psyker-class

[rigid sky]

OK just a troll build then

I took the bait

Wp

[fluid skiff]

Flayer is "usable" ONLY if you're running purg. Otherwise don't bother

[austere crest]

warp rupture is great, creeping flames is a lil greedy, no?

[mental grail]

I mean, it's very easy to have a all-rounder psyker build aka void-smite-fs/ds

[austere crest]

You guys, I really suggest playing with more builds

You seem very closed off XD

[supple dock]

the bait is so good

[austere crest]

Highly rated:

[supple dock]

holy shit you're an actual genius

[fluid skiff]

Is gud bait

[austere crest]

I'm dead ass tho

[rigid sky]

Like I'm actually angry on the 1% chance you are srs.

[austere crest]

What would the troll part be?

[rigid sky]

Fuck me for being autistic and actually having a drive to help people learn and squash misinformation lmao

[fluid skiff]

Which staff is it?

[mental grail]

One of the new ones required you to take warp-charges instead of ep and keep them maxed while you BB specs and elites

[royal ibex]

ah is this the LMB build i keep hearing about

[austere crest]

Surge

[mental grail]

Legitimately dogshit penance, at least it's short.

[supple dock]

Recently saw someone spamming the SHIT out of LMB and I was like "wait how is it so fast"

Then I figured it out and now lmb is a fuckin menace if you can aim the shitty bolts

[high turret]

does wildfire still spread to demonhosts

[supple dock]

Crit damage omg you are trolling

[mental grail]

We like using builds that make tangible sense

[royal ibex]

whatever makes people upset but is funnier im down

[long wharf]

it should spread to any enemy (up to 4) around the dying enemy

[mental grail]

bro, does it? I'm not fucking testing that out

[austere crest]

its super accurate, but slower than a bullet so it's timing based. tapping qruell between shots lets you shoot twice as fast yeah

[high turret]

ok so it can still agro them

nice

[austere crest]

no

[fluid skiff]

LMB?

[mental grail]

Left mouse button

[supple dock]

yee. I mean yeah ik it's accurate but it's a fucking chore to aim because the reticle gets drowned out by anything

[rigid sky]

Fuck this I'm going to sleep

[fluid skiff]

Ah am console peasant

[austere crest]

crit and weakspot damage do great things to the primary fire on surge

then, on surge, there is a crit bonus as well

[rigid sky]

You killed my enjoyment for tonight, tyvm

[supple dock]

LMAO

[austere crest]

with run n gun you get +10 damage while sprinting

[mental grail]

Wheeze

[austere crest]

its a superior staff

[rigid sky]

My joy is withered

[mental grail]

[fluid skiff]

Weakspot damage on surge? Huh?

[supple dock]

I'm fucking dying

[high turret]

run and gun user????

[mental grail]

So weak you are, sibling

[high turret]

in 2024????

[rigid sky]

My happiness is crushed

[austere crest]

Primary fire

weakspots constantly..

[rigid sky]

I have the opposite of a warp erection.

[mental grail]

you are not an actual person

[austere crest]

I am the weakest.

[supple dock]

you know what

I'm gonna subscribe to the fact that skudie just knows better

[austere crest]

i promise i test this shit

[round gull]

Guys,is really assail a good option? I see brain rupture as a better option or at least more intuitive for me

[high turret]

on god?

[austere crest]

Assail is amazing yes

[fluid skiff]

Post a run, I wanna see it

[mental grail]

Assail is kino

[supple dock]

assail is probably the strongest blitz in the game

[mental grail]

^^^^^^

[rigid sky]

Assail is crazy good

[round gull]

Really?!?

[austere crest]

i just posted my ep build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyJer-Ip7ws

[rigid sky]

Brain rupture is great too don't get me wrong g

[high turret]

brain rupture???

[round gull]

I need to practice more with it

[austere crest]

same set up diff skill tree

[mental grail]

EP brain rupture is good

[rigid sky]

Brain rupture is a scalpel

[round gull]

Yeah,killing armoured guys is so satisfying

[supple dock]

brain rupture on its own is a pretty decent option for holding the rear

[austere crest]

this one is greedy

[fluid skiff]

Assail + Perfect Timing + any keystone = dead enemies

[rigid sky]

Brain rupture with EP and KR is a scalpel wielded on meth

[mental grail]

But ep assail is legitimately smoothbrain carry mode until damnation and above

[austere crest]

is true you can't go wrong

[rigid sky]

DD assail also supreme.

[round gull]

Assasil is like quite weird to control at first, isn't it?

[mental grail]

Such a strong blitz even post nerf

[supple dock]

then you actually have to interact with the game's mechanics

[rigid sky]

Just spam the fucker

It's cheap and fast

[round gull]

If I spam I get crazy and I explode

[mental grail]

Bro just vent

[supple dock]

well, don't do that then

[rigid sky]

Right click for precision shots on blue bois or specials

[mental grail]

Lowest skill blitz honestly

[supple dock]

smite?

[fluid skiff]

Hold quell before the throwing animation finishes, you'll survive

[rigid sky]

Remember, if the voices tell you that you can throw one more assail under 20 stacks of SG

[round gull]

Do they always hit the head or something like that?

[rigid sky]

It's best to listen, the voices want you to succeed:)

[austere crest]

😄

[round gull]

My beloved

[rigid sky]

You probably won't explode :)

[supple dock]

me at 92% peril with my surge staff

[mental grail]

Smite is easy, but not rewarding unless you use it right. Assail literally carried my dumbass self all the way to damnation.

[rigid sky]

usually

[supple dock]

It's a 50/50 if I land it or not

[round gull]

What is your beloved telling you?

[supple dock]

fair enough. I only got to level using pre-talent rework

[round gull]

O h

[fluid skiff]

the Daemon of Tzeentch My beloved says kill

[mental grail]

I was one of those new psykers who joined after the talent update, I mained assail from level 5 to 30 before I actually had to learn how to play the game.

[round gull]

🤣

[supple dock]

You will blow up. It will be humiliating. Then you stop doing it as much, but it still happens. But when you do it less and see someone else do it, then you can mock them

[round gull]

XDDDD

[rigid sky]

I saw Pygex do it once

[round gull]

Nice attitude

[austere crest]

and it will still happen, sometimes its the right thing to do.. depending.. you know

[rigid sky]

I never felt bad about blowing myself up again ever since

[austere crest]

god i pop at least twice a day

too hyperactive of a player

[rigid sky]

You have to limit test sometimes

[thorn cedar]

sometimes i pop three times a match

[rigid sky]

And yes, sometimes that limit testing will kill your whole party

[fluid skiff]

I treat it like stepping on a Lego or a d4, "ow fuck I wish that didn't happen"

[round gull]

A day?I do it twice per gameplay XDDDD

[rigid sky]

Yes, sometimes you will hit tilt and do it 5 times in a match

[supple dock]

bro after the second time you boom, it just fucking TILTS me

[austere crest]

battle meditation is savior most of the time

[thorn cedar]

yes battle med rocks

[supple dock]

https://tenor.com/qeoxzGlGgIS.gif

[rigid sky]

Shriek is a good crutch for it

[thorn cedar]

fuck that im gazing bro

[austere crest]

i like LMB, Battle Med lets me do it forever quell

[thorn cedar]

ill gaze for hours

and never let myself perils

[supple dock]

scrier's is the safest way to play boom-wise

[rigid sky]

At least with Gaze your only risk factor is either assail or activating a force sword

Since only the craziest of bastards do staff gaze

[austere crest]

things just heat up to where i can't take it anymore and i just explode on my knees with like 4 random guys around me

[supple dock]

it's the worst when you're clutching

[austere crest]

XD

lmfao

yeah thats the worst

[round gull]

Lol

[supple dock]

You're surrounded. 20+ elites surrounding you, you're KICKING ASS

...boom

[austere crest]

definitely

what a fucking vibe

[rigid sky]

It's the death from puss in boots meme

[austere crest]

only psykers can relate

[thorn cedar]

me staring longingly at that last assail shard i shouldnt have thrown as it whisks away

"oh please be a 1 in 10"

[supple dock]

my favorite is when you try to swap weapons, input gets eaten, you lmb your staff at 100% peril

[austere crest]

XD

yeahhh

i stopped using force sword bc of that

[round gull]

🇯🇵

[austere crest]

fucking swap and do a push attack on accident

[rigid sky]

Now that's laptop-in-the-fireplace material

[supple dock]

but as far as brain rupture goes, unaugmented I used it for 2 things mainly

Precharging enemies I hear coming from the rear of the party

And snipers

[mental grail]

Switching from gunker back to being normal staff psyker is a shock when I remember I can't just hold the trigger down

[round gull]

Bain rupture for snipers is god

[rigid sky]

It's a really good idea to try to budget Kinetic Resonance for BR though

[supple dock]

you can LMB snipers just as easily, but it carries a bigger risk

[supple dock]

agreed

[rigid sky]

You can make it work without

But it's sad as fuck

[supple dock]

mmhm

Get KR with a concentration stim with venting shriek?

You're pulling out 45k damage on a boss

[rigid sky]

EP brain rupture will sacrifice a bunch of damage from your kit

But the utility of it is crazy

[supple dock]

and as far as I understand, most psykers have trouble dealing damage to bosses

[mental grail]

Scryers w/a full stack of DD + Columnus is a boss deleter

[supple dock]

So if you're one of those, KR is your friend

[rigid sky]

When I end up having to clutch on my bubble Blaze trauma psyker, usually it's EP BR doing the important work

[supple dock]

Chain popping is so satisfying

Thin out the herd and kite

extremely safe too, no cost

[hardy stump]

is soulblaze getting good somehow? it seems to do so little, should I specc it? my staff even has soulblaze bonus on crit but feels like the points are wasted

[supple dock]

soulblaze is awesome

[rigid sky]

Depends on the source

Purgatus, Blaze trauma, creeping Flames, perilous combustion all good to great

[supple dock]

wildfire for specific setups too

[rigid sky]

Blazing force swords or voidstrike? Dogshit.

[rigid sky]

Less of a source, more of a copier, but yeah

[hardy stump]

why not on voidstrike?

[supple dock]

better options

[mental grail]

poor splash

[rigid sky]

Hits a very small area

[mental grail]

trauma is better

[marble crater]

Hey, I will let you know that blazing force sword is a lot of fun, but yes it's really not grat

[hardy stump]

whats the voidstrike niche even im not really sure I get it

[rigid sky]

Trauma hits a fucking huge area, way more than the damage bit

[mental grail]

Trauma has a wide splash radius

[supple dock]

we've had enough baits for the rest of the week ty

er

@marble crater

[rigid sky]

ST nuke with straight line hordeclear

[mental grail]

And purge has a cone of damage

[hardy stump]

im using mostly trauma right now and surge

[rigid sky]

And some small splash

Which synergises with DD optionally

[mental grail]

Being the best staff in the game

[marble crater]

what's that tag for?

[hardy stump]

but surge is sort of similar to void, light aoe high damage

[supple dock]

this monstrosity of a sentence

[rigid sky]

Void is more damage

And hits more targets

Surge is easier to spam

[hardy stump]

any must have talents for void?

[marble crater]

What's wrong with it? Setting things on fire with a sword is fun, but it's not good. I tested it

[hardy stump]

I assume warp flurry is also a must?

[supple dock]

realistically? imo soulstealer would be the biggest "must have" everytthing else is just what you want to do melee and blitz wise

that and warp rider

But that's implied

[mental grail]

warp flurry is the only mandatory talent IMO

It really is just great as is, any extra talents are just the cherry on top

[supple dock]

(that's a blessing)

[mental grail]

[hardy stump]

wheres the soulstealer talent? cant find it

blessing?

[mental grail]

I have flak armored and carapace for hard target deletion

[supple dock]

near the top, to the left

at the top*

[hardy stump]

ah yeah ok

[mental grail]

Though I've seen people pointlessly running unarmored

[supple dock]

it's your biggest lifeline to dealing with a group of shooters

[mental grail]

Basic charged clears w little issue

[supple dock]

and if you're feeling brave enough to charge down a group of gunners, gunner resistance curios allow you to face tank them for a short period

[mental grail]

I find dealing with the stacks of specialists/elites higher priority

Especially with the ass chasers in pubs

[supple dock]

[marble crater]

Specials in maelstrom earlier was stressful, praised be the surge staff

[supple dock]

dude my hands HURT from the maelstrom games I've played

Played like 7 of them today

[wide knoll]

Puts everything on its ass.

[supple dock]

shit's fucking hard

[marble crater]

I played two

[supple dock]

lmao i love this term for penance players that don't normally play maelstrom

[wide knoll]

I just can't do maelstrom....not yet...I'm gonna give it some time to cool down.

[supple dock]

skill issue or scared of ass chasers?

[wide knoll]

The title chasers are driving me nuts....

[supple dock]

so the latter

[wide knoll]

Affirmed.

[marble crater]

If I can do it then so can you, what the penances taught me is that I could have played maelstrom much sooner

[wide knoll]

I'm totally capable, but I play this game to have fun - not raise my blood pressure.

[high turret]

is battle meditation good

[marble crater]

Not really, no

[wide knoll]

The world-class quitting has drawn thin.

[supple dock]

debatable, though I personally don't care for it

[wide knoll]

Really depends on the build...I don't go out of my way to get it, but I'm used to running in the red anyway.

[supple dock]

#vox-lfg-nasa , find some players who are willing to actually play, no need to worry about pubs

[marble crater]

I was lucky with my games I guess, only had 2 people quit

[high turret]

you're saying that you don't immediately leave when you rush forward and die????

[marble crater]

I didn't use a DS, I wasn't rushing anywhere

[supple dock]

one of my favorite darktide moments was when I was sitting in a game waiting for people to join, a zealot joins the game while i'm waiting around, and I go to myself "He's gonna run off, get dogged, and leave isn't he"

...Then he does just that

[wide knoll]

For the discerning player.

[high turret]

average speedrunner experience

i had a zealot who joined and his only goal was to run ahead and get dogged

but he didnt even leave

[supple dock]

lmao

[high turret]

he just kept running ahead the minute he got rez'd

and got disabled

and took up a slot

[wide knoll]

RUN FORREST, RUN!

[marble crater]

Vote kick

[high turret]

after a while it was like having a really stupid dog that you love

[wide knoll]

Isn't that what people on PCP do?

[high turret]

so we kept him around

[high turret]

pcp?

[supple dock]

drug

[high turret]

oh lmfao

bruh i was thinking primary care provider

forgot that was a drug

[supple dock]

[wide knoll]

yeah.....jump off of buildings...break all their bones...then get up and keep running.

[supple dock]

a man in the medical field

[high turret]

i missed the part where people on pcp get jumped by disease ridden dogs

[wide knoll]

It's in the handbook.

[high turret]

i see

[supple dock]

bath salts turning people into face eating cannibals moment

[high turret]

darktide is the greatest anti-drug game maybe ever

[supple dock]

bruh our characters are literally addicted to stims in the oxygen

[high turret]

this is your meth husband

[supple dock]

idk if I wanna do 15 games without going down or 10 auric missions

[marble crater]

Do them at the same time

[supple dock]

why are you like this, but you are correct that I can do the 10 auric missions and it'll count

[marble crater]

You should already be at 5/10 auric now anyway

[supple dock]

I thought it was separate?

[marble crater]

No, I completed both the 5/5 and 10/10 with my last maelstrom

[supple dock]

huh.

[zinc star]

The 5 wins a row has to be done in maelstrom the 10 games in a row can be in any auric mission

[cinder moon]

it's just regular aurics for the mission string, ass is specifically maelstroms

[supple dock]

ye, i have the 5 am missions

[mental grail]

Literally first try with ur advice

[royal ibex]

lmao nice

[supple dock]

easy

[fluid skiff]

2 level 18s in a heresy maelstrom. why.

[supple dock]

[pallid spindle]

Does Shriek just... not affect enemies sometimes? I had a couple times recently when I hit it and things didn't get staggered or on fire despite being at high peril

[marble crater]

Visual bug maybe?

[mental grail]

What counts as a good laspistol?

[supple dock]

has happened to me a few times at odd angles

particularly if I'm trying to vent upwards or downwards

[upper galleon]

it has a weird angle and it can get stuck on weird stuff

[pallid spindle]

I wouldn't call it a weird angle. I think I grabbed a clip, gimme a minute

[wind spruce]

Vent isn't affected by the verticality of your camera, fyi

You can only aim it horizontally

[wind spruce]

Any accatran las pistol with dum dum on it. For stats you want high damage and stopping power

[supple dock]

huh. good to know

[pallid spindle]

there's like 1 enemy right next to me that gets staggered/fired

[wind spruce]

@pallid spindle mine definitely seems to bug out sometimes in the same way

[pallid spindle]

About a minute later...

[upper galleon]

i think it hit the pillar for this one

[upper galleon]

this one maybe the stack of crates but yea it's fatshark being stupid

[pallid spindle]

do you mean to say that an obstacle off to the side can somehow block the whole cone of an ability that normally goes through walls?

idgi

[upper galleon]

yes

[pallid spindle]

howmst

[upper galleon]

spaghetti

[supple dock]

VS goes through walls though wtf

[upper galleon]

code is warp spaghetti

yea but not every wall iirc, or i could be hallucinating past memory from warp energy,

[supple dock]

are you gaslighting me or are you gaslighting yourself

[upper galleon]

everyone

[supple dock]

Accepted

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

we're about to fight

[lethal lagoon]

What, why? I never did anything wrong.

[supple dock]

BRUH im about to throw hands

[lethal lagoon]

I'm so confused right now, why are you acting like this

[supple dock]

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

so i ordered some pizza from mod pizza

fucking love that place

shit's the best

[lethal lagoon]

Do you really love that place? Or are you just conditioned by your anxiety of ordering from a new menu?

[supple dock]

I've been trying different places lately!

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

So checkmate atheist

[lethal lagoon]

I recently found a subway that makes their bread the old school way, so I've been reliving my school days the last few weeks

Also an authetic indian place that makes me regret it the next day every single time

[mellow prairie]

hi

i'm big into force swords now. Even though I don't take frequent advantage of its distinguishing feature that sets it apart from the other melees (its "infinite" dodge)

[lethal lagoon]

They got rid of the infinite dodge, it's just like other weapons now

[mellow prairie]

but I used it recently and I like the charging up thing. It is good for taking care of hardier enemies

[mellow prairie]

oh OK. I wasn't dodging a lot with it anyways lol. I guess I never noticed

[mellow prairie]

I heard that the force swords were swining more vertically than the other melees. Therefore it was more difficult to clear hordes, compared to other weapons.

[lethal lagoon]

Also the Obscruros is probably the worst melee weapon in the game, Illy or Deimos are much better.

[spice veldt]

that's the deimos mk4 specifically

[mellow prairie]

On the topic, which force sword is better? In your guys' opinions.

[spice veldt]

depends
just pick the illisi or deimos depending on what you want

[lethal lagoon]

Illy for general horde clear, Deimos for more single target

[spice veldt]

obscurus is the one that is strictly worse than either

[mellow prairie]

I've only used the deimos mk iv, since it dropped for me

[mellow prairie]

OK, I will look more into the Illisi. I already have a Deimos.

[lethal lagoon]

With the Illy you can just spam left clicks on hordes and decimate them.

Heavy spam works too.

You can use the special with the heavies if you have the room to maunever.

Or on ragers/mixed elite hordes.

[mellow prairie]

That sounds up my alley. I'll have to go procure one.
Is there a specific Mk that I should be looking for?

[spice veldt]

if you don't special spam with the illisi, i'd just use the deimos

since performance with normal attacks for hordeclear is roughly the same between illisi heavy/light combo and consequently the deimos light combo

[mellow prairie]

The special, you are referring to the thing where it increases your peril and makes the sword shiny and do more damage?

[lethal lagoon]

No?

[spice veldt]

yes

[supple dock]

Slaughterer on Illisi and special attack the first swing to get full stacks, then use lights or heavies as needed and when there's an elite/specialist use special attack

[supple dock]

swing arcs suck ass for hording

[spice veldt]

sure but the attack pattern does not matter much when the cleave is limited and it suffers from weakspot cleave falloff

[supple dock]

like you can do it, but then again you can also do it with an axe

[lethal lagoon]

If it takes more effort for the same result, they are not equal.

[spice veldt]

except that axes are also one of the better hordeclear weapons as well...?

[mellow prairie]

So if I intend to light attack spam and horde clear, which is better? illisi or deimos

[spice veldt]

lightspam and heavy spam are similarly trivial to do though?

[mellow prairie]

To my understanding, unlike most other weapons, each force sword only has one Mk?

[supple dock]

has 3 now

[spice veldt]

there's nothing particularly different in terms of effort between light/heavy spam on illisi, or between the illisi light/heavy spam and deimos light spam

[spice veldt]

nah that's the staffs

each force staff is its own mark
but the force swords do indeed count as a single category of weapons (thus sharing a blessing pool)

[mellow prairie]

The obscurus only comes in mark 2, the deimos only comes in mark 4, and the illisi only comes in mark 5. There are no other variants? Or are the different names the "variants" of the main weapon (force sword)

[spice veldt]

the different names and/or marks are the different variants

the name after the mark # indicates the weapon family that they belong to

e.g., all three of them are "Blaze Force Swords"

[mellow prairie]

oh ok

[spice veldt]

the names to the left of that are just flavor and to distinguish the variants

[supple dock]

deimos for single target, illisi for hording, and we don't talk about obscurous

[mellow prairie]

ok I'll get my hands on an Illisi and try it out. I already have a Deimos

thanks for the advice y'all

i'll come back when I hit max level and intend on modding them

I intend to reroll them in the future, I think. I'd rather first get a "perfect" force sword than a well-rolled ranged weapon, so I'll look forward to that

[supple dock]

the sword matters less than the staff imo

[mellow prairie]

I've not had good experiences with the staff previously 😗

[supple dock]

you need talents and blessings

then staves become monstrous

[mellow prairie]

probably, most likely.

I've yet to try out the other Psyker weapons though

mostly autoguns and lasguns have been dropping for me

i've yet to try out the autopistol or the revolvers

[mellow prairie]

whatis the difference between the Agripinaa and Zarona? I understand it that one of them is for close range and the other is for long range? So I've heard. But I don't understand which is which. Both have "High Damage" and "Precise" specializations

[spice veldt]

agripinaa is the fanning revolver
lower damage & cleave per shot but faster reload

it's considered the worst revolver of the two since it suffers from inaccuracy and has less cleave

[lethal lagoon]

Having to aim that weird ass animated poke is not equal effort, and I really don't see in the first place that the horde clear is equal

[mental grail]

Illisi is super kino at horde clearing

my go to sword on most builds

though I like force swords a little too much

[spice veldt]

but it's a horde

just aim at horizontal head level

i haven't bothered to test after patch 13, but illisi and deimos light spam were equal prior, and illisi heavy spam was only faster than light spam by 2 seconds (somewhere around the range of 28 seconds to 26 seconds), tested on 40 poxwalkers stacked on top of each other

attack pattern just doesn't mean very much if crit/weakspot damage multis drop after the first target hit

[brave fiber]

cant decide which is better for the life of me

[spice veldt]

and force swords unfortunately belong to the majority class of weapons where their crit/weakspot damage multis do indeed drop down to 1.15x after the first target hit (besides illisi's special, which trades in a lower weakspot/crit multi in exchange for maintaing it for the first three targets hit)

[lunar hollow]

illisi's unarmored min cleave damage is over 10x that of a paul comparing heavies

something to think about

[spice veldt]

wh

[supple dock]

first, the one with 78% damage

[lunar hollow]

paul

illisi

[lethal lagoon]

That's a test that heavily favors deimos no?

[supple dock]

illisi is good because it can handle the unpredictability of hordes imo

[lethal lagoon]

26 seconds for 40 poxxies also sounds like a long ass time for an Illsi. Ima have to test that on a stack myself. Were you using greys?

[cosmic sigil]

we are know in the skudieverse

[wind spruce]

the most f^ck you end to a solo auric mael
https://outplayed.tv/media/2EGxKV

[upper galleon]

got shot like a bird

[spice veldt]

sure yeah?
the point is that the difference is just not that much

and if you're not spamming the special, just use the deimos because it has the l1 and h2 stab

that's the point

the point isn't whether which one is better at hordeclear
it's whether which one has the better normals

because if you're not using the illisi's special, the only metric are the normals

i don't see what is debatable about this

[hollow current]

The one with higher stopping power and the ability to change maniac to unyielding.

[brave fiber]

i feel like maniac is just so good on columnus tho

[hollow current]

you can roll however you want baby. I just prefer unyielding to melt bosses.

[brave fiber]

fair enough, it does nutty damage to bosses i can see how that would be great

[potent echo]

Most guns have low maniac so you can shore up it's weaknesses

Or just build it's strengths

[supple dock]

melee weapons are strong vs mutant anyways

[woven onyx]

Anyone here know a good firearm to use if i was going for a high crit dps build in Scriers gaze?

[potent echo]

Laspistol

Ciag

[woven onyx]

I'm more of a columbus person so i suppose i'll go with that

The mk. 5 at that

[potent echo]

iLas technically decent if you have deadly accurate but idk if it wins laspistol or not

[supple dock]

shredder would be my pick

but i'm just a fan of that little monster

[woven onyx]

I'd ask bout the recon las gun with any combo of headhunter with either dum dum or infernus maybe, but columbus may just be the better choice for me

"Fury does not a victor make!"

[potent echo]

SAP has horrendous crit modifiers

72.53 bodyshot / 94.29 crit bodyshot lol

[supple dock]

that's terrible. still an awesome gun

[potent echo]

i wouldnt use it on a crit focused built

[supple dock]

yee

fair enough

but so satisfying

[potent echo]

yea

[woven onyx]

Ye, for me it's a ciag, recon las with infernus or dum dum, and maybe a headhunter with deadly accurate

[steep loom]

can someone give me the breakdown on the different dueling swords

[potent echo]

mk4

[gilded marten]

is this a good trauma staff?

[potent echo]

does double the damage compared to the others

no reason

mk5 dodges better though

thats about it

[supple dock]

DS4 has the best horde control lights and heavy attacks for armored it's just an insane weapon

[potent echo]

sure

[steep loom]

👍

[potent echo]

62% should still be able to oneshot bruisers at full charge

[gilded marten]

its on the armoury exchange i tend to buy it

[supple dock]

idk man 62% is brutally low

i personally wouldn't bother

[potent echo]

damage rarely matters on trauma

you still gonna throw elites everywhere

at most you need 1 extra boom

[supple dock]

I guess the stagger is good enough to not worry about it too much

[potent echo]

which is totally manageable because they would already be on the floor

[supple dock]

yeah

[potent echo]

reeling

[supple dock]

i gotcha. i still wouldn't get it but then again i like big number

so i have evolved into a knife psyker

[gilded marten]

which blessing is good for trauma staff? i knew rending shockwave is one

flurry or nexus?

[potent echo]

You can do the flurry / rending

Or the blaze / nexus

Up to personal preference

[gilded marten]

ah

[potent echo]

https://youtu.be/8sj-V9yVPFs

Example of blaze trauma

[gilded marten]

does higher rating gives better blessing or just RNG?

[potent echo]

Maybe, no one knows for sure

But within the 350 - 380 it's hard to tell

So I wouldn't worry too much

[gilded marten]

oh and what about the perks for trauma staff

[lethal lagoon]

Rending/Flurry sucks, it's just the only other alternative to Nexus/Blazing.

[potent echo]

for blaze you want critchance / ___

rending / flurry you want flak / ___

[lethal lagoon]

5% crit and 25% flak is the standard.

[supple dock]

+2 stamina

[gilded marten]

ah

[supple dock]

no im kidding

[lethal lagoon]

Hi kidding

[potent echo]

rending is really nice whenever someone else on the team runs it

[supple dock]

my first knife pls judge

[gilded marten]

so flak and maniacs dmg would be nice? for rending / flurry?

[potent echo]

depends on what you roll

i'll take flak / whatever

[lethal lagoon]

I wouldn't call it nice, but that would be one of the better options.

Also you can't run 62% damage at all for a rending flurry

[gilded marten]

that means im fucked lmao?

[lethal lagoon]

You can kind of get away with it on blazing

show your staff

[gilded marten]

😐

[potent echo]

blaze trauma cultists will say anything to get you on their side

[lethal lagoon]

🔇

[lethal lagoon]

I mean it's not great, but you can run it just to see if you even like how trauma plays

Though it will admittedly be a weak version

[lethal lagoon]

TBF, we usually do the opposite

Plz buff

[potent echo]

blaze trauma bad

[supple dock]

kusu bad

ban

[sacred crane]

tips on how to get cliffhanger? its the only achievement I need to gain the "For the emporer" in all three tiers

[delicate walrus]

how this? worth trying to get one with cara/maniac? i heard maniac is BiS for it to get 1 shot mutie breakpoints? but im gettin 3k dmg on mutie headshot so id be close but not enough to actually one shot.

and idk how riposte ranks these days, it sounds rampage is actually proc-able now?

[lethal lagoon]

A normal l1 will proc rampage, yes.

As for it's worth, personal choice.

[sacred crane]

riposte aint that bad, its pretty good if you dodge a lot in combat

[lethal lagoon]

The pipe at the end of hab dreyko

There's one spot at the curve where they just pour on one spot

Hab dreyko is the annoying one with the investigation at the big tree

[delicate walrus]

hmm aight, ill guess ill stick with this for now. i mostly just whip it out for mobility and crushers/maulers/zerkers. see if another good base one comes up eventually and try for maniac on that

seems like its a 2 shot on zerker heads either way once uncanny is ramped up

and mutie breakpoint doesn't seem worth it? idk

[sacred crane]

should i use a force sword or the shriek?

[lethal lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[sacred crane]

fair point

[plucky flax]

[magic kayak]

I am guessing I switch out the unyielding for flak or something?

[supple dock]

carapace

or unyielding actually

but yeah void strike staff can eat most enemies np

[magic kayak]

so leave unyielding and maybe just increase by 5%

[supple dock]

carapace will see more use overall

[magic kayak]

thats what I was thinking too

and I have bb for bosses

[native kite]

trying to do the Monstrosity and 4 Specials penance, and every group so far has pretty much just murder hobo'd every special before i can even get one. v.v; anyone able to join a party?

[thick tiger]

MK 2 Laspistol with Infernus 3 or MK V Infantry autogun with dum dum 3? I haven't unlocked the 5 weak spot = guaranteed crit feat yet. My melee is illisi

Iag works better for my needs I think after testing it in psykhanium

[thick tiger]

I love how Melk loves me now that I'm playing as a Psyker, when he used to berate me as a Veteran

[rigid sky]

I think the second one you mentioned is 4 elites?

[native kite]

yeah i got lucky and did a elite up spawn at the last second so no one was in it and was able to rush and get it. now just the monstrosity one

[violet granite]

and there it goes

[cloud sequoia]

1 dmg taken psyker

[plucky flax]

Dog got me once and the mission is immediately lost.

[rigid sky]

It's easier on veteran imo

Plus you can get the no melee damage taken penance simultaneously

VoC op

[cloud sequoia]

EP BB is fun

you are like walking turret

[rigid sky]

My girlfriend wanted a warmup heresy game because it had been a few days for her, I got like halfway through the mission on Archivum Sycorax before I realised I hadn't taken a single hit from anything

[dim parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/to-be-continued-snoop-dogg-smile-gif-14210709

[rigid sky]

So I just played super cautious after until the end and made it

[plucky flax]

I felt so bad.

[cloud sequoia]

wait it didnt say what difficulty

going to run sedition

[dim parrot]

I know, I probably would have taken a short break after that

[plucky flax]

Tried my ass off the whole round. Saving people, etc. I got dogged and what did they do? Ignored me.

[dim parrot]

real

me everytime I try to save anyone, but if im downed even once its over

also dogged

[plucky flax]

I pinged look here on my own corpse and waited until it chewed me to death.

[cloud sequoia]

got dogged once while playing ogryn

my health from 500hp to 40hp

[dim parrot]

that shit is so relatable its actually not even funny

[cloud sequoia]

the dog got bored it left me

[dim parrot]

why are so many players like this

[cloud sequoia]

it was chewing me for full 2 min

[plucky flax]

I think there's a timer on dog actually.

If you have super big hp it leaves after a while.

[cloud sequoia]

yea

[dim parrot]

if they know I saved them multiple times from things, shouldn't they be grateful and priorities my safety over there's?

[royal ibex]

anyone here with the 4.5k penance point armor, can you tell me if you basically have to do every penance to get it , or was it like 80% of them

[plucky flax]

I think max points is 4800 or 4900.

[royal ibex]

so what you're saying is i can actively avoid playing zealot and still get it, thank fuck

[cinder moon]

me, in the voice of the male agitator whenever teammates ignore my downed plight: “BETRAYER!”

[lethal lagoon]

I think dogs leave if you are the last person up sometimes.
Like if you get dogged, and then over time your entire team get's disabled/downed.

[lethal lagoon]

I don't think so ^, I've had it leave on every class at this point

That would be a good argument for 3 health curios on Og I guess though

[plucky flax]

[cinder moon]

wololo

[radiant frigate]

wololo

[plucky flax]

Vet penances done. Zealot and ogryn left.

[plucky flax]

Don't you love loner, out of cohenrency, and having to backstab kill on range units only?

Should be just loner and out of cohenrency on any type of enemies no backstab required.

[royal ibex]

i hate zealot full stop

[plucky flax]

[radiant frigate]

but it's called behind enemy lines!

behind enemy firing lines!

behind, so backstab!

[plucky flax]

Yeah then you go out of stealth and they all turn around.

No more backstab.

[radiant frigate]

YES

though to be fair

if you pull some fancy flanking moves

you can still get backstabs

the final kill for that penance was out of stealth for me

[plucky flax]

This guy said he only has 2 penances left and he's 100%.

[radiant frigate]

it made me do some fancy footwork

[plucky flax]

One of them is barrel kills.

[royal ibex]

ask him how many penance points he has

[plucky flax]

He said 4885.

[royal ibex]

ohno

[plucky flax]

So he's missing one +10 and one +5.

[royal ibex]

so i gotta find 400 penance points to avoid doing

[plucky flax]

A lot of the missions type penances will take a long time to do all.

[marble crater]

Speed run

[plucky flax]

The 5000 kills with ogryn heavy attacks at 5 stacks gonna take a long time for me.

[radiant frigate]

it is just 5k kills

unspecified source

[plucky flax]

It counts if you're at 5 stacks then use kickbackk?

[radiant frigate]

yes

[plucky flax]

[marble crater]

Weirdly enough bleed doesn't seem to count though

[thick tiger]

Consecrating a 323 base stat zarona revolver on my level 24 Psyker cause I'm bored, the Hand-cannon 3 blessing I spent hours looking for on my Veteran:

It was handcannon not headhunter

Should I continue consecrating it? Even though I will be sure to get a zarona with better base stats later on?

[marble crater]

If you are planning to use it while you are still leveling then sure why not

[lethal lagoon]

I think the levels from 1-24 and 24-30 aren't that much different time wise.

Depending on what diff you played on

So yee, why not.

Every orange is about 42.3 minutes of gameplay, no biggie

[plucky flax]

This is blaze trauma with 100% all stats. They should buff it to this at the very least and it'll be useable.
Against a bazillion elites and trash mobs.

The charge speed

[marble crater]

Please buff

[lethal lagoon]

Weaker than my stomach on a sunday afternoon

🤢

[plucky flax]

With 100% quell speed and warp resist you can quell for 1 tick from 100% lol

Might be a bit op if red blaze trauma is a real thing.

(Would pay $10 for it)

[lethal lagoon]

Red staves are definitely not going to be balanced for a long time

[plucky flax]

Lemme try 100% all stats surge

[lethal lagoon]

I need to go, so please @ me so I can look at it in a few hours

[plucky flax]

I can tell you 100% warp resis illisi is really bad.

4% peril generatinon per special

Can't get it up.

[lethal lagoon]

[plucky flax]

With buffs and +25 maniac it's very easy to 2 or 3 shots mutie.

[thick tiger]

3500 Penance Psyker upper body cosmetic is just beautiful, meanwhile every other upper body cosmetic for psyker on the way to 3500 are just worse looking versions of easy to get penance rewards

[swift moss]

the gold chestplate one?

that one is awesome

[thick tiger]

Yep

It has those wires on the arms too, I don't think there is another one like that apart from the thought witch one which looks different and has less wires

[mighty olive]

That chest is amazing

[thick tiger]

Its annoying how every single Psykana hood cosmetic clips through almost every upper body cosmetic, even the ones that are bundled/set with each other.

[rigid sky]

Ed Balls.

[marble crater]

There is green one with wires on the arms, or is that the one you meant

[thick tiger]

Yeah that's the one, that one has less wires and connects differently, although I would use it as well

[marble crater]

If only it wasn't green

[ancient latch]

guys

is wilfdire shit?

[thick tiger]

I have carapace 20%+ damage on my zarona, I should probably change that to maniac 25%+ right? After headshotting a rager, scab and dreg flamer they are left with maybe like 20% or so health

[plucky flax]

No.

[marble crater]

Well test if you can one shot them with the change, if not switch back to carapace

[thick tiger]

I mean wouldn't that waste some plasteel

[marble crater]

A little yeah

[thick tiger]

They are left with maybe a little less than half, not 20%, so maybe not

[marble crater]

Yeah then probably not

[rigid sky]

It's OK.

It's never a priority, it's worse than it sounds but also better than it sounds if that makes sense?

[upper sun]

all weapons should have all 80 in all stats

[hearty dagger]

Weird opinion but i think DD should highlight enemies for teammates as well

Plus give stacks for teammate kills

[upper sun]

i agree

[rigid sky]

Eh, maybe a third subnode for it that's mutually exclusive with duration or stack size

I much prefer the higher power, selfish fantasy part of it

Part of the balance is that I need to ensure certain enemies die on my personal terms

And part of the Psyker Experience

The idea is that you are gaining power by killing enemies that were not destined to die by your hand

Your will is gaining dominance over the inevitable flow of the universe

[plucky flax]

Mfw zealot get buff from just any enemies died within range.

[gloomy magnet]

zealot x
necromancer v

[urban sandal]

and I think brain burst should be able to lock onto an enemy through walls/obstacles as long as they're tagged

a man can dream

but these things likely won't happen

[hearty dagger]

When you say it like that, it does sound cooler

Also, on the topic of mutually exclusive nodes, something that lets you maintain your stacks without killing tagged enemies would also be nice to have

[rigid sky]

If you just hit them it refreshes

[hearty dagger]

Maybe something like every time you land a critical headshot, it pauses the decay for a small period

Yeah, though my main problem isn't that, it's how sometimes you just have a massive marked enemy drought

Usually during hordes

[rigid sky]

That just needs an ai update I think

[thick tiger]

Is the spectating mode trustable, as in does it show the player actions accurately? I keep seeing players who are above level 30 +30 that look like they are playing with a steering wheel

[rigid sky]

There should never not be a target

And targets should never be allowed to be out of bounds

[rigid sky]

Maybe a controller?

[paper lily]

spec mode can vary

but if it looks like steering wheel its prob a controller

[hearty dagger]

Imho target should be visible in LoS

If target isn't in LoS for say, 5 seconds, swap target to another viable one in LoS

[upper sun]

every fucking game i have the audacity of trying to do the shield penance

theres some bubble enjoyer slapping a bubble around my wall

[marble crater]

top tier trolling

[hearty dagger]

Might have been me a bit earlier since that exact scenario happened

If it was Montov that did that, my apologies the button was already pressed

[marble crater]

Had a mission with me as chorus zealot and another chorus zealot, we used it at the same time way too many times both standing there "Repent!"

[thick tiger]

Thoughts on Warp expenditure (10 peril gain= 2.5% toughness)? How well does it work with blocking increasing peril instead of reducing stamina?

[paper lily]

that talent is basically inferior in every way to quietude

it is also anti synergistic with peril reduction nodes iirc

[marble crater]

Warp Expenditure, not great. Kinetic Deflection, very great

[dusk void]

Anyone trying to do this smite penance? I freaking hate it, and I hate using smite

[marble crater]

Are you using EP smite and shriek?

[dusk void]

Yes

I just hate the smite ability

[marble crater]

Then keep on smiting hordes
Not the best penance, yeah

[strong gulch]

IDK if it's true or not, but I remember someone saying that they were getting progress on the smite penance with the surge staff secondary.

If that's true, it might be a way to help with progress that isn't smite.

[dusk void]

Or smite the hordes and the rest of your team can shoot them down. That also counts for your smite penance

[strong gulch]

ye

[hearty dagger]

Siblings, i have completed all psyker penances

And all i got was this stupid insignia

[plucky flax]

[strong gulch]

Yip.

congrats anyways

[marble crater]

that looks like the wrong picture?

[small valve]

you guys think psykers would like weighted blankets?

[hearty dagger]

it's the penances tab in general

[hearty dagger]

As a psyker, i would commit unspeakable deeds for a weighted blanket

[small valve]

I like weighted blankets

[upper sun]

yes

[strong gulch]

I want one. There's weighted sweatshirts too.

[small valve]

I'll stick with blanket

[dusk void]

The SG and DD penances seem interesting. Any tips on which gun I should use? I’m thinking the Columbus MK II / MK V, but I’m still undecided.

[thick tiger]

First time getting an out of memory error in Darktide, or any other game from what I can remember, couldn't the game just use the ssd as the virtual memory? Other games do it, pretty sure all things on windows should do it

[marble crater]

Columnus infantry auto gun

[thick tiger]

Like yeah you get worse performance for a while, but the game doesn't crash.

[strong gulch]

If doing guns for the SG penance, then I vote Columbus.

If staff, void is good.

Do battle meditation talent and hallway maps.

[dusk void]

I spelled that wrong 😂

[hearty dagger]

For DD go with either columnus or voidstrike staff

Don't run scriers; it's not really necessary

[small valve]

I just used brain burst for DD

[hearty dagger]

This man is so incredibly based he neutralizes sulfuric acid

[small valve]

it's efficient

[strong gulch]

For the SG penance it is. Probably trying to combine penance farming.

[dusk void]

For the blitz, assial, right?

[small valve]

kill only what you need dead before your teammates even see them yet

[hearty dagger]

Yeah

[hearty dagger]

Fair

[hearty dagger]

Assail and high DD stacks are absolutely terrifying

[strong gulch]

Assail for gun and smite for void, but since you hate smite then assail for both.

[dusk void]

Thanks, now all I need is to change my gunker build

[gleaming turtle]

Guys, i need a advice
What kind of stat you need for a good surge staff actually ? This one is good ?

[hearty dagger]

Personally Voidstrike can be great with DD too since you can punch through chaff to get to your marked target

[marble crater]

Charge speed is way too low

[dusk void]

Can the Demois sword work with the gunker? Cuz I don’t have a good illisi sword

[marble crater]

Surge staff is one of those where you actually benefit from having flat stats, all in the high 70s for example

[upper sun]

tbh

range for charge rate isnt so bad

should be around 1.1 sec for that rate?

[upper sun]

inspect it pls

[marble crater]

But you charge all the time, it adds up

[paper lily]

warp resistance is my dump stat on surge

[marble crater]

Great guess

[strong gulch]

Charge rate is a low. Stats of importance is damage, warp resistance, charge rate / quell speed, and crit bonus.

If this is an upgrade, provided it rolls well, then go for it.

[paper lily]

quell speed matters a ton on staves

[mighty cipher]

It matters depending on playstyle.

[strong gulch]

Quell speed is important. Damage on surge is more important. Quell speed is also less of an issue than it used to be.

But play style and preference matters.

[paper lily]

i guess, it can make the difference between 1 or 2 tick quelling for high peril

[strong gulch]

Also talents. If you get the quell faster talent or not.

[paper lily]

a mediocre quell speed roll is also catastrophic for actually quelling

like 50% quell speed you might as well swap to blitz and quell

[upper sun]

called that shit lmao

[plucky flax]

Range scab only. Time to play the scuffed purga bubble ep build.

[upper sun]

anyhow surge should be fine with flurry

[rigid sky]

Ended up realising Solidity is actually pretty good for surge/smite build

[hexed storm]

Can't post pictures yet so I'll have to do with typing, surge staff for a smite build with the following:

362 base:
78 dmg
79 warp res
80 quell
80 crit bonus
46 charge rate
Blessings:
Warp flurry 4
Terrifying barrage 3 (planning to change to warp nexus)
Perks:

• 20 dmg (flak)
  +25% dmg unyield
  Is it any good ?

[paper lily]

it's insane for those

a surge staff like that will work

you just have an obvious upgrade route

[hexed storm]

Barrage to nexus ?

[paper lily]

yea, i mean it's not like you've got much choice with surge really

[hexed storm]

Jhea, just need to get the bloody blessing from another staff

[paper lily]

just make sure it's another surge staff

[hexed storm]

jhea lol

[cold ivy]

i learned way too late that different staff types don't share blessings... it was an expensive lesson at the time but now that i'm branching out, the blessings i harvested on other staves a long time ago are coming in handy now

[thick tiger]

What to replace here, I want easy horde clear, and maybe the occasional elite kill. I'm level 28, so this is just a temporary weapon.

I also have savage sweep 2, not shown here

[rigid sky]

I mean 46 charge rate is pretty bad

But it's a decent temporary take

[thick tiger]

Which enemies is bloodletter generally useful for?

[marble crater]

Elites, bosses?

[thick tiger]

I don't know why I assumed bleed stacks wouldn't work on armored enemies, right

[rigid sky]

I don't know what the ADM would be tbh

[thick tiger]

I've seen people say that chainsword does not cleave much

[rigid sky]

Chainsword's a cleave machine though

At least if you take a Cleave blessing

[thick tiger]

Would Wrath 2 do the job?

[rigid sky]

I think the XIIIg prefers Wrath and the IV prefers savage sweep? But I might be mistaken

Because the XIIIg horde clears on lights, which stacks Wrath faster

[thick tiger]

Going by the veteran guide I have open, you're right, but I also want to keep 1 modification for the perks, are the perks good on their own?

[rigid sky]

IV is mostly heavies which stacks it slower, so savage sweep is better

Buuuut if you wanna use bloodletter

You might not wanna make a Cleavey one

Or maybe you hybrid it

I guess

Since we get tons of random damage boosts through warp rider etc

[thick tiger]

Hmm, not sure if rampage would work without a cleave blessing to go with it, I'm fine without bloodletter

[marble crater]

Just use an illisi

[thick tiger]

Emperor must have given me this transcendant chainsword for a reason

[jaunty tiger]

Vet guide doesn't apply to zealot/psyker

For example

Zealot does not need bloodletter to make the revs not shit

Idk I thought this was zel chat for a sec kek

Either way careful about using it as ref for other classes

I gave a lot of input and discussion with the person that wrote it and it was 100 percent written with the vet tree in mind solely

[thick tiger]

I understand. Wait, chainsword rev attack is bad without bloodletter?

[jaunty tiger]

On vet yes

[thick tiger]

On psyker?

[jaunty tiger]

Idk

[rigid sky]

It's OK for certain targets

Like you wanna rev to hit a mutant going past

Even without bloodletter

It doesn't do shit to Crushers or bosses though

[jaunty tiger]

No bloodletter rev means it doesn't kill bulwarks, maulers, needs heavy for ragers and mutants, needs 3 revs for crushers which is insanely slow

Bloodletter turns bulwark and mauler into 1 shot

Lights are fine on rager and mutants now

Crushers go down in 2 revs

Still kinda shitty for crushers but acceptable in a pinch at least

[rigid sky]

I feel like it depends on what you want the chainsword to do

[jaunty tiger]

Yeah

[rigid sky]

If you pair it with a plasma

[jaunty tiger]

It loses efficiency on horde for sure by taking bloodletter

I tested it (on vet)

[rigid sky]

It's fine for it to not have bloodletter

[jaunty tiger]

50 poxwalkers

Bloodletter with savage takes 12 hits to clear

[rigid sky]

But if you wanna pair it with like CIAG then put bloodletter on it

[jaunty tiger]

Savage rampage takes 9

So it's like

25 percent slower?

Which is fairly significant

Just depends on what you wanna do yeah

[thick tiger]

If I wanna pair it with zarona with head-cannon 3?

[jaunty tiger]

Probably focus on horde then

[thick tiger]

Make sense

[rigid sky]

Then you probably want to be a horde clearer

[jaunty tiger]

Zarona already delete all elites and specials

[rigid sky]

Savage sweep rampage for sure

Again presuming mark IV

Idk XIIIg, never used it

[thick tiger]

Yep mark IV

[jaunty tiger]

I heard shred instead of rampage might be better from zel chat

Because of no falloff on cleaving with crits or something idk, unique to the chainsword mind you

It's not something I've tested or tried myself though

[thick tiger]

Should I save 1 modification chance by keeping wrath 2 instead of replacing it with shred 3 or savage sweep 2?

[jaunty tiger]

Keep the wrath and change bloodletter yeah

Wrath is fine

[austere crest]

its processing so may be low res for another 30 or so, heres the Warp Rupture no keystone/no soulblaze build

Damage and warp resistance

Because damage doesn't affect the damage from burn

[mental grail]

Wait people pair CIAG with chainsword?

Bro I gotta try this

[rigid sky]

tbh idk

I guess you can pair like anything with anything really for veteran

since your grenades can cover your weaknesses

Mine is to pair with my plasma

so mine's a savage sweep/rampage iirc

[radiant frigate]

i pair power sword with things

[plucky flax]

Press f and spam columbus.

Hoover all ammo.

[rigid sky]

Usual build is DS4 with +carapace, +maniac, uncanny and whatever second blessing you prefer, combined with a dum dum CIAG

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9bea9c7a-9886-4a48-b19b-6448990d1ead I run this

pick either side of the disrupt destiny mutual exclusives

but probably take duration until you're sure you can get away without having it

[mental grail]

I run assail with mine to help with ammo sometimes

[plucky flax]

Yep you can go either dd or ep. Both with assail to help with ammo.

I actually prefer creeping flames over gazer for gun even. But it's up to you.

[brave fiber]

gunker is absolutely insane with dd, i prefer it over going into more of a hybrid build

[thick tiger]

I upgraded one trauma stave and got warp nexus 3 and then unfortunately terrifying barrage, upgraded another trauma stave got another warp nexus 3. I think warp nexus is a good blessing, right?

[brave fiber]

it is the best

[thick tiger]

Nice, what should I replace terrifying barrage with?

[brave fiber]

depends what you want outta trauma, blazing spirit for blaze trauma or rending shockwave for debuff trauma

flurry isnt bad either

[thick tiger]

I kind of want an elite enemy killer, but doesn't really matter, I also have flurry, if I were to use warp flurry with warp nexus, what kind of focus would the gun have? Secondary fire is the circle aoe damage dealing one right?

I'm guessing it would be horde clear focused?

[rigid sky]

Two main options are flurry+rending shovkwave, or nexus+blazing spirit

The crits aren't that exciting if they don't have blazing spirit so mixing the two isn't ideal

Make this a fire trauma and maybe make another for shockwave

[marble crater]

And then never use the shockwave one

[thick tiger]

Gotcha, blazing spirit is tier 4 only right?

[marble crater]

Tier 3 only

[thick tiger]

Great

[rigid sky]

The blazing spirit version is way more fun imo

Here is a gameplay trailer of it in action:

https://youtu.be/WObQK2vunAk?si=2UVQPDQGwPsz48Zb

[thick tiger]

Got the blazing spirit, I have 2 perks, can only change one, 4% range crit chance, or 8% ranged elite damage, which one should I change and to what?

[fluid skiff]

Huh. Very interesting.

I noticed there were times when you'd begin charging the staff for like half a second and switch to BB and it charged up very fast, is that some kind of charge time manipulation tech?

You definitely know what you're doing, but this looks too high skill for me to attempt to emulate lol

[plucky flax]

Elite to flak.

[willow hazel]

everyone just leaves the moment they go down noww

idk if it's making games easier or harder

[modern owl]

what is a good bubble psyker build?

[brave fiber]

any build that has issues with gunners/snipers

[lapis violet]

voidstrike psyker wildin

but, big man has surge on the voidstrike so i can't say a word

[rigid sky]

So new DD is the tits

10s duration version very comfy

[long wharf]

yep, it's actually good now

especially with the way it selects subsequent DD targets

[rigid sky]

It was always good

It was just punishing and clunky

[stable silo]

psyker the most played char? i see a TON

[rigid sky]

Most varied gameplay

Recent buffs

Some people felt super dependent on vet ammo aura, so with the nerf they gravitate to the one class that can totally opt out of ammo issues,

But at the same time, gun lovers like it because we also use guns really well

[plucky flax]

Hrm I still think vet and zealot more. Ogryns least by far.

[rigid sky]

And got buffs in that direction

[plucky flax]

Personally I prefer to be the only psyker on the team tho

[stable silo]

my last 4 damnation matches were quadra psyker

same haha

i think im gonna have to run my zealot more so i can mindlessly spam lights

[plucky flax]

Too many psykers interfiere with my psychic power.

[fluid skiff]

if there are too many psykers they hog all the warp

[tacit bobcat]

wait so everyones leaving when they go down to avoid the 'dying' part of the auric storm penance? that what im understanding?

that y these goons keeps dc'ing?

[plucky flax]

Yep.

It's so cheap.

[fluid skiff]

it can be a technique to prevent team wipes, though that doesn't seem like what you're describing.

[plucky flax]

People playing scared to not die yet still die.

[fluid skiff]

oh and definitely not in auric

[tacit bobcat]

[thick tiger]

Is MK IV duelling sword strongly recommended for blazing spirit trauma staff? What about other single target focused melee weapons like maybe MK 2 Combat Axe (good blessings but 55% penetration stat)

[plucky flax]

DS4 more damage.

[fluid skiff]

I've only used it intentionally in one match so far, where it was a heresy maelstrom with two level 18s and we nearly wiped twice despite mine and the other level 30's efforts.

[plucky flax]

You won't be using your sword too much.

Well at least when I play blaze trauma, I spend 98% of the round on my staaff.

So I take either ds4/5 for movement, or illisi for deflector.

[marble crater]

I played scared to die, didn't die. Also didn't leave when I was down. My secret was doing easy maelstroms

[plucky flax]

Yeah for psyker hunting ground and melee scab only are ez.

Anything but green bois.

(Why my surge/smite/trauma don't stun them? )

[marble crater]

Specialist, hunting grounds, surge smite, easy

I had more problems keeping up with my team if they were all using knifes

[plucky flax]

Time to equip knife too.

[marble crater]

I will test it on zealot first when I do those awful penances

[plucky flax]

Knife is super op on zealot though.

On vet and psyker it's good but not as good. The attack speed is cray cray.

[marble crater]

I will turn my right trigger into a hair trigger, should be fine

[feral verge]

knife is worst on psyker

because dueling sword is better in every single metric, except knife has slightly better mobility

i'd personally only ever consider using knife on vet

especially when paired with a low mobility gun, like bolter

[willow hazel]

the knife has better horde clear than a dueling sword

and a better push attack to pair with psykers stamina regen

but the mk4 is just OP

[plucky flax]

I like mk6 knife on vet and psyker. On zealot both mk3 and 6 are good because knife is made for the class.

[strong gulch]

@lethal lagoon Almost perfect hot off that hadron presses.

[lethal lagoon]

Once they fix LMB unyielding damage, it will be the meta. I swear it.

[strong gulch]

What mod shows elapsed time in a mission?

[patent wing]

me too but i enjoy a bubble smite psyker when i play purge
