Right. At first I thought it was from stagger or using right after being thrown or something like that, but it's happened while just turning around the yell at a horde.
It doesn't happen often tho.
it likely will for a bit at least
duellist alone is enough to break DS4 further than it already is
explain this then. and yes im sure i had creeping flames.
Lag, on the server he just behind the starting line for the creeping flames.
I mean it registered the 2 enemies you shrieked

Maybe the animation for the warpfire was lagging and you killed em too fast?
darktide server moment
its malice who cares
besides I have lost all ability to play anything except purge and trauma with brainburst
The game was punishing you for malice gaming and decided for the fire not to work
Deserved honestly.
Surge/Shriek is just inverted BB/Purge
Take the surge pill
too many button presses for me
:(
makes my rheumatoid arthritis act up
damn disabilities
idk truama is fine great for me
truama
trauma causes trauma
ye
Is it possible to have a decent build with smite or assail while having venting shrink? Or does that not make any sense?
Shriek goes good with everything
It lets smite actually have kill pressure and it extends your channel time, and assail just makes a lot of peril
Just casually dipping my toes in darktide again, hoping the next update being a blast 😁
Yeah, smite with EP stacks, you can EP smite, venting when high, and keep that empowered smite going
And it's a great "whoops, I'm about to burst" lifesaver if it's off cooldown for anything else
What are you guys going to use for your curio perks?
toughness cdr and whatever else i can get
What's the hp boost threshold to not get 2tapped by bursters?
2x 21%hp with 5% extra hp, sniper resist and cdr
1x 17% toughness with 5% extra hp, 5% extra toughness and cdr
How much health do you have currently?
Ah wait two tap
I can't read lol
EP smite + creeping flames + PC is OP. It get's stronger as elite and special density increases.
Right now, you have to path into MIM (mind in motion) to get from assail to creeping flames, but doing that with a trauma or voidstrike build is pretty strong.
Best generalist build
Around 200 hp with 1 sniper resist will let you get sniped a nd bursted without going down.
EP smite and shriek is like peanut butter and bread. That's right, no jelly.

The jelly is always missing when playing Ep Smite Shriek

(it's a very straightforward and easy build for auric mael/t5)
Gonna get back to this shizzle tomorrow and try some of the suggestions out. Tis' getting late for me 😅 but then again. Sleep is for the weak
THE WORM!
meal storm
2.9k monster damage 
Illisi without slaughterer is kind of weird though.
i am jealous
any time something like this is about to happen my teammates show up to run through the crowd and be annoying
It's fine. UP is more consistent than Slaughterer - I doubt that the 20% power does matter a whole bunch for having a harder-to-stack blessing
i can only get epic horde kills when the other idiots are dead
If you keep peril up, unstable + uncanny in illisi is pretty good.
Wut how is slaughterer hard to stack on illisi? 
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
i have 70 illisi locked to executor
Not very, but you start a fight against say, melee elites? I can start one with upfront 20% power without killing anything
cant wait until the crafting update lets me clean up my force swords
Because you aren't always killing a horde with it, presumably. A bunch of enemy types will have it not stack at all or drop off.
Still weird tho @vestal fulcrum
I have like 3 good Illisis, I get to pick and choose 
I would have dropped US for Slaughterer had I had any other option that could kill Crushers/Mauler hats
Was this a scriers las pistol assail build
I like mine with deflector slaughterer. 
Nope, Assail + Shriek + DD
STROKE HARDER
It's been so long since I used illisi, does uncanny even do f all outside of carapace? What are the ADMs like on the lights
Illisi has obscenely good base ADMs, hang on
Shouldn't help with anything really outside of carapace with uncanny.
I have surge staff for crushers anyway.
from weapon card; lights and heavies respectively. Lights naturally don't do nothing against Carapace
I cannot imagine running a build with illisi as my only answer to crushers
Actually I can
Sounds bad
It's the same thing lol it's not easy to maintain 100 percent peril lol
I do. My only paintpoint is ogryn response groups, i.e., 4x crusher or 4x bulwark, but with enough space it's not a gigantic issue
So it's like 75% on maniac flak hmm
it's me i'm doing that currently
Already 1 shot flamer with special light on illisi.
I use surge for crushers when I'm using illisi
it is not great :)

Mutie is 2 specials without any peril any slaughters stack.
About 3 heavies to the head can manage crushers with uncanny.
but on anything except crushers and bulwarks it is nice
Yeah uncanny seems unnecessary tbh
Gimme more power or maybe some crit instead
Stroke. Swing. Stroke. Swing. Stroke. Swing, repeat like 3 more times. I'm at 80 peril 
Uncanny is for unpowered swings
And if you're at 80 peril, one stroke is already putting you in a safe spot for full UP
If you right click an assail and cancel the animation to stroke your sword it'll be even faster
Thing is garbage even with all the power in the world against lightly armored things like bruisers without uncanny
Illisi gud against mutie too. With some slaughterer stack you can 1 shot it very easily. Like a mutie coming at ya during a horde.

Ez 50%
Bro the ADM is 75% ish
It's not a duelling sword
Yeah I know. But when things like bruisers become a problem to cleave through unpowered it's kinda garbage
That's why uncanny is a must have
Except that's just ignoring what we're saying/the maths
75% of the damage is not a huge difference, and that difference gets smaller with whatever replacement blessing you have
Also uncanny doesn't increase cleave so I don't even understand
Bruh 💀
Uncanny and slaughterer is the best combo for illisi. Pretty much any of the ogs will tell ya that. If only one than uncanny
But IS IT
Good thing I am not an OG.
You can like what ever but when guys like Pygex and so on will disagree with you than you're wrong lol
Pretty sure it's even in psykaneum
Because pygex never gets anything wrong 
Anyone been running Battery Gunner lately? 💀
Bro is the GOAT at extensive testing and consistent updates. Doesn't make the Atheneum perfect.
And who are you to question it than?
Everyone should question things
the only thing wrong with pygex is that he likes boltpitol
unironically buff boltpistol pls
Also I'm credited twice in the Atheneum 
He likes it WITH WARP CHARGES
Oh yeah slaughter is the go to pick in atheneum for deflector but I definitely wouldn't pick anything over it or uncanny for a sword without deflector
WHYYYYY
because its a mid gun thats build for heresy
Puns.
and warp charges give it a nice basic buff that makes if feel like how it should be
How'd you get that pic of me
what's the best blessing combo for illisi and why is it uncanny slaughterer
Except DD hits all the same breakpoints, is more consistent (imo) and does more for your melee and assail
You also save like 6 talent points going to waste
yeah but what about the bodyshot breakpoints 
They don't change.
imo DD is far less consistent
The ONLY breakpoint difference is scab shotgunner headshot and you just need a little peril or maybe a gust of wind to hit it
Allies stealing kills smh my head
Idk I just ignore it all game and stay above 12 stacks 90% of the time
It bounces around for me but I find when I actually need it the stacks are low
Dunno why I would ever fight 20 scab bruisers only light spam at 0% peril without any specials at all but once slaughters start going it's 1 shot at the head.
like, I'll still take DD over eating warp charge's talent cost
DOWN WITH UNCANNY
But also do it again with health bars you goddamn heretic
I don't have hp bar for melee chaffs.
Do you dislike how... uncanny it is?
Only range chaff/elites/specials.
You can change the settings haha

I think you're more unhinged if you have hp bars for everything
I'm watching someone play SM2 right now and honestly i am wondering why the fucking Rejects feel stronger than Ultramarines
Not even power creep
Every time I play test and turn them all on I have to turn em all back off when the first horde spawns cos I can't see shit
Compare pre patch 13 to now lol
because the enemies are scaled up in SM2
Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah
but yes, we are power crept as hell as well
I'm just thinking "Don't come to Atoma Prime little Assault boy, you will get shredded by the first horde of poxwalkers you run into"
If we threw our rejects against the SM2 enemies we'd be mince meat
" You wouldn't survive a day on Atoma "
Honestly, assuming they stay as-is in SM2 without any lore-fitting happening
I think the Rejects would have the place cleared out in a week
Two tops
Nah I'd win
My brain is dying excuse me
idk depends on how fucked the underhive is
we know there is more nurgle daemons down there but we don't know HOW bad, just that there is a considerable amount
It's so amazing how they made the bolters feel so shit
Like they still do good numbers
depending on how lore accurate we are
They just feel shit
vet from 39 fucking wars
zealot who believes so hard he can turn invisible
beta-gamma level psykers
a fucking ogryn
i think we'd do well
Lore-accurate knife zealot soloing the entire tyranid swarm
Honestly, gameplay rejects have gameplay marines absolutely beat rn
The marines are so fucking slow
It makes sense, they're in heavy armor, but probably should be more agile than Ogryns, lol
Dude
In lore, marines are constantly referred to as "Something that big should not be able to move that fast"
brain burst the space marine from orbit 
When i imagine a marine i don't think whatever they did in SM2, i imagine fucking Armored Core movement
Sure, but for a game that tends to make things feel weightless and floaty/slippery, which isn't what you want. You can get around that but it's hard.
I wouldn't expect it from the SM2 dev tho
lokin sprinting like a ghazel 🦌
Again, Armored Core did that pretty well. You move ridiculously fast but you still feel like you're a massive damn mech
A friend of mine actually put a pretty good way to do it without changing much as well
FromSoft Fromsofting all over the place
Like have a "combat sprint" that is whatever they have now and have like a full-speed bounding sprint where they holster their main weapon and just focus on pure speed
You still have the issue of pretty static kill animations and the like tho
Yeah, those are pretty terrible.
how does psyker stand for the coming update?
buffs its disgusting
RENDING ON PURGE
oh that's spicy
It's honestly great how they just have the assault shove the thunder hammer up their ass whenever RNG decides they do a bare-handed execution
And also have a space marine swing a thunder hammer so ridiculously slowly that i saw the guy using it get shredded by time his regular swing connected
Yeah but it's not the appropriate strength increase either
Yeah
Somehow still faster than how a superhuman warrior whose entire specialization is thunder hammer swings it
nooooooo hammer good 😭
Ultrasmurf. 
Rejects just built different
It's so funny
Knife is so much better.
How a singular human being who is too religious for their own good
Somehow has more physical prowess than a goddamn marine
i dont have the fingers sfor that one
I can't hear you over this dueling sword
Gunker just gotta SO MUCH stronger
Knife zealot is fun
Auto attack mooooood
But it burns you out too quickly
Like i do one match of knife zealot and i immediately swap to something else or take a break
Me, but literally every match with any loadout lol
interesting
to be fair, I'm not a fan of gun psyker being made stronger
I get that some people enjoy it, but I personally don't
It's just really damn annoying because i want to like it but the more i look at it the less i like it
I play psyker for space wizadry
Yeah, since we're getting gunker buffs can we get vet some space wizardy
vet and zealot already get space wizardry
It's okay the really bad staff blaze trauma will get smol buff.
how else do you explain going invisible?
what do you call pulling a grenade out of your ass every 60 seconds?
is the surge staff being addressed?
naruto is a heretic
unironically tho that talent is canon guardsman are so undersupplied they have to figure out how to steal shit
now excuse me while I knock out the rest of the trials I'm missing in SM2
demolition stockpile
The duality of man, lol
it's literally impossible for a WH40K fan to play SM2 and not like it
As someone who isn't really a fan of WH40k and is only here for the gameplay, aight
^fake fan
i love 40k and it was not that good
I have no idea what you're doing wrong, nor what's wrong with you
just that you need to seek professional help immediately

mid gameplay, story i didn’t care about
Indeed, being a fan of WH40k is a serious illness
🍵
sure the settings were pretty but
I mean, yeah
that was it
expensive illness too
did you play by yourself only?
no
playing the campaign co-op was an absolute blast
i played through it with 2 people
Too smol, still bad
More buff pls
It's tru
Until Trauma staggers the whole map with each cast, buff plz
Blazing spirits t5 is guarantee 5 stacks of soublaze every cast without crit.
is this an actual change?
ok, thought so
Huh
apparently i was wrong
we can be sanctioned if we pick the right planet+defining moment
Yes all of you are sanctioned apart from me.
Spanktioned
no everyone is unsanctioned except for me
this feels right
that unsanctioned psykussy be hittin diff tho
"Embracing the Wap" - Savant

taur too busy playing black souls
That Black souls? 😳
trauma staff should be able to blow up tertium
Literally been in the game since launch?
Still F tier
Clad can you DM me a sec, just need to check something (tried DMin u but u got DMs closed)
until the end of the month anyway 
"I'm sorry, but I have to hurt you now :3"
^ kind british cat lady that involuntarily crushes skulls occasionally
Why are you awake
Im british, we dont sleep
Did ya see that?? I did that! :D
Not a single Ogryn in sight
Oh wait
Didn’t see it
Gamers don’t look up

Even though I'm not using revolver right now, still waiting for Rannick's revolver
I waited 2 years for red Ogryn beret, what's 2 more for Rannick's revolver

Brunt decided to be nice
fitting caption
then don't fuck on top of it
servitors at work
It's perfectly safe, the body is blocking others from falling in
god damn I love skulls
I think it'd be fun for psyker to be given a scimitar as a melee weapon, it'd add to their repertoire of unique swords. Could give it a fancy-dancy swishy-swashy moveset as well
unfortunately it will suck
I mean, it's kind of hard to compete with an illisi.
I've gotten what I asked for, but at what cost?
The cost is gatekeepers uninstalling 
"NOOOO MUH IDENTITY!!!1!1!!!"
Classes have their identity from their talents and specialties, not their weapons.
Like, psyker has terrible boss damage because they lack any talents that increase unyielding damage or grant rending, and any talent that increases warp damage is virtually useless against bosses, save for using brain burst.
But then you're using brain burst.
That being said, I can't wait to play dsmk4 zealout and poke a cspawn's stupid little head until it falls over.
you talkin mad shit for a varlet in br- shit it hit a poxwalker
This is where you hold right click.
counterpoint: laspistol/reconlas
vacuum capsule
Yes
but it does feel a little silly to have 3 different classes with the exact same weapon setup (potentially)
power sword voidstrike zealot 🙏
Fr tho
Thunderhammer with Scrier's would be kinda silly I think
sir it was 5:39 AM
scrier's psword
time to onetap crushers!!
zealot already has gaze as a keystone
sg but only the crit part
theres other stupid stuff in the zealot tree like scourge
mmm yes very true
scourge illisi
with blazing spirit
bleed knife players had their fun already, now it's time for flame sword
true
if i wanted to do boss damage with burgertus, can i just keep doing the light puffs at the boss?
to maintain mobility
youll build up stacks slower but you can maintain them better
Get max stacks, do like 2 pokes with your dsmk4/deimos or a special illisi heavy, swap back and puff again.
Soulblaze stacks lasts so long you only need to repuff once
Before the boss just dies
how long would it take to get max stacks i wonder
because recently i have just been laspistoling bosses
and that is really mobile
@restive ice Sir, there's been a second leyley pfp.
Now you both must fight to the death.
been playing maelstrom as smite soyker and it's like getting back on crack
I feel dirty
Smoyker W
i see you, and I raise you this game I just had. We had a full team from the start 
at least the revives/rescues isn't 10 billion
Most people tend to disconnect the moment they drop anyways 
Or if feel a bit
at that time. Piss off a DH and disconnect to cause it aggro swap to someone else
It's just a prank bro
Don't do that, you can get banned for that.
Imagine if psyker warp-exploding instantly killed them and caused an angry daemonhost to spawn
I won't do that. I just take the death if I end up pissing off a DH by accident (We love Soul fire on Elite kill)
why are people this rarted
this is like the 5th time this happened I do not use my fucking blitz ever
Because some people want to play want to play with their own special group of players
I had a guy leave when I was playing knife zealot before I even did anything, lol
Knife players got cooties so that's probably why
I wasn't even stealth knife, I was book knife. 😔 Only cooties I got is from the ink.
I broke my personal record. 16.
Why care?
I don't want these people in my game.
Probably
Who cares about smykers?
Just kill faster than they can smite. Pb solved
Total Smyker Affection
Love doing it all
more focused on living
We those moments where you share a braincell
real
Times I wish you can't place a Ammo crate or Med pack near each other
As much as these moments give you a bit of a chuckle when it happens
excuse you we need both medkits at the same time in the same spot after saving them the whole mission
Or as a compromise. Make it so you can't tap place one, but if you hold M1 for a moment you place it down regardless
I think this was a case of Fat Sharked
No wait
I think I saw what happened
You dodged it
But you walked right into it
big sad
No...The fucker turned a bit just he swung down
And with you moving a bit to the left during your melee
But that's my best guess. Wish you can slow down clips in Discord
oh god
i'll use smite once update drops too (melee talent!!)
hopefully they dont all mald at me
i only use bb for killing far away snipers anyways tbh
BR I only really use is to tag off running tox bombers before they can hide at least for m Voidstrike build
BB should get a talent that makes it target only elites disablers and bosses
if smite has 3 why cant BB?
How can I get my friend to stop blowing himself up
He insists he is at his peak performance with his bowling ball staff at 100% peril but keeps missing and blowing up
I keep telling him to just not let it get that high but he says the damage output is highest there
and doesn't want to put it away for his sword because he says the sword is only killing half as fast
Does he use shriek?
No, he uses the shields
Well to can try to convince him that shriek is a better carry ability (which it is) and he will blow up less
the real problem he has is his movement he doesn't dodge well and takes tons of chip damage
He's using a blessing that quells on headshots and thinks it's saving him
Oh transfer peril is pretty meh
Staff generates minimum 5% per cast I think? So 93% for safety
stop picking him up after he blows up
No I want him to like me and keep playing with me
Yeah if he insists on a high peril playstyle but can't manage it just stop being nice to him 
I will tell him about 93 though
theres nothing wrong with edging to 80-60 range if you're not great at managing it
you dont have to go up to 90
surviving is more important
Either swap to shriek or always quell at 90% or above, those are the choices if they keep blowing up
He's using shield because he saw a reddit video recently where a guy used two walls so he could use his brain burst really fast
He says he gets overwhelmed because he can't deal with the horde on top of him while he's trying to use the staff
I tell him just pull out the sword
but he says that he starts casting at 97 and banks on hitting enemies to quell
Which is ridiculous
Well shriek is a great tool for making space against a horde
And yeah that is stupid because you can just miss and blow up
tell him about battle meditiation
maybe the enemies dying can save him lmao
at that point just agree and accelerate
just let him keep doing it until he sees the error of his way
Tell him to go surge+nexus for blessings instead of transfer peril and take shriek instead of shield to make space for himself
Full embrace the cringe and have him swap to EP smite/shriek
wrong
you have to be at 95 peril to be worth a damn

post blessing book
I will see what I can do to convince him
while you were getting auric exemplar and playing maelstrom
Bait your friend into using Exorcist on the swords
But he's also not great at dealing with little dudes at all
i was studying the art of blessingmaxxing
while u were having FUN i was speedrunning sedation for melkbux
He gets hit a lot and doesn't manage his dodges well yet
what are you nerds talking about
NO
He's been playing for a few months I will try and help him
yes

my reaction to that information
so when you getting elite guard and Auric Exemplar?
Speaking of fun I bring scatter shot and no respite on the lawbringer and get 10 stacks of marksmans focus by firing into a horde at head level
Good fun
NEVER
(I dont have auric exemplar either cause I never focus on it/cheese it)
also it doesnt need to be maelstrom
but thats so lame
maelstrom or bust
Is exemplar the one where you go 10 in a row without dying
the emperor himself rescued me twice
I'm not sweating hard enough for it
i dont have auric exemplar or ass
THE EMEROR WANTED ME TO GET ASS
just play bubble psyker in maelstrom
Any cyberhawks in the chat
same but sage for psyker nomad for zealot
ew
I don't have it yet I have explorator and nomad
Hehe I have a devious plan when the patch drops
i already did it
Explain
i had the same idea
i use 0 titles cause they all suck
if you only have one t4 on a weapon put it on a bunch of blanks and sacrifice them after the update drops
i have 10 blue picks with thrust 4 because its the only pick t4 i have
kamikaze psyker
By the way the best build for surge staff is warp charges that reduce peril build right
ye
Surge is on surge staff?
Worse, smite psyker
soontm
i pray melee psyker
Gonna try it with trauma staff
Everyone will have new melee stuff
Then I'll zap them in place
besides ability spamming
Screw your melee combat
I'm going to make smykers feel the pain they inflicted
insert maniacal laugh here
Taste a fraction of my pain
I hate that you have to take smite to do the funni smite melee keystone
Smite itself will not stun anymore?
Or just the augments cuz I thought it was just that augment
It won't stun if you pick the augment
Weird flex
peak
I can run smite with scriers just to purely buff my melee

schizo build crafting time
Yeah
what the fuck is the point
UHHH GUIES LEMME JUST TO 10 DAMAGE A SEC TO THIS ENTIRE WAVE
heavies will electrocute dealing more damage
Your heavies will stun
the rashad zealot with 70% damage would love me for fixing his breakpoints
sounds horrible ill keep using BB
And you'll have access to Hsword 9
Build cleave on that and spam H2 H3
damn...
Horde clear and control
100% cleave based on peril
rending purge time


my purge already has 10999% cleave
Cleave based peril + lightning heavies +HSword(DBlow)+Scriers
yup

aetherwalker soyker
hsword? try illisi
YAWN
blazing spirit bloodthirsty, we dot maxing
Sometimes I think about making a build where I just take all the top nodes and never make it to an ability
weird way to spell slaughterer bloodthirsty
go blazing spirit illisi with purg rending
dot maxxer
wait, mk6 Knife for bleed, PC and venting flames for soulblaze, and smite heavy melee
dot maxxing
Sorry but I'll have to test Savage Sweep Hsword with the melee smite
Possibly 38 cleave
The Mk1 is the one with sweeping heavies, right?
Yes
Also my favorite
Not amazing against crushers or something like that but I have other tools
The light chain is enough to kill a trapper quickly
I like the 7
why are you catachaning against a crusher
parries can kill hordes and lights do more than enough
I think if it had cleaving H1 and ST H2
parry chains into light overhead
it be 10x better
This is literally Mk4 right
just the push attack is a downward swing
7
is that not the attack that would come after H1 or H2 ?
There's a difference
Ok, so Catachan and Hsword have Savage Sweep and Wrath
Time to cook once the patch drops
H2 follows up with a strikedown
Heavy heavy light
parry also chains into strikedown light
I think the Mk4 chains from parry into heavy overhead
Because it's supposed to have a very clear role at hitting lots of people at once
even though the other dclaws can still do that?
and still be useful in a 1v1 scenario cause they have actual STs?
dclaw 1 seems like it just got the short end of the stick tbh
And parry only heads have a low reputation in my mind when I played with a guy who insisted he was the parry god and then kept going down in hordes because he would stand there and parry early
dclaw 1 still parries
wow no shit
im just saying
dclaw 1 got shafted
because the other dclaws can still horde clear AND have strikedowns
thats all it is
i guess?
I want to get shred on my favorite catachan but I got stuck with hammerblow
or thunderstrike
which it turns out is decent at making people stand still so you can chop heads
like literally the mk7 has the sweeping heavy
into a strikedown heavy
into the strikedown light
lmfao
but if the placebo of mk1 being "faster" horde clear pushes you to use it more
im not stopping ya
I have a gun
i just hate that Dclaw 1 sucks
I seem to gravitate towards the crappy weapons though
Every time I use a weapon I find out it sucks
Or everyone hates it
Like ogryn power maul
Or obscurus
I love you obscurus force sword
Best looking weapon in the game
Think dclaw 1 hidden single target (parry) to the Branx Pickaxe hidden horde clear
FS can't keep getting away with it
I'm looking forward to the buff to branx bash
I'm so glad they tweaked the move set so you can go back to the strikedowns
#1 bummer with it was definitely not being able to bash dreg ragers out of their combos
I don't want to push them I want to hit them in the face and then follow up with a pickaxe to the forehead
Scrier's Gaze + Agripinaa/Kantreal Shotgun[Manstopper/Scattershot] + Tranquility Through Slaughter.
Thoughts on this? Won't this combo lead to 100% crit with dramatically increased SG uptime and permanent cleave?
Oh, and if Warp Splitting applies to ranged attacks, add that to the pile as well. Basically guarantees that Scattershot will proc even w/out a critical hit. It would also mean that Manstopper + Warp Splitting could yield Combat Shotty blasts with Manstopper cleaving through something insane, like 200+ hitmass units.
You could probably drop manstopper for flechette if warp splitting gives decent enough cleave and just have a bleed shotgun that wipes the floor with anything that isn't a crusher.
Good enough to grab for the later update?
Manstopper gives like, +10,000% cleave. No, that's not an exaggeration. It increase your cleave by an order of magnitude or something.
So the idea is that you take Warpsplitter so that your shotty goes from x10+ cleave to x20+ cleave, which means instead of being able to shoot through six maulers, you can shoot through 12+. Which is excessive, but basically it ensures that every time you crit w/your shotty, you will punch through an entire horde. LITERALLY an entire horde, until you hit a wall or carapace.
big fan of them calling it math.huge
HYUUUUUUUGE
i will admit i didnt think about manstopper when i was thinking about shotgun psyker
I'll assume Carapace still stops it
i wont run it cause i have hsword on that build anyway
yeah cara would stop it
cause armor stop
iirc
And if you've ever run a Vet build w/Manstopper + Scattershot + Deadaim, you'll be familiar w/how easy it is to get a combat shotty striking for 1,300+/shot vs. Flak w/basically infinite cleave. Scrier's and DD basically means that this set-up will be even easier to keep up on Psyker, and probably do more damage on average too.
tsk tsk not double barrel + hsword
Crushers still winning
agri better + i already ran DB
though the caveat with psyker is that you don't have the melee reload that vet does have and happens to make good use of
Crushers are a literal non-issue unless you're swamped with trashmobs, which a one-shot inst-gibbing shotgun with literally infinite cleave solves pretty easily.
yeah it would be more situational
and although i do love true aim, a guaranteed crit + 1 shell refund on melee kill is a pretty damn good advantage
Trash is the issue, not crushers.
you at least dont get suppressed with scriers now
yoshi W
vraks 7 dreams can be realized
although id just run agri now
most of the time
will be big for bolt pistol though
which i do run on psyker a lot
62% Finesse
It's trash.
I come seeking knowledge.
How does the really big police taser work
yeah skullcrusher and high voltage are really good, the special stun can be nice for like bulwarks although its not very fast at kiling them
I would still refrain from shocking a poxburster
So how different are the MKs?
just moveset really
iirc indiginatus has a bunch of overheads and a sweep H1 and the agni has more diagonal sweeps
How does the electricution work? its it any enemy with the particle effect?
Yeah status effect on the heavies
You've got them backwards, but yeah.
Agni is the strikedown one, indi is the better one overall.
Pretty sure their bps are identical.
Wait what does that do?
Instant explosion, iirc.
flashback to Dorn getting absolutely obliterated by 12 poxbursters in a doorway
Every time I hear a burster ticking, I assume it's melded together with two other bursters
Nah you don't understand unless you've seen the clip, Dorn was sitting in front of the door trying to push kill one of them and wipe them all out, but mistimed the push and got instantly nuked.
So much corruption damage taken at once that he just straight up died.
follow this rule but trappers
I had to preach about shadow trappers in zealot chat last month
Silent trappers got me twice while doing ASS.
(they would spawn 2 trappers , 1 directly behind the other, but I promise you on everything the 2nd trapper never made a sound or anything)
and you would always get trapped
if you werent ready
The instant, mind numbing rage from getting trapped by a silent trapper is insane.
the silent trapper behind the real noise making trapper
Same goes for magnetic dogs.
is the most fucked up shit ever
stabbed a dog in the head with mk3 last night, >doesnt get staggered or take any HP dmg at all
gets pounced
Don't forget that trapper sometimes has their sounds permanently broken so they stay silent until someone kills it.
How does Sustained Fire work for staffs? Does it synergize with Surge blessing?
Their break points are not the same. The strike down one has better break points.
While the ignitus whatever version has the overall better move set, the strike down version is more interesting for Psykers as we have better options for an overall weapon
also got a surge on another staff right after posting
real
That Blast Radius is sad. I'd still keep, but man... what a letdown. Quell Speed is unironically your dump stat, since the difference between 60% and 80% is like... 0.11 seconds or something.
Anybody else surprised that Fatshark is going to give Surge the Surge blessing? Memes aside, it's going to be hilariously broken.
it's void though. Blast Radius means fuck and all for the staff
Oh fk you're right, thought it was Traumalol.
Yep, true.
sg surge surge with the no explodey node could be a lot of fun
I'm in favor of surge surge regardless of it the m2 works with it tbh
Crits are going crazy
M2 is what will determine if it's an ultimately worthwhile blessing though. Surge is arguably better than Flurry/Nexus assuming it's for M2 and M1.
I still am pissed that Surge doesn't give the Trauma M2 a double blast.
i don't much like trauma after finding out about the ginormous outer radius
M2 doesn't matter when I'm M1maxxing

Valid. It makes great use of blazing spirit tho.
dropkick trauma users into a running river
implying you can ever get into melee rang of a trauma user 
rivers are fun
until you get sucked under the dock and can't outswim the current
well... that also happened in the ocean
oceans and rivers are fun
idk why this suboptimal as hell build is working better than warp charges
but it is quite fun
all my homies hate warp charges
is that the stabgun
Pistol Whipper 9000
Disrupt Destiny is the best keystone for psyker and it's really not even close lol
at a minimum, by just taking a single point of DD, you get entirely passive wallhacks on priority targets
shit's nuts
I've been itching to do a build like this. I just keep forgetting
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
finally found a twins mission
and i dced twice from it
are servers ok?
rude servers
what the heck
i just wanted to do weeklies 😭
Maybe after update when more people are back you'll be able to find a lobby.
for twins
i dont want hardmode i just wanna do uprising a couple of times for weeklies
The game must really hate you today.
eh tomorrow
rare flayer value
powerful
peak
i will pick flayer on all my builds now
gamblemaxxing
if only it was Mk6 with lacerate uncanny
"suboptimal as hell"
MK VI +Uncanny Strike and Flesh Tearer
Perilous Combustion on burst DPS staff
Creeping Flames + Wildfire
DD on two high-finesse weapons
You're literally running a copy-paste meta build for the Surge staff. Doubly so for solo runs.
suboptimal =/= non meta
Yes, yes it literally does == non meta.
ok
flesh tearer > lacerate, Wildfire isn't necessary (holdover from when I was using WC), not-peak curio perks
no I'm just high and have to backspace like, everu other owrd
I'm going to make it into an optimal build post-update though
or not, idk. depends on if the m1 talents are meme
What would make it more optimal? Dropping toughness nodes?
Aw thnx! No clue what that means though
Oh, I'm not considered an absolute newb anymore. Cool!
mainly dropping wildfire and the extra toughness node below Warp Rider
Wildfire is really good if you plan on running solo/duo stuff. I used to think it was garbage, but it has utility in small teams.
And yeah, I think that toughness node isn't necessary. If you slide while charging, Empathic Evasion isn't necessary on Surge either.
Are we permitted to drop YT links here?
taking EE only because I can't take Seer's Presence and Anticipation together yet
It's also good in teams with more than one psyker is you want to steal their SB damage. 🥲
Red role means you can post links and images.
Perfectionism Value
I'm not even lying
High Intensity with someone else using a Purgatus
And you steal soulblaze ownership

J-I-II-IV is cancer. Because of pox gas and nothing else.
The fact that it also eats frames is just insult to injury.
"sometimes you are supposed to push back despite no enemy presence" is a great modifier
IBS and lactose intolerance simulator.
just eat only cigarettes 
shriek failed to stagger a reaper i was running at 😭
🤔 i dont think it can stagger reapers
headsplosion can stagger them :)
you would need trauma at 90% charge for that i think
funny little staff m1s can suppress them
staves have an m1?
so i'm told
i play psyker, zealot and rarely ogryn because i cant aim
Then play burga or surge only,
Always take wildfire if you're running with other psykers 
You can push reapers with shriek, but the closer you are the less peril you need.
Wildfire is ultrabased.
i play purge mainly and trauma in scab melee 
I don't know the exact numbers, but around 20% peril you can push a reaper right in front of you, but at around 12m you need like 90% peril to push with shriek.
The push is more like a nudge tho. Reapers have a lot of stagger resistance. As already mentioned, M1 on staves can suppress tho.
Trauma is too hard not worth it.
Not surprised
trauma is also very bad and not worth it
you of all people have no right to bitch at me
knives tho, thats the only reason i try to bother aiming 😻
Is it new skins tomorrow?
no
delayed so they can work on the patch
why do think they rolled out a hotfix yesterday instead of tomorrow?
D:
I was half expecting a holy BONK and I get a boring knife kill
i picked up the ammo and killed it 
Should have BONK that heretic!
bruh i am not bonking trappers mid net
You had the Emperor's protection. You'll been fine trust
No, but I been on the part of a sniper 2 for 1 deal
vent purge not even once
The issue with Void strike. It can deal with snipers well, but not multiple snipers in different locations
And my fault for trusting my teammates to deal with it
thats why u take assail with void
just bb em idk
also works
Yeah no. Ain't giving up CDR on elite kill for it
At least WArp charges won't be as point demanding....Hopefully
this video isn’t loading for me
sad
1 point less lel
works for me try downloading it
Might be enough for me to actually get KD on one of my Psyker builds
gods strongest malice warrior
how do you not have kd
by not selecting it on the talent tree
explain
like this
Because I generally don't find myself in enough spots to really justify it
time to build another void im never gonna use 
I'm surprised you're not saving plasteel for next patch

i still upgrade one or two weapons a week and change out their blessings to prep for the update
Pigs be flying
im also buying bases off brunt
look at this bad boy
its gonna be all 80s (i hope) at launch
awesome defence
when getting dumped it good
is precognition finesse damage just a 60% weakspot + 60% critical damage or is there a different formula
What ranged weapon to complement with smite (aka full palpatine mode) after this update
Returning to game and can’t understand shit of the update for psyker
cant go wrong with surge double the palpatine
If you're doing surge, I recommend the left keystone, specifically the talent that gives peril generation reduction with each stack. Will let you use the secondary on surge staff a lot more before having to vent peril like normal.
Alternatively, you can take the middle keystone, to empower your smite ability. It's really easy to get stacks, since there's only 3 and if you opt for the talent that gives you 100% change on elites, then it's not hard to always be carrying 1 or 2, or at max.
I personally run surge/smite as my CC loadout. I match it with bubble, as support as well.
crit damage and weakspot
If you're fully investing in smite, surge staff is the best pick. Revolver works well too, but keep in mind how you're going to deal with crushers. Use ranged to get EP stack, cast smite, at 85% peril cast shriek with creeping flames to extend the cast and hit break points, and then get PC procs. This scales with elite and special density.
Noted
Surge it is then
Bc ammo goblins
(I am one of those)
Blessings?
Flurry/ nexus. Perks specifically for this build are cara and unyielding (recommended by Atlas). Otherwise perks on surge staff always include flak, but this build is different.
Due to the surge's high crit chance, I would also recommend opting for a build towards the talents that have the "On Crit" Effect [Increase Damage, 1 second Ghost -dodge ranged damage-, etc], to capitalize on it.
Keep in mind that this is a smite build. So you won't be critting as often as you would on a surge focused build.
Fair.
