Aayy tru
But yeah, doing it like this would probably distract me too much lmao
But now I know it's an option
u can quell cancel the weapon swap timer
I'd still have the buffs and dodges centred though.
speaking of cancelling can someone tell me how i did this
๐ค
btw, I feel like I could get both Endurance (20% TDR during Gaze) and a +15 toughness node on my gunker if I took off faster assail regen.
the real question is should I do it?
Psyker is a class that exemplifies that idea
That looks like lag sibling
unless ur perma blocking idk why you'd run stamina on psyker
zoomies and knife push attack abuse
Zoomies
๐
gotta go fast
๐ค
yeah but u can move at sprint speed constantly with rapier heavies
idk
Knife on zealot is the ultimate class fantasy fulfillment. Mach speed ultra instinct

I use assail on gunker mostly just for ranged toughness gain via Soulstealer while also saving ammo...
It's for knify heavies
it only happens with surge
im pretty sure you can keep knife heavies going while regaining stamina too
If you're only using assail for specific circumstances you can probably do without then
I wouldn't recommend it, but you also have to find out how you want to play
If we are talking max spd, no, there is some regen to be had, but it'll still go to 0 eventually.
Tank crusher overhead. 
eh 1 stamina curio and kd lets you do basically anything you want in that department
unpossible unforunately
can tank it with a devilclaw
I tank it with my triple hp curios. 
I can be more careless about my stamina useage though
tbh I just like not losing all my toughness to horde during Gaze because I rushed into melee, and want some extra toughness sustain...
unless... I could always run Expenditure for a small amount of quick toughness gain during the start of Gaze...
Psyker's entire shtick is "don't get hit" If you're getting hit by going melee into hordes you need to see why you're getting hit at all, beacuse it shouldn't happen unless you mess up
I'm not trying to talk down to your or anything
4 dodge DS4 when I am used to having more dodges on psyker, I guess... that's the only thing I can consciously spot...
try to block more, with one talent your blocks are some if not the best in the game
Are you going into the thick of the horde as opposed to positioning to where you won't get back hit?
push to
Shoving will prevent the need to block
Yee, also try to fight along the edges of the horde rather than the center
I usually end up doing the first option, sadly...
And if you find yourself surrounded, hold block, back dodge a few times, then continue to fight
Psyker melee is hard
But if you can get the hang of it, you can melee on any other class
What I can suggest is you try to use melee for most of a lower difficulty run, and make notes about when you get hit and what happened
Or you can do it more naturally but this is a more direct "why am I fucking up" kinda deal
also got to get better at listening for that sound that plays as your about to get hit
I think doing basically melee only malice runs whenever I leveled a new psyker alt helped my skill level a lot.

Play zealot to learn melee 
basically turning psyker into grail knight
nah zealot has so many forgiving mechanics for melee
play veteran to learn melee
The only thing Zealot is good for learning is trapper dodges.
ur tryin to frag hordes with a deimos?
As much as I love DS being psyker exclusive, it's really a crime zealot doesn't have one.
true
And deimos can do it..
Give zealot the dueling swords, you cowards
Just... not its sole purpose

diemos is wildly mis understood, its a pretty good alround weapon
also it completely invalidates the obscuris... obscuris might have more stagger but it needs help
it was invalidated even when it was the only force sword option 
true
though when i started playing psyker i exclusivly used the obscuris and my biggest complaint was the second heavy need more cleave
If anything
Obscurous should have movment speed
keep it as is, with mid cleave and mid single target
Give Obscurous infinite dodges and innate deflector
I mean at that point just use DS4 BUT

you know. warp swords are pretty good for managing your peril
well I mean for warp rider
You're in the middle of melee so you use the special to keep it still
or the shove
whichever
the special turns my okay piece of steel into a piece of crap that holds me still
the ilissi is the only one that doesnt suffer from that
yee, shove is good for it though
the shoves are amazing
being able to save a teammate who is about to get crushed is so nice
but then again so would watching them be crushed
huh

So close
is 41% crit bonus bad on a surge staff? always here it's the bad stat on the surge staff
sad! many such cases ๐ฆ
hoard it anyways
but maybe I don't understand the stats
surge stat gets like 4x more crit from a max roll
๐ค what would a perfect surge look like
imo warp resistance is the dump stat
charge speed has low ratios too
yea u could make an argument for charge speed
maybe 50-50 dump charge and warp res
basically the question is does dumping warp res require u to quell more than 1 tick of peril before charging another rmb
doesn't seem to be the case for me at least
๐ค most of my staves have good ish warp resist and i kinda only notice the quell speed when its an issue
that's cuz quell speed can actually go negative
if you have like sub 55 or 60 quell speed you might as well blitz quell
yeah
I wonder if Fatshark actually tries weapons with low stats out
so 80s for damage crit and quell with charge rate and warp resi as 50% of whats left
There's such a wide variation in what low modifiers actually mean
ye
Trauma blast radius too
for most stats you'll be looking at between a 20-30% difference
Very sad when low
tbh if you're used to 70% quell it can be harmful getting one with 80%
you might overquell when you're edging
ig, i only single tick quell
enjoy i cba with that
surge is like, all crit
so would 42% charge rate be bad on a surge?
very imo
charge rate isn't gonna be as impactful as like crit bonus or quell speed
does wall have higher hp than bubble?
but still gonna be noticeable
ye
i think wall has less actually
dump stat should be warp resistance
charge rate range is like 1.1 sec to .94
Yeah column doesn't work for the scrier gaze, next
DS2 is surprisingly good at horde clear
It does but it's not the part that'll get you the penance
isn't that its entire purpose?
Ye. It's easier than the DS4 for hordes.
You get that with your melee and assail mostly
No i mean, the peril was too much. Got a transfer peril voidstrike, that should be easier
I don't know, I didn't see a lot of vanguard attacks in the attack pattern, and people said it's good for a dueling sword so I didn't expect much
Void with transfer peril and and battle mediation talent is how I did the SG penance. Hallway or long area maps are helpful.
Joined late to a game. Did 800k+ damage in 29 mins with illisi surge smite. If I was there from the mission start probably 1 mil damage. 
I've noticed high damage on people's scoreboards and ya can tell they've had leavers when they're at 1mil and others are at 200k

if they're at 200k then that would make sense
In a hard game most people get 300-600 each
Which usually adds up to about 2m damage
1.5-2m
hello siblings
Heyo
hope u r having a great day
i was having a good day until i remembered malleus monstronum exists
Isn't it only 50% now?
Yep, just did it in the first corridor of the map, super easily
Should be much easier to do.
Doing good, hope you are too!
I want to do malleus monstronum but i can't find people to do it with in a private game
private only
I don't have 3 other friends x_x
or rather, I don't have 3 other friends able to play heresy level missions
They should be changing the private game penances, no?? I coulda swore I saw something about that
man I did that shit when it was 90%
Tru I can only play sedition. 
that was fuckin awful
Heresy is way too hard.
i did it in a normal game when my entire team was dead
then i learned it was private only
just join a regular maelstrom monstrous specials
Same Kusu, I'm actually pissed they made it easier, and the 1mil, and the 500 special maps, etc
er i guess it's priv only
Nah, I'm not pissed about it
Makes all the damn frames worthless now
either way u can just kill a weakened one
The change was good
I was annoyed on the first day. But now idc.
So many 500k kills frames.
I can blend in and pretend I'm gud. 
I can blend in and pretend im bad, much easier

I'm irritates because of the amount of time I put into the game to get those, and now noobs can do it quickly
Pretend? 

I could be fuckin ama- naw i suck
what build is that?
Goes back to sedtion low intensity
Are there even enemies on low intensity sedition?
I understand, but I dunno. It was pretty unreasonable and it was not fun in the slightest, at least the newer players can actually just get it without having to sit there spamming BB for 3 minutes
Few heretics taking coffee breaks, usually
the rest are having strokes
Full game with it
You spam your surge staff and press f a lot.
No soulstealer?
No just don't get hit.
what does your surge look like?
hmm
You can get good toughness from mettle with surge.
You know what?
You stun most stuff anyway so soulstealer is not needed.
You're right
And you are often at range.
5% movespeed here I come
Also you quell so much with surge, quietude provides ample toughness.

Mettle gives toughness on hit, quitude toughness on quell. Between them you are gud.
I use the exact same build with blaze trauma. 2 very quell intensive staves.
I don't even have the 500k kills ๐ข
with dagger is great
Try it and see how it goes.
5% ms
If you need soulstealer put it back.
yee
But I think you'll manage fine.
But I shouldn't
yee
The other point I took out is the 6 stack of warp charges cause
I only use soulstealer with assail.
I spam my ult a lot. a lot a lot
every time I look it's at 4 or below
How? 
IDK MAN
You need to look later
and a 12 second ult timer is fine
man has max ability reduction and is just spamming f
I spam it for the voice lines
i get scared im gonna explode past 1%
you know theres a staff for that 

Trauma 
fr though, I hover around 60-65 with surge
this is actual hell
You need 85% for max stacks
yes, I know
When I want to raise peril enough I use smite to get it to that point then vent
i even tried to do a sniper purge map
It's not as bad as penances the other classes have
NO FUCKING SNIPERS SPAWNED
the snipers didnt want the heat
whats rough?
Ranged only mael does the trick easily for shield imo
yeah whenever that shit spawns in terminal
Get the mmt mod
cant use mods ๐ญ
Console user???
close enough


nah samsung smart fridge
Must be rich.
we're in streak team 5 VC if anyone wants to do the malleus monstronum penance with us
Tbh the penance that pissed me off the most so far is one of the vet aura ones
kill 7500 enemies under the aura but for some reason it only ticks on elites & specials
I got psyker and vet done. Working on zealot now it's slow..
zealot flame nade was annoying too
Shouldn't zealot be the fastest? 
loner & stealth ult i got in a mmt solo match
average pub zealot
combine that shit
Kill the bots and then solo
Zealot penances are actively unhelpful
kills with knives in stealth count for like 3
That's just because loner is an actively unhelpful aura
Psyker penances be like "literally guys kill guys w/ ur team"
I somehow getting more elite/special backstab in stealth than loner aura one.
"literally just use telekine shield"
if you have two zealots with two auras do you get progression for both ๐ค
If you pick loner you're either wasting the point or you're far away from your team
The only reason to ever pick it is the location in the tree
Zealot penance be like "fuck off away from your team and start backstabbing randos."
I actively pick loner.
psyker's puppet master sabotaging loner 
It's my favourite aura.
also you can farm the purity one pretty well by just picking up a grim
push randos 3 times so you can line up the backstab well
purity aura ticks on wounds
Just grab a wound curio, take a wound and relax
oh damn
Whatever I'll get the zealot ones done eventually since I actually enjoy playing zealot. I dread the ogryn one though.

"the purity in me fighting the grim im carrying to decide if i turn out a solider of the emperor or nurgle"
i do not have other classes leveled and I refuse to until the crafting system isn't garbage because fuck trying to farm for weapons for all of them
All while ur team (suddenly darktide gods for some fucking reason) path their way to you at the speed of light (last game I'm not sure they were sentient creatures)
2 beacons of purity let you just stand in tox gas too
very based stance
Ogryn is fun, you have an excuse to mag dump your stubber 
i actually stopped picking up plasteel aside from what i need for weeklies
I literally just play psyker for this exact reason, NO way am I crafting 30 trillion p-guns
The moment i picked loner aura and marked that penance i started only matching with level 1000 gamers able to solo auric damnation maelstrom
whats the point of picking up plasteel if im just gonna waste it and get mad afterwards?
if i have too much ill just waste it
I do just well with slightly suboptimal weapons
ogryns ass chasing aren't as bad tbf
Better that vet or zealot
I think 3 ogryn + ammo vet is the best comp for any penance
hell yeah
๐
field improv vet and 3 nuke ogryn
They also made it not round up...
no fucking way
I don't even get 1 ammo per revolver shot back anymore
so revolvers and bolters dont get anything?
Why even play vet
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Me think they'll reduce the nerf to ammo aura.
Bolterbros quite literally just suffer
You get ammo every few triggers if i counted correctly

Won't be as strong as before but less pitiful than now.
vets finally getting the psyker treatment
with my zarona i got roughly one ammo every two ticks
a gaming company? walking back a shitty nerf?

now ur huffing copium
round it up, CD at 2-2.5 seconds would be a good middle ground imo
yeah theyll reduce the survivalist nerf then unnerf momentum then buff trauma
I subscribe.
fatshark? updating the game more than once every 6 months?
totally happening 2 more weeks just trust the plan

I should go on darktide forum and put in a bug report about my vet aura turning off and on for no reason
soon โข๏ธ
Maybe they'll fix it
Make momentum great again.
Theres no way you think that ammo aura nerf wasnt needed LOL
Agreed, should be a less severe thing
It was great
I'd put three mags into a random horde and go 'hmm i'm kind of low on ammo'
And then a hound horde would round the corner and i'd be back up to max
man i legit would hold the agri down to suppress shit without even trying to kill stuff
and i wouldnt go down
It's still a powerful aura even with the massive nerf
That's how crazy strong it was before
Good for high ammo weapons, not good for low ammo weapons
well to be fair low ammo weapons usually have higher damage
yeee
and if you go one shot one kill on a revolver thats the same thing as infinite ammo

Aiming hard.
so tru so tru thats why i only play surge and trauma
survivalist invalidated by aiming gud
My mouse precision isn't amazing but I can flick like a motherfucker
though usually the low ammo weapons having low ammo intentionally; e.g., revolver
when its your 999th time on the same map with a surge it feels like you have ulta instinct
Same with purga
Even when not hitting one shots with revolver + assail, ammo typically isn't an issue. No vet aura and you are the only one taking our specials and most of the ranged elites is the only time it's been an issue.
Just spray 
Hasn't happen to often for me tho. I don't usually dip to 0.
I was gonna say "too bad vets don't have regenerating grenades" ....

I'm an idiot
Never had a problem with ammo as a bolter zealot.
honestly, revolutionary thought... remove suvivalist
ye
ammo economy in the actual matches are fine tbh
Just make it ammo grabbed is ammo shared
nah if people dont loot they dont eat
its in the bible or something fr fr
Yeah that would be less broken
just make it increase max ammo capacity for the team
makes ammo pickups more valuable
I'd like that
Yeah same but i liked playing vet and picking up 0 ammo but staying full
me as brauto zealot following the vet around
i wish a plaque of poxburster on all survivalist plasma spammers
i love my mass produced survivalist voc plasma psword vets
all stamped out all from cadia
P sword p gun shout. 

Most original guardman build. 
i refuse to build pguns because i know they will be nerfed too
when they see a single poxwalker 
Thank you SO MUCH. After multiple missions where I was ticking up maybe 20-30, I racked up over 80 this last mission.
bro this sucks
this is 35k ordo dockets and looks nearly identical. And you don't have to use real money to buy it
I actually like the autopistol though. I wish we had more skins in general.
I like the illisi too, but I wasn't around to see the illisi skin so this is the first i'm seeing of this
The rotating shop is really lamr
Like the idea is you condition people to continually check the shop for new stuff every time they log on
But the selection is so small I never find anything I want
i check the shop for new stuff (not that I have money nor aquilas to use in the shop) but it never resets when I check
it's so stupid
i'm so tired of looking ugly I might install that drip mod
We mean the irl money skins
oh well they all suck
Yes that is the current sentiment
IDK where to even preview the skins to see which one Im interested in
They could put epic armours but they don't ;_;
they really cant
Force sword had a cool skin
thats cool
most of the trash skins have to fit together
ye that's cool
they cant make something unique
if only
Friendship with force swords has ended, now dueling swords are my new best friends
The doctor removed my forceskin
dueling swords?!?!
WTF PUT IT BACK
i have been knifepilled
Im knife mode too
Force and flaming swords are really cool
Hadron bricked 6 knives, so I upgraded my purple DS2 and use that, Flak/Unarmored, Uncanny and Rampage 
im team four score
the knife?
Yeah

look at mr optimal gamer here
i bet you play revolver declaw on vet too
I prefer flaming swords...
I BET YOU PLAY REVOLVER DECLAW on zealot
Ur just a guy
quite
im just ken
I HATE DCLAW
you love declaw
Why being just a guy with a weapon if you can be a psyker that hears the voice of his beloved
why be a dude with a shovel when you can be a crack head who can go invisible simply by praying hard enough
FR
even his voice lines aren't the best
Male Cadian shouts though
yeah,i feel the same
nothing compares to Seer psyker
even female beloved has LINES with fanatic
ye 
FEMALE BELOVED arguably the worst choice
man same for the rest
i think they wanted something different but whoever voice acted that did such a good job i never wanna hear it
Give me male seer and female loner in every group
SIMPLETONS SAVE ME

relevant loner interaction
loner is so good
But seer is like so kind
And...crazy
i wish we had any good psyker cosmetics
oops! all tubes!
Oops toilet bowl
Some guy had an all white facemask that was cool
pinned messages
Alright fellow psykers, what do you all use for a scrier's gaze build
Usually guns.
Columnus IAG, Assail, Dueling Sword 4 and Disrupt Destiny
Lasgun
Can do staves if you manage your peril really well or pair battle mediation. You can do a melee focused build too.

i mean i have to buy this from melk out of principle right
lord let me use items across classes ๐
Maybe in the future 
I'll get a gun for penance purpose, but usually Surge Staff (it's bad)
Yeah i don't think i like running scriers lol
i think its time to stop playing psyker for a while, im tired of being painfully frail
Glad to help 
Same
Time for ogryn, to be painfully tanky
nah, i wanna try and learn how to knife zealot next

moment i try knife zealot lol
Good, field tutors
hell nah we lost that fast
lol forget this im going to go play something else
used to do auric damnation cozy and now it's like im a newbie at the game lol
so infuriating when i can't trust any builds on gameslantern
the staff you pick decides the spells you cast
yes im aware, i have a solid trauma, voidstrike, and electric staff.
also have a purgatus i guess but my lord that thing is frustrating to work with
my staff is the stub
i also have solid trauma... oh wait you mean staff
yeah i lost another match, im just gonna go chill in destiny 
Are the 75 stam curios still bugged?
Wait that was a thing?
It used to, or maybe still is, be bugged. You would get the +3 stam in the meat grinder but not in a mission.
I haven't seen any patch notes fixing what's one of the easiest things to fix in the whole game, no.


still bugged
Lol dont get your builds from there
Generally you can ask here
Yup. Still bugged.
Left is in the meat grinder and right is in a mission with a "+3" stam curio with a base 75 rating.
And people will give you decent builds
too hard apparently
Or you can ask me ๐คญ

But i only make good builds

So cant make u a knife zealot sorry

I want someone to critique my talent tree. So far, it has somewhat not worked out
okay but if it's bad i'll post a question mark
?

let me load my game
Trauma and a chainsword
so trauma is pretty tricky
because you need a specific set of perks/blessings for it to be effective
chainsword is a good weapon generally, but it doesn't work too well on psyker
because psyker exclusive weapons are so insanely busted
I feel this is no good though
That got me through a lot of auric missions
Yeah it's servicable, it just has better options
the problem with rending trauma IMO is that you're basically just waiting to get carried
Unless you specifically hate crushers that much.
tbh knowing how to be carried is a skill too
true lmao
just following someone who's good
is a skill
that a lot of ppl dont do well
The window to make use of brittle, especially for yourself, is rather small. It also doesn't scale like it's supposed to.
I play mostly support/tank builds. Like the smite Psyker+shield to stagger the enemies and the tank ogryn to pull aggro and hold them on me. So my damage output ist not my priority. I also like to play the Zealot to on support with chorus ability. But damn out of 3 people are to stupid to play their class in a efficent manner. Im so tired of thi...

(also rending trauma is trash)
it's usable
I haven't used chainsword. Is that also a horde weapon?
If so, you might have too much overlap in melee and ranged weapons.
rending trauma is nice if you ignore trauma as a main weapon
I can pop two random grey weapons and just spam EP smite, everything is usable
and opt to mainly use your blitz/melee
That actually sounds fun.
I do have a BiS Rending Trauma the emperor cursed me with
and 3 out of the 4 psyker staffs having some hordeclear
chainsword is kinda between
i'd run chainsword with gunker though
Can deal with armor, can deal with hordes
kk
Only good part of chainsword is you can Anime kill mutants as they run past you
Special them as they run past and they'll die a distance away.
since chainsword does happen to be one of the better crit weapons
and w/ gunker on scriers for a hordeclear melee that doesn't generate peril (relative to the illisi)
So no monstrosity damage on chainsword?
It's alright, but spaming the special in a monster's face is pretty rough
If you want to be locked in place while beast of nurgle eats you 
I play zealot with the chainsword, Iโm sure I can handle it
But it is pretty rough
Bonbon slam away. #psyker-class message

taco smell
Going over to a family member's house as a kid and them having one of those make it yourself taco spreads

I have 3 extra stomachs for tacos like those
All right. Y'all can talk shit on my talent tree
Iโm an engineer. I get shitted on all the time. I can handle some rough criticism
What do you like about your build. We can start there.
Low-key I haven't the slightest idea what to do with a rending trauma build.
I actually think going EP assial is a good idea cause rending trauma is so mid
Plus it stacks with the rending from trauma
actually not bad
i just play assail + ds4 with rending/blazing spirit trauma
farm true aim stacks when the situation calls for a trauma usage
The soulbaze is a really nice talent to have. Enemies burning after killing an elite is amazing to see. I can spam assail in snipers, gunners, and more elites. Idk about the true aim talent though
This will kill all mobs, ranged mobs, and brusiers.
Also snipers
So if you like that, I'd recommend swapping to shriek with creeping flames
for that tree, i'd personally swap to Mettle and True Aim esp if you're using assail regularly
Warp expen to mettle is the first one yeah.
I think Iโm kinda done with the shield imo. Not a great use for gunners just shooting at my shield

yeah since you're willing to go into mind in motion from assail then i'd go with venting shriek + creeping flames
Here is a trauma + assail build with 2 points to do what you want with. This is for a balanced use of assail, trauma, and melee.
mind in motion is such a tragic talent
First of all, how the hell did you screenshot your entire talent tree
online skill tree
The the game lantern builder.
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor
also the reason mind in motion is a tragedy is because you can get sprint speed while quelling if you slide then quell while sliding @dusk void
There is a mod that squishes your in game tree also.
this is the tree I use with blazing spirit/rending shockwave trauma + assail + ds4, which gives up a toughness node in exchange for malefic momentum and wasting another point coming from venting shriek and across into true aim into DD
Three solid choices. Each with their own play styles.
Maining assail with Atlas, using trauma as utility with Arco, and more agressive trauma use with mine.
Alternatively you can abandon heresy for the light and roll anything other than a rending trauma

rending shockwave + blazing spirit true aim trauma dream
And each will make me more of a glass cannon, but thanks for the extreme criticism. Really appreciate yโall
Good luck on blazing trauma
Having a pocket rending boi
I think I have that blessing somewhere
You can grab true aim and then EE. Less squishy
Plus flaming shriek will kill all ranged mobs in that area I showed earlier, and heavily damage gunners, can't be squishy if they are all dead.
You mean EP?
Nah, EE, next to the CDR
You get ranged immunity for 1 second on crit.
EE. Empathic evasion.
Never used that talent. Canโt hurt though
Imo anything with these talents will Just Workโข๏ธ
Surviving on psyker can be a learning curve, but it's also way easier than it seems.
It's quite good on purg staff. It crit often and consistently.
It's decent on blaze trauma too, it's just really unneeded because everything is

It would be interesting if they nerfed that + shriek and changed wildfire to actually usefully spread sb
I only can get a level 3 blazing spirit blessing ๐
Blazing 3 is the max
For trauma and void
Not that you want it on void
6 stacks of soul blaze will kill all non elites
And then you add 6 more with flaming shriek

Can I buy more shit?
Still can't believe sword get T4 blazing spirit and staves don't.

Why you use rending trauma my guy
I'm guessing you just started psyker, do you want a run down on what's "OP"
Blazing Spirit 4 on Trauma would be hilarious
Might as well just add solo queue to go along with it
Does it look like I started?
The way I don't even have enough ordos to buy something from brunt's shop because of I chain roll until rarity. Hadron stays bricking things.
Oh, were you just specifically trying to get rending trauma to work? That makes sense, my b
how dare you assume his level
Id take rending trauma over soulblaze if im in a competent team

It does work, but I keep getting shitted in in auric missions. I just needed some professional advice
tbh there's not much we will really be able to help you with except for builds, you gotta find a rhythm that fits you

Because the way I engage in a fight and the way Atlas engages could be WILDLY different, even with the same kit
Maybe watch people who consistently clear aurics?
Psyker is very very varied
I know. Just wanted to diversify my playstyle. Missions are getting harder, but thank you all for the huge critiques. Really appreciate y'all reviewing my build
if your really struggling pull out the easy mode button also known as the voidstrike
And if you REALLY need advice on gameplay, send us clips
Like, there are mechanics in the game that are easily missed or the games doesn't really explain.
Why aim when you can just spam lightning and screech like a proper government official.
you have to also combo assail and some time your melee, counterpoint voidstrike kinda kills everything without needing to switch
No?
Let me guess. Kite with your staff, charge it at half, kill enemies, quell while sliding, repeat? Don't get hit. Dodge gunners, spam assail
full charges will do better unless you're trying to not die
When I say Surge and Scream will carry an auric mael, I mean surge and scream.
You can do things to be more effective
But you'll still win and be 1st.
I've been getting outdamaged all day today 

But then again I'm playing with a psyker that's level 1400 
Voidstrike and Blazing Trauma are insane
Idk about spamming assail. Half charges only really work on blaze trauma because of the soulblaze. That's more defensive anyways.
oh no

..
smite bad. pls buff
Not perfect, but good enough?
Swap carapace for flak maybe?
Shit, forgot that
Without warp nexus blazing spirit might not feel very good, but it's worth a try to see if you like it.
Agreed
So with this type of trauma, it's more utility to set up your melee. Especially for words like DS4.
That staff is an offense to my eyes but it'll be ok for a trial run
You will have to rely on true aim to get your crits to proc blazing spirit.
Melee can give you stacks but can't proc
ooh
LMB, assail, and melee can build the true aim stacks.
Trauma right click doesn't give stacks but can proc
Forget this chainsword then?
... brb looking up blessings for chainsword
Weak spot damage doesn't do anything, but I'm guessing you just got stuck with that
rampage and savage sweep sound pretty good
I can't comment on chain sword. I don't know enough about many of the mundane weapons.
I mean if you were smacking bosses, and not using it for horde clear, bloodletter probably works?
That chainsword is for bosses and mutants
hmm
And pox hounds (sometimes)
Weak spot does a SLIVER of extra damage. ๐
bloodletter and shred then?
I dislike shred as a concept but it sounds pretty ok for that
Chainsword basically maxing out bleed stacks on special is fun
Bloodletter/shred sounds the most useful for you
wait does special count for shred?
No
shit game
I also have this.
Show off
1 stack after the entire shredding process
that's ass
I thought this sword was going to suck
But yeah, flak should definitely be your other perk, and precognition is a little sad but it's fine
I think precog is needed to one shot muties
DS4 has high dmages heavies that are easy to chain. The special is fast and can still anything that isn't a boss with a special to the head.
You're a big fan of flak, aren't you lol
Cara is fine on DS4
everyone here is
Cara > flak on ds
You think? Hmm
Ds is for poking maulers and crushers in the head
So my sword is fine then?
That sword is basically as good as it gets
Yeah, should do you a good
Lots of armor is flak, but on trauma the secondary hits the center which is flak most of the time.
Like you won't ever need to use another DS4 but that one
fair!
I thought it hit feet all this tume
Nope. That would make sense.
Bru
No need to invite for the mutie barbeque with that one
@dusk void Cool tech you can do with the DS in general, is right after you land a heavy, use the special attack immediately after, you'll be able to stagger lock most things
It cuts the recovery time after a heavy
Takes just as long
Now this is complete
Yeah. That DS4 is great. The only thing to really change is precog, but it not a bad blessing.
Even with precog it's a monster sword
Can you one shot maulers with precog
is the penance warp battery easier if you dont upgrade your warp charges to 6? dumb q but i'm curious
Should be
Looks good. Just keep in the specific set up it needs with true aim to proc blazing spirit.
For more agro blaze trauma, the belssing combo is nexus + blazing spirit with the same perks.
Yes it is
thanks
I beileve it's 2 minutes instead of 5 minutes
If just go flurry instead of blaze on that tbh
120s yeah
True aim will be so annoying to track and set up
That's what I had before, and they told me to change the flurry blessing to blazing spirit
Just my preference
I did it before the skill tree changes. Warp Siphon required you to brainburst targets to get stacks. I ran kinetic flayer and didn't worry about it and got the penance ๐
So kill armor then?
The faster charge from flurry would be so much nicer than random blaze procs, for me
Just to be clear, we said blaze trauma was better than rending, not to add blaze to a rending staff.
I mean it'll still give you an idea of how blaze trauma works
I'm in the camp that rending > blaze #controversial
what's it like having the wrong opinion
Y'all are making me waste my 51,000 plasteel ๐
I'll stick to rending trauma with warp flurry
Excellent choice my son
i mean, if you are doing tons of fire stuff then yeah go blazing
rending aint a bad choice tho

(at least I didn't though)
Blaze: farm trash mobs faster than your team, couple times get gunners/ragers to 9 stacks
Rending: everything is on the floor forever and has 60% armor
only thing with rending is depending on yours and everyone elses builds you can probably just ignore armor altogether
Blazing, makes it clear when the things on the floor aren't dead.
Rending, can trap your teammates to death with fallen mobs
You know what...
Rending might be better

Lol youre right

maybe teammates shouldnt run directly into horde that was barely attacked yet then
I love messing up ogryns toughness regen with trauma <3
No heavy hits for you big guy
I find myself being at the front of the party more often than not

same, mainly because purgatus and deimos require me to
im just stupid aggro and I like playing like that lmao
lol
im just glad i dont have to play psyker like they are super squishy and need to hide away to brain burst the big guys
I mean, they ARE super squishy, but if you just don't get hit that's not a problem
I say as I got gently tagged by a bruiser and lost 2/3ds of my hp
oof
..I'm checking out the other class channels
It's a whole other community 
That's actually kinda cool though
No, we are the main characters, they are just bots

Canโt wait for the fifth
You know. I was in a team of 3 psykers and a zealot and I could only imagine how fucking terrified that zealot would be in an actual 40k novel 
You have the perfect profile picture effect for that comment.

TBF, I think they like to forget that.
lmao
hypocrisy is a feature of fascism
Hippos are scary
Hippocratic oath
is that hippo legislature

So
You guys remember a few hours ago how I said I was gonna down enough caffeine to put myself in a panic attack
3 cups of coffee using 3x the amount of grounds you're supposed to and a mountain dew to go with it
THIS IS MY HEARTRATE
2201 BPM? Damn
timezone doxxed
Is 65 good or bad for heart rate, also 2201 is 10pm, itโs the time
The heart symbol is heartrrate
65 bpm is standard resting heartrate, maybe even a little lower than most people, but this is after excessive amounts of caffeine
So many absolutely awful players on auric maelstrom rn
Acro and his love of blaze rending trauma.
Resting BPM can be anywhere from 40-90 depending on the person
My rest is 65~ and my active is about 160~
good enough or should i slob on hadrons knob
oh no, dear damage
i think Blast radius is not that important
uh really?
blast radius is huge
voidstrike blast is bad
that and charge time
isnt it for single target?
80 vs 53.
blast radius big
ill use it for now
68% damage is fine, it's not BiS obviously, but you aren't really going to notice it
omg 80 radius is nuke
I would use that staff and I would never feel a need to replace it unless I had nothing else to roll for

Flak + 5% crit btw, in case you didn't know.
trauma and voidstrike is too similar
thanks
ive spent too much plaststeel
as long as 636 epicenter dmg vs 660 doesnt lose a breakpoint
im never rolling blaze trauma again
It might, but you have the flame to cover breakies.
yeee, that staff is fine and can be used easy
