psyker-class

[upper sun]

Amen 🙏

[eager token]

is flurry broken?

[analog agate]

Yes. You have to fully charge staff for it to work. If you don't you actually fire slower

[eager token]

wtf fatshark

[analog agate]

And a lot of the time you don't need to fully charge staff. So it just feels awful

[upper sun]

agent uses flayer 😭

also wtf was that unlock @plucky flax

[analog agate]

I use flayer too

[upper sun]

b-but

it still procs on trash

[analog agate]

Just less. It definitely is annoying. But you can tell it targets better stuff more. I do hope they make it just not proc unless there is an elite/special

atm it can target a bruiser, THEN a special spawns and you are sol

Also, I am at the point where I don't use KD. So I am just using another dmg talent

[plucky flax]

Yeah 10 years of shitty cosmetic unlocks.

[zinc phoenix]

Depends on the staff

[plucky flax]

I use flayer purely for the extra monster damage. Although it did kill a few elites here and there.

When they properly fix it, it'd be like a low value pick.

[zinc phoenix]

Like for smite surge or void I want horde clear weap, for trauma I want ds4 for can opener or mutie spanking

[upper sun]

ill take it in 3 months then

[plucky flax]

I played pretty well that game apart from going down due to getting shot in the back.

[upper sun]

btw anyone know whats the BB breakpoint for dogs without EP?

like 40 peril?

[jovial juniper]

Rashad
Wow what a surprise

[eager token]

blaze away on purgatus worth taking over flurry?

or maybe the brittleness blessing

[upper sun]

yes

brittleness is mid

[eager token]

good shit

[zinc phoenix]

Playing this some more and I like it less and less, it’s maximally glass cannon so you lack any tools to salvage bad situations in open areas

[upper sun]

blaze away is stupid

legit broken

purge is kinda worse than plasma rn

[eager token]

is it more or less broken than ER + kinetic deflection + deflector

cus that shit is stupid

psyker busted class

[upper sun]

more

[eager token]

sheesh

[feral verge]

THIS IDIOT LIVES RENT FREE IN THE PSYKHANIUM

HE NEVER LEAVES

@spice veldt

[upper sun]

leave him alone

[eager token]

let him cook

[upper sun]

hes checking a micro bug that effects no one

[eager token]

his build is going to be better than yours

[jovial juniper]

Bro likes Sefoni

Understandable

[upper sun]

oh yeah when agent wants to jump a sniper he jumps the sniper

when i do it

[spice veldt]

i'm pondering the orb about whether to keep riposte on my duellies or to swap it off

[upper sun]

THE SHOT TELEPORTS MID AIR

AND NUKES MY HP

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[eager token]

riposte gamers get extra cool guy points

keep it

[spice veldt]

hmm

[fallow dock]

Riposte my beloved

[plucky flax]

Jump sniper what now?

[fallow dock]

Works well with the two crit perks at the top right of psyker talent tree

[spice veldt]

i am pretty motivated to keep it on for perfect timing

[upper sun]

12:10

i did the exact same thing but the sniper shot got me

[plucky flax]

Just lucky I guess.

[upper sun]

i think you just jumped before the lock on time

i think at some point it hit tracks and checks for i frames or some shit

[upper sun]

relentless uncanny my beloved

[radiant frigate]

siblings i do not particularly like the dueling sword

[analog agate]

Heresy

[spice veldt]

kill

[upper sun]

ban

whatelse do you take on scab melee

[radiant frigate]

i don't really queue for maelstroms

lot of modifiers i find stupid and i'm not going to wait around for better ones

[upper sun]

scab melee isnt even a maelstrom

its pretty much a standard auric modifier

[radiant frigate]

is it

never seen it

[spice veldt]

it is definitely a maelstrom

[radiant frigate]

outside of meleestrom

[strong gulch]

Illisi is usually built with slaughterer. With full stacks, you can one shot horde enemies with lights and an illisi special gets you there faster. The special also lets you cut through more targets and keeps your peril up for things like warp rider and shriek (with creeping flames).

[upper sun]

it is a maelstrom

but tbh i only play trauma there

so its kinda dirt easy

[sweet steeple]

thanks

[spice veldt]

to me, ds is the best if you're swapping a bunch (e.g., with assail), so I always run duellies since i always run assail

[upper sun]

i run ds4 because zoom

and poke

[radiant frigate]

i run force swords because i like magic sword

[analog agate]

Yep, just tried it again. And many of the times if you don't wait for a full charge on electro staff it doesn't even cast. Broken af

I knew it was broken. But now I have lived the life

Walked the walk

[upper sun]

dont hate the player hate the game

[sacred crane]

what perks for blaze trauma again

[sweet steeple]

what is dump stat for illisi force sword

[upper sun]

flak crit

[upper sun]

warp resist

[sweet steeple]

and staff is quell speed correct?

[upper sun]

also warp resist

[sweet steeple]

you can have 80 in everything except 1 stat right?

[frozen whale]

ye

1 has to be 60

[sweet steeple]

and mobility is more important then warp resist?

[frozen whale]

deepends on bbuild bbut yes

u want hhiggh peril

cause most of our damage comes from it

[sweet steeple]

gotcha

[frozen whale]

Remember to serve my beloved well brother

[sweet steeple]

thx, using force sword special to mantain high peril is something i didnt think about, and very useful

what is curio max?

what perks on force sword and voidstrike staff?

[feral verge]

max stats?

max hp is 21%

[sweet steeple]

max power

[feral verge]

toughness is 17%

max power rating doesnt matter on curio

[strong gulch]

+3 stam, 21 health, 17 thoughness

there is an issue with stam curios tho. IDK at what rating, but there is a stam curio tha says +3 but in a mission is only +2. It will show stam bars like you have +3 in the meat grinder too. Which just makes it more confusing.

[upper sun]

meanwhile wounds are always the same

[feral verge]

this depends on the force sword

[upper sun]

marty wins once more

[feral verge]

in general, you cannot go wrong usually with flak and maniac

[plucky flax]

Should be 1.5 wounds or something for high rating.

Extra power for martydom.

Extra attack speed for combat axe.

[upper sun]

ikr

you cant even get 7 stacks in damnation

[feral verge]

too bad marty is capped at 6 wounds anyway

[upper sun]

you cant reach that tho

they should make until death work at zero hp instead of one so you can have that last stack

[plucky flax]

High rating wound curios to push wounds count to 8 (with 7 stacks cap) for damnation would be nice.

[strong gulch]

Something to look out for on for swords is that the push attack, not the push, causes damage and increases peril if it connects. Which means if you're at 100% peril and do a push attack, you explode. Push attack is single target and can knock over a human sized enemy from up to 9m away. It can open bulwark shields too.

[upper sun]

nah adding .33 or .5 wounds is gonna look like a mess

[strong gulch]

Right??

[upper sun]

i think it would be super cool if you got extra damage in until death and only until death

[radiant frigate]

imagine if curios had +2 wounds

[spice veldt]

crystalline wound

i meant to type crystalline will but that works too

[upper sun]

delete warp siphon and make it marty but for psyker

[radiant frigate]

assail victims:

[spice veldt]

crystalline will is the martyrdom that we only need

we have already reached peak that zealots can't touch

[upper sun]

i unironically tried it in smyker only maelstrom with atlas and tren

it was so fucking bad

[spice veldt]

clearly you were doing something wrong

[upper sun]

i kept blowing up just for 500 damage

600 with uncanny stacks

[spice veldt]

maybe if you wore shorts instead of pants in that game

or brought better boots

[upper sun]

i always wear shorts

[spice veldt]

hell yeah

[crude cape]

havent been playing psyker recently - any good builds that use both assail and bubble shield?
or is skriers preferred now

[spice veldt]

i use wall shield with my build to get more points with other stuff

e.g., this is what i do

you might take off battle meditation and/or ethereal shards for dome though

[crude cape]

nice ty, you using staff with this?

[spice veldt]

yeah, with voidstrike or voidBLASSST

[plucky flax]

You can play assail with any ability tbh.

[upper sun]

what does basic shield even look like lmao

[spice veldt]

i prioritize neutral game since i always forget to use scrier's

[strong gulch]

You could do this if you are set on using bubble. Voidstrke would be the best pairing but purg would also work.

[sweet steeple]

i would do dome instead of geting the 30% faster shards

[upper sun]

i am NOT doing dome

dome bad i hate taking dome

[fresh reef]

How would you guys nerf dueling sword?

[upper sun]

i wouldnt

[fresh reef]

Assuming it's part of a big nerf everything patch

[spice veldt]

witness my pristine graphics

[spice veldt]

i'd reduce its heavy damage by a significant amount

at least 33%

[upper sun]

(ban zealot from using ds4)

[upper sun]

so it just one wall?

[spice veldt]

yeah, i never ever take double walls

[upper sun]

relentless uncanny lets you m1 crushers to death

perfectly balanced

[spice veldt]

i just think that dome is much more convenient to temporarily deny dangerous disablers (flamers/trappers/bombers) and is much more lenient to use since it's just a spherical dome

[upper sun]

yeah i love getting dome but its hard when you're on the go

[strong gulch]

Ye

[spice veldt]

it's a selfish playstyle so i avoid taking things that can potentially benefit my team

[strong gulch]

Also when dome goes through the floor lol

[upper sun]

yeah like getting dome is nice but it has to be a team effort to go anywhere

[spice veldt]

and ethereal shards + warp splitter allows me to ration out my shards a lot longer

[upper sun]

THANK YOU

I HAD TO DO IT 4 TIMES

FUCK BUBBLE

[spice veldt]

i do think that there are enough situations where you're halted by a patrol/specialist wave for dome to be useful

unless you're in a team where everyone can just dps everything

[strong gulch]

ye

[plucky flax]

Bubble is really good when pairing with smite.

[jovial juniper]

Also the Bistol is really good for Perfectionism

[strong gulch]

Things like bubble, KD, and deflector are comfort picks. If you have awareness, map and enemy knowledge, and muscle memory, those become less valuable. But they are still nice.

[sacred crane]

good or no

[plucky flax]

Bistol my new fren. Bye revolver.

[upper sun]

nuh uh

[strong gulch]

It's good until you can get better. Very usable.

Blast radius and charge rate are the most important on this staff.

[upper sun]

🅱️istol sucks

[jovial juniper]

The life of the enemy

[plucky flax]

Me playing bistol smoke nade and knoife on vet.

[elder glade]

Bistol is Bestol

[plucky flax]

I tried to be thematic with a chainsword but that weapon is ass.

[upper sun]

its just like ds

imagine it has no light attacks

and needs to be revved to do damage

[plucky flax]

I feel better with a dclaw.

[upper sun]

thats because its better

better moveset

[plucky flax]

But smoke nade bistol and dclaw is kind of sus crusher damage.

[upper sun]

smokes

[zinc phoenix]

Crusher be like “is something hitting me???”

[plucky flax]

420 blaze it

[upper sun]

bro is recreating vent purge

[plucky flax]

[upper sun]

in every map

thank u agent very nice

(its not nice)

[plucky flax]

It's really fun to play extra nade + 60s nade regen and smoke everywhere.

[upper sun]

😠

noooooooo

[plucky flax]

I throw smoke nade in melee chaffs horde to conceal enemies movement.

Veri cool.

[upper sun]

tbh

they should make it so psykers can see through them

[jovial juniper]

Think I'll drop surgical on the Bistol
At least on Psyker
Too much running and gunning

[upper sun]

technically we dont need eyes to see

[plucky flax]

I feel like smoke should extinguish bombs and flames from heretics.

Would make it even better.

[radiant frigate]

i would just remove rending from existence and make carapace damage not godawful without it

[plucky flax]

Puncture and the blast radius blessing?

[upper sun]

that would require fatshark to balance more than putting zeros where carapace damage is

never gonna happen

[radiant frigate]

heavy sword:
las weapons:
dclaw:

[upper sun]

zero

[jovial juniper]

Doesn't seem like I have too many options

[radiant frigate]

on headshot? you guessed it, zero

on crit? 20

[plucky flax]

Surgical stacks so fast. Even at 2 stacks it's 20% extra crit chance.

I feel it's still worth it.

[stone flicker]

Man I wish i could turn off the ai

Trying to get 2 penances and they keep killing things too fast

[upper sun]

what penance(s)

games anyone???

[plucky flax]

I can play 1 or 2 games.

[upper sun]

hell yeah lemme dodge this lobby

[plucky flax]

I'll log in.

[upper sun]

perfect voidstrike with all the insignias

yeah this dude was gonna clear the mission solo

[plucky flax]

I'll play your fav weapon the bistol.

[strong gulch]

sure

[upper sun]

lets gooo

[jovial juniper]

Eating rn, sorry

[upper sun]

eat faster

[plucky flax]

I play knife bistol so I hope you guys bring horde clear.

[upper sun]

rashad

[plucky flax]

I'll throw smoke nade on horde for emotional support.

Brb pee.

[jovial juniper]

Fine lemme turn into a vacuum cleaner

[radiant frigate]

vacuum capsule

[upper sun]

omg

were playing with the streamer

[upper sun]

[strong gulch]

i don't know them. thing to play like poo 😄

[radiant frigate]

it is a ranged weapon

now renamed inferno force staff

[upper sun]

lmao

[sacred crane]

could i get opinions on my swagger blaze trauma build :3

[upper sun]

cant believe we wipped after the middle event

[plucky flax]

I got netted while I was in stealth, then some dummy made crusher dunk on me.

[strong gulch]

TBH I was scatter brained af

[upper sun]

i had a stun going too

[sacred crane]

heat seeking vision

[radiant frigate]

traxis thingy wotsit my beloved

[sacred crane]

all im saying is that is ur fault LOL

[plucky flax]

Trapped whilst stealth then dunked whilst stealth.

I dunno how. D:

[upper sun]

AYOOOOOOOOOO

[sacred crane]

actually i cant be judgementally because currently darktide is being FUCKY and stuttering every few seconds which fucks me over it also causes a bug where it will switch back to my previous weapon when trying to switch weapons

it has also gotten me downed a few times

[mossy oyster]

(its called nurgles blessing)

nurgles plot armor

[upper sun]

ragers are too much AGAIN

undo the speed buff NOW

[mossy oyster]

every single psyker player in the entire game when a green rager pulls up on them

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-kanyewest-yeezy-meme-gif-22503154

no assail stun no trauma stun no surge stun no nothing

kill or be killed

(unless theres ogryn taunt/bull rush/zealot book on the team) and vet VoC

[dusk void]

There are a few things. I would not take Penetration of the Soul (Useless Imo since the trauma staff already ignores armour). Instead, take Empyric Resolve. You'd want to be spamming your staff as much as possible. Would not take battle meditation, either put it on a toughness node or on Kinetic Resonance. I would do something like this for your keystones, but feel free to experiment with what you have in the meat grinder

[dim cradle]

meanwhile psykers with devil's claw:

[split lance]

BURGA IS PURGA OHHHHH

I’m slow soemtimes

shock maul kinda goated in the right situations

smite works nice with it

[spice mulch]

I've seen a few videos posted around here where people have their buffs right in the middle of the screen. Is that the Custom HUD mod?

[mossy oyster]

yes

[spice mulch]

Awesome. Ty

[jovial juniper]

Some of those Hud choices are

Questionable

[mossy oyster]

mine are peak

boomer shooter setup i just have everything important in mid

[strange jewel]

Greetings, where I could ask for help with certain psiker penance in this discord?

[night moat]

LFG vox channels

[strange jewel]

Ok

[full panther]

what are y'alls favorite force swords these days? Been using the Mk V and really liking it, previously I only really liked the MK IV

[zinc phoenix]

lighting reflexes on the shock maul stunning ragers is just absolutely mad

[split lance]

Illussy the goat

Undisputed

[broken carbon]

shock maul in my opinion

[zinc phoenix]

idk why more psyker arent trying shock maul tbh

[broken carbon]

is just boring

[split lance]

If anyone says differently they’re on the spectrum

[zinc phoenix]

the block power is so good

[broken carbon]

h1 l2 for hordes

h2 for single target

that’s kind of it

[split lance]

Tbh on Psyker I rarely block

[broken carbon]

or i guess you can do h2 l3 for single target too

[split lance]

Especially with like trauma staff

[zinc phoenix]

trauma definitely doesnt need shock maul

but im kinda thinking its the ideal pair for voidstrike

[split lance]

Same with purg and surge tho

Unless ur going gunker

Then I can see it

[zinc phoenix]

surge benefits from the hordeclear on it

esp b/c you get free +25 damage from smite

[split lance]

I mean vs is great for hordeclear

[frozen whale]

whhats the mod that shhows me all my buffs on the middle of the screen

[split lance]

But staffs are just very good

[zinc phoenix]

void is great for hordeclear in a straight line

[split lance]

Custom hud

[zinc phoenix]

if youre in a big open mixed area it struggles way more than trauma

[split lance]

Shoot more hehehe

[zinc phoenix]

yeah i know about spam no charge big balls etc

[split lance]

When using vs I don’t full charge too often

Unless like

At something big

Or mean

[full panther]

I know riposte/precog is probably best but I can't get enough of blazing spirit

[frozen whale]

whhats the mod that shows hp bars

[split lance]

I run slaughterer and deflector

Slaughterer and blazing is also really good

[split lance]

Hp mod

lol

[full panther]

really slaughter over precog or riposte?

[split lance]

Health bars mod

[split lance]

Yeah

[full panther]

I guess it's nice not to have to rely on dodges

but they feel so free to activate

[split lance]

Bc you swing into hordes for the most part

And swinging into em is just free warp fire

Fast max stacks. Then creeping flames

And horde gone

[full panther]

ah I've been using it with a scrier's gunker

so no creeping flames for me

[split lance]

Oh I haven’t used that

I’m not a big gunker fan. But bc I suck with gunker

I gotta try it out some more

I just live staffs

Love

[latent mauve]

who's steam name is french nut cracker

it's power

slaughterer uncanny is the usual rec, blazing spirit kinda sucks

[jovial juniper]

Not it

[full panther]

yeah, but counterpoint

blue fire is cool

[late sapphire]

I'm not gonna stop you

[ripe bluff]

just ran into someone spamming left click on surge staff all mission and the damage was kind of insane

[brazen sundial]

What's the proper way to use smite, do you charge it sometimes?

[night moat]

Just fuckin let it rip whenever

Everyone loves smite

🙂

[orchid ibex]

Don't stop until the whole screen is blue

[brazen sundial]

I guess I'm asking if you should charge or not charge it?

[jovial juniper]

The only use for LMB is to push the surprise burster

Everything else is charged

[ripe bluff]

you pretty much only ever charge it, the left click is not very useful

[night moat]

If you don't charge it, you can't lawfully scream "UNLIMITED POWEEERRRRR" like Palpatine when you release it

[late yew]

What is good void stuff and trauma staff builds?

Surge + Nexus turned out to be dissapointment on void

[upper sun]

jesus

[blissful solar]

i use the critical chance and blaze on trauma force and it lets me set everything on fire even if i dont have my ult

[upper sun]

im playing like ass today

[mossy oyster]

auric storm survivor

[upper sun]

smh

[ripe bluff]

for trauma a good one is blazing spirit and warp nexus with +5% crit chance perk

[mossy oyster]

if only you were atomas elite guard

[strong gulch]

Chaos spawn pushing me into the DH was sadge.

[ripe bluff]

but it's a bit finicky to play if you don't quell cancel

[fresh reef]

can scrier's make taxes (tac axes) do decent damage to ogryns and bosses?

[ripe bluff]

scrier's doesn't add rending or brittleness so you wouldn't do much more damage

[strong gulch]

Thanks for the games @upper sun @plucky flax .

[fresh reef]

crits have innate rending though, yes?

[upper sun]

thank YOU

[upper sun]

i dont think so

[plucky flax]

Thanking YOU.

[ripe bluff]

don't think so no it still gets scaled by penetration

[radiant frigate]

yesn't

[plucky flax]

Did you believe in bistol supremacy clad?

[upper sun]

NO

[radiant frigate]

just different damage profile

i think bistol is trash!!

[plucky flax]

It hits different.

[jovial juniper]

Bistol is goated

[plucky flax]

Except when the aim goes all shakey just because.

[mossy oyster]

Bistol goated on zealot because lethal proximity affects crusher special activation

🕵️

[radiant frigate]

explain how it isn't just worse revolver

[plucky flax]

Huh it's so much cooler.

[upper sun]

this was cool tho

[plucky flax]

And you spin and slam the mag.

unironically 95% of the damage i took in all games was ragers

[mossy oyster]

learn to dodge

[upper sun]

im barrelling u

[radiant frigate]

i hate the new dreg ragers

[blissful solar]

ragers are for sure the most dangerous enemy

[plucky flax]

Can't dodge if they attack 100000 miles an hour.

[upper sun]

they were perfect before the buffs 😭

[jovial juniper]

It has more bullets than the Revo
Bistol insta wins no diff

[radiant frigate]

and they like to come in packs of fucking ten

[blissful solar]

i just try to spam the deimos's quick stab to kill them while dodging/blocking

[upper sun]

tbh

[plucky flax]

Half of them being greens.

[upper sun]

i gave up after i died with ragers

[plucky flax]

And immune to stagger.

[upper sun]

i just held block

i blonkmaxxed

[radiant frigate]

when i see dreg ragers i just try to dodge and pray

[upper sun]

deimos of defence unironically peak

[plucky flax]

I hate green modifier because of the stupid trappers/dogs/and ragers.

[radiant frigate]

and hope that assail or fsword lights make them go away

[blissful solar]

i wanted to use something else but i realized that the deimos's quick stab for its first light attack makes it extremely strong with animation cancelling

[radiant frigate]

since i legitimately cannot charge heavies

or use special

[weary crane]

Green ragers are a fucking pain, I cant stun with purg or assail or knife so I have to run around the map while they die of my soulblaze. Green hounds are broken. Thankfully green trappers cant shoot in my bubble

[ripe bluff]

well that's the case for 90% of guns tbf

[lethal lagoon]

I think not having scoreboard installed is a big debuff by itself honestly

[mossy oyster]

agri revolver can be used in every scenario and can be shoehorned in every scenario

unlike Bistol

sucks but that’s how it is

[plucky flax]

This was me last game

[lethal lagoon]

Let's see... on Surge I never let go of right click

that's pretty standard

Uhhh

[mossy oyster]

Try being a cowboy sometime

[plucky flax]

I had 1 Mil damage last game on bistol

[mossy oyster]

agri revolver is a good time

[plucky flax]

It's not as cool

[mossy oyster]

I think 1 shotting bulwarks and reapers is pretty cool

and 2 shotting maulers and crushers

[plucky flax]

Real coolness

Are you done playing?

[upper sun]

[lethal lagoon]

[upper sun]

i have to wake up early tomorrow

[lethal lagoon]

[radiant frigate]

with what juice

[lethal lagoon]

You and me both know you aren't going to be able to go to bed early

[upper sun]

yes and?

[plucky flax]

Clad just done carrying me and beans

[lethal lagoon]

[plucky flax]

Let him sleep

[strong gulch]

I can play in like 30 mins. Need to let my brain have a break. It's not a great brain day.

[lethal lagoon]

Best part of being an adult is not having to lay in bed wide awake for like 4 hours because it's your "bedtime".

Worst part is you are always tired

[lethal lagoon]

Sure

[radiant frigate]

EXTREMELY specific

[upper sun]

do u also wake up with joint pain?

[radiant frigate]

you guys wake up?

[lethal lagoon]

Nah I take collegan with my coffee every morning

My knee pain basically vanished

[upper sun]

vitamin d deficiency if u have joint pain waking up

[lethal lagoon]

Went from every other day having to be careful to completely normal 99% of the time

[upper sun]

i got it tested last week

[lethal lagoon]

I take vitamin D supplement

[upper sun]

like 1/3rd of what it should be

[lethal lagoon]

Mostly cause I never go out in the sun and hate it deeply

[upper sun]

also yeah

thanks for reminding me

[upper sun]

FUCK THE SUN

[lethal lagoon]

collegen powder should melt right in the coffee, can't even taste it

[upper sun]

FUCK ITS KIND

DAYLIGHT SUCKS WASTE OF MIND

[strong gulch]

Also thank you sun for all of the things you do, but leave me alone. hissssss

[lethal lagoon]

I love you but leave me alone.... I have a permenant teen-parent relationship with the sun

[plucky flax]

I too prefer heavily overcast.

Less sun screen.

[lethal lagoon]

That was basically me every day in middle school

[radiant frigate]

i don't care for all rhis sunlight
it's... unhealthy

[lethal lagoon]

60 degrees, overcast, basically perfection.

Or 15 for you Euros

[plucky flax]

I don't know freedom unit

[lethal lagoon]

[plucky flax]

Hrm 15 is not bad

[upper sun]

tbh

[plucky flax]

I like between 12~20

[upper sun]

im ok with extremes

[lethal lagoon]

clad is cooking again

[upper sun]

-8 and 40

not inbetweens

[plucky flax]

Wtf

[upper sun]

||im an extremist||

[plucky flax]

Insane bro

[upper sun]

i have allergies untless its burning hot or freezing cold

[lethal lagoon]

Having seasonal/pollen allergies seems like such a debuff

But it's not signifcant enough for people to actually care about your suffering

[upper sun]

currently 10c

or 50

[lethal lagoon]

10c is nice

[upper sun]

not cold enough

ive legit been sweating

[blissful solar]

my room itself is 29.61 C, outside is 36.6

it isnt fun

[upper sun]

hope ur fan gets overtime

my laptop lost a battery to the heat

F

[dapper dove]

Does scriers make guns count as warp attacks?

[lethal lagoon]

My house is 67f, but because of where my house's attic is, my room will be hotter and sometimes reach like 75-80

[lethal lagoon]

No.

[dapper dove]

Sadge

[crude cape]

ty!

[lethal lagoon]

I literally bought a window A/C for that reason

But it's a pain to set up because I didn't actually install it

[upper sun]

so

you just baught it

[lethal lagoon]

I just open the window and stick it outside a bit

Run it for like an hour

And then I"m fine for the rest of the day

[upper sun]

ah okie

nice

[lethal lagoon]

It's a pain though and I keep jamming my fingies

[upper sun]

personally if i got hot i just lay on the cold tiles a bit

they suck up the heat

[late yew]

eeeeh

Not that much fire damage from it

[upper sun]

🤔 EU?

[late yew]

?

[upper sun]

ur server

[late yew]

Why?

[upper sun]

i think i played with the first two other players

[lethal lagoon]

Blazing Trauma scales with densitiy, so if the level is too chill, like yours was based on the total damage of everyone, it won't do a lot of warpfire

[late yew]

not exactly very unique nicknames, but yes, eu

[late yew]

bruh

how Auric Damnation is chill

[upper sun]

called it

[lethal lagoon]

Some auric damns are chill

[upper sun]

its pretty chill

[lethal lagoon]

Some auric maels are chill

It just depends on RNG, the map, etc.

[upper sun]

no 284 green ragers = chill

[fresh reef]

is chainsword good for killing big bois?

[late yew]

Well we did kill about 300 elites

[upper sun]

chainsword isnt good

[lethal lagoon]

You can do "omae wa mou sinderu" on mutants with chainsword

[late yew]

psyker has access to 3 amazing melee weapons

[lethal lagoon]

Hit them with special, they keep running, and die far away

[late yew]

dueling sword, deimos, illisi

Why would you ever want to pick chainsword

[late yew]

or just one-shot them with DS or Deimos

[lethal lagoon]

It's game, the point is to be cool

[fresh reef]

wanted a weapon that can deal with big targets but didn't have access to Uncanny Strike

What about pump fake to do h2 special for swag point even though a h2 poke is going to kill it already

[lethal lagoon]

NGL, deimos animations look kinda dorky

Like you are a larping nerd using a sword too big for you

[late yew]

... or you can just one-shot with second heavy?

[late yew]

yeah ,that

no, not that

without special

[plucky flax]

It's too easy for me to do it.

I need to get my swag on.

[late yew]

You are dorky > : (

[lethal lagoon]

I mean probably, yeah.

[late yew]

that's not animations, that's model

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like anyone with 1k+ hours in a single game is dorky.

[late yew]

fuckn nerd 😎

[lethal lagoon]

Fuck.

[late yew]

i do, in fact, touch grass, yes

[lethal lagoon]

Stop it.

Stop touching plants without their consent

[native oyster]

Does this peril generation reduction also apply to the peril generated from scriers gaze itself?

[fresh reef]

it does

[wet belfry]

Yes but it doesn’t make it last much longer

[humble bolt]

New psyker skill tree sucks ass

[jovial juniper]

Gaze goes from 12 secs to 14 secs with this one

[fluid solstice]

Hello , is inferno force staff good ?

The fire is very slow and weak dmg

[lethal lagoon]

There you go, a more normal blaze trauma ranged vs warpfire damage

It really just depends on if there's even anything to light on fire

Plus if your team has too much horde clear, then of course there's less time for warpfire to tick

[jovial juniper]

It is
Get 76+ on burn stat

I mean it

Get one

Now

[late yew]

whatr the hell

show your build

[late yew]

NO

I love node that gives 40% reduction on peril generaiton

combine it with battery, and you barely produce any peril

can do whole wave without venting

[humble bolt]

Yes bro it sucks ass. My bill was perfect last patch and now they ruined it and added a bunch of these pussy ass easy mode skills for the shitters who can't stop exploding

[late yew]

now that particular talent is dumb, yeagh

But what exactly was ruined for you?

Which nods?

[blissful solar]

(total damage, it was a 40m:23s game) (maelstrom mission I-III-VII-F, Encalvum Baross, Damnation)

blaze trauma obv

[lethal lagoon]

40 minutes

But yeah that's the ratio

2.1k kills is wild, were you stuck at an event?

[blissful solar]

i dont really remember lol

[lethal lagoon]

Sure one sec

[blissful solar]

it was a while ago, but i dont think anything particularly out of the ordinary happened

[analog agate]

Something must have with a 40 min time. Nice kills though

[late yew]

wtf are those missions, i never had so many kills in 1 game

and i've been playing exclusively auric for more than a year

[blissful solar]

i think what it might be is that the teammates died and went down quite a lot

they apparently died 5 times between them all and went down 10 times between them all

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, if your teammates are dead it's really easy to get stuck in one spot because the game tries to kill you off

[blissful solar]

i, of course, you know...i went down and got killed 0 times....

[lethal lagoon]

I'd ask someone else for a build honestly, I go a bit dumb these days.

[late yew]

Ah

now it makes sense

more than half of your warpfire damage is from shriek

not from blaze

[lethal lagoon]

Not really

[late sapphire]

shriek and blaze cooperate

[blissful solar]

they both help hoenstly

[lethal lagoon]

No I know

but I'm usually pretty bad at shrieking after the blaze

[late sapphire]

12 stacks is enough to melt anything in a mixed horde

[late yew]

well i use shield

[lethal lagoon]

Oh

So you are special

[late sapphire]

womp womp

[blissful solar]

shriek might be slightly more than half but i dont think it's a gigantic difference

[late sapphire]

Shield sucks

Booo!

[late yew]

BRUH

HOW MORTE THAN HALF NOT A GIGANTIC DIFFERENCE

[blissful solar]

51% vs 49%

[late sapphire]

Half of half the damage

[late yew]

said meta bitch slave

[late sapphire]

I'm going to behead you with a rusty hatchet mmmkay

Shield sucks cause its boring

[late yew]

You won't

because as meta slave you won't find one

Shriek sucks because it is boring

[late sapphire]

Rusty hatchets are meta wdym

Yes thats also true

I run sg

Because i am great at everything

And not boring

Idk man shield is a lot like smite in that i can play it but i fall asleep 10 minutes in

[late yew]

how many stacks blaze can apply?

[late sapphire]

6 max

t4 is 4 per crit

shriek and pc are more or less uncapped

[late yew]

so basically shriek right after they ignite?

pc?

[late sapphire]

Perilous Combustion

[late yew]

Souldblaze on elite deaths?

[late sapphire]

Yes

[late yew]

I still don't remember any talent names

[late sapphire]

It's very good in maels

[late yew]

and i never will

Well duh, there is no build that does not have it

[late sapphire]

If you have a mixed horde you blast, shriek, at one crit that's 10 stacks, about 12 stacks kill gunners and the like

For mauler patrols for example you crit, shriek, kill 1 or 2 and the rest melt away

[late yew]

now what about wildfire

[late sapphire]

Wildfire sucks

[late yew]

i used it last game, but long ago it sucked

[late sapphire]

Distributes up to 4 stacks evenly, up to 4 stacks on the targets

The only value is feeding souldrinker

[late yew]

new crit talent?

[late sapphire]

5% toughness when a soulblazed enemy dies

[late yew]

bleh

why would you ever take it

[late sapphire]

also 5% crit, 1 stack max, when a soulblazed enemy dies

[late yew]

So you could just say yes

might be worth for crit

[late sapphire]

@lethal lagoon

it's a 2 point investment for 5%

Not really worth it imo but atlas is diagnosed insane

[lethal lagoon]

it brings back old shcool soul stealer

[wet belfry]

The fun part of shriek is seeing how much burn you can apply to enemies.

I had a moment earlier today where i managed to get over 30 elites killed in under 10s

Spamming the kill board can be fun.

[lethal lagoon]

Remenber how op 15% soulstealer was?

Well, now you can basically have 12.5

[late sapphire]

The best shriek moments are when you accidentally burn some enemies in the background

[lethal lagoon]

plus 10% melee spd is nico

[late sapphire]

Sometimes you pop a concentration stim and shriek three times in quick succession and suddenly a killed mauler x18 pops up

[wind spruce]

@lethal lagoon wanna do some souldrinker testing

[lethal lagoon]

I wanna drink your soul

But I mean I have it figured out as far as I can tell

[wind spruce]

Enjoy the diarrhoea

[wind spruce]

Oh have you now

Ya just gimme 10 min

Because I'm unconvinced

[lethal lagoon]

Wanna join up then?

It 100% procs of nonsoulblaze

kill

[wind spruce]

Ya just gimme 10 min

[lethal lagoon]

You have me added right? I'll just do a private, I'm playing with potato, so you can join when you are ready

[wind spruce]

I want to test the actual toughness gen component because I've definitely seen the crit not proc when I get a melee etc killing

[strong gulch]

Poops kept us in that little room.

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah that was rough

And came out of nowhere lmao

Suddenly couldn't move

[blazing drift]

guys anyone got a good assail build?

or at least a fun one

[lethal lagoon]

I mean it's possible the warpfire fell off

Right when you did the thing

[lethal lagoon]

I guess the easiest test is just have potato blaze trauma things while we watch.

[wind spruce]

It definitely procs off of another psyker getting soulblaze killing blows with their soulblaze. That I'm certain of.

[mental grail]

Real

hate using it

[lethal lagoon]

[wind spruce]

you in voice?

[lethal lagoon]

too late

[wind spruce]

😭

[lethal lagoon]

I'll hit you up in 20 or sooner lmao

[wind spruce]

sweet

[lethal lagoon]

@wind spruce @strong gulch

[lethal lagoon]

u getting in voice?

[wind spruce]

WHERE

[split lance]

Wow

But not me

Gonna cry

[lethal lagoon]

Get in

🫃

[wind spruce]

quickly or ill touch your bumhole

[lethal lagoon]

Now he'll take forever

[split lance]

I can’t

I thought I’d be free by now

But alas I was wrong

[flat moat]

How does the CC of a smite build compare to a inferno/shockwave trauma build?

[fiery wigeon]

smite is the strongest its ever been atm with how low you can get your peril gain

[cinder dock]

if your team is decent smite is super good.

[fiery wigeon]

stunning entire packs of ragers and crushers aside, empowered smite is pretty fantastic trash clear on its own

ive never used trauma staff though

so idk how they compare

[slow cloak]

Empyric resolve is the most broken talent in the game

Psykers are feasting

[fiery wigeon]

40% is so much

its bonkers

[slow cloak]

+36% from warp siphon and +15% from the other other 3 minor nodes and u get -91% peril in total

Fully charged secondary attacks from staves costs like 4% peril

[wind spruce]

peril reduction stacks multiplicatively not additively

[fresh reef]

am I doing this right if I wanted a melee that could fuck up any major threat in 3veg?

[blazing drift]

thanks!

[orchid ibex]

Does the toughness gen penalty seem noticeable on empyric resolve? I haven't messed with it yet, I typically don't like skimping on defenses.

[fresh reef]

very

[orchid ibex]

That's what I was afraid of

[meager hearth]

how do I build for right click electrokinetic/surge?

[orchid ibex]

@meager hearth There's one on the psyker atheneum steam guide that's a good place to start

[fiery wigeon]

yes but having more peril > more staff useage > more things die before they could ever damage you

[zinc phoenix]

Yes, very

You have to play extremely carefully with it in aurics

[orchid ibex]

That's definitely true but I still don't like the idea of a few bad hits in a short time frame just dropping me because my gen is slow

[stray mesa]

https://youtu.be/pwpjnjiXIcA Psyker seem Broken with new update

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve been doing an ER + SG melee build and its viable in aurics

But my god you make one positioning error and a pox walker will end your whole career

[fiery wigeon]

yeah

i dropped resolve from my melee build

still putting it on gunker and staffker

the massively extended gaze duration is very powerful I'm just skill issues lol

[orchid ibex]

It seems really strong for players who play very, very well

[zinc phoenix]

Just be cognizant of where team is and it’s totally fine

[fiery wigeon]

yes

[zinc phoenix]

I think you should use it for a while even if you think it’s tough. It teaches you a lot about position in a way something like an iron will voc vet never will

Plus it’s just dang good fun

[orchid ibex]

I likely will. I think I just tend to build a little more girthy on any character if I can

[fiery wigeon]

it 100% forces you to understand how to deal with and manage the stuff the game throws at you

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah building curios to have serious hp boost has been essential. I also take 2x 20% gunner and 1x 20% sniper

But again I am going for a very aggro melee style with it

[fiery wigeon]

yeah

i have two 18% health and a +1 wound on atm

gunners are a major problem

for meleeker

[zinc phoenix]

Wound is always bad to take

You’re better off having 20% more health than 1 wound

+3 stam is also very good

[orchid ibex]

I have hp toughness toughness, but I was thinking about adding stam in there instead

[restive slate]

Hello, returning Darktide player here.

Has there been any updates to Gun Psyker build? I heard Psyker can use shotguns now

[lethal lagoon]

There's a thingy where you can recover peril with crits on guns now

[orchid ibex]

We got a bolt pistol now too

[potent echo]

thingy

we always had bolt pistol though, but it was buffed to be actually good

[orchid ibex]

Oh and a cleave at high peril thing on the right side that rips with an assault rifle

[restive slate]

Well well well now that's interesting

Also how's the Taser thing on Psyker?

[eternal junco]

Smite?

you can shut down most human sized elites pretty much instantly and build peril quick

[restive slate]

Oh I meant the melee weapon

[eternal junco]

Shock maul?

[restive slate]

That's it

[eternal junco]

it's decent as a general use weapon

I still prefer tac axe/ds/knife/warp sword though

You have a lot of better options

[swift prawn]

MK IV - dump is Mobility or Cleave?

[restive slate]

Tac Axe decent now? Last I heard it got nerfed

[eternal junco]

it's always been decent

You just have to know how to use it

[eternal junco]

Always mobility

[orchid ibex]

I actually like the rashad too, if you give it brutal momentum and headtaker to get through hordes

[eternal junco]

Rashad is also good

[swift prawn]

oh rly? i thought cleave for a bit ngl

[orchid ibex]

I did cleave on my ds4, it's an anti elite weapon for me so I'm not worried about cleave

[eternal junco]

cleave helps when you need to clear out groups of lights that are right up in your face

You could drop it and probably be fine but mobility doesn't really do anything either

[orchid ibex]

I mainly use it on my voidburst setup, so my staff is what I use on hordes

[swift prawn]

i was thinking of going voidstrike+mk4

thoughts?

[eternal junco]

both do basically the same thing

ds4 pairs best with trauma or purgatus

[high pecan]

is there a coat for psyker without the giant collar or is it there for story purposes?

[swift prawn]

does anyone have perhaps a good tree for assail psyker after the updates? havent played for nearly a year

[eternal junco]

assail kinda just works with anything

It's good horde clear with a recharge

Can handle long range elites fairly well

It's just good at patching up a build's weaknesses

[orchid ibex]

It's a good option for fishing DD stacks as well

I do that on my gun build

[eternal junco]

true

I wish psykers keystones weren't so unreliable

[swift prawn]

@eternal junco can i drop you a screen in dm and you'd tell me what you think and why?

[eternal junco]

sure

[swift prawn]

sent

[lethal lagoon]

@split lance Your perception of time is as flawed as you are flawless.

[orchid ibex]

Disrupt destiny is pretty reliable on my gun setup but I absolutely have to take the 10 second stacks and the 3 stacks on headshots

The others I kind of don't pay attention to half the time

I just let them do their thing I guess

[worn beacon]

Why are people crazy over the electro staff lmbs?

I mean I checked one build from the atheneum about the lmbs

And didn't feel all that better than the rmb spam

Maybe it's just me?

[thorn cedar]

Electro has a Crit Bonus mod so the left clicks ... well, crit more.

That's it, that's the entire reason.

[worn beacon]

Wow

That's

Really underwhelming

Maybe I'll really just stick to rmb spam lmao

[flint spear]

lmb surge staff will be averaging 65% crit rate w/o gaze

now throw a surge on it

[fresh reef]

do you guys think Deimos, compared to DS4, is a balanced weapon relatively speaking?

[worn beacon]

I get that it's strong

[fresh reef]

and why, if so

[worn beacon]

It's just darktide ping makes my lmbs also delayed

And it's nightmare to use them

[orchid ibex]

Deimos is fantastic, particularly against single targets

[fiery wigeon]

me who just uses illisi and ds2:

[flint spear]

deimos has the slaughterer so it's horde clearance is not gonna suck ass like DS4

[orchid ibex]

True!

I forgot that

[mossy oyster]

is a Deimos melting a pack of 5 crushers even half as fast as a DS4

[fresh reef]

I've been using Superiority and Unstable for the express purpose of deleteing ogryns

it fun

[fresh reef]

no?

I think?

[mossy oyster]

Deimos is good

it’s not ridiculous

like the ds4 is

[fresh reef]

I'm glad

I can now carry with a build that doesn't have stupid overpowered elements in it

[worn beacon]

So what's difference between DS4 and knife mk3 in grand scheme of things lmao
