I just dont wanna tune it anymore

#

And if it's faster it doesn't work to spam l1 on sword

#

Fully auto deimos poke

bronze cloak
#

cant you just bind quell to lmb

#

for the same effect p muchh

haughty star
#

Its slower

#

Than you can do freehand by a Longshot

orchid ibex
#

i don't care much what people do but using macros to abuse quell canceling does kind of feel like you just hate playing the game at that point.

nocturne dust
#

Yeah, it's a playstyle I don't really encourage, same as EP smite

fringe garden
#

It's a game whose entire identity is built around getting gud. Seems backwards to use macros to circumvent that.

radiant frigate
#

i'd argue that this macro is just a weird exploit

orchid ibex
#

it's the same with how some mods are in really dicey territory beyond just QoL or accessibility and just straight up making the game easier

fringe garden
#

I'm on the fence with the healthbar mod. It's super useful, the information it provides helps you make better decisions. It is easily debatable if it's too much

bronze cloak
#

can i post links there for the build im trying to run and someone can tell me if its good ?

vernal frost
#

it clutters your interface with healthbars so you cant see shit

fringe garden
#

Not saying it is too much, but I do accept the argument is sensible

orchid ibex
#

it's information you weren't meant to have and lets you have an efficiency you really shouldn't get without actually using your brain/knowledge

#

but it's not really the worst

nocturne dust
#

I mean

fringe garden
nocturne dust
#

if we go off what Fatshark gave us

orchid ibex
#

that as well

nocturne dust
#

we were meant to have wrong information and lies

fringe garden
vernal frost
#

if we go off what they explicitly allow then everything is good

radiant frigate
#

deceptions

vernal frost
#

like this

fringe garden
#

Just like the 40k novels the narrator is always unreliable

#

I'm not arguing that the mods are cheating. I don't particularly care if someone uses it. I just accept that anyone who does feel they are too much have a reasonable argument

orchid ibex
#

i mean, fatshark has generally thrown up their hands regarding mods either way.

vernal frost
#

oh no im not implying anything like that, just saying

orchid ibex
#

it's probably too complicated to sift through good QoL modding and borderline exploit modding

nocturne dust
#

I mean, I agree with Fatshark's take. It's all fine as long as you aren't doing something that ruins the fun for others like deleting all enemies everywhere

vernal frost
#

or screaming vacuum capsule

fringe garden
#

Having mods makes the game more appealing to more people. I'm happy with that.

orchid ibex
#

yeah, they don't really impact the game that much in the end

vagrant grove
#

even if someone started one shotting every enemy while flying around the map you aren't losing anything

#

id just leave

nocturne dust
#

If I didn't have mods, I'd probably have quit playing long ago.

vagrant grove
#

id rather have a cheater then someone who is toxic

orchid ibex
#

i use a few mods too, i definitely get that. i've been using little ones like FTE so i can retag ammo without my character just shouting "mine!"

vernal frost
#

would you rather have a smite player daughter or a vacuum capsule user son

radiant frigate
vagrant grove
#

vacuum capsule son would get old really fast

#

smite i can at least play around it

orchid ibex
#

what is vacuum capsule? i'm not familiar.

nocturne dust
radiant frigate
vagrant grove
haughty star
#

Macros non different than mods

nocturne dust
#

technically it allows any voiceline

haughty star
#

Most mods make game easier

nocturne dust
orchid ibex
#

anything that lets you turn a staff into a machine gun with a single button press feels like an exploit to me though, no offense

vernal frost
#

so your fingers

orchid ibex
#

i'm talking about quell cancel macroing

haughty star
#

Yeah bro like I said you can straight do it by hand

vernal frost
#

you could do it by hand easily eyah

haughty star
#

There's a hard limit that's easily achieved with your fingeys

nocturne dust
orchid ibex
#

well, i'm not telling you not to do it

nocturne dust
#

at least I heard that but I never tested it

stark crown
nocturne dust
#

cuz I don't quell cancel anyway KEKW_ogryn

haughty star
#

With macro

#

Macro just easier

orchid ibex
#

@stark crown yeah, i think that sums up how i feel as well

stark crown
#

I have extreme choice of words for it

vernal frost
#

macro prevents you from getting the whatsitcalled

#

hand thing

thorn cedar
#

"Well you can easily do it with just your hands and keys."
"So you do?"
"No I use a macro."

stark crown
radiant frigate
vernal frost
#

ye

stark crown
#

Melee I understand

#

but like when its Staff M1 macroing which again

#

3x Overall team damage

vernal frost
#

oh if you dont understand melee then you dont know about m1 cancelling mod

stark crown
#

Im expecting it to be nerfed and if it doesn't im avoiding Psykers who use it

vernal frost
#

that shit was straight up insane lol

haughty star
vernal frost
#

idk if i have clips

thorn cedar
#

i just barrel them

stark crown
haughty star
#

At least the good ones

stark crown
#

Im always neck with the actual good ones

#

staff M1 shuts down the entire game

#

I literally do not get a chance to play

vernal frost
#

the quit button is right there KEKW_ogryn

stark crown
#

Exactly its why I leave when I see them lmao

#

its baby mode

radiant frigate
#

haven't encountered it

haughty star
#

Its hilarious

vagrant grove
#

gunpsyker and gunlugger can also do the same thing

#

and plasma vet before this patch

thorn cedar
#

with limited ammo on a cooldown

vagrant grove
#

oh yeah sorry i am agreeing

#

its baby mode and it can be super annoying

radiant frigate
#

we hates it

vagrant grove
#

same

#

sadly i also know im part of the problem

stark crown
#

cause its like you either sit through it for the resources or just leave

radiant frigate
#

buildcraft has gotten really frustrating

stark crown
#

I've been recently seeing Zombies this year is actually promising and good so far

vernal frost
orchid ibex
#

it's usually more fun to be the person doing the ruining than to be the one having the game ruined for them

vernal frost
#

ruining is a strong word

orchid ibex
#

maybe strong, but i do find it annoying

vernal frost
#

well there being a clear goal of winning it's not really applicable here

#

i do agree with it being not fun ofc

vagrant grove
#

i wish people would speak up when im going to fast more

orchid ibex
#

my goal is a fun game, not winning at the expense of fun though.

vagrant grove
#

ive only had a few people tell me and i did slow down and play more conservatively but sometimes ill have more damage then all three of my teammates combined and they just keep pinging stuff for me

#

i was playing gunlugger yesterday and my team pinged literally every ammo drop for me so i could just spray, they just did a skull ping on whatever horde they wanted deleted

#

it was pretty fun

vernal frost
#

heh

orchid ibex
#

i get why people like just rolling everything, i just don't personally understand the need. if you remove too much challenge from the game why bother.

haughty star
#

Honestly at the difficulties I play at there's still plenty of shit to kill lol. It's just fun to run every once in a while

nocturne dust
stark crown
#

Look there's a difference between rolling through mechanical skill of like focusing melee, and then just sitting in the backline deleting everything by using a macro KEKW_ogryn

#

which is beyond boring imo

orchid ibex
#

i'm only doing damnation/auric, it's not about the difficulty i'm on. i still don't want to just hose everything down with a macro.

nocturne dust
#

ngl, I'm also a sandbox enjoyer. I like steamrolling things. It of course gets boring if that's the only thing you do, but I probably have a much higher tolerance for it than the average person

haughty star
#

You can literally do it just as fast by hand

orchid ibex
#

are you doing it by hand?

haughty star
#

I used to

nocturne dust
#

then your hands broke KEKW_ogryn

vernal frost
#

i generally dont care about what anyone runs as long as they're not literally throwing

haughty star
#

I don't like my fingeys hurting

orchid ibex
#

and even if you could, my point still stands that it's a braindead build that i don't think is fun to play or play on a team with

nocturne dust
orchid ibex
#

but you are definitely free to play whatever

haughty star
haughty star
#

Brain dead builds that literally dominate everything used correctly

nocturne dust
#

I mean, that's every meta build, or really just builds

#

The purpose of a build is to do well and cover any flaw of individual components, generally

#

It's about how much 'ease' or 'braindead' you want I guess

orchid ibex
#

don't get me wrong i love trying to come up with the most powerful build i can, but there is something qualitatively different to me using a quell cancel m1 thing, it's just my personal opinion here.

nocturne dust
#

Fair

#

It's boring because it's literally 1 answer

#

kinda like crusher special -> h1 spam

orchid ibex
#

yeah, i think that's exactly what it is actually that i don't like about it.

haughty star
#

Cuz pretty much everyone do that

orchid ibex
#

i don't even know what that means

nocturne dust
#

you mean swap cancel? I never see that

#

and I definitely don't do it, lol

haughty star
orchid ibex
#

i'm a pretty vanilla player i think, so i'm probably not aware of some of that. i have no idea what you're referring to though, honestly.

nocturne dust
#

Neither do I

#

only thing I can think of is swap and quell cancels

haughty star
#

Swap cancel lol

#

Cancels the animation

nocturne dust
orchid ibex
#

i've never noticed that

nocturne dust
haughty star
nocturne dust
#

Swap cancelling is definitely rarer than quell cancelling as far as I've seen

nocturne dust
#

Nobody does that

#

I've played with quite a few psykers in this Discord

#

I can't remember any of them using it, outside of maybe one or two memes/shenanigan runs

orchid ibex
#

i feel like i would have noticed it

austere warren
#

Dunno what that tech is so i got nothing.

haughty star
#

Pretty much everyone I've seen in auric uses some kind of cancelation on the animation using surge staff lol

nocturne dust
orchid ibex
#

but no, obviously, i'm not doing that either

nocturne dust
#

What server are you on?

austere warren
#

Also @plucky flax that scrier build is funny. I definitely need a different gun though to feel a little more comfortable.

orchid ibex
#

i still hate quell m1 spam

austere warren
#

I keep spiking myself to 100% and forget that I can't use kinetic deflection at all and need to double down on offense.

austere warren
haughty star
vernal frost
#

stealth zealot you could also totally do by hand with like 90+~ success rate tbh

austere warren
#

The issue really was not adjusting to my ranged and melee early between gazes.

orchid ibex
#

@haughty star the goal of upsetting people makes it more pathetic

vernal frost
nocturne dust
vernal frost
#

esp when you get chat screenshots out of it

plucky flax
#

Use gaze even at high peril for the 10s of unbound.

austere warren
#

So id be in terrible positions where KD wouldn't help because it's gone.

(I also got dog curios on me atm. Idk how much that matters)

nocturne dust
#

You can combine smite and lmb spam for maximum malding

plucky flax
#

Then if you have assails spam them

vernal frost
#

like this stuff i saw on reddit the other day

nocturne dust
austere warren
orchid ibex
#

i honestly don't understand why upsetting strangers on a video game is some kind of accomplishment to some people

plucky flax
#

Aye mate. When using unbound I often use it purely for 10s free cast time.

haughty star
# nocturne dust

The smite is just nice on the way I run it because it gives me a answer for bulwark packs

vernal frost
#

well thats cause you're upsetting people by not doing anything that directly targets said strangers

#

just playing the game as intended

nocturne dust
haughty star
plucky flax
#

Damage is nice but 100% peril + assails spam + cleave is crazy horde clear.

vernal frost
nocturne dust
austere warren
vernal frost
orchid ibex
#

@vernal frost right but people are telling you that the overtuned nature of macroing m1 quell cancel spam is draining the fun out of the game

#

it does effect them

vernal frost
#

you choose who you play with

orchid ibex
#

why should people have to waste their time to indulge you?

austere warren
#

At lower levels though, it doesn't seem like it matters since you're already spinning 100% peril assail damage, disrupt destiny procs, other talent procs, etc.

vernal frost
#

else refer to the fatshark statement

austere warren
#

I was worried about a whole lot of nothing and died for it.

haughty star
plucky flax
#

It comes with experience.

haughty star
#

I suppose advanced micr should be shunned because they have more buttons?

plucky flax
#

Even in solo clutch situation I am so calm since I have to do it so much.

austere warren
# plucky flax It comes with experience.

Pretty much. All of my scrier and dd builds are usually just not messing around with force weapons and are with duelling swords/combat knives and laspistol/lasgun/infantry autogun.

#

I wanna eventually try out vigilant with it.

orchid ibex
#

it's not fun to play with in the same way that a knife zealot zooming ahead and going down derails the cooperative side of the game, just from another direction. you shouldn't go out of your way to lessen the fun of others in a game.

stark crown
nocturne dust
stark crown
#

if you run ahead by yourself and go down

plucky flax
#

Gazer works best with mk2 laspistol, mk12 recon or vraks infantry indeed

stark crown
#

im not reviving you

nocturne dust
#

It feels way worse to lose a clutch than to lose anywhere else

plucky flax
#

I like recon Las the best.

haughty star
#

I like recon 12

plucky flax
austere warren
#

I like recons now that they're way better than before. Didn't care for how the old system felt with how narrow they needed to be built.

haughty star
#

Shits so fun

austere warren
#

All recon lasgun is cool to me, personally prefer the mk12 because it's just an angry gun

plucky flax
#

No matter what I do my team always die. whatthefuck_heresy

austere warren
#

It just sounds like a hive of some kind of fucked up bees.

plucky flax
#

Free clutch memes tho

nocturne dust
haughty star
#

I like the heavy hitting one too but that bitch is hungry for ammo

stark crown
#

Honestly forcing clutches on yourself genuinely makes you get way better at the game I wont lie

austere warren
stark crown
#

but thats just me 🚬

haughty star
#

The one that consumes 2 per shot

plucky flax
vernal frost
austere warren
#

I get a recon and my trigger discipline disappears.

haughty star
#

Yeah I think it's the cleave one

stark crown
plucky flax
nocturne dust
plucky flax
#

I back away then maybe accidentally explode it whatthefuck_heresy

nocturne dust
#

I do the mistake of trying to push it quite a bit tho, only to have it get shot in my face KEKW_ogryn

haughty star
#

Lmao

orchid ibex
#

@haughty star i think it's a joke

stark crown
nocturne dust
#

although I've had people ignore that too

haughty star
stark crown
#

Dead serious with you, I avoid whats the term, media? Facebook/Twitter/etc whatever right like a plague so I genuinely never understood what any of those meant

vernal frost
#

for some time i thought that /s meant serious

nocturne dust
#

lol

stark crown
ripe obsidian
#

Wot's the go-to Trauma build? Blazing Spirit/Nexus and Flak... carapace? No idea for talents

nocturne dust
#

flak and crit chance

#

you can use carapace tho

#

if you prefer

orchid ibex
#

the extra crit does seem to help with proccing your blazing spirit

nocturne dust
#

yep that's the important part

#

I think this is what I use?

#

Haven't checked my tree in a bit

ripe obsidian
orchid ibex
#

@ripe obsidian personally, i go with crit chance for the extra spicy blazing spirit

ripe obsidian
#

I'll give it a go

nocturne dust
heavy bane
#

what do we do in Curios? I've seen many variations of toughness maxHP and sometimes one stamina, is it just whatever you feel like or is there an objective best

vernal frost
#

there's a sniper breakpoint somewhere im pretty sure

#

so you dont get one tapped

ripe obsidian
#

200+ HP as your final goal, 20% sniper resist

#

Makes snipers do... 98 damage?

#

So you can survive 2

#

And also survive 2 poxbursters with the 200+ hp

#

The rest is mostly preference.

vernal frost
#

as much docket bonuses as you can get

heavy bane
#

how much % max HP is needed?

vernal frost
orchid ibex
#

21% and 5% should be enough

nocturne dust
#

I use 1 health and 1 toughness + either stam or health depending on the weapon

ripe obsidian
orchid ibex
#

i have one health curios with 21 and 5 to get 205 health

nocturne dust
nocturne dust
#

You using trauma on bosses?

split lance
#

no

heavy bane
#

do we really need the +3 stam tho? I don't feel much difference my stam regen is usually enough

nocturne dust
#

then just stagger the ogryns to death

#

🤷‍♂️

nocturne dust
#

KD scales peril gen off max stamina

split lance
#

wait

#

on trauma

ripe obsidian
#

I use:
2x 17% toughness
1x 21% health

1x 20% sniper resist
2x 20% gunner resist
1x 5% health
3x 5% toughness
2x 30% toughness regen

Toughness regen is contentious. Not everyone likes it.

split lance
#

i just checked

fringe garden
#

The stam is big for pushing effectiveness if that matters to you

nocturne dust
#

I love toughness regen

split lance
#

i run flak and 5% rangeed crit

ripe obsidian
vernal frost
nocturne dust
#

wat

fringe garden
#

Blowing up? Who does that.

nocturne dust
split lance
#

hold R

nocturne dust
#

so just... don't do that when you have high peril

#

🤷‍♂️

vernal frost
fringe garden
#

Lol

nocturne dust
vernal frost
#

wounds are a resource that you should use to maximize effectiveness

vernal frost
#

if you finish a game with wounds left you didnt play effectively enough

heavy bane
#

any use for taking 2x max HP?

fringe garden
#

Do people just keep a folder of gifs and images just open on their desktop at all times? Like some people's meme response time is just plain ridiculous

vernal frost
#

convert png to gifs so you can save them to discord favs

fringe garden
#

I don't speak in meme, so I'm a little clueless

orchid ibex
#

bottom right of discord

nocturne dust
half iron
#

still peril
those who warp💀

nocturne dust
#

I use 3x gunner resist, 3x sniper resist, and 3x toughness regen for perks

heavy bane
#

do we take stam regen ?

nocturne dust
#

and lawd have I tried to not have those, but always go back to them

nocturne dust
#

Psyker has short regen delay, can infinitely push anyway

heavy bane
nocturne dust
vernal frost
#

3x dockets 3x xp is bis cause everything else affects things you can affect with your own gameplay choices/skill

#

I mean, you're not wrong

But you're super wrong

#

It's too easy to get perfect curios now. No need regardless

nocturne dust
#

Take all the health and waste it by getting blown over a ledge chadgryn

orchid ibex
#

maybe i should try the 2x max hp and see if i can stop causing my team to lose whenever i take ER

nocturne dust
fringe garden
#

Shame

vernal frost
#

did they ever fix the 3 stam giving you 2 stam on live?

nocturne dust
#

I check every day, and every day it's just trash curios

vernal frost
#

if it was below 70 something rating

nocturne dust
#

iirc, only a certain rating gives you 2 while saying 3

vernal frost
#

so they didnt

#

i c

nocturne dust
#

but it's a smaller window now or something

#

so they fixed some of them

vernal frost
#

fun shit

#

does melk give you max level curios tho?

nocturne dust
#

no

#

😔

#

He should, honestly

vernal frost
#

thought they changed him to give you upgraded stuff

#

weird

nocturne dust
#

He gives 500 weapons now

#

Which is useless because they'll always have the wrong stats

vernal frost
#

genuinely think that they forgot about curios then

nocturne dust
#

You could try reporting it as a bug on the forums

#

🤷‍♂️

vernal frost
#

i know full well that im not gonna do that but if someone does please credit me 🙏 that idea is patented now

plucky flax
#

Not having high end curios smh

today i had an ogryn pox burster jump up a ledge back up to where i was downed to save me. it's always the ogryn you can count on.

plucky flax
#

2 ogryn teammates died and instant left this morning

#

Balance out

orchid ibex
#

beautiful symmetry

heavy bane
#

blessings and perks on knife ?

orchid ibex
#

@heavy bane i typically go uncanny and riposte

#

perks you can probably go with flak, maniac, carapace, and unyielding and get value from any

#

i often take maniac because it helps you take out a surprise rager with push stabs a little faster potentially

zinc phoenix
#

Like I’m never gonna play ogryn after getting through its penance and mastery stuff so I’m not spending resources on developing gear for it

nocturne dust
#

🤷‍♂️

zinc phoenix
#

I did that for a few that I really really hated

#

But it’s a lot of clicking

nocturne dust
#

true

ripe obsidian
#

I assume for melee-only scab, trauma should use the rending perk instead of soulblaze?

#

I tried Trauma for a few games and like it more than when I last used it. Still kind of braindead, though

#

I stole a zealot's book.

late yew
#

BB can still be very good

nocturne dust
jovial juniper
plucky flax
#

I use BB for KF. Pogryn

#

Free damage.

ripe obsidian
#

Well, I built a second Trauma anyway. So now I can dual-wield and blow myself up 2x as quickly

left basin
#

fullcharge blauma is incredibly, incredibly good

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, I like it more than I remembered

#

Not as fun as Voidstrike, arguably more braindead than Purg

#

But I'll put it above Surge for fun. I don't really like Surge.

plucky flax
#

Tru surge is too op

iron star
#

can som1 tell me a rly good build for flamethrower + the electric stun as G + ability the pushback

and also electric stuff + shield + brain pop

i want build in traits etc

strong gulch
#

The purg / inferno staff and smite have too much overlap. If you want to run both, go for it tho.

Surge / electro staff struggles with hordes hordes and pairs better with smite and a horde clear melee.

Both staves work with shriek + creeping flames modifier.

iron star
plucky flax
#

Burga smite user when the sniper is 50m away.

strong gulch
#

EK/ Surge / electro (non-havoc)

flak + personal pref (unyielding, maniac, elite damage, etc)
warp flurry + warp nexus
dump warp resist

Smite is rarely used but is there for oh shit moments (this is not a smite focused build; only has a single point of investment). If you want more damage at the cost of a rarely used CC option, choose BB + KF (like purg / inferno build) for blitz.

Shriek often. 85% peril consistently gets you to max SB (soulblaze) stacks for creeping flames.

Take a horde clear melee option to balance with the single target nature of surge/ EK staff; illisi force sword fills that role and has peril gen that helps fuel shriek spam.

If you are not a KD (kinetic deflection) enjoyer, you don't have to take it.

Fuck it I live and die by it now

austere warren
#

I figured it out

#

Force spear

#

Actually are there things like that in 40k? Force polearms?

patent mango
#

i think so

orchid ibex
#

There are, I've seen force glaives and stuff.

austere warren
#

I want to at least have a spear beam, maybe that could be the force spear thing or whatever.

#

And cover sienna beam staff

#

But like a pulse blast instead or aomething.

#

Idk shit about the different classes of psyker but I've heard scab enemies refer to mine as a "beta" or whatever. There's like 5 classes of psyker right?

#

All Greek letter shit?

misty cypress
#

can you no longer sell weapons?

orchid ibex
#

@austere warren yep, epsilon through "alpha plus"

austere warren
orchid ibex
#

@austere warren not sure but I think a beta would be pretty far up there. It may have also just been a guard callsign they were using.

kindred edge
#

Beta level psyker is pretty terrifyingly strong, ye

orchid ibex
#

Yeah, beta would be way up there. I think alpha/alpha plus is pretty much on par with the emperor, before he was turned into a traffic light

haughty star
#

so cleave is infinite on surge currect?

#

for rmb

kindred edge
#

I think delta is the lowest that can serve in the Guard as a combat psyker, so that's probably what the Reject psykers are

haughty star
#

also is void kinda like plasma where it has no dump?

#

or is dump BR

kindred edge
#

BR is voidstrike dump

#

Voidblast is WR I think.

orchid ibex
#

@kindred edge ah ok, makes sense

misty cypress
#

which is a better dump stat, quell speed or warp resist? I feel like i want less warp resist because warp=toughness generation

haughty star
#

depends on the stave

#

but never quell

kindred edge
#

I dunno, you can kinda get away with quell speed as dump if you take the +30% quell speed talent

austere warren
kindred edge
#

Not ideal, still, but not terrible

haughty star
#

personally

kindred edge
#

Yeah, it wouldn't be my first choice either

Smites boring, but EP smite shriek will ruin both the scoreboard and the difficulty.

By far the strongest

Not even close

orchid ibex
#

Smite is a great "oh shit" tool but just locking up a horde isn't really as useful as just meleeing them or something

lethal lagoon

Smh.

#

EP smite kills ragers in 8 seconds, whether that's 1 or 100. It clears up horde too.

orchid ibex
#

I see

lethal lagoon
#

It's crazy boring though

kindred edge
#

I have an EP Smite build saved. I just don't use Smite except in emergencies. Kinda like playing an optimized caster back in D&D 3.5. I'll save my best spells so everyone else can have fun but if we start to lose out come the big guns

austere warren
#

I just flow into ep smite when the fight calls for it, hold as necessary then immediately let go or reposition and push the horde in a way that actually better crowds them for my aoe, teammate aoe/attacks period. It works pretty efficiently.

#

Albeit, the most entertaining psyker to me is most stuff running scrier and dd at the same time.

haughty star
#

that's the only real reason to dislike it tbh is because it's outrageously overpowered in the right hands

#

i'm kinda mixed on it cuz a good smiker can make a game fucking boring, but the one's that are both good AND use it conservatively are poggers in certain moments

# wheat monolith so whats the best way to use each staff and build now

Surge is fast and doesn't require a lot for aiming on the RMB. It's great for specials and shooters and is good for all elites. Purg LMB/ praimary is for stagger (ragers, maulers, shotgunners) and RMB / secondary for hordes and suppression, but crushers will need something else to really manage them. Trauma RMB is great on hordes and elites (mixed hordes); LMB for suppression and really far shooters.

All of them use a various of the warp charge build that DeadVoid posted #psyker-class message. That kind of all aim to do creeping flame (shriek) and PC spam.

bronze cloak
#

is it dmg or what exactly ?

strong gulch
#

Strength (previously named power) is damage, stagger, and cleave.

Especially since the average psyker isn't going to be spamming shriek on CD anyways

So plenty of time will be spent at 6 stacks

Yeah the general consensus is warp resist, but if you prefer to dump quell, then do that.

for blaze trauma should i take wildfire or not ?

#

not sure how it works

crisp yacht

it doesnt work as well as it sounds

Spam shriek for more fire.

bronze cloak
#

i assume its difficulty depended too ? like on damnation is not a dead perk i hope ?

#

i've did some runs yesterday with my friends

#

on damnation and we really needed wave clear

#

so figured might go for trauma

strong gulch
#

It isn't dead, it is niche tho. Fire trauma makes some of the better use out of it.

bronze cloak
#

so if enemy dies with 4 stacks does it apply 4 stacks to everyone around that enemy ?

nocturne dust
#

I would recommend wildfire for maximum dps on aurics for every staff

#

but, y'know, if you're looking at a strong preference talent, you can probably drop wildfire for it

crisp yacht
nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

Wildfire has a cap of 4 and speads stacks evenly. If an enemy with 4 sb stacks dies and is surrounded, it will give 1 sb stack to 4 enemies.

bronze cloak
#

thank you

#

why is it phrased so weirdly

#

first thing i assumed it would just dump 4 stacks to everyone around the mob

strong gulch
#

Wildfire helps spread SB beyond your range and help get SB stacks up faster.

rigid mortar
#

Hey just a quick question what is the highest toughness you can get on psyker?

strong gulch
thorn cedar
#

i mean its that or a tooltip roughly the size ofan essay intro

strong gulch
#

To be fair, most of their explanations are dookie

thorn cedar
#

yea cause you'd have to write so fucking much that most people would just roll their eyes

#

"Whenever an enemy who is affected by at least two stacks of Psyker's Soulblaze dies, Soulblaze is spread to valid targets within a 5m radius. Targets do not receive Soulblaze stacks caused by the talent if they already have 4 stacks or more on them. Valid targets can receive Soulblaze stacks up to a maximum of 4 that are caused by the talent. Daemonhosts are no valid targets.

The amount of Soulblaze stacks that is spread depends on the amount of Soulblaze stacks on the dying enemy: If the enemy dies with 1 stack, no spread; if dying with 2 stacks, 2 stacks will spread; if dying with 3 stacks, 3 stacks will spread; if dying with 4 stacks, 4 stacks will spread; if dying with more than 4 stacks, only 4 stacks will spread.

The maximum amount of valid targets is 4: If 4 stacks are to be spread and 4 targets are in range, each target receives 1 stack; if 4 stacks are to be spread and 3 targets are in range, 1 target receives 2 stacks while the other 2 targets receive 1 stack each, etc."

bronze cloak
#

also why is quell prefered over warp resistance for dump stat ?

bronze cloak
#

you get more spells out at high peril if you dump for shorter amount of time ?

nocturne dust
#

warp res is preferred

bronze cloak
#

ok thanks

nocturne dust
#

quell speed is a dump because of preference for some people, not because it's more effective/useful to dump it over warp res

#

warp res is the stat you dump on every staff (except voidstrike) because it doesn't do much and the negative of dumping it is super minimal

urban jungle
#

I... prefer Warp Res over Quell Speed, because I spam secondary attacks on most staffs (except the Flamer one) and the one I need it on the most is the Trauma Force Staff, where fully charging them is needed for big damage.

nocturne dust
#

To be fair, quell speed was more a preference thing before the latest update. I'm unsure if the supporters of it from before are still into it what with ER being a thing.

ivory path
#

I prefer dumping quell because to me it makes edging warp rider feel easier

deimos can use special for muties for a one shot no?

You can one-shot muties with h2

h2 does more damage than the special more efficiently

There is never a reason to use the special, it makes you vulnerable and does damage slowly

i don't want to use a macro, just manually because i dont see a reason to spam it. only really need it in certain situations

nocturne dust
#

ah, you're talking about quell cancelling

#

you really don't need to do it at any difficulty, especially on any build that isn't lmb spam

#

but, if you really want to use it, it's a matter of learning the timing yourself. I think the timing is ~0.3 - 0.4 seconds according to one of the macro users

fast coral
#

that makes sense, its seems like a super narrow window

It's not super narrow, I was able to do it first try to some degree, it's just a matter of how efficient you want to be with it.

Although, to note, the first try is also my only try out of curiosity

#

I don't quell cancel and run aurics all day. It really isn't needed, even with lmb spam which wants it most.

but if you want that max dps, go for it I guess, lol

Quell canceling is cool and can bump up what you do, BUT fecking up your quell cancel is worse than the standard speed.

and sometimes it hits 3 targets, sometimes 2 maybe none. Where do I point my cursor. it kinda follows the cursor but not exaclty, how does that work. Is it like the halflife 2 rocket launcher or something else, how many enemies can I hit in one throw, what are the different use cases for the primary and secondary fire versions?

See my confusion?
