we lost the game we played earlier 😦
lol true
we've played a fair few pubs together but today was the first we've lost
Also I think if you mute it, it causes problems. So I'll leave on loop at 1% for a little bit.

It's okay, I believe you, you are good enough and it's wrong for him to judge you for your lack of abilities.

dont be mean
Might as well call it the Destined Death Psyker build or something.
I'm watching it in the background, that gives me mean privleges, it's the rules.

next video will be called ifknhateatlasTM
it could be worse... could be boss hunter psyker


i named it that bc of the genuienly pretty good chaos spawn solo near the start okkk

it should really be called
I'mAmazingAndYouAllSuckPsyker
or
AustraliansApparentlyAllHaveShitMicsPsyker
The last one
I'm surprised you had the courage to upload a video with spidey sense

Spidey sense makes me self-conscious

HEHE
idk why i even run it, half the time it just makes me lose a second or two of focus because of verticality
i mean, i do know why i run it, because of silent poxbursters, but thats no longer a major issue
Yeah, alot of the time it distracts me and I end up wasting time
it's gone from silent bursters to silent snipers and backstabs for me
welp its gone now
snipers and doggos are the bane of my life atm
TRUE
i swear dogs are magnetic rn
the dogs shitty hitboxes are so wack
im just sick of a dog sitting next to me and BOOOOOOM its leapt onto me with absolutely no warning
Its pox bursters and stealth maulers for me
They are both still genuine issues
atleast the poxbursters are better than they used to be
and I can survive an overhead from a mauler
yep, every mission
Me when I literally dodge dogs by just crouching

I wonder if aussie servers are just shit
sliding works crazy well for muties
its entirely possible that our smaller playerbase means we're often connecting to mainland asia, etc, and dealing with higher ping
Tbh if a silent poxburster wants to fuck me up, it happens
i can live with that, tbh. atleast compared to how bad it used to be
the dogs tho...
There is ping compensation for disablers. The greater your ping is, the more forgiving the time window to dodge is.
So it's the opposite, either my ping or the server is shit.
Well I dunno if crouching counts as time window
the servers are too good 
i have acquired pizza rolls
Ive had dogs pounce on me after I push them away and get the animation of them going back but then they teleport on top of me, probably the same issue with both server side didnt register what we did and it corrected it
this plus empathic evasion turns you into a zealot
my aussie friend will clearly dodge a crusher overhead and die instantly
sadly we can’t play anything higher than heresy together or he just gets fked
why did you make your illisi look like a mix between ds and deimos...
cursed illisi of critical striking
pushes get heavy lag compensation dodges not so much
Should also try to shove n dodge when dealing with hounds as it provides an extra layer of stagger should your dodge n slide fail
ive got an evi with crit+unarmored and perfect strike shred it wreks
excuse us for playing the game the way the devs intended
it's fun to stun everything, even if it doesn't take damage
just rolling out with the slop hadron gives us
@supple dock please stop filling out brunt's requisition forms
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
my axe one shots every other regular enemy but this guy
which axe and which perks do you have on it?
😭
im still pretty happy with it but sometimes it just gets hung up on a swing
cant have shit on atoma
spent like 6k more plasteel bricking deimos' today
yeah my deimos is kinda in a fucked state
i need to choose one thing to replace but 2 things arent good
i have one good unstable/uncanny/maniacs/unyielding for my bubble build
im probably going to replace riposte though
i wanna get a good deflector one tho
i wanna get a deimos of semi ultimate defence tho
thats what i went for here lmao
Smite fucks, that is all.
block eff plus deflector
damn
peak sword right there
i dont love the dodge blessings but thats peak defense
Nothing wrong with precognition imo
woah, a pre bricked sword
imagine the blocccc you can do with deflector +5 stamina and block efficiency and KD
eh i just feel like theyre inconsistant
the dodge an attack timing is weird
rot grease
first auric damnation ever
i got triple ogryn
i always knew i wanted to be surrounded by three big men, just never thought like this
Wack, but valid
My last of all the class's penances. This one seems to take a while
yeah it's not a fun one
It tracks progress on this specifically when someone uses their ability, and gives you however many seconds you'd take off of their cooldown, regardless if they cut down that time with other cdr
This means crit cdr zealots are your best friends
holy shit auric damnation is easier than regular damnation
and I'm not being carried either
unless team comp really just does make that much of a difference
i find auric to be easier cause of the level req and people generally knowing what they're doing
I've sat on aurics for an actual year because I thought I wasn't good enough for them, lmao
auric heresy is my happy place, it's kinda easy but can still be tough sometimes and is the perfect mix of being able to chill out and having to try/think
You love to see it
Can someone help me with the Malleus monstronum penance?
I can in like an hour
BB EP with flat shields combo makes that much easier
psykers going over 100% peril:
goes into another damnation mission
everyone else dies within 30 seconds of engaging a group of enemies
oh, it's not auric
i know this has probably been said dozens of times before but it's baby's first aurics
Don't worry, there are also worse players in auric 
We literally were pushed out of the second room right after we entered it the game lasted 4 minutes totalit was just non stop elite/special spawns between giant chaff hordes sometimes the game just decides you get everything upfront
Oh yea I died when a mutant threw me back into the second room to get stun locked by all the ranged elites, a reaper was literally on top of me shooting his machine gun point blank into me trying to get up
what melee works best for purg staff?
ds4 is like the ps6 for vets it works for everything really well, dclaw is a defensive option if you have like brain burst for elites or something but ds is great, ds5 has better chaff clear
Something with uncanny and single target focus
So DS4 or Deimos imo
I use Deimos personally
Not sure why tbh
DS4 100%
I love sliding around between heavy attacks with the ds4 its very fun
the heavy is so forgiving you can just swipe it over a head and it triggers no need to aim
I personally use illisis with uncanny + deflector, its just a generally good jack of all trades
its horde clear though and you have purge, its probably best for the surge/void strike staves while deimos is for the aoe purge and trauma
Purgatus and Illisi do the same job
But I want to have a better anti elite, anti mutant, anti crusher melee option
So Deimos fits the bill much better for me
I like Illisi with Void or Surge staff more
I just feel the illisi has more versitility, dont get me wrong deimos is good its just illisi can deal with more
+uncanny helps with crushers but that is just me
If Purgatus had limited ammo I'd be more sympathetic to your argument
sure it can deal with more just like a revolver can deal with more but if you have single target melee ranged should be for crowds and vice versa
But it just doesn't make sense to me to take them both together like that
like I use the heavy sword on zealot, it deals with everything but carapace so I need a carapace ranged weapon which is the bolter, it doesnt make sense to take the ciag even if it has more versitility the heavy sword has that in spades
also in my defense, i barely use my melee when using purg + i just mainly use bb to kill crushers
if you take charge everything can deal with carapace
Try a single target focus sword
sure for a short period bolter isnt that great without charge but with it it can kill 3 crushers, what other weapon can do that
Marvel as Mutants suddenly are unable to dive you
revolver 👍
i alr said i like deimos, i just prefer illisi more because i dont like the light combo of the deimos
You don't ever use light spam really
i usually run claw + zarona on zealot and carapace only ever becomes an issue in groups of 5+ crushers even then only if we're fucked enough that maneuvering isn't an option
It's just L1 H2
(ik its a heavy focus sword)
I actually havent rolled a pure damage revolver for zealot I usually get the hand cannon point blank for it but thats not gerat for fury
You can h1 l2 for trash but tbh if you have Deimos, your ranged should be dealing with trash
Ill roll one up and see what it can do
Point blank is broken and shit btw
probably the chained weakpont surgical or something
Eh mine is handcannon surgical
You have to get the timing right but 3 crushers is doable
handcannon doesnt matter after procing fury and point blank is a free .6 secodns of waiting after swapping since I melee 99% of the time
I get 3 seconds of the fury buff so point blank still makes sense
With dclaw a fury parry also does the trick fairly well
Point blank only applies from killing with the gun bash iir
Iirc
Which does like 3 damage
I use it for 90 some percent crit on vet it works on swap
Placebo
nah you can see it proc on the bottom
unless they broke it within the last 6 months
which is possible
when i realized vet is just a slower zealot I dropped it
Do you still need help?
i also went from playing vet normally to melee vet to just playing zealot instead...
I would give fatshark roughly two trillion dollars to give zealot access to the ds4 though
I cant reliably hit long ranged targets even when Im pin point on them with the majority of guns so that lead to melee vey with elite killing ranged to 90% melee vet when I got good at the powersword to heavysword zealot with a revolver
which then turned into half knife chorus reset and half heavy sword bolter
Gun accuracy is just a matter of controlling your fire
In my experience the first shot even with a braced autogun is 100% accuracy so you can tap-tap-tap away at whatever distance you want
or i just play psyker like a normal person and experience the joy of recoilless staff fire and also the emperors own splendor that is the ds4
Base game sights are kind of dogshit though, the weapon customisation mod is definitely needed if you want to enjoy gunplay
yea and that crashed my game every time an ogryn would use a cleaver
That's a shame...
Yup!!
not much I could do but report it then I havent tried it since I gave up fixing it
Imagine how OP this would get lmao
best gun for scrier?
ciag is good
any purge masters online? how do you do the lmb spam so quick?
im trying to go quell rmb but i keep fucking up the rhythm
CIAG best, accatran lasgun also good
Better performance duelling shooters but worse dps
With the recon lasgun only able to get buffs at this point so its only up from here.
Wouldn't count on it being well suited even then
We want finesse weapons
We also want not garbage laser weapons outclassed by bullets
Recon finesse stats are garbage
Maybe if they make Kinetic flayer good somehow it might be used in a very different gunker build than what is used now
But until then the strength of gunker is its Finesse modifiers through SG and DD
Hence, a buff would be good. Not tipping it into disgusting good, but enough that any of the classes can comfortably use it.
Also kinetic flayer is good, just a matter of timing
I'd rather put the point literally anywhere else, unless they make it prioritise killfeed enemies
idk about KF played two whole games on it
legit never could get it to trigger when i wanted
or it was randomly on cooldown
But now it's just for random spike damage with a longass cooldown
all they have to do is make it give BB an extra 100 damage
or idk make it ONLY select elites and specialists
thats a good upgrade right?
ye that too ofc
ATM I think the boss damage is the only real point of it
I would even give it a longer cd if they did that
KF upgrade would make it only select elites specialists and bosses
Once every 15-20s (but on a higher % chance)
like what can they even do? aside from what it currently is
more damage? ep does that less peril? EP faster charge? first upgrade does tht
im really not feeling random procs on random enemies
Honestly just make it only hit killfeed stuff
I would take it then
Since soulblaze ticks trigger it
Maybe KF could change when BB does the stagger, but that is completely changing the talent.
yeah extra stagger/stun on hit as is feels like a wasted point
ye
Wouldnt scriers and blaze trauma work well? You can make it last a minute easy and all that extra damage and crit would work very well, stacks benifit from extra damage right?
that and -66% peril generation
People use scriers and staves. If you peril managements is great, you might be able to make it work. Trauma just generates so much peril.
I forget who, but someone likes scriers with surge staff.
Because void and especially purg generate far less peril, I've found success using those with scriers, but I also miss useing creeping flames.
does riposte carry over when you swap weapons then? getting a quick dodge for 6 seconds of crits seems better than trading 5 points to get scriers
It used to. I think someone mentioned that it was patched out, but I haven't tested in several patches.
@wind spruce Finished you vid. Enjoyable watch.
🤔 what staff should i play
surge
too late 😭 i queued up as purge

nvm i had time to switch
Next round play the columnus staff 
i dont have a good one for psyker
bad weapon rolls only
what blessings should i run for trauma? im thinking just flurry + nexus
Nexus + blazing spirit is the strongest
the other one is flurry + rending shockwave
blazing spirit or rending shockwave are good base blessings then crit per peril for blazing and the chain for cooldown for rending
Those two are for trauma mains. If you want to just use trauma as utility to set up your melee and you have true aim, rending shockwave + blazing spirit is another option.
That is more or less for melee and assail mains with trauma taking a back seat.
any recommend blessing for voidstrike?
Run n gun aaaaand run n gun
currently i have transfer peril as 4 , with a flexible slot

Surge nexus for the nuke staff
Nexus flurry for a spammy one
Surge flurry also an option
Lesser option is transfer flurry
Very spammy
Not as good at nuking
Highest DPS is surge blessing + nexus then flurry + surge. True aim on the talent tree is assumed.
Transfer peril + flurry is OG meta before the talent tree rework.

going from zealot to psyker is hell 😭 i did the thing
And take disrupt destiny with lingering influence
Results with voidstrike are nuts
Oneshotting Crushers is common
This this is what ive been waiting for
nailed it
you may not like it but that is what peak deimos looks like
i've only ever heard of this being possible
hard but doable
Hello, I have a question about Trauma staff, I know the optimal setup for it is blazing spirit/ warp nexus and then 5% crit chance and 25%flak/carapace
But I have a trauma staff with all that except 25% flak/carapace
Instead it’s 10% elite
Is that okay lol I’m so sick and tired of the crafting system I just wanna move on and play auric maelstrom/auric damnnation
And is this a decent alternative lol
I mean 10% elite is doable
you don't need perfect godrolls to play auric
It's a trauma you are already trivialising the game 
trauma honestly needs a bit of a rework, thing literally punches holes in crowds lol
and can easily be spammed
Holes? More like giant gaping wounds
If Blaze Trauma is s-tier, rending is a.
i really shouldn't stick it in there but...

Cool, I have a pretty good rending staff…except for the fact that the damage stat for that one is like 68%
🤦
You can get away with a blaze with 68% but not really a rending.
Yeahhhh I guess, I’m still figuring out psyker so I guess I wanna rely on pretty good godrolls first 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve got like 220 hrs on Darktide, played ogryn for 219 hours before swapping to psyker to level it and now I’m tryna get good rolls
Yeahhhh
I use a 65% rending and it trashes chaff and knocks elites down for me and the others to melee them with 15% less armor, damage only really matters if you use it 100% of the time once I hit someone with it they cant be stunned for like 8 seconds so i might as well go melee. Plus no one likes it when everything is being knocked down all the time it makes it annoying so I BB ranged elites when I get a chance
If I remember correctly, you don't play auric? Nothing wrong with that but everything works on lower difficulties.
Thank you! And just to clarify, when people say “quell cancel” what exactly do they mean? Is it just tap rmb—>tap R to quell?
But lower levels are boring 🥺
And like
I was talking to the guy with the 65% rending.
"quell cancelling" is when you press LMB > tap r > LMB to get shorter recovery animations
for the bolts
Levelling psyker was such a chore omfg let me tell you, playing at Heresy? Absolute torture
You can do that with fire too, makes things stagger fast
You can blitz/weapon swap cancel surge staff though
Nah I love leveling, it's the smurf experience
using blitz is immediate while weapon swapping is less consistent

Cool! So is quell cancelling necessary for trauma? Considering trauma’s main source of dmg is its alt fire mode? Rather than its LMB attack?
Ye I should really learn to do that for my fire staff xd
not really imo
None of the animation cancels are needed, it's just about sweating for damage lmao.
I do play auric I dont play auric damnation anymore, its not that I fail at it its that its annoying and I dont like it. Its pretty hard to fail unless the game decides to throw 40+ elites at the same time at you and that really depends on the team
Don't need to justify it man
It was to just be clear on information
if my opinion is invalid because I dont want to play something then yea I do
If someone is asking for advice on auric damn, and you give advice that's not based on auric damn, that's not very helpful.
The suggestion you made was specifically something that doesn't work on higher difficulties
the difference between 65 and 80 is 6 points of damage
you can literally look at it its 129 to 135
Speaking about auric damn, gunker seems fun af 🤣
And enemies can survive with 10 health, especially when you don't have blazing to cross breakpoints
I wish psyker had a gun with a larger magazine, for gun psyker 🙏 pls fatshark, psyker LMG when
Or better, psyker bolter
compared to every other stat on the staff it effects things the least maybe warp resistance if youre playing max peril mitigation on talants but thats a scriers build so it wouldnt even fit
is there an up to date psyker build / guide list? im not up to date on the numbers etc so i wanna see how i can optimise some builds
i was wondering something similar. ive been bouncing between vet and zealot and was wanting to give psyker a try. any advice for a newbie?
psyker is basically the jack of all trades but squishy imo
you can do anything well depending on what build you pull, but you need to be careful about positioning for sure
brain burst is good for anti carapace / sniper / boss, smite is really handy anti horde- disablers, and assail(The flying crystals) is decent horde and light elite damage
psyker hasn't changed all that much
all staves are good, just try to build for dealing with a variety of enemy types in some form or another
gun psyker is nasty also
whats a good build to start out with? i currently am running a trauma staff and the first force sword i could get my hands on. i tend to prefer my zealot over vet so i keep finding myself going into melee.
purgatus + brain burst + shield + empowered psionics is pretty good
easy to be effective on
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bc72c2d-177f-4b99-b37a-f7e51b320613/flamer-at-home something like this
oh cool. thanks. ill build towards that.
i personally prefer dueling sword mk4 but deflector is never really bad especially with kinetic deflection
I might build my deimos back into deflector and try to sneak deflection in
Siblings, what’s a good knife psyker build. I got knife pilled while doing the penances for Zealot and Vet, and I have a god-rolled MK6 (25% maniac, 25% flak, Uncanny4 Ruthless4), and I’m curious as to what works best with it.
psyker doesnt really have a knife build tbh
i guess if you kill fast enough with it maybe going down the DD part of the tree?
otherwise idk, this is new territory here lol
Fair enough, I was considering pairing it with my speed scrier psyker but the illisi with the quell on weakspot blessing makes my scrier’s gaze last forever in hordes
just not really sure where a knife would fit in, admittedly never heard of any psyker running a knife
Any suggestions on using an extra talent point for my DS4/Void/Shriek/Brain Rupture build? Debating between:
- Perilious Combustion
- Warp Expendture
- Empathic Evasion
- Creeping Flames
Build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bc2c342-b4f5-4484-8d6b-1eeb2d34e77b/psyker-voidstrike
Void is low peril, so there's no need for solidarity.
So I'd grab those two points and get creeping flames and PC
I'll give that a try, thank you
Always grab creeping flames with shriek
Oh damn what
Cast at 85% peril, it will also kill all mobs, bruisers, ranged mobs, and snipers as well.
The vertical spread is the same
As the horizontal
Looking left and right will change the direction, but looking up and down does not.
Crouching and jumping will affect it though
its surprisingly long range for the fire variant at least
It's a geniunely ridicilous ability.
You just yell a freshly spawned horde and they die.
i think something about soulblaze in general effects the range, because it does the same ridiculous range for blaze trauma
I've seen builds of people that toe the line on peril and they just make hordes evaporate.
Wonder if they could change the 100-200 damage to something cooler like temp hp.
the problem isnt even the damage its the immense falloff
its not even half that of the fire variant and the damage quickly drops off to the point it does nothing to most of the enemies in a horde
You can use a variety of things to up the damage to like 380
But the fall off still makes it useless
I actually wonder if they meant for the creeping flames to also fall off
And it just wasn't easy to code so they were like whatever
like i said i think it might be attached to how soulblaze works in general
seems like just about anything soulblaze related has weirdly high range
and just acts weird
Oh that's what you meant. No the range of the soulblaze matchs the range of the stagger.
just i dont think they directly meant both blaze trauma and flame shout to do that
but they also havent done anything about them for how long they both existed so maybe?
Blaze trauma is a bit of a perfect storm. It's also fairly dookie without a complete meta weapon and peril edging. So it terms of data colleciton, it might not appear that strong.
Creeping flames has a similar PR problem. If you use it below 85% peril, don't understand the range, etc, it's not going to seem very good compared to a giant glowing shield that "heals" you.
So another data collection problem
just seems like both are odd with how much they can do
like yes does require peril edging
I mean based on the completely unneeded EP smite buff, it's definitely a data collection type balancing style.
I remember a game specifically where someone asked me what staff I was using and how I was doing so much damage, and like I was EP smiting 90% of the game.
People just don't get how the ability functions.
They dont' know that when paired with shriek the DPS is just dumb.
i have to believe it
like, so many people going EP shield instead of the obvious warp charges shield with smite
i think smite shield AND warp charges is alright
Smite has so much synergy with shriek, running it with anything else is just dumb.
Strongly disagree, when I see smite shield, I know they are going to do like 200k damage.
the warp charges at least sync up to what shield wants
And I'm never really wrong, unless they do less than 200k.
at least in my experience EP shield smite=bad, Charges Shield Smite= mediocre to even good based on how often they use their staff
but this was before the latest patch
It's only acceptable if they just picked smite shield and use voidstrike 99% of the time.
now, it's just a redflag if they are running any smite but EP smite vent shit is too strong
this
You can get the smite penance in like 2 games max, I got mine in 1.5
DD works well as does scriers, id take assail with it to help with horde clear. as for the knife uncanny/riposte is nice to help bump up the crit rate a bit since knife crits are so insane, and i do unyielding flak as my perks but most +25% perks work
EP shield is for when you want to quickly charge up shield specifically to spam it, which is why most people pair it with BB
as for gun i run w/e but laspistol has nice synergy with the higher crit chance
make sure to take advantage of the push attack spam because of psykers stam regen

as knife PA is very good on either

yeah psyker has insane stamina so do plenty of dodge and push
just be careful to not get yourself guardbroken and die
Also make sure to punch people in elevators
Let them know you are playful but mean bussiness


i tend to dickpunch my friends with it
devastating blows
nah youre a psyker, just sit there then spontaneously have a brain aneurysm
So now I'm thinking - would Creeping Flames/Smite pair better than Brain Rupture? BB is nice for easy DD stacks and Bulwarks but Smite and vent seems strong even without EP
Voidstrike DD means you should be using voidstrike basically 100% of the time.
I mean you can do whatever, it'll work just fine, because voidstrike is the star of the show
my only problem is i dont like using voidstrike that often because im honestly ass at keeping on top of peril gen
Okay, that's generally how I use it, DS4 and BB are just as needed
Cool thank you again for the advice and the shriek pic, very helpful

top tier art demonsration as always

LETS GOOOOOO
finally got it, kinda wish I got more than something people only see for 20 seconds at the end of the game, maybe a title, cool skin or border or something but WHOOOO LETS GOOOO
Hey guys, thinking of gunning for the “block a shit ton of damage using the shield” penance for psyker, what woukd an appropriate build be?
What’s a staff? -gunpsykers
I like EP brain rupture and trauma for shields
Voidstrike with bubble, or a BB build with 2 shields.
wait it stacks?
Rip 16 shield meta
Its still possible to have 3 active at the same time, but requires a lot of elites
Also you can easily get 2 shields with void alone
No point in stacking them however, just place them forward as you push into the horde
barely sped up tbh
try the regular lmb spam
and yeah im not doing it correctly
i mean the kinetic resonance
Yeah that's what I meant.
sick
still dont think its worth the effort
every little bit helps 
for regular quell cancels you can snipe elites
but getting a stagger 0.25s faster on a crusher that's about to overhead you is something you dont want
im pretty sure it cant stagger crushers no matter what
well, you want the stagger, but if you're in that situation and need that 0.25, youve gone fucked ul
you get what i mean
not really if i can do something faster i wanna know how
difference is kinda big @lapis violet
i also learned that holding charge at max peril then venting keeps the charge
@lethal lagoon what was the lmb build again? terr barrage and?
For trauma, Transfer Peril and Surge is what I used.
Mostly cause I thought it made the trauma look really funny.
Yeah, it's geniunely hilarious
Everything just cowers and plasma shots will just go into the nether.
If you want to nerf plasma gun this is how you do it

You can also one shot gunners with a headshot with sg or sg stacks
Which is just wild
Pew pew
transfer peril does some heavy lifting
Especially with hordes.
Also, I didn't animation cancel or anything for that specific game.
but sustained fire sounds great as well
i mean since its not full auto it will always trigger right
afaik in a autogun you have to stop after 4 shots and go again
Right but a kickback which is single shot can trigger blaze away
Is what I mean.
So I'd imagine you'd still have to stop after 4 for a brief moment
maybe
I guess it's worth a test.
will see; for now i made dis
full lmb setup

The low charge rate and blast radius.
Literally perfect
this is literally not what we were talking about but ok
good for smiting
we were talking about purgatus staff and getting a faster stagger
which i dont think would help all that much
because im fully aware of the damage boost that quell canceling can provide for the other staves
Quell canceling purg lmb absolutely get's a faster stagger and can stagger in situations it otherwise wouldn't?
yes, im not disputing that

but can it really get as fast as the other cancels where it actually makes a reliable difference?
LMB cancel is a meme on other staves?
then look here
because from what ive seen so far youre able to get another attack off only like 0.25 s sooner
and that's a time frame i want to hope to improve
@lapis violet look at the linked post
.25s is kind of a useless measurement, you want percent. Or at least number over attacks over 10 seconds or some shit.
By that logic charge rate is the dump stat on staves
finally found it. this changes my opinion on it
it's a skill issue on my end that i dont think it's worth it to put effort towards learnkng
TBF that video is a macro, it would take a decent amount of practice to do that manunally reliably.
im even more justified in my laziness
The only scenario where you NEEDED to cancel was the old force sword.
Everything else is just I need more APM.
still wont get to that lvl of speed and consistency
i can press mmb 30 minutes, how long can one perfectly lmb + quell cancel
If you mean a dedicated LMB playstyle, yeah.
If you mean just for sudden use, nah, you can replicate that, the game isn't that tight on key presses.
You know, now I wanna re-run some LMB only builds with macros.
u want me to stream few minutes :D
I'm fairly busy atm

my easily distracted brain likes popping into discord for a min and then going back.
back to the grind stone
can someone hook me up with a link to a good trauma build
idt i can search the builds thread specifically
if not ill follow a youtuber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8vXJ_N2xkE
Just recovered from a cold recently so content and the progress on this video slowed, but it's finally out. Go set the world on fire!

Wait for the Gurus! Anyone but a YouTuber!
lmao
idk he's arguing i should use brain burst and run extreme soulblaze
sounds lit

"Top dmg every game"
I mean if you dont have top dmg as psyker youre doing something wrong
Unless you got outdamaged by another psyker
or you can't do what you do best, because of enemies spawning behind you
Mfw im always clearing the back and still get top dmg
i didnt get top damage? oh no! anyways
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9c32cce1-622a-449d-bc79-5ee151278bff I think I run this
it's been a while since I checked what my talents are
I left a deimos blessing open because it's debatable
is it just me or is gauntlet a worse rumbler?
Force greatsword
Gauntlet is more accurate and quicker in killing spread out targets, you can one shot gunners with it
force blaze shovel
cant with rumbler?
Maybe with a direct hit or close enough explosion
I like gauntlet more as an anti ranged option, rumbler is better against bosses, ogryns and mixed hordes, but you can also just use your melee for the latter, depending on build
Rumbler also better at clusters of shooters
Hey guys, for flame trauma build, +10% groaner/poxwalker dmg is kinda useless right
It's useless for everything
You want Flak and probably crit chance for Blaze trauma
I think maniac is also usually seen as acceptable
yes
The only weapon with flak/crit I have across 4 classes is my blaze trauma 
Aight I guess my 380 trauma staff is getting axed by hadron lmao
Fucking dogshit rolls
iktfb
Anyways, what’s a good warp flurry/rending shockwave build xd
stubber!!!!
The update will fix it 
No 
yes
Do you want to use shield or shriek?
And I don't know what to do with the last 3 points 
Not sure if you would crit enough for the Mettle and Perfect Timing
warp exp
also double wall might be better if you just want the penance
Maybe, I will leave that to playstyle I guess
Ive seen flame trauma builds which go like assail/dome shield
But I guess flame trauma skill tree and rending trauma skill trees are rly different right?😅
You can play both with assail or brain burst, just for blaze trauma I suggest shriek with flames and warp charges for even more flames, but you can play that with shield too
One message removed from a suspended account.
Yes
This is the way.
unfortunately we cant go blazing spirit + rending shockwave
force greatsword when?
When can I summon a 'friendly' daemonhost?
Oh yeah, space wizard completed
go to 100%
only agent can summon DHs
all sanctioned psykers go through chaos/demonic reistance training
which just involves shoving a bit of the emperors soul in you
unironically
Resistance training to brain rotting tiktoks and YouTube shorts
huh so thats what the black ships did
BUZZING.. buzzing...
Bros buzzing
best weapons for gun psyker?
Preferably not dueling swords
I just really don't like them
Will deimos work?
DS4 is the best by far
Columnus/ds iv are best. Las pistol is also pretty good and the deimos will work
Illisi is also good
Probably Deimos too yeah
You want something that can fight hordes if you have DD up and maybe SG
You just sacrifice mobility and trying to aim cause the deimos staggers
DS4 becomes pretty good into hordes with DD SG
illisi with DD stacks + uncanny stacks will 2 shot crushers with special
Please just give us red weapons like in vermintide
I'll give daddy tzeentch a call
Out of curiosity, what setup would you run with a knife?
I’m thinking pairing it with the surge staff for full right hand side crit build
Oh I don't use knife on psyker, so no idea. I would use it just as a shorter dueling sword I guess and then mostly for mobility and mutants. @supple dock can help more with the specifics
I pair knife 6 with my surge/smite build. I zoom zoom blasting gunners and quickly reposition for hordes if I need to
Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind. I mostly run DS Mk4 with a voidstrike headshot build to deal with crushers and mutants easily
I’ll have to play around with it when I loop back to psyker… need to complete the last set of ogryn penances and I’ll be done with the class ones
imagine saying no to the brainwashing light of the emperor
could NOT be me

i only take mk6 knife for repositioning and boss dmg. but mainly boss dmg. and the ability to fight them with ease
none of the staves are that great vs. bosses, it seemed like. wondering if I'm doing something wrong with purga staff...
BB+ celery stim is still king vs bosses
Purg needs unyielding to do it. Either as a perk on there. OR getting stacks on the boss, swapping to your melee with has unyielding. Then the flame stacks should also do the unyielding dmg.
IIRC, the damage perks only affect the impact damage and not stacks. I'll try to make a staff with unyielding on it, and see how it goes.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember if the swap works or not. I haven’t used purg in a while
Purga build is one of my favorites but it often lacks the punch of voidstrike or CC of trauma, at times. [looks at crusher]
Surge used to be good but the high warp gains vs. damage output feels wonk, at times. [1 tap most maniacs but it takes several casts for a single crusher]
in a purge build you would normally put unyielding on melee since if affects the burn too
so you would apply 1-2 streams, switch to melee and gain the unyielding buff
yup, you always get top boss dps this way
I have been speedrunning malice for four days to get that barrel penance done and I’m going insane
take a deep breathe, rip out your warp sword, charge it with energy, and run into the boss with a power attack
going YAA HA HAAA like Mandark
im going out with +36% stam regen now
Is the smite produced by your Blitz, the same as the smite produced by a staff?
It used to be.
Which cause the surge staff to benefit from the empowered psionic talent damage buff
125% bonus dmg on surge staff.
you were 1-2 shotting EVERYTHING except bosses. Still chunking them, tho.
the reason was that the coding for the lighting on surge staff, was the same used for Smite.
Why? Is a completionist thing for you or something? Because the barrel penances aren’t needed to get to 4500
Wait, so what does higher damage now, the staff or the blitz?
I recall seeing a short where a guy had a coffee mug holding down his left mouse button, so that his ogryn sitting in the corner could heavy attack incoming poxwalkers automatically.]
Well they were never the same, but they did both benefit from EP. In regards to their uses, surge is more single target focused, longer range. Smite for larger mixed groups
The blitz is better for crowd control. The empowered talent makes the damage a lot better, letting you kill softer targets like most maniacs/ragers/etc
Ohhhh explains why the other psyker kept getting smashed by hords, but absolute destroyed specials
A max range on surge can really give it some good distance reach. Also, it disregards cover, as long as you can get proximate aim on the target.
Interesting
i've ran all 4 staves for the longest time, and used surge back when it was what smite currently was, only for fewer targets
Huh I guess I'm sticking with the smite blitz then
i recommend smite with voidstrike or surge.
Support psyker is pretty fun honestly
for purga, you're already getting cc on primary fire vs. most things not crusher, and sometimes mauler.
You can stunlock ragers with primary on purga, btw.
Trauma has plenty of CC and is great vs. the bigger specials, like maulers, crushers, bulwarks. Also chunks hordes but the main focus is knockdown with the formentioned enemies.
Purga is pretty much cc on non-crusher/boss enemies while providing horde clear
Yeah, been looking for a good weapon to kill specials with
I match purga with brain burst, so it can cover it's weakness of short range, to deal with snipers/gunners/etc
Since the smite already covers crowd control
Yeah same here, that's my usual build
Surge is great vs. single target but the cc only comes online on the second cast [mutie/crusher/etc] while a good stated staff can one shot maniacs. It used to be on the first cast. I think some enemies are first cast but those that are are usually dead on that cast.
surge also has a secondary target stun but it does minimal damage, so don't expect it to be a chain damage.
I should probably stat a surge with unyielding and carapace....
Might go Trauma staff then when I play again tomorrow
thankfully the staves only have a few blessings, so getting the right ones you need isn't as painful.
Since trauma is good CC, smite isn't as much of a focus. I went BB or if you're incline, assail. But assail kinda got nerfed in the ground and is probably better for similar role BB serves, long range picks.
or on lower/non auric difficulties.
Like, psyker is my most played class, followed by veteran
I'm still unsure what Assail should be used for honestly
It's almost like a worst version of brainburst
cuz they occupy different roles, and assail is still good
But I guess it also has soooome crowd control too
Which is actually more lethal than smite
i run it with my trauma/ds4 build to kill groups of enemies that aren't clumped up enough to justify trauma and are too numerous to use ds4
it has probablistic breakpoints due to the rng nature of it hitting weakspots and crits, but you also have 10 max shards to be working with at a time
Assail is spammy
I kinda don't like it with trauma, I feel like if you want spammy kills you just use the trauma blast itself
I like it for rushing sections where there are a quantity of enemies in between the usage of trauma/ds4 and to snipe groups of elites/specials
since the one notable advantage is that it hits 2 targets (3 with ethereal), and this is a game where enemies tend to group together
brain rupture feels better with it imo
I normally take assail with voidstrike (homing attacks for moving targets and for going wide faster) and guns (ammo saving), in both cases it benefits from DD
i dislike using trauma for trash mobs because of the stagger and just use assail for it
i use trauma as a side weapon and only for clumps of enemies that i can properly justify the stagger for
the stagger's not a bad thing though
I'm just gonna blow them up again anyway
and hopefully they will also catch fire
and die
i dislike knocking enemies down or spamming trauma
I kinda had the same thought with the gun honestly, got myself a braced autogun
Downed enemies deal no damage
yes
and i'm not talking about optimality
i'm talking about my own personal preference
you dumb shit
k
in that case I like running through missions shooting my shredder autopistol into the air
i'm also of the opinion that ammo is already plentiful
i'm not of the group that complains about ammo issues
I was just saying I don't have a problem with using trauma on enemies to knock them down
Is this a good idea for assail?
I mostly use assail for most of the mission
Then, when I activate Scrier's Gaze I pull out the autogun and just mow down as many enemies as possible
Yeah, you can also keep assailing for a few seconds and weave in quelling if you like
Or swap to your melee if it's stuff that's better to melee
Assail is great for ammo saving
Yeah, magdumping into a bunch of dogs or a whole horde of ragers is insanely fun
u know whats cool? that you have to close the game after several quits because its stuck in loading screen
small indie company
The game crashing a lot is bad, but what really boils my blood is the 17 popups I have to swat before I can relaunch the game. Every. Time.
in case you are using a nvidia card; what helped me a lot was activating debug mode (this stops the card from OCing)
Good to know, I'll have to try that
trust me ive spent a lot of time even with their useless support
If you haven't used Psych Ward mod I'd highly recommend it. You can skip most loading screens and it saves you literally hours of your life
After a match is over, I pop back out to the menu about 1 seconds later instead of loading the Mourningstar for 5 minutes
u mean right into next game?
If I need to buy 1 item from the requisition on 3 characters, I can do it in 15 seconds instead of taking 20 minutes to load the Mourningstar 3 times (plus more when it freezes and I have to restart)
devs themselves use that mod
It lets you access every section of the Mourningstar from the character select screen, including the mission board

someone on the dev stream got caught saying "woah its so weird having to walk to the terminal to get missions"
mmt doesnt work in char selection :/
It does, I use it constantly
I use LogMeIn for that, Psych Ward just lets you skip the Mourningstar
I dunno what error you got, I haven't gotten errors mixing MMT and Psych
I know that you get an error with MMT if your mission is more than 24 hours old
I use maelstroom.net to get my MMT missions
Do they really?
ik which loading order u have?
lol good to know that theres a website tho it has no maelstroms?
If you select "flash missions" it gives you maelstroms. I have Psych Ward at the top of my list and MMT at the bottom
kk
and lets say if i quit a mission i can instantly rejoin via mmt
fatsharkgames went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Warhammer 40,000: Darktide VOD now.
they do faster movespeed in mourningstar or something
i hate walking to the terminal so much its unreal
idk I haven't done that
What command are you doing for that error
/mmt x
Huh, I have never seen that

Clearing hordes with it looks so nice

excuse me what the fuck
i'm getting carpal tunnel just looking at this
Which is why you use auto-fire so you can hold left click, or make a macro
Cheating 
i literally just started scrolling through options to see if auto-fire was something that'd just eluded me all this time lol
oh my bad, it's a mod

Having a macro for button pressing is not cheating, unless it lets you do it faster than humans 
Or with more perfect timing
All macros and mods are cheating, because I don't have access to them 
I can? 
Pretty sure, I would of course check before buying one or something tohugh
Ah that accessibility thing, yes I think you can

oe, i need help with a Penance i don,t really undestand it
or two
If...someone could help me to undestand it well, of course
I can give it a whirl.
Can't say I'm mega-experienced with all Penances, but I'll try.
What penance?
bombshell
What is that, I'm not in-game atm
Idk, that why i ask, is hard to undestand it, i try to search in Google and ask someone in the Lobby but is only for Psyker, that all
He meant what is the text of the penance so that he can tell you what to do. You only told him the name which no one remembers
My bad, in a minute i will tell ya what is say
Im not in the game right now XD

Nice blaze trauma
Slap blazing spirit on that instead of flurry and you're in the trauma club
I'm looking through the psyker penances right now and I can't find one called Bombshell
maybe it's Going Out With a Bang?
i'm infamously oblivious

Maybe he is not an English speaker so it could be a bad translation
Im not sure about it, in spanish, say BombShell=Bombazo
That would make sense. @distant topaz If it's that one, you need to use a warp attack when you're at 100% peril to blow yourself up. Doing so causes damage in an area around you, so you do it while standing directly next to a shotgunner or something to kill them with your exploding death
Yeap
ahh, localization teams
"Perils of the Warp" is what it's called when you explode at max peril and die
Aaaah, Thx man, that make sense for me now
Idk why we have in spanish this Penance : BOMSHELL
Because translations are weird like that sometimes 
obviously we didn't just inherit the Emperor's psychic powers, we inherited his good looks
True
pls no spreading false information in chat
our day will come
🤢
I saw that
I was making a joke about the false information thing, but damn, I just felt sick to my stomach
i didnt see that so ill change topics
Yes, right after we get the force greatsword
every psyker has a little bit of the emperor in them
I'm going to get a moonlight forcesword or die trying
except astropaths they have an entire fist
Atlas said support psykers with smite and bubble are the cornerstone of the team, put him in a black ship and get rid of him
This is literally a bold faced lie

One more question, is a stupid one
bro got cooked for too long before arriving to terra
I played a dirty EP smite bubble psykers to get my bubble penance done. I will answer to no one for it
were turning you into an astropath
Someone know what mission where the Tower is?
Which tower? I can think of a few things that look like a tower
I leave wreckage and waste and vomit in my wake
The one where is 3 Brigde, i think the type of the mission is espionage
Bridges at the end of the mission that lead into the middle where you need to hack?
Vigil Station Oblivum, I think
I think so
do you leave the bridge to get on the elevator or the opposite
I hope that is the correct , thx again, you are a good Man
He played smite + bubble and doesn't feel bad about it, how can someone like that be a good man?
Still good, but it doesn't carry you anymore
i see
Oh damn
yeah still clears and deals with snipers just the same
I think the opposite
then yeah vigil station
i just have so much trouble with those ogryn shield mferes
Assail doesn't help against them
Oh damn, i remember, first Hack something in the Tower and late, go extraction
I remember it now
youll learn to dance around them or just use a force sword now it breaks the shield
Do you need to run to extration with a lot of enemies?
i do enjoy the ilisis mk v
up until the update i used to ignore bulwarks and let my team handle them
Yep!
smh should have said the one where masozi blows up two bridges
whats proper way to use void staff
Hab is a great map
give us more missions with that kind of hectic evac
I don't think he's talking hab dreyko. That one doesn't have a tower, it's a gross tree
aim for heads try to position yourself to have enemies come at you in a row
either way
You kind of enter a tower like building and go up several levels, and at the end there are 3 bridges where 2 blow up 
charge when you need more damage lmb spam for trash or finishing off enemies you nuked
I still think it's Vigil Station but I'm curious to know what it is once you find it
Surge and Trauma
Give us a mission that's literally just an escape
That map is not mandatory but it is the best map to push enemies down
(Please buff by the way)

Yes 
Of course if you know another map to push a multitude of enemies, I'm all ears
You can do that penance on either Vigil Station or Hab Dreyko, lots of spots on both those maps. And many other maps for that matter. I think I did it on Hab Dreyko at the end extraction section
You can also be a complete nerd and use the giant hole on smelter
But then you aren't allowed back here
Chasm Station https://youtu.be/SiZp4X8YQww?t=2s
This is the psyker penance where you have to knock some enemies off of a ledge. Did not expect to get it that easily. I guess the enemies jumped off on their own and my smite killed them while they were doing it.
I remember when cliffhanger was ?20 guys getting knocked off. Did it on hab. Sooo much easier now
Look, a guy recommended me to join Discord so they could help me, and the truth is, he was right, but I'm one of the people who doesn't want to bother others with stupid questions or bother them with that.
I mean, this Discord
it was 20 ye
You come to the correct place, people here like answering questions and helping our brothers fight heretics. And collect meaningless internet points
20 guys, i still remember it
If people didn't ask question to get better at the game all we would do is complain, so keep asking 
Well complain and post our bricked weapons after we got great stats on one
Now i know all this Penance, thx for ya all, i will be ready
Yeah, it would be reddit
Nah, we'd probably just show off our mods to xbox players



Gun
Gun psyker with scriers gaze
I am personally partial to melting them with fire, ye.
Voidstrike doesn't have the pure damage, but its Surge crits can stagger.
Can be quite useful.
Kill everything that's not the boss and let your team deal with it, then join it with whatever you have
Which is why fire is best. DoT stacks let you ignore the boss after application.
pbb light em up achlys

Just run the hammerstaff, it does extra boss damage with this skin
