psyker-class

[near drift]

I just went ham in a dense poxwalker horde with DS4

[sturdy oar]

not just a furry, a fucked up one too

[supple dock]

I am what you may call... furry adjacent. I know the culture pretty well. I know

[mental grail]

With illisi I just chain charged heavies

[sturdy oar]

warhammer is a step away from furry

[mental grail]

Has never led me astray

[mental grail]

Several steps away actually

[supple dock]

There IS a "fogotten" bit of lore in 40k that involves a planet of anthropomorphs

[mental grail]

Until the catmen come back

[dusk void]

Isn’t quell speed the dump stat though?

[mental grail]

Depends

Usually yes lol

[supple dock]

warp resist usually is best

[vernal temple]

that's what I'm trying to do, but so far my best result is 25/40. guess I should probably notify my team members that I want to complete a penance lol

[mental grail]

I dump my peril into venting shriek, so I rarely actually quell with my sword

85% procs the powered shout and helps with warpfire

[dusk void]

Damn, I have this all wrong then 😂

[supple dock]

yee, you want low warp resist so you can hover around 65-80% peril at all times

[dusk void]

So this is a bad staff then?

[vagrant furnace]

The less you have to quell, the better

[plucky flax]

It's very bad blaze trauma

[wet belfry]

not 380

[supple dock]

near-perfect, but it's a brittleness staff and locked into it v.v

[ionic sorrel]

Is brittleness bad? I always thought it was helpful for the team.

[supple dock]

It's not great, and tbh fuck the team when you can bring more damage

[plucky flax]

It's somehow worse than blaze trauma

[supple dock]

The best way to be a team player is to kill the things attacking them

[vagrant furnace]

Thats so true

[ionic sorrel]

Yeah, deep down I know it's true. But I still like to be wishful about debuffing. Lol

[dusk void]

If there’s a lot of crushers and maulers surrounding you, then the brittleness staff is really helpful

It’s not like I can melee my way out of them

[supple dock]

most all staves are useful for that scenario

[ionic sorrel]

What about with a ds? Poke a few heads and they drop dead.

[supple dock]

DS can get through that scenario, so can force sword

[dusk void]

Same here

[vagrant furnace]

Nobody really cares what you bring in as a psyker in term of weapons or build as long as you can stand your ground in a heavy mixed horde situation

[supple dock]

true, we only care if you floor hug

[vagrant furnace]

Nobody cares if X can one shot a lone crusher with z buff

[stuck sinew]

Had to solo about 10 maulers on a lights out mission earlier just running around charging voidstrike orbs every so often

Very fun when that drops from a walkway above you

Also shield penance sucks

[plucky flax]

Cheese it with many more try mod.

Range scab only.

[supple dock]

I wish most of my scenarios ended like that

I'm used to the 3 bulwarks, 6 ragers, beast of nurgle and 3 snipers between me and the next respawn for my allies lmao

[supple dock]

But! Not to take away from your good job, good job. Didn't mean to make it a competition

[stuck sinew]

Eh it's not the worst I've had

[marble crater]

Just out of curiosity, does everyone in the lobby need the mod or just the person starting the mission?

[plucky flax]

Just the person. So you can do it solo.

[marble crater]

[vestal fulcrum]

I'm feeling like a 40K witcher in this outfit

[marble crater]

Looks so good. Soon

Are you using it for surge/smite?

[supple dock]

TWO SWORDS.. he had TWO SWORDS I wonder what the other one's for..

[marble crater]

Cutting the ogryn's rushuns

[fluid aspen]

Is that one of the new tops from Hestia?

[marble crater]

Yes

[misty pecan]

It’s on the penance track

[marble crater]

3500 points

[fluid aspen]

3500

Fucking hell

[marble crater]

45 to go

[fluid aspen]

I need to play other classes too and do their penances

I'm on 2495

[marble crater]

4900 available penance points, need 4500 for all, so you can skip some stuff, but many of the class penances are quick and easy

[fluid aspen]

I need to do MM to finish Psyker, then I can do something else

[cinder moon]

this hood and top are getting to be too popular

[vernal temple]

Man, I'm still 110 points away from that drip

[fluid aspen]

I do quite like the chonky look

[cinder moon]

my psyker is min height so the chonky stuff just makes it look like she's wearing her dad's clothes

the 21st moebian stuff is especially egregious for that

[supple dock]

my psyker is min value and holy shit the bulky armor makes you look like a DWARF

You are stout looking

[cinder moon]

probably looks reasonable with a big bearded male, fem just looks like they're swimming in the gear

[supple dock]

I had 2 dudes I didn't know just walk up to me after the game started

and just stared. One goes "Why are you so WIDE. Hey! Come here. LOOK HOW WIDE HE IS"

"WHY'S HE SO WIDEEE"

This is all over vc btw. I'm sitting here fucking dying

[fluid aspen]

[cinder moon]

last guy i heard on VC spent the first 5 minutes asking if anyone else had a mic

like, yes, i have a mic, no we don't need to talk

[rigid sky]

Well my FFXIV static just collapsed

Been with it since like 2016, been leading it since like 2019

[fluid aspen]

I have this mindset, I feel like I'll never finish Malleus Monstonum because I refuse to go on VC with randoms

[cinder moon]

this game doesn't require voice chat if you're actually paying attention

i feel like chatterboxes are the least likely to pay attention

[supple dock]

Once you know the "rules" communication should be minimal unless it's something terrifyingly difficult

[plucky flax]

Got this mask

[cinder moon]

you know the rules, and so do i. a full commitment's what i'm thinkin of

[fluid aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/rickroll-roll-rick-never-gonna-give-you-up-never-gonna-gif-22954713

[vestal fulcrum]

This sounds like something The Seer would have said

[sturdy oar]

time to try and unlock cliffjumper...

[marble crater]

Just had a mission with a vet crouch walking the entire time, refusing to use melee at all, went down like 8 times

Penances man...

[dusk void]

I communicate to my team that I suck pretty often, even though I’m decently okay at the game

[cinder moon]

as long as it's obvious you're trying and not just going down by getting caught out by single poxwalkers, nobody really cares

especially if you type "sorry i sucked" at the end of the mission

[marble crater]

"GG, thx for carry"

[cinder moon]

my worst auric performance recently was on ogryn and because i forgot to go to the bathroom before queuing up, had to wizz super bad the last 2/3rds of the mission and was playing suboptimally

just typed at the end "sorry boss, had to go real bad, very distracting"

[marble crater]

Or people getting the door for pizza in the middle of the mission, so you protect them while a horde comes

[sturdy oar]

man id love help for the cliffjumper penance

[marble crater]

Did you try the location with smite in the video yet?

[sturdy oar]

i cant find it, maybe i should go in private game

id love help

[cinder moon]

best way to mitigate this is by playing shieldgryn, hopping on a box with your back to the corner, and planting shield. this way you block all attacks and are immune from anything except disablers

[sturdy oar]

which mission is this?

[marble crater]

Chasm Station, the assassination mission,

[sturdy oar]

could anyone help do this in a private game?

[dusk void]

Chatblock mod

[sturdy oar]

could i even do it alone?

do do you get penances in private games

[cinder moon]

don't even need a mod, just press special and open chat

[sturdy oar]

could... anyone?

[rigid sky]

Some need to be done in a private game

[sturdy oar]

i dont know where this is on the map

[vernal temple]

I'd like to join in on a private game too. Still need that "do 50% damage to a monstrosity with brain burst" thingy

[dusk void]

I think it’s one of the assassination maps

[cinder moon]

just do vigil station oblivium, at the end holdout with the last data interrogator, block a bunch of poxwalkers on the extendo bridge, then vent them off

it's super easy, barely an inconvenience

[sturdy oar]

everytime i try and push them off bridges people kill them

[dusk void]

Just don’t kill them. Use smite and gently push them off

[sturdy oar]

yeah but... everyone else???

and its t5 rn anyway

i cant do a t5

[dusk void]

Are you still leveling up?

[sturdy oar]

oh theres one thats t4 i guess

yes

[marble crater]

@vernal temple @sturdy oar let's try to get you two the penances then

[vernal temple]

🫡

[sturdy oar]

awesome

how do we join strike teams

[vestal fulcrum]

I do indeed

Albeit it's a good fit no matter the purpose

[marble crater]

@vernal temple @sturdy oar give me your Fatshark codes and I will invite you, it's under social in the menu, and then find player

[marble crater]

And I thought I was being original

[vernal temple]

0969140810

[vestal fulcrum]

[sturdy oar]

2302628168

[vestal fulcrum]

At least there will be more good, as kids say these days, "drip", for players that prioritise fashion > gameplay

Like me. But I also like the gameplay.

[plucky flax]

I'm sedition player can I join?

[sturdy oar]

what are warp charges?

[marble crater]

Sure, I will invite you

[plucky flax]

Jk i am watching stuff. Enjoy penance hunting

[marble crater]

[supple dock]

@sturdy oar bottom left corner of psyker tree

[plucky flax]

[marble crater]

@sturdy oar Strike team 17, if you want to join

[sturdy oar]

sorry

actually ill join but prob wont talk

[supple dock]

oh shit

psyker squad posting up?

[sturdy oar]

trying to get penances

i need cliffjumper sob

just push them off they said its easy they said

[cinder moon]

gotta let em pile up first

were you guys doing vigil station oblivium?

pretty sure that was the specific map for which that penance was intended

[tawny pebble]

I'm thinking of putting this either on a trauma build or SG, I think Hadron gave me a good canvas

The damage isn't ideal but everything else is pretty stellar

[patent wing]

uncanny and flesh tearer

and carapace + unyielding are my fav

[tawny pebble]

what's the break point on m6 Damage stat?

[sturdy oar]

dude its not popping

the penance is not popping

[tawny pebble]

big yikes

which one?

OH

[upper sun]

I kneel...

[plucky flax]

Blazing spirit 4 when

[upper sun]

never

go change crit 4 to crit 5

[plucky flax]

[upper sun]

tbh if they ever add new blessings theyll have to either rework crafting or reset all mods

[sturdy oar]

cliffjumper

[plucky flax]

They didn't with pc3

They just added it and that was it

[upper sun]

my one wish is to meet the person who thought up terrifying barrage and made it a blessing in the same league as literally anything else

[upper sun]

eh idk they said theyre working on a crafting update maybe thatll make things less grindy

like bro i wish the devs played their own game

i swear its nice

[plucky flax]

They suck balls at their own game

[upper sun]

i havent changed any build in 200 hours remove crafting all together

yup

the live stream was so sad

[patent wing]

on crushers its like 51

[orchid shadow]

Poor soul is going to be spit out into a world of pain

[patent wing]

mission impossible

[devout belfry]

So what's the current meta try hard build? Gonna try an honest run for the title. Should I dust off the ol' trauma staff?

[cinder moon]

the A.S.S. title? i did it with smite/surge/illisi

[upper sun]

yes

i wanna say go knife trauma for super try hard

[near drift]

If you can control your peril confidently I was pretty darn hard to kill with blaze trauma and bubble

I had DS4 and EP brain burst but those are your preference

[sturdy oar]

dude i still cant get it

[upper sun]

clif hanger?

[fringe plinth]

anyone got a recommendation for a psyker build for someone who is used to playing a zealot? 😛

[upper sun]

have you tried any of the force swords?

theyre very good

[near drift]

right tree psyker is for insane melee/gun damage potential with none of the safety nets that zealot has

If that sounds appealing

[sturdy oar]

yes

[upper sun]

i was asking the other guy if he tried force swords

[sturdy oar]

yes

[upper sun]

but are you still struggling with clif hanger?

okie

[sturdy oar]

yes

[upper sun]

🤔

what missions are up for sedation/uprising

[sturdy oar]

dude how can i get this penance

ive tried everything

[fringe plinth]

i am using a heavy eviscerator on my zealot so i was kinda drawn towards the chainswords 😛

[sturdy oar]

i just really want this damn penance

why is it just never working

[upper sun]

oh my man unironically psyker has better melee weapons deimos/ds4/illis area great weapons putting one of those on a zealot would break the game

[sturdy oar]

this penance is broken

[upper sun]

i saw someone get it but that mission isnt up

[sturdy oar]

this is really really bad

this is such a horrible penance

[long wharf]

What, pushing enemies off ledges?

[sturdy oar]

shouting, smite, sword, nothing has worked

nothign pushes them far enough

i can never get enough

[fringe plinth]

what is ds4?

also i can't get the hang of the force staff

kinda feel like i wanna take a revolver as i have it on my zealot 😛

[upper sun]

dueling sword 4

nothing wrong with revolver psyker

youll do as well as if not better than many vets if yoi hit those headshots

[fringe plinth]

hehe "if"

[upper sun]

iktfb

[fringe plinth]

sorry mate i am too old for the abbreviations 😛

[upper sun]

i know that feel bro

but yeah take a look at the psyker guide and see what weapons you like

[rigid sky]

The 4 staves are all very different, maybe try a different one and see if you like it more :)

[sturdy oar]

ive been doing this for hours

[rigid sky]

But they do tend to be a lot worse at lower levels to be fair

[sturdy oar]

this penance will not. fucking. pop

cliffjumper is horrid

[upper sun]

virgil station oblivium is up

i saw someone get it there

[rigid sky]

I got mine by accident almost there

[sturdy oar]

tried twice

[upper sun]

are you eu region?

[rigid sky]

I just suddenly saw an opening to get it and did a risky dodge->shriek and it paid off

[sturdy oar]

yes

[rigid sky]

It helps to have a team that is bad at horde clear tbh

[upper sun]

bruh we should be asleep

[fringe plinth]

yeah good point

[upper sun]

i can try

[rigid sky]

Surge and Purgatus are the two that are more beginner friendly, Voidstrike and Trauma need a bit more precision and are more impacted by bad modifiers

[west flax]

Any hints as to how I can complete Cliffhanger?

[upper sun]

push enemies off cliff

[dusk void]

Smite them off, or use trama

[west flax]

Ah.

[paper lily]

u can direct smites push by looking in the direction you want enemies to go

[upper sun]

tbh oubliette might be a good fit as well

the first section has a good corner

[west flax]

I'll try that, thanks. Been using Force Sword push and Venting Shriek

[upper sun]

oblivium station is also a very good choice

the very last section has platforms you can push people off

[sturdy oar]

still cant get it

[upper sun]

get a stamina curio and the block for peril talent and you can block an entire hoard long enough for everyone to get close

[upper sun]

wanna give it a try in oubliette?

[paper lily]

can do it in smelter complex

theres a guaranteed massive wave next to lava

[supple dock]

Unironically a lot of those penances will be a "oh hey I got X penance by just playing the game"

But I guess people need a goal instead of just enjoying the game so eh. Fair enough

[upper sun]

ah yes the penance for the keystone i dont like i totally will get that

[dusk void]

Yup. And I believe that auric missions gives you hella penances for playing each map once

[radiant frigate]

ah yes the penance for the subclass i don't like for the class i don't like

sign me up

[upper sun]

i just played momentum until i got it then left the mission instantly

[supple dock]

My POINT BEING

A lot of them will be completed passively WHILE USING A BUILD THAT CAN DO IT

[radiant frigate]

as in, inexorable judgement?

why'd that one get nerfed anyhow

[supple dock]

Lmao

[radiant frigate]

that bad?

i enjoyed my time with it

[supple dock]

Toxic

[upper sun]

hate the game not the player

[radiant frigate]

fits nicely with stealth knife zealot

[dusk void]

Damn, quitter. Can’t even complete a mission 😆

[radiant frigate]

i am not sure if i can go back to playing normal zealot

[sturdy oar]

can someone help with the penance and join

[dusk void]

Still having trouble?

[sturdy oar]

absolutely

2 hours nothing

bot also ruins things

why in a private game can we not remove bots

[orchid shadow]

What penance are you trying to get?

[sturdy oar]

cliffjumper

[orchid shadow]

I can join if you still need a body

[sturdy oar]

please

vc strike team 17

got it

thank god

2 hours

[fringe plinth]

i generally have trouble with the travel time of the projectiles

kinda used to the instant hit of the revolver

the way i like to play is generally having a melee weapon for hordes or close enemies and then something i can snipe far away enemies with

don't really see the point in using a ranged weapon for hordes for example

[viscid matrix]

Lucky for you it’s easier now than it used to be
I remember spending hours trying to get that one and the 5 brainburst elites in 10 seconds(we had no ep), also 100% monstrosity with brain bust was pain

[viscid matrix]

That’s why I like revolver or heavy laspistol as my ranged weapon

Laspistol with right mods can shred monstrosities, revolver can click heads and win

[fringe plinth]

what skills go well with that?

like lets say i take dueling sword and revolver

[viscid matrix]

I usualy use assail if I want to kill a gunner line without using ammo, or smite if I want cc

Running warp charges feels good for it too

If you are not afraid of just going ham into melee, DD can be good, but risky

[fringe plinth]

what's DD?

[viscid matrix]

Disrupt Destiny

Bottom right of the tree

Basicly you just charge for the blue aura and stab his face, then move to the next one, risky as hell

[fringe plinth]

well my main is zealot with an eviscerator

i think that sounds like something that would suit me

[viscid matrix]

Similar playstyle, less survivability
You don’t have get out of jail free passives

[fringe plinth]

tried a build with smite

but i don't really understand how to use that

[viscid matrix]

Primary on smite is bad, only secondary
Let it chain out to many enemies then release for a knock back on weak enemies

[fringe plinth]

when i see others use it they can stun entire hordes it feels like but somehow it doesn't really seem to work for me that well

[viscid matrix]

If you reach 100% peril with smite, you don’t get the knock back

So gotta release it before you hit 100

[fringe plinth]

i think im gonna try assail with DD

and scriers gaze probably

[viscid matrix]

I actually don’t use scriers very often, usualy I use dome shield

[fringe plinth]

i feel like it could work as kind of a proxy for the zealot charge i'm used to 😛

i keep hitting the button on accident because i want to charge

and then i put down the shield in a useless position

[viscid matrix]

Scriers is very nice for a melee build

[fringe plinth]

which aura would go well with a melee build?

prescience?

[viscid matrix]

Always cool-down, it’s just to good for everyone not to take it

[fringe plinth]

aight

thanks for all the advice 🙂

[viscid matrix]

Crit is alright if you don’t care about cool-downs

[fringe plinth]

does it affect assail cooldown too?

[viscid matrix]

I don’t think so, but if you are running out of assail charges, you are overusing it

[fringe plinth]

considering scriers gaze is already just 25 seconds maybe the crit could work

[viscid matrix]

I usualy use assail as a snipe with secondary, or a oshit gotta kill everything around ally

[fringe plinth]

aight imma try some shit out tomorrow 😛 going to bed now

your help is greatly appreciated

[sturdy oar]

im so dead

@vernal temple @marble crater

2 h ours of grinding and finally this

[vernal temple]

g-freaking-g
that was so worth it

[sturdy oar]

it is a cool clip though

[marble crater]

[digital tapir]

NICE.

[viscid matrix]

Now to move to the next tier of penances

[sturdy oar]

they seem a lot easier

[viscid matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/orc-smile-gif-24599680

[vernal temple]

meanwhile I can enjoy my drip

[marble crater]

It's a nice chest piece, worthy of the penance

[vernal temple]

though the new Nyx Patter collar looks even better with it

with all the tubes in the back

[marble crater]

Too. Many. Choices.

[vernal temple]

like the psyker yells "So many voices choices!"

[marble crater]

I messed up the quote

[vernal temple]

5 psyker penances left

[supple dock]

You improved it is ok

[vernal temple]

technically 6, but that last one doesn't count

[next mist]

hey guys!!!!! i uh.... got cliffhanger i guess? ??? ???? ?? //??

[vernal temple]

lmao

[next mist]

i guess the shout clipped some enemies across the map by that spawnpoint?? maybe its like a pencil thin bit of collision back there but i mean ill take it, i can go back to gun psyker now

[spice veldt]

if enemies get staggered on top of there, they just insta-die a short time after for some reason

[vernal temple]

basically how I got my Cliffhanger - by playing the game and at some point it just popped randomly

same for Going Out With a Bang

[next mist]

oh dope, sure beats farming the center of the factory climax

[vernal temple]

the one I dread doing is the "bubble blocks 150.000 damage"

I'm only at 5k with that

[sturdy oar]

i hate you

[next mist]

😭 JUST GO PERFECTLY RECREATE THE SITUATION

[next mist]

i kinda just took cdr and spammed it whenev off cooldown, took like 8 missions roughly. lotsa gunners on auric

[sturdy oar]

2 hours, i even tried that spot that map

hate.

[marble crater]

congratz, easy right?

[vernal temple]

EASY, RIGHT?

[marble crater]

[vernal temple]

[next mist]

LOOK i DID MY TIME sitting by a corner dying trying to perfectly align 10 shitter enemies only for them to stumble back 1 foot and recover from a point blank shout

tiktok am voice goes crazy

[marble crater]

This could have been you, Vivi

[sturdy oar]

SHUT THE FUCK UPPP

I SHOULD BE ASLEEP B Y NOW

if that was me id be asleep, happy

[marble crater]

You got it, you can also be asleep, happy. Just later

[marble crater]

[sturdy oar]

my honest reaction

[viscid matrix]

Don’t do it, blizzard don’t deserve your time

[spice meadow]

can anyone tell me the difference between the smite usages? like what does primary do and then is secondary different or are they the exact same

[sturdy oar]

charge hits more and harder

[spice meadow]

the hell is the point of left click then...

[royal ibex]

panic i guess

[marble crater]

It's faster against a single enemy, like a dog or trapper

[sturdy oar]

idk i just use assail

[spice meadow]

if im playing psyker im already panicing

[sturdy oar]

psyker is clutch or die

zealots may think theyre the hot shit crack addicts, little do they know

[royal ibex]

gun psyker im finding more entertaining than warp psyker

[spice meadow]

i use assail as well, im just getting penance

[marble crater]

It's fun, but the extreme version of glass cannon

[spice meadow]

git gud and lern to doge

[marble crater]

Yes, just don't get hit, easy

[royal ibex]

the 'fuck it we ball' approach.

[cinder moon]

it's a teleport location from the bottom of that stack, and the window over here

presumably there's no fallback logic for enemies...falling back off there

[spice veldt]

they die even if they don't fall off

even if they just get lightly staggered

not even falling down

[cinder moon]

that was a joke, son, a flag waver

you're built too low, the fast ones go over your head

you got a hole in your glove

[mental grail]

is it just me or is the female seer a bit loony?

I switched from male savant so it's a bit of a shock lol, I still love her though

[strong gulch]

Noice

[tawny pebble]

seers in general really

[long wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[hexed geyser]

Next objective is 3456

[strong gulch]

2345 tho. Only missing a 1

I missed 12345 hours. 🥲

Redemption.

[strong gulch]

lol 1234 hours. 😂

[royal ibex]

to all the gun psykers out here, anyone try the recon lasguns out?

or are the IAG's just better overall

[lyric burrow]

iags will be significantly better

recons arent great and dont get a ton of benefit from psyker stuff due to not great finesse

[royal ibex]

fair, got a couple 370+ ones so gonna see if i can get a similar roll i got on my veteran then

[flint pawn]

Quickplay Auric is so great most of the time

And then I had a harsh reminder that it's not perfect, as a run of mine just ended because 2 people went and died like 50 miles ahead of myself and the other lol

[royal ibex]

zealot moment

[flint pawn]

A Zealot and an Ogryn

Both of which had like no HP left so idk what the thought process was there

Dived into like 50 shooters, a horde and some flamers and obviously didn't make it

[potent echo]

They tried their best

[royal ibex]

leave the big man be, he just was lonely and wanted to hang out with shouty

[flint pawn]

You're right. The Zealot was keeping her pocket Ogryn company, and I was keeping mine

Stupid heretics ruined our quality time.

[lethal lagoon]

Recon got nerfed because crit strings were too OP(they are complete ass, kind of nice for leveling though)

Guess which weapon still has the same crit strings

[potent echo]

Add headhunter to CIAG and it will truly be complete

[plucky flax]

Balanced gun mister christopher columbus.

[royal ibex]

we love getting t2 percentages on a 370+ weapon

'least its pretty close to the original one i got, dumdum/fire frenzy could be decent enough'

[plucky flax]

It's so op the only thing you need is dumdum.

[lethal lagoon]

I don't think that's possible unless it's from the store or if you were below level 30 when you aquired the weapon

[lethal lagoon]

TBF, columbus wasn't exactly historically balanced.

Villians with plot armor are scary

I really would love a recon buff though

it's such a fun gun to use

[royal ibex]

nope

thats how hadron did it

[lethal lagoon]

Hardon took a 374 grey you bought from brunt at lvl 30 and added 15% flak to it?

[lethal lagoon]

This discussion aside, that gun is completely good to use

Flak(25%) maniacs is a decent combo

And then you add dum dum and fire frenzy

[royal ibex]

yeah its whack

[plucky flax]

It was in a good place. Very strong on vet but okay on other classes.

Now it's just meh-bad everywhere.

[flint pawn]

Maybe one of the most fun runs I've ever had

Tanked 2 Chaos Spawns with a knife, and enhanced Smites + Venting Shriek is fun

Default scoreboard, icky

Ooh, neat

[plucky flax]

Bruh the ep smite spammer have nearly same range damage as me @lethal lagoon

[paper lily]

yeah what about it

i also died

[plucky flax]

It's op.

[paper lily]

yeah ez wins ez plasteel

warpfire dmg bugged with multiple psykers too

o well

[plucky flax]

I bow down to superior build. Just smite.

[compact cargo]

Just smite users when a soul fire trauma user doesn't let the horde get in range:

[strong gulch]

Grim but no grim.

[vestal fulcrum]

i tried to do a gun wizard

Pygex spotted also :D (don't mind their score, they just jumped in)

but apparently if a man runs a meme build and outscores everyone, because they are the only person killing the big threats, that's a problem

[half iron]

every threat is big if you don’t believe

[tight plank]

Gun wizard best wizard

[strong gulch]

My team was very good at skipping loot and taking naps.

I barely had enough time to grab stuff. One of them knew how to do the puzzle tho; I did not.

[tight plank]

Gandalf would’ve used a gun if he had one

[strong gulch]

Shout out to memes.

[half iron]

the stub is my favorite staff

[vestal fulcrum]

Technically it's a meme that's optimal ™️ to do a Veteran keystone penance

[strong gulch]

Aw. Penance build.

That's how I ended up with a void SG build.

[mortal notch]

what is the strongest psycher build atm? ive noticed trauam staff/bubble/BB being strong

[radiant frigate]

what da team doin

[vestal fulcrum]

I really don't know

We failed

I got cornered

It's my fault

[manic halo]

inb4 thje smite BP SHILL

[frail pasture]

Which scoreboard plugin is that

[manic halo]

speaks

[radiant frigate]

crabmode melee?

[vestal fulcrum]

No crabmode, but Lawbringer with Manstopper - yes

[vestal fulcrum]

Mine, or Potato's?

[mortal notch]

whats the strongest psycher build right now for auci maelstrom?

[frail pasture]

Either. Im using base scoreboard and it feels poo poo

It dosent even properly track half the stuff it says it does

[vestal fulcrum]

It's base scoreboard with most metrics turned off, with OvenProof's plugin and Loadout monitor embedded IIRC

I also use PowerDI, but that's for different purposes

this is the OvenProof's plugin:
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/241?tab=description

[mortal notch]

i use 'scoreboard'

and i use tag plugin

i think 89% of my matches the playerbase tags maybe max 15 times entire match

while im a vet wasting a keystone and tagging 140

feels bad man

[frail pasture]

Yeah even in auric maelstrom with darkness or fog

[mortal notch]

yeah

[frail pasture]

Some people dont tag

[mortal notch]

i dont get it bro

[frail pasture]

Me either

[mortal notch]

free vision

and the player base is like "nag we blind G:

[frail pasture]

its all zealots with the blindfold cosmetic

[true rover]

Got a perfect 380 the other day and on upgrade it gave me a t2, lv 250

[quartz barn]

I only tag if its a prio target or if i cant reach it

Dont really see the point in tagging something that will die within the next second

I do tag a bunch with vent purge

[swift moss]

Hey psyker fans, it's been a good while since I last played the game, are force swords still viable? I am using the illisi atm

[radiant frigate]

Yes

illisi my beloved

[quartz barn]

Both illisi and deimos are still very strong

[radiant frigate]

obscurus is playable but much like deimos it is best used as little as possible

[swift moss]

ah I tried the orthus twins and I felt like I was contributing very little in the way of damage with either sword or rending trauma staff

[radiant frigate]

tbh best you can do on that fight as a psyker is probably waveclear

since boss shields are weak to melee and your melee isn't exactly the best bosskilling tool

[frail pasture]

Illisi for horde clear, Deimos for single target (Still has okay horde clear)

[quartz barn]

Psyker's boss dmg is pretty low compared to the other 3

So for twins i just cover for others

[compact cargo]

Voidstrike still stunlocks plogryn/cspawns

[frail pasture]

Well dueling sword gun psyker can delete bosses

but its a waste of psyker cause you give up all your unique utility

[manic halo]

and osbscurus for

for um...

[upper sun]

uhhh

[compact cargo]

gimping yourself

[quartz barn]

Yes but my point is that you dont do a lot of dmg to them

[manic halo]

https://tenor.com/bipCw.gif

[compact cargo]

[manic halo]

the strike down heavy

[frail pasture]

Deimos is prob your best 'normal' psyker weapon for boss damage

heavy stab go brrr

[half iron]

knife

[compact cargo]

Smite

Smite everything

[manic halo]

smite is dog shit

[swift moss]

okay, I do have a deimos laying around, it's half decent with slaughterer uncanny tier 3

[compact cargo]

[manic halo]

embrace venting shriek

but without warp fire

that shitty talent that does direct damage

lol

[half iron]

how about both smite and venting shriek? with warp rupture

[frail pasture]

Thats fine

[manic halo]

https://tenor.com/view/how-about-i-kill-you-how-about-it-kill-you-instead-fucking-die-gif-25365917

[frail pasture]

You will miss shield in auric maelstrom tho

Its too good for your team

[half iron]

i’ve been seeing more wall shields in pubs

[frail pasture]

It depends on the mods

Any time you have hordes of mutants its pog

[half iron]

yeah true

[manic halo]

as it should be

bubblechuds seething

Rude

[swift moss]

oh is the bubble regarded as bad?

[manic halo]

no

But I shit on it because wall is just more fun and takes more brain

[frail pasture]

No, id say like 75% of the time its better

[manic halo]

(slightly)

more brain

[frail pasture]

but sometimes wall is just pog AF

[half iron]

yes. bubble is terrible and no one, i repeat, no one (in all caps, bold mla format), should use bubble.

[manic halo]

Bringing out MLA on my day off

UNIS OVER

SHUT UP

ITS MMY BREAK

[heavy hound]

I like the toughness regeneration from the bubble

[half iron]

psykers gotta keep their brain ready at all times

[manic halo]

bubblecells when their bubble runs out

err

guess I gotta wait

wall chads???

i have another

[heavy hound]

Cool down reduction go brrrr

[silk remnant]

ellooo, can anyone tell me a good rating for profane obscurus pattern swords, I'm trying to get a 500+ one at transcended level

[manic halo]

Obscurus Mk II is the worst one of the three as it has worse horde clear than the Illisi, worse single target damage than the Deimos and shares the animation lock special with Deimos. It is essentially a downgraded version of the two other swords. If you are looking for a melee weapon that sits between Illisi and Deimos, check out Duelling Swords and especially the DS4.

[half iron]

knife

[silk remnant]

so if I were to get an illisi, what's a good rating to have when I find one in the requsition section

[manic halo]

you could sacrifice your soul (and plasteel) towards the gambling grindset

All Abilities Are Great (except for warp rupture version of shriek)

[royal ibex]

god getting the 250 kills with empowered psyonics is pain

[vestal fulcrum]

Why is that?

[royal ibex]

idk i just hate running it over the other 2

[vestal fulcrum]

(veteran for instance has to kill 500 armoured enemies with Kraks )

[royal ibex]

DD is more fun for me with the minigame, whereas warp siphon stacks are just decent allrounders

also yeah i saw that penance and cried a bit holy shit

told myself id get the shield/smite/cooldownr eduction aura penances done though so working on those, smite done thank fuck so i can go back to the funny shards but other 2 are still going

[marble crater]

EP smite, pox hound waves

[manic halo]

I remeber when flamer was the goat for pox hound waves

what happend to my flamer

[half iron]

they buffed ep smite for that penance. that’s right. i’m john gametheory

[royal ibex]

smite

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner2049-blade-runner-angry-god-damnit-confused-gif-15118091

[marble crater]

Pox hound waves is one of the most accepted uses for smite

And best

[royal ibex]

true i just hate it

[rigid sky]

I love EP brain rupture

So I'll slowly get it with that I guess

Very slowly lol

[vestal fulcrum]

“Very”

Honestly? 10 games or so

Maybe slightly more or less, depending on how many things you get to kill reliably

[rigid sky]

Tbh I think I might have got like 40 from the last game I did

50

[vestal fulcrum]

Yee, BR does not screw around

[rigid sky]

Two people died in the second to last section in hab dreyko

[strong gulch]

Doesn't take too long to get even on regular dams.

[rigid sky]

And that big room with the medicae at the start decided to be full elite spam

And I was running trauma and bubble, my gf's ogryn only one still alive who isn't super well equipped to deal with 6 gunners at once

So I was brain rupturing for about 5 minutes solid

Just more and more elites every few seconds

[lethal lagoon]

[vestal fulcrum]

[radiant frigate]

EP smite fucks

true fact

[rigid sky]

I do have to try the new EP smite

[lethal lagoon]

Fatshark buffed EP smite cause everyone was using it with bubble and thought it was shit.

Now the people who actually ran it with flaming shriek are doing stupid amounts of damage

[rigid sky]

I took my Surge psyker off of EP and onto WS

[lethal lagoon]

Bubble Smite is a war crime

[rigid sky]

Now I will try going back

[vestal fulcrum]

And they did so before. Now they are even more empowered to do so

[lethal lagoon]

[marble crater]

[lethal lagoon]

"Support" build, carrying the run as usual

[vestal fulcrum]

That’s like saying “I’m playing support Vet” with shit like VoC and Focus Target keystone

And plasma gun

casually out-damages everyone by hundreds of thousands of damage

[radiant frigate]

i like to support the team by killing everything

that way they just have less to worry about

[lethal lagoon]

I prefer the support shield Ogryn who never heavy attacks and just stands in random places

[strong gulch]

This run had one of those.

[radiant frigate]

press f (taunt)
deploy shield
sit

i swear i almost had an aneurysm when i saw someone pull that maneuver

[lethal lagoon]

"I'm clearly carrying the game, why is my team so bad"

[half iron]

i watched it happen in front of my eyes

[plucky flax]

Does it? Doesn't work for me after patch.

Same with ogryn slap.

[compact cargo]

Works for me aslong as you hit it mid attack, for chaos spawn it works for the attempted grab/ single stationary hit, not the running one, it also can force the spit on the bon, altho extremely inconsistent

Haven't tried post patch on basher, I'm back to struggling with paul

to remind myself of what could be

[plucky flax]

I'd say overall illisi surge smite warp charges creeping flame spam.

[plucky flax]

For twins ds4 with carapace and rending is very strong. Same with knife and uncanny.

[vestal fulcrum]

So did you change your mind, or do you openly still believe in Blazing Trauma buffs

[strong gulch]

pls buff

[upper sun]

twins too hard on psyker tbh

like idk i just try to clear while team does everything else

[frail pasture]

Psykers kit is pretty supportive unless you build for single target

Lots of CC, lots of horde clear, good defensive assist

Mediocre ST

[rigid sky]

Is there any psyker shit that actually works for twins?

[rigid sky]

And then there are gun psychos

[frail pasture]

Yeah thats what I ment by build for it

but then you give up literally almost all your utility

[rigid sky]

More like literally all, if you fully commit - but it's worth it

I mean SG/DD makes horde clear a breeze too at least

[frail pasture]

Yeah but you could also just play a boss melter zealot and have more utility

Granted, Zealots arent as cool as us Psykers

[radiant frigate]

as a whole i would say twins is just not an encounter psyker is good at

[cinder moon]

twins on psyker is tough

buffed ep smite probably makes crowd control during final encounter a lot easier, though

[mortal notch]

any fellow psychers help me get my cliffhanger penance?

[lethal lagoon]

Boss melter Zealot isn't dropping 1 million damage games

Columbus Assker is

[plucky flax]

Yes pls buff

[plucky flax]

Yeah 2 good builds. Gun psyker and blaze trauma.

https://youtu.be/LvaenOLrY9A
https://youtu.be/LIblNd7RN9w

[rigid sky]

Ah, gunker, of course that would end up being the answer lmao

[plucky flax]

I use laspistol assail.

[rigid sky]

Does Blaze trauma mostly focus on the adds?

[plucky flax]

Kill all adds then ds4 for the big bois

[rigid sky]

I guess laspistol and CIAG both work

[plucky flax]

I got top boss damage both rounds.

[marble crater]

Are there rounds where you don't get top damage?

[plucky flax]

Yeah when I play blaze trauma.

(Scoreboard is blaze trauma hater)

Or when I play ogryn actually cos I like to melee and not spam kickback the whole round.

[marble crater]

Heavy melee spam as ogryn is fun

[strong gulch]

How did/ are non-creeping flames penances treat you?

I finally got creeping flames back and it feels so much better.

[marble crater]

All psyker penances should be related to shriek only

[quartz barn]

Cliffhanger 2.0

But now with burn and raw dmg

[vestal fulcrum]

Cliffhanger 2.0 - where you have to throw enemies over a ledge, but they have to die in mid-air, before they hit the death plane

[quartz barn]

'Kill 10 enemies within 2 seconds with creeping flames as they're falling of a ledge'

Also, when did they update the investigation mission with the pox tree?

[zinc star]

This update

[quartz barn]

Why does this kinda stuff not get a highlight but the 'redo everything for new penances' update does...

[upper sun]

ye its just as bad now but in a different way

[marble crater]

It was mentioned in the notes

[upper sun]

its a sneakpeak at the crafting update

[quartz barn]

Tbf you're not going to read the notes when you stopped playing due to lack of content

But hey the new area looks cool

[marble crater]

That's your own fault then
If I was waiting for new content I would read the notes to see if they added what I am waiting for

[zinc star]

The new mini game is odd at first though took at few trys to know what your meant to do.

[upper sun]

i will simply keep not playing hab

[zinc star]

You will play hab and like it

[marble crater]

I like it, give us more missions with such an epic escape

[plucky flax]

Hated it just powered through them then go back to creeping flames. I chessed them with solo play too.

[marble crater]

The inquisition will hear of this

[tough cipher]

Wanted to try gun psyker and got / reblessed for this roll;

Would it be worth trying to get one with 80 damage & t4 blessings or is the difference not that big?

Assume 73 stability will do just fine?

[vestal fulcrum]

Yeah. Don’t stress too much over it, you have a reasonably good Columnus

[marble crater]

On fast fire rate weapons the damage stat is less important, because they are less breakpoint dependant, but those stats would be fine for almost all weapons

[fluid aspen]

Does Surge on Trauma do 2 explosions?

[vestal fulcrum]

Nope.

[fluid aspen]

RIP

[vestal fulcrum]

It shoots 2 LMB projectiles, though

Atlas has a funny build with that in mind IIRC

[lethal lagoon]

It does something even better.

#1158835513789272126 message

I even have a recommendation.

#psyker-class message

[fluid aspen]

[lethal lagoon]

I need to reach 5 recommendations for Fatshark to fix LMB damage on unyielding, so please

[fluid aspen]

I'm leveling a Vet right now and it feels incredibly lacking compared to what Psykers can do

[lethal lagoon]

Embrace the power

[marble crater]

Just spam shout

[lethal lagoon]

I tested with an EU bro(I'm U.S), our scoreboards matched 1-1

They don't call me undead nothing.

[vestal fulcrum]

Is that person on this server anymore, even?

I may be lagging, but it doesn’t appear so on my end

[lethal lagoon]

When I was pulling that recommendation out of the grave, and looking for another, I found his reply to me

[frail pasture]

Yeah but Vets have voice of command which is strong af

Literally holding the class together

[lethal lagoon]

Yep, when I play vet I need my meatbags to stay alive as long as possible to hold aggro for me

[fluid aspen]

That just makes it mandatory to run on every build which is boring af

Same thing with the ammo aura, no point running anything else

[vestal fulcrum]

Far from mandatory

But IMO it does many things it shouldn’t, not with that short cooldown at least

[lethal lagoon]

Nothing is mandatory, cause the game is too easy.

[frail pasture]

I mean.. sure if you wanna take things that are much worse

[lethal lagoon]

But if we are talking meta.

Voice is S-tier and everything else is on a different list

Which is the problem

[fluid aspen]

Right, maybe not mandatory, but taking anything else is a massive downgrade

[vestal fulcrum]

And Voice is S tier because it’s a no effort space maker on a low cooldown that makes you immune to bursts of damage and replenishes your entire toughness

And it also staggers bosses, for some reason

[marble crater]

Also laughs at poxbursters

[vestal fulcrum]

And its CD can be reduced by a skill

[vestal fulcrum]

Hence “immunity to bursts of damage”

[frail pasture]

aaaaaand it also does that for your team

[marble crater]

Fine, talk in general terms then

[vestal fulcrum]

Oh yeah, let’s not forget that it’s a team/coherency-based effect

[marble crater]

Unless you are one of the vets who picks the revive and then never uses it "just in case"

[frail pasture]

Nothing like 2 vets and a symbol zealot keeping everyone at 2x toughness at all times

[lethal lagoon]

I used revive like twice and that was literally me both times.

Made me realize that the reason I got to revive 3 people was because I didnt shield them

[plucky flax]

Yep hated them. I just powered through

[potent echo]

Even x1.01 lets you eat sniper/bursters/overheads

Yellow toughness is just busted

[plucky flax]

Press f and win who wouldn't love it

[fluid aspen]

And Vet keystones are just 🤮 and you're better off stacking more passives around the tree

[lethal lagoon]

F

Still no cat girls

[plucky flax]

I played 1 round of volley Fire

Then I'm like I could be shouting.

[upper sun]

mutants bad

[plucky flax]

[fluid aspen]

Doing Vet penances must be fucking torture

[plucky flax]

Although vet stealth is cool I like it too.

[lethal lagoon]

Isn't vet stealth just a worse version of zealot?

[upper sun]

suppress 9000 enemies 🙂

[plucky flax]

Yeah the weapon specialist weak spot and krak are taking long.

No it's the same?

[fluid aspen]

"Miss enemies on purpose"

[marble crater]

Vet stealth and smoke penances were easy, that was nice

[upper sun]

like bruh

[lethal lagoon]

Funny enough, surpress 9000 enemies would be super easy on psyker

[plucky flax]

You can even get 2 charges although I don't. I only use the basic ability.

[upper sun]

why the fuck would you add a supression penance after survivalist nerf

[lethal lagoon]

LMB has weirdly high supression

⁠Builds for Space Wizards⁠
I even have a recommendation.
⁠psyker-class⁠

Noooo

I'm dumb

[upper sun]

just let people do it for a while

[marble crater]

Use stealth in a horde, leave stealth, complete penance

[potent echo]

Actually is it just be or ciag has really weak suppression

Maybe psyker balls spoilt me

[upper sun]

kinda yeah

suppression is an ass mechanic

[potent echo]

Stealth combat ability actually 🤔

[upper sun]

in what scenario would i should around a reaper so a zealot can jump it?

[potent echo]

Doesn't it suppress everything when coming out of stealth

[upper sun]

idk

[marble crater]

Yes it does

[potent echo]

Ez farm

[lethal lagoon]

Built in terrifying barrage

[upper sun]

but then why do you need TB on every wpeaon?

[marble crater]

Just use it whenever you melee a horde, it's easy, throw smoke nades at the same time

[lethal lagoon]

"How do we make Vet abilities other than voice complete garbage but make them seem like they do a lot?"
"Let's just give it Terrifying Barrage. According to the data, it's the most common blessing. People love it"

[potent echo]

Confetti skirt

[marble crater]

That's a zealot

[plucky flax]

[lethal lagoon]

[potent echo]

Terrifying barrage is a console gamer blessing

[vestal fulcrum]

Pants not fitting the outfit

[potent echo]

For all their missed shots

[vestal fulcrum]

Somebody didn’t do their WS keystone penance

[plucky flax]

Wut what pants do you want?

They are green

[lethal lagoon]

Terrifying Barrage actually is the most popular blessing, think about what you do with a weapon when it rolls it

It stays in your inventory, maybe even multiple of them

[vestal fulcrum]

Or the Focus Target one?

I think it might have been the focus target one

[plucky flax]

My last 2 they are going slow.

Oh I have the focus target one done lemme check.

[marble crater]

[vestal fulcrum]

Yea. But the chest piece has a matching set of pants for completing the Focus Target keystone penance

[plucky flax]

No I think you meant the krak nade.

[upper sun]

tracking that penance causes scab melee maelstroms to not show up

[vestal fulcrum]

Is it the krak?

[plucky flax]

These shoes?

[vestal fulcrum]

OK, fair enough

[plucky flax]

It takes so long.

[vestal fulcrum]

Indeed

[plucky flax]

500 is quite a lot.

They could have done 100.

[marble crater]

What counts for it anyway, crushers, bulwarks and maulers?

[upper sun]

yeah they also should have done zero kills for zealot out of coher

[plucky flax]

Someone said bulwark counts too.

[quartz barn]

But player engagement stats

[plucky flax]

Idk I just spam them at any elites.

Because this penance sucks balls.

[upper sun]

hell yeah

[lethal lagoon]

I like gobstoppers

Nice balls to suck on

[marble crater]

[lethal lagoon]

Armourbanes seems like potentially the longest class penance yet

Of the new ones

[fluid aspen]

500 enemies with a grenade designed to punch through the armor of 1 or 2 targets at a time

[potent echo]

Isn't the free bullet one worse

[marble crater]

Free bullet one you can do by just mag dumping at the end of a mission

For krak you need to find a target and then hope your team doesn't kill it before the nades goes boom

[lethal lagoon]

I'm now to going to actively kill armored targets that have a krak thrown at them.

I need to revenge for the endless years of BB torture

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

[half iron]

anything to spite veterans

[potent echo]

It's vet on vet crime

I seen a mauler with three kraks thrown at it

[rich jolt]

What???

Why?

What difficulty are we talking about

[marble crater]

Why, for the penance of course

[potent echo]

Yea

[plucky flax]

Literally my last game.

1 ogryn 3 vets.

All kraks.

We are just competing to get that shitty penance.

134 to 159 in 1 round...

[potent echo]

Pepehands

[plucky flax]

All 3 were shout vets so we just walked through pox gas.

Balanced class indeed.

[abstract saddle]

Yo, can someone help me with the malaeous monstrum penance?

[marble crater]

I can later in the day

[zinc phoenix]

I’m choosing to sit out the penance stampede to avoid all the dumb shit, had enough pain the first time we had one

[rigid sky]

The long ones are best just done passively imo

set a build that accomplishes what you need to do for it

and then just play

although that said I'm not looking forward to having to warp some of my builds through to the +elite damage aura

[upper sun]

what if i dont wanna play that build

[rigid sky]

don't get the penance I guess, you don't need to get all of them to get all of the rewards on the track

[upper sun]

nah i will simply grind them

[rigid sky]

I mean if you know you prefer to work like that then go for it lol

[patent steeple]

elite damage aura doesn't hit any BPs in terms of reducing how many halfway/full charge Void shots is needed to kill a single enemy?

[rigid sky]

I have no idea, I just don't like the pathing

Maybe I can force it into a purgatus build, but then I lose EE

ugh

[plucky flax]

The aura ones are easy it's passive.

Apart from zealot aura penance.

Any teammate elite or special kills give you progress

[patent steeple]

ahh fair enough, I always just take One with The Warp and forget about EE (I cannot afford to take EE even on my Purgatus build iirc)

the only time I can afford EE is on my gunker build, now that I think about it...

[upper sun]

simply pick up a grim and go afk

[tight plank]

after trying a few matches im now even more convinced that blazing on trauma is awful and has no benefit to you or the team

[upper sun]

veri tru

[tight plank]

atleast i think i gave it a fair shot

[marble crater]

I use it on purgatus, also doing shield and EP at the same time

[stiff falcon]

Think my shield penance is bugged

Stuck at 63k

[upper sun]

i'm pretty sure my clutch penance is bugged

[plucky flax]

I meant the loner one. That one is ez ye

[plucky flax]

100% super trash weapon

[upper sun]

loner one should get you banned when you finish it

[stiff falcon]

Loner is easy, my zealot has it

[stiff falcon]

Had a heresy with a stealth zealot running it

He took 1200 damage

[upper sun]

zealot moment

[stiff falcon]

I only farm the ones I’m used to in auric and malice players are going to die no matter what

[frozen fiber]

any good flame staff/brain burst builds?

[vestal fulcrum]

Yeah, hold on

1 spare point for anything you might want (Toughness node or Soulstealer, or Wildfire are all probably valid)

[frozen fiber]

thank you

[vestal fulcrum]

Aura choice is flexible; you can go Seer's Presence, but Kinetic Presence is also OK

[frozen fiber]

spare point into wildfire maybe

[vestal fulcrum]

It's fine. I don't think the skill has immense impact and it would probably work better had you specced for Warp Siphon keystone, but it's 'decent' enough to spare a point for it

[marble crater]

I was going to suggest the exact same build

[patent steeple]

btw, I'm not sure if my Blaze Trauma BR build needs Wildfire more than EE...

[marble crater]

Blaze trauma doesn't crit as often/reliably to make good use of EE, imo, so wildfire is my preferred choice

[patent steeple]

what about on a Surge Void DD Smite build? would Wildfire still be better on that?

[marble crater]

Not sure, wildfire would be less useful at least, because you wouldn't create any soulblaze with the staff

I don't play void, so I have no idea how often it crits

[plucky flax]

Wildfire is better with warp charges for creeping flames spam.

Dd you won't spam as much.

[radiant frigate]

loner penance have me an aneurysm

[supple dock]

Yeah I started playing with Wildfire and it's...actually not bad

at worst it makes bucketheads 1shot-able

[patent steeple]

bucketheads? is that your nickname for Maulers?

[vestal fulcrum]

Dreg bruisers = bucket-heads

[patent steeple]

oh yeah, I see it now...

[vestal fulcrum]

Scab bruisers = jackets

[supple dock]

yee

[plucky flax]

They should make it kill when alone. Not alone + backstab + range unit only lol

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[brave fiber]

better option: rework loner

(It sucks nuts)

Also there’s close to no reason to ever take it

Over the toughness aura

• the route to get it is real bad

[radiant frigate]

thy wrath be swift is kinda goated though

dance of death however..

plus imo nothing beats holy revenant

[plucky flax]

I take loner unironically

Best zealot aura.

[radiant frigate]

elaborate

something something no intercept squads

[upper sun]

free toughness when speed running solo

[plucky flax]

I am very comfortable solo and this gives me an option to always regen.

[radiant frigate]

i have shroudfield and fat cdr for that

[plucky flax]

Good for solo incursion against range units and plasteels picking

I don't have cdr on my martyrdom loner stealth build.

[supple dock]

I had a loner zealot in my game yesterday. He ran ahead, got dogged, and left. Just like every zealot ever

[upper sun]

hell yeah

[supple dock]

People who think speed = skill

[brave fiber]

the stun part of it is p useless but move speed is always nice

[upper sun]

HELL YEAH

[vestal fulcrum]

A man could just as easily pick Second Wind and have a countermeasure against shooters

[supple dock]

preeee good

[upper sun]

aaand bricked

[supple dock]

sad to see mobility so low instead of warp resistan-

damn

[plucky flax]

What's that?

[supple dock]

is anything about it salvagable?

[upper sun]

nah i have better ones

[supple dock]

fair enough

[vestal fulcrum]

15% toughness replenish on successful dodge

[upper sun]

im just chasing that flak maniac deflector slaught dragon

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s a skill above blades of faith blitz

[plucky flax]

I have it on throwing knives build. Martyrdom build I gotta go left side.

No way to have enough points for it.

[vestal fulcrum]

You don’t have to do anything

Jk

[plucky flax]

[vestal fulcrum]

I wouldn’t ever go left side, though

There aren’t any good skills there

[upper sun]

never go left side on any class

[vestal fulcrum]

(Upper left side that is)
