[upper sun]

give zealot trauma

[hearty oak]

They already do

[marble crater]

Give zealot power sword

[lethal lagoon]

Give zealot, zealot

When another zealot get's trapped, you can pick them up and use them as a flail with the net.

[jovial juniper]

Actually viable on the Mk15

[stone totem]

give the zealoted zealot a hammer they can barely hold through the net

Long range horde clear

[round gull]

Guys,opinions about this talent?

I mean i'm not sure if I like it

[thorn cedar]

whats your blitz

[round gull]

BB

[thorn cedar]

yes

[round gull]

*BR

yes what? XD

[thorn cedar]

use it

[round gull]

oh ok ok

[thorn cedar]

i mean idk what other options your tree has but i use it

[upper sun]

kinda mid

if you're going EP you have enough points for toughness on peril gain/loss+kill/crit and thats kinda more than enough

[round gull]

My talent tree

[thorn cedar]

its pretty fat on BB, youre often take ranged chip while channeling anyway, and its teamwide

and it procs a lot

[upper sun]

for what staff?

[round gull]

I'm between void and force

[upper sun]

mettle and perfect timing are huge tho

[thorn cedar]

i wouldn't bother with kinetic flayer

thats about it

[upper sun]

abd wildfire+ second bb upgrade are not great on void

ye second upgrade isnt good in general

[round gull]

oh

so no wildfire?

[upper sun]

nah

DD is better with void

[round gull]

DD?

uhhhm

[upper sun]

disrupt destiny

[round gull]

yeah

but i also use BR

is BR good with DD?

maybe yes

It would make sense

[upper sun]

uhhhh it should count as a weakspot kill

but since it doesnt work in meatgrinder i cant check

if you wanna use EP trauma is kind of a better option

since BB is kinda similar to what void does

[thorn cedar]

ye

i mean do what you want

but i agree void overlaps with BR

and DD is so good for void

[upper sun]

everything is playable except shredder auto gun

[round gull]

I'm not really sure,I'm trying to play psyker since I started to use more the vet,and I don't have a clear build i want

[round gull]

lmao

and what about smite+void+EP?

[thorn cedar]

i think smite ep in general is a sin against humanity

but its a slight bias

[round gull]

LMAO

[upper sun]

we dont do support psyker here

[round gull]

so which keystone is good for smite?

[thorn cedar]

smite is just good by itself

[round gull]

oh well

[thorn cedar]

so take whats good for your weapons

[round gull]

And I'm not using assail,I hate it

[thorn cedar]

man

i hate smite, but i also love it

[round gull]

Yeah it's weird

[thorn cedar]

i hate how most use it

[round gull]

lol

[thorn cedar]

it still needs a rework

[round gull]

Yeah

[thorn cedar]

but i like it

its fun

[round gull]

IT is

[thorn cedar]

the insta-zappy left click is fun

[round gull]

yay 😄

[thorn cedar]

right click can eat it tho

[round gull]

Who the fuck uses Scrier's gaze?

[thorn cedar]

me

[round gull]

[upper sun]

bruh

i just spawn fell through a map

[round gull]

oh,how lucky

Guys,is this affected by BR?

[thorn cedar]

other way around and yes

br is a weakspot hit so it stacks it up

but it doesnt crit so it wont consume it

[round gull]

shit

;_;

[thorn cedar]

or isnt ranged? whichever

[round gull]

yeah

What's your opinion about Assail?

[hardy raft]

assail both works and gains crit from it

[round gull]

And do you think it's a good ability?

[hardy raft]

way faster than smite on killing enemies, free bullets every 2 seconds to deal with long range stuff, auto-im for moatly head

[rigid sky]

It's balanced with the others

[hardy raft]

its a great ability

[rigid sky]

It's great with DD

[round gull]

yeah

I have problems with it at perill generation

[hardy raft]

psyker blitz tehd to generate lot of peril

[round gull]

yeah ik

[rigid sky]

You just gotta get used to the peril

[round gull]

however i know more or less the amount of perill BR will generate

[rigid sky]

Weave in some quells when you can if you start to get high

Assails are at base 10 LMB or 25 RMB

[round gull]

ohhh

good good

[rigid sky]

You can shit out 10 assails from 0 peril

They complement gunker beautifully

[round gull]

Btw,any good ability for Assail?Maybe the dome?

[rigid sky]

Base it on your staff or gun more

If I take gun I go Scrier's

[round gull]

[rigid sky]

If I take voidstrike I take shriek

Otherwise i don't take assail anyway personally

Just my own builds

[narrow herald]

I hate how Assail is on the right side of the tree, like I use no builds with it 😔

[round gull]

lol

[rigid sky]

The only real loss from taking Assail is Psy Aura

Which is kinda big

But you can still get Shriek

[narrow herald]

Yeah but u loose access to prob the 2 best nodes in the entire tree 😭

[rigid sky]

Which other one?

It's only psy aura I thought

[upper sun]

fuck me how hard is it to stop BoN fire damage

[rigid sky]

You can't get the elite damage aura either but ain't nobody give no fucks about that

[round gull]

Should I use it?I use it to safe my ass from perill

[rigid sky]

Well yes but not for that

It bridges you to Creeping Flames

[spice veldt]

on the other hand, right side has malefic momentum

[rigid sky]

Aka the entire reason to take Shriek in the first place

Never take Shriek without Creeping Flames

It is shit

But Creeping Flames might be the overall strongest offensive ability in the game

[round gull]

Maybe I have too much nodes used here

[rigid sky]

The top of the tree is great

Skip battle meditation unless you are EP smite or Scrier's

[round gull]

oh oki

[rigid sky]

Get Mettle unless you are rending shockwave Trauma

And get Perilous Combustion

Consider dropping Warp Replenishment

Warp Expenditure maybe

Can't remember the name

Middle right toughness gen node

Peril goes up = toughness goes up one

[round gull]

yeah

[rigid sky]

It is decent but I consider it a luxury node

I take it if I have points to spare

[round gull]

I would like to get this node(I'm using assail)

[rigid sky]

But the other stuff at the top is borderline essential

[rigid sky]

Which ranged weapon?

[round gull]

void

[rigid sky]

I wouldn't bother seriously

[upper sun]

does solidity even work with blitz quelling or just staves?

[rigid sky]

Take Disrupt Destiny and save the 3 points on the left leg

[round gull]

i have them

[hardy raft]

both

real good

[round gull]

do i put the middle one?

[rigid sky]

No

[hardy raft]

the you can move while venting also works with blitzes

[rigid sky]

EP assail is ok

[round gull]

oh i confused

[hardy raft]

i use both on ep smite

[round gull]

XD

[rigid sky]

But you haven't lived until you have seen the power of Disrupt Destiny voidstrike

[round gull]

DD is also good yeah

[rigid sky]

How would you like to oneshot crushers

This power can be yours today

[round gull]

WHAT?

REALLY?

[hardy raft]

DD is kinda op now and only gets sleeped on cause noone really plays gunpsyker

[rigid sky]

I shit you not

[hardy raft]

speaking of we should get more staffs

[rigid sky]

It also boosts Assail hugely

Almost to EP level

[round gull]

yeeeeee we need

[rigid sky]

On top of megaboosting your voidstrike and your melee

Ask your librarian if Disrupt Destiny is right for you

[round gull]

Which nodes?

[rigid sky]

Disrupt Destiny is not responsible for delusions of grandeur, suicidal behaviour chasing after blue Bois, or extreme megalomania

Take Lingering influence

Optionally take the weakspot gives triple stacks

[round gull]

And Curel fortune?

[rigid sky]

Skip

It's the middle shitty peril reduction node right

It is very weak

[round gull]

oh

[hardy raft]

always always take lingering

[rigid sky]

But take lingering unless you hate yourself

[thorn cedar]

no

[round gull]

lol

[hardy raft]

tbh

[rigid sky]

It is miserable without it

[thorn cedar]

perfectionist or bust

[hardy raft]

in theorey you can run the 4 second

[thorn cedar]

you ride blue til u die

[rigid sky]

Remember if you have peril issues you always have Shriek

[hardy raft]

and it'd be actually high risk high reward gameplay

[round gull]

What about this?

[hardy raft]

or use lingering and low risk high reward

[thorn cedar]

ogryn packs demolishing your team? dgaf cuz they aint blu, gl fellas

[hardy raft]

CF must

[rigid sky]

Consider changing to Perfectionist once you get used to the power of z
Lingering

[hardy raft]

extends your decay from 10->30

[round gull]

yeah,I thought so

[rigid sky]

Remember it takes 12s to lose a weakspot kill with perfectionist

30s with lingering

Lingering will do you much better on bosses

And it is already enough to one shot crushers

You want Carapace, Surge and Warp Nexus on your staff

I forget which other perk

Maybe maniac

[hardy raft]

i want a staff that looks like a gun, i wodner if 40k has those
psylencers are for GK so doesnt count

[rigid sky]

Maybe unyielding

[round gull]

Any suggestion?

[rigid sky]

Don't skip perilous combustion

It is pretty good

[round gull]

taken

You are right

I have 1 point left

[rigid sky]

How many points are left

Maybe EE

Empathic Evasion or whatever it's called

[round gull]

yeah

[rigid sky]

Assail crits a lot and it saves you a lot of damage

[round gull]

makes sense

[rigid sky]

And boom you have the exact copy of my void build lol

[round gull]

and what melee weapon?I'm between Illisi and Deimos

[rigid sky]

I take Illisi

[round gull]

lmao

[rigid sky]

Because my void kills anything I would use a Deimos or DS4 on

But is vulnerable to enemies going wide

[round gull]

yeah

Any blessing?

[rigid sky]

Also the reason why I take Shriek and assail

[round gull]

I'm lost with psyker blessings

[rigid sky]

Mine is slaughterer Bloodthirsty but that usually gets boos lol

Slaughterer uncanny probably best

But I can't help liking Bloodthirsty on it

Lovely mettle/DD synergies

And EE

Anyway sleepy time

Murder some heretics

[round gull]

yeee

Thanks btw 😄

(im sorry)

[upper sun]

I DID IT

I FINALLY HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE CLUTCH PENANCE BEING BUGGED

[hearty oak]

The wha

[upper sun]

rescue 3 people

[hearty oak]

There's a penance for it?

[upper sun]

ye finish a mission after rescuing 3 people from captivity

im esp pissed at that one because i had help with it, i cheesed it once with bots and i did it organically once

never got it

[hearty oak]

What's it called?

[radiant frigate]

force greatsword when?

[radiant frigate]

has to be 3 different people :)))

made all the more difficult because if you clutch people immediately go for the other pickups when you free them

it is a stupid penance

[stuck marsh]

yoo would anyone have some good combat knife 6 psyker gameplay to share? i'm sucking using the knife and would love to see how its suppose to be done

[wind spruce]

https://youtu.be/d5K_aXhA2Vc?si=9PEtdUhxhsJFtePU

Wasn't my best game but should still show you how to use it

[stuck marsh]

awesome thank you!!

[potent echo]

psyker weapon

now!!

[round gull]

Nah man assail is shit

[stuck marsh]

whats the mod that shows your current crit chance?

[round gull]

I hate assail :[

[potent echo]

assail will buy you toilet paper but it wont wipe your ass

[marble crater]

Assail is great

[rigid sky]

Assail's great but it's gotta be used appropriately

you usually swap between it and your other shit rapidly

it lets you use ranged attacks on the move a lot better than any other Psyker option

[potent echo]

it wont kill horde thats in your face attacking you, chuck them before they reach you, or swap to melee

[wind spruce]

show crit chance (yes, literally)

[wind spruce]

with well timed quick swaps you can use assail while you're in melee

weave it in between attacks

[potent echo]

yea thats how you use it because assail takes maybe 0.8seconds before they u-turn and hit the horde in your face, so it doesnt let you ignore meleeing

[spice veldt]

split your dodge/jump keybind into separate keys and spam dodge

[signal sluice]

Most of your best toughness Regen talents are at the very top of the tree, above the grenades. If you find yourself constantly generating and quelling peril then the 2 middle talents help you regen toughness. If you're killing multiple enemies with warp attacks (Purg staff or Void Strike) then the regen 7.5% toughness per Warp Kill is your best toughness regen. If you're using a weapon and build with high crit chance then you go on the right side of the talents for toughness regen and movement speed per critical hit made.

Then you have a 11% - 33% toughness damage reduction versus ranged enemies, based on peril, as a way to counter ranged enemies, along with critical hits make you immune to range attacks for 1 or 2 seconds. Can't remember exactly the number.

that's where I would start on learning how best to remain alive as psyker.

I'd suggest taking the ones that best fit your build, rather than taking all of them.

[potent echo]

use push too, its 360°

[young ridge]

Toughness talents are super neat on psyker, but you will always be pretty squishy, unless blocking

[rigid sky]

I take a lot of the toughness gain talents

And empathic evasion etc

The only one that I usually omit is the middle right one at the top because I can't budget it in, but when I take EP or DD I normally end up taking that too

Similarly I prefer the toughness gain Warp Siphon talent to its peril reduction alternative

We have a multilayer damage avoidance model

But if something breaches through you get chunked

[lusty seal]

What's a good build for voidstaff?

[marble crater]

Assail, Shriek or shield, Disrupt Destiny.
People won't like it, but this is mine

[hearty oak]

It's what I've used on surge before

But then having no psykinetic aura sucked ass

[marble crater]

Yeah not having Psykentic's is sad, but I want a build with Assail

[wind spruce]

I like it

You generate a lot of peril if you assail weave with void so having solidity really helps

[marble crater]

I also like it for a bit of consistency across builds. Can't have the last DD talent, but once you actually reached your max stacks and just need to maintain them it's not that bad, imo.

[wind spruce]

Shriek, void & assail is the best combo available to maintain/gain stacks so it makes sense as a trade off

[plucky flax]

No assail recharge? D:

[marble crater]

No

I use assail less than on gunker, so it's fine with void having infinite ammo you can spam instead

[hearty oak]

Or just dont

[lusty seal]

That helps, thanks

[whole drift]

Heyy, idk if this is the right channel to ask in but I just got the game and I was wondering if anyone has any good tips for how to utilise psykers in the best way possible :)

[lusty seal]

Hey, learning to watch your peril and not blow your own head off helps a lot

[marble crater]

First rule of psyker: don't get hit, because you are made of wet paper. The sooner you are good at melee; dodging, blocking, pushing, the better

[hearty oak]

Try to remember that your blitz are tools for specific jobs and to not main them and be a helpless psyker. Try to be as versatile in your build, 1 weapons for elites/specialists, 1 weapon for hordes and 1 weapon to supplement one or the other.

[whole drift]

Ah so that’s what happens when your get to 100%? Haha haven’t gotten there yet but good to know!

[whole drift]

The blitz are my special abilities, correct? Like the things I can upgrade in my skill tree?

[hearty oak]

Just dont cast anything past 95% as a rule of thumb

[hearty oak]

Yes

[whole drift]

Ohh I haven’t even thought about special weapons for elites and such yet, I gotta look that up and see what’s good

[hearty oak]

Surge is good. Just be mindful of the quick peril buildup

surge staff*

Like brain burst is what you would take if you are lacking high single target DPS and talents that speed it up cause base BB is slow as molasses

[sturdy pasture]

Ok I did a fire build with the flaming abilities on elite kill then brain burst and the fire staff and the ability that makes you have free warp uses

That all comes together to burn everything

[marble crater]

Burn everything is a very nice build

[upper sun]

purge is pretty based ngl

[haughty star]

Surge is a pretty tough call for finished staff

There's not really a dump stat there

[haughty star]

You should almost always be taking perilous combustion no matter the build. One of those talents that's just to strong to justify not running

[regal harness]

whats a good perk and what stat should i focus on Maccabian Mk IV Duelling Sword

nvm i found out

[jovial juniper]

It's

[haughty star]

Uncanny

Always uncanny

The other one is preference but most recommend riposte

I prefer rampage for helping it with hording

Carapace and flak are good stats to run for all purpose or the tried and true flakiak, crit chance and unyielding for a bossing sword

[hearty oak]

I prefer lmb and shift+w

[marble crater]

Maniac and Carapace, my beloved

[warm oasis]

Damn, just tried out the dueling saber for the first time. It’s awesome.

What would the god roll on the Mk 2 of it be?

[marble crater]

A Mk4

[hardy raft]

a mk4

[jovial juniper]

High finesse, high pen, uncanny+riposte/Precog
Cara+ flak iirc
Also the Mk4 is the meta pick

[hardy raft]

cause mk4 strangely has like 50% more damage than mk2 stab

dont ask me why

[jovial juniper]

Mk2 my beloved light spammer

[hardy raft]

mk2 would be great on a zealot

[marble crater]

I use a mk2 on my surge build sometimes, for the horde clear while still having DS mobility

[warm oasis]

Okay, thanks.

[hardy raft]

or a mk5

[marble crater]

But the horde clear is yeah, if you want that just use an illisi

[upper sun]

🤔 is it just me or is shred just as good for hoard clear as rampage?

on ds4 that is

[tiny oracle]

for your question, a godroll atleast to me would be 61% mobillity, 79% cleave damage and rest 80% with flak, maniac/crit chance, uncanny4 and riposte4

[upper sun]

nuh uhhhh carap maniac uncanny shred

[jovial juniper]

Critspot has good damage, not sure how that would go toe to toe with Power

[upper sun]

crits also on lights also help with clear

[tiny oracle]

i dont like shred, falls off so easily

and i have no problem keeping a high uptime on riposte anyway

[upper sun]

if youre just using it for armor then yeah

i think shred is a nice middle ground

[tiny oracle]

thing is, if you stop attacking it falls off, if you miss it falls off

[upper sun]

yeah

[tiny oracle]

especially if you run the perk i forgot the name of that lets you dodge ranged hits on crits

[supple dock]

You have to be too careful with shred ):

[tiny oracle]

with that riposte has basicly 100% uptime when you need it

[supple dock]

I do not think they interact like that

[tiny oracle]

ive seen it do that

[supple dock]

In fact I'm like 85% sure it doesn't

It would be MUCH more widely spoken about here otherwise

[tiny oracle]

it counts as successfully dodging an attack

im 100% sure ive seen it trigger from that

if not the only reason could be that i like sliding around

[supple dock]

I'll test it after this game I'm in

[warm oasis]

Trying it, mk 4 feels really slow

[marble crater]

Slow how?

[tiny oracle]

is by chance the finesse stat different?

that affects attack speed

[warm oasis]

Swings are just slower, fewer in the same time. Can check finesse after this mission

[marble crater]

How are you using it? Primary use of dueling swords are heavy pokes against muties and crushers/maulers

[warm oasis]

Ah, using it for hordes as well

[marble crater]

It's not really a horde weapon, like it's okay. With sciers gaze and DD stacks it's good. But if you want something for hordes then it's very low on the list.
The Mk2 would be better than the Mk4 then, but the Mk2 heavy attacks are bad compared to the Mk4

[warm oasis]

Fair, guessing it’s meant for specials and armored enemies then?

[marble crater]

Pretty much, though most specials are better dealt with at a distance. So muties and armored enemies, and bosses, for that Mk4 is your best option. If you want horde clear then illisi is a pssker's best option

[fringe garden]

Illisi with Uncanny Strike seems universally awesome vs just about anything. Maybe less so vs bosses, I guess

[warm oasis]

Illisi?

[patent wing]

Illisi

[marble crater]

Illisi force sword

[fringe garden]

It's pretty satisfying to tap the special attack and cleave a particularly thick clump of enemies and just decimate them, too.

[warm oasis]

Ah, thanks

[marble crater]

Psyker holy trinity of melee weapons: Illisi, Deimos and DS4

[fringe garden]

I know the psyker guide suggests nexus with either flurry or surge, but I've also been enjoying flurry and transfer peril for spamming tons of blasts. Is that typically seen as subpar? I've got staves with all of the above combinations and can't really decide which I prefer.

[marble crater]

There are some people who enjoy Flurry and Transfer Peril, as long as it works, it works

Typically you want high peril to deal more damage, but I guess it equals out with the more shots you can spam

[rigid sky]

I think with a Transfer staff you can get away with Scrier's Gaze if you want to

that's the older style of Voidstrike anyway

tbh I'd say the essential one is Surge for the funny crusher one-shots

With either Nexus (more crits) or Flurry (you can use True Aim to force crits)

[upper sun]

@marble crater devblog upo

[chrome sphinx]

DEVBLOG

[marble crater]

thanks

[upper sun]

wait

is that middle part a joke

[ripe obsidian]

Do you need +carapace damage to 1-bop crushers?

[rigid sky]

I think so

[ripe obsidian]

Seems like it. I'm doing ~2650 damage with surge in the pskhanium without carapace

[rigid sky]

I run with DD though

so that adds a bunch too

maybe it's not actually even necessary tbh

maybe you can go without surge

idk

[ripe obsidian]

Ah, I don't have DD charged in the pskhanium

[rigid sky]

Yeah, you can't do that without a mod

annoying lol

[ripe obsidian]

So that'd be way more damage

15% base + 30% crit + 37.5% weakpoint. That'd probably do it

[upper sun]

https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/business20/uploads/fatshark/optimized/3X/d/5/d5bec8bc98a5455f1e1a523e9cfcd4aba2a67c98_2_690x388.jpeg

so just to be clear we ALL love getting missions from random people right?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, with 12 stacks of DD and a guaranteed crit, it 1-shots a crusher with 100-200ish damage left over

[edgy heart]

i sure love the focus going on narrative that im going to hear over and over again

surely i wont get bored of it within 2 days

[ripe obsidian]

He's probably one of the random people Sefoni says she senses

[marble crater]

Eh, how often do you actively listen to the current mission dialog?

[edgy heart]

until i get bored

which happens rather quickly

if swagger doesnt ask me to go grab the thermal drill im going to be mad

[chrome sphinx]

almost zero mention of new weapons

[edgy heart]

🛗

[chrome sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/void-hollow-hollow-face-cursed-cry-about-it-gif-22118456

[upper sun]

goofy ahh name tbh

"swagger"

no way GW signed off on that shit

[edgy heart]

commodore brother

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, goofy as hell. I've just spent a lot of time in the Psykhanium lately and heard Sefoni say things like, "There's a secret Magos on Atoma" or "There's someone on Atoma whose mind is shielded, keep them away from Sefoni" or "Melk has secret teams on Atoma, does Grendyl know?"

"there is a psychic blank in Tertium, the only mind she cannot touch."

[warm oasis]

What are the best perks for the Illsi?

[ripe obsidian]

Depends on what you want to do with it

Uncanny Strike/Slaughterer is great for just bashing people with it

Oh, perks, not blessings.

Maniac/Flak is what I use. Crit chance if you're using Blazing Spirit.

[warm oasis]

Blessings as well, was thinking of making a full Soulfire build with it as the melee weapon.

Have one with blazing spirit so thought it may be fun.

[ripe obsidian]

Shred + Blazing spirit for flamesword

[warm oasis]

Alright, thanks. So guessing +5% crit chance for a perk as well?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, if you're trying to get as much fire as possible, you need all the crit

[warm oasis]

Alright, thanks for the advice

[marble crater]

Disclaimer: fire sword is pretty much a meme, don't expect to destroy everything with fire like a purgatus

[fringe garden]

Yeah, there really isn't any way to make blazing spirit noticeable.

On the sword, that is

[upper sun]

ohhh wait the blank one i havent heard that before

[ripe obsidian]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ry2SMU2HMkY&feature=youtu.be

I think it's the last quote in this video

[lethal lagoon]

Psykers don't really have other anti-mutant tools outside of melee, so maniacs is a default perk.

Fire sword is a meme and geniunely terrible.

Slaughterer is the default blessing.

The second option can be uncanny, deflector, shred, etc mostly personal preference.

Make psykers able to turn into demonhosts 10% of the time if they end up going over 100% Parel

[upper sun]

we went through training to make sure that doesnt happen

[haughty star]

Might not look Like it to you but this is peak surge staffing

[lethal lagoon]

Other than elites instead of CDR, that's literally pinned as the Standard Surge build.

And the image name is "orthodoxsurge"

[haughty star]

Oh really? Lmao

That's funny

[lethal lagoon]

Surge doesn't have a lot of variability, it's pretty solved. Unless you have a hardon for wildfire.

[haughty star]

This is just the tooling around I've done on it. My psykers only like level 100

[marble crater]

Arsonists on Atoma?

[haughty star]

Wildfire just isn't good

By the time it do any meaningful damage they already dead lol

[lethal lagoon]

Turn on all healthbars, it's easier to see how it operates.

And like many psyker skills, it scales with enemy density.

Anyways, I don't run it on surge.

Unless I'm doing EP smite

[marble crater]

cries in Xbox

[lethal lagoon]

[tiny oracle]

idk, i dont think i could melt hordes as fast as i currently am doing without wildfire

[haughty star]

I like elite damage cuz it gives surge a bit lower breakpoints

[tiny oracle]

kinda fun to just look at how the damage snowballs as the enemies starts dying

[haughty star]

If you actually test it it's really sad lol

[marble crater]

Wildfire on Surge
Wildfire on Blaze Trauma

[lethal lagoon]

Ehh, if you haven't run all healthbars, you can't say you've tested wildfire

[marble crater]

I haven't, I trust Agent on this one

[lethal lagoon]

agent somehow does absurd amounts of warpfire damage compared to other scoreboards I've seen.

[haughty star]

It's not that it's a bad perk it's just usually giving literally anything up for it doesn't make sense

[lethal lagoon]

Like I've seen a surge board of his where his warpfire is like the same as his surge damage

I don't know how that happens

[haughty star]

Maybe he just shout more than most lol

That shit spreads out fast and is 6 stacks above 90 peril

[ripe obsidian]

83.3% peril

[lethal lagoon]

85 because peril can be shown weirdly.

But yes it's technically 83.3

[haughty star]

I just rid all my builds of wildfire and I've never been happier lol

[lethal lagoon]

Some people just wanna see the world not burn

[tiny oracle]

looking at my last auric maelstrom warpfire is about half my damage and just under half my kills

[haughty star]

That's what perilous and the yelly man talent are for

That doesn't mean wildfire is doing it lol creeping flames is most likely the main proponent there

[marble crater]

He is very pro

[tiny oracle]

oh i vent on cooldown pretty much

[upper sun]

agent is cheating we've established that already

[tiny oracle]

but i definetly notice the snowball if i kill a few with my staff

[marble crater]

Also that yes, he is using mods

[haughty star]

Yeah that'll do it lol. I was just shown that 4 stacks of wildfire is like 1/3 the damage of 6 and it barely ever moves 4

Perilous does a shitload as well. PC is always a must have imo

Elite packs snowball until they all burn. Wildfire won't kill or even hardly hurt anything other than the lightest Ads

I guess it IS technically free DPS which is hard to complain about

[upper sun]

is it just me or do snipers reproduce if you dont kill them fast enough

[honest robin]

its official my second psyker is gonna have a better CIAG than my main one after rolling like 3 of them

oh it just rolled deathspitter 4 on its own

its worth putting elites over maniacs i bet

[tiny oracle]

after rolling tons of ciags on my psyker i leveled up a vet

immediatly after hitting 30 i rolled these

\

[honest robin]

my psyker has 80 dam 72 stopping power 17 stability lol

[tiny oracle]

both on the same character

[honest robin]

im just gonna keep this like this im not sure what do do with the perks

[tiny oracle]

these were also rolled within 5 minutes of eachother

my prefered perks personally are flak unyielding

[honest robin]

yeah im gonna see how this does on ogryns

[shy hull]

your beloved doesn't love you back

[upper sun]

more flak

[tiny oracle]

ciag doesnt really do shit against carapace anyway, does good enough against everything else

i just find bulwarks really annoying so unyielding helps with those

also bosses

[honest robin]

the boss killing is attractive

its great at that

reapers can be problematic too

[tiny oracle]

also basicly everything has flak so always gotta get that

[honest robin]

im just checking TTKs rn

its likely i kill all the maniacs fast enough

[tiny oracle]

personally i would change maniac to unyielding on that, but just try it for yourself and see if you wanna change it'

[honest robin]

im remaking my gunker build because idk what i was on lol. probably penance farming

[tiny oracle]

technicly it already does enough damage so you could get away with 10% elites

that covers reaper, crusher, bulwark, rager, mauler, shotgunner and gunner

[honest robin]

i think its worth it over unyielding from experimenting

[cunning yew]

is purgatus staff capable of hitting weakspots? i think not but i rather make sure

[upper sun]

nope all center mass

[marble crater]

I love losing because someone insists on picking up grims

[lethal lagoon]

What do you need Hp for? Just don't get hit

[upper sun]

vote kick

[upper sun]

had one fucking game were I made it to 20 hp because of double grims

i had to text in chat for people to hurry the fuck up and not chase every groaner

[lethal lagoon]

"text in chat"

[upper sun]

Yes

[supple dock]

[marble crater]

What made it better is that we were 3 psykers and the zealot picked up the first grim, fully died, then picked up the second one

[lethal lagoon]

Okay, I feel like that's partially your fault.

You have a zealot on your team, you have to find the grims first then destroy them.

[marble crater]

True, this is my fault. After the first one I thought maybe he learned his lesson

[ripe obsidian]

TIL while leveling a new character that people ragequit in Malice even more than in Auric Damnation.

It's ragequits all the way down

[marble crater]

[tiny oracle]

had a guy complaining about my lvl 21 ass in regular damnation trying to get carried

ended up outperforming him because creeping flames is op

[marble crater]

Every time I play with a shriek psyker and they don't spam it I die a little on the inside

[tiny oracle]

people get the misconception from warp charges that you have to never use your abillity to keep up the damage buff and peril reduction

i am also guilty of this, but im reformed

[marble crater]

Is it too soon to call warp charges a noob trap, like the Vet shout revive upgrade?
Shriek is so good, you can kill entire gunner groups you didn't even see, you just suddenly see 8 gunners in the kiilfeed

[tiny oracle]

i think it also comes from easier difficulties

they dont throw as many elites at you, so its a little harder to get stacks

[supple dock]

I don't think it's quite a noob trap, but it's definitely not new user friendly

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/im-sorry-do-i-know-you-christina-applegate-jen-harding-dead-to-me-gif-17811424

[supple dock]

lmao

[marble crater]

Fewer elites for stacks is fair I guess

[tiny oracle]

im 100% without fail always top damage and total kills using surge staff shriek spam

its just too good

though how are anyone else supposed to get kills when i kill them before they even turn the corner

[marble crater]

Shriek the group of shotgunners, kill two with surge, everyone burns to death. Beautiful

Back to 6 charges right away as well

[tiny oracle]

yep

also cooldown ready

psykinetics aura ftw

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-more-time-gif-4816107

Me with shriek

[tiny oracle]

other psyker: bruh, are you ok sibling?

its actually kinda scary when you think about it, if you know what the warp even is and we are still edging the shit out of it

[marble crater]

"Of course I am. BUGS BENEATH MY HEEL"

Psykers must be addicted to the warp and they edge to get high

[tiny oracle]

im glad peril dont work like in the rpgs

second you hit critical, oh shit too late, turns into a demonhost

[marble crater]

New mission condition idea

[lethal lagoon]

You start with two grimiores.

And can pick up 4 more eventually dropping to 1 hp

[tiny oracle]

i just cry when i see people misuse smite

it feels like its almost everyone

[marble crater]

I hate grims, they are useless

[tiny oracle]

i like grims if the team is ok with it

i like a challenge

not like health matters to us psykers anyway

100 goes away just as fast as 10 does

had a double grim run on auric with the tox gas modifier and we actually finished it

that was alot of fun, but my head hurt afterwards

[marble crater]

Sure, but why is it always the worst player picking it up?

[tiny oracle]

idk maybe they dont know what the grim does

its not really explained anywhere

i did not know when i first started playing

[marble crater]

By the time you are in auric you should know

[haughty star]

I always be getting like level 40s in auric and my psyker a level 120

[tiny oracle]

is that a mod?

[haughty star]

Scoreboard

Pretty much errbody here running it

[tiny oracle]

i got scoreboard, but still only shows lvl 30

[marble crater]

There is a true level mod

[haughty star]

Ah idk what mods my buddy is running but he sees their actual level

[tiny oracle]

and i guess that only tracks if you have that mod

[marble crater]

Hm?

[tiny oracle]

i mean, how would it track your "true level" when the game doesnt even show it to you

[marble crater]

The game tracks it, just doesn't show you. I did a mission with someone a while back and they mentioned my true level

[tiny oracle]

imma get that and check cuz i have no idea

apparently 30+162

[haughty star]

Yee I don't use mods I just make my buddy stream

If you could only pick one which blessing for illisi, uncanny or slaughterer

[tiny oracle]

i couldnt live without scoreboard

i like numbers go up

also buy untill rating is a lifesaver when rolling for gear

[late sapphire]

i liked vermintide books but darktide books suck ass

[marble crater]

Slaughterer

[late sapphire]

The skulls & idols basically take the role of vermintide books

[marble crater]

Ideally I would want both of them

[haughty star]

Yeah I was just thinking for a brain dead illisi scriers and Columbus build

[edgy heart]

Uhh, we did have vermintide books before skulls and idols were added

Scriptures and grimmoires

[late sapphire]

Which give you money (useless) not better stuff and are in even more random spots

That's what i was trying to convey, the scrips and grims are both worthless and the new stuff is kind of trying to fill in the hole left by old books

[haughty star]

Deflector is kinda nice as a "skill issue" moment crutch

[marble crater]

Yes, I used it for a time and then stopped when I started using Dueling Swords because they don't have deflector and I didn't want to try and block gunner shots with it due to muscle memory or something and then just die like a noob

[hearty oak]

My neurons activating seeing my overkill outpacing my actual

[supple dock]

EGG

that's damage btw

the 666.6

[edgy heart]

Technically money is better stuff, not like ranald was that reliable anyway. His middle finger was a common meme

[late sapphire]

Ranald loved me

And in return, i love ranald

I dunno i felt properly incentivizes to grab books in VT2 to get the high quality chests in DT they're just deco

[edgy heart]

I feel incentivized to grab both in both games cause it makes the gamer harder

That's just me, I don't even care about rewards

[late sapphire]

Makes the gamer harder eh

[edgy heart]

Just a me thing, if yall need a reward good for you

[stiff falcon]

[stiff falcon]

Our psyker is objectively pretty badass. He has remarkable control over his powers

[feral knoll]

What are go to Purg blessings?

[hearty oak]

flurry for sure. Nexus i guess but its so limited on perks to use anyways

[hardy raft]

nexus and flurry

[supple dock]

nexus/flurry blessings, Maniac/Flak/Crit Chance/Unyielding perks

[eager token]

are people asleep at they keyboards tonight

[supple dock]

maybe

[stiff falcon]

What is sleep

[dusk void]

Sleep is for the weak

[jovial juniper]

Then you know where I'll be

[stiff falcon]

Save me from general chat

[lethal lagoon]

On scale of 1 to 10, with the lowest being a 9.7, how much of that anger is directed towards getting trapped

[brittle rose]

how important is warp resist?

i got a staff all 72 but warp res is 36

[visual phoenix]

low warp rez on purg is rly good I must say

Works a lot better in terms of warp cap and vent creep flames

Other staffs 60 is good enough

[rigid sky]

Crit damage pretty sad though

And no +flak

[marble crater]

Update will fix it

[visual phoenix]

25 unyild prob gonna be better at that build
Sadly had to work with 10crit since I spend on that one around 30kk+ ordos

Coping on future crafting revork so I can get sub 5% warp rez

[marble crater]

30kk? 30M?

[visual phoenix]

Indeed

[marble crater]

Nah no way

[visual phoenix]

Schindler list or something

That's like -8m idk

Less I think
Around 3

+flak on purgatus i think you don't rly need it. Flak enemies ether half dead on 11+ soulblaze or you stunlock then from LMB
Bosses and Ogryns is a bit more annoying cuz you can't rly stagger them unless flayer proc or bb

[marble crater]

Almost every enemy you burn with purgatus counts as flak, including maulers. Killing them quicker is always good

[visual phoenix]

True, depends on team comp and personal preference. For me unyild is bis :)

[lethal lagoon]

This is one of those things that's not personal preference.

Flak + unyielding sure.

Unyielding + something else, nah

Soooo many enemies are body flak

It's like saying your personal preference is to only use weapons under 350 base rating. Like I guess that's a preference.

[rigid sky]

Flak crit chance is the way imo

[visual phoenix]

Whould you take flak dmg for ttk increase on type of enemies that can be stunlocked and easily killed with enough soulblaze stacks
Or take unyild for ttk increase on type of enemies that purg cannot stagger and has higher hp pool for dmg over time scaling

Flak is surely good for trauma/surge for break point purpose, purgatus not rly making that much of a diff

[marble crater]

I have flakiac, not by choice. But it helps against dreg ragers and specials mixed in the horde I guess

[spice veldt]

the thing about unyielding is that i'm swapping off on bosses anyways and using other weapons

at least flak will actually see some use whereas unyielding is only useful while building up stacks

[visual phoenix]

Same, you build up to 22 stacks and switch to mele.

Isn't unyild damage scales even after you weapon swap, correct me

[spice veldt]

only the perks on the currently-held weapon are active

DoTs get updated in real time unlike projectiles which do indeed only care about your buffs when they were launched

[marble crater]

What was the change a few patches ago, about perks and weapon swapping?

[spice veldt]

it was specifically about projectiles and pretty much only affected assail in practicality

patch #17

[marble crater]

Thanks, I thought that counted for everything

Or more like I forgot

[visual phoenix]

My bad then, we still have reaper/bulwark

[spice veldt]

yeah though even those i usually stab or just don't think they pop up in enough numbers to warrant unyielding

[vernal blaze]

what now

[visual phoenix]

Idk, personally purg does not having any problems with flak with of without +25. Il try it eventually when il find another low warp rez with flak, don't think itl happen soon

[spice veldt]

it doesn't have a problem

it's just good to kill faster

and that's all that matters

[marble crater]

Now you curse Hadron

Maniac, Unyielding, Uncanny +Slaughterer/Deflector are good for Deimos. Unstable Power as well if you play around it

So you could replace Carapace and Blazing for Maniac and Uncanny on the first one, for example

[rigid sky]

It's just the thing that improves your efficiency the most

All bodyshot auto targeting weapons need flak

Because almost everything has Flak bodies

[dull osprey]

Dats not true in a wider sense the main culprit was zealot knives since multiple blessings could make it cleave through a full horde which was more funny than useful but still

The super piercing knife which could 1shot 1 side of a gunner patrol in line xD

[spice veldt]

it still works on zealot knives

the knife railgun dream is still real

because you're holding out your shotgun when you throw the knives

[dull osprey]

Only with stealth now and it still counts as bug

[spice veldt]

it's p much always been a bug

[dull osprey]

Well they didnt fix loner not disabling base aura either

Assume they just forgot shotguns exist

[vernal blaze]

shut up and keep needing to two tap lightly armored enemies with a shotgun at close range

[spice veldt]

anyways, you are obviously very wrong https://streamable.com/pg7mim

it gets annoying when people just read a patch note and makes assumptions about how it works instead of, you know, just easily checking the meatgrinder to see if it still works

knife railgun is still a thing

it still works exactly like before

nothing about it has been changed

like i said

basically only assail has been practically affected by it

[dull osprey]

......

k and you realistically use piety for knives

stealth or chastice guarantees the crit

without it fishing for 1 in a 1000 crits to actually hit multiple gunners is sorry but unrealistic

[spice veldt]

whatchu mean

my point wasn't to argue about it being a viable build

my point was that it works like before

AKA, the knives still benefit from scattershot

you dingus

why are you shifting the argument away into something else and STILL being wrong

just shut up

at least try to be correct

[dull osprey]

omg what is the point of stuff which are theoretically possible but you cant pull it off ingame

[spice veldt]

what do you mean you can't pull it off

[dull osprey]

thats like saying thammer is the best wep cuz you can pinpoint hit every elite with the special attack inside the throng of mobs

[spice veldt]

scattershot alone is 60% crit chance

what miracle shit do you need

shoot at a clump of enemies and just keep your stacks and then go ham with throwing knives

and once again, you are arguing about an entirely different thing altogether

and are STILL wrong even though i literally told you about scattershot still working with throwing knives

[dull osprey]

its not like it wasnt me who brought that up but nvm

[spice veldt]

mf you brought it up

you are literally the one who remarked about manstopper not working with throwing knives anymore

[dull osprey]

yes it works even without guarantee crits but u not gonna crit fish with knives mid fight thats unrealistic

[spice veldt]

why do you need to do it mid fight

just stack scattershot before the fight

are you stupid

[lunar hollow]

scattershot just requires you to hit multiple enemies

[dull osprey]

~_~

[lunar hollow]

you can also do it on revolver with surgical (although at this point you're abusing hand-cannon for crusher one shots)

[spice veldt]

scattershot doesn't drop when throwing knives crit

you only lose stacks if you shoot your shotgun

[dull osprey]

oooo wait a second thought it consumed the buff on throw

[spice veldt]

sigh

[dull osprey]

but doesnt make the knife crit still

[spice veldt]

yeah and i don't care about whether the railgun knife build is good

why do you keep implying that's been my argument

[dull osprey]

idk charging into a horde and throwing 2-3 knives while charging for cleave is more benefical than just throwing it randomly

[spice veldt]

my argument thus far has been that the projectile change has not affected how the zealot railgun build functioned

and then you keep talking about the viability of the railgun build

which i do not care about

and you consistently keep saying wrong shit about

just shut up

[dull osprey]

k mr my bad you are 100% correct it sitll works mea culpa

[spice veldt]

also i'm not sure if you still have a misunderstanding, but scattershot still applies to knife

and i'll even go through the trouble of recording something without piety just for you

just so that other people don't believe the stupid and wrong shit you're saying

[dull osprey]

yeah im glad that 0.000001% players who'll ever use shotgun knife cheese will sleep well after this epsecially this is an ackowledged bug waiting to be fixed

[spice veldt]

yeah and i'm one of the people who would like it to be fixed

i also don't run this build

my only gripe is not with the build but with the fact that you're just saying wrong stuff for the sake of your own arguments

for no reason at all

how you gon invent facts out of thin air for a build that only 0.000001% of players run

anyhow, here's the tknife critting a lot w/o piety
i wonder where it got its crit chance from https://streamable.com/xmu7tc

[hearty oak]

blazing piety? Shotguns? Psyker doesnt have neither of those

[upper sun]

this is psyker and zealot chat

[hearty oak]

the better zealot chat

[spice veldt]

zealot chat #2

[hardy raft]

servitor chat

[upper sun]

zealot chat is for other games

psyker chat is for the only two classes in the game

[hearty oak]

The chat waiting for the next class

[devout sluice]

Where is the techpriest chat

[upper sun]

its between ratling and ad sis channels

[rigid sky]

Zealot chat is ironically discussing Duelling swords atm

[dull osprey]

Every channel is zealot channel unless emprah says so

[hardy raft]

even ogryn can be a zealot

(gives throwing knife)

[marble crater]

I wonder how lights out will look on the new map

[brazen rampart]

Does perilous combustion stack with wildfire? Like, if there's a handful of ragers, I kill one and apply 3 stacks of soulblaze with perilous combustion, then kill another; does it apply 3 stacks of soulblaze and then another 3 from wildfire? Not exactly sure how the math adds up.

[hardy raft]

lights out hourglass when

[hardy raft]

wildfire spreads the soulblaze stack to nearby enemies, it does not add up

[marble crater]

Wait, are there no lights out hourglass missions?

[hardy raft]

havent seen one

[marble crater]

[hardy raft]

only mission-wide modifier ive seen was tox-gas

not even the what was it cloud one

[brazen rampart]

So wildfire basically only exists to kill trash after dealing with an elite/specialist... sad.

[hardy raft]

if it did it'd be quite popular and possibly op since any stack of soulblaze can stack up to 4 constantly

wildfire helps a bit

but like

better off just combustion stack

faster and easier

and its in more favorable position as well

[brazen rampart]

The issue is getting soulblaze to begin with.

[hardy raft]

with psyker its p easy

[brazen rampart]

It leaves you either forced to use pc or a blaze staff.

[hardy raft]

whole left tree is dedicated to it afterall(well, the ult anyway)

[marble crater]

Why wouldn't PC and wildfire stack though? The second rager would get the wildfire from the first rager and then more stacks from PC, no?

[brazen rampart]

Unless you use shriek or that one blessing that applies soulblaze on crit.

[hardy raft]

oh yeah im dumb then it'd stack

i think?

[marble crater]

No idea, can probably test in the meatgrinder

[brazen rampart]

It says on wildfire that it spreads up to 4 stacks but no more than that and it can't get more stacks than the dying enemy had.

[hardy raft]

it basically spreads the soulblaze stacks it had

[brazen rampart]

But I figure the game tracks wildfire and pc separately.

[marble crater]

So if PC applies before wildfire then it wouldn't work?

[brazen rampart]

That's the million dollar question.

If pc applies first then wildfire is worthless as a talent unless you're bad at killing trash.

[hardy raft]

but it cannot spread more than 4 stacks(i.e. if enemy with soulblaze 15 stack died, it only spread 4) and if the nearby enemy has more stacks than the applied stack(your 3 stack enemy kill does not maek it add up the nearby enemy that has 3 stacks up to 4, i believe

[brazen rampart]

But if wildfire applies first then it's actually going to be good because it would spread up to 7 stacks with pc.

[hardy raft]

i dont think ive seen 7 stacks tbh

[brazen rampart]

I mean, that's just how the math would add up.

[marble crater]

On a single enemy, the wildfire stacks are shared among all the enemies around the target

[brazen rampart]

4 max from wildfire and pc stacks another 3.

But again this is assuming that wildfire applies before pc.

[hardy raft]

purely cause eiter if you run PC/shriek you already have more means to achieve more than 3 stacks of soulblaze and if you purely use gun and use PC there is no way for you to have a few stacks on a specific enemy for the purpose of testing

most of the options you have are just AoE options so

[brazen rampart]

I guess I'll just hang onto wildfire then.

It makes up for my duelling sword not killing crowds quickly.

[spice veldt]

to expand on this, if there are 4 enemies around, then wildfire will give each enemy only 1 stack

[hardy raft]

wait what

that sounds suckish even more

🤔

[marble crater]

Wildfire is not great, no, but it's better the less soulblaze you have, kinda?

I only use it on blaze trauma

[hardy raft]

i think i have one on smite EP build

[marble crater]

I also have no mods, so I have no evidence for it doing a good job or not

[brazen rampart]

Oh, then it's just straight up garbage on a non dedicated soulblaze build.

[supple dock]

You misunderstand. I'm angry at everything. Always. All the time.

[marble crater]

Khorne moment

[rigid sky]

Also bad on purgatus

Better for your other sources really

Trauma, Shriek, PC

[brazen rampart]

So only crit on force swords and ability sources.

Depressing.

[rigid sky]

But the pattern is poor

[rigid sky]

Force sword blazing spirit is terrible

But Trauma blazing spirit is awesome

[brazen rampart]

Eh, I feel like force sword blazing spirit would be good on a scrier illisi setup.

[rigid sky]

You already kill stuff you crit tbh

[brazen rampart]

Though, I'm assuming it only applies soulblaze to the first target.

[rigid sky]

You do better with slaughterer uncanny etc

[marble crater]

Scrier illisi kills everything, there will be nothing to light on fire

[rigid sky]

Trauma is great with it because of how it interacts with trauma

How their aoe damage shape is with and without it

[brazen rampart]

So its just a huge meme then.

[marble crater]

Blaze sword? Yes

[brazen rampart]

Wish some blessings weren't bad.

Gonna make an illisi meme setup of bloodthirsty and blazing spirit.

[marble crater]

Maybe the crafting update will rebalance some of the blessings we have, who knows. Would be the perfect time for a big balance patch

[brazen rampart]

On demand crits in hordes just straight up mowing everything down.

[rigid sky]

Get 0% on all damage stats

So stuff actually catches fire

[brazen rampart]

Be the first man to actually have a 0 roll on a weapon.

[rigid sky]

I have Shredder Bloodthirsty ATM as well

Uh

Slaughterer bloodthirsty

[zinc phoenix]

I tried blaze illsi with blaze trauma

[rigid sky]

Sorry have bad brain day

[zinc phoenix]

Not a good combo

[rigid sky]

Imo you want a single target melee with that anyway

Deimos or ds4

Anything you'd wanna illisi can just be traumad

[radiant frigate]

this is why i do not like trauma

[brazen rampart]

Trauma is the explosive staff, right?

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[rigid sky]

Yep

Very annoying staff to build

[radiant frigate]

summon circle make booms

[rigid sky]

But when you get there it's awesome

[brazen rampart]

I am intentionally avoiding using it because it's icky.

[radiant frigate]

i am avoiding it because i want to play sword wizard and not wizard wizard

[rigid sky]

One day you will try it again out of curiosity

[brazen rampart]

Every psyker I've met that has used one thinks they are, in fact, John Darktide, but they instantly die and blame it on their team.

[rigid sky]

And then it will just click

My trauma build is super tank actually

Tanky

[brazen rampart]

Nah I have a super good voidstrike staff. I don't need trauma.

[rigid sky]

For psyker standards

I run everything tbh

I love all the psyker styles

[brazen rampart]

Anything that's worth trauma-ing is worth pressing c on and going ham with my sword.

[rigid sky]

Keeps things interesting

[brazen rampart]

And anything my sword can't reach, my voidstrike can.

[rigid sky]

Typically the weakness with that build is bosses

Take DD if you go voidstrike btw

Funny crusher one shots

[brazen rampart]

Dd?

Not familiar with the shorthand.

[rigid sky]

Disrupt Destiny

[brazen rampart]

Oh yeah ofc.

I have it on a scrier disrupt destiny setup with a deimos sword.

[rigid sky]

Crushers die in one ranged attack it's crazy

I'm not ballsy enough to go staff scriers lol

I just take shriek

[brazen rampart]

It's even funnier because it's a crit every time I pull out the staff.

I don't remember the talent but once you get 5 weak spot hits your next ranged attack is a guaranteed crit.

So you whip out that voidstrike staff and cleave through 6 crushers.

[marble crater]

True aim

[brazen rampart]

As for bosses though, that's what brain burst is for.

[rigid sky]

Yeah, you can go Surge flurry with that

Yep that works

[brazen rampart]

I don't use assail or smite on that setup.

[rigid sky]

My trauma is EP so I get my boss damage that way too

But my void uses assail

Maybe I should go rupture next time for the boss damage specifically

[brazen rampart]

It's also useful to peek gunners with.

Peek, lock, step back behind cover, crunch the brain, repeat.

[rigid sky]

Assail does that well too

It's just the bosses thing for me mostly

[brazen rampart]

Not nearly as efficiently.

[rigid sky]

It's pretty efficient with DD

[brazen rampart]

Assail is good for a pseudo suppression against gunners if you're far away, that's about it.

Anyway, running voidstrike with scriers aint a terrible idea. You use the staff when scriers is on cooldown and your sword when it isn't.

Voidstrike is surprisingly good at horde clearing.

[rigid sky]

Can do it with very low power blasts

Especially shines in corridors

[supple dock]

I have seen this. it happens mega rarely

[hearty oak]

On the same level as a 550 rare

[zinc phoenix]

🤷‍♀️ it’s challenging to use but once you learn the way of it you can do crazy things

[marble crater]

Hadron is about to do unspeakable things to this Deimos

[brazen rampart]

I pray for you.

[upper sun]

🙏

EMPEROR GUIDE HIS HAND

wow that was 30 minutes ago

i think he finally broke

[lusty seal]

Hadron claims another victim

Can MK 4 stagger a crusher before it pancakes you?

[upper sun]

I think on weakspot hits

but i only run mk4 with trauma so thats not an issue
