psyker-class

[velvet gate]

I am in so much pain

This whole time

[nocturne dust]

Everything is better than brainburst

[velvet gate]

I've just been discarding weapons

[pulsar hazel]

Electro kinetic is headburst + magical machine gun

[velvet gate]

Why do so many people have long numbers after their names

[pulsar hazel]

Headburst but better

[nocturne dust]

Don't insult EK by comparing it to brain burst like that 😭

[nocturne dust]

Those are friend codes for matchmaking

[velvet gate]

Man you are certified brain burst hater

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[velvet gate]

Ahhh I understand now

[nocturne dust]

It sucks

It is awful

[silent wigeon]

I'm assuming assail is the fastest way to do the empowered psyconetics penence?

[pulsar hazel]

I kinda wish EK m2 was a bit better because it's arguably better to just m1 spam if you can quell cancel/ are a big enough loser to macro

[velvet gate]

You hate brain burst, not brain rupture

[nocturne dust]

Fatshark please make BB better

[velvet gate]

Yeh brain rupture is good

[nocturne dust]

Those are the same

[velvet gate]

Nope

[nocturne dust]

[velvet gate]

Ones 50% better

[silent wigeon]

I'm assuming thats going to get patched

[nocturne dust]

Begone malice player

[velvet gate]

Hate me cuz you ain't me

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[pulsar hazel]

quell cancelling has been in the game and well known since month 1

[nocturne dust]

I am glad to not be a malice player

[pulsar hazel]

BB should just have 0 slowdown when using and it'd be absolutely fixed for me

[velvet gate]

Yeah cuz then you'd have to compete with me

And id win

[nocturne dust]

Yes until carapace.

[strong gulch]

I haven't been able to confirm it, but someone said that RMB surge / elctro kills count towards that penance if you have EP stacks up. If that's the case, surge doesn't consume EP stacks and may be the fastest way.

[velvet gate]

?

[nocturne dust]

Nonsense, I am in the top 100% of Psykers

[pulsar hazel]

Nah you can even kill cara quickly with M1 with macro

It's a bit silly

[nocturne dust]

You go do it then

[velvet gate]

Are y'all pc?

[silent wigeon]

I will test it out and see

[nocturne dust]

Of course

[velvet gate]

I was wondering

[silent wigeon]

ye day one, I got a fancy helmet

[velvet gate]

Lame

[pulsar hazel]

Tapping R after M1 staff attack resets animations letting you fire sooner. Can about double firerate when timed well or macrod

[broken carbon]

(note, macros can and have gotten people banned)

[velvet gate]

PC terminology does not translate

[nocturne dust]

is true? Have source?

[orchid ibex]

Quell cancel m1 macros are also a sign of weakness

[pulsar hazel]

I am very much against them if you scroll up. Fatsharks official stance is macros can only do one action, a quell macro does more so it's against the rules.

[silent wigeon]

I've never heard of fatshark banning over macros, not encouraging it, just saying

[strong gulch]

Quell cancel is an animation cancel that uses the quell button to cancel part of a cast animation to make things go faster.

There's block and blitz cancel too.

[nocturne dust]

Their official stance isn't clear.

[broken carbon]

yes i do @latent mauve

[nocturne dust]

They have one forum post years old from one guy saying 'autohotkey okay'

[pulsar hazel]

Yeah I don't think they've ever banned over it but they did a while back say that autoclickers are fine but multi action macros aren't. This was so long ago though that I'm really just pulling it out of my oldhead memory

[velvet gate]

Oh my god that profile page is a flash bang

[nocturne dust]

@latent mauve

[broken carbon]

yeah, keep swinging for example is entirely okay, but an old mod (always attack first) would weapon swap so fast you’d attack multiple times in one second, so that mod got blacklisted

[pulsar hazel]

Makes sense

[formal harness]

It can get you banned if reported. I'd dm the CM for clarity tho.

[broken carbon]

basically, if a mod lets you go beyond normal play, it’s not allowed

[strong gulch]

Technically you put primary and quell on the same button and that does perform a quell cancel. That's without mods or macros.

So idk if that's like a loophole or something.

[nocturne dust]

I mean the mod getting blacklisted is different from player bans

[velvet gate]

Man this went from ek and smite to this sweaty debate

[formal harness]

Because I do use a macro myself for m1 reload.

[velvet gate]

I feel like I don't even belong rn

[nocturne dust]

The birthday suit mod is a thing

[formal harness]

I can do it without any macros but macros save my fingers

[proper osprey]

Someone used something to get a unfair advantage

[formal harness]

so it is what it is

[strong gulch]

Yes. This is psyker chat.

[pulsar hazel]

Dw this is psyker-class people don't really argue here unless we get zealot-class refugees

[nocturne dust]

Stupid nerds

[broken carbon]

people got banned for using it past it getting black listed iirc

[velvet gate]

What's wrong w/ zealots?

[broken carbon]

erm

[strong gulch]

Yes. (also me sometimes)

[broken carbon]

im a zealot chat regular

:3

[nocturne dust]

I NEED SOURCES NOT RUMOURS AND WORD OF MOUTH 😭

[formal harness]

I've never been to zealot chat before

[nocturne dust]

Exactly.

[formal harness]

They say it's just violence there

[broken carbon]

this is a lie

[formal harness]

shut 🤐

[velvet gate]

Honestly I can understand

Zealot is a boring class

[broken carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-gif-25836431

[velvet gate]

Not pysker

[broken carbon]

me when im insane

[formal harness]

you are already insane

[pulsar hazel]

Zealot mains are extremely volatile and will argue over just about anything from my experience. Most zealot mains are also monoclass and never branch out making their opinions of other classes very misguided from what I've seen.

[proper osprey]

Nothing it’s the best chat and character btw

[patent mango]

why did they give zealot ds....

[proper osprey]

He’s wrong you know

[velvet gate]

My experience with zealots in game

[nocturne dust]

Zealots have brainrot.

[pulsar hazel]

Yeah that's the short and long of it

[nocturne dust]

That's not a joke, go to Zealot chat and 9/10 times it will be insane.

[velvet gate]

They lose their mind if you're not playing meta positions and don't know meta strategies

Like every zealot

[pulsar hazel]

Yes that's Zealots

[nocturne dust]

Positioning is a dump stat

[broken carbon]

nope, they lose their mind if you try to say that something that is explicitly bad, is not bad,

or if you ask for advice and then refuse said advice

[pulsar hazel]

but Zealots grip on what is meta is entirely Zealot oriented so they'll say stupid shit like "use +3 stamina on ogryn"

[broken carbon]

i have not seen anyone actually good at the game in zealot chat say that lol

[velvet gate]

Zealot propaganda

[proper osprey]

That not true what

[broken carbon]

reddit mindset methinks

[velvet gate]

Nah in game chat

Real experiences

[pulsar hazel]

Watched some big zealot main YouTuber recommend that once and some poor ogryn mains in comments unironically follow the advice 😭

[orchid ibex]

You have people talk in your games?

[patent mango]

the strat is to get max health curios with +5% bonus to eat entire medipacks as ogryn

[broken carbon]

every dt youtuber is awful

[proper osprey]

If you want like the best min maxxed loadout zealot chat is where you go lol

[pulsar hazel]

True

[velvet gate]

Yeah like every game? You don't?

[proper osprey]

Even for psyker builds

[broken carbon]

actually no, vet chat for @buoyant maple

[pulsar hazel]

Yeah... no

[proper osprey]

[formal harness]

I do agree that there are some specimens in zealot chat and lots of meta talk discussion, but I've never seen anyone not get crucified there for bad advice before. They like keeping bad advice out there

[nocturne dust]

Me unlisting my videos so I'm not a youtuber

[proper osprey]

[orchid ibex]

Usually just gg at the end and that's about it

[formal harness]

I used to have weekly fights defending lacerate uncanny setup knife lol

[broken carbon]

they tend to get angry the most at someone asking for advice and then refusing said advice

[pulsar hazel]

Oh no I've seen it. That said I've been on the discord since darktides release really. It used to be extremely toxic maybe 4-6 months ago

[proper osprey]

I never have people talk in game

[broken carbon]

i tried lacerate uncanny and i cannot get it to work

i have evolved out of the knife

[proper osprey]

The poop knife

[velvet gate]

40% complaints %20 instructions %30 meta discussion %10 gg

[formal harness]

I've been here since the start as well but not really participated in the chats so you might be right

[velvet gate]

Platform diff? Idk

[formal harness]

I actually had the class chats muted for a year or so

lol

[proper osprey]

I love zealot chat because it’s always geeking

[pulsar hazel]

I always say something like "any twinks in the chat?" while playing my ogryn TWINKDESTROYER at the start of missions and that cascades into an active chat

[formal harness]

Any twinks in the chat?

[pulsar hazel]

Hi.

[proper osprey]

@quiet wyvern is a twink

[velvet gate]

But you're not twink destroyer, you're Ari

[formal harness]

@broken carbon duo time btw

get your ass in a vc

[pulsar hazel]

I can be both ari, TWINKDESTROYER and a twink

[slate oasis]

psyker chat is the only one that has ever responded to my questions so it's the best by default

[broken carbon]

no i just got done trying to carry tintin through an AI-II

it is black ops 6 zombies time

[proper osprey]

He had to be carried

[pulsar hazel]

psyker is probably my least favourite class but the chat is top 2 definitely

[formal harness]

Lmao tintin getting carried

[broken carbon]

key word is trying

[proper osprey]

@quiet wyvern you naughty little boy

[velvet gate]

Man am I doing something wrong? My voidblast mastery is 10 but I still cannot empower it

It's at 200

[pulsar hazel]

veteran chat has some really good... veterans (in the other sense of the word) but being one of the most popular classes it also has a lot of time wasters and people arguing over pointless shit

[velvet gate]

How on earth is veteran the most popular

[pulsar hazel]

I think zealot is

[velvet gate]

The most popular should be pysker

[pulsar hazel]

is psyker or ogryn the least popular?

[velvet gate]

Pysker makes this game worth playing

[slate oasis]

fps players want to play John Gun I assume

[strong gulch]

That's my thinking.

[pulsar hazel]

psyker is the actual John Gun if you pretend the Voidstrike is a plasma gun with infinite ammo

veteran is John Gun- ah shit I'm out of ammo because Scavenger recieved it's bimonthly nerf

[velvet gate]

I'm literally in a lobby with only pysker and ogryn

Zealot/veteran must not be as popular as you make it seen

[pulsar hazel]

That's not how it works lol

[pulsar hazel]

Heaven..

[velvet gate]

I know

[spice veldt]

ogryn is usually in last place whenever polls are run

[pulsar hazel]

Ogryn is my fav class but it's totally understandable

Most people make self inserts in videogames and Ogryn is such an out of the way class it's something new players look at and think "I'll make this my 2nd/3rd/4th character"

Ogryn was my 4th and now it's my fave lmao

[quiet wyvern]

STOP

I'M NOT A TWINK

I'M NOT EVEN GAY

[proper osprey]

[quiet wyvern]

I'm literally on my way to a date and you're doing this

how fucking ironic

[proper osprey]

It’s ok I accept you for who you are

His seeing other men

[quiet wyvern]

I'M NOT

STOP IT

[proper osprey]

@pulsar hazel obliterate this Twink

[velvet gate]

Is uncanny op?

[proper osprey]

Depends on the weapon

And class

[velvet gate]

Dueling sword, I guess

[patent jacinth]

Dueling sword doesn't need it

[quiet wyvern]

thrust precog can solve everything uncanny needs lol

[proper osprey]

Ds I’d go with precog and repoist

[patent jacinth]

Its ADM's are good enough that high damage just works better

[thorn cedar]

https://youtu.be/OT1xC1bzDJs?si=UjDk8N97wTsHiGgf

[proper osprey]

I only use uncanny knife on vet and psyker

[velvet gate]

I'm just going to act like I understand all of your darktide slang🫡

[proper osprey]

The best blessings for the dueling sword mk 4 is precognition and repost

[pulsar hazel]

Uncanny knife is good dueling sword anything isn't because it's a boring ZZZ mimi weapon /hj

[velvet gate]

Tone indicators?!? Blegh

[slate oasis]

I like thrust + uncanny on dueling sword

[pulsar hazel]

Hj means hamburger jelper

[quiet wyvern]

Don't trust fyrestone

he runs +2 stamina on his knife +9 stam from curios

[proper osprey]

Uncanny isn’t needed for it doesn’t really make a difference

[proper osprey]

He’s wrong you know

[velvet gate]

Sigh

[pulsar hazel]

I run sprint eff because I don't use my knife for damage on psyker lmao

[velvet gate]

What's quickest way to leveling up weapon mastery?

[pulsar hazel]

Not talking in the discord

[proper osprey]

I run crit chance and stam

[velvet gate]

I try to just run one weapon the entire game

[strong gulch]

Meta on DS is uncanny. The second blessing depends on what you're building it for.

[velvet gate]

Queued

[proper osprey]

Malestrom

[velvet gate]

?

[slate oasis]

buy weapons of that same type from brunt, upgrade to green, sacrifice at hadron. ez max mastery

[pulsar hazel]

Stam just helps with blocking when using peril block. I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect how long you can sprint

[proper osprey]

The mission in the middle of the board

[pulsar hazel]

Crit chance on knife? Why though

[velvet gate]

Oh well Ill at it later

[pulsar hazel]

Knife has 15% inherent

[velvet gate]

Quick play for life

[proper osprey]

I run sprint eff, block eff, and Stam regen on my curios on psyker

[proper osprey]

Funny

More crit

[proper osprey]

We should play together

[pulsar hazel]

I don't bother with stam regen or block eff but I max out sprint eff on all slots and melee because psyker sprint is 0.5 when out of stamina

[proper osprey]

I’m gonna change it to unyielding probably

[pulsar hazel]

Unyielding or cara are my picks yeah. Unyielding for blaze weapons so you can stack fire DOT and switch to melee on bosses

Cara for else tbh

Ngl I think stam regen is a really overrated curio perk. Even max stacked it doesn't provide much of a difference. You'd genuinely have better stamina economy stacking sprint eff. imo

Not that you need stamina regen besides sprint on psyker because peril block scales of total stamina not stamina remaining afaik

[haughty star]

INFERNO FINALLY DONE

[broken carbon]

i was ur first like

no need to thank me

[thorn cedar]

i wont

(i will, thank u)

[broken carbon]

swag

[broken carbon]

i didnt know about being able to directionally throw with smite actually

thats vv neat

[thorn cedar]

right click smite really did poison the well

[broken carbon]

i also dont play psyker anymore tbf

[pulsar hazel]

Isn't damage the dump

[velvet gate]

Man y'all people are so different like the friend codes.

This is discord. Where is the awkwardness? Where is the anti-socialness?

[latent mauve]

Complex macros have never been tolerated

auto clickers are fine

[nocturne dust]

Sauce?

[latent mauve]

always first attack was removed from nexus by fatshark request due to it being a m1 qq m1 macro

[nocturne dust]

But that doesn't mean people were banned over it. I want actual links or Fatshark official postings so I can refer others to that.

[velvet gate]

Deadvoid you never did say if charged up for ep is good

[nocturne dust]

Idk what you mean by 'charged up for EP'

[velvet gate]

It's a talent node thing

[nocturne dust]

oh is that one of the purple nodes

Ah, it's the bottom one

[velvet gate]

"You can now hold up to to 3 stacks of ep"

[nocturne dust]

Yeah, generally the right and bottom are always takes

The middle and left are avoids for EP

[velvet gate]

Right?? Not left?

Left looks good

[nocturne dust]

Bio-lodestone ain't as great as you may think. Well, it might change at lower difficulties

but game spawns plenty of elites for it to just be better on dam

[latent mauve]

blud has never spoken to me and it shows

[velvet gate]

But what does it do exactly?

Does it mean 3x ep at 3 stacks?

[mossy oyster]

shoo

soyker

[nocturne dust]

No, it just means you get to use EP three times before you run out of stacks

EP benefits only apply as long as you have a stack

[velvet gate]

Hmm

[nocturne dust]

3 is a lot better than 1

[velvet gate]

What's count as next blitz for smite? Like until I let go or after I enemy hit by smite?

[nocturne dust]

When you let go, that consumes a stack

[velvet gate]

Okay

Man ep sounds so good idk why you'd never not use it

[nocturne dust]

Because it makes bad things mediocre, outside of smite

[velvet gate]

Assail id bad?

[nocturne dust]

or fights DD which is just as good for assail

[velvet gate]

🐴

[nocturne dust]

disrupt destiny benefits assail and more

EP doesn't do much more than DD

DD is generally the pick for assail

[velvet gate]

Man this talent tree is so techy

I feel like I'm playing Diablo 4😭

What blessings do you recommend for electro staff?

[latent mauve]

I should post some of my basically unusable builds

[pulsar hazel]

More like boss lightly tapping to death with a spoon

[velvet gate]

How good if the electrocute for charged up on smite?

[pulsar hazel]

I think laspis with gaze is still the best boss DPS available to psyker right? Maybe besides that one chainaxe with thrust idk

[velvet gate]

Because of the strat for Deimos force sword is heavy attack spam, wouldn't it benefit?

[pulsar hazel]

It's only real use is procing the 10% damage on elec. enemies which is another talent under Smite. It's really niche. So niche in fact it's practically never useful sadly

[lofty storm]

what is the lua for voidstrike? p1_m1 or p4_m1?

[nocturne dust]

lua?

[velvet gate]

Wait does any electric source apply the buffs? Like +1 jumps?

[pulsar hazel]

It used to but they fixed it lol

[velvet gate]

Is that how electro staff gets two stuns?

[nocturne dust]

They're talking about the node Charged Up, not Charged Strike

[velvet gate]

No I am talking about charged strike

[nocturne dust]

Charged Strike is a very bad node

[pulsar hazel]

Charged Strike is so cute but like basically not very good at all

1/4th of skullcrusher essentially

[velvet gate]

Reply ping to when u answer so I can see when I get on tomorrow

Also is the strat for dueling sword charged heavy, special poke, repeat?

[haughty star]

i like as low res as possible so i can actually generate peril lol

i'm pretty sure most are dumping res on pretty much every staff these days

[pulsar hazel]

That's fair. I like high res for some weapons since it makes dancing at high Warp Nexus easier but the way Purgatus works it hardly needs it

[nocturne dust]

no, it just stuns two people on its own

[haughty star]

hmmm will take that into consideration

[nocturne dust]

Mk4 is just heavy spam, the other marks is heavy special alternating

for single targets

[velvet gate]

Hm maybe that's why it felt so weird, earlier I was using mk2

[pulsar hazel]

I only prefer it on Voidstrike btw. I don't use Purgatus because it's just not my sorta thing so I was genuinely asking earlier haha. Thanks for educating me

[haughty star]

yeah with 80 res it's just too slow to gen peril

i don't take er with it either

[nocturne dust]

no

Even if warp res was good, no

Direct damage is significant on inferno with blaze away

[haughty star]

people used to dump damage in all fairness

[pulsar hazel]

I like Mk2. You wanna block cancel or special after Heavy 1. Heavy 2 is only used against packs of flak dregs

[nocturne dust]

They did, which was a choice

I don't think it was a great choice even then

[pulsar hazel]

Interesting.

I'll keep that in mind if I bother with purg

I just prefer traumaforce

Or voidblast whatever GW wants to call it

I don't think any staff is weak rn which is nice

[velvet gate]

But if you use electro, you're cool😎

[pulsar hazel]

Hard to even say which is best tbh. Electro is very good rn but I'm still in love with Voidstrike likely due to my hundreds of hours invested into it.

I do better with VS staff than with EK staff but maybe I'm just not used to M1 spam

[velvet gate]

Honestly I disliked voidstrike more than voidblast. So annoying how the blast would never one tap normie mobs

Always needed two to finish the job

[pulsar hazel]

I run Voidstrike with warp nexus and surge on a no ability warp siphon build stacking up to 24% damage. It let's you 1 tap hordes with minimal charge.

[velvet gate]

Not using ep🤢

[pulsar hazel]

and you often shoot out two magic missiles. With a good flick you can spread them out against a horde wiping a ton.

[pulsar hazel]

Why would I use EP

[nocturne dust]

Using EP 🤮

[velvet gate]

Because numbers feel good

[nocturne dust]

Indeed

which is why I don't use EP

because it gives the worst numbers

[pulsar hazel]

Smite EP horde-clear is nothing compared to optimised use of Voidstrike or really any staff.

[velvet gate]

Cuz you ain't true to the ep

Maybe

[pulsar hazel]

I run unupgraded Smite with my VS staff for securing revives and nothing else

[velvet gate]

But question is: do you look as cool as smite horde clear?

[pulsar hazel]

Literally nobody thinks you look cool

[velvet gate]

I look cool

[pulsar hazel]

I'm sorry but the entire Darktide community thinks Smite EP is the lamest shit ever

[velvet gate]

Jealousy

[pulsar hazel]

It's like using Griffonfoot BH in VT2

Everyone will judge you

[strong gulch]

This is the standard surge / electro / ek build. #psyker-class message

[pulsar hazel]

Actually nah nowhere near as bad

[haughty star]

i mean yeah smite ep is probably one of the most powerful builds in the game. it's just boring

[pulsar hazel]

My hatred of Griffonfoot BH mains extends beyond the screen. I hunt them down in real life

[haughty star]

and it makes things unfun for your teamies

[velvet gate]

Wait how is it op? It ain't op for me

It's niche rn? Does it get op late game?

[pulsar hazel]

[haughty star]

lol

yes

[velvet gate]

Basically all smite is good for RN is it stuns really well which I like

I literally never use it for damage

[haughty star]

that's uhh

[jovial juniper]

[pulsar hazel]

Build it right and it trivialises everything assuming your team can kill elites stuck in your web. It just lacks any boss damage whatsoever.

[haughty star]

strange for someone running ep

[nocturne dust]

They're on malice

[haughty star]

even elites don't stand a chance with the funny yell thrown in there

[ashen steppe]

Which staff is the one that does the ground aoe?

[pulsar hazel]

By elites I mean Crushers haha

[velvet gate]

Oh yeah what level range for what difficulty?

[nocturne dust]

Voidblast

[ashen steppe]

Gotcha

[pulsar hazel]

Traumaforce Voidblast

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[haughty star]

tramastrike

[haughty star]

like most psyker toolkit things, it increases in effectiveness with the more shit you throw at it

[pulsar hazel]

0 to Assail because low level weapons are dogshit: Malice
Heresy until you git good
Damnation when you stop sucking

[velvet gate]

Genuinely I feel like y'all are gaslighting me when you say smite can be op

[haughty star]

lol

[pulsar hazel]

I don't actually like Assail I just know how low level Psyker can be

[strong gulch]

Videos of smite being OP pre crafting update, and it didn't get weaker.

EP smite scales off of enemy density. SO the harder the content, the harder EP smite goes. Meaning it take a few seconds to kill 1 rager or 40 of them.

It farms PC and fire shriek procs while constantly ticking damage so you more than likely get the last bit of damage and get credit for killing things (even if you only did 25% of the damage).
#psyker-class message

[pulsar hazel]

Also it got a lot better when they added that chunky peril resistance talent

[haughty star]

yeah lol

i don't like ER on alot of things but smiteker is deffo better for it

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/weakness-disgusts-me-madara-uchiha-madara-naruto-weakness-disgust-me-gif-17219305

[pulsar hazel]

I like shooting bowling balls and never using my ability because I'm clinging to that measly 24% damage boost from warp siphon like my life depends on it (it does)

Remember when EP Smite wasn't that good so people instead went with Warp Siphon for the damage boost and peril resistance? Ah good times.

[velvet gate]

Tbh I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at

Video-wise

[nocturne dust]

You're looking at someone eliminate entire hordes of ragers, maulers, reapers, gunners, and bulwarks by holding down 2 buttons

while completely safe

[haughty star]

i just cheated on the void blast lol

[strong gulch]

Already at max??

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/looks-like-it-couldnt-stand-gif-18091870

[haughty star]

yes lol

[pulsar hazel]

Hello gorjous

[haughty star]

upgraded like 30 voidblasts to green and sacrificed them

[pulsar hazel]

:(

[nocturne dust]

I mean I do that for every weapon.

But then I use them.

[velvet gate]

How do you afford that

[pulsar hazel]

My voibglast :((

[velvet gate]

How are you so rich

[haughty star]

living in auric

[nocturne dust]

Auric moment

[velvet gate]

😭

[pulsar hazel]

The progression system was a scam until very recently so most of us just stockpiled resources for years

[strong gulch]

Oh then I mega cheated. I hardly do anything zealot and there are weapons that I didn't get the blessings for and whatnot. Yet I somehow had everything maxed. 💀

[nocturne dust]

I still have more diamantine and dockets then I know what to do with

[velvet gate]

I could put them to use

[nocturne dust]

You could.

Too bad.

[strong gulch]

I'm pretty good at dumping my ordos in the trash.

[pulsar hazel]

I gotta have yall review my fav build tomorrow (I am too comfy in bed) be kind to me later ok thanks

Zzzzz time

[nocturne dust]

Kindness is abhorrent
- Sincerely, Loading Screen Tips

[pulsar hazel]

I can't read I have too many hours in Ogryn

[haughty star]

[nocturne dust]

[haughty star]

skibbiti oggy rizz

[pulsar hazel]

It's so funny seeing Zealots argue meta and say shit like "if you go down you're as good as dead on Auric" meanwhile when my entire team goes down while I'm Ogryn I just press F and casually revive them all no problem.

Ogryn is so relaxing it's like playing Eurotruck Simulator compared to Asseto Corsa

[haughty star]

what is the shit for voidblast again?

do you need crit chance?

i'm assuming the rest is flak the fire one and nexus

[pulsar hazel]

Surge and Warp Nexus and you only really get a big benefit from Carapace so Crit Chance works tbf

[strong gulch]

flak + crit chance
Nexus + blazing spirit

[pulsar hazel]

Ohh boidblost

I read voidstrike

Thanks GW!

At least you didn't rename the Headhunter Autoguns

[strong gulch]

Another victim of the terrible renaming.

[pulsar hazel]

Oh wait

[pulsar hazel]

Veterans got done so much worse

Vraks HH and Columnus AG just randomly getting name swapped

[pulsar hazel]

It's confusing people to this day

[strong gulch]

Fire trauma / void blast things. I know you don't like ER; change that to your tastes. #psyker-class message

[pulsar hazel]

Not on this discord (mostly) mind you. I mean wilderness Zealots you meet while walking home from the cornershop

[latent mauve]

If you go down in auric you should expect to die

[pulsar hazel]

You're so cute <3

Zealot mains are adorable

[nocturne dust]

Loner Logic

rejects that stay together survive together

[latent mauve]

Have you ever played eu high shock

[nocturne dust]

My ping would kill me twice before I could walk 5 feet

[pulsar hazel]

Literally half of the games I do 😭

[nocturne dust]

sorry

5 meters

[latent mauve]

My record for picking people up is 81 in a single game

[nocturne dust]

jeebus

[pulsar hazel]

That's pretty high I know mine was in the 30s

[latent mauve]

Please move revive spot on silo cluster fs

[nocturne dust]

I got it good in US West, quite often nobody goes down

[pulsar hazel]

I should get the server switching mod and experience good players for once

[nocturne dust]

You don't need a mod?

[pulsar hazel]

EU pubs are usually worse than bots even on Auric

[pulsar hazel]

Oh?

[nocturne dust]

Can't you just change the matchmaking settings?

[strong gulch]

US east seems to be the middle child. Lots of downs but not like that

[nocturne dust]

I know I can

[pulsar hazel]

Is that so

[nocturne dust]

but I have a lot of mods

[pulsar hazel]

I saw a mod for it on Nexus

[latent mauve]

US east currently unplayable

[nocturne dust]

I don't think any mess with matchmaking tho

[latent mauve]

[pulsar hazel]

So I figured it's a mod thing

[latent mauve]

3 second input delays

[west flax]

warp res or quell dumpstat for inferno staff?

[strong gulch]

warp resist

[haughty star]

oh god we just loaded into a USE one

[west flax]

thancc

[west flax]

same goes for all staves?

[nocturne dust]

Actually it is weird. I used to see people go down a ton and then I leave for a week and return to people just playing well. Made me feel like I'd entered a parallel universe.

[west flax]

i see i can pick up a 60% blast radius on voidblast, but i never really used that one

[latent mauve]

It’s kind of hard to duo on 120ms as it is, with the servers being bad for over 14 days it’s worse

[pulsar hazel]

EU playerbase is so wonderful because they immediately ragequit after inevitably dying so they get replaced by a far more reliable bot

[strong gulch]

For the most part. VoidSTRIKE is different. Dump blast radius, but WR is fine too.

[nocturne dust]

Voidblast wants blast radius. Voidstrike is the one that dumps blast radius.

[haughty star]

that's most of the servers lol

[latent mauve]

Please change the names back Fatshark

[pulsar hazel]

I had a game yesterday where I went through a total of 10 different teammates

[nocturne dust]

🙏

[strong gulch]

VoidBLAST want max blast radius

[haughty star]

end this madness

[west flax]

it is voidstrike, mb

[latent mauve]

It wasn’t even GW

[nocturne dust]

[latent mauve]

It was FS

[west flax]

so im gonna buy that one with 60% blast radius dumpstat

[nocturne dust]

[strong gulch]

[pulsar hazel]

Just call voidSTRIKE funny bowling ball gun

[strong gulch]

ball

[pulsar hazel]

rocket launchar

[west flax]

bless

[strong gulch]

big ball and small ball

[pulsar hazel]

floor ball and bowling ball

fire ball, electric ball

see? so recognizable!

[west flax]

https://tenor.com/view/metalslug-gif-7308994

[pulsar hazel]

I wish Vet builds could even compete with how fun bowling ball staff is to me. I love hearing the headshot sounds plink off in a beautiful orchestra with every M2

I LOVE MURDER!!!! MURDER IS THE BEST

Hey off topic but what's the dump stat for knife assuming I am Mobilitymaxxing for utility purposes

[strong gulch]

Unironically I dump damage. I'm not saying that's the best, but the scaling between 60 and 80 is not that much. I think I have to hit a crusher one extra time by doing that.

[pulsar hazel]

Hmm alright. Maybe an even spread across other stats could be the most optimal tbh

[proper osprey]

My code is in my name

[pulsar hazel]

Apparently Penetration dump is meta in this case

With Uncanny max stacks it makes no difference

[analog agate]

Cause uncanny negates pen

[pulsar hazel]

Yurp

[strong gulch]

Oh right. nice

Thanks for checking.

[broken carbon]

tanner gif here

[broken carbon]

mobility, or if you take uncanny, penetration

depends on the build

precog riposte is an entirely valid knife

[strong gulch]

😭

[broken carbon]

but then youd want to have high pen

[pulsar hazel]

I know mobility is the usual. I was specifying mobilitymaxxing tho

[broken carbon]

then yea take uncanny and dump pen

[nocturne dust]

Imagine having canny strikes

[pulsar hazel]

What should I run for blessings? Precog Uncanny?

[broken carbon]

yea

[pulsar hazel]

Oki thank you

[broken carbon]

idk exact breakpoints

[broken carbon]

but on an SG DD build

youll deal absurd knife damage lol

[pulsar hazel]

It's okay I stab things like twice an aurdamn

If everything goes well nothing survives getting close to me :P

and besides clowncar doors spawning 5 crushers behind me that's normally the case

[zinc phoenix]

I’m starting to think mobility is a bad dump on a lot of melee weapons

[broken carbon]

bolter exec stance does this

[broken carbon]

it’s not lol

[zinc phoenix]

Idk, going fast is just generally useful

[broken carbon]

mobility dump is usually a small dodge distance difference

and a slight sprint speed decrease

[zinc phoenix]

It’s the sprint I’m more interested in

[latent mauve]

It’s 2%

[zinc phoenix]

Dodge can be a negative with some stuff 😂

Like some of the DS for a while I was maxed mobility and accidentally yeeting myself off ledges

[broken carbon]

just dodge the cliff

lol

[zinc phoenix]

🤦‍♀️ of course so obvious

😂

[strong gulch]

When DD kicks in.

[latent mauve]

You can dodge into other maps with a ds5

[zinc phoenix]

Quantum Leap Darktide edition

[broken carbon]

ds5 at dodge cap has a longer dodge distance than an eviscerator

:(

this will forever be something that upsets me

it’s very funny but

very sad

[latent mauve]

Not even joking, dodge from the mid event on vigil, end up being ledged on silo cluster

[nocturne dust]

Nah, people try to go too fast too often

[strong gulch]

I like fast, but max mobility knife + DD + SG speed node can be detrimental lol. Be afraid of ledges.

[latent mauve]

Me watching the stealth zealot do nothing the entire game

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-cat-upset-annoyed-perturbed-gif-2678264647403754706

[zinc phoenix]

I mean I know a lot of people just sprint forward mindlessly but from a positioning perspective being slightly quicker to a particular spot can be a big difference maker

[broken carbon]

me, the stealth zealot, watching the other zealot just watch me the entire game

[zinc phoenix]

For example if the entire floor is on fire

[zinc phoenix]

Or if you are trying to just get outside of the gunner mobs LOS

[latent mauve]

Ds5 also helped me find out a very annoying bug on Baross

Slide dodging can send you through a wall and to your death 20 seconds of falling later

[strong gulch]

Or you're easily distracted and end up running in circles but you're fast so you can finally keep up with the team. 🥲

[strong gulch]

getting stuck under things

[zinc phoenix]

Oh my god that happened to me

I slid under some collapsed pillar thing and got stuck

[pulsar hazel]

That's one of two Veteran builds I actually do use

[zinc phoenix]

I spent a good minute trying to work out the correct combo of crab walking, jumping and weird movements to escape

Finally good guy mutie rescued me

[strong gulch]

Slide to medicea and join the groaner stuck inside so it can hit you while you're stuck.

[pulsar hazel]

I don't think I've ever actually used DS5. Only 4 and 2. What's unique about 5?

[zinc phoenix]

It’s really good at killing players who dodge near ledges

Seriously

Big dodge distance

[pulsar hazel]

Really? Uniquely bigger than other DS?

[strong gulch]

It has strike downs and defenses. It's faster movement wise and has bigger dodges.

[zinc phoenix]

Yes really, awkwardly huge

[pulsar hazel]

Wonderful. Might use it as a mobility tool

[zinc phoenix]

That’s what everyone says 😂

[pulsar hazel]

Haha well I'll have to give it a go

[zinc phoenix]

if you can make it work without it ruthlessly murdering you you are the chosen one!

[latent mauve]

Furthest dodge distance in the entire game

It is actually comical

[pulsar hazel]

I'll combine it with the extra dodge distance talent because I'm sensible

[young summit]

Speaking of dueling swords

I've long been an Uncanny + Precog supremacist

What's the argument for something other than precog

[proper osprey]

repoist

[analog agate]

2 sec is a really really small buff window

[proper osprey]

more crits

[steep estuary]

I go poke poke not woosh poke

[latent mauve]

Horde clear

[zinc phoenix]

I like thrust + uncanny on the ds2

[latent mauve]

Rampage

[zinc phoenix]

Do we have enough cleave for rampage to work?

[strong gulch]

You need something to attack you (not be stunned, staggered, CC, turning away from you to attack someone else), make the dodge (not just move out of the way), hit weakspots, and only have a 2s active window to use it.

[latent mauve]

Yes

[zinc phoenix]

Warp splitting + cleave stat?

[jovial juniper]

4.5 lights

[zinc phoenix]

Hmm

[jovial juniper]

Knife has 3 on lights for reference

[strong gulch]

Pre warp splitting, DS had a cleave boost that let DS4 have just enough to activate rampage without PA. So with warp splitting, it's easier now.

[zinc phoenix]

I may switch to rampage from thrust

I think the only time it’d genuinely impact me is mutie poking

[haughty star]

Doesn't dodging the mutie count as a dodge towards precog?

and that's alot of how you get your quick one tap

[latent mauve]

Do I look at the forums today or the Reddit for free entertainment hmm

[haughty star]

i could be wrong but i thought that was part of it

[strong gulch]

Try it and see how you like it. Though between assail or staff builds, it might not be as good as you want it to be.

[zinc phoenix]

I think it’ll be great for my wacky meleeker setup 😂

[haughty star]

man i was really putting in work with my rmb assail a minute ago lol holy fuck

[zinc phoenix]

RMB assail is BB without the ass pain inherent in using BB I swear

[young summit]

And without armor damage

[haughty star]

just snipers and shit man

it comes in so clutch lol

[young summit]

BB craves empowered psionics

[haughty star]

only good reason to use ep is smite, we don't speak of that here tho

[young summit]

Nah

[haughty star]

just the weakspot bonus from dd alone makes up almost as much damage as EP adds to assail

and ep brainburst is not a great build lol

fun but not optimal for sure

[young summit]

A stack of EP plus kinetic resonance go brrr

Frankly I wouldn't use BB at all outside of having those cast speed buffs

[haughty star]

yeah most of us just don't

[young summit]

Much to consider

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/the-mask-dodge-gif-22809594

[haughty star]

only reason i grab bb is for kinetic flayer on purgatus

[young summit]

Now that's what I call a meme build

[haughty star]

or for funsies when i'm running shield lol

[young summit]

(I do that as well)

[nocturne dust]

It also goes great with trauma

KF, not BB

[latent mauve]

Consecutive overheads in dodge distance

Like why fs

[haughty star]

bb would fill a hole in trauma tho.. but there's always my beloved lmb macro

[proper osprey]

I hope kf gets a buff

[haughty star]

it did

[proper osprey]

It did?

[haughty star]

it only targets specialists and elite and monstrosity now

[nocturne dust]

I mean, no, because of lmb.

[proper osprey]

Oh yeah that

[haughty star]

that's huge lol

[nocturne dust]

Like, Trauma is the staff I use lmb on most.

[haughty star]

yeah i legit mentioned lmb in the comment lol

forgot to throw a /s in there evidently

[nocturne dust]

well, I thought you were talking seriously with that comment

[nocturne dust]

Internet needs another wire for sarcasm 🙏

[haughty star]

i'm hoverying over charge strike on my voidblast build i'm thinking of trying lol

it's so worthless

[analog agate]

Emoji sarcasm is

[haughty star]

i might just grab another toughness node. prolly do me more in the long run lmao

[steep estuary]

[haughty star]

[nocturne dust]

You're not taking KF?

😭

[haughty star]

lol chill it's my first iteration

[steep estuary]

Kentucky Fried

[haughty star]

kentucky fried heretics

[steep estuary]

Best ability

[haughty star]

now that's some good eats

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[analog agate]

Why charged strike

[nocturne dust]

No, your first build should be perfect

[haughty star]

i haven't seen how bad it is for myself yet

[analog agate]

It’s something alright

[nocturne dust]

Take it into the psykh and it becomes immediately apparent

[haughty star]

i do like the kf proc every once in a while but i know i'd actually use smite from time to time.

i ain't ever gonna use non-kr bb lmao

i use it on very rare occasion on purg, but i have literally no other option there lol

[analog agate]

Anytime I look at zealot chat they are never talking about darktide. What a strange chat

[haughty star]

maybe i'll grab WE just cuz i'm bad and running ER

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-silly-place-holy-grail-gif-14462043

[haughty star]

i just realized that.

arguing or not

psyker chat pretty much always be talking about soyker

[nocturne dust]

Si

[haughty star]

but you gotta think there's like 4 good ways to build a zealot lol

so it checks out

[nocturne dust]

Eh

Idk, zealot chat seems pretty set on a certain path

[haughty star]

basically all i've ever seen recommended are two

you either run right top and marty, or right top and piety

then there's weird shit beyond that

i got like 15 different builds for soyker that all work well and run auric ezpz

i got like one zealot i can hold up in auric with lol

[nocturne dust]

To be fair, their top is super

[haughty star]

who's the bottom?

[nocturne dust]

Well, if the zealot has a top, assumably the zealot

[silent wigeon]

the shock staff thing you told me works by the way, thank you.

[steep estuary]

I gotta hone my skillz and tackle auric

[strong gulch]

Oh nice!

[haughty star]

so far voidblast is my least favorite

it's really cool when it works tho

[strong gulch]

It's different for sure.

[haughty star]

it just needs like ALOT of enemies to work well

like i did a stg with it and it was okay but it was deffo working better in a high intensity engagement zone

[strong gulch]

Random little dude running around is best to just LMB it.

Also controling the scatter.

[haughty star]

like it needs that high density in the area to crit

[strong gulch]

No. Just edge.

[haughty star]

well yeah but like consistently lol. i edge all the time.

my 2nd psyker is named "EdgingEnjoyer" lol

[strong gulch]

[left basin]

https://tenor.com/view/nah-man-jake-gyllenhaal-nope-no-gif-5500150

[vernal agate]

Yeah I just took a look

Scrier’s gaze is divination

Assail and telekine shield are both telekinesis but they’re on different trees

[left basin]

they just slap shit somewhere and hope not too many people get pissy

[slate oasis]

so there's that one voiceline where the psyker says don't accept snacks from Melk because he found a piercing in his. why is Melk randomly handing out fucked up snacks? is he just trolling the convicts for fun

[scarlet garden]

[brazen rampart]

Melk def eats people.

[acoustic swallow]

does terrifying barrage also work on big enemies such as crushers or does it only work on smaller ones?

[cyan portal]

only shooties and infested chaff can be suppressed

or non-infested chaff, i forget which. either way its a terrbile blessing

[lament moss]

It’s Melk. He just Melks that way. You don’t get named the Dutch word for milk without taking some mental damage

[plucky flax]

Sour milk is salty we don't need him anymore post update

[echo root]

If only he gave me a 3stam curio that wasn't rounded down due to being 400gs

[plucky flax]

Not having max curios

[buoyant maple]

Groaners, scab shooters, scab stalkers, dreg stalkers, scab gunners, dreg gunners & reapers can be suppressed

EVERY OTHER ENEMY IS SUPPRESSION-IMMUNE

[strong gulch]

Also infested vs not.

[radiant frigate]

he still has his use

premium trinkets and doodahs

[proud frost]

is warp splitting worth getting?

[ashen trellis]

on electro staff, does this proc on 3rd and 4th chained hit?

[scarlet garden]

I tried Dueling sword and heavy laspistol it was nice tbh

Also use assail for toughness management, Lot of dodge and slide dancing on psyker i noticed

[upper sun]

hes but only for projectiles not the zap

[latent panther]

it can be done with friends in party or just bots?

[proud frost]

man, why do so many of the perks not work on the zap?

[nocturne dust]

on gunker/assail/voidstrike yes

[upper sun]

fatshark moment

[upper sun]

you need at least 1 person to make a private games

i can help in an hour to 30 minutes

There is a way to proc nurgle beast? or encouters are random?

plague ogre and nurgle beast

oh you mean the spawn? yeah its random

Do any of u use combat blade btw?

[nocturne dust]

Some people use knife

I finally got a 3 stam curio that actually rounds up to 3 stam

[nocturne dust]

It's the choice if all you want is mobility

[scarlet garden]

Ah

[echo root]

and nice push attacks

[nocturne dust]

Meh

[scarlet garden]

I currently moved to duelling from forceswors for a bit for more movement speed but idk how i feel

[nocturne dust]

Don't worry, Fatshark will never add more interesting psyker exclusives

They want us to suffer

[echo root]

Someone join twins damnation EU

[scarlet garden]

One day

Ogryn chainsword

[nocturne dust]

Lorewise a chainsword and ogryn is a bad combination

Ogryns use clubs for a reason

[scarlet garden]

Ah yes boneheads

[upper sun]

why

[nocturne dust]

They don't really care about their weapons and have overwhelming strength anyway

[scarlet garden]

Btw void

Does precognition and riposte work with empathic evasion?

[ashen trellis]

damn that sucks lol, thanks tho

[nocturne dust]

iirc, yes

[scarlet garden]

Those could be good talents

[slate oasis]

no one has touched this mission in like a year I'm sorry to say

[nocturne dust]

Eh

In practice I never use precog/riposte for staffker

[scarlet garden]

Ah more for gunker

[nocturne dust]

The only staffker that can really take full advantage of EE is inferno, and you don't need precog/riposte at that point.

You instead want uncanny and some other blessing that will just work for when you rarely pull out your dueling sword

or deimos

[jovial juniper]

Damnation has a guaranteed boss

Lights Out has more DH
But it's also Auric so it's not the best idea

[proud frost]

can yall give a vibe check on this rq?
the build is supposed to be going full rip and tear with the illisi, cause fun.

[nocturne dust]

Empyric Resolve for meleeker is kinda bad

because crack of bone

You should probably spend those 4 points on soulstealer + perilous combustion and assail

and there's also warp splitting

also the 2.5% toughness on peril node isn't great

You should probably also grab the bottom node on DD

Also also, critical hit damage is a terrible perk

Do not take that

It's not optimal on anything because the damage boost only affects the difference between a crit and a normal hit and not the full hit

This would be my recommendation based on what you have

but also note that I don't have a ton of experience with gunker, my specialty is staffker, so some other psyker is probably better informed on the issue than me

(and this is gunker, because meleeker is gunker is assailker)

[plucky flax]

Assail

[nocturne dust]

You know, assail annoys me the more I use it.

Maybe one day I'll appreciate gunker, but I took to staffker so naturally everything else just feels off

other than zealot

melee go bbbbbrrrrrrr

[austere warren]

Throw shard, pivot to melee, see shard bounce between targets you're in the pit with.

Assail2kewl

[austere warren]

Dis work fine

[proud frost]

why perilous combust?

[austere warren]

The soul blaze is very easy to pop by just playing

Not necessary but it's not dead node for right tree.

[summer prairie]

whenever I've ran PC without other source of SB the soulblaze damage has been quite low

if that build uses assail a lot, i would rather have more assail cleave

[proud frost]

may not be a dead node, but certainly isnt best i could do

[tight saddle]

oh wtf you can't go up on the talent tree to connect nodes?

[proud frost]

yup

[tight saddle]

lame

[plucky flax]

Silo cluster so painful.

[upper sun]

silo cluster end is the worst part

[plucky flax]

Yeah I just lost at end event.

[upper sun]

if the team doesnt clear out the zits in the first 3 minutes its over

[plucky flax]

Too many specials and I was on burga and chill.

[upper sun]

i like the part past the elevator and through the tunnels

[plucky flax]

Regretted not playing surge.

[upper sun]

but the end event changes made it a bit much

'member when the zits werent so far away and you could easily solo them

i member....

[summer prairie]

it's fun but too much fire everywhere when trying to clutch solo

or poison

[upper sun]

it never ends

kill specialists
your team dies to elites
kill elites
your team dies to specialists

https://streamable.com/ta2moz

[proper osprey]

I just play purg psyker

On silo

God the new purg staff is so good I love it

[plucky flax]

Yes.

But my team last round was super sus.

I had most specials kills on burga with a vet in team

I just wanted to burn some horde mane

[proper osprey]

[proper osprey]

My vet is a knife seeking elite/special killer

I love mercy killer

It’s so good

I don’t know how anybody can struggle with any content with that build

[wind spruce]

You will soon feel superior because that's exactly what duelling swords are compared to force swords

[proper osprey]

I realized that I only heavy on the ds so I switched to the knife for even better mobility

Because I only heavy with the knife on psyker

[compact anvil]

how do you psyker bros do it, played psyker and got one up to 30, specced for auric and felt like I had to do 5x the effort

[proper osprey]

The purg and trauma carry a lot

[dull osprey]

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE PLAYING MARTYR ZEALOT ON PUSSY MODE

[upper sun]

i play ethically

i get low i stay low

[nocturne dust]

Just don't get hit

/s

[upper sun]

i dont make myself low and i only heal if everyone else did

[dull osprey]

thats not ethic play thats pussy

real man play on 1 hp and only healing is until death procs

[tight saddle]

How many wound curios is that for a marty build?

[upper sun]

3

[tight saddle]

what else do you put on them?

[nocturne dust]

Although, really, it is kinda true Psyker is all about the glass cannon way. Do damage before the enemy can, and kill them before they kill you.

[upper sun]

perks?

[mossy oyster]

That pfp brings back memories

[tight saddle]

yeah

[dull osprey]

u get 3 and 2 from talents

[upper sun]

3x hp 3x toughness 3x gunner

[nocturne dust]

reaper resist when

[tight saddle]

ty ty, I'll try something like that out

[upper sun]

np

[compact anvil]

yeah, the game isn't in a good state rn

so I mostly quit for DT and other games

[mossy oyster]

mercury with golden bow simpler times

[compact anvil]

merc was bonkers

[mossy oyster]

some would say better some would say worse (I’d say better)

[tight saddle]

Diamantine is rare now that I'm trying to consecrate up everything on 3 classes for different builds. 1 year 8 months ago this would have been the opposite

[mossy oyster]

One of the best assassins made imo

[scarlet garden]

Voidblast is fun

[mossy oyster]

super fun passive is sick

[dull osprey]

mercury lovers unite

[scarlet garden]

And dancing around the place like gordon ramsey in olivers kitchen

[compact anvil]

my vote always went to awilix for kit design

[mossy oyster]

He could usually always swing the game for you

[dull osprey]

nothing like all the monkeys overcharging ult then hitting a wall sitting there guess my team loses 4v5

[compact anvil]

and yeah once merc hit critical mass in the past, very hard to stop

but people whined and got him nerfed

[mossy oyster]

Yeah in terms of assassin designs she’s probably one of the better ones

really fun character to try and 1v2 on

[dull osprey]

eh she just had an enforced gimmick

[mossy oyster]

too bad 90% of awilix players can’t knock up with their 3 so they can’t self Ult

i mean there was no way to get a knockup cuz non-idiots just faced you and beath you to death

[mossy oyster]

Yeah basically

[dull osprey]

without her ult she loses 1v1 so why would u ever turn ur back on her

[compact anvil]

there was a trick with awilix where you could knockup from the front, you just had to be touching them in melee distance, swing your character to the side, use the puma, then that would cause knockup into ult

[mossy oyster]

idk she can win with face stabs and just her 2 being timed well

Her Ult self buffs were a lil strong

[mossy oyster]

I remember that yea

[ashen trellis]

what's the curio meta nowadays

[plucky flax]

It's whatever you want.

[orchid ibex]

i don't know what's meta but i like 21% hp with 5% hp to hit 200+, then just two +17% toughness

[prime elk]

psyker feels so bad without a stam curio tho 😮‍💨

[orchid ibex]

i agree, but whenever i drop the hp i die to a bad poxburster situation or something, or go lower toughness i get eaten by riflemen or something. it's a tough choice. +3 stamina is definitely good on psyker

[prime elk]

yeah i'm not a huge fan of psyker's curio situation

vet and zealot i feel fine taking no stam curios

[orchid ibex]

it has to do with us having very low stamina and also being fragile, i don't think any curios will solve both

[prime elk]

exactly

[orchid ibex]

i always run KD though, so that helps with the defensive side of bad stamina

but i have seen people more educated on game mechanics than me suggest at least 200+ health and then some combo of 2 toughness or toughness/stam

[plucky perch]

i run a 21 + 5% health my self, similar toughness and a wound admitedly on 4 and 5

[exotic phoenix]

I feel like the 17% toughness, 21% max health and 1 wound curio is the general psyker build and then depending on how in depth you want to be, csn get more specialized. People switch up the wound curio for either another toughness or stamina curio

[prime elk]

wound is fine if you're learning the game, but otherwise it's not fine

[exotic phoenix]

Also i don't feel as bad for stamina when the perk that converts blocking stamina to peril is so good

• deflector on the force sword

[prime elk]

For me the stamina is mostly a concern when it comes to pushing

And stamina still synergizes with KD quite well, but that’s a smaller upside for me

I don’t even run KD half the time

[ashen trellis]

whats the best stat to have at 60% for electrokinetic staff? I feel like all of them are equally as useful lol

[narrow lichen]

I think my Until Death and Holy Revenant glitched out on me

a group of ragers killed me without it even triggering

then while i was down it triggered

when i was on 1hp of red health

[plucky flax]

If you play right click warp resist.

[ashen trellis]

yeah I do, thanks!

[prime elk]

why not crit damage

the difference is miniscule, idk if it impacts breakpoints tho

never tested, and it'd be super situational anyway

[summer prairie]

because it's not just damage

[prime elk]

care to elaborate?

[summer prairie]

it's 4% something crit chance as well

[patent steeple]

I think its also the crit chance, but the tooltip at least has it listed as melee crit chance...

[prime elk]

yeah i thought that was melee crit chance lol

i mean the game could be lying

i wouldn't put it fast fatshart to lie about it inadvertently

[patent steeple]

I mean, Falter blessing for shock mauls has its listed effects say ranged attack stagger, only because that blessing is mostly just on Helbores...

[summer prairie]

Originally all the ranged weapons with the crit stat stated that it's for melee only and they only fixed the text for some. It was always ranged crit chance

[patent steeple]

imagine if it really was melee, and thus only applied on the staff bonk...

[prime elk]

i have no idea if this is the case or not, but i'm too lazy to reroll my staff at this point

[orchid ibex]

how's the las pistol for gunker builds? which mark feels better?

[patent steeple]

mk2, always.

[orchid ibex]

@patent steeple do you run infernus and dum dum?

[patent steeple]

yes

[orchid ibex]

what about perks? my heart says flak and maniac/elite

but that's because i run that on a lot of stuff

[summer prairie]

I would run unyielding

[orchid ibex]

i'll give that a shot

[summer prairie]

or crit% if you don't want to headshot all the time as it does 0 damage without crit/weakspot

depending on whether you also run SG

[orchid ibex]

i am using sg

[pastel warren]

Does smite damage stack from multiple smiters

[radiant frigate]

yes

kind of like asking "does gun damage stack if multiple people are shooting"

[echo root]

I mean the smite debuff could have been a unique id and would be overwritten by the latest smite

[radiant frigate]

it is also just a direct attack however

[pulsar hazel]

which force sword has best mobility/dodge (if its even worth going for)

[uncut sinew]

illisi imo

special doesn't lock you in place and it cleaves
