Loner just a bad aura in general

plucky flax
#

Best zealot aura.

nocturne dust
#

Loner is pretty bad, yeh.

jovial juniper
#

Well yeah

#

Passive toughness regen still convenient though

hearty dagger
#

To this day i still don't get the point behind PC

hardy raft
#

they really just took the base aura and gave it minimum 2 coherency

#

lazy ass

#

i just think zealot just has 2 auras because of this cause 2 of them are upgrades from the same base aura and one is objectively worse than the other

nocturne dust
#

It would be at least a little better if it just made Zealot count as 2, so you could stack up to 5 or something

#

of course that wouldn't really be 'loner' of it to work on teammates

plucky flax
#

You guys need to utilise the aura by being solo.

#

Go on solo incursions away from team.

hardy raft
#

of course loner doesnt fit the name but least its not garbo lol

nocturne dust
plucky flax
nocturne dust
#

What possible reason would a player have to separate and leave the team in a team-based game where leaving the team and making one bad move means death?

nocturne dust
#

worst time to abandon them, lol

It's just really powerful

#

I also have stealth with my loner build to do objectives by myself.

nocturne dust
#

And of course there's always the total unfairness of a trapper sending a net through solid steel

plucky flax
#

I play my loner martyrdom build at 50 hp and 5 wounds stack.

marble crater
eager token
#

loner is only ever good for clutching

#

and if you build for clutching it’s weird

nocturne dust
#

Loner really doesn't do much for you.

plucky flax
#

I always win with loner it's op clutching aura.

nocturne dust
#

Lol, no, it's a single coherency regen. You may win with it, but that doesn't mean it enables you to win.

plucky flax
#

100% toughness regen up time

#

I learn from the best player unsanctioned.

eager token
#

loner allows you to play the game without a team buddy

#

it’s the easiest way to win

#

team only brings you down

plucky flax
#

It's true I always get top damage.

#

Team is just a hinder.

eager token
#

yeah when my team dies i dont even rescue them

#

they will just die again like

#

lol

#

just let me finish the mission if you’re that bad

thin finch
#

Because they're better obviously heyheyppl

eager token
#

nah scoreboard mod tells me i’m top damage the entire time

upper sun
#

we usually wipe if im the one doing most damage KEKW_ogryn

Someone out there trolling everyone for 10 minute and this ks supposed to be the brain boyz bar

hearty oak
#

Nurgles blessing has got to be the worst modifier in maelstroms

nocturne dust
#

I think it's actually one of the easiest

hearty oak
hardy raft
#

its one of the wackiest

nocturne dust
#

Like, all it does is turn some guys green, give them extra HP, and make them stagger immune

hearty oak
nocturne dust
#

I'd much rather that over two dozen snipers spawning every couple of minutes

nocturne dust
#

They glow green so they're easy to spot and avoid.

hearty oak
#

Man that must be why I had a million and one rage quitters in my last game

nocturne dust
#

I mean, pubs are going to pub

#

and if it's maelstrom any of the other modifiers could easily be doing the work

hearty oak
#

Also, the ends of missions have to be narrow hallways for all that green to gagglefuck a doorway so you can't kill the green bulwark

hardy raft
#

green dog

nocturne dust
#

You can dodge dogs too.

hearty oak
#

Green trappers trolldespair

hardy raft
#

green specials

#

just get wack

#

tbh

nocturne dust
#

Shoot 'em and dodge 'em. You should be practiced dodging specials especially.

marble crater
hardy raft
#

trauma users suffering with nurgle bless is why i like that modifier

hardy raft
hearty oak
#

Never see trauma staff uses in nurgles blessing maelstroms. Rarely see them period

hardy raft
#

he's not alone usually and blessed enemies existing makes the zones more oppressed

nocturne dust

its always like that

#

unless the emperor protects

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

good luck kiting on something liek the elevator on hourglass

hearty oak
#

Sometimes. The game will bless only trash and not ogryns and bosses. Then there are games where it's a true casual filter

nocturne dust
nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

git gud doesnt magically give me room to dodge when there is physically none

#

nurgle's blessing is great at oppressing that

nocturne dust
#

Like, I don't know what to tell you, but if I can handle it, most people should be able to with practice.

hearty oak
hardy raft
#

ah yes you can handle the bulwark spam led by a green bulwark and then a green dog jumping through them

hardy raft
hearty oak
nocturne dust

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

you forgot the bulwark to your left sir

#

and the wall to the right

hearty oak
nocturne dust
#

Like, if you get trapped you get trapped

hardy raft
#

i should definitely go more aggressive and make space but again, blessing does prevent that especially if you cant physically remove the enemies that have the blessings

nocturne dust
#

You can't push them but you can kind of ignore them

hardy raft
#

you cant really ignore bulwarks

nocturne dust
#

Like, if you block and dodge you won't take damage and can just run around them

hardy raft
#

if its on a very open space you can do that but on rooms?

hearty oak
#

4 bulwarks and 2 of them are green and they continue to bully you

hardy raft
#

you forgot the 6 bulwarks behind them

#

running at you

#

slowly

hearty oak
#

Just ignore them Kekw

#

Surely

hardy raft
#

surely the 90% of the room wont get filled with enemies before we kill like 3 bulwarks right

nocturne dust
#

I mean in rooms you just back up. If you have no room to back, then normally that means you still had a chance to push to a more spacious area before they aggroed and walked over

hardy raft
#

refer: the elevator on virus

#

probably the most biased example but it works

#

otherwise yes you can kite back to prev rooms

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

where either its more spaced out or at least you can kite back to the original room

hearty oak
#

In any other situations, sure. You could just run back but the psyker has low running speed, the best you can hope for is to pepper them to death.

hardy raft
hearty oak
#

while backpedaling

hardy raft
#

including specials

#

ive seen many pub matches just get cockblocked in the elevator

#

and die

#

kek

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

even if your team knows what you are doing you can try to conquer the room but due to random spawns half the room is already filled with enemies that have a spawndoor right behind the wall of ogryns

#

that initial wave is probably harder than like 90% of the things they throw at you on the map

#

ok it was the refinery

#

where you destroy plague shit

nocturne dust
#

Okay I looked up the map

#

Hourglass

#

and I know what elevator you're talking about

#

You should be able to absolutely push and work with that amount of room imo

#

They don't spawn literally blocking the door to the elevator

hardy raft
#

half the room is filled with whatever random spawns, and if you're unlucky its a blessed bulwark already limiting your area options

#

i know it really varies between encounters and parties

#

but it's probably the worst example of this case since you cant physically retreat

nocturne dust
#

Yes, but it's just a hitbox and you can move around it.

hardy raft
#

you might have forgotten about the other 3 bulwarks

#

they havent forgot about you tho

#

outside of that you can deal with it, i dont particularly hate nurgle's blesing out of that specific situation

#

poxburster waves are the ones i hate the most

nocturne dust
#

The natural problem of Darktide, which is always the problem, is how to work around all the things coming at you at once. Naturally, you have to create space and be aggressive. Use your grenades, guns, anything you need. This doesn't change when one of them happens to glow green other than you just have to put up with one guy (or a couple) having CC immunity

hearty oak
#

>it's just a hitbox
>I don't know which elevator
>they don't spawn blocking anything
Bruh this dude hasn't played I-II-V-E-G before or any of the mission modifiers that give nurgle blessings

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

CC immunity on a enemy that can controll its engagements and only Hard CC works on the guy, or try to make him misswing which half the time results in the shieldbash which restricts your movement even more

nocturne dust
#

I literally just said I knew which elevator

hardy raft
#

blessed bulwarks swarming yoru ass on that exact spot has been one of the leading causes of pub stomps

#

hell even a normal ass bulwark getting spammed like 8 of them can kill the match right then and there

hardy raft
#

team doesnt have hard cc and one idiot got hit by the net on the other side of the phalanx

#

i know im always bringing pub experience but thats how i do maelstroms

nocturne dust
#

Like, yes, it's more difficult when the game throws certain things at you, but I don't think nurgle's blessing makes things all that much harder than they already are

hardy raft
#

i just hate bulwark doomstacks

#

your only option against them are hard AoE CCs or flamers usually

#

trauma, smite, etc

#

they have reduced the doomstack spawns but sometimes director does funny and says that you need to die with 14 bulwarks

hearty oak
#

Bulwark/chaos spawn (whose also blessed) is like a death sentence to those who don't have the proper build.

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

idk pox gas is easy if no enemy spawns

nocturne dust
#

Well, pox gas is easy too, sure.

hardy raft
#

everything is "easy" if you take account that its the only thing present, which is usually not the case(for example, scab melee only maelstrom that always gets no ammo modifier)

#

blessing tends to make stuff worse at times

#

but when it makes worse the doomstack which is usually bad normall even it kinda gets impossible to counter them unless you already have a specific build to counter them

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

uh no, just some pissed off director and some unlucky spawns gets you there

nocturne dust
#

with nurgle's blessing, whereas it doesn't take a lot for other modifiers

hardy raft
#

bulwark spam with blessed bulwarks mixed in is quite ass

hearty oak
hardy raft
#

i still have

#

no idea how console players play this game

#

feel like its only usable on malice

nocturne dust
#

I mean I play on PC so I can't speak for console, lol

hardy raft
#

i tried using my 8bitdo controller

#

i kept dying with smite EP

#

thats saying something lol

marble crater
hardy raft
#

not funny

hearty oak
marble crater
#

Saw a video of someone playing with their feet and elbow once

hardy raft
#

stahp

nocturne dust
#

but on PC, at least, nurgle's blessing feels like a non-issue in most situations and even in situations where it gets a bit cranky it's still workable and whatever.

hardy raft
#

its only ass on specific situations

#

otherwise its a decent balance addition

#

well except when it dictates that bosses should be immune to everything

#

sometimes that can get out of hand real quick

#

same goes for monstrous specialist
sometimes the game is like you arefine just get trapper freight trains
and then sometimes you get 3 monster spawns
oh and a actual monster cause some idiot crossed the trigger good luck

nocturne dust
#

Eh, I mean, pubs will pub.

hardy raft
#

ye

ivory wharf
hardy raft
#

no point in argueing over there i guess

ivory wharf
#

Think for a minute dumbass

hardy raft
#

it has the base aura

#

7.5% TDR

#

its half of what benediction gets but

#

its

#

okayish

nocturne dust
#

At some point you just have to accept your fate at the hands of 12 monsters, 20 crushers, 30 bulwarks, and 400 ragers

hardy raft
#

you forgot the 8 flamers

ivory wharf
hearty oak
#

Specific situations you can normally muscle through cause you're carrying or the team has just enough competence to make it through can be stopped short by nurgles blessing giving ragers and ogryns stagger resist and just drop the zealot, the vet, the other psyker.

hardy raft
#

aka pubs

#

pub experience is

#

reallllll good

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

imho peak darktide is pubs

#

if you wanna see yourself turn into chaos

#

go for heresy

nocturne dust
#

Oh I know, I exclusively play pubs

ivory wharf
hardy raft
#

have you ever had a pub that wakes up DH, immediately DC's and the DH targets your ass instead of the DC'd idiot

#

peak darktide

hardy raft

imagine having competant bots that dont get themselves hung up at hab dreyko

ivory wharf

marble crater
# hardy raft no idea how console players play this game

Seriously though, aiming is more difficult and aim assist in darktide is not very helpful, so it's more about positioning for me. If you turn up your sensitivity you can still do all the fast turning and shooting like everyone else.
The main problem we have is that we have to use the button layouts the game gives us (unless we use an 'elite' controller to remap the buttons there) and those layouts are really not great at all.

hardy raft
#

problem is you cant do that when you're dealing with ragers and bulwarks

ivory wharf
#

Friends come and go

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

i was like minding my own business then a fucking DH jumpscares me

hearty oak

Pc can remap

hardy raft
#

i wanna do remap buttons so the shoulder button can do stuff i want

broken carbon
#

oh ur a console player

quartz barn
#

Shoulder button?

broken carbon
#

that makes sense

ivory wharf
#

I’d rather play with bots rather than actual players cause allot of AUD players who don’t do auric suck

broken carbon
#

wait no

#

R1 and L1

#

on playstation

nocturne dust
hardy raft
#

one you can press deep or not

broken carbon
#

and LB and RB on xbox

quartz barn
#

So triggers/bumpers

wild night
ivory wharf
#

Btw allot of players in AUD don’t do auric and I mean allot

wild night
#

This all depends on if you claw your controller or not.

hearty oak
hardy raft
#

feel like controllers wernt built for fast paced shooters

ivory wharf

#

it feels oh so nice when im playing something soulslike

marble crater
hardy raft
#

cant get myself to do shit with darktide on controllers

wild night
#

Some crazy bastards on Xbox play double claw and use their index to move around.

hardy raft
#

whats the claw method again

#

never seen it

nocturne dust
#

I don't like controllers in general

marble crater
#

My hands hurt just reading that

ivory wharf
hardy raft
#

also

wild night
hardy raft
#

index to controll the stick? y e s u s

hardy raft
#

ok im giving up usinga controller then

#

that

#

looks

#

painful

hearty oak
#

It actually wasnt

marble crater
#

Yeah, I don't recommend it

hearty oak
#

It was my proffered method back when I was xbox

nocturne dust
ivory wharf
#

Plus also have under Paddles on my controller as well

marble crater
#

Having extra paddles is just nice

wild night
#

Paddles definitely help as well with this game.

hardy raft
#

wanna make a controller keybind so pressing the bumpber light makes you swing lights continuously and pressing deep lets you do heavys

#

idk what paddles are

#

theres some tactile button behind my controller

#

idk what they do

marble crater
#

Those would be the paddles

hardy raft
#

does that do anything?

#

or do you have to custom keybind

#

cause i dont think i have touched settings

marble crater
#

You can bind any button to them usually

wild night
#

I just wish the dead zones weren't so awful in the Tide games.

marble crater
#

So instead of pressing X you can press the paddle that also bound to the X button

#

And don't need to take your thumb off the stick

hardy raft
#

ok

#

why is my A button

#

presses numpad enter

#

what

marble crater
#

I don't know KEKW_ogryn

hardy raft
#

fartshark

marble crater
#

Most of those controllers should have software you can use to remap the buttons

#

Mine even has software on the xbox store pogryn

Elite Series?

hearty oak

Think the Zealot i know, may know them

marble crater
# wild night Elite Series?

Too expensive for me and the reviews about quality are something I didn't like, I'm using a Gamesir G7 SE, no stick drift whatsoever

wild night
#

Elite Series is such a gamble.

#

You either get one that never breaks or one that's irreparably damaged.

upper sun
#

am i the only one that finds it weird when poth personalities of any char agree on something on the voice lines?

#

like bro you're the same person shut the fuck up

marble crater
#

Yep, that's why I am avoiding them, if I knew I would get one that doesn't break I might invest, but I am very happy with my Gamesir one, best one for that price

wild night
#

Coruscation psyker pls

hardy raft
#

corus should die

#

i like the shotgun part

wild night
#

😢

hardy raft
#

not the AoE DoT emplacement thst is free of charge and can be spammed part

#

would be interesting if a psyker's staff rightclick is you holding to charge, but isntead of charge being the damage its your current warp levels that do more damage

#

drains out the warp level and sends a straight beam

#

so you can use it with scriar gaze, but has low finesse modifiers and cant shoot heads since its a big beam

late yew
#

How to properly aim with shards?

upper galleon
#

With right click just hold down and the heretic you locked onto will have a head glow

plucky flax
upper galleon
#

I forgot the exact cone of focus but in general, looking at something makes assail shards fly towards it, priority to enemies over distant terrain

plucky flax
#

Shhhh

#

Let them mald.

late yew
#

Also assail msotly should be used with right lcick, right?

plucky flax
#

I only use assail right click against sniper.

late yew
#

Hmm

marble crater
#

Or when I want to kill that one gunner in particular

late yew
#

I just find left click VERY inefficient and long to kill anything that is not walkers

marble crater
#

Which keystone are you using with assail?

late yew
#

EP

plucky flax
#

Hrm ep should shred elites packs.

#

You have tru aim for more crits?

marble crater
#

Yeah, shotgunner or gunner packs just perish against EP assail

upper galleon
#

The left click spam is much better

upper sun
#

hadron jumpscare in news or some shit

wild night
#

Heheheha

hearty oak
#

Does DD affect assail?

upper sun
#

i dont see why it wouldnt

wild night
#

Not sure.

plucky flax
#

Are you even sedition pro player?

hearty oak
#

See

#

I just used it

#

Just cause

#

I didn't see if it actually worked with DD

#

I see gunner packs, I spam shards. Easy life

#

The details are for damnation players

upper sun
#

soooo is fan fiction content now?

#

this shit is funny

Purloin providence is the optinal talent

late yew
hearty oak

"Balanced" build.
Surge staff and snipe elites. Build your Siphon stacks and you can spam more lightning. Smite trash and vent for the obvious damage

Illisi is still better than obscurus, replace carapace with flak and you can use it like that or you can replace deflector with slaughterer, if you want better horde clear instead of blocking ranged fire

ornate abyss

For voidstrike I use this

late yew
#

Lasgun

#

Or headhunter

jovial juniper
#

While usable, not enough cleave, sometimes your target sits behind other targets

#

Aiag and 7a are high tier for Perfectionism

#

7a also buffed

#

And before someone mentions Zarona, not enough ammo

#

Oh I've used Vraks 7 and Mk12 btw

#

You know, kinda easy to hunt heads when your target is glowing

#

Blaze trauma is the next on my testing, it can't fully use DD but yeah

#

Purgatus also mid for DD, unless your teammate is using it, apply blaze when he's using it and you don't need to do much

But why the hell would you put unarmored damage

#

The worst option possible\

fluid terrace
#

haha

marble crater
# ornate abyss good, bad?

Penetration is pretty low, you can change the perks to maniac and carapace and see how well it does, worst case you take uncanny 4 from it for a better one

late yew
#

or that

ornate abyss
late yew
#

that person was trolling

ornate abyss
#

idk this was a year ago

late yew
#

Or it was for different weapon

#

i prefer that blessing that gives crit chance after dodge

marble crater
#

It's not for hordes though, mainly for mutants and big armored targets, so you want to pair it with a ranged weapon that does well against hordes, like purgatus or trauma staves

late yew
#

I don't think DS spammy enough for shred

marble crater
#

I also like the dodge more, but both perks are bad KEKW_ogryn

late yew
#

Replacing whatever was there with unarmroed damage on DS is pure meme shitposting tier

marble crater
#

Maybe it was poxwalkers or something worse

patent steeple
#

I myself have two DS4s, with one having crit on dodge and Uncanny Strike (I use this on all psyker builds, outside of a Surge Staff build in which I use Shockmaul), and the other having Rampage and Uncanny Strike (I use this on Gun psyker only).

#

both of my DS4s have Maniac and Carapace perks, btw

late yew
#

DS really feels great

#

Also most elegant melee weapon there is in DT

#

Having bullets blocking shield is too nice though

hearty oak
#

I was so sad for this defeat. Had to clutch twice and almost had it on the second time

#

But the poxburster did that fucking stupid thing where it doesnt like to blow up after you push it

jovial juniper
#

Oh, yeah

#

It once threw 2 teammates off the map because it decided to not explode

hearty oak
#

Nah they were all dead while i fought the boss

ornate abyss
#

bro why do I have icicles

#

brain burst is 1003094 times better??

#

and what are icicles

loud girder
#

hows psyker doing post patch?

#

any cookiecutter build i can have a look at?

#

havnt played in over a year

hearty dagger

->Longlas

#

Fatshark is trolling us

ornate abyss

I have a perfect voidstrike but that aint helping

#

gonna go back to veteran

loud girder
#

seriously?? 😐

#

holy

#

why so bad?

#

what are the top classes then atm?

feral verge
#

psyker is fine

jovial juniper
feral verge
#

psyker has been indirectly buffed

loud girder
#

i hope so, its my fav class

feral verge
#

it's most broken weapon has been buffed

ornate abyss
loud girder
feral verge
#

the broken weapon in question is voidstrike with surge and warp nexus

ornate abyss
#

aha

#

so it is good??+

loud girder
#

@feral vergegot a build for me to look at?

ornate abyss
#

but my melee weapon is bad

feral verge
#

1 min

loud girder
#

thanks

feral verge
# loud girder thanks

all the classes are doing fine this patch. shooters and ragers (not gunners) have been buffed, so everyone is struggling a little bit, coping with their new lethality

jovial juniper
feral verge
#

that said, if i had to pick a class, ogryn is struggling because they hae toughnes regen issues vs shooters

#

and shity dodges

ornate abyss
#

instead of bursting brains

jovial juniper
#

Yeah that's assail

fluid terrace
feral verge
#

you can run gunner resist instead of ability regen on curio

#

unstable power can be swapped with uncanny strike or executor on illisi

loud girder
#

aight im copying it now

feral verge
#

you can put carapace damage on voidstrike to give it oneshot potential on crushers

loud girder
#

any generic rotaiton / schtick i need to know about?

feral verge
#

wdym

#

like tactics/playstyle?

upper sun
marble crater
upper sun
#

WAIT

WAIT

ornate abyss
#

I am waiting

loud girder
#

because i NEVER played with shield

feral verge
loud girder
#

always gaze or shriek

upper sun
#

@feral verge EXPLAIN THIS

feral verge
#

i have it equipped for easy pathing

feral verge
upper sun
feral verge
#

which is having as many toughness regen methods on as possible

upper sun
#

go DD and pick up warp exp

plucky flax
upper sun
#

DD basket void

feral verge
#

spam lmb instead

#

the lmb spam is devastating

#

very under utilized

#

makes short work on most things that aren't maulers or crushers

#

plus suppresses everything

#

it's faster than charging rmb

#

i usually only save rmb for lined up clumps of elites/specials or maulers and crushers

upper sun
#

time to join a mission for 20 elite kills then dodge chadgryn

feral verge
#

the biggest general tip i can give is to dodge and slide dodge everywhere pretty much at all times

#

the best players, regardless of class, are dodging nearly 24/7

#

if you have the power di mod

#

you can see how many dodges you are doing

#

if you are doing like 250 or less a game, that's low

#

aim for 500 or more

#

depends on the match, but i dodge 700-1100 times a game

#

ofc, you have to dodge effectively. try not to run out of dodges

#

if you recall, many weapons have their own dodge limits, which regen over time

marble crater
feral verge
#

forcesword, at like over 51% mobility has 5 dodges

#

staves have 3

#

@loud girder

upper sun
#

reminder that event elite kills still count even if you leave the mission chadgryn

loud girder
#

thanks for the tips

feral verge
#

yw

fluid terrace
#

so the new mission kinda sucks right

upper sun
feral verge
#

try not to go below

jovial juniper
restive ice
jovial juniper
#

Just kinda lazy to search for the gif

hearty dagger
#

Honestly new mission feels nice in terms of pacing, ends just before it starts the "Oh my god this mission is taking so long" tier

tired estuary
#

People split up in really bad ways on the opening part still lol

upper sun
#

uhhhh 🤓 ragers a real threat now the change is very good 🤓

#

bruh dodge backwards and SHOOT

tired estuary
#

die near a ledge surrounded by barrels and specialists with spawn points on both sides, ping location on yourself, d/c

upper sun
#

theres less gameplay now

hearty dagger
#

Darktide players when the objective requires you to rapidly react to a timed objective
"guys come here let's hold out in the corner"

upper sun
#

path of least resistance

jovial juniper
#

Next patch, less Ragers on a pack

hearty dagger
#

God, Carnival made me lose my fucking mind before the change

upper sun
#

🙄

analog agate
#

Great for a team that can move well/kill gunners. Reminds me of certain parts of the Hourglass maps

hearty dagger
#

People kept going to the entry corridor because "guys it's a good spot"

upper sun
#

they were fine in the patch before

hearty dagger
#

Without exception, every last one of those missions ended up failing

upper sun
#

try upstairs

#

or the hallway protected by the truck

hearty dagger
#

Mainly because as it turns out, when you don't close the doors, you end up getting blocked way in that corridor and the second you get out, you have like 20 gunners standing there like "'Ello Karker!"

upper sun
#

just let zealots and ogryn open doors

#

thats what ive been doing

#

unironically if they wanna keep gunners this fucking stupid they gotta remove ALL player suppression

jovial juniper
#

Ngl I feel safer outside of those tunnels, but you know, that's just me

hearty dagger
#

Honestly hilarious whenever people forget they have melee weapons.

#

Always funny to see a Vet die because he decided melee isn't a thing in the game and a Psyker do a full ass Smite/Shriek rotation on a singular poxwalker

upper sun
#

why should i ever use a melee when i have a big massive CIAG

hearty dagger
#

Very simple reason

#

You can smack the heretic out of them

upper sun
#

man

hearty dagger
#

Plus blocking is very useful, more people should do it

upper sun
#

i had my entire team die more than once to poxies

#

and somehow by the grace of god we made it to the end event in consignment yard

hearty dagger
#

Bruh

#

What happened next

upper sun
#

like they were good players they shot very accurately and dodged/pushed well

hearty dagger
#

But lost their braincells the second poxies showed up?

upper sun
#

but no idea how to melee and they just refused to join me when i got poxburstered into the arena in the final room

#

so everyone died to a disabler in one corner

hearty dagger
#

goddamn

#

Also, very hilarious thing whenever you get dogged

#

For some reason, everyone's Q buttons get jammed

#

So do 1 and 2

#

And they instantly get swapped to Melee

upper sun
#

so tru

hearty dagger
#

I have fucking died to dogs

#

Because the Veteran who shoots everything in sight decided to conserve ammo

upper sun
#

also happens when you're at 100% peril

#

yeah idk ive pulled some godly swaps and ive almost broken my keyboard trying to swap weapons

hearty dagger
#

Everytime i hit 100% peril

#

My ISP decides "nah this mf not getting a downless run"

#

And i suddenly rubberband back to assail

#

Thank god i have recently swapped to an even more schizophrenic build

#

Brain Rupture/Disrupt Destiny

#

I can now confound the entire team by brain rupturing seemingly random targets

upper sun
#

nah

#

assail and surge staff are just not safe to use

#

trauma has never EVER killed me once

#

but surge and assail

hearty dagger
#

Yeah

upper sun
#

same for brainburst actually

hearty dagger
#

Brainburst is a fickle mistress

upper sun
#

even if i edge it and cast it at like 89 or higher

#

safe cast is like 95 right?

hearty dagger
#

Dunno

#

I just cast it again after i feel like i'm at a safe threshold

#

Sometimes 80 sometimes 99

#

Haven't blown up because of it yet

#

Honestly the one time BB has gotten me fucked up is when rapid-bursting and teammates keep nicking targets

#

But i don't notice so i think i'm safe but no

#

I'm not

#

Also, playing as melee psyker makes me get pissed off way more than usual for some reason

#

Since for some reason, people think "oh noes, enemies near psyker?! must kill!"

#

I shit you not, a rando fucking died because he was too busy shooting at enemies that i was currently caving in the craniums of instead of clearing the shit he had on himself

#

I may be a glass cannon, but you see, i know how to use my right click properly and know that i can simply stagger any ragers that come over to me

upper sun
#

brainburst is love

#

its so good

#

im ashamed to say i didnt play it much because it was the psyker default blitz

hearty dagger
#

Back in my day i could brainburst mid horde clear

#

Poxwalkers surrounding me?

upper sun
#

and the unpgraded one is so fucking bad its unreal

hearty dagger
#

Ragers putting their axes up my ass?

#

No excuse not to blow that trapper's mind

upper sun
#

i wish i could play BB more but trauma staff/surge staff have no room for its upgrade

hearty dagger
#

The most on-character thing in that clip is

#

The Smiteker only smiting the enemies after the crusher up your ass is dead

upper sun
#

burster at the end

hearty dagger
#

God.

#

Smitekers anger me on a fundamental level.

#

Thank fuck i have screamed enough about them that my friend who is currently new to smiteker has a perfect guide on what not to do

#

6 crushers about to send us back to the mourningstar in a singular bucket?

#

Smite

#

A single poxwalker on a walkway?

#

Don't smite

#

I swear to god Smitekers feel like stereotypical american cops sometimes

#

Heavily armed and armored guy? Just exercising his second amendment rights

#

A skinny, disheveled man who is the grown up version of coughing baby? STOP RESISTING

hardy raft
#

i wonder if psyker can run a auraless build

hearty dagger
#

wdym auraless?

hardy raft
#

his default ult is garbo though

hearty dagger
#

I get what you mean now

#

Probably not considering how hard psyker tends to rely on keystones and ults

upper sun
#

psyker has a default aura?

hearty dagger
#

mfw 5% more elite damage

#

I feel like the skill difference between smitekers is mainly because smiteker is such a one and done playstyle that they don't tend to actually do anything else

#

Always hilarious seeing a guy with a Deimos smiting a Plague Ogryn in abject terror instead of using his funny sword known for doing big damage.

upper sun
#

i got baited into playing smiker here once

#

insta kick

hearty dagger
#

I played smiteker for a while

#

I ended up apparently making half the population of the game blind apparently

#

BECAUSE NO ONE SHOOTS THE FUCKING SMITED GUYS.

#

I smite the ragers off of a zealot

#

AND WHAT DOES HE DO? FUCKS OFF TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP

analog agate
#

You don’t smite for others to kill. You smite so you kill with venting shriek

upper sun
#

@hearty dagger this is my only good instance of smite usage(i almost never use it)

quartz barn
#

Simply run ep smite so youll both stun and kill

#

No teammates needed thumbsup_ogryn

upper sun
#

🤔

#

lets do a 4psyker team

quartz barn
#

Just make sure to kill the specials so you keep your ep stacks to stay usefull

upper sun
#

2 smiters 2 brain burst

hearty dagger
quartz barn
#

I am on vacation so cant join

upper sun
#

its ok im done playing for the week

#

Would be fun to get 4 psykers from here in one team tho

analog agate
#

Well then you are running a bad smite build and of course you will be useless

upper sun
#

did weeklies on 2 chars+event

quartz barn
#

Regular smite "support" build = bad

hearty dagger
#

Brother really said if i don't use smite as my main damage i'm running a bad build

#

Ok Senator

quartz barn
#

I mean

analog agate
#

If you use smite a lot without venting… yeah it isn’t good haha

quartz barn
#

You complain about teammates not helping you out

#

But you shouldnt need them in the first place

hearty dagger
#

I'm not complaining about teammates not helping me out

#

I'm complaining that i help a teammate not eat shit and then he goes "ok your problem now"

quartz barn
#

Your shit now lmao

quartz barn
#

But ye this happens all the time

#

Im the complete opposite tho

upper sun
hearty dagger
quartz barn
#

Id much rather solo a side than have people come help me

upper sun
#

i was smiting like two gunners i said "hey please shoot these guys" and he was like lmaooooo kill em yourself

quartz barn
#

If someone comes to help me i just leave

upper sun
#

smite was not played after that

quartz barn
#

Because if im able to solo a section they should also be able to

hearty dagger
quartz barn
#

Ngl ive never had that issue

hearty dagger
#

Tbf i have extraordinarily terrible luck.

quartz barn
#

Because if the marked target dies something else instantly gets tagged afterwards

hearty dagger
#

I could buy every lottery ticket in existence and still not win jack shit

hearty dagger
#

Like target dies, i lose a stack and a half and then something gets marked

#

Might be latency tbh

quartz barn
#

Seems like your target was just really far away

#

Ran out, and then spawned closer

azure karma
#

skip right?

proud mantle
#

to this day i have no idea wht this does because of the wording

#

does this mean if an enemy dies TO soulblaze or just that an enemy dies and happened to have soulblaze on it

quartz barn
#

Dies to soulblaze

proud mantle
proud mantle
quartz barn
#

Pretty solid if paired with purgatus

#

Otherwise kinda meh

late sapphire
#

Pretty mid because it scales inversely with how good your team mates are

analog agate
#

It I still find even with purg the 4% random is more consistent

late sapphire
#

The % for teammate kills is the opposite, better the better your mates are

upper sun
#

purge is the best staff

analog agate
#

No. It is you or an ally

quartz barn
#

Its my least used staff :/

analog agate
#

So it is always 4%

Shoot the zealot whatthefuck_heresy

I miss the vt2 friendly fire

quartz barn
#

Why am i on fire? Sienna?

hearty dagger
#

So in total it's a 16%

#

Plus people dying to soulblaze is rare to say the least

analog agate
#

Yeah, I don’t want to depend on a dot to decide my charges

#

It was more fine when we weren’t so op before patch 13

#

Then again… it was very easy to always have 6 at that point

hearty dagger
#

tbf before patch 13 kinetic flayer actually had a point

#

Also we had Cerebral Hemmorhaging.

#

Where is my Cerebral Hemmorhaging, Fatshark?

upper sun
#

what did those do?

hearty dagger
#

Cerebral Hemmorhaging would make the target of your BB take more damage after being hit with it

#

Basically Enfeeble but actually useful since you're still contributing.

upper sun
#

sounds mid and only useful on bosses

hearty dagger
#

Yes, but it was still useful

#

Unlike a current smite node which may as well not exist

#

Why yes, let me sacrifice my mobility and damage for the sake of adding 10% more damage to everything my team does

#

CH at least added some further utility to BB, which was if you used it for monstrosity damage, you were straight up helping everyone else by increasing their damage as well

upper sun
#

🤔 should i spend 5k plasteel trying to get bleed for boltpistol?

jovial juniper
#

Yes, bleed is mid

I have another one with better perks and blessings but the stats are worse

I just realized have have 0 tier 1 or tier 2 blessings on trauma

Ye at this point pull brunt for 360+ and try to get a good roll on those

azure karma

damage and quell speed are still dump stats on purgatous right

jovial juniper
#

Damage is

#

And if you're going WS you'll go through Solidity, which means quell speed is fine

azure karma

whyn is it thta damage is the dump btw

upper sun

damage and warp res are dump stats

jovial juniper

honestly purg kinda slaps, but its annoying when there are gunners around

Am I tripping or solidity used to be 50% ?

#

@austere crest you rq?

weak sapphire
#

I swear it** feels** like they nerfed the Psyker somehow. Either it's the Assail, the peril generation, or the Empowered Psionics, but I can't find any information.

Suddenly, I have to work hard to quell Peril, and the damage feels low. The strange part is that I started experiencing this a day ago, not on the patch day.

I wonder if all the stuttering and lag have something to do with it, like they're preventing the passives from triggering regularly or something.

#

Has anyone experienced something similar, or should I just go back under my rock?
