[north hatch]

@lethal lagoon Thoughts>

And then I was just gonna use a zarona

[lethal lagoon]

Looks fine, EP smite and shriek doesn't require much

Just go bzzzzzzz

[north hatch]

Wait what did this mean btw

[potent echo]

Brrr

[lethal lagoon]

^ this.

The build is so simple it really doesn't matter what you do as long as you have smite, EP, and creeping flames

[north hatch]

Kk

[vagrant grove]

yeah

[north hatch]

Ty

[lethal lagoon]

Unironically, running this build will make you worse at the game

[vagrant grove]

there are some builds that are really tight but not this one

[lethal lagoon]

You will lose your ability to understand basic game emchanics

[vagrant grove]

i think it might be the loosest

[lethal lagoon]

There is only lightning

[vagrant grove]

TOO REAL

[north hatch]

Isn't this what they said about zealot

[lethal lagoon]

That's different.

[vagrant grove]

whenever I'm super high or drunk I use this build because you can't lose

[lethal lagoon]

You'll be worse at the game, but still be 1st in damage.

With zealot you just get trapped within 5 minutes and then alt f4

[north hatch]

Classic zealot

Gotta love it

[vagrant grove]

either they run off and aggro dump everything and get trapped and die or they orbit around you like a moon made of knives and righteous indignation

[lethal lagoon]

[strong gulch]

am drunk

with power

[latent mauve]

I just leave on smyker in lobby

Same as plasma, exact same reason

[lethal lagoon]

But I mean I'm NA

So like 90% of the people I queue are xbox/gamepass

They don't even know what a "smyker" is.

"is that like smega? are you allowed to say that in chat? Wtf"

[strong gulch]

missing an "m" so I guess it's fine??

[vagrant grove]

Meta builds always attract the best and the worst people

[latent mauve]

I got praise from non auric players today

Worst zealot gameplay for a while

[vagrant grove]

Either they are a named character or they are random guardsman #2

[lethal lagoon]

Last time I got praise it's because I was purposefully hiding in a corner for the vet ammo penance.

They all praised me for clutching.

Like breh, why'd you die.

[latent mauve]

It was consignment yard

So I just kept looping up over the train until the gunners died

[vagrant grove]

I always find it funny when I do simple stuff as psyker and then people go wild in chat

[lethal lagoon]

But it was normal couldn't you just kill everything directly

[vagrant grove]

I think he meant that

they dont normally play auric

[lethal lagoon]

I'm too sleepy to understand what "looping up over the train" meant

[vagrant grove]

because one of them got maelstrom survivor so

oh wait

there

[latent mauve]

It was normal maelstrom

[vagrant grove]

nvm

i forgot that exists

[latent mauve]

The auric maelstrom sucked

[vagrant grove]

im stupid yeah

[latent mauve]

So I refused to play it

[lethal lagoon]

One auric maelstrom is so annoying

There should always be a 89k one or sometihng

Like I get it's probably a playerbase limit, but still

[vagrant grove]

There's always the mod to save missions

[lethal lagoon]

Then ur solo

You can't quickplay an auric mael

So either with friends or solo if you save an auric mael

[vagrant grove]

you can just grab a pub lobby from here

theres always peeps willing

[fresh reef]

going murderhobo mode

[ornate hamlet]

I think the only going you're gonna have with that blindfold is going to fall

[vagrant grove]

psykers have witch sight

they dont need eyes

[mossy oyster]

thats why I use blind fold ^ with assail

[vagrant grove]

eyes are for simpletons

[fresh reef]

Disrupt Destiny is the best keystone for this reason

[latent mauve]

and this is why I play less darktide

I didn't aggro her

[round coyote]

AH GOT EYES SPARKEAD

AIN NO SIMPEL TOWN HERE

[round coyote]

Vibrating stick

[mossy oyster]

this is like

those gag toy guns

you press the trigger

and it slightly tazes/zaps your hand

[round coyote]

Or like the fake revolvers that fire a flag that says bang

[mossy oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-batman-big-gun-gun-jack-nicholson-gif-13724041

[round coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-throw-gun-shoot-desert-gif-15988707

Worth more as a throwing weapon

[mossy oyster]

ok

quick gambling real quick

time to brick

[round coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/blooprint-brick-rust-gif-26443262

[mossy oyster]

oh you are a funny robot hadron

funny indeed

im definitely gonna want HC4 crucian I assume

for gunker purposes

[broken carbon]

hand cannon, keep surgical

[mossy oyster]

hmm

would spamming for crit rate be more beneficial as gunker

or would just sitting with surgical max stacks

to blast a whole group

would be better

[broken carbon]

u could swap one of the perks, probably for elites for dreg gunner one shot

[mossy oyster]

(cause revo has broken cleave)

[broken carbon]

you don’t wait for the max stacks with surgical

[round coyote]

Ok so like basically goated

[mossy oyster]

thats why I want crucian

so I can spam

[broken carbon]

you just ADS for like, half a second

[mossy oyster]

for crit rate

[round coyote]

Hand cannon over PB and then you’re done

[mossy oyster]

without having to care about holdin ADS

[broken carbon]

(as much time as it takes to aim)

[round coyote]

Ehhh it just feels less valuable to me tbh

[mossy oyster]

elite dreg gunner is a 1 tap to the head most of the time anyway

[round coyote]

Up to preference tho

[round coyote]

Shit man you run surgical it definitely will be if you ADS

At all

Good choice

[mossy oyster]

well im gonna be running scriers DD probs

maybe ill try out pygex's EP Assail / Scriers

with revolver

[round coyote]

Scriers with that should fuck. I liked it a lot

Back when yk I played Psyker

I tried going back recently to do bounties and man I just don’t like the other classes anymore lol

Only complaint I have is that Ogryns don’t have too much weapon variety. A good majority of the weapons are just the same weapon as 2 others with different combos

Or fire rates

[vagrant grove]

you cheered for her

[mossy oyster]

probably why I dont play oggys

id enjoy a melee pickaxe build

and gungryn

but need more variety

[vagrant grove]

crucian better on agripina

[mossy oyster]

ik

get to spam with RMB

[round coyote]

I would care abt it more if I used anything other than GG. I’m just waiting on A FIST WEAPON AND MY LIFE IS YOURS FARTSHACK

[vagrant grove]

my favorite

[round coyote]

I use mostly taunt and heavy keystone with rock

[vagrant grove]

surgical and handcannon are basically necessity with the zarona ngl

it's what makes it OP

[upper galleon]

dd assail void

so fun

[round coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-the-rock-eating-rock-gif-13935567355130525471

Me when I see a rock

[vagrant grove]

honestly doesnt look too far off from the faces we get in game

[mossy oyster]

broken

but yes

[round coyote]

Not true. Hug hansum.

[upper galleon]

hmm is wildfire needed with blazing trama

trauma

[broken carbon]

it’s so absolutely overpowered but it is fun

[round coyote]

Doesn’t hurt 🤷‍♂️

Everyone like more fire.

[broken carbon]

wildfire is one of those nice to have (in certain builds) but not really needed talents imo

[upper galleon]

yea but i like going assail

[mossy oyster]

hmmm

[upper galleon]

well the build specifically is ther

[round coyote]

I mean probably not then

It’s not like REQUIRED.

[upper galleon]

my vet has a trauma shovel

oh nyo

[round coyote]

Just nice to have

[broken carbon]

yah, i mean even in that build it’s nice but not needed

[upper galleon]

not that kind of trauma

[broken carbon]

doesn’t significantly increase damage or anything

well

maybe with blazing trauma

idk actually

i just work here

[mossy oyster]

@near wyvern something like this? (mb if I forgot the EP assail gunker setup)

[upper galleon]

i have pc and vetning flames

[mossy oyster]

ok

actually wanna use my axe in revo gunker build

ok time to see if my build tree suckx or not

[round coyote]

Heheheh gunk

Hug like gunk!

Das what dey find at da bottom of thuh torrent!

[mossy oyster]

still hate that this is on my soyker

[round coyote]

Mobility higher than damage is bewildering

Got me like Psyker exploding .gif

[mossy oyster]

if only it was 80 finesse 80 crit bonus

it would really be made for SG then

[round coyote]

Would be made for….. short guy?

Shit goblin? Sore goober? Sour grape?

Options are endless!

[mossy oyster]

hmm

i could just do surgical 4

[broken carbon]

solid

perks r kinda

meh

but

[round coyote]

Really the only change I would’ve suggested otherwise would probably be carapace instead of unyielding but it’s kinda 6 in one hand half dozen in the other

[broken carbon]

good base good blessings

[mossy oyster]

its on scriers anyway

if I was using DS4

crushers still aint a problem

[broken carbon]

my biggest issue with revolver was dreg gunners

[broken carbon]

but idk if ur build can reach their BP

[mossy oyster]

cough scriers

revolver

[broken carbon]

fair

[broken carbon]

i know how scriers gaze works

[mossy oyster]

yea but you went

"muh BP"

twice

lmfao

[broken carbon]

but a downside is you might not be hitting the BP without SG

and you won’t always be having sg up

that’s why i brought it up twice

[potent echo]

Yea only getting the BP during/after SG is kinda blegh

Why not just go DD and get always consistent BPs

[mossy oyster]

because I want to try pygex's EP assail gunker build

i literally have a normal gunker build with DD right next to this one

[potent echo]

I would go full meme and run DBS

[mossy oyster]

only reason for EP assail is if you actually want to use assail in cojunction to being a gunker

[potent echo]

Scriers DBS manstopper brrr

[mossy oyster]

dont have manstopper

which is painful

[potent echo]

F

[mossy oyster]

cause I have a DBarrel like this on my soyker

[potent echo]

DBS EP assail SG sounds really funny

[mossy oyster]

DBarrel / DD / Scriers / Manstopper / Scattershot

[potent echo]

Melee for cara, gun for horde, assail for everything

[mossy oyster]

split the heretical seas

also since I have blood god mod on

[potent echo]

Yuh

[mossy oyster]

and people get forced gibbed its even better

cause I have warp after effects on all my attacks

makes being a gunker cooler

my little knife and columnus leave warp after effects : )

[potent echo]

A real gunk

[mossy oyster]

best mod

[potent echo]

Do they explode when you poke them in the head lol

[broken carbon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1153279327513886770/1260622985673445426/yes.gif

they do this

[mossy oyster]

heres an example

super impact + blood for the blood god

best shit ever

(im acoustic)

and yes

I poke a mutie in his tiny head with a DS4

all his limbs explode off like a lego character (with tiny lil warp effects)

[potent echo]

That's wilds

[sweet beacon]

loud aaah keyboard

[meager hearth]

what's dd assail void I'm level 25

[mossy oyster]

(D)isrupt (D)estiny (Keystone) Assail (Blitz) Void (Stave/Secondary)

[meager hearth]

Voidstave is the laser one right?
I've been using guns since Assail maxes out my peril all the time

[mossy oyster]

void is the charge up shoot ball

like a grenade

basically

[meager hearth]

oooh
my impression of staves at low level was that they sucked

and can't deal with snoipahs that Assail can't reach

I also suck at soyker

[mossy oyster]

you arent wrong

staves do suck at low level

they feel really good with stats + talents

[meager hearth]

so stick to DD Assail scope gun until level 30, got it

[mossy oyster]

yes

[broken carbon]

yeah, trauma staff especially has really wide stat differences between low and high %s, but decent rolls feel infinitely better compared to the stuff you start with

[lethal lagoon]

[broken carbon]

hi atlas

[lethal lagoon]

[broken carbon]

why so sureful

[lethal lagoon]

You know why

[broken carbon]

i don’t actually

r u saying sure i do sarcastically

like i don’t actually know

[lethal lagoon]

Because with your shots on goal, there's no way you've ever shot anything before.

[broken carbon]

how about

i kill u

with rocks

[lethal lagoon]

I will literally stand 5 feet away from you, not move, and never get hit

[broken carbon]

okay but they’re homing rocks that r guaranteed to hit

sooo

boom.

liberal

[lethal lagoon]

That's so like you to need homing rocks

[sacred crane]

siblings i return, have we gotten any new psyker weapons

[broken carbon]

explode

[broken carbon]

nope

[lethal lagoon]

Can't use a weapon without a homing feature

[split lance]

[split lance]

i am not doing good with the smite braindead build

[potent echo]

Do you think the psyker gets to feel the heretics they finger 🤘

[restive ice]

maybe you’re using too many braincells

[split lance]

ill stream it in vc

[restive ice]

knowing how to stream in vc is proof of braincell usage

[split lance]

like 3 buttons????????

[restive ice]

too many

less brane sell

but i got shot A LOT

OHHHHH

[potent echo]

It's low intensity ofc you gonna lose

It scales with density

[split lance]

so run it in a auric?

[potent echo]

Yuh

[split lance]

ok

if this goes terrile

terrible

ima be sad

[north hatch]

Wait does being near enemies reduce the coherency you have with yourself

To 0 instead of 1

Cause I read somewhere that it did and then I tried in the meat grinder and the number didn't go down but idk if meat grinder enemies are different

[potent echo]

Muh

Idk about coherency becoming 0

But shouldnt it be the same as 1

[north hatch]

Idk cause i was told the toughness Regen curio only affected coherency but also that coherency is nullified with enemy proximity

But like if coherency is always at 1 then your base roughness Regen speed is doubled which doesn't seem that bad right?

[lilac sigil]

I mean when you're alone and no enemies around you don't have coherency regeneration, so the idea that it's 1 seems wrong?

[potent echo]

Zealot loner means they are always in 2 coherency

[north hatch]

Ok so you don't Regen coherency if youre alone?

[potent echo]

No you don't, you also don't get Regen in melee even if you are with your team

[lilac sigil]

Yeah you don't regen while alone.

[north hatch]

Ok ok so toughness regens bad then makes sense

[lilac sigil]

I wouldn't really commit to whether you regen faster in a 4-pack with no enemies vs. some enemies near, but that would surprise me. It's never felt like that to me.

But for the curio thing, yeah it's my understanding it only applies to coherency tough regeneration.

[north hatch]

Gotcha ty

[potent echo]

Regen is just turned off when you are in melee

So maybe it's that

But with 1 coherency you don't Regen anyway

At least 2

[lilac sigil]

Is it turned off? I think that's just if you've been hit lately?

[north hatch]

I just thought that the number on the UI would like go down to 0 or something but idk how coherency works

[potent echo]

Turned off in melee

It's like greyed out isn't it

[north hatch]

I read that it was bad on melee zealots cause it doesn't Regen in melee which is why I asked my initial question

[north hatch]

Idk cause I didn't want to get into an actual game

[potent echo]

For loner?

[north hatch]

So I tried in the meat grinder

And it was still at 1

I walked up to the enemies in melee range and the icon never changed

[potent echo]

Loner is mainly useful for ranged engagements so you can twiddle thumbs in cover

[lilac sigil]

Honestly I feel toughness regen is one of the most solid choices, for basically everybody. Just prevents all the little nicks and scratches from eating through if you take more than 1 melee in a short period

[potent echo]

I don't play with the team most of the time so it would have much value for me 🤷‍♂️

Also for psyker you just throw like 3 assails you are back at max anyway

[split lance]

i did better in auric

[north hatch]

But if you're a melee class it's useless apparently and also there's times where you're isolated

[lilac sigil]

Yeah I'm actually not sure if it applies to Loner. Presumably it would, but that's kinda an interesting question

[potent echo]

With mettle and warpkills

[lilac sigil]

Sure, when you're isolated it's not providing any value.

[potent echo]

Gg ez

[north hatch]

I was just wondering cause I made the switch from toughness Regen to combat ability Regen recently

[potent echo]

Why not

For psyker I take max combat ability anyway, nothing much else I care about

Max cdr, max revive speed, one stam Regen, one gunner res, one health boost or smth

Or I might not even have stam Regen anymore I forgor

[north hatch]

Rn I've been doing + toughness for 2 and then 1 +3 stamina

[split lance]

do you have to kill a lot of elites for it to work the best

[north hatch]

And then + toughness + gunner resist + combat ability Regen for all 3

[potent echo]

Yea you just run into the horde and press smite

Shout

[lilac sigil]

lol

[split lance]

okay i was doing that

but like

idk

[potent echo]

Get 10billon damage

[split lance]

id get to max peril really fast after shriek

[potent echo]

It should be enough to kill ragers

[split lance]

hmm

odd

[north hatch]

It kills ragers pretty fast yeah

[potent echo]

Make sure you have EP ofc

[north hatch]

When my smite maxes out a second time I just run around like a headless chicken until I can find somewhere safe or my peril goes down

[split lance]

this was not guaranteed

[potent echo]

You get your EP before you start smiting

[split lance]

ah okay

[potent echo]

Take the elite guarantee one

[north hatch]

Once you get EP to 3 initially it's kinda just permanently up

[potent echo]

Take a revolver or something and shoot some sad shotgunner

[split lance]

so kill elite, smite, shriek, more smite, repeat

[potent echo]

Easy stack

You can have 3 stacks anyway

[split lance]

i was using surge staff but ill go voidstrike, i only have staffs

[north hatch]

Are you just copying that atlas guys build he posted earlier

[split lance]

ye

pretty much

[potent echo]

With the surge staff? Works too I guess

Just make sure you have EP stacks first

[split lance]

ill use voidstrike next

[north hatch]

Try fiddling around too with some of the more flexible perks

[potent echo]

I really hate staff on EP smite because you don't have the peril to do both

[north hatch]

Like he said as long as you have EP smite and shriek

You can spend the rest of your points in whatever way you like

[north hatch]

Ngl maybe it's cause my zarona isn't that great rn but it kinda feels ass to use it without DD or scriers

My only issue with EP smite is I feel useless when a boss comes around

Unless I'm supposed to just smite the boss?

[potent echo]

Melee

[idle plover]

Some madmen. Psykers running with 90 toughness and 4 wounds

[potent echo]

Or run and smite the horde while your team kills the boss

[lilac sigil]

If you were EP+Smite on boss, you just kill everything EXCEPT boss tbh

[potent echo]

Just don't interact with the boss

[north hatch]

Oh yeah I can just stab it with my saber that's fair

Boss doesn't exist if I can't see him

Also I learned today that chaos spawns can just

Leap off the map

And it's an insta kill

[idle plover]

Voidstrike brain rupture

[potent echo]

Pepoleave

[north hatch]

I hate that first bit of swaggers mission so much

[idle plover]

Yes

Ledges and barrels

[north hatch]

But watching chaos spawns just fly off into the distance

Is so funny

[idle plover]

Barrels and daemonhosts

Daemonhosts and monsters

[north hatch]

Btw is warp expenditures ass

Someone said it was and I thought it was pretty good but I might be overestimating it cause I Regen toughness so quickly with the other toughness Regen abilities

And I tricked myself into thinking it adds more to that total regenerated amojnt than it actually does

[strong gulch]

Surge ep smite, you put unyielding on the staff. If you don't want to melee bosses, surge can do meaningful damage to bosses.

[stuck sinew]

There's this really cool feature where you can hold a button and peril go down

[potent echo]

Yea but also what if I wanna shoot something immediately after smiting

[stuck sinew]

You just quell for like half a sec

Edge it

[proper osprey]

Seeing smite ep makes me sad

Just do trauma soul blaze

No need to stun if there’s no hoard

[mossy oyster]

good sticker

[inland whale]

whats the dump stat on this melee?

[vestal fulcrum]

Cleave damage and/or mobility

[brazen rampart]

Imagine fatshark changes the cleave damage to something like critical bonus.

[mossy oyster]

riposte precog is gonna fuck

already does too

[north hatch]

Ngl I know you guys said combat ability Regen is way better than toughness Regen but I feel way tankier with the toughness Regen instead of the combat Regen and it really does feel like I can just wait out the extra 2 seconds it takes to recharge my ability

Maybe it's placebo but I was definitely getting one shot by random shit more often without the toughness Regen

Reading the Athenaeum I guess it agrees, I should've read it before I swapped to combat ability to save resources 😭

[exotic lava]

Toughness regen is useless. It only works on coherency and even then, the toughness regen in coherency stops when enemies are near you.

[upper sun]

bruh i tried the ogryn picks

theyre so fucking over tuned its unreal

how is a knife +4 stamina and a pickaxe +6?

[broken carbon]

really??

i think they’re pretty solid

[broken carbon]

because heavier weapons tend to have more stamina to make up for poor mobility

[upper sun]

🤔

[broken carbon]

thunder hammer has better pushes and stamina but terrible dodges and sprint speed

[upper sun]

shield is +3

[potent echo]

Branx is S tier for sure

[broken carbon]

it’s a good rule but not 100% lol

[potent echo]

The heavy sweep staggers ragers and even kills the first one with thrust

[spring valve]

if its not working do not blame the build, but the player

[delicate ore]

False, always blame everything that isn't you

[manic halo]

got rampage...

https://tenor.com/fmOUVVPIzFK.gif

[magic hazel]

I can fix that... once I get more blessings

[manic halo]

Keep that shit tbh

[magic hazel]

But what about shred? Yay or nay

[magic hazel]

I have rampage 4!

[manic halo]

shreds good

cause more crits is more crits

so swap ramage for uncanny

[magic hazel]

I'm running a crit build anyways so

[magic hazel]

Which one is that

[manic halo]

put that shit in the ground where it deserves

[magic hazel]

Lmao ok

[manic halo]

swap rampage for uncanny strike. gives rending on headshots

[magic hazel]

Ohhhh I have that

[manic halo]

since the swords are pretty easy to headshot its a postive feedback loop

[magic hazel]

Bet

[manic halo]

bet this di-

[magic hazel]

Now how about perks

[manic halo]

the base stats are like...basically god rolls just noticed lol

maniac and unyelding

[magic hazel]

Keep em or

Ok

[manic halo]

its up to u which one ud prefer tho

[magic hazel]

I'll replace block bc more headshots means more yeah

[manic halo]

Im not sure if that would reach more break points tbh I'd keep block efficency. Up to you tho

[magic hazel]

Shit

Too late

[magic hazel]

I am running +9 stamina

Lol

Speed psyker go brrr

[upper sun]

Are you going to imply that I did the wrong thing by removing slaughter 2 off that weapon infavor of deflector 4?

[latent mauve]

Yes

[upper sun]

Well you'd ALL be wrong

my defence deimos is peak

I take issues with the perks that have never seen use if you took KD

[formal harness]

I’m going to make an ultra instinct devils claw demon parry build now

I wanna see how it performs on a dps psyker

[upper sun]

nah its BASED

[latent mauve]

I swapped my 380 rating stop down to a dump stat shop

Should speedrun a few hundred runs and get perfect dumps

[upper sun]

ye thats better

[latent mauve]

It’s going to be so funny when people don’t have an excuse for their builds

[upper sun]

its gonna be worse man

sometimes hadron throws people a bone

now they can choose to self brick

[formal harness]

still waiting for a juicer map to go do exactly that

[upper sun]

hate the new map TBH

Self bricking hurts more cause how rare it is currently

fuuuck that dash skip

[upper sun]

this is why you should look at each and every item you buy off brunt

[latent mauve]

Vovi was “speedrunning” with ogryns that thought dying to the twins was a good speedrun

[formal harness]

lmao I've seen some people do that

[upper sun]

my rule of thumb is dodging any lobby with terrifying barrage

[latent mauve]

Even the brain dead method is more efficient

[formal harness]

i think it's better if you are speedrunning any normal hishock map for xp

[latent mauve]

Find a 3veg

[formal harness]

not even maelstroms

[mossy oyster]

I should do this if I see knife vet with no mercy killer

[latent mauve]

On commsplex and run in a straight line and die

At the mid event

[upper sun]

unironically dying far enough through a maelstrom gives you the same xp as a full sedation mission in 1/4th of the time

[formal harness]

yea, one of the relay station tricks I used to do

[upper sun]

my record is 2k xp in 2 minutes

[formal harness]

finishing a good map is always better tho

[upper sun]

prolly could have gotten more if my fucking friend died and let me start the event

[latent mauve]

[jovial narwhal]

I just like blazing spirit for the extra DoT to synergize

[maiden bronze]

yea i would love to go that build but all my pergutus staffs roll like crap

also thx for the response I forgot warp expenditure is really bad in comparison to quietude

[haughty star]

I try saying this but Noone listens

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-the-unicorn-shun-the-non-believer-gif-3479764

[upper sun]

zero stacks give you 5 attacks

with flurry it gives 9

if you're used to not checking peril and doing it by feel you're more likely to blow up

[ornate abyss]

Is this a good weapon for psyker? I want to use axes more. Can it be made to be usable?

[potent echo]

all or nothing mainly works while hording, but not when fighting elites/bosses

[latent mauve]

It’s the worst caxe

[potent echo]

which makes it value questionable

[latent mauve]

And it’s a 1/4

[potent echo]

so change that blessing to brumo and maybe 1 perk

or save it for update 🤷‍♂️

[upper sun]

id take headtaker if you ever want to use axes

its not

It's right here @hollow current

[latent mauve]

No

I have had it independently verified to be false by 5 people, two devs and myself

[potent echo]

understandable

[upper sun]

I have zero evidence to support this but i feel like the game on damnation spawns more of the specialist you struggle with most

like if you take too long to kill sniper the game will spawn more

[latent mauve]

Bad roll of the dice

im too schizo to accept that

silo cluster nurgle blessing is one of the harder maelstroms if u ask me

[mossy oyster]

it can get a lil crazy

but thats just byproduct of burgle blessing ignoring every rule of melee combat/mechanic

not to mention if its on a disabler/mauler/crusher

[upper galleon]

Silo cluster (and torrent in general) is hard asf map when cranked up

[mossy oyster]

silo cluster in the early HISTG days

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-stare-stare-glare-blank-stare-war-stare-gif-10889485133230524075

[late yew]

Were there any major rebalances?

[upper galleon]

Zealot fotf doesn’t give ranged armor penetration anymore. Survivalist has a short internal cooldown

Disrupt destiny isn’t shit it just has visual bugs but works completely fine

[late yew]

oh shit, that' s huge

[upper galleon]

Crushers/ogryn enemies are immune to brutal momentum (this only affects folding shovels on ogryn)

[late yew]

What about psykers

[halcyon gust]

DD is a bit better outside of the visual bug, Gunker is still meh, Assail is a bit more focus on the Secondary fire than primary fire

[late yew]

also what changed about DD?

I actually did use it somewhat

[jovial juniper]

EP smite good

[halcyon gust]

No longer lose all your stacks if your marked target is no longer hiding behind over 30 meters away

[late yew]

so could actually run perfectionism now?

[halcyon gust]

If you like. Hope the marks play nice with you

[late yew]

Smite left click still useless?

[latent mauve]

Silo cluster is just shit if your team doesn’t focus

[patent wing]

you have a team?

[jovial juniper]

Only on high intensity, with lots of soulblaze and cleave

Extra points if there's someone running purgatus

Leech from them

maybe i can actually get a decent pergatus next month with the new update

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/announcing-unlocked-and-loaded-update-september-26-2024/98187

[maiden bronze]

so we have to regrind our weapons again?

[late yew]

damn, surge now reliably stuns mutants?

Also smite now kills explkoders

[potent echo]

old weapons stay

they just change the grind a little

[maiden bronze]

yea but can we mod them?

[potent echo]

no more locks yea

so better roll your 380s

or keep them rather

[upper sun]

nah

[maiden bronze]

ok thanks for clarification

[upper sun]

you keep the weapons as is but the blessings change into xp which you can use to unlock blessings

so if you have semi bricks now change the blessings

[maiden bronze]

nice nice

I do be having some bricks

[upper sun]

ye i have a bunch of stuff i reblessed

is there any other reliable way to get cliffhanger than that cheese video on chasm station? I've run chasm station probably 8 times in a row there and a horde is just not spawning in that spot

at the end of the tree mission where you have the long ramp a shitload of duders will spawn ready to get yeeted off the side

i got it by accident there during beta

you mean during the scape sequence?

[maiden bronze]

nice knife

[fresh reef]

[maiden bronze]

paid cosmetic?

[north hatch]

Mod I think

Wait ok so reading the anatheum

[jovial juniper]

When you run out of ammo

[north hatch]

https://i.imgur.com/G2lxXCe.png Is this innacurate?

Cause everyone told me toughness regen speed sucks

And I get that it only works in coherency but I feel like I have way more survivability with it than with combat ability regen

[weary crane]

Lmao

Who made that list

Corruption garbage?

Troll

[digital narwhal]

It is garbage

[digital narwhal]

Those people are lying

[digital narwhal]

Accurate

[stark crown]

Stam regen as bad as well is it bit biased seeing there’s value off it if you actually push or block attacks frequently

It’s not a must take but a nice bonus

[north hatch]

It's in the anatheum

[upper galleon]

It is imo it is biased

[north hatch]

The big psyker guide that's pinned so I'm just kinda confused

[upper galleon]

Then you need to focus on using your regen talents cause psyker regens a ton

And coherency regen doesnt work if you are engaged in melee

[weary crane]

"Generated by things you need to avoid anyway"

LIKE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO AVOID SNIPER SHOTS?

[stark crown]

Toughness regen on Crit for Psyker is pretty fucking wild I will say that

[upper galleon]

Yea lol corruption resistance is the best of the bad resistances

[weary crane]

Corruption res is the best perk

[upper galleon]

And having it garbage with grim resistance in a tier is a joke

[north hatch]

So is the guide just bad?

[upper galleon]

Since generalized corruption resistance works on all sources

[stark crown]

It’s dated/mediocre

[weary crane]

Yes and there are so many times corruption is unavoidable

[jovial juniper]

The guide? No

[stark crown]

I guarantee the Psykers in here can give you a better run down then I can, cause I play Veteran way more

[upper galleon]

Nah the author is just biased on curios

[digital narwhal]

It is not

[potent echo]

different playstyle from the guide creator

i disagree too

[upper galleon]

It’s not the best but it is easily C+ tier above every other curio that affects corruption

[weary crane]

45% corruption resistance makes a huge difference

[potent echo]

everything else not based on opinion is really good though

[latent mauve]

on ogryn perhaps

[upper galleon]

Hound, tox flamer and grims are just easily worse than corruption resistance becuase corruption resist governs them all

[digital narwhal]

If you're being corrupted by anything except Grims, then you're doing something wrong.

[weary crane]

...

If you die

You're doing something wrong

[digital narwhal]

Yes

[upper galleon]

Chip is unavoidable even purple chip

[weary crane]

Play an auric malestrom game without taking corruption and I'll believe you

[upper galleon]

I dont agree boltgun hater that it’s the best

[digital narwhal]

It's not so much of a problem as to warrant Corruption Res though

[stark crown]

Honestly if you die at all you’re bad

I hate to say it

[digital narwhal]

Homie thinks taking 17 Corruption Damage warrants needing 45% resistance to it.

[north hatch]

Also I get why +health curios are good on zealot cause they have abilities that reduce health damage but why does vey have anything that benefits from help?

[latent mauve]

Simple

[upper galleon]

But it shouldn’t be garbage tier with grim in a tier

[digital narwhal]

That I agree with

Grim should also be in Garbage tier

[upper galleon]

Usually toughness is best on zealot

[latent mauve]

Isn’t that Kuli’s guide

[upper galleon]

Then corruption res should be c or d

[latent mauve]

Or is it the Psyker guide by Py

[upper galleon]

There is like one hyperniche hp stacking zealot build but it’s def niche

[digital narwhal]

Pygex's

[north hatch]

Ok so + hp in general isn't that worth?

[upper galleon]

On vet and psyker i take one hp

[digital narwhal]

Not unless you're girthmaxing on Ogryn, and even then DR Perks are just better

[latent mauve]

2 tough 1 hp

So very girthy

[upper galleon]

On zealot i take 3x toughness, or 3x wounds on marty

[digital narwhal]

Oh wait you guys mean the actual Curio Blessings?

Yeah Toughness usually better.

[north hatch]

Why take it on psyker if psyker is squishy already

Does the HP make that much of a difference for survivability

[digital narwhal]

Psyker's Toughness economy is bonkers

You just get Toughness for existing

[north hatch]

No I meant the +hp

[latent mauve]

42% toughness 26% health for zealot

[upper galleon]

One hp gives you a ton of breakpoints to not get oneshot at half hp / be corrupted to half hp

[digital narwhal]

Ah

[stark crown]

Get toughness from literally crits which psyker just naturally manifests crits

It’s stupid

[upper galleon]

I take 1 hp, 1 toughness, 1 3stam on psyker

[digital narwhal]

I mean, it is helpful since HP does gate when you go down, but 3x HP Curios probably ain't the play

I'd take 1x or 2x HP Curio on Psyker

but never 3x

[north hatch]

Rn I'm using 3x toughness

[digital narwhal]

Good shit

[upper galleon]

There is a 3x hp zealot build. Restoring faith, good balance and shield of contempt are generalized DR and not toughness DR

Lets you basically be as hearty as an ogryn

[arctic shard]

my psyker is already ready for the new mission

[north hatch]

Not 3x toughness mb I forgot I swapped to 2x toughness +3 stam

Would doing 1 tough 1 hp +3 stam increase my survivability by a lot?

[latent mauve]

Not particularly

[upper galleon]

Curios are also preference driven

[north hatch]

That's fair, I'm just trying my best to have a good comprehension of mechanics

I didn't even realize coherency didn't work in melee until yesterday

Idk if that's said anywhere in game or if I'm just blind

[latent mauve]

Coherency is aids

[upper galleon]

Unless you are a glugger ogryn there just isn’t a need for coherency regen boosts cause you get more back by just killing

[north hatch]

Idk though cause I've had like generic fodder enemies break through behind me without the toughness Regen and they just one shot me cause I'm not paying attention and I have music blasting through my ears

[upper galleon]

Vet, slow base coherency regen and gets more back from talents and abilities

[north hatch]

Prob just a skill issue

[upper galleon]

Zealot has a ton of toughness regen

[upper galleon]

Def gonna be a problem when this game is full of sound ques

[vocal socket]

yeah high level playing is basically incompatible with music lol

[split lance]

I blame you.

[north hatch]

Yeah but I might stick with toughness Regen then cause I survive way more with it than combat ability Regen I guess

[fresh reef]

anything to change here whenever the locks get broken?

[north hatch]

High level being auric maelstrom only?

Cause auric damnation for me is fine

And that's what I do 99% of the time

[vocal socket]

ehhh, maybe. HISTG and maelstorm

[north hatch]

What's HISTG

[steep estuary]

I need to get back into Auric

[restive ice]

high intensity shock troop gauntlet modifier
so most auric

[steep estuary]

Any fun new builds for those top tier missions?

[north hatch]

I just run gun psyker

[steep estuary]

I still haven't tried gun psyker

[north hatch]

Idk maybe I'm crazy but despite how bad coherency is I feel like I really need toughness Regen on my curio to avoid being one shot by stupid shit

Skill issue I guess

If someone finds a better combo lmk cause idk I'm just confused why it's working for me if it's worse than other stuff

Maybe I should try it in maelstrom and it'll be bad there

[strong gulch]

For HP, the general rec is to aim for 200 HP and 1 sniper resist. This lets you tank a sniper and burster without dropping.

The Atheneum assumes an "efficient" play style. So not all recommendations will fit all players.

[north hatch]

I wish this game made stat gathering easy

[strong gulch]

If you like toughness regen then keep it.

[north hatch]

Wym by efficient

[vocal socket]

I run toughness regen on every curio of every class

[lilac sigil]

Same. Though I do think I could get away with less on the Ogryn. Psyker's a candidate too. (ie classes with better than average toughness regen)

[north hatch]

Maybe I should try solo mod to see how the builds work

With only bots and nothing else

Cause the other classes also probably do interfere with how my build feels at a given moment

[north hatch]

Dropping a wound or dying?

Also

[strong gulch]

Things like being in coherency, good positioning, not standing in gas or gunfire, good target priority, etc.

[restive ice]

prevents you from straight up dying when you’re at 1 wound

[north hatch]

That makes sense that's what I was doing when I had combat ability Regen instead

So maybe if I take all combat Regen and 1 HP 1 toughness 3 stam

I'll get better results

[north hatch]

Tbh I get why coherency is bad cause it's not active when you're alone or in melee but also it's not hard to just walk to your teammates location for a bit and 8 meters is not that bad of a distance right?

[near wyvern]

Puppet master is too good to pass by change my mind

[upper sun]

my team is dead

[north hatch]

Oh hey it's the guy that made the guide

Hi

[near wyvern]

[split lance]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-bear-gif-13207424737824225380

[spring valve]

you want to play few game ?

[strong gulch]

Pretty much. Like Pygex just mentioned, Puppet master helps with that.

There are toughness talent nodes, toughness curios, toughness regen speed, and puppet master that all work together.

BUT if you like something in particular, then go for that.

[north hatch]

Makes sense also why do people like combat ability Regen so much it feels like -12% is so little and psyker already has a ton of ability decrease mods that are significant enough

[strong gulch]

Curio set up is more personal than weapons. They support your current playstyle and preferences that may change over time as you taste and skill changes.

[north hatch]

The -2/-3 seconds from 3 combat ability Regen doesn't seem

Like a lot

[strong gulch]

Many prefer something that is always active vs something conditional.

[north hatch]

That's fair Im not the biggest fan of battle meditation or purloin providence

But idk with toughness Regen at least it's not so reliant on rng

[split lance]

in a game rn but after im down

[strong gulch]

But, you also have to consider WHEN you need something. Someone with good gunner management, able to get out of gun fire, or otherwise not get caught my gunfire won't care about gunner resistance. On the other hand, someone is isn't quite as good at gunner fighting, aware, or quick to react may very much benefit from gunner resist.

[strong gulch]

Purloin is dookie and BM has specific uses but is generally a skip.

[north hatch]

I've so far been running BM with empowered psionice smite and imo that's the only real justification I can see for it just because of the sheer volume of mobbing it does

[strong gulch]

There's also sciers void strike.

[restive ice]

leave me and my transfer + surge void alone

[north hatch]

Tbh I don't like it with scriers

[restive ice]

i definitely didnt blow myself up twice last night

[mossy oyster]

put transfer peril on rashad and ds4

[north hatch]

It's fine with columnus and recon las but I've been using the las pistol for the majority of my gun psyker time so I don't get as much value

[strong gulch]

I don't like void strike. It's me. I'm the problem.

[mossy oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-oppenheimer-movie-walk-walking-gif-3311223081607307352

[restive ice]

now i need to do blazing spirit + exorcist ilisi gaze

[mossy oyster]

warp resistance is the dump stat

[north hatch]

Which staff is void strike

Big ground circle staff?

[mossy oyster]

grenade launcher

[restive ice]

the bowling ball shooter

[mossy oyster]

nah thats trauma

[strong gulch]

Yes! I want it to be good SO badly.

[north hatch]

I always thought the ball shooter was the worst of the 4 ngl

[mossy oyster]

trauma = ground BOOM , surge = palpatine , purg = fire hands, void = grenade launcher bowling ball

[north hatch]

But idk anything about staffs

[mossy oyster]

columnus = best staff

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[north hatch]

Why shoot magic when you can shoot bullet laced in magic

Exactly

[strong gulch]

I dislike the columnus. It rattles and is so noisy. 😵‍💫

[mossy oyster]

i like it cause I get to hear Seer gun voicelines

"ah how do you reload"

xd

also I love Seer scrier voice lines

IM SUDDENLY FEELING VERY POWERFUL

mine just yells "kill kill kill kill"
