Lmao
My friend tried to convince me I was 5'11'' cause he was 6'0''.
Lmao, same

To be fair, I think some people measure themselves in shoes
So not liars, just dumb.
Ah that makes sense
But also
Ego
Girl inches are real
I do do that 
5'11" with em on
too lazy to take em off
You can only count your shoes if you are "standing on your money".
2k minimum.

(who the fuck buys all those expensive shoes)
Counterpoint: I use my shoes long enough that I get 2k worth out of them easily

rich people
I assume
or poor people making bad life decisions

Counterpoint, spending 3-500 on custom built shoes makes more sense for rich people than random branded 2k shoes.

I fixed my shoes a few days ago and wore them out and about today.
Stabby toes

My other shoes are falling apart tho.
True
I mean I'm fast when I know what gif I want
I was looking for a hackerman one but I don't use it often so 🤷♂️
I haven't watched that in a while
another vet complimented why i havent run out of reconlasgun ammo. gunker too good
That's why the ladies call me 'Lightning McQueen' 😏
Because they made you dress up like a car and make vroom vroom noises?
No, because I dressed up like a car and made vroom vroom noises without being asked
whoever recommended illisi too me btw, ty for doing that. tried it instead of dueling or deimos on my accatran/assail/bubble build with Warp Rider and Warp Splitting, it chunks harder than I imagined. against elites and specials too
Another sibling falling to heresy. A shame. 😔
ew
ew
this considered optimal roll?
Warp res isn't a perfect dump, unstable power instead of uncanny/slaughterer, block eff and stamina 🤮
everyone was saying mobility dump but I'm still not sure for deimos
lawd no, it's not perfect by any measure
You can dump warp res or mobility
dump warp resistance on deimos, H2 is better than charged attack
copt that. thanks! what about illisi? same?
peak vt2 boomer loadout
Yeah, Deimos doesn't use the special 
si
ye
Deimos special isn't useless 🤓
Light activation has great utility
Heavy is a little sus though
Is Illisi psyker's best hordeclear melee?
Yes
It's one of better options. Pre crafting update, chainsword was better but IDK about now.
Someone worked out that math and chainsword beat illisi.
I forget who. I haven't used the chainsword much, so I can't speak to it beyond that.
It's better than chainsword because chainsword doesn't work with peril and can't do warp kills.
I feel obligated to say rashad since I'm pretty sure u can actually hit breakpoints on it on psyker now
@lethal lagoon beloved

The only thing that benefits Rashad since the update is the 10% attack spd, but that just kinda makes it okay. Psyker still isn't great with melee and is kinda forced into using a force sword (or omega-OP ds)
vc 68
specifically for horde it's up there, especially vs bruisers
it's not as good as rashad on vet obv
chainsword does beat illisi in horde clear but loses in other areas
It's okay, but illisi is better.
when I was testing illisi horde clear
I was very surprised to see that it was somewhere like mediocre at best
I mean, yeah, the pause to charge is super awful for the output
I can hear the sadness in the text as you say 68 instead of 69
it was like shock maul tier of horde clear
prob cuz of dmg distribution in cleave
and that's also why you kinda need slaughterer
but it's the only melee weapon that has actual peril generation as part of using it
Even Deimos doesn't want to do the special
this is with slaughterer included
it was around shock maul tier
si I'm aware
Part of the reason I hate illisi
one trick horde clear set-up
haven't tried chainsword for psyker tho
I feel like it could be nice for a horde clear 1 trick?
Eh, chainsword also kinda needs some stacking
psyker has easier to reach 10% atk speed than vet, might try it there
whats the optimal force sword stat array?
80 everything, dump warp resist
alright thanks
dump warp res or mobility
My pc didn’t boot so I had to force it to shut. Down. Then it posted in safe mode. Into the bios and finally just this second I’m on windows
Wizard buffs when
would 80 damage, 76 finesse, 79 first target, 74 mobility, 72 war res be good for now?
Usable for now yea
or 80 damage, 80 finesse, 65 first target, 76 mobility, 80 warp res
also other question, Deflector and uncanny strike fine for blessings with carapace damage and maniac damage good?
is there any reason to hit daemon hosts at all?
Nope
I feel they should drop rewards for killing them but I gess they are the witch equivilent
is fine
Standard is uncanny/slaughterer with flak/maniac
unless you're using illisi, which needs slaughterer to do its job
they're hazards moreso than bosses
though i wish bosses gave some reward
the reward is you didnt die
^
killing a monstrosity gives you 3 karma points on reddit
killing a daemonhost gets you 3x that
between heavy sword and chainsword, which is best for horde clear? and which mark?
Yeah they are not supposed to be messed with
So no incentive to wake it up
Unless you want funny dopamine from funny hammer
Or Malleus
I'm so used to playing Zealot and Vet on Auric Maelstrom, finally trying to get into psyker and I'm struggling to push beyond regular heresy. Just feels so fucking squsihy.
just gotta pick the correct toughness nodes and play around em
I wouldn't recommend using either if you're new to psyker
Buddy just recommended combat blade but I feel like that's gonna make me even squishier
combat blade is absurd bc of bleed and the movement it gives you
Illisi is easy horde clear
if you know how to dodge, it makes you nearly unkillable
I need answers
How does one achieve the number of total deaths
but out of those two you mentioned, heavy sword is better
Die 102 times
But like how
I joined literally at the first drop down at the med station
farming deaths
Recommended perks blessing for combat blade? Also only tried the Deimos, I'll give the Illisi a shot next.
Nobody really died much when I joined
Bug, maybe?
Might be however I'm just stunned
Never dump first target ever
^
It’s the single most important stat for damage on any weapon that has it listed as a stat
hey where do i find the vet guide?

sorry buddy
there's only psyker and ogryn guides on steam
ones worth reading i mean
could just make a post there, include a few screenshots as preview, and then tell people to go onto the word doc
if you want, steam's a cesspool anyway
That’s kinda irresponsible ngl
Steam doesn't work well with screen readers anyways.
plenty of people do that, i see it all the time
as long as you leave a link to the most recent guide, i don't see the issue
What are y'all's favorite maps?
sycorax
Do duel swords have an innate block efficiency?
the chasm terminus assassination mission is good too
Sycorax is probably my favorite as well
I despise the torrent and hourglass maps
different weapons can have different innate block stamina cost
Is it worth putting the block efficiency on it?
archivum sycorax
magistrati oubliette
consignment yard
top 3 for me
Nothing is worth putting block efficiency on
no
Unless you want to run a dclaw meme build or something
I only use my swords for movement and the odd mutant. Other than that its basically just something to zip around on
Then you aren’t blocking with it are you
sometimes, yeah
mostly when im picking someone up
Block efficiency just falls in the face of an armor damage bonus
the best defense is a good offense my friend sibling
What builds are you running where you don’t melee ever
Pure caster
With what
its just how I play psyker
Be specific
With whatever
Telling me you don’t melee with Purgatus?
I like it
You are playing into a niche though
Of total trash clear
Doesn’t mean it’s bad
Any particular reason? I do like them, I am just curious what they have in common for you
I like it. it works out well
infeerno's niche is "I hope these enemies I'm flaming die before my teammates kill them"
But you have to play around it
sycorax is just nice environment, both events are cool to me as well
magistrati is mainly cuz it's fast
consignment yard is also very fast
I like maps that can be done fast but still usually have high crafting material payout
I am growing to despite the Void map mostly because every single team wipes at or before the first event
it’s treacherous
interzone void is nice
if a BoN doesn't spawn at the start
The baptism by fire that is the first 5 minutes is great
Makes sure you don’t fail most the way through
I've had almost 1M dmg clutch runs on interzone void
I want to like it. But I can only watch so many teams fall around me before I grow bitter
without trying to farm dmg off endless spawns in events
I can clutch a lot better on VoC vet than on Psyker. I can do okay on psyker
Sycorax has the vent substack in the beginning which is fun, plus the run down into the deep archives
I feel psyker has a harder time clutching in my experience
Also not stupid dark like torrent maps or orange like hourglass
psyker is u either take 0 dmg or u go down almost instantly
Yeah
You are doing fine until one bruiser finally hits you and you are on deaths door all of a sudden
There is no half hp psyker
Or until you back around a corner for cover and meet the Shooter Brigade
Then you are on the ground before you know what happened
As can I when I expect it and am not distracted with other problems
Earlier today I backed off the ledge right before the vent section in Sycorax and met like 4 gunners and 12 shooters. I got bullied
But on the ledge was fire and nets
I have returned to my home to teach more heretics the meaning of faith via mental gymnastics
Black cats are great
I got 2. I named them Copy and Paste.
I have one black cat currently. Her name is Katterdemalia
shadows
i need a black cat
i have orang i got from pet store and siamese who showed up at my door
What blitz do I use firestaff with? Seems like whenever I use it the game spawns 75% more shields
bb with KF
with the right nodes it triggers super quick aswell
force sword and DS can open bulwark shields
I have a ragdoll and nondescript black cat I adopted, and I just lost my little adopted burmese this summer.
or bait them into a swing
Sorry about your kitty friend. I bet they were a rad little monster.
He was great. But he was very, very sick. The breeder he came from initially was not responsible.
I don't buy purebred cats, to be perfectly clear. I only adopt.
sorry for your loss
i rem grabbing a baby stray off the streets, but i think he was very mistreated before that
went to school the next morning and when i came back he was stiff
hope so
all he did was sleep on warm blankets
That's an incredible gift you were able to give him
Peace and comfort that he didn't have before then
maybe, do i wish i had the money to bring him to the vet immediately
but that wasn't a possibility back then
I did not expect to open psyker chat and be met with a wave of sadness and grief.
It's nothing to apologize for.
just soloed the entire end sequence of the moebian steel mission because my teammates didn't know how to move around the horde/endless enemies
dueling sword is actually really good for breaking ice 
who woulda thought
also did my first auric clutch

we were stuck on 1/2 batteries for so long because my teammates finally went out to try and do the objective, opened a crate then all 3 immediately wiped and didn't tell me they found the second battery
so i was scouring the map looking for closed crates
and it was in a fucking open one
does the shredder autopistol have any advantages over the braced autogun?
Better maniac damage
Ty
Have access to pinning fire for amplified creeping flames
this didnt do shit, lmao
Si.
was even a pox hound wave too
classic
It's cool.
are these ever going to be used
Luv walls.
'Ate eretics.
Simple as.
knife is not a consideration by virtue of being a knife
i think of it as DS-adjacent
except silly
dark souls adjacent
me when the toughness i get from soulstealer is dark
wild
isn't it just?
real shit
those neurotypical fuckers are all blanks
sad sacks of shit rule
what's the easiest way to get the kill 50 monsters with brainburst achievement thing? and like do I have to do this alone it says private game?
it's doing more than 50% of a monster's health with brain burst actually
private means you need to set it to private for it to count, which i think still requires someone else to be there with you
to do that do I need brain burst with empowered psionics ?
setting it to private is a bit annoying
private means private bud
doesn't need to be EP
but i think it's 2 players to run a instance
just brain burst
wys kat
you dont need EP but it helps
oh look some melee support in the tree
JK sacrifice toughness and other damage for it or suffer
I'm a bit new what's so bad about it
or rather JK it is all conditional and also affects ranged
point taxes
SO FRUSTRATING
the good talents are buried behind others
weird shit like some of the melee talents being on opposite sides
"oh and btw we gave dueling sword to the others and they are 3x as good at it"
and then ofc there is mettle which synergizes the most with... high RoF guns? aka Not A Staff
and then there are the blitzes
all two of them
so your forced to take some perks that don't synergize with your build cuz of bad placement is what I'm getting
smite, which sickens me, assail, which means i need to run boss damage elsewhere, and BB, which locks me out of malefic momentum and is now dead to me
yeah
also what kat said
if i run boss damage in my ranged slot it is not going to be a staff so why am i playing psyker
if i run boss damage in my melee slot it is going to be ds or knife or something (so why am i playing psyker)
if i run BB for boss damage i now know that it lowkey fucking sucks compared to infernus lasguns and other things
psyker for me now is pretty much "scab melee girlie"
PLUS i have half as much toughness as i would if i was playing vet or zealot
but magic space wizard is cool
the cool factor is lessened by the struggle factor
it would be even cooler if using magic sword didn't somehow force me into also bringing a gun
like sure we have all these tools to wreak havoc but you could also just bring a sword and a gun (and training)
aka vet
I started a week ago as psyker and I noticed I die if something looks at me funny I assumed the trade would be me doing a shitton more damage
further proof that vet is the best class
always has been
don't worry guys I'm sure the team at fatshark will 100% see and fix the class tree dis-synergy and fix def within the next 2 patches so maybe by Q4 2025
or we probably get nerfed cuz why not
nah
the useless ones will just get buffed to stupid degrees
(they are still useless)
+500% wield speed
Smite and Dome buffs until all psykers are relegated to utility bots
the dps is insane
boss damage just sucks
imagine the qq canceling potential
I play with a few friends and the zealot just usually kills the boss
ds boss dueling used to be fun
but now i can do it on my zealot and 5 tap the boss
I do end up haveing the highest damage but that's probably due to killing more trash mobs
in short, me want beam staff
in longer, me want all of siennas gear ported over
I do miss the flail
in 90% of my games running it, disrupt destiny's stacks don't show up in my buff/debuff bar. Is this visual or is the perk not working? It's hard for me to tell.
ye its visual
visual error
thanks, thats a relief
FS has issues with stacking buffs not showing up
warp charges, EP stacks, DD stacks
only psyker buffs ofc
only psyker has this many buffs
psyker buffs be like: get 2934 headshots and kill 9345 elites get 2% power
vet buffs be like: exist
vet buffs be like: the same thing but for free
me getting into SG has been the downfall of my enjoyment of the class
i never liked the fullcaster builds
SG?
scrier's gaze
they're not unique to psyker
if i then end up using a melee weapon that is also not unique to psyker, why psyker
the only thing left is assail
which is cool but is it enough?
kinda weird that they're the best weapon that benefits from that talent instead of a machine gun staff
i would have significantly less issues with this if ranged weapons overall sucked at boss damage
but no
it's really just psyker staffs that do
infantry autoguns ok
any lasguns ok because they have infernus
revolvers decent if you hit the noggin
so is boss damage psyckers biggest issue right now ? other than the perk point tax that is
you can do brainburst for boss damage or some m1 spam build
but it still wont be as good as a gungryn or a zealot or a vet with kraks
thats not even the issue imo
the builds i used to play are kinda unethical rn
purge is broken with blaze away
brain burst is ok boss damage and it is reliable but the issue is that it takes quite a while to charge anyway
surge is out shined by surge surge m1 spam
thats why you use the upgrade
and keep a stim on hand
yes i know
wait the fire staff is good I used it a bit and it takes a year and a day to kill any elite
its pretty broken now if built correctly
but if i want to use the cool new melee psyker™️ talents i no longer have enough points to get that upgrade
i can still have the exact same build i used to run but it just doesn't feel the same anymore
noooooooo u need +900% wield speed and -5% peril reduction
I just kinda ignore bosses on psyker — unless the team is a few apples short of a bushel — and focus on clearing specials and any mobs that run in
if the team can deal with them, cool
but i always operate under the assumption that i may have to do everything myself
Well you can kill a boss with melee using KD and the melee traits with SG
Only boss that’s a PITA to melee is the BON but staff left click melts that fucker good
Any staff, without spec, weak point
rework smite
rework either vet or zealot stealth
rework ogryn taunt
What’s wrong with ogryn taunt?
Equip taunt, equip shield, blend everything while giving out massive bonus damage
i can do that better with the attack speed from bullrush
ogryn taunt is serviceable as a diet voc
also rush can get me to a revive zone and let me pull off two revives while everything is on the ground
yeah like why are all the combat abilities diet versions of eachother?
i also do not have the words to describe how little i want to play ogryn
nah
you can double tap S to stop
I’m so wary of using it because it used to just shoot you off ledges
With no cancel iirc 😂
it prevents fall damage
Probably because it was a suicide button
not all
but ogryn taunt and zealot relic are definitely diet voc
ive used rush to skip rooms before they fixed the rooms
to a lesser extent you could also consider shriek a diet voc
what about zealot stealth and vet stealth
or ogryn charge and zealot charge
Idk I think bubble needs the most help
those are both diet charge
or gaze and exi stance
not at all the same
mhmm
Gaze is massively better than executioner stance
okay fine
yeah definitely
other ones are real tho
i would never voluntarily pick exe stance
i did play a lot of sg in recent times however
A lot of vet tree feels like it was designed without reference to how the game is actually played
i dont trust myself on psyker to not run shriek
not because of the peril
Psyker tree seems to be game aware but there are some odd taxes
because of the CC
shriek helps if i get myself into a situation where im dodgeless and cant move
SG equivalent safety valve to shriek is the massive melee boost and the run speed
warp unbound is somewhat fun with assail
It’s super fun with void
i can just press f and then just cast psyhic knives until they run out
Ventilation purge, my friend
Shooters hidden in the fog?
No they ain't

yes
they should just let us press a button to turn all of the traitors inside out i think that would be balanced
so tru so tru
idk i usually have enemy visibility when i use my eyes
I've watched a few dev streams
They explain some of the weird decisions with regards to the tree quite well
They are uhhh not very good at the game
Play boneless p shout to gimp yourself
You shout but you don't pee. No yellow toughness 
hell yeah
It gives a lot of damage which you have loads of anyway and gives nothing for survivability which is what you need for vet. No mobility, no toughness nothing. Also the left side tree for vet rewards playing like a mong with bonuses that encourage you to be far away and stand still 🤦♀️
It lets you murder one billion gunners though
...oh yeah the far away stand still playstyle is wack
Maybe the least viable playstyle
The game literally isn't designed for you to do that whatsoever lmao
Not on any difficulty above Malice
Can you imagine trying to use that in aurics?
It wasn’t too terrible an idea for the game as it existed on release but as the game has changed it’s become stupider and stupider to not be near the group
Oh I’ve tried 😂 the game spawns pox walkers and specials on top of you as punishment
It’s weird that exe stance doesn’t include a threat dump/invis element
I get why it doesn't
It'd sure be nice
It's supposed to be GIGA DAMAGE CRIT MODE
So things still threatening you during that time is sensible I think
...I might consider upping the damage more
Like, what buff puts it in line with stealth?
it encourages crabwalking!
That's Marksman's Focus
Nothing about Executioner's Stance itself forces you to be immobile
I like being still with it, but that's just because I'm a mid shot
Man fuck crab walking that shit is so annoying I crab walked through half a goddamn mission
I’m doing the MF Penance and it has really driven home how much MF SUCKS ASS
so true
crabwalk power sword was definitely an experience
i did mercantile
i got lucky with a really bad team
no one did the start event
so i used up all the ammo everywhere and went into a corner for melee time
mission failed at 30 minutes
we never left the first room
😂 that’s one way to get it
question, after this update, what are the best blessing on the purgatus?
showstopper looks like a lot of fun but i do not think it is the best blessing
Blaze away and then something else
VoidStrike staff dump Blast Radius or Warp Res? I think someone said blast radius before
Roll one of each and see how you feel tbh
Both are callous altho I lean toward team blast
As dump
Blast radius.
warp resist heavily effects lmb spam
spends on how you wanna use voidstrike or surge dump according
What would the dump stat be on an Inferno staff, Quell or Warp Res?
If you ever find yourself manually quelling, quell is much better
You guys know you get like 3secs grace period on headshot right? Also take 15 stacks it gives so much leeway when you don't have to worry about losing a couple
Tbf my build leads to me sometimes not quelling for a whole mission 
The amount of warp resistance you can amass is actually nutz
On that sort of build you really want more peril gen rather than less, because otherwise you can't even feed your venting shriek soulblaze
is there any reason for a level 20+ psyker to be running around with a gun and not one of their busted staffs? seems like just a waste of ammo that other classes could be taking
Gun psyker is a reasonable playstyle - pragmatically because all of the staves suck at boss damage and otherwise because it's fun
Yeah, the only real reason is boss damage on staves sucks
Can't agree that guns on the literal space wizard class are fun though. 
feel like the tradeoff isn't worth losing all the cc and utility just for a couple more boss DPS
staves kinda suck until you can get their stats to 80
The actual bump to boss DPS going from one of the staves to a VIAG/Recon Las is pretty significant. Same is true for elite/Specialist kills (with exception to carapace, but that's what melee is for). Depending on how you spec into it, gun psykers can also be reasonably hard to kill.
I mean, with the perk that turns crits into dodges and Scrier's gaze...
Boss DPS, yes. Elites/specials? No, staves win there in real matches, even ignoring crushers. You might be able to out-dps trauma in lower densities.
best voidblast blessings?
nexus and the soulblaze on crit one for max dps with fire trauma
the rending build is worse for dps but handles crushers better, not that fire trauma has issues with how it can just stun crushers to death 
yes
well, no, but yes
You go left side of tree and take a 5% crit chance perk on the staff
That's all the crit you need. If you don't crit, trauma knocks everything down so you just get to fish for crits for a bit. 
huh?
which is that?
Wdym, huh? Trauma wants the fire perks to make the soulblaze neat, and creeping flames shriek for more fire
oh i am using a middle tree build
is there a staff that works particularily well with the middle tree?
Uhhhhh, there's not really a middle tree build. Are you just taking EP?
not, genuinely took the middle keystone, aura and ability
so i do not know if there is any well suiting combination 😂
I mean, that's I guess as middle as it gets, but you'll still be forced into left or right for most talents
oh i know that
why is that?
i run already the elector staff for the right tree tbf
would want to not be too samey
I mean every staff kinda wants the same build with the soulblaze perks on the left
Only voidstrike differs by going right for scrier's if you want
Yeah, crystalline will sucks
"shit"
maybe it would be less of a meme if it also gave 3 wounds? i dont know
the word is shit
Would still be a problem
i know, it suggests to play poorly
Even if it gave you 10 billion wounds
dunno about that one chief
med stims crying rn
but i like the idea of using the warp explosion
i mean ... hmm ...
surely there can be a way to make it an actual part of your kit
I do too, but crystalline will doesn't buff the peril explosion
i'll have the entire crusherverse alqaeda'd by the time i need it
I mean there is, but you'll be forgoing usefulness, lol.
like pressing reload would damage you for x damage like venting a plasma gun would and you would do x damage around you maybe?
or you don't get picked back up by the pub and just expire the first time you go down
Crystalline Will acts as a safety net like Wounds

or even funnier, exploding will also use your ability and blitz 
especially because you're just vulnerable for a bit while you explode yourself
but yeah, crystaline will needs something
Definitely.
defs not remove the explosion focus
HEY WAIT
what if we made it sorta like ogryn nade?

That has been tossed around as an idea here, lol.
and here i thought i was original 
No, you're part of the hivemind. Sorry.
i mean considering it costs you a wound, it should be around the same level
Next you'll ask for more force weapons.
i mean that is not even original, we all want more 
5 wound kamikaze psyker build huh
okay, med stations only repenish 1 wound

people like you are always fun though
its always funny seeing how people would break something
can just imaigne a 5 wound psyker yolo'ing into everything
you know what, what is the explosiuon summoned a temporary deamon at your side 
i know, makes not perfect sense, but its funny
and i am only half serious
I always thought it'd be cool to make them spawn a chaos spawn if a psyker fully dies from perils
Daemonhost ally 
Daemonhosts are psykers that lost control
so they would make more sense
i suppose 😄
daemonhosts are a full ritual that forces a daemon into a human, it isn't tied to psykers specifically
honestly that alone could make crystaline will kinda cool
of course, having a psyker spawn a daemonhost on peril exploding means you are down 2 team members if you're not really ready to kill a daemon, lmao
also idk if they changed that in the new editions, but deamonhosts were part of the inquisition army
which always confused me as to why we fought them, when they are supposed to be part of our army
I don't touch the tabletop so 🤷♂️
the ones in darktide are being controlled by the moebians, not the inquisition
doesnt mean we can not 
would not put it past grendyll
I think the zealots in the warband would have an aneurysm if they did that 
actually ....
not so sure if they had a choice
they way the imperium twists things to make it their right is always a theme
some part of me hopes that bosses get model variants
Howdy fellow Siblings
Is it just me or is Psyker very uhhh......
squishy?
5 seconds of contact with mob and I die smh
you could say their resilience is very demur
Don't touch the mob sibling

Psyker has the most tools to keep mob away
I try not to touch them
But you see, mob very sneaky
2 bruisers sneaking up behind you takes half your hp as psyker whereas it's barely a scratch on others
I suppose this is what I get for trying the space mage
Amazing CC, fuck all self preservation

You're completely safe, until you aren't 
You can go half the map with no hp damage, then 1 enemy puts you to 20hp
bruh
I have no idea how to survive without Assail lmao 
Inferno Staff fun but how tf do I use it kekw
So this is what Psykers feel 24/7 huh
dodge slide, lmb to stun ragers

Only thing inferno has trouble with is out-of-reach snipers and crushers, and you take BB to deal with snipers (if someone doesn't deal with them first).
You take a sword to deal with crushers.
I personally use it with the stun shield so whenever special waves come I can just chill and let the spray do its thing
You don't really need the stun shield with purgatus
It stuns dogs and trappers out of their attacks with rmb anyway
the primary fire staggers anything that isnt a mutant or ogryn anyway
and mutants, you can pretty easily dodge
Stun shield's only real use currently is making brain burst go faster 
really useful on mutant bumrush aur mael
I just burn the mutants with purg and dodge/stand around a corner 🤷♂️
i didn't pick it because defensive psyker infuriates me when in play
"just dodge lol" yeah not taking that opinion seriously lmao
and three shieldgryn pubgryns are busy having snuggles
Lmao, mutants are like the easiest thing to dodge
even if you mess up, the throw is pretty easy to recover from
unless you get really unlucky or grabbed in fire
Until they're silent and coming up behind you during a horde
Spidey Sense 
i'm talking a very specific maelstrom
honestly leaving a mutant alive while being surrounded by elites and specials can be a life saver 
mutant specialist maelstrom
hold down the mutant conga, negative iq plasmavet gets to remove some specials
Yeah, purg just works 
Tbh worst specials to get loads of is bombers
sure it does, but there's an option of not hoping that teammates don't get thrown into the special spam while you roast the mutants
I think flamers are worse because of the pushback
Tox bombers
Love a big mixed horde and there's just 3 tox bombers who knows where singing GAS GAS GAS
Helping the team? Ew
Besides, walls only help in corridors which is where specials are easiest to deal with
Scriers blaze trauma 
anything with flames that isn't flamevent makes my brain itch
If you want defense, bubble is superior. Keeps out fire bombers, lets you ignore snipers and trappers, works anywhere, any time.
I've only ever used shriek without modifiers 
i will stab you

900 hours in btw
Someone's going to no longer be a pre-servitor.

🤮
I don't care what weapon this is for, it's wrong
i figured out the best way to do quell cancelling consistently without any external programs or tools (no cheating)
shit's so op
oh it's so right
Bro mastered his edging
I only use shriek for stagger and kinetic resonance
if you wanna give it a shot back up your keybinds and try
love my psyker look btw
bind primary action to m1, reload weapon to m2
I only use shriek for the bazillion damage it does with creeping flames 
bind secondary action to something else you can use (mmb maybe)
spam two mouse buttons at the same time
you'll do it faster than any macro ever could
and 0 cheating
because people were crying about macros lateyl
heres a way to do it without them very consistently
just gotta give yourself carpal tunnel
lmb spam amp that they inadvertently created with their blessing+talent shenanigans isn't going to be solved by screeching about macros (programmable mice my beloved), it's about amplifying the stronger part of staves instead of lmb (which is incredibly boring) - rmb. or plainly touch up the animations (speed up and whatnot) on staves and remove the possibility to do it altogether
but then quelling isn't going to be smooth
okay so
if you install multibind
mod
you can bind another reload button to r to have a normal quell button
but if you wanna do it without extra mods just use right click lol
They could literally just make it so you cannot fire again until the animation's duration has expired, even if the animation is cancelled
so... a mind-scratching absence of being able to do a thing after tapping quell
Well, only attacking, but yes 
i still firmly believe that lmb damage amp is a mistake
I mean, all the nodes on that little wing are a mistake.
i mean
they're just useless
emp shock enforces an annoying niche build
i've been quellcancering since 2022, and no one batted an eye because it wasn't impacting my dps in any meaningful way
I mean, it still doesn't if you aren't doing lmb spam
mhm
yeah but surgesurge + empshock is a problem they created on their own
and people flock to problems
I mean I don't really mind the 'problem' at all.
the recon vets are just unhappy that their niche of standing still and pressing lmb is being impacted by people who have to set up qcancer
but to be fair when they figure out that hitting weakspots while doing that is the thing that makes the lmbspam go from "okay" to "mindnumbing"
it's going to be a problem
on the metal titty foundry level there were at least several times when i stopped that mutant maelstrom spam by standing in one place and aiming for head level for mutants
Is Anticipation still not giving dodge distance?
doesn't it give duration and not distance?
it's supposed to give both i think
it only specifies duration iirc
you are correct
+50% Dodge duration. Increases the number of Dodges before Dodges starts becoming ineffective by 1.
one day i will get a psyker thrust on staves
one day...
kamehamehaing heavy attacks is my favorite pastime
i am absolutely willing to exchange surge and surge accessories for that one thing
mmm thrust on bb
rmb should rapidly (rapidly) scale up your peril on bb, but at the same time convert generated peril into a damage boost on it
Your wish is granted, but thrust only works on staff jabs.
bb kinetic resonance machinegun "metuh" for the only barely worthy big dude bonus infuriates
i will thrust you
Fine, your wish is granted but thrust only stacks after staff rmb reaches full and Fatshark accidentally made it so you automatically cast upon reaching full. (Fatshark will fix this in 3-9 years)
the first part i absolutely dont mind
i will thrust you for the second part
Fine, your wish is granted. Also some balance changes got implemented and Thrust now has a power stack of 2%. Max stacks have not changed.
i thrust you based on the philosophical reality of you deserving to be thrusted
Siblings, which of our gifts to you prefer to use with scriers gaze
voidstrike is alright if you're talking staves
Fine, your wish is granted and thrust is now available to be used on staves provided you unlock it with mastery. No extra mastery points provided.
even over a gun? would a gun benefit more?
Electro thrust 
coom
Staves stronk
fast firing guns with a good weakspot/crit modifier are the best
You can use scrier's with guns, that's just gunker, but gunker loses to staves
it's not even that
Don’t know if it’s just me but ever since this update, I’ve been losing missions and disconnecting from in-game missions. I think it’s a skill issue for me
skill issue i just completed 4
it's problem is that why would you ever use guns when you can do gang signs until a person shits themselves
it okay but a lot of scriers is going to be wasted on downtime from reloading
Cause boolet to head do trick when head about to go kaboom
@plucky flax gimme your best bistol build so I can tell you why it sucks, as was foretold many days ago 
I officially suck at this game 😩. I’m a noob
you wont believe this, but half the roster of players on auric are absolutely the same. don't worry and queue up trying to figure out where you're lacking
Bistol is cracked
No no you're doing it wrong
You don't suck at the game
The random Psyker who joined halfway thru is the one who sucks at game
/s

Yes, and the crack is quite significant. It is liable to break apart if used too much.
Wonder why it hasn’t happened to me then
I’ve been taking an interest in the auric maelstrom. It’s been a rough experience for me. I suck and will be playing on the normal mission board
the greatest training for this game is queueing up for things you can't handle and frying muscle memory into your being
get high and play with scriers gaze to go full auto pilot and kill 1000 enemies sibling
I’ve done more than 250 aurics. Maybe it’s a skill issue
Completed the penance for it
Full auto pilot is shriekmaxxing, sibling
I blame myself. It’s just skill issue
mael is about adjusting your build to the current mael more or less. variation in build is not required, but significantly eases things
I'd love to blame myself, but pubs make it really hard
or just zapstaff+firevent
i add people from discord and ruin their experience instead
Using it with kinetic flayer feels so good
I think I should just stick to the normal aurics. Maybe that’ll make be better
fatshark would never create problems on their own (ds zealot)
Just run aur dogtide and practice flame venting
Best, best dopamine rush ever
@lethal lagoon 😈😈😈

Oh yes
This is how I got ASS and MGS with pugs 😂
Or as I prefer to think “Ass Master”
Grabbing a drink

You should have told them with a straight face that it was Brotato time

I already have video. Assail seer presence creeping flames dd
They are not illegal. 

If the inquisition got one look at your bistol, you'd be sent off on the black ships.
Get back to cleaning
I can’t get on anymore

which one do you run
its entirely playable with the base game aiming
not for me
Literally everything is playable
lemme rephrase
idc
Even if it has 1,000 glitches it's playable
ur all blocked
void is good and fun
unblocked
and its perfectly straightforward to aim with it as now
i cant see the dot
stop playing on a CRT from 95?
no

Clad does his best
(it's just not very good)
heavy
yeah shipping that in air freight is a pain
Just get a nice backpack and man up.
an actually good gaming laptop tho
It's what, 40-50 pounds?
I like dot crosshair
Add another 20kp then
i have bane level traps
> naked
> filthy
> no money
> in a foreign country
> got me gamer box
anymore and ill scare people

where enemies
its kinda fun from a "i can solo this mission" perspective
strong of brain?
Mong strength 
no
i can deadlift and shrug ~145-150kg
but i cant bench press 70kg
uses different musk-lees so i guess makes sense
I just slid off a ledge and caused my auric maelstrom team to wipe at the start
kind of a master Psyker, just saying
to the psyker player War Boy Ace
i fucking love you
this mf here
absolute giga chad
What's our best melee weapon for stave build? and best for gun build
Inferno/ Blast - Deimos, DS, Knife or Rashad
Kino - Illisi, Rashad or Chainsword
Voidstrike - whatever
There’s no real “best”
Surge is considered most OP especially rmb.
Illisi is the best horse clear melee
That name and that hat. Bro got taste.
Ds4 best single target melee
But they can still do each others jobs just fine
Each staff is OP
Recon lasgun and vraks mk5 and bolt pistol
Are best guns
Imo
my first ever 1M damage run
Sorry ping doubled
F
he got the ultra swag frame
one of the better psyker players ive encountered in the wild
its also yard.....
my beloved....
oh fuck fuck fuck
my entire team has like +5 wounds
with zero zealots
Well it is scab melee
You know they good players 👍
10 wound minimum for auric maels 




At your command
