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.
Yeah, it's a playstyle I don't really encourage, same as EP smite
It's a game whose entire identity is built around getting gud. Seems backwards to use macros to circumvent that.
i'd argue that this macro is just a weird exploit
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
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
can i post links there for the build im trying to run and someone can tell me if its good ?
it clutters your interface with healthbars so you cant see shit
Not saying it is too much, but I do accept the argument is sensible
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
I mean
I mean, sort of. It also lets you know where enemies are where otherwise visibility would be limited, like through gas
if we go off what Fatshark gave us
that as well
Rofl you're not wrong
if we go off what they explicitly allow then everything is good
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
i mean, fatshark has generally thrown up their hands regarding mods either way.
oh no im not implying anything like that, just saying
it's probably too complicated to sift through good QoL modding and borderline exploit modding
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
or screaming vacuum capsule
Having mods makes the game more appealing to more people. I'm happy with that.
yeah, they don't really impact the game that much in the end
even if someone started one shotting every enemy while flying around the map you aren't losing anything
id just leave
If I didn't have mods, I'd probably have quit playing long ago.
id rather have a cheater then someone who is toxic
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!"
would you rather have a smite player daughter or a vacuum capsule user son
doesn't matter, both are fixable
what is vacuum capsule? i'm not familiar.
fixable in a no-children sort of way? 
no, fixable in a "teach them right" sort of way
I'll have both. 
there is a mod that allows you to play the vacuum capsule voiceline whenever you want
Macros non different than mods
technically it allows any voiceline
Most mods make game easier
No scoreboard, you will datamine your game for info 
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
so your fingers
i'm talking about quell cancel macroing
Yeah bro like I said you can straight do it by hand
you could do it by hand easily eyah
There's a hard limit that's easily achieved with your fingeys
I want to note that iirc the maximum limit of quell cancelling is beyond human reaction times
well, i'm not telling you not to do it
at least I heard that but I never tested it
Tbf every Staff M1 Macro triples the entire team in Damage dealt, its genuine baby mode and I do not like it at all
cuz I don't quell cancel anyway 
I can't get it to work faster myself
With macro
Macro just easier
@stark crown yeah, i think that sums up how i feel as well
I have extreme choice of words for it
"Well you can easily do it with just your hands and keys."
"So you do?"
"No I use a macro."
Carpal Tunnel
carpal tunnel
ye
Melee I understand
but like when its Staff M1 macroing which again
3x Overall team damage
oh if you dont understand melee then you dont know about m1 cancelling mod
Im expecting it to be nerfed and if it doesn't im avoiding Psykers who use it
that shit was straight up insane lol
That's regular psyker stuff
idk if i have clips
Mainly Keep Swinging
i just barrel them
Or that ^
At least the good ones
Im always neck with the actual good ones
staff M1 shuts down the entire game
I literally do not get a chance to play
the quit button is right there 
haven't encountered it
Its hilarious
gunpsyker and gunlugger can also do the same thing
and plasma vet before this patch
with limited ammo on a cooldown
we hates it
All I can say is be thankful you haven't, its so- irritating getting matched with one
cause its like you either sit through it for the resources or just leave
i have also not been playing DT very much
buildcraft has gotten really frustrating
I've been recently seeing Zombies this year is actually promising and good so far
yeah its very fun to play if you're the one playing it
it's usually more fun to be the person doing the ruining than to be the one having the game ruined for them
ruining is a strong word
maybe strong, but i do find it annoying
well there being a clear goal of winning it's not really applicable here
i do agree with it being not fun ofc
i wish people would speak up when im going to fast more
my goal is a fun game, not winning at the expense of fun though.
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
heh
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.
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
They're here for the sandbox, not the challenge, is what it is
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 
which is beyond boring imo
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.
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
You can literally do it just as fast by hand
are you doing it by hand?
I used to
then your hands broke 
i generally dont care about what anyone runs as long as they're not literally throwing
I don't like my fingeys hurting
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
me eyeing the barrel next to the rest of the team and a ledge
but you are definitely free to play whatever
So are most psyker builds at the end of the day
Brain dead builds that literally dominate everything used correctly
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
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.
Fair
It's boring because it's literally 1 answer
kinda like crusher special -> h1 spam
yeah, i think that's exactly what it is actually that i don't like about it.
Oh but animation canceling m2 for like the last 2 years is acceptable?
Cuz pretty much everyone do that
who does that?
i don't even know what that means
Huh?

you mean swap cancel? I never see that
and I definitely don't do it, lol
Noooo never lol
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.
you... you actually do that?
i've never noticed that

Pay attention pretty much everyone in auric that's decent does
Swap cancelling is definitely rarer than quell cancelling as far as I've seen
What? No
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
i feel like i would have noticed it
Dunno what that tech is so i got nothing.
Pretty much everyone I've seen in auric uses some kind of cancelation on the animation using surge staff lol

but no, obviously, i'm not doing that either
What server are you on?
Also @plucky flax that scrier build is funny. I definitely need a different gun though to feel a little more comfortable.
i still hate quell m1 spam
What gun did you play?
I keep spiking myself to 100% and forget that I can't use kinetic deflection at all and need to double down on offense.
Laspistol. Wasn't confident in the blue recon lasgun I got waiting to be built up fully.
Half the fun of it for me is when people mald mid match
stealth zealot you could also totally do by hand with like 90+~ success rate tbh
The issue really was not adjusting to my ranged and melee early between gazes.
@haughty star the goal of upsetting people makes it more pathetic
lowkey agree
esp when you get chat screenshots out of it
Use gaze even at high peril for the 10s of unbound.
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)
You can combine smite and lmb spam for maximum malding
Then if you have assails spam them
like this stuff i saw on reddit the other day
I do lol
Yeah that too. I just wasn't playing with overload in mind when that was the clear point of running it. I'll try again when I get the chance this weekend.
i honestly don't understand why upsetting strangers on a video game is some kind of accomplishment to some people
Execution issue really.
Aye mate. When using unbound I often use it purely for 10s free cast time.
The smite is just nice on the way I run it because it gives me a answer for bulwark packs
well thats cause you're upsetting people by not doing anything that directly targets said strangers
just playing the game as intended
Low hanging fruit is easy to pick 
Its not an accomplishment it's hilarious
Damage is nice but 100% peril + assails spam + cleave is crazy horde clear.

intended is a strong word with m1 spam + quell cancel
I noticed that coincidentally you were already shredding heads for stacks before the pop anyway and I have old habits of using gaze without unbound.
tell that to fatshark
@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
the quit button is right there
you choose who you play with
why should people have to waste their time to indulge you?
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.
else refer to the fatshark statement
I was worried about a whole lot of nothing and died for it.
Truth be told the optimal macro is well within human reaction time
It comes with experience.
Not enough horde
Not enough clear
More
I suppose advanced micr should be shunned because they have more buttons?
Even in solo clutch situation I am so calm since I have to do it so much.
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.
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.
This is why I have this mindset of
Dang, I hate solo clutching and do everything to avoid it 
if you run ahead by yourself and go down
Gazer works best with mk2 laspistol, mk12 recon or vraks infantry indeed
im not reviving you
It feels way worse to lose a clutch than to lose anywhere else
I like recon Las the best.
I like recon 12
You said you're more defensive player so maybe your teammates go down less
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.
Shits so fun
All recon lasgun is cool to me, personally prefer the mk12 because it's just an angry gun
No matter what I do my team always die. 
It just sounds like a hive of some kind of fucked up bees.
Free clutch memes tho
I do think my playstyle helps keep the team alive. I stay in coherency, watch backs, etc.
I like the heavy hitting one too but that bitch is hungry for ammo
Honestly forcing clutches on yourself genuinely makes you get way better at the game I wont lie
It's the 14 that has the better cleave or something right?
but thats just me 🚬
The one that consumes 2 per shot
I use my teammates as meatshield 
that's why i barrel every teammate that i can reach 
Oh. Didn't even notice that actually.
I get a recon and my trigger discipline disappears.
Yeah I think it's the cleave one
so true, make sure to barrel Shroud/Infil user
Especially when a burster is coming 
Lmao, my priority is popping a burster while it's far from the group... if it gets close I'm running
I back away then maybe accidentally explode it 
I do the mistake of trying to push it quite a bit tho, only to have it get shot in my face 
Complains about l1 ruining game and doesn't know why people enjoy. Ruins game for people in a different way
Lmao
@haughty star i think it's a joke
Yes
Only play the way I want you to, I'm the main character
Sarcasm is something they cannot read
We have established the '/s' protocol for such occasions
although I've had people ignore that too
We have these discussions quite frequently griefing on space games
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
for some time i thought that /s meant serious
lol
Lock the fuck in
Wot's the go-to Trauma build? Blazing Spirit/Nexus and Flak... carapace? No idea for talents
the extra crit does seem to help with proccing your blazing spirit
yep that's the important part
I think this is what I use?
Haven't checked my tree in a bit
I'm not terribly worried about carapace. Just wasn't sure
@ripe obsidian personally, i go with crit chance for the extra spicy blazing spirit
I'll give it a go
Yeah, the crit chance is better to fish less for crits
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
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.
as much docket bonuses as you can get
how much % max HP is needed?

21% and 5% should be enough
kinda preference, yeah
I use 1 health and 1 toughness + either stam or health depending on the weapon
Psychic Vampire over Fire Reborn? I guess if you're not guaranteed to get soulblaze then 4% on kill is better
i have one health curios with 21 and 5 to get 205 health
flak unyeilding is my go to
You can use either. I don't remember which one I use, honestly speaking.
no
do we really need the +3 stam tho? I don't feel much difference my stam regen is usually enough
I use it for KD
KD scales peril gen off max stamina
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.
i just checked
The stam is big for pushing effectiveness if that matters to you
I love toughness regen
i run flak and 5% rangeed crit
Seems to be the consensus
dont forget to also use warp unbound so you dont blow up from pushes!!!
Blowing up? Who does that.
you only blow up from force sword extended pushes
hold R
based martyrdom psykers
Lol
wounds are a resource that you should use to maximize effectiveness
if you finish a game with wounds left you didnt play effectively enough
any use for taking 2x max HP?
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
convert png to gifs so you can save them to discord favs
I don't speak in meme, so I'm a little clueless
bottom right of discord
The reason I use 2x health is because I take ER, which reduces toughness gain. I use 1x toughness only because without it I have trouble with gunners. 
still peril
those who warp💀
I use 3x gunner resist, 3x sniper resist, and 3x toughness regen for perks
do we take stam regen ?
and lawd have I tried to not have those, but always go back to them
no
Psyker has short regen delay, can infinitely push anyway
Survival is paramount my friend
Yes 
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
you're missing 3x curio chance
But you're super wrong

that one is debatable cause its not strictly better tbh
Yeah tanky
It's too easy to get perfect curios now. No need regardless
Take all the health and waste it by getting blown over a ledge 
maybe i should try the 2x max hp and see if i can stop causing my team to lose whenever i take ER
Game still refuses to give me a 17%/21% curio 😭
Shame
did they ever fix the 3 stam giving you 2 stam on live?
I check every day, and every day it's just trash curios
if it was below 70 something rating
Yes but no
iirc, only a certain rating gives you 2 while saying 3
He gives 500 weapons now

Which is useless because they'll always have the wrong stats
genuinely think that they forgot about curios then
i know full well that im not gonna do that but if someone does please credit me 🙏 that idea is patented now
Not having high end curios smh
Smh should’ve prayed harder
literally not in the 1% 😔
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.
beautiful symmetry
blessings and perks on knife ?
@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
They’re useful for grinding mastery with a weapon set you don’t actually want to build out
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
I just buy from brunt and upgrade them to sacrifice
🤷♂️
true
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.
BB can still be very good
Soulblaze has respectable damage against flak
So soulblaze trauma still decent there
No always blaze trauma.
Okeydokey
Well, I built a second Trauma anyway. So now I can dual-wield and blow myself up 2x as quickly
fullcharge blauma is incredibly, incredibly good
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.
Tru surge is too op
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
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.
i do have my sword for that i just need a skill tree for those 2
Purg / inferno
flak + personal pref (crit chance, unyielding, etc)
warp nexus + blaze away
dump warp resist
If you want shield, build is the same but change the ability (red). Take a single target melee.
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.
Shriek often. 85% peril gets you to max SB (soulblaze stacks) for creeping flames.
If you are not a KD enjoyer, you don't have to take it.
there are KD enjoyers, then there are people who are wrong
just jk ofc
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i just like KD for the ability to revive anyone under almost any circumstance
I don’t think I’ve said it today I love the Obscurus
I don’t think anyone has ever said that
I think obscurus is neat too
The middle child is cool too you know
Fuck it I live and die by it now
I figured it out
Force spear
Actually are there things like that in 40k? Force polearms?
i think so
There are, I've seen force glaives and stuff.
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?
can you no longer sell weapons?
@austere warren yep, epsilon through "alpha plus"
Where would beta fall under classwise? Trying to remember if I heard delta or beta. The standard scab shooter grunt reported it in their comms before I lopped their head off.
@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.
Beta level psyker is pretty terrifyingly strong, ye
certainly not a beta
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
No, Emperor's the most powerful ever. An alpha plus is a threat to entire worlds, though
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
@kindred edge ah ok, makes sense
which is a better dump stat, quell speed or warp resist? I feel like i want less warp resist because warp=toughness generation
I dunno, you can kinda get away with quell speed as dump if you take the +30% quell speed talent
I might just be misremembering or misinterpreting so there's that.
Delta sounds more in-line or at least closer to what player character psykers are capable of (granted i literally know nothing about all those webs of lore)
Not ideal, still, but not terrible
quell is just so exponential i wouldn't
personally
Yeah, it wouldn't be my first choice either
i can't remember the exacts but the difference between 70 and 80 quell is like multiple seconds on most staves
You're correct, delta seems most appropriate for the player psykers
I didn't know it was that big of a difference. Yeah, if that's the case I wouldn't dump it ever.
okay @nocturne dust i will officially try your heretical nonsense
It's beastly, tbh
where's the nonsense
dumping res instead of crit
truly riveting and experimental
go on, insane person of off-meta usage
M1 staff so boring though
Well, surge is the best staff for it. M1 for little stuff, M2 for big stuff.
yeah the new perks are pretty poggers for mixing the two
the thing i don't like about this mindset is anything that's not dogshit is typically viewed as meta in this game lol
worst part is that it makes it boring for everyone else on your team too
so does a good smiter or good gazer?
killing everything is kinda part of a good psykers thing
To be fair people just smiting all game can go kick rocks too
the best psykers explode the first time they get into combat
Smite is alright when steered well but it's the lowest of the blitzes for me.
+maniac

Assail > brain burst > smite.
but yes, good luck 
Probably takes some getting used to if you're switching from lmb spam
Smites boring, but EP smite shriek will ruin both the scoreboard and the difficulty.
By far the strongest
Not even close
Smite is a great "oh shit" tool but just locking up a horde isn't really as useful as just meleeing them or something
Smh.

EP smite kills ragers in 8 seconds, whether that's 1 or 100. It clears up horde too.
I see
It's crazy boring though
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
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.
yeah seconding atlas here smite will straight up floor a room lol
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
Yeah, I think I haven't encountered that as much
most smykers i see stand in a room's centre, vent, and then get overheaded by some schmuck that they decided not to pay attention to
this except I've been playing Ogryn so I usually end up saving their ass by pulling that one crusher just before it hits them
Shrimply slide dodge while venting. It's 🆓
hey guys could i have some good builds for pysker since the update please and thank you
Purg / inferno #psyker-class message
Surge / electro #psyker-class message
void strike isnt good anymore??
"Give me a build with 0 context"
-Doesn't give exact build he's looking for.
"????"

listen
i dont know what im looking for either
its been awhile but its cool ill play something else thanks for the strike welcome
Fire trauma / voidBLAST
Flak + crit chance
warp nexus + blazing sprit
Mettle was nerfed and ER (Empyric Resolve) reduces thougness gen, so it can feel more fragile right now. If you are a KD enjoyer, you'll need to make a sacrifice. Points are at a premium because ofc.
Still good
Just true aim nerf got it a bit
80% blast radius on voidstrike is fine. Unrelated but imma drop it in here.
voidstrike is strill good even after mettle and true aim nerf
You might have fun with voidstrike and warp unbound (SG mod). You can cast at 100% peril.
I am not a void main or enjoyer tho.
I enjoy void
I have a bit of an unhinged build for it tho
Works fine in Auric tho
Slap surge/nexus and flak/crit chance on and go to town
Power Word: Ball. 🏐
so whats the best way to use each staff and build now
didnt mean to reply my bad
That's the general staff build
switch psychic vampire for in fire reborn (purple nodes) on purgatus
What nerfed true aim
so you do just spam left click or right click with purg
any heavy sworders around here
not in psyker chat
Yes
for gun psyker what are the best blessings for autogun ?
Dorn is cool
Dumdum Deathspitter
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.
can you explain for me what strength is for exactly ? im kinda a noob still and dont understand stats too well yet
is it dmg or what exactly ?
Strength (previously named power) is damage, stagger, and cleave.
oh damn thanks
This game is obtuse af, so please ask or search in the discord. There is so much the game doesn't tell you, explain, or explain well.
also is dum dum bugged ? it seems im getting stacks no matter from where i shoot lol
Not that I know of, but I am not a gunker main.
ah no i've read the description wrong i think
Think short range is 12.5m
it just buffs close range dmg but i guess im getting stacks no matter what
Not bugged, the stack condition is repeated ranged hit
yeah i missunderstood it
Its pretty good:) offers defense and decent enough crowd control great for psyker or in general any character if you use it well.. it looks really cool
I use mk4 just cuz it's easy.
Gotcha
carapace worth it? on crushers and maulers. im doing carapace and elite with scriers and perfect strike
I would say 6 stacks is more orthodox than wildfire
wat?
idk wat you mean
If you are looking for the "standard" staff build
Vanilla
Basic
Adherent to the rules
Hm, well, I dun see anyone else constantly posting builds here so I'm the standard 
Dumdum never heard of a town crier

All I hear is crying about the crier



Okay but still, 6 stacks makes more sense.
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

I mean, I'm not giving builds for 'average' tho, otherwise I'd dump everything except defense 
pubs can't stay alive 😭
Not my job 


Fair.
Honestly a lot of my pub games nothing really happens
But like if I chill back a bit, someone will usually die.
My favorite "clutch" is when I went "afk" in a corner to finish the vet ammo penance.
And they all died
I mean I can generally keep everyone from dying but going down is another story
I almost never rez downed pubs
They usually die in really stupid spots
Which tbf, that's how they died.
And it's not like them being alive was contributing much.
I will always help Psykers with premature e-
Though.
Fair, main reason I take devil's claw and stamina is I can manage stupid revives with it 
But like, think of all the DPS you lost rezzing someone who wasn't doing that much DPS

I would lose more dps by not having meat shields and having to clutch
Clutch is sorta just dps farm tho no? Unless ur bothered by the reduced spawn intensity
I'm bothered by the pressure of having 3 dead people watching me 😭
Spectating good players is a faster way to improve than playing when they don’t know much to begin with
true tho
Me about to commit every mistake in the book because I'm now under pressure
Remember to quick swap weapons while sliding, you’ll look like you know what you’re doing even when you don’t
Because skillz
I was meming and scheming on my level 10 character last night in a T4 when everyone when down but I was still going. My "DO NOT PERCEIVE ME" kicked in so hard. lol
Congratulations
Quell speed or damage on trauma as dump stat?
quell speed
okie
warp res
but quell speed if one or the other
Yeah the general consensus is warp resist, but if you prefer to dump quell, then do that.
where tf are the spawns man....
nice to have but not necessary
it doesnt work as well as it sounds
Yeah. It basically precooks and helps get SB stacks up faster.
Spam shriek for more fire.
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
It isn't dead, it is niche tho. Fire trauma makes some of the better use out of it.
so if enemy dies with 4 stacks does it apply 4 stacks to everyone around that enemy ?
Definitely not
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
every staff? are you assuming shriek build?
yes
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.
ahh ok
thank you
why is it phrased so weirdly
first thing i assumed it would just dump 4 stacks to everyone around the mob
Wildfire helps spread SB beyond your range and help get SB stacks up faster.
Hey just a quick question what is the highest toughness you can get on psyker?
Good question. Are you listening fatshark??? 😭
i mean its that or a tooltip roughly the size ofan essay intro
To be fair, most of their explanations are dookie
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."
it could take less explaining what it does than lmao whats on the tool tip already
sure, put that on a tooltip
skree build best build
players will totally read it
250 very roughly or something iirc
"when enemy dies while affected by your soulblaze spread up to 4 stacks of soublaze evenly to surrounding enemies. They cannot gain more stacks than the dying enemy had."
like this explains what it actually does
dream shit, i want to be a psyker and have demon orbiters
alright search function is being uncooperative. Is the electro staff's dumpstat quell speed, warp resistance or either or
WR
warp res
schlorg bobs
damn found one with minimum quell
Trauma is infinite cleave right?
Si
was double checking to make sure it didnt need warp splitting
forgot to reply, thanks ill screw around with it a little bit
also why is quell prefered over warp resistance for dump stat ?
it isn't
you get more spells out at high peril if you dump for shorter amount of time ?
warp res is preferred
ok thanks
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
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.
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.
I prefer dumping quell because to me it makes edging warp rider feel easier
Quelling ??
In case you don't know, its basically the thing where you reduce your perils, the number with the skull next to it that, if it reaches 100%, makes you explode
Never heard of it
queller? i barely know her
Slightly funny I’ll give you that
is there actual 40k lore behind this goofy ass mask?
Armadillo
dump stat for staff?
warp res, or blast radius on voidstrike
best blessings for the elect staff?
warp nexus right
surge/nexus for lmb spam (which can dump charge speed)
yes
huh just regdamn shocktrooper gauntlet all 3 vets go down while i aggro boss. the signs were clear when they domino'd in previous disabler/ rager waves
deadvoid what blessings on my surge
ah you see, i dont actually need the blessings
i know what to put, i was simply making a joke while replying to my surge staff to get your thoughts on it
true smh my head
i also put the tube on the wrong side
i already switched it though
lmao I would've never noticed
hey what blessings do i want on a electro staff
are you using the left click or right
I asked them to put it in
sometimes psykers wear blindfolds because it enhancess their witch sight
the screws or whatever are probably psy-ehancers
Right, I got that part
Like, "this shit has some mystical properties bro, put it in the armor"
Basically
correct
if you asked the admech that made it they'd probably say, "I don't fucking know but it works doesn't it?"
yes
Deimos never uses the special, so warp resistance doesn't matter
and it's still the dump on illisi
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
neat, i love game balance that encourages you to actively avoid the main mechanics of a weapon
so i also want 60 warp for the staff?
lol, it's actually my favorite force sword specifically because you don't have to use the special
on most staves, yes
i want one
anyone use the devil's claw IV? what's the horde rotation for it? can i left mouse spam or should i force my idiot brain to l1>h2 for the sweeps?
dclaw 7 is better, but light heavy for horde clear
better how?
better move set
I like dclaw 4 cuz it's simpler
parry leads immediately into overhead light
DM me
which is good for single target
i'm new to devil's claw
access to a sweeping heavy immediately is a bit better for horde clear
i think i'm missing the single target you're talking about, you said the light after a parry is overhead?
when you parry an enemy
and your character does the riposte attack
oh sorry, i get it
what's a psyker build that is a kind of "jack of all trades" ? Decent melee, decent ranged capabilities, and decent boss damage.
what's the timing on pressing R on a purg lmb to get soulblaze stacks up if needed in a situation? can't seem to figure it out
i do it accidentally sometimes lmao
Wat
imo psyker never really gets decent melee. Psyker is largely a ranged class.
Gunker kinda does everything because they're also meleeker
but is imo a whole lot weaker than staffker
wdym?
R? Quell? 
ye
my bad
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
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
that makes sense, its seems like a super narrow window
Surge / electro staff + PC + creeping flames + illisi
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.
yeh
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.
To be fair tho, some things are easier to quell cancel than others.
Make a gun psyker, put a melee weapon in their hand, watch everything die
Psyker biggest boss dps is for sure gunker. Melee and gun psyker have nearly the same build.
Beam staff wheeeeeeeeeen
Now show them the efficient way with h2 
No special is cooler 
Science is coolest, and it would be comparative science to have a video of h2 alongside a video of special

Nah, it's cool
It's why I take thrust on dueling sword

nah, I really like the immediate dropping of the big fat chonky guy that is annoying
It makes my seratonin flow
Only thing that would be better is if it was Grunt Birthday Party
Whilst working on a project I needed the sound effect of the GBP Skull in action and I couldn't find a good one so I ended up capturing it myself. So if you need it as well. Here's the one I was happy with.
The children cheering sound is from a sound effect library created in the 1970s. Which is why you can hear versions of the GBP skull across...
erm
errmm
u don’t have to do the push attack
empowered attacks on the fs do the same damage on h1 or h2
holy noob alert
can’t stand these noobs….
ruining my auric games..
they’re the reason i’m only getting 200k damage with a rashad…
I'm trying to understand assail, not just what its purpose is by how the damn thing actually works.
you throw, it go
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?
It has soft targeting around your cursor, RMB has hard targeting on the first target and then soft targeting
also RMB does slightly more damage
so if I pass my cursor over a crowd, ittle just kinda pick one it feels like (non derogatory) meanwhile the right mouse has a slower fire rate but I can pick one to specifically mess with
Assail is under "Blitz Nodes (Part III)".
Edit: I never posted the link lol! Sorry. Here it is. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3094028505
This guide explains all of Psyker's talents and related mechanics. Talents of the other classes are detailed elsewhere:
Ogryn's talents

rmb does more damage, goes faster, and will always hit the target you threw it at first before any other targets
good for snipers
like, say, the squishier elites.
yes
oh it does do more neat!
Sorry. Added the link this time
I have learned that Trauma instapops bursters. This is not always ideal.
It's good and it isn't good
It's good when my team is not sprinting past me to push the burster
It's bad when my team is flying in at mach speed to push the burster
any explosive damage will instantly kill a burster
I normally do not have explosive damage
you know i dont get something so when i'm using smite to stun lock heretics and a teammate is downed why dont other teammates help revive them
Typically I use Smite on extra poxburster modifiers to shove them away
I'm busy killing the smited targets sorry
Suffer not the weak to live.
what so teammates just go after smited targets instead of reviving said downed teammate?
Since is explosive damage you can make a bon spew your teammate during the swallowing animation 
I did not know that either. How exactly does that work?
Just make sure to give a good charge first
Neat

14% 😭
After moving to Auric Maelstrom, Auric HISTG is almost relaxing. Almost.
@nocturne dust I tried your unhinged voidstrike build and it was the most fun I've had with with.
the feet shooting voidstrike build?
Which unhinged build is that?
Fire dumb, use balls
The one I gave you earlier iirc
Ah, the one after my build hurt you
maybe?
This one
...I've been on this Discord too much today
yes
This one.
When do you use Assail with Voidstrike?
melee weaving
or for faster anti elite
because I need the points
When, not why
also when smaller shooters are scattered around
also true
i have a few voidblast force staves and i want to upgrade one, which stat would you say is less important- warp resistance or quell speed? or charge rate
Warp resist
I mainly use assail for 'things are everywhere and I shouldn't be here but I can't just leave them so here, have some glass shards to the face'
while I run away
No assails upgrade is sad
but yes, you use it for scattered shooters and such
It really doesn't need it I find
10 shards is plenty, you use voidstrike mostly
and I need the points
does that build have
Guess you don't use it as much as me
that's what i thought, thanks
warp splitter, yes
Melee weave means things are in your face. So to help with hordes or stagger things that are right up on you.
It's a voidstrike build, so of course it has warp splitter
then yeah u don’t really need assail upgrades
i don’t play psyker ok all of my information i get thru diffusion and dissemination
so it’s a little unclear
You can also pop off a few shards to just give yourself some time to reposition defensively or aggresively.
Yep
I like using assail as a space cutter against shooters

Giving psyker advice but not a psyker 
Like, there's a lot of things the build would love to have. Perilous combustion is literally one point away, it just literally doesn't have the point. Nothing on that build is expendable.
i wasn’t giving advice
just lurkin
But it is my favorite voidstrike build because it's fun and you get to spam balls everywhere without a care.
i was just ensuring that’s why they didn’t take any upgrades
because i wanted 2 be well informed
for whenever i do go back to playing psyker

gooner.
Hey you said it
