hostile me?
No u
no, me
Solo with bots or no?
F is pickup and interact.
Middle mouse click was my activate ability button (like shriek). I changed it to B. I am not adapting well to it. Hopefully that will change.
Just find more room. 
in front of the first smelter gate - the big one - theres just a smol window
Since I keep my middle finger on the right side of my mouse wheel, I swapped my target ping button from MMB to mouse wheel left 
managed to get through but whilst jumping over the next barrels i got overheaded
and holy shot why are flamers so hard to kill
Changed it because I couldn't hold secondary attacks from things like smite or purg without interrupting them with ability on middle mouse click.
I did try to do side clicks for middle mouse, but an ability with 2 charges were used all at once for some reason.
yeah i do that but sitll
If they're inside a big bois horde then nothing you can do but right click. 
Playing with mouse and kb, sounds complicated, get a controller 
Can't aim and hands too sweaty. ðŸ˜
Don't need aim for trauma and surge 
Do need to aim for trauma. Might be a skill issue. 
Aiming with controller in darktide is hard for me too, the usual aim assist is pretty much useless, because of the huge amount of enemies, it actually makes things worse, because you have trouble with aiming at priority targets
And it's no Destiny or Halo, when it comes to gunplay
Its not too bad but than again ive never played on a keyboard
Biggest issue is if you wanna run blades of faith
That shits bound to down arrow🤮
Can you 180 whip around ok on controller?
If you have high sensitivity
Dead zones
I dont and i do fine. Can reliably perform in auric damn
There are certain builds that controller players tend to use because of limits
Every time I see the xbox logo my heart sinks
True for me at least, I avoid precision guns
I play on there too and honestly, same
That logo doesn't tell you if someone plays on console, they can also play PC through microsoft
What does give console away though is people typing Gg instead of GG or gg 
Auto cap
So about soulblaze
It doesnt seem to increase dot when I get uncanny stacks?
On my melee
Do you need to apply soulblaze AFTER getting uncanny?
As far as I know you apply soulblaze and then uncanny
In the meat grinder I shout st a crusher, get 5 uncanny and the tick damage stays the same
Am i just seeing it wrong
maybe soulblaze stacks are gone by then
Or the numbers are just too low, try with purgatus and shriek for 21 stacks
Ima do that
I pulled those aloes out of the pot and replanted one of them back in with a bunch of snake plants. I did not get chaos spawn whipped this time. 

@patent wing made it pass mid event. Before the 2nd to last medicae and die cos chaos spawn appear 
can anyone give me input on the best force sword?
well i found a fun build
I had to kill bonbon during mid event too.
depending on what you want either deimos or illisi
scriers gaze + disrupt destiny + every movement speed buff available
deimos for single target damage illisi for hoard clear
Yeah chaos spawn is prob just ggs solo unless you bring absurd boss damage and its not too busy
thanks!
no problem if you want some info on what stats to look for or what perks/blessings the guide pinned is a good place to start
or just ask, most people in here are top 1%
just whipped that up, figured I'd pair with a surge force to use on big single targets?
psyker is my worst class by far so just trying to figure out something usable lol
Yeah also a dh blocked one of the path I needed to use to kite.
And with the change now dh would wake up and aggro me even if I was alone.

not too bad, would swap blazing to either unstable power or slaughterer
prob slaughterer
okay, just managed to pull a lvl 3 slaughterer and lvl 4 unstable power, so I have those both banked
Obscurus with exorcist and blazing spirit
I think I'm gonna play with it a bit as is to figure out how to use it right
Heavy 1 into light 2, repeat, or just spam lights
deimos goes well with uncanny illisi goes well with slaughter
second blessings can be executor/shred/unstable/deflector whatever you like
you can even go light spam and it works too
whats the actual cleave cap for illisi tho 🤔
5 for heavy and 3 for light?
idk i'm sure crusher H2 can do a ton same for ironhelm
there's no cleave dmg cap AFAIK
what about a target cap?
that is a chain axe
as you can see, target cap is 4
the 0 here is the indication of that
that's the illisi
h1 chainaxe has 8 cleave
h1 illisi has 4.5 cleave
so basically the chaxe will murder every 4 guys and stagger the rest
with power blessing
whereas the illisi can spread the dmg far more
Opinions on this baby? Are the perks garbo?
Imma try that out
IDK how much you've used void. If you have another one. Play around with how fast it charges.
Some feel it's way too slow and other don't mind.
I would say I strictly use void, but I hardly play psyker
Nexus + surge is more DPS per shot for sure, but flurry keeps things going at a better pace for me.
I sometimes ditch surge blessing and just do flurry + nexus. 
Then you probably already know to take flurry or not. 
tf2 lookin
I just had an idea.
AM runs right
But you have to buy your loadout from the bottom half of the current shop
this hurt my head to watch, 30 minutes in 42 seconds

i mean constantly 10 hp 90% of that match was something i noticed
I dont think that was 30 mins all of that was the mid event of chasm station
I think its chasm station
your right, its just so much so quickly it feels it
my bad
Given everyone was dead though it was probably a long mid event
this is what i get for taking a break, i go an start a new karl franz campaign and when i look at basic zealot gameplay i get a headache
back to karl franz
all that training was not in vain sensei
Lick it
Dunk it
What is this potato graphic shenanigans
could swap both blessings, or keep +crit and point blank
i have a revolver with point blank, i love it for quickly deleting stuff while you're involved in melee
throw crucian roulette on there and keep it downloaded to 1 round all the time 
every boolit a prayer crit
why would you keep terrifying barrage 
I WAS PLANNING ON DOING BOTH
lol
got to suppress enemies with the revolver
whats a good knife combo for psyker
Blessing wise i do uncanny riposte and flak/unyielding
knife on psyker?
For gun i do w/e honestly so long as your taking assail
But but columnus iag is the strongest option
If you dont mind fully relying on assail for most of your horde clear laspistol would also be a good option
You can also do uncanny precog if you want although i think it gives a little less value and is a bit harder to use since psyker has no attack speed stuff
Yeah laspistol is very good just doesnt give you the oh shit ability for density columnus gives you + colmuns crits are crazy as well
I actually prefer laspistol just a bit less friendly if starting out on psyker
Knife psyker i mean
gotta bring something good for clear with laspistol, i usually default to illisi
Assail can do it fine but youd wanna be a bit more comfy escaping situations here and there with knife
If its your only option for horde clear/density
You can manage slowly with knife as well buts its well
Slow
Usable if absolutely needed
Psyker stam regen is nice for PA spam at least
illisi is for PUSSIES
knife supremacy
deimos is better
not for horde clear
Both are very good but i do probably give the edge to deimos esp since you can just take assail and fix your horde clear issue
yeah illisi is the undisputed prince of hordeclear, second only to power sword 
Deimos H2 and uncanny is just stupid
crusher 3 shot n stagger my beloved

i think that's a cat joke
Deimos can also horde clear honestly just not like illisi

Which is how it should be for sure
just bring obscurus 

Obscurus moveset makes me sad
L2 uppercut for the same damage as L1 and you have to block cancel heavies for optimal horde clear on a force sword
Feels very bad to use sadly
Just increase Obscrurus damage by 7.2% every hotfix/patch until people only use Obscrurus, then decrease it until people use all three equally.

Also one heavy bring a strikedown and one being vanguard despite having the exact same damage profiles will never not bother me
Even if it were the best weapon in the game people would refuse to use it due to the dogshit moveset

hngnffhfnfhfjfnf
I HATE the l2
I have summoned him
Not every Orgyn and their mother using kicback when it was buffed.
why the fuuuckc does a finesse weapon have a vertical uppercut
it's good for dogs and that's it
And the strikedown on the finesse weapon has the damage profile of a mf vanguard
auuigh
yeah it's a neat thing but then the Deimos gets it right from the getgo
And H2
guh
Which steadily climbs my list of dumbest moves in the game
At one point i think i chain oneshot like 5 maulers
Which would have also dumpstered them if it didnt kill
Who designed this
insert gif of man falling down trailer stairs
Im glad its not just ds4 heavy but in deimos
But does the crusher need to fly across the room
All routes lead me back to knife
How is knife the least deranged of the specialized single target bladed weapons
I only say bladed cause hammer is a bit less deranged simply for less ease of use
(on non-zealot)
Well the only other specialized ST on zealot is like evis and hammer
Which ig are both less deranged
Oh chaxe 12 too
Damn they really gave all the stupid ST to psyker
Thanks FS and uncanny
that's trailer park supervisor jim lahey and you will give him his due respect
Im ok with it cause psyker melee is fun with dd scriers but uh
ds4 on zealot would be soooo fucked up
Could probably be tuned down
(for real though, trailer park boys seasons 2-7 are absolute gold, do watch)
no.
I think I was there as a ogryn main.
KB was sniping snipers better than GG. I'm a GG loyalist tho
keep it just to spite people
ARCO YOU LITERALLY WANT IT GONE SHUT UP HGNFUFNFNFFB
heh
GG auto blows up at like 30 meter, it wasn't even that good at sniping snipers in the first place
would be nice if gauntlet's grenade didn't have a timed fuse and would just detonate on impact
Exactly. GG buff when smh
It's hard to build as well
At least from what I remember...
it has a bunch of kinda useless blessings
pinpointing/blaze away/shattering are the top 3 good ones
To one shot mutie iirc you need a 80 damage and 80 pen, and you need both good blessings. Maniac and flak
you can reach one shot bp with pinpointing even if you don't have perfect stat distribution
Ya PPT and shattering from what I remember
Ya but have to stare at other guy for some time. Even with PPT still no mutie one shot BP tho
I go home show you. Outside rn
can just start ADS when you hear mutie
soon as you see it, boom, roasted
i have like 4 GGs with pretty good rolls, the one i use most has blaze away and pinpointing because i pair it with slab shield
can't kill anything past 30m but i use bullrush on that build anyway
Me me telling my non god roll GG can't one hit mutie even with PPT
Off memory 80 damage 78 pen or something like that
wish DT had something like destiny item manager
hate having to login just to look at my shit
I can't one shot muties with my 79% 
this one shots muties with PPT so yours ought to be able to as long as you have the perks
I can though with the rending talent active
oh hm, guess it can't
i know i've done it but i guess i had some other buffs active
dang, this one can't do it either. 99% damage to mutie
I’ve been seeing almost nothing but purg staff on psyker teammates lately and they’re all doing disgusting damage (sometimes as much as 2x everybody else). Did it get buffed or something?
theyre just that good
purg staves are pretty awesome yeah
purg is just not for me
i dont think they got buffs? they just always felt somewhat nice
Monstrous damage but the feedback is so minimal I don't get the feelgood feelings
All other three staves feel very comfortable to play to me, but I never managed to play purg well. It's just a pain that I can't swiftly eliminate specialists, especially at range
thats why you pair it with a good ranged blitz
purgatus is nothing but a horde clear
also not too bad at quickly staggering elites/specials before they hit you with some random crap
I tried brain burst purg, but that didn't feel well either. Might try assail later
assail could work but they are both good at hordes so might not be the most versatile
But even with assail I still can't do anything against bulwarks or crushers
brain burst is also more precise which sounds like what you would want
whats your build? you might have talents setup that make it not feel as great
I tried both warp siphon and EP. EP brain burst feels legit enough, but still
I guess I'm too used to the feeling of staggering & killing everything with the other three staves
for crushers i rely on my melee against them
cuz psyker class single-target melees are cracked af
yeah purgatus definitely doesnt have that immediate satisfaction of headshotting a guy's head off
bulwarks also get staggered by ds4 special and i'm guessing the deimos h2 as well
but the satisfaction of just shooting a flamethrower out from your hand and watching an entire horde crumble is also great
purg is nice for when i want to be maximally lazy
rmb + lmb
don't even need to burn down until the horde is visibly dead
just count the seconds while spraying and leave them to die to soulblaze
The max laziness for me comes from surge staff. I don't even need to aim lol
at least with surge i'd be incentivized to do blitz cancelling
but with purg the optimal thing is p much just holding down that m2
yeah purgatus doesnt really have optimal thing other than flamethrower
Until a group of bulwarks march towards me and meanwhile I saw a sniper and a dog sneaking around
I'll try that again sometime
thats when you lock in and embrace your inner neo while you start brainbursting all of them
i mean fire isnt going to do much when the guy is literally encased in metal
most you might do is make him sweat
hence why most people pair bb with purg
unless your a psychopath and have a crazy melee build
degenerate soulblaze + uncanny grindset
Speaking of that, I literally just matched with a gunker who dealt 600k+ melee damage with his illisi in a auric maelstrom game with mutant and burster waves
illisi do be kinda nuts
I'm doing it. I'm doing solo queue AM
Emperor guide my troubled path
Someone left in the lobby, do we count that for total quits?
I've been solo queuing AM since like forever, bc I have no friends
Can you imagine what I've been through to get the auric storm survivor title
The gamer high from solo queuing Auric Maelstrom is hard to beat.
how many games did u quit out of?
I quitted counting them
Did AM get bad with the update? It wasn’t terrible before hand. Usually one or two people were good on average.
I never quit any and I got it last week/this week 
+10 luck
Lucky bastard
if only u started the title grind now @fickle swallowsince spawns are fucked now
its like we actually killed off most of the 6th
Idk spawns feel easier. Start of patch it was fun with 6 crushers and 12 ragers
At first I tried not to quit whenever there’s a little hope, but the unimaginable happened too many times and I had to compromise
Everything new update drop the director seems to go crazy for 1 week
SAMEEEEEEE
I don't know why you guys so desperate :v
i wasted a lot of time holding on to vain hope
Are you guys achievement hubters
yes
cuz we have a pseudo battle pass to grind for now
i want my UN armor for the ogryn
Yeah I just don't use a title lol
I’m not that crazy about achievements. I just want the survivor title and nothing else
so u finally got it right?
Yeah
u can fail the emperor in peace now
I heard the nrw penances suck ;-;
some do
others are ok
the bad ones are just really grindy
like kills with barrels or krak kills
I heard the ogryn ones are really weird
But I heard some really weird one like kill 25 enemy with 1 big boom 25 time
So people are sorta griefing games
Ya but I guess it's not normal gameplay
thats literally what the nuke is for lol
I think usually you big boom mixed horde or for revive no
That what I see how people use it last time
I personally don't get why you would big voom huge horde if its not mixed
not 2 maulers and a crusher and some trash
Most people have horde clear
Ive accepted that the penances will for most part be cleared over time
I'm never touching BB tho xd
Fatshark will inevitably by some point release a patch that switches meta up.
less enemies is always better cuz it means more space
Insta cast BB
u need space to dodge and slide remember?
You could always shove ans then enough space for dodge. Just killing stuff makes enough space at least in my experience
I would defo big boom big horde if I had like 3 psykers to carry tho 
Or 3 vets
But usually vets are super meta
I actually have hardly been playing off meta this patch.
More then the masochistic level 1 psykers that is.
FS needs to add new weapons 
Why do i even post in the darktide reddit man
How do I downvotr emote you here
Nah, it's the warp siphon infinity smite with creeping flames that is OP
But you need either damnation hi-int or auric mael for it
Pygex can you click the downvote emote
Betrayed by my own sibling </3
Doing my part
Very well
Well done people.
TBF, most of the people who downvoted you on reddit probably use Smite Bubble and we all hate them
If that makes you feel better
I hate smite because I don't even get to play a game
@rich spindle both smite upgrades nodes are shit
Yes... yes... smite hate
I wouldn't say +1 jump is shit, it's just largely unneeded.
Tbf thats a decent increase
But it'll never functionally matter
At the start the zomvies are scattered
Th ability to jump slightly behind you is kind of nice, but that's a "skill issue" moment
Griefing idea
Smite pox walker behind the door so when it opens it explodes on gwammate
Teammate
Or the 6 ragers waiting to unleash their 2000 range melee
Ep smite shriek is very fun on certain chokepoints/densities but I dont think its useful for a pack of 2-4 elites
Ep smite + shriek will kill anything from 1 rager to 100 ragers in 8 seconds.
So yeah it scales super hard
Imagine shriek ep-able
But that doesn't make it completely useless in lower moments
From one shriek?
8 seconds, 100-0, one EP smite combo

So EP smite to 85%, yell, keep smiting

Yeah one shriek
Add in the fact that Smite is great at stealing elite kills for PC, and it's quite the cascading damage
Hmmm. Good point about ragers but smiting lone crushers still seems lame
Well yeah, that's why you have surge staff
It's small damage right
Small constant damage
Yeah but someone with big damage will steal easier no.
Like their revolver
Think of it in terms of breakpoints
If you one shot a target, it's not a kill steal btw

Also not to be argumentative but this is more flame shriek being op
But I get your point that smite makes it an easier combo to pull off
If you can steal a kill thru smite it prob means their build is whack / weapon just bad
Regular shriek get's them to like 80%, so not really
I meant EP smite alone, extended with a regular shriek, does 80% HP
In the example I gave
Yeah so instead of 100-0, it's 100-20 in 8 seconds
Flame shriek is for the breakpoints, and the extending in this scenario
But yeah, EP smite without shriek is dumb
Interesting. Tbh, still seems better to just use staff dps and shriek
Better in what way though
Faster
Faster at what?
Kill
But that's not the point of the game is it

It's to finish a mission faster
Wait I disagree with myself, anyways, EP smite with shriek does crazy damage.
Are there builds that do more DPS?
Sure, but you have try 10x harder

EP smite is a relaxing, brain off way, of hitting 800k-1 mil damage.
But can it go this?
This was done on Auric Maelstrom, the more elites you have the merrier this build gets. You can view this build among other things in The Psyker Atheneum:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
Yes the first ones but then you would have to quell for the next wave where this is just eating them as they come
Without letting go of smite
Are you talking about warp siphon smite
He is yes
Nah, in my perspective the main difference is Warp charge smite is useful like 1% of the time, otherwise it's better to use your staff.
EP smite has lots of uses though
This ain't correct
Especially on monstrous specialists
Also smite LMB is an instant interrupt on bombers, flamers, trappers and dogs
Which you can't use if you use EP
Oh, I completely disagree on smite being a useful CC tool. To me it's just forcing your team to play 3-man unless you are doing serious DPS, like that clip for example, which requires specific conditions.
I don't think it's instant..? There's a certain time before your psyker has the hands outstretched
Killing is better than not killing in a horde game
But that's like a 0.2s delay or smth
It's pretty much instant
It's faster than rmb for sure
I agree with warp smite, plus it also boosts your other abilities
I don't "disagree" with warp smite, because that's just the standard surge build.
I just think smite in that case is useless 99% of the time.
But it's not
Useless as in you are better off surging
Totally depends on the situation
A situation that is often rare
Hordes and mixed packs are very common in auric mael
I think being able to disable a dozen crushers at the push of the button is pretty useful
Especially when there's a horde and maulers running around as well
But in order for warp charges smite to be useful, they have to be large enough/spawning quick enough to have overwhelmed your team.
Doesn't +1 also increase jump speed?
That's generally what happens on Auric Maelstrom. Or just Auric, really.
Getting overwhelming by *specifically * elite density is not what I see that not often.
The most common wipe I see is against a mixed group, which smite solves no matter what mix that is unless it's a monstrosity since that's the only thing it can't stun
And which I'm saying is almost always solved better by EP smite shriek rather than warp charges shriek.
It makes monstrosity fights piss easy since you can lock the mixed horde down while the three others take it down quickly
the 200% damage on smite is unironically massive
The conditions for warp charge shriek to win over are more rare 
It can win over, that's for sure, but if you don't have enough kills to trigger a chain, it's meh.
Play auric maels and be amazed, it's actually very common
My disagreement is largely in that warp smite just lasts far longer. The damage from EP smite is so little, it's just not useful for anything other than killing trash which most players on auric can handle generally pretty easily.

When did he say he doesn't play it
That lasting longer + the ability to just use it over and over makes warp smite more useful imo.
Assuming people who have a differing opinion from you are automatically not playing the hardest difficulty is a wild leap
EP smite will 100-0 ragers and below in 8 seconds

False
EP smite is actually real
Smite anything else is just 
EP smite is vstrong
Have you even used EP smite, after the buff? That's an ironic take.
I'm not saying EP smite isn't good, I just think warp smite is still better. It's mostly a toss-up to me, though.
What you are saying, is, as usual, you've never actually ran auric maels with EP smite. Which is just annoying.
EP smite let's you kill ragers, fresh, an entire group
Whether you think that's worse than longer smite is up to you
Like I'm good for arguments, but like, don't argue from a position of I've never played this way so it's bad.
No, I absolutely have run auric mael with EP smite, assuming that I haven't is just bad faith.
Overall the benefits from EP aren't just resolved to the actual efficiency of killing either, which is generally more consistent because WC are wild and go everywhere in damage
None of that smite shield stuff here
"it's just not useful for anything other than killing trash"
You also have like... 3 extra points to spend in talents
So there's one lie here.
Yes, I've done that. I generally swap between vent and shield depending on what I feel like.
We all assumed that you would run smite vent
Taking 8 seconds to kill something isn't all that great, your allies can do the job in that time
8 seconds to kill everything
and often will
So your allies can kill 99 ragers in 8 seconds?
It really doesn't kill everything, you said so yourself
or just dropped a single frag grenade as an ogryn
lol
My question is why are you choosing between those

Ok this is just bad faith argument lol
I JUST WANNA SEE
lol]
Your argument that they have to be running EP smite vent just to kill a lot is bad
Try it or not but
Even as a smite hater I had to admit that EP smite vent is real and can hurt you
I know wildfire is a "take it or leave it" kinda thing and I was wondering if that was about the same spot +1 jump was ;;
So is warp smite
Prove it
Prove what?
Show me how it kills ragers in 1 cast
EP smite vent uncanny is disgusting
wildfire with soulblaze sword makes lots of pretty lights during horde clear
so theres that
Unless you tell me killing ragers in 1 cast is weak
yeah EP creeping vent is insanely strong
Then we have nth to talk about
That's just an arbitrary line you've stated as the goal, I never said warp smite can do that
I run it myself in maelstrom, lots of wins
And what do you bring with it? A revolver. Everything is just 1 or 2 shot
although it easily can if you use vent
(crowd suddenly boos)
creeping flames does not do the biggest chunk of damage to ragers lol
yes... yes...
My personal experience is that +1 jump isn't that noticeable in a game.
But wildfire makes things more pretty

mk2 posting
MK2 my beloved
I think wildfire is only useful for purg? like it makes horde clear slightly faster
Hmmm. I will trust your judgement
No, why trust my judgement, you shouldn't be choosing between those two
wildfire is least useful on purg imo

"it's so pretty, sibling! such colours!"
LOL
why so
with purg you have a consistent source of fire that you can spread
The only build you take +jump 1 for smite on is EP smite because you have tons of free points.
So why not take both
With creeping flames and perilous combustion it makes the specific times you can get fire last longer
at least that's just my take on it
yes, but with wildfire the things outside your flame cone start with higher soulblaze stacks
so when you move your cone to them like a sprinkler they get to max stacks faster
Because I want movement speed and the talent that gives you toughness for building peril because I like to walk with smite out into a shooter line 
Show me your skill tree


show us yer picks
Look, this is just, like, the way I play okay man

but seriously my real choice is honestly..
Toughness gen on peril gain, +1 jump, or +15 toughness nothing else

Why didn't you just plug it into games latern?
What's this ugly ass screenshot
shit you're right brb
No enfeeble?
isnt it broken
No
I read that it only works for lmb
That was a lie, it doesn't show up as a debuff for some reason
But it does work on RMB
cool
lol
So to make a few defenses for the obvious ones
I'm taking damage because I play wit ha psyker that takes cooldown. I have extra EP chance on kill because the vet I play with is a fucking monster
I would never play EP smite with good players, they'd just steal all my shit.
Based player intentionally gimping yourself

bro it's so sad
lmao
I was introduced to Skudie's videos maybe I'll try to recreate that 
Actually, that's not true, I'd play EP smite on Magi
Both on the elevator event and boss fight you can lock all the enemies above and get all the kills yourself

But yeah, with 2 other good players I'm just like wtf I feel so useless
I'd personally drop the node beneath deflection and the cooldown one for both of smite's sub nodes but you do you
ofc there's the awesome moment of stunning a sneaky pack of ragers around a tight corner but
I don't see the point of KD honestly.(here)
I NEEED speed
I NEED KD
....Zealot staring from a window with tears in their eyes
Embrace your role
It's good when you have messed up
EP smite, unyielding dagger, surge staff, creeping flames
What can't I do
WHAT CANT I DO
wow
Get snipers from 50+ meters away hiding behind cover
this man woke up and chose violence
quell cancel and you can shoot so many random bolts in its general direction you'll eventually get a headshot
YES
or, or, or
AND WIZARDS HAVE RANGE which is dumb but true
Just spam dodge slide and hope it picks someone else
Yes, I tested everything before I updated The Atheneum

I wish people pinged more
I ping skulls and some people don't even wantem
Copium was to my own comment btw.
Even if its a really obvious mauler right in fromt its nice to have an enemy outlined
I ping all the time but my pub allies are generally either off in the own world, a bot, dead, or busy dealing with the consequences of their actions
True, sometimes I feel like I'm blind with how some enemies just sneak up on me when they aren't bright red
I just don't see how you end up with the result that warp smite is better as a smite build. I mean warp charges smite is obviously better for Surge staff.

What staff would you recommend for EP smite?
I tried it with WC and it felt SO much better on EP lmao
Much more consistent
All lightning all day.
I mean smite's main issue is crushers, and your teammates definitely aren't killing them.
Surge also does brain-free boss damage
Plus Surge is anti-ranged in general.
it makes fuck on shooters at like a half charge
That's really my main point, if you have a mid auric mael, warp charges smite doesn't even do anything.
Make them into shooted
Not to mention I had more control over when to use my ult and smite
That's not mid, that's suicidal
By "do anything" i mean contribute meaningfully to the team or the scoreboard.
If they can't do anything within a full cast of warp smite then you've found your way into a lobby you either have to solo or die in
"mid auric mael" as in the director isn't that interested in you.
So the complete opposite of what you are saying.
At which point it becomes a surge build
Which is great, I love surge builds, but that's obviously not the best choice for smite then
Yee, and surge build even without a blitz to be very useful with is just a monster on its own
Surge build I would run assail
CDR aura too useful
Right, so smite is the default choice for surge.
I use BR surge because im too lazy to reset my skill tree and I dont have a custom one saved B)
I'd just like an ability that is more grenade-like rather than all these staff-alternatives
I'd settle for just a replacement for warp rupture
You mean brain rupture?
I hope their eventual balance fix isn't going to be to make creeping flames have the same range limtations.
Warp rupture is the stupid flat damage to shriek
I tried to make a build work with it, but the fall off is just wild
I know that Skudie actually runs it
Change warp rupture to (increase attack speed by 1% per target hit for 10 seconds)
if you're going fast enough to always be in the enemy's face, it probably works, and skudie definitely goes fast
Wish granted, warp rupture now removes the range limitations they added to creeping flames. (Don't worry about the fact they're mutually exclusive, that's still in.)

I want to mimic her playstyle
When you say it works
It looks very difficult and very fun
For warp rupture to actually kill horde, you need a force sword with all the buffs, plus some warp charges.
I doesn't even kill poxwalkers right
So being in their face doesn't matter
Ah slaughterer
You can kill both poxxies and groaners with a force sword with bu
No, the unstable
What if both
And infested, and 10% mobs
No uncanny 
Wow
I don't remember exactly the set up needed, I just remember being dissapointed
Imagine if weapons were like that

once a month you do get stuff like that
S T A M I N A
why does combat axe feel so mid on psyker
Yes, Stamina
IMO it's good, it's just fighting for its life against the dueling sword which has a very similar area of use
Honestly? No attack speed boosts of any kind 
Melee psyker when?
Even with peril block stamina is good 
I feel like its efficient enough to hold off on its own. What difficulty you play?
Axe is just too sloe
Auric maelstrom?
Auric Damnation+
Stamina makes peril block better
You actually get less peril per hit blocked
one +3 stamina curio halves the peril required to block any given attack or something to that effect
so even gud weapons dont feel comparable
Thats... weird
Basically it's for soloing bosses/daemonhosts
This game is karked
I run +9 stamina
Blocked the entire combo
A dreg builds up like.. .6% peril
Only 50% peril
How do you survive shotgunners
I practiced that the other day, at +9 without any real blocking curios it''s like 30-40 after a full rotation
Ill have to write that down somewhere... fatshark really needs to fix perk descriptions
Heavy hitter still doesn't clarify its only melee dmg
Fashk
I shit my pants and cry a little on the inside. Then I try my best to do anything to prevent the shotgunners I accidentally ran past to eat me alive 
That's fair at least
Fair.
Zealot in Psyker's clothing
Telling zealots that their emperor is a psyker

tbf KD's description somewhat alludes to it if you interpret it as the percentage cost
has anyone tried my martyrdom zealot idea yet
What is it?
Max 7 stacks
So you get 1 extra stack of 5% damage
Iirc you can get max marty stacks through curios
The other 2 buffs do not
I assume it's implied
The other buffs still take from the buff tho
It's like taking extra nodes on DD
Doesn't change your DD stacks


Blame fatshark
A literal slog to do the last 500 pt stretch to 4500 for the armor
My life became easier as soon as I got this one mod 
Hey at least you haven't been spending the past two days on stealth zealot
I find ogryn the worst ones by far (Still haven't finished ogryn penances)
Doing the 50+ mission completion for certain maps is a huge pain if u wanna rush
You're talking about 500 mission complete right?
I will never finish monstrus malleum or whatever it's called
No the penance that tell u to complete 25 or 50 "thronside" missions for 20 pts for example
or if you have a shieldgryn and there's a daemonhost and you have BB
U can find along with the idol penances
Oh that's aids
Dont let the voices get to you sibling
Gl
if you have a team
As it is written, so shall it be
Did 20 missions in 3 hours 😳
I have 200 blade of faith kills to go before I complete all classes
Monstrous malleum is easy if you have a team thatll help you get it just takes someone else to tank it while you bb it down
so are +% weakspot damage blessings only based off the weakspot portion of total, like the perk
Yes
i did it with one other ogryn
hmmmm
Only multiplies the headshot bonus
Idk i dont use knife
knife is good only for speed runs tho
knife lets you live forever
probably the best defensive melee
i still like my maccabian tho
hard not to pick it on psyker
im still trying to find a use tho for the obscurus
there is none lol
its like the only melee i never use
where it just does everything subpar
Don't get mercy killer on psyker
You need another bleed blessing for it to work and that means you cant get uncanny
One day, psyker bleed staff
we have a blunt force trauma staff what if we had sharp force truama?
Dirty nail bomb staff
Beamstaff one day, one day
Voidstrike and Trauma are precision. Well, more so voidstrike.
Voidstrike but horizontal
Warp RUPTURE should be a giant bleed blade

I'm going to report you for Assail N' Battery
we have a smite staff why cant we have an assail staff
🤔 ok how would the staff look like
lmb spam = assail shards holding lmb charges up a big one that can pierce armor
Premium blitz cosmetics when 
rmb charge conjures a bunch of shards that shoot when released
You are thinking of Brain rupture
ogryns have been begging for rock skins for a long ass time
Poor warp rupture, it's so bad no one even knows what it is
shurly you mean brain burst
I only know of the ability named BB
I'm saying what he's thinking

Warp rupture is the counterpart to creeping flames
Oh, right, silly me
But it on force greatsword and I'll play another 1000 hours of darktide
Yeah, but then you could make that moonlight sword a diamond sword from Minecraft
who would win
Oh a diamond sword from minecraft
As opposed to?
Hmm, now I'm actually curious, is there a diamond sword in any other piece of media?
Also I have literally no idea what you are asking

Shriek = throws a diamond sword
or
Shriek = swings the sword sword and unleashes a wave of doom (of heretics)
Mending enchant is too zoomer for the warhammer universe, and so it has no effect.



I have just had the coldest shower this season

Carcharodon (meaning "jagged/sharp tooth") is a genus of sharks within the family Lamnidae, colloquially called the "white sharks." The only extant member is the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). The extant species was preceded by a number of fossil (extinct) species including C. hubbelli and C. hastalis.

Coughing baby psyker vs nuclear mutant
I always envisioned psyker being able to levitate 12 swords like the x12 gundam ngl
That sent really late
