@lethal lagoon we did that on purpose right?

I think we should have just left them dead and tried to kill the boss honestly
I got downed trying to grab one, sigh
i thought you were not attacking the boss to see what would happen?
thats what i was doing
That's like top 5 worse rooms for a psyker
the top 1 is a shower
also my internet is fucking up

i cant play anymore today


The shower rooms on that one map aren't that bad /s
which come to think of it
you would think Nurgle would order those showers obliterated
he just filled the water pump system with piss
Nurgle is based and understands how damaging excessive showers can be to your skin microbiome.
combat knife still uncanny + fleshtearer?
Nice try nurgling 

the benefit of low warp resistance is more peril buildup?
si
i need people
Do you like my art?
i want to play

booger frog
Could drop FT for Riposte or Precognition
@upper sun club go play
no soap and hes cool with it
no soap, and only baths in stagnant pools
If you splash around too much, and make the pool less stagnant, straight to jail.
i would but i serve chaos
hail corn mfers
BOIS NEW GPU IS FINALLY IN
Why dump blast radius on Voidstrike?
bc it doesnt do very much
the explosion on the orbs isn't very important
it screws up headshots

Come to us
And join some corn
OR WE WILL SACRIFICE YOUR FIRSTBORN
well shes about to eat dinner so unfortunately it'll have to be the sacrifice option
and by that i mean you can try but i have mastered the combat knife with a billion clicks and have the power of corn so clearly your attempt will fail
That's horrific, I love it.
Now i just finally need to set up my emote server
Yes beloved
Charged Strike Skullcrusher Hammerblow Dclaw 1 wasn't a good idea
Bro Charged Strike is such a letdown
HI FROGCAST
Oh wise chat, what are the inferno staff blessings.
it’s just so peak
charged strike needs to either stun the first target hit or apply more stacks of electrocute
or both
i just work here
blaze away nexus is the clear meta
Like not even clos
pen flame no good?
i disagree with nexus
I disagree with your entire existence
crits on flamer/purg aren’t really that valuable
Blaze away pen flames.
Or whatever that blessing is called for purg staff.
explode
🤓
There's at most a use case for melee maelstrom to where crushers can at least eventually die by your fire
But a very strong eventually.
It has minimal application elsewhere, and it's fundementally not that high of a percent to matter.
Nexus adding extra warp fire stacks, and now extra flat damage in the form of crits for blaze away, is way more valuable.
You'll literally melt things.
I guess if you are really lazy/bad at edging....

skill issue
Thank you!
Plus the crit reliant nodes like EE and mettle.
Is it a skill issue if you miss the part where I implied you had a skill issue


Also supporting your team is lame

Why would I take a skill that lets my team do slightly more damage, like pobably 2.7% more.
That's 2.7 too much
I need less.
Ew old scoreboard

I haven't played EP smite in a while, and unironically, I have gotten decently better at the game.

Brain cell loss from EP smite confirmed.
either works
bzzzt
finding out that the flame pen brittleness was capped at 20% was the world's biggest disappointment
like why take it on either flame thrower when it still barely does anything even with full stacks when both of them have other amazing options
also no showstopper change is criminal because it has the possibility to be very fun if it wasn't so garbage
they don't count or do breakpoints
they only sometimes do (or rather shuffle points around)
that's for yearly updates
then 10 darktide contentmen spam "omg we're so back best option nerf incoming" for a couple of months
I guess they realized when it wasn't capped that it was obviously way too strong but limiting it to less than 1 stack of uncanny was baffling
Hear me out
You see the vision right
Sure I don't have the strikedown to bank on Skullcrusher
But psykers don't have that many scrusher option
So I would cleave through targets
Apply smite
And the debuff
Then just heavy away
The worst talent of 2024
I just can't get used to dclaw
it’s very fun

It's the most miserable gaming experience I ever had
when clad made me use dclaw and the double barrel
It feel like a wet paper noodle
I'm so so so very disappointed with Charged Strike

And no
Dclaw doesn't have Pstrike
So I guess I'm just going back to shock maul and their 11 cleave on heavies
"but you can deal with ragers!!!!"
Oh well
Time to test Thunderous charged strike Orestes 12
does surge affect trauma staff secondary?
Nah
I mean if surge worked on either surge staff or trauma, they'd have to completely rebalance the staves.
And if they are balanced around surge existing, then the weapons will be forced to use surge
It kinda meshs with voidstrike pretty well
i wish it'd just amp the projectile up
The stimms pickup noise in the meat grinder kinda reminds me of lego games.
Wow. Med packs get bright and the beep is annoying af.
Get on
Get on
in game 😄
Am available
Bathroom then I'll be in vc
Also if someone random joins, just say we are full lmao
I like having a pub or two
We're playing animal crossing. gtfo
YOU PLAY ON CONTROLLER
Yep, you are losing to a controller darktide player
(obviously not, but that would be fucking hilarious)
Harold is 234.
@split lance
WUT
234
oh my level
Ima restart my PC, this is annoying.
anyone still playing
wildfire over pykinetics?
meme trauma

I agree that dclaw does kinda feel like a feather tickle, it's weird
heavy sword is dclaw but better
Something about the animation and the lack of oomph + low damage even in hordes
It's reverse
Learn to parry, smh my head
parry damage is underwhelming tbh and everything else the weapon has is ass
it's fun v bosses tho
Parry is great not because of damage but because of its defensive ability when combined with KD
psyker melee is so depressing when ur not using ds or fsword guhhh
si
Like, parry lets me unscrew the worst situations
I. Forgot how squishy psykers are. Waow.
I straight up took like three shots and that was it.
The only thing I'm missing is the ability to parry bullets
I just don't get hit usually. ;_;
oh yeah, it's gunking time
Psyker gaming
gonna gunk all over the place

what on earth is that tree
What gunker does to a psyker
(this is a joke)
classic gunker playstyle
you should really switch to kinetic presence to pick up unlucky for some
gun gets pulled out for major threats like bosses, otherwise gunner and shooter packs get deflector + ascendant blaze
Soyker is tankiest char
Except maybe funni yelling vet
ogryn just needs a better talent tree
it's very strange the nerfs ogryns get considering the power level of the other classes
I mean Ogryns aren't hurting
true
I could get perfect rolls but I'm lazy
eh fuck it, may as well
warp res and stability are the dumps yeah?
I love stability on the laspistol I would def drop mobility
but muh sprint speed
lowering that spread for hip fire shots is nice
feels so good being able to laser heads without ads
aight
got some grays, now I just need to farm more plasteel
peak
(this cost me 2.5k plasteel)
i cant believe they gave thrust ds to zealots
idk why the other 2 classes got to keep 2 exclusive melees and we only ended up with 1
hsword psyker isnt even good too
let me shovel zealot 
Erm in high diff its usually right side blazeaway builds
it's pretty good on vet at least
there is no way there's more gungryns than there are heavy hitters
also a wild claim for a tree that needed 15% more damage added in for free in the last update
I died twice in my last game because the other psyker's kinetic flaying kept popping bursters he was pushing. >.>
Was he using force push?
yea gonna have to get used to steering clear of bb psykers when you hear beeping from now on lol
I assume he was
because they do damage
Or he was just attacking them and I misinterpreted it
But either way, he ran up to them and they exploded. Repeatedly
KF just shouldn't proc on bursters at all.
Would be nice
that would be nice
I really wonder why force sword pushes even deal damage when they literally hit for single digits
is literally 1 damage

force sword push attack only beast of nurgle fight when
you can buff it up to 2 damage it's pretty OP doubling your dps
I'd be impressed by someone doing that even in the psykhanium with the AI turned off, lmao
pub quickplay moment (no im not the one dying)
insta reroll along with books lol
Even if you're good enough to eliminate any and all threats before any member of your team is threatened for the entire mission, a pub will find a way
Idk, I think scriptures are fine
It's grims that are 
it's just too much work for me when everything else just happens automatically
I don't think I even see 16 scrips in a week just qping tbh I would have to seek out book missions
Just play more 
So we just did a 3 purg run melee maelstrom, I put on pentrating flames. There was literally no difference when I died, crushers died about the same speed.
this penance is making me actively psychotic
I just, I never have the right angle, or for some reason they ignore the vent or the shove
I don't get it man
I swear that one was glitched out for a long time and I just got it randomly
Need higher peril for higher stagger
I think you can use Smite. The push at the end sends them whatever direction you're facing. Pretty sure that's how I got it accidentally, by turning 90° and throwing them off a bridge
does crystalline will actually work? me and friends still seem like we are blowing up from peril overload?
it works, you still blow up, just you don’t go down
haven’t seen anyone else complaining about it not working
whats a good assail psyker build?
Yeah, found evidence. Hate how this guy uses Smite, but it shows it ding
https://youtu.be/SiZp4X8YQww?si=9_-gKrDKbCCcdy32
This is the psyker penance where you have to knock some enemies off of a ledge. Did not expect to get it that easily. I guess the enemies jumped off on their own and my smite killed them while they were doing it.
yes 
does anyone have a good assail build?
What are you trying to use?
I'd do Illisi force sword, shock staff, assail and go mostly right side
After playing with pen flame pub psykers, I can say it's great support 
Gunker would also probably work well, actually
Double creeping to 26 stacks and combo with my trauma kills crushers hordes pretty fast
Also with another brittleness source you can stack it to 60% lol
Or when I'm using bolt pistol I can easily get 1-2shot on crushers
My point is pen flame doesn't help with that.
You are just experiecning double psyker flames
It makes almost no difference.
It does reduce my trauma BP by 1 
Although this is pubs supporting me, which I approve
Me support pubs Nuh uh
Btw I’ll be back. Just taking out the trash
Then how will you be back?

:BoogerFrog:


In 5min. Silly guy

Silly atlas
any interesting new psyker specs since Locked & Loaded?
Inspect weapon and stats 
yez
mobility, some prefer cleave damage iirc
came to say thanks to psyker brain burst being a thing
Lmao I actually got that with a gun (praise me)
That's so cheese lol
Almost 70% crit rate on voidstrike. Hehehehehe
Thanks for the games @lethal lagoon and @split lance
opinions on shield?
It's overall a comfort pick. You sacrifice damage and other utility to take it.
Shield is never a bad choice. But it's also not often the best choice.
shield is goated, you sacrifice a bit of damage for the ability to just turn your brain off every 30 seconds even on the highest diff
It's great on maps like the train one, but for the most part good positioning means you don't need it. It bad bubble placement and compromise the team's position.
i play with friends and we tend to play the game in coherency and stuff, not super good at the game but i like to get """optimized""" builds anyway for our auric runs. so yeah im trying to decide how to build
There is double wall that can boost EP BB with KR.
i path into shield since i always run right-side staff and the peril + point cost (warp unbound) of scrier's isn't worth it for my build
Optimized usually does not pick bubble.
Venting Shriek honestly feels safer for me than shield. The on-demand stagger lets me get out of a lot of bad places
well yeah
hence the quotes lol
yeah but its fairly selfish imo
Also it saves me from blowing myself up, which is important. I am not always great at managing peril.
i wanna have the best selfless build i can
Not really. With Creeping Flames you can clear a room, get enemies off a downed ally, stagger enemies coverging on an ally, etc.
You can undog teammates through walls and on a different level. You can also kill a room of scattered shooters which can end a whole run with shreik / creeping flames.
Yeah, Shriek goes through walls and cover afaik
I use it a lot to bully shooters and gunners
30 meters I think
You can yell at a flamer or bomber to stop it.
yea you use it all the time to aggro stuff in the next room to force it down a choke
Plus on higher difficulties, Psykinetic's Aura means it's up like every 10 seconds
A pack of elites at your front and a horde coming up from behind; you can just yell at the horde and make it go away.
the counter point to that is that a dome shield basically shuts down, flamers, bombers, trappers, and snipers + gives your whole team a ton of free toughness
There's a League of Legends video from like 15 years ago with a quote along the lines of, "If they dead, they controlled"
Creeping Flames Shriek controls enemies
Yeah. Shield is never unwelcome.
Hey siblings, what does my beloved mean by this?
Came here to ask the same question
means fatshark can't count
Means your Beloved thinks you need to try harder to unlock more blessings
Blows up blessings with mind
Join me, siblings. We must combine our powers and our wills. We must bend reality to our design
We must force the Electrokinetic Staff to have Surgical
I want to have thrust on it
Throw down Electrokinetic. Voidstrike superiority.
I agree, but the joke had to be made
Voidstrike with surgical and surge would be fuckin disgusting
For meme build
Oh, hm. When did they nerf True Aim? For a while it gave stacks for each headshot you got in a single attack.
Now it seems to be one stack per attack
"Cleaving attacks (e.g. Voidstrike Staff charged shots into density) can accumulate up to five weakspot stacks at once but do not consume the guaranteed crit right away. "
Chain axe fun on Psyker?
The recent crafting update.
It doesn't seem to be in the patch notes
I was whelmed. It exists.
Patch notes and this game don't always explain what changes. 
Rude of them
Same with mettle nerf
Wait, how did mettle get nerfed?
Also illisi special stroke. 😭
Yeah, not being able to stroke my illisi makes me sad.
It only procs once per attack now. It used to be on hit. Huge trauma toughness regen nerf.
First they nerf my crit Zealot, now they nerf my crit Psyker
Purg was also hit, but as long as you have sererval enemies, it still super fills toughness back up.
I use Voidstrike/Purg with crit-heavy builds
If you go over 100% crit chance, triple balls? 
I might be converting into a illisi gaze main, do I seek help 
Yes
Truck nuts are quaking.
Chance that any given attack will do bonus Critical Hit Damage.
Values over 100% have a chance to become Big Critical Hits (orange), and over 200% have a chance to become Super Critical Hits (red).
—In-game Description
in todays day n age
Um what?
red crits are garbo
I haven't played Warframe since 2021, so I am not sure the meta
The game is telling you to take a break and take a shower.
Soap Bubble psyker deals pyschic damage
first match of the game
so im thinking i want one fairly meta shriek smite build, and another filthy casual shield build with whatever
where might one find deez?
Wouldn’t bother checking in your room tbh
deez nutz
My problem with Warframe's red crit system is that it isn't exponential
You crit twice and only get a doubled crit, not a crit multiplied by a crit
it used to be better
oh god the power creep would get so much worse if it was like that
yeh
when people are fighting over how to most efficiently get through the hardest content rather than just how to survive it, im concerned
tbf the hardest content can now be learned in a day and thats if it wasnt already ruined
i used to speedrun spider, and damn that thing got hit so many times but literally nothing
Eh, I like Warframe for throwing off the facade of difficulty
just updates that ruined unintentional parts of the games
It was never a difficult game
finding it funny how psyker darktide chat is about powercreep in warframe
especially while ep smite lmb build exists in this game
it wasnt
but at least before you would have to put in effort to get to max level if u were gonna go off meta
now you can get it in an hour holding left click
I mean nobody here likes smite in the way that it is 
yeah i guess im mostly just saying if you wanna complain about power creep
you dont need another game for it
lmb builds make me laugh bc its just smite
The real problem with Warframe imo is that it only knew how to make things unfair, not difficult. That's why it couldn't be a difficult game.
you lost at meta and smite
idfk what im talking about honestly
I enjoy Warp Splitting Voidstrike on the train map.
i want a not-cringe meta build ig
then dont play smite lmao
although that doesnt exclude ep smite because unlimited power
You may not like it but smite is peak performance.

smite game play is stand there stun locked with a garden hose vs a horde
sounds fun gimme it
as they all die, yes
EP + shriek boi
mm yes they die to that joosea 9 dps smite
EP + shriek, boi
Or do you not know of that combo
You can have your opinion but don't mistake it for fact
Tell that to the inquisition
No, they scary
Thats what I thought 😉
inquisition delusions do not change truth
lemme smite 🐦⬛
They say as they que up a smite build
Plenty of people, myself included have, 1mil boards with EP smite shriek 
And EP smite got a massive indirect buff this patch.
bozo
It DPSes the entire map at a rate of 1/8 Rager's HP per second
meanwhile soul blaze/voidstrike builds hitting 1.4M +
I mean show me a non-melee mael under 35 minutes with 1.4 mil

Also, in case you forgot, you have to aim voidstrike lmao
Where do you think kills come from...
Clearly you ask them nicely duuh
This is the worst part of new patches lmao
indeed manners didnt make man the Emperor did
i mean would you rather 1 kill because you put 10k into one guy, or 0 kills because you dispersed 20k across 100k guys
damage does not equal kill count
plus armor and all that
which frankly is not helping the smite argument
and i recognize that
That comparison makes 0 sense. I aleady said it did 1/8th of a Rager's HP per second, to the entire map.
this is the biggest cope ive ever heard of lmao
You caught on quick enough that you should not be this confused.

heresy
it is heavily exaggerated but im trying to just get the point across in my extremely tired stupor that kills dont come from damage alone
its focused damage that kills
base smite =stun lock garbo, invested smite is literally melt everything in 8 seconds
Anyways, I have no interest in more people running EP smite shriek, so I don't actually care to argue anymore.
With that in mind, I shouldn't have said anything

smite is cool though so im trying to find where the builds are be
Smite is shit, don't run it.
what if you could do what smite does with a purge and have bubble for your team at the same time 🤔
no no no, that makes too much sense
purge doesn't kill ragers as fast /hj
Blaze Away kinda changed that
why would you ever take bubble on fire staff?
because people don't know what overcapping with creeping flames is
what else would you take
smite and bubble, then cry in a corner of failure
shriek.....................................
creeping flames vent cause you can overstack
Imagine not running 22 soulblaze stacks
shriek?????

purge doesnt build peril fast enough for it be worth it
SEE
it doesnt need too silly
get less peril cure
This is you to me
shriek at 30 or so peril and everyhting dies
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
don't take BM if you are taking warp charges for example
and don't take warp resistance warp charges either, take the toughness gen side
It doesn't matter how fast you build peril with Purg, you can just keep it at 60-80 with 0 effort.
assuming ur actually aiming at enemies
30? dont you mean 50+?
no. no i dont
Do not shriek below 83.33 unless it's an emergency and you need knockback
^ flithy warpfire stealer

lmao
with purg everything will die very quickly at 15 stacks so the faster you get there the faster everything dies
ive been saving shriek for 100 because penance
yea 83% which purge can absolutely earn jsut stop taking BM + warp charge peril resist
im sitting in a towel soaking wet
if you wait till 84 peril to shriek on purg chances are everything is already dead bc i killed it
smh smh
i mean yea

nah I just go into the dryer with my dog
very warm and cozy
thats only bulwarks and crushers, everyhting else getes melted
Oh I thought Dryker was some European after shower drying invention
But you were just making a joke
And now I wasted a google search
AHAHA
when mistakes bare sweet fruit 😂
You don't understand my longing for a way to quickly dry after a shower
No one understands.
hair dryer
Not enough
preheat the oven before you shower
why would you ever be below 80% peril with venting shriek anyways
I remember going into one of thsoe money arcade machines just for the airflow.
you want to be edging peril on every psy build outside of smyker for a free 20% damage
They have these at the water park at Hersheypark. Never actually used one
If I could fit that in my house without blowing a fuse, and it was under 3k, I honestly might.
Can someone explain to me how he's quelling like 13% in such a short time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orJSyVui3YE&t=190s
You can see the new talents and what they do (and don't) in detail in The Psyker Atheneum:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
0:00 - Stat priority, perks and blessings
1:08 - Talent build
3:10 - Staff usage strategy
3:42 - Alternate safer talent options for learning the staff
5:10 - Mission Start
33:34 - Mission End
I have the same build, same staff, same everything
But in that amount of time I only quell like 7%
Do you have the same peril display mod?
The base game displays peril weird
Don't remember
true peril or peril gauge
I didn't know the base game was weird with peril
you quell in discrete amounts, but the game applies some visual interpolation to make it go down smoothly
Is it interpolation or extrapolation?
What's the fastest way to get wep mastery?
Upgrade greens
interpolation if you're smoothing between two known values
also very important sac the same weapon type you want to level it gives 6x xp
It takes like what, 30-35 greens to hit 20 mastery?
Cause I've been running 25 flak 25 unyielding
Maybe 40.
On veteran, more crit means less ammo used. Dunno about gunker
33 greens to level 19 iirc
use Peril Guage the Mod creator for both said Guage does what True Peril does + more
I shall download Peril Gauge and become yet more powerful
Cause I've been doing flak and unyielding
vraks too
Whys it good on vet?
Vet doesn't have true aim
But I don't actually know if it's good or not
That's just my assumption
also lasgun talent for free shots
it's for the lasgun talent
Psyker also has higher base crit
if you don't have that it isn't worth
So with the crit string and true aim
5% crit is just not worth it
25% damage type is better
I was sad to learn TrueAim and Mettle got stealth nerfed.
mettle got loud nerfed
I missed it in the patch notes, then
it was in the patch notes unless it was changed even more
No I mean the nerfs, by their very nature, don't effect guns.
Oh
you were talking to him
Erm, I guess they effect shotguns
So just buy greens from Brunt or
Buy Greys > Make green > Sac
What perks are good for the vraks
is combat ability regen on curio overkill for scryers?
I don't play Gunker, so the nerfs do affect me. D:
That's the old columnus right?
Ye
I've been running maniac flak death spitter dum dum
Unyielding is a personal choice
Unyieldings only really great for bosses no?
og gunner and bulwark
Oh right bulwarks
Death spitters better than fire frenzy right?
Nein?
Cause strength > damage iirc
Thank you. I already downloaded it and am testing it
No? Oh shit
I do not think I want the bar. I prefer just the %
Unless there was a change.
Idk I remember strength like boosted damage and cleave and other damage types
You can customize it too its very nice to keep your HuD streamline and tidy
I prefer fire frenzy
Which was better than just close damage
yea power is better than damage but death spitter is only 1 stack
10%x5 close damage clears it
It stacks up to 5
deathspitter does stack; the description is a lie
It just doesn't say
Yeah, I've customized it down to just the %
yo
So 50% close damage or 32.5 strength
wild that they just never changed that
the str
strength
Ty ty
str is damage, cleave, and stagger, and also buffs warpfire
So death spitter > fire frenzy?
si
Just to make it absolutely clear
if it actually stacks then yea
Sick thanks
whats the dump stat for electro staff?
What do you think of 5% crit on Surge Voidstrike and/or Purg? I run it on both, since crits give either Surge procs or double Soulblaze. It works pretty well for me, I think
My Flurry/Nexus Voidstrike is Flakiac rather than crit
yea its good on both
Isn't it always warp res
I think crit? But I'm not sure
not crit
TIL
nah I meant on the staff itself
crit is a very good stat
Not worth, 25% damage is too overwhelming.
Crit Bonus was the dump stat on Surge staff before
yes
Hm. I shall ponder this. I've been using 5% crit on both for ages.
Ponder the orb
what do you use if not flak/crit on a purg?
I have maniac/crit. I imagine flak is better, since I can't reasonably hit specials with purg
I think it was Maniac/Crit because I built this before the itemization rework and was locked with it
a lot of chests are flak which will boost the warpfire damage
Does soulblaze count only against torsos? Interesting
I'll swap it to flak and see how it goes.
all dots use the torso for the damage type
I did not know this
it mostly matters for maulers and the scab trash troopers
A majority of my weapons are 380+s from before the rework, so they have some suboptimal perks/blessings
@lethal lagoon YoU LiEd To MoI! I just bought and upgraded 20 electro staffs for my electro mastery and it gave me only 6 levels!
I think I will keep Maniac on my Voidstrike to poke specials. Still debating if I want to swap crit chance for flak. I imagine it would help, but I'm not really having issues with any enemies as it stands
What?
Are you sure you bought the right staff?
I bought electro staffs to upgrade electro staff mastery
And you sacrificed 20 green staves?

I'm fairly certain it's not supposed to work that way.
are you 100% sure you did eletro to electro?
I'ma go test it again right now
I know you said 30-35 but I could only had enough gold for 20
Electrokinetic is Surge/Nexus Flakiac, yes?
You shall learn in time
was it giving 6k per?
didnt check just fed them all
I know for a fact I bought electro staffs aswell because Ive never played it and need make one so I was also looking for a good base to craft
and yes in 20 rolls not a single good one dropped lol
If you are looking for inherent good rolls those are still incredibly rare. I’d say it takes 20-30 purchases to find a potential god roll though
Maybe less
Stares at my inventory that took 5 rolls each 👀
So thats where the luck went
worth trade

I’m back to playing Darktide. Diablo got boring and the ancestral rolls are crap
So for Surge/Nexus/Shriek Voidstrike, you would recommend Flakiac instead of Flak/Crit or Maniac/Crit? I guess the loss of 5% crit isn't too huge, since I'm usually sitting like 58-65% crit on missions.
with a blaze away purg staff what charge level are you supposed to be using? I feel like it's better to just barely charge it now because it staggers way more
Flak/crit chance or maniac is what I would do. Usually you don’t take crit chance but on surge build it can be worth it. You at least want flak
on a voidstrike I go flak/carapace although I guess I haven't played with it since the true aim nerf
damn testing it out in the psykanium that is a very noticeable nerf
On nm. I thought you were asking electronstaff for some reason. Flak/carapace is what I do
does the true aim nerf also effect guns that pen multiple enemies or is it purely a staff nerf?
oh yea looks like it's a nerf to multi pen guns as well
that really sucks for shotties which are already not great
I run crit chance on voidstrike surge. Carapace and maniac are probably both better choices.
It's mainly a void/assail nerf
I tried Flakiac. Went fairly well.
Dogs bullied me.
49.5% ranged crit chance, which is weirdly closer to 10% lower than usual instead of 5%
Dogs bullied you on smite build?
what does flakiac mean?
+Flak/+Maniac damage perks
I am also a person who agonizes over marginal gains when building any character in any game. So honestly meaningless decisions like "+ crit chance or + maniac damage" keep me up for hours.
in that case
2 points to take kinetic deflection
or 2 points to grab more Warp Siphon mods
which one?
Soulblaze build
Getting 35% movement speed boost from mettle. And the Scrier’s gaze node. May not be mandatory or good
But I have zoomies and it’s fun
Flak unyielding.
Was never the dump stat.... 
Always gave the same amount of bonus crit chance.
you can pick KD for survivability
or keep going on keystone stuffs for more power
Dumping crit bonus has always been under contention here.
There is diminishing returns, but also 80 crit bonus is like a crit chance perk.
what staff? purg?
honestly i think of KD as 1 point because a lot of builds have me wanting the 5% crit anyways
BUT now with ER, I say dump warp resist on surge even more.
I am 100% sure that this chat told me crit like 6 months ago
And praised me for getting a god roll with 380 w/ 60% crit
Yeah, that's one of those stats that's starts fights here. Depending who is on at the time will yield a different answer.
i would have never agreed with dumping crit
same
I am also very dumb.
sounds like trolling
The psyker guide did recommend crit bonus as dump stat.
But I always called that sus.
iirc dumping crit will costs you about 6% crit damage on secondary
The crit damage is just a bonus. It's the crit chance that matters.
60% vs 80% is like 4% crit chance extra.
60% dmg vs 80% is like ~620 vs 660 base damage
Dump the staff
76 x5
Sounds like a unicorn 

I honestly wouldn't reject a bucket stat surge staff
trying to hit breakpoint with this thing legitimately makes me want to explode myself
i love the balls on fatshark, they have the gall to advertise a community commissar build but not provide us with a quality commissar outfit
I'm in the top 100% of psykers, that's why I'm always correct 
am i a top 1% 
if you think about it, 99% of people in the world don't play darktide, so that makes me a top 1% darktide player
I guess I'll keep Flakiac on my Voidstrike for now. Fewer pewpew surge procs, but I definitely feel like I am having an easier time killing elites/specials when Surge isn't going off.
No.
.1%v?

.01%?
Reject surge, embrace the ole classic flurry/nexus

iirc the max dps belongs to flurry/surge
Surge with trueaim surgical psyker 
A double ball at the right spot will end any bad situation
I usually recommend at least keep maniac damage for reliably oneshotting flamers, or you'll need a crit headshot to oneshot them
or if you're fine with flamer rolling around with a bit of health left it's up to you
With DD you can oneshot them without maniac
yep that's a good point too
I'm shocked 
It was only charged strike, dun worry
Void and DD feel so great together
Nah, I get too many bodyshots off void for it to feel good for me
Fatshark, make it a weakspot hit over bodyshots if ball touches both plz
So it doesn't feel good to you because like 20% of the keystone sometimes isn't active?
well and the short duration, and constantly hunting for glowie boi or weakspot hits
Imagine if you dropped all your damage stacks whenever you used your combat ability, you'd really hate that keystone
Don't run short duration or hunt for glowie boys?
Imagine if your damage ability let you easily get all the stacks back 
You mean like DD? Yeah pretty sick
I run long duration
Then it's absolutely fine. Just play the game and you'll stay at full stacks most of the time
Eh, no. I find that to be untrue. You absolutely have to go hunting or have the weakspot node.
Yes... you absolutely should be running the weakspot node lmfao. That trend needs to stop.
if ball touches balls it's a weakspot
Double blue balls.
Surge balls
and then my balls will always register as body shots 😭
can always just farm guaranteed headshots with melee if need be and make sure to look in the direction of human patrol enemies so that marks chain into other enemies in your view angle
Clear a small bruiser pack with stabs to the head? Easy 15 stacks
(Not if you goofed and forgot the weakspot node)
Is there a bug with the stacks little buff image on the bottom? I swear for one game after messing with it it'll show up then after that it never does.
Eh dd is good but warp charges are never a bad choice
Yes, sometimes the stacks don't show up but they're still working
Especially with CDR and warp resistance its pretty well rounded
Word, figured
Ty
Warp charges absolutely is a bad choice sometimes
the downside of dd is your teammates will kill steal 99% of your targets and piss you off
eh, if they're good enough to nuke entire auric mixed horde before I can do anything then I have no complaints anyway
I like dd but honestly it's kinda just as mid as warp charges is. There's less damage potential directly from wc but with cdr factored in and resistance it's really hard to put a direct x is better than y on it unless running a specific build that would clearly benefit more from dd like gunker or one that would clearly benefit more from warp charges like smite/surge
Its great that they made it feasible tho. Before it was just a straight up meme lmao
It wasn't bad before the stack fall off change either, just took more attention to maintain. now you can pretty much forget about maintaining stacks at all
Ramping the stacks back up was always the shit part tho. It's not a matter of being hard to maintain in combat but loosing them all because you stop to hit a med station was trash
you usually get them back quick enough during horde, but stacks falling off during boss is kinda painful
though between gaze DD and pre-nerf columnus, most boss shouldn't even last until you reload
Where with warp charge it was just clearly easier to maintain uptime regardless. Surge really benefits from warp charges heavily and that's the only staff I really like anyway. Voidstrike feels too much like dollar store plasma, trauma just weird and flame staff is just fucking boring
My main go to lately tho has been recon with ilussy for bossing and horde clear respectively and bubble with brain burst for crushers just to run something different
And with shields you pretty much need the extra cdr from warp charges otherwise it feels Hella clunky
I've got about 30 missions left to go to finish all penances for Psyker and I've yet to find something I enjoy.
Assail, DD, and dueling was fun for a bit tho
Yeah one of my builds is recon, assail, dd with shriek because I am dumb as hell with the assail spam sometimes and shriek is good to fall back on plus is devastating
The fun starts at 3 billion missions ran with psyker, duh
skippable with 10s stacks imo
New gaze with unbound assails just feels so right
plus i do not have points to spare
I'm a bolt pistol main now 
Gazer assail or creeping flames assail both gud.
Huh I play bistol with creeping flames tho.
Bistol probably works better with creeping
Bistol supremecy. 
Gaze doesn't do much for bistol
Creeping flames helps alot with chaff when running assail and ds4
Guns are for nerds
Can't even use quell on crits because of the rof lol
smh my head
Nah I'm a gun main now wooooo
I play everything just haven't made voidstrike vid cos it's boring.
(Worst staff currently)
Voidstrike is fun if you play melee style 
how dare you
It's tru. 
I'm really obsessed with the recon 6 tho lol
Maybe next patch adds new staves
how dare you
how dare you
I do the least damage with void by far across 4 staves.
You need somthing/ways to "guarantee" your DD stack
otherwise you will keep KS by an ogryn who sniping Kickback from far
Imagine only caring about number go up
Burga is so cracked now with blaze away.
Perhaps
It's 2nd best for me.
Purga is Hella high damage its just a fucking snooze fest
Also strike does more damage than trauma generally speaking, unless you're carrying the team so hard they're doing literally nothing
Can confirm trauma gets super high scores if your team can't horde clear 
I am pretty aggressive trauma player so I am always up front blasting stuff.
But same goes for buger
Well voidstrike just wants hallways 🤷♂️
There's only a few maps I feel good playing void.
I've been playing with the forbidden lmb talents and they're pretty fucking cool with surge tbh
Fair but not
Just kite harder 
Vigil station with the mid event shooting balls across the bridge being one of them. 
I still get 700k+ in around 30 mins don't worry.
It's just more effort than lmao right click spam surge or burga.
I take it back I would have died and failed on literally any other weapon. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYEhbVfPU6c
Why did they have to nerf true aim + mettle nooooooooooooooooo
Hmmm am I gonna build a mk14 recon gazeker
Void saved my life. 
As it should.

level 19 pycker now.
just went on a 4 loss streck on heresy
I was so close everytime
feels bad
That's utterly boring with literally every weapon
If you dare ever say something against voidstrike again I will stare intensely at you until you get mild discomfort 😤
Burn gunker best gunker
This is what I've settled on except I want to find one more point so I can get one with the warp
Maybe drop crack of bone tbh
Mines pretty much the same, started with shield, then went scriers.
Love dumping my shards into a horde once scriers hits 100
Been hooked on assail whole time I've been working up to the 100 missions penance, dropped smite and brainburst after the penances and havent looked back.
Since I just dump them at the end of a scriers I've only got ethereal shards.
Might give voidstrike focus a shot in a bit tho, havent played with either of the void ones much
Bistol
Ethereal shards feels like nothing if you have warp splitting
Gimme a week so I can come back and use bistol to rant why it's mean and stinky and bad
It won't 
if so i could pick up crack of bone again
tempting
Nah, I love combining warp splitting with both assail upgrades
Feels almost like it could be a main weapon
almost
carapace 
My build is exactly that, crack over pierce
Gaze illisi vs horde is 
Rending is basically just attacks that ignore armour, right?
it is but just how long do i need gaze to be?
What perks/blessings do you use with Voidstrike?
hard to say
Flak maniac surge flurry
Neato. Why flurry over Nexus?
Also, I am fairly sure I played with you the other day, but I can't find the game in my history.
As long as I need, then I'll cash out with assails, also interweave to make sure you don't drop malefic stacks
20% 
I just prefer the fast charge rate. Even 1 ball is strong enough to kill a line of chaffs. When horde come at a line I'd rather do 50+ charge quicker
Or cash out with bistol depends on what I'm fighting
My psyker is called unsanctioned
Ayup. I am Spoony-Threepus.
we love the melding of sword and sorcery for improved effect
Or maybe Goony-Cleepus or Loony-Greepus depending on which character I was on
I might give Surge/Flurry a try to see how it feels. The slow charge rate can feel agonizing at times.
strange naming convention but I'll allow it
Make sure you have tru aim
I do. I just realized today it got nerfed to one stack per attack
Pretty much is the short answer.
Voidstrike didn't deserve this

It was probably an assail targeted nerf
