lethal lagoon
#

And just run those for a couple of hours and you'll be 30

plucky flax
#

You can play auric maelstrom melee scab only too and carry some unsanctioned guy.

lethal lagoon
#

It'll make you 30 in real life too though, so be careful

slate oasis
#

btw what's the peril % you should venting shriek at with with creeping flames?

plucky flax
#

is this a meme or?

lethal lagoon
#

83.33, but do 85 to be safe

upper sun
plucky flax
#

Lvl 200+? D:

#

I am only lvl 100.

upper sun
#

🤔

#

u sure?

plucky flax
upper sun
#

im level 400 on zealot and ~300 on psyker

#

at 1.7k

lethal lagoon
#

What build do you run for dueling sword zealot?

boreal meteor
#

whats the meta gunpsyker build rn

lethal lagoon
#

I don't need exact points just a general thingy

upper sun
plucky flax
#

I prefer piety over momentum.

upper sun
#

piety is prolly better tbh

lethal lagoon
#

I don't like marty it's not comfy

upper sun
#

wowowowow

magic kayak
#

Thats my purg build if you want another

plucky flax
#

Pick duellist, have precog on your sword and that's about it. I like peity for chastise spamming.

#

Extra attack speed.

tame venture
#

Is the chainaxe ultimately just in the same situation as the chain sword on psyker? A rev it up and blood letter mule?

upper sun
#

agent might wanna look over it

magic kayak
upper sun
#

try thrust precog too for ds4 blessings

plucky flax
#

Interesting build.

upper sun
#

u think its ok?

magic kayak
#

thats the build I did this with, nothing crazy but was on auric damnation

stuck bridge
#

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

plucky flax
#

I am not a fan of thrust so no comment from me.

magic kayak
#

same. I like uncanny and shred for dsiv

upper sun
magic kayak
#

the build synergizes with crits so shred is nice

mossy oyster
#

thrust precog ds4 (on zealot)

#

broke

plucky flax
#

I think relentless is not good.

#

It resets on target swap.

upper sun
#

WOWOWOWOOWOWOW

#

shes mid but i like her.jpg

plucky flax
#

Fair whatthefuck_heresy

magic kayak
#

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

upper sun
#

relentless lets u m1 crushers to death with uncanny tho

lethal lagoon
formal harness
upper sun
#

thats pretty funny

magic kayak
formal harness
#

I did drop souldrinker for %5 small node, and went with kinetic deflection to solo demonhosts instead tho

upper sun
formal harness
#

souldrinker hp regen was nice but I was already really damn good at regenning toughness

#

so didn't hurt me much in the end

strong gulch
magic kayak
#

yeah KD is a great blessing for sure

formal harness
#

you also get the %7.5 toughness on warp kills, which feels roughly the same toughness gain

fresh reef
#

wanted to give myself better burst toughness generation, along with giving my team toughness regen as well

#

still based?

lethal lagoon
#

what weapon is that for?

magic kayak
#

I did quietude for toughness gain on my creeping flames but considered swapping for soulstealer

formal harness
#

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

magic kayak
#

I felt like the ability is up so much already it wasn't really worth it

fresh reef
magic kayak
#

my curios normally have revive speed for maelstrom instead of sniper though to be honest

formal harness
#

it's roughly 2 seconds cut from the ability, taking it from 15 to 13

#

at max siphon

lethal lagoon
formal harness
#

that doesn't sound too good but over the course of the game it's pretty valid

magic kayak
#

yeah you can do either, I have souldrinker which is 5% on soulblaze kill

#

but I did just swap it

plucky flax
magic kayak
#

30 mins

#

30:13 it says

#

im not super good or anything but for me thats pretty good

glass plume
plucky flax
#

Ye that's decent.

formal harness
#

as ability cycling is what makes psyker a powerhouse

magic kayak
#

I don't disagree, but having 15% more hp is pretty legit

strong gulch
#

Brunt held out on the goods again. staregryn

magic kayak
#

dont think im lacking damage here so felt like making sure I'm alive to do damage was more important

formal harness
#

you can swap the toughness for hp no problem

magic kayak
#

I do hate gunners

formal harness
#

2 toughness curios 1 stam if I am not running kinetic deflection

#

3 toughness if I am running kd

magic kayak
#

but I feel like I can venting shriek gunners or get in range for purg, whereas snipers are just hopefully bb

formal harness
#

but think about how much value you'll get over the course of a game

formal harness
#

you'll take like 500 rounds fro gunners commpared to one sniper shot

plucky flax
#

Pick EE and you can run up to shooters easier.

magic kayak
#

lol yeah but I can disable gunners easier theyre usually more in range

formal harness
#

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

magic kayak
formal harness
#

and they spawn in packs

plucky flax
#

Every build? I only run it on assail or burga.

#

The other weapons just don't have fast enough firerate.

magic kayak
#

every build where it makes sense

strong gulch
magic kayak
#

I feel like I really use seer's present on most of my builds so EE is always right there beckoning me lol

formal harness
# magic kayak every build where it makes sense

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

magic kayak
#

yeah it was basically just an excuse to get souldrinker since it was a new node

formal harness
#

Yep, I did the same build you did and I was like: this is not worth the point investment

magic kayak
#

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

formal harness
#

I mean, you can take literally whatever you want instead. If I was you tho, I’d go with the faster brain burts

magic kayak
#

yeah I do love kinetic resonance

formal harness
#

You said you had issues with sniper range and this build lacks boss dps

#

You have a really fast cycling ult

#

Go for resonance

formal harness
#

You’ll feel a big difference if you swap out your sniper resist for gunner ones

magic kayak
#

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

formal harness
#

Should feel much better

#

If you feel like you are lacking toughness gain take %7.5 toughness on warp kills

magic kayak
#

no more 10% atk speed, will be down to thammer speed now

formal harness
#

Drop a minor node for it

plucky flax
magic kayak
#

I have the soulstealer

formal harness
magic kayak
#

I run sniper resist simply because of all things that can eff you up this is a high level threat

plucky flax
#

I don't run any gunner resist. whatthefuck_heresy

magic kayak
#

when you have 5 snipers and they change target last second it can end you

formal harness
#

Just recommending, in the end its your build and whatever you want goes in it thumbsup_ogryn

plucky flax
#

I never get shot at by gunner. whatthefuck_heresy

#

I get sniped twice per map tho. whatthefuck_heresy

magic kayak
#

same. I run sniper resist because I saw some agent chaos guy on yt run it pogryn

strong gulch
#

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. KEKW_ogryn

plucky flax
#

That's not me I am unsanctioned.

formal harness
magic kayak
plucky flax
formal harness
#

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

magic kayak
#

just venting shriek them, then burn them down

#

or use los

#

🐲

formal harness
#

Mfs tend to stay out of range, so I use surge staff primary to nuke them instead

magic kayak
#

they do suck though especially when I'm a zealot

#

I will use enshrouded just to bum rush them

plucky flax
#

I can only play zealot with knife lacerate uncanny atm. SadgeCry

formal harness
#

Every single person I told to run max gunner resist never went back, join us my brothers

plucky flax
#

Idk just don't like playing zealot anymore.

formal harness
plucky flax
#

I only like playing psyker.

formal harness
#

Where is my weekly lacerate uncanny fight

magic kayak
#

same. I play zealot for a few matches and its ok, then back to psyker

formal harness
#

Kinda itching

plucky flax
#

Hey man I am built different.

magic kayak
#

I do fleshtearer uncanny

plucky flax
#

I like to body shot. whatthefuck_heresy

magic kayak
#

hope they make a shank weapon for you for body shots count as weakspot hits

formal harness
#

People are finally seeing the light

magic kayak
#

I used to do lacerate mercy but only because I had terrible RNG and couldnt get more blessings lol

plucky flax
formal harness
#

I do start a fight there once a week

#

You can watch the next one, grab popcorn

magic kayak
#

not sure I understand how lacerate is that good, I don't think its bad though, are you using against hordes?

plucky flax
#

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.

magic kayak
#

yeah that was my thought also

formal harness
#

Without actually running any crit

magic kayak
#

oh on zealot yeah, thought you were talking about on psyker

plucky flax
#

Oh on psyker run flesh tearer

magic kayak
#

bleed crit combo on zealot is great

formal harness
#

Ye this was for zealot

magic kayak
#

plus cdr? sign me up... ok yeah now that makes sense

magic kayak
#

I was doing a thammer build earlier. monstrosity damage is silly as hell but never liked thammer anywhere else

plucky flax
#

Also I tell people I actively bodyshot and they dismissed me. whatthefuck_heresy

#

Zealot chat is pretty close minded

magic kayak
#

I mean... they are Zealots...

formal harness
#

People also tend to not know anoint increases bleed damage as well

magic kayak
#

My favorite melee right now is heavy sword on psyker though

plucky flax
#

The only thing I head shot with knife zealot are mauler crushers and monsters.

formal harness
#

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

magic kayak
#

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

plucky flax
#

Still sad about momentum nerf nooooo

formal harness
#

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

formal harness
#

I'm a regarded male that didn't understand, thank you

fresh reef
upper sun
#

jokes arent allowed in psyker chat thank u

fresh reef
#

I have learned the proper way to use fire shotgun is to simply keep shooting it until you can't shoot it

#

then melee

formal harness
broken carbon
#

uhh

#

sure

#

give me a couple

magic kayak
#

not like an actual question lol

formal harness
fresh reef
#

I intentionally backline right before ammo spawns just so they get to them first

plucky flax
#

Based considerate gun psyker like me

fresh reef
#

but I'd be lying if I said I didn't take the ammo satchel that our orange veteran left behind

magic kayak
#

I'm a gun psyker that doesn't use a gun

plucky flax
#

I only hoover ammo when I play vet but that is my right

magic kayak
#

just my caxe

fresh reef
#

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

magic kayak
#

and a quick draw revolver so I can go clint eastwood on crushers for memery

fresh reef
#

then said 'shitker' before ragequitting

#

love vets

magic kayak
#

a lot of people are very angry about letting other people play the way they want

#

COD players that jump into darktide lol

plucky flax
#

Try bolt pistol is a side grade to revolver but much cooler

magic kayak
#

the bolt pistol is freaking nice, been watching people use it

#

haven't leveled mine up yet

fresh reef
#

got the fucking food truck weapon skins lol

magic kayak
#

but as a fan of spaghetti westerns I'm not sure its cooler

#

yeah I can't do those

plucky flax
#

Anyone have micro stutter?

fresh reef
#

YES

magic kayak
fresh reef
#

AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT

plucky flax
magic kayak
#

it actually is for sure

plucky flax
#

Just smash left click on axe and everything die

magic kayak
#

exactly, and throw knives into enemies faces as needed

oblique topaz
#

Ayo

#

Does corruption resist work against crystalline will?

plucky flax
#

I think it's wound?

oblique topaz
#

Ahh

magic kayak
#

I haven't used crystalline will yet

oblique topaz
#

Sounds right

#

Yeah I fumbled twice with assail

#

Got to 100 and misclicked

plucky flax
#

Too much power

#

Head explode

magic kayak
#

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?

spice veldt
#

knocks off the nearest wound as usual

broken carbon
#

its not much

#

itll only kill chaff

upper sun
#

it can be ammped with uncanny

broken carbon
#

lol awesome

#

also

#

hi arco

spice veldt
#

oh right in that sense

#

KYAAAAAAAA!!!! EXPLODE!!!!!!!

#

hi meow

upper sun
#

🤔 can it be ammped with executor

broken carbon
#

i think executor would fade

#

before the explosion animation finishes

#

oh

#

wait

#

no

upper sun
broken carbon
#

it quickens that part

#

nvm

formal harness
broken carbon

sorry siblings

the zealot idiots leaked over here for a second

and KILLED chat

🙄

jovial juniper

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

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

fiery stratus
#

Nothing crazy, this is just a near perfect example of a sniper wave

#

2manylazurs

#

Also, is this worth it out of melk?

waxen jackal
#

So purg staff is really fun from what I've been seeing on here?

sweet beacon
#

That's a good purge yeah

#

I usually prefer warp res as dump but it's good

grand raven
#

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?

waxen jackal
#

I think that's been a bug. I haven't seen a patch for it yet. Unless I missed it

weary kraken
#

voidstrike staff dump?

late sapphire
#

blast radius

weary kraken
#

im still confused with name changes xd

waxen jackal
#

Would purge and scriers gaze work well together? If it wasn't bugged?

late sapphire
#

Warp Unbound doesn't work with purg

#

But purg doesn't produce a lot of perils so sg purg works

waxen jackal
#

Like it's not supposed to at all?

late sapphire
#

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

strong gulch
waxen jackal
#

I might try a purge build here soon. Or blazing trauma

rancid geyser
#

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

#

😦

strong gulch
#

Some of them are accessibility tbf.

rancid geyser
#

im not getting into this convo again

#

lmao

#

i get that but there is legit a line

late sapphire
#

I think if i was deaf, be it partially or fully, i wouldn't play without the spidey senses mod

magic kayak
#

spider sense mod is required for me to play just because I can't always have sound up as much

rancid geyser
#

starting to realize how many ppl bank on spidey sense

waxen jackal
#

I can't believe there is an option to turn off the backstab noise

strong gulch
#

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.

fiery stratus
#

the only visual mod i really use in game is healthbars. But i could even give and take on that

orchid shadow
#

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

rancid geyser
#

shit just hides when it wants to

fiery stratus
#

well designed game

rancid geyser
#

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

fiery stratus
#

either that or a wider visual indicator added

rancid geyser
#

on the bottom where the sit

fiery stratus
#

or sound

#

smthin

rancid geyser
#

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

fiery stratus
#

bungie has been on something for a while now lmao

magic kayak
#

Bungie was relevent with destiny 1

rancid geyser
#

still having to geuss if i have 2 stacks or 6 is kinda affecting my gameplay loop now

fiery stratus
#

they lost me after halo lol

willow hazel

the buff bar thing started to be an issue when they added coherency auras

Never played it.

#

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

rancid geyser
rancid geyser
#

ppl usually say Pillars tho unless you are specifically in a conv about crpgs

lethal lagoon
#

Nah, I feel like even if I was chatting in a Pillars discord, people would assume PoE is path of exile

waxen jackal
#

I got 1500 datamantine out of nowhere. It's like Christmas

brazen rampart
#

It's from the event.

waxen jackal
#

Yeah, I just wasnt paying attention to the progress

frozen loom
#

anyone have a handy voidstrike dd sg tree i can copy

waxen jackal
#

Gimme a sec

waxen jackal
waxen jackal
#

So with my extra datamantine I got to level a dueling sword. I know uncanny is one blessing, what should my other be?

rancid geyser
#

thrust or the other one that gives damage on repeated hits

#

me thinks

#

i just like thrust cause it stacks kinda fast

waxen jackal
#

I was thinking thrust or rampage

potent echo
#

Rampage might actually be fine with warp splitter and SG/DD

#

But I would lean in more into single target

rancid geyser
#

relentless strike + uncanny strikes/ thrust + uncanny strikes would be what i reccomend

late sapphire
#

relentless strikes is kinda worthless on DS outside of bossing

rancid geyser
#

i dont use it for wave clear

late sapphire
#

thrust is similar

#

go uncanny riposte

rancid geyser
#

duelling sword is for bosses/crushers elite killing

potent echo
#

Thrust is good for ragers

rancid geyser
#

its not an add clear weapon

late sapphire
#

thrust sucks because with ds4 you can heavy attack twice in the time it takes you to stack 3 thrust stacks

waxen jackal
#

And just use assail and my staff for hordes? Mainly?

late sapphire
#

Yes

rancid geyser
#

2 heavies with thrust can kill crushers, dont need to go for full stacks

late sapphire
#

It's a fast and agile weapon, not one for big blows

potent echo
#

I would say thrust isn't for stationary targets but for initiating fights or after a dodge backwards

split lance
#

He’s older

#

Too

#

I’m scared

waxen jackal
#

I'll try thrust and risposte and see which fits my style better

rancid geyser
#

330

#
  • carapace bonus
late sapphire
#

It's peak damage but thrust only really works on slow weapons or with charge

potent echo
#

Nuh uh

late sapphire
#

Yuh uh

#

it's a dps loss, it stinks

#

For ragers just use the special

#

You can special attack out of block

waxen jackal
#

But check it out, my first 500 weapon

late sapphire
#

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

waxen jackal
#

Am I supposed to be fully charging my staff when using it? I do when I have time, but not always

rancid geyser
#

idk imma just say if you are taking duelling sword for anything but specials/elites and bosses

#

its kind of a waste

late sapphire
rancid geyser
#

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

waxen jackal
#

Yeah I know it's not bosses and such. I've been looking forward to using it

late sapphire
#

You'll get a feel for when you need to throw large and small balls

fresh reef
#

@mossy oyster

waxen jackal
#

So for perks I'm guessing carapace and unyielding

late sapphire
#

On ds maniac is a must

rancid geyser
#

idk about that

potent echo
#

Voidstrike no to unyielding

late sapphire
#

Other perk can be flak or unyielding though

potent echo
#

It's unyielding damage isn't it, you would be meleeing bosses and bulwarks

late sapphire
#

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

mossy oyster
#

and what for

waxen jackal
#

I have flak and carapace on my voidstrike. So I'll do maniac and unyielding on my ds

fresh reef
potent echo
#

Flak on voidstrike is kind of overkill too

fresh reef
#

but I don't wanna buff assail

#

by accident

potent echo
#

You already oneshot any flak things

late sapphire
rancid geyser
#

yeah i wouldnt bother with unyielding

potent echo
#

I aim for the head like a crazy person

late sapphire
#

But the cleave...

#

You do oneshot flak enemies on a fully charged headshot but imo the flak helps in all other cases

waxen jackal
#

I'm on controller, it's kinda difficult to aim the staff for the head. I manage tho

potent echo
#

I'm rather fixated on the dreg gunners one shot breakpoint lol so I usually go 10% elite

late sapphire
#

I would claim it even helps assail as long as you swap back while the shards are flying

mossy oyster
late sapphire
#

elite% is ok too though, i guess

#

Won't fight you on that

fresh reef
#

got this instead

#

now I can shoot more with the crit buff

rancid geyser
#

i think just the 1 stack from uncanny puts you in range to 2 shot elites

waxen jackal
#

Do y'all drop the difficulty when leveling a new weapon?

mossy oyster
#

is this kantrael

fresh reef
#

yup

rancid geyser
#

or actually scratch that

late sapphire
#

Always maelstrom

rancid geyser
#

has been a bad experience maybe just do heresy lmao

waxen jackal
#

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.

late sapphire
#

MK2 performs well enough

waxen jackal
#

Yeah I heard it's good too

late sapphire
#

Remember that the stabbing heavy is much stronger than the chopping one

rancid geyser
#

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

waxen jackal
rancid geyser
#

no

shrewd comet
#

is duelist sword still good on psyker?

mossy oyster
#

yes

pretty sure duellist sword good on everyone

shrewd comet
#

how's it compare to blaze swords?

late sapphire
#

Not comparable

#

Different use cases

rancid geyser
#

two diff class of weapon

shrewd comet
#

fair nuff

#

how's it play in comparison though?

rancid geyser
#

poke poke special attacks and charged melee

shrewd comet
#

compared to just swiping with illisi

#

gotcha

rancid geyser
#

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

late sapphire
#

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

rancid geyser
#

almost wish illisi was just a nice sidegrade to the power sword

late sapphire
#

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

rancid geyser
#

should have just given it a charged attack poke hehe

I just took a look at the updated psyker tree

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

broken carbon

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

Idk why it's apparently so hard to code properly

“‘crystalline will’ should”

Warp Unbound should at the very least cancel any ongoing explosions

storm grove
#

Anyone here got a void staff build I could use? I cant seem to wrap my head around it

fresh reef
#

is stamina regen good?

late sapphire
#

void what staff

storm grove
#

the one that shoots balls

late sapphire
#

no stamina regen is bad on psyker because we already have insane regen

mossy oyster
fresh reef
#

won't it just be more insane?

mossy oyster
#

I want my 2 bars of stamina up at all times

rancid geyser
#

and there is kinetic deflection

fresh reef
#

what's wrong with a little overkill?

mossy oyster
#

nothing

#

I literally run 2 stamina regens so I always have stamina to shove

#

as a gunker

#

even with 2 bars of it

#

lmfao

rancid geyser
#

valid point tho

mossy oyster
#

I never want to run around with scriers it ends and I dont have stamina to shove a dog

rancid geyser
#

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*

It wasn't there when I started down the hallway lol. They just appeared

rancid geyser
#

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

strong gulch
#

That funny, but also rude af. What a gunner.

storm grove
#

cant wait to try it out

spiral storm
#

You likely won't actually get to keystone talents

rancid geyser
#

.>

#

You can get all the crit talents and still have access to mid and right key stones no?

spiral storm
#

not unless you want the gun psyker one

rancid geyser
#

or am i bugging?

spiral storm
#

I think you can hit the right side one (but it sucks)

#

middle on uuuh

#

maybe?

rancid geyser
#

literally all the crit talents are on the upper right half

#

so yeah you mos def can get middle

#

even some of the left

spiral storm
#

There's the one near the bottom that guarantees crits on 5 headshots

rancid geyser
#

you have enough points to grab that and middle

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

yeah, you can hit the left side even

#

buuuuuut you miss out on a lot of the good upper talents that regen toughness

rancid geyser
#

missing soul drinker but yeah there arent too many crit nodes where it hampers you too much

storm grove
spiral storm
#

Soul drinker only helps with burn staff

split lance
rancid geyser
#

literally using it on surge

#

lmao

spiral storm
#

unless you want to run a fire sword

split lance
#

It’s good on trauma and surge

rancid geyser
late sapphire
spiral storm
#

wait, you can put burn on the surge?

late sapphire
#

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

rancid geyser
#

yes you just need wild fire and or perilous combustion

split lance
rancid geyser
#

or even without those you can use venting shriek with creeping flame

spiral storm
#

Not sure I entirely like how that build sounds

rancid geyser
#

but its meta

#

lmao

spiral storm
#

I thought meta is just empowered smite

late sapphire
#

surge venting shriek perilous combustion warp siphon is the canonical surge focus build

rancid geyser
#

i even made a tree then looked up surge builds and they aren't dissimilar

#

venting shriek on surge staff is just free

storm grove
#

Yeah I see the damage output in psykanium. How's the boss damage though?

spiral storm
#

ON the surge or voidstrike?

late sapphire
#

Assail stinks, voidstrike is ok but only if you hit all heads

#

Dueling sword with sg and dd shreds bosses but is risky

spiral storm
#

Assail isn't """bad"""

storm grove
#

hmm i supposed on the whole build?

spiral storm
#

it's just not "great"

rancid geyser
#

like right now you have surge staff builds with either lmb or rmb, but both use shriek

storm grove
#

ah so voidstrike on boss weak spots as usual

spiral storm
#

so the surge build now is dipping into soulbalze and venting?

#

does it hit any keystones?

late sapphire
rancid geyser
spiral storm
#

I played auric almost exclusively

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

I just run empowered smite every time

late sapphire
#

You can easily top boss damage if there are no boss killer builds in the group with ds melee alone

rancid geyser
#

hehe

late sapphire
#

But if you eat a plague ogryn overhead or three you're dead

spiral storm
#

Y his healthbar off

rancid geyser
#

because i dislike the screen clutter of 20 health bars in maelstrom

storm grove
rancid geyser
#

crushers have 3600 health if you need to know that now you do XD

spiral storm
#

I use healthbars a lot

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

makes it easier to know if need to use a nade or not on vet, etc

late sapphire
#

My screen is oh so clean

rancid geyser
#

i try to use a little assists as possible as i believe it dilutes skill

spiral storm
#

it also lets me know if it's safe to just do a quick poke on some enemies like maniacs etc

rancid geyser
#

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

half iron
#

no need for a health bar for enemies, there are two simple states: not dead and dead

late sapphire
#

Use better buff management

rancid geyser
#

warp siphon hides when it wants to

late sapphire
#

Buffs i have stuck in a separate bar reliably show up for me

lethal lagoon
#

What's yours look like?

#

I switch the middle aura one frequently though.

rancid geyser
#

i accidentally removed it

late sapphire
#

I like soul drinker a lot because it gives a raison d'etre to wildfire

rancid geyser
#

damn idiot i am

grim mural
#

which of the staff weapons are performing well right now? new to psyker

spiral storm
#

I saw a dude in one of my games running a pure LMB build on surge staff

late sapphire
#

All psyker exclusive weapons fuck real good

grim mural
#

oh sweet

lethal lagoon
#

LMB only is an actual build now

#

Not just a meme

spiral storm
#

but somehow he was bypassing fireing speed limit

#

I know it used to be possible by hitting reload and lmb really fast

willow heath
#

Lvl 10, Wanted to use something other than smite, and my malice teammates don’t how to dodge and melee

late sapphire
#

Even dueling swords, except they're not psyker exclusive anymore

spiral storm
#

but is it still possible now?

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

how do it?

rancid geyser
#

lmao

late sapphire
#

You lmb and then quell

#

delay it by maybe 40ms

spiral storm
#

oh, so still the same

#

guess my timing was just off

grim mural
#

do you need a specific build for staff spam or is it just click on head game

late sapphire
#

If someone is doing it consistently for a long time, they are probably using a macro and therefore cheating (bannably so)

spiral storm
#

Most staffs require a specific build

#

except like

#

uuuh

#

actually nvm they all do

rancid geyser
#

i dont think inferno requires a specific build

spiral storm
#

eeh, fair

late sapphire
#

You have to complement the flame thrower staff with good armor damage options, the single target staff with crowd clear etc

spiral storm
#

requires less of a specific build

late sapphire
#

Only voidstrike really just does everything

rancid geyser
#

maybe just path to warp siphon and in fire reborn but inferno is kind of build agnostic

grim mural
#

the first 4x80 staff i got is voidstrike, do you have any build recommendations for that

late sapphire
#

Pick a staff and we'll give you a build

#

Yes!

grim mural
#

awesome tysm

late sapphire
#

You can run voidstrike in any configuration, really

spiral storm
#

I hate disrupt destiny

late sapphire
#

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

grim mural
#

hell yearh

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

They need to make the base duration 10 and any teammate killing marked target gives you stack

late sapphire
#

I hate to break it to you

spiral storm
#

as a quality of life change

late sapphire
#

But with the weakspot talent

#

You have to headshot one blue man every 39s

#

It's so doable i personally drop that talent altogether

rancid geyser
fresh reef
#

glow in the dark, covers up my bald spot, and I still get to show my void eyes

#

it's perfect

spiral storm
#

I think empowered smite might have rotted my brain too much

#

Why play the game? Just stun the entire map

late sapphire
#

EP smite causes brain damage, yes

fresh reef
#

the solution is to rework smite

#

but fatshark ain't doin that

rancid geyser
#

smite needs to amp the peril it gives for each enemy you hit

#

hehe

spiral storm
#

Nah, Just nerf the EP value down to 150

rancid geyser
#

wanna start seeing smite users blow up

spiral storm
#

smite was considered quite bad when it was first added

fresh reef
spiral storm
#

yeah it still stunned but it did no damage

fresh reef
#

that'll happen constantly

late sapphire
#

Smite was considered bad when it was still surge

spiral storm
#

wasn't until the EP value got bumped up to 200% damage that it was considered good

rancid geyser
fresh reef
#

it still is bad, but only because it removes skill expression from everyone in the lobby

spiral storm
#

that was when no peril bug was ingame

#

when it got fixed no one used it anymore

rancid geyser
#

let the psyker play palpatine, im having fun not having dudes move on my screen

#

lmao

late sapphire
#

Tbh i can kind of appreciate smikers

spiral storm
#

I'm having dudes not move on my screen and killing them now

late sapphire
#

Last all psyker match i was in the other 2 guys instantly died somehow

rancid geyser
#

some of my 1st auric clears were legit smite carries because it trivialized runs

#

i still think it makes runs easy af

late sapphire
#

And my voidstriking self and the ep smiker duoed the next few minutes

fresh reef
late sapphire
#

Genuinely trivialized that mael with peak cc and peak dps

fresh reef
#

same purpose, much better balancing

late sapphire
#

I kind of want to try an all ep smite run

spiral storm
#

Pretty easy

late sapphire
#

Four smikers, probably entirely brainless

rancid geyser
#

i think the only touch smite needs is a touch to the peril generated

#

but it isnt bad, nor too unbalanced

late sapphire
spiral storm
#

if you increase peril gen, I just pretend it didn't happen because of the new -40 peril generation perk

rancid geyser
late sapphire
#

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

fresh reef
#

give it like, 5 times the scaling that scrier's has

spiral storm
#

tbh that talent seems kinda shit except on the smite

late sapphire
fresh reef
#

yes

rancid geyser
spiral storm
#

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

rancid geyser
#

.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

late sapphire
#

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

rancid geyser
#

even when toughness breaks mettle, soulstealr and soul drinker usually pumps it back up to max

#

even with ER

late sapphire
#

But in turn, the - peril gen is kind of a nothingburger on staff builds

#

You're gonna wanna be edging perils anyways

rancid geyser
#

i only like ER on surge because i be building up peril like a mofo

late sapphire
#

It is good on surge specifically because it means you can skip the peril reduction warp siphon node

fresh reef
rancid geyser
#

dunno why

fresh reef
#

isn't DS2 considered the worst dueling sword?

#

doesn't feel very bad to me

late sapphire
#

Got buffed recentlyish

fresh reef
#

seems like a mix of DS4 and 5, but with the little more horde clear

late sapphire
#

I think it's the #2 dueling sword

fresh reef
#

DS4 still #1?

late sapphire
#

IMO yes

#

MK5 kind of has no purpose

rancid geyser
#

mk4 is the one with the best feeling

late sapphire
#

The horde clear is still very mediocre, and the heavy damage is now too

fresh reef
#

that dodge distance is crazy high

late sapphire
#

Yeah the only good thing about it is the dodge

mossy oyster
#

DS2 is good because you can abuse DS4 poke spam

#

and have the funny DS5 overhead heavy

#

best of both worlds

fresh reef
#

which, if you're playing voidstrike, you won't be melee'ing much to begin with

late sapphire
#

But the other ds already have enough mobility to outrun anything

jovial juniper
fresh reef
#

weird tangent, do you think Sienna has a staff that functions similarly to the fire shotgun in Darktide?

jovial juniper
#

Yeah the beam

#

Just

#

Shorter range

#

And corus?

fresh reef
#

wayy shorter range

jovial juniper
#

I think

late sapphire
#

coruscation lmb

#

Coruscation staff best staff btw

fresh reef
#

correct

potent echo
#

Coru lmb is the best

Oneshotting plague monks 🫦

Coru rmb swap spam my beloved

jovial juniper

Go into the training thing, and turn off everything in ovenproofs mod options

imma keep tab scoreboard off

can I get a purgatus staff by buying the Brunt inferno staff?
