Let's say next week we get an actual good psyker rotation

What y'all hoping for?

#

Well this week actually but

Tbf toilets could look good if they put the entire kitchen sink on there

#

Like that white rotation one with a helmet and some goggles would go kinda hard

Peak astronaut

what gimme beam and fireball staff

#

coruscation can stay away though

#

though the lmb was pretty lit

#

only condition

#

does no dmg to enemies

#

kills teammates

#

i love it

#

im going for the vet first

hasty breach
#

isnt voidstrike fireball staff tho

ornate hamlet
hasty breach
#

except for arc vs line concerns

supple dock
#

if tox gas made the mission timed it'd be much cooler

ornate hamlet
#

i want an arc explosion

hasty breach
#

it has to be for a ranged combat game tbh

ornate hamlet
#

they kinda do that

ornate hamlet
#

mission failed

upper sun
#

we should be able to call in tactical nukes on kill streaks

supple dock
#

can be used as a tool for the faster pace AM needs

ornate hamlet
#

tactical exterminatus whatthefuck_heresy

supple dock
#

Make it a meter that fills when gassed and slowly degens

ornate hamlet
#

just make gas do more dmg

#

right now its kinda meh

supple dock
#

It prevents the need for a million health stims

spice veldt
#

it's giving +50% toughness regen instead of -50% toughness regen so that contributes

ornate hamlet
#

lmao

#

its actually broken

#

fatshark moment

supple dock
#

the gas works as it is imo

#

Low damage with massive area of denial and toughness shred

spice veldt
#

if you stack a reasonable amount of toughness regen, you can just outheal through it

ornate hamlet
#

i see to many people pulling off door camps, more tox bombers needed

upper sun
#

nuh uhhhh

ornate hamlet
#

and instead of canning their own farts they need real poison

upper sun
#

lemme beat my doors in peace

ornate hamlet
#

That one giant end area with the 2 gates and the door way everyone camps in, needs more tox bombers or put some poisen spawns like the tox condition in that doorway

spice veldt
#

mercantile/carnival i assume

#

with the flare

ornate hamlet
#

yeah

#

im not good with names

#

and the maps all blend together anyway so im not trying

#

but doorway camping, kill it

spice veldt
#

i remember maps a bit more after that person posted the overview of the maps

supple dock
untold niche
spice veldt
#

i'd prob just slap another gate in that area and call it a day

supple dock
#

It just kinda happens in the moment then you pass it

ornate hamlet
#

i hate it

#

the entire room

supple dock
#

wtf

ornate hamlet
#

and they only use the doorway

spice veldt
#

i usually just go off on my own to farm kills cuz the rest of the map section is pretty survivable/kitable anyways

ornate hamlet
#

yeah thats what i do

#

it a wonderful end area

spice veldt
#

it's a p neat arena so it's a shame that you have this glaring and obvious chokepoint to stay in

rigid sky
#

And then the team instantly disintegrates when you get that mid objective to come out and light the flares lmao

ornate hamlet
#

lmao

rigid sky
#

I started taking bubble specifically for that breach moment

#

I much prefer defending the pit or the stairs though

#

It's basically the finale to dark carnival

#

Without the whole "you gotta get on top, stay on the mountain, duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh" memes

supple dock
#

I like staying in the center for that one

ornate hamlet
#

the center is hectic, i love it

supple dock
#

makes everything HECTIC

#

yeeee

ornate hamlet
#

every thing is coming from all sides

#

and you have the cover to deal with it

#

its fun

#

like your entire hp bar being curroption

ornate hamlet
#

O.o grabbed mid air or did you miss the slide

ornate hamlet
untold niche
#

i was last one alive so i was panicking essentially
and i knew i couldn't clutch cause like the 2 othjers didn't even spawned yet

ornate hamlet
#

ah well it was a try

untold niche
#

nobody to even revive lmao

#

idk im getting bored of this game

ornate hamlet
#

yeah when you panic is jover

untold niche
ornate hamlet
#

yeah i get burnt on this game alot

ornate hamlet
#

just not easy

untold niche
#

bon still feels pretty tanky as miniboss

ornate hamlet
#

well hit the boil it become real aperent hes a fake

untold niche
#

quiteh ard to hit pimple in 1v1 much less 1v2

ornate hamlet
#

yeah had to kill the spawn first

untold niche
#

and personally i really don't want to drag it out into a 30 minute kite fight with bon

ornate hamlet
#

its faster so kite it away

untold niche
#

thats why i don't really like clutching in this game

supple dock
#

Clutching is the BEST

untold niche
#

its just running in circles, and thats quite different from what the core game asks of you

supple dock
#

Gonna have to bother my friend to do true duo runs with

untold niche
#

i like to clutch in like csgo where there is adrenaline and you feel like a god

#

this one is just play ultra safe and run circles

ornate hamlet
#

thats also pvp

#

clutching in that

#

always a thrill

untold niche
#

in kf2 kiting was fine because the base game needed you to kite anyway

ornate hamlet
#

you just one uped several actual people

untold niche
#

i personally don't feel like kiting is DT core gameplay, but some people might argue so idk.

ornate hamlet
#

kiting in darktide isdefinantly a part of the game

supple dock
#

If you have to kite you have to kite

#

period

#

and kiting in KF2 was a VERY different thing because of the stiff movement, you had to take a predetermined route and hope for the best

untold niche
#

nah kiting in kf2 was fun, need to memorize map, control recoil while sprining backwards and keep looking forward and backwards

ornate hamlet
#

the only way to make kiting not good is to either ruin the maps, or make it so we are so op we can just brute force are way through, and that would suck so much

plucky flax
#

Yeah I used to sweat so much clutching in the division 1 darkzone.

#

Clutching in this game doesn't even increase my heart rate.

supple dock
ornate hamlet
balmy flax
#

And panicblocking fleshpound charge in kf2.
That game doesnt age well once you have played tidegames though.

untold niche
#

it feels i only really have to kite in clutch situations in this game, so i personally don't really bother.

It's not skill it's the op builds. whatthefuck_heresy

can't wait for someone to dig this up months later to call me an actual noob

supple dock
supple dock
#

If I had a non-recycle one I'd use it for you

ornate hamlet
#

based on his lack of kiting its where he belongs

untold niche
# untold niche i don't kite for shit

i mean the maps are pretty linear, and the game needs you to keep moving forward
Even in events you don't really kite, like you do literally move in circles over an area but you aren't really kiting

supple dock
untold niche
#

idk i just feel like clutching isn't worth it and isnt' fun.

supple dock
#

it's very fun for some people, and therin they find that it is worth the extra effort for an enjoyable experience!

untold niche
#

of course i understand that

#

im just saying its not fun for me.

supple dock
#

I understand. Still gonna judge you

#

But I do understand

untold niche
#

i mean you saw my gameplay :v

#

i just run into shit even if i know i might ide

supple dock
#

I do too until I'm the last one alive

ornate hamlet
#

or the spawns work for once and that hoard is just to big, wait nvm cleave is way to high

untold niche
#

also, sometimes there are stuff like a super soft dog bark and now you are dogged.

ornate hamlet
#

lmao no dog bark because it was for your teammate

untold niche
#

i did hear the bark but it was kinda soft

ornate hamlet
#

then it was for u

#

turn the music down

untold niche
#

it was a dense mixed horde so i think it was the audio system

#

i could hjear the mutie perfectly fine

ornate hamlet
#

yeah but if you have music playing loud your never hearing far away dogs

#

and it was soft because it was far

untold niche
#

i don't have like extra music, and im pretty sure the dogs have a set distance before pouncing

ornate hamlet
#

yeah they have a range

#

but its decently long

untold niche
#

yeah so it couldn't be far

#

like,

#

since the distance is always the same

#

its not like this time round they pounced from far away making the sound softer

ornate hamlet
#

its not always the same, ive been jumped at from point blank, half way down a hallway or across an entire room dogs are weird

untold niche
#

ike there is a max distance

#

that one stays the same

#

i think there is a preferred distance as well

if you just want cheap netflix

#

what are these people

#

though atleast it was a bolter and not a plasma

#

there is some hope for them

hearty dagger

Normally i don't bitch about teammates

But these people are something else man

#

I just want to get in one more on my auric streak and i get the fucking clown college dropouts

marble crater
#

Bolter needs 5m to prime, so actually useless when surrounded that bad

ornate hamlet
hearty dagger
#

When i run bolter, it's on zealot

#

With my funny reload build

#

So i can melee, slam 15 rounds into a crusher at ludicrous speed as the god emperor intended, and then reload faster than the vet

untold niche

bolter 100% fits better with zealot, mostly because on vet the plasma exist

apaprently 2 bleed nades clear out ragers

why he doesn't whip out his pub meta peesword peeC4 i don't understand

shredder nades are the goat and they proc dumdum for relevant guns, 2 stronk

ornate hamlet
#

it goes full way around

#

once you realize how broken everything is

#

but making a dumb build thinking its good is not good

untold niche
#

you should try this sub optimal build i made for caxe zealot that is high apm

#

you need to pop off stealth as much as possible and dodge so you can get stealth back

untold niche
#

i got a 5 yellow on the second match with it but it was sweaty as hell

lyric burrow
#

i think the most deranged psyker build i ever did was DD Scriers + Thrust Headtaker Achlys with autopistol

untold niche
#

so standard gunker, but instead of ds4 laspistol you have downgrad ds4 and downgrade laspistol?

lyric burrow
#

heavily downgraded ds4

#

with worse horde clear

and movement

i also did taxe 4 with Deci/Shred and BB purge

what blessings should i want on a purgatus staff

ornate hamlet
plucky flax

Flurry and nexus

ornate hamlet

the staf is so simple as long as the stats are right you will be fine

#

dmg is the dump stat

#

i like the purgatus, needs a cleave nerf

lyric burrow
#

flurry nexus

#

it doesnt really have much to replace those 2 but the blessing pool isnt too big so you should be able to find these

ornate hamlet
#

is it 5 or 4 blessings

lyric burrow
#

i can only think of 4

ornate hamlet
#

you have flurry, nexus, barrage, and the sprint one

#

yeah 4 i think

No focused channeling on purgatus?

@autumn lark what help do you need with psyker

#

if you are complaining about HP its most likely a build issue

autumn lark
#

Stagger immunity

if your complaining about hp play zealot

Play ogryn chadgryn

lyric burrow

while charging

ornate hamlet
#

ogryn is fun

#

but not as a first

untold niche
marble crater
#

Just heavy attack everyone, who needs dodges if you can stagger everything and be unkillable with toughness regen staregryn

untold niche
# ornate hamlet but not as a first

ogryn was my first and i found him fun as a first :v
i think actually he would have been boring as a non first due to how little mechanics he need to care about

ornate hamlet
untold niche
#

anyway if he does reply, please help him people

ornate hamlet
#

the toughness regen, the dodges and blocks

untold niche
ornate hamlet
#

psyker is a tank in all ways but toughness and health

ornate hamlet
#

pushing is best stagger

untold niche

#

oh

#

dodge

#

space bar

#

or what ever your bind is

untold niche
#

could be he is getting hit while charghing staff

ornate hamlet
#

man want to stand still in play go play ogryn

untold niche
#

anyway im convinced its either a build issue or some simple gameplay advice

#

please help him when he comes back

lyric burrow
#

it was mostly used for being greedy with trauma back when we had more toughness to tank hits pre patch 13

#

stagger immunity i mean

#

focused channeling

untold niche
# untold niche in what situation / context

@autumn lark will be last ping, man going go shower.
Post your full build, and explain in what situation you feel like the lack of stagger immunity is fucking you up on psyker / why you hate psyker
I personally feel its either build or very simple gameplay advice that would solve your problem.

#

most of the time i see when people complain about psyker its really a build problem.

ornate hamlet
#

probably is that, or dodging is just a pain

untold niche
#

you have to dodge on any class barring tank ogryn

ornate hamlet
#

yeah but psyker you really have to dodge

#

be on game

untold niche
#

idk even on zealot you have to dodge as well :v

#

its not like you can tank 4 hits on zealot

ornate hamlet
#

no but he also has weapons that stagger better and kill hoards better

#

so easier time about it

untold niche
#

thats why i take illisi

#

illisi horde clear even easier than rashad on zealot

ornate hamlet
#

the illisi is, so simple, left right left right

#

can i get a 45

#

or up down

marble crater
untold niche
lyric burrow
#

special heavy is truly the most intense gameplay loop

#

although most psyker weapons arent that complex tbf

ornate hamlet
#

yeah

#

i like the diemos simply because its somewhat interesting

untold niche
#

the only complex part about tide combos i feel is recognizing which part of the string you are in due to the so many similar animations

ornate hamlet
#

its tying it all together

#

dodging, comboing, aiming, and paying attention to specials and elites

lyric burrow
#

yeah the combat isnt super simple

untold niche
#

else its not hard to tell yourself "Light then heavy for horde" and "heavy then light for single target" for crusher weapon.

lyric burrow
#

although a lot of weapons end up boiling down to H1 L1

#

and when its not that its like light spam

untold niche
#

i don't like to block reset so yeah :v

lyric burrow
#

crusher is nice in that regard

#

where you have actual paths

ornate hamlet
#

or L1 h1

untold niche
#

if i do then yeah its easy even though theres like 4 combos on crusher

lyric burrow
#

illisi and psword barely have a moveset cause your just looping the special anyway

#

70% of moves arent gonna be used

untold niche
#

i loop lights on illisi, found it much safer

#

no special

#

i genuinely i can't understand how you guys can find the window to special in surrounded horde

#

in events

ornate hamlet
#

im not kidding

#

its stupid strong

untold niche
#

the special is slightly longer than dodge

#

and sometimes

#

due to lack of space

ornate hamlet
#

dodge twice

untold niche
#

your dodge is cut short

ornate hamlet
#

take anticipation if you have to

#

but thats how you get those specials off

untold niche
#

if its surrounded horde you prob don't have space ot even dodge back to same space since it will get filled up

#

maybe you do but i genuinely don't know

untold niche
#

using lights is enough to actually win against horde

#

i only special heavy when im desperate for toughness

ornate hamlet
#

yeah with the illisi

#

but if your surrounded

#

you need to get unsurrounded

#

screw killing them get out first

#

or do both

true lake
lyric burrow
#

special light is also p fast

untold niche
#

i kind of feel no point to special light ngl

#

just off how much toughness it gives back

marble crater
#

ReVanced, so good for mobile YouTube

lyric burrow
#

special light is still p good cleave and sets up a special heavy

untold niche
supple dock
#

Special heavy needs time to prep

ornate hamlet
supple dock
#

Light attacking gives space

true lake
lyric burrow
#

yeah it gives you room to special heavy

supple dock
#

I think anyways? That's the most simple answer

lyric burrow
#

cause that space that was being occupied denying special heavy

#

is no longer occupied

untold niche
lyric burrow
#

so

#

no

#

illisi does not have infinite cleave on anything

untold niche
#

imagine special heavy have infinite cleave

#

instant full bar toughness

ornate hamlet
#

ok i got reemed about this last night when i complained about the void, its not infinite cleave its just way to much

untold niche
#

i think most i got on special heavy was half bar toughness

supple dock
#

Tbh light spamming is fine until bruiser shows then special will deal with it

untold niche
#

thats what flak perk is for

#

ezpz

supple dock
#

Then when you've got room you heavy because that shit is bonkers

lyric burrow
#

when you consider practicality

ornate hamlet
#

yeah the few times i see void blow up its a mixed hoard and its usually armor

untold niche
#

i actually thought it was infi as well

ornate hamlet
#

might as well be inf

lyric burrow
#

its rare you would use all its cleave

#

although i do remember back when its cleave was based on the server ping

untold niche
#

like paper burning away

supple dock
#

I only use special heavies to open for slaughterer and for medium threats, otherwise normal heavies

ornate hamlet
lyric burrow
#

ye if you arent gonna do special heavy youd want to do heavy light

#

repeat

#

but right now its anti everything

#

Oh and toughness

i also think it shouldnt do cara damage

ngl i use void so much idk how they should nerf it so i stay happy, it retains its identity and its actually nerfed

it shouldnt be that good

atm i feel void and trauma is essentially do you want one straight line or do you want AOE

ornate hamlet

i look at trauma as grenade stick

however has no synergy with dd

void can

lone ravine

trauma at least has a slight ability to shoot over obstacles if you aim upward

untold niche

it doesn't need synnergy with DD when it can safely like two taps crushers, one tap bruisers and idk the BP for gunners but might as well be 1 tap

back then shooters mattered more

i don't know how pre OP void was like

the main thing i want void to lose is crusher damage and monstrosity stun lock, honestly surge probably shouldnt exist with current true aim and how strong crits are

i think if void gets nerfed, i would go with Don's suggestion

i thought theres no monster stun lock? only stagger

oh kill carapace dmg too

you can stun lock it with crits

in that case make my sword 1 shot, it takes skill...

if they killed crit damage and stun lock i might be ok with it

noo

yeah i feel if void does get nerfed those two need to go, but cara damage should be kept

cara damage i mean

skill is not an excuse nerf it

oh im half joking to

anyway uh, no stunlock, less cleave.
but cara damage i want it to stay :v

ornate hamlet

you have swords pupose build for armor

most of them

and you still need a ranged option...

uh, whats wrong with ranged for cara and sword for horde clear.
Even zealot has builds like that.

ornate hamlet

i have a thunder hammer, screw it i also need a rending sugical revolver

lyric burrow
#

you can have ranged cara damage

#

ammo less one shots though

#

probably not

#

with the existence of uncanny crushers do not need to be getting one shot by a void crit

#

esp when ds4 2 shots them, deimos 2-3 shots them and knocks them over

#

trauma also dumpsters them

#

and surge has decent damage into them

ornate hamlet
#

to much anti armor

#

their only threat is them 1 shotting you

its laughable

don't really think void is even broken

i'd rather they keep the power of the weapon but make it harder to play.

i do not think you could keep current void balanced unless one shot literally tops off peril

it being slow matters way less

each staff has a pretty clear weakness

void's weakness is the user

ngl i find it hard to discuss due to the fact that i would need to assume trauma gets nerfed as well, but in that case, how much is it nerfed.

#

else i would use trauma any day.

paper lily
#

only thing that needs nerfed about anything in regards to psyker staves is peril gain

untold niche
#

even if trauma armour damaged got reduced, just having ranged stagger on crushers is insane

paper lily
#

all of the staves are op

#

but they're not overly so

lyric burrow

yeah the stagger/aoe on trauma is what needs to go

ornate hamlet

they are overly so

that is an example of an op weapon

but that doesnt excuse other op weapons

no they are in different leagues

lyric burrow

it shouldnt shut the enemies off

it can still stagger

cool that guy commited murder my theft is so much better

you are like untouchable with trauma

look u guys are free to play with whatever equivalent ogryn power maul is for whatever build ur doing

untold niche

then how will it stagger?
normal small stagger with normal stagger resist?

paper lily

but you need to keep the power fantasy working and making stuff feel strong

#

i don't think they're op

plasma gun just is tho

untold niche

yeah i think, the power fantasy aspect is important

lyric burrow

you also need to maintain difficulty in the hardest difficulty

idk i find darktide balance and its discussion to be in this really awkward place as well.

paper lily

boring weapon

ornate hamlet

balance wise

paper lily

it's overtuned just cuz it has cleave

rest is whatever

#

if i can play weap specialist and weave revolver shots into hordes it's op

untold niche
#

everything seems so balanced around stats rather than just making shit harder.
Its a casual game, but it also should be hard (im not saying people are hypocritical with this sentence, because i also feel sort of the same way)

Its just DT is in this weird spot.

#

in other games you could potentially balance something by making it harder to use while keeping somewhat of the same power level

paper lily
#

all of the enemy types are sort of designed for you to have a balanced group but there are weapons that sorta break the mold for the game

ornate hamlet
#

well its hard to add things that are interesting when we got tool that just obliterate everything

paper lily
#

trauma doesn't do a shitload of dmg to anything that isn't unarmored, it's there to knock armor on its ass

untold niche
paper lily
#

an easy comparison of power fantasy vs balance is plasma gun vs bolter

#

bolter fits the power fantasy and actually works for purpose, but it's fucking shit because plasma exists

ornate hamlet
lyric burrow
#

something can be hard to use and still OP yeah

#

its cooler

#

but its still OP

ornate hamlet
#

your not playing the game, your playing the weapon

#

thats stupid

lyric burrow
#

the people on your team will still not need to play the game

untold niche
paper lily
#

no bolter is pretty much balanced cuz it's just balanced, the power fantasy aspect is still alive in it

#

how would you propose to nerf trauma if it doesn't kd bulwarks and crushers?

#

it's clearly designed for this purpose

lyric burrow
#

yes you worked for it

#

but that level of power should not be attainable

#

at all imo

#

it simply makes things too easy

i'm all for the game being more difficult btw

why not?

Thats like saying i should not score good marks everytime because i studied.

cool 10% of people can use that weapon well, its like irelia in league very few play her well. But that champ still won every lane because it was just that strong

so saying that's some measure of it being op is a bit of a meme

and this is why i mentioned plasmagun

cuz that shit is op

untold niche
# true lake game needs balancing fixes yeah but I don't think psyker as a whole is OP by any...

again meta commentary
I think people have different expectations of "OP" and BPs
As someone who came into patch13
My expectation = meta build might be able to oneshot crusher
People like yoshi = should never one shot crusher

you could also see how i advocated for harder to pull off but same power level
but yoshi is "should never hit this power level"
The thing is we don't really know what fatshark wants.

And of course, its really hard to state and contextualize all of these biases and expectations.

I never thought balancing disucssion would get this interesting though.

one shotting a crusher is very niche thing that you have to have basically your entire build setup for

you put surge on your void which you do anyway

extra true of void though since most weapons (not all definantly not the staffs) would have you prefer to melee

untold niche
# ornate hamlet you should never play around getting surrounded

idk i feel theres so much to say about this sentence alone but im going to sleep soon so i will just give pointers on what i think i will say

  • do you mean this with current power level? then if so, wouldn't this change once everything gets nerfed
  • but you DO get surrounded, so of course you would want an answer to that, thats like saying you don't take stealth for revives because no one get downed / "you don't play around downs"

@lyric burrow you judge if im the "brick wall"

  • i give situation void can't handle
  • person argues that void can handle everything, including that situation
  • seems like we disagree on definitions, but ultimately i did provide a situation where void is not able to handle itself which contradicts what the person said about how void can handle everything

i wont lie its hard to have disscussions like this sometimes cause people play for different reasons
You guys fundamentally disagree on what void does well and doesnt do well, and you care more about power fantasy than Don as far as i can tell which will also affect how you want to nerf things.

i cant say personally ive had a ton of issues with void in any situation but you also have other weapons for a reason anyway so i think it can still be too strong in other areas despite having a weakness

as an outsider i can really only say so much but the situation you are describing is one that only really comes up when things have gone pretty bad as kiting and moving around via pushing if you get into a tight space are pretty universal options to get out of this spot

I see. What I meant was if enemies aren't in a line where void can hit them all, and you don't have enough space to literally just run around and whittle them on void you pretty much have to take out your melee / other horde clear option.

I thought it was pretty common due to the big zombie horde director sometimes spawns and quoted mercantile as an example because it seems most prominent there.
