#

So what, they die quicker, that’s arguably a good thing

empty ocean
#

something that happens very often is i use all 3 on specials then elites come around and i cant kill any because i ran out and after teammates shoot at the blue flash making it impossible to build more psionics

vestal fulcrum
#

You still have your other weapons, though, and even then, some elites will die with or without EP regardless

marble crater
#

If you are using purgatus then melee elites are not a problem, if it's gunners you need to kill one and then have EP for all others

rigid sky
#

The moment you kill 1 with 2 ruptures (the horror)

#

All subsequent ones will be EP'd anyway

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

or you can blow them all up at once with purgatus or trauma if they're close, yeah

#

or poke 'em in the head with your deimos or ds4

radiant frigate
#

or you slice them with your trusty illisi

supple dock

just run up to a horde and explode

#

SIBLINGS I have failed you all

#

I'm having so much fun as zealot ;;

#

I'm playing it like you play Shade Kerillian

marble crater
supple sedge
#

shame

marble crater
#

POV: You discover there are more classes than psyker

lone ravine
#

you have: psyker, psyker that really loves melee, psyker that really loves guns, big psyker who doesn't want to think

marble crater
#

And I love playing them all

radiant frigate
radiant frigate
#

i have a mighty craving for twohanders that psyker cannot exactly satisfy

#

please fatshark, force greatsword

#

i beg of thee

supple dock
#

Yeah people have been telling me for months to try it but I just didn't want to

#

I'm weird like that I guess

marble crater
#

Yes, you are

#

Your mind will be blown when you play ogryn I guess

rigid sky
#

Love all the different Zealot styles

#

But knife/knives/stealth/Flamer is probably my favourite right now

supple dock
supple dock
marble crater
#

That's fair, good thing is you can switch to other nice zealot weapons soon, because you have used dagger on psyker so much already

supple dock
#

It's also difficult for me to keep it all straight

#

zealot is level 30 already and I used Lacerate/uncanny to level lol

#

I did no actual damage with my dagger but my bleed still worked

marble crater
rigid sky
#

Ew lacerate

supple dock
#

I didn't really have crit options

#

so ofc I used lacerate

marble crater
supple dock
#

? why would I use crit when I'm not 30?

#

no access to blazing piety

#

You guys can judge all you want but my logic was sound

marble crater
#

But... scourge

supple dock
#

Yeah, and where do I get the bleed to make it work?

#

I guess it comes with it but it's already a low chance

upper galleon
marble crater
#

From scourge?

upper galleon
#

Flesh tearer is just better

rigid sky
#

Riposte too

supple dock
#

yes, my current dagger is flesh tearer

#

you guys aren't understanding what I'm saying at all

#

I used lacerate to guarantee bleed, I didn't know how much crit I had

upper galleon
#

If you are hitting weakspots and the enemy dies before you can fully stack scourge gj you dont need scourge

supple dock
#

I don't need to be told how much better flesh tearer is

#

I know it is

upper galleon
#

You waste more damage going for bodyshots on knife then what you get from lacerate

marble crater
upper galleon
#

Im not talking about flesh tearer im talking about lacerate

supple dock
#

yes, yes

rigid sky
#

Lacerate is like crit damage/weakspot damage perks

#

Mere mention of the name compels me to discourage it

#

It's a reflec

#

X

supple dock
#

all I did was use lacerate because I didn't have any of the crit nodes or talents

#

once I had it, I switched

#

nothing wrong with that

#

I'm currently running flesh tearer/riposte

rigid sky
#

I mean nothing wrong with using greens while you are levelling too lol

#

I would put uncanny on it still though

supple dock
#

I was playing on damnation with friends

rigid sky
#

Especially of you are using a flamer

supple dock
#

I had lacerate/uncanny

rigid sky
#

*if

#

Without Chastise

rich spindle
#

after I saw the best zealot ive played with run lacerate on his knife I stopped caring about blessings so much

supple dock
#

You guys are acting as if I'm completely ignorant about how the game works

marble crater
#

No we aren't

lethal swan
#

Just rolled a bajillion Trauma Force staves trying to go for a Blazing Spirit build, which one of these should I use lol

image.png
#

I know they aren't perfect

supple dock
#

the right one

#

blast radius is everythingfor blazing trauma

lethal swan
#

ok!

#

should I put flak on it instead of specialist?

#

or crit chance

supple dock
#

swap warp flurry for blazing spirit and specialists to flak yeah

lethal swan
#

sounds great, thanks man!

marble crater
#

See, you do know how the game works thumbsup_ogryn

rigid sky
#

Ideal is Flak crit or Flak maniac iirc

supple dock
lethal swan
#

yeah I remember being told flak/crit is usually best

#

but I guess I won't miss the 5% crit chance lol

#

make up for that poopoo damage stat

supple dock
#

yeah, having 25% damage to burning on flak is really important

#

And you don't even use blazing trauma for the main damage, you use it for soulblaze damage

#

You just use the blast to bully armor

marble crater
#

Still good if you can one shot bruisers with it though

supple dock
#

yee

lethal swan
#

Hell yeah

#

Thanks guys great help!

#

I had no idea the 25% damage on flak applies to burning

marble crater
#

It does and burning targets the base armor type, so for maulers that's also flak

lethal swan
#

That's awesome

#

Hell yeah

rigid sky
#

On top of the blast damage itself

#

Lots of juicy Flak targets

ornate sedge
#

lemme play as a weirdboy

ornate sedge
#

idk but the surge staff kinda sucks ass

#

they need to buff it

supple dock
#

??? surge is great

#

Allows you to play very reactively

supple dock
spice veldt
#

crit chance scales with the critical bonus stat

#

you can check it by pressing [V] with the weapon selected in your inventory and hovering over the Critical Bonus stat card

ornate sedge
#

idk maybe im just biased. the secondary attack takes forever to kill shit

#

in my experience better off with purge or void

marble crater
#

Surge and Shriek kills most things really quickly

potent echo
#

i assume by "shit" you mean ogins

#

surge vs ogins isnt a good time

ornate sedge
#

i mean anything. to me it feels bad to use, channeling an attack only to not kill whatever you're attacking

potent echo
#

mostly two shots things other than on crit

#

which isnt that rare with nexus

ornate sedge
#

its been a while so maybe i need to get a better roll and try it again but idk maybe its just a matter of preference

tired estuary
#

It also stuns them and is overall pretty idiotproof

potent echo
#

can hit oneshot on gunners if you have enough buffs going

ornate sedge
#

finally got surge for void staff so ive been having fun with that in aurics recently.

marble crater

#

One message removed from a suspended account.

spice veldt
#

probably

tired estuary
#

Idk surge is def worse than voidtrauma but it probably shouldn't be buffed to "compete" with those

spice veldt
#

though the +crit damage stuff on the critical bonus stat card description is wrong for some reason

potent echo
#

you are looking for the +melee crit rate thing

ornate sedge
potent echo
#

spoilers: its not for melee

marble crater
#

Surge is very viable

tired estuary
#

Its not actually underperforming tho

potent echo
#

its a different playstyle

marble crater
#

I had some of my best games with surge

potent echo
#

if you want to hang back and chuck spells surge cant win against void

ornate sedge
#

perhaps. like i said, need to make one myself to judge it

potent echo
#

if you want to run around like a madman with a knife surge is probably more flexible

ornate sedge
#

been falling into a comfy spot recently with purge/assail or smite/void

tired estuary
#

Like its totally cool to dislike surge but rn even after stagger "nerfs" trauma still just turns most of the game off

ornate sedge
#

stun shit, kill shit, simple as

potent echo
#

also you can blitz swap surge staff and act like a gamer

ornate sedge
#

is there a reason to run a melee on psyker other than a force sword? they feel very strong compared to the alternatives

#

been loving deimos lately

spice veldt
#

for mobility reasons or if it's the duelling sword 4

#

or if you just like them

tired estuary
#

duelling sword 4 digit headshot dmg

spice veldt
#

other melee weapons are still pretty good as well

spice veldt
tired estuary
#

Anything else is For Fun

ornate sedge
#

is duelling better than deimos for killing crushers and the like?

dense beacon
#

Personally I like the big headshot damage on the dueling sword 4, and I feel like the damage is much faster than most power swords

wind spruce
patent wing
#

poke stick better

spice veldt
#

i don't know about the BPs, but the ds4 can hit mauler (non-crit) and crusher (requires 1 crit) two-shots with DD

ornate sedge
#

hmmm

spice veldt
#

the DS4 has ~40% more damage than the other two duellies

patent wing
#

ds4 has worse wave clear than deimos tho

spice veldt
#

so its numbers are quite a bit up there

patent wing
#

slaughtere deimos almost an illisi

ornate sedge
#

the deimos light thrust into heavy thrust can really fuck up heavies, but i will try the duelling sword

potent echo
#

Both are similar enough

ornate sedge
#

lack of deflector will hurt tho

potent echo
#

DS4 has movetech tho

wind spruce
#

DS can oneshot crushers

ornate sedge
#

oh fr?

potent echo
spice veldt
#

and DD but yeah it's fairly consistent

#

esp with riposte

ornate sedge
#

scriers instead of shield though

#

rough

spice veldt
#

if you took the crit talents, riposte/shred, and with scrier's, it'll be ~60% crit chance

potent echo
#

I started to take shield on my zarona psyker

ornate sedge
#

dome shield is the best f in the game imo

potent echo
#

I can say it's much better than scrier

#

Mainly as counter shooter

ornate sedge
#

shield down, kill melee horde, finish ranged off when you can

potent echo
#

Get your surgicals and pewpww

ornate sedge
#

best strat i have found for every encounter

wind spruce
ornate sedge
#

what is the best use case for gaze? gun psyker seems like the obvious choice

potent echo
#

A fast firing gun

#

Or just a melee weapon lol

#

Melee gaze DS4 is horde clear KEKW_ogryn

ornate sedge
#

just absolute fuckuppery

#

i can see it

potent echo
#

Making weapona go from 2hit kill to 1hit kill on hordes really makes a difference

ornate sedge
#

tried it with illisi? been thinking about rolling a good one

potent echo
#

Illisi doesn't need gaze

#

Just use the stroke to build peril

#

And do venting for crazy control and damage

ornate sedge
#

i have no idea how illisi works i guess

quartz barn
#

special into attack

#

thats it

ornate sedge
#

thought it just had nice muilti target attacks

potent echo
#

Special and hit everything

quartz barn
#

for blessings get stuff like slaughterer and nexus for more dmg

potent echo
#

Mauler? Special
Mutant? Special
Horde? Special

wind spruce
spice veldt
#

most weapons have crit/weakspot falloff after the first target hit so the crit chance from scrier's is whatevs for melee hordeclear

wind spruce
ornate sedge
#

i have something to do after work now. gotta get a good illisi and start obliterating shit

spice veldt
#

tfw when crit actually contributes meaningfully to hordeclear

potent echo
#

Like in the old days of vt2

spice veldt
#

huh
is that maybe why they neutered weakspot/crit falloff in this game

potent echo
#

Crits were sexy

#

Now they're like whatever

#

Doesn't even have a cool effect anymore

spice veldt
#

yeah that air distortion effect

#

not even a dedicated yellow hitmarker for them

potent echo
#

That reminds me of the triangles and squares KEKW_ogryn

spice veldt
#

were those the shape of vt2 hitmarkers?

potent echo
#

I think it's a mod..? But yea elite kills were triangles

#

Orange triangle for critkill, red for normal kill

lethal swan
#

what should you aim for when rolling an Illisi? I have had horrible luck with mine lol

potent echo
#

Some damage perk

wind spruce
potent echo
#

Some damage blessing

wind spruce
#

But maybe not

potent echo
#

You can make it anyhow

#

Mine has slaughterer and unstable

#

Because it's an illisi it kills shit either way

spice veldt
#

prob if it lets it hit a breakpoint

potent echo
#

I used DD illisi recently

#

Seems to chop bruiser heads quite well even without special

rigid sky
#

With DD or SG or both you can oneshot Mutants with it

lethal swan
#

Sounds good lol

potent echo
#

Yea it's strong with DD

lethal swan
#

I have mine with Uncanny Strike/unstable power

rigid sky
#

Doing that with a horizontal cleave attack feels busted as hell

#

I think mine is slaughterer bloodthirsty

lethal swan
#

Do you just spam special attack into heavy on the illisi?

rigid sky
#

Which is like a pseudo power cycler 3

#

Sometimes

#

Sometimes I keep swinging with plain heavies once Slaughterer is up, or do special heavy heavy or special heavy light

potent echo
#

Special heavy usually only when the horde gets too thicc

#

Or mixed hordes

lethal swan
#

got it lol

potent echo
#

It your normal heavies are getting stopped then do special heavies, simple

rigid sky
#

With Bloodthirsty I wanna be specialing more too anyway

lethal swan
#

got it

rigid sky
#

Between soulstealer and mettle

wind spruce
rigid sky
#

But Bloodthirsty isn't usually recommended

lethal swan
#

my current one

xsjvojhyal2d1.png
rigid sky
#

Looks great

lethal swan
rigid sky
#

Not having uncanny on it is sad I gotta say

#

If I could just magic up a perfect one

wind spruce
rigid sky
#

It'd be yours but with slaughterer instead of unstable power

lethal swan
#

I still can't find any ranks of Slaughterer for some reaosn

#

oh man

#

that's the one I want lol

#

I guess unstable isn't too bad on it because usually I'm casting spells until I get to high peril and then I switch to melee to slap away the survivors

#

100% lol

#

the brunt store is so weird, did they change it so that the blessings there are only like max rank 2 now?

rigid sky
#

At least it makes it easier to farm for shit like manstopper

#

I usually focus more on his white and green inventories unless I'm still levelling

#

His blues are usually not workable

supple dock
#

that's enough gen chat for me today

#

I got accused of being a devil worshipper

rigid sky
#

Wait you mean you aren't?

supple dock
#

If anything I worship lucifer as a force of nature, not some diety

rigid sky
#

I thought that's what DT stood for

lethal swan
#

yeah the blues are horrific lmao

supple dock
#

Devil Time

lethal swan
#

but the greens and whites are usually good

#

just got a 380 grenade gauntlet....

supple dock
#

380 means nothing if it has shit distribution and no good perks/blessings KEKW

lethal swan
#

yes, but its a 380 with good distribution!

marble crater
#

It means the crafting update will fix it

lethal swan
#

Hadron is about to kill it tho

#

FR

#

😂

supple dock
rigid sky
#

I wish I liked the grenade gauntlet

#

It looks fun but just doesn't work for shit in my hands

#

Much prefer the rumbler (and I think that's kinda shit too)

supple dock
#

kickback best

lethal swan
#

I like it but holy hell it gets hard to use when there's like 10928301928031928 shooters

supple dock
#

my foot is tingling

rigid sky
#

Kickback, Achlys also.

lethal swan
#

4 gunners: no problem

supple dock
#

please don't tell me it's nueropathy

#

lethal swan
#

210938102938 gunners: uh oh sisters

rigid sky
#

Achlys gun lugger is the tits

rigid sky
#

Or the "spicy rock" if you prefer

marble crater
lethal swan
#

I love achlys

#

why god

supple dock
supple dock
#

If you can 1shot brusers with the special it's fine

lethal swan
#

ok

#

off I go

marble crater
lethal swan
#

LOL

#

i'm hoarding like a madman

supple dock
#

laughs in 200k plasteel

#

I ran out of money before I ran out of materials

#

yesterday I dumped like 4m

lethal swan
#

ok it kills bruisers in 1 shot on a special headshot

#

pray for me my friends

#

pray for me

#

game crashed while leaving the psykorium

#

uh oh

worthy tendon
#

Psykers I have a question as I’m currently leveling my psyker

quartz barn
#

even fs doesnt want you to use that thing

worthy tendon
#

What should I be using alongside assail?

lethal swan
#

wow.

#

why.

worthy tendon
#

FS wants you to block apparently

lethal swan
#

LOL

#

full block build time

worthy tendon
lethal swan
#

footage of me standing in a gunner mob

#

with my new sword

hearty dagger
#

So i've picked up decaying winter lately and ngl having titles like that game would be cooler than what we have rn

lethal swan
#

Oh yeah waht do you want to pick up on a Deimos? I think I rolled an ok one so far

hearty dagger
#

Basically, get X amount of X on a class and get a special title for it

lethal swan
worthy tendon
lethal swan
#

yes....

worthy tendon
#

Bro is Alucard

lethal swan
#

LMAO

supple dock
lethal swan
#

hell yeah

#

Should I put on Carapace?

#

or Flak

worthy tendon
#

That thing gonna chop up errythang

supple dock
#

You can 1shot bruisers

lethal swan
#

i'm guessing last slaught is Slaughterer

supple dock
#

So I'd go maniac

lethal swan
#

oh snap

#

no way

#

ok

worthy tendon
#

What staff should I be using with assail

supple dock
# lethal swan ok

With maniac you SHOULD be able to 2shot a mutant with special heavies

worthy tendon
#

(I’m not a psyker main yet and am feeling silly)

lethal swan
#

that's crazy

lethal swan
#

but that's just me

worthy tendon
#

Good to know, good to know

supple dock
#

You use other weapons with voidstrike???

lethal swan
supple dock
#

Seriously though, void does everything

worthy tendon
#

I like the silly needle ability

supple dock
#

You legitimately don't need to switch unless you're in that much trouble

rigid sky
#

Assail is easier to hit moving targets with

worthy tendon
#

And I have a skill issue when it comes to aiming which silly needle solves

lethal swan
rigid sky
#

And illisi can deal with wide mobs

supple dock
#

oh wait that was a deimos

lethal swan
#

I really enjoy using it

supple dock
#

You can 1shot a mutant with specail light1

lethal swan
#

oh shit

#

LOL

#

yeah it was a DEIMOS

rigid sky
#

Voidstrike can sometimes oneshot Mutants btw

lethal swan
#

I ran out of Illisi's

rigid sky
#

If you go DD

supple dock
#

to be honest, deimos works just as well as illisi with voidstrike

rigid sky
#

Feels very satisfying

supple dock
#

voidstrike is like A tier in everything it does

rigid sky
#

Deimos works better for like a flurry voidstrike imo

#

Illisi for a nexus surge voidstrike

worthy tendon
#

I have a Deimos and voidstrike equipped on my psyker rn

#

Let’s gooo

supple dock
#

i'd argue that Surge/Blazing Trauma are S tier

rigid sky
#

Void stronger than surge imo

lethal swan
#

so for the Deimos, should I put carapace on it instead?

supple dock
#

Surge is more reactive than void

#

You can get yourself out of bad sitautions much easier than with void imo

supple dock
#

and if you need 25% More damage you know that you need it

lethal swan
#

will do

#

😂

supple dock
#

tf was that emoticon

lethal swan
#

bro

#

you wipped out the Dango

supple dock
#

LMAO

lethal swan
#

I legit think that was dango LOL

#

oh yeah and Slaughterer for the second perk right

supple dock
#

for deimos?

#

Hmmm

lethal swan
#

yeah

#

i ran out of upgrade mats so

#

just in case I don't roll something lol

#

lol what about precog/riposte

supple dock
#

tbh I'm a fan of riposte

#

precog will work too

#

precog/uncanny would probably be amazing

#

I'd personally go riposte/uncanny but it's fine

lethal swan
#

nice nice

supple dock
#

And since you're using deimos

#

You can use warp flurry/Surge

lethal swan
supple dock
#

Since you already have a way to deal with crushers

marble crater
#

Uncanny and Exe on Deimos, for the stacking meme

lethal swan
#

LOL

supple dock
#

unstable power works too

#

Since you can use the deimos to keep you at high peril without risk

#

the force swords are SO versatile when it comes to blessings

lethal swan
#

yeah true

#

haha

supple dock
#

You almost can't go wrong

lethal swan
#

is riposte good on the Illisi?

supple dock
#

ye

lethal swan
supple dock
#

If you headshot special anything and crit it's dead

#

Besides the ogryn

lethal swan
#

oooo

#

Riposte/Uncanny on this, swap Specialists to Maniac or something?

#

or is finesse too low

supple dock
#

the finesse is painful but you should be fine

#

first target anddamage are massive

lethal swan
supple dock
#

and yeah feel free to try uncanny, you can get max stacks with it I believe

lethal swan
#

maybe this one instead?

supple dock
#

in one swing

#

YES

lethal swan
#

I didn't even know there was deflector 1

supple dock
#

Good sword

lethal swan
#

YAY

#

LETS GOOO

supple dock
#

That sword will get you through AM no problem

lethal swan
#

so crit chance to something else, deflector to uncanny

#

my brain is expanding, thank you Kusu.

supple dock
#

Hmmm

lethal swan
#

I am becoming more powerful as I spend time in here

supple dock
#

Try hitting a mutant before changing anything

#

Mutant kills are really important

lethal swan
#

yeah

supple dock
#

cause if you aren't close to killing a mutant you'll swap elite for mutant

#

and if you are fine killing a mutant

#

Actually I mean

#

swap crit chance for mutant if you're close to killing it

#

myb

rich spindle
#

illisi kill time on muties is painful

marble crater
#

Since Atlas isn't here; that correction was so Kusucore

supple dock
#

lmao

#

fuck off

lethal swan
#

let me test

marble crater
#

Be glad I don't have his emotes

lethal swan
#

with charged heavies

#

if I get the "orange" damage number, which I guess is headshot, its a 2 shot kill

#

all white numbers, its a 3 shot kill

supple dock
#

How close are you to killing it in 2 shots?

#

without crit I mean

#

or even headshots

#

try heavy body shotting and tell me what % of hp he's missing

upper sun
lethal swan
#

yeah, I know, I jsut didn't know there was a deflector one lmao

#

1400 on a heavy body shot with special on

upper sun
#

tbh

supple dock
#

Hmm

upper sun
#

i would use the first sword

#

with maniac slaught

supple dock
#

yeah that wouldn't be bad either

upper sun
#

while adding a couple more challenge tiers with extra rewards of plasteel and diamantine! These additions will slowly roll out over the next few hours.

#

wtffffffffff

supple dock
#

The higher finesse might be better

lethal swan
#

hmmm

supple dock
#

What I'm seeing is that you get one special headshot the next body shot could kill him with mutant damage

marble crater
lethal swan
#

yeah

supple dock
#

try it out!

#

One headshot, one body shot

lethal swan
#

also since its in the meat grinder no huge crit from riposte lol

supple dock
#

Because you're gonna dodge, hit the head with your swing, then charge again while behind him and body shot

upper sun
#

fatshark actually listend 3.5k plasteel was too little

supple dock
#

also you get extra backstab damage

#

..actually you know what? go mutant

#

YOu'll be able to 2shot them

lethal swan
#

yeee

supple dock
#

easily

upper sun
#

fatshark path of redemption fr fr no cap

lethal swan
#

makes sense

rich spindle
lethal swan
#

and better than the one i posted first with flak/specialist right

marble crater
#

Second sword with elite and maniac is basically my Illisi KEKW_ogryn

supple dock
rich spindle
#

.. did it have rending backstab

spice veldt
#

knife has innate backstab damage yeah

#

i know that the mk3 has it on the l3 and stab heavies but i don't know about mk6 sweeping heavies

#

push-attacks shouldn't have them

late sapphire
rich spindle
#

wtf

#

why not push attacks

#

fatshark

spice veldt
#

that be the tradeoff

#

that aspect is intentional

upper sun
rich spindle
#

hm...

#

now I need to test if heavy attack chains backstab crushers faster than push attack spam

upper sun
#

btw heymacker is trash right?

mental rock
#

It's aight on some ogryn weps

rich spindle
#

its fun and not useless

upper sun

or rather feel are useful

Ew to both

#

ew to u

mental rock
#

Lacerate staregryn

upper sun
#

lacerate is very based

mental rock
#

Yeah, based on garbage maybe

upper sun
#

but unironically i only use knives for speed running

#

idk what blessings are good

#

im testing stuff out flesh tearer seems alright

#

heymacker is ass

patent wing
#

knife without uncanny bru

mental rock
#

Uncanny + anything

upper sun
#

and lacerate and mercy killer im keeping to claim

mental rock
#

Just better ruthless backstab

patent wing
#

uncanny flesh tearer is the only answer

upper sun
#

first knife is for vet second is for psyker btw

patent wing
#

i mean ruthless backstab is at least rending

#

so i guess its ok

marble crater
#

Uncanny Mercy Killer on vet is very fun

strange harbor
#

I use both knives on zealot depends how I feel

upper sun
#

i only play evi/crusher/hammer on zealot

But then I found a stash of crack in a med bay

crack is not good for you

Once I figure out how to clip stuff I’m showing the server the power of a zealot on copious amounts of drugs

Then i'd have to take stam curious (boring)

I'm currently only using the 3 on my zealot

Uncanny Precog feels amazing

Especially with the duelist synergy bug

The heavies just feel wrong either way i dunno

If there's a horde too large i can always just hit push to talk and scream bloody murder

#

That’s what I do

patent wing
#

mk6 knife is goated because you can kill crushers while beeing cornered

strange harbor
late sapphire
#

I guess i could try out the knives on psyker

#

Only ever used them on zealot, since we get the objectively cooler dueling swords

strange harbor
late sapphire
#

With a ds4 (my beloved) and all of the damage bonuses from sg and dd you can one shot crushers

#

Or at least close enough to it to feel like one shotting crushers

#

that build is so fun on scab only melee

#

until you finally eat an overhead

late sapphire

Just don't

#

silly

rich spindle
#

so true

patent wing
#

just spam parry

late sapphire
#

dodge the overhead in place

rich spindle
#

just dodge all attacks

strange harbor

I mean scab gunners I just rush into melee range

#

And just stab

What did they add to the event?

#

Hello Psyker mains. I have questions regarding this class. Specifically build related, because I am new to Psyker.

#

I'm looking for specific playstyle related stuff but idk if it'd even be "good" for what I go for

#

Basically I like abilities I can use frequently preferrably (I know they aren't exactly full on spammable but I like abilities that I can get a lot of use out of in a majority of situations)

#

I also like big damage number stuff

#

what's that

#

huh.

#

I do like columnus guns

#

so.

#

might make that one of my builds.

rigid sky
#

I mean all psyker is power spam really

#

except for gun but even then you're doing a lot of assail spam

stiff falcon
#

What

slim hazel
#

I do also like prolonging my life as long as possible. Basically barriers. So I could probably run something with that.

#

is smite the lightning thing?

#

Wait you run lightning on gunker?

#

That's EXACTLY what I want.

#

I love lightning or the blue fire so.

#

I'm a huge star wars fan and I always liked fire in most RPGs and stuff.

#

so.

#

both of those abilities were on my radar

#

So yeah if you don't mind giving me your gunker build for me to experiment with.

#

I'd appreciate it.

#

because lightning is definitely the ability I wanna run aside from fire

#

Nothing else?

#

Well tbf multiple Bulwarks are annoying

#

so.

#

Speaking of which, how the hell do you deal with multiple in these tiny ass rooms this game's filled to the brim with?

#

Aside from praying your psyker has something

#

Hey, I’m pretty new to psyker (lvl 15) and I don’t know whether I should keep using the shards or switch to the purple lighting as it seems there was a rework on psyker and few months ago

#

Is one better or is it just preference

rocky yarrow
#

they have different uses

#

shards are kinda more ad clear maybe specialist

#

lightning is for more high level stuff where you have like mobs of crushers

#

since its for stunning mainly

rich spindle
#

Assail shards are easier to use. Just spam

jovial juniper
#

Then explode because you weren't paying attention to your peril

rich spindle
#

Yes

#

Smite is very fun and equally useful but if you use it wrong you're almost worse than a bot

#

Palpatine

marble crater
#

Assail is great for leveling, problem is that it can be too great and won't let you practice some things you need in harder difficulties, like melee

rocky yarrow
#

yes assail is very much a crutch which can cause problems

#

but is not bad inherently

rich spindle
#

Its fine youll still learn if you keep playing

upper sun
marble crater
#

Yes, but learning gradually would be better, imo, instead of learning to melee in damnation for example KEKW_ogryn

Also most staves are bad while leveling

trying to do the launch 7 enemies penance and holy shit
scream just knocks people down in place now, and now that im bringing a force sword and trauma staff i keep getting gluggers that are just magdumping every bridge

#

does scream get more knockback with higher peril

marble crater

honest robin
#

lmao is the back of the train thing a secret killplane??

#

thats the only explanation i can imagine

spice veldt
#

if enemies get staggered up there, they die soon after for some reason

#

even if it's a light stagger

honest robin
#

does this still work for cliffhanger? im going afk but i might try it im tired of vigil station

#

hard to knock people off bridges when they're getting heavy stubbered before they get on them

marble crater
#

Should work, that's how I got mine as well

honest robin
#

i'll give it a try, i need smite runs for that penance anyway

marble crater
#

Just need to get lucky with enemies spawning

honest robin
#

it seems like its probably fine if i play heresy? im doing it on psyker 2 so no damnation

marble crater
#

Heresy is fine

honest robin
#

i need to get that fire blessing for trauma

#

i was kinda enjoying using it but adding the extra DOT would make it really enjoyable i think

#

im normally a purgatus user or a gunker but im finally getting good blessings for the other staffs

#

soon i'll have a second melk shop for staves (and vet weapons too)

marble crater
#

Blaze Trauma is very fun, yes

honest robin
#

i got surge for voidstrike recently that's fun too

upper sun
#

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY

honest robin
#

add the "crit after 5 weak point hits" perk and play melee heavy like i do, thats a lot of double blasts

you dont end up using it a whole lot but it gives you good tree positioning

are the dueling swords worth it for T5? I used the blade force before and I really liked it but it seems people recommend the dueling sword because of its range im guessing

lavish dock

so they're better?

upper sun
upper sun
#

si they cant do everything

lavish dock
#

alr

spice veldt
#

the mk4 duelling sword is the one you're looking for in terms of optimality

#

since its heavies deal ~40% more damage than the other two for some reason

#

i prefer it to the deimos since both heavies will hit certain oneshots easily if you have some damage buff (e.g., disrupt destiny, warp rider, warp charges)

lavish dock

and I like the special stagger

I love crashing during extraction after you already did the mission

lapis violet
upper sun
#

change builds then staregryn

marble crater
#

I only change for staff diversity chadgryn

#

Or to not handicap the void user with trauma

upper sun
#

i simply play only surge or trauma(i suck ass at void)

#

what am i doing so many brackets today jeez

lavish dock
#

so is mk 4 duelling sword and voidstrike staff the meta for t4 and 5?

feral verge
marble crater
#

You can use any staff in t5 and a few different melee weapons

feral verge
#

but not needed

#

alot of weapons--when built and used correctly--are meta/effective/viable

marble crater
#

Really, if you are good enough you can use whatever you want, but there are 'meta' build for every staff, yes

id go flak/maniac+crit I have one with crit unyielding

I think mine has unyielding and carapace, nexus and surge

I already have a surge staff with crit chance and unyielding. this is just another great voidstrike for more general use

I keep trying knife and its just worse compared to ds4, the attacks are more reliable regardless of the damage increase and versatility from cleave the knife heavies allow you, but I think knife zealot is trash because of its horde clear speed so its probably just me

DS4 is just too good

#

And speedtech with both is similar enough

#

I never find myself using knife with psyker lol

#

I also almost never see knife psyker in pubs

kiting with DS is gonna be tighter

I've asked people why they queued for auric, and they claim they queued normal, so it might really be a thing.

Same thing for auric maels, even though that's not supposed to happen

potent echo
#

Maybe they forgor to change

#

But I never hit regular QP so I wouldn't know KEKW_ogryn

wheat tulip
#

Ive QP into a normal maelstrom which I didnt find out later until I asked why I had like 5 bosses in a match. They must have had the wrong screen open because you cant qp into auric unless the auric screen is open

potent echo
#

I have an auric default mod that always opens the auric page

wheat tulip
#

Ill do auric heresy for non meta builds but I have no interest in auric damnation. Sure I can do it but its no fun Id rather run hi intensity normal damnation. Lights out heresy is the best though

lethal lagoon
#

Is the average pub an idiot, or is there a bug with the QP

#

Both are just as viable

wheat tulip
#

auric heresy is actually easier than normal damnation, especially with an ammo vet

cinder moon
#

aren't breakpoints appreciably easier to hit in heresy?

wheat tulip
#

yep thats why its easier

#

12 crushers oh auric heresy are no where near as scary as 6 in damnation because its 1 less hit which means 1 less second they can kill you

#

I dont know if theyre stun thresholds are less I havent really tested that, auric heresy is only for builds that dont really work in damnation for me, knives braced guns bolters without chastise purge staff

#

their dps isnt good for me on damnation so on heresy the less HP and more spawns from auric makes them feel nice

grim inlet
#

why do people pick up others when there are like 10 gunners shooting at the downed person lol. I was dealing with a chaos spawn and someone went down, a zealot goes invis to get them up and they immediately die from the gunners after getting picked up lol

why do people complain when you cant pick them up in time when tere are 10 gunners zeroing in on their corpse

Any end event that has endless hordes while you get to the chopper

Gather the horde and press shriek

potent echo

Or just find any ledge, when you hear a horde, run away from your team backwards maybe 1-2 rooms so they can't kill the horde

Theres that one map where you go up the elevator and theres the med machine, then after you ump off and theres a cliff with 50 mobs charging you, just use that

Nexus only helps you reach max stacks faster

I'll probably do T4 nexus just for those 15 points tbh lol

Since they are marginal gains either way

It works on primary attack regardless. Not the secondary AFAIK

Don't think it's bugged, I think it's just shit by design

Trauma build paths are nexus/blazing spirit or flurry/rending shockwave only
