also I wouldn't combine Illisi force sword with Purgatus

#

they overlap their usecases entirely

sturdy oar
#

damn, any deimis talent trees here i can copy?

late yew
#

Don't judge balance until you are 30 btw

rigid sky
#

Kinetic Resonance is great, Kinetic Flayer is shit.

strong gulch
#

even after 30 tbh

#

takes a moment to get gear

rigid sky
#

I'll link you my Purgatus and Trauma builds since they both use Deimos, give me a sec

late yew
sturdy oar
#

thanks

#

is smite better than brain rupture

rigid sky
late yew
#

No point in sharind builds like that

#

because they rely on being level 30

rigid sky
late yew
#

and having certain items and talents combos in mind

sturdy oar
rigid sky
#

If you want a good beginner build

#

take something with Assail

late yew
sturdy oar
#

no

late yew
#

and get Scoreboard mod

rigid sky
#

Brain Burst is really something that comes into its own more in damnation imo

marble crater
#

99% of the time Kinetic Flayer will hit a poxwalker whaaa

late yew
#

To see how you perform

sturdy oar
#

sorry, i just dont like making builds myself

#

id rather not, missions are like 30 mins long

late yew
sturdy oar
#

maybe if this was payday 2

#

but missions are way too long in this game for me to experiment

plucky flax
#

Just do what you want though.

#

Screw the haters.

sturdy oar
#

im fu cking asking for builds

#

and this dude is trying his hardest for me to not get said build

#

#

this is my purgatus

late yew
#

Some talents simply don't work well without more advanced talents

rigid sky
#

I left a blessing slot open on the deimos because it's subjective

sturdy oar
#

thx

strong gulch
late yew
#

Not even mentioning blessings

strong gulch
#

Getting hit with a ton of info when everything is new isn't always helpful.

sturdy oar
#

i suck at talent building haha all i wanted was to see a talent build ack

#

is brain rupture really the best?

marble crater
strong gulch
#

valid.

rigid sky
sturdy oar
#

i should make a shield build later for penances

rigid sky
#

It's good and it fills a niche for some weapons

#

I use it in 2 builds only, which coincidentally are the two I showed you

vestal fulcrum
late yew
#

BP is good with EP

rigid sky
#

In a vacuum, Smite and Assail are better imo.

late yew
#

can chain one-shot bunch of ragers

rigid sky
#

but sometimes your build really needs Brain Rupture

late yew
#

or gunners

vestal fulcrum
#

But it’s definitely not “best”. No Psyker blitz is “the” best

sturdy oar
#

should i pick assail or smite for deimos

rigid sky
#

and yeah, with EP it goes from being "niche" to "holy shit this is amazing"

frail pasture
#

assail is the weakest of the blitzes imo

rigid sky
frail pasture
#

id go smite

strong gulch
#

Best pretty subjective.

Brain burst, aka brain rupture, is reliable. It comes into its own with a dedicated build or to fill in gaps of a build.

rigid sky
#

but again, don't pick your blitz based on your melee

#

Pick it based on your ranged weapon

frail pasture
#

Well pick it based on the gaps in your build

rigid sky
#

if you're gonna take a gun, then smite and assail are both viable

sturdy oar
#

this a good start?

rigid sky
#

Assail edges over it if you take True Aim and Disrupt Destiny imo

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

Only thing I would say is, what warp attacks are you doing that'll get kills yet?

#

Smite is relatively low damage

#

so maybe soulstealer doesn't have a point for you yet

frail pasture
#

Smite is to CC whole packs of specials

#

It gets pog af in auric malestrom

rigid sky
#

Soulstealer is fantastic and should be on basically every build at 30

#

but you're not level 30 and you don't have the same suite of warp damage shit that we get

sturdy oar
#

i guess lightning storm then for now

#

instead

rigid sky
#

even level 30 gun psykers will use (a lot) more warp damage than you

strong gulch
#

For leveling, I'd go assail because you can actually kill things vs stunning them. Later in the talent tree, smite can be more aggressive instead of just crowd control.

rigid sky
#

If you go Assail, then keep Soulstealer

#

but Smite is mostly just for crowd control

#

at least, unless you take EP but that's a keystone you won't have a chance to take until much later

#

and talent respecs are free ofc

strong gulch
#

Most impart is to play what you like.

rigid sky
#

so no point in taking it into account yet

#

There's like a whole spectrum isn't there, from "pick the talents with the funniest looking icons" to "pick THE META or die"

frail pasture
rigid sky
#

Just try to pick something that at least makes sense

frail pasture
#

but overall almsot everything is good on psyker

rigid sky
#

like, don't take Wildfire if you don't have any sources of soulblaze etc

strong gulch
#

Also, smite can't crit. So taking crit depended node if you main smite won't help you.

idk what weapons are being used

sturdy oar
#

guess now just kill shit

marble crater
#

"Play what you like, unless you are actively trolling or grieving"

rigid sky
#

Everybody should do their own build analysis eventually

strong gulch
frail pasture
#

And talking about crit, Purg staff cant 'crit' in the sense it does more damage, its crits just apply an extra stack of soulblaze

rigid sky
#

Use a guide for getting started if you like

frail pasture
#

So crit damage does nothing for purg staff

rigid sky
sturdy oar
#

game keeps saying i have talents to spend but i dont

rigid sky
#

because of how it's calculated

frail pasture
rigid sky
#

Crit chance is great on purgatus though

rigid sky
frail pasture
#

Yeah it turns out ranged deflection is pogs

#

Who woulda thought

sturdy oar
#

where did i get this moebian cosmetic stuff

strong gulch
rigid sky
frail pasture
#

Bruh I just like soulblazing things

rigid sky
#

enjoy your tumours

frail pasture
#

I love purg staff too

#

the blue fire makes me happy

rigid sky
sturdy oar
marble crater
#

My favorite blaze trauma moment so far was someone in the team writing "blaze trauma, hell yeah" in the middle of burning a mixed horde

strong gulch
#

Noice.

#

I remember one time I was blaze trauma-ing and someone was yelling "YEAH!!! FIRE!!!" I think they were high af.

sturdy oar
#

it feels much better playing psyker than zealot

rigid sky
#

Love 'em all.

#

Love multiple ways of building all of them too

stuck sinew
#

Yeah I'd get bored if I just played one class

#

Though psyker does always feel like a power trip

rigid sky
#

It's so delightfully unstable

#

OK well fuck you for not embedding google

#

Heaven forbid I can just Google an image and link it here

#

Karkers.

stuck sinew
#

I usually copy/paste the image instead

marble crater
#

You are welcome

#

And I agree with that KEKW_ogryn

stuck sinew
#

But yeah when a game is going well you feel untouchable

marble crater
#

And then you take a sip of water and lose half your health from two poxwalkers

stuck sinew
#

Exactly whatthefuck_heresy

marble crater
#

I play all classes but psyker is definitely my favorite and most played

supple dock
marble crater
strong gulch
#

Alright. Got a freshly crafted terrible build to try out.

supple dock
#

is it uniquely terrible at least?

rigid sky
#

This is why I advocate for taking all the toughness regeneration nodes you can afford tbh

vestal fulcrum
#

I’m expecting the Disrupt Destiny with Smite kind of terrible whatthefuck_heresy

strong gulch
#

You know how blazing void is bad? That with tranfer peril and SG.

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

You want to have as few windows for when a melee hit can actually breach as ppssible

#

If you aren't at 100% toughness you are in the danger zone

supple dock
#

man a SINGLE stray hit and you're hitstunned

marble crater
supple dock
#

and you will lose 4/5ths of your hp

rigid sky
#

Which is a roundabout way of saying, Warp Replenishment is underrated.

supple dock
#

warp replenishment is amazing in a horde

#

Just heavy special and you're max

#

for illisi anyways, for purg its fire

#

etc etc

rigid sky
supple dock
#

oh. soulstealer

#

you right

rigid sky
#

Soulstealer is much better than warp replenishment

supple dock
#

yeeee okay

rigid sky
#

Higher priority to take

#

But warp replenishment does some work too

supple dock
#

yeah, just didn't know names. i do have all the good shit myself

rigid sky
#

I don't take it in every build (just due to point economy considerations), but it's one of the first luxury nodes I go to

#

If I can

plucky flax
frail pasture
#

I use three of those

supple dock
#

illisi is all im guilty of

rigid sky
#

I use all of those things but not at the same time.

sturdy oar
#

smite is so nice dude

#

just freezing a whole wave and letting the team kill them

#

especially when one dude is carrying an objective

marble crater
#

As you level up and get more options to deal with waves you will smite less and use it more for emergencies, because you can just kill the wave with your melee or staff instead

supple dock
#

Smite does deal kinda okay damage though

sturdy oar
#

its kinda nice early lvl tho

marble crater
#

That's why I said as you level up

sturdy oar
#

hey is there a yellow key node that is taken more than others or do people usually just use one, like how zealots only really use one

marble crater
#

Middle one for cooldown is used the most

sturdy oar
#

thought so

#

i might swap out shriek for shield for penances

marble crater
#

Right one on specific builds, left one for the penance

strong gulch
#

Welp. There were 2 purg psykers. So RIP my baby warpfire damage.

sturdy oar
#

what is warp damage anyway

vestal fulcrum
#

And soulblaze also

marble crater
#

hellraiser 2022 is fuckin weak wtf is this

#

but I haven't watched all of it yet, so we'll see if that holds

sturdy oar
#

hows this for assail?

vestal fulcrum
#

You probably don’t need Warp Expenditure

#

Otherwise it’s fine

sturdy oar
#

oki doke

#

is battle meditation bad?

vestal fulcrum
#

It’s relatively insignificant

#

It may be relevant on a Scrier’s Gaze ability based build

#

But otherwise it interferes with your typical Psyker peril loop

sturdy oar
#

cool

#

# sturdy oar is battle meditation bad?

There is only one real reason to take battle meditation, and that is extending your smite. And for that to be effective, you need to access the bottom of the tree, preferably max level, because smite does nothing on its own.

t3 lolll

#

best dueling sword?

#

mk IV?

quartz barn
#

mk4 for general use, mk5 if you're sophisticated

supple dock
#

mk4 is pretty much it

#

the mk5 H 1 is nice cause it's easier to aim lmao

quartz barn
#

you mostly want it for the dodge distance anyway

supple dock
#

yee, but the strikedowns

sturdy oar
#

so mk4 then

supple dock
#

good for everything but like mutant

#

anmd yeah mk4 is good

quartz barn
#

so it comes down to moveset pref

sturdy oar
#

huh...

quartz barn
#
  • you dont really melee a lot as psyker anyway lmao
supple dock
#

bullshit I get right in that shit

sturdy oar
#

same

slate oasis
#

I prefer mk4. the heavy poke attack hits like a truck

mental grail
#

I pounce into melee as a psyker

quartz barn
#

wait heavy poke is mk5

mental grail
#

Best way to save ammo as a gunker

quartz barn
#

mk4 is downward slash

mental grail
sturdy oar
#

so neither is best

mental grail
slate oasis
#

opposite. 4 is the poke moveset, 5 is the slash moveset

mental grail
quartz barn
#

thats the special.....

#

not the heavy

sturdy oar
#

im assuming mk2 is bad

quartz barn
#

also if you wanna tech you can charge heavy into special

marble crater
#

I have yet to see a strikedown on the mk4, it's all pokes

quartz barn
#

special to cancel the heavy recovery

yeah the mk4 heavy and special are both pokes

I remember it killing enemies and not just stun locking them.

vestal fulcrum
jovial juniper
#

Right!?!?

hidden gorge
#

Very effective against hordes though.

#

Im suprised it isnt used often as it makes the psyker great at crowd control.

jovial juniper
#

That's funny, I've seen it being used frequently before the buff

marble crater
#

It's not needed most of the time

jovial juniper
#

I guess online experiences shenanigans

slate oasis
#

there was a bug when it first got put in the game where you could channel it forever and actually kill stuff, but normally it's always done low damage

jovial juniper
#

The blaze shriek smite combo with EP might go hard

slate oasis
#

I find it's really handy for protecting people when rezzing or doing the hacking minigames, but otherwise I almost never use it

hidden gorge
marble crater
#

Yes, then it's great, but that's the exception rather than the rule

vestal fulcrum
hidden gorge
#

Its just a really good oh shit where getting swarmed and where spread out tool.

vestal fulcrum

Fighting incapacitated enemies is not very fun in my view

mental grail

I prefer killing my enemies personally

#

It's why I run assail and bb

I prefer sniping.

If only it has ironsights.

mental grail
#

I run gunker and it isn't available unfortunately

#

lucky veterans

hidden gorge
#

Speaking of veterans. a group of nothing but veterans is insanely fun.

#

Played with a group consisting of two plasma guns. one autogun and a lasgun.

#

Terrifyingly efficient combination

mental grail
#

Ammo wise?

hidden gorge
#

yup

#

plasma for anything heavy. lasgun for long range annoyances. autogun for everything else.

cosmic sigil
#

I did a 4 bolters (2 vets, 2 zealots) in elite resistance back in the days of og pinning fire... Well

#

It was brutally efficient

near wyvern
#

It's better but still not enough. You need Venting Shreik to get most out of it and cannot really use the LMB utility on the smite. You should get either huge boost in elite damage or a great reduction to smite peril cost while using an EP charge to make it worth it.

hidden gorge
cosmic sigil
#

True

hidden gorge
#

Its the same vein when you have a full on ogryn party and they all have stub guns.

#

I love playing ogryn

hidden gorge
#

Fun to play with two ogryns. Not as much when your the only ogryn.

jovial juniper

One shovelling Crushers is fun

Its why I struggle with the psyker so much. Its kinda like the only support class.

#

If you get what i mean.

jovial juniper
#

I don't get the "worse" part but sure

#

Is it the size?

small valve
#

Ogryn is made to soak up fire and keep others alive

hidden gorge
#

Its the size redem.

#

You get hit easily and if you dont build around that it can get difficult

small valve
#

Really wish Ogryn didn't take as much slowdown from getting shot

dusk void
#

I feel like the psyker class is the hardest class to master. It’s my main class but I still have slight problems with it

small valve
#

I'd disagree, I think psyker is pretty easy to master

dusk void
#

“Just don’t get hit” - big tip when playing psyker. Also peril management is key

#

But I do love the many passive toughness regenerations that the psyker has

narrow herald
#

Psyker is easy if you realize that all you need to do is just CC everything

dusk void

I have about 400+ hours into the game. I can do a standard damnation mission, but not an auric damnation mission

#

I feel like a noob compared to everyone else here

People who play a lot or are more serious about the game will naturally be more likely to be active in the discord

I'm surprised you find groups for auric heresy, I would expect people to go from damnation to auric damnation, auric heresy feels like a weird in between difficulty loregryn

Needless to say, auric heresy is my comfort playing difficulty with the HISTG modifier

If that's your comfort difficulty then you don't have a reason to feel like a noob heh

malice is so comfy

#

i can just walk up to shotgunners

#

do melee 24/7

and never lose more than 40hp all game

does enfeeble also boost the smites damage itself? or does it just boost team damage only

potent echo

both

upper sun
#

it should yeah

subtle swift
#

yeah wasnt sure haha

marble crater
#

Now you can deal 11 damage per tick, instead of 10 KEKW_ogryn

upper sun
#

hell yeah

subtle swift
#

i was thinking of stacking that on emp smite which is 200% now so 210

unless you take EP

upper sun

more number = more better we all know that

rigid sky

Not better than staves overall

#

Just saying that getting DD/SG boosts gunker by a huge amount too

#

At that point staves are mostly getting their extra max level power from modifiers and blessings compared with talent points

Though the inherent less usage of ammo is generally a pretty big boon to the team

i got the EP one by playing malice shock troop and brain bursting enemies in melee range

also the satalite map in archivum something is perfect for that shit if you have a team that is willing to let you farm elites

I got the gun right after i hit level 30 after freshly downloading the game... and me being a newbie who didnt know any better, thought unarmored was the best perk in the game because "hey, that guy doesnt look like he's wearing armor".

supple dock
#

now is illisi, though I don't know what perks to put on it

upper sun
#

most psykers stop rolling right before they get their god roll surge

supple dock
upper sun
#

i was smart enough to not buy any weapons when levelling or collect any plasteel

#

this way i never ruined anything except the emperor gifts i insta sold without checking

supple dock
#

pretty much the same, but it's not like I had a real choice in the matter early on

upper sun
#

i have about 100 hours on malice with a recon

rotund fable
#

... well then... this is indeed a mission reward...

upper sun
#

not bad

supple dock
#

that one can work

rotund fable
#

barrage to surge and infested to... whatever...?

upper sun
#

ye

rotund fable
#

carapace maybe?

#

or perhaps crit chance for more surge spamming

upper sun
#

yeah id go crit too

#

also

#

anyone test the void boss stagger now?

supple dock
#

no, but isn't it still on a headweakspotshot crit?

rotund fable
#

Melk... you are being suspiciously accomodating of what i am trying to find... are you planning something?

upper sun
#

ayo

sturdy oar
#

hey do yall have a talent build for illisi?

rotund fable
#

More or less just swapping out both perks for the melk staff i presume?

supple dock
#

So if you're running illisi you have the staff options of mostly void and surge

#

You don't build for just one weapon, you build it for a general playstyle AND weapon choices, both of them at once

sturdy oar
#

im levelling with gun for now since staff feels weak while levelling

#

heres what i have

upper sun
#

id use assail for levelling its kinda better than most low level guns

supple dock
#

Assail is great, Smite's augmentations are useless

sturdy oar
#

ah alright thx

supple dock
#

so if running smite don't take augments, but you already have illisi so you won't really need smite to cc hordes

#

assail is just another way to deal with medium level threats and below at a mid range

sturdy oar
supple dock
#

I would take..

#

maleific momentum if you're using gun

#

Mind in Motion is fucking useless because you can just dodge slide forward then quell to keep your movespeed

#

unless you need it for a specific node

#

in which case that just sucks and you gotta deal with it

sturdy oar
#

well i kinda need mind in motion to get to seers presence

supple dock
#

I think instead of empathic evasion take soulstealer?

marble crater
#

The build is good, that one specific talent, is not KEKW_ogryn

cunning plinth
#

hi, just came back to the game again

supple dock
cunning plinth
#

why do people say that DD is insane now, and do you still only run it basically with gunker and void staff?

supple dock
#

easy access to specific targets

#

Also headshots

marble crater
#

Also stacks drop one by one now

cunning plinth
#

ok, but because its mostly for precision damage you would still only ruin this with a gun or with voidstaff right?

#

or did that change

rigid sky
#

like it's not like gun psyker at 30 isn't a massive step up from low level gun psyker

supple dock
#

isn't lingering influence broken?

rigid sky
#

It's weakspot and crit damage mostly, you want weapons that use both well.

#

which means some guns, and voidstrike.

supple dock
#

the 4s > 10s buff

upper galleon
rigid sky
cunning plinth
supple dock
#

aah right

#

I've only heard people comnplain and ask so yeah

cunning plinth
#

somehow i always found gunker relatively annoying to play

rigid sky
#

it helps with ammo efficiency on guns

#

voidstrike it's more optional but I'd still take assail because it's good at hitting enemies that are moving

cunning plinth
rigid sky
#

since voidstrike can be difficult to tag laterally moving targets

cunning plinth
#

they didnt change that right

near drift
rigid sky
cunning plinth
supple dock
rigid sky
#

gun psyker is set apart from other gun builds by being monstrously powerful with all your multipliers you can stack to the sky

#

and scrier's gaze is a big part of that

#

but some people go shriek with it

supple dock
#

have a fully functioning weapon without warp powers

#

take shriek

cunning plinth
#

ok, shame, i dont hate bowling staff but its a bit annoying to play compared to the others imo, not because i cant hit stuff, but because im lazy and predicting laterally moving basic dregs that would give me a stack crosses the line

rigid sky
#

or use an illisi to charge up

sturdy oar
rigid sky
cunning plinth
supple dock
rigid sky
#

and then see how much gaze helps there too

#

Crowd dps is important too

supple dock
#

@sturdy oar So I'd suggest getting rid of empathic evasion and grabbing soulstealer, so when you're in a ranged fight you can pull out assail and get toughness back

plucky flax
cunning plinth
#

maybe i have an ammo economy aversion to unload the primary rifle into hordes

sturdy oar
supple dock
#

Interest plays a big role in learning

supple dock
#

o7 looks good

sturdy oar
#

or well this now

cunning plinth
#

did they actually nerf the columnus in the last 90 days or is it still god?

sturdy oar
#

should i get that node between the two there btw?

supple dock
#

what's it?

sturdy oar
#

toughness damage reduction

supple dock
#

Hmmm if you have extra spaces it'd be better to grab raw toughness

#

But this build doesn't run kinetic deflector which is kinda eugh

sturdy oar
#

where is kinetic deflector?

supple dock
#

on the tree to DD

sturdy oar
#

im gonna be asking about my build more and more as i level

#

i wont be following a build i think

rigid sky
supple dock
sturdy oar
supple dock
#

Of course

#

Ughhh fuck it I'll play

sturdy oar
#

damn...

rigid sky
#

There's not really such a thing as a best build in this game, somehow

supple dock
#

That's actually the lineup I used to beat hard mode twins 😄

sturdy oar
#

no but i mean get more knowledge

rigid sky
#

It's actually quite well balanced for how many choices there are

sturdy oar
#

so i can make a better build for myself

rigid sky
#

Yeah, that's what I mean

sturdy oar
#

thats why im asking yall

supple dock
rigid sky
#

Building from the ground up is actually a great approach here

supple dock
#

I think the other way is better

rigid sky
#

Just use our advice to avoid hidden pitfalls

supple dock
#

Because you're learning what other people say are good, and make judgements from there

rigid sky
#

And to make sure you aren't leaving any vulnerabilities or redundancies

supple dock
#

The reason I say that is because a lot of people can get really overwhelmed from all the choices tbh

rigid sky
#

And you aren't falling into the trap of selecting terrible blessings lol

rigid sky
supple dock
#

But yeah, if you have builds that you're following and you wanna learn about them feel free to ask @sturdy oar

rigid sky
#

It's zealot and veteran which are more awkward

supple dock
#

Yeah, at least the staves are straightforward

rigid sky
#

I mean, talent-wise

supple dock
#

aaah

#

yeah psyker is very interconnected

#

You can get anything from almost anywhere, and all your toughness regen is at the top which is wild

rigid sky
#

The biggest trap nodes we have really are Kinetic flayer and Solidity imo

supple dock
#

mind in motion too

rigid sky
#

Eh, kinda

supple dock
#

It's not hard to slide forward

rigid sky
#

That tends to be a travel node

supple dock
#

like yeah I understand you're forced to get it

rigid sky
#

Rather than one taken with intention

supple dock
#

Doesn't mean it isn't ass

rigid sky
#

It is but I'm talking about outright trap nodes

supple dock
#

hmm. fair enough

rigid sky
#

Like I see people dip 4 points to get Solidity sometimes

supple dock
#

eesh

rigid sky
#

When Solidity is just a travel tax node to get to warp charges

#

Actually, inner tranquility is another one that's often a trap node

#

On the subject of warp charges

supple dock
#

Ooh yeah it is

#

The constant toughness from essence harvest is way too good to pass up

rigid sky
#

The more sources of toughness-go-up that you have, especially ones that activate at different times, the better

supple dock
#

No stipulations no stacking required just straight up toughness regen

sturdy oar
#

damn illisa sword is like evi it feels sooo good to use

#

way more fun than deimos

supple dock
#

It's actually nicer than the evi for crowds

#

esp with slaughterer

rigid sky
#

Presuming you mean the XV anyway

supple dock
#

The entirety of the psyker is: You have an answer for every enemy, every scenario, every moment, true. But you die. Fast. You get hit stun locked. Fast. One fuckup could mean you exploding or you going down to a handful of trash mobs

#

So you have to juggle enemies, allies (keep up slowpoke), the peril meter, and making sure every step of the way you aren't about to get smacked into 1/5th of your hp

rigid sky
#

Genuinely, one bruiser lovetap on damnation depletes your entire toughness bar lmao

#

fucking trash enemies

#

they're honestly more dangerous than ragers for me

supple dock
#

^

#

They're impossible to read

#

i'm embellishing but fuck that noise

sturdy oar
#

i meant mk2 evi

supple dock
#

Considering switching from a health curio to a +3 stam curio

#

so I'll be tough > tough > stam

#

I don't really care about health curios because if you get caught you shouldn't be alive anyways, best to prevent it from happening with the stam

rigid sky
sturdy oar
#

it has the same moveset as mk2

#

but illisi is like it, but faster and feels stronger

#

it feels like a zealot weapon

#

like a dclaw on crack

supple dock
#

So if you're gonna be playing high peril builds

#

Force swords are great at keeping your peril at a high level passively

cunning plinth
#

nvm, my DD is still bugged somehow

sturdy oar
#

its so fun

cunning plinth
#

i never get stacks, only the short movement burts

supple dock
#

Apparently it's working fine

#

Just the DD visuals are fucked

#

So it won't show the stacks on your bar but you still get them

sturdy oar
#

dd?

supple dock
#

Disrupt Destiny

#

Bottom right corner of the tree

cunning plinth
#

its weird that it only happens on the gunker build

#

if i use DD with voidstaff i still see it

#

one would imagine a display bug is easy to fix if its just that

supple dock
#

I don't have the answers, just parroting ¯_(ツ)_/¯

sturdy oar
#

so what are dagger builds like?

supple dock
#

Knife is used solely for mobility, with a decent way to kill medium threats, but mostly the mobility

sturdy oar
#

they good builds or nah

#

which knives are used

supple dock
#

They're...fine builds, they do fine

marble crater
#

Psyker usually doesn't use daggers

sturdy oar
#

what about those axes

supple dock
#

psyker normally uses ds4 or illisi/demios usually

#

The other weapons are for a change of pace mostly

sturdy oar
#

non meta fun basically

supple dock
#

mmhm

sturdy oar
#

thats valid tho tbh

#

dont need meta

supple dock
#

it is

#

I just enjoy the aspect of never not having an answer available to me

sturdy oar
#

could be worse, could be ogryn

#

tho i might pick up and learn ogryn later

marble crater
supple dock
#

in terms of raw damage application

marble crater
#

And not dying

supple dock
#

that too

sturdy oar
#

what staff is best for illisa?

supple dock
#

void, trauma, surge

sturdy oar
#

which blessings am i looking for on void

supple dock
rocky osprey
#

just saw this. one of y'all is a god

sturdy oar
#

damn mine has sustained fire

supple dock
supple dock
sturdy oar
#

havve have to grind th is one out

#

void trauma or surge... hmmm surge maybe

#

my surge has terryfying barriage

supple dock
#

you want warp nexus/flurry on surge

#

both

marble crater
#

As Kat would say, surge and illisi is comfy

supple dock
#

that's what i run. very very comfy

sturdy oar
#

my trauma has flurry FUCK

supple dock
#

trauma you want nexus and blazing spirit

sturdy oar
#

can i steal the flurry and put it on my surge or does it have to be the same weapon

marble crater
#

Don't worry about staff blessings until you are lvl 30

supple dock
#

^

#

Just roll with what you've got, the additions to your damage/utility aren't really felt without a proper talent setup anyways

marble crater
#

And no, the staves don't share blessings

plucky flax
#

Don't play trauma pre 30. When you hit 30 also don't play it. whatthefuck_heresy

supple dock
sturdy oar
#

i had to leave

marble crater
#

Why?

sturdy oar
#

3 fucking zealots SOB

marble crater
sturdy oar
#

i have zealot trauma

supple dock
#

All it means is that there's more pressure on you to deal with ranged

sturdy oar
#

its not balance wise

#

just... the players

plucky flax

you wouldnt get it

Pretty unhealthy habit but okie. whatthefuck_heresy

Why low level people are so red? Xd

Just be rich and wear premium skins since level 1. giga_chad

i used the dlc monies for skins did not help me play better

Dunno what you lil uns say but Ulgo wear Prison garb and am godlike

how tf you get the one where you push 7 off a cliff at once

I use a chainsword on my trauma staff build. Let's you get a rev attack on ogryns safely and easily after knocking them down

It's the Chasm Station assassination mission

the problem is my team killing them before i can tho

i got it done in one of the hourglass missions, at the docking bay area

not the blessings i want but

#

oh yeah i had a lemmings moment earlier, was up really high with a vet, he jumps off and goes down, and i think ILL SAVE YOU and jump off... and go down

tight plank
#

So someone once said blazing spirit is good on trauma, anyone care to explain why would it be even half decent?

#

vs warp flurry for example

plucky flax
#

It needs buffs for sure. whatthefuck_heresy

supple dock
#

hit lots of targets at once. lots of chance to crit, crits then propogate more damage

fluid aspen
#

Paired with Wildfire you got a pretty decent extra damage on hordes

marble crater
#

@tight plank this is the radius for the fire, picture courtesy of Atlus

supple dock
#

i know wildfire is like sleeper strong but fuck it's hard to like it

tight plank
#

i mean the crit chance on trauma isnt terribly high even with warp nexus, and if it does crit itll 1 shot horde mobs, and the extra dmg from the burn wont make a difference vs anyone else

rigid sky
#

The Blaze part applies way wider than any actual significant base damage

#

And it crits often enough tbh

plucky flax
#

20 from nexus, 7.5 base, 4-5 from perk, 5 from talent

rigid sky
#

5% aura, node and perk, then nexus

plucky flax
#

It's 1 in 3 shots.

#

No you use cdr aura.

#

Never use crit chance aura with blaze trauma creeping flames spam.

fluid aspen
plucky flax
#

Yeah some people use it for some reason. Always cdr aura.

#

It not only helps you but the entire team.

#

Shout vet loves ya.

#

2nd strongest aura in game after ammo aura.

#

RIP ammo aura nerf nooooo

marble crater
#

And we love vet shout

supple dock
#

I was gonna say is ammo aura still very usable with the 5s cooldown?

plucky flax
#

It's okay yeah.

#

But against muties train and dogs wave it's sad.

marble crater
#

Still better than the other auras vet has, imo

rigid sky
#

Kinda don't care about CDR for myself apart from psychinetic aura

tight plank
#

the burning wont kill them i mean

plucky flax
#

You lose so much damage using bubble with blaze trauma.

#

Might as well just use a different staff.

rigid sky
#

nah, you could say that about every staff though

upper sun
rigid sky
#

Empowered Psionics Brain Rupture covers the gap

plucky flax
#

No say with surge, you can spam it and it's fine. Auto aim and all. But blaze trauma is designed for 6 stack from blazing spirits + 6 from creeping flames.

marble crater
plucky flax
#

For the juicy 12 stacks.

rigid sky
#

and yeah, I know that also means no damage buff from warp siphon

upper galleon
#

people overvalue crit on purge, warp nexus is good because it's the 2nd best blessing for it. perk isn't worth it, and with nexus you already maintain the ranged fire avoidance talent pretty well

upper sun
tight plank
#

Like when this blaze crit happens, the nearby poxwalkers take ~35% of their hp as dmg, while warp flurry would let me get +20% more casts off, am i missing something?

#

and each of those extra casts will 1 shot a bunch of enemies / stagger them

upper sun
#

best way to think about warp siphon is more ults

fluid aspen
#

Warp Siphon can get in the bin, make the spending stacks a node isntead of forced Smadge

plucky flax
#

Blaze trauma confirmed bad. Pls only use rending and flurry. SadgeCry

rigid sky
#

that's why I don't take it with bubble

upper sun
fluid aspen
#

Does Brittleness only affect where you hit or the whole body?

upper sun
#

brittleness isnt even that good

plucky flax
supple dock
upper sun
#

errrrr

plucky flax
#

Maybe slightly more damage against ogryns.

fluid aspen
#

Isn't brittleness armor damage reduction reduction?

upper sun
#

i meant brittlness is ass

plucky flax
#

For maulers and ragers you 2 shots them anyway.

upper sun
#

rending is a lot more useful

supple dock
#

rending is just straight up damage right

plucky flax
#

Rending and britleness is the same. It's just brittleness is capped at 40%.

fluid aspen
#

Rending is armor dr ignore iirc

plucky flax
#

While rending is at 100%.

#

So that rending shockwave blessing, aka 40% brittleness, is hard capped at 40%.

#

Which means you don't do that crazy ass 100% rending from ds or knife.

supple dock
#

Oh it looks like brittleness and rending do the exact same thing? Wut

fluid aspen
plucky flax
#

Brittleness is enemy debuff. Rending is selfbuff.

#

But they both reduce armour so yes.

fluid aspen
upper sun
#

ye

#

but it doesnt reduce it as much

plucky flax
#

But like I said, brittleness only goes to 40%.

supple dock
#

enemy buffs suck ass anyways

plucky flax
#

So you do a bit more damage. Not ignore carapace armour completely.

supple dock
#

debuffs, w/e

upper sun
#

idk since its aoe maybe its more useful in a mission than meat grinder

plucky flax
#

It's ass. whatthefuck_heresy

tight plank
#

the node In Fire Reborn, does the enemy need to die to the soulblaze itself or does it count if they die while having the dot on?

plucky flax

Die with soulblaze effect on them.
