I find I have trouble keeping blazing piety uptime when I take knife, at least when I go shroudfield

#

I want to like it for the CDR and knife's general great crit multipliers

upper sun
#

this is not bad tbh

#

i still like my shield better

lethal lagoon
#

It started with 1 good roll and hadron bricked the other 3

upper sun
#

unarmored is recommended for this for some reason

lethal lagoon
#

Is it?

#

huh

#

I guess it is, man I haven't used that knife in forever

upper sun
rigid sky
#

Presume it is good for horde clear

upper sun
#

yeah

#

though isnt the mark 4 just better?

rigid sky
#

You know the one thing the ogrynomicon lacks is combo descriptions

#

Generally yeah, 4 is supreme

royal ibex
upper sun
#

ye

rigid sky
#

It's got the most complete moveset and deals with armour the best

#

Or well

#

The least badly I guess

upper sun
royal ibex
upper sun
#

tbh shield is good for that too

royal ibex
#

shields fun

#

i enjoy smacking the shit out of enemies with its heavy, friends find it way too clunky and slow fo their tastes

upper sun
#

my biggest issue with ogryn is that underhanded rocks require two button presses

rigid sky
#

You gotta build it right

#

If you cook just right the shield can 1-shot any 4 trash enemies at once

royal ibex
#

mind you ever since ff15's shield combat where you use it as a gauntlet ive been trying 'and failing' to find a game that replicates it

upper sun
#

overhand? press and release. underhand? PRSS HOLD PRESS

#

hate that shit so much its unreal

rigid sky
#

Every swing.

#

And block cancel H1 spam is great on elites

#

But idk

#

Shield bores me too much for me to get good with it lol

royal ibex
#

ive just been finding it more enjoyable to play veteran and more recently psyker more than the other 2 classes lmao

marble crater
rigid sky
upper sun
#

ye

rigid sky
#

I just use what they recommend

#

And run it with heavy hitter and loyal protector

#

Seriously the taunt sets you up a lot better than bullrush with the shovel for some reason

#

Easy to combo into a bendy bonk when elites come around

#

Kill 4 Crushers in one bendy bonk sometimes

#

I had it happen twice so far

royal ibex
#

incredible

marble crater
#

I enjoy them both, taunt is nice for that trapper you can hear but not reach, taunt and stagger them

rigid sky
#

I actually prefer charge on my shield for some reason

royal ibex
#

i remember when i was playing ogryn a lot id run missions where id use my gun as little as possible and just rely on latrine shovel and rocks. was great fun just beaning snipers with a piece of the wall

rigid sky
#

I heard it's really good now too

upper sun
#

oh shit

rigid sky
#

But come on, the Crusher oneshots :D

upper sun
#

🤔

#

its the same perks and blessings too KEKW_ogryn

royal ibex
#

you want crowd control or youw ant crusher deletion loregryn

rigid sky
#

I think Thrust Bromentum is promoted more over Thundrous for the mark 5

upper sun
#

to be fair

rigid sky
#

LOVELY horizontal heavies

upper sun
#

thrust and bromom is good on everything

rigid sky
#

And Thrust is like a third best blessing on cleavers

royal ibex
#

psyker related question, if i wanted to get a decent duelling sword, whats the rioll to go for 'and i cant even remember if theres mroe than 1 of them'

upper sun
#

90% of other weapons even if you do a heavy attack as soon as possible you get 1 thrust stacj

#

cleavers stack it a bit slower for some reaosn

rigid sky
#

And I think bromentum is less favoured on Paul too

#

Because it's too weak to trigger

marble crater
upper sun
#

ye

rigid sky
#

I take Carapace on it, since my gunker is the only spec I have using it

marble crater
#

Oh right, I wanted to see if I can change Unyielding to carapace on mine

rigid sky
#

And Crushers are the only thing I'm not shooting at

#

Yeah, if you are gunker don't get unyielding on it imo, take carapace/maniac

marble crater
#

I had some stressful missions, brain not braining right

rigid sky
#

If you aren't then unyielding is probably good

#

Since psykers otherwise struggle on boss dps

marble crater
#

Or cara instead of Unyielding, as the others said

royal ibex
#

bet. just wanna open up my options a bit. also trying to get a funny knife roll like with veteran since the peril to block skill makes it kind of funny

rigid sky
#

It just depends on what ranged you pick with it tbh, psykers have to shape their melee to fit around their build

cinder moon
upper sun
#

maniac and uncanny are top priority

#

i have one locked to weakspot and its not awful

royal ibex
rigid sky
marble crater
#

Sad, Unyielding is locked on mine

royal ibex
#

alright back to remnant

radiant frigate
#

even when every crit refreshes it?

#

with like 60% crit rate?

upper galleon
#

yea are you taking the left side? right side blazing piety option is way better

upper sun
#

bruh wtf

#

game really wants me to play ogryn

marble crater
#

Do it

upper sun
#

i only have a functioning gauntlet' and shield

#

i need a good kickback 😭

marble crater
#

Same, but shield and gauntlet or rumbler works great too

prime elk
cinder moon
#

blastoom + shield is a great pairing

upper sun
#

eh i dont wanna go nades i want a ranged weapon that pairs well with rock

cinder moon
#

my shield build is blastoom + nuke

#

with bleed bullrush

#

proper riot copgryn vibes

Question did they change something about insta death with peril? Ive never had a problem with it until today I used to be able to ride high peril no problem. Today however ive killed myself 3 times like not even being downed from high peril I just exploded into nothing. So either i got rusty or they changed something im not aware of

marble crater
#

They didn't change anything in the 6 or 7 months I have been playing loregryn

limpid lodge
#

ok so i just got rusty then

marble crater
#

I guess so KEKW_ogryn

radiant frigate
#

all i can say is that after doing the loner/shroudfield penances i find it hard to return to Normal Zealot

#

you know, proper zealotry with a 2h chainsword

#

Didn't get disabled or anything, either

royal ibex
#

only time that happened to me was yesterday when i exploded after my scriers ran out, im guessing maybe i hit the push with force sword but legit couldnt say lmao

#

tbh was a horde happening so probably hit it in a panic

#

also found out with the DD bug where it doesnt show stacks is a visual bug, spose the UI just has so many buffs to keep track of some games it justd ecides 'nah you dont need to know your keystone number thats fine'

I did notice that playing with left aura psykers hide some icons

#

@plucky flax you, specifically
as a blaze trauma enjoyer, how do you feel about purgatus?

potent echo
#

Purgatus bad

#

purgatus veri bed.

#

purgatus “people” when i show them good staffs like the stub

#

What is consensus with mk5 duelling saber?

pearl lion
#

Left or right?

#

Right usually

#

Unless you going smite EP 🤷‍♂️

cosmic sigil

#

is it still in fashion to cast smite at everything?

potent echo
#

Yesn't

zinc phoenix
pearl lion
#

Which is the best blitz for doing the EP penance? Assail?

mystic burrow
#

EP brainburst one shots many things, which guarantees you getting 1 point of progress

#

pair with overpowering souls which guarantees EP stacks on elite kills, and you'll start making good progress

pearl lion
#

Cool ty

#

Any thoughts on best staves, outside of Smite+Surge atm?

#

Seems like Trauma is in a good place, but I think thats the one type I dont have a good roll of

mystic burrow
#

voidstrike/surge with brainburst and kinetic flayer

#

well, i actually dont like surge all that much despite using it a lot, since i need to use venting shriek to clear hordes

#

but voidstrike tho, it can deal everything

thorn cedar
#

ive been doin it with trauma

mystic burrow
#

besides mass carapace

grim inlet
#

my boy goes hard

mystic burrow
#

he prays hard

wet belfry
#

Both of them heavyily outperform purgatus, surge mainly due to just genuinely being more versatile.

#

A surge cant deal with hordes, heavyily struggles in dealing with multiple elites at the same time.

#

A trauma will never have that problem.

wet belfry
#

The compensation even then that trauma for example takes in a lack of single target damage isn’t even that huge especially with good LMB usage.

grim inlet
#

voidstrike and trauma are built different

wet belfry
#

Purgatus is legit just the opposite in being strong aoe damage with shit single target in comparison to surge

#

The CC also is underwhelming compared to the other staffs.

grim inlet
#

my favorites in order are
trauma>void>purg>surge

fresh reef
#

purgatus relies on the rest of your build to fill in the gaps, as does surge usually

#

trauma and void just don't have those gaps, generally speaking

wet belfry
#

Not having the gaps tend to genuinely lead to stronger builds anyways.

#

It means less talent point investment in fixing the weaknesses.

#

Ex a purgatus user is going to seriously need to consider how to get single target damage.

fresh reef
#

I removed the creeping flames from shriek, put it into a staff, and now I main brain burst

#

my brain rot is simply too apartment complex

grim inlet
#

with my trauma i don't even have any talents at the top really. i have the toughness on peril generated, then 10% chance to quel, then toughness to brainburst

mystic burrow
#

didnt take that one?

wet belfry
#

Actually having to run EP on anything is a good way to ruin a strong psyker build.

#

Muh points going to blitz abilities Guarded

strong gulch
#

Feck. I forgor that I gambled away all of my ordos.

Time to sell things. I got bad ideas to try.

royal ibex
#

melk had this laspistol sitting around, after changing some of the stats around, how your eckon thisl hold up till i find a better one?

#

'might change flak to crit honestly

strong gulch
#

If you can keep it on your target, then it'll last awhile. At the very least, you got a blessing to feed to hadron.

royal ibex
#

i got a similar one that ive been using for a while just as the original laspistol

#

if i can get a better stat roll on it i will but same time im chasing stability and 5 extra total ammo in a magazine, ill be fine

#

would be nice to see 200 damage though lmao

grim inlet
#

sorry was in a mission

royal ibex
#

should really invest in force staffs, play psyker but usually just ignore staffs and go full guns lmao

grim inlet
#

i go warp expenditure, to battle medalion, 15 toughness, to brainburst, then i go across to prescience, empathatic evasion to ranged damage, to shield then warp siphon

unkempt hare
#

Been trying to complete some of the new penances and there's two that really bug me, the one for disrupt destiny and the one for telekine shield

grim inlet
#

telekine shield penance is ridiculous lol

unkempt hare
#

I've been trying to learn gun psyker but I'm having a hard time, I'm rusty and have some bad habits

royal ibex
unkempt hare
#

Disrupt destiny just feels really hard to keep up

#

Like at a decent amount of stacks

royal ibex
#

plus it didnt used to reliably mark targets

unkempt hare
#

Yeah, that's good, they slowly drop off just like new warp charges

royal ibex
#

so youd be going for 85% of the mission hoping whatever you hit was thge marked target since it bugged out for the 49th time

#

now the only real issue i have with it is the game will decide to not show your stacks on the buff bar

plucky flax
unkempt hare
#

The peril build on gun psyker has been a bit scary at times

fresh reef
unkempt hare
#

I've blown myself up more than once fresh out of scryers

#

It's uh it's been rough

royal ibex
#

its a funny thing to see

unkempt hare
#

Hey would be a great way to do out with a bang if you havent

royal ibex
#

you'l get it, just takes some playing around and hoping you dont fatfinger assail or force sword push

unkempt hare
#

Assail too, proc peril and one more to seal it

royal ibex
#

gun psykers

fresh reef
#

I've just learned to not use warp attacks while in Scrier's

royal ibex
#

thats really it

#

youc an use a few at the start if you wanna thin a crowd a bit

fresh reef
#

Scrier's benefits non-warp weapons the most anyhow

royal ibex
#

i gotta try get a funny roll on the catachan knife

strong gulch
#

I blew up trying a thing. Now it's time to sit for a long time. Maybe I can think about that I did.

Which was surge + transfer peril on void with SG.

near wyvern
#

5 auric maelstroms in a row without dying

analog turtle
#

Arguably best stats on Mk 4 for crit build? Melee crit chance and damage?

#

Or does stam serve us better?

upper galleon
#

take maniac and unyielding

#

imo flak and carapace and even elites are fine too

analog turtle
#

But base stats on the sword?

#

Oh damage against

#

So out of the 4, which? maniac priority?

upper galleon
#

the first 2 i listed are ranked most important

#

probably maniac for the reliable mutie and rager kills

strong gulch
#

I got it at 4% peril with battle med. Xd

strong gulch
#

For anyone farming for the Perilous Focus penance. It did it on the Silo Cluster map with voidstike. I had transfer peril as a blessing and battle meditation as a talent to help pad out my time.

radiant frigate
#

all these elaborate setups and i just saw a poxwalker horde, pressed f and then m1 with illisi

#

with reality anchor and battle meditation but still

very easy

a zealot did manage to make it to the horde but i already clicked most of them

every time i wanna do a penance i get good(bad)team mates

earnest token
#

doe's anyone know if psykers will have more than 4 staff to choose in the future?

strong gulch
#

I hope so. We've been hungry for new staves forever.

mystic burrow
#

dont really care what it is

#

i just want new peril weapons

pearl lion
#

Left or right for penance?

plucky flax
#

It's up to you. I am noob so I use the longer duration.

mystic burrow
#

left side is basically ass

pearl lion
#

Cool that's what I was leaning towards

plucky flax
#

It'd not take the middle node too.

#

Save you a point.

#

The toughness regen up top should be plenty.

mystic burrow
#

middle is quell peril no?

pearl lion
#

Its quell, not toughness

mystic burrow
#

but yea, dont need it

plucky flax
#

Okay I mistook it for ep.

#

I guess if you want free quell.

#

I don't think it's good though. staregryn

pearl lion
#

Nah I freed it up for a different quell talent haha

#

30% quell speed

mystic burrow
#

also with new disrupt destiny, left side is basically cooked

plucky flax
#

Oh yeah that one is really good.

#

Super quell. pogryn

pearl lion
#

Yeah I was scratching my head how to get it

strong gulch
#

Still tho, it's a chance on IF you kill the DD target.

pearl lion
#

That extra point let me get it

plucky flax
#

One of my fav talent. It's so good for trauma and surge.

#

2 peril hungry staves.

ornate hamlet
#

What do I do with this?

mystic burrow
#

u def want to replace one of 2 blessings with bromentum

#

psyker lacks the attack speed to clear hordes without bromentum using a tac axe

plucky flax
#

Decimator to bm and crit chance to some damage perk.

#

Why tac axe on psyker though it's already sorta ass on zealot can make good use of it. nooooo

radiant frigate
#

can tac axes even trigger it reliably

late yew
#

alright, time to update all mods

ornate hamlet
#

Gun Psyker

mystic burrow
#

i'd use a knife instead tho

late yew
#

Vortex now supports darktide?

mystic burrow
#

cuz at the very least, knife can slay beefier targets faster

#

whilst with tac axe, u're mediocre in both horde clear and killing beefier targets

ornate hamlet
#

Ah shit I forgot I had this lmao

plucky flax
#

Always take bm with axes.

mystic burrow
#

headtaker to Bm

plucky flax
#

Big head chop.

late yew
#

Using anything but force swords as psyker is heresy

ornate hamlet
#

I dont have BM 😦

mystic burrow
#

get 1

plucky flax
#

But again combat axe is so freaking slow on psyker.

mystic burrow
#

even a t1 bm is sufficient

plucky flax
#

I can't use it. nooooo

ornate hamlet
#

t1 really7?

mystic burrow
#

trust me the weakspot dmg is negligeble

#

if i spelt it correctly

#

which i doubt

plucky flax
#

Negligeable

#

I believe

late yew
mystic burrow
#

thanks

mystic burrow
#

what is vortex

late yew
ornate hamlet
#

(turns out I had a t3)

mystic burrow
#

and that's heavy atk numbers

#

u dont really heavy atk with combat axe unless its on ogryns or maulers

#

or monstrosities

ornate hamlet
#

No, those were the light attacks.

mystic burrow
#

oh is it? mb

ornate hamlet
#

oh wait

#

lol

#

nnvm

#

im dumb

#

here's light

flint pawn
#

So uh, intelligent people of the Psyker chat, idk what balance stuff happened this update but but what're the cool kids using and what fell off this patch

mystic burrow
flint pawn
#

Alright cool

ornate hamlet
#

I just get bored of using this all the time

mystic burrow
#

unless u use DD with left side tree

#

DD left side tree is cooked

flint pawn
#

DD stands for

mystic burrow
#

disrupt destiny

flint pawn
#

Interesting

ornate hamlet
#

Cooked good or bad

mystic burrow
#

left side extra stacks disrupt destiny is not even usable anymore

mystic burrow
#

like u got your ass cooked kinda cooked

mystic burrow
flint pawn
#

Good thing I never used it to begin with

radiant frigate
mystic burrow
#

so i tried running disrupt destiny on left side tree to do the penance of maintaining 15 stacks or more for 1800 seconds

ornate hamlet
#

Is the DS mk II good?

#

Has some cleave to it.

mystic burrow
#

i got only 2 seconds

#

no sry, 4 seconds

pearl lion
#

Well that was weird

#

I went in with the extended duration

mystic burrow
#

throughout the entire mission i only maintained 15 stacks of disrupt destiny for 4 seconds

pearl lion
#

But each stack was only lacking like 2 seconds

mystic burrow
#

with extended duration however, i basically maintain 15 stacks the entire game

#

so left side is just cooked imo

pearl lion
#

I think it was a UI bug though, because I still made progress towards the penance

mystic burrow
#

the 2 second dd stack is actually movement speed from killing a marked target

pearl lion
#

Yeah it's happened to me with another stacking penance

#

ah there you go

mystic burrow
#

the actual dd stack is not shown due to bug, and will only start showing when u lose all stacks and restack them

pearl lion
#

gud game

mystic burrow
#

and i can go the entire game not seeing my dd stack even once with extended duration

#

which says alot about your ability to maintain stacks

#

but yea, weakspot kill gives 3 stacks, sure, but u gotta make sure u're capable of killing the targets u marked before your allies kill them

#

there's also an issue with what weapon u're using to get said kills

#

columnus aint gonna headshot kill a marked mauler, u wasting bullets

#

the change is good, its one step towards making left side dd useful, but the duration is just too short imo

late yew
#

Were there any new weapons btw?

#

after new revolver and laspistol

#

What significant talent changes happened to psyker?

#

also HOLY FUCK amount of penances completed the moment i logged in

rigid sky
#

Scrier's Gaze now affected by Warp Siphon CDR

#

scrier's gaze now cools down while active

#

Did I miss anything?

strong gulch
# ornate hamlet Is the DS mk II good?

It's pretty good. Not as strong DPS as the MK4 but you get a bit better horde clear. You have to weave more specials in your attacks vs chained heavies for tougher targets.

rigid sky
#

I guess if you use a gun, be aware that survialist aura veterans won't be giving you as much ammo back as they did before

strong gulch
#

The animation for the heavy 1 on DS 2 and 4 is the same, but they have different damage for SOME reason. wtfgryn

rigid sky
#

Tbh, horde clear on DS4 in a SG/DD/Assail build is still busted anyway

#

I struggle to see why you would pick a different duelling sword

late yew
rigid sky
#

Yeah, gunker is in the ascendent now

#

it was already good

strong gulch
#

DS 4 is so ubiquitous. Sometimes people want something slightly different or RNG is a buttface.

I agree that most of the time its horde management is sufficient, but there is the odd time that it isn't.

mystic burrow
#

falling off one at a time is a good change, but 4 seconds is too fast, that's my opinion

rigid sky
#

The good psyker exclusive weapons are just too good tbh

#

I mean, not problematically

#

just, good enough to warp the lessers out of the conversation mostly

#

the holy trinity + combat blade 6, not sure I'd use anything else. Maybe a rashad.

radiant frigate
#

is it just me or is knife 6 just better than knife 3

vestal fulcrum
#

It may depend on how comfortable you are with each blade’s moveset

frail pasture
#

Bro the past like 5 hours have had monsterous specials in auric maelstrom

#

is there some event going on

vestal fulcrum
#

I like Mk6 more, but that’s only a subjective take

radiant frigate
#

perhaps it is a comfort thing

potent echo
#

I think the push attack is the same for both knives

#

Same damage too

vestal fulcrum
#

the only thing that differs is the hitbox/animation

plucky flax
radiant frigate
#

i vastly prefer 6 on zealot

potent echo
#

Do the horizontal swings have any real cleave

strong narwhal
#

hello, im new and just hit level 10 and was looking for some talent point assistance

plucky flax
#

Zealot has very fast attack speed so mk3 light spam can horde clear good enough. And mk3 have better single target dps with heavy spam.

#

That's my preference on zealot.

upper galleon
#

you can reset infinite number of times for free

vestal fulcrum
upper galleon
#

and make 5 loadouts to save

strong narwhal
#

i just don't know what weapons to use either or which magic's better between smite and head explode

upper galleon
#

being level 10, just try them all

#

as you level

late yew
#

First game after more than 6 months of break

vestal fulcrum
#

Here’s an idea

#

Use what you like

upper galleon
#

it doesn't really matter till level 30

late yew
#

What do you think of smite with EP now? @near wyvern

strong narwhal
cinder moon
#

(EP smite was always good, now it's even better)

vestal fulcrum
#

Does any weapon feel particularly garbage to you?

strong narwhal
#

semi automatic weapons are not my favorite

vestal fulcrum
#

(I have a lot of weapon takes such as these whatthefuck_heresy )

late yew
vestal fulcrum
#

What was the argument, though?

strong narwhal
#

also does it matter what order i do the missions in? is there a story mode?

potent echo
vestal fulcrum
# potent echo Yea

6.5 cleave. You can typically cleave through 2/3 bruisers, if they’re not empowered by pox

#

Push attack also has 6.5 cleave for some reason whatthefuck_heresy

marble crater
late yew
#

There is no story basically

strong narwhal
#

so these special assignments dont matter?

upper sun
#

story is some nerds fell to chaos in atoma and now you have to kill them

vestal fulcrum
marble crater
#

I saw some post on reddit that tried to put all the missions in some order based on importance of what we do there and which person the mission leader is, so there is that I guess

vestal fulcrum
#

Many items and descriptions of such tell some story through text, essentially

upper sun
#

you do get bits of lore in missions through the vox

#

would be nice to get a big finale at some point but thats like 7 patches and 30 years away from happening

marble crater
#

Kill heretics, eat rashuns, simple as.

late yew
#

Lore is story are different things

vestal fulcrum
#

Yeah, sometimes what the vox casters are saying is relevant, beyond typical banter that is

upper sun
#

imagine storming a big compound with 2 other teams

Game crashes constantly, just like right now Sitgryn

My only crashes are a result of going into inventory

Inventory after ANY mission - that’s a crash

man

#

i swear to god

strong narwhal
#

when should i use smite vs my magic stick

upper sun
#

all they have to do is replace the inventory 3d models with jpgs

marble crater
#

Lucky, I have at least one crash every gaming sessions while in the mission. If the gameplay wasn't so much fun I would wait until a fix, but the gameplay is too good throwing

upper sun
#

its not that hard just add an option to switch out inventory models to the ones used in brunts

should i ever melee or just stick to using my stick

marble crater

I could, but I want to shoot and shoot (farming the penance)

paper lily
#

depends on how good ur awareness is

lethal lagoon
#

Melee for me is largely mutant killing, movement tech, and blocking.

#

Depending on build it might be my horde clear though

late yew
potent echo
#

If you see a group of shooters it's usually better to dive in with melee to tie them up

late yew

Until you are level 30 though there is no point in discussing builds

So just level up for now

Unless you have assail then ayolmao

uh i guess in using smite

late yew

and try different weapons

you are useless

I would pesonally not level using smite, you won't learn a lot of the game.

you'll find other classes much less fun at least

why whats wrong with smite

I thought BR was mid until I tried EP BR KEKW_ogryn

paper lily

smite lets you ignore core mechanics if you have decent dodging

Being able to oneshot ragers is nice

Smite is kind of like cheating in school. It works, but the moment it doesn't you are fucked. And you haven't learned any skills on how to function without cheating.

after the new patch which staff do yall think is the best?

paper lily
#

they've not changed

#

think all staffs are decent except purg being a bit weaker

lethal lagoon
#

^

frail pasture
#

Bruh you take that back

lethal lagoon
#

All staves are S tier weapons, with rending Trauma and Purg being in A+ tier.

frail pasture
#

Purg is fucking pog

paper lily
#

purg isn't even bad

#

it just gets eclipsed by other shit

distant heart
#

so is voidstrike still the best all a rounder? thats what the guide i was sent earlier says

paper lily
#

i personally find void too slow

lethal lagoon
#

If you can headshot reliably.

paper lily
#

think staff is mostly preference

lethal lagoon
#

^

#

Staves have big varience in skill floor and ceiling too, so it's never 100% clear which is actually that much better.

frail pasture
#

It also depends on your teamcomp too tbh

distant heart
#

fair

lethal lagoon
#

Correction, Purg is still last place though

distant heart
#

my duo is a veteran

frail pasture
#

Fair

strong narwhal
#

do psychos ever use guns

frail pasture
#

but Purg is pog at horde control, and if you have teammates not running a ton of horde control its pog

lethal lagoon
#

Guns are better for leveling

strong gulch
lethal lagoon
#

And guns have some high DPS builds at max level

marble crater
#

Well, Trauma is bad, we can agree on that right? Please buff pray

paper lily
#

gun is strong but idk if it's straight up better than psyker specific stuff

frail pasture
distant heart
#

anyone have recommended talent trees? i like hitting lots of things at once

lethal lagoon
#

If it wasn't for columunus, I would categorically say staves are better.

distant heart
#

like im level 11 so im still new but shooting lightning is sooo fun

frail pasture
#

Good news, surge staff and smite both stay strong 🙂

strong gulch
#

Surge at low level is pretty decent.

frail pasture

Surge at high level with the right stats/perks stays good

Is it normal for my team to constantly be off wandering doing their own things?

lacerate is just straight up inferior in every way to flesh tearer

arseholes playing single player in a co-op game

anything below 5 is low

except 4

That is the hardest difficulty in the game

Actual gods who support the team and make the knife work

and people who are trying to be like the gods but are failing miserably (it's me :D )

late yew

because knife is bad supporting tool

see, i get annoyed because even people who are really good with knife

they'd be even better with a more well rounded weapon

usually stealth

idk why i struggled a lot with the assail shards but i did so well with the lightning

marble crater

also whats soulblaze how do i use it

i use loner and stealth on my zealot but play just like a chastise zealot

There are good soruces and bad sources of it

Good sources are Purgatus, Blazing Spirit Trauma weapons, and Perilous Combustion, Creeping Flames talents.

radiant frigate
strong narwhal
#

What sources are they?

rigid sky
#

Wildfire is... ok, but just spreads existing soulblaze around.

#

Bad sources are all other blazing spirit weapons (force swords, and staves that aren't Trauma)

marble crater

Trauma bad though, AgentChaos said so

AgentChaos is doing a trole.

whats this knife people keep talking about

radiant frigate
rigid sky
#

There are two of them, the mark III and the mark VI

#

of the two, the mark III is the better one for elite killing and the VI is somewhat better at horde clear.

#

Generally, Zealots take the III and Veterans and Psykers take the VI.

late yew
#

BOth are NOT usable on psyker

radiant frigate
#

this zealot takes the VI

rigid sky
late yew
#

IF you want to be a dead weight to the team go ahead

radiant frigate
#

usable but outclassed by psyker weapons

marble crater
#

Why take knife, if I can take big fancy sword

rigid sky
radiant frigate
#

and since there are so many psyker builds that barely use their melee

rigid sky
radiant frigate
#

knife is perfectly fine

#

i am not a fan of these builds

#

join the illisi faction

#

embrace magically-enhanced melee

rigid sky
#

I mean, say you don't like it, sure

#

say it's niche, yes.

#

Say it's not a recommended pick for people looking for advice, I agree.

#

Say it's "dead weight" and you're actually a clown.

radiant frigate
#

i used to think knife was dead weight too

#

mostly because of the knife zealots i got in qp

rigid sky
radiant frigate
#

then i saw like 1-2 that worked miracles with knife

rigid sky
#

but yeah, elevator rushers give knives a bad name

radiant frigate
#

and i thought "alright maybe there is something to this"

rigid sky
#

those people can just fucking rot in nurgle's septic tank

radiant frigate
#

it was a lacerate uncanny enjoyer

rigid sky
#

tbh the second blessing isn't so important with a knife. Lacerate is a troll pick but that guy probably could have carried with a blue knife.

radiant frigate
#

he said it was more reliable for scourge

#

which i can see

paper lily
#

0 chance a knife zealot is gonna have issues keeping scourge up the entire game even with no bleed blessing

rigid sky
#

I guess maybe if you're not good at reliably hitting weakspots too it's not bad

radiant frigate
#

i kinda like it

#

it is very keystone-agnostic

#

i still end up running bp with it but still

rigid sky
#

CDR is too important, blazing piety is gonna be the best keystone in most cases until/unless crit CDR gets adjusted down

radiant frigate
#

martyrdom kinda goated

rigid sky
#

25% crit for existing is crazy

paper lily
#

piety as a 1 pt investment is sick, 3 points meh

rigid sky
#

Hm, fair point

radiant frigate
#

wdym

#

25% crit

rigid sky
#

I haven't tried to fuck with 1 point BP

paper lily
#

zealot has by far the best value nodes out of pretty much all class trees

radiant frigate
#

faster trigger and faster upkeep

paper lily
#

10 crit for 2 points is kinda shit

rigid sky
#

15% for 1 point investment is definitely more efficient but I feel like getting another +10 for 2 points is still good

#

Like +5 crit stat nodes are premium on every class they appear on

paper lily
#

yea i mean, it's not bad... it's just meh

radiant frigate
#

pretty epic with laspistol

#

okay maybe i should just make an infernus dum-dum laspistol

strong narwhal
#

i finally didnt get put in jail its a miracle, praise emperor

rigid sky
#

Blazing Piety third point is basically the same economy but with some kind of extra bonus that I forget what it is lol

radiant frigate
#

2nd point makes crits also give stacks

#

3rd point is +10%

paper lily
#

which is completely useless since allies can proc piety

radiant frigate
#

i am not going to depend on that

paper lily
#

well ofc, but you'll never not have piety up, even with 1 pt investment

rigid sky
#

On knife stealth zealot it falls off a lot for me lol

#

I feel like I might go to 1 point investment on my other builds maybe if I can see a better use

looking for a good fire sword build

but for my knife pervert I want to keep it

rigid sky
paper lily

idk, like i said i have a really poor opinion of knife zealot, or knife in general, knife rewards weakspot hits with like a 3x multi and even playing perfectly is probably suboptimal to an evis 15 holding m1

yeesh

This isn't meant as a criticism of you

#

I'm just saying that this build isn't great and picks some talent nodes that are just bad

radiant frigate
#

if by fire you mean force it is good

sturdy oar
#

well instead of doing that please can i just find a build or something idk whats good or not

radiant frigate
#

if you mean soulblaze crit swords it is bad

sturdy oar
#

not fire sword force sword

rigid sky

so you can critique your own builds going forwards

#

Ah, ok!

#

Force swords generally are great

sturdy oar
#

my bad

rigid sky
#

Deimos and Illisi at least, fuck obscurus

#

You're using voidstrike so you can pick either Deimos or Illisi really

sturdy oar
#

i dont have IIIisi yet i still have deimos but eah

late yew
#

gee, people nowdays crying if you say "not good" to them

sturdy oar
#

well they just have voidstrike there

rigid sky
#

Ah - ok, so one first point

late yew
#

illi is for horde clear

rigid sky
#

On psyker, your ranged weapon defines you

sturdy oar
late yew
#

Deimos is for single target

rigid sky
#

so you pick a melee weapon to go with your ranged

paper lily
rigid sky
#

but good news, deimos or illisi are always appropriate

#

so any build you wanna make can be a force sword build

#

now, which of deimos or illisi you use does depend

late yew
#

Just why

paper lily
#

assail is for horde

rigid sky
#

I wouldn't use Illisi with Purgatus for example

sturdy oar
#

i have deimos mk IV

rigid sky
#

So, with a Deimos, I would recommend either a Purgatus, a Trauma or a Voidstrike build

paper lily
#

have assail and shriek for horde clear, never really gonna get overrun with that build

late yew
sturdy oar
#

oh

rigid sky
#

and then your talent build will depend on which of those you want to take

late yew
paper lily
#

better for movement than force swords

rigid sky
#

(I use Illisi with Voidstrike personally, but Deimos works too)

strong gulch
# sturdy oar my bad

In your defense, it's a blaze force sword.

But yeah, fire sword is a specific build that is memes.

rigid sky
#

Duelling Sword isn't bad for horde clear, surprisingly. Although it helps a lot when it gets boosted by DD and SG

paper lily
#

duelling sword is unironically used mostly for special attack in that build

late yew
#

DS is the best for crusher and rager killing

rigid sky
#

And yeah, sorry for jumping on you about that. But fire sword is a really cool idea that a lot of people try to make and it always ends terribly lmao

sturdy oar
#

what is purgatus?

rigid sky
#

Relatively easy to build since it only has 2 important modifiers on it, and only 1 essential blessing and 1 essential perk

strong gulch
#

I truly wish fire sword wasn't bad.

rigid sky
#

relatively easy to play with too

marble crater
#

Fire sword is a lot more fun than it is good, sadly throwing

could probably make it work if wildfire wasn't as bad as it was

haha atm i only have this

Wildfire is niche af.

Oh wow level 10 ok I'm dropping too much information on you then

I'm very sorry lmao

marble crater
sturdy oar
#

ive been playing zealot but im so done with zealot

rigid sky
#

so, staves you have right now are trauma and surge

#

and both of them will be kinda shit until you hit higher levels really

strong gulch
#

I want my exorcist + blazing spirit illisi with SG dream to come true. It's so meh tho.

rigid sky
#

surge probably more usable than trauma

distant heart

trauma feels so bad without blessings

strong gulch
sturdy oar
#

what should i go for talent wise

rigid sky

I would recommend just slapping on an accatran laspistol, or a kantrael Ia infantry lasgun, or a Columnus Infantry Autogun

sturdy oar

for a force sword

strong gulch

high

at least for lower levels
