warp charge, perilous combustion
warp charges, perilous combustion
I mean your choices are BB and smite
I throw the shard, the shard pierces. Pierce cool. Assail cool.
Zaps or power word: aneurism. Hm...
This is your standard surge / electro build. #psyker-class message
Regular trauma and purg work of the same build with minor deviations.
Maybe I do want to hear crit zaps.
EK, trauma, and purg all kinda have the same build
and Voidstrike still works fine with that build too
zap staff seems to give too many blessing points
now i permanently have the blessing point indicator :(
yip
just the trauma staff left and i have all the staves maxed
mod fix when
We all know Fatshark will take too long to do it 
what blessings are good for the trauma
nothing ive tried really feels too different so far
Blazing spirit and warp nexus for fire trauma
Blazing Spirit (Tier 3 or 4, doesn't matter which since the max stack count is the same) with Warp Nexus is the best kind of Trauma imo
ill give it a shot
havent invested at all into blazing spirit unfortunately
ill see if i can feed it some guns
i have like 300 useless guns
I recommend trashing any blue+ weapons
and using that plasteel to level white traumas to green to sacrifice
it gives a lot more xp when you have a weapon of the same type
Welcome to the club 
hmmm good to know
ill do that then
ty
ground up and remolded into trauma staff....
rending shockwave+warp flurry for any C-I-VI 
but hot hot fire builds are cool
Why would you run rending shockwave on Trauma?
when you say trash, do you mean discard?
Yes.
for a rend build
yes
How about just killing everything super quickly instead.
does it notify that it gives plasteel? i only got the noti for dockets
I literally said for C-I-VI
You only get plasteel for blue rarity or higher weps
unless you dont play mealstorm
they were purples and golds exclusively
then it should've said
I guess check your plasteel and see if you've been cheated
i didnt pay attention to my plasteel prior

we should be good regardless
I usually play maelstorm unless it's the same one back to back.
we're rich
ok i tested it with my zealot
i still got the plasteel, just didnt give the notification
I mean fire trauma doesn't have that big of a problem with carapace
Just knock em down and poke em while they're on the floor
How many blasts do you even save with rending shockwave?
yes but you dont kill as fast w/ RS+flurry
ah, how nice
uh that's very wrong
Ds4 shenanigans are ds4 shenanigans
This + Wildfire + In Fire Reborn is so nice.
how's that wrong
dueling sword to the head is a very quick way to kill crushers
oh yea gotta use dat sweet dueling sword in C-I-VI 
you cannot give soul blaze stacks when they are on 6 or more stacks
It's for warp charges
you are going to be one blessing short after your shriek
well what would you recommend i put on it then
Do not listen to this Heretic, run Blazing Spirit
ill try blazing spirit cus i was running the brittle one before
well wildfire evenly spread the stacks it's not really a good node
More heresy
im just leveling mastery and using staves i got pre-patch
It's a good node mostly because it makes mobs die while affected by soulblaze, which procs in fire reborn
Which means you can spam venting shriek more
Which makes more fire
I know it only spreads if you have 2 or more
I know it only refreshes if they have 4 charges
It's also not good logic to say it sucks because it spreads evenly. This is a horde game, you ain't killing single enemies.
well its certainly poorly worded
because if you are running shriek you will be stacking 6 to all the mobs already
and it wont spread if they already got 4
i think theyre saying its good because it makes the spread happen constantly and effectively extends the duration of ur shrieks fire
It will spread to mobs unaffected by shriek
thus procing in fire reborn more
let's say you trauma blaze with 5 stacks then what
i dont think wildfire is that good either, but i wanna try it out and see for myself
and there are more enemies that exist, dummy
is horde game
always more
ill just try the build for myself
i can see the appeal of it, i dont expect it to be strong because shriek is already pretty easy to loop
but i might be surprised who knows
the biggest fallacy here being, truama has a radius of 8.4 at max charge
this
spread
Fire trauma is proven to be better dps than rending trauma. That shouldn't be a matter of debate in the slightest.
how are you going to reach anything beyond 15 with your trama RMB?
Wildfire.
or is that 8 dmg/tick really matters
That's literally how it helps
and also it'll stack to 4
on every enemy, because it's a horde game and you're killing tons
it's a dead node because of that 4 stacks limit
Rather than having a pointless argument that will convince no one why not go into meatgrinder and test how fast you kill a horde with/without
Can even film it
i was actually about to test that lmao
I'm really struggling with those random ass non horde encounters with scattered enemies in mid range when playing right click electrokinetic, should I just try to stick very close to my team when that happens or is there something else I should do
doesn't matter if I run smite or bb
The issue is you kinda need a real situation to show its full power, wildfire's use is in the continuous enemies and how it spreads, not some TTK test
yeah^
because venting shriek just kills everything already you need a back to back horde fight
a pouring in of a horde
i think wildfire has value in filling in the gaps of your shriek
but even on the 50 poxwalker creature spawner test, you can tell the difference between no wildfire and wildfire. It's very minor in a small test like that, but it's there.
ill try this and see if i struggle with armor
the lack of brittleness might mess me up when i knock something down and go for knife pokes
pretty fun build
i like it
armor wasnt an issue that match cus 2 bolter vets but my chaff clear was a lot higher overall that match
oh jeez it's tekona
can use uncanny to remedy this for the same effect (also juices up soulblaze vs armor)

you can also be insane and play rending blaze trauma entirely poweredby true aim
entirely impractical? mostly yes
iiiveg, do i go lose my auric maelstrom survivor progress?
tbh i did it coward mode and hand picked modifiers
after failing it many times that's probably what i'm going to do
bubble in ranged
truama in scab
hammer in monsters
i did like 2 randomly thats enough 
it got really disgusting towards 5/5 we had 4 bubble psykers
at one point i had 5 regen auras on top of me (yes they stack)
lol
i also have no friends who will play auric with me so i'm doing it fully with pugs
that's the definition of pain
you can look for people in #vox-lfg-lexicanum
I did it swapping between psyker and ogryn but I had no friends I just incidentally got it
people say pub lobbies are awful but I always get good people with outliers sometimes
they're usually great players but sometimes you get ones who are not
I only recently started doing Auric, most games are fun and perfectly fine, but last night I had one where 12-16 people left as soon as they joined and went down shortly after instantly leaving before I could attempt to get them up.
I did most of the mission with 3 bots before the last set of players that actually stayed. Those were gamers.
sometimes you get braindead teammates, often you get people who leave on the first down to cheat the penance, and often people who i swear are so good they're carrying me. it's just a mixed bag as you'd expect.
It's the title farmers
Pretty sure @spice veldt doess lol
yeah they're leaving so it doesn't reset the title penance
Title farmers aside, this is also just a way to revive yourself / have bots clutch the run
People actually leaving heavily depends on the mission
i have seen people just leave and come back to basically pick themselves back up
But honestly this was probably because servers were apparently scuffed earlier
i just talented disrupt destiny for the first time and i'm trying it out
spent like 10 minutes looking for a marked enemy but nothing
i wonder if i'm doing something wrong
they just glow
they'll show up blue but if you look away it resets to something new
This really shouldn't be a thing either.
also what diff are you on?
It doesn't work in the meat grinder
that explains it lol
it can work in the meat grinder if you have the creature spawner mod, and disable invisibility
enemies that can get marked are shooters, gunners, ragers, shotgunners, bruisers
i don’t remember if maulers can be marked
ogryns can not be marked
Maulers yes
oml i'm so bad with purgatus lmao
They were the only ones down and easily revivable from my perspective. Especially since it was me, 2 bots, 1 random most of the time after the initial people left left. I'm familiar with people leaving to cheese it, but they never reconnected and it took forever to fill their slots.
Trick with purgatus is to abuse the left click attack
It's really good suppression and stagger and deceptively high range. Basically no damage but think of it like pocket sand
You can advance on ranged enemies with M1 before breaking out into a dance with melee or M2
Using M1 effectively is how you win with Purgatus imo
yeah sometimes you just need to force push your way out of a situation
No that's too hard
Purgatus primary trivializes most things tbh
Just CC the entire level
Scream when high peril
Repeat
I too scream whenever I am in high peril
I'm more of a maniacal laugh type
sssssssssdw
Understandable
don't tab over in a match folks
im trying to decide on my second blessing for my purgatus after warp nexus
blaze away
for everything
and the brittleness one is good for bossing from what i'm told
my problem with blaze away though is that the stacks disappear the moment you stop firing
On the other hand
yeah it comes back so quickly it's not an issue
Run n gun is funny on Purgatus
personlaly the last thing i want for purg is to be less powerful lol
and blaze away affects the burn damage?
yes
it used to be better tbh, but now i feel like it's hard to slot it in when other really good options exist
it's still funny for the meme though
Yeah I'm memeing
ok looks like if i immediately start m1'ing after my m2, i can maintain my blaze away stacks long enough for things to die
i suppose thats pretty efficient
although i might just choose the brittleness one just because its just straight up damage with no contingencies
Blaze away is a massive damage boost even if you don't try to maintain the stacks, but you can charge your m2 nearly to 50% without dropping them. It's not a significant difference either way since it goes back up to max stacks very quickly
Guys, I realized that I suck as a player 😔
does staff damage count as warp attack?
what is a meta psyker build?
the m1's and m2's count yeah but not special poke
so the right click zap on electrokinetic staff isn't a warp attack?
it is
ah ok
Special poke is that janky shitty bash attack all staves have
the right click is a warp attack, what i meant is when you press the special attack button where he does the physical thrust- that one isnt
I would honestly say gunker
Or blazing trauma staff/purgatus staff with hella soulblaze stacks
What is soulblaze?
Any staff build
its the fire damage from psykers (characterized by the blue flames)
Are you less of a psyker because you use a gun and not a staff?
no gun is like 1/3 of the builds
They wouldn't dare question the insane person with a gun
psyker needs dual revolvers
Why my gif didn't appear?
grey name moment
oh saltzpyre does have dual pistols i forgot that
Not really. Gunker has some of psykers top boss damage.
Still not great boss damage outside of a couple guns, and none of them are really that good
I see many psykers using the bolt gun
Some people like it. They're crazy, but they do.
bistol psyker is great
I tried it and found that it annoyingly misses a lot of breakpoints
Ammo economy is terrible as well
Can a gun really replace a staff?
Oh yes
Replace? No
Be a very poor substitute that does a whole lot less and requires a lot more effort? (subjective)
Yes
I started using it instead of a staff, it is pretty fun & requires more effort
Just save your team from hogging the ammo. Use a staff
I feel like not using a staff is ignoring a part of the gameplay. I can use guns with all other classes
I only play as psyker so I like to switch it up a little after getting worn out from the same stuff
Wearing out as Psyker? Heresy!
Same. I have a knife zealot that I barely play but do it anyways for fun
Nah I’ve spent plenty of time with staves. Gunker/stryker is fun in its own way
I just started experimenting with other classes after playing a psyker for so long, I am liking the thunder hammer with zealot but I miss my psyker lmao
Very different from staff psyker gameplay
But I have to say all staves are pretty boring
NOW THAT IS HERESY!!!!!!!!
The light attack feels very underwhelming
Electric staff is my favorite & pretty fun zapping everything
Don't use the lights 
I use smite so it feels like using twice the same thing
Tf are you using the light attacks for?
The m1 attack? With the right build it’s totally broken
They have very, very different purposes tho 
Like cheese levels of broken
they should make staffs where you can combo lmb and rmb attacks like the ut2k4 shock rifle
Why ruin the game for yourself when you can ruin it for three other people!
You also have to use questionable tactics to make lmb spam broken
Exactly
LMB on staves have saved me from shitty situations
Git gud
Can’t you tell that I’m a just a casual player?
Voidstrike doesn't need lmb ever, Voidblast and EK only really need it when there happens to be a sniper staying out of range but those moments are rare
All the more reason you can do whatever you want
I only say that I’m a casual player b/c I mostly play on Auric T4 missions
bistussy is amaing
swag
there NEEDS to be a talent to make my self destructs stronger
so sad seeing my character go boom just to see the enemies survive
if i die i want to take the whole block with me
what about the uh
malefic momentum
I haven’t asked hahnda for the numbers on that but I can safely assume it will probably add another 100 dmg or some shit
and perils explosion will still be ass
suppose they just forgot it cuz in vt2 due to friendly fire siennas were actually casuing team damage 
who thought being able to shoot through your teammates was ok
i demand repercussions and bloodshed
Me
It was a good idea, friendly fire is dumb

Yeah, lets just reduce the number of things that could cause people to rage at their teammates
good thing we still have barrels for the pvp meta
We'll always have barrels
Had a noobie assail psyker kill me with one just yesterday. Pretty sure he had no idea what he'd done
you guys can shoot through teammates?
i like to shoot them just to let them know i'm nearby
Add friendly fire dmg + the lit flamer death knockback to peril explosion imo
I actually got the “kill 40 heretics in a single gaze activation” using Rashad. 
Don't.
And then there’s me using stryker Rashad to win melee dps races against zealots and karsolas ogryns
i wanna try making a support psyker build
are there builds out there for smite/telekine shield
Psykers can use the Super Shotgun!?!
Yeah
putting shame to all those "gun psykers" using baby weapons and tiny stabby pokers
even better if you pair your super shotgun with something like a chainaxe
...and idk since when but they can now use my fav melee weapon
super shotgun needs to be paired with movement speed
(that would be the heavy swords but haven't actually tried on psyker)
Heavy swords are very bad on psyker
Meleeker moment
I don't think they're better for psyker than class specific melee weapons but they're fine
but go where?
with that kind of armanent they'll be running from you lmao

bitch super shotgun doesn't need to do anything
just needs you to obey
yea good luck running around using scriers at 2 movement speed with a chain axe
Im good
"I am Justice!" moves at a slow jaunt toward the scab gunner squad
slimply walk at them menacingly
force dagger confirmed
that is some weird porn
i swear they'd try to pair duelling swords with anything these days
it’s from the short story they posted
under a pretense of "u need speed"
reading video game stories? 🤢 i'd rather self brain burst
If I wanted to read I'd go to school
also what's up with "needing" speed anyway
some things are about the journey, not the destination
mk6 gunker is the truth
push stab with that finesse bonus is just chefkiss
you load in and 3 smykers in lobby 
Get wrecked son
I gave my smite build a try yesterday on an Auric T4 mission. Needless to say, did not use smite that much. But I only use it to stun enemies and then kill them quickly with my Surge Staff
Smite builds can be fun if I just want to chill after playing a zoomer build
salivating rn
I'll believe it when I kill heretics with it.
i think force dagger is mid tier out of all possible force weapons idk
force halberd...

give my soyker an arc sword
thanks
if we got a 2h force weapon along with a more viable melee psyker build
i’d play psyker a lot more
dual force falchions...
until death is a helluva drug
waiting for obscurus to turn into a 2H FSword
and waiting for zealot to get a 2H CHaxe
god damn I want a fucking 2H Chaxe so bad on zealot its not even funny
(let us steal from maulers)
I swear to god
meh, idk, wat could be worse
If they add force greatsword and it's obscurus
They add force greatsword and it is worse obscurus
I will be sending a packet of shit to the fatshark hq
Don't ask what could be worse, ask what could be better ( a lot )
Better: mace, greatsword, spear, halberd, axe, hammer, claw, gun, whip, chainsword, chainaxe, pike
heck, knuckles, nunchucks, at least they'd be funny
malefic momentum on illisi
its pretty based
😴
Eh
MM is overrated
I don't give a crap about more damage
give me interesting buffs like more melee range or movement speed
BAN
i wouldnt say what he just said
but Illisi with MM is NOT a 2H Fs-word
yeah
not even close
im saying its good enough
yea I did bloodthirsty scriers illisi 1 time as a meme
not even close
and I murdered 5 ragers and 3 maulers by spamming special and L1 trapped in a corner
is that fun?
yea
is it my fun?
no
I am down for a 2H force sword but idk how it would be different
is 410 stam curio real?
Yes
no
I have 12
420 minimum
410 adds 3 stam
does it
It's 400 that is lying
CHAT pls confirm
i just want a second opinion
I guess I can grab photo evidence just for you
400 is the lying one
Yes
is 400 everything lying?
17% toughness 400 real?
uh, idk if 400 says 17% toughness
I don't roll those 
I've only got 420 toughness curios or 390
oh wait
I do have one 400
it says 16%
@upper sun just for u ♥️
Asking anyone, what enemies are included in bomber resistance? just the 2 grenadiers, or also tox burster?
just because the other ones tick over to the max doesnt mean stam does
@mossy oyster whats the minimum rating for stam 3 again
is it 410 or 420?
should be 410
ok i believe you now
unironically I lucked out on my first +3 stam so I never had to research that

(learned it later though)

Meatgrinder hasn't been wrong for any of my testing yet.
the old 75s also showed 3 in meatgrinder 3 on profile and 2.5 in game
i no longer believe you now
@latent mauve DORN whats the minimum rating for a max stamina curio
410
ok i dont believe you
Good. Now go spread your misinformation.
i believe clad

never belive clad
I need a book of grudges.
should i believe dorn
clad only plays marty rashad
which illisi or deimos
when in doubt flakiac
ew wtf
yea
illsi
dont meet your heroes
flak maniac
THOUGH maniac is whatever now after the rager buff you really shouldnt melee them
clothed right now
itll only help with muties
you also ran it
so maybe flak unarmored
knife main
yep because im goro majima
but what if you happen to get meleed by them
im going shirtless
LMFAO
funny from the guy whos used it more hours than me
💅
the virgin scab rager vs the world ender dreg rager
maybe para was dawn priest all along
block force push dodge slide backwards and switch to ranged

i weep
he really that bad?
clad level bad?
WTF
Ive never played with him but just from his takes alone
i wouldnt wanna either
🕴️
yamato and tintin are easily worse than me
tintin is not that bad
true
idk ive seen him die 3 times in heresy
he was learning after you
he refused to use the build i sent him for psyker penance
worse than me?
🥹
who me?
yes
i mean i am now
clad got ass without being carried (i think)
the builds did carry
but he did counter pick every maelstrom with the appropiate build (which why not right)
so you can make fun of him for that
I mean you didn't require people to carry you through it
hey man i planned ahead but i did it fair
so you have a minor leg up on other zealot chat members
"mostly ranged" maelstrom but there's 3 bubble psykers (it is now a safari)
ill take it 
I got storm survivor in 1 morning
me with 5 bubble regen auras on top
Pacifist psyker play? 
IEF, IEF, I-II, I-II, I-II-V-E-G was mine
dorn
shock maul worth using?? also if you dont mind could i see a sparky build
no one else knows what those mean
alternatively, "mostly ranged" maelstrom but one (1) crusher appears and solos all your teammates (they forgot that melee exists)
I only remember because i lined it up to finish with auric exemplar
2 are monstro special waves, 3VEG is a no brainer, and IEF I do not know
That is what I should start calling smite support players. “ohhhhh, so you are a pacifist”
nurg dogs ended my A.S.S. attempt run at 2/5
Bubble, non-EP smite, trauma with 0% damage

no we need more rending
no we need less rending so we can get more crit
zealot should have a rending aura instead of 🥓 of purity
vet instead of movespeed and psyker instead of crit
and they should all stack
BEACON OF PURITY SUCKS ASS
and is neat for funny colors
AND IT SHOULDNT BE IN THE GAME
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T LOVE AN ARSE SUCKER

its in the marty keystone lane
it actively works against its keystone
it fucking sucks
It would be neater if it worked regardless of wounds
@upper sun so you were saying flak unarmored?
if im correct isnt illsi the better horde clear one
loner is worse
So many things are tied to wounds just to make wounds suck for no reason
REND
TEAR
HAHAHA
since no way in hell im meleeing ragers and maniac would only help with muties
and unarmored would apply to more things
loner at least has a theme
the theme of being dog shit
beacon of purity legit does worse with its own keystone
true
loner (aura) is smelly
loner (psyker type) is great
but I like not having corruption
me when fortitude in fellowship a tier 1 Talent node has the loner passive and works better than the aura
IT WORKS UNTIL THE NEXT WOUND

fucked up how "classic" zealot is not all on one side
if you build according to fatshark (middle tree zealot lol)
I've done middle tree zealot
more of a bush really
i just want blitz picks to not point tax you on zealot
also it's weird that the 'damage reduction on lost wound' node is left instead of middle
but the top is all sorts of messed up anyway
all they have to do on zealot is make singular node before and after blitz pick
thats it
real
and make it before vet blitz
like blitz isnt as big of a deal for vets and zealots choice shouldnt be taxed
for ogryn and psyker its fine because imo its a bigger deal
I mean that doesn't really fix the top
Makes it better, but the individual nodes just need work
so if the illsi is the best horde clear force sword whats the best single target dmg one
and r the blessings gonna have to be different
what abt the perks
deimos, uncanny slaughterer/precog/riposte (riposte only if ur going SG melee for crits)
why slaughterer over unstable power?
slaughterer -> kill shit
im saying, i feel like it would be better
more power with slaughterer
unstable -> needs peril
also that
what if i dont wanna kill shit with sluaghterer and i just wanna pull it out and hit a crusher in the head
then have fun bonking it for 3 minutes
executor i guess
is this from a song?
unstable is power is works on first hit
im wondering if i should swap out maniac perk for carapace
just in case i get into a close situation with a mauler
and slow
also very sneaky
thats the real issue
no one expects the stealth mauler
what abt the fire staff?
i have crit/carapace
wondering if i should change to crit/elite
crit flak
most enemies are flak
because everything is flak
this shows enemy armor breakdown
most elites are flak
note that dots target 'center mass'
except dreg ragers which eat nails for breakfast (without any milk)
ok but what if im doing my favorite mission in the game (scab only melee mostly)
wouldnt i want carapce instead of flak
they almost make me want to switch off of laspistol
for what weapon?
carapace on purga is always bad
fire staff
nah
most elites are flak
carapace wouldnt do much for soulblaze
carapace chest is crusher only
you need a melee option or brainburst for crushers
and purga vs crushers is..
also, yes, inferno does nothing to crushers even if you max crusher damage as high as possible
yeah
yeah
crushers take 0.1 soulblaze dmg, so even boosted it is still terrible
Instead you just cheat and take a melee with uncanny
or brainburst them
if you want a purge build i can recommend this random person's build i use it too
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c39d463-1cc1-4b31-a1e6-6656dbc7f336/firepilled-blazemaxxing-pogchamp
preheat oven to 15 degrees of soulblaze
open the oven with uncanny
voila, perfectly cooked crusher
serves a party of 4
siblings, burst his brain
no its bad
no, I just don't use BB 
MODS break his knees
this dude just blazes all game
doesnt even swap to blitz.........
its like you hate fun
EP BB is the most fun and engaging way to play purge
Here is my inferno guide
we're the ones going "but you're having fun INCORRECTLY"
thrust uncanny
It's a beginner's course on inferno

fzvubfdu

does this mean we're both connected to the psyker hivemind now
watch out if either of you peril you both peril
I'm going to quell every morning
The most fun and engaging way to play 🍔 atus is to delete the staff and play something else
lies and deception from a dirty gunker
Voidstrike is indeed a gun
blaze away does that already

🍔 @ 🇺🇸
i don't play gunker
I do a little shotty gunker as a treat 😂
I'm watching you.
Double barrel’s problem is that it’s basically a shittier voidstrike
surge voidstrike but minus the range and actually using 2 ammo for 2 shots
wild innit
That's how it should be for exclusive vs. non-exclusive weapons imo

this means all ogryn weapons should be juiced
Shield unlimited cleave go brrr
but Ogryn has no non-exclusives, so...

everything is exclusive..
Right
but you can't compare to non-exclusives on Ogryn
because they don't exist
Ogryn with itty bitty combat blade when
so rashad should be less funky
I mean, Rashad doesn't have an exclusive counterpart in any of the classes afaik
Force Axe when 
vulkanite pistol when
I want it to be Kruber's executioner sword
i want elf greatsword except with armor damage
but exec is cool too
also bret sword
tasty..
that sounds neat too
force greatsword that builds peril with every swing and vents on block (and has a parry special)
What’s the most fun but good psyker build atm bc rn I’m running the azyr psyker I saw on games latern but I’m not really having fun with it
Is this the build?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ba81400-4c60-4362-9756-f93428dfc021/azyr-psyker-smite-venting-shriek-empowered-psionics-auric-ready
yeah it is not fun
What don't you find fun about it.
That's not a dig.
It's finding what you like so recommendations can be made.
All of the staves are good.

tbh idk I think I just don’t like using a staff 😭
put so much time into grinding staff mastery tho
Staves scale a lot harder and kind of need their full build to really feel great imo
Electrokinetic is the one that needs its full build the most, and that build above is not a staff build but a smite build
based blaze trauma 
smite go burr
Game lantern tends to have bad builds, and how you build really impacts how you play. Not saying that you still won't like staves, but your opinion on them may change with a proper build. Each of them are pretty different.
But in case you don't like staves at all no matter what, gunker (gun psyker) is quite strong.
Gunker is... okay. I disagree that it's strong.
You don't have to used tho. Even after all of the that effort. They'll be there is you decide to pick one up for the odd match.
but I notoriously hate gunker so I'm very biased 
Gunker is different for sure. Less CC and more melee. More opportunity to get squished.
i also hate it (aneurysm every time i see someone magdumping hordes)
That’s something I see lugger ogryns doing
Most people who know how to build gunker wouldn’t be doing that
Had one yesterday take 12 small ammo, 5 large, and then triple dip on the ammo crate at the final event
inferno force staff 
gunker is broken good
Here's some standard staff builds.
Surge / electro / EK #psyker-class message
Purg / inferno #psyker-class message
Trauma / voidBLAST #psyker-class message
VoidSTRIKE is most like a gun out of the staves and has a few different builds. I don't have graphics and whatnot for that yet.
For being broken good I've yet to see a single gunker ever impress me
I'm not a VS enjoyer. I just reference back to what @nocturne dust says on VS things.

Voidstrike has a lot of things you can do with it. If you want something like a gun, it would be closest to what you want. That's not to say it is a gun though, it's still a staff and plays like a staff.
ye
i still just look at it like Meatier Bolt Staff
psyker gun with most dps,
and melee with most dps
personally elite or unyielding just for the QOL
QOL=quality of life
TY
that or reload speed
reload speed on a staff?
Can anyone recommend perks/blessings for DB?
this is a fun staff build guaranteed https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9d630810-c1f7-4004-8a3a-755de6c958bd
voidstrike works like plasma, the build is extremely mobile and you can swap to assail or stabbing and still perform well

Oh I worked out the soulblaze damage to direct damage ratio thing. Sweeping wide over many targets in range applies the same dot per target as keeping mouse still, but does a lot less direct damage. So if you sweep a lot you will do a lot more dot dmg, but much less direct damage.
but I sweep 
Also, weapon swapping is no longer required between activations to generate peril.
They changed the Deimos?
mk15 evis
that’s literally just the mk15 evis
it’s copied exactly lol
Not really. On the surface maybe
It doesn't do my brain the way exec do.
the mk15 evis’ move set is copied from the executioners sword
The light attacks yes. The heavy has a completely different vibe and usecase. Push attack isn't useless.
the mk15 PA is useless lol
That's how it was for all force swords. They fixed the bug where you had to swap.
Oh for sure, they're far from identical in gamefeel though.
It's a fast attack that stuns ragers how exactly is that useless
because you can just dodge backwards and heavy
it does fuck all for damage
it can’t even consistently kill dogs
Y'all are pretty knowledgeable
yarp
Psyker bros need some help
im trying to level my psyker rn, and this is my first character. Im wondering, does assail apply soulfire?
no

For now, I'll have to stop playing pysker. Between veteran zealot, what should I try?
Fuck
zealot
Honestly I am marvelled by the damage veterans can have against bosses
What is that gun?
the only sources of soulblaze are perilous combustion, purg staff, and the blazing spirit blessing
lol neigh any vet gun can do that
says the zealot main
ok and

Assail is still really good, twin!
vet is boring
So zealot?
veteran is also fun
yea
vet is boring don’t listen to this foul demon
if you want to use ranged more - vet
if you want to turn your brain off and melee more - zealot
Zealot is boring don’t listen to this foul witch
Exe stance vet is fun. Voc is not.
people wont tell you cause they're biased
but thats basically how you pick and choose
The fixed the Illisi, with the Deimos you still need to weapon swap.
You should just play more psyker 
get this man a true
Zealout is fun until you realize every build is the same but with different keystones.
Veteran is fun, period
I want to but I can't get too far ahead of my friends

You sure? I'll have to test that now
@velvet gate go play zealout, it'll teach you to be neck deep in elites while you're meleeing without getting mulched.
Which seems to be a core skill most psykers lack.
I mean
Not saying you do, ofc, I'm just stating it as a fact.
that skill won't transfer
Oh it definitely will.

because zealot gets tons of things psyker doesn't 
You would be dead wrong on that.
if u suck yea
True. I don't understand how melee heavy spam works against elites
Veteran is more for it you’re looking for an even split between melee and ranged
I get railed so fast
Get this gal a true.
Tested before I replied. Illisi is back to working how it used to, Deimos remains the same as its always been.
I've gone down the most trying to use that stupid dueling sword 😭
Fatshark lying again
dodging, spacing
Smh my head
That’s probably your issue
In fact, I would wager that melee psyker is capable of more damage than zealout is.
It’s not great at horde clear
You tend to want to focus more horde clear melees with Zealot and Vet
Ogryn: melee tank/magdump
Psyker: ranged class
Zealot: agile melee class
Veteran: melee & ranged hybrid
sorry pookie but no
Eeeeeeeeeehhghhghhhhhhhhhgghhfhfhfhf
no
Like, yeah, zealout gets fotf, but psyker also gets an insane amount of finesse damage between scriers and DD.
^ honestly how I would explain the classes
duelist is literally a huge increase in dmg just for playing normally in melee
Plus warp rider and one with the warp making you a monster.
That's what I would think with precog and riposte but I just don't got the schmooves
Neither of which have 100% uptime
Nah
psyker has nothing like that
And after all if I'm dodging at the end of the day, why not electro staff?
found out in vet chat earlier that vet can have a higher, unconditional finesse than zealot with duelist lol
even remotely thinking psyker might be stronger than zealot in melee when zealot literally has duelist
"Fixed an issue where some of the weapons with a Special activate action failed to correctly refresh their activation if the Special action was performed again while in the active duration of a previous Special activation." If that's the patchnote you mean, I don't see the lie.
is funny
vet moment
dont forget vet has free rending !!!
Duellist goes higher
