damn, any deimis talent trees here i can copy?
Don't judge balance until you are 30 btw
Kinetic Resonance is great, Kinetic Flayer is shit.
I'll link you my Purgatus and Trauma builds since they both use Deimos, give me a sec
may be flayer could be good on low diffs?
In the same sense as an empty talent point can be good in low diffs, sure
It Depends^tm
and having certain items and talents combos in mind
well id still like to have it :/
Honestly, just experiement
no
and get Scoreboard mod
Brain Burst is really something that comes into its own more in damnation imo
99% of the time Kinetic Flayer will hit a poxwalker 
To see how you perform
sorry, i just dont like making builds myself
id rather not, missions are like 30 mins long

maybe if this was payday 2
but missions are way too long in this game for me to experiment
im fu cking asking for builds
and this dude is trying his hardest for me to not get said build
jesus

and i am fuckn saying that builds are useless for you

He said he will link you builds though 

this is my purgatus
Some talents simply don't work well without more advanced talents
I left a blessing slot open on the deimos because it's subjective
thx
There is A LOT to get into. There is a a quide up in the pins called the atheneum. Though it is geared towards lvl 30, it has recommendations for weapon building and example builds.
Not even mentioning blessings
Getting hit with a ton of info when everything is new isn't always helpful.
i suck at talent building haha all i wanted was to see a talent build ack
is brain rupture really the best?
Smite, Purgatus, Illisi with DD and Sciers, here I go
valid.
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9be21d89-83bd-4242-a798-8fbe54e94f11 and this is my Trauma build
i should make a shield build later for penances
Tbh no
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
On some weapon setups, it’s a nice compliment in the department of killing specific mid-high health targets
BP is good with EP
In a vacuum, Smite and Assail are better imo.
can chain one-shot bunch of ragers
but sometimes your build really needs Brain Rupture
or gunners
But it’s definitely not “best”. No Psyker blitz is “the” best
should i pick assail or smite for deimos
and yeah, with EP it goes from being "niche" to "holy shit this is amazing"
assail is the weakest of the blitzes imo
You're gonna hate me for this, but it's up to you lmao
id go smite
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.
but again, don't pick your blitz based on your melee
Pick it based on your ranged weapon
Well pick it based on the gaps in your build
if you're gonna take a gun, then smite and assail are both viable
this a good start?
Assail edges over it if you take True Aim and Disrupt Destiny imo
IMO Smite if you’re using it alongside Venting Shriek ability, and Assail if you plan to pick up other skills to back up its damage 
Not bad, you haven't taken anything objectionable there
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
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
even level 30 gun psykers will use (a lot) more warp damage than you
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.
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
Most impart is to play what you like.
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"
Well there are some prety bad melee weapons
Just try to pick something that at least makes sense
but overall almsot everything is good on psyker
like, don't take Wildfire if you don't have any sources of soulblaze etc
Also, smite can't crit. So taking crit depended node if you main smite won't help you.
idk what weapons are being used
guess now just kill shit
"Play what you like, unless you are actively trolling or grieving"
and do try to at least think about what you're doing
Everybody should do their own build analysis eventually
what you like.
Even blazing spirit illisi. 😭
And talking about crit, Purg staff cant 'crit' in the sense it does more damage, its crits just apply an extra stack of soulblaze
Use a guide for getting started if you like
So crit damage does nothing for purg staff
Crit damage perk is worthless on everything honestly
game keeps saying i have talents to spend but i dont
because of how it's calculated
Ive done this, its not too awful lolol
Crit chance is great on purgatus though
Illisi's great even with only 1 blessing it turns out
where did i get this moebian cosmetic stuff
flame tickler
congrats, you're a scab now
Bruh I just like soulblazing things
enjoy your tumours
Blazing Spirit Trauma, man. It's like a drug.
huh
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
Noice.
I remember one time I was blaze trauma-ing and someone was yelling "YEAH!!! FIRE!!!" I think they were high af.
it feels much better playing psyker than zealot
Yes 
Man, picking my favourite Darktide class is honestly impossible for me.
Love 'em all.
Love multiple ways of building all of them too
Yeah I'd get bored if I just played one class
Though psyker does always feel like a power trip
It's so delightfully unstable
The very embodiment of this meme https://images.app.goo.gl/VQCBvFdtTvqqNY5v6
OK well fuck you for not embedding google
Heaven forbid I can just Google an image and link it here
Karkers.
I usually copy/paste the image instead
But yeah when a game is going well you feel untouchable
And then you take a sip of water and lose half your health from two poxwalkers
Exactly 
I play all classes but psyker is definitely my favorite and most played
got silent bombed by like 4 of them around a tight corner once

Or all of it from 2 bruisers
Alright. Got a freshly crafted terrible build to try out.
is it uniquely terrible at least?
This is why I advocate for taking all the toughness regeneration nodes you can afford tbh
I’m expecting the Disrupt Destiny with Smite kind of terrible 
You know how blazing void is bad? That with tranfer peril and SG.
Oh that sounds fun
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
man a SINGLE stray hit and you're hitstunned
I can afford two or three 
and you will lose 4/5ths of your hp
Which is a roundabout way of saying, Warp Replenishment is underrated.
warp replenishment is amazing in a horde
Just heavy special and you're max
for illisi anyways, for purg its fire
etc etc
It's the one that grants toughness when you gain peril, I think you are thinking of soulstealer maybe?
Soulstealer is much better than warp replenishment
yeeee okay
yeah, just didn't know names. i do have all the good shit myself
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
Best build
I use three of those
illisi is all im guilty of
I use all of those things but not at the same time.
smite is so nice dude
just freezing a whole wave and letting the team kill them
especially when one dude is carrying an objective
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
Smite does deal kinda okay damage though
its kinda nice early lvl tho
That's why I said as you level up
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
Middle one for cooldown is used the most
Right one on specific builds, left one for the penance
Welp. There were 2 purg psykers. So RIP my baby warpfire damage.
what is warp damage anyway
Any damage from your staves, blitzes and force sword special attacks
And soulblaze also
Magic 
Anything spooky.
hellraiser 2022 is fuckin weak wtf is this
but I haven't watched all of it yet, so we'll see if that holds
hows this for assail?
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
wtf
yeah no fucking clue
I somehow knew it was Hab Dreyko before I even looked at the top
lmaoo
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.
Was the zealot speed running? The only way to trigger double monstrosity at lower levels is to run through two triggers...
lmao, i unlocked the chest piece cosmetics at 4.5k penance points and the game crashes
a near clutch when everyone is near lvl 20?
no clue i joined as everyone died
yay i have a voidstrike now
is there an easy way to get cliffjumper
Could have been i ii veg
It CAN happen because boss triggers are generally clustered but I've never seen it happen on lower difficulty
mk4 for general use, mk5 if you're sophisticated
you mostly want it for the dodge distance anyway
yee, but the strikedowns
so mk4 then
so it comes down to moveset pref
huh...
- you dont really melee a lot as psyker anyway lmao
bullshit I get right in that shit
same
I prefer mk4. the heavy poke attack hits like a truck
I pounce into melee as a psyker
wait heavy poke is mk5
Best way to save ammo as a gunker
mk4 is downward slash
Yes.
so neither is best
opposite. 4 is the poke moveset, 5 is the slash moveset

im assuming mk2 is bad
also if you wanna tech you can charge heavy into special
I have yet to see a strikedown on the mk4, it's all pokes
special to cancel the heavy recovery
yeah the mk4 heavy and special are both pokes
ive only tried mk2
What weapon is this
soulstealer on dueling sword?
MK5 dueling sword
They don't have funny magic, so soulstealer wouldn't trigger on the sword
fair
So did i miss something or did the sith lighting ability get a nerf.
I remember it killing enemies and not just stun locking them.
It was only buffed recently to better facilitate its damage output with Empowered Psionics keystone. Why?
Right!?!?
I only recently started using it.
Very effective against hordes though.
Im suprised it isnt used often as it makes the psyker great at crowd control.
That's funny, I've seen it being used frequently before the buff
It's not needed most of the time
I guess online experiences shenanigans
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
The blaze shriek smite combo with EP might go hard
I find it's really handy for protecting people when rezzing or doing the hacking minigames, but otherwise I almost never use it
Its handy in a pinch when 5 shield bearing ogryns charge your group.
Yes, then it's great, but that's the exception rather than the rule
That's rare tbh
It’s a sleep inducing tool
Its just a really good oh shit where getting swarmed and where spread out tool.
Fighting incapacitated enemies is not very fun in my view
I prefer sniping.
Im one of the few people that uses the krieger lasgun.
The name of which i forgot.
Lucius
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
Ammo wise?
yup
plasma for anything heavy. lasgun for long range annoyances. autogun for everything else.
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
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.
People forget that standing in a firing line and shooting can work really well.
True
Its the same vein when you have a full on ogryn party and they all have stub guns.
pray
Even 2 lol
I love playing ogryn
Fun to play with two ogryns. Not as much when your the only ogryn.
One shovelling Crushers is fun
Its why I struggle with the psyker so much. Its kinda like the only support class.
Four ogryns... 
Hehehe the best
If you really think about it, any class can be a support
How good is the ogryn class? I haven’t played it in a hot minute
I mean yeah the zealot with a flamer and the praying aura ability is a perfect example.
Good damage output, good defensive capabilities. On par with zealot for last-minute rescues I'd say
I wouldn’t call my psyker a support psyker, I run trauma, shield, assial, chainsword, and EP with true aim and soulblaze
Good. Worst class out of all of them but fatshark did a great job at putting all the classes on par with each other
Fun to learn, even better to master
I might give the ogryn a try tonight
I mean ogryn is the worse class but its also the most fun one.
If you get what i mean.
Ogryn is made to soak up fire and keep others alive
Its the size redem.
You get hit easily and if you dont build around that it can get difficult
Really wish Ogryn didn't take as much slowdown from getting shot
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
I'd disagree, I think psyker is pretty easy to master
“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
Nah just be like the ones I pub with, use smite for everything 😎
Psyker is easy if you realize that all you need to do is just CC everything
I stopped using smite because I wanted to master the mechanics of the game, not be lazy and melt hordes. Although, will trauma and smite work well together with EP?
Smite is the most overestimated ability in the game
99% of people use it wrong
GUYS I CCED THE HORDE KILL IT
my brother and christ jud KILL THE HORDE
Trauma and smite cover the same roles, you should pick BB or assail instead
Trauma and smite is how I got this.

Did you happen to use venting shriek with it?
We love venting shriek
Venting shriek is love
What's hard then?
iunno I have trouble with being effective as vet
Equip shout and press f. Literally can't lose.
Yup, my trauma and sword also apply soul blaze on crit.
Bonus point for using p sword and p gun 
You’re making me feel like a noob with my psyker character. I mainly play on auric heresy but I guess I suck a lot 😂
Nah, you'll get there eventually. You just gotta fail a lot and learn from those times.
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
I'm sure most people can't do damnation
People who play a lot or are more serious about the game will naturally be more likely to be active in the discord
That's why I'm in sedition.

can they add something low int sedition?
Auric heresy feels like damnation, but with more awful spawns. That’s the reason why I play auric heresy
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 
It still is a weird transition between normal damnation to auric heresy. It’s more chaotic on auric heresy than it is on normal damnation. But I still find people getting downed on auric heresy and I’m the last one standing and need to clutch it for the mission
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 
hell yeah
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
both
ty
it should yeah
yeah wasnt sure haha
Now you can deal 11 damage per tick, instead of 10 
hell yeah
i was thinking of stacking that on emp smite which is 200% now so 210

Stonks
Why 
I will buy it in the hopes the crafting update let's us salvage things like this 
whats the dueling sword mk5s dump stat?
Defense
dueling sword + voidstrike?
can absolutely work but i personally much rather have something with better clear

but i dont have a good nomanus atm and dont have resources to make one so ill stick with my voidstrike
mb g
Guns are better while leveling, staves start to get good with higher levels and higher stats
But surge works I guess
voidstrike is fun
Surge and purgatus are probably the best to level with, that and guns but who plays space wizard to shoot
and then guns are even better once you hit 30 too lol
Right side psykers represent yo
I do
Except when I try harded my storm survivor
Define better
And we can talk
more number = more better we all know that
Better than guns as a pre-30 psyker
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
tbh
Yes, definitely better for levelling cause most staves are weapons of mass destruction and all of them get penalties with low stats
i think the game spawns ammo based on the weapons people bring
Doesn't seem to be the case
voices told me
Maybe it was just a dream
is there a trick for cliffjumper
Hanger. It’s cliffhanger. 
Lure horde enemies to ledge, stack some peril, Venting Shriek at them at an angle
someone did it on the ledge in the uhhh final section to oblivium something
desert levels during the scaffolding/higher housing sections
Levitate into the air and force push suckers out of the map.
It wouldn't be a cliffhanger question if I didn't post the video https://youtu.be/SiZp4X8YQww
This is the psyker penance where you have to knock some enemies off of a ledge. Did not expect to get it that easily. I guess the enemies jumped off on their own and my smite killed them while they were doing it.
tbh youll eventually get it with random play
Yeah, just use venting shriek and you will get it naturally
the only 2 that i never got were the BB 4 in a row and SG 40 kills ones so far
(i never play BB and SG)
Tru gazer bad
no i just refuse to aim
Got the BB one by being a pro
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
you get 4 shotgunners then 4 gunners on each side after the elevator arrives NON STOP
i was last one alive, it was so rough, plague ogryn bumped two off the bridge, the lvl 1 dude didnt know to revive them or me, they died i lived, then he went off a mile ahead and didnt fight the ogryn with me, he died to fucking normal basic mobs, and then i said fuck this and jumped off the bridge lol...
EP smite, pox hound waves 
i refuse to play hounds without purge or smite 
brunt sold me THIS wonderful thing...
malice behaviors
sedation
Turret gameplay
no uprising my bad
i did uprising cause i was almost lvl 15 and wanted something quick to get me there so i can get Illinis sword but no haha
lmfao
its okay levelling in this game is hell
illisi my beloved
illisi my bad
its why ive yet to make an ogryn at 750 hours lmfao
Hadron turned it into this...
like i dont care about the no talents as much as being forced to use weapons with 10% damage
mom said no dclaw
isnt the best devils claw the mk4 one
yeah with psyker its especially rough, staves suck at low levels
idk if dclaws are the same for every class, thats my zealot knowledge
dclaws are the same yeah
yeah i read mk 4 was the best
Shared weapons are all the same
i only really tried mk4 it was nice
i havent used a dclaw since i was leveling up my zealot lmfao
on psyker?
on purge staff
keystoneless can work on vet but psyker i dont really know
i tried playing EP and then i realized i'm not using brain burst 
EP is just really good all around
it makes BB actually good
but even with smite n assail its good
TRUE AIM PURGE YES
nah it doesnt hit weak spots it goes center mass
application does crit though
ye
right, It does not proc weakspot

ye center mass thats why flak goes in all fields
ideal purge would be flak 4 with flak 4 and two nexus blessings
Eh, I run with this purg... it's very fun.
No nexus. 
no nexus, otherwise fine
ye nexus is kinda more important on purge
sibling pls leave
You can run with it, but nexus is still better than flurry.
It is, yes... but this is more fun for lower difficulty games
hence why the changable perk is flurry
most of my higher difficulty games have me rocking this staff
did u let skudie mod ur weapons?
LMAO
Mine is better
I'm not laughing at the staff don't worry, but nexus is generally more important
I made it before i knew all that about modifying weapons, and just havent rolled a staff with better stats sadly.
this took me 14 attemps
this weapon is in the same boat, where i made it before i knew all that much about weapon modification
nah this fine
only 14? Damn, you actually have 0 need to upgrade it from there

yea
ive only really been chasing the illusive god roll surge
with zero luck
I had only recently gotten my god roll surge lmao
the perk it had before i changed the thing to carapace was maniac...
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".
now is illisi, though I don't know what perks to put on it
most psykers stop rolling right before they get their god roll surge
see
the good'ol gambler's fallacy
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
pretty much the same, but it's not like I had a real choice in the matter early on
i have about 100 hours on malice with a recon
... well then... this is indeed a mission reward...
not bad
that one can work
barrage to surge and infested to... whatever...?
ye
no, but isn't it still on a headweakspotshot crit?
Melk... you are being suspiciously accomodating of what i am trying to find... are you planning something?
ayo
This works beautifully
hey do yall have a talent build for illisi?
More or less just swapping out both perks for the melk staff i presume?
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
im levelling with gun for now since staff feels weak while levelling
heres what i have
id use assail for levelling its kinda better than most low level guns
Assail is great, Smite's augmentations are useless
ah alright thx
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
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
damn i saw this build earlier here and it used it so i thought it was good https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b782f2a-2bd2-49ac-abd8-0235e80bae51/surge-ds4-vent-psyker
well i kinda need mind in motion to get to seers presence
I think instead of empathic evasion take soulstealer?
The build is good, that one specific talent, is not 
hi, just came back to the game again
yeah, mind in motion sucks ass and you're stuck with it lmao ah well
why do people say that DD is insane now, and do you still only run it basically with gunker and void staff?
Also stacks drop one by one now
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
I meant more along the lines of, staves get a huge power boost at level 30, but so do guns
like it's not like gun psyker at 30 isn't a massive step up from low level gun psyker
Imo correct.
isn't lingering influence broken?
It's weakspot and crit damage mostly, you want weapons that use both well.
which means some guns, and voidstrike.
the 4s > 10s buff
the buff icon is, the buff itself isn't
I hear it does work, it's just the icon bug
ok, is there a real assail angle or is it classico gunker build with gaze and DD
somehow i always found gunker relatively annoying to play
Take assail with them too tbh
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
is gaze still semi mandatory for gun builds?
since voidstrike can be difficult to tag laterally moving targets
they didnt change that right
need to smoke crack beforehand
You can totally make it work with the other abilities... but I question why you would want to lol
it feels like that
other way around imo, but yeah
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
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
or use an illisi to charge up
maybe if i went brain rupture but i wouldnt get the best out of it cause im not lvl 30
take assail and use the VS mostly for melee elites and stationary ranged enemies
its mostly that gaze feels like huge overkill for anything but monstrosities when you got 15 DD and a columnus
nah the build you have is fine, I have my doubts about empathic evasion since it doesn't look like you're really focusing crits
Look at a corridor near the end of like magistrati oubliette where there's like a 10-row thick stack of shooters and hordies
and then see how much gaze helps there too
Crowd dps is important too
@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
No I use creeping flames with gun.
maybe i have an ammo economy aversion to unload the primary rifle into hordes
well at least im actually learning about what im building, id just find builds for zealot and not ask about them, i feel like i know more about psyker already
Interest plays a big role in learning
dw
o7 looks good
or well this now
did they actually nerf the columnus in the last 90 days or is it still god?
should i get that node between the two there btw?
what's it?
toughness damage reduction
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
where is kinetic deflector?
on the tree to DD
im gonna be asking about my build more and more as i level
i wont be following a build i think
On hi5stg sometimes it's a horde of specials and elites lol
Follow a build, tweak it after imo. It gives you room to play and learn what you prefer
Not nerfed, still good
yeah, i think ill still ask here though, yall have knowledge and can tell me about stuff
damn...
There's not really such a thing as a best build in this game, somehow
That's actually the lineup I used to beat hard mode twins 😄
no but i mean get more knowledge
It's actually quite well balanced for how many choices there are
so i can make a better build for myself
Yeah, that's what I mean
thats why im asking yall
Yeah. Learn how things work from someone else's perspective, then once you're comfortable, make your own choices
Building from the ground up is actually a great approach here
I think the other way is better
Just use our advice to avoid hidden pitfalls
Because you're learning what other people say are good, and make judgements from there
And to make sure you aren't leaving any vulnerabilities or redundancies
The reason I say that is because a lot of people can get really overwhelmed from all the choices tbh
And you aren't falling into the trap of selecting terrible blessings lol
Tbh psyker and ogryn are a bit easier imo
But yeah, if you have builds that you're following and you wanna learn about them feel free to ask @sturdy oar
It's zealot and veteran which are more awkward
Yeah, at least the staves are straightforward
I mean, talent-wise
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
The biggest trap nodes we have really are Kinetic flayer and Solidity imo
mind in motion too
Eh, kinda
It's not hard to slide forward
That tends to be a travel node
like yeah I understand you're forced to get it
Rather than one taken with intention
Doesn't mean it isn't ass
It is but I'm talking about outright trap nodes
hmm. fair enough
Like I see people dip 4 points to get Solidity sometimes
eesh
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
Ooh yeah it is
The constant toughness from essence harvest is way too good to pass up
The more sources of toughness-go-up that you have, especially ones that activate at different times, the better
No stipulations no stacking required just straight up toughness regen
It's so much better than evis for crowds, it just comes on a more fragile class
Presuming you mean the XV anyway
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
Genuinely, one bruiser lovetap on damnation depletes your entire toughness bar lmao
fucking trash enemies
they're honestly more dangerous than ragers for me
i meant mk2 evi
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
Man that one is awkward lol, but better on cleave if you're good. Illisi still better yet, though.
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
So if you're gonna be playing high peril builds
Force swords are great at keeping your peril at a high level passively
nvm, my DD is still bugged somehow
its so fun
i never get stacks, only the short movement burts
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
dd?
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
I don't have the answers, just parroting ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Knife is used solely for mobility, with a decent way to kill medium threats, but mostly the mobility
They're...fine builds, they do fine
Psyker usually doesn't use daggers
what about those axes
psyker normally uses ds4 or illisi/demios usually
The other weapons are for a change of pace mostly
non meta fun basically
mmhm

ogryn is the strongest archetype at the moment
in terms of raw damage application
And not dying
that too
what staff is best for illisa?
void, trauma, surge
i meant like amount of weapons and stuff
which blessings am i looking for on void
Surge and Warp Nexus
just saw this. one of y'all is a god
damn mine has sustained fire
monster
I believe surge is only up to level 3 blessing?
havve have to grind th is one out
void trauma or surge... hmmm surge maybe
my surge has terryfying barriage
As Kat would say, surge and illisi is comfy
that's what i run. very very comfy
my trauma has flurry FUCK
trauma you want nexus and blazing spirit
can i steal the flurry and put it on my surge or does it have to be the same weapon
Don't worry about staff blessings until you are lvl 30
^
Just roll with what you've got, the additions to your damage/utility aren't really felt without a proper talent setup anyways
And no, the staves don't share blessings
Don't play trauma pre 30. When you hit 30 also don't play it. 

Why?
3 fucking zealots SOB

i have zealot trauma
? 3 zealots and a psyker is fine
All it means is that there's more pressure on you to deal with ranged

you wouldnt get it
Pretty unhealthy habit but okie. 
...ation
Like as 1 psyker and 3 zealots I can only imagine it being like a drill instructor telling you to believe in god or he smacks you until you say yes
nothing else looks better at the time unless you have the ultranoob ™️ black outfit
Just be rich and wear premium skins since level 1. 
i used the dlc monies for skins did not help me play better
also the auric carry frame is the default+red garbs
Dunno what you lil uns say but Ulgo wear Prison garb and am godlike
i KNOW im gonna do zero damage when i see a dude rocking the default ass gear while screaming VACUME CAPUSLE
lmao
Because ogryn is strongest
Playing on console is fine, other than some of the advanced shenanigans some people do here 
You on pc or Xbox?
pc

It's like the #4 weapon I see good psykers use tbh
Most psykers with a knife I see end up being actual gods
Have you ever played with a chainsword psyker?
I have seen maybe two psykers with a knife 
Funnily enough no, but I imagine it's another very solid choice
I feel like Illisi steals its thunder
Never had a decent Illisi sword, but great chainsword and dueling IV sword
I use it for monstrosity damage, and trauma my way through hordes
But I feel as if I’m lacking with my melee weapon
just did the penance where you kill an elite by exploding yourself
on purpose of course
I couldn't finish the inital one where you had to blow up 3 at once, but I did get the 1 one by accident
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
venting next to an area with a steep fall
maybe the one with the bridge or oblivium in the final section
There's that one espionage mission where you upload false info or something. At the end segment where your hacking a terminal and they charge you over 2 bridges
Smite them off 😂
🤨
venting?
man i think id have to do it in a private game
with help
This is the psyker penance where you have to knock some enemies off of a ledge. Did not expect to get it that easily. I guess the enemies jumped off on their own and my smite killed them while they were doing it.
actually not bad
It's the Chasm Station assassination mission
aoe cc near a ledge without killing them
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
regardless i still dont see how people think that penance is easy
either its very easy or borderline impossible like what
I did that penance by accident
Hmm 
right now higher raw stats are gonna go a lot further than the right perks/blessings
ah yes, the penance build

well its not supossed to be good
I'd suggesting hitting 30 before going after penances
me with EP BB and double wall
this is actually pretty good huh
cant stop me
seriously thanks to whoever suggested that
ep bb?

empowered psionics / brain burst
join game ult twice leave
Yeah, think I will replace rampage with uncanny, I tried rampage and I only use it for poking crushers and muties really. Hope I don't get flamed for using riposte 
riposte is fine. and apparently rampage can actually cleave with light attacks so rampage isn't bad at all
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

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
It needs buffs for sure. 
hit lots of targets at once. lots of chance to crit, crits then propogate more damage
Paired with Wildfire you got a pretty decent extra damage on hordes
@tight plank this is the radius for the fire, picture courtesy of Atlus
i know wildfire is like sleeper strong but fuck it's hard to like it
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
It's actually really weak on its outer radius
The Blaze part applies way wider than any actual significant base damage
And it crits often enough tbh
20 from nexus, 7.5 base, 4-5 from perk, 5 from talent
5% aura, node and perk, then nexus
It's 1 in 3 shots.
No you use cdr aura.
Never use crit chance aura with blaze trauma creeping flames spam.
Never use crit chance aura
ftfy
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 
And we love vet shout
I use bubble anyway
I was gonna say is ammo aura still very usable with the 5s cooldown?
Still better than the other auras vet has, imo
Kinda don't care about CDR for myself apart from psychinetic aura
When this thing crits it literally wont kill pox walkers from 50% hp
the burning wont kill them i mean
You lose so much damage using bubble with blaze trauma.
Might as well just use a different staff.
Yeah, it's kind of a hybrid tank psyker build
nah, you could say that about every staff though
u gotta delete this atlus has a copy right on that picture
Empowered Psionics Brain Rupture covers the gap
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.
He is not here to enforce it, and if nobody says anything I will be fine 
For the juicy 12 stacks.
and yeah, I know that also means no damage buff from warp siphon
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
if you think about it that way youll never ult
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
best way to think about warp siphon is more ults
Warp Siphon can get in the bin, make the spending stacks a node isntead of forced 
Blaze trauma confirmed bad. Pls only use rending and flurry. 
I know, I always advocate for it with shriek as a result
that's why I don't take it with bubble
tbh after trying rending its ass
Does Brittleness only affect where you hit or the whole body?
brittleness isnt even that good
It's true. You get very little value from it.
pretty sure it can't weakspot right?
errrrr
Maybe slightly more damage against ogryns.
Isn't brittleness armor damage reduction reduction?
i meant brittlness is ass
For maulers and ragers you 2 shots them anyway.
rending is a lot more useful
rending is just straight up damage right
Rending and britleness is the same. It's just brittleness is capped at 40%.
Rending is armor dr ignore iirc
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.
Oh it looks like brittleness and rending do the exact same thing? Wut
Would be nice if this was mentioned anywhere in-game 
Brittleness is enemy debuff. Rending is selfbuff.
But they both reduce armour so yes.
Rending is armor pen for you, but everyone benefits from brittleness because it's on the enemy
aaaah
But like I said, brittleness only goes to 40%.
enemy buffs suck ass anyways
So you do a bit more damage. Not ignore carapace armour completely.
debuffs, w/e
idk since its aoe maybe its more useful in a mission than meat grinder
It's ass. 
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?
Die with soulblaze effect on them.
Blaze trauma can do funny memes in melee scab only in particular 
emperor bless finally a good flamer
Nice, is that one blessing still not working?
damnbruh
So out of curiosity what build do u run with this and do u spam the trauma with low charge or what?
team was not having a good time
nope!

Full charge.
Best creeping flames spam build
You need triple 80% damage stats though 
Guess which one I'm missing 
monster


can u show me ur staff too?
The big hard staff
long and thick


Just me watching as the furry tells someone else to drink water. You know you're down bad when that happens
My trauma only has 75% damage, probably need to roll a new one 
its fine
But it could be perfect
only the emperor is perfect
the exact moment one should reconsider their life choices
tbh all thoughts that dont evolve killing heretics are either heretical illegal immoral or a waste of time so we should focus on the task at hand
But yeah, I am not rolling new weapons unless I find a good base in the armory
ye same
rolling at brunts is a big fat waste of money
anything below 300k wont get u shit
even then
And then metal lady bricks it
yup
Mines is at 79% Damage. That should be good enough
I have one with 78% damage, charge and radius, but the quell speed is low 
Question to the experts. How do I properly do the "Perilous Focus" penance? Kill 40 enemies under one Sire's Gaze
Some people here just walked into a horde with an illisi
