but the downside is you lose a lot of the benefit of a flamer
being able to kill mixed hordes really well
yep! It clears the armor but it does jackshit to flesh
Yes, but that's why it's a special function that gets used in edgecases anyways
Gives the staff something "else" to do
And it'd look cool af
i think just a brittleness infliction with little damage would be better
that way it’s more like melting the armor off
probably. Would be cool. Probably too op though ):
Maybe like...
15% max with about 1second being 1 stack?
or rather 1 second being 2 stacks
15% is too low
15s is a long ass time lmao
hrmrmmm
but like it's a broad thing
Could be the difference between psyker force sword killing 3 in one swipe or 1
(not that it matters but you get my point)
like maybe a max of 30-50% brittleness that depends on how many stacks of burn it has
idk
too tired to think
What about...
30% debuff after being hit by the alt fire for 3.5s in total
for like 4 seconds or whatever
so it's something you gotta commit to but the infinite cleave makes it mega potent
Same feel as fire because you need to hold it on the target to get the critical mass of stacks required to kill
idk why but it always feels funny when my paper thin psyker manages to clutch while vets, zealots and sometimes even ogryns get smooshed 
just had a heresy level mission with low intensity and extra dogs where two VoC vets and a shouty dropped from a horde of groaners
me as the ||hounds||
nosh
what perks should I use
terrifying barrage > warp flurry + ranged damage specialists > flak
groaners isn't....preferable but its better than specialists imo
for purg in particular I mean
yeah, what I told you and it should be acceptable
I don't have warp flurry tho
Ideally your perks are gonna be: Maniac, Flak, Unyielding, Elites
Blessings: Nexus/Flurry
For your stats you want damage to be your dump stat
The stats you want maxed are Cloud Radius and Burn
There's like 4 blessings it's not too hard to get
burn is a bit low
you need 76 for maximum soulblaze stacks
but if you're blessing hunting get it to blue and surrender it
better but clouds a bit low
I'll be ruined if I buy until I find where both are high
I mean I have 1,5 mil but stil
yeah dont force it
and tbh dont use buy until with purge
you dont need high damage or warp resist on it
better but the quell is a bit low 
now we see what works
flak and nexus are the highest priority
flurry and other perk less so
yeah
and now it is actually pretty good?
do I go weak spot damage on perk?
any smite build ?
nah id go carapace or maniac
weakspot doesnt do as much damage as you would think
the formula for that in game isnt 10%*weakspot+weakspot its 10%(weakspot - normal damage)+weakspot damage
its a lot lower than general perks
yeah theyre good
yeah id go carapace try it out in meat grinder beforehand so you dont waste plasteel
ye
ds4 already does good flak damage so you dont really need that
maniac for ragers/muties or carapace for maulers/crushers
Basket EP smiter build. 
I am once again testing a new attack string format for melee weapons in The Atheneum. (Currently only for Combat Blade and Shock Maul).
If you have the time to give it a look, any feedback is appreciated especially for the readability and ease of understanding so I can make the guide even better than what it is 🙏
is collateral important?
It effects the suppression of the weapon
i have no idea if it effects breakpoints tho
theres a blessing for that gun that makes it do more damage to suppressed enemies
mania+unyielding/carapace and uncanny + your choice of blessings
or you can go full meme and do stamina block uncanny deflector
Change stam and change a blessing depending if you want to keep deflector or not
Break points are in The Atheneum
tbf i got this one but couldnt get manaic...
believe it or not
i have friend...
who has maxed out his stamina
got 4 different elissis
all with deflector
hell yeah
everything works now
i dont know if this weapon is any good tbf on psyker
do i need unyielding damage on
surge?
surge is flak+ your choice
maniac unyielding elite crit
maniac and elite are the most popular tho
so tehn is thiss good?
with maul tho id think hammerblow is better with skullcrusher
flak is the priority over elite
most enemy center masses are flak
so dreg and scab gunners would be flak in the eyes of a surge rmb channel
i see then thx
ye same reason flak is recommended for flamer/purge/trauma
i see tbf
i dont get this staff
i dont know what melee to pair it
so i went with the bunk stikc
just saw the combos for mauls pretty nice
@upper sun what
do you think
of my maul then?
i got a shock maul for this staff
for the ultimate zap
okay
so mauls anhilate anything
that isnt unyielding
mine got 70% pen which i am sad about
but otehr than that its okay
pen scales roughly
unyielding though
10% pen is like 1% extra damage
you might aswell hit them with vet noodle
ehh it said 3.4%
is it bad on heavies?
let me show you
so you know how most weapons got huge dmaage boost to their unyielding right?
like let say deimos
yeah
well
the mauls actually do less damage
than every other melee wapon
against unyielding
now you might say oh
this isnt bad
well here is the thing...
the main damage blessing
on mauls is skull crusher
guess what most unyielding enemies are immune to?
getting staggered by weapons
anyway
basically i need to compensate for htis
i wodner how good is surge against bosses?
does anyone non ironically use ds5?
what does it do
Oh strike down except if goes up and comes down straight
And basically got absolutely fucking zero horde clear
so no poke and worse horde clear?
like what would be the ppoint of picking over ds2 or 4?
It's literally if you can't aim the poke
Oh also it got better push block and stamina economy
So its more defensively oriented
okay so like better for controller users.. probably?
Other than that
Probably
Yeah actually
It got really easy hesdshots
Like one arm monkey can target weakspots with this xD
not being facetious but at that point why not deimos?
H1 you mean
But that attack it got wrong profile
Cuz its a horde clear attack
H2 is also poke
Pokes are all strikedown attacks
Strike down means attack with devastating single target damage and low
Cleave
Vanguard attack is a sweep attack with huge cleaves but not much stagger
Relentless got more stagger but less cleave
And then assassin is a quick attack that targets weakspots easily but does lower damage than strike down
You usually see it on fast weapons like knife , tactical axe and dueling swords
Also forceswords
High voltage + Lightning Reflexes is the way to go, forget about skull crusher
@scarlet timber the combo strings for Shock Mauls are in the Psyker Atheneum, I actually updated them today to a new format, would appreciate if you can take a glance and give me feedback on readability and ease of understanding
Thank you
Although how come you don't run it though it can give up to 80% damage on non bosses
I see what you mean
You say anything
That is hit by it will be dead
fatshark balance
lets nerf the fuck out of unyielding damage because we have thrust as a blessing
Fastest movement duelling sword. On par with knife.
It's swag and good with blaze trauma.
i have fallen in love with assail
doing surge assail ds4, shriek and disrupt and it's just mmmm
i might try er out
lol emprahs gift
also question for the more swanky characters here
would ya'll go soulstealer or EE for a assail build if you had to choose? both could add some pretty nutty figures for defense
this is what i'm running rn
woudl you say this is serviceable?
No you have 2 doodoo perks.
But you sounded like you don't like ds5.
So why bother try it?
i was just wondering if uncanny was a neccesity or if having two damage perks works on this one
i haven't tried it lol i was literally asking about it cuz i was curios
Yeah uncanny is still needed to kill crushers.
I like riposte and uncanny on my ds5.
Cos the dodge at 15% dodge distance is like 2 metre long.
So riposte procs so easily.
Perks I use same as ds4. Maniac carapace.
Since I only use my ds5 for specials/muties and crushers.
It's been over 2 months. I actually miss the game and want to play some darktide. 
The first descendant has taken over my time. Really good time sink till danktide gets some updates
does warp flurry work on the lightning staff right click or only left click
why woudl warp flurry even work on left click
isnt it just chained attacks
If you want to shoot fast with LMB
Use quell to skip animation
wait just like alternate between them?
isn't there a way to cheese that with rmb too?
Honestly? It's not that bad. Maybe I been unlucky in some areas but overall, the game is actually really good
I could have a higher tolerance though
So it's really a "either you like it or you dont*
for shock maul does the parry stun inflict skullcrusher?
also does skullcrusher get reset on different targets?
M1>R loop (needs some timing)
And there's quell/QQ cancelling for the RMB, I'm not really into those though
I'm unsure if stun/electrocute counts as stagger
Pretty workable as one of those....siblings
its already 1/4
bruh smelter is kinda rough after the event changes not gonna lie
i think i'm 1-3 since they updated smelter there
The only thing that trips me up is the old hold out spot is a lot weaker
So, what's the word on using this for my Psyker?
for gunker? or staff
Staff
i feel surge/void staff anti horde would be more important so illisi, or DS4 if you are running trauma / purge
Because shock maul is not able to hit bruiser 1 taps (compared to illisi)
And ds4 give mobility + easy crusher kills
Right, but I'd still like to build this out, since it's a 380
(I'd rather have gotten it on my Zealot but alas, not in the cards)
you also get stuck doing the special
which will be fine for other classes
but psyker get his toughness out after literally 2 hits from the zombies
i would suggest you get the parry then
since it works on ragers
which is something psyker is kind of afraid of
parry + skull crusher
it also works on bulwarks
didn't know, only knew special works on bulwarek
idk if i should build it on zealot
i will prob miss my rashad BPs
Though it is way safer
the parry also works on dogs if you care about that
Well, if I'm keeping scrusher, what perk should I swap?
I don't think you will hit new BPs changing that perk. Just keep it as is I guess.
You can use loadout config to test, I'm just to lazy to test this for psyker.
skullcrusher is quite good cause special is actually acts as a stun so you can just light him twice and get 80% damage bonus after that swing
I do?
id change hammerblow to lightning reflexes and then leave everything else as is mostly ause maniac rager/muties take forever
Alright.
So should I not even bother with maniac and swap that for flak?
Just change the blessing to thr parry, leave the rest
and carapace pen is 90%
if you wanna kill stuff in less hits and if it actually works, get flak
but otherwise i'd just consider meleeing maulers and crushers and put carapace
I don't think it will change psyker BPs ngl
Yeah kist leave it
Maybe new update
Then you can isw your other lock
Use
Like if something gets vuffed or nerfed
What staff are you using?
Doesn't matter
No point easting the lock
I will be honest, even your carapace perk No point using
Because you are better off surging them
So yeah just change thr blessing.
No need to be anxious about using both locks
Maybe skull crusher gets nerfed then you need the other lock idk
The combat is good?
Oh ya, go to the psk and try to melee the bruisers with all your buffs
If it can't even 2 tap them then honestly just use illisi
I don't get why you are confused
Oh ya
LOL
My nad
Wrong message
Taht was kind of extreme for a wrong message tho :v
Ain't gonna lie, I am digging the Saul on Psyker. Mayhaps its just a good all-rounder.
I didn't have parry, so I used Overwhelming Force and I really dig it
Yall prefer bubble or specialist blocker shield?
Specialist Blocker myself, only because I'm a Brain Burster and you can stack the channel buff.
Machine Gun Burstin
yeah it is
it just does everything well
Also, I get a bigger dopamine hit from a well placed Wall shield than a bubble.
wall kinda never works on BoN
Although is it just me, or does the bubble shield sometimes stagger muties?
it does
Is... is it supposed to do that? I need to re-read the nodes.
it is not supposed to no
Yeah, that's a bit odd. Also, it seems to me that you really need both wall nodes to get adequate value, where as Bubble doesn't super need Sanctuary.
Mayhaps they could buff it. Or swap the positions so you can get x2 walls without the stun
Eh, not like psyker is hurting for spare points anywho.
Very. Characters like Valby are very fun in their movement and abilities. Very satisfying for you to grind out some guns and stuff. Kind of similar in darktide but with way more characters to get and try out
Is it fps or third person?
Third
Nooo I prefer fps.
Womp womp
You and me both Being
I donnae know why, but only Third Person games I like are platformers
I'd still try it cause it's free. Also while the monetization is... egregious to say the least. I don't feel or even see any P2W aspects. It's actually paying to lose lmao
You can assign yourself a title akin to the system in HD2 with the way you named your ship.
||my title is 'friendly rock'||
It should, haven't tested how many stacks it gives though. Skull crusher is a debuff on enemy so yes it resets for new targets. For anything human size you get better value out of high voltage as they die in a couple of hits anyways. For ogryn sized it's hard to stagger them unless you use the special (which is risky). Lightning Reflexes is a much better way to stagger ogryns but you get better bang overall for your buck by combining it with high voltage.
Agreed, which brings me to the question: how can coop pve games without any pvp be p2w in the first place 
There is still a win condition, if you can pay money to get there easier => pay to win
It's just less of an issue if there isn't PvP but can result into freebie shaming, where free players are not wanted into the team because they bring less value
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
It's pay to progress if anything in this case, except for skins you can farm everything as f2p as well
And unless I missed it you can only buy the characters and some upgrade materials, but no weapons and not the things you need for upgrading some of the more important things. So you still need to farm those like all the peasants 
Except winning, even in pvp games, is largely defined as who's having the most fun. (yes, winning is more fun than losing, after all)
If the game's progression mechanics are designed to be most fun for people who spend money, well that's pay to win.
Now, a game like Dragon's Dogma 2, or most capcom games, the micros are tacked on and can actively make the game less fun, so that would be a good example of pay to progress not pay to win.
First Descendent is without question designed to be more fun if you spend money on progression.
So it's pay to win.

Grinding is the purpose of the game, you could argue it's pay to lose
Grinding for gear. Not grinding for one item with a low drop chance for 10 hours to unlock a character you don't even knwo if you want to play.
Plus the grinding itself is less fun if you don't pay for inventory expansion ASAP
I mean as far as korean games go, it's definitely more "ethical".
Not having gambling in and of itself is a huge win, so I'm not knocking on the game
But it's definitely p2w
I'm sticking with pay to progress
Hi guys, I want to ruin a Purgatus Staff and a Maccabian MK IV Sword and wanted to ask what blessings/perks are good on these?
online there's only gamelantern for builds and I've heard they are generally quite bad to follow
top rated ones are bad yeah
If you want to ruin your weapons then following those is good 
Yeah so I have no clue where to look hahaa
for ds4 carapace/unyielding with maniac
ds4?
cant go wrong following the guide
I am not rich enough to play korean gacha games.
bit late on this, but bubble stagger is bugged and triggers whenever you dodge
its obv not supposed to stun as thats what wall is for
for nexys 4? yes
to use? no
as a good rule of thumb never buy anything from melk with less than 370 rating unless you need a blessing
So they pulled him out of the Mausoleum and brought him back to life? 
Neither are they, they just have 40k on 3 credit cards.

Played with him
Not that good
as expected, from a 39,000 year old mummy
WHO ARE THEY
Dark and darker is irritatin
no tutorial, enemies are strong asf, movement is slow and boring

I play Dark and Darker just a little, with my kids and friends
never by myself
I really dislike the extraction pvp formula
Does anyone have a favourite keystone?
EP
Wait what can u explain this more
Ive noticed this too
So when they are inside the bubble and the psyker dodges, they are staggered?
Or anyone dodges?
the inside of the bubble gets treated like a wall for some reason whenever you dodge them iirc
Same as when you dodge on the stairs
which recon? I like gunker and wanna try something new and I heard it got buffed
2 or 7a
ty
Be warned 7 is by far the worst for ammo consumption
2 or 6d if you want the game to play itself for you
7a is a bit more tame but almost doesn't feel like a recon
6d is the fastest one right
Didnt know that
Reload is kinda a pain in the ass
Would you say 2 is superior then for scrier's infernus build
I guess 6 is more likely to get full stacks when crowd spamming
6d is the best but 2 isn't too far off
if you can't deal with the slow reload just go for the 2
Is 6d best just by firing speed = more crits?
yeah but more fire rate= more crit output for burn stacks
oh infernus
i feel like its the argument of achylis vs gorgonum with fire ult
the best force sword? combat knife.
i mean unyielding is usable
when you deal with bosses and infernus
too bad infernus is still capped
Thats already golden
You want unyielding for boss delete
And ez bulwark delete
it fuckin shreds tho even without it
Shred even more
U gonna perfectly proc true aim like this in the heat of battle
with something as stable as a recon it's not that hard lol
Really
On a moving target with all the enemies around u
More power to you if youre actually hitting 100% headshots
it's 5 shots every half a second from the recon lol and true aim don't reset bro
I just dont believe you are 100% headshotting every bulwark
nobody here sayin that but you young blood
12 stacks
You posted a clip of 100% headshots
compared to whopping 31 stacks you can get with gungryn
does fire do less to carapace?
yes
gungryn can just ignore all of it cause 31 stacks

and boss damage with infernus will always be lower than a good gungryn
mostly cause again ,31 stacks
thats beating with normal damage
Oh i see what u mean
dd and shit don't effect fire stacks from what i understand
gungryn antiboss damage comes from the absurd stacks he can get
just in the regard of making a lasgun functional tho this is pretty nutty
p much
ope
still wrong damnit lol
ere' we are
yeah i might take flak off this thing in lieu of unyielding for bossing tho. bulwarks and reapers are 0 issue tho lmao
Lmao this is so nutty
@rich spindle all body shots lol which is far from realistic as weelll
u feel me
ehhh for getting 0 headshots it's still pretty rapid. the bossing thing i can level with tho
can't wait to try this out tomorrow lol it's 3am here
oh it rolled out with HT3 btw
so i can just go whatever for the perks. i can live with hh3
the vids posted were with flakiak on it
Go tru aim talent. Replace headhunter with dumdum. Then stam to maniac
a ranged weapon without flak? sounds heretical to me
should have stopped at purple
Should have stopped at infantry lasgun
Atleast you got a t1 blessing out of it
the quell speed on this ouch
ya'll i gotta say and i hate to
but the recon 6 infernus is working better for my build than the columnus lol
i don't understand
If you have more fun doing one thing, you'll be better at it than the other. Either that or it's a skill issue
the only thing i really notice is lacking is ammo consumption but i dont use the gun that much on my assail build
i'm mostly ds4/assailing everything
but yeah it
it's better for bossing fer sure, better for hording overflow, better for dropping reapers
My Psyker...Is just blessed and cursed at the same time
Blessed because good stuff
Cursed because this would been nice for my Vet
one day i’ll get a 380 that doesn’t brick
So ummm. What do i change on it
for what?
For killing
headtaker for shred and maniac or carapace for unarmored
Thanks
Any other char i could see but ds4 exists
i suppose tho if you just like the weapon
i don't think it would hit BPs on vet because 78 damage and 71 pen
I mainly just pick stuff i like
i don't think dude is terribly worried about bp logistics lol
That's fair. i just wish my other chars could use ds4
but you invest in a rashad for the BPs >:v
either way one hit vs 2 hit the rashad is still strong lol. and in real time application things are rarely at perfectfly full health
i will drop rashad if it 2 hits bruisers.
Yeah.
on god
Stuff is either gonna be chipped by teammates
Or caught in the cross fire as you swing
by BROMENTUM
horde enemies will usually be full health
crushers, reapers, and bulwarks will usually be chipped by teammates as well
but when it comes to ragers, shotgunners, gunners, bruisers
eh yes and no. if there's a good psyker around errything chipped lol
those are breakpoints that are really important imo
genuinely if you are not aiming for BPs there are so much better weapons to get
esp for vet, i think dclaw would be way better
The big enemies as Psyker I tend to be worred about in melee range is Ragers and muties
you kinda want unarmored if you care to oneshow lower enemies, even bruisers kinda struggle
i gues syou can warp syphon
how
unless they’re using smite
theres no reason to invest in rashad on psyker if your main goal is to end ragers and muties
perk is good, just upgrade unarmored
i said vet :v
and then obv change shred into headtaker
then they will usually kill what they attack
this is psyker chat
he said the weapon would be good on his vet
Replaced unarmored for Maniac and Headtaker for shred
and regardless i did mention psyker here ^
looks good
just check if you cant kill bruisers n shit easily
and switch back to unarmored if needed
sandwillow
tne answer to me using it was zarona + assail
psyker is still quite floppy but with gaze you move turbo
i really enjoy assail now lol
Once I get head taker going. Dreg brusiers drop in a single swing, but barely one tap on Scab version
Unless I crit which then is a 1 tap
i use assail with soulstealer to beef up my toughness pool constantly. psyker is very floppy but also very tanky soomehow at the same time
scab ones require unarmored
which is why i recommend just sticking to unarmored flak
maniac is p good cause ragers
If I get peril going then it is a one tap
ragers are fucked rn but you really cant afford it when scab bruisers are still more common
good for now then
i think i just used DD stacks
+gaze
to onetap
its suprisingly good but you swing waaaay too slow
you can feel it
Gonna be a few games to get used to it since I'm used to the illisi
illisi is V strong for what it does.
give illisi without special to zealot
and they probably break the game with it still
i do wish force swords were shared but only the psyker gets to do some knack with it like laspistol does
soudns fun
stop praising illisi, i dont want a nerf ;-;
but it has some specific blessings so i get why they cant do it
like i dont imaigne how'd deflector work on normal operatives
Psyker laspistol is the best example of a weapon in this game
Dreg ragers is 3 taps to the head and 4 taps to the body
Mutie is 2 taps to the head and 3 taps to the body
I like this ax
Right I keep forgetting I have this sword 
My nice low ass damage roll emperor gift
lmao
if it makes you feel any better the loadout on its pretty scuffed too
It's complete and utter shit which is typical
But hey it is funny and that is the reason why I didn't tell it back to Melk so he can try to sell it to some poor Smuck
😱 Deimos is shit, surge smite is garage and trauma is awful 😮💨
Ok I think I’m safe
so man boxes
Was playing around with a Gunker build and I feel like I underestimated how good Soulstealer (7.5% toughness on warp attack kill) is with Illisi. Special attack + heavy a horde = refill half your toughness. Triggers on soulblaze kills too
Here's the build if folks are interested, just had a great Auric Damnation match with it.
🎇 Soulblaze Gunker 🎇
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c87c20c-9f53-4529-8623-e30231446ed8/soulblaze-gunker-2
how much plasteel is one (1x Mionix Naos Pro Mouse) worth
its ok but theres functionally zero reason to take BB without the upgrade and with gaze
Man cancelling bolt pistol bash into firing it looks so cool I wish the shots lined up
nothing like a team of all veterans to remind me how slow I am lol
Might be to deal with crushers? Illisi has a hard time with that and unless you can’t use wildfire with assail
like cmon what more can you fucking want?
if i HAVE to get all t4s on a gun to make it usable i dont want it
I use critical weak spot to help with this
Also if you had like 1 or 2 disrupt destiny stacks this would kill
man id unironically rather play surge with DD
The rework makes it so much fun to use
weird ass ADSing massive recoil and mid damage
it's just to get the right talent nodes, I only use it against snipers
basically use Scrier's Gaze on cooldown anyway
You can’t pick wildfire with assail this is a soulblaze build
Yeah I ten to just use it for quick swapping I just treat like the revolver but without needing to ads
just hearing that hurts my fingers
Bruh you just press q then left click huh
boltpistol isnt worth all that effort Ill just wait till space marines 2 comes out to play a bolter
no ring finger stays on A
Then just bind swap weapon to side mouse button
But I do have a hard time hiting weak spots sometimes so I’ve just found the newer laspistol variant to be my go to
It has both quick swapping and sustain
With scriers gaze and disrupt destiny it oneshot headshots most enemies
Wildfire is really bad tho
I never said it wasn’t, the build is a silly crit wizard souldblaze Elisi build
Ah 
I know wildfire is bad it’s just really funny when you mow through a horde and the next horde lights itself on fire running through all the burning corpses
yeah basically lol. I just wanted a fiery space wizard 🔥 🧙♂️
You can get purgatus levels of soulblaze with crit ilisi. Not that it’s good but it’s really fun
thats scanner tho
I’ve taken a similar build into auric maelstrom it works fine. There’s certainly better options but having the high kill count voiceline play when I’m just getting from point a to b just due to corpses spreading soulblaze will never get old
Again it’s not optimal it’s just really funny
Only downside is no assail 💔
Assail is so nice on gun psyker I use it to keep my ammo count high I almost never find myself running out of ammo even when playing with my friend who likes to dump ammo into random melee trash units
yeah I just hate using assail with Scrier's Gaze because it feels like I have too much peril every time I want to activate it. I've tried with Empowered Psionics to reduce the cost of assail but eh
it's great with shield or shriek tho
Oh I think that’s a case of using it too much. I tend to only use like 3 or 4 at a time and don’t run the recharge speed perk
that's fair. what capstone do you like in that build?
Disrupt destiny
It’s so good because of the multiplicative damage with scriers
The other nice part about assail there is the alt fire for assail targets heads so it’s an ammo efficient way to build DD stacks
agreed. hmm, maybe I just need to rein in assail usage... it's definitely better against hordes
true. yeah I wanted to run Dueling Sword with gaze/DD because of the fast crits and high finesse but ended up switching to Illisi to handle hordes better. and to regain toughness with Soulstealer like I mentioned
I could probably get away with dueling sword if I had better positioning lol
Funnily enough I think dueling sword has decent enough horde clear
I run rampage on it for that reason
Its all about trying to funnel enemies and keeping just enough range
which mark of sword? I think i was using a MK IV and I kept getting overwhelmed
I don’t remember srry
Not at my computer atm srry
Lemme look it up see if the picture matches
I think it’s the IV
ah actually I was using the Mk II. Because it has that vanguard H2 but that wasn't helping much
The thing that helped me out was running movement speed on scriers gaze. The backpedaling boost is nice
Dueling Sword has good horde clear if you use sciers, otherwise it's meh
Ye
speaking of ds4
So I analyze when is a good time for scriers and if I think a horde is light enough I’ll just assail to save my scriers for later
has anyone checked if rampage clears any better than shred
because i kinda feel like theyre roughly equal 30% extra damage doesnt feel like much on lmb spam when you get more crits
Maybe if you check how much cleave you get from Rampage
I feel like it doesn’t need shred and riposte tbh it’s too much crit chance
its just damage not power tho
no such thing
until you hit cap
do you get any extra cleave?
rampage tooltip lies
it gives power
not damage
but anyways, shred is generally considered better because dueling sword has massive finesse ratio
I know but I mean that crit stacking after a certain point has diminishing returns
rampage might have slightly better horde clear, but you just don't use it for horde clear, you use a staff or blitz for that instead
no
crit chance is additive, no DR
I know
apparently you don't xd, shred+uncanny is the standard iirc, riposte or precog are also really good
If a weapon has 5% crit chance and increase it by 5%, you’ve doubled its crit chance, but going from 50 to 55 is only a 1.1x increase
That’s what I mean
Increasing crit is less significant the more crit you have
well, it's pointless tbh, since the game does have real diminishing returns and multiplicative stats
and you are wrong about 1.1x increase, in crit chance sure
but the average dps boost stays the same
Finesse
Critical and Weakspot Power: [1.88 - 2.63]
considering we are stuck at 80% mod scores, i'll give you, 240% damage on crits
on the other hand, you'll practically have 17.5% crit chance (7.5 base, 5 grey node, 5 crit aura) or 22.5% if you decide to run a crit chance perk, so I could twist the argument in my favor by saying that shred or riposte is a ~2x boost in crit chance
the dps increase of 5% crit chance, besides overcapping past 100% chance, remains constant
which is why I do not look at relative improvements in crit chance at all
Yeah I do run riposte. I’m saying that I think shred and risposte is unessisary and I would rather use rampage instead of shred
yea relative improvement in weapons usually mean oppurtunity cost, even if you focus on damage, you would want precog over rampage
oh you mean stacking them both
The only thing I’m claiming is I think riposte and shred combined is unessicary
you always take uncanny imo, simply too good of a blessing and lets you handle crusher packs
Yes
yeah I would never do that optimally
actually you and arco
with how crit adms work
if uncanny is removed
shred+ riposte could be the best build
well, it is normal
Uncanny doesn’t do much for me I two shot crushers anyways so the just die before I can stack it in the first place
surely there is another crusher though, since it is a buff on you
there is the mythical crusher oneshot that needs uncanny
in addition, since duellies don't have >1x adms, uncanny is at least a 1.25x damage in increase on everything that's not unarmored or infested
requires perfect mod score distribution, perfect perks, precog uncanny, and boosting the fuck talents
this
I'm going to murder this fucking autocorrect
tho the mythical crusher oneshot is more of a hypothetical, but it might be easier to reach post crafting and itemization rework
tbh i wouldn't go crit chance perk
the scriers DD ds4 crit one shot 😎
i know i know it's +1 stack when you crit
Swap Crit chance to smth else
but the oppurtunity cost vs 25% to unyielding, maniac, or even unarmored is better
pygex says crit chance though
Burn baby burn
also wtf why cant i have this on my vet 😦
warp nexus+ talents already give 100% uptime of on crit talents like EE and PT
pygex is wrong on this one specific issue
i see thx
Wish we can transfer weapons to other classes that can use them
5% crit chance perk with 76% burn and your other sources of crit, basically means you only hit max stacks 3%~faster assuming an enemy lives that long
hence why I am also against scrier's purge, venting flames can go over the cap and 20% crit chance is not worth it imo
ehm you mean 77?
im pretty sure 15 stack is at 77?
as always since this opinion is controversial, i will accept any video or other hard evidence otherwise, but I'm going to trust the person who did the math once
is flamer and purge burn BP one point off?
that's so fucking weird
it's also 76% for purg
okay so fatshark isn't driving me crazy (as much)
but burn is also the rate of applying stacks,
(i lied the ds4 heavies do have >1x adms on flak, so uncanny is a 1.23x increase)
pen probably isnt helpiung
iirc its giving a bigger boost than intended
unless your just taking that straight from code i dont remember DS ADMs off the top of my head
nah i took the numbers from the calculator
at minimum, 23% (Flak)/25% damage to all armor types besides unarmored and infested is pretty pog
having it be even more useful if your adm is below 1x
in my mind, i labelled the ds4 as having "normal" adms so just initially just assumed that it would have 100% adms at most
what's it's weakest adm? carapace or unyielding
carapace yeah
uncanny is a 1.62x improvement
and ds4 heavies do 100% to maniac and unyielding
very sane blessing
really makes you think
they kept the old uncanny numbers and buffed rending (additive and has an effect past 100% adms for 4 armour types)
this would never have consequences at all
This has zero consequences I am illiterate and i put shred uncanny on everything that doesnt have uncanny slaughterer
old multiplicative rending that could reduce your damage
Uncanny precog
we must return to tradition
so true
the old days of unpushable poxbursters
and if you pushed them they didnt deal any infested damage at all
so the other bursters were just staggered
:)
unpushable dogs
just wait for them to pounce and let a buddy kill them before you seperate
Let me run this shit on my zealot FatShark
With the ds4
Totally balanced
really feel like this should proc on specialists 😭
many such cases unfortuantely
100% Yes
Sorry for the ping
does deadly accurate also do what it says?
The 3 wound smite psyker that raged at me in voice while I clutched for 5 minutes is still living rent free in my head
Basically
Didn't get screwed over by a bulkwark wall or Crushers
yeah, it is an honest good boy blessing that does not lie
Wouldnt this be 100% uptime on dog waves lol
like, 3 woudn curios?
1 on damnation
ah okay less bad
but still
how the fuck do you play the game with wounds you have so little toughness and hp with wounds
i feel called out bc i use a wound curio opn smite lol
The part that keeps me up at night is that he was mad at me for kiting and doing loops
only class id unironically run a wound curio on is vet since some builds let you get +50 toughness
I simply cannot fathom the mindset to get mad at that
Early on. I get having a extra wound to give you a better "Buffer" to mistakes when you first dip into Heresy and Damnation
i would have quit the game near the respawn point
even then, sometimes its unavoidable
i thought about it once when i clutched a game with 3 revolver vets that STOLE ALL THE FUCKING AMMO AND TRIPPLE TAPPED AMMO CRATES
I would too but I named myself iHateAuricQuitters
i like a wound to fall back on if i getoverwhelmed and my team isnt nearby
based
You should try 2 wounds
if i die its on me
You die less with more health
i feel ashamed running psyker with wounds

just type "HNNNNNNNNNNNNG" in chat every time you blow up
One of my vet builds 
i type psyker moment
SON OF A BIT---- Pop
the prior events of my life have culminated into this cirumstance
go AWAY
have a full paragraph on copy paste reminiscing your life's choices
NO NONONONO NOT NOW I STILL HAVENT FINISHED MY SHIP IN A BOTTLE I HAVENT LIVED I HAVENT SEEN TERRA ,I HAVENT....(28 lines)
Need to scratch Monster off as well
one of you invite me
Currently loading back in game
silo cluster t4 is up should be fine
might be a bad time game kicked me from mourning star to char select
i think fatshark forgot to pay rent
will have to pull out my purgatus BB build then
LETS DO IT ANYWAYS
try this
almost the same except I went with the 7.5% damage againt elite
I am Bobby
I like it with my double wall to poke Mutie
bruh that was unlucky
I was bad mostly
i got grabbed while i was ulting
vigil station low intensity is up
lets try that
tho that mission gets BoN a lot
@halcyon gustyour turn
Thanks Blahaj fren 
no worries
Have you done the Wakening rite ?
Have you recited the 89 litanies of not crashing?
I won't crash as I don't attempt the shark friend code
F
When other psykers blow up(cause I obviously never do) I tell them "It's okay, it happens to men of all ages"

Holy shit the lag
eu region
Even EU regions I get around 130-140 Ping roughly~
And I have pretty good internet on my end
Yeah
wait that excise vault
Maybe we get a early DH
we can try i have shield
Thanks Mate
no problem
Have a shark size 🍪
kinda funny that we have to commit suicide to get weekly progression on missions we quit lmao
Plasteel is Plasteel
peak performance
"I LET YOU SOLO" 
Just need handful of scab kills and 2 games where players don't die to stupid reasons and weekly is done with Psyker
the long lost brother of this dude
now just gotta download shirtlessmod_freeroblox_rat.zip.exe
Good, it's an .exe so it auto installs
Chat is this REAL?
Roll it 
it goes hard ngl
bruh why does brainburst at zero peril need 16 damage to one shot a hound

it used to never one shot

if u ask arcotash he will tell u it shouldnt one shot hounds ever
bro hates fun smh
besides that usuing melee is unironically better for dealing with dogs unless they're on someone far away
👁️ 👁️
Opportunistic one-shots while they're running off also good though
no thanks I'd rather ammo dump on them to repeatedly knock them away from somebody trying to bonk them once
personally id rather play hot potato with the dog while push spamming it
Taking mind flayer to be able to one shot dogs at zero peril
Ok the red drug is strong uh
Not sure about force push, but the knife punch does
