I was never a sienna enjoyer
Darktide should make its own staves, with blackjack! And hookers!
The fire skulls from pyromancer.
And the original assail, that fire bolt that she can throw.
no, not either of these
I don't have the game installed i can't check what one I'm thinking about
Not the fire arrows that she can toss?
I know what you're talking about though
Both had shotgun LMB
Yeah beam had the alt fire.
Conflag is the one yeah
wasn't conflag just little bolts
Give us that
like trauma
Didn't know conflagration did that too
as opposed to the "eat shit maulers/berserkers get oneshot" of coruscatoni
We already have most of them
Beam was hold down right click and then shoot a sort of blast
I thought it was both?
Idk, Darktide staves feel pretty different to me
And then the other staff just shot like 20 bolts while the right click charge did something else
I mostly used bolt and fireball on Sienna when I played her
no it was Coruscation
With beam you could hold M1 for 1.5 secs iirc then M2 for big damage
M2 itself was a close range shotgun
well we have juiced up bolt/fireball hybrid (voidstrike) , an amalgamation of coruscatoni/conflag (pretty much 1:1 except for coru shotgun, voidblast), flamer which is the same thing, and surge which is its own
Oops. That's what I meant. My mistake
Minus beam and maybe something else I'm not thinking of, darktide force staves are mostly just EX versions of their vt2 contemporaries. And psyker broadly is obviously taking from sienna building blocks and multiple talents and expanding on them further.
The shotgun staff will just be a confetti cannon loaded with anti-microbial paper
I'd say trauma and coruscation are meaningfully different.
No force version of the fire dagger or the sword and claw for us yet.
and I'd absolutely run it
AMMO QUICKLY
Aside from how you needed to approach, what else is there? It's been a while since i played vt2.
if it's only 1 shot does this mean that the small ammo boxes restore 100% ammo
Right click, hold build your circle, pop your circle. Fire instead of light teal whatever that substance is supposed to be.
does veteran's scavenger recover 100% ammo 
Coruscation has multiple fire pits that burn for several seconds and inflict massive DoT but low immediate damage
they restore 0% 
And you can just block off a path with 3+ fire pits
This is true
Trauma is one at a time and huge knockback with less DoT
yes. You are forever tied to vet with that aura.
It went from dot to burst in darktide. I guess the dot come from uh, soul blaze interactions
so mandatory pocket veteran, gotcha
Coruscation Sienna was frustrating to play with. You didn't get any temp HP as anyone else. Didn't get to play the game, cause everything burned before it came close.
Inferno is... well
alright psyker chat in particular I must ask a very important question not actually related to psyker at all
no

how many of you play with the in-game music, and how many of you play your own music in the background
I play with audio cues 
Only noobs play with background music
I love the in-game music but sometimes I need to play auric maelstrom with Spiritbox going
My friend is a psychotic gamer and plays with music off in all his games
It's really weird to watch his streams and it's dead silence
oh god
It's weird. It definitely grows on you.
background music is at least better than that
Music off is fine, but non-darktide music can obscure audio cues which is unacceptable
Just turn down the other music
🤷♂️
All the way to zero, yes-yes

it's all pretty good, even if some of it isn't something you would just turn on and listen to
It fits.
Clandestium Gloriana isn't exactly rave music but it fits the area
listening to my anime girl music or listening to trapper sound cues
the Emperor tests me
there's a few places where audio cues don't work properly because the thing making the audio is in like a different block of the level so they're quiet
Specifically I think of manufactorum hl1736
or any Hunting Grounds lol
That room with the bridge in the middle across
I keep my music low enough so I don't miss out audio cues
Music is there to keep me still when I draw
otherwise I just use game music from the game
the main downside for when I use music is that I can't hear heretical idols sometimes
Have you considered mods
Ingame music cause immersion.
Dude the music for this game slaps
listening to renai circulation for the 50th time or listen to the psyker get mauled by a dog...
my resolve is tested UwU
I have
I know there's mods to help find stuff like books and idols but I'm able to hear them
Rainbow Tylenol or Bursters ticking noise
This is and the extract song are my favorites
https://open.spotify.com/track/4ancSYOtFvCnAI7lS7KrSS?si=17757a4d47054107
Truly one of the choices
dazed, reeling, about to break
bangers
escape songs are among the best

rattiest song of the entire OST
I never played either of the Vermintide games 
i think ive found something harder than am solos
carrying a heresy maelstrom pub
run regular damnation board missions, but with all grimoires
LOL
Me when there's a goth girl around? What did you find?
Unironically grims smoke the fuck out of pubbers
1 grim and people die 30% more
it’s unreal
excise vault too lmao
the only time people were good at handling grims was the Moebian 21st event
still got both grims tho
Oh nah I hate excise finale lmfao
also got 7 revives and rescues but eh
The single action that can do the most damage to a pubby team
Hate it when people take grims in pubs
True truths
Especially when I’m playing psyker
Grims are easy if you know you’re going for them and everyone puts on grim resist. But if it’s a surprise I get dumpstered to like 30% hp 😂
Would you guys change anything https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d62403b-ebde-410f-b285-b7c41424effe/getting-silly-with-it?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
Bruh the pox bombers
I might sound like a scrub but I burn every grim I get my filthy little fingers on lol
swap Empathic Evasion for Psychic Vampire
And probably Penetration of the Soul for ER
Is there a particular reason you're using rending instead of blazing soul?
Thought rending was the better option but I’ll swap for blazing
Nah, blazing soul is silly
And with that in mind, get rid of the toughness node below Warp Rider and put that point into Wildfire
Fire for the fire god
True
Empathic Evasion has a pretty low uptime, and since Trauma has ~1/3 crit rate, it won't be up nearly as much as you'd like. Also, Trauma just knocks everyone over, so they can't shoot at you anyway. Bubble shield deals with those that still can, or shriek staggers them, depending on your choice
Penetration of the Soul also has a stupidly low uptime due to needing 75% peril, and 10% is very minimal
Empyric Resolve will give you more consistent benefit of more dakka
And wildfire is more fire
I c I c thank you for your input
I LOVE WHEN OGRYNS WHO ARE PASSIVELY IMMUNE TO THEM PICK UP GRIMS while the squishies are wheezing at zero wounds
I also prefer flak/crit on Trauma as opposed to flak/carapace to get more fire. Carapace is probably fine? Not sure there
Maniac / Flak / Carap
Flak if you want more fire dmg I guess
Blazing trauma does a massive amount of fire damage
Hmm, I need to check what I have on mine.
The only staff I like playing shield with is Purgatus
You're so limited with peril while running shield on the others.
Condition damage being soulblaze in this
Not bad.
Something that’s not an active enemy killing players I should say
yea pubbers suck at special management but man I swear I saw someone die 3 times immediately after we picked up 1 grim lmfao
muh woundz and hp…..
It also doesn't work at all but on the real ER does little to nothing for trauma
With the charge time it's kind of a non issue sorta deal
penetration of the soul should have no requirement
I guess while we’re here what’s your guys favorite build I’m trying to find something I like that isn’t gunker
w/ 60% warp resist, a fully charged Trauma RMB costs like 27% peril
ER allows you to one-tick quell and do another fully charged one
Yeah, I don't use ER on Voidstrike
The name changes really got me fucked up lol
Voidstrike is my favorite. Blow up everything in a line
Voidstrike on the train is hilarious
This with Voidstrike and Deimos or DS4
Basically plasma psyker with space throwing knives
Mine's basically the same but with Smite so I can get Psykinetic's Aura
Is there a point to assail or is it just to get everything needed
Assail a) shreds hordes and b) makes malefic momentum do things
Assail is the Blitz that best defines Psyker's high swap, high APM playstyle.
And it's strong.
:D
Ah I see
Assail is good
Smite is more of an "oh shit" button for me than anything. Some matches I don't use it at all.
Oh I guess I don’t really have a smite build
I just never saw the fun in it
Mostly because there is none
It's nice to have sometimes.
My only consistent use for it is hunting grounds modifiers
Lock down all the dogs and shriek at them
I’ll guess make one just for varieties sake
Or just go with the build I had yesterday
can be your dedicated horde clear weapon too, should you wish it
because it's dumb like that
Could be. But I don't find that fun
I'm torn between DS4 and Illisi for my voidstrike. I enjoy both. Illisi is less fun, but better for hordes and easily getting peril up. DS4 is sillier
Is ep or dd better if you’re focusing on assails
DD
Kinda sad but good to know
Use EP if you prefer it
Both are fine
They offer seperate benefits
It’s just a tep build I’m trying out I don’t know if it’s staying
DD is a more universal buff, and probably what you want if you're rocking Gun Psyker w/ Assail
but EP gives some pretty nice "Infinite Assail" into Elite Blobs
I’m going for the infinite assail route with this build https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d62bbc2-6460-4b1f-a350-fa26e9285b12/ass-ail-2?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
Change Unyielding to Flak on your Revolver
Change Riposte to Precognition on your Deimos, or change to a Combat Knife w/ Crit Chance + Carapace + Flesh Tearer + Uncanny Strike
And if you're wanting to rock a Right-To-Mid Assail/Shield build, then I'd do this:
no slaughterer? disappointing
Double Wall Shield is often better than Dome, since you can use it to just straight up deny paths for Specials.
Stops Trapper Nets, Flamer streams, etc. since it deletes hitscans/rays that intersect with it, as well as just stopping Specialists from moving through it.
Insta "nuh uh" for if you wanna say no to Specials for a moment
Plus, it's still a shield
I mean, can use Slaughterer, but they seem to wanna use it for giga single target, so might as well give 'em a better build for what they want
Optimising what the people want is the best way to make 'em happy

would the pick not be something else then, unstable power or somesuch?
or executor for the funny special stabbing
I mean, +60% Finesse Damage on dodge is kinda cracked, since it's not just weakspot; Finesse scales with crits and weakspot hits, and Finesse scales harder than just +60% Weakspot Damage, since Weakspot Damage is calculated weirdly
Oh this does look a lot more like I want
well yes but with what crit chance
just the 12.5%?
that hardly sounds worthwhile
17.5%; it's not super amazing, but it's something
darktides strongest gambler
Plus, again, +Finesse scales harder than +Weakspot
and +60% on dodge is a lot, especially with Uncanny Strike too
but with lower crit chance you barely get to abuse that finesse modifier
yea it’s probably higher burst but you won’t be hitting it a lot
right, i was going by the build posted before yours, mb
Like, again, Slaughterer is better here, but if they wanna use Deimos to just stabby stab big things, then might as well
All good
Depends on if you're using well timed assails or if you're going left side
Imo
The heavies need assail, there just has to be a get out of my face option in psyker toolkit that's not shriek
Assail is that option
1 Shard will stagger a Rager
Swap, throw 2 shards, swap back
Safety
Profit
I don't use Assail as of now. My stance might change.
Yee that's what I'm saying lol
Fair
Its really nice as just a take the heat off option and it really does a number on annoying rager packs if you don't mitigate them fast enough with the VS
Or shotgunners or really just anything other than crushers lol
assail is silly, it really is just a second ranged weapon 
My thing is that with Voidstrike I am usually using all my peril to throw bowling balls at heretics
But I can see assail being useful for when there are too many heretics in my face
if you have a mixed horde coming at you and they've been train in the advanced art of flanking
assail will be super useful
With 80quell its not too bad to quell down to 50 or so so you can dump 5 shards quick
I'll try it out and see how I feel
Takes sum getting used to but it truly makes or breaks some of my builds
Well, I barely use Smite unless things are absolutely fucked, so hopefully I won't miss that
And I can see benefit in keeping peril up with shards, as I often lose peril when using DS4
I will need to find a good balance between assail and Voidstrike
I like void blast myself cuz u can cast it on your feet if things surround u too quickly
Negates a handful of rager rushes by just knocking them over with a decent M2
You do miss the bowling pin movements without voidstrike tho, they are very satisfying
I have been swapping between Voidstrike and Trauma lately, with a bit of purg as well
The crunch of like 12 headshots is straight porn
Bonus points if it’s on rolling steel 
I tried it in Auric sniper gauntlet. It went fine. But I mostly felt like the damage I did with shards was damage I would have done with Voidstrike, only with less thinking involved
What’s the basic smite build
Its mostly for like the situations voidstrike or one of the skngle target swords won't handle is why I run it
Yes
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt
Something around this
Alright thanks
You could drop Wildfire
That's fair. I don't use Deimos, so potentially less useful. DS4 with Warp Splitting is already pretty good at hordes, and Illisi is better.
This is what I personally use
The crit things don't proc often but they help with surge which is a good weapon to run with smiteker
does Surge work on the electro-staff's lightning, or just the bolt?
just the m1, the bolt
Just LMB
F
thanks for that
so, should i go for flurry or sustained then?
does the cast speed or damage give higher DPS?
>when you fuck up peril management once and the entire team dies seconds later
Not even a horde just average histg specialist spam 😞
🇫
not F, it actually is "meta" atm 💀
as stupid as that sounds
Yes?
Flurry and nexus are your go to for surge if you're tryna m2 charge with it
Hey fellow crazy people anyone got theyr buzz on a Friday ?
Ace Of Lucky 
Hey, question. I really enjoy heavy laspistol with assail, Prescience, shield and DD. Should I tweak to get the assa cleave from Warp Splitting? Can't post image, but here's OG build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b84b2db-fb33-4df8-bfac-ff486936243b/ulgu-psyker-assail-telekine-shield-disrupt-destiny-auric-ready
gunker without gaze
🤔
also building laspistol for boss damage...
and block eff/no sniper resistance on curios...
Meh resistance curios are bad anyway just eliminate the specials and be done. Sure they spawn nonstop but meh
That's why you have a special slayer that should be on lookout if they can help it. Of course everyone should do this and should elim them asap keep moving so you don't get stuck between the horde and 5 flamers
block efficiency curio with a 3stam and kd is silly
It works and is one of the easier frames for setting up assail. Your boss damage won't particularly be as stellar as say, running a vraks 8 infantry autogun or even the heavier laspistol. In this build, it works more as a tool for spinning your dd, dropping priority targets on headshots, and furthering your innate specialization in dodges and weakpoint dmg broadly.
If you want more damage, you can basically copy the same build but go scrier gaze and take precognition to further boost your finesse and swooce bastard antics.
dump warp expenditure for one with the warp, dump ethereal shards and a node of choice (cruel fortune doesn't do much) for warp splitting
The curios are mostly just there to have a noticeably easier time weaving in blocking to make it more manageable. You don't necessarily need it and personally, I'd say something that'll carry over for longer is dropping some bonus toughness/toughness regeneration and health.
The toughness generator nodes are fine and lean you into playing aggressively to recover from any damage you don't want to take. There's a lot of variations that'll help but it's not at all a struggle for assail to jump your peril generation. If you do run dome shield and sanctuary, that's functionally another toughness gen well for yourself when you need it, even preemptively.
In short, if you really want to just go for it, run the build. It's fine. If you want to double down, drop dome and sanctuary for scrier and precognition.
Nice, thanks for the answers, ppl. For going full gunker, what's the practical difference between vraks 5/Columnus 8 vs recon las?
you're not always going to be able to immediately dispatch snipers all the time, esp on auric
a single sniper shot will really fuck you, esp if you're like most psykers running without health curio
most players will rarely get hit by snipers, but having one sniper resist perk is worthwhile imo
Raw weapons wise not that much, recon las does even less to carapace and has lower dps but can shoot longer and is easier to control
recon las is less dps than IAGs but better ammo economy
With blessings you'll probably be running infernus on recon las so it's adviseable to switch targets a bit before an enemy dies
By the way @loud cliff never ever run warp expenditure it's a noob trap node
Here's an example. You won't be maxing out cleave in this one in favor of giving yourself additional peril generation reduction and quell batteries on your weapons.
In this one, I run duelling sword mk4 and vraks autogun. Berserking with Scrier's override let's you, at any time, double down on attacking to solve your problems. Your safety is aggression essentially and I've personally had a solid time running this and having anywhere from 18-30 stacks regularly. Only thing to do there is play more solidly, take risks as well as you can, and remembering yo chill out once scrier is down if you're dropping assail on everything. If you really want the cleave node, I drop the assail recharge node for cleave on peril since it just makes it all go more smoothly when I'm fully committed to ramping my scrier stacks.
this stinks dude
It doesn't but go on.
insta swap ethereal shards for warp splitting
I run this in auric 5s and I do just fine.
do this in me auric maels
No problems with performance other than mistakes and mismanagement at times but it's not hard at all.
warp splitting is +1 assail cleave if you have any peril
and +2 at 50%+
ethereal shards is flat +1
I'm working with all points of my dmg not just the shards.
the nice thing about the build i linked is whatever you are up against you have a tool for it
???
warp splitting is global cleave
it's just even better than ethereal shards for assail specifically
warp splitting is insane
you should pretty much always be running it if you are right side
I literally just said that if you want it I just drop the assaio recharge for kt.
crack of bone is also nuts
that's silly though
it's a genuine straight upgrade over ethereal shards
No need to drop quick shards for it
SG with cracker, warp splitting and quietude makes you very tanky when meleeing hordes
If that's the only thing you're hung on that's fine.
which is something youll end up doing if shit spawns on you
I said what I use and why and that's basically it. I can do those things too, the point is is that I'm not.
SG WITH WHAT??!?
cracker…….
Anyways the other thing is that you should take one with the warp, it's reachable for 1 point
You can swap warp expen or cruel fortune for it
I know it’s just funny
idgaf you are giving advice in the psyker chat you will do it perfectly or you will get out
also empathic evasion is underrated as heck
I will call my dad (bill gates) to have you banned ;)
yeah its not always up but when youre meleeing like a mfer and getting shot at you will dodge all the guns and that matters
i think a lot of builds are spherical cow "this gives you max damage output in meat grinder"
But anyway. Point is is that I routinely run multiple variations of right tree because i like it that much. Currently, this feels really fun and isn't hard to work with in any meaningful way to me so I run it.
u should still swap ethereal for warp splitting idk
which like ok that might be true but outside of the meatgrinder shit isnt always optimal engagements
I just said I run multiple versions of right tree buiod m8.
I don't need to be told the value of something I understand through my experience. I use the node in other builds lmao
Seems like you do have to be told
meh
I don't know if you're being weird or dumb on purpose
I'll just not give the benefit of doubt and drop interacting with you on it. Not that hard.
I did identify you as an ideal target for messing with you are right
UnsanctionedPsyker is the throat goat 100%
Wouldn't know. Psyker builds cannot be a grandstand for me. It's a little too silly
Dude can do it to whoever else if that's how they get fun in their day. 🗑️
Thank you, and I will.
Use both for targetmaxxing with assails. 
how much cleave would that be 🤔
5
At least 2
maybe that'll actually be worth it for the memes
With or without a crit
So with having near perma uptime on gaze, is assail for spamming during lingering effect+warp unbound?
5
or does crit not affect it like warp splitting and E shards
yes basically
crit never gives extra cleave
it's 2 default, +1 ethereal shards, +1/2 warp splitting, x2 (!) empowered psionics
Warp unbound can be buggy
You can still explode during the lil window between sg and warp unbound but you have to be really unlucky to hit it
and it just so happens a lot of soykers are good at being unlucky
(I’ve had it happen to me a total of 1 time while using assail with scriers)
I don't think the window exists except with latency
If you are running ds and a gun you will have pretty trash hordeclear so it's generally a good idea to use assail when at high perils
I suspect it's some processing queue thing on fatsharks end
The thing is that the fix is also really easy, at least a preliminary one
But FS doesn't wanna
(If people don’t throw assail to help while meleeing idk what’s up with them)
Literally just check at the start of warp unbound and if the soyker is exploding, cancel it
Which mod gives Warp Unbound remaining uptime? I assume that's what the countdown is.
WARP UNBOUND TIMER
Makes sense. But why are you shouting again?
It's wu uptime + 1.5s safety net time
Because I am sick of you. 
:<
I just got here. D:

toxic old man…
Old? D:
oh thats gonna be fuckin annoying
i have managed to get 4 more points for my electro staff than there are blessings to use them on
somehow
Yes
There is supposedly an extra blessing in the code that gives + lightning chain jumps but is hidden
so now the little "check me" dot wont go away
That would be a fun blessing

Tzeentch is mocking you
i am personally going to figure out how to become stronger than the emperor, just to put my foot up it's metaphysical ass
i'm guessing it'll do 5 damage on the third target 
Which is just a plot to turn you into a blorbo with delusions of grandeur
I’ve come back to announce that you all were wrong and that Smite is way better than y’all make it appear
It’s S tier
I’ve blocked entire Hordes, specialists, CHARGING MUTANTS AND DOGS
it can
oh can it?
just need to smite them long enough
Nah man it’s so fun watching them twist in pain as they get shocked
i never tried, i usually just impale the mutie on my melee weapon
should be deleted from the game
tldr
These are completely wrong sentences
It’s just of a SUPPORT use instead of an offensive one
If you want to rank up kills I agree it’s not useful but for a playing party it’s definitely good
Smite? More like STINK amirite?
no one said it wasn't useful
Y’all are making it sound like it is
Wich is also wrong cause I’m having the best time using it
i would like it deleted and replaced with something more engaging
You can literally stop an entire horde and deem that boring?
becausing holding a button and making enemies less interactive barely qualifies as gameplay
I like the concept of smite, but yeah it's basically just a pause button on the enemies
I mean Scrier's Gaze/Disrupt Destiny Psyker is probably one of the most hyperactive builds in the game
i wish we had a more interesting lightning spell because i do like lightning
Momentum enforced by mechanics
it's actually my favourite theme
until they added "lol don't blow up for 10 seconds after hitting 100%, and have 100% cleave as well"
Yeah I haven't played it as much since the change, not sure about how much that gets abused in a staff SG build.
I'm sure the answer is a lot.
Awkwardly remember that I had this drafted.
Can't speak for columnus but veaks does significantly more damage comparatively with the slant of you being more likely to run dry if you're using it a lot a lot.
Recon doesn't particularly do awful dmg but you'll notice it compared to a vraks Works extremely well in right tree builds since it's easy to aim at heads for hordes, build stacks, pop crits for upkeep and I want to say a faster reload.
Also just has more ammo to work with.
vraks5 is the old columnus, the name changes fatshark made was confusing
Yeah, i just forgot what it was called.
np
woe, random changes go
Dunno if the other one was also columnus or whatever the fuck.
What was the point of these changes
Ah, it was graia
¯_(ツ)_/¯
other one was graia, iirc it is now vraks= highest dps, agri= cleaving shots, columnus bullet hose
some GW person had a really terrible morning
Maybe some wh nerd shit or consolidating the marks better for the mark system or something I just don't know.
I did wonder if it was a lore deep cut I didn't understand
Idk. I know very little about wh. I'm just for the coop horde shooter that feels fun and doesn't have that beyond irritating weapon progression system.
I know quite a bit, but not enough to know what forge world actually makes what in the lore.
Pre-unlocked and loaded
They might manufacturers, some are named after planets like the cadia chainsword. Might have something to do with production on the planet being the thing makes the name.
Same with Catachan which is apparently some jungle planet or some shit.
Idk if krourk is a planet but based on what's in game, I guess krourk is a manufacturer that has a speciality for ogryn weapon production.
The melee weapons are typically named after guard regiments
Ah
Like the Maccabian dueling swords
The Maccabian Janissaries
Which I guess is also a planet
But it's more that the regiment is known for using them
But yeah Graia, Columnus, Agri, and Vraks are all forge worlds
Mhm
I just didn't know if there was more detail about them making specific kinds of weapons
Idk
Krourk is an ogryn planet
Wild to think of how an all-ogryn planet runs
I mean I guess by M42 it would have Imperium governors and such
But even just a mostly ogryn world would be either a comedy or a tragedy
Iirc it's basically a barbarian tribal world where the imperium just shows up and shanghais ogryn from time to time
big planet big people big brain
Spam assail and win.
Assail will stun anything it doesn't kill so you can throw one at a rager and stab him with your knife. I also run surge staff for groups of more dangerous targets.
currently using the shards atm, love em'
I use a gun with assail and switch between the two pretty much the whole run. They posted a pretty fun build in here, hang on...
kinda crazy that assail's been nerfed and it's still this good lol
This is potato's build I've been using the past couple days. It's actually very fun. Scrier's gaze will disintegrate a horde with a recon lazgun.
You just go gun - assail - gun - assail - stab stab - assail
It's like... being a live machine gun. You never stop shooting. Infinite projectiles.
P. Much
went from being a constant nuke to being a consistent one
very good ability but no longer a catch all. its in a good spot
I use the Mk V blaze force sword and a recon lazgun, but be sure to add the +5% critical hit chance to your weapons
I just had a veteran in auric maelstrom from the beginning of the match who did 59k damage
I did 730k in the same time period
hey, out of the blue question here but is there someone here who could help me do brain burst penance? its the only penance i have left for psyker, its just 1 game.
Are you in EU?
yea
Add me, 1997013774
@lament sapphire i use that build too sometimes, it's really fun
Hehehehehehehe
Hope you sparkies all had a happy helloween
Assail and disrupt destiny is fun, good for penence. pretty squishy though
when aren't we squishy
When Unchained Psyker gets released
Unchain the Unchained Fatshark


anyone else having issues with disrupt destiny stacks falling off in 4 seconds even though you took the talent to make it 10 seconds?
like i think im going mad
i clearly have it selected, go into game, count it out and it's 4 seconds
No one would happen to know how effective smite is at applying Skullcrusher, right?
Visual bug. The DD buff icon doesn't always display but you have the stacks. The part that drops off is the speed buff. The only way around the bug right now is mods.
I haven't heard anything about smite and smaul beyond the interaction it has with charged strikes.
Question on Wildfire. If there are 4 enemies, and 1 of them has 6 stacks of soulblaze and dies. Do all 3 other enemies get 4 stacks, does one get 2 and another 4, or does only one of them get 4?
what are the best perks and blessings for the voidblast staff?
4 stacks are spread, so each enemy gets 2 or 1
up to 4 stacks
Ah so it pretty much has no value outside of the flame staff pre-burning enemies before they step into flame
no, it has a lot of value
on every fire build with any staff
though others disagree
It's a matter of contention as to how useful wildfire is, but the DPS don't lie
Flak + crit chance
blazing spirit + warp nexus
dump warp resist
kk
Little confused about warpfire and uncanny, is it just get a bunch of stacks out on armor and just get uncanny stacks off of any enemy?
Soulblaze benefits from uncanny
or yeah soulblaze sorry
If you have uncanny, any soulblaze you've applied will benefit regardless of distance
Soulblaze, generally, since enemies you'll be trying to kill will take more damage from a sword anyway
and soulblaze lasts longer iirc?
is it worth taking perilous and/or wildfire?
It just seems like two points I'd rather use elsewhere
Those are definitely useful
I would highly recommend them if you are using a staff (other than voidstrike)
running blazing spirit trauma
Definitely take them
kk I'll give it a go
I have uncanny IV on my force sword, hopefully it works out lol
perilous combustion definitely
I mean for blazing trauma you don't really need uncanny soulblaze
I would but I can't fight stupid 😭
I am all powerful and undefeated
Perilous combustion is really good, 3 stacks isn't much but 6 clears chaff and 12 kills gunners
So if you see say 4 shotgunners walking around and you blow up 2 of them with a voidblast blast, the other 2 will probably die of blaze etc
If there is a mixed horde of elites and chaff you blow up the elites and the chaff dies on its own etc
I mean my thought process was to just buff up the soulblaze stacks I put out
was trying it with purg and I just dont really like using that staff lol
Uncanny soulblaze is only useful on purg imo, lol
uncanny on the force sword is just generally good too, though
You're better off just stabbing the boss with the uncanny sword
oh no I gotta run purg then
I mean it is useful on trauma, but like, minimally.
ah kk
You won't really be looking to do it on anything but bosses
I mean thats still decent DoT right?
Maybe I'll stick with the purg for a few more runs then
Nah dude blaze trauma is way more fun than purg imo
Eh
trauma aiming is annoying
dueling sword 
is not a DoT 
||I'm kind of sick of running dueling sword ||
Yeah it is
You stab and then you deal damage and you repeat that over time
Try chainaxe
That thing has dot
I love me chainaxe, was doing some scizo scriers runs with it
really felt like temu zealot, crack of bone is pretty cool
dunno if its that strong but its fun at least
oooo i see ty, tho now that i reset my build i see the stacks fall off in 10 seconds thankfully
was driving me nuts
such a good qol talent tho, much easier to have actual stacks throughout the game
Is there a way to fix the bug when a weapon says it has 4 more mastery points but you've bought everything?
Only electrokinetic staff does that, it's unfixable
electrokinetic 😔
is chainaxe good? i've never used it actually, lol. i hate the ds though and wouldn't mind a new option for armor
it's a weapon
good is a strong word

a weapon you say
ds is objectively one of our best weapons but man i can't get past a little needle being an anti-armor weapon. it just feels wrong.
Ok, got the memes out of my system for the moment. Did most damage with an objectively bad build. It's a no keystone blazing spirit illisi lol. I also ate a lot of poop because I only wanted to swing my sword wildly.
The zealot on the far-right was going wild. I legitimately have no idea how he killed so many specials and elites.
Meanwhile my psyker is throwing assails at crushers in a scabs only no ammo pickups
I mean, I did more melee damage than the other zealot in that match, so I kinda needed a madman zealot to help get through it all
👋🏾
Knife fun. Knife good. 🗡️
Was that thee knifing about?
No, but strong knife builds on zealot are just saucy when you understand your movement as a start. Iz funny.
I was glad to have this guy. Even if he was better than me. >:(
But I've had some rough losses tonight, so I needed the win
Like this one. Guy on the far right was in the match from the very beginning. I have no idea what he was doing
actually a bot
Sometimes you just gotta stop and appreciate the hive slums, you know?
flame staff dump stat?
warp res

Embrace the warp. Do not resist its touch.
Coward.
Well, I just spent an hour walking a helpdesk tech through replacing a dead switch because I didn't want to drive in and do it myself. >:(
Message you love to see on a Friday night: "Did you reboot a switch?"
No. No, I did not.
My Beloved says only nerds think the warp is bad.
If the Inquisition had a solid mental health insurance plan, you'd know that was schizophrenia!
lol im surprised that there's gifs of that video. Not even sure it still exists.
anyone got a mod for the UI so I can always see scriers buff. It's annoying as fuck that it only shows some of the time
DD you mean?
although that is annoying it doesn't literally kill you to mess it up so it's not major
Oh, you talking about Warp Unbound?
thanks
The train mission is where dreams go to die
Anybody want to help me with Malleus Monstronum? I can help with yours too if you haven't gotten it yet
Which server are you on?
NA my friend
I can in a bit. Apparently the new switch is broadcast storming. I have to fix things again
I dont know what that means but thank you
Things broke at work and I am grumpy about being on-call
Good luck with that!
Perfecto
Okay @pseudo sedge add me and I can help you.
Alright one sec
is identical to 80
for stacks.

But have you considered the aesthetic appeal of a smooth 80/80/80/80/60
Yes
Does anyone else go to great lengths to ensure their curio perks are in a pleasing and coherent order ?
identical
I'd be curious to see if that was simply a rounding issue for the app rate
I used to hear that it topped out at like 70 but that was before item change
for stacks it tops out earlier than 80, yes
QQ, is Precognition worth it on the Force Swords?
I'm currently running a Deimos with Precognition and Shred with my Melee Psyker
Generally, the picks are slaughterer and uncanny on force swords
precog has duration issues for many
and is overall less consistent/easy to activate than slaughterer or uncanny
Hey, duration issues are common in psykers of a certain age.
Mental fatigue and brain fog.
If you can work out how to test it I'd be curious to know too.
Is the inferno force staff attack a soulblaze attack?
yes
all psyker burn damage (infernus, talents, etc) is soul blaze (characterized by the blue flame)
Ah, excellent.
no, it applies stacks of soulblaze, but it is not soulblaze
infernus is regular fire
idk if you meant inferno tho
So uh
The fire staff, that releases the blue burn cloud
Is its attack the same as Soulblaze for the purposes of the talent tree?
Or is it different
Oh wait this was just discussed
Never mind

All soulblaze dots are the same.
Purg / inferno does have direct damage tho. That is different.
I need an answer to packs of Maulers and crushers as Psyker, while I level up
Currently using Assail, Shriek, fire staff, and duelling sword
stab them with the dueling sword
Assail and purg have a lot of overlap.
DS is one of the better answers for crushers and mauler, but it does put you in melee.
stab them all
I get bonked twice and fall over
dodge and then stab
The answer is a staff

Fire staff deals with maulers just fine too. LMB staggers them.
All of the other staves deal with crushers well.
Oh
blaze sword jedi push+force staff fire.
I was just using charged attack
That jedi push has some serious range.
Fire staff can't deal with crushers, but that's why you have meat shields allies.... and a sword
thats why i have BB and pray to god it procs while im setting them on fire
Don't use the special on Deimos
or Obscurus, but don't use Obscurus 
i forgot that one existed
Illisi is a "well, maybe you use maybe you don't" special
it doesn't
Deimos is definitely more fussy to use, but it is also more defensive than DS. A DS special to a crusher head staggers them.
i refuse to believe it's real
I will try to get an Illisi to try
I love the special. ;_; I use the blessing that crits on the next hit after a special kill, plus soulblaze stacks on a crit.
Takes down crushers in two hits with a special+then crit
Playing Heresy on the squishiest class in the game when I'm just frankly used to the other three's toughness is real hell
Illisi is for hordes. It is not a crusher killer the way Deimos and DS are.
Fire Illisi is actually pretty bad
unfortunately
Its attack patterns looked kinda weird for horde clear? Or am I just noob
I am not fond of Deimos, but it's a great weapon. It's more generalist option. Both are good. Just not my personal preferance tho.
yep, when it comes to crushers i prefer DS a lot more though imo
Because it kills single targets fairly easily and has better horde clear than DS4

Heck, its horde clear isn't that much worse than Illisi
Please tell me its light spam for hordes?
deimos also has that longer ranged push, which is nice
Really, the only problem is it doesn't have wide horizontal swings. If it did it would probably beat illisi
The H2 has big pp damage and will knock over a cusher on a head shot. It can oneshot mutants with no buffs. It also has better dodges than illisi.
I've started using deimos more than illisi because i got sick of illisi's short dodges
Pretty much
Sorry, I was trying to reply to this 
ahem
Pretty much
i wished the H2 was the H1
but l1 poke is 
And ignore the special
l1 -> h2 
same 😭
The thrust or the swipe?
it's a wimpy swipe
It's funny bonk
I use heavy spam just for the fun of it sometimes
over the optimal poke spam
So by mapping every value of burn between 0-80, and drawing a line, it seems like each point of burn lowers the application frequency by 0.0014s. So the difference between 80 and 76 would be 0.0057s. Ie, if you were somehow channeling out for a constant 60 seconds, 80 burn would apply 3 more stacks than 76 burn (178.7 and 175.7 stacks respectively). And that is assuming they're using the hidden decimals at all.
I mean, it might not be optimal, but it's working on Heresy anyway lol

You can compensate for nearly any build with skill at any difficulty.
Yeah for sure.
Well, except if you have to solo on a non-solo map without stealth 
I'm really impressed with the push from the blaze sword. I hadn't bothered with it much before because newb, but wow. The charge is fast and it puts them right on the ground.
At some distance too.
I was just forcing groups onto the ground and letting the ogryns do their work lol
deimos force push into h2 is a nice combo
I push, special which almost always kills on the first strike (mutants/hordes/gunners etc at least), then go into the heavy combo. Warp bonk.
Like a little stagger machine coupled with shriek and fire staff
What's extra "fun" is having kinetic flayer pop on the burster you pushed with a force sword. The push attack does 1 damage.
hah!
If you special > f push > H2 weakspot it leaves them very close to one l1 to kill
tf when your friends all want you to come build bases on dayz but you just wanna darktide
ie, the dmg of the special depends on the base dmg of the attack, so you want it to be heavy. And by leading with push the main dmg tick will be at 5 stack uncanny.
I'd wondered about that, since the game doesn't seem to display the additional damage rider value from the special.
its easy enough to test in psychanium. do a special light and a special heavy vs a crusher, noticeable difference
Is there any reason to push attack it?
Can weapons go past the 380 cap now? Or UI bug/rounding shenanigans
Not particularly
Make it go farther away
It's a rounding error
Fair play
funny
Me doing a PA on accident... a lot.
I thought there was a fatshark post saying it wasn't just a visual error?
It's a rounding error, not a visual error. Some of your stats will get, say, 80.6 and round up to show 81. Two of your other stats might be 79.7 to compensate and still round up to 80.
Atleast that's the theory
But yeah, they're working on addressing it
It has some interesting range on the push which lets you easily push your way through a horde to reposition, but it also forces them prone. I find that pretty useful in a horde
Flame the burster with kf. It might pop it might not that's what makes it fun
I’ll flame you

Force sword PA is single target and can knock over targets up to 9m away.
As in left click with burga
I was asking specifically about the push attack. Push is great.
Replace stupid dumb Warp Rupture with 10% chance to deal 5 bajillion damage on shriek 
Push attack pushes the burster farther which is nice when you can't trust your teammates
yeah! I just discovered that use, so nice.
When can you trust teammates?
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plaguies the Premade?
lol I really wish I could draw my friends away from SM2 to squad up here. Running pugs is an exercise in patience.
I don’t trust pre made lobbies

No. I have no friends who play this game.
Neither should they trust me
Exactly
God gives his weakest ammo hoarders to his strongest Staffkers

Only 1 ammo crate? Smh my head
lol one thing Im enjoying with psyker is not having to worry about grenades or ammo 🤣
I consider it a problem if I am not max on ammo and throwing knives
Your ammo is your wounds.
Same on my zealot, hah
Hot take, but I think more games would be better if they just stopped shoehorning in limited ammunition/grenades. Put in cooldowns, sure, but the limited resource stuff is quite often just annoying nonsense.
I would enjoy if all blitzes in the game had some sort of regen
Darktide included. 
Feels bad to have non-knife blitz on Zealot because you barely get to use it
Yeh, I never use flame grenades even when I take them 
I might need them later
is the last segment
I would let my team have ammo if they weren’t blind to specialists
Nah, the glugger just mag dumps a crusher with fire bullets expecting it to work.
I had a knife Zealot today who ran away and killed tons of elites and specials before I could charge my Voidstrike RMB. By the time my shot was in the air, he'd thrown three knives and shot two more guns with a revolver. Voidstrike projectile is so slow.
Name of the zealot
I cannot recall offhand
Yeah, that's why I think voidstrike is the weakest of the staves, its charge time
High level?
He was like level 400 I think
He did well. We were the last two standing multiple times.
5k is a lot of heretics killed.
Fire is the only solution.
I feel like if you're above 2000 Fatshark has to put a limit on the amount of hours you can spend each day on the game, lol
If Voidstrike charged as fast as trauma...
Voidblast is good?
If they did that to me who would report all the bugs
Ye i like it

Voidblast GOAT
Voidblast is a lot of fun
Stagger staff is fun against bulwarks
Blackhole staff when
It has so much support/util for the team and damage is pretty nice
I have learned to enjoy voidblast. Knock all the crushers over and laugh at them and their spilled lunch
Dmg is nothing superb but its okay
It's okay could be better
It's actually very good with fire trauma
Fire trauma?
Fire build for voidblast
Ive found if you build around the staff, you can do some pretty gnarly damage but if not, great for knocking back the rager/crusher horde down for your team
What kinda psyker uses burn 
Psyker is a challenge for me cus im more Ogryn and zealot brained atm
Gunkers, that's who. And gunkers are heretics.
The -40% peril talent helps u spam like 9-10 of them before ur at critical explosion

I wonder if Fatshark will ever even add another staff 
This is fake.
Only gripe with psyker is not a good monster dps option
But chainaxe helps a bit

I hope they keep the theme of not having to aim, lol.
No u.
Me having top monster damage 90% of the time on any build. People in my lobby don't want to hit monsters
I'll bring out my thammer build just for you

Thanks 
😮
I haven't played anything but Psyker in ages, lol.
I think the last time I played vet was months ago 
That's what gunker does best though.
Isnt gunker heresy?
It is
Mag dump an infernus recon into a boss's face and they will quite literally melt.
Yeah really.
It's okay
That just sounds like you don't play gunker well.
Especially considering you consider it "heresy."
It's not that much better than just purgatusing the boss tho
I tested it in psykh
The ttk isn't that great imo
And that was with a 100% weakspot hit rate
Tell me, are you using headhunter/true aim on this setup?
it's like above average
you will do better on bosses than any build not tailored for bosses
Idk man, I've seen some psykers delete bosses with recons before.
I'm just saying the potential is there.
but you're also playing gunker 🤮
SG recon is 3.6k boss dps with 15 DD stacks and +unyielding
Varks 5 and laspistol 2 do better monster dps than recon. Great for psyker, but not the best compared to the actual monster killers/
Maybe with some crazy buff stacking with DD and warp rider with scriers?
if you weakspot hit, but that's not going to happen all the time
Best I can do is shield spam with bb.
😭
I'm pretty sure the other classes will just win if they fully commit to boss damage
glugger ogryn is the obvious one
pretty sure a bolter vet build fully committed to boss damage will also out damage you
win in boss damage
Ah
Yeah they will
They will straight up dumpster psyker in boss damage with any real commitment
gun psyker boss damage is merely "good"
i wish i still had that azreal vid of him just killing every boss with 5 bullets of a revolver on vet
maybe was lucky rolls, 4.1k second attempt
obviously not practical to make a vet build like that and needed good crit rng, but that shit was hilarious
My friend also sent me this clip for boss memes, but this relies on the stim a lot
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/922136978865156168/1297901815026946129/proofOfConcept.mp4?ex=6726c602&is=67257482&hm=3327ca2f1b12c1afb6917ae43dfaff368c521ad95dd3621aad372c1ad418b737&
not exactly the most practical build either, but he actually does play the build and will hunt the demonhost if he happens to have a blue stim
Need to get your friend on the team when we play with Tren. DH loves him.
I intentionally wake dh up with creeping flames to make it more hazardous
guys
can someone explaing to me the relation between crit and soulblaze pls
does crit make my fire deal more dmg
crit on inferno makes you apply 2 stacks instead of 1 stack of soulblaze
doubling your soulblaze application
And blazing voidblast builds apply soulblaze on crit
so crit generally good
Blazemaxxing
Which melee weapon u guys like
