That's not gayming

Get stadia

Lol game on something else through a Mac is not the answer lol

lyric burrow
#

The average mac is also the price of a gaming pc

Or more

haughty star
#

And it can't game

lyric burrow
#

Huge value honestly

upper sun
#

Ummm actually some of us have more important things to do than game

haughty star
#

If you have important things to do you use windows

lyric burrow
#

Good thing every other pc cant do these things

upper sun
#

I need my mac so i can move files from my IPhone to my Mac very quickly and check my email

Yes

the funny kill all chaf in a 40 meter radius button
that creeping flames 🙃

#

Creeping Flames are goated
That's just fax
Unfortunately

#

They should figure out a way to make shield do some damage

Like things inside of bubble take dot

#

my psyker tends to never go below ~30% peril while in combat

haughty star
#

Mine rarely ever sees the low side of 80

rain meadow
#

and if i get a couple of battle meditation proc off of it...

haughty star
#

Ewwwwe BM

rain meadow
#

🤷

rain meadow
#

any time spent manually quelling in combat is time NOT spent purging heretics with warp flame

#

it is time wasted

#

and with the number of chaf enemies I kill, i get a pretty decent amount of BM procs

#

worth

supple dock
#

Warp Rider and One With The Warp are too massive to not upkeep imo

#

UNLESS you're using scrier's gaze or focusing on using smite

#

and I'm pretty sure those are the only real times to use battle meditation too

#

Maybe if you use transfer peril/warp flurry void

haughty star
#

My buddy was watching me do the smite and surge with charges thing the other day and he said watching me was giving him anxiety lol

supple dock
#

so smite with charges is fine if you aren't focusing on smite

#

If you use it almost exclusively for "oh shit make a little space" then that's fine

#

If you wanna use smite to dominate the world? Need EP

analog agate
#

Yes

haughty star
#

But smite+shriek spam is pretty hilarious at times once you shout a couple times

upper sun
#

man i hope they dont nerf anything with the crafting update

#

there are still so many disgusting weapons that i couldnt built

#

i wanna try out all the cancer before its fixed

rain meadow
#

looking at their reasoning about how they came to that conclusion

#

im inclined to agree?

upper sun
#

just gimmie a week to enjoy shit 😭

#

my best rashad has unarmored 3 flak 4 decap4 brutal 4

#

i wanna at least try it with unarmored 4 and headtaker 4 before it gets braught back in line

rain meadow
#

despite SOUNDING insane, his reasoning is pretty good

upper sun
#

tanner

#

OK thank god

rain meadow
#

yeah, ik

upper sun
#

yeah ive seen that

rain meadow
#

so you know what im getting at

#

he SOUNDS deranged

#

im not arguing that

upper sun
#

he is

rain meadow
#

but like

#

his reasoning is pretty sound

supple dock
#

from what I've heard

#

psyker is going to be getting hit with the nerffstick

#

which yeah fair enough

#

I just wonder how they're gonna do it

upper sun
#

that was an old buildof the crafting update

#

also there is no use in theory crafting until they come out with the Q&A

rich spindle
#

He soubds like mandark from dexters lab

upper sun
#

besides they said more than once you keep everything and you get a choice with all blessings and perks

#

my theory is you lets say they release a new weapon

#

you get xp on that weapon for upgrading it from a base

#

and for playing that weapon

rich spindle
#

I dont care if they change everything up massively most of the blessings are boring

upper sun
#

the more you play it or upgrade it the higher perks and blessings you can put on it

rain meadow
upper sun
#

if you just buy a base and roll say groaners stamina bs blessings you have them in t3-t4

rich spindle
#

Id also like it if the blessings became way worse overall and maelstroms became legitimately hard even for vets

rain meadow
#

i think that would likely be best for the health of the game
if its not, everyone who has reallllllly good weapons right now is going to be not happy

upper sun
#

but if you wanna change them into something you want you have to use T1s until you level up with the weapon

#

if you have max xp with the weapon

rain meadow
#

ex: powercycler

upper sun
#

sorry brother

#

but yeah if you have max xp you can put any t4 you want

#

thats how i'm hoping it would work

rain meadow
#

i dont have BM on a TON of weapons, and they gain a LOT of power out of it

#

and grinding a whole bunch of pretty much dead axes until i find one with BM just isnt my idea of fun

upper sun
upper sun
#

you can legit feel the difference between BM t3 and t4

#

idc what people say

rain meadow
#

BM is kind of a special case tho, as it adds an incredibly flexible mechanic to weapons that can obtain it

rich spindle
#

Isnt the difference 5% weakspot

rain meadow
#

with the added benefit of just

#

more weakspot damage

upper sun
rain meadow
#

which EVERY weapon wants

upper sun
#

idc

#

i can legit feel it

rich spindle
#

Thats placebo bro

upper sun
#

rashad has such fucking strict breakpoints

rain meadow
#

hell, even if it was JUST more weakspot damage
BM would be pretty good

upper sun
#

every bit helps

#

IDC LALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU

rich spindle
#

Dont u have decapitator

upper sun
#

ye

rich spindle
#

That might be why

upper sun
#

maybe

rain meadow
#

although, yeah i forgot BM does actually start at 1

upper sun
#

finesse with any extra weakspot does WORK

rain meadow
#

power cycler, on the other hand...

#

does ACTUALLy start at 3

#

and uh
power cycler gud

With headtaker you would not notice

like its crazy

with one swing you can kill 4 groaners

#

The amount of Mastery XP is based on what difficulty the player plays. The higher the difficulty, the higher amount of XP is awarded. Experience gained will remain the same, no matter the weapon you use the most during a mission.

If you fail a run, you will be awarded a portion of the XP just as with normal Experience and Ordo Docket rewards.

"Also, loot is still part of the system. The fact that we are still keeping the RNG loot system in place (Emperor’s Gift, Sire Melk’s Requisitorium, The Armoury Exchange, and the ability to Consecrate weapons at Hadron’s Shrine with random upgrades, etc) will allow players to get to weapon builds that they have not unlocked in their Mastery before they actually get there.

AAAAAAAAAAA LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

rich spindle

Soooo wont 330s technically be better than 380s now

Because you can improve the 330 to an ideal distribution

But the 380 cant be decreased in dump stats

that assuming its cheap to upgrade to 380

ripe obsidian

330s are still random distribution

Yes but less likely to have "wasted" stats

You can't say, "I will max damage and spread and drop mobility"

The stats are predefined.

if its already "ok" at 330 itll be great at 380

untold niche
#

if it took as much resources to upgrade from 330 to 380
as an average amount to get a god roll 380, then not much diff

because chances are you never would have kept a 330 wthat doent have max damage or max first target

you could just need one roll to roll a god roll 380.

From what im understanding each weapon is rolled as a potential 380

I like seeing that. Same rng system will remain. So if ai don’t want to struggle through a weapon that sucks early on without good blessing I can always just do what I do now

Most things you dodge in this game are timing based, not distance based anyways

Considering we're getting new blessings (probably in the vein of the new weapons, aka more gimmick based rather than straight up numbers buffs)

I am hoping and praying

That force swords get some mercy killer style synergy with soulblaze

Flechette scriers gaze ❤️

Honestly i can imagine some stuff like:
Hitting enemies with soulblaze increases soulblaze damage/deals more damage (probably won't do a straight up mercy killer but soulblaze blessing)

#

Maybe on the purgatus staff, enemies that hit max soulblaze stacks explode

#

(tbf that should be on the staff itself as basekit, it sounds way too cool)

is there any way for a purga + ds4 build to be good?
since ds4 needs DD and purga can't headshot

assail?

but even with assail would it be subpar

purge DS4 is like one of the strongest combos you can take

#

DS4 would be fine without DD

#

DD helps but its not needed

#

uncanny + stupid high base damage already puts in a lot of work

BB would be the common choice with that since assails role is already covered although assail wouldnt be bad

so ep BB > DD assail in this case?

DS4 is pretty strong without DD

EP BB + purge is great.

Normally

If your taking dd id probably take assail base BB is like unusable because its so slow

If your fine with EP take BB

doesn't purga have high crit already. i understand it will help with ds4 though.

I like cdr because cdr and the peril toughness. but yeah, mind in motion is sucky compared to MM

reality anchor or precog? (for gaze)

it's not even that purg has a massive crit rate, it fires stupidly fast at a decent crit rate

Reality anchor gives you like 1-2 stacks more

Precog on the other hand gives you a lotta stacks for just a couple weakspot kills

And more bonuses

untold niche

pygex

#

do you quell while in gaze?

near wyvern
#

If I don't have anything to hit then yes

#

Unless I want it to wear off and reset for next fight

#

So basically only if I miss time the start

#

Unless I do the sweaty staff lord gaze in which case you quell a lot here and there until you can't hold the Emperor's might anymore and you need to surrender your body for the enormous load

untold niche
#

hmmmm, im thinking if i should forgo solidity. and take BM and the movement speed increase, but that would prob hurt my mixed horde clear since solidity would help when using purga

near wyvern
#

Yeah don't give up on faster quell if you use staves

#

The only time to really pair BM with Gaze is for the achievement or if you run void with transfer peril for gaze

untold niche
#

i tried running void + gaze once (without transfer peril) and it was fucking miserable

near wyvern
#

It is doable but you have to sweat a lot to be on par with just any regular void build

untold niche

i didn't even know when i should quell lol, that was a

I would go smite instead of Assail and use void

#

nah the build is for the weapons rather than the other way around
(yoshi was saying to take ep BB. hmmm)

near wyvern
#

If you want to build for the weapons you are missing a lot by not taking warp siphon keystone

#

For Purga

#

DS is fine even without DD

#

And Gaze finally works with warp siphons

#

You could use Purga to get faster gazes

#

EP BB also works yes

#

But if you want gaze gimme sec

untold niche
#

for the ult

#

i don't really mind anyh

#

but i just chose gaze because i saw gaze reducing ds BPs

does ep BB feel better, or warp

This is what I would recommend to start with, alternative talents marked with same colour circles

#

Feel free to mod from there ofc

#

Gaze purg is pretty hard to pull off

near wyvern

Yeah but with this you wouldn't be purging while you are gazing

untold niche
#

for assail?
Also. no need for 6 charge?

Yes but not mandatory, if you drop the 5% movement speed you could also go for mind in motion to use Assails at the beginning of your gaze

You won't have enough time to get 6 stacks

why?

i was trying to get back to psyker after like 6 months of not playing but got ogryn brain in the middle of reading the atheneum

near wyvern
#

Not if you play it like this

untold niche
#

can you elaborate a lil

rich spindle
#

You spam gaze for lingering damage increase

near wyvern
#

@winter bloom while you are at there take a look at shock maul and combat blade attack string tables and feel free to give feedback (can you understand it or not)

Already discussed with friend, gonna change the BG colour and things a bit to make less contrast with Steam guide BG and push symbol gonna be changed to something similar to ✋

untold niche
winter bloom
#

did you see the updated ogrynomicon with attack patterns?

rich spindle
#

Youre gonna miss out the less you spam

winter bloom
#

i think thats a good format

rich spindle
#

Thats why gaze purg is so hard

near wyvern
#

@untold niche if you want to play warp siphons for damage you take panic bubble

For creeping flames and gaze you use warp charges to spam those ults and try to get your value from spamming the ults not the passive buff for holding on to charges

near wyvern
untold niche
rich spindle
#

P much

#

Warp is the vehicle to spam gaze

winter bloom
#

on another note, its easy to differentiate the attacks with the icons, but the number for light/heavy is harder to see
id suggest adding a big number in the corner of the attack icons

near wyvern
winter bloom
#

it does tell you, but in text below the table, so if you prefer showing the combos with icons outright thats fine

near wyvern
#

Yeah I gotta at least try to keep the reading time under 5 hours

winter bloom
#

here i thought psykers would be able to read more than ogryns KEKW_ogryn

rich spindle
#

But. This playstyle is really hard for me to play. If you use gaze at the wrong time you won't be able to spam purg staff until it finishes.

winter bloom
#

lookin forward to it, will probably poke more around this channel for stuff

untold niche
near wyvern
#

And also makes it easier to unload Assails at the start of gaze and also you can pop gaze at 30-50 instead of always at 0

#

Since you can just quell it down in the beginning

untold niche
#

oh yeah i think you said that but i didn't fully understand, so sorry.
And you said the true aim is for assail right?

near wyvern
#

Yes

#

Does nothing for Purga and nothing for melee weapons

#

It's up to preference

untold niche
#

can i swap mind in motion for the second assail node, or its better to take mind in motion for quell during gaze

rich spindle
#

Interesting. Can the purg not proc true aim..

untold niche
#

im very sorry pygex :v

near wyvern
untold niche
#

uh yeah thats true.

#

i was thinking that i might need it if there was a second batch of gunners, but i guess at that point i would pop gaze and slide over there

untold niche
near wyvern
#

If you time it right you only loose around 10%-5% movement speed

supple dock
#

a defensive measure that's very much worth the price

near wyvern
#

And you are ofc immune to ranged while sliding

near wyvern
#

Spring slide quell is not fast enough for keeping gaze in control

#

And that's just purely because if you pop gaze at 50% and don't quell at all it's not gonna last for long

untold niche
#

So you mean to say with mind in motion I can assail to stagger from far range, which will bring up my peril, and then immediately quell and walk up to continue doing what I need to do?
And I can't do that without mind in motion because I will be a tortoise.

But wouldn't quell walk be quite slow as well.

#

Like quell walk with MIM

#

I assume you can't sprint

near wyvern
near wyvern
#

Without mind in motion it's hard to use any ranged options while in gaze

untold niche
#

Dumb question why can't I pop gaze AFTER doing the assail stagger sprint and quell.

#

Gaze changes assail BP?

#

Isn't gaze activation pretty fast

near wyvern
radiant frigate
#

force greatsword when?

near wyvern
# untold niche Isn't gaze activation pretty fast

Activation yes but let's recap the situation here:

  • sprint slide assail
  • spring slide assail
  • sprint slide assail

And now you have reached melee range. You pop gaze and you are at 30% peril. Without mind in motion you have to start bashing. With mind in motion you can move a bit more while first quelling to zero OR you can melee the dudes and then quell back to zero.

You could do the latter without mind in motion but it's a lot riskier without it since you can't reposition while doing it.

radiant frigate
untold niche
# near wyvern Activation yes but let's recap the situation here: - sprint slide assail - spri...

Why would you quell at melee range. Wouldn't you get hit either way. I mean you can dodge yeah but that seems like such a dumb thing to do.
Ignoring that, from what I understand of what you said, MIM doesn't change this.

So the thing MIM would change is quelling after melee. I imagine that the only instance MIM would help here, is when you need to walk out of ranged fire while quelling. Is that correct?
Why not just dodge slide then?

#

Pygex please don't secretly hate me

near wyvern
# untold niche Why would you quell at melee range. Wouldn't you get hit either way. I mean you ...

That's why you have the +20% movement speed. Footwork is a thing. Don't forget the enemy shooters as well. The only purpose to ever pick MiM is to guell while in Gaze to extend it during repositioning or to reset it to zero at the beginning of it.

Remember, more stacks means more damage and the peril gen ramps up over time but is momentarily slowed down when you kill stuff -> quelling is more valuable at the beginning of gaze, killing is more valuable at the end of gaze (and also enjoys bigger stacks on buffs).

Why not just dodge slide? Cause you combine them both for maximum speed.

Hmmm. And just to make things crustal clear.

Gaze is strictly for my ds4?

#

Or do I use it with afterburn from purga

#

Like do I puff puff then activate gaze

#

Or strictly

#

Ds4

near wyvern
#

The damage buff does increase your soulblazd damage but yes gaze is mainly for your DS4.

Without MiM you puff puff trash, quell, pop gaze, finish elites, let gaze run out.

With MiM you puff puff, pop gaze, level the trash, quell a bit, finish the elites, dash to next group and level that with DS4 until gaze end.

#

You can but there is more to footwork than just dodging

untold niche
#

The enemies run straight at you

#

Either side dodge or dodge back

#

No cryge

near wyvern
#

With enough movement speed it becomes possible to escape some melee attacks by simply moving

#

The melee tracking range is not unlimited

untold niche
#

Most zombos do that insane lunging attack

near wyvern
#

Trash yes

untold niche
#

If they do the slow one then yeah I see that happening

near wyvern
#

But to be honest I don't recommend gaze builds just because you cannot end it prematurely

untold niche
#

Fucker you, you make it sound so fun

near wyvern
#

If you could toggle it off for a small refund on CD it would be so much better

untold niche
#

Sounds like the fun I had when learning how to position with void

near wyvern
#

It is fun but very risky and you could achieve the same if not more by playing creeping flames

#

It's the closest you can get to a melee psyker, let's put it like that

#

The only problem is, you still don't have enough toughness gen and big enough toughness and HP pool to be a proper melee class

untold niche
near wyvern
#

Void can be played both, I like to play it quite up front so I have easier time lining the trash with the ranged but if there are a lot of elites I tend to fall back a bit to give myself some time to hit them

long wharf
#

I'm not a fan of gaze at all

untold niche
#

If there are alot of elites I just stand my ground. Only when there is a mauler or crusher then I start walking back while charging and shooting. And only when the overhead comes then i back dodge slide

#

Have to be true man

#

That tactic never failed me

#

Void stagger is reliable

#

PC also reliable

#

Only time I would backlike is if its a very nice corridor and director says no progress for 30 seconds by dpawnjv in massive amounts of shit

#

But that's more of

#

No reason to frontline

#

And mh teammates want to frobtline so I don't move rather than me purposefully backlining

near wyvern
#

Let's just say there is a reason I have 8 example builds in Atheneum and only one of them uses Gaze

untold niche
#

Or puff puff only really for killing zombos

near wyvern
#

I suggested a build only because you wanted to try it out, but I would go creeping flames spam or bubble with purga

untold niche
#

Like the way I see it. If not confident can handle mixed horde with small puff and ds4 gaze, puff more first

#

Idk why but bobble purga seems really lame for me

near wyvern
#

You could go double shield as well for the kinetic resonance double buff for lulz

#

Bubble is just so good against beast of nurgle

#

And provides a safe spot from ranged

#

This is the Purga build I recommend

#

That's all about spamming soulblaze on two fronts

#

And the kinetic resonance across the map is also very nice

#

When you have gunners or a crusher pack inc

subtle igloo

It works really well

I use perfect timing and all crit related perks with it

i'd dump warp res or quell speed on purg though

And just spam secondary

don't need crit chance perk with warp nexus, already gives you 100% uptime on empathetic evasion and perfect timing, and you want 76% burn for maximum stacks+ highest stack application rate

i haven't changed anything on it and I just recently hit level 30 so I'm wondering if I should just get rid of it and reroll a new one or what

It's shockingly good for a pre-30 staff, pun intended

just a good staff period

hmm while im not that big on surge id say the same changes as the one send ealier

sweet beacon
#

barrage to warp nexus and crit hit dmg to flak

quartz barn

crit dmg to flak and ter bar to nexus

clear bridge
#

Crit dmg to flak and Barrage to Nexus and you'll have a really good staff ngl

quartz barn
#

lol

clear bridge
#

....lmao there's an echo in here

clear bridge
#

Is it worth doing maniac over flak?

quartz barn
#

no its because this is the psyker chat

clear bridge
#

Does Flak hit any breakpoints?

quartz barn
#

i think it does but idk about dmg values

#
  • i dont think maniac will hit rager breakpoint
#

i usually just go with flak because you get more use out of it

brittle wigeon
#

it leaves ragers at like 2% under half HP

#

so 2 full charge surges kills it

quartz barn
#

outside of a few select weapons where maniac is actually just better like ds4

brittle wigeon
#

if I had manic I still think it would be 2 shots not 1

quartz barn
#

ye so just get flak

#

and if i get proven wrong by the number bois in here you can always swap flak to maniac thumbsup_ogryn

brittle wigeon
#

flak and change barrage to nexus.... now to get a t4 nexus blessing

#

if you could in theory change the 8% elite to anything else

#

what would you change it to

#

also maniac probably has a breakpoint on the tox flamer

#

😭

#

omfg it leaves trappers with literally 1hp

#

at heresy

quartz barn
#

that would mean it currently does 674 dmg

#

so with maniac% it would do 838 dmg

#

which still doesnt kill in damn because they have 900 hp

brittle wigeon
#

the staffs gotta go.....

#

also I kinda like the supression so I may keep it

quartz barn
#

nah its fine

brittle wigeon
#

warp nexus is crit chance right?

quartz barn
#

stuff like this is barely noticable

#

crit chance based on peril%

lethal lagoon
#

Some people consider elite damage on surge the meta

#

Second choice I mean of course

#

Flak is the clear first choice

brittle wigeon
#

i'll eat the flak chance forsure

quartz barn
#

ye ngl i couldnt think of a change for elite

#

outside of maniac i guess

brittle wigeon
#

cause I hate needing todo more then 1 on those STUPID ARMORLESS NAKED GUYS

#

THE ONES WITH THE SHINY HELMET, NO EYES, STOP EATING ALL MY DAMAGE

#

sorry

lethal lagoon
#

Flak + elites, unyielding, maniacs, 5% crit chance are the main options.

brittle wigeon
#

I believe I want to keep the supression, the 8% does help me 1shot some elites at heresy in the psykerium or whatever it's called

lethal lagoon
#

No.

#

Terrifying barrage is only terrifying in how useless it is.

brittle wigeon
#

but I'll keep it open incase in a week I go "mmm crit chance"

#

oh is it that bad???

lethal lagoon
#

Categorically one of if not the worst blessing.

#

Like just across the whole game

brittle wigeon
#

okay so literally my choices are

#

warp flurry (GODTIER) holyshit I'm so happy I got a t4 blessing of it

lethal lagoon
#

For Surge? There is no choices. You have Warp Flurry and Warp Nexus

brittle wigeon
#

run n gun (idk)
focused channeling (seems useless)
warp nexus (funny crit chance)

brittle wigeon
#

or is the crit chance that good....

lethal lagoon
#

You are supposed to peril edge for warp rider anyways, so you will be sitting at an extra 15-20% crit most of the time.

#

Peril edging means you fire your rmbs at 60-80% and don't quell all the way down.

#

But if you are really new, don't worry about that too much

brittle wigeon
#

got it

#

tysm

lethal lagoon
#

Flak + elites is pretty good.

#

Here's a standard Surge build btw, spam RMB and then use Shriek at 85% for max warp stacks.

#

Shriek will kill all normal mobs, ranged mobs, bruisers, and snipers if used at 85%+ peril.

brittle wigeon
#

yippee I love smite!!!

lethal lagoon
#

This is mostly a "There's no reason to take BB" type deal.

#

It's meant for using Surge staff like 90-95% of the time and spamming shriek

#

But yeah it's there as an emergency button

quartz barn
#

hell ye another blitzless build

lethal lagoon
#

If you wanna main smite, this is what I recommend.
Get EP Stack, smite till at least 85%, use shriek, keep holding smite, most of the map dies.
Also pairs with Surge staff well.

brittle wigeon
lethal lagoon
#

I hope the difference isn't you use bubble

i use shriek

haughty star
#

Bubble is fine to use so long as you know how to use it lol

quartz barn
#

is there a wrong way to use bubble?

#

outside of build

#

the only thing i can think of is using it on top of yourself whenever you're standing on a grate so it places it outside of the map

jovial juniper
#

Or placing behind you

#

But who would do that

gilded viper
#

Smite is just being used for the bonus damage for dots no?

upper sun
#

smite does damage

gilded viper
#

technically, but I don't think anyone runs smite for damage

analog agate

EP smite does damage that I would consider actual dmg even outside of shriek. Regular smite? Yeah, that is used to keep em in place for shriek mostly

supple dock
#

Oh, and perilous

of course

anyone try once human?

I'm glad EP smite does something

winter bloom

Squezing an entire horde sounds good

gilded viper
#

I never considered it myself, but it's neat it does that (With 85+ peril flames)

haughty star
#

It's one of the if not technically the strongest psyker lol

supple dock
#

in terms of raw damage? Not quiiiite there

#

in terms of facerolling the game?

#

yeah probably

haughty star
#

Eh depending on horde size I can't think of something that would output more raw dps

supple dock
#

blazing trauma

haughty star
#

It only does better tje bigger the hordes get. BT is a much smaller aoe

supple dock
#

bt is massive aoe, sec

No blazing is massive

haughty star

Nothing is as massive as the funni yell or smite

I've used it a few times and felt it was kinda meh

analog agate
#

I’m fully prepared for then to nerf blazing for update. Even though it isn’t used by 99% of psykers

supple dock
#

you crit twice and everything not an elite in that circle dies

gilded viper
#

I mean to each their own, may also depend on your traumas aoe stat

haughty star
supple dock
#

no

#

this is the actual blazing proc

I used trauma before I got a good blazing with flurry + channeling pre patch 13. It was still really good

supple dock
haughty star
gilded viper
#

then idk skill issue

analog agate

Trauma will always be insanely good unless they change it to having a stagger limit/no infinite cleave

supple dock
#

yeah at that point it's understanding the weapon

haughty star
#

I was a little off

analog agate
#

What beaut

supple dock
#

oh. you don't have warp nexus on it

I wish that was mine

You should get warp nexus on it, you'll feel a lot stronger

question about building my voidstrike: I got surge 4 and wapr nexus 3, with maniac 3 and stam. so stam for carapace and maniac full or get warp nexus 4? or instead of maniac crit chance?

stiff falcon
#

Trauma

#

Both needs to be nerfed

gilded viper
#

I imagine we will see some nerfs considering this update will make it a lot easier to craft ideal stats

analog agate
#

It was so long ago I can’t remember what trauma was like before its bufff

gilded viper
#

Didn't they just buff surge(the blessing), I'm not sure they're interesting in nerfing Void

analog agate
#

Void is fine imo

#

Slow ass charge. Pretty slow ball. Needs a good aim

haughty star
gilded viper
#

Literally all it says is that 380 does not mean 80% on all stats

#

It literally says you can max out all weapons now

analog agate
#

Meh, there will always be some rng which is absolutely fine. If the update just makes it so we have to get a good stat distribution (like we do with Brunt now)… it will be very easy to get god rolls

haughty star
gilded viper
#

Like it in theory might be better to get lower bases as it gives you more stats to add in

analog agate
#

I don’t think that is bad though

gilded viper
#

as all weapons can be made into 380s

haughty star
#

Like this poor shotty with damage as a dump stat

gilded viper
#

just a larger resource sink

haughty star
#

380 don't mean shit it's all about distribution

analog agate
#

Yeah, like now. But it will be more forgiving than it is now

haughty star
#

Word

analog agate
#

Cause you can get a 320 with a potential god roll

haughty star
#

My best revolver has 350 cuz the mobility is 30

upper sun
#

man i legit dont care just give me free blessings and perks

#

i playde this game long enough to have multiple bricked god rolls of each and every weapon

#

name a weapon on any class i have a brick of it

spice veldt
#

also means that currently existing low rating weapons in our inventories might turn out to be good

haughty star
#

I only got like 500 and I've got a decent version of most of the things I've got

If you have weapons with a true dump stat the dump stat will just be brought up

I've been struggling with ogie shield

Got easily 5m ordo dockets into that one

late sapphire
haughty star
#

Oh just play auric man you'll make tons lol

late sapphire
#

Haven't played for a bit so i'm not sure how much each auric gives, might be closer to 20m

#

~500 missions in total, ~250 of that aurics

supple dock
#

auric on average gives 45k ordo dockets per successful mission

late sapphire
#

I have no idea how much you guys must be playing to dump xyz million into one weapon

supple dock
late sapphire
#

Then again i've been spending all of my money on buying weapons with new blessings

supple dock
#

You've earned about this much on the aurics alone

late sapphire
#

Two shields worth

supple dock
#

you can get an auric maelstrom level weapon on average under 5m

All in all i think i'm in the sweet spot where the crafting update will actually be useful

supple dock

(and tbh some weapons you can just take grey into AM)

scrier's hitting crusher oneshot and giving crit chance is a pretty good deeal to me esp since i don't make particularly good use of shield
