It started with 1 good roll and hadron bricked the other 3
unarmored is recommended for this for some reason
Presume it is good for horde clear
You know the one thing the ogrynomicon lacks is combo descriptions
Generally yeah, 4 is supreme
i got a real good 550 shield im trying to stop using, shovels can only go so far though
ye
It's got the most complete moveset and deals with armour the best
Or well
The least badly I guess
shovel is so good for rager duals
true that
Shovel 5 is the best dude
tbh shield is good for that too
shields fun
i enjoy smacking the shit out of enemies with its heavy, friends find it way too clunky and slow fo their tastes
my biggest issue with ogryn is that underhanded rocks require two button presses
You gotta build it right
If you cook just right the shield can 1-shot any 4 trash enemies at once
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
overhand? press and release. underhand? PRSS HOLD PRESS
hate that shit so much its unreal
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
ive just been finding it more enjoyable to play veteran and more recently psyker more than the other 2 classes lmao
Any recommendations? 
Check the ogrynomicon but that looks good
ye
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
incredible
I enjoy them both, taunt is nice for that trapper you can hear but not reach, taunt and stagger them
I actually prefer charge on my shield for some reason
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
That's the old shovel without the folding
I heard it's really good now too
oh shit
But come on, the Crusher oneshots :D
you want crowd control or youw ant crusher deletion 
I think Thrust Bromentum is promoted more over Thundrous for the mark 5
Tbh 5 does both
to be fair
LOVELY horizontal heavies
thrust and bromom is good on everything
Not as favoured on combat axes (Thrust that is, bromentum is king)
And Thrust is like a third best blessing on cleavers
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'
eh it stacks a bit slower on cleavers
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
Mk4 with uncanny, shred/rampage, Maniac, Unyielding 
Carapace also an option
ye
I take Carapace on it, since my gunker is the only spec I have using it
Oh right, I wanted to see if I can change Unyielding to carapace on mine
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
I had some stressful missions, brain not braining right
If you aren't then unyielding is probably good
Since psykers otherwise struggle on boss dps

Or cara instead of Unyielding, as the others said
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
It just depends on what ranged you pick with it tbh, psykers have to shape their melee to fit around their build
what's better than this
I see a few using knife 6
new knife fucks. i got a semi decent one on vet i pair witht he bleed on hit and it does way more work than it should
You fools, you could be comparing rocks together
Sad, Unyielding is locked on mine
brute to brute communication. brute to brute conversation
alright back to remnant
really now
even when every crit refreshes it?
with like 60% crit rate?
yea are you taking the left side? right side blazing piety option is way better
Do it
Same, but shield and gauntlet or rumbler works great too
Don’t do it
blastoom + shield is a great pairing
eh i dont wanna go nades i want a ranged weapon that pairs well with rock
I think I disengage too much maybe
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
They didn't change anything in the 6 or 7 months I have been playing 
ok so i just got rusty then
I guess so 
most likely
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
I had a weird bug-out of my peril the other day where I just exploded without getting the ~3 seconds of warning
Didn't get disabled or anything, either
That's not good
so beautiful 
using my warp powers (12 gauge) to smite the heretics (home invaders)
just as Our Beloved intended.
ya thats been happening to me today like im just exploding but not being at max peril its possibly just lag tho
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
Such as smoke, Weapon Specialist
Heavy hitter
@plucky flax you, specifically
as a blaze trauma enjoyer, how do you feel about purgatus?
Purgatus bad
purgatus veri bed.
purgatus “people” when i show them good staffs like the stub
What is consensus with mk5 duelling saber?
Best mobility, worst dmg (compared to ds4 at least)
is it still in fashion to cast smite at everything?
Yesn't
Excellent for yeeting yourself off cliffs with dodges that go super hard
Which is the best blitz for doing the EP penance? Assail?
brain burst
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
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
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
ive been doin it with trauma
besides mass carapace
he prays hard
Voidstrike, trauma are the contenders for best staffs
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.
100%
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.
voidstrike and trauma are built different
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.
my favorites in order are
trauma>void>purg>surge
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
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.
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
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
what about increased warp damage on crit
didnt take that one?
Actually having to run EP on anything is a good way to ruin a strong psyker build.

Muh points going to blitz abilities 
Feck. I forgor that I gambled away all of my ordos.
Time to sell things. I got bad ideas to try.
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
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.
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
should really invest in force staffs, play psyker but usually just ignore staffs and go full guns lmao
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
i never tried gun psyker
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
telekine shield penance is ridiculous lol
I've been trying to learn gun psyker but I'm having a hard time, I'm rusty and have some bad habits
its more entertaining than it looks. got people runnign full warp magic and im here going 'fuck it every game is destiny 2 warlock'
Disrupt destiny just feels really hard to keep up
Like at a decent amount of stacks
be thankful its not old DD, 30 seconds and then you lose all your stacks
plus it didnt used to reliably mark targets
Yeah, that's good, they slowly drop off just like new warp charges
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
No meme it's outclassed by blaze trauma but its very easy to play.
The peril build on gun psyker has been a bit scary at times
Very chill deletion of Maulers
its a funny thing to see
Hey would be a great way to do out with a bang if you havent
you'l get it, just takes some playing around and hoping you dont fatfinger assail or force sword push
Assail too, proc peril and one more to seal it
I've just learned to not use warp attacks while in Scrier's
Scrier's benefits non-warp weapons the most anyhow
i gotta try get a funny roll on the catachan knife
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.
5 auric maelstroms in a row without dying
Arguably best stats on Mk 4 for crit build? Melee crit chance and damage?
Or does stam serve us better?
neither and neitehr stam
take maniac and unyielding
imo flak and carapace and even elites are fine too
But base stats on the sword?
Oh damage against
So out of the 4, which? maniac priority?
the first 2 i listed are ranked most important
probably maniac for the reliable mutie and rager kills
Nice. Got perilous focus. 
melk ran out of junk to sell holy shit
nice. got that yesterday after swapping over one of the talents for it 'went with peril generation reduction instead of finesse and then got it first activation on the first carnival map'
WTF. I'm honestly shocked and how not garbage these are. 👀 
also goddamn melk finally decided to sell quality
Ooh first carnival map sounds like a good map to do it on.
i love waiting 5 minutes in place for an event in remnant
well i just didnt have any non-🧱 surge and wanted to finally rip out US4
The start of relay station is a good area to do this. Usually a horde spawns in these long halls.
I got it at 4% peril with battle med. Xd
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.
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
burster for the win
tried that
got 25
team jumped the rest
i had the fortune of looking around and not seeing a teammate anywhere in sight
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
doe's anyone know if psykers will have more than 4 staff to choose in the future?
I hope so. We've been hungry for new staves forever.
Left or right for penance?
It's up to you. I am noob so I use the longer duration.
Cool that's what I was leaning towards
It'd not take the middle node too.
Save you a point.
The toughness regen up top should be plenty.
middle is quell peril no?
Its quell, not toughness
but yea, dont need it
Okay I mistook it for ep.
I guess if you want free quell.
I don't think it's good though. 
also with new disrupt destiny, left side is basically cooked
Yeah I was scratching my head how to get it
Still tho, it's a chance on IF you kill the DD target.
That extra point let me get it
What do I do with this?
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
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. 
just for fun i reckon
can tac axes even trigger it reliably
alright, time to update all mods
Gun Psyker
yep, disrupt destiny high finesse damage on a crit weapon
i'd use a knife instead tho
Vortex now supports darktide?
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
Ah shit I forgot I had this lmao
Always take bm with axes.
headtaker to Bm
Big head chop.
Using anything but force swords as psyker is heresy
I dont have BM 😦
get 1
But again combat axe is so freaking slow on psyker.
even a t1 bm is sufficient
I can't use it. 
t1 really7?
yea
trust me the weakspot dmg is negligeble
if i spelt it correctly
which i doubt
^
thanks

well good for u then
and that's heavy atk numbers
u dont really heavy atk with combat axe unless its on ogryns or maulers
or monstrosities
No, those were the light attacks.
oh is it? mb
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
its basically the same, nothing really fell off
Alright cool
I just get bored of using this all the time
DD stands for
disrupt destiny
Interesting
Cooked good or bad
left side extra stacks disrupt destiny is not even usable anymore
cooked bad
like u got your ass cooked kinda cooked
how so
4 seconds per stack fall off is very fast
Good thing I never used it to begin with
3 stacks per blue man headshot kill though
so i tried running disrupt destiny on left side tree to do the penance of maintaining 15 stacks or more for 1800 seconds
throughout the entire mission i only maintained 15 stacks of disrupt destiny for 4 seconds
But each stack was only lacking like 2 seconds
with extended duration however, i basically maintain 15 stacks the entire game
so left side is just cooked imo
I think it was a UI bug though, because I still made progress towards the penance
that's a bug that doesnt show actual disrupt destiny stacks
the 2 second dd stack is actually movement speed from killing a marked target
the actual dd stack is not shown due to bug, and will only start showing when u lose all stacks and restack them
gud game
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
I think maybe the folding shovels came out after that? For veteran and ogryn though
On the other hand they fall off one at a time now. I feel like it's more usable than it used to be, but still potentially too impractical.
No, with them
Idk, I see some people say it's good now, but I saw nobody say it was good before
but I haven't tried either
Ok, no new weapons yet then I think
What significant talent changes happened to psyker?
also HOLY FUCK amount of penances completed the moment i logged in
Disrupt Destiny minor rework (now falls off one stack at a time, max duration is 4s base with mutually exclusive options to either extend to 10s or to go up to 25 stacks), EP smite buffed from +125% to +200%
Scrier's Gaze now affected by Warp Siphon CDR
scrier's gaze now cools down while active
Did I miss anything?
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.
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
The animation for the heavy 1 on DS 2 and 4 is the same, but they have different damage for SOME reason. 
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
those are pretty good
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.
i did mention that too, if u'd read everything i said
falling off one at a time is a good change, but 4 seconds is too fast, that's my opinion
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.
is it just me or is knife 6 just better than knife 3
It may depend on how comfortable you are with each blade’s moveset
Bro the past like 5 hours have had monsterous specials in auric maelstrom
is there some event going on
I like Mk6 more, but that’s only a subjective take
perhaps it is a comfort thing
It is, yeah
the only thing that differs is the hitbox/animation
Both knives gud. I prefer mk3 on zealot but mk6 on psyker and vet.
i vastly prefer 6 on zealot
Do the horizontal swings have any real cleave
hello, im new and just hit level 10 and was looking for some talent point assistance
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.
don't worry too much, just aim for the big nodes every 1/3rd way down the tree
you can reset infinite number of times for free
The heavies 1/2 on Mk6 that is?
and make 5 loadouts to save
i just don't know what weapons to use either or which magic's better between smite and head explode
First game after more than 6 months of break
it doesn't really matter till level 30
What do you think of smite with EP now? @near wyvern
i dont know what i like 
(EP smite was always good, now it's even better)
Do you know what you don’t like, then?
Does any weapon feel particularly garbage to you?
semi automatic weapons are not my favorite
(I have a lot of weapon takes such as these
)
Actually no, before there was a very good argument that battery just overperformed EP in just about every way with smite
What was the argument, though?
also does it matter what order i do the missions in? is there a story mode?
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 
The "story" is in the cutscenes, it doesn't matter which order you play the missions in
There is no story basically
so these special assignments dont matter?
story is some nerds fell to chaos in atoma and now you have to kill them
Technically there is a story, but it’s not told very directly
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
Many items and descriptions of such tell some story through text, essentially
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
Kill heretics, eat rashuns, simple as.
Lore is story are different things
Yeah, sometimes what the vox casters are saying is relevant, beyond typical banter that is
imagine storming a big compound with 2 other teams
I SPOTTED A HERETIC
YOU DID NOT MENTION LOVE THE EMPERAH
each team destroys stuff to make raiding for the other teams easier

what a concept
I hope my beloved forgives me
This sounds like an optimisation problem that FS is not equipped to deal with 
8 PLAYER COOP VS 8K ENEMIES
Indeed 
ALL ELITES AND SPECIALISTS
My only crashes are a result of going into inventory
Inventory after ANY mission - that’s a crash
when should i use smite vs my magic stick
all they have to do is replace the inventory 3d models with jpgs
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 
its not that hard just add an option to switch out inventory models to the ones used in brunts
I don’t know how it works, albeit items being 3D renders is probably the major reason for why the inventory on my end is unstable
Imo smite is best used if your team gets overwhelmed and you need to "pause" the fight for a few seconds, also good against a lot of heavily armored targets, like maulers and crushers
they wanted to display all the different ass skins in the inventory which imo is a waste
which magic stick
Don't smite a few small poxwalkers, just hit them
Smite can do hordle clear with EP, and can do crowd control in any situation
It makes inventory management slightly more bearable, but then I really, really couldn’t manage my inventory well enough, had it not been through mods 
Yep horde clear yep
Surely... just horde clear....
im not sure how to tell you mid strike
No wonder telopots just spams it
Inventory management is not a thing without mods
is it ever worth it to charge smite
There’s no good reason to not abuse the push attack, it deals heavy attack damage and has the same cleave
Do you mean is it ever worth it to right click?
takes too long without ult
Yes, it's how you use it most of the time
It's never worth it to left click lmao
what
If you use smite without flaming shriek... breh
8 seconds to kill a theretical 50+ ragers and all equal/weaker elites is wild.
If you use flaming shriek then there is 0 reason to take EP?
its a stick with a book on top lol idk what its called
Uh oh, someone here disagreed with that a few weeks ago
Left click with Smite - maybe if you want to drop a dog off somebody 
Imagine being able to read
taking a rager 100-0 in a single cast there is 0 reason to use EP

STOP

theres literally no menu for it in mission 
thats right bitch


Does it shoot a flame, lightning, a bowling ball or an explosion on the ground?

there is some tricks with lmb smite
why are you typing while in mission you god damned heretic
it's instant and only requires 1 tick to knock things around
green fire and charged lightning
because your mother is an ork
but you won't be able to do that, if you are CCed...
Im already there tho
Aha! Gotchya, orcs have no mothers
look at this heretic spelling ork wrong
Also having girl name and girl profile picture is cringe
Doubly cringe if it is from a gacha game
i win the argument
Utility of bubble shield is too spicy
imagine not having shield wall
imagine typing in discord while letting your team die
supeiror to bubble incels
definitely worse than uploading memes to discord while letting your team die
What if they are a girl 
This you?
then they are lost
I play mostly support/tank builds. Like the smite Psyker+shield to stagger the enemies and the tank ogryn to pull aggro and hold them on me. So my damage output ist not my priority. I also like to play the Zealot to on support with chorus ability. But damn out of 3 people are to stupid to play their class in a efficent manner. Im so tired of thi...
Ill fucking destroy you
at least shes human unlike you, xeno loving non human dwarf creature
dbl shield wall only purpose is to giga steroid brain rupture
Oh man, I just realized why EP smite got a completely unneeded buff. It's cause of all the shield users.
Can I even make fun of them anymore?
"i play mostly support/tank builds" what am i reading

This is satire, right?
This is steam.
Mainly yea
no i mean smite as a cc was fine it was just everyone else crying about it that got it changed
ah, malice player
99% of it is bait and rage 
i understand now
rEddIt0r
If you think that's even remotely close to the worst thing in the steam dicussion forum, you are in a for a ride
Take a journey
Have a sip.
Nah, I'm good
Well, later in the discussion they mentioned that they are playing Damnation+
The dicussion forums during the EP bug for Surge were by far the worst I've seen it
i just wanna do space magic
No-I-don't-think-I-will.gif
So, good, or bad 

No, they are not, i am sure of it
smite players when i send a electric shock directly to their pacemaker killing them
"EP Surge is perfectly balanced"
Suddenly a electricity arcing isn't good????
"Surge is useless without the EP bug"
I wish I saved some, I never thought to.
It was top tier 
i mean... they're probably there
YOu can't, I AM INVINCIBLE in the bubble
I think I will move into aurics though, it's nice to play with people who know what they are doing, maybe I too will know what to do one day
gosh if only samone had diagrams of smite and how far it arcs to other enemys
Filthy exploiters 
Who would have something like that
it was funny, yeah

AtloserUndead
Fatsharking summoing 18 other psyker players the moment i select that charc
(all of them are dog shit)
i like class specific hate threads
They have to be matching classes together on purpose.
those are the best ones
People complaining about how Ogryn is too squishy
Like you should never die unless you get disabled on Ogryn
It just shouldn't happen
Three psykers and one ogryn is very comfy, or a total shit show 
Ogryn should not have literally his one weakness and just never die
was that a real thing that a person said
3 psykers and One Og is literally the only time it's okay to block with a shield
That was the general attitude of most of the forum
squishy???
Yes
ogryn??
I'm talking peak popularity post patch 13 times they said Ogryn were too squishy
And most people seemed to agree
"tankiest thing in the known universe labelled "too squishy", more news at 8"
three ogryns one cap one psyker
no that has to be a shitshow
3 psykers bad
wonder if average vet player just picked ogryn and decided that or what
4 psykers god
That works too, the more ogryns the better, just pray there is enough ammo on the map, because dear emperor do they use a lot of it as gunlugger
It went surprisingly well
you could also use less and engage in melee
should i ever melee or just stick to using my stick
I could, but I want to shoot and shoot (farming the penance)
depends on how good ur awareness is
Melee for me is largely mutant killing, movement tech, and blocking.
Depending on build it might be my horde clear though
Depends on your build
If you see a group of shooters it's usually better to dive in with melee to tie them up
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
and try different weapons
head explode feels useless
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 
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.
poxbursters, auto handled, dogs, stunned, trappers, stunned, mutants, stunned
revive lmao
That's funny, I guess it is technically "jail"
I've never heard someone say that though
you are hogtied i g
i suggest staying away from fire and killing things that would set you on fire
make sure u are dodging
best advice tbh
how do i dodge
You just do easy
wolf has gone into police custody
think default bind is shift idk
o i figured out the staff name

its a surge force staff
First unbind dodge from jump 
i failed the emperor again 
Based only real ones face tank all damage
bro forgot the advanced training 💀
and clearly have not played vermintide
suckin at something is the first step towards bein sorta good at somethin
I skipped advanced training and I turned out fine 
no, let him play Ogryn
wait if mutants are bad why are ofryn ok
after the new patch which staff do yall think is the best?
^
Bruh you take that back
All staves are S tier weapons, with rending Trauma and Purg being in A+ tier.
Purg is fucking pog
so is voidstrike still the best all a rounder? thats what the guide i was sent earlier says
i personally find void too slow
If you can headshot reliably.
think staff is mostly preference
^
Staves have big varience in skill floor and ceiling too, so it's never 100% clear which is actually that much better.
It also depends on your teamcomp too tbh
fair
Correction, Purg is still last place though
my duo is a veteran
Fair
do psychos ever use guns
but Purg is pog at horde control, and if you have teammates not running a ton of horde control its pog
Guns are better for leveling
You and me both. Though, Void with SG makes it spicy.
And guns have some high DPS builds at max level
Well, Trauma is bad, we can agree on that right? Please buff 
gun is strong but idk if it's straight up better than psyker specific stuff
Rarely but it can be really good. Gun/Dueling sword psycher melts bosses
anyone have recommended talent trees? i like hitting lots of things at once
If it wasn't for columunus, I would categorically say staves are better.
like im level 11 so im still new but shooting lightning is sooo fun
Good news, surge staff and smite both stay strong 🙂
I get to use this, ha!
Surge at low level is pretty decent.
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?
it depends
Love surge.
if u hear a giant scream of incoming horde and ur team is still jerking it in 4 corners crossmap you're gonna have a bad time
It me. I fall behind. I end up running in actual circles sometimes. People skipping loot. 🥲
Knife zealot mentality 
how do use assail shard? i used them for a few rounds but i liked the lightning more for hordes
What's up with this other psycho in my party always shouting about his beloved?
Oh that’s the Seer Psyker voice, don’t mind them 
i have a pretty deep rooted dislike of people running knife too
if i see lacerate on it, even more
You throw them at the enemy, they kill basically everything in low difficulties, a lot more versatile than smite, imo
i put lacerate on my knife
Assail is universal tool against anything that is not carapace
lacerate is just straight up inferior in every way to flesh tearer
Valid
Also shards follow cursor for a couple of hitys
so be sure to wiggle aim around to hit as many targets as you can
but this is mostly just caused by dogshit knife players I think lol
whats considered low difficulties? we are running difficulty 3s so would that be low?
oooh
Knife users fall into three camps I find
o i picked a french girl@sounding one
arseholes playing single player in a co-op game
yes
I'm like this in real life. It wasn't my mom's fault when I went missing at Disneyland as a kid. Even now, good luck keeping an eye on me at the grocery store. 🙃
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 )
Literally don't exist
because knife is bad supporting tool
I have seen it.
see, i get annoyed because even people who are really good with knife
they'd be even better with a more well rounded weapon
you know they have other things except knife too
usually stealth
also bad supporting tool
idk why i struggled a lot with the assail shards but i did so well with the lightning
Yes, enemies have less health so assail annihilates them, in higher difficulties it's still good at horde clear, but not as OP anymore
idk, gets revives that are otherwise impossible
Diff 3 does not matter
pretty good
until you are level 30, use whatever
fwiw ressing people inside a fat ass horde is usually not the best
Talents and weapons affect everytihng a lot
ohhh
but yeah u can get big saves with it
better than not ressing them
also whats soulblaze how do i use it
With some other ult you might not let situation come to impossible revives
what soul b laze
There are several sources of it
i use loner and stealth on my zealot but play just like a chastise zealot
Mouse over what you want to hit to guide the shards. These can interrupt shooters. The aiming one, with a halo, does more damage.
Soulblaze is a condition which you can put on enemies with a few different sources
it's a stacking DoT you can put on targets
There are good soruces and bad sources of it
Good sources are Purgatus, Blazing Spirit Trauma weapons, and Perilous Combustion, Creeping Flames talents.
some people cannot be helped, however
What sources are they?
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)
Trauma bad though, AgentChaos said so
AgentChaos is doing a trole.
i am going to play blazing surge voidstrike
as the kids say.
buff pls
Buff radius please 
transfer peril blazing spirit SG void
Turn Trauma into the Locate City nuke
whats this knife people keep talking about
pls no
Combat Blade is its real name
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.
BOth are NOT usable on psyker
this zealot takes the VI
False lmao.
IF you want to be a dead weight to the team go ahead
usable but outclassed by psyker weapons
Why take knife, if I can take big fancy sword
TIL Pygex is dead weight
and since there are so many psyker builds that barely use their melee

knife is perfectly fine
i am not a fan of these builds
join the illisi faction
embrace magically-enhanced melee
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.
i used to think knife was dead weight too
mostly because of the knife zealots i got in qp
The good news is that clown makeup washes off :)
then i saw like 1-2 that worked miracles with knife
but yeah, elevator rushers give knives a bad name
and i thought "alright maybe there is something to this"
those people can just fucking rot in nurgle's septic tank
it was a lacerate uncanny enjoyer
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.
0 chance a knife zealot is gonna have issues keeping scourge up the entire game even with no bleed blessing
I guess maybe if you're not good at reliably hitting weakspots too it's not bad
i kinda like it
it is very keystone-agnostic
i still end up running bp with it but still
CDR is too important, blazing piety is gonna be the best keystone in most cases until/unless crit CDR gets adjusted down
martyrdom kinda goated
25% crit for existing is crazy
piety as a 1 pt investment is sick, 3 points meh
Hm, fair point
I haven't tried to fuck with 1 point BP
zealot has by far the best value nodes out of pretty much all class trees
faster trigger and faster upkeep
10 crit for 2 points is kinda shit
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
yea i mean, it's not bad... it's just meh
pretty epic with laspistol
okay maybe i should just make an infernus dum-dum laspistol
i finally didnt get put in jail its a miracle, praise emperor
Blazing Piety third point is basically the same economy but with some kind of extra bonus that I forget what it is lol
which is completely useless since allies can proc piety
i am not going to depend on that
well ofc, but you'll never not have piety up, even with 1 pt investment
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
hey is this a good build for fire sword? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ac0ca79-94d5-4ba5-8f12-a627e150eabe/briggsos-void-bowler
looking for a good fire sword build
but for my knife pervert I want to keep it
Well, got some bad news for you lol
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
there isn't one
ur mostly gonna be focusing on single target so piety will naturally be harder to keep up
I usually take a horde clear ranged on my knife pervert
fire sword not good
kantrael shotgun or flamer
But it is not fire sword...
Meleeing crowds is mostly just for CDR and survival
words cannot describe how little i like this build
i hate every single thing about it
It's perfectly shit yeah lol
awe but fire sword is fun
kinetic flayer
What build
battle med over perilous combustion
idk im just trying to find a build to run
yet no kinetic resonance
guys im just asking
toughness curios yet skipping toughness nodes
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
if by fire you mean force it is good
well instead of doing that please can i just find a build or something idk whats good or not
if you mean soulblaze crit swords it is bad
not fire sword force sword
so you can critique your own builds going forwards
Ah, ok!
Force swords generally are great
my bad
Deimos and Illisi at least, fuck obscurus
You're using voidstrike so you can pick either Deimos or Illisi really
i dont have IIIisi yet i still have deimos but eah
gee, people nowdays crying if you say "not good" to them
well they just have voidstrike there
Ah - ok, so one first point
illi is for horde clear
On psyker, your ranged weapon defines you
im just trying to find a build chill out
Deimos is for single target
so you pick a melee weapon to go with your ranged
here's one of my builds https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b782f2a-2bd2-49ac-abd8-0235e80bae51/surge-ds4-vent-psyker
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
Dueling sword with surge?
Just why
assail is for horde
I wouldn't use Illisi with Purgatus for example
i have deimos mk IV
So, with a Deimos, I would recommend either a Purgatus, a Trauma or a Voidstrike build
have assail and shriek for horde clear, never really gonna get overrun with that build
by which he means perks
oh
and then your talent build will depend on which of those you want to take
but still, why have dueling sword
better for movement than force swords
(I use Illisi with Voidstrike personally, but Deimos works too)
In your defense, it's a blaze force sword.
But yeah, fire sword is a specific build that is memes.
Duelling Sword isn't bad for horde clear, surprisingly. Although it helps a lot when it gets boosted by DD and SG
duelling sword is unironically used mostly for special attack in that build
DS is the best for crusher and rager killing
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
what is purgatus?
Purgatus is the flamethrower staff
Relatively easy to build since it only has 2 important modifiers on it, and only 1 essential blessing and 1 essential perk
I truly wish fire sword wasn't bad.
relatively easy to play with too
Fire sword is a lot more fun than it is good, sadly 
could probably make it work if wildfire wasn't as bad as it was
haha atm i only have this
Wildfire is niche af.

ive been playing zealot but im so done with zealot
so, staves you have right now are trauma and surge
and both of them will be kinda shit until you hit higher levels really
I want my exorcist + blazing spirit illisi with SG dream to come true. It's so meh tho.
surge probably more usable than trauma
can you guide them after i throw them or just before?
trauma feels so bad without blessings
After. Throw and guide.
what should i go for talent wise
I would recommend just slapping on an accatran laspistol, or a kantrael Ia infantry lasgun, or a Columnus Infantry Autogun
for a force sword
gotcha
oh thats good to know ty
at least for lower levels
Trauma will feel weird the first few games no matter what, aiming is very unique 
is psych the hardest class
Play with it in the meat grinder so you can reliably take down tougher enemies.
psyker is probably the most punishing class
Overall, arguably yes
idk about hardest
I think other classes have harder individual builds
High skill floor, moderately high skill ceiling imo.
ooh thats smart
Don't let a pox walker touch your shoulder. That shit will mess you up. lol
You have to have eyes in the back of your head
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9aa4955c-1f68-4247-88af-f537807e7d55/briggsos-spitfire-psyker-build is this good talent wise?
1 poxwalker = I sleep (absorbed entirely by toughness)
ultrawide monitor feels like cheating in this game
whats a combat ability?
2 bruisers = I'm fucking dead
the shriek?
so for psyker, Shriek or Shield or Scrier's
ok thanks
All 3 are great options in different contexts
(but if you go shriek, always take creeping flames or it's bad)
The red nodes of your talent tree are your abilities.
Face my incomparable wrath
Again he's taken Kinetic Flayer which is outright bad
