With all the reasons its worse
when i hear americans and europeans talking to eachother about labor laws the european is always stunned at how the shit the american is saying can even be legal or real lmao
I mean, bias doesnt matter in the face of raw logic
same with a lot of other shit
I know the dot com boom ended years ago but why don’t people just make a new facebook and hit big 🤔
They do? Theres compnies like openAI and anthropic
You are def very logical and not covering your bias in a veneer
Thatre relatively newer
And? Who do you think made them
That are essentially exploding
theres alot of nonsense AI startups that get money from VCs, cash out, then just leave all their employees to die
Yea, in the bad way
Out of all 4 staffs, which do yall consider the strongest and weakest
i cant wait to hit the technological singularity
trauma void surge/purge strong to weak
Purge and surge in the bottom half, void and trauma in the top half. All of them are playable
Truly i love the usa supplyside jesus ai that just fills the internet with bots and generated slop instead of AI to actually improve our life
Can’t even look up ferrets without the first section of images being ai trash
The other 3 strong in their own ways; but purg has weaknesses the strengths don't make up
ai is the death of creativity
Truly lamest timeline
We don’t even get flying cars or cool augmentations instead we have like, one killer brain implant that is being tested
Purg needs a buff, burn dot deals 200 per tick pls
The main problem with purge is that it isnt good against crushers and it has bad range, but its still really good, especially to stagger and for concentrated fire
Also 100% brittleness
Imo, surge is weakest
Nah surge has a good dps but it’s only on one target, they mirror each other in their own bad ways
But you can get a ton of shocks off with flurry
I still prefer purge over it since purge can be pretty nutty and fun
Considering that a good number of runs are ended by a fat elite pack that isnt dealt with
Purgs weaknesses become quite a bit apparent lol
Esp when the other 3 easily handle crushers
Clearly Purg should be replaced with a Conflagration Cannon
The only elite I see it struggle against is crushers
Bulwark lives matter
When I use it, it shreds elites
Ugh American innovation in the past decade is a joke. Nfts? GenAI? New ways to target people with advertisements, no more cheap box mac
It does but if people bitch that its bad then it'll get buffed
In my experience, their lives are ended pretty quickly
I actually think its pretty good lol
Widespread electric cars, supercharging network, mobile phones becoming ubiquitous
The mobile phone ubiquitous literally required the EU courts
Or else we’d be stuck buying a new charger every generation for every brand
I think it was pretty heavily driven by technological advancements by google and apple
For profit
Electric cars have also had their progress halted by lobbying a ton in the usa
Literally the opposite they make more money if every charging port is different
pure EVs are a dead end because battery tech requires literal magic to get the energy density of hydrocarbons
Idk what supercharging network even means
Tbf i think hybrids are a great middleman especially in the current sociopolitical climate of America
hybrids and/or pure hydrogen will be the future
or possibly some synthetic renewable hydrocarbon
power cars on the tears of darktide players waiting for an update
Illisi + purge 
Like, and how does those changes affect the majority? Most people on the lower income probably hasn’t even touched into EVs yet, and are using relatively ancient smarthphones
modern cars f'ing suck anyway
Running water, heating and cooling, refrigeration, cheap boxed foods
That’s the innovation that matters imo
Supercharging network I.e., free copper to street rats.
i’d do deimos or ds4 over it for heavy bois but eh
America is a slowly rotting mass, stuck on past glories and current mindsets. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps being paid less to work more to pay more
Dont you dare question the system because you might be rich one day
americans dont work to live, they live to work
You’re more than fair to question the system, but you’re not hitting the target when you do. If you were, you’d be deplatformed.
every country got problems 
Fry shows an enlightened look on future politics.
Futurama - S07E03 - Decision 3012
One of my favorite quotes from the first half of this season.
I mean, if i said what i wanted to say i’d be deplatformed
Im not exactly dumb enough to go full out on a random gaming discord
agreed, but some places are worse than others
I prefer illisi cuz its more versitile + I have uncanny on it so it be doing good work
At least we aren’t Canada
id much rather live in america than the third world, but theres a handful of countries id much rather live in than america
and i agree id rather live here than canada
but would live in australia over america any day
Canada let itself be torn down trying to be both different and the same as USA and now has the worst traits of both
canada's not so hot rn
im just afraid for all lgbt folk in america moving forwards
their right to exist is held as a political debate, and a 50/50 one at that
they can at least arm themselves for protection in america
id rather live in a place where those things are a given, not a "maybe"
There is a saying, don’t bring your guns to town
Despite owning guns myself, i do not want things to worsen to any point i might need them
Every gunfight is a gamble and risk
unfortunately animals don't care about your ethics
just slide
You could be in complete self defense and the cops will shoot you cause you are technically a “shooter”
that is a positive, but an even better positive is not needing said gun in the first place
even ignoring social strife, not having a firearm won't protect you against a bear that wants to maul you
or a pack of boar or dingos
Lmao 30-50 wild boars
why does every discord i go to at some point end up with lets all live in a commune away from everyone else
because most discord users live in a fantasy world
The bear one isn’t too accurate, bears very rarely fuck with humans (outside of polar bears)
id say im much more likely to encounter a murderous transphobe than a hungry bear in the city
you're more likely to get mugged for looking like a soft target
its true i never get robed because im hard all the time
people suck
Desperate and or cowards
yes, so why not take advantage of the great equalizer?
death?
big iron on my hip
imagine trying to rob one of those professional gunslingers who can draw and hit a target in like .2 seconds
*freedom noises*
because it goes both ways
wat
Wait until you see someone do a triple shot
Three rounds in one fan
i hate how america glorifies guns like they're the 3rd best thing in existence after "freedom" and taking away womens rights
i do find it funny how players of a game where guns defend you against being outnumbered and undersized will still say guns are bad
you can be outnumbered and undersized irl
🤯
how's my 70 year old mother going to defend herself against a home invader that's 2/3rds her age, twice her size, and 3x her muscle mass?
you're so brainwashed
pot, kettle
tell her to use her void staff like my grandma does
that's not the world we live in
its the world i live in, thank fuck
well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts
violence exists everywhere; if you think it doesn't, you're willfully ignorant
hadron keeps bricking my ma's voidstaffs
freedom only applies to them and whomever they deem worthy of having freedom
the only time i ever got mugged in my life was when i was visiting europe
🤔 which country
yeah
thats why you go to the less known places budapest, zagreb, sarajevo, belegrade anywhere in poland really
we actually recognize rights are inherent to all persons except those who forfeit their rights by willfully violating the social contract via violent crime. the bill of rights, aka the first 10 amendments, were requisite for our constitution to be ratified by all the states
this is in contrast to most countries where you are only given the privilege of owning a means of defending yourself
i liked my trip to denmark and sweden
thankfully most people i needed to interact with spoke english
i suppose they forgot to include people of color, guess that idea didnt come around for a few decades or so
and women got the short end of the stick too up until last century, and even then we're still trying to take rights away from them
and now you have lgbt folk, who're basically demonized by an entire political party that half the nation supports, not to mention said party vows to restrict these rights and crack down on them for merely existing
you don't have freedom and you don't have rights, you have temporary privileges of which the government can take away for any reason at any time.
no way im stepping foot in sweden id rather spent 30 minutes communicating in broken hungario-german with random schwab shopkeepers in croatia than risk going to sweden
slavery was highly contentious at the time of the ratification. a handful of states demanded it remain because their economies relied on it; rather than forgo independence from britain (where slavery was still legal btw), they opted to retain slavery and then we fought the deadliest war in the history of our country to free the slaves
saudi arabis still had slaves until the 60s yet no one talks about that
america was one of the first places to stop that
literally
slavery still ongoing in africa too
slaves weren't just people of color in early america, either
though they constituted the majority
anyway most americans would be happy for anyone to be able to defend themselves, regardless of creed, gender, or color, but that doesn't get clicks or views, so of course you hear about the hateful few
squeaky wheel and all that
im out here strokin my force sword
real
psyker chat having a normal one i see
we ran out of content+new people to teach+things to bitch about

i'm getting off rn
still waiting for ogryn psyker to drop
this peril shit hittin hard
bro...


you gotta edge your peril better
go fast eat ass
never hit 100
aaa aaa AAAAAAAAAAAA
mission failed we'll get 'em next toime
just use unchained ult for maximum edge
what do each of the force sword specials do
self-defense while black is a very risky proposition
"self-defense" while white seems to be murder of black folks
more damage 
why cant u talk about psyker like normal servants of the empire
im depressed i guess
idk what power sword is
all of my playtime has been zealot up until this point
starting my wizard roleplay arc
What flag is in@your bio
guns are awesome tbh, cannons even more so
its where all the cool people live
ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE????
soz i'll get out
Wait fr tho what’s the flag
With illisi sword. Dont really heavy attack right?
Bc idk what I’m doing
Watched some yt that’s why lol bro didn’t heavy attack once
H1L2 until everything is dead
Is yt no good?
maan its unreal how much content vt2 has
why cant we have shit like that 😭
why cant we have a team wide meat grinder
YouTube is fine if you are new to the game or class, but there are some things that teach bad habits 
giv chaos wastes
the hab dreyko roulette?
Sure, but watching a video is a lot more fun 
Tbf I watched a vid from a dude with less than a hundred subs. Was just doing auric damnation with assail
nah im talking shit about it
No Hab Dreyko slander please
fuck hab dreyko
THIS WEEKEND WE GO TO THE HAB'
and end this debate
What’s Psyker Bible
Are you planning to throw on purpose? 
we can do that yes, not sure about carrying though
Oh
I’ll carry
i dont think i lost one hab game i played after the update but you never know
sure
what new class would you want
give me tech priest or give me death
err not tech priest but uhh
the army dudes from them
skitarii
I have, but wasn't my fault 
i was mostly thinking about ratling sniper
But also those weird assassins would be nice
some kind of servitor would probably have some goofy voice lines
i just want to be a robot
tech adept
servitor is kinda, too much non character, and full on priests and skitarii are a bit too elite to be a reject for the inquistion, tech adept fits better imo
they speak in binary
Techs are also elite
ratling sniper won't happen just cause fatshark said they only want one degree of height separation
tech adept is below tech priest and (ignoring the tech adept who is basically a super tech priest in inquisitor martyr) would be able to use the human base silhouette
we have psykers with training we can have skitarii 
besides a Mechadendrite or something
our psyker are relatively weak, they just happen to also be exceptionally stable
the ingame play of dt is not one to one with lore, same thing as vt2.
Hm, wonder what problems they had with Bardin
in vt2 it was just bardin and the rest human sized
in dt it's ogryn and the rest human sized
if i cant do auric yet bc skill issue should i just do reg damnation mission
yee
ty
come here ill carry you
no, i feel fine on Auric damnation
I only play on auric heresy. You’re making me look like a noob
Why do auric heresy???
i tried a auric heresy and got obliterated in seconds
Just do regular damnation
bettter rewards
valid
do you play for rewards or for fun?
i have more fun when im getting better stuf f
I don't understand the purpose of auric heresy 
it was just said, better rewards
Auric heresy is my comfort level and more specialists than plain damnation. Also better rewards too
Ah, you are not maxed out
then yeah
Damnation has even faster leveling 
You have several cry corners?
Ok
are there any essential talents for psyker
Soulstealer is pretty good, kinetic deflection is good, warp rider is nice, true aim is nice
Essential as in always pick when available?
yeah like how thy wrath be swift is considered essential for zealot
Psyker builds can change pretty drastically depending on weapon choice
Well in that case I would say soulstealer and warp rider are "essential". Still lots of variance depending how on staff choice for other stuff
Quietude also pretty good option for staff psyker
All the essential talents are things you have to path through anyway, things like One With the Warp, Psykentic's Aura, Quietude. Things you don't have to path through but are still essential are Warp Rider. Perilous Combustion and Kinetic Deflection, imo, some might disagree with the essential part, but they are great
Mettle and Perfect Timing if you play something with crit, which is most staff builds 
Oh yeah psykinetics aura pretty good aswell, but you are likely to path through it
The only essential talent is warp rider. Obviously you have essentials like “toughness regen” nodes but you can do those in a variety of ways. Warp rider will be present in any “good” build
I would always take perilous combustion as well its p easy to get and is absurd value
Nodes connected to it are good anyway
Yeah, that is probably the next one I always take
Taking more toughness regeneration nodes is a good plan too
These are the ones that I always pick when I can 
Ye aura is p w/e
Middle aura is usually the best though
They are all whelming but like nice enough
I wouldn't skip Soulstealer either
Crit chance one is nice with knife tho
Like half of my talent choices are to try to avoid the bruiser love tap of death
Any kind of toughness regeneration, especially ones which activate at different times, is premium
The only one I don't always take is warp expenditure
But if I can afford it, I get it
Toughness gen is nice yeah
Almost all my builds are with warp charges, can't afford it, but on the builds I can I do take it 
I think my main build runs soulstealer/mettle
dam why are the penance cosmetics better than the shop SHEEESH
I don't like that because you need enemies for toughness regen, if you are ever in a situation where you need to get toughness while hiding you are screwed 
That's like half of the reason why I don't like warp charges tbh
Yeah i simply accept that fate although i have assail so its p rare i cant kill something
Underwhelming effect for a big investment of points
Doesnt really screw me in spots where im not dead anyway too often
On the other hand, Trauma becomes a tank staff
Because every cast refills your toughness
Well thats for a gunker build
Are the two fire nodes required for purg staff to work or nah?
More shrieks are more shrieks 
Which ones
Purge would work without them but itll help
I don't like wildfire with it
Id take perilous at least
Perilous combustion is great though
Wildfire and perilious
And if you do go warp charges, consider in fire reborn
Wildfire is not needed, perilous yes though
Creeping flames is prob fine still just a bit overkill unless your purging a crusher pack and abusing uncanny interaction
Solve that problem by running shield instead 
Also why not soul stealer
Soul stealer = free toughness when using staff
Because I don't have room for it in over half my builds, when I do, I take it. But I wouldn't take it over Quietude. So it's not 'essential' for me at least
just go ep lmao
surge and trauma are pretty much the only staves that i'm forced to run siphon on
Take both
Maybe? I don't remember which that was.
this
🤔 dont really need thy wrath be swift on evi
No, I don't like whatever that keystone is called. I'll try it next time I'm on though.
id much rather have until death
ok hear me out
don't need until death with thy wraft
the keystone of slide dodging off the map
🤔 idk about this one boss
give it a shot some time
I also dc about this one boss
I wanted to ask, is bio better for smite Psyker? 🤔
if you're still losing >200hp, just git gud
No.
nuh uhhh
IG not 😔
I mean you can use the scoreboard to do some simple math
Would be cool if it also extended to allies in coherence
Plus the ability to get a EP stack guarnteed, on demand.
Like the warp one
If you kill 1,000 stuff, that's 50 more stacks.
That's definitely less than the elites you kill if you have 1,000 kills.
Plus as I said, reliability.
doesn't bio lodestone interact with the EP stacks from teammates in coherence?
I dont think so
imagine having over 200hp
couldnt be me
Always take holy rev and until death.
no
Okay you're better than me.
Scoreboard this, scoreboard that
Yes, they are on the way to the DR aura anyway 
ideally what do I want on my curios
As perks or blessings or both? 
No take loner with those nodes.
both
I do that too 
For blessings I have seen every combination of 2 toughness 1 health, 2 health 1 toughness, 2 toughness 1 +3 stamina, one of each. Depends on what you like.
Perks I like gunner resist and a mix of health and toughness and ordo dockets. But sniper resistance or CDR are also nice
Stamina because of the Kinetic Deflection talent, I should add
Triple toughness gamers 
my health curio is so low i thought of going triple tough
Jokes on you, I don't need a scoreboard to know I am getting carried
i want one so i can see myself at the top
But you want one, don'tcha

Some way to judge how good my builds are would be nice, yes

u sure? cuz im thinking of switching out wildfire for mettle
who takes perfect timing with purge when purge cant hit weakspots (i think idk)
wait im thinking true aim



I don't even want to see your skill tree
What's the crit string of the Purgatus?
ok here tell me who to optimize my purg tree

Take a screenshot of this
For future reference

does this, and other talents with the same condition require me to be in coherency for it to work for myself?
No
oh sweet

huh

asking cos i want to do true solos eventually
Also I'd personally run toughness gen on warp charge since you are running shriek, cause Purg is low peril gen.
And that was way too much work for a joke that's not even funny

wait no soul stealer?
Mettle go brr
Man I hate warp charges, so much points.
Plus you have full EE uptime in purg range
EE, 6 warp charges, and KD, are the "free points". Move em whereever
Everything else is non-negotiable.
so remove perilious and wildfire for mettle + perfect?
There is perilous


How much EP smite have you been playing, your dent is huge today
sibling its time to have a talk
your warp siphon addiction is getting out of hand
Soulstealer and Wildfire for Mettle and perfect
I don't really use warp siphon that oftne, he had it though.
put down those nodes
That works.
Warp Siphon means more fire, more fire is good
warpsiphon means zero talents
goodbye my sweet infinite toughness
before long ur gonna look like this
put down these nuts.
What do you think mettle does
You are constantly criting.
i will if you will
ok fair

its cheap
ikno
Actually nuts are super expensive
Er well if you go by $ per 100 calorie, they are kinda afforable, they just don't seem that way at first
ikno

I have 5 chestnut trees in the park in front of my house, nuts are literally free
shits fucking expensive
It's safe to say you are just covered in deez nuts.
americans are so lucky to have affordable PEEcans

penty of people say peecans and theyre FUCKING WRONG

You can drop EE for soulstealer
dont drop anything go EP and enjoy ONE FREE POINT
They are called pecan'ts, because you can't afford them
😭
It's called peecan't, because you are getting older and didn't take care of yourself well, so you struggle a bit.
i mean i can i just can justify it when i can buy 5 times their weight in MEAT
also, i wanna add deflector on this but dunno what to switch it out for
Clad enjoys meat over nuts, confirmed
no
keep everything as is
Clad will take 5 times the meat just to avoid the nuts
But that's unstable power
yes switch unstable for uncanny elite for maniac and its PEAK
IM DYIN over here trying to make one that looks like that
1 deimos with unstable/uncanny 1 with uncanny/deflector and 1 with executor/uncanny are all needed!!!
i say keep it as is until you figure out which deimos you need since that one can be either
Just roll one with uncanny as the anchor blessing
its that easy 😭
Update will fix it
What kind of meat we talking about
Cause 1 pound of pecans is like 3k calories
So 5x the price actually lines up to some degree
does this include peril quelled through means other than holding R?\
Yes
big
so true
mystery meat
soo close
Only 25 more Hab Dreykos
lmao since investigation missions are rare, I have been doing low levels
it feels weird
That's cheating, auric or it doesn't count 
Yes, now go back to grinding sibling
Sometimes, depends on my own build
thats a hadron issue
If I play trauma I would prefer one of them to do the scans 
i think ima roll for a better staff, i feel as if its not that great for horde clear bc of that low charge
Blast radius is dump stat as well on void
If you get lucky it can be great, but you need to roll 2 things you need with your next two upgrades 
How much do you trust Hadron?
is that the priest blessing person
if so
with all my life
if the emporer believes then i believe
its ok as long as you get flurry/nexus for a second blessing
Hadron is the one that upgrades the weapons
or flak as a second perk
LETS TRY
Good luck
sooo i dont have nexus
Lucky
zero nexuses?
none
welllllll
Melk?
i can try upgrading to blue a few times
youll get a nexus eventually

and already 30?
ive done nothing but go to the gym and play this game like a degenerate
You can level fast
Next step is playing it in the gym
so do i try a couple staffs to blue trying to get nexus??
yeah thats how i got a bunch of blessings
If you have the mats, sure why not 
but use ones you wont miss
Welcome to psyker, sibling
i know exactly how you feel
brb gonna call fat shark ceo
gonna tell him my dad is warhammer 40k ceo
theyll listen
Big E
man

Spending 40k when you can just buy it from Melk, smh
i know how you feel
i was leveling dclaws yesterday, leveled 3 of them to orange and got both trauma and thunderstrike 3 times in a row
i made a second zealot just for that reason
how make money
fast
i needa make money like a crack addict that hasnt had any crack in 42hrs
Damnation 
carry me and ill send feet pics
(jk)
||im not jk||
i got really lucky on my ds4 and columnus and now trying to get literally anything else for any other character the game is like “no”
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Are you in EU? We can do some quick play missions, don't feel like talking though 
what was the one on voidstrike that makes you shoot 2x
im NA
Surge
ill deal with lag idc
I will invite you in a few minutes then
Literally never.
yay
I once had my entire team take turns trying to finish the new hab dreyko scan, and uh.... yeah.
Sometimes I purposefully won't do any objectives on Hab dreyko just to see how long it'll take my teammates to do them.
"HOW DO YOU DO THE PUZZLE?"
I've gone 10+ minutes with nothing done.
I don't understand how these people normally play the game.
Like there isn't a "me" in every match, right?
Or maybe there's a hidden MMR lmao
think ive gotten that mission once in 150 hours of quickplay
They arnt always playing investigation missions
Let me show u pain tho: https://youtu.be/OfOjnph_ubI?si=-Dub_66Wt2bVJFPb

Most people play Darktide for the HAHAHA SOO SCARY THIS IS HARD!!!!
Clickbait Mr beast style videos
U don't understand, it's an "artistic style" to have DD breasts and no ribcage, I swear they are actually creating a "persona" and that's why people watch them!
Yeah, you carry 3 morons
Ever since the Skulls update , matchmaking has been absolute hell
Take a break for months, come back, people still allergic to pressing w
Tbh I wish the rage quit, an AI at least picks u up
Lmao, It varies. In aurics, it can be everyone shift+Wing and leaving all the resources behind
Wait I haven't been doing auric recently because of the mission type penance
It's just as bad?
I wish the AI would take longer to spawn, some runs are just doomed
Sometimes. If not worse
What compels people to be like "wow I just started playing, I think I'm rdy for auric 😎"
Muh scoreboard must be higher than everyone else
I've seen people swing the air more than enemies
Must be trying to sway a fly, nurgle stinky 😔
Oh i use it. But i dont use it for that reason. I just it for personal stats
In my premade, i use it to tell my friend that he has done 1k damage less than me and must now be dropped
And vice versa
At the end of the day, the person who clutches the game is always a winner no matter what.
Me doing 0 damage the entire game, but I clutch by smiting the crusher horde:
Eh, as long as you feel good about it
no investigation missions 😔
Does the smite passive still boost the number of enemies hit by the surge staff?
no, it was patched a long time ago
whats "proper" way to use surge staff
Surge staff isn't for hordes due to the damage being focused on one enemy. Its secondary is great at nabbing specials, elites, and shooters. The primary has a lot of suppression (all stave primaries do); it can get longer ranged enemies.
It's fast paces with forgiving aiming but should be paired with an aoe option to clear trash mobs. It also generates a peril quickly. So pairing creeping flames with it is a great choice.
Illisi is a good natural pair for it too
You want it to have nexus and flurry
And i forget the perks
I think the purg m1 does more stagger than actual suppression
Surge staff is perfect with Psiconic Smite Psyker because it fills the weakness of single tareget damage
ur missing out 😔
yeah it's non interactive, but a good smite build just makes the entire run 3 times easier
when ur grinding mats, it is useful especially with randoms on ur team
tbh i consider it more interactive than purge build, because you actually need to keep tabs on your stacks and cooldowns
purge is prob "meta" atm tho for auric, just because it's soo useful at wiping hordes
also with purge u can go bubble, since you dont need a venting blitz to extend the duration of the fire
I’ve witnessed how fun ruining smite can be so I have sworn to never use it. Brain burst forever.
Most smite hate is bullshit. When a match is going rough or there's an emergency a smite psyker popping up is a fat relief
Nothing has me saying "Oh thank god" faster than watching the 7 crushers rapidly approaching me in a corner than the psyker next to me tazering them in place

Or you know, just kill em
A lot of people say it is bad
I do agree that it can be boring, I don't play it very regularly
I think smite is way too strong.
I also think smite spam is an easy way to tell if someone is a bad player.
There are two smite spammers in this picture.
But if I want an easier game I always go smite
Well two smites is bad
You never need more than one
My point is one smite spammer did 860k, the other did 140k.
Yeah, there's not really room for two
You still aren't getting it, but that's okay.

I'm sayin that the other smiter was spamming but he wasn't getting shit because hte other guy had everything handled already
If I had to guess I'd say the other guy also probably wasn't using shriek with creeping flames
Anyways, smite spam is a good sign they are a terrible player, but you can also carry with smite spam if you are a good player.
But it's primary purpose is not CC
If you use it as a CC tool, you are wasting time and reducing cleave damage.
..or you're saving your team from an emergency situation
No one is helped by an inconsistent stun that they have no idea when it ends.
It feels like the CC is helping, but it's functionally not.
I literally just posted a board where I did 860k damage spamming smite 90% of the game.
Me when im trying to instadelete the pack of ragers with my parry but they get chain stunned and so take 5 times as long to kill
My man when your teammates are getting fucked up and about to die, the CC is absolutely helping and godsend because it gives them time to escape their sitaution
Yeah smite can hurt more than it helps esp if i have to babysit the guy smiting
860k damage doesn't kill shit ?
Id rather just wipe than have the game play itself tbh
It can be helpful, but its not always helpful simply because its stunning something
Okay, so you REALLY didn't get the point at all of why I posted that.
You said you did, but you are now speaking like you didn't.
So I guess we are done, agree to disagree

This is actually my biggest issue, smite psykers make me fall asleep or i have to babysit them
I'm not just killing shit, I'm killing everything
You are killing horde, that Ogryn likely has more elite damage.
Do you not see most ranged elites, most disablers, and most specials also killed
Probably special, and obviously boss.
That's killed
smite is great at PC triggering and getting kills
Riiight so I'm just stealing all the kills
That's a very convenient viewpoint for your opinion
You're right, we should agree to disagree
You literally posted a board pretending you carried when the Ogryn likely did...
At least my board actually showed my point.
Which you missed
Except I did carry
only useful smite in DT history
and any game I run smite I do, because smite is both easy to use and incredibly strong
Right, cause you are doing DPS.
Despite what some people think, it is actually a lot easier to kill enemies when they're CCd in place and taking smite/flame damage over time
I suppose for the occasional parry player it may not be
They're just gonna have to cope
If you are shit at the game, sure. Otherwise you have issues with cleave damage.
And you have no notion of when the smite is going to drop.
until something is stunned out of postion or suddenly thrown to the ground and i now need to adjust
^
Another problem, it ruins chokepoints
Now look, when you run smite creeping flames, you can usually do enough DPS to outpace the negatives of smite
But that's a rare case.
Chokepoints + smite is literally where it performs best, because you don't have to cover any other angles and EVERYTHING is stunned and dying
Yes, smite performs best in terms of DPS
when its like things i can one shot or not many enemies sure its easier
Not provides a useful CC service
I honestly don't know why anyone would run anything but smite + shriek/creeping flames
but at that point i dont need it smited anyway
EP smite buff shows exactly what players are running

I don't think smite is good with anything other ability
I mean you can run EP with flames and all that
I prefer WS though
You can keep smite up a long time for a lot of control while doing a lot of damage
Idk you're not really being clear
what do you mean by this
EP smite got a buff because most people run it with shield like idiots.
EP smite with shriek did not need a buff.
You can take EP smite with shriek/flames with only one extra perk point to take one of hte modifiers
At the end of the day its just about psyker having so many viable playstyle options at the hardest difficulties
Idk why they would buff it though
The funny thing about smite is
Because so many people like yourself constantly talk bad about it, it will never be nerfed and if anything will only be buffed
Of all the abilities in the game it might actually be the safest from unwanted changes
yeah idk why they buffed smite the way they did it doesnt really need to do damage but i think it needs a full rework anyway
now i will say i DO agree that it's boring
But I will never agree with the people who say that it's bad or somehow makes the game harder for the team
Smite is literally the coast through the game ez mode when your team wants to relax
If they're about to overhead slam you and your buddy in a corner yeah, you may not have room to dodge it all
Not every combat situation has you with ideal space or health to deal with it right away
So if I play like an idiot, it MIGHT be useful.

To be clear, we are discussing the CC.
I mean if you are saying that you are always 100% on the up and up, then yeah you never need smite
Congratulations you are a professional player
Yeah not only idiots get caught in bad situations
Did you see that crap post on reddit about the guy saying he has lost 9/10 aurics and they are unfinishable now? Yeah, those are the people we play with now
That's a ridiculous ass misconception
yeah i do admit i need to be in a comedically bad spot to actually be glad someone is smiting
Psyker is one of the best crusher killers, smiting it is just bad gameplay.
Unless you are EP smiting with shriek to kill everything around the crusher.
But smiting for the sake of a crusher

I mean nobody should be smiting for the sake of one mob ever
Yeah that's certianly what I meant. Do I have to type 7 crushers every time.
I just offered an example of something that could overwhelm someone and how smite can be used to adjust position or take a few down before they become active again
It could be 3 crushers, 3 bulwarks, some ragers, and a poxwalker horde with specials, the kind of shit you run into plenty in maelstroms / histg
Anyways, off topic, but ovenproof is the superior scoreboard.
It's more accurate too, old scoreboard has some issues with overkill damage.
I have been seeing that one around
I should really switch I just haven't gotten around to it
Plus you get all the seperate damage numbers for mobs, elites, etc.
I notice no scoreboard seems to function with boss kills
You can track ranged mobs killed too, which I like.
No one ever fucking kills ranged mobs
actually killing enemies > standing in place and doing nothing for cc
psyker has insane damage output and you could easily take out that group of crushers instead
Smite does a lot of damage, esp if you run it with shrieking flames like you should be
"crushers"
You will top the damage and lesser kills every game

Keep in mind part of the reason it's so easy to top damage is because you are actively reducing your teammates damage in many cases.
ok ngl topping lesser kills is like really w/e for me unless you are the only person who can deal with horde density
lesser enemies are rarely a threat
Topping lessers isn't a big deal nah but it does just give people breathing room
Smite is good damage and excellent map control
Idk why it's so undervalued
i dont think its bad
When I needed to do 5 maelstroms and 10 aurics in a row without going down, I ran smite, and nobody else went down in those matches with me either
they were cake easy
i think a lot of people dont really like playing with it, both as a psyker and as a teammate
Genuinely my only criticism of the ability is that I think it's overpowered and lets you turn your brain off
It's undervalued because
- 99% of players spam smite while using shields.
- The CC is not as useful as it seems.
- It reduces your teammates damage by preventing enemies from bunching.
I mean honestly all of this depends on the psyker using it
It also strips the fun out of hordes
smite does no dmg unless you run EP and specifically build around it
and even then no one likes that cause its the most lobotomized way to play the game
You only smite for CC when it's necessary and you SHOULD be smiting when enemies are nice and bunched so you don't have strays running around
Don't need EP if you run shriek flames, covers all your DPS for the most part
I go warp siphon since it lets me keep smite up for a long time if necessary
I will agree that it is the most lobotomized way to play the game
I hope I remain a pure BB user and never stray down the path of smite heresy
When I was grinding Hab Dreyko 250 times for the frame last year I had the game in a tiny window while I watched netflix and ran smite because I got bored of playing the same map over and over
commit assail heresy instead 🙂
BB is fucking lit
and underrated as fuck
My friends who DON'T play psyker try to tell me how it's useless
and I want to bash them over the head with a frying pan

Brain cells are definitely lost
Yeah
No I'm with you there
Smite is baby easy
It turns any game into malice difficulty
Make it fantasy lighting, and change the stagger to 1-30.
Make it completely unreliable in terms of stun
Even more so than it is already
They'd have to buff the damage if they did that though
Otherwise nobody would ever pick it
It's still the least picked ability already
There's no value in nerfing an underused ability
Reworking is more ideal
I'd argue that's not true. It's just people grab smite and don't really use it.
i just want them to swap smite and assail's places on the talent tree
then ill be big happy
Is there really a difference then?
It's underused in both cases
I personally love all of psykers Blitzes and think they're all great
I love that clip, I need a good in-game one.
i like lightning, lightning's cool
but smite sucks and shouldn't exist
To be honest if there's anything I really don't like that much it's the shield
It feels underwhelming compared to shriek
and Scrier's Gaze exists more or less exclusively for gunkers
Why would u use a gun when u can wizard roleplay
Exactly, there's three other classes for all that gun shit
SG would be more useful for staves if there was some sort of peril buffer at the end
As it stands it's too much effort for too little reward
gunker is great
When I did gunker for the penances it WAS fun, but it's so squishy and it's a massive ammo vacuum
It's strong though
I just wouldn't play it
Probably
I played it for maybe 10-15 games to get all the related penances
imo if you're an ammo vacuum on gunker you're doing something wrong
i use melee 90% of the time
gunker does usually give up some toughness gen i will say
Melee psyker sounds really appealing but I haven't looked into it at all
i do at least but i shit out so much damage it doesnt matter
Just run columnus gunker, but use your dueling sword more.
ds4 reliably deals with enough threats and well enough that i only pull out the columnus for bosses or a pack of something in my face that i no longer want to exist
You also wanna go BB instead of assial, so you get the aura
You can poke poke and get sg back
ye gunker for me is mainly assail + ST melee and the gun is just there
but I had a knife instead of a ds
I will add that
The only reason I've been playing smyker more lately is because I'm grinding the 75 grimoires
deimos/DS4 are very strong but i feel a little gross using them
I have a bleed dagger on my gunker. Got bored with DS.
I'm just going to pretend the gimorie penance doesn't exist.
and from experience nothing keeps me and my fellow grimoire carriers alive more than tazing the map
There's no universe I grind that
arco lying in wait for me to say something
i got lucky with my ds/ciag rolls and have been getting super unlucky with literally everything else
so i kinda have to use it unless i want to tank my performance
I'm almost there ! 
I must kill yoshi

your not capable
I'm going to get all the penances
Just roll for a blaze trauma, they are really easy to get, trust me
🙂
All I'm really missing is stuff like, play 50 pox gas, lights out, 250 aurics, 50 in each mission theatre, etc
frrom 4500 or from max
i was rolling dclaws yesterday and i leveled 3 to orange
on all 3 i got trauma and thunderstrike, on all 3 of them
I have some exploration shit left
dclaw is awful to roll
There's your problem, you were rolling for dclaw
im at 4515 and im missing a bunch of stuff from 3 classes
Like the tour of duties
cause it has 45 impact blessings for some reason
I have a 380 dclaw just sitting there waiting for the update

There's also the fucking
damn
VICIOUS slice (impact blessing)
bro did the hard stuff first
To be fair, it's kinda vicious to kill someone with a blunt blade.
Well I mean, playing so and so many of certain maps is just stuff you do WHILE doing other stuff
game has impact but no stagger levels explain this
if you were a blessing thats the blessing you would be
explain to me why when i stab an enemy on the ground they magically teleport to their feet 😭
when drg s5 drops ill prolly take a break from darktide until the update
especially considering shadow of the erdtree drops not too long after drg s5
I'm playing elden ring again atm
I can't wait for the new crafting system so that I can dump my fortune into minmaxing every item i have
But I want those numbers higher 😠
i just wanna have build variety without being punished for it
must keep playing
bruh its gonna be worse in different places
Maybe
New crafting material, all old mats barely do anything now

id be so sad
I'm doing alright, I've seen some higher numbers but I got a lot of shit for when I feel like trying new builds
i premoded some gears so in case locks reset i have a leg up 
i have 170k plasteel for a reason

if they somehow blunder the crafting update..
ordos are so easy to get compared to the other shit
It would sure be a shame if all those nice numbers wern't useful for the crafting update

although honestly i dont have many weapons i even need to chang e
i'd cry
itll just be the new ones
But
so i might not be using it anyway
I also already have basically all the builds i want
All I'd really get are the new weapons
ye thats where im at
i cant improve what i have all that much
unless they rework blessings
mfers focus too much on trying to get their perfect, tier 4 perk tier 4 blessings 380 weapons
cant wait to get a fully decked out DEIMOS OF ULTIMATE DEFENCE
its ok if shit is tier 3 or if it's a 370
inb4 i move back to vt2 because im tired of the crafting already
i thought about buying vt2 tbh
see, for instance, my ogryn c lub
you can get a key for it for like $3
