psyker-class

[viscid heath]

I don't know what's meta for maelstrom or bis in general

[ornate hamlet]

I like uhhh I think 3 toughness curios and 2 toughness nodes

My comfortable toughness is 170

[timid grove]

How much does Perils of the Warp do? (the suicide explosion for hitting 100 peril)

[ornate hamlet]

Jack shit

[timid grove]

yeah i know but there's a penance to kill an elite with it

[ornate hamlet]

I think it's like 400 or 800

Kill yourself (in Darktide) in the psykhanium to test

[timid grove]

[rich spindle]

That build is perfectly usable. For the surge staff, when you pick carapace damage you are getting a buff against only crushers. Most people pick flak instead

[timid grove]

don't one of the ragers and maulers have carapace?

[viscid heath]

Hmmm

[ornate hamlet]

Maulers yes

I think the explosion does body damage

[rich spindle]

RMB on surge always hits the chest, which is flak on maulers

[ornate hamlet]

For non-weakspot stuff like surge, trauma, purgatus and whatever else, flak is a lot of the enemies

Which includes dreg gunners and maulers

[timid grove]

oh i have no idea what ur talking about lol ignore me

ive only used like two staves (flamethrower and trauma)

[rich spindle]

I would also drop wildfire for empathetic evasion

[viscid heath]

Interesting, okay I'll give it a shot

[rich spindle]

You will proc if pretty often with surge staff

[ornate hamlet]

Wildfire, if the description mod is accurate, is unironically dog shit

[rich spindle]

Most people using surge also run Mettle at the top of the tree as well, maybe try removing one of the smire upgrades for it

[ornate hamlet]

The 4 stacks it spreads are really a total of 4 stacks

So at max you get 4 enemies with 1 stack each

[viscid heath]

Oh that's such crap

I never knew that

[viscid heath]

Alright I'll fiddle around and see what I can come up with

[ornate hamlet]

Provided the description mod is accurate, but it might as well be

[rich spindle]

Replacing one of the toughness curios with health will help you feel less squishy too

[ornate hamlet]

2 toughness and 1 health is a solid combo

I run 3 because I'm mostly used to avoidance and regen

Alternatively the player can just run 3 health perks

[buoyant maple]

It is

[rich spindle]

For your illisi sword, I am not a fan of deflector personally. You can dodge ranged fire by sliding, or just tank it by spamming your surge staff and regenning toughness

Slaughterer will help you much more when a horde of trash is right in your face

[ornate hamlet]

I actually sort of regret locking ability regen because I don't use my ability nearly as often to warrant the cooldown

So my curios would just be TTT with TH on the perks and the third slot for YOLO stuff

Snipers is a solid one because apparently the resistance protects the health damage from it

[timid grove]

yea snieprs r dedly

catch u off guard ... boom....

[ornate hamlet]

And you don't have a stellar amount of it base

I'm not sure if flamers is the same because I first heard the sniper one recently on a thread

[rich spindle]

I would also change infensted to maniac, killing muties with the illisi is kind of slow and sucks up vital time when youre in a bad spot

[potent echo]

I changed from sniper res to CDR recently

[buoyant maple]

U just need 200+ health and 20% sniper resist

[potent echo]

I also don't take stam regen on psyker anymore, not really needed

[lethal lagoon]

Ignore like half the advice you just got. Your surge is good and so is your build for an EP smite/shriek build.

The question is though, are you playing the build right?

It's the most faceroll braindead build in the game.

You get an EP stack, use EP smite till 85% shriek, keep holding smite, repeat.

The surge staff has carpace and unyielding cause that's what EP smite doesn't kill as well.

You should be using EP smite like 60-80% on that build, if you aren't, you might wanna switch to a more surge focused build

[ornate hamlet]

Stamina regen is unnecessary for psyker

The lowest delay means you have essentially no push downtime

[viscid heath]

Hmmm

[lethal lagoon]

If you want a more surge focused build, switch carpace to flak and run something like this;

[viscid heath]

Okay thanks a lot

[hollow current]

neat, ill stash that.

[timid grove]

65 damage 🤢

[hollow current]

3% damage difference lmao.

[late night]

Is this with right click or left click smite

Bc after shriek, if it’s right click smite you need to charge it right

[lethal lagoon]

The point of shriek is that it extends the cast.

"keep holding"

[late night]

Like without having to recharge?

[lethal lagoon]

Continuous braincell loss is acquired with the addition of shriek, yes.

[potent echo]

Yea don't let go of smite

[late night]

Gotcha

[lethal lagoon]

And the creeping flames from the shriek will hit some breakpoints/stack onto PC.

You'll kill a rager, whether it's 1 or 100 in about 8 seconds.

When you are dpsing the entire map basically, that multiplies like crazy.

It's a completely broken combo.

[ornate hamlet]

what infinite cleave do to a mf

[lethal lagoon]

infinite cleave with functionally infinite range.

[strong gulch]

I have my ability button on my mouse, so I can't maintain smite and shriek without breaking the cast. RIP

skill issue.

[lethal lagoon]

Unironically, that prevents a skill issue

Your brain cells are saved.

[broken carbon]

boom single dreg rager jumpscare from behind

my synapses with ep smite and fire shriek

[broken carbon]

EP smite, fire shriek, and blazing spirit trauma

peak

[lethal lagoon]

That's just a sin on your blaze trauma

[broken carbon]

sin on

ur mom

zinger!

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, she could use some money, greed wouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for the offer mate, I'll send you her paypal

[broken carbon]

wha

[lethal lagoon]

Man, people can really surprise you with their kindness.

[broken carbon]

i dont get it

[lethal lagoon]

Thank you friend.

Thank you.

[broken carbon]

how would sin be related to

ohhhh

sin

greed

i get it now

fuck u hadron go brick a powersword

[strong gulch]

Speaking of blaze trauma. I did EP BB with my blaze trauma. It was fine.

I def prefer purg with EP BB, but I wanted not purg.

[rich jolt]

Why do people clown on smite bubble?

Is there a stereotype attached to it?

[potent echo]

Hadron has a Paypal?

[rich jolt]

What?

[ornate hamlet]

Overly passive gameplay

Stay in the funny defense bubble using the funny stunlock ability

You don't move and neither does the enemy

Highly engaging

[analog agate]

At higher level gameplay support build is meh build

[rich jolt]

Oh ok so people are just whining

Got it

[analog agate]

Why support when you can kill

[rich jolt]

Smite does kill stuff though?

[analog agate]

It also leads to you depending on your team. Which is bad when doing pubs

[idle plover]

Ive never met anyone complaining of smite/bubble ingame

[rich jolt]

I did yesterday

[idle plover]

I always figured people like smite psyker letting them go melee horde freely

[rich jolt]

I use smite kind of like a melee tool

[analog agate]

Regular smite doesn’t really kill. EP smite kinda kills. And by this I mean, kills when it counts. Killing something by sitting there for 10-20 sec isn’t good

[rich jolt]

Zap them melee a few times zap repeat

[idle plover]

I always run my smite psyker with ep

[rich jolt]

Still killing stuff

And you stun the entire horde

[idle plover]

I havent used warp siphon at all

[rich jolt]

They cant do shit

Id hardly call that weak

[upper galleon]

EP smite kills everything up to ragers in 8 seconds

Faster if you apply a high peril venting shriek and PC starts proccing

[analog agate]

He is talking about smite with bubble though

[upper galleon]

Once PC starts proccing, maulers start melting down

True

[rich jolt]

I am

[ornate hamlet]

If you want active brainrot, I got you covered

[upper galleon]

Bubble smite sucks

[hardy raft]

"the tempo is slow"

[rich jolt]

I disagree

[upper galleon]

Try EP plus double walls shield with BR

[idle plover]

Bubble assail

[ornate hamlet]

EP is for nerds

[hardy raft]

bubble smite is probably you want assail but need the cooldown talent

[upper galleon]

Good for you

[idle plover]

[rich jolt]

Ok?

That sounded very passive aggressive

[upper galleon]

Keep playing bubble smite and fatshark will buff it again

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/how-bro-felt-after-writing-that-how-bro-felt-alpha-wolf-alpha-alpha-meme-gif-307456636039877895

[upper galleon]

[upper galleon]

It was

[rich jolt]

Rude

[upper galleon]

Im being honest

[rich jolt]

Youre being a meany head

[idle plover]

I wonder could i make assail warp siphon work

[analog agate]

He is meaning you are wrong haha. Smite + bubble does suck in terms of actually helping your team in auric/mael

[rich jolt]

Ive found that to be the complete opposite

[upper galleon]

We all know bubble smite is the reason smite got buffed and is mass clearing everything

Better to go void shield

Or BR double walls

[rich jolt]

Ive played with psykers running smite bubble and it drastically increases everyones life expectancy

[upper galleon]

Or gunker shield

It can also trap people and bait them in a bad position

[cosmic sigil]

if i wanted to do recon + scryer gaze, what should i chose? Mark and blessings-wise

[idle plover]

I have infernus and dum dum on one

[broken carbon]

ur gonna wanna take one of the recon lasguns with scriers gaze

[upper galleon]

If the enemy gun count gets too high the shield will break and if your in a bad spot that is a death sentence

[idle plover]

Infernus headhunter on another

[hardy raft]

it was?

[broken carbon]

i think headhunter is better

[upper galleon]

Not exactly but it’s the theory

[cosmic sigil]

does scryer + dd compensate the lack of hh?

[broken carbon]

the main things you’ll want are mettle, empathetic evasion, and probably disrupt destiny? although you could also do EP

[cosmic sigil]

and scryer is mark agnostic?

[broken carbon]

wha

[upper galleon]

Before the EP smite buff, damage smite was already a thing cause of venting shriek and PC, you’d go EP or warp charges

[cosmic sigil]

you said: ''ur gonna wanna take one of the recon lasguns with scriers gaze''

[upper galleon]

And if you wanted smite shield, the best build was void or trauma, shield and warp charges

[cosmic sigil]

there are 3 marks

[broken carbon]

oh yeah i was just being stupid lmfao

[upper galleon]

The theory is that too many people were going ep smite shield and throwing the winrate down the drain

[broken carbon]

i don’t really know which exact mark

[cosmic sigil]

i was assuming infernus on 6d and dumdum + hh on others

[broken carbon]

all 3 are viable

[upper galleon]

That it made fatshark think smite needed buffs

[cosmic sigil]

assuming they care about global winrate

[upper galleon]

And now smite kills everything up to maulers in a massive radius

[potent echo]

Give a psyker a smite buff and they'll still whine about it

[upper galleon]

Outside of playtesters they do imo

[analog agate]

Who would run smite and trauma? Oh right, a ton of randos I play with in pubs haha

[broken carbon]

give a mouse a cookie

[lethal lagoon]

Scoreboard exists because they already track much of that data.

So balance changes are likely impacted by data, yes.

[upper galleon]

Snite shield charges played mostly with the staff

[cosmic sigil]

ohhhh true

[hardy raft]

sometimes it was barely for certain stuff but it did kill, thought fatshark just got bored and decide to change thay

[lethal lagoon]

Like if EP smite bubblers consistently do low damage in losing games.

[upper galleon]

It was basically a staff build

[lethal lagoon]

Then it's more likely to get a buff

Stuff like that.

[upper galleon]

Smite is a lot like combat blade

[broken carbon]

stupid and dumb

[upper galleon]

It’s a very good thing now when it’s used correctly but you’ll still find no shortage of idiots running something like haymaker lacerate on mk3

[hardy raft]

lacerate knife

[potent echo]

How shocking

[analog agate]

I still am going to argue smite is only good with venting shriek 🤷‍♂️

[lethal lagoon]

"shocking"

[potent echo]

To think that Jim bob 90k is influencing the balance

[lethal lagoon]

Yep, so next patch damage is now 300%

[upper galleon]

It is lol

There is like, one small group of non ep shriek smiters

But they are basically just staff mains

[rich jolt]

Me

[upper galleon]

Who have smite in their back pocket

[hardy raft]

tbh pocket smite > pocket BB

[analog agate]

I do think VS will get a nerf in the next major update. I know some of the playtesters want that

[rich jolt]

This emoji is so crusty and nasty

[lethal lagoon]

Rude

[rich jolt]

Its like the personification of a morning eye booger

[lethal lagoon]

Hurtful

[potent echo]

It reflects his inner taint

[lethal lagoon]

Don't be talking about my taint or I'll be getting the mods.

[idle plover]

I love smite but i can murder my way through maulers and hordes with my mk v dueling sword and revolver

[lethal lagoon]

Guistraining Border

[cosmic sigil]

you mean telopot

[analog agate]

No, even on here there were a couple of playtesters (some creators of ogrynomicon) talking about it

[cosmic sigil]

nice, ogryn players wanting to nerf psykers because they must have all the good stuff lmao

[ornate hamlet]

EP smite, more like peepee smite

[analog agate]

They playtest psykers too

[ancient ivy]

what about me?

[ornate hamlet]

tbh I just got done with a match spamming fire shriek and it doesn't really seem to do much that a purgatus won't do

[cosmic sigil]

i have no idea how you can nerf vs without gutting it entirely

[cosmic sigil]

you there

wanting to emasculate psykers!

[latent gorge]

any tips on beginner psykers? I only got to like Trust 7

[cosmic sigil]

use assail until lvl30

don't bother with staffs before

[ornate hamlet]

Like, it's a great ability and it tags a lot of enemies with DoT, but it's not nearly on the same level of brainrot as EP smite

[ancient ivy]

assail trivializes the level up process. Fuckbusted at low levels.

[cosmic sigil]

and don't bother crafting and upgrading

[ornate hamlet]

Making smite deal any damage was a mistake

At least shriek's damage is not "compensated" by a stunlock

[latent gorge]

So no staffs and assail, got it

[ancient ivy]

why would I want that?

[cosmic sigil]

also, use that time to learn how to move and position yourself

[cosmic sigil]

i was kidding

[ancient ivy]

oh good then you're not on to me yet

[cosmic sigil]

but i wonder if there's any dedicated psyker play tester

[quartz barn]

Smite without dmg is a joke

[cosmic sigil]

from what i see it's ogryns, vet and zealot mostly

[brazen rampart]

Buff smite.

[quartz barn]

Concept is there, too bad its the only ability where someone else actively has to come help out

[brazen rampart]

Nerf shriek.

[ancient ivy]

Most of the testers play everything.

[cosmic sigil]

ep smite is 400 dmg

problem solved

[quartz barn]

You run shriek with ep smite tho

[analog agate]

Crab was talking about it a lot for patch 13 even though he wasn’t a pure psyker playtester

[quartz barn]

Not for dmg but smite extention

[cosmic sigil]

i play everything, a lot and on auric / mael, but i do not consider myself a psyker or ogryn main. My zealot or vet knowledge is above.

that's what i meant by dedicated

[latent gorge]

do I just follow any Assail Build for my skill tree?

[analog agate]

For leveling?

[latent gorge]

yep!

[ancient ivy]

I wouldnt worry too much about it. We have some real knowledgeable folks regarding every topic the game has

[cosmic sigil]

[stiff falcon]

Most things should be nerfed

Void, trauma, ep smite

[potent echo]

Shriek?

[stiff falcon]

No idea why they thought buffing ep was necessary

Shriek just allows you to dot elites

[potent echo]

Shriek also kills all shooters through walls, covers

[stiff falcon]

Shield needs to be buffed

[potent echo]

Can just eliminate an entire room

[stiff falcon]

They can’t fix that

Lol

[cosmic sigil]

i do love seeing a hidden sniper killed by my shriekd 10s after venting

[potent echo]

Make it 5 stacks instead and complete gut it

[stiff falcon]

Trauma needs a buff and a nerf

Stairs hard countering a weapon is stupid

[potent echo]

Trauma just can't have infinite stagger

[stiff falcon]

Stairs hard counter dodges

I love this game

[potent echo]

Stairs or some train tracks

Nurgle blessed infrastructure

I've started to get bugs where you mantle something but continue flying upwards for awhile

[stiff falcon]

Consignment yard, from the first drop down, you can instantly be killed because there’s 4 things sticking out of the ground

Instantly pulls you out of a dodge

[potent echo]

I got punished plenty of times in the train tunnels for thinking you can dodge something like you did 1100times before

[split lance]

bad forecast bad

[stiff falcon]

Indeed

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/feel-me-think-about-it-meme-gif-7715402

If you use smite you don't have to dodge

[hot needle]

new to the game and psyker is my first operative, what should my first blitz be? im currently using assail but the lightning looks fun too

[stiff falcon]

Assail

[lyric burrow]

assail is probably the best option

very strong blitz on its own and not too hard to use + many use cases

[dark swift]

This worth 3k melk bux?

the blessings and rating alone make me really wanna get it lol

[hollow current]

if you want a good purg that's an easy buy. make the perks whatever you want.

[dark swift]

took it!

[lethal lagoon]

Successfully baited, that Purg has a fatal flaw.

[rich jolt]

It's bricked

Unusable

Give it to me

[dense valley]

Deathspitter or Dumdum my psykkas

[stone forum]

basically a god roll burn staff so yeah a good buy

[potent echo]

Headhunter

But dumdum also good

[low parcel]

anybody have advice for this penance, its my last one for psyker and its giving me the most trouble for some reason.

[potent echo]

Battle meditation, melee weapon, brrrr

Or now you have double barrel shotgun

[strong gulch]

Harder difficulties have higher enemy density. Do maps that have hallways or the enemies are less spread out. Take battle mediation.

People have done it with guns, melee, and even staves.

There is a bit of RNG to it tho.

[low parcel]

👍 will give it a go ty

[lethal lagoon]

Illusis, run into a horde

Purg is also an option.

For me, I just dumped a columbus into a enemy crowd like I always do.

PC is a thing after all

[potent echo]

Preferably you are away from your team so you have a chunky horde to yourself

[strong gulch]

Void with transfer peril and battle meditation talent is also a staff option.

[lethal lagoon]

Or just dive bomb forward with complete abandon and then panic run back after SG is over.

[mellow dock]

Guys what blessings do i want on the macab 4?

[lethal lagoon]

I spent a good minute thinking wtf is a macab. typically it's ds4, dueling 4, dueling sword 4, etc.

So uncanny is the required one.

The other one is more variable, but typically you want some form of crit chance, so shred or riposte.

Some swear by pre-cog but that's fairly unpopular. Rampage is okay too depending on how you use the weapon.

For perks you want maniacs and then it's dealer choice based on what targets you are using it on.

[idle plover]

Uncanny strike and riposte have worked for me

[lethal lagoon]

Some just outright call it mk4, because it's that popular.

[potent echo]

Macaques 4

Where those monkey gifs

[lethal lagoon]

Isn't that a fairly serious french swear word, or is it casual?

Oh it's those cute little monkies in japan

You can bookmark a whole series of tabs, which I've done frequently, but I never got around to these ones.

Saw that obscurus fs got a buff, how is it? Worth taking over deimos?

[vestal fulcrum]

No, but at least it’s not garbage anymore

If you want Deimos without the obscene impact on H2, it’s a “sidegrade”, but otherwise it still loses a bit in the damage department

[idle aurora]

Gotcha, ty

[vestal fulcrum]

And its anti-horde attack combo require you to block cancel after L1 -> H2

woe upon ye

[stable hare]

what to do with the first one? Got this right now.

[hardy raft]

throw it away i guess

[quartz barn]

Why put maniac on gun when you mostly use melee vs maniacs?

[hardy raft]

tbh idk how to deal with mk5

[quartz barn]

Would up uncanny to 4, carapace perk can be whatever you pref

Either get cara 4 or just crit

Mk5 is kinda niche tho, used it for a long time but mk4 just outperforms

[brazen rampart]

am psyker
am squishy
dreg ragers are maniacs
dreg ragers are walking blenders
dreg ragers spawn up to 12 at a time

Gun removes like 5-6 of them before they can touch you.

[quartz barn]

My point is that i dont think thats worth it vs overall dmg from crit

And melee heavy > special or just heavy alone should oneshot anyway

Altough i guess with accatran you can just freely dump in hordes because large ammo reserves

get quell on kill talents and maybe ask the team to let you solo a wave

[brazen rampart]

Use something with good headshot damage as a melee weapon or mag dump at head level with a ciag.

[jovial juniper]

Weapons with cleave

[vernal temple]

never seen a weapon with such a perfect point distribution

[jovial juniper]

So, Aiag, recon 7a, most melees (XIIIg is good but doesn't have access to Exorcist)

[strong gulch]

Harder difficulties have higher enemy density. Do maps that have hallways or where the enemies are less spread out. Take battle mediation.

People have done it with guns, melee, and even staves (like void with tranfer peril and purg). Force weapons and staves let's you prolong scriers with quelling.

There is a bit of RNG to it tho.

If you can catch a horde alone, that would ideal.

[lunar hollow]

you can also blow up a poxburster in a horde of poxwalkers with scriers active and itll count

[strong gulch]

Noice. Wait for that. Nice payoff.

[broken carbon]

illisi force sword

is how i got mine

[lyric burrow]

I just got it with purge

[upper sun]

I found 20 euro on the way today which means

IM GONNA ROLL SOMETHING

exactly

thanks hadron

[wild night]

It's over.

[marble crater]

It means your luck is gone, why roll

[upper sun]

i needed to know the limits

[midnight jolt]

yeah, you reached the luck climax with that 20 euros find 😂

[upper sun]

damn i should have been minmaxxing luck instead of preception 😭

[eager token]

obese megalodon pls buff bolt pistol and nerf revolver i beg

[fiery wigeon]

the classic blunder

[fresh reef]

What would you guys say is the least used Psyker ability?

[upper galleon]

BR by being niche, scrier's for separate niche?

[fresh reef]

I meant just the 4 combat abilities

Between Shriek, Scrier's, Wall, and Dome

[jovial juniper]

It should be Scrier's, I rarely see Gunkers

Of course that would be some sort of perception bias but whatever right

[upper galleon]

scrier's or wall probably

tho i count wall/dome as one

tbh

[hardy raft]

tbh wierd that guns are like 70% of psyker ranged while gunker is like 10%

[jovial juniper]

Revolvers doesn't feel enough
Iags are okay but you have to choose between recoil/damage/ammo
Recons felt bad until recently
Vraks aren't that popular
InfantryLas are on a weird spot
Not enough data on DB/Bistol

[upper sun]

I choose CAIG

always

forever best feelling iag by far

[jovial juniper]

Dog shit recoil pattern

[upper sun]

im better with caig than agri tbh

like

the range you can hip fire vs ads is far lower on agri

play a game on one then go to the other an youll feel it

[dark swift]

Should I scrap this for blessing or keep it if I don't have a force sword?

[upper sun]

do you have another illisi?

[dark swift]

no

[upper sun]

keep it for now

[dark swift]

I use dueling swords

[upper sun]

executor is best paired with uncanny on a deimos

or if you're good at landing melee weakpoints illisi but still not as good as slaughter

surrendering a weapon to hadron is a lot like suicide

kind of a final thing so make sure your affairs are in order

[jovial juniper]

[upper galleon]

Because most people who pick psyker do it for magic powers not ranged boosts

[jovial juniper]

Wizard with a firearm us such a cool concept though

[upper sun]

run game
2 minutes until scab melee ends

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FATSHARK PLEASE PLEASE

[jovial juniper]

Although the best depiction of it rn is the Laspistol shove

[upper sun]

bro this is sad

can we have more than one maelstrom?

[vagrant furnace]

Lmb on surge/trauma is underrated, not counting voidstrike because obviously charged shot is better - does decent damage, good suppression, doesnt interfere with ammo economy

[jovial juniper]

Honestly you don't need to bring up ammo economy when talking about staff

[vagrant furnace]

I mean sure but you still can ease on your teamates ammo comsuption if you take out some lines of ranged with lmb here and there

[ornate hamlet]

Funny ball suppression is fun

I hit nothing because it's shit to aim, but I still stop everything within a mile

[dark swift]

scrap or keep? trying out chainsword for psyker

[fiery wigeon]

yeah idk whats up with that

[jovial juniper]

It has Rampage and Flak, viable

[upper sun]

@plucky flax

[fiery wigeon]

how u even get to 2 wounds

i thought it was 3 default

[upper sun]

im assuming they only took the wounds from the tree

[upper sun]

heresy+ is two wounds for humans 3 for ogryn

[fiery wigeon]

ic

[plucky flax]

It's cringe af.

[ornate hamlet]

Marty with 2 wounds is brave

[cosmic sigil]

marty is cringe

[ornate hamlet]

It takes the one keystone that provides mildly better performance than inexorable gaming, applies it to melee only and ties it to you forgoing most potential toughness and health

Truly a feat of enlightenment

And then that one zealot with 15 easy stacks of momentum just pulls out an automatic weapon and dumps the magazine in 2 seconds

[plucky flax]

Martyrdom >>> momentum. Especially post nerf.

It was already stronger pre nerf.

Big attack speed big damage.

Unlimited hp.

[jovial juniper]

Martyrdom slander smh my head

[fiery wigeon]

martyrdom is neat

dunno if thats enough reward for the amount of risk

[calm sapphire]

martyrdom is godly since u never really need to rely on med station to keep yourself going since holy rev will keep u topped up once u get used to the flow of things.

[vernal temple]

"MCMLXXVII" on the handguard.

The numbers, what do they mean?

[ornate hamlet]

Read it out loud

[ornate hamlet]

Nerd ahh mf

[stiff falcon]

Cringe

[fiery wigeon]

ic

yeah thats pretty based

[eager token]

where’s the naked mod

[buoyant maple]

1977

[cosmic sigil]

MCMLXXVII = M + (M - C) + L + X + X + V + I + I
MCMLXXVII = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1
MCMLXXVII = 1977

private joke?

[quick python]

make it yourself

[hexed geyser]

Ok now i'm really waiting for the crafting update

[austere crest]

lmb on staves is the most underutilized weapon in the game i think. i've been maining it for months, it's so good

[fiery wigeon]

its not very good at hitting things but its pretty solid when it does

[mellow dock]

which is the best staff atm?

[glacial mortar]

prob voidstrike though they're all mostly trying to do different things

[late sapphire]

I'm pretty sure the lmb on surge has higher dps than the rmb

[glacial mortar]

don't really think it's really fitting to compare a purgatus and a voidstrike given they're not really competing, just tools for different jobs

[late sapphire]

columnus mark 5

[supple dock]

martyrdom sucks ass

can't stack stamina on it

literally useless

[glacial mortar]

who needs stamina, also wrong chat

[strong gulch]

All of them are good. Void is probably the highest damage, but each staff has its own thing going for it. If you suck at aiming tho, voidstrike might not be the best fit.

[fiery wigeon]

i like the lightning one

surge?

[strong gulch]

Yup. That's the lightening one,

[stiff falcon]

Honestly based

[glacial mortar]

yeah I guess that's fair, I do wish more of the psykers staffs had a aim skill component to them

as most of the actual psyker weapons are pretty limp in that department

[strong gulch]

LMB for most of them tho.

[late sapphire]

if you're not using surge lmb you're sleeping

[strong gulch]

but also yes

[glacial mortar]

true, though it's not really the primary identity of the staff

[strong gulch]

People have been asking for a real single target stave for a long time.

[hexed geyser]

I honestly like surge more because of its freedom of movement compared to other staves, like void

[late sapphire]

bolt/beam staff someday™️

[glacial mortar]

maybe beam staff when the melta gun finally gets added (aka never)

we know they take some inspiration from the ttrpgs and in dh2e at least there was a melta type psyker power

dope stuff

[strong gulch]

I can be much more squirrelly on the other staves compared to void. That's one of the reasons why I don't like the void staff. Personal pref tho.

[fiery wigeon]

is voidstrike like a fireball or a bolt

[glacial mortar]

uhhhh sorta both

there is a small amount of aoe to it

[hexed geyser]

firebolt

[glacial mortar]

but its more a precision headshot weapon

[fiery wigeon]

ic

[glacial mortar]

mobility is definitely is weakest point though nothing beats hitting your crit and deleting something

or hitting that long distance shot on moving targets

it's one of the weapons where the oversized head hitbox actually feels fair

[ornate hamlet]

I do wish it was a teensy bit less awkward to hit headshots with it

[glacial mortar]

aim higher

like the revolver, enemy head hitboxes are huge with it

I have no idea why

for the revolver at least

[ornate hamlet]

I do

[glacial mortar]

you can "miss" and still.. oh

just blame it on lag >:) that's what I'd do

also boo, you can't emote react or even use other server emotes in here

[fiery wigeon]

you need the convict roll for reacting

p sure its activity based

[strong gulch]

There's sometimes and issue when someone's name is still grey when it shouldn't be. I don't see the new comer leaf.

[fiery wigeon]

yea

and ive still got leaf lol

[strong gulch]

Might be worth asking a mod.

[fiery wigeon]

i should take another shot at voidstrike but the ease of use of surge was incredibly appealing

[spice veldt]

it's message-based i believe
but has issues if you left and rejoined the server

[strong gulch]

It rewards you for really aggressive play too. Even without blitz cancel.

[glacial mortar]

how will I respond to things and convey my emotion without my tiny funny pictures??????????

AAA

[glacial mortar]

because I joined the server ages ago

but only literally now just left my first messages

so my actual activity is p low

[strong gulch]

Gotcha

[glacial mortar]

feels like quell cancelling the surge helps a lot but man is that mechanically super annoying to do

I guess it's just a habit thing that I've not built but having to actively think on it is waah

[frail harness]

I usually quick swap when using surge

[strong gulch]

Quell cancel LMB and blitz cancel the charge.

I can't blitz cancel lol. I don't switch well and them my keybinds make that too dificult.

[frail harness]

If I had a MMO mouse it'd be easier. I have Q as my weapon swap and I just double tap it when the RMB animation is on an enemy

[potent echo]

Blitz cancel feels nice I can smash 32 between surges

[frail harness]

Really only works when you're behind allies, but your DPS goes way up

[fiery wigeon]

i have c as my swap

q is my special

q for quell lol

[fiery wigeon]

these are words i do not fully understand

[strong gulch]

q is regular swap
tab is ranged swap
mouse scroll down is blitz switch

[frail harness]

You can fire the LMB bolt much faster if you tap quell in between each shot

[fiery wigeon]

pain

[frail harness]

Blitz cancel is using either blitz or swapping to melee to skip the animation of Surge and immediately get the damage

[fiery wigeon]

ah

pain

[frail harness]

Quell cancel is pretty easy tbh

You get into a rhythm

[fiery wigeon]

i dont even remember to do the anim cancels that half your reload time in drg

this is gonna be fun to learn

[frail harness]

The engi shotgun reload is burned into my brain

[fiery wigeon]

i got good at the m1k but never remember for warthog or lok1

[strong gulch]

I though the melee swap was patched out awhile ago.

[frail harness]

I quit playing for about a year and started again with the update - immediately animation cancelled without even realizing

The newer weapons like the Lok1 are less necessary imo

[fiery wigeon]

lok1's is as potent as warthog but the animation is decently short already

[strong gulch]

But yeah. You can get into a rhythm with LMB animation cancel. If you have access to mods, the full auto mod makes it easier.

But LMB/ primary is alreay pretty fast and isn't needed. It nice to be able to have as a tool tho.

[fiery wigeon]

that blitz cancel is insane

wow

i cant figure out what the quell cancel timing is though

i would use the heck out of the blitz cancel if i didnt need to immediately use the staff again cuz my equipment is shit and meets no breakpoints lol

[strong gulch]

The quell is what what cancels the animation. I think it's as the left hand pulls away. I can't picture it in my mind in full detail right now.

[austere crest]

It doesn't, it just benefits from the crit bonus of being a surge so it's stronger overall as the shooter pew pew pew

[late sapphire]

it can headshot so it does more than expected

shreds through dreg ragers at least

[strong gulch]

You can dish out some decent numbers with LMB spam. I've done most damage with silly LMB memes multiple times, but I wouldn't sub it for elite and special management for sweaty games.

LMB does surprisingly well on hordes as they run up to you.

[fiery wigeon]

^

can sub for assail in that aspect

[strong gulch]

Prime example of most damage with a poop build. 😂

Hadron making me commit to the dark terrible barrage timeline. Like fine, I'll use it.

[fiery wigeon]

voidstrike pierces???

im tryin it out in the meat grinder

that is quite nice

[supple dock]

Tnere was a discussion from it earlier, so's why I mentioned it :p

[glacial mortar]

ahhh I see I seee

[strong gulch]

It's got a lot of cleave. Not infinite, but a lot of it.

[fiery wigeon]

this is practically crowd clear if you spam partials

AND its got killer single target

immaculate

[strong gulch]

You're not grey. You can emote.

[fiery wigeon]

i see why people like this

[glacial mortar]

anybody know a fix for this?

[fiery wigeon]

oh that is brutal

[fresh reef]

happens on every map too

reinstalling didn't seem to do anything

[strong gulch]

oof wtf

[fresh reef]

though I haven't played unmodded yet

[fiery wigeon]

i thought discord was wigging out

that sucks

[fresh reef]

genuinely don't know what's causing this either

hasn't happened until like, a couple patches ago

[late sapphire]

try unmodded

[potent echo]

Fatshark dev had a workaround

[fresh reef]

I tried looking for that, but didn't see it pinned

there's a screenshot somewhere though

[potent echo]

@fresh reef

I did this and no more freezes

[fresh reef]

it was already set to false

[lethal lagoon]

I heard the stuttering goes away if you just play for a while

[fresh reef]

something to do with shader caching I guess?

trying a couple things at once atm by removing a few mods I don't use and turning off my standby list manager

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, I would at least try that before any fixes, or you might end up thinking something fixed it when it didn't, and you've now fucked your settings.

Unless you've already played a lot since this started happening.

[potent echo]

I don't think it's shader cache

Go view your darktide log

It's like in appdata

Be a little nerd

[fresh reef]

I can't read lua logs for shit lol

either way, something worked because no more stutters on modded

I'm guessing the standby list manager, since it seems to be a memory issue

also lowered my lighting quality from extreme to high, and the sharper shadows are oddly appealing

[lethal lagoon]

It's cause you played long enough and that was the last stutter

[fresh reef]

for sure for sure

[lethal lagoon]

[fresh reef]

that genuinely could be what it is, since I've been switching out Hunt Showdown and Darktide fairly often

only have so much space on my ssd

[lethal lagoon]

[fiery wigeon]

ive had issues like that on cod before getting a memory upgrade, actually

[fiery wigeon]

bro got yeeted

[crude cape]

man right side psyker with assail + scriers and a ds4 edging peril 💦 is so strong lmao

very easy to press assail 1 time too much and push yourself to overload but man once you get it down so fun

is there any gun with that build that feels better than the columnus iag?

thats what ive been using

[potent echo]

Ghost laspistol

Doesn't care about ranged fire or suppression

1v6 reapers

It's more relevant now because reapers learnt how to walk

[wind spruce]

Ghost is underrated imo

Every other blessing that isnt dum dum is kinda meh

No but if you don't need to farm blessings anymore they are kinda irrelevant

Greetings fellow explosions waiting to happen

Do y'all have any advice for trying to get the penance where I have to brain burst 4 elite/specialists in 12 seconds on heresy or higher?

[cosmic sigil]

what is the standby list manager?

i don't recall a mod named like that

[lethal lagoon]

They nerfed it to 4? That's surprising.

Run EP and 2 shields, and it'll be super easy.

Complete overkill really.

[upper sun]

just get the brainburst upgrade with either double wall or vent

[rich jolt]

No

But melk as is is going to become useless unless he gets changed to

[potent echo]

If I'm a little fatshark dev I'll put new red rarity and it only shows up on melk and emperor's gift, no you can't craft them

[lethal lagoon]

If I'm a fatshark dev, I'll add code that makes it impossible for older players to get get a BiS Red, and only newer players can get them.

[elder saddle]

Holy shit I fucken did it first try

[quartz barn]

Nice

Love how that penance inversely scales with your teammates skill

[stable hare]

Cleave damage is a useless dump stat on the mk IV dueling sword right?

[marble crater]

Pretty much, yes

[stable hare]

then between these two, i should keep the first and swap shred to T4?

[lavish glade]

Id keep first and put carapace tbh unless maniac is hitting some specific break point

[stable hare]

psyker codex guide on steam says only maniac/unyielding for perks

[marble crater]

If you like shred, use the second one, if you want to use something else with uncanny use the first

[stable hare]

how much worse is riposte than shred anyway

[lavish glade]

This is how i run mine

[marble crater]

They do the same thing, mostly depends on your playstyle really. I use riposte because I only use my dueling sword for muties, maulers and crushers. So I don't stack shred during a horde or something. Also why I run carapace instead of unyielding

[supple dock]

fuck that use the second one it has a higher base number

my pride disallows me to use anything else

(nah fuck that I hate shred)

[marble crater]

My best illisi is one with the lowest base stats, because it has 80 in the 3 damage stats, but low mobility and resistance

[supple dock]

as @marble crater said, they're basically the same thing. they add about the same dps and the only difference is that shred adds a skill expression and riposte doesn't need it lmao

[upper sun]

shred helps with lmb spam as well

[marble crater]

If you want to lmb spam your dueling sword run sciers and DD

Or DS2 at least

[upper sun]

bruh i am not gonna run another L1H2 clear weapon

[marble crater]

I just spam lights with it

The H2 is too weird for me to use

[quartz barn]

Most pref shred because riposte is inconsistant, especially when you mostly dodge slide

Wont register you dodging an attack because you're too far away

[ornate hamlet]

Riposte can suffer from you and/or your team being too good at times

Once I fought a horde that got slapped so hard, I didn't trigger riposte through its whole duration

Shooters in particular, I think, only trigger it when you dodge the first shot of their burst

I use it anyway because I use a light spam macro and shred will drop because I don't care and keep holding the attack button

[marble crater]

But in those situations you also don't need riposte, so it doesn't matter

[quartz barn]

Do you get much value out of unyielding over crit chance on ds4?

I assume unyielding has pref over crit because the crit is overkill most of the time but idk what difference it makes

[supple dock]

If you are a psyker brave enough to melee bosses

yeah unyielding has value over crit

if you are not

no it does not

[cosmic sigil]

You should dodge slide shooters and gunners, not really in melee. That's what I did for months after the game launched and let's just say that after I stopped I could do under 100hp damage taken in hi int...

[supple dock]

should dodge dee-

[quartz barn]

Ye ok so it just depends on your playstyle

In my case i rarely melee vs hordes and use melee for movement

But vs bosses i almost exclusively melee because staff vs bosses do no impactfull dmg

Unless i run gunker ofc

[supple dock]

that's where I'm at for psyker

I use mk3 knife tho

with unyielding

[ornate hamlet]

It's ironic because the consistent safety makes the player not proc the blessing and take longer to kill the enemy, which in turn puts them in danger for longer

It's a bit like the "I take wounds because I die" self-fulfilling prophecy

It's not, like, egregiously important that I riposte the poxwalker horde, but it's nice to get it done with faster

[supple dock]

semantics at that point

have that argument with yourself instead

'tis what I do

Gee, thanks Milk. I'll keep this until the crafting update

[midnight jolt]

I cameback but on Steam, I hated myself for making good progress on GamePass just to drop it, so starting all new,
I guess I need to get to Lv30 then make decent weapons until crafting update, just for the sake of having decent weapons

[vernal temple]

Or do you guys think I can "save" this somehow?

[hexed geyser]

Switch elite dmg to sprint eff and shred to whatever for the ultimate utility sword
But more seriously, block eff to flak/maniac and shred to slaughterer. Or deflector to blazing spirit for the funny fire sword

[vernal temple]

I replaced block eff. with flak, kept shred and added t4 Riposte, just to stack up that crit chance

[vernal temple]

I'd probably go with the 1st scenario, keep the blessings as is

[stable hare]

flak vs maniac, which do you think

[upper sun]

leave warp flurry you wont notice a difference between flurry 3 and 4 and esp on purge

Flak simply because more enemies have flak

how does the burn damage from purgatus work?

does it hit specific body parts?

i mean the flame can hit different parts i guess, but what about burn

or does it count their "body" for the damage type?

[quartz barn]

Uhh im not that deep in the soulblaze iceberg, but maybe @near wyvern knows

[stable hare]

Purgatus flames get hit markers so it must be hitting somewhere but the soulblaze part is something i need clarification on

Go to Sefoni, set Mauler ablaze

[plucky flax]

I'm on a special mission.

[jovial juniper]

"Oh but how do I know if I'm not hitting their limbs?"
Set bulwark ablaze, does it say unyielding? Good
Set Reaper ablaze, does it say flak? Good

[buoyant maple]

It hits enemies’ core

Usually it’s whatever the enemy torso’s Armor is

Dreg Gunner, even though we usually considered unarmored (because head is unarmored), has flak as core

Scab mauler is also flak core

Reaper is the only “weird” case here because he’s still unyielding core, even though he’s wearing a flak vest

Both shotgunners are flak core

[long wharf]

Body

All dots hit enemy bodies

[hardy raft]

neat

[long wharf]

Are you sure reapers are flak on body? I thought they were unyielding everywhere

[upper sun]

reapers are unyielding bodywise

center mass i mean

but the shoulder shit is carap i think and the chest armor is flak

[long wharf]

That's what I thought

[hardy raft]

reapers and bulwarks are the only enemy in the game that has like more than 2 armor types

[quartz barn]

Remember that theres a pinned imgur link that has a list of almost all enemies' armor types

Doesnt include twins or tox bomber, my guess is that twins are the same as regular bosses (ignoring shield weaknesses) and tox bomber is unarmored

[buoyant maple]

They wear flak vest but have unyielding as core

[buoyant maple]

can someone check if smite actually enables electrocution status for shock maul (high voltage blessing)

[thin finch]

didn't know this first perk, t'is nice

[unreal wasp]

Don't know how I feel about using it over Illisi where I'd be regenerating a lot of toughness but it works

Not sure if I'd use it in anything above Heresy, need my warp toughness crutch in higher difficulties

[thin finch]

Damn, I strtuggle with those 40 kills in scrier's gaze

[marble crater]

Who let Agent on a helicopter

[stable hare]

I did it with voidstrike staff pretty easily TBH. A long, narrow hallway and a horde is all you need. High-intesity + works wonders

i blasted a few straight shots towards a horde and got it easily

[thin finch]

I am always afraid of staves + scrier but let's do it this way

[stable hare]

true, i exploded a couple of times

[thin finch]

I commited to the bit and took every peril generation reduction node

I should be fine

[stable hare]

but i shot 2 shots then quell fully, then 1 shot then quell until i couldnt anymore

someone said you can do it with a good horde clearing melee weapon

but i have no input for that

[thin finch]

I tried with the illisi swept sword but failed

[hardy raft]

debuff indicator shows both for smite and surge so go wild

[buoyant maple]

[thin finch]

it does

I tried when I saw it 😄

[buoyant maple]

[plucky flax]

I'm on a special mission

[midnight jolt]

😂

I'm back to the grind, but this time to stay I guess, I was not too keen to stay with GamePass version

[quartz barn]

well this was an experience

didnt realize the lobby timer was at 15 sec when i joined and i was swapping talents

so loaded in with 11 unspent points lmao

[thin finch]

another case as to wy vermintide lobby was better

[unreal yew]

Is psyker smite build viable at auric damn?

[jovial juniper]

Only with Shriek and EP

And some good single target weapons for bosses

[unreal yew]

Hmm, that was what I was using

[upper galleon]

You grabbed PC right?

[unreal yew]

I just don't know what weapons to use. I use a smite staff but at higher difficulties it feels weak

The force sword is alright though

[upper galleon]

Surge staff imo is worse than void staff

And i use DS4 as well

[unreal yew]

Pc?

[upper galleon]

Perilous combustion

The elite/spec kills spread soulblaze stacks

[unreal yew]

I think I did

[unreal yew]

Ds4?

[jovial juniper]

Dueling Sword Mk IV

[unreal yew]

Is the one that you can apply power to it as a special attack?

[upper galleon]

No?

[unreal yew]

Hmm

[upper galleon]

Only force swords do that

[unreal yew]

Is Force sword viable?

Because I found it more versatile when I can do normal hits on everything and apply power when an elite show up. But I can see the problem when its lacking damage

[analog agate]

Imo surge staff is better than void 🤷‍♂️

[upper galleon]

Surge is single target dps and lockdown and it’s good for that

Void can stun lock monstros with surge and deal with packs of crushers

It’s not even comparable in auric

[near wyvern]

Atheneum has all the answers you are looking for. There is a separate section for Soulblaze in there.

[jovial juniper]

The main consensus is to avoid using the Obscurus for now, something about moveset being all over the place

[analog agate]

Both a void stun locking monsters and dealing with crushers is a thing in the past. No one has good enough aim to stun lock a chaos spawn (the only monster that matters). One shotting a crusher is cool. Then the long charge time makes void meh. On both void and surge it would be better to swap to dsiv. Surge is so much more versatile with taking out gunners/shotty/specials quicker.

[jovial juniper]

You're really chalking it up to aiming skills huh

Smh my head

[analog agate]

No?
