The crusher blessing change is the tell that they have no idea what they are doing
this would be cool but slaughterer/any other free power blessings ontop of uncanny is too good
who cares about good lmao
(total damage, though worth mentioning it was a 40m:23s game) (maelstrom mission I-III-VII-F, Encalvum Baross, Damnation)
i wanna mememaxx
If only there were enemy types with more hp that weren't unyielding
need a regular scab shooter with monstrosity hp
yeah
By the way, what do you guys think of SM2?
needs more ogryn
Im really surprised they didnt
at least its FUN and changes gameplay esp on those weapons
Honestly i would have killed for run n gun on BAGs
waiting for real release, not spending extra on a 4 day window, I already regret spending the normal price a month early for this game
otherwise looks good if there aren't any real issues with the epic games stuff
Honestly from everything i've seen, it looks kinda mid.
Story is all out on yt already and i shit you not they just copied the script from the first game but swapped the words ||inquisitor|| and ork for ||astropath|| and tyranid
I mean yeah story is kinda meh in the first game too. but you are big armor space guy fighting bugs
that's literally the name of the game
Fair
But it's still really annoying that not only do they drop that one of the primaris squad mates were on calth during the word bearer attack, they don't answer anything about Titus just having "fuck you warp" affinity either.
And the ending feels either really sequel-baity or "hey hey hey wait for our drop of the Lt. Titus mini for the tabletop"
that kinda sucks if it doesn't even play into titus' warp affinity
huge missed opportunity
Brother i shit you not they beat him by flipping some weird stones.
That may or may not have anything to do with ||necrons||
But they're never brought up before the ending sequence.
I'm still real curious about the coop though, how well difficulty can scale and if it's replayable with the different classes and their upgrades or if it's just going to be 1 time playthrough kinda game and then boring after that.
Plus at some point a marine dies because a piece of rebar penned his visor.
Honestly, from the previews i saw at least 2 of the missions follow the same beats (Go here, get this, hold out here and blow up tyranids) except on different planets and one has a "shoot it until it dies" type boss at the end.
So, co-op also looks very repetitive.
Darktide is also similar in that regard but at least we have different objective types rather than "oh yeah just check these dead guardsmen"
the builds here and the amount shit the director throws at you really help this game
Plus for some goddamn reason the heavy bolter works like a minigun, ala shoot faster the longer you hold the trigger down, and does not have the overwhelming firepower feel a bolter should have (sound design wise)
especially with 3+ wound curios
I like to run at least 1 wound curio just to make sure i don't get fucked over by overperiling because of lag.
illisi and assail can definitely get fucky if you try and edge, but after a game or 2 im used to it even when i have to play on a vpn to get around the connection errors
The problem is i get ping spikes so if it happens at a bad time i can explode because instead of swinging my shockmaul, my dumbass psyker decided to throw out more assails or m1 with the staff instead.
🤔
oh yeah that shit sucks
assail has a weird input buffer, i explode with it a lot too
Switching weapons on high lag is the worst.
relatively a lot*
Not bad.
what was the build? void assail?
On what i was saying previously, SM2 looks way too underwhelming for all the hype it had going for it.
It's like the MW remaster of SM1
There's the guarantee weapon swap mod that might help, at least forces the switch instead of switching back and throwing out a dart that kills you
agreed
sm2 was not what i had hoped for
Too high warpfire damage. I want to guess it's surge creeping flames spam or maybe blaze trauma.
I know i'm spoiled by Astartes, but a sprinting primaris should definitely move faster than that.
i genuinely believe darktide to be a better game in all ways except story compared to space marine 2
Annihilate dogs
hordes aren’t big enough, guns are super weak,
It feels like they standardized shit way too much for casual shooter gamers to the point you might as well just play GoW at this point
yeah
Astartes was so good
Honestly even the story is worse
At least Darktide has some solid background story going on
tbh i’ve barely paid attention to the story so
SM2 is just a nothing burger
idek lmfao
just wait until librarian update dlc
all i know is there is a macguffin
think psyker in the update but worse
Plus
It's highly baffling that they made such gorgeous chaplain armor for the story, but you don't have it in multiplayer.
Also no beak helmet for malum caedo cosplay, you just get Mark X Tacticus but with a skull or Mark X Tacticus with plume and faceshield.
biggest complaint with sm2 is that mechanicist mfs using push brooms instead of having a servitor clean the floors
Also, even worse, in the fucking opening, a space wolf death watch marine gets taken out by a relatively low tier Tyranid in melee.
SM2 did marines dirty in general but holy fuck they did the death watch so dirty.
i love it
it’s such stupid grim dark
Best part of SM2 was in the intro where Titus proved that ultramarines are greek by shoving an entire virus bomb up his ass.
'The push broom. Invention from the dark ages of humanity. The original stc for them has been lost for several millennia. Only a few remain as priceless artifacts.'
LMFAO
I WAS LAYGHING SO HARD AR THAT SCENE
LIKE BRO
YOU HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO JUST MODEL IT ATTACHED BENEATH HIS BACKPACK
OR JUST HAVE HIM HOLD IT AND RESTRICT THE PLAYER TO ONE HANDED
@lofty escarp @worn heron
BUT NO, VIRUS BOMB UP THE ASS IT IS, THE CODEX ASTARTES SUPPORTS THAT ACTION
The whole banner scene was also just eeeh
Oh that's right
The virus bomb goes into the ass hole
Like they had such a blank check to have a climactic scene where routed ultramarines rally around Titus until he has a whole squad around him, but no, Titus used his daemonic mattward powers to fade-to-black the screen and spawn ultramarines out of nothing but air
Yall already talk about the patch notes?
Yeah
What's the concensus? I'm excited
Looks pretty great
Psykers are going to throw hands up close and personal
Dueling Sword on zealot is going to be a bit funky but we'll see how that pans out
Vets are going to break the game
Oh yeah
Again
I've already been throwing hands since day 1. THE VIOLENCE HAS MERELY ESCALATED.
Also, ngl now i kinda want to see a space marine in Darktide, at least as a sort of NPC in the Mourningstar
I just wanna see how Fatshark does the marines.
siblings i found a scrier's setup i actually really like
illisi + laspistol
thoughts? (other than malefic momentum)
id change toughness during gaze for toughness for peril gen
since gaze gives you peril and you can have toughness regen with ulting
potentially..
I did nearly same amount of warp fire with surge staff in 34 mins. 
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1275918188265214063/image.png?ex=66dcbae9&is=66db6969&hm=9aae203a6526d348fdc1b70aa6e260388a724e9dd19faed8aa011e2b65c0d348&
Surge is clear from blaze trauma.
wish the game had an official way of tracking damage, different mods, and even different people in the same game with the same mod, see different damage numbers i believe
No, scoreboard is consistent in the same game
I've compared multiple times
But yeah the whole no scoreboard = less toxicity just isnt true.
All it does is let bad players have the confidence to be toxic. Literally anytime someone backseats or yells into the mic that "you all suck" in any of my games, they are in 4th place lmao.
Scoreboard really shows how bad blaze trauma is. 
Pls buff.
Blazing spirits t4. More radius. Faster charge.

Showstopper Blaze Trauma 🙏
blaze away 4 being a thing would be so nice though
but they only mentioned like tier 1s and 2s getting higher tiers
Wait what?
Too bad it doesn't give wounds and make the blast bigger, would of been funny to run what is essentially a poxburster build.
I'm rioting if they don't give blazing spirits t4.
4 stacks per crit 8 stacks cap.
I have seen it in my dream.
yeah something extra would make this from bad to good. I'd really like it to regen health as if you got downed and revived instantly
Surge on surge (if secondary works for it? Replacing… warp flurry? Also, my boy trauma build seems to be intact and ?buffed with stagger wtf??
Warp flurry is so good for surge. It doesn't charge that fast and I can tell a difference with flurry stacks going rather easily.
PURGE GOT RENDING 
However, if surge works for right click I can see not using flurry and abuse blitz cancel swap.
Then RIP fingers playing surge.

If surge gave +5 crit on surge then maybe you can replace nexus with it
yo dawg, I heard you like stagger so-
True but upward to 20% crit chance is still huge for a crit dependant weapon.
You really want the crit with surge.
3 blessings pls??????
Surge blessing would only help against mostly ogryns and monsters.
surge vs flurry will be a tough choice if it actually works
Most elites and specials die really fast already to full charge.
3 blessings with rending purgatus 
If surge doesn't fork to additional target, then the surge proc is wasted on weaker enemies.
If it even works on right click at all.
(Which I doubt since it doesn't for trauma)
do they all die in a single crit tho?
I kinda wish Psykers extra 3rd talent went to the charged spell of smite instead of it being a melee talent
let the left click stay as is without the stun being over the top
Maulers won't die. Ragers I think have about 10% left.
Shotgunners will die to 1 crit.
surge surge would help for ragers, maulers, all the ogryns
Also insta stun on Muties
What staff you play?
surge surge 
Im really curious to what surge on surge staff will do
zap to the extreme?
double damage?
it probably just wont work
probably lmb only 
left click surge rise up
I would actually prefer if they make it so it always target 2 different enemies, prioritising elites/specials unless there's only 1 enemy in range then both attacks proc on the same guy.
left click balls get down and stay down
More spread damage. But against monster it can do extra damage.
Whatever they decide to do I would of course try surge surge if even for the meme.
Yeah, I value crit on surge (chance to one shot more enemies) over spam hitting. Time will tell. Blitz canceling already makes surge powerful af
My favourite staff. 
forked lightning when permissible sounds cool
agreed!
oh okay, maybe i misremembered or something
no, its not, btw. If anybody leaves or joins during the mission the scorebvoard cant track correctly
I still like trauma as my comfort brain off staff. I’m just not as talented as being selfish on surge 
well yeah that is true, if people leave they get zero'd out
Blaze trauma is my 2nd favourite but it needs too big brains to play.
if you join partway through its also not accurate
I dunno how you think it's 'comfort' D:
Surge is my less brain needed staff.
yeah i just can never make it work
You don't even have to aim!
it just tickles things
WC fire trauma is sweaty for me. Assail + fire trauma is more of a comfort pick for me.
Cause I don’t get hit. Ever. And Quell canceling is second nature. It is an easy clutch staff for me
me with assail
i expect them to die, they dont, i explode myself
Make sure you do full charge.
i tried to enjoy it so many times
"know what? just fuck things up in this general direction"
If surge right click is not at full charge it does quite a bit less damage.
i even watched one of that "agent chaos" guys vids to learn like 6 months ago....

Obviously when I compare the 1000 hours to trauma and hundreds to surge that had a factor too. I’m just not as good at it
if only this agent chaos guy was here to teach us more
AgentChaos/UnsanctionedPsyker biggest scammer.
valid
I hate him.
such a shame that he isn't in this channel
yeah i mean
Promoting bad staves like blaze trauma and surge smh.
you have tided the dark a lot it seems
blaze trauma is cool
blaze trauma veri bad pls buff
yes...buff....yes........
Heard him talk once, seemed alright to me.
when are we making deflector and blazing spirit baseline for force swords?
Maybe your surge staff is not highly rolled.
they all have blaze in the name
Yeah, I am technically one of the more experienced at blaze trauma. I just don’t do that nerdy
testing other people do
but for real im sure i just dont know wtf im doing because all the other cool psykers seem to enjoy surge but i just cant click with it, and i really want to!
voidstrike is probably the best staff
anyone have the game running rn?
but the trauma force with blazing spirit is really strong
The best build for surge by far is creeping flames spam with warp charges.
oh.....
because fuck this line of heretics in particular
So you can spam soulblaze and spam surge the whole map.
I’m on vacation in Iceland. Living the damp life
so like, when i play surge i should actually just be playing shriek?
SG blaze trauma when?
i want someone to check my tru level
Going in
ill check vox
instead of what, sg? absolutely 100%
but like leaning on it i mean
It is part of the build that makes it so strong imo.
sg surge is like top 10 ways to explode
if it had blazing spirit it'd be kinda crazy
Nevermind
I mean, well all take to things differently.
wanna play?
they work VERY nicely together, since surge generates so much peril
Warp charges to reduce peril generation and more damage and reduce cdr.
you can get your peril up for big shrieks in a matter of seconds
It's also very good (cope)
surge kills single targets very well and then shriek will kill waves
veri efficient
surge kills so slowly i probably wont even get 6 charges up before i want to shriek again
your shriek will do a lot of work by itself
Oh I'm just testing stuff rn, not really hitting the terminal
with in fire reborn
i get that
at that point though
RASHAD
am i really playing surge?
Yes
if im just leaning on shriek to do everything
but shriek is leaning on surge to do things
OK
Yeah you still do more range damage then soulblaze damage.
a GOOD maelstrom is up
hmmm]
LETS GOO 2/5
i will give it a go
show us your stick chaos
lemme see what im aiming for on a surge staff if i throw one together now
tah
As high damage and crit bonus as possible. Then charge rate at 70% ish or higher and as high quell as you can too.
stolen
Maniac let you 2 shots dreg rager and 1 shot trapper without crit.
I'm an unyielding enjoyer on surge.
True play whatever 2nd perk you want. Some people run elites too. But I like maniac for extra specials damage.
weakspot damage surge is bis
Stole it from some unsanctioned guy pls no snitch.
Yeah, second perk on surge is up in the air. It's not that it doesn't matter, but more that they have impact on different enemies.
lol
how is weakspot dmg good on surge? i thought surge couldnt hit weakpsots
always hits torso no?
lmb mains
ah
weakspot trauma
nah tbh flakiak seems the way on it based on what i would use it for
then flurry and nexus makes complete sense
lmb main rise up
The beast helping people do some weird penance i dunno. But surge is like you just run forward spam right click and press f.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05YaffhEJa4
Using my most OP psyker build we got this on the 3rd attempt. Both prior attempts had people going down to trapper then burster near end event.
Patch 1.3.2
Ascension Riser 31 · Raid · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Nurgle-Blessed Hunting Grounds (Cooldowns Reduced)
Loadout: Illisi / Surge / Smite
00:00 Build
01:01 Game Starts
Just found out VS RMB has no/low suppression, it's not so over
You'd kill all the specials and shooters on map making it so safe for team.
Then if shits really hit the fan you have smite still to stun lock.
Flaniac is good. Can't go wrong with that combo most of the time anyways.
It favor unyielding on surge because I keep running into situations where more boss damage is needed or I'm the only one who can deal with the monster.
Nice base 
Ye 
very nice
now get the mod that shows real stats and see that they're actually 79.7% instead of 80%
Death
D:
damn judge dredd himself queued up instead of the leaver
literally trhe same experience i was crying about the other week dude 😄
ive said it before
ill say it again
FUCK nurgles blessing
man i saw terrifying barrage on someone's weapon i knew i hould have dodged
man fuck the dogs esp why is that shit on dogs
im at the point where if its blessing i wont queue the mael
lol
actually
i could taste the panic
what the fuck was that jump
yeah i regreted saving the ogryn
yeah hes green like you said
you bopped him
he jumps you anyway
very cool FS ty
😭
ye
happily stood behind wall stabbing muties
suddenly green one
aaaaaand thats a teamwipe
im still gonna keep trying it in pubs
i dont think it counts if i do it in the discord and one dude solos the maelstrom for everyone
Be the dude soloing the maelstrom for 3 other randos you find in the lobby.
one day
and ALSO, idk, i feel like the director decides that
sometimes its pretty clear the director is like "no actually, and also fuck you back to the lobby"
oh youre last left alive and dealing with a rager patrol and horde?
here, have a silent burster through this door
The director sometimes says, queue again and sends 3 flamers and 2 bombers in a hoard with a back line of shooters
it does seem weird how the director clearly sometimes wants to kill you and other times wants you to make it
ASS is no one have to go down?
nope
Oh just yourself?
gave up on it because i refuse to do it with any class that isnt psyker
and i wont cheese it by leaving
On psyker hrm...
but yes its very ez with vet or zealot
Safest build probably would be assail voidstrike creeping flames.
Since surge generate too much peril you might risk blowing up.
honestly its just nurgles blessing makes me lose
monstrous specialists is the one that always fucks shit up i swear
Realest shit ever
You can wait and find super ez maelstrom like extra dogs.
nurgles blessing can be very mean sometimes

chastise only 
Then stop cry. 
maybe if i get toughness curios ill go blazing piety stealth
we both know you love my tears 😭
No I want you to succeed. 
Yep, that's how I got it.
No games of EP smite shriek either

Definitely none of those.
NGL, letting people quit out for the "best" title is so lame, I refuse to get over this until we get an actual challenging penance.
Respect to anyone who didn't quit out even when the Deamonhost bugged and aggroed you despite someone else waking it up on the 5th mission.

Sometimes I enjoy a good Surge round. Pika Pika mother fucker
what is meta build for auric maelstorm?
there are many.
what sort of thing did you want to play, roughly?
a gun? a staff?
The one that makes you feel the coolest
I mean, in terms of just the best chance to win, voidstrike is generally the pick, no?
Best chance to win is having a good team
You can have the best build in the game
its impossible to lose with trauma if there is no nurgl;es blessing
I don't think that's really true since you can always be shot if you're not good enough at dodging
lol
and sliding
i mean if you are dying to shooters then should you be playing auric mael?
Trauma does stop the funny pox walker from blocking you
Shooters by themselves, no, but you can absolutely get swamped and then shot while distracted. It's the heat of battle that kills, not any individual enemy.
okay my dude 🙂
like i said, trauma is free wins if you arent bad and there is no nurgles blessing
Personally, I think voidstrike is better since it has tons of stagger too, just in a ball you can shoot.
Each of the staffs have their pros and cons
void is fine if you have the space to use it.
i love it, but it is not nearly as safe as trauma
But yes, it's largely personal preference at that point and what other things in your kit you have.
Trauma is basically a "Stay out of personal space" zone, but runs into gripes related to shooter control and stuff outside of Trauma range
truma has LMB with insane supression
and you are a psyker running a staff AKA bubble or vent
literally the only thing that can stop you is enemies that cant be staggered
they're doing it for the m1
but its 100% a meme
get the mod that lets you spam m1s without breaking your finger and go to town

I see Surge on Surge being a M1 buff. Though double lightening would be really funny
awesome staff
and i never use it except from running a staff scriers meme build with my irl friends
I would prefer flak, but brunt and hadron are haters.
truer words never spoken
Play around and see what suits you. I tend to bias Voidstrike since it is a good Jack of all trade staff and lets me adapt to what's going on in the current game state
Just wait 20 days
*All staff
the thing with void is
Purgatus: exists
the sound of headshottiung 20 pox at once makes me want to play it
Even Purg, but the range is bleh
but then youre doing dreyko final section
Bro, the sound of a surge void down a hallway of maniacs

In fact you have more suppression on the charged attack
and it makes me so annoyed
With the purg that is
like, i just want to throw bowling balls anmd get a strike
not kill each enemy one at a time
Consider the following
I'm so ready for the purgatus meta
:(
So what's the new staff caste system looking like?
Purge will probably be a lot better. Other than that... eh. Surge surge if it works on the m2 would be cool.
your results may vary
It definitely will not work on the m2
We are going vent purge with this one
That would be too cool
Laspistol at the top
no never

the one thing psyker does not care about AT ALL
purge always weak
is trash mobs
Fatshark plz more buffs
asnd purg is only actually "good" vs trash
purg only good for trash
I am going to fucking explode you
thats my take
The thing about purge is it can eat any amount of enemies in front of you in the same amount of time
like, what is purgatus good for other than trash
Literally 12 billion ragers? Still dead
Everything that isn't Carapace
i think you can probably just lmb spam your way through the whole mission though with rend now tho? the skill floor for purgatus will be in the basement
right but i can say the same for trauma
and isn't 18m away from you
except i actually have range on trauma
if purgatus had a normal LMB i would use it. probably a lot.
I mean purge isn't trauma, sure, but we're talking about it being good, not it being the best
but right now its on the same tier as surge for me it sucks, i suck with it, and i hate it.
ohh look i can light up the darkness in front of mer
blind my teammates
and take 4.5 seconds to kill a poxwalker
very cool FS ty
I mean, I think current purge is... not fantastic like voidstrike or trauma, but that's a very tough comparison and maybe not healthy for the game.
i think if youre running BB and a decent anti elite melee purge is fine
It fucks everything up dude
but otherwise, just why]
ah yes, tanner
im totally going to spend my tiume watching one of his videos
I would take assail if I could still have Wildfire
I couldn't find the actual recording
If you think 3k per tick is bad dps then idk what to tell you
I mean, the damage numbers look great but the issue with purge is ttk and that damage is spread out amongst a plethora of enemies. If you want the elites dead now it's not going to work for you. You have to be very good at managing your space and DoTing enemies to death.
This
There are strengths other than raw burst damage
The other issue is venting shriek exists and can largely just replace purge
True, since surge does decent damage while mobile, and Shriek can cover hordes and such easily
Purg is slightly better with Maulers
I was featured in Tanner's vid once. 
Anything that isn't carapace really
It's not gonna immediately melt flak/maniacs but once one of them dies so does everything near them
Wildfire helps a tiny bit in those situations
Crit chance is obviously a massive boost
Scriers gaze is already good with purge, probably gonna be insane when the update drops
every other staff performs better, and doesnt blind yourself and tewammates, and has the option to engage at longer ranges
idk
Fun fact, you'll get terrifying barrage on it
I always hit those with my sword
and the ones I can't hit with my sword
I stare at longingly from a distance
Still think the weakest is surge
Isnt wildfire worthless
Not sure why they haven't nerfed purge vfx yet. Or at least added it as an option
It's worthless without purge
Cuz it spreads its four stacks out
It's mid with purge
Unironically true
I'm a plasteel fiend and the idols in Throneside genuinely pained me
Like it spreads one stack to four enemies
It helps a tiny tiny bit
Worse than that it won't add an extra stack if the enemy already has 4
So maybe it'll be good if fatshark ever fixes hordes rarely spawning
The one where you vent ur peril and it lights shit on fire is the one you want w purg
That one lets you go well and passed the purg's soulblaze cap
Eh, both nodes are leading the same place
From 15/16 w crit to 21
I am aware, they're not mutually exclusive
If ur max ur peril and already have them ablaze
It wipes the floor with anything not carapace
Only valid complaint about purge performance
Cause you know damn well pubbies aren't even gonna look at idols if you ping em
Even carapace gets shredded if you have a source of Rending
You mean brittleness? Rending is applied to the currently equipped weapon and I can't think of anything psyker has that gives rending
Not sure which weapon applies brittleness either but sounds more plausible
Isn't Uncanny rending?
Surge is strongest for me. 😮
iirc Rending works globally for all stacks. Brittle needs to be stacked up on every enemy individually for the bonus damage
Ya surge isn't bad, it's just the hardest to use effectively
Right click and spam f. 
It's more button presses than just right click lol
I mean tbf, you only really need to aim a little bit with Void
Most things are standing still or running at you in straight lines
Void in my hand is very slow at dealing with shooters.
So I have to use assail to supplement it.
it is
too many buttons
Surge I just spam right click at shooters and kill them all.
i'm 90% sure it only applies to the weapon that activated the blessing though
could be wrong but i've never heard of it being a global buff
It's a buff to any damage you can inflict without a weapon change
jfc fatshark
Man what did you expect
thats... not how it works
uncanny works on soulblaze because its a DoT
it used to be that whatever weapon you had equipped at the time would proc that weapons blessings on an instance of damage, so for example, assail could work with uncanny
but now it doesnt work like that
the only thing that still works is zealot throwing knives because they dont equip a different weapon, unlike psyker blitzes
lol
just being pedantic, but they are not the same. You can switch weapons all you like. If i throw an assail then swap to a weapon with uncanny before the assail hits an enemy, i can still never proc the uncanny with the assail. But if i stack soulblaze onto a boss, then swap on/off my melee with uncanny, i can proc uncanny on ticks of the soulblaze when they tick when i have the sword equipped, regardless of if i swapped or not
Pretty sure you stack uncanny on melee, then throw the assail out, then swap back to maintain the uncanny stacks
god damn Space Marine 2 is so good
Other classes getting their grubby mitts on our dueling swords...
I don't like it.

Law of equivalent exchange, we get the +10% melee speed, they get the sword. Them's the rules.
My beloved says that we should share our toys
Unbalanced
Ds4 was somewhat balanced being psyker only
^
When melk has a decent roll, it feels like all of my luck gets used up for awhile.
Vet and zealot hit the one shot breakpoint with less effort
do you guys ever think about how other people hate playing with psykers and think "man what did I do"
like wtf is telopots' deal
And with no rng
Stralth Zealot w/ dueling sword 🤢🤢🤢
I hate playing with other psykers so I get it, especially assail soykers.
Yeah but PC is a thing
Poke poke poke poke all deadge
It's still going to go so hard on zealot and vet though
I'm feeling stingy.
I don't wanna share.
Extremely unbalanced class
I might play me zealot now.
every class is unbalanced in one way or another
Smite turns the game into sedition
we need nerfs tbh
The only person at FatShark who even was capable of vision and balance left before p13
increase smite peril gain by 1000% 👍
I mean, idk, I think balance is mostly fine tbh. Most things people complain about seem to be just more relaxed ways to play, but not necessarily better
Telo isn’t just hostile to staff psykers, it’s anything that essentially removes a mechanic
Thrust ds4 flamer zealot is four times as strong as knife zealot
bro is going to despise agile users
Four times
where is telopots voicing his concerns
I don't think knife zealot is all that strong. You have to be locked in the entire time, and you don't even do that much damage. It's purely clutch potential.
ds4 will probably be crazy tho, yeh
The knife is what, 5k dps
you can easily 2-3 shot crushers, the only thing that’s relatively weaker is horde clear
other than that the knife is absurdly strong
I mean, with doublestabs you can do like what, 60k burst or something?
Yeah
Sure, but you can do that with a lot of weapons, and knife never has the output necessary to really turn the tide. At best, you get up your buddies who do that for you, or you literally dodge enemies the whole mission.
ok for context everyone deadvoid is the person saying rashad isn’t OP
so
that’s a point of relevance here
do you think that any weapon is overpowered?
I have genuinely never touched axes so I can't comment
Power sword is one. I mean, I think the issue with balance is more talents than weapons right now, if I had to say there's an issue.
Kills four enemies per light
powersword is bad, but powersword is not as bad as rashad and knife
I really don't agree
You haven’t got a correctly built one do you
The Rashad can't cleave a dozen crushers
Doesn’t need to
Rashad also whay
Anyway
2 shots them
sigh do I really have to open up Darktide just to take a pic of my Rashad
With better attack speed and doesnt need to activate
If you don’t think it’s op, I think there’s something wrong with it or you
I think its semi close but rashad is like top 1
The Rashad is easy to use, sure.
Knife also very op
power sword post nerf is absolutely not OP
“this weapon cannot do something no other weapon can do so it is bad”
Psword post nerf is still very much OP
Power sword removes pressure the second you equip it
doesn't psword 2 shot crushers with zero talents?
The Rashad is the second strongest horde clear weapon in the game
Basically requires power cycler to be relevant
w/ p cycler it's pretty bad, but it has basically exactly one way to build it or other options are way better
This doesnt make it bad though
There's my Rashad
Badly designed
That’s a bad roll
How so?
finesse dump
roll doesn't even matter I carried auric storms with a 1% damage roll rashad is just insane like that
im out here worrying about third target with my limbsplitter thunderous axe
Be gone leaker
I indeed would love a mobility dump Rashad, but you have to understand that the reality is 20% of finesse and first target really don't matter that much in the grand scheme of things
I mean "bad" as is a bit over-tuned. Without power cycler, it's basically a worse Illisi.
cry about it gatekeeper
3rd best
Having used both, w/ out cycler it's a bit garbo.
wtf is a leaker lol
Its bad without cycler ye the weapon needs a rework
from the butt?
that's what I'm thinking

Data mined and then released id assume
wet fart or dataminer, call it
schizophrenia or data miner, call it
Ah
schizophrenia
so from the butt, got it
the answer is always schizophrenia


💀

Did I do an oopsie?
🪦
You are a strange bunch.
rejects for a reason
I came to psyker chat for one reason and one reason only
i don’t understand the elitism with it
The game ban is permanent for spreading it
Oh
to chew bubble gum?
I didn't know that
Purge staff is going to get a rending blessing
Yeah its dumb

Literally I just blow hot air in a general direction and everything dies
They may remove that
Crushers?
They making psyker even easier I see 😎
i wonder if the rending will apply to the staff bash
Im not sure why they would give infinite cleave weapons that kill everything but crushers rending
But you know
It still clips 
It is what it is
Trauma:
make the staff bash kill everything
They moving towards plasma as the main balance of the game 
Id assume nerfs will come down the line cause player power was already through the roof
Real
But we will see
Excellent. No nerf, only buff. Buff weapons. Buff enemies. Buff lag. 
I highly doubt it
Psyker was always an easy class, might as well make it easier 😏
Don't the devs also not play auric damns
Psyker agrip burst auto
Well the playtesters get input too
And they do
Tell me which class is hard 
Minimal I guess
No way pots would sign off of anything lol
Ogryn 
They probably do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. Most players play heresy.
Not just telo…
The 'only-heavy melee needed' class? lmao
Yes
He's the most public one 🤷♂️
They do, but its up to FS whether it goes through or how fast
I'm not an insider
or alternatively the 'all the bullets in that direction' class
I think most of the player base is in malice/heresy/damn
Yes 
Most of the auric playerbase should be in malice/heresy
Tru, but they should be in recruit 😔
Last i knew most people play malice
Rending applied to dot
I'm going to address the elephant in the room
Nobody who play tests asked for that
People who go on higher difficulties to get carried are parasites
There I said it 😏
On an infinite cleave weapon
They also make the game more fun for me soo 
They don’t care, the director of combat design left with patch 13
You mean Magnusson or
Well if FS says it goes itll go
likely
Hey, I get to hyper farm mats I'll take it 🤷🏻
I recommend Fatshark to add ranked Matchmaking, change my mind 🧍🏻
Auric QP is the power fantasy 
If I'm running for map achievements and such I play Auric Damnation, if I'm just having a relaxed time I play Heresy 
Yes this, but instead I want them to add all the shitters to me team 
Ngl, malice is a crap power fantasy. Not enough enemies.
best way to get your downed penances
Some people just purely want to steamroll and auto win
God mod essentially
I don't want to see another peeplasma vet no nuh
That’s why everything is getting plasma tier
I tried to get it on damnation but amazingly, my teammate quality went down.
Not sure how it's possible
I get that, but my point is that it's not really exciting. Even if you want to chew your way through a horde like a hot knife through butter, Malice doesn't spawn a horde like Auric/Dam or even Heresy. It's kind of pitiful, really.
I try auric dam, shitters, normal dam, shitters
So I have to go to malic to find the good players? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
Yeah i dont get it
Malice players belong in malice
Pressing F on 200 or more enemies and seeing the pretty colors 
0
Like, I think it'd be helpful to have difficulty change enemy numbers less so those who want the power fantasy can at least... have the power fantasy when they play sedition, lol. Maybe drop the disabler numbers (or potentially all elites/specialists), but other than that I think the numbers should stay constant.
Well, I am here to destroy your hopes
Psyker boutta be even more cracked lol
That is the finished balance pass
Maybe Fatshark should actually have a good learning experience? 🤔

Onlybuffs 
They do shadow nerfs all the time
We shall see
Give diff6, now
The primary market
Consoles could handle a pure number bump
The engine breaks and consoles just die if we jack up spawn rates
Just give them more hp/stagger resist
Ah is that why spawns are "broken"
Monkeys paw situation
Hey, we exploit the weapons while the malice players stay trapped in in their little malice maelstrom for all eternity
Yep
Well
FatShark got money to not do that
Big oof
Consoles increase playerbase and funding but simultaneously hold back true swarms. You hate to see it.
Difficulty 6: Up their animation speed, make everything tighter to react to.

Consoles should be able to handle that, no?
Won’t sell well on ps5
It isn't on ps5
Wdym?
The power fantasy is why the power creep is jumping massively
Xbox player attempting to turn 30°:
Idk about that, why'd they buff shooters then?
So either we get diff 6 with no extra rewards or the same thing happens but brand new console players pick diff 6 and die, and complain
Well, there should be no extra rewards, yeah
This is the tell tale that they don’t listen to playtesters
How so?
If they did gunner stun would be removed
They buffed shooters?
For 1 week
A bit ago, yeah. Then retracted some of the buff because it was a bit... obscene.
Oh yea remember that a little
I am currently having a fantastic time telling people who didn't read the patch notes well enough that smite isn't going to have a stun next patch.
I can handle my own on auric and even I think it was pretty bad in an annoying way. It was just unfun dealing with constant shooter waves.
Oh it was
Dwons+ soon I guess 
No
Yeah could use higher difficulty, preferably without a monstrosity spawning on every special kill.
Just looking at some zealot blessing buffs makes me think Why
But the people who belong in heresy and below died so many times it had to be removed
Slaughterer crusher oheaaa
As zealot main, I agree
See you've made the mistake of assuming fatshark writes notes in a proper way.
Delusional design choices made by people who can’t design the game
Where are these gamers going to
Not a single playtester agreed with that
Are they gonna make a fatbreezehead
Idk, are we sure these playtesters aren't those bad players?
While I wish with my entire being for a smite rework I will take being able to mess with "those" smykers.
Which group
First group is good players
Second is idiots collected from the forums

LOL
This sums up the games tonight.
Honestly the more surprising was the purg staff
Blaze away and rending lul
Well purg was already dummy broken the only thing it couldn't kill was crushers
I think I will stick to duos from now on
People just don't know cause dummythicc
Honestly I do enjoy the flame fantasy of being able to burn everything away and it didn't make huge sense to me that purgatus didn't... turn fat tin cans into ovens.
Or solos
Duos is easy
Because the other guy is competent
If you have 3 shitters it's real fun 
No no no, play with braindead allies that actually try to kill you
Only to get out damaged 5:1 because someone picked rending flamer
Yeah
Not for me
Could flamer rending work well with showstopper? If the explosions have damage falloff like the rumbler rending would negate that
It's all fun and games until the poxburster gets shot by the vet while you're pushing it
Plasma oooo
Care less about scoreboard? lol
I don’t
I do care about enemies being wiped instantly
Hence why nothing needed to be as strong as plasma
Just take knife and run ahead of flamer 
But they made two weapons so comically op that this forms the new meta, until something else creeps it out
I mean, I'll have to see the balance in game. People have to make a lot of assumptions (granted, we have precedent) about how things work for a lot of things to get to some sort of conclusion currently.
game at the highest difficulty intended for four players should indeed be hard with everyone needing to pull their weight
Can’t have that
It’s funny
I’m always happy to play with shit players
omg me
But let's be fair, there's always crazies who can just... do it themselves or somehow manage.
I just refuse to play with things that turn off the game
Car sales
True solo is just about being patient
All but the power maul on ogryn melee wise is strong
what does car sales mean
When do we get access to the exploding lances that kreigsman use?
Coming with the ratling patch
I mean, the reddit is small snapshot of players, and they're kinda bad.
If the main playerbase is even more casual that that?
💀
goes to show how much I play Ogryn
I didn't know what Karsolas meant either 🧎♀️

is shirtless or prison pajamas more based?
Remove_locks more based
Oh, brunt has something tasty for the crafting update.
"you will wear the toilet seat and you will like it"
Any good tips to improve my knife psyker gameplay?
get better at knife
I feel like I'm dying too much to make the damage output worth it
Especially when the other two human classes do knives better
eh zealot probably gets the best out of knife still
Or is there another melee weapon that works better for a scrier's gaze melee build?
vet and soyker is a toss up
kid named DS4
duelling sword
Sadly it's a bad fit for the character and I play 40k games to roleplay, damnit
otherwise I probably would
but my girl Solara is an angry punk rock chick who doesn't have the patience to learn how to fight like that
well if it cant fit your roleplay fantasy
thus, knife
