#

Some people haven't gotten it to work tho.

static needle
#

also with shield build?

nocturne dust
#

Inferno doesn't generate tons of peril anyway

#

and also, ER exists

#

The only staff that dumps anything other than warp res is voidstrike

#

because warp res is actually useful if you have Scrier's

#

If you really wanted to dump something else on Inferno, I would dump quell speed before damage

latent mauve
#

Indeed, and that opinion is no longer true given the new leadership on the community side

static needle
#

I am actually gonna keep and use the one with dumped damage cause its still an incredibly cracked staff type no matter how you slice it

#

escpecially now that blaze away is a thing for it

nocturne dust
latent mauve
#

The only policy that matters is the tos

nocturne dust
latent mauve
#

Hedge isn’t an employee anymore (good riddance)

#

Imagine hedge being active on this discord

static needle
nocturne dust
#

Well then don't use staves

#

Use gunker KEKW_ogryn

static needle
#

hmmm maybe surge is the least powerful one?

nocturne dust
#

Lmao

#

It's actually the strongest

#

at least according to a good number of the more experienced players in this chat

#

Voidstrike is the weakest staff right now

fresh reef
#

Every staff is severely over tuned in it's own way

static needle
#

unless they significantly buffed it in the mastery update then thats not true. I am a 500 lvl psyker main if that matters

nocturne dust
#

and it's still very strong.

quasi lynx
#

how is inferno staff?

halcyon gust
#

Very solid

static needle
halcyon gust
#

All the staffs are great

fresh reef
#

Staff nerf please

nocturne dust
halcyon gust
quasi lynx
#

lmao

nocturne dust
#

It has surge now

quasi lynx
#

pew pew

static needle
#

nahhhhh

nocturne dust
fresh reef
#

Crit rate and crit multiplier

static needle
#

getting the chance to get double RMB is better than it not working at all on Surge staff is what im saying

#

hence the nah

runic juniper
#

yeah that's why it's specific to m1 lol

static needle
#

it makes it more versatile when theres enemies lined up

static needle
#

just cause of the fact that surge actually works on its RMB

halcyon gust
#

Voidstrike is a good jack of all trades staff. Does everything well

nocturne dust
# halcyon gust How is VS the weakest?

What you mean? Inferno deletes everything, trauma knocks down everything, surge just constantly spits out damage. Voidstrike can only outdamage trauma, and even then only if your allies are good enough to keep fire trauma from doing its thing.

static needle
nocturne dust
static needle
#

it can be both

nocturne dust
static needle
#

you can lmb spam and then RMB when the situation calls for it!

halcyon gust
static needle
nocturne dust
#

Lmb works on everything except crushers.

static needle
#

you need surge for that

nocturne dust
#

And electrokinetic hurts crushers more than voidstrike.

static needle
runic juniper
nocturne dust
static needle
#

and groups of ragers can be more easily killed with double ball (surge blessing)

nocturne dust
#

Lol, you can be wrong.

static needle
#

oh definitely

#

surge is for sure superior in terms of CC ability

nocturne dust
#

I've been mainly talking about damage.

static needle
#

cause it legit can freeze big groups of dangerous melee elites in place

static needle
nocturne dust
#

Empyric Resolve lets electro go wild.

nocturne dust
#

You mentioned the mastery update, well guess what

static needle
#

have you tried mixing LMB and RMB with VS using surge blessing?

nocturne dust
#

Empyric Resolve happened

nocturne dust
runic juniper
#

You definitely need either empyric resolve or inner tranq as a peril reduction to use electro m2 as a damage source, but I don't use the m2 to damage

halcyon gust
#

What a world we live in where LMB can be better than Staff's RMB

potent echo
#

Electro has crit bonus stat

potent echo
#

That's like an extra 15% crit chance

runic juniper
#

i won't lie the state m1 is in is stupid lol

potent echo
#

They need to give us mk5 iag type of lmb

nocturne dust
#

staff m1s were a mistake

potent echo
#

Instantly explode KEKW_ogryn

halcyon gust
#

Where the before the only reason you use the M1 on Trauma and Surge is to pick off Far off snipers or suppress enemies to close the gap

nocturne dust
#

The fact staff m1s aren't full auto by default angymorrow

halcyon gust
#

FullAuto mod goes brrr for PC

runic juniper
#

nah now it just kills everything with warp splitting or deals insane single target with empyric shock

echo root
#

Surge/Elektro bis for lmb builds

nocturne dust
#

also BiS for rmb builds KEKW_ogryn

#

if you can hit the breakpoints that is

halcyon gust
#

But I'm a simple pysker and I like to play Wii bowling with the VS. Getting those juicy line up kills never gets old with it

runic juniper
nocturne dust
#

Sure, but it works so well with shriek that you end up with more damage

#

Perilous Combustion go bbbbrrrrrr

runic juniper
#

No reason to use shriek with warp unbound existing rn though

halcyon gust
halcyon gust
#

I have done that before....

nocturne dust
#

Shriek is still shriek

#

and actually shriek still outdamages scrier's staves

potent echo
#

Shriek still shrekts

halcyon gust
#

Shriek is still your best "Fuck that big group of enemies" button

potent echo
#

Infinite cleave always wins in higher difficulty

halcyon gust
#

And annoys Ogryns trying to get 60 Bullrush hits or 25 kills with a nuke

runic juniper
#

Assail with infinite cleave though lol

nocturne dust
#

AoE being good? In a horde game? Wha-

runic juniper
#

just gotta not run into bulwarks or crushers

potent echo
#

It's not infinite tho

#

Imagine if you got 90 poxwalkers instead of 45

#

It's over KEKW_ogryn

#

To shriek it's the same chadgryn

nocturne dust
runic juniper
halcyon gust
nocturne dust
#

even if it was effective against carapace it'd still be weaker than staves KEKW_ogryn

runic juniper
#

I'm still sad you cant get insane inferno damage using empyric shock since those talents dont work for inferno m1

#

I want a dot that can rival gunlugger ogryn

nocturne dust
#

Just uncap inferno soulblaze and keep the exponential aspect

#

staregryn Do it Fatshark, you cowards

runic juniper
#

give all dots infinite stacks, make the lacerate knife zealots right for once

nocturne dust
#

Honestly my favorite part of heat procs in Warframe is no max stacks

indigo plank
#

What blessings should I aim for on the voidblast mk3?

nocturne dust
indigo plank
#

Thank ye kindly, is there a particular dump stat for staves?

nocturne dust
#

Warp res

indigo plank
#

Oh wait

#

Yeah nice

runic juniper
#

either warp resist or quell speed

nocturne dust
#

Almost always warp res

#

Quell speed is highly a preferential thing by some weird peeps

runic juniper
#

people also take warp flurry and rending shockwave for blessings. the soulblaze one is pretty funny for setting everything on fire

nocturne dust
#

Fire Trauma is stronger and does more damage, but rending trauma will work against crushers

runic juniper
nocturne dust
runic juniper
#

just for warp unbound, it's so good

nocturne dust
#

You do you, but it will lower your dps.

#

Unless you're really bad at using shriek KEKW_ogryn

#

or you want bubble

#

I actually would love to see a good 4 psyker team running only bubble KEKW_ogryn

#

turn ranged only maelstroms into melee only with this one simple trick

runic juniper
#

I just think 10 seconds of infinite peril without needing to go for peril reduction, while also staying at 100% peril for dmg, toughness dmg reduction, and cleave is a lot better than setting stuff on fire and taking away 50% peril for a short time

nocturne dust
#

The issue is how damage distributes

#

Shriek instantly smacks all enemies in a wide area with a bunch of soulblaze, whereas Scrier's only buffs your staff

#

you get your staff anyway with shriek

runic juniper
#

I'm being real, scriers only lasts long enough to get like 4 stacks before I max peril out and start the warp unbound timer lol

nocturne dust
#

(Shriek also goes through walls)

runic juniper
#

I'd totally consider going for peril reduction on it too if warp siphon wasn't so far down

nocturne dust
#

Which peril reduction you mean?

runic juniper
#

both empyric resolve and the warp siphon stacks

nocturne dust
#

I mean I wouldn't recommend warp siphon peril reduction with ER

#

ER is already significant enough

echo root
#

Even with electro?

runic juniper
#

with electro yeah

echo root
#

I feel like surge/electro you get peril so fast

nocturne dust
#

Electro just doesn't have the points

#

Too many good things to grab

#

I could see an argument for it with shriek, but it's definitely a preference thing and doesn't do much because of shriek constantly removing warp stacks

#

Electro going Scrier's is just too point-strapped.

echo root
#

Scrier with staff in general feels icky

runic juniper
#

after getting used to abusing m1, it just feels like another infinite ammo recon las gun

#

that sometimes 3 shots maulers

nocturne dust
#

Shriek just covers staff flaws so well it's unfair, lol

delicate dove
#

Little story

backfilled into a game going badly with a smite psyker

He said the guy they were playing with was so triggered he was using smite that he flamed him, intentionally agro'd the daemonhost then immediately disconnected

lmao. Bit of an overreaction #StopSmiteHate ⚑⚑

runic juniper
#

nah smykers are literally tzeench and should be executed

nocturne dust
#

I dislike smitekers as much as I dislike gunkers. And I think gunkers should be tried for heresy. staregryn

runic juniper
#

it's not a gun build if im just using a staff OK

delicate dove
#

Meh, PVE game, play how you want for fun, easy or hard. The guy could've left in the lobby after he saw he was using smite if it meant so much to him

runic juniper
#

it might have the exact same talents but its different i swear

nocturne dust
#

I mean, in seriousness, yes play how you want

#

unless you use a gun on the space wizard class

delicate dove
#

Gunker mains are vets in disguise

#

It's kinda fun but it's not my vibe

runic juniper
#

I mean it's like playing vet with movement speed talents and without the ammo economy

#

and assail of course

#

so more like a knife zealot that just uses ranged instead

slate oasis
#

I don't run into smykers enough to be annoyed by it. some people absolutely lose their minds over it

upper galleon
#

witches, do any of you have the smite AOE view

zinc sphinx
runic juniper
#

I thought that shit will just chain zap all the way to the finale if you let it

slate oasis
runic juniper
#

it's like if you called a gunlugger a glugger

zinc sphinx
upper galleon
#

and how far it spreads (with and without talent)

delicate dove
delicate dove
# upper galleon yes

I was looking for what lightning storm does exactly too, didn't find much other than anecdotes of people saying they hardly noticed a difference at all, which has more or less been my experience too

upper galleon
#

cause it's ridic, when you look at it

upper galleon
#

only difficulties with the density to matter

delicate dove
#

Does it literally just add 1 target?

upper galleon
#

but it's an area it will chain to, not a target cap like it implies

#

nope

delicate dove
#

Hm

upper galleon
#

it adds like, a good 20% more max spread range

thorn cedar
#

whenever it would jump, it jumps to one more target. its a pretty gigantic efficiency boost

delicate dove
#

Thanks for your wonderfully detailed in-game explanations fat shark, lol

#

I swear literally every talent and perk should have an optional drop down menu that describes what the f*ck it does and does not do completely

#

I hate the ambiguity and browsing forums for these answers

Question: does Voidstrike blast radius only affect the explosion at the end?

ripe obsidian
#

I know. I use it as a dump instead of warp res

#

I just wanted to make sure I was not being foolish

nocturne dust

I am also just feeling generally demoralized after losing like 5 train missions and 3 clandestine gloria missions in a row

I don't recall Clandestine having anything particularly nasty

Yeah, lol.

ripe obsidian

People just split up in the power area and fail to prioritize targets

#

So they get shredded by elites and specials

Amazing

ripe obsidian

I had more melee kills than the Zealot.

It is what it is. You could try getting a proper team together in this Discord if you're that frustrated.

Yeah. But people are scary

thumbsdown_ogryn that's frustrating

Man what kind of jank shit is going on with warp unbound to be so weird lol

i have a question for the lightning psykers here

why do some people sit and electrocute the same one enemy for 30 seconds instead of just hitting him and moving on

proven bolt

it is pretty funny

does assail count as weakspot hits?

strong gulch

If it hits the weakspot yes. Sometimes it can hit bodies.

ripe obsidian
#

I think... I think this is the game to end the night on. Holy moly.

plucky flax
#

You use bb with void?

ripe obsidian
#

No

#

I use smite

#

I think it reverses the blitz and ability things

#

Smite/CD/Shriek/DD

plucky flax
#

Ah I have it set up as the skill tree. So blitz aura ability keystone

ripe obsidian
#

I will look at the settings to see if I can fix that

#

Doesn't seem like it

plucky flax
#

Hrm I think it's loadout monitor?

ripe obsidian
#

Aye

#

Oh, derp.

#

It's the next block up.

strong gulch
#

You can change that!? I need to change mine now!!

ripe obsidian
#

Apparently so. It's under "Feats" in Loadout Monitor

plucky flax
#

Yeah it makes more sense for me to have talents go down a tree

#

Don't know why the mod is not default to that

ripe obsidian
#

I agree. Not sure--what you said

strong gulch

OMG THANK YOU

#

It always drove me up a wall.

Mentally working out what was what...

This is such a small thing but I could actually cry over this.

mystic pike
#

the lightening staff is it good for killing elites and specials

ripe obsidian
#

It is good for killing everything

mystic pike
plucky flax
#

It's a staff

ripe obsidian
#

I like Illisi for killing weak enemies

plucky flax
#

Cc? It's a horde clear melee

ripe obsidian
#

Yes, what they said

plucky flax
#

Not super good against mauler and pretty poor against ogryns

ripe obsidian
#

With uncanny strike you can kill maulers in like... 12 unpowered hits

#

It is not ideal

#

Sorry, 13. Just tried

plucky flax
#

I tried uncanny slaughterer illisi in melee scab only. Wasn't very fun try it if you're more cracked than me staregryn

#

(I died)

ripe obsidian
#

I didn't realize that melee scab only was all maulers and crushers. I tried it yesterday and had a Bad Time

#

At least I had my DS4, so I had that going for me. But purg was not the way

ripe obsidian
#

And a team.

#

Interesting build

mystic pike
#

gonna need some help here

#

with this build

#

not much of a psyker

#

hence why i'm here

plucky flax
#

If you want to use ep assail then take both upgrade nodes

ripe obsidian
#

This is what I have for surge/electro staff. Probably not optimal.

plucky flax
#

Also tru aim is really good with assail

mystic pike
plucky flax
#

You can go creeping flames for that too unless you really want to play bubble

#

Then sticks with assails

ripe obsidian
#

This is what I think whenever I read "creeping flames"

mystic pike
#

is ep even that good?

ripe obsidian
#

For smite and BB, sure. Not sure about assail

plucky flax
#

It's good but dd is better now

upper galleon
plucky flax
#

Although you use surge staff so it only benefits from crit damage

#

Unless you are playing left click meme

#

I adjusted your tree taking your preferred blitz aura ability and key

#

1 point to spend either quietude or just extra toughness

mystic pike
plucky flax
#

Yeah I would suggest that too if you are going to assail spam

mystic pike
#

which aura should i use?

plucky flax
#

If you're using bubble then crit chance imo. For yourself. Cdr aura would help the team much more though dunno how you'd value your teammates

mystic pike
#

mostly

ripe obsidian
#

Valuing your team is a path to madness

plucky flax
#

Then team would appreciate having shorter cd especially vet for more p shout spam

mystic pike
ripe obsidian
#

I felt that way, too. Then the voices convinced me I was wrong

#

Now I play mostly psyker. Veteran after than, then Zealot. And rarely Ogryn.

#

still gotta level up my tickle fingers staff but eh

Hhhhmmmm? DD with shorter duration? Ew

delicate walrus
#

there a bug with disrupt destiny atm? ive got 10sec and +2 stacks on weakspot kill but neither seem appear ingame. Only ever get 1 stack even when even if i get multiple weakspot kills on targeted enemies back to back. presumably just a display bug on the icon ingame?

ripe obsidian
#

Question: since Zealot's Holy Relic prevents allies from being reduced below 1 HP, does it counter perils of the warp explosions? In VT2, Warrior Priest Saltz could save Sienna from blowing up.

ripe obsidian
#

I believe it's just a visual bug

delicate walrus
#

ahhh ok cool

ripe obsidian
#

It could be neat. Maybe not super useful, but a neat interaction

nocturne dust
#

My gut guess would be no, but definitely needs testing.

ripe obsidian
#

I guess it depends on how things are coded.

#

I didn't realize it worked in VT2 until I accidentally saved a Sienna from blowing herself up

nocturne dust
#

I mean, Saltie's ability is pretty different from book

ripe obsidian
#

It is true

#

But it prevents allies from being reduced below 1 hp. So maybe! I'll try to recruit my friend tomorrow to help me test

mystic pike
#

distrupt destiny stacks dont seem to be appearing

nocturne dust
#

they still exist, you just don't get to see them properly

ripe obsidian
#

Just keep popping heads

mystic pike
#

....i cant do without empyric resolve

#

that talent is a massive crutch

ripe obsidian

It's pretty good.

It's good for you.

i don't care who they send I'm not putting on ER

nocturne dust
nocturne dust
radiant frigate
#

why should i pick it

nocturne dust
#

Quelling is a dps loss

slender coyote
#

πŸ«ƒ this is why

nocturne dust
slender coyote
#

i just ran 2000 miles

nocturne dust
#

Less quell good, more time to channel the warp

radiant frigate
#

if I'm going to play a build that picks up warp siphon I'm going to have shriek to do my quelling for me

slender coyote
#

honestly

#

real

nocturne dust
#

I've yet to see a shriek build that can never quell, barring purgatus.

radiant frigate
#

ER would also make it harder to generate peril when i need it to shriek

nocturne dust
#

Counterpoint: you don't need to overquell

plucky flax
#

πŸ—Ώ

nocturne dust
#

and me, someone who does drop to 0% peril every time I quell and quells way too much, still uses ER and has plenty of peril for shrieking.

#

Excluding purgatus, again, lol

#

also it means you can take less peril management elsewhere if you were doing that

#

Battle Meditation? Stupid. Transfer Peril? Dumb.

#

It also shifts when you quell, which is important, giving you more time to dish out damage in the thick of the fight before having to quell. Even if you had to quell the same amount, being able to quell later helps with dealing with big packs (and you don't have to quell the same amount pogryn )

radiant frigate
#

battle meditation? with shriek? outside of eepy smite?

nocturne dust
#

Also, taking ER and shriek on purg literally lets me ignore quelling entirely

#

Anyway, the DPS difference between ER and no ER is substantial. ER clearly wins in every (staff) case. Not sure about gunker.

#

But gunker is a mutant and should be executed on sight.

#

The only time I've struggled to build peril for shriek is with purg, and even then it's mainly because I can't stop quelling. It's hardwired into my skull.

plucky flax
#

Huh I don't use er with burga

nocturne dust
#

I do and it's... well purg generates plenty of toughness and more flame good

plucky flax
#

I wish I can just not take the rending or er when playing burga

#

Free up my points

upper sun
#

just go EP

#

blaze away is enough damage

nocturne dust
#

I like ER so I have no problem with it.

nocturne dust
plucky flax
#

Way less damage than warp charges creeping flames spam

I played bubble once.

#

For the penance.

#

Or maybe basket support psyker meme

carmine siren
#

are there psyker cosmetics that dont have the toilet seat

nocturne dust
#

At the end of the day, I think shriek and purg together is mostly unhelpful damage, as in the damage kills things, yes, but most things that get hurt probably would've been killed anyway.

#

because of the way that shriek and purg be

its weird cause you would think it would be good for those high crit weapons

plucky flax
#

It's good but surge right click doesn't hit head and left click is hard to aim at head

radiant frigate

transfer peril sg surge surge

#

let there be little bolts that go pew pew in heretic faces

plucky flax
#

That's certainly a build.

#

I tried not transfer peril but dd gazer surge surge

#

The damage is really good but I keep exploding even with warp unbound

radiant frigate
#

transfer peril is funny because with quietude and mettle you can facetank a spawn just by repeatedly shooting it in the face with little pew pews

#

good? probably not
funny? absolutely

I also don't play surge surge with empiric shock

#

Hey guys what indicates a critical hit?

#

Is it the Yellow numbers only or the brownish/orange ones too?

stuck sinew
#

I think yellow is crit and double line is weakspot

#

Idk what brown/orange is, you sure it's not just yellow blending with the background or something?

late sapphire
#

You might be partially color blind

safe merlin
#

I think Yellow is weakspot hit

late sapphire
#

It used to be like that but it isn't anymore

#

Just go to the psykhanium and test it out

wind spruce
#

In the psykhanium right now it's yellow crit brown weakspot

safe merlin
#

Im getting brown with the inferno force staff...

spice veldt
#

darktide's psykhanium now uses yellow numbers for weakspot, and orange numbers for crit
if you have the healthbar mod, then it uses the old convention of yellow numbers = crit and orange numbers = weakspot

wind spruce
#

There's confusion because the health bar mod wasn't swapped

late sapphire
#

Wait do you have the hit indicator on the crosshair off or something silly like that

wind spruce
#

Weakspot yellow

late sapphire
#

On the default bar it's yellow for weakspot and brown for crit and vice versa on healthbar mod

#

But looking at the numbers to tell if an attack crit is wacky i think

mystic pike
#

so just had a game with this build and its very noticeable

# mystic pike Guess I’m a bad psyker than for wanting to keep my teammates alive <:KEKW_ogryn:...

Issue with support on psyker is that you’re supporting people who often have iffy dps and unlike vet support build (shout + given other players some of the toughness you gain + toughness on kill buffs) cannot force feed them toughness constantly to compensate, only bubble which does a lot for toughness regen but only if they are smart enough to go into it when low which many are not. The gunner resist is incidental because bubble collapses when shot pretty quickly.

To get it you have to give up on either of two incredibly high dps tools: SG or shriek on class that has a comically high DPS ceiling.

It tends to be better to play support on classes like ogryn (loyal protector + taunt + extra damage on taunt talent) or vet which can reduce incoming damage whether or not the team is dumb while maintaining solid damage while psyker should generally support the team by killing as much as possible with skills other than bubble.

Which isn’t to say bubble is bad. On a good team it can be pretty handy and against flamer spam it’s nice. But even in those circumstances SG or shriek (with every possible source of cooldown reduction) would probably be better.

πŸ˜… we'll pray for you

plucky flax

Double barrel all over them.

zinc phoenix
#

There’s also a trait that you can use to have the shotgun become a peril reducing monster when firing into hordes which makes maintaining SG very nice

#

It’s worth investing a point into upgrading assail for faster gunner mob clearing and more weaving opportunities

#

I liked ds2 over ds4 for this build because I found I was meleeing a lot and because my crusher response tended to be SG + shoot the shotty into the crusher’s face at point blank for mega crit damage but you can also go ds4 or deimos if you feel you need anti armor more

#

Chainsword or Rashad can also be pretty nice

You can also be a team player by killing stuff.

If you want to 'support' I'd go for something like basket and bubble.

Just burga and chill.

I will do lots of murder to help the team then :D

the best support is murder (dead enemies cannot hurt teammates) (unless it is bonbon and blasts you off a cliff) (fuck you bonbon i hope you die forever)

hmm holding M1 with a flamethrower and killing everything barring a crusher/monstro

late sapphire

The main thing is that when the veteran splits off and gets cornered by a mob, you notice and go over to blow em to bits

#

and so on

analog agate
#

Support means you keep your friends alive and hold the enemies still with smite for them to kill. It emotionally will satisfy your teammates to get more kills, all the while staying alive longer

why would a zealot be displeased with a bubble burga soyker

I wonder

Outside of bubble and strategic smite use, psyker doesn't have much in the way of support. Not doing damage doesn't help the team.

A lot of people trying to "support" will hold down un-upgraded smite in a bubble and hold their team and the enemies in a bad position.

Pretty bad honestly. Basket tree means you are killing to get that toughness back. What you should be doing is more support for your teammates by not enabling them to kill more
