You can play auric maelstrom melee scab only too and carry some unsanctioned guy.
It'll make you 30 in real life too though, so be careful
btw what's the peril % you should venting shriek at with with creeping flames?
is this a meme or?
83.33, but do 85 to be safe
what is?

What build do you run for dueling sword zealot?
whats the meta gunpsyker build rn
I don't need exact points just a general thingy
marty thrust precog or relentless uncanny
I prefer piety over momentum.
piety is prolly better tbh
wowowowow
Thats my purg build if you want another
Pick duellist, have precog on your sword and that's about it. I like peity for chastise spamming.
Extra attack speed.

You have souldrinker but not the 5% crit chance node. 



Is the chainaxe ultimately just in the same situation as the chain sword on psyker? A rev it up and blood letter mule?
agent might wanna look over it
no room for it and nexus does crit =]
try thrust precog too for ds4 blessings
u think its ok?
thats the build I did this with, nothing crazy but was on auric damnation
do you guys think theyll make it so the rmb surge/electro staff is effected by the surge blessing at some point? i was kinda hoping for that originally before they made it good at killing things
I was referring to CZero.
I am not a fan of thrust so no comment from me.
same. I like uncanny and shred for dsiv
ye i put uncanny relentless
the build synergizes with crits so shred is nice
Fair 
but its 2s only and you have to melee a bunch, dsiv isn't a horde clear weapon purgatus is so I feel like you should keep dsiv for single target armored dmg
relentless lets u m1 crushers to death with uncanny tho
No, Surge is obsurdly strong with ER, Surge working on RMB would push it over teh edge.
This is the same shit I'm running on my psyker, great minds think alike
thats pretty funny
haha nice
if you use heavy attack on dsiv its like 2-3 hits on them
I did drop souldrinker for %5 small node, and went with kinetic deflection to solo demonhosts instead tho
but the meme factor
souldrinker hp regen was nice but I was already really damn good at regenning toughness
so didn't hurt me much in the end
I have no faith that surge blessing will ever work on RMB. It's been the same for trauma this whole time.
yeah KD is a great blessing for sure
you also get the %7.5 toughness on warp kills, which feels roughly the same toughness gain
wanted to give myself better burst toughness generation, along with giving my team toughness regen as well
still based?
what weapon is that for?
I did quietude for toughness gain on my creeping flames but considered swapping for soulstealer
I think you should also put %4 cdr on curios to cycle your ability faster
it will feel much better compared to the situational sniper resist
I felt like the ability is up so much already it wasn't really worth it
DS4/fire shotgun
my curios normally have revive speed for maelstrom instead of sniper though to be honest
it's roughly 2 seconds cut from the ability, taking it from 15 to 13
at max siphon
Quietitude for Souldrinker maybe?
that doesn't sound too good but over the course of the game it's pretty valid
yeah you can do either, I have souldrinker which is 5% on soulblaze kill
but I did just swap it
How long was this game?
in a 25 minute map that's an extra 15 uses 
Ye that's decent.
yep, I always run cdr perks on psyker
as ability cycling is what makes psyker a powerhouse
I don't disagree, but having 15% more hp is pretty legit
Brunt held out on the goods again. 
dont think im lacking damage here so felt like making sure I'm alive to do damage was more important
I tend to run %5 toughness %4 cdr and %20 gunner resist
you can swap the toughness for hp no problem
I do hate gunners
2 toughness curios 1 stam if I am not running kinetic deflection
3 toughness if I am running kd
but I feel like I can venting shriek gunners or get in range for purg, whereas snipers are just hopefully bb
but think about how much value you'll get over the course of a game
you'll take like 500 rounds fro gunners commpared to one sniper shot
Pick EE and you can run up to shooters easier.
lol yeah but I can disable gunners easier theyre usually more in range
I'm not going to lie to you, I haven't been shot by a sniper in the past 50 runs or something
but gunner fire is constant
EE is something I use on almost every build I can on psyker, but mostly was just trying out the souldrinker on this one
and they spawn in packs
Every build? I only run it on assail or burga.
The other weapons just don't have fast enough firerate.
every build where it makes sense
Because he kept dumping damage and finesse like a butt face.
yeah but sometimes that one second just gives you enough time to slide dodge or not get suppressed etc. I find it a pretty strong 1 point investment
I feel like I really use seer's present on most of my builds so EE is always right there beckoning me lol
Also think about it like this Czero, you use 3 points to get to Souldrinker for %5 Toughness on Warp kills and %5 crit chance for 5 seconds (conditional crit chance)
Instead for only two points you can get %7.5 on warp kills and unconditional crit chance. you can use the extra point to do whatever you want
yeah it was basically just an excuse to get souldrinker since it was a new node
Yep, I did the same build you did and I was like: this is not worth the point investment
5% tdr also isn't terrible but I actually don't block as much as I dodge so KD I just don't use often
the 7.5% on warp kills you can get either way so its not really part of it
I mean, you can take literally whatever you want instead. If I was you tho, I’d go with the faster brain burts
yeah I do love kinetic resonance
You said you had issues with sniper range and this build lacks boss dps
You have a really fast cycling ult
Go for resonance
Ofc it is not but I was talking about the build path you took
You’ll feel a big difference if you swap out your sniper resist for gunner ones
I changed to soulstealer when you first pointed it out, I actually didn't realize I still had that lol
ended up taking 5% crit chance, EE, and KR
Should feel much better
If you feel like you are lacking toughness gain take %7.5 toughness on warp kills
no more 10% atk speed, will be down to thammer speed now
Drop a minor node for it
I am noob I run sniper resist too.
I have the soulstealer
Goddamnit lmao
I run sniper resist simply because of all things that can eff you up this is a high level threat
I don't run any gunner resist. 
when you have 5 snipers and they change target last second it can end you
Just recommending, in the end its your build and whatever you want goes in it 
same. I run sniper resist because I saw some agent chaos guy on yt run it 
I run sniper resist because I can never tell which end of the laser has the sniper.
... also sometimes I just stare into the red light. 
Lmao I’m so sorry
That's not me I am unsanctioned.
Very noob no watching that guy
you might be in game but your yt channel is agentchaos lol

I religiously run gunner resistance on every single class, and I’m going to keep running them as long as they keep ignoring everything that procs on succesful dodges
Fucking gunners are %80 the reason your toughness gets chipped
Mfs tend to stay out of range, so I use surge staff primary to nuke them instead
they do suck though especially when I'm a zealot
I will use enshrouded just to bum rush them
I can only play zealot with knife lacerate uncanny atm. 
Every single person I told to run max gunner resist never went back, join us my brothers
why not the caxe?
Idk just don't like playing zealot anymore.
But lacerate is a shit blessing 😦
I only like playing psyker.
Where is my weekly lacerate uncanny fight
same. I play zealot for a few matches and its ok, then back to psyker
Kinda itching
Hey man I am built different.
I do fleshtearer uncanny
I like to body shot. 
hope they make a shank weapon for you for body shots count as weakspot hits
They ridiculed me for running lacerate uncanny for so long
People are finally seeing the light
I used to do lacerate mercy but only because I had terrible RNG and couldnt get more blessings lol
I don't dare go to zealot channel and talk about lacerate.
not sure I understand how lacerate is that good, I don't think its bad though, are you using against hordes?
Idc it feels good to me and stuff die in 1 crit anyway. Also lacerate let me horde clear with knife so much faster than riposte or precognition.
yeah that was my thought also
Controllable bleed stacks amped by zealot’s bs kit allowing you to have %50 crit chance on top of amped the fuck out bleeds
Without actually running any crit
oh on zealot yeah, thought you were talking about on psyker
Oh on psyker run flesh tearer
bleed crit combo on zealot is great
Ye this was for zealot
plus cdr? sign me up... ok yeah now that makes sense
Yep.
I was doing a thammer build earlier. monstrosity damage is silly as hell but never liked thammer anywhere else
Also I tell people I actively bodyshot and they dismissed me. 
Zealot chat is pretty close minded
I mean... they are Zealots...
People also tend to not know anoint increases bleed damage as well
My favorite melee right now is heavy sword on psyker though
The only thing I head shot with knife zealot are mauler crushers and monsters.
You should always start by doing one quick light chest stab or two
So your crit stays high af
The good thing about bleed is even if you disengage and focus on something else the target you engaged previously is dying to hyperbleed
If I could teach newer players anything, it would be to understand how to stay on the outside of oncoming hordes instead of getting surrounded
is that like a heavy flow?

Still sad about momentum nerf 
lets say you did 3 lightning quick light stabs to the chest on a mauler
if you didnt crit its bleeding with 12 stacks
if you critted once, 14
if you critted twice, 16
you should always have uncanny up
when you disengage, that mauler is going to die
it was a period joke
I'm a regarded male that didn't understand, thank you
jokes arent allowed in psyker chat thank u
I have learned the proper way to use fire shotgun is to simply keep shooting it until you can't shoot it
then melee
yknow I noticed I never played a game with you or clad before, wanna join me on a game
lmfao
How much ammo do you take? 
oh sorry that was a joke about menstruation
not like an actual question lol
I noticed, thank you
if my team is in the yellow, none, ever
I intentionally backline right before ammo spawns just so they get to them first
Based considerate gun psyker like me
but I'd be lying if I said I didn't take the ammo satchel that our orange veteran left behind
I'm a gun psyker that doesn't use a gun
I only hoover ammo when I play vet but that is my right
just my caxe
15 seconds after pinging it and a 'out of coherency' voiceline warrants me to take it
I then saw an "I need ammo!" in chat during the next horde
died
and a quick draw revolver so I can go clint eastwood on crushers for memery
a lot of people are very angry about letting other people play the way they want
COD players that jump into darktide lol
Try bolt pistol is a side grade to revolver but much cooler
the bolt pistol is freaking nice, been watching people use it
haven't leveled mine up yet
got the fucking food truck weapon skins lol
Anyone have micro stutter?
YES
on zealot I tried out your caxe enshrouded martydom build, its pretty sweet
AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT
Yeah it's unchanged. It's so strong
it actually is for sure
Just smash left click on axe and everything die
exactly, and throw knives into enemies faces as needed
I think it's wound?
Ahh
I haven't used crystalline will yet
I think because crystalline will says you still take the damage its not really corruption
how much dmg does perils of the warp even do?
knocks off the nearest wound as usual
i think its like 500 max
its not much
itll only kill chaff
it can be ammped with uncanny
swag?

🤔 can it be ammped with executor
i think executor would fade
before the explosion animation finishes
oh
wait
no
its 2 late now i need to do some stuff tomorrow
do we play or nah I'm itching to kill heretics
i said
twice
that
i would play
stinky
invite me
fs code is in nickanme
name
you said you needed a cuople of minutes goddamnit
yes and
i said
in zealot chat
i was getting water
and then we play
and you IGNORED IT
siigh,,,
🥀
BRO HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU'D BE READY FOR GAMING AFTER
and then i responded here and said swag
because i said "and then we game"
you
stinker
Psyker is psychic 
ok maybe I ignored that part
LMFAO

bro does not have access to the morphogenetic field
I used every wound. 
sorry siblings
the zealot idiots leaked over here for a second
and KILLED chat
🙄
Damn
I was about to clutch using the sprint dodge mechanic
But a single stalker managed to get an angle on me
A single shot took me out of sprint

Bro spawned from thin air
Or was it stalking me

biblings
what build do you use for scrierstrike
i am interested because i fluctuate from voidstrike and melee and MELEE and voidstrike. can't yet figure out whether i want bonk talents for primary attacks on staff or fire farts on elite/special kills
Nothing crazy, this is just a near perfect example of a sniper wave
2manylazurs
Also, is this worth it out of melk?
So purg staff is really fun from what I've been seeing on here?
I'm likely not the first one to mention this so sorry for bringing it up again but is anyone else still blowing up with the Surge Staff despite having Warp Unbound with Scrier's Gaze?
I think that's been a bug. I haven't seen a patch for it yet. Unless I missed it
voidstrike staff dump?
blast radius
im still confused with name changes xd
Would purge and scriers gaze work well together? If it wasn't bugged?
Warp Unbound doesn't work with purg
But purg doesn't produce a lot of perils so sg purg works
Like it's not supposed to at all?
It should work, it doesn't work at all
Issue though is that purg can't benefit from the finesse bonus of sg so it's a slight waste
The crit chance and damage work, though
It's a bug. Surge staff rmb and all of purg's attack still explode you dispite warp unbound being up.
It does work with other things, but sometimes you just explode anyways.
I might try a purge build here soon. Or blazing trauma
actually loading into an auric mission and having someone leave because they cant play without mods
hurts my soul
not 1 mission, you cant do the one mission? without them?
then everyone else dips
😦
Some of them are accessibility tbf.
I think if i was deaf, be it partially or fully, i wouldn't play without the spidey senses mod
spider sense mod is required for me to play just because I can't always have sound up as much
starting to realize how many ppl bank on spidey sense
I can't believe there is an option to turn off the backstab noise
Then don't get into it? Like I have issues with my hands and some other things, I wouldn't play without the full auto mod.
Accessibility aside, everyone dipping does sound annoying.
the only visual mod i really use in game is healthbars. But i could even give and take on that
I did a double take at the end of this Auric. I wonder what's going through their minds when they kept rushing into packs and dying. O.o
i use the buff HUD improvemnt but now i dont think anything can work for warp siphon
shit just hides when it wants to
well designed game
to be fair there are a lot of talents that should show and arent on the buff bar
but then some that NEED to be visible and like to hide
and there IS enough space for all if not most left on base game
either that or a wider visual indicator added
on the bottom where the sit
we bodied the hell out of bungie for this
and they tried
still failed because we had 60% more space they could fit buffs but didn't
why make all this and not have space for it lmao
look at PoE, we have a million buffs, and we got space for it
bungie has been on something for a while now lmao
facts
Bungie was relevent with destiny 1
still having to geuss if i have 2 stacks or 6 is kinda affecting my gameplay loop now
they lost me after halo lol
the buff bar thing started to be an issue when they added coherency auras
Is pillars of eternity actually good?
Never played it.
Path of Exile bud
I don't think pillars of eternity is big enough to have an acronym

Great game though
We ain't here to fuck spiders... trens though
YES! but i was talking about Path of Exile XD
it does lmao
ppl usually say Pillars tho unless you are specifically in a conv about crpgs
Nah, I feel like even if I was chatting in a Pillars discord, people would assume PoE is path of exile

I got 1500 datamantine out of nowhere. It's like Christmas
It's from the event.
Yeah, I just wasnt paying attention to the progress
anyone have a handy voidstrike dd sg tree i can copy
I have one you can use
Gimme a sec
Im experimenting with a couple different skills so you might need to make a few changes to it
much appreciated!
So with my extra datamantine I got to level a dueling sword. I know uncanny is one blessing, what should my other be?
thrust or the other one that gives damage on repeated hits
me thinks
i just like thrust cause it stacks kinda fast
I was thinking thrust or rampage
Rampage might actually be fine with warp splitter and SG/DD
But I would lean in more into single target
relentless strike + uncanny strikes/ thrust + uncanny strikes would be what i reccomend
relentless strikes is kinda worthless on DS outside of bossing
i dont use it for wave clear
duelling sword is for bosses/crushers elite killing
Thrust is good for ragers
its not an add clear weapon
thrust sucks because with ds4 you can heavy attack twice in the time it takes you to stack 3 thrust stacks
And just use assail and my staff for hordes? Mainly?
Yes
2 heavies with thrust can kill crushers, dont need to go for full stacks
It's a fast and agile weapon, not one for big blows
I would say thrust isn't for stationary targets but for initiating fights or after a dodge backwards
He sounds just like you
He’s older
Too
I’m scared
I'll try thrust and risposte and see which fits my style better
it has the hieghest heavy damage out of all the weapons for psyker tho no?
330
- carapace bonus
It's peak damage but thrust only really works on slow weapons or with charge
Nuh uh
Yuh uh
it's a dps loss, it stinks
For ragers just use the special
You can special attack out of block
But check it out, my first 500 weapon
Crowd clear wise, 10 assail shards at 100 peril will kill 40 chaff mobs
If there's more than than, voidstrike balls will plow huge lanes through the crowd
Am I supposed to be fully charging my staff when using it? I do when I have time, but not always
idk imma just say if you are taking duelling sword for anything but specials/elites and bosses
its kind of a waste
Depends what you're throwing it at
you staves take care of adds already
th only time you'd probably need duelling sword for adds is with a gun, and then you have better weapons for that
Yeah I know it's not bosses and such. I've been looking forward to using it
You'll get a feel for when you need to throw large and small balls
@mossy oyster
So for perks I'm guessing carapace and unyielding
On ds maniac is a must
idk about that
Voidstrike no to unyielding
Other perk can be flak or unyielding though
It's unyielding damage isn't it, you would be meleeing bosses and bulwarks
carapace on ds is kind of a waste if you have it on staff
voidstrike with sg up is a better choice for crusher and mauler groups
I have flak and carapace on my voidstrike. So I'll do maniac and unyielding on my ds
picking up warp splitter
Flak on voidstrike is kind of overkill too
You already oneshot any flak things
mauler
yeah i wouldnt bother with unyielding
I aim for the head like a crazy person
But the cleave...
You do oneshot flak enemies on a fully charged headshot but imo the flak helps in all other cases
I'm on controller, it's kinda difficult to aim the staff for the head. I manage tho
I'm rather fixated on the dreg gunners one shot breakpoint lol so I usually go 10% elite
I would claim it even helps assail as long as you swap back while the shards are flying
if you want warp splitting id drop souldrinker (personally) and warp splitting is gonna buff assail you'll have to deal with it
Just lmb after the rmb idk
elite% is ok too though, i guess
Won't fight you on that
well, don't wanna
got this instead
now I can shoot more with the crit buff
if you get at using the special attack with uncanny it makes killing packs fast
i think just the 1 stack from uncanny puts you in range to 2 shot elites
Do y'all drop the difficulty when leveling a new weapon?
yup
Never
nope kjust do damnation
or actually scratch that
Always maelstrom
has been a bad experience maybe just do heresy lmao
I can't even do a damnation normally yet lol
I do well on heresy, but for some reason I do awful at damnation.
I'm trying to get the mk 4 as quickly as I can. I have a mk 2 DS right now.
MK2 performs well enough
Yeah I heard it's good too
Remember that the stabbing heavy is much stronger than the chopping one
yeah idk i like thrust
just requires accuracy
even missed the head shot on the 1st heavy in both still killing it in 2 heavies
almost certain 2 heavies at 2 stacks can kill if you start with a special
Does assail get your perks when you switch to a weapon?
no
is duelist sword still good on psyker?
yes
Genuinely no idea
yes
pretty sure duellist sword good on everyone
how's it compare to blaze swords?
two diff class of weapon
poke poke special attacks and charged melee
i would say you can slash but imma assume thats in emergencies cause the slashes kinda suck
maybe not so much with warp splitting
cause that with rampage i kinda liked
The light attacks do well enough if you are using it as a primary
If it's a sidearm, you more or less only use heavies
Illsi is very swipey, good at horde clear, terrible at carapace - the dueling sword (mk4) is the exact opposite, terrible horde clear, good single target damage, good vs carapace
almost wish illisi was just a nice sidegrade to the power sword
mk2 and mk5 have slightly better horde clear on the lights and heavies, but the heavies are much worse for single target and armor damage, basically a waste of potential
should have just given it a charged attack poke hehe
I just took a look at the updated psyker tree
all I see is
primary staff builds
stocks rose up
Empyric Shock fawks
ikr
also is there a blaze trauma updated talent tree
on the essential perks needed
I totally forgot
they changed the name to voidblast and I was confused for a bit
I don’t even touch it
I mean I only use it on monstrosities
but its a lotta damage
I guess I dont need to
Yeah dueling sword fucks, and it's helping me get better with my staff
yeah aim trainer by proxy
lmao
Especially on controller. I'm getting better with it, I just wish I could switch the sights
Does anyone know if FullAuto is the same speed as using quell to cancel primary fire?
@mossy oyster it's so fucking kino
it does not, and anything that does that is not allowed under rules
Wait is mk4 the default for the DS?
It's not. Quell cancel is much faster.
I'm an idiot lol, I was using the mk 2 until I unlocked the 4
wtf I dont need to embarrass myself now
@winged ravine gg <3
This is so real. When I accidentally blow myself up I get so embarrassed
happened because you overloaded before warp unleashed could proc, not a skill issue though, just fatshark coding
wtf
its a fun talent in auric, you can overload on purpose to make space for revives
warp unbound moment
so I just frame perfect killed myself?
also warp unbound is inconsistent, so it’ll happen sometimes anyway lol
that's fucking hilarious
only have assail for warp attacks, so I should be fine
not frame perfect, but i’m assuming if you throw an assail at 98, 99, or 100% peril, but before SG ends, activating warp unleashed, it will overload you and kill you
I'm gonna drop TTS just to grab Crystalline
probably worth since I think the shotgun can only proc Mettle and TTS once per trigger pull
crystalline will should make it so overloading can’t kill yoy but will leave you at one health
and at 1 health, ur overload does a lot more damage
incorrect
'should'
no it doesnt leave you at 1
in moves your corruption to the next wound, it does nothing to your hp
prescriptively
read
it takes a 1 health chunk
Cmon fellas reading comprehension
Reading is hard,
I SAID “crystalline will should
oh I see now
as in
sorry
Idk why it's apparently so hard to code properly
“‘crystalline will’ should”
listen I'm high, I have an excuse
kuro has none
i mean half of us dont we always kist respond to shit
make it castable during the explosion like Shriek
including what i type lmao
instead of doing some outward thing, you like do a breathing technique to not explode
huh
What I run. Caveat: This build is not complete F spamming and is meant for pure carry in pubs
Anyone here got a void staff build I could use? I cant seem to wrap my head around it
is stamina regen good?
void what staff
the one that shoots balls
no stamina regen is bad on psyker because we already have insane regen
I run 2 stam regens
won't it just be more insane?
I want my 2 bars of stamina up at all times
illisi and duelling swor dhvae fast as fuck regen already
and there is kinetic deflection
what's wrong with a little overkill?
nothing
I literally run 2 stamina regens so I always have stamina to shove
as a gunker
even with 2 bars of it
lmfao
valid point tho
I never want to run around with scriers it ends and I dont have stamina to shove a dog
depending on what you use you probably wont need to bash attack i'd say
with a gun i can see needing to
with kinetic deflection your stamina is basically only for bashing and running
or mostly*
I love turning a corner into 3 maulers and a bruiser in a hallway where I cant really dodge out of the way.
posting her face again because I just vibe with it so much
true
She might need to see an eye dr
I should put on hair for the hood
they put poison into your mutton
Or she just came from the eye Dr after getting her pupils dilated
backwards!
The swarm came in behind me.
less bald now
The swarm consumes all 😔
It wasn't there when I started down the hallway lol. They just appeared
been seeing enemies spawning in on ppl
which is funny
was doing the prison cell puzzle and a gunner spawned in doing the kick animation on a dude
That funny, but also rude af. What a gunner.
many thanks. looks like a high risk high reward kinda build
cant wait to try it out
Just grab mostly crit talents and make sure your staff has the surge blessing
You likely won't actually get to keystone talents
.>
You can get all the crit talents and still have access to mid and right key stones no?
not unless you want the gun psyker one
or am i bugging?
literally all the crit talents are on the upper right half
so yeah you mos def can get middle
even some of the left
There's the one near the bottom that guarantees crits on 5 headshots
It used to be high risk, but with the new warp unbound talents you (generally) don't explode
yeah, you can hit the left side even
buuuuuut you miss out on a lot of the good upper talents that regen toughness
missing soul drinker but yeah there arent too many crit nodes where it hampers you too much
Yeah I suppose your advice would be to keep an eye on the buff after scriers gaze finished the build up to 100%
Soul drinker only helps with burn staff
No
unless you want to run a fire sword
It’s good on trauma and surge
this
With warp splitting and warp rider, you are as powerful in those 10 seconds as during sg (or even more powerful)
wait, you can put burn on the surge?
If you are on pc i would advise you to grab Better Buff Management and Custom HUD mods and stick the buff, as well as the true aim buff, in the middle of your screen
yes you just need wild fire and or perilous combustion
Killing elites (I forgot the node) and creeping flames
or even without those you can use venting shriek with creeping flame
Not sure I entirely like how that build sounds
I thought meta is just empowered smite
surge venting shriek perilous combustion warp siphon is the canonical surge focus build
i even made a tree then looked up surge builds and they aren't dissimilar
venting shriek on surge staff is just free
Yeah I see the damage output in psykanium. How's the boss damage though?
ON the surge or voidstrike?
Assail stinks, voidstrike is ok but only if you hit all heads
Dueling sword with sg and dd shreds bosses but is risky
Assail isn't """bad"""
hmm i supposed on the whole build?
it's just not "great"
like right now you have surge staff builds with either lmb or rmb, but both use shriek
ah so voidstrike on boss weak spots as usual
so the surge build now is dipping into soulbalze and venting?
does it hit any keystones?
Assail boss damage stinks
has been, even before i started playing spyker i was seeing similar things in auric
I played auric almost exclusively
voidstrike if bad at boss fighting, dueling sword (mk4) up close if good at boss fighting
I just run empowered smite every time
You can easily top boss damage if there are no boss killer builds in the group with ds melee alone
But if you eat a plague ogryn overhead or three you're dead
Y his healthbar off
because i dislike the screen clutter of 20 health bars in maelstrom
what else is new hahaha. That's the psyker way. We squishy
crushers have 3600 health if you need to know that now you do XD
I use healthbars a lot
Your mistake is letting the elites stay alive long enough to clutter your screen
makes it easier to know if need to use a nade or not on vet, etc
My screen is oh so clean
i try to use a little assists as possible as i believe it dilutes skill
it also lets me know if it's safe to just do a quick poke on some enemies like maniacs etc
nothing against anyone that use mods for that, i only use mods for clarity
AND EVEN THAT I CANT GET
BECAUSE WARP SIPHON LIKES TO HIDE
no need for a health bar for enemies, there are two simple states: not dead and dead
Use better buff management
i have it
warp siphon hides when it wants to
Buffs i have stuck in a separate bar reliably show up for me

What's yours look like?
I switch the middle aura one frequently though.
actually i lied
i accidentally removed it
I like soul drinker a lot because it gives a raison d'etre to wildfire
damn idiot i am
which of the staff weapons are performing well right now? new to psyker
all
I saw a dude in one of my games running a pure LMB build on surge staff
All psyker exclusive weapons fuck real good
oh sweet
but somehow he was bypassing fireing speed limit
I know it used to be possible by hitting reload and lmb really fast
Lvl 10, Wanted to use something other than smite, and my malice teammates don’t how to dodge and melee
Even dueling swords, except they're not psyker exclusive anymore
but is it still possible now?
yes
how do it?
do you need a specific build for staff spam or is it just click on head game
If someone is doing it consistently for a long time, they are probably using a macro and therefore cheating (bannably so)
Depends on the staff
i dont think inferno requires a specific build
eeh, fair
You have to complement the flame thrower staff with good armor damage options, the single target staff with crowd clear etc
requires less of a specific build
Only voidstrike really just does everything
maybe just path to warp siphon and in fire reborn but inferno is kind of build agnostic
the first 4x80 staff i got is voidstrike, do you have any build recommendations for that
awesome tysm
You can run voidstrike in any configuration, really
I hate disrupt destiny
But this one is a voidstrike maximising build
All of the talent picks serve to ensure you can strike that void as much as possible
hell yearh
It's peak man
They need to make the base duration 10 and any teammate killing marked target gives you stack
I hate to break it to you
as a quality of life change
But with the weakspot talent
You have to headshot one blue man every 39s
It's so doable i personally drop that talent altogether
as someone coming from vet, the neccessity to kill shit your self on RNG and the RNG of psyker in general is annoying
glow in the dark, covers up my bald spot, and I still get to show my void eyes
it's perfect
I think empowered smite might have rotted my brain too much
Why play the game? Just stun the entire map
EP smite causes brain damage, yes
Nah, Just nerf the EP value down to 150
wanna start seeing smite users blow up
smite was considered quite bad when it was first added
remove the safetynet quell
yeah it still stunned but it did no damage
that'll happen constantly
Smite was considered bad when it was still surge
wasn't until the EP value got bumped up to 200% damage that it was considered good
i said this when it first came out, ''if you think it was bad you were just mad that the psyker was having fun''
it still is bad, but only because it removes skill expression from everyone in the lobby
finally some good drip
let the psyker play palpatine, im having fun not having dudes move on my screen
lmao
Tbh i can kind of appreciate smikers
I'm having dudes not move on my screen and killing them now
Last all psyker match i was in the other 2 guys instantly died somehow
some of my 1st auric clears were legit smite carries because it trivialized runs
i still think it makes runs easy af
And my voidstriking self and the ep smiker duoed the next few minutes
I would so much rather have a book user than a smite user
Genuinely trivialized that mael with peak cc and peak dps
same purpose, much better balancing
I kind of want to try an all ep smite run
Pretty easy
Four smikers, probably entirely brainless
i think the only touch smite needs is a touch to the peril generated
but it isnt bad, nor too unbalanced
Could just make it scale up over time
if you increase peril gen, I just pretend it didn't happen because of the new -40 peril generation perk
that would be a good start, yeah
The issue is less the ability to lock a group in place more the fact you can just keep doing it for minutes at a time at no cost
give it like, 5 times the scaling that scrier's has
tbh that talent seems kinda shit except on the smite
And no explode prevention
yes
yeah like you can do it non stop and get some peril removed just for using the damned ability
I already grab like all of the starting talents for toughness regen
so -30 toughness regen doesn't really do much
especially when I don't even get hit except by really far away shooters
.7 toughness modifyer isnt as scary as ppl are making it out to be
especially because pyker is a safe class, im jacking that
only time i get touched is when im running off being dumb af or my team is down
Psyker is really rarely in a situation where incoming damage and toughness regen are roughly matched
Either you are nuking a horde and genning 1000 toughness and wasting most of it or you're getting smacked on the ass by 2 bruisers and instantly out of toughness
even when toughness breaks mettle, soulstealr and soul drinker usually pumps it back up to max
even with ER
But in turn, the - peril gen is kind of a nothingburger on staff builds
You're gonna wanna be edging perils anyways
i only like ER on surge because i be building up peril like a mofo
It is good on surge specifically because it means you can skip the peril reduction warp siphon node
is it just me or is something satisfying about DS2 decapitations?
reminds me of assasination kills in tenchu
dunno why
Used to be
Got buffed recentlyish
seems like a mix of DS4 and 5, but with the little more horde clear
I think it's the #2 dueling sword
DS4 still #1?
mk4 is the one with the best feeling
The horde clear is still very mediocre, and the heavy damage is now too
MK5 is really good on staff psyker
that dodge distance is crazy high
Yeah the only good thing about it is the dodge
DS2 is good because you can abuse DS4 poke spam
and have the funny DS5 overhead heavy
best of both worlds
which, if you're playing voidstrike, you won't be melee'ing much to begin with
But the other ds already have enough mobility to outrun anything
It was
Now is an all arounder
weird tangent, do you think Sienna has a staff that functions similarly to the fire shotgun in Darktide?
wayy shorter range
I think
correct
Coru rmb swap spam my beloved
I'm too much fireball pilled to agree
I'm really enjoying combat shotguns
by far the best new shared weapon imo
I'm gonna go if psyker gets a shotgun staff
imagine if psyker gets a way to regen ammo
dbarrel supremacy
melee weakspot kills while in Scrier's as an upgrade or something
solution
load the doublebarrel with slugs
@mossy oyster opinion on sprint efficiency?
I never run it, just use stamina regen instead
Does anyone have a good assail/creeping flame build? What would be the best keystone and weapon type?
Worthless
assail is the best blitz just because it can do this
Not once in this clip could I have guessed what was going to happen next
q: why do people run BB with surge?
wallhax
huh. makes sense
I figured assail might be better for some value horde clear but yea this makes sense
i only just remembered that psyker has the other shotguns too now lmao
Surge zap
So
Either the first target gets BB
Or the second
wow, literally the first one i bought on psyker
a surge focus build more or less picks between bb and smite and both of them are barely useful
i usually keep bb so i can kill the rare far away special
If you build for Surge you kinda don't need to use your blitz
Don’t run it for psyker
You know, smite without EP is eepy
Smite can come in handy sometimes, bb comes in handy sometimes too
Less than 10 uses per match, though
so how does one deal with sg peril generation with voidstrike?
It's surprisingly fast
Found another group of nasty players in auric
Yeppers
Use Warp Unbound for 10s free nuking time
this the blitz and the ability are literally just the oh shit buttons
i dont even take the CDR aura because of that
Nasty.. good?
yeah
we grabbed stimmies like 3 mins in and didnt even bother to use em lmao
Based
jacking animation 100% neccessary for victory
Gotta savor the drugs for celebrating
cant legally say that surge staff can even carry a bad psyker like me
no blocks lmao
Where do I find a purgatus staff? Is it just a random purchase from the shop?
most damage taken
@rancid geyser turn off some of your fucking scoreboard plug-ins for the love of god
Please
At least enough to not overflow the damn thing
I DONT KNOW WHICH someone told me to get the other scordboard extension and now its fucked
idk what to toggle off
Ovenproof?
yeah
as soon as i got overnproof it started bleeding over
i had to turn off the tab function
so i only see that shit post game now
Go into the training thing, and turn off everything in ovenproofs mod options
Then start gradually turning stuff on and deem if it's useful
(be sure to re-enable tab scoreboard)
imma keep tab scoreboard off
Yeah but for testing purposes
makes me play different because i wanna see my numbers higher than someone elses
aaah fair
This is incredibly based
can I get a purgatus staff by buying the Brunt inferno staff?
I should start doing it
Purgatus = Inferno
thanks
what would ppl consider important for the scoreboard?
i think inferno staff sounds better than purgatus
that's the only name change i liked
ok so I noticed there is an inferno staff that does bright blue damage where my one is more greenish, is the blue one purgatus?
out of every single other name change
Ovenproofs was fucked the last time I used it because of the new weapons. Does it still spam your screen in pink errors?
Just did a mission with trauma and assail with no peril generation reduction and it was rough. I could play it before, but I am too used to ER. 
ER too divergent, when i stopped using it i blew up a few times before reacclimating
Yeah but the etymologyyyy
I blew up a lot. yes yes
Potato skavenslave???
you know that meme when ppl are going on killing streaks listening to ''walkin my way down town''? Thats how i feel using ER
is it worth dropping flurry on surge for something else
ER?
