The long charge rate feels so bad and the slow movement rate of the ball to actually hit something moving is a problem
Taking away the aiming aspect is definitely a plus for surge though. You can kill faster even over someone who is a shroud* with aiming on void
I value the ability to quickly dispatch specials/gunners over a possibility of stunning a boss for a sec or one shotting a crusher. Disablers are more dangerous
And that is where surge shines
So surge staff is more versatile?
No. I would say void is. I think for what I consider important surge is better
Not really, lacks cleave
Void is broken levels of good
I'd say trauma is more versatile
It's really not close
Although a good trauma is hard to come by
Just craft one
Good stagger, good damage, access to long range bolts
If you've built up your relationship with Hadron, you're gucci
I was leaving trauma out of it haha. Trauma is just a better staff than both unless you REALLY value boss dmg
Surge is the fifth best staff
If I am using smite for CC I would like a staff that is single target damage
Specialty for specials
Surge. And by using smite you hopefully mean using it with venting shriek
Surge is a good (possibly best) candidate for a smite build
I was putting on my surge stan hat. I think I probably have the most experience on trauma staff here? Arco overall but he doesn’t really use it. War splits his time with zealot
I reckon I have 400 odd true levels with trauma, minimum
I have about 800-900 hours on trauma staff
Praise the steel staff
what is the dump stat for the nomanus mk vi surge force staff?
No dump stat really. It likes all stats high.
i figured quell speed might be close to a dump stat as you can always swap to a force sword for quelling. at the moment melk has this:
Charge rate can be lower at like 70 ish.
That's bricked anyways
No you quell way faster on staff.
Need 2/4, Flurry Nexus, Flak, Unyielding, Elites, Maniacs, 5% crit chance.
Carpace kinda okay if you are desperate or running an EP smite build
Force swords have the same quell rate as blitzes last time I checked
i wouldnt touch a surge staff with dam less than 77%
Why 77% specifically? Genuine question, I'm not well versed in staves.
I rolled one with 76 dam and it happened to have open perks
so i decided to try agent's recommendation for flak maniac on surge
it did not reach the trapper no crit one tap bp
this is begging to be a build
79% cloud radius is literally unplayable, smh
Too high warp resist on purga. 
ur too high
coming back after a while, general concensus on best staff rn?
Trauma
theyre all good
I will elaborate. Trauma because it has infinite cleave as well as the stagger ability so you can, in theory, never get hit in melee
yeah i know you can use them all for sure
just seeing if anything changed since last i played
seems not
Psyker meta hasn’t changed from patch 13 (October)
In maelstrom/auric play at least
i heard news of crafting changes? they happened or coming soon?
could be hype
they said after summer but they meant when hell freezes over 😭
Honestly, it could lead to this game feeling like a new game. We will see
if they fix the crafting ill finally put a positive review
fix is a strong word to be using around fatshark
any way to salvage this? it had damage against infested on it i swapped already.
cool
ill put a negative one
"3k hours played its bad"
@marble crater bruh
game pass is getting a price hike
Smite psyker)))
do assail shards still benefit from melee blessings like uncanny strike when stacked and weaving assail with melee?
nay
Yeah it was awhile ago.
It wasn't assail specific tho. It was something about melee blessings no longer effecting ranged damage.
the change was that projectiles don't have their buffs updated in real-time
whatever buffs they were launched with, that's what they keep for the rest of their lifetime
Yeah, was only a matter of time really 
how much is it now?
I feel like the curation is really good, but not worth the price for the amount of multiplayer games on it
20$
this was fun 
interestingly enough, the batteries for the final event on that map and the medicae batteries look identical, but the medicae battery obviously doesn't work on that machine
There is also a cheaper version without day one releases now, not sure if that means you get the games later or not at all, might be an option if you have a backlog already 
High as a kite.
does 3 stam exist for psykers?
ahhh i see now ty
75's are a scam, they say +3 but they are +2 in game
im pretty new to this game, any tips for using psyker on malice difficulty, i always die and fail the mission because i get over run, i use assail
Dont be afraid to actually use your melee constantly be dodging and sliding

Monkey see monkey do
and what about making a decent build? im only level 12 or something i cant remember but i have a sword with parry and a las pistol
Dont be using your building materials till you hit lvl 30
by build i mean like set of weapons
Also trauma staff is going to be your best bet at keeping alot of stuff of yourself
Don’t go near hadron
I like trauma or voidstrike staff with either deimos force sword or mk iv i think it is dueling sword
Trauma staff at low level and rolls is pretty bad. You an try it out, know that its scaling is so much better at higher rolls.
i recommend splitting your dodge and jump binds onto different keys
since this allows you to spam your dodge key without worrying about being punished into a jump
This is a general recommended leveling build for talents made by Pygex.
deimos blaze force sword?
Yes
There is a pretty good guide up in the pins called The Psyker Atheneum.
theres one i can get rn its pretty good
The illisi might be considered more beginner friendly tho
i do not have that unlocked
Also, while leveling don't get to focused on gear. It's all gonna suck (more or less) until you can get better rolls. That happens at 30.
Knives are also great as always but littlr tricky to use w pysker and you need to have good movement to make use of them
im trust level 8 lol, is it ok to be using a heavy laspistol? its my highest quality ranged weapon and better than anything i see in store
Feel free to try weapons out as you unlock them.
Use what you get.
It's famine while leveling
If your on pc id recommend the auto clicker mod to use w las pistol unless you want carpal tunnel
yeah i noticed it sucks to use but i mainly use it to get headshots
If you want to balance saving materials and getting better gear, buy new stuff every few levels.
i should also play with friends and not public lol, sometimes my teammates suck and just dont help or revive us
The nature of pubs. 😩
Nature of how I treat pubs 
If you die in the open vs 20000 shooters I'm sorry go open YouTube on the other monitor
Oh and here is some basic play info. There are videos of game basics. Some stuff might be out of date, but the core of the info is good.

Assail is also the go to leveling tool. You don't have to worry about low rolls, RNG, or spending mats on it.
i think ive just met the worst team, we got attacked by beast of nurgle and everyone left me to fight it solo so i died
they literally just ran and let it back me into a corner
con sole key is wack
also recommend a build for rashad
I tried using the rashad but it just felt rlly slow to me for some reason much prefer the antax
On psyker you got no attack speed bonuses to really make rashad shine in comparison
no gaze?
Ds4 exists
I would go so hard with a ds4 on zealot
Gaze doesn’t give any attack speed
Unfortunately
I have the weirdest penance being a major problem . It’s the one to knock off 7 enemies to their death
Rashad is a faster base than antax but without attack speed boosts it isn’t very noticeable
That and finesse giving weakspot damage as well
Idk i prefer rashad for the push attack stagger
Psyker attack speed one day
psyker gon hit the gym once again
I get this feeling everytime I use gaze in melee
Particularly with DS lights
Zoomy lines go fast
Eggzachary
Copium
finally, good psyker drip
also i stfg ive burned like 8 trauma staffs without a single blazing spirit
Why would you even need attack speed on psyk
can I get a fun lightning psyker build? realizing i dont like trauma lol
smite+shout?
Shout extends smite
also imma be honest im awful at doing builds
Whole loop is that you get ep stack from a special or elite kill, then smite mixed horde and get another special or elite kill with your empowered smite
I wanna run with surge right
Use flame shout to extend your smite cast
I run surge with it ye, but honestly i dont really use it that much
do i run either of the smite augments
I dont use that because smite already stuns whatevers around you
Aside from that this is pretty much it yes
Very easy question, battle meditation
Oh it's ep smite though, the one exception outside of scriers to battle med being a garbage talent
Your only option is one of the smite notes or one of the toughness generating nodes
Or you drop quietude to free up 2-3 points.
Which would probably be my preference.
i wold sacrfice the 2 middle points at the top, and 1 or 2 of the smite points(depends if you use it a lot or not)
@sick nimbus#psyker-class message
It's the ice cream cone of the warp.
It only comes in vanilla I'm afraid.

What do I change?
That's a really nice self-portrait 
Rampage -> Riposte/Shred.
Perks I'd do specialists to manic.
I finally figured out what your stick figure kept reminding me of. It's Teen Girl Squad from Homestar Runner.
Some folks like rampage for better horde clear and having more power (unless it's been patched to be damage) for tougher enemies.
I still recommend shred or riposte over tho. DS doesn't have a ton of cleave (even after the buff); but more importantly, if you don't have chaff to keep rampage up, that blessing is doing nothing.
Choosing between riposte and shred is more of personal preference and play style.
depends on the region mine wasnt there
im pretty sure i cant post pdfs here but if you google the title you should be able to see it
Wow, if you convert Argentina's prices to USD, their new 12 months game pass core is cheaper than any of the current prices for other contries
44,999 ARS is $48.95
yeah argentina was always the Caribbeans of video games
wasnt that good in the first place
Different wages, different cost of living, etc
I doubt this price hike will affect any active subscribers, but will remind those people who are subscribed and haven't used it in months 
Best time to get the game on Steam, 60% discount for the imperial edition, that is to say: $24/€24 😂
ye thats how i got the game
oh no, that train ended yesterday, back to €60
oh no people have to wait 2 weeks before its on sale again
I mean, I wouldn't pay full price, this game suffers from content update compared to Vermintide franchises,
the only reason I don't play Vermintide 2 is because of its P2P model, V2 feels like you need friends to play with
Anyone know why the psyker shield is now a blinding soap bubble ?
your GPU died
condolences
I'm pretty sure that's not the issue
I used it yesterday all the time, doesnt look like that
Render bug
Is that an AMD GPU
I can show you where you can download a new GPU, it's where I got an extra 32gb of ram.

Unironically I spent 6 bucks on a downloadable GPU and it doubled my frame rate 
anyone runs warp rupture? Like, is there even a point over creeping flames? I guess it's insta damage instead of burn tick
Yeah maybe that last one
And you want to jump through blessing/perk loops to get the breakpoints for poxwalkers but only up to 5m or less 
Wait, it also has a damage fall off?
Lmao, ye, it's trash then. If it was 150-250 damage in that entire 30m shriek range, then it would probably be good
Yes
It's so joever
All psykers must return to shield
No stick with Scream BB warp Stack, embrace tradition
Wait till you hear it has damage drop off based on distance, and quite a severe one
They have to explain to me what inertia has to do with fire 😂
even harder to explain, for a flamethrower with actual fire, constant burn rate maybe, but a fire that sitcks into your soul?
Maybe if they wore shoes they won't need to worry about soleblaze
shoesblaze? 😂
i assume it just burns with using the enemy's souls as fuel essentially
EP BB my beloved
is magic, now all shut up
its actually a nanotech that looks like a flame
i tried to play zealot after a while of just ogryn and psyker
got my ass BEAT
i think my brain can only support two classes at a time 😭
I can support 3 classes in my brain. Vet, Psyker, and Ogryn
Not playing a different class every game. 
vet was never an option 
like people shit talk smykers but shield ogryn is unironically more brain rot than smite
I like using the shield as Ogryn. Makes puny Heretics try to melee me instead of shooting me
Mix in some Shield pushes to draw most enemy attention towards me or drag a few shooters into the pile, A rock at a incoming charger or 3, and eating rations mid mission
Kickback as my range option because it just a nice shotgun to use
yeah i have it too with shield i just forget to use it
Just make sure you remember to reload it when you get a chance
just heavy1maxxing all game
Less you reload it in front of a trapper you really want to turn into chunky salsa or wall art
ah dude fucking the partial reload doesnt work well
there was one instance were i kept trying to reload for a solid minute to shoot one sniper and i couldnt because of a mutie a trapper and a pox burster and other shit
i was fuming
At that point. Rock meet sniper
i couldnt see the sniper
Someone should report it
so i wanted the aoe
Sometimes I also mix in the grenade gauntlet with my shield Ogryn
I feel like using a purg on a lights out mission gives me headache
Exactly, use Blaze Trauma instead
yeah blow out your ears instead of blinding yourself
Fatshark pls buff
Feels worse to me, dunno why
Because it's a bad staff, please buff 
feels like it doesnt do much damage, its good for CC
but purg does CC kinda decently and is better for soulblaze in my opinion
buff trauma pls
Just give Trauma a blessing that leaves fire puddles like the coruscation staff
btw ive recently started playing psyker seriously and i have all 4 staffs with good rolls and builds and its pretty much purg>void>surge>trauma for me
all in auric damnation+maelstrom
havent touched gunpsyker because my main is vet
Whenever I play Blaze Trauma and there is also a psyker with Purgatus on the team I feel bad for them
also is it just me, or is smite really bad?
i never find myself using it for the builds i'm running
smite is always bad
it costs so much peril for what i can do 100 times better with my staff
i just take smite on my voidstrike build because i have a sniper staff so i dont really need brainburst
but i might switch to BB even with that
Tfw when it does 30ish damage outside of the circle
even inside the circle close to the center, ive been fully charging 2-3 times and some elites dont even die
Show us your trauma staff
has a 63% damage roll, but give me a sec

it has okish damage scalling 60 should still be usable
Yeah, so? Three charges won't kill an ogryn elite or a mauler but it's not supposed to. That's what soulblaze is for.
Buff trauma
Make sure you're running shriek and blazing spirit
its just my very early thought on staffs
And stack that shit up
i am
i run rending
Rending is underrated
but if i'm running soulblaze build, why use trauma instead of purgatus? Only if i dont like purg and wanna play trauma
The BP staning is crazy
Who has ever said that rending isnt the shit?
Because "soul blaze builds" don't exist
I thought it was widely considered to be amazing
i still feel like blazing trauma is the most slept on build for trauma still
Ah ok
i thought its the most popular build for it?
you mean the discord?
Rending was popular first
not here i dont see how people run here lolz
And I think a lot of people just haven't worked out that blazing spirit is superior now
In QP I rarely see blaze trauma. Like maybe 1/50 psykers
Despite the fact that rending also gets ragged on a lot in this discord
blazing spirit still kinda feels awkward if you cant actually snowball it since it doesnt have flurry
The real difference is that trauma provides superior CC
its easy to snowball it but in some situations the guys next to you just takes all the kills and you're just left with a wierd CC soulblaze staff thingy
pruga can deal more soulblaze and faster at doing so, but it doesnt have CC, at most ragers and maaaaybe maulers
trauma dumps anything that isnt a boss
With trauma you also still have your lmb for longer ranges, which is something I miss on purgatus
Heres my trauma
That's fine
looks solid for the most part
Like an 8/10
i feel like pruga shriekspam can do wonders tbh
mostly cause you can roll up to 10+ stacks easily
i just feel like its lacking comparatively. But it can quite easily be me being bad still
But yeah purg suffers from having to rely on BB more
blazing trauma feels bad when you cant snowball(i.e. kill elites and proc PC)
When you have a competent team steamrolling for sure
6 stacks is fine at killing chaffs but also quite slow
But as soon as its just you
do you play blazing trauma with empowered psyonics or warp siphon?
this is the only part that makes the blazing trauma look bad tbh
WS
WS rightside
WS is the real king of the build
ah i was using psyonics
Although these days I be running assail + DD blaze trauma
Yeah don't use EP with trauma
Unless you're running assail
was following the example build from the Atheneum
where
check under your fore skin
Unfortunately the atheneum builds are extremely questionable
Very idiosyncratic choices
well it does say example builds
One sec I'll build it
but i started from there and made some adjustments
Fk u

Thanks
Theory needs choose essence harvest
This is Agent's he probably didn't change them since he is busy cuddling with penguins or something
I could you could play with only 4 charges, but I don't wanna
Honestly, kinetic deflection can be dropped imo. People take it for unexpected rager packs, and that's the only good justification
Bosses... learn to dodge.
can dump kinetic reflection for soulstealer
Are you running a stamina curio?
1 stam and 2 tough
The enlightened trauma build
tough regen + sniper + tough
I'm a big whatever floats your boat guy for curio perks
although i'm not getting hit by snipers so i might change it
But also not taking combat ability regen hurts
yeah that
Running three is definitely overkill
You're only getting 12.4% reduction from the third one anyway
Ordo dockets is the most underrated curio perk
Combat ability regen is imperative for blaze trauma
Experience 
Not for console people 
Because it reduces your CD by about 3.5s, which when you're running warp charges and seers presence brings a your combat ability down to 11s cooldown
Combat ability regen just gets better the more you have of it, because each chunk reduces your next total by a greater percentage
ok i changed my mind
this build you gave me is the bomb
- CD was really good
cooldown reduction
c deez nuts
dies of prank
hmmm.
might need to get another curio then
An extra 1.2s reduction is godlike when your cooldown is less than 10s already with 6 warp charges and a measly two psykinetics aura procs
sounds reasonable
so what would you say the best curio perks in general are? ability regen, toughness regen and tough or hp?
Yeah those are the top ones imo
Can throw some sniper resist in to
And I run gunner resist on gun psyker
Yeah I feel that
It's just comfy knowing you can outlast them
I'd rather have gunner resist than sniper resist any day of the week, but I only get hit by a sniper once every 10 games or so I reckon
i got all 3 curios with toughness regen and ability regen and i have one of each 5% tough-sniper-gunner res
Not sure one gunner res will do much
I approve
I think it's hard to get your head around, but conceptually I really like it
Because you get the most out of the first one
I've had it in my head as theoretically the best choice for ages
Yeah, I run 3 from back when I had problems in Heresy, so I don't even know if I actually still need them or not 
You could drop the third one, for sure
12.4% gunner resistance
Eww
I was running three health curios with three health perks for melee maelstrom the other day
Because without gunners and shooters toughness is way less valuable
And holy shit
I survived THREE poxbursters
It felt so dirty

I've been running 165 health on my gunker for so long
I forgot what health actually does
Had nearly i think 500 health on ogryn w all health curios
I'd love a mod where I could play with that health on psyker, even just solo
the children yearn for unchained psyker
toughness regen is pretty useless on psyker
you basically never rely on the passive regen
what lol toughness regen is BIS
My shovel mk5 ass sweating in the corner
Chain heavies, and if there's a big one, special heavy
rince, repeat
thats 4 times more gameplay than shield
It really isn't
As psyker, you get toughness back for crits, building peril, querying peril, killing with warp
It's so easy and frequent that as long as you're actively playing, toughness regen is moot
I put stamina regen on every curio
Toughness regen has never kept you from dying
stamina is always nice to have more of
It's kind of the point tho
Not counting as dodging when you dodge, not sprinting when running, or finding yourself unable to dodge, however, has killed you
I dunno if curio increase toughness regen of perk tho ,never considered it
Anyway it's not like it matter when I have 90 toughness , that would be like +1 toughness per node or some shit
Psyker toughness is like a bumper rather than a pool
A poxwalker graze my back and my toughness is gone 
That's true of every class right now
What is?
I think Pogryn still get ok from toughness tho. They also have more perk to regen it with their weapon
Which is fair ,they're big guy, we are glass canon
I still run only health on ogryn
If the pox don't kill me my mind will anyways 
I think the pogronomicon also recommands health over toughness
anything happened that made you guys happy/cheerful lately?
Em album release 
oh right i havent listen to it yet but people are saying its reminding them of his old stuff
Sure does, if you listen to it then really should be in order
You will laugh and probably cry too 
am just feeling abit down so just want to hear happy stuff :v
from random internet peepo

remind yourself of the blessings in life and all
Everything except two tracks will cheer you up
wind rose released a new song called "rock and stone"
pls tone down crusher furball spawns
I think the issue is the patrols and patrol avoidance just doesn’t work in DT
Oi got a Playset for my kids for the back yard and the surprise on their face almost made me cry lol
woah thats nice, playset is like those playground sets?
you buy from a local guy? seems premade
So many ranged attacks going out, and all active patrols being aggro’d if a horde spawns, makes it nearly impossible to avoid them unless you are in a dedicated group
Yeah it was used originally from menards. Could use some paint but she's sturdy yet
must be good knowing your kid won't be another ipad kid
THe wood looks old but seems sturdy, prob look good after some varnish
I'm gonna paint it with this stuff and some white I got laying around
It seals splinters and stuff in so that shouldn't be a issue
just curious why not just apply a layer of varnish
Like the opil then you put another layer to seal it in
or is it because the wood is too porous
i never done woodwork before
so genuinely asking
that wouldnt work too well for woods that arent very hard
i see
do gunners take 10% extra damage from the +10% to elites perk?
yes
I'm quickly enjoying 10 percent alot more than flak on alot of my stuff
Notice that the +10% is additive where as the +flak and +unarmoured are multiplicative bonuses but only work against that armour type parts
yeah flak for example will increase dot damage on all gunners since it targets central mass which is all flak on both of them
Like evis 15 works really well with elites and maniac cuz it doesn't really struggle with anything flak
i take unarmored maniac on evi 15 tbh
Less work this way
sometimes unarmored crit 
Wait for what lol
lmb spam
It taps all the unarmored stuff with rampage and it has that hard cap of 4
im locked to perfect strike
I do manite cuz it struggles with mix ins
so i went all in on the meme with shred crit
This makes more sense I guess
I have one with wrath in lieu of shred and I also have one with bromentum lmao
Sprint efficiency stamina 
💀
Momentum on evis is very comfy
Rampage is literally mandatory lil
Can anybody post me some screenshots of a Psyker wearing "Gloriana" Redemptor's Veil with the Pollium Verates Chest and Pants?
thank you quickplay
is a psyker using a force sword with deflector a good build?
wanting to do a melee-centric psyker that can block a lot of raw damage
I mean
Force swords block well without deflector if you have kd they just don't stop bullets
If you can try to block a sniper shot you can probably also just dodge the sniper shot
more option though, yknow?
isnt additive better?
Multiplicative will compound with (on?) other multiplicative bonuses
So if you have base x +20% x +30%, you get more than +50% when multiplicative
Okay game. Decide to bless my Psyker

I assume I want to replace Thrust 3 with 4 once I eventually get it or replace it with something else
Additive is worse in terms of offensive power since multiplicatively stacking damage buffs also increases the value from your other buffs.
Let's you have 4 warp charges (+16%, additive) , +20% power (multiplicative) from something and then choices are +10% additive or +10% multiplicative damage.
With additive +10% you will deal:
- (1 + 0.16 + 0.1) * 1.2 = 1.51, +51% additional damage
With +10% multiplicative you will deal:
- (1 + 0.16) * 1.2 * 1.1 = 1.53, +53% additional damage
Might seem small but then again we have more buffs than this and the multiplicative vs armour perk is 25% at the highest level.
Currently we have 3 sources of multiplicative damage buffs, those are rending, power and +armour perks. Each of the three are very important and stacking them all together yields even greater results.
kinetic deflection with a +3 stam curio will let you block for a really long time
because the amount of peril generated depends on how much stamina is consumed
so the more stamina, the less peril gen
lmfao
that's huge
yah
i thought it was tied to peril gen, not stamina
you still cant block crusher or mauler overheads due to their inherent traits
but everything else is game
can u block a trapper net with deflector?
idk
and i think the plague ogryn slam?
norp
No it doesn't. Sniper round isn't a projectile
deflector is like a shield, except snipers
if you try to tank a sniper round like a shieldgryn you get quickly told that you arent a shieldgryn
booooorrrriiiiingggg
Deflector is a good way to ruin a perfectly good illisi
real men just eat the sniper
its not terrible
illisi really only needs slaughterer to work really well
uncanny needed for intense crusher killing activity
uncanny is nice but
it depends on what ur ranged is
if u have a trauma or surge then u dont really need it
Or brain burst
bruh why cant i get shit like this on psyker
why is arco responding to me on an alt account?
if you ever insinuate i am in any way related to arcotash again there will be legal repercussions
hes the only human being capable of this level of density
he is a goose
but i thought-
which blessings do i need
change run n gun to nexus
Which of the three force swords is the best for horde clear? Illisi?
and infested to flak
it would make a great blaze trauma once the crafting update is out
Yes illisi, with slaughterer and uncanny strike, flak and manic
I figured I'd want deflector no matter what
What are the best blessings for the purgatus staff?
nexus/flurry
Then slaughterer und deflector
@spice veldt it happened again but this time in meatgrinder the quell animation thing is not serverside
yeah whatver i said before i'm pretty sure i said it's just that animation issues get exacerbated by ping
since i've had this happen to me before in the meatgrinder as well
🤔 how the fuck do i report something i cant recreate
You don't 
ive eaten a sniper shot to protect a teammate who was rezzing before
no idea if that was necessary but it was funny
they can prob just figure that it's not doing the quell animation properly after a purg cast
It's me. I'm the real man. 🥲
totally not a skill issue
Me running 2x sniper resist. 
smh sedation strats
It wasn't cause sniper shots penetrate and will hit multiple players if they are lined up
what do i change here
or well
i think i know what has to change
but to what is what i meant
Do you have Uncanny Strike?
yeah
exorcist to either slaughterer or uncanny
depends on what ur running it with
voidstrike in this case
which yeah i guess sort of invalidates the need for a melee weapon at all
you could also swap both for uncanny and slaughterer to have a really good sword overall
unless ur actively trying for crits
Are people using Obscurus more now? Still seemed kinda crappy after the recent change
it gave it a really good H1
so its kinda in between the deimos and the illisi now
i think that they both are better than the obscurus
but the obscurus at least isnt terrible to use anymore
well i do have a t4 slaughterer i could rip but that would mean getting rid of a decent looking deimos
i still have no idea which one i should be using over the others
the deimos is okay, good stat distro but subpar perks and has deflector
for the deimos swap deflector to uncanny and groaners to maniac or carapace
and itd be pretty solid
if u have the plasteel u could try to just gamble for slaught
is that the best one i have to work with
i dont have all that much plasteel to gamble with so yeah i dont think that options still on the table
lemme look
yah
out of those demios's
thats probably the best
Out of those two deimos or force swords in general?
The fourth one I guess
I'd just farm up a good illisi and rip the slaughter off that deimos
Deimos is just kinda bleh cuz ds4 exists
oh wait nvm i was trying to do that one without maniac 
deimos is just a ds with a bit better horde clear
but is a bit more difficult to get the single target combos out of
Ehhh
Ds has much better mobility too is the main thing for me and the taps aren't locked behind a dumb evisceration
Deimos with uncanny and deflector. 
and stamina and block efficiency 
Veri cool.
Really the only reason to run deimos over ds4 is if you want deflector
Imo other than just doing something different than ds
Most if the time I'm just running the shitter illisi
But I use surge and shield with warp charges and br or shriek wirh smite and warp charges so the illisi fills in gaps in those instances well

Deimos is too stronk atm
The cheese h1 is too good at staggering crushers n elites
is running surge even worth it?
feels super underwhelming compared to all the other staffs
and has very little aoe to really compete
Bb synchros well with shield and surge is a okay general use staff
And it's different lol. Get pretty tired of playing smiker with surge and venting shriek
Surge is more for plucking out elites and letting perilous do the rest. I personally don't really like any other staff more tbh
I would encourage to keep your plasteel for now considering the crafting update soon
try to fill your sticker book but keep some resources
Not soon likely well into fall lol
in 2 month at the very least but that's still a soon to me 
Would be a good time to just horde materials for it
I miss the 40k plasteel i had before getting thrust 4 😭
was it 40 or 50 i dont even remember 😭 😭
Yes if you spam creeping flames.
You can see my damage numbers. 
Hello siblings! Was experimenting with the recent lasgun buffs and I came up with this no-warp attack Gunker build that relies on the Recon Lasgun VId's ability to output a ridiculous number of crits. Will test it out later but thought I'd share, would love feedback for My Beloved!
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c82159e-fbbe-4516-90d9-0a554a1610fe/critfish-no-blitz-gunker
oh speak of the devil
Timing 😂
i would not do headhunter on the lasgun
do dumdum instead, or dumdum headhunter
but if you do want infernus, you have true aim, which is already pretty much build-in headhunter
and thats sufficient enough for reliable tick applications
Hmm, better than even more crits huh? I suppose there could be a line
keep in mind the 6d fires 20/s
most targets dont really live that long
so infernus is only for larger targets
infernus can also help you get more consistent TTK results, whereas headhunter would be higher potential DPS with its crits
either way dumdum is a must, it's really just free damage
good to know
I was tempted to take a force sword with Blazing Spirit but I figured mixing and matching soulblaze and regular fire wouldn't be terribly effective
tree looks fine really
i didnt do scriers
but thats certainly an option lol
that was today's project
It was inspired by the game I just had where I found I didn't have time to use Assail, because by the time I used Scrier's Gaze and the peril had come back down it was practically ready to go again. So I figured why not just spend the entire match in Scrier's?
Will test soon and post with feedback
Curios... there's a lot of things people agree and disagree on
What are your thoughts on gunner resistance?
i cant remember where the last point goes
but i was doin this
gunner resist is either the best thing ever or complete dogwater
How can it be either or haha... do we not know?
i think it does exactly what it says on the tin, but i also think you have a lot of better options for your curios/for handling gunners in general
ie. solid cover, sprinting, sliding
Interesting, I usually don't go with Smite + Destiny because I find Assail has more synergy. How was Smite working for you?
@wise sundial it's not bad because gunners will murder you, but depends on the build. If you have Shield or Deflector + Kinetic Deflection you can deprioritize it
thanks that makes more sense
smite keeps me safe, gets me into position, locks down/exposes targets to shoot
I just play all 4 classes equally so I am like a jack of all trades master of none... I forget a lot of stuff
@thorn cedar do you not usually take Purloin Providence on the Disrupt Destiny tree? I usually do out of habit but I'm wondering how good it actually is
Reason why everyone tends to stack 3 20% gunner resist curio effects
only for the scrier's maxxers
yeah it just asks for something of a confluence of weird scenarios
that like
arent impossible, or even uncommon
but are rarely that serious either
and just standard quelling is so strong now
im fine with bm since its always happening
If you have a tendency to get caught by gunners, and I means gunners not just anything with a gun, gunner resist can be helpful.
If there are few gunners or your situational awareness is always on, then it's not going to do as much for you.
Curios are largely personal preference and playstyle. Though, a 21 health curio with sniper resist provides enough cushion to not get completely destroyed by a sniper or a burster.
That's my main recommendation.
Hey thanks so much, you are heard... taking these into consideration.
Just dodge 
I personally like running 2 health curio and one +3 on psyker as toughness curios net you basically nothing
There is a psyker guide in the pins. It called the Atheneum. It also has info on curios. It's a solid source, but it isn't the end all be all.
Also be advised that +3 Stamina cruios with a 75 rating are bugged. They are actually +2 stamina. If you want a +3, it needs to be higher than 75.
@exploits looks like you were right about True Aim + Headhunter, according to the Psyker Atheneum it does even less than I thought
I strongly recommend running True Aim with this gun as it makes the fire application extremely reliable. However, in case you cannot afford it, you can replace Dumdum with Headhunter at the cost of ammo efficiency. Notice that it is not that beneficial to run both Headhunter and True Aim as the Headhunter stacks reset whenever True Aim procs, resulting in very little extra benefit.

True.
me screaming "why didn't I move"
+3 is pretty much mandatory as that with kinetic deflector makes you basically immortal to most bossing damage
Hell you can tank deamonhost like that lmao
Remember when tanking DH was super busted? 
That really did need a nerf.
It's objectively super busted still lmao
You watch any skilled psykers videos they're basically just running backwards when they're in trouble tanking everything with KD when they get in a tricky spot
no blitz
look inside
brain burst equipped
you got me there 😂
Here you go, true no blitz Psyker
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c8225f2-f907-4241-b883-6f662f5311b1/true-no-blitz-psyker
basket only
hell yeah
Great when DH used to murder 2 people before dipping out
when you could just dodge infinitely with the force swords and the dh couldn't touch you 
Why. Can't. I. Kraking. Hit. YOU. HOLD STILL YOU PEICE OF SHIT
damnation should’ve kept that tbh
it was fun
Would been nice, but at the same time. Rather not have 2 drop because of DH murdering half of your team because you had a Heretic among you
Some people sweat by it I don't run it. I run 2x sniper resist instead.
im simply 2 good to run sniper resist 
When you are in the top 1% bracket you can talk to me again. 
unironically tho sniper resist is a must for me on ogryn because that shit is impossible to dodge on ogryn
just play like a coward and you wont have sniper problems
can you crouch out of sniper shots like you can with hounds
you can but i wouldnt its not super safe
i swear i just fumbled a quick sprint into slide mid horde but i still got the block sfx for the sniper going off
jumping is better than crouching for snipers
yeah that was probably it then
I leave teammates behind no matter what class. Always being selfish in war.
Not my fault they can't keep up. 
yeah i should do that more often
i believe the clip i posted proves that its a loss loss no matter what
i need to start running revive speed or some shit
We love the last second trapper, Pox hound, or Mutie grab you before you can revive your friend
I do toughness regen, toughness, health. I honestly have never done any research or testing what is the “best” for psykers for addons on curios
i have to force myself not to use trauma staff
i find psyker gets enough toughness from tlaent tree no need for toughness regen curios at all
Ole boy in the Atheneum seems pretty confident about them being the best thing for psyker
I think thats just because its outdated
Toughness regen on curios is just for the passive regen, which you basically never rely on if youre using a staff as psyker
Why use worst staff ever?
is purloin providence good? I have been using it but it was hard to notice it in the middle of the match
so terrible
literally blasting crusher packs apart

If youre using scriers gaze yeah
15% quell per 20% chance?
is that really a thing that works out
yeah, it does
sometimes you even get lucky and it'll double proc it + battle meditation
if you have something thats heavy aoe it can absolutely take chunks off your perils meter and keep you in scriers for longer
super niche but thats what it do
Illisi H1 L1 combo in a horde
Plenty of DD targets to farm free toughness back and extended scriers
Do people actually do h1 l1 on illisi? It's so hard just light spam 
I swear I'll throw a fit at anyone in a mission who fucking pings the shit out of enemies. Like who's the priority enemy? Is pinging a shit ton of enemies really helping or annoying your fucking teammates and suddenly the whole team falls down because they can't fucking hear elites/specials coming?
That is basically perfect
Do not touch any further
No idea, I don’t play psyker often
The weird bit about surge is you have to separate the 2 balls it shoots by rapidly panning you camera while firing
A target can only be hit by 1
I think rerolling crit chance is something you want
for maniac or carapace
You can force crits with one of the perks from the skilltree
so the extra damage is probably better than more critchance
ta?
if ur asking for dump stats
it’s not that big of a deal between the two
you might want to swap crit chance to maniac, carapace, or unyielding
depends on the build and how you feel with it
hey wow that's a cool blinder the psyker has
TOO BAD THE FUCKING TOILET BOWL SEAT RUINS IT
thanks fatshark

only really bad thing about it is the carapace being locked
at least purge is easy tho. just need cloud radius and burn.
it’s really good lol
it’s basically exactly what you want
well
at least flurrys unlocked
running this to try out assail
do you need both the talents for assail?
you don’t really need the faster shard gen
if it’s not gonna be ur main weapon
especially with EP
oh fair
if it’s not ur main weapon it doesn’t really matter
That was my line of reasoning, but it never really works out that way.
And TBF, assail is never the main weapon anymore.
The only time you shouldn't take recharge is if you take assail on void or trauma
when i use it its not that big of a deal
i can’t infinitely throw out shards sure but i rarely need to do that
I would argue if you never feel like you need the recharge, you are better off getting something that lets you hit pyshkinetic aura.
This useable for a gunpsyker?
i have smite on my void psyker just for bulwark backs and that’s it
it’s never useful elsewhere lol
The gun is still pretty ass, no? But that's about as good of a one as you'll get.
deathspitter to headhunter
and it’d be pretty good
I learned it from all the texting I did with your mom.
She's a prim and proper lady.
she’s actually not
she has no idea how to text lmfao
🐌
🧿🧿
I've confused quite a number of people by responding with;
Ok.
Esp when texting, I think I unironically caused a woman to ghost me cause of an "Ok."
“fuck you”
oh damn lmfao
it’s why i always say “kk”
comes off more casual and friendly
I've tried to stop myself when texting girls since then, but if it's like 2 a.m or I'm drunk how am I supposed to change my fundemental being?



I found out my original name is already taken and googlable. I've had it happen before, I would hate someone to cyberstalk/attack an innocent person.

i have smite and bubble on my void build….
💔💔💔
That doesn't count.
A void build is 99% void.
true
Even I've run smite bubble on void.
Never used void before
Surge for life
Is that a Surge Blessing joke?
surge staff users when there is more than 5 targets

Thats why u spam your shriek needlessly at them
Are you really playing surge staff properly if you don't waste venting shriek at the worst conceivable times
ur only playing surge staff right if u have an absolutely terrible build
and then blame ur team
True
now that i think about it
i haven’t seen a surge staff in like
months
guess it’s really unpopular in aurics
why do i get up in the morning
That's almost exactly what i run LOL
Oh
Nvm
explains why u shrieks all the time lmfao
It's set to Wumbo, for Ep Smite.
The anger.
The rage.
The sheer brutality of daily life.

mainly so u can enjoy sweet treats tbh
booorrrriiinggggg
try a brownie
that’s why u get up in the morning
okay but i make really good brownies
they r great
