psyker-class

[late sapphire]

No

Decapitator is finesse

Decapitator sucks

Decimator is power

[magic kayak]

also if you're doing light attack spams headtaker would be better right

oohh yep i totally misread that

[late sapphire]

Finesse doesn't do as much as you'd think

[magic kayak]

yeah ok I have decimator t3 and headtaker t4

[strong gulch]

Finesse vs finesse damage too

[late sapphire]

Try it out in the psykhanium first

[magic kayak]

yeah will do

[late sapphire]

Tbh i kinda dislike caxe and taxe on psyker

We have dueling swords and force swords

[magic kayak]

I find it really nice when i run my gunker because it cuts through hordes like butter

the ds I use on builds that dont have as strong of single target damage, for poking muties, crushers, maulers, etc

caxe when my melee needs to be the horde clear

though arguably most staffs can handle horde clear pretty well

[strong gulch]

they do

[late sapphire]

surge ds4...

i feel like on mael you don't really need any horde clear

[strong gulch]

illisi or chainsword horde clar tho

[late sapphire]

well positioned shrieks do the trick quite well

[magic kayak]

yeah true, shriek is great but on auric it clears like 1/4 of your horde it seems like

[late sapphire]

6 stacks sb kill any trash mobs

[magic kayak]

not sure rampage is a good idea on this

[late sapphire]

Pay attention to uptime

Some people swear by rampage but i think riposte and shred are better

shred is better if you find yourself fighting more offensively, riposte if you're fighting defensively

[magic kayak]

why not uncanny?

[late sapphire]

uncanny is BIS

[magic kayak]

I can basically one shot most specialists in the head

[strong gulch]

uncanny is assumed

[late sapphire]

should have mentioned that

[magic kayak]

ah ok I see what you mean

[late sapphire]

uncanny is just too good

[magic kayak]

I do agree, rampage is just not always applicable and its super short uptime

I will say, if I run into a situation where I need to clear some flak to get to specialist it's kind of nice to have rampage

[strong gulch]

If you tend to whiff or hit dead bodies, shred stacks drop. But if you have someone stunning and staggering, you won't be getting the dodge proc of riposte.

[late sapphire]

Then again you don't really need the dps if the enemies are stunned anyways

[magic kayak]

true

[late sapphire]

I've never found myself executing smikered crushers and thinking 'damn i really need that crit chance right now'

[strong gulch]

Even after the cleave increase, right now rampage is annoying to keep up. If there is no fodder or armor prevents cleave, then rampage just sits there.

[magic kayak]

you can never have too much crit chance

[strong gulch]

Ye

[magic kayak]

ok im swapping it out

ok now what about this haha

[late sapphire]

if i ever see a csword psyker i'm barreling em off a cliff

[magic kayak]

I think the perks are junk and I didn't mean to change blessing so might be trash

[strong gulch]

no idea on chainswords. no experience with them. I can only refer to the guide in the pins

[magic kayak]

haha I've never actually used this

feels like I only do DS, knife, caxe. I used to only use force swords but I don't have a good one

[strong gulch]

crafting update will fix it

[late sapphire]

Never psyker sworded

[magic kayak]

true, just a few more days...

[late sapphire]

intuitively i'd say bloodletter is probably the best blessing

after that savage sweep seems good for more clear or rev it up for mobility

idk csword blessings are uninspiring

[strong gulch]

I don't know the details of the new talents, but if we can get more cleave, rampage might be nicer to keep up. idk tho

[late sapphire]

perks unyielding for bossing probably flak or maniak secondary

[magic kayak]

true, I was looking at the patch notes but I don't remember seeing that

Speaking of which, I'm interested in the new rend for purgatus. Might actually try it again

[late sapphire]

ds gets power on repeat hit, dodge refund on headshot and thrust

[strong gulch]

Oh thanks.

I swear I remember something about cleave in our talents tho. Maybe it was only on ranged or something.

[late sapphire]

taxe gets an insane sounding blessing

[magic kayak]

warp splitting gives us up to 100% cleave based on peril

[late sapphire]

ah you said talent i read blessing in my tired mind

somehow

[magic kayak]

which is a talent tree

[strong gulch]

reading hard

[strong gulch]

that might be it

[magic kayak]

soul drinker talent plus purg blessing for rend is also interesting, but it doesn't say it stacks

[potent echo]

train

[late sapphire]

train...

[potent echo]

its a trap

[late sapphire]

im looking forward to taxe becoming the best psyker melee

'guaranteed crit after weakspot crit kill' talent

[potent echo]

i wouldnt mind that

[late sapphire]

• bromentum = unstoppable hording tool

[magic kayak]

yeah that does seem crazy

what about tranquility through slaughter with SG

[strong gulch]

I'm excited for chainaxes

[potent echo]

chain axing

chain smoking

[strong gulch]

I'm going to have to learn new words. Thanks darktide.

[strong gulch]

like in the restaurants and bars when I was a kid

[magic kayak]

So is empyric resolve really just going to give us -40% peril generation flat?

[late sapphire]

Yes

No noticeable side effects

[magic kayak]

-30% toughness replenishment is wild also but still that seems pretty crazy

[late sapphire]

I hope it's additive siblings...

empyric resolve warp charges + that one -5% talent -> 20% peril gen...

a man can wish

[potent echo]

our first cursings in a long time

[magic kayak]

and dont forget the -6% per warp charge

inner tranquility

[late sapphire]

Might finally be able to surge more than 3 times

[magic kayak]

dont get crazy now

[strong gulch]

We are gonna get nerfed after this buff. I can feel it. Things are gonna get the PC and Soulstealer treatment. Maybe not the assail treatment.

[magic kayak]

what happened to soulstealer?

[late sapphire]

i still think the pc nerf is funny

Oh no i have to kill one more shotgunner before the other 8 combust and die

[strong gulch]

used to give double what it does now

[magic kayak]

naturally. What about PC?

[late sapphire]

4 stacks not 3

[strong gulch]

ye

[magic kayak]

wow I didn't even notice they nerfed that

[strong gulch]

I can't remember if the radius was also slightly reduced

[late sapphire]

about 12 is enough to kill gunners shotgunners and their ilk

[magic kayak]

good lord

[strong gulch]

PC doesn't have a limit so it was going hard... and still does

[magic kayak]

fair

[late sapphire]

pc venting shriek is just so absurdly op

i could be sitting there scratching my balls and throwing out shrieks every 10s and i'd still do more damage than average

[magic kayak]

I do enjoy the 6 warp charges with vs and just spamming it sometimes

[strong gulch]

always be screaming

[late sapphire]

Sure, but on auric mael muties + bursters + hounds

Yknow i'll sometimes be struggling to get the peril to shriek

[strong gulch]

what's the psyker doing??

vocal warmups

[late sapphire]

Sometimes we kill a pack of dogs and suddenly a kill notification for 20 maulers pops up

[magic kayak]

Just gotta kill a few to get it rolling 😄

[strong gulch]

Things that haven't even walked onto the map yet and you get the kill credit.

it was skill

skill I says

[late sapphire]

I think it's icky that the shout only travels in a cone though

it should be circular!

[magic kayak]

I mean that actually would be way op

[late sapphire]

shhh

[magic kayak]

I did notice the new skill tree doesn't prevent you from choosing more than one talent on the warp siphon tree

so you can technically get warp charge 10% on soul blaze and 4% for kills in coherency, etc

maybe its not true, but otherwise why split the path

[strong gulch]

It might be middle ground for WS being point hungry. At least I complain about all of the time.

[magic kayak]

currently its connected, but in this its not, and the other trees still are. seems weird

[strong gulch]

DD would be way op if you could choose longer duration and higher stack count

[magic kayak]

hell yeah it would be amazing

but honestly with the change, is the 10 seconds really that neccessary?

[strong gulch]

I'm interesting in playing no inner tranq surge but still getting warp battery. I will blow up harder.

[magic kayak]

at max stacks at 15 and 10 seconds you have 150 seconds until you go down to zero, at 25 and 4 its 140

[strong gulch]

Unless I go the SG route and get that no blow up for 10 seconds talent

[magic kayak]

but you figure, you have 10 more stacks, so thats 40 seconds of having more stacks than a max 10 second one

[late sapphire]

total duration doesn't really matter

[magic kayak]

yeah exactly

[late sapphire]

one headshot per 30s is easily doable

[magic kayak]

easily done

[late sapphire]

one headshot per 12s is doable but you have to focus on it for some time until you get used to it

i just play ws instead

[magic kayak]

I do dd on the voidstrike staff

it makes for easy stacks for sure

[late sapphire]

dd voidstrike is a classic

do you run assail?

[magic kayak]

yep

[late sapphire]

assail lmb to stack true aim, then a fat surge double voidstrike

works well

[magic kayak]

hell yeah, works wonders

[late sapphire]

I've been sending letters to fatshark hq telling them they should make surge hit head but they've been ignoring me for some reason

[magic kayak]

I do assail down to venting shriek

lol surge hitting head would just be so amazing. right now surge just doesn't feel strong enough at all

[late sapphire]

surge absolutely fucks

[strong gulch]

I miss that time smite hit weakspots.

[late sapphire]

the outright dps is kinda lacking though yeah

assail means you miss psykinetics aura which lowers shriekiness

[magic kayak]

don't get me wrong, surge is super fun but for actually killing enemies quick enough I just don't feel like it does that as well as some other builds

yeah no psykinetics aura does blow

[late sapphire]

surge does well enough against hordes

mixed or not

you just need the talent tree to support it

vs a group of crushers or maulers though just whip out your deimos or ds

[strong gulch]

Depends on how you play surge staff, but it is the "worst" staff. Still good tho.

[magic kayak]

I still enjoy it but I find it harder to carry if my team isn't up to par

[late sapphire]

I will magic-fist-fight you if you say surge is worst staff

[magic kayak]

haha I wouldn't say worst, I'd give that to purg, but really all the staffs are viable really

[late sapphire]

"worst" is barely acceptable

[magic kayak]

on purg you do have strong stagger, though I think they nerfed that, and the horde clear is of course amazing but otherwise its not good in situations where you need to be the one to take out high priority targets quickly

[late sapphire]

I think carrying with surge is easiest because it does well as a baby sitting tool

[strong gulch]

It's my favorite staff. Surge I mean. If purg didn't have infinite cleave, I'd probably rate surge above it. Either way surge good.

[plucky flax]

I do more damage on surge than void

[magic kayak]

yeah I get your point honestly I could agree with that

[strong gulch]

same lol but I'm bad with void

[magic kayak]

but do you end up doing more overkill dmg?

[late sapphire]

can't bring personal skill into it or they'll think we're just bragging.......

[plucky flax]

No I use the ovenproof it tracks more accurate damage.

[magic kayak]

surge has super high pin point dmg on your first mob hit right?

I need to change to that mod

[late sapphire]

super high around 1k

2nd mob around 200

[strong gulch]

I see void having more potential than void, regaurdless of my ability to used the staves.

[magic kayak]

chaos take you

[strong gulch]

But looking at them in isolation doesn't really help either.

[plucky flax]

The ease of use from surge just beat out all other staves

[magic kayak]

I exclusively played surge for over a month I think and maybe I burned myself out on it

[late sapphire]

I for one always run surge and (almost) deal the most damage

[strong gulch]

ye

[late sapphire]

Though that is because i turn up the sweatiness if someone else in the team is performing well

[magic kayak]

ok I figured it out. my staff is mid, thats why

[strong gulch]

I do surge or trauma most of the time. I do the odd purg + ep BB too.

[plucky flax]

You should play creeping flames spam warp charges with surge to truly enable it

[late sapphire]

always

[late sapphire]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1284184160650657813/image.png?ex=66f0e9f2&is=66ef9872&hm=c0e1572eef1415ce73c2a563cf3616bcc939aa7b961cb01dc4d4b2a707f88952&

this is mine

[plucky flax]

Flak you need it to let you 1 shot shotgunner without crit at high peril

[late sapphire]

There are not many like it but this one is mine

[plucky flax]

That is so nice better than mine surge.

[magic kayak]

I do use creeping flame and 6 warp charges on my surge

[late sapphire]

psykinetics aura as well of course?

[strong gulch]

That one point away. The game should have given it to you.

[strong gulch]

This is on my second spyker.

[late sapphire]

I swear when the crafting update comes out the potential is gonna give it 61% mobility

[magic kayak]

Psykinetic aura is a must when I can take it

[late sapphire]

Yeah this is basically peak

[magic kayak]

yeah I need a new staff, but waiting until this patch to see if I can't fix it

[late sapphire]

I run kd over the ranged immunity on crit node

[magic kayak]

I feel like ranged immunity is slept on though

[strong gulch]

same

[late sapphire]

Don't need ranged immunity can always slide, do need melee immunity to res babies without clearing out all of the ragers

[magic kayak]

when Im chain blasting in the open and a gunner is eye effing me its real nice

[late sapphire]

blast the gunner duh

one lmb and he ducks

[magic kayak]

just depends on how far away he is, surge has great reach but not infinite

[strong gulch]

Feels like surge falls short of consistently having it up compared to purg or guns with SG. EE on those is great.

[late sapphire]

so true they should remove the range limit on surge

[magic kayak]

haha that would be amazing

hell lets take away the range on purg while we are at it

and add teleporting with the combat knife

[plucky flax]

2k enemies killed with surge build yesterday. I think most kills I've ever got in relation to game duration
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1287134198351794207/image.png?ex=66f070a2&is=66ef1f22&hm=01cd21fb8bd95e28a470d17a23c54b43e17d5535de15281b37bdab8d3e65b070&

[strong gulch]

Reapers doing this is funny.

[magic kayak]

ooooh thats the mod you were talking about?

[late sapphire]

man i cant believe though that they are giving surge surge and it sucks

Can you imagine giving the surge blessing to the surge staff and not making it actually work

[strong gulch]

I'm waiting for it tbh

[late sapphire]

Anyways, i gotta go to sleep

[magic kayak]

thats actually the greatest travesty. Surge blessing on surge staff would be ridiculous. What they should do it make it chain another 3 times off the last enemy hit on original 3 chain

[late sapphire]

You lot have fun

[magic kayak]

that way it doesn't do 2k dmg on first hit with a crit

later man

[late sapphire]

only if the chain can also jump to zealots

[magic kayak]

haha yes... yes....

[strong gulch]

Even on standard T5, surge can outpace a team.

[plucky flax]

Protect team by killing all shooters.

[strong gulch]

True tho. Surge handles shooters so well.

[mossy oyster]

T4 blazing spirit

Surge staff

make my lightning, light people on fire

[brazen rampart]

If only blazing spirit applied before the target died and wildfire didn't suck...

[magic kayak]

blazing spirit is on surge staff?

wildfire makes me sad. I still use it on purg staff though

[mossy oyster]

still want blazing spirit/surge on void staff

no kill like omega overkill with burning

[strong gulch]

not currently

[mossy oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/hiei-yu-yu-hakusho-vincent-evil-eye-black-power-gif-13609731

[magic kayak]

what melee are you pairing up the surge staff with

i was using caxe because of dd and it seemed to go well together

[strong gulch]

idk if update is going to give blazing spirit to surge staff. it would be funny tho

[magic kayak]

wait I lied, I don't use dd on that build

[plucky flax]

Illisi

[magic kayak]

hmm ok and KD talent then?

Illisi with deflector?

[plucky flax]

I use it personally yeah.

[mossy oyster]

from most people you'll see KD as a "staple" in their builds somewhere

its a pretty crazy talent

[plucky flax]

If you don't need kd and deflector then run another damage blessing

[mossy oyster]

KD lets you get off free revives basically

[plucky flax]

Wildfire doesn't suck it let's me kill 1k enemies with soulblaze alone

[magic kayak]

nice

[blissful solar]

wildfire is almost (or is?) OP if you also have a staff that can set things on fire

[brazen rampart]

Wildfire is literally bugged.

[magic kayak]

like purg or trauma

[plucky flax]

Stop wildfire hate.

[magic kayak]

stop haymaker hate?

[mossy oyster]

no

haymaker sucks lmao

[plucky flax]

I casted 1 creeping flames and things burn forever
https://youtu.be/KVUUzH_CZiY

Haymaker is decent on mk3 ogryn basher

For speeding up mixed horde clear.

[magic kayak]

Can haymaker work on blaze stacks?

stack it to 20% and hit venting shriek?

[plucky flax]

No has to be hit from your melee weapon I'm 99% sure.

[magic kayak]

Did that change at some time? Used to it would proc from bleed stacks also

so was wondering about blaze. Hmm I need to go test now dont I

[strong gulch]

vet's voc hard at work

[brazen warren]

cant wait for the update, more attack speed and more power attack damage...

[lilac summit]

nobody told me about this node

jfc

[magic kayak]

I use that a lot

[lilac summit]

its so fun with trauma

||YOU ARE NOTHING!||

[magic kayak]

I don't have blaze trauma blessing yet somehow so I wouldn't know

[lilac summit]

lemme tell you

this shit slaps

[magic kayak]

yeah I'm stuck using rend and warp flurry for now

[lilac summit]

im kinda glad they didnt give a crit chance increase to blazing spirit too

it would be way too op

[plucky flax]

I still use vampiric with blaze trauma.

Only burga use in fire reborn.

[lilac summit]

i cant hear you because im constantly shrieking

[plucky flax]

You're a better player than me.

[strong gulch]

Out bossed the zealot with surge staff.

Also purg user and I were stealing each other's sb stacks.

[foggy arrow]

Name suggestions please

[ashen schooner]

Old Barnabas

[foggy arrow]

Hell yeah

[thin finch]

no it ain't 😄

well aside if it's a blessing, cuz on purgatus it's almost useless

[magic kayak]

this seems usable if I dont get 2 more crap rolls

[restive ice]

even if you do, the crafting update is this week lol

[magic kayak]

I keep forgetting it'll unlock the items from this horrible rng prison

are we sure it'll unbrick old items?

[plucky flax]

It's strongest on burga tho

[blissful solar]

I'm mostly thinking trauma so yeah probably

[magic kayak]

is burga a burning blaze trauma staff?

[strong gulch]

purg staff

[plucky flax]

Burga is pretty tasty

[strong gulch]

fire only staff

[plucky flax]

[magic kayak]

so wildfire is or is not good on purg lol

[strong gulch]

It is good, especially if you are taking essence harvest and In Fire Reborn.

People misunderstand how wildfire works.

That being said, you can also take other things that you prefer.

[magic kayak]

It transfers up to 4 blaze stacks right? so if an enemy dies with 8 stacks, it gives enemies around it another 4?

[strong gulch]

No

[plucky flax]

It gives each enemy around it 1 stack.

But there will be many enemies.

So each dead burning corpse give 1 stack, the stuff spawning from a door for example instantly have 4 stacks on them.

[magic kayak]

so why does it say nearby enemies get up to 4 stacks

[plucky flax]

That's the cap of wildfire.

[magic kayak]

ah its capped at 4

[plucky flax]

It's an enabler

[strong gulch]

It can only transfer up to 4 and no more, and it transfers evenly.

[magic kayak]

and that doesn't add to purg cap

[plucky flax]

It boosts your soulblaze stacks application rate.

[magic kayak]

but it does spread how far purg goes since enemies outside purg range would get stacks

[strong gulch]

So if an enemy with 4 sb stacks dies and it's surrounded by 4 enemies, 1 sb stack will be spread to those 4 enemies.

Wildfire precooks enemies.

[magic kayak]

im going into testing to see how this works

[foggy arrow]

He is the loner personality

[thin finch]

No!
It's shit
It needs a buff !

[thin finch]

The famour Burgartus staff ,it cooks burger

[thin finch]

Except if those ennemy already have 4 stacks ,then nothing happens

And when you use purgatus ,you put 4 stack on kind of everyone already

[strong gulch]

yeah

[thin finch]

Yes but that keeps the idea that it can go over 4 stack on the receiving end when it cannot

[strong gulch]

While that is true. It does extend beyond the range of purg.

idk how "no more" keep the idea that is can go over 4, but I will try to be more explicit in my comments. Even though right next to it, its cap is mentioned.

[thin finch]

Cuz you said it transfert up to 4 but give no information on the receiving end.

If Pox B has 0 stack and pox A has 6 stack ,when pox A dies Pox B get 4 stacks

This is what your comment said.

But if pox B has 4 stack then he get nothing (while your comment keeps the idea that pox A transfer up to 4 stack ).

At least that's how I read it

And yeah it increase the range and GIRTH of your flame but not that much of a benifice I think

[lilac summit]

i really dont care what anyone says, if i run a soulblaze build, i will be taking wildifre no matter what

[strong gulch]

I can see how you read it that way. I beleive in readers making their own meanings of text.

[strong gulch]

I think that is actually part of the issue. You don't feel it. There isn't much feedback telling you "it's doing a good job".

Where it really does some work is stealing sb ownership though.

[thin finch]

I clearly see it more with me deimos blazing sword when I poke heretic and the lot start getting on fire

[strong gulch]

I want so badly for fire sword to actually be good. 😭

[thin finch]

I think it'q the only good cases because deimos have trouble clearing horde, so the wildfire helps.
On illisi you just cleave and you don't take Obscurus (poor baby )

[strong gulch]

It's too obscure.

Alright. I did a dad joke. That means go to bed.

[plucky flax]

[plucky flax]

[strong gulch]

Yes

[plucky flax]

Rare double grims team too.

[radiant frigate]

double grims?

i think i'm about to vomit

[plucky flax]

Hishock double grims is fun.

1 burster = instant ded.

I was so scared of the bursters that game.

[radiant frigate]

i love sitting on zero wounds because grims exist

[nocturne dust]

Just don't die, ez

[lilac summit]

imagine taking dmg lmao

[nocturne dust]

If you've ever taken damage in this game you're not a real player, smh my head

[radiant frigate]

yes very true

[plucky flax]

If I take damage I alt f4.

[lone wing]

pickup a grim
take 1 hp damage
leave immediatly

[potent echo]

shooter spawns are so real nowadays

[radiant frigate]

so whose idea was it to allow half the crusher pack to phase through you so you're now completely surrounded

i don't think it's good to have my heart rate and/or blood pressure spike like that

[potent echo]

slot system

[fair spruce]

** + + I T E M I Z A T I O N O N T H U R S D A Y + + **

[lilac summit]

pick up grim
equip grim
hold m1

[lone wing]

do not elaborate

[lilac summit]

i didnt think i needed to

[plucky flax]

700 kills

[granite mauve]

you died once i win

[plucky flax]

[coarse sequoia]

is assail psyker trash

[vestal fulcrum]

Why would it be?

[coarse sequoia]

bc i haven't played psyker in months and i also don't see people using it

ever

[vestal fulcrum]

Smite is easier to use

[coarse sequoia]

past malice

[vestal fulcrum]

Assail is pretty good, generally

Esp on loadouts with Disrupt Destiny keystone

Gunslinger Psykers typically don't use any other blitz, either

[coarse sequoia]

what type of weapons would you run with assail?

[vestal fulcrum]

... any? The blitz is flexible

I run Assail/Trauma/Combat blade as of late, for instance

[coarse sequoia]

i see, having that mobility sounds key

[vestal fulcrum]

It's a comfort pick, but generally having a weapon with some semblence of single target damage potential is good

[eternal junco]

it's seen less in lower levels

A lot of people with coordinated teams use smite because it's such powerful cc

And bb is nice for playing with randoms just to take out snipers and gunners

[lone wing]

columnus:

[tired oyster]

I got an idea for a build

https://tenor.com/view/xd-gif-24721812

I randomly thought of it when I saw brain burst this morning

[mental grail]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-40k-psyker-explode-perils-gif-10586129510772702813

[tawdry hemlock]

is riposte and precognition good on teh MKIV duelling sword?

[wind spruce]

Definitely

Riposte is the superior choice overall

[tawdry hemlock]

ok because in the guide here it says uncanny strike and shred

[wind spruce]

(The issue with precog is the garbage 2s duration)

[tired oyster]

I mean if you're constantly dashing around and dodging like a zealot, it is peak

[tired oyster]

Which guide?

[tawdry hemlock]

the psyker atheneum

[wind spruce]

Shred is better against monstrosities, but in most other situations you'll get more uptime out if riposte

[tired oyster]

Could prolly just switch out precog with shred to make up for some stuff

[wind spruce]

Riposte triggers a lot from you simple sliding around with your melee out

[tired oyster]

Send please

Nvm

I'm stupid

[wind spruce]

Riposte & uncanny is the most common and generally applicable combo

Some people prefer shred, that's fine

[tawdry hemlock]

maybe Im reading it wrong

[tired oyster]

Riposte is like A imo

[wind spruce]

Its simply incorrect. Riposte should be A tier with shred

[tawdry hemlock]

Hopefully when the new update hits this will be fixed

[wind spruce]

It's a great guide, but as with anything personally bias influences the decisions made, and pygex prefers shred

[craggy sigil]

What blitz/ability do yall like bringing on melee psyker

[wind spruce]

Assail

No questions asked

[tawdry hemlock]

so cleave damage is the dump stat?

[wind spruce]

It's possible to weapon swap to assail, shoot two shards and weapon swap back within 0.6s

This means you can weave assail in while you're in melee combat

[wind spruce]

Yep

[craggy sigil]

Assail makes sense cuz I got uncanny on my illisi so it can handle everything

Trying to decide ability as well thats more difficult.. scriers makes sense for damage

but shield is also just super nice

for the toughness regen and not having to bring deflector

[wind spruce]

It's a good idea to practice not running shield

[craggy sigil]

Tru but I also dont want to think too hard on positioning the entire time when playing melee

I never run it playing with staff

But melee its harder to position well for me

[wind spruce]

Shield and deflector cost you opportunities to learn how to use dodging and sliding to avoid attacks

[craggy sigil]

I'm not trash at dodge sliding but its more for situations like being pinned by ragers and crushers and having a gunner snipe you from accross the map

[wind spruce]

Yeah you gotta be ready to get out of dodge as a melee focused psyker

[craggy sigil]

No dodge sliding that

And force swords have trash mobility

[wind spruce]

Yeah I can't run anything but knoife or duelling sword on melee focused psyker

The acceleration duelling swords give you once the learn the move techs is just absurd

[craggy sigil]

I mean you can put the same logic for not running shield for not running knife

[craggy sigil]

I do l1 slides but theyre not thaaat quick

Its like a minor move speed boost

Perhaps im doing it wrong

Also with the stam regen of psyker + KD I dont run out of stamina anyway

[wind spruce]

There's not much quicker than it, and then you can go into the heavy slides

[craggy sigil]

Knife heavy + 1 spam is miles quicker

[wind spruce]

I don't slides for stam, I slide because shooters

[craggy sigil]

But thats actually the max movespeed I believe

[wind spruce]

Yeah can't beat knife

[craggy sigil]

Yeah I meant the move tech

[wind spruce]

It's not as safe though

[craggy sigil]

Not dodge sliding which is essential anyway

[wind spruce]

I'm almost always sliding if I'm moving forward

[craggy sigil]

Same I used to think they were tryhards

[wind spruce]

As a general rule

[craggy sigil]

Now I genuinely dont do anything but slide

Embarassing if u get ricocheted off of smth

Amount of times Ive slid into an object and bounced off the map is..

not nice

[wind spruce]

Haha happens all the time

[plucky flax]

Only deimos has good dodge out of the 3 force swords. Both illisi and obscurus have really low dodge.

[craggy sigil]

Deimos has better dodge? Didnt know. Might consider a deimos/shriek build

[plucky flax]

Yeah super long dodge.

[craggy sigil]

Ah +10% deimos vs -0.5% for illisi

Amazing

[plucky flax]

Mk2 DS meme

[vestal fulcrum]

I hate H2 on DS2

[radiant frigate]

deimos is a little weird for me

[vestal fulcrum]

good cleave, but awkward angle just makes it unusable

[radiant frigate]

i found that the horde clear is actually not terrible with it

but when i get an actual dense horde it suddenly will no longer cut it

[vestal fulcrum]

it has the same akwardly angled light attacks like the Taxe 4

[craggy sigil]

LMAO i just queued into 2 other melee deimos gun psykers

The one zealot left

[plucky flax]

Yeah wish it was horizontal or more horizontal anyway.

[radiant frigate]

imagine if deimos had illisi lights

would that be fucked up or what

[vestal fulcrum]

It would still have a bad special attack

[radiant frigate]

yes very true

[vestal fulcrum]

I only really care about Illisi L1/L2

L3/L4 are kind of trash

[wind spruce]

Do people still h1 l2 on illisi?

[plucky flax]

I don't.

Light spam + special light/heavy.

[upper sun]

illisi buffs when 😭

[plucky flax]

Soon at patch.

MM + 10% attack speed.

[upper sun]

nah

i want it to have better damage scalling on second/third targets

dclaw clears so much better

[radiant frigate]

illisi crusher damage when?

[upper sun]

imagine if dclaw had slaughter

[radiant frigate]

imagine if dclaw wasn't smelly and stupid

@fresh reef Another unhinged sibling. 🤝

[broken carbon]

what’s the point of EP?

does kinetic flayer proc EP?

[verbal thistle]

yes

and it doesnt consume a charge

[broken carbon]

oh that’s pawesome

i did not know that

[broken carbon]

i was gonna ask how DD would do for this

but you could probably never get stacks lmfao

[verbal thistle]

no way you can maintain stacks

lmao

dorn died to poxwalkers

[broken carbon]

warp charges might be decent

[broken carbon]

washed

[verbal thistle]

how would you maintain high stacks?

soul blaze is hard to apply

we do 30 dps

no shriek

[broken carbon]

well u wouldn’t take born in flames

the 4% on any kill

it’s mainly for the extra damage

[verbal thistle]

too difficult to gain alot of value from that

[broken carbon]

yeah fair

[verbal thistle]

since EP BB is our highest single target dps

[broken carbon]

and it’s so many points to invest

[broken carbon]

also true

[brazen warren]

I wonder how increasing the maximum total soulfire stack limit would affect its overall dps

make perilous and combustion increase the max stack count by 1 each

from 16 total to 18

if you took both

[broken carbon]

that would be a lot of max stacks

because damage increases exponentially

would probably get like, 350? damage per tick

maybe up to 400-450

[left basin]

when i psyke i go warp

[patent wing]

what is this :D

[verbal thistle]

a build

[patent wing]

for which loadout

[verbal thistle]

staff bash only

[patent wing]

kek

id prefer playing without talents at all before id try that

[verbal thistle]

no talents isnt that hard

[radiant frigate]

staff bash sometimes casting headsplosion seems good

[verbal thistle]

we're going the extra mile and doing bash only

[patent wing]

ok then we gonna pair that with grey weapons below 150 rating

[verbal thistle]

okay?

[patent wing]

i mean thats hard too but not as unfun as bash only i guess

how do you even fight rag ers

[restive ice]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-shoot-harrison-ford-nope-gif-11523430

[verbal thistle]

with bash?

easy

the 1st heavy has enough stagger

just gotta hit it like 20 times after to kill

[patent wing]

didnt know it has heavies lol

[radiant frigate]

just hold special

[hollow current]

smack them until kinetic flayer decides to proc

[radiant frigate]

so exactly how much does staff bash suck

is it as bad as revolver bash

is it worse

[hollow current]

honestly it wasn't too bad until bulwarks or crushers came.

[radiant frigate]

hate bulwarks

[verbal thistle]

real

[hollow current]

It was still a gruelling slog

[verbal thistle]

As the #1 hater of bulwarks, I agree

[radiant frigate]

ye olde massive fucking roadblock

rather, one-way roadblock

ragers can pass through just fine

[hollow current]

my earliest bulwark hating comment maybe. tho ive mentioned almost a year before that.

[patent wing]

fuk bulwarks, they are way too fast

[brazen rampart]

Most attacks can hit over their shield if you're the tallest ogryn possible and have specific weapons.

[jovial juniper]

Staff bashes have cleave lol

[brazen rampart]

Like the flipped shovel attacks, if you aim your camera up, can even 1shot them over their shield.

Kinda nuts.

[hollow current]

yeah i ve seen lots of ogryns do that. but I main psyker so I either wait for them to look at someone else or for them to open up and scramble their brains with duelling sword eyeball pokes

looks really fun tho. and i remember brutal momentum letting ogryns get multiple 1 hits on carapace

[upper sun]

delete shield bash

give bulwarks a stamina bar

I want shields to break after enough damage

The solution to infinite loading screens

[patent wing]

can some1 explain me how often purga can trigger evasion?

because i cant get it into my head how i can even get hit from ranged attacks while charged flame

it triggers so many attacks and with 20%+ crit i should be invulnerable

[fresh reef]

When it crits, it crits in chains due to being an automatic weapon

[radiant frigate]

interesting

[fresh reef]

This means that once you roll a crit, the next few 'attacks' in the string will also register as crits

This works inversely as well

[broken carbon]

i once had 4 bulwarks all do their bash repeatedly

was the worst thing ever

[fresh reef]

Best course of action would be getting True Aim to make it a lot more consistent

[fresh reef]

Brain Burst propaganda

[broken carbon]

i was playing zealot

[fresh reef]

I took Assail last night on a Scrier's build, saw two bulwarks in a horde and immediately just went like

[patent wing]

on purga?

[patent wing]

for how long

[radiant frigate]

very true

[fresh reef]

Flamer propaganda

[patent wing]

and does it reset the talents timer

[fresh reef]

2-3 ticks I think

I don't play purg that often

[patent wing]

hm

[broken carbon]

my flamer was empty and i didn’t have time to reload

[broken carbon]

idk then

i once got stuck in a hallway with a mutant and a bulwark

i quit the game right there

[broken carbon]

what no chain weapon does to a mfer

[upper sun]

you know the small hallway in vigil station after the drop?

there

[broken carbon]

is that the drop from the little bridge

with the elevators

for the skull

[latent mauve]

I should reinstall a bunch of mods

its this one

the small hallway to the left of this

taking a screenshot mid horde

but then u cant see whats happening

and ive unironically died a few times taking screenshots in auric lmao

Is it possible to make Warp Rupture not a meme pick?

[upper sun]

warp rupture?

[fresh reef]

Shriek's forbidden node

[restive ice]

max stagger to slam bulwarks against the wall

[broken carbon]

do u mean like, what you’d want to change?

personally i think it should be an increased cooldown, decreased range, but it brain bursts every target

or at least all elites

[upper sun]

thereee we go

idk what the fuck happened

[fresh reef]

No, I mean making it not meme with current build options

[broken carbon]

ah

[broken carbon]

not possible

[fresh reef]

Like if warp rider applies to it

[broken carbon]

200 damage is kind of useless

[broken carbon]

240 still is useless

[fresh reef]

I know that Kinetic Flayer can proc off it though, which is kinda funny

[broken carbon]

troo

[fresh reef]

Send that one unlucky poxxer to Hel

[upper sun]

i have high upload latency for some reason 🤔

[mossy oyster]

give kinetic flayer no CDR so I can make CiAG even more broken

[upper sun]

delete KF

replace it with a good talent

[cinder moon]

KF used to be better

[broken carbon]

give it 3 charges and can only proc on elites

[broken carbon]

how

[cinder moon]

back when you would get BB stacks from it proccing on anything

[upper sun]

what if

[broken carbon]

ohh

yeah

back when it was feats

[upper sun]

KF makes BB only target elites disablers and bosses????

[broken carbon]

yah that’s what i meant

ohh

u mean

brain burst

[upper sun]

yes

[broken carbon]

so it doesn’t get caught

ehh

[upper sun]

ye

[broken carbon]

sometimes i brain burst a shooter tbh

it’s funny

[upper sun]

well

Not anymore you wont

[broken carbon]

just make KF only proc on non chaff

[jovial juniper]

Chat, does clad know?

[late sapphire]

i think kf should just be 1 enhanced bb every x seconds

fuck the random trigger

[upper galleon]

instant cast BR on a CD yea

let people have control of it

[ornate hamlet]

I think KF should be some kind of magic BB cast you can use with the special action or RMB

One is underused and the other is straight up unused

[upper galleon]

idk, i think keeping it simple, ever X seconds your next BR casts instantly

also would help builds that don't go EP

[buoyant maple]

Brain burst has a “special action”?

[late sapphire]

no, the button is unused

[ornate hamlet]

Nope

[patent steeple]

I still feel like KF should be fully replaced with the "enemies hit by BB take more damage for a duration" talent from the OG psyker talent lineup (the one before skill trees)

[ornate hamlet]

That's also another option

[late sapphire]

that talent was removed for a good reason

[patent steeple]

if smite's Enfeeble was replaced with something else, and given to BR as a replacement for KF, that could essentially be all that is needed...

[upper galleon]

meh, that just makes BR weirder

it wasn't good back then and it wouldn't be better now,

would basically only be good personally for having EP charges stocked up, then double tapping a bulwark maybe?

[patent steeple]

KF is literally a wasted point anyways imo, because what are you really using BR for in a build that can even slightly use KF on big targets semi-reliably?

think about it, gun builds already use Assail (or even Smite, if the player doesn't wanna use Assail because BR gives access to talents that gun builds rarely have use for), and almost every other single-target build uses Smite for crowd control/horde clear...

[upper galleon]

i mean that is why i'm asking for it to be a free instant cast on a CD, encourages juggling and isn't reliant on taking BR and KR

your idea doesn't solve any of the issues

[late sapphire]

i think you should be able to charge 2 bbs of peril in the right click and then you make the guy explode instead of just die

idk if it would be balanced or good it would go hard as hell

[upper galleon]

it in fact makes it more niche cause increased damage to a target after a BR is only going to apply to bulwarks personally, and monstros but that is barely worth the point

[ornate hamlet]

also cool tbh

Double BB was always the fun part of KF

[upper galleon]

like looking at the good things of KF, it's no peril and it's instant, keep that idea and give players control of it

[orchid shadow]

Maybe take away the internal cooldown of KF and instead give it a chance to proc based on your peril level

[upper galleon]

might be an issue with the new scrier's extension

since you can sit at 100% for 10 seconds

[patent steeple]

well, here's another idea that more people agree with than the one I suggested previously: make KF not affect hordes, so it can actually do its (seemingly) intended job.

or at least, lessen the chances for it to hit a horde enemy, kinda like the Shield's "enemeis touching the shield have a chance to get stunned, and specials are guaranteed to get stunned" augment

[ornate hamlet]

I think the less RNG we have, the better

[upper galleon]

that doesn't solve the lack of skill expression/precision.

[ornate hamlet]

People already hate twinned blast because of it

[orchid shadow]

May be a bit simplified, but could be base 10% + Peril % divided by X. Maybe extend the skill branch another point tell let you get a higher pecentage. But the calculation could be tweaked to to make sure you don't hit stupid high chance

[upper galleon]

that just makes it more complex

[late sapphire]

just cap the amount if you make it proc a bunch

[buoyant maple]

Make it showstopper equivalent
% chance for a brain burst killed enemy to blow up and deal AoE damage

At least would be funny to take

[upper galleon]

like, if it's a free, instant BR cast instead of a proc, you can just swap on CD and control exactly when and where you want to use it

[late sapphire]

random chance mentioned, throwing myself off a cliff

[patent steeple]

I am starting to feel like the only idea you like in terms of KF is the one you suggested...

[upper galleon]

i actually don't mind that idea LOL at least it's fun and gives BR something it didn't previously have

[upper galleon]

#psyker-class message

I like to think about the design and balance implications of things and how it will work in the grander scheme

[late sapphire]

what if it was once per 120s brain burst a dog or mutie that got you

or something of the sort

gromril armor

[upper galleon]

not against the idea.

[patent steeple]

hmmm... so like, an anti-disabler passive on a long CD?

could be cool imo, but BR is kinda meant to be just delayed, big damage and occasional staggering of ogryns from my perspective, and idk if that would not make BR what its meant to be anymore or something...

[late sapphire]

could go on bb or on smite

or a neutral node as well

[orchid shadow]

Not a fan of that to be honest. It becomes one of those things where you could take it, then becomes a wasted point if you're good enough to kill dogs and mutants before they touch you.

[patent steeple]

I think a neutral node effect is better for that than a Blitz augment, actually...

maybe it could replace Unlucky For Some 🤣

[late sapphire]

Eh it depends, i think i would take it just because the utility value of nuking the dog that does get me every 3 games outweighs a random ass 10% this or that node

[patent steeple]

I guess all this balancing talk is just based on subjective viewpoints anyway, though...

[late sapphire]

As long as its roughly balanced fs can have it log some data and check

Theoretically you could even set up something like trueskill to automatically assign value to nodes

[ornate hamlet]

I wouldn't like to disable disablers

[orchid shadow]

True, but I stopped putting Deflector on my illisi for that same reason. After I took a look at how many times I actually blocked with it as I got better, I dropped it entirely. Like wound curios. I'd rather that node be used to enhance the skill, which is already in an odd place, since second to second use case is so different than Smite or Assail. May be take your idea, but not limit it to dogs or mutants. The next thing that could damage you gets the blasted.

[late sapphire]

illsi on deflector sucks yeah

wound curios too

Next hit of damage is good too, though

[trail solstice]

Any recommended talents for brain burst build? gonna be trying "Malleus Monstronum" penance at some point

[late sapphire]

I was just missing Ironbreaker bardins gromril curse talent

[late sapphire]

take the buffed bb on ability, double shield, enhanced psionics

Malleus monstronum is piss easy though, the main difficulty is getting into a private game

Just ask here or in your appropriate lfg channel someone will help you clear stuff and keep monstrosity attention while you stand there and left click

[trail solstice]

plan was to get more familiar with a BB build first before running it, haven't used it in a while after the related penances were done other than this one

[halcyon gust]

And wasn't it made even easier to needing only 50% of the damage being BR/BB now

[trail solstice]

from 90 to 50 yeah

[late sapphire]

yeah lol

[late sapphire]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c2bbe3a-0076-4c1d-903d-8133ff3cbdaf/brain-burst-go-brrrt

this is roughly what you're looking for

toss out kinetic flayer (it sucks big time) for perilous combustion

[half plover]

smite psyker feels so ass

[late sapphire]

warp expenditure is also kind of useless, you can trade it for a small 15 toughness node

[late sapphire]

are you using your venting shriek perilous combustion blaze trauma like a good smiker?

[half plover]

Idk im level 20 lmao

[halcyon gust]

That's probably it

You're still low level

[late sapphire]

Yeah that's definitely it lol

smiker comes together alright when you have the stuff to support it

[halcyon gust]

Smite is in the "CC support stage" at this level

[late sapphire]

Though it still sucks and smikers are usually kinda braindead, half of their brain having been replace with 'uhh smite it i guess'

[halcyon gust]

And "All my staffs suck" phase

[thorny snow]

is assail any good? i remember it being busted when the perk tree dropped, how is it now

[halcyon gust]

It's still good

[late sapphire]

good if you take proper talents

dd assail gunker works well

[halcyon gust]

Still a good enough horde clear in a pinch

And a alright elite/Specalist killer

[late sapphire]

If you're on low diff you can just run assail and left click and the game plays itself

[thorny snow]

rn i running ds, voidsrike, smite and bubble shield

[late sapphire]

assail works well with voidstrike n ds

disrupt destiny buffs voidstrike 100%

you can use assail to stack True Aim to get a guaranteed crit ball

and assail supplements ds shitty crowd clear

[halcyon gust]

Though it is very finnicky if you can maintain the DD buffs consistently enough

[late sapphire]

idk which ability to use with voidstrike assail dd

shriek i guess

[halcyon gust]

Shriek is the tried and true

[late sapphire]

its just always good

shield is okish too though

[halcyon gust]

Gives you a get out of jail card if you overload, A good horde clear, saves the idiot zealo that got dogged

[thorny snow]

I got surge and rending shockwave on my voidstike at level 4, should i swap out surge for warp flurry?

[late sapphire]

voidstrike rending lol

go surge nexus

[halcyon gust]

If you're doing Right side (Aka DD) Voidstrike. Surge/Flurry

[late sapphire]

nah surge flurry kinda sucks

[halcyon gust]

Heard it pairs will well DD builds

I tend to use Warp Siphon more with my VS

[late sapphire]

it'll work well if you're giga cracked and hit true aim crits every voidstrike ball & therefore dont need nexus

You kinda need shriek to get proper use out of flurry though imo

[thorny snow]

nvm it level 4 warp nexus and surge on my void strike

[halcyon gust]

Replace Surge for Flurry

Perks can be any sort of combination of Carapace, Maniac, Flak, +Crit chance, Unyielding. Voidstrike just does well into just about anything

[late sapphire]

consider battle meditation or shriek if you go nexus flurry

[thorny snow]

so do i get presience then if im going for an assail build? also will it work in auric damnation?

[late sapphire]

assail voidstrike works in auric maelstrom let alone damnation

[halcyon gust]

Indeed

Though switching a lot may cause some crucial switch inputs be eaten into the void

[late sapphire]

You generally take prescience because Mind in Motion is a wasted point

[halcyon gust]

Sliding will negate the slowdown of quelling anyways

[late sapphire]

If you wanna go shriek though you need to take mim which is sad

[halcyon gust]

And you're only really quelling 1-2 ticks of peril anyways

[late sapphire]

I have seen scriers gaze voidstrike but it seems kinda insane to me

[thorny snow]

how do you even have thee peril to shoot?

[late sapphire]

Kill enough stuff

Anyways, true aim & dd are the main point for assail voidstrike

True Aim seems merely ok but 'weakspot hits' can occur several times per voidstrike ball

If you run with Surge and throw a charged ball into a horde, it'll hit 5 heads, next shot is 2 balls, hits 5 heads, repeat

Even better is that lmb assail can stack true aim but not consume it so you can always toss a shard or two, swap, charge, crit double ball

[thorny snow]

is flames or damage vent better?

[late sapphire]

flame shriek 100%

6 stacks of soulblaze do about 500 damage, enough to clear trash mobs on damnation

[thorny snow]

thanks for the help

[late sapphire]

No worries

[brazen rampart]

Lmb assail does eat true aim.

[late sapphire]

It does? What a shame...

[mossy oyster]

too bad it auto stacks it just as fast as it uses it

[late sapphire]

I guess i've just never let it

[wind spruce]

It really doesn't

Assail provides a large % of the true aim engine

[wind spruce]

Faster than it uses it*

true

I throw it and immediately 4 stacks back

lmfao

[wind spruce]

Yeah exactly, there's so many times I've been at 3 or 4 stacks of true aim and flicking two shards out during a slide to reposition/engage or between void shots gets me the surge procs I needed to start the chain of death rolling

[mossy oyster]

also my new favorite thing recently

is to throw assail shards like 3-4

then hot swap to assail and RMB on an annoying ass gunner

watching them completely 90 degree turn to all beam a mf is satisfying

[wind spruce]

I wonder if that's the regular target tracking or if the lock on also effects shards in the air

Dear Assail psykers

you might be ''i cast knife'' cool

But you are never going to be ''I cast 380mm shell'' or ''I cast Sea Mine'' cool

[upper sun]

soon

librarian update SOON

[hot epoch]

???

Librarian?

[upper sun]

ye

space marine combat psykers

very STRONK

[hot epoch]

Thats... not dark tide...

[blissful solar]

will they actually add librarians to sm2

maybe as some sort of DLC if we pray hard enough

[brazen rampart]

I dont see how they'd even pull it off.

The system doesn't feel flexible enough to have warp powers.

Unless they pull a darktide and make the librarian unable to use grenades and have the grenades be the warp powers.

[blissful solar]

it'd be a pretty unique and therefore expensive class to make

[mossy oyster]

from my personal experience

of LMB'ing in the general direction with assail

they go where im looking obv like we know, but the second I press RMB they re direct really fucking good

so RMB does affect currently active shards in the air (from personal experience)

[vestal fulcrum]

I've removed the vast majority of my Psyker's melee weapons before the update, which I had been collecting for a year, while also skipping any oranges should there be some purpose in them post-update.

+1M ordo dockets

easily like 500 below-average/expectations items were binned

[ashen schooner]

why now and not after when you can turn them in for upgrade stuff? already got max blessings?

[vestal fulcrum]

I’m missing like 20 blessings from all ~1214 that are available

I’m really in no worry

Also the majority of things I’ve removed were blue rarity or below

And that’s just one character - my Ogryn has a lot of potentially bad items stored in both melee and ranged categories

[west stream]

been away for a while, is laspistol psyker still viable and fun?

[wind spruce]

Awesome, makes sense tbh

[brazen rampart]

@fresh reef will tell you all about it...

[mossy oyster]

it is very awesome

I love throwing 4 into a horde (buffed by true aim) and then RMB'ing a gunner off to the side

https://tenor.com/view/vergil-devil-may-cry-5-summmoned-swords-gif-17597682302001091668

and they're very quick you can hot swap to assail, RMB and it'll immediately start homing towards that vicinity

🤌

[fresh reef]

Very much so

Especially so with Scrier and DD

[mossy oyster]

(just dont gamble 20K plasteel for infernus 4)

thats not fun

[west stream]

let me check what weapons I did have

[mossy oyster]

rude

[fresh reef]

I will become unpoor

Just gotta play more Martyr zealot so I physically cannot lose runs

[mossy oyster]

not when you get on warframe

stinky

[half plover]

Psyker is the last class I have to play for 4 leaf clover penance

like 3 out of the 5 games I played today, I had to clutch because my teammates kept dying

and two of them I failed but lasted longer than I expected lmao

[hot epoch]

@blissful solar @mossy oyster
On that Space Marine 2 thing, the last dev q&a video talked about; Librarians, Chaplains, Apothecary's and Techmarines. They arent off the table but theyre looking into it
Together with other weapons, new enemies, possible enemy factions (but not for a long time) etc

[latent mauve]

hello baby

[near drift]

It's been a while since I've used DD/assail/voidstrike and I forgot how strong they can be together, most enemies just kinda delete once you're revved up

[late sapphire]

i'm going to gut brunt i swear

[wind spruce]

Yeah it's pretty disgusting hey
