generally one of the most free weapons nowdays

that said the blessing pool was shortlived i guess

Wonder how broken re-release of star wars battlefront is doing

[near wyvern]

I bought it pre release out of nostalgia but haven't dared to even download the game yet

[hearty oak]

Probably for the best.

[dense peak]

Can the blaze sword get something like power cycler like on the power sword (more charged hits per charge)

[hearty oak]

Boy id love it. But people would say "Wow now every other blessing is useless" or "The other melee weapons are less likely to be picked now"

Or my personal favorite "Power creep"

[upper sun]

we dragged a medicae powercell to the end event

sadly tho we didnt get the powercell event

[hardy raft]

should make the blessing give less special damage but swings up to 3 times

[hearty oak]

Prob me. Cause i like terrifying the masses while they are getting cooked

[dawn orchid]

TB isn't helping you with that, the vast majority of enemies are outright immune

The only melee enemy that's kinda affected is the groaner, which barely flinches from it

Only shooters, gunners, and reapers are affected

How good is unyielding damage?

[ripe obsidian]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1dqf2dg/its_not_just_in_your_head_everything_actually_is/

Okay, so I'm not delusional. I didn't notice the rager change, but I absolutely noticed shooters/stalkers ruining my day more often. Also significantly more ranged enemies

[upper sun]

yes ragers are faster and gunners are more accurate

i would rather they make the game harder after the crafting update TBH

[ripe obsidian]

I have swapped more gunner resist onto my curios. I've walked around a couple corners only to get stunlocked and massacred by a dozen gunners with twenty stalkers as support

Also bombers, both tox and normal, seem to be lobbing way more grenades

[dawn orchid]

It seems to cause something other than suppression given it can do it on melee iirc

Holy recon is so back now. My god i just had a vet squad and myself all using recons and made the maelstrom into a lightshow. And it didnt feel awful either!

[analog agate]

I knew it felt off. When I was doing vet with rashad I can usually push attack ragers to get them stunned. Not so a few days ago. I got my shit wrecked

uhmmm ok bb go back to fortnite

@wet quiver tell me now which is the best blitz and do it within 5 sentences

go

now, quick quick quick

[near wyvern]

It's completely up to you, one of the perks to +maniacs. I would swap the special damage to +maniacs since thats all you need against the specials

[near wyvern]

The best blitz is the one that fixes a weakness in your build. This is the second sentence. This is the third sentence. This is the fourth sentence. This is the final and fifth sentence.

Thank you for coming to this TED talk.

[upbeat schooner]

I think smite fixes a weakness, and I challenge you on your argument that you believe it can't, in that case.

[spice veldt]

the other stuff is just stagger

bruisers and whatnot are easily staggered

otherwise, it's just suppression & stagger

Chasm is, imo, the hardest map in the game

Shooter Changes

Scab Shooters now have a tighter shot spread, making them more threatening at range. While they still have ranged damage falloff, they will be more consistent in how they hit players at range.

Archivum Sungondese

[near wyvern]

Bolt pistol was linked to you, double barrel shotgun is an underperformer.

One thing I don't mention about the bolt pistol in the video is that the legal proximity blessing for the bolt pistol is bugged and only increases the on kill explosion radius, it does nothing else.

[supple dock]

pistol bad, smaul very good, shotgun is eh, pickaxe has a lot of contrasting opinions but overall people seem to like it

[next pine]

Someone get the courts on this. We need to sue.

[ornate hamlet]

can someone give a brief explanation on how to use assail

[spice veldt]

spam it or weave it in as you farm malefic and true aim stacks

[supple dock]

lmb homes in on targets you point near/around/towards, RMB allows you to throw the shard deliberately with more damage for a higher peril cost

[jovial juniper]

10 each shadd
20 each aimed

[supple dock]

You can use it vs hordes, gunner/shotgunner packs, and most importantly the handful of shooters that are taking potshots at you

assail eats shooters

[ornate hamlet]

im using it for the penance lols

im a bb user at heart

[near wyvern]

Panic: LMB spam
Build peril: 2-3 LMB into one RMB
Hit that sniper or gunner far away: RMB

To hit specialists and elites mixed in horde jump while you throw and look slightly above the horde. Elites and specials have a taller model so the darts lock on to their heads like a magnet.

[ornate hamlet]

every crash report comment i make ^

[dense valley]

bruuh they blocked the cheese place in the carnival last aprt

[analog agate]

Also blocked best place in both events in smelter complex

[marble crater]

They did, but was it really chessing? It's a normal part of the map you could access without doing anything special

[dense valley]

where tf we supposed to defend now

like that place is a literal death trap lol

[marble crater]

No idea, I'm still trying to defend against crashing all the time

[dense valley]

same lol and desync

[analog agate]

My guess would be where people originally tried. Near the health station/start up

[dense valley]

the true level mod might be the culprit i disabled it and havent crashed since

[potent echo]

hello guys

assail + puncture

[ripe obsidian]

Fatshark has a weird idea that holdout events should involve running in circles rather than holding a position

[ornate hamlet]

i read that rending applies to unyielding is this real and true

[carmine bane]

rip to the psyker and any chance of looking cool and getting the helmet also

[dense valley]

I mean to be fair that spot was fuccin op lol

like its a choke point even near the rescue spot the most risky part is prolly the part when u gotta light the flare

[ripe obsidian]

Agreed. But I don't want every end event to be as hellish as Chasm Logistratum.

Having something like defensibility is nice

[hollow current]

crashes or getting disconnected?

[dense valley]

both fam

[hollow current]

I don't crash but the disconnects are driving me towards peril maxxing

[radiant frigate]

limitless!

exquisite!

[hearty dagger]

Hard to believe some people genuinely have that as a playstyle

[jaunty current]

which ones the smite penance again?

[hearty dagger]

It's to kill like 2k enemies with smite

[radiant frigate]

or rather, to have 2.5k enemies killed while they are being smiterized

can be from teammates blasting them too

[jaunty current]

i like smite, its fun to throw the unwashed masses of off ledges

[ornate hamlet]

2.5k enemies killed with smite, teammate kills also count

[jaunty current]

lethal jazz hands

[radiant frigate]

EP smite is honestly insane

enter room -> smite -> shriek -> continue smiting -> room cleared :)

[jaunty current]

i run smite bubble EP

[radiant frigate]

i think bubble is only useful in sniper gauntlet

[jaunty current]

the shooters have been buffed

[next pine]

Force wall is always welcome

[ornate hamlet]

why cant i collect it????

[radiant frigate]

perhaps not so skilled in psykhana after all

[ornate hamlet]

real

[next pine]

Imagine thinking you're skilled in psykhana

[jaunty current]

also bubble stops beast of nurgle slime, trapper nets, flamers, kinda stops bombers a bit

very useful

[next pine]

Enhanced wall stops muties too

[radiant frigate]

shriek-induced premature death syndrome usually stops those too

except bonbon

i respect the bonbon denial pick

[jaunty current]

youre allowed to quell peril manually you know

[radiant frigate]

i usually just spam headsplosion on bonbon

[radiant frigate]

i am aware but when i run shriek i rarely want to

the desire to apply 6 stacks of soulblaze is high

and my peril generation is not

[jaunty current]

with smite head splode isnt really a problem anyway, bc once you reach max peril you auto reduce peril(it might be a talent i have idk if thats base)

[marble crater]

It's normal, it takes some effort to blow yourself up with smite

[radiant frigate]

no i mean i just spam brain burst on bonbon

that is what i mean by headsplosion

[jaunty current]

oh i only really use smite, i like it more than brain burst and assail is just no

[haughty star]

The shriek isn't about the cooldown man lol

It is absolutely bonkers damage

Literal hordes of enemies just melt under its pressure

Honestly voc aside probably the most op ability in the game

[next pine]

I like using it in a pyromaniac build with soul blaze and the fire staff

[jaunty current]

with smite i can melt hordes(slower) but i can also throw them around a bit and toss them off ledges

[haughty star]

It goes well with anything is the problem

[jaunty current]

i find smite more fun to play

[haughty star]

You can use shriek with smite

[jaunty current]

with bubble shield bc gunners hurt my feels

[next pine]

Full Raiden with smite/lightning staff plus empowered psionicz

[haughty star]

I don't do surge with empowered

[marble crater]

Shhhh

[haughty star]

Too light on damage/peril heavy. Surge demands WS

[ornate hamlet]

anyone here actually use m2 on brainburst

[haughty star]

I like using bubble, ds4, and rending trauma with BB

But no I don't use m2 idfk what it does even

[marble crater]

Sometimes, but rarely

[jaunty current]

why would you brain burst m2?

[marble crater]

Pre charging

[haughty star]

Eh

[jovial juniper]

Yeah, usually when you hear a spawn stinger

[haughty star]

That's what the perk is for

[jaunty current]

pick your targets better or something idk

[marble crater]

If you hear a special but you are around the corner already

[haughty star]

Eh Tru

[jaunty current]

you got a dodge key youll be ight

[marble crater]

It looks cool when everyone heard it and looks at the corner and you kill it before the others can shoot

[jaunty current]

like the dopamine of boss hunter zealot?

[marble crater]

Kind of, yes

[ornate hamlet]

i primarily use bb as a boss nuke

[sacred crane]

worst psyker node? (you cant say unlucky for some)

[jaunty current]

scriers gaze

[ornate hamlet]

that brainburst one

the random bb

is terrible

[jaunty current]

why

[ornate hamlet]

if you cant tell why i dont know how to help you

also im in game

[jaunty current]

funny head boom

[marble crater]

Unlucky for some

[marble crater]

Because most of the time it hits a trash mob and it also has a cooldown and it doesn't actually change anything about BB itself

[jaunty current]

its a brain you dont have to manually burst

by sword or blitz

[marble crater]

It's useless, if you attack a horde with a sword that poxwalker will die anyway

If it only worked on elites and specials it would be better, but still not great

[sacred crane]

siblings send him to the black ship

[jaunty current]

mine usually gets specifically shotgunners

what self respecting psyker uses a gun?

you have mind powers, you dont need a wand

[analog agate]

It is a remnant of when it was actually useful. They need to change it.

[jaunty current]

scriers gaze is a waste of talent tree space

[patent steeple]

I feel like you are just trolling to gain attention, and have unfortunately succeeded.

[jaunty current]

yup, but i do think scriers gaze is the least useful of the three abilities

[patent steeple]

I agree with this. I think the OG psyker talent lineup's "enemies hit by BB take more damage from all sources" talent should replace Flayer.

[jaunty current]

bubble and angst are much more useful than sudden bullet hose

[patent steeple]

useful? maybe, but it completely depends on how aggressive you wanna play as psyker (bubble is mostly good for only mitigating the danger from gunner spam and maybe getting some toughness regen, while shriek is good for getting out of a bad situation if used right or just clearing crowds).

Gaze is just more fun, and if even I, a person who doesn't know how to have fun in games anymore, can find gun psyker fun, then so can you.

[dense valley]

I actually find flayer quite useful on purge staff lol

random rager 1 shot is nice i guess

[jaunty current]

bubble blocks beast of nurgle slime, flamers, and trappers, dont forget that

[robust wadi]

Is anyone willing to help me do perilous focus penance?

[jaunty current]

bubble can completely invalidate big slug boi's intestinal dysfunction

[ornate hamlet]

am i reading reddit rn

[patent steeple]

those are nowhere near as common as gunner spam in my experience

[patent steeple]

that is a good question, one that even I am starting to ask myself now that you mentioned it...

[jaunty current]

ive been getting more flamers than usual recently, but its still useful for both gunners and flamers

and the trapper blocking can help if you dont see them coming

[analog agate]

With scriers you can use a columnus. Which trounces bubble for what you are talking about

[hearty dagger]

Ngl i feel like flayer and scrier's could be changed like
Flayer => Mercy: If a special or elite takes damage from you and has enough HP to die from a brain burst, they get brain bursted. X cooldown (Maybe 5 seconds?)
Scrier's Gaze buff: Instead of TDR which doesn't help considering how squishy psyker is, always treat ranged damage as if you were dodging. Lean more into that whole "seeing the future" angle it has.

[patent steeple]

I need to look up what "trounces" means...

[jaunty current]

whats a columnus

[patent steeple]

the best gun for psyker! (the mk5 infantry autogun)

[analog agate]

To heavily beat

[jaunty current]

a gun doesnt really stop slug slime tho

[tired estuary]

do we need to just have a pin of ciag weakspot dmg on boss with scriers

[analog agate]

Uugh, yeah you are trolling.

[jaunty current]

you still have the possibility of getting eated

[robust wadi]

Does the perilous focus penance award immediately? Or will you just find out after the match?

Whenever I press tab in-game the progress is 0/40

[marble crater]

The sciers one? Should pop immediately in the game

Mine did at least

[robust wadi]

Yeah

Do you have any map, difficulty, and special condition recommendations for that penance?

[robust wadi]

Did you need to win the match to get the penance? Or is it ok if you get the notif then lose?

[analog agate]

Did it with purg staff and scriers. I was getting 37 or 38 so often without it. Boom. First try with purg

[marble crater]

It's fine if you lose

I did it during the escape of Hab Dreyko with a gun and assail, beginning of the first carnival map and illisi should be good though

[misty terrace]

Can this be salvaged?

I was thinking swap out run n gun for something more useful and the +2 stamina

[marble crater]

You have 0/4 of the things you ideally want

[misty terrace]

Yeah I know

[robust wadi]

thank you

[misty terrace]

Fucking hadron

I'm doing a crit build so at least crit damage isn't horrible

Everything else is pretty much useless though

[marble crater]

Crit damage perk is not great because of how the bonus works

[misty terrace]

I guess terrifying barrage could be useful if I'm backed into a corner or something but that's pretty situational

[analog agate]

No. That is bricked

[jovial juniper]

That's a nice terrifying barrage 4, I wonder if surge has plenty of t4 blessings

[misty terrace]

Well it's better than the shitty one I already had

[marble crater]

Salvage Barrage and try to roll a new one, or keep it for the update

[misty terrace]

Which is just a worse version of this one

I'm only now building my psyker after having them max level for like 7 or 8 months

So I don't have shit for them

And I'm out of materials cause I've been working on ogryn and zealot builds

[jovial juniper]

Hmmm, I wonder if the extra damage from RnG works on the RMB

[analog agate]

Hey, use it if you want. But you asked the question and we told you the answer

[misty terrace]

I'm not denying it's a shitty weapon

It's just the best thing available to me rn

[marble crater]

I guess you can put Nexus and flak on it, and it will kinda do its job

[misty terrace]

I knew it was pretty much fucked when I got 1 worthless and 1 borderline worthless perk

[misty terrace]

Kinda doing it's job is better than what I've got going on rn

It was able to get me through a damnation mission so it's at least not unusable but it's nowhere near as good as it could be

[dusky crag]

Let's go gambling!

[tired estuary]

aww dangit

[haughty star]

Wait did someone say scriers is bad

[dusky crag]

aw da-

that's not terrible... actually

[tired estuary]

honesty yeah

[hearty dagger]

Considering the only thing it's really good for is boss nuking with Ciag, which is honestly unnecessary considering Zealot does it better with less setup and DS4 handles bosses pretty decently, Scrier's is bad

[tired estuary]

It's good for killing anything better

[dusky crag]

swap proximity to deadly accurate and... think about it

[hearty dagger]

The best way to kill anything better is to just kill it better

[radiant frigate]

killing things better is nice and all

[hearty dagger]

Venting Shriek has more synergy with force stuff, Dome shield is just SSS tier utility for a lot of situations

And then you have Scrier's

It gives you more damage

[radiant frigate]

but straight up killing things (flaming shriek) is better

[hearty dagger]

Straight up not getting killed by things (dome shield) is also better

Even wall shield is useful since you can slap it down as an "Oh shit!" reaction to just about anything

[supple dock]

keep this around though

[hearty dagger]

Reaper? Oh shit!
Mutant wave? Oh shit!
Dog wave? Oh shit!
Heard a sniper shot about to dink you but you can't dodge? Oh shit!

Plus correct me if i'm wrong, but Scrier's also doesn't make a lot of sense with the ability design of Darktide anyway

Every ability other than Scrier's gives you an instant benefit to popping it, while Scrier's needs buildup while under a pretty strict duration

One way of making it not feel as weird as it is right now is make the cooldown work like Executioner's Stance, and make it so that if you get enough CDR to pop it again, you can pop it again to reset peril buildup speed and maybe knock off a chunk of peril as well

[radiant frigate]

the problem with scrier's in my book is that when you press it, all that happens is that you fight a little better

as opposed to the other two ults, which Do Shit Immediately

[jovial juniper]

Doesn't even give you attack speed

[hearty dagger]

Scrier feels like it's meant to be high risk high reward

But it's too meh

[tired estuary]

you get immediate 1 0% dmg and 20% crit chance on popping it, other buffs from how long it lingers

[hearty dagger]

It feels like fatshark was too scared of knocking it either way into either being broken strong or just too weak

[radiant frigate]

some risk no reward

[tired estuary]

anyways I'm going to avoid the exact thing that happened earlier and not get baited into another scriers argument lol

[hearty dagger]

Still doesn't feel like it's enough honestly

If it's meant to be for gunker, why no reload speed?

[radiant frigate]

if it's meant to be for melee, why no attack speed

[hearty dagger]

Definitely one of Gunker's screaming weaknesses but there is nothing in the gunker kit beyond blessings and perks to mitigate it

[radiant frigate]

never thought that reloading is an issue

[hearty dagger]

To be fair, look at any other ability or class option that specializes in shooting things.

They all have something for faster reloads.

[radiant frigate]

vet has 2 talents for it

zealot has SAINTED GUNSLINGER

[hearty dagger]

Ogryn: Point Blank Barrage
Veteran has way too many to count
Zealot has that one ability that gives you reload speed on melee kill

[jovial juniper]

Does Scrier's turn your normal attacks into "Warp"?
Because it would synergize with Perfect Timing

[hearty dagger]

Nope.

Speaking of, why is there nothing for that either?

[jovial juniper]

Aw dangit

[radiant frigate]

"consider all attacks warp" sounds kinda cool

[hearty dagger]

I am once again saying that Psyker needs the vet treatment

Aka a do-over of the skill tree

Hell, Psyker has the same problem of being locked out of some nodes if they don't take specific nodes

I.E, if you go Assail you can't get CDR on elite/specialist kill

Which, fair, Assail with CDR would be ridiculous

However, consider the fact that EVERY OTHER FUCKING CLASS HAS IT ANYWAY.

[radiant frigate]

or if i go brain burst i can't get the thingy that increases warp damage from non-warp kills

[hearty dagger]

Malefic Momentum, yeah

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[hearty dagger]

Literally the same problem vet had

[digital narwhal]

I definitely want to give Psyker some reload speed buffs.

Of course this is just a personal desire of mine.

But I'd love to get a change in for that.

[hearty dagger]

Hell, if you don't want to give Psyker reload speed, go the wacky space magic route instead

Here's a perk idea

Fated Bullet: Instead of running out of ammo, you keep 1 round in the mag no matter what but every shot costs peril depending on mag size

[digital narwhal]

Considering Peril is a non mechanic right now, I dunno if that'd be healthy with the current state of Psyker.

[hearty dagger]

Synergizes with peril perks, makes guns more engaging while having risk since well, holding down the trigger on a columnus/shredder will kill you.

[radiant frigate]

that sounds like a lot of fun with zarona

[digital narwhal]

I ideally want to remove Warp Speed's Movement Speed increase and replace it with Reload Speed, as well as replace Anticipation (because who really runs that) with something else benefiting Reload Speed.
I think conditionless Movement Speed is unhealthy, as proven by Zealot existing, so I think Reload Speed instead of Movement Speed would be healthier for Psyker overall, along with a compensatory buff to Mettle to allow it to stack 4 times instead of 3 times.

[radiant frigate]

what's so bad about movespeed

[hearty dagger]

Also, fun idea

New node for assail, mutually exclusive with more piercing

[analog agate]

Are you also a playtester for psyker Grond?

[digital narwhal]

It's rather easy to break spawning with it.

I'm just a playtester, not specifically for Psyker.

[hearty dagger]

Dual Strike: Ranged attacks also send Assail projectiles to attack the target and those around them

[analog agate]

Gotcha

I obviously know you from ogryn chat haha

[radiant frigate]

that sounds insanely dumb with high RoF weapons

or just staff lmb

[digital narwhal]

I'd rather not increase Gun Psyker's DPS like that when it's already the highest in the game thanks to Disrupt Destiny.

[hearty dagger]

Still draws from your assail reserve obviously

[digital narwhal]

Would still be too strong.

[haughty star]

You start with a instant damage buff AND movement speed

[hearty dagger]

True

But to be fair i'm just a random guy in psyker chat dropping ideas

[digital narwhal]

I'd just like to see more conditioned movement speed in the game; it should be earned as a combat reward instead of just something you always have or press a button to get.

[hearty dagger]

Honestly?

[digital narwhal]

Like Mettle.

Mettle is good.

[haughty star]

Scriers is super based for those wanting to run a gun or focus on melee lol. Scriers and ds4 with dd is arguably stronger than almost any zealot build is for single and multi target dps

[digital narwhal]

+Movement Speed nodes are not.

[hearty dagger]

I would do terrible things for Fatshark to remove movespeed from weapons entirely (Except say, Knife)

Since it's frustrating to take something like a Force Sword only to lag behind the team the entire time because Force Sword move speed is ass

[radiant frigate]

in all likelihood there would still be movetech

[tiny oracle]

would this be worth picking up? heard blast radius has very low impact on voidstrike

[radiant frigate]

force sword movement is pretty good though

thunder hammer movement 💀

[haughty star]

Eh it's kinda terrible if you don't have a good roll

[hearty dagger]

Still annoying to get outran by a guy carrying a chainsword as tall as he is

[upper sun]

thammer move set is based

[digital narwhal]

Blast Radius is the dump on Voidstrike anyway

Voidstrike, I meant Voidstrike

[upper sun]

the only issue is sprint cancelling on it

[digital narwhal]

Don't crucify me

[radiant frigate]

lack of faith

[hearty dagger]

I have more faith in the emperor in my pinky than a zealot has in their entire soul

[digital narwhal]

But ye, worth picking up.
Consecrate it to see what you get.

[hearty dagger]

Why do you think i haven't spontaneously exploded yet?

[marble crater]

That's good yeah

[hearty dagger]

Also another thing i feel is annoying on Psyker is all of our stuff is very gimmicky

Like say "oh yeah if you get this much peril, use your ability, sacrifice your newborn to the blackships, you get 10% movespeed"

[marble crater]

That's what makes psyker fun though

[hearty dagger]

Meanwhile Vet/Zealot/Ogryn just has a node like "Oh yeah here you can now headbutt through solid steel"

[hearty dagger]

Ngl i wouldn't say so, since at some point it just gets annoying

[misty terrace]

Why

[hearty dagger]

Like by time i get my setup done, the section is already over

[analog agate]

You can use the base after the new itemization update in the fall

[marble crater]

It's not that bad, if the section is over before that then you didn't need it anyway

[misty terrace]

Ah got it

So I should just start keeping weapons?

[hearty dagger]

That's the problem, it's usually something like that

[analog agate]

Really wellrolled stats on weapons, yes

[misty terrace]

Got it

[hearty dagger]

Plus Psyker kinda lacks in raw stats, so it gets even more annoying to look at any other skill tree to see them just get raw stats, while i have to go through multiple conditionals to kinda mitigate that

[analog agate]

Even if it is a brick now… may not be soon

Raw stats are boring

[marble crater]

What raw stats do you want?

[hearty dagger]

TDR.

Being a glass cannon feels great when you pull it off, but it's annoying that no matter what, i am always the glass cannon

[marble crater]

Psyker is the glass cannon class though, we have TDR with higher peril

[analog agate]

Yeah… you seem to just not want to be a psyker

[hearty dagger]

I ran the higher peril=TDR for a while

Still don't feel the difference

Plus it's still annoying that you need to drop crit chance to get it

[marble crater]

We also have great toughness regen, if you play well it's very hard to take health damage really

[hearty dagger]

True, but i do kinda wish there was more to lean into the tankker side of things, like with Kinetic Deflection my beloved

Like sure, i'm basically immune to melee, but if a gunner shows up from behind i get folded immediately

[marble crater]

You can stack more toughness regen from different sources I guess

[digital narwhal]

Psyker has amazing damage avoidance

[hearty dagger]

tbf though that is mitigatable with curios

[radiant frigate]

could run bubble for that

press f in case of gunner

profit

[hearty dagger]

Already do

Problem is, there's the dilemma

[marble crater]

True, we are great at avoiding damage, but if we take damage then it hurts even more

[hearty dagger]

Do i eat this down like a chump, or do i waste a bubble that i could have popped to rescue a teammate?

[digital narwhal]

I just use Empathic Evasion to make Gunners a non issue.

[radiant frigate]

if you prevent yourself from going down, you will be needing rescue so it is preferable to "waste" that bubble rescuing yourself

[hearty dagger]

True

Though say there's a single gunner, i am absolutely caught with my pants down, nothing else nearby

[analog agate]

Why would you go down to a single gunner

[hearty dagger]

Do i trust my teammates to not be stupid and come get me since my res is relatively safe (single gunner) or do i still pop that bubble?

[radiant frigate]

still pop

[hearty dagger]

Gunners from behind are painful.

[digital narwhal]

Tbf, ranged hit stun isn't a very fun mechanic

[hearty dagger]

Like "oh yeah i'm just going down this corridor"

Suddenly, i get stunlocked

And because i'm a squishy psyker, by time i can toss out assails/smite/brain burst (guns are useless because of suppression), i'm already down

[analog agate]

I just shoot in their vicinity with a lmb shot and they are surpressed. I don’t know. I don’t understand what you want besides getting it both ways

[hearty dagger]

See, if i was running an iag that would probably work

However, i both have poor latency and run a bolt pistol

[analog agate]

No, staff

It super surpresses everything with a lmb

[marble crater]

Staves are good at suppressing

[hearty dagger]

True

Though i'm just bored of staves in general.

Nothing new about them since launch.

[radiant frigate]

time to play another class

[hearty dagger]

I have.

[analog agate]

You seem to be bitching just to bitch. Time to start a reddit thread

[hearty dagger]

Zealot feels too mentally demanding, Ogryn feels too clunky and i just don't vibe with Veteran

then again, i run shroudfield knife zealot

[radiant frigate]

run evis XV charge martyr zealot

rend

tear

HAHA

[hearty dagger]

Oh yeah, that's fun

Evis zealot is great

Anyway, imagine if they add fucking Hammerhand to Psyker

Just "You know what? Fuck it, i cast catch these hands"

[radiant frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/ip-man-wing-chun-beat-down-punching-destroy-gif-10655042

[hearty dagger]

It would actually be a good melee weapon too

[radiant frigate]

good spell

[hearty dagger]

Hammerhand is described as the psyker being able to punch straight through a valkyrie, but being unable to wield weapons

[graceful mantle]

Sorry if this is commonly asked or anything, disrupt destiny not stacking properly? At first I thought I just wasnt seeing the buff, but at least a few times now ive noticed it does start stacking (Inconsistent) after I die and get rescued. Is this a known thing and is there a fix/work around other than throwing myself off a ledge at the start and getting rescued?

[hearty dagger]

Wdym stacking inconsistently?

iirc there's a bug that wasn't mentioned as fixed where DD doesn't actually display your current amount of stacks

Might be that?

[graceful mantle]

It might be that, but someone just said they had it happen to them which made me not feel crazy

[analog agate]

It is a ui bug. It isn’t showing you it but you do have it

[graceful mantle]

Since I didnt see anyone else asking about it when I looked into it my self a month or two ago

[analog agate]

Has stopped me from using it

[graceful mantle]

Makes sense since i started noticing it on the ui update, update. Thank you

[tired estuary]

there's a ui bug for warp charges too lol

[marble crater]

EP too

Time for builds without keystones

[analog agate]

Darktide is all one giant ui bug

[robust badge]

is it me or is the psyker class really bad at dealing with bosses?

[analog agate]

Nope, we are the worst besides specific gunker builds

[graceful mantle]

Unless gun psyker yeah.

[patent steeple]

psyker is not bad at boss killing if you use the right kind of gun build, but otherwise yes

[robust badge]

darn

[graceful mantle]

Tbh, just brain bursting or keeping the chaff off the others while they fight boss is the best thing you can do. Team game and all, no reason to try to do it all yourself

[analog agate]

We aren’t bad at it… just we are compared to everyone else

[tiny oracle]

im just curious, how do we even have access to force staves and force swords? i thought those were exclusive to librarians?

also arent they exceedingly hard to attune to?

[analog agate]

I know nothing about the lore. But I do know I can solo plague ogryns and bon bons… which I bet isn’t lore accurate

[ornate hamlet]

hop on kinetic resonance

[tiny oracle]

also using my surge staff build i can do alot against bosses, never the top but usually close

[analog agate]

Surge still sucks for it. It has its place for nurgle beasts in tight quarters though

[graceful mantle]

Damage is damage, every bit helps 🫡

[analog agate]

After guns, the dsiv is best. Unless you are a god aimer with the surge void

[tiny oracle]

but unless gunker you pretty much rely on soulblaze for boss damage

[analog agate]

No, dsiv

[lethal lagoon]

It takes 40-50 0 effort rmbs to kill a boss. Surge is pretty good and in most cases you'll be number 1 damage unless someone is running a boss build.

[analog agate]

That is my main boss dmg

[lethal lagoon]

Now if you are solo, guns and dagger is all we have.

[tiny oracle]

but does anyone actually have an explanation how we are getting our hands on force weapons? and how we are able to attune to them?

[analog agate]

Ima count that when I get on. That means I can kill a boss in about 30 sec with surge

[haughty star]

Surge is premiere gameplay

All the other staves are pretty mid for me

Surge just feels good

[radiant frigate]

"get zapped idiot"

[analog agate]

Surge is when I want to zoom zoom in the map

[tiny oracle]

also i wouldnt say surge is 0 effort, you pretty much have to be edging to get a good result out of it, and a single mistake or you are half a second off you blow yourself up

[haughty star]

Have to be edging and have to have warp charges

I'd even say that the six warp charges are almost a necessity

[tiny oracle]

warp charges arent really a problem if you run creeping flames

also surge is pretty good at getting them

[haughty star]

Creeping flames doesn't make surge feel less shitty without a buff lol

But yeah getting them is not problematic

[tiny oracle]

it definetly does for me

[lethal lagoon]

I'd love to see a count, cause I'm just guessing based on average surge damage and boss health.

[tiny oracle]

creeping flames vent spam makes up for having 0 horde clear

[haughty star]

That's what a illisi backup is for

Stay at the back of the pack and pull out a illisi if you get swarmed

[tiny oracle]

illisi spec to quickly get peril, vent, kill 6 gunners you didnt even see trough a wall, repeat

[haughty star]

But yeah if the horde juicy enough by all means. I just don't let go of my wc unless it looks worthy

[tiny oracle]

you really should get out of that mindset

warp charges are infinitely expendable

[lethal lagoon]

Well no wonder you think surge is bad.

Play completely wrong, weapon is shit

[haughty star]

I've seen people that shout at pretty much every little cluster and it's dumb asf

[tiny oracle]

try it

[haughty star]

No

Lol

I shout at hordes not fingerfulls

[tiny oracle]

trust me, once you learn to not give a shit about warp charges, it feels so much better

[haughty star]

I don't give a shit about them because I shriek at the proper time lol

I actually get them back from said shriek usually lol

[tiny oracle]

maybe not shout at every little pack, but in my opinion its better to shout too much rather than too little

[stiff falcon]

edging

[haughty star]

Eh to each their own but there's alot of bps on disablers you can't meet without wc uptime, inopportune shouts will fuck ya sometimes

[haughty star]

Tf are you on about lol?

[ornate hamlet]

real

[haughty star]

I'm talking about people that literally shout every time it cools down lol it's just dumb when there's not a presentable enough cluster for it

[stiff falcon]

Atlas moment

[haughty star]

Tru

[tiny oracle]

a shriek that is not on cooldown is a wasted shriek

[haughty star]

Nah that's just wasted dps on your surge at that point

If the surge can handle it you shouldn't be shrieking is my rule of thumb lol

[tiny oracle]

by the time i need that dps my shriek is back up

[haughty star]

You realize wc damage applies to the shriek as well correct?

[tiny oracle]

the shriek itself does no damage

[haughty star]

Literally just a waste of potential dps all around to shriek at things the staff itself can handle

[tiny oracle]

so no it does not

[haughty star]

But you do you homie I like surge to have good damage and more high peril uptime with warp res buff

That two shot sniper life lmao

[upper sun]

shriek doesnt do damage but creeping flames does

[tiny oracle]

but when you shriek you loose your warp stacks anyway, so the damage from the charges is irrelevant anyway

[upper sun]

so get more charges ?????

you have more up time on your ult with them

[haughty star]

Which you'll hardly ever do literally shrieking on cooldown

[lethal lagoon]

Teehee I misread your comment

[analog agate]

You were making a point at the beginning Snaex… and I fear you have lost your way

[haughty star]

But yeah imo if the stave can handle whatever you're about to shriek at there is literally no good reason to waste the charges

0 other than laziness maybe? Defoo less dps in long run tho

[tiny oracle]

my point still remains, dont be conservative with your warp charges, they are too easy to regain and it only hurts you in the long run

[analog agate]

No one is disagreeing with that statement

[late sapphire]

If you're shrieking at a single mauler you're wasting charges

[haughty star]

.Pretty sure most of the pros here would agree that you shouldn't be costing yourself uptime shrieking shit off that the staff itself can handle

[vagrant furnace]

Its not about being conservative, its about taking the right décision at the right time

[late sapphire]

If you're shrieking at a horde + shotgunner group even though you don't need to it's still a good speedup

Rule of thumb is it's better to have shriek on hand in case you need it imo

[analog agate]

Especially now with gunners being more deadly

[haughty star]

30 seconds is a literal eternity in darktide time and the surge is not good enough without the warp charges at killing elites to begin with or something buffing it up

[late sapphire]

If you get jumped by enemies from a spawnpoint you didn't notice, if a teammate is about to eat an overhead, if specials or a horde shows up out of nowhere, if you failed edging etc not having shriek can be a deadly mistake

Don't waste your one pop of guaranteed failure tolerance

[haughty star]

We need double shriek like zealot has with fury

[vernal frost]

that would be hella busted

im all for it

27 stacks with a staff?

hell fucking yeah

[late sapphire]

Double shriek would be too good

[haughty star]

It would be funni for a little while

[late sapphire]

Anyways sometimes you get really good shriek opportunities where it lets you kill a group a lot faster and you instantly get wc back

[marble crater]

Now that I could actually play: is the director on crack?

[late sapphire]

On the new map? Yeah it is

[haughty star]

It's been pretty rough all around lately lol

[vernal frost]

yeah and the enemies got a buff

[marble crater]

All the maps

Jesus christ

[analog agate]

All maps yeah

[late sapphire]

I don't think i ever struggled to get wc on auric damn since update

Even when overusing my shriek

[analog agate]

I am enjoying it. I have spent so long in a zen state of playing I forgot how to try lmao

[marble crater]

You turn around the corner 20 ragers, next corner 20 ragers again

[late sapphire]

Delicious buffet

I've not had an issue with 20 ragers in fact i can recommend 20 ragers very much, it's more the entirely uninterrupted specials stream on auric dam

[marble crater]

I know ragers got a buff, but it also feels like they had a health buff or something, dreg ragers that is

[late sapphire]

The director's pissing out specials like an incontinent on a diuretics overdose

[vagrant furnace]

Combined with the fact that a lot of players dont care whats happening behind them its a recipe for a disaster

You think 15 toughness is better than perfect timing for a staff?

[jaunty basin]

not a crit build

but go off

[lethal lagoon]

[stone juniper]

this what

[lethal lagoon]

Man this discord always get's a bit wild whenever a patch drops.

[stone juniper]

why build into crits if its clearly not the point of the build

[lethal lagoon]

[stone juniper]

how u gonna proc that Heresy player

[lethal lagoon]

[upper sun]

1 crit = 5 stacks of perfect timing

[lethal lagoon]

Even if we ignore the patch, psyker still has the highest base crit.

And not getting 5% crit and KD on an "unkilllable" build is just bizzare.

I can't, I can't do this.

This has to be a troll

[jaunty basin]

then dont

[lethal lagoon]

Just to be clear, you aren't trolling, you think that build is good?

No new map. No new wepaon.

Just the crafting update.

Although FS time september is probablly still mid summer. After summer is more likely october.

Yeah, it will be the 2 year anniversary update

For beta. That was late October

Early access is guess

Not even at the first event in the new map and I've had 8 ragequits

Wow.

[ornate hamlet]

ive given up on those penances cos i dont want the titles anymore after seeing how people that have them play the game

reject my beloved

[lethal lagoon]

Don't need to give up on them, just play the game as best you can and get them naturally

[ornate hamlet]

yeah true

i just need a premade team and sweat my ass off

[hollow current]

It's a tough problem. The game's connectivity is shitting up again and it'd be maddening if leaving a game/the server killing itself would ruin your penance

[lethal lagoon]

Rejoin

And honestly, that's not a big deal.

Compared to what's going on now

[hollow current]

I've had games where multiple people get dropped at the same time. If that happens in a bad spot and you rejoin, you might not be able to rejoin at all

[lethal lagoon]

I mean the don't get downed for 10 times malice one counts DCs and crashes

Literally no one complained

That's the game

[hollow current]

I think people just never did that one because Malice is a ghost town once you get used to Aurics.

[lethal lagoon]

I just think it sucks the "best" title is now just a tool for knowing who's probably a bad player.

[hollow current]

The titles are lame anyways.

[lethal lagoon]

Anytime I see someone running ASS, they are almost always bad.

[hollow current]

I judge people based on the scoreboard poses

And their outfits.

[lethal lagoon]

I just have mine on reject or nothing

I think they'd be cooler without rareity colors.

Then people wouldn't be nuking games to farm for ASS

[plucky flax]

The title that everyone survive maelstrom without going down was harder for me.

Pugs always go down.

[lethal lagoon]

If you get ASS legitmately, you'll probably get that just naturally.

I think that's how I got it.

I think it counts DCs though.

So, how's that crafting update i've heard about? Haven't kept up with the game in a while

[stiff falcon]

If someone alt f4s I intentionally am going to barrel them

[late sapphire]

If a disconnect failed the penance i would have shit myself

[lethal lagoon]

Eh... It's 5 auric maels, and like 50% of maels are snooze fests.

Having to just eat a DH after the person who aggroed it left was painful for me. I was ready to pussy out and leave but sucked it up.

[late sapphire]

I get disconnected more than once per 5 matches on average

[lethal lagoon]

My journey to ASS caused me to lose 2 inches off my ASS.

[lethal lagoon]

I mean I'm fine if rejoins negate the DC reseting the penance.

There's still potential for cheese, but it doesn't fuck other people the same way just quitting and requeueing for something else does

Honestly I dunno.

[late sapphire]

That sounds like code way too complex for FS

[lethal lagoon]

Maybe streaks are just a bad idea.

Make it 50 total auric maels without dying or something.

[late sapphire]

solo auric mael once

How bout that

[lethal lagoon]

A private duo penance would be cool

Since you can't "legally" solo a game

Auric Conquerer for Duoing an Auric Mael

Free AC for life

And if it makes people upset cause they can't get it, that's free PR

[late sapphire]

An actual skill check for once

[hollow current]

A new title. Auric Fodder.

Wipe at the first section of an auric maelstrom mission.

[long wharf]

there should be a forced player title for people who quit the mission or game when they go down in an auric

[night moat]

Is Assail basically still the meta build? I just tried Scrier's Gaze and Smite builds and they seem kinda trash.

[orchid shadow]

I'm sure they can track how many times someone DCs while downed or incapacitated and give them a title they can't change for a set amount of time if you're over a threshold.

[misty terrace]

This better?

[night moat]

Pretty solid, but you will want to swap the ranged damage perk out.

[misty terrace]

I swapped it to flak

[night moat]

That or carapace is good.

[hearty oak]

I did. I got killed

[night moat]

If you can bump the nexus tier, it's basically top tier.

[misty terrace]

Now I need a duelling sword that's worth a fuck and my build is basically done

[night moat]

I'm jealous. I want that staff lol

[misty terrace]

My current one is usable but it can be better

[night moat]

Mine needs some tweaking. I need to get shred on it.

[misty terrace]

I think I have level 4 shred unlocked

Yeah I do

Think I should swap out precog for that?

[night moat]

Absolutely.

[misty terrace]

Fuck

[night moat]

lol. Get to farming

At least you can get the blessing you want.

[misty terrace]

I'm gonna swap to my zealot and sell my emperor's gifts

I have so many of them

[night moat]

I feel like this patch completely squashed my zealout.

She was so fun

And now..

She just gets shredded.

[misty terrace]

What did they change?

Hadron just bricked my dclaw

Fucking mechanical whore

[night moat]

I don't know if they nerfed zealot or just buffed regular mobs, but I get destroyed in packs that used to not touch me at all

[misty terrace]

They buffed dreg ragers and made gunners more accurate

[night moat]

That's probably it then. I have tons of gunner resistance but the ragers absolutely tear me down

[analog agate]

I have psych ward and it glitches when I try and rejoin

[misty terrace]

I haven't fought a pack of dreg ragers with my build yet

So idk how I'll do

What weapon?

[night moat]

On my zealot?

[proud mantle]

does smite and surge proc the electrocuted bonuses on the maul?

[night moat]

Yes

[misty terrace]

I use a heavy sword

Here's my build for it

[ornate hamlet]

switch to blades and never look back

[misty terrace]

I use blades on my knife build

They're good but they're hard to use super well on controller

[ornate hamlet]

[fading depot]

You know I felt underwhelmed when I saw the beta helm Fatshark gave us

But I didn't realize at the time it was the only fucking helmet they ever planned on giving this class

[proud mantle]

teeeechnically there are 2 but one's jsut a skin of another

[narrow herald]

Hey I wanted to ask but does soulblaze count as "range damage"?

[proud mantle]

yea

on that note i think bleed used to count as melee but not anymore

[hollow current]

condition damage i thought

[proud mantle]

now does the shield stun on psyker count as electrocute

on 2x shield ability

it does

[little belfry]

20 Melkbux short >_<
No idea if it's any good but it seems worth a whirl

[analog agate]

No? Vet chat was saying no yesterday.

[fringe garden]

So is the shock maul any good for us?

[analog agate]

It’s fine. But we have the illisi which I think is superior.

[stone totem]

Did you know if you do a PA on a force sword it counts as an attack for the purposes of the BR upgrade

Even though it's kinda just a funny second shove

I had it proc on a poxburster

[proud mantle]

im mostly using it for the campaign

[shut flax]

melk's on a good mood today

[analog agate]

Just tried ogryn again. I jsut can't. People trying to "kill the horde" while gunners are pelting us. Because they want to "kill the horde". Playing anything but ranged atm is making me hate the darktide playerbase

[lethal lagoon]

Which melee weapon? And what keystone and ability?

[analog agate]

pickaxe with kickback

heavy hitter

[lethal lagoon]

Try like an mk3 mace with feel no pain and get your toughness around 180-200.

Just spam heavies and face tank everything

Can you mindlessly spam heavies with the pickaxe?

I havent played Ogryn since the new map release.

[analog agate]

No, pickaxes have cool combos. Can I just do a shield build? Yes. Doesnt change the fact that the new enemy buffs are showing that people in pubs that play auric are clueless. Even when they get pelted in the face they don't kill the gunner.

Someone was pointing out that this is also negatively affecting (and showing the detriment of) controller players too. Which I definitenly notice more as well now

Oh well, I will just stick to my meta surge and trauma builds. Or do vet once in a while

[visual prism]

hey guys havent played since like january. any cool new psyker builds? i used to play gun psyker with lightning+dome

[analog agate]

Meta is still the same for psykers since then. So builds are all the same

[visual prism]

oh i thought there was gonna be new things with the new weps and mastery/experties

[analog agate]

New weapons came. Didnt change meta. Pygex posted a bolt pistol build today

Crafting update in the fall

[visual prism]

oh ok. thanks! will stick to my current build then 😄

[flint pawn]

How good is Disrupt Destiny, I've literally never used it but I'm penance hunting so I've gotta

[ornate hamlet]

like best keystone in the game or smthn

but i dont enjoy using it

[ripe obsidian]

Holy moly I have lost like 7 games in a row. What is going on. Who are these players

[analog agate]

they buffed auric which is showing the true "skill" of the palyerbase

well, buffed gunners really

[ripe obsidian]

Games keep going like this

[ornate hamlet]

clearly u didnt carry hard enough :3

[visual prism]

wait can i not explode with peril anymore? mutant stuck me behind a medicae and cant move 😄

[ornate hamlet]

if ur stuck i'd just dc and try rejoin

[visual prism]

leave mission or quit game?

[ornate hamlet]

mission

or if it is possible to die just do that maybe

[visual prism]

i tried to explode myself. but couldnt for some reason. enemies couldnt hit me as well

[ornate hamlet]

rip

[haughty star]

wht the fuck lol

in requisitions

its 0/1 rn but i've seen weirder shit happen

okay 0/2 but it's so good my dumb ass is still gonna hit it again

[ripe obsidian]

Pls

I am trying so hard

[ornate hamlet]

Deadge

[ripe obsidian]

I just want to win. D:

[ornate hamlet]

What map/modifier r u doing

[ripe obsidian]

Just auric maelstrom qp

Errr, auric damnation

Not maelstrom

[ornate hamlet]

Unlucky

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah. At least one of these losses was my fault because I mismanaged peril

And my team then got slaughtered by crushers

But the rest are going like this

[ornate hamlet]

Should have vented

[ripe obsidian]

2 seconds left on CD when I blew up

[ornate hamlet]

I feel that

[ripe obsidian]

I got panicked because there was a crusher patrol in my face and was just spamming RMB voidstrike to stagger them

[ornate hamlet]

What build do u run

[ripe obsidian]

Illisi/Voidstrike, smite/CD aura/vent/DD

I only use smite when things are rather dire
