What is this purposeful misinformation
Ok, but like, psyker typically has 100% uptime with 15 stacks of DD if they're worth their salt, and most psykers edge peril with warp rider and one with the warp.
just shootem with ur gun
spite :3
also it’s not purposeful
and I still think chastise + duelist + precog is smoking that out of the water
I was joking, but it is problematic how vague that note is.
on zealot
Ah so you admit it’s misinformation 
Well, yeah, your burst will definitely be higher, but your sustainability of a higher-than-average damage potential is higher on psyker.
Unless you factor in martyrdom, ofc.
We can agree to disagree then.
True, it will only makes sense to people who already know the things. "Some" is doing a lot of work for them.
ill put it like this
as i understand it, vet reaches 55% headshot increase, not counting crits
zealot can reach technically higher with duelist on headshot crits, but it also is conditional, for a dodge, requires a crit and a headshot
technically not unconditional
I don't agree that meleeker can outdamage zealot
I dont see a same skill level zealot and a same skill level psyker clearing the same in melee
Jesus what did I spark?
I think zealot takes that everytime
Meow is a spiteful woman that will do anything to get veteran nerfed even though she knows damn well when Zealot gets reworked it’s going to be as braindead
shhhut up
:3
zealot is already brain dead
fake news
I'm just saying I find IJ to typically be at 9-12 stacks when it pops and it thins out as the horde diminishes, but DD just says "here, king, have some insane buffs for 10s and you barely have to do anything to maintain them."
fair enough but I dont think thats making meleeker do more than zealot existing with any of their 3 keystones
True
Because if you don't take the 10s node, you are insane.
Zealot rework: nothing has changed, continue yelling and running at enemies
🗣️ 🔥
We like it that way.
no we dont please make our talents better
and the tree
just do something with it
idc
I mean it would be nice
We just need our must-haves to not be such a fucking point sink and for bad talents to be good.
basically
Looking DIRECTLY at second wind when I mention that first issue.
Fatshark about to nerf the must-haves into the ground:
pathing costs are important and all, but it's going too far when every zealot is taking the exact same horizontal lines
That should be like how vet forces you to take one of those passives.
I hate to argue about "which class is braindead" because realistically they are all piss fucking easy to learn in not even a day but I always felt psyker was the skill check simply because you can nuke yourself, however fat shark thought it be funny to completely null that mechanic with a talent
and even then psyker is pretty easy to manage with practice
its just mastering and being optimal with every single class is different
That's the exact problem we are referring to. Every build paths tknives > benediction > fotf > pick your keystone.
2 talents
SG and crystalline will
me when I dont finish reading the entire sentence
lmao
huh
You said "a" talent. Not two talents.
im complaining they made psyker less hard with crystalline will
they literally removed the mechanic
CW needs to be evaporated.
shit node anyways
no no, just change it to be ogryn bomb on explosion
make it deal absurd damage
No!
I want it fucking gone!
These psykers are so terrible at peril management it makes me sick!
change the ogryn bomb to give increased cleave/finesse/rending based on the amount of armored enemies in the aoe
I dont want to talk about crystalline will, just look up crystalline will with my user if you want to see me have a jonker moment over it
someone mentioned it doesn't set your health up to the wound if you were lower
so potentially worse than getting downed??? lmao
more damage with the less max wounds you have
so if you have standard 2 wounds, you can nuke urself to deal a ton of damage
I already explained why its so dog ass in soyker chat
It's really simple.
If: peril above 90
Then: don't use warp powers
But they can't figure it out!
CW needs to begone!
Veteran hits 30% weakspot for ranged, 30%W+25%T for melee, but depending on build it may just be 30%W as well
Zealot duellist is conditional but hits for 50%W + 50%C for both melee & ranged, so whenever it is up it’s hitting “almost as hard” if not harder for melee, and definitely hitting harder for ranged
This is based
do people use CW much?
I hate how martyrdom is so much tax to be functional
spoken like a fake psyker
what’s the T
Both of the wound hp talents need to be in the same tree imo.
True psykers hit that hundo for the max damage
Bleed for the emperor and restoring faith, I mean.
Total finesse (both weakspot & crit are benefitted)
ah ok
Oh for sure
The point tax is crazy
triple damage mode
Also we need another two talents to fix the tree to begin with.
I think martyrdom being based off of %health missing would be cooler tho
I feel like the real skill check is taking under 50 Damage
If you're running any over toughness shit
Left side doesn't have two nodes where there should be at the top and the node before duellist/until death is a standard passive.
should be 0
me when I have 0 damage an entire civi as soyker
then I eat a pancake meant for someone else and press tab to see 209
martyrdom racism
Counterargument, I got a crusher overhead dragged onto me by an ogryn because I couldn't see the crusher through him.
Skissue...
should've dodged your ogryn
The 17 dreg ragers in Warren 6-19 finale:
but then wounds have no use 😭
This is silly.
Wounds definitely need a use.
they can serve the grand purpose of baiting new players
@nocturne dust watching your vod again, you sweep a little, but not as much or as well as you could. So I think that explains most of the difference.
Come up with a rework for martyrs purpose first.
(It's so bad pls fatshark give martyrdom decent cdr)
Make it scale on toughness damage then it’ll be ok
If you say so
I had an alternative to that and I can't remember what it was.
I think it was cdr boost based off of missing hp, doubled for corrupted hp.
Not sure if that's the proper terminology, I'm meaning like how IOD is a % faster increase.
no no, make it fight against corruption so beacon of purity also has more use 
Like 1% faster per 1% missing hp, 2% for every 1% corruption hp.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that.
2% per 1% missing hp, 1% per 1% corrupted hp

Oh I see.
That actually makes more sense, tbh.
Makes going down worse and motivates the player to avoid corruption.
It also rewards not going down, lol
Also, move until death to the middle tree.
which one is that
Not sure why it's in the "preacher" portion of the tree when it's clearly a martyr skill.
If die, no die.
Then holy rev is the heal up to 25% hp based on melee damage after until death pops.
Both of those talents should be middle tree.
Can we also move the damage reduction on wound loss to middle
The game needs less cdr, not more
I already said that.
Bleed for the emperor and restoring faith both need to be middle tree. (restoring faith already is)
You clearly don't know how awful martyrs purpose is.
Yes I do, its fucking dogshit
And zealot doesn't need more cdr to stack with crit cdr
To explain what I mean by better, you need your crosshair to pass over every target in range 3 times per second, you are generally sweeping once in a single direction across the enemies.
IOD is a great example of good cdr.
You do realize that all its currently doing is forcing players that want a good cdr to spend more points on getting it, right?
Having more cdr options means less point taxes because you don't have to path to grab the ones that are currently functional.
Also, punishment is a dogshit talent, so you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot to grab IOD.
Good cdr is a major part of what trivializes the game rn
Your previous argument was stacking cdr, now it's "trivializing the game"? Make up your mind.
it doesn't really make sense to just have a useless node that doesn't even have a reason to be pathed through
^
My point exactly.
I also have reservations against cdr, in case you were wondering.
Psykinetics Aura and tactical sense or whatever it is both need to be nerfed.
if they didn't want it to be functional, why is it even there? It doesn't even serve as a point tax, the 2 wounds as the alternate path to martyrdom is fucking mandatory
And I also believe IOD is a bit too overtuned.
But as it currently stands, martyrs purpose is a dead node.
either buff the node or just delete it
Pious cutthroat is also awful because you're trusting the game to register a backstab.
Imo, pious cutthroat should be a small % boost based on elite kills that stacks on itself.
Like 10% faster regeneration per elite kill, stacking up to like 10 times.
So once you stack up 10 kills, your cooldown is 100% faster.
Just delete it
My idea about tactical awareness (veteran CDR) is
Change it to be -15% of ability’s total CD, which would be -4.75s for exe/VoC and -6.75s for infil
Also limit the CDR to only be able to activate up to 2 times between ability uses
Excellent argument for it! Better than "cdr bad".
I dont play enough psyker or vet to suggest nerfs to their cdr talents, I just know zealout only has one that can be considered functional, and thats IOD.
This would be up to -8.5s for VoC & exe, and up to -13.5s for infil
I think it could be tuned down to like 175% regeneration boost.
But also, I wasn't a tester, so I don't exactly know how 175% would feel.
tbh psykinetic's aura probably needs a nerf too
but i enjoy it too much
Yeah, I said that.
It's much too strong as it currently is.
Especially with how good shriek is at killing literally everything.
the fact that's op even just for yourself
but then it applies to your whole team
wild
I think a similar activation cap to my proposal for Tac awareness could work
zealot needs CDR, it’s obviously built with each keystone having access to CDR in mind, but martyrs purpose fucking sucks so ur basically forced to run either crit CDR or backstab cdr which is really not that good
See I didn't even know it applied for allies. That's how much I dont play psyker.
zealot doesn't literally need cdr, you can actually play without it
I kinda hope all CDR talents are switched over to the '% cooldown speed for n seconds' that they did to the zealot on crit one.
obv it's much fucking stronger if you have it
Willfully wrong moment.
yeah the way it works is, if psyker with PA gets an elite/special kill, everyone gets the cooldown reduction
it can work without it, but the abilities were clearly made with CDR in mind, and the tree was built with it in mind
The tree itself isn't even built that well if you look at passives.
For stuff with 2 charges like zealot, would the cap reset on use, or on 1 charge filling up?
The 3 paths are preacher, martyr, and death cult assassin, left to right.
So why is until death in the preacher side?
Why is duellist in the preacher side?
because fatshark is mean and hates us
Why are fotf and chorus not swapped?
chastise being a 30 second cooldown, crit + damage boost for only one attack (and attack speed) is really not that good if you stick with the raw 30 second cooldown without any CDR
There's a lot wrong with it, design wise.
Not all of the things should be on the "dedicated" side, it's encouraged to play around the tree, and i like that
why is viscious offering on preacher side!
it should be a marty talent
I wouldn’t go into activation cap for zealot abilities
But im happy with the new psker tree, the old one was far too restrictive
Yes, that's the point we are getting at, mainly.
but psykinetic aura affects zealot too
it's global
I, personally, have a gripe with the trees layout because it isn't thematic to the path its in.
Yes but it mostly is relevant for EK staff + venting shriek spam
Like vets is at least believable with ranged focus being on your left side and whatnot.
so it would only cap on yourself but not on allies?
But zealout's tree looks like it has been jumbled up by a toddler.
but when does the cap reset?
wonder where he is..
Maybe have it be able to activate up to 3 times between ability uses
on psyker ability use?
Just nerf the percentage, don't cap the skill, smh
Use ability once, can proc CDR up to let’s say 3 times, then it stops working until u use ability again
Let’s reduce it from 5% to 2% 
That's like weirdly punishing the rest of the team if the psyker is using a less spammy ability though, like bubble
pretty jank solution imo
With the amount of shit that sets it off in high difficulties, that still isn't bad.
honestly the simplest way to effectively limit the effectiveness is just do what zealot crit cdr did
just make it a ability regen buff
I’ll be honest
I don’t think I’ve cared if a psyker has PA on my team for a very long time
same, i usually just end up killing everything anyway 
it's pretty noticeable if the psyker doesn't suck and someone else has voice of command
Eh, idk
A decent veteran usually snipes specialists faster than psyker does
And Tac awareness is much higher reduction
you can't be telling me that your psyker is getting like no elite/special kills
They could, but a couple procs of -1.5s is
Not as impactful as 3 specialist kills of -18s
It’d be like -0.6s/proc
making it 2-3% would probably be fine actually
Wait veterans have guns? I assumed they only had swords and only attack hordes as some sort of creul joke
psyker should have a death star style, planet destroying laser beam
I want cdr kneecapped so abilities can be stronger and have better cooldowns baseline
thatll cleave bosses
Swords are boring 
how would you make chastise stronger
make it multiple attacks?
I do not care for the fun of people who think it is fun for like, old 3 patches ago invocation to get abilities back in 2 swings
increasing damage wouldn’t be useful
Make it knock stuff over like a real charge
Give it more extension nodes, fire explosion, ranged rending but lose melee rending
chastise should suppress the enemy you charge at
i think cdr is definitely too strong rn, but i also think the core idea of your cooldown being affected by gameplay to be fun
i think fof is balanced enough with the cooldown reduction nerf
its still good and useful, and comes back quickly
just not busted
Except it’s also a nightmare to balance around especially when your cdr is scaling with density
Give it a subnode that buffs ur melee crit chance by like 10% while duration active
evis and chainswords basically need chastise to function unfortunately
More cdr should be like invoc but even then it needs a numbers nerf
no
zealot does not need more crit chance

yes 100% crit change all the time
i could see this for like, finesse damage, but no crit chance
Ok instead of +10% crit chance, make it buff ur melee attacks’ stagger by X%
no
Idk
Doesn’t need to be very high
ok how about instead of crit change
i think bandit’s ideas r good
Chaxe could face out a pack of maulers
I think smth like 30~50%
additional ability cooldown
If it isn’t very high it’s garbage
250% is silly

Nah grievous wounds is actually nice
I would say that the 2x fotf charge node is good, but make another that makes fotf do overflow overtoughness, but you can't take both.
If it doesn’t hit any breakpoints it’s garbage
Or you can and just eat the point tax.
Yea 50% changes stagger breakpoints

I want blitz to get extension nodes as well
Yes!
All of the non psyker ones
I think this might give me some stagger breakpoints against ragers
That’s all it’ll need tbh
Make stunstorm have stun all enemies within it’s line of sight (flashbang even for gunners that are farther away)or give it electrocution
Imagine a sunstorm node that makes the grenade go off for another 3s or something.
So you can pick up more allies or something at the cost of incoming enemy density becoming greater.
It does actually activate electrocution for high voltage to work
I swear my evis fails to stagger a lot more when rampage is gone, and that's like 30%.
So basically it would make it more consistent when i don't have rampage yet
it already does electroction
🐌
meow!
And make fatshark fin soup
The only issue I'd see with the LOS thing is that currently LOS issues already exist with ogryn box submunitions falling through the floor and doing literally nothing...
I know nothing about game design but I feel like it could be very easily fixed.
Fart shark just chooses not to.
Whether maliciously or not, I couldn't tell.
Maybe it's like their issues recreating sound overwrite issues.
Like they don't play difficulties high enough to notice when a trapper spawn sound doesn't play.
Lmao, definitely can't play that way. Would make me sick.
the headaches are worth it for the dps
nausea is a small price to pay
It helps if you close your eyes. But fair enough, was mostly interested to find something to explain the very different ratios. Sweeping doesn't work well with penetrating flame, and reduces your direct dmg a lot anyway, so it prob wouldn't benefit you as much anyway.
Chainaxe on Psyker, what are BiS blessings?
bro leveling takes forever goddamn
I just want people to be encouraged to have Brain On with ult usage just slightly more instead of just cumblasting them whenever its time for the CDR Feed to arrive
Headtaker Slaughterer
The 12 can use Thrust as well
Got it
Thinking of using Chaxe12 with Purg staff
Yes
Its probably has more boss dps than ds4 but it's alot harder to use
Heavy rev takes so long you can't really use vs cspawn except vs his grab
And non rev damage vs bosses is worse than ds4
age ol pastime of carrying through maels lol
what would you say is best melee for psyker?
wtf lol
Smth defensive and can deal with getting swarmed
extremely build dependent
A good psyker normally avoids getting in melee
but prob dueling sword mk 4, knife mk6 or a force sword
well. im level 20
raffs in stryker
so my staff is ass
at that level use whatever the fuck you want
experiment and have fun
What staff you using
try taking illisi force sword
Ah yea, electrostaff isn't good managing hordes
since the EK staff isn't great for big hordes
illisi is good at dealing with hordeds
so it'll shore up the weakness of the staff
does the electric staff have 4 extra unusable mastery points?
yes
What are the go to purgatus perks/blessings? I somehow got Blaze Away 4 from rng already
Blaze Away + Warp Nexus
Ty~
You don't need rng anymore, they removed the locks
You need rng to get a purgatus with 60 warp res.
Yeah, I'm aware, I just haven't leveled my staff yet
So I couldnt put it on normally, but I got a smidge lucky
Save the Grey staves when gambling for dump stat
Consecrate all of them to green
Sacrifice
?????
Congrats you're lvl 9-14 mastery
Y-yeah, I just haven't done that yet XD
I don’t understand how anyone can use the inferno staff right now. Anytime you charge an attack it plays the flamer sound
Here is the standard surge / electro build. #psyker-class message
IDK if you already know, but assail (right side blitz) is the general rec for leveling. If you've been using and are tried of it (or just don't like it lol) then of course don't use it.
What are your thoughts on Purg Scryer
flame is so pretty nobody notices
anyone wanna like... help a fellow psyker in game? Just need someone whose not a shitter to play heresy with... im 22 and trying sooo hard to get to 30.
shouldn't have trouble finding someone in one of the lfg channels, but also i wouldn't sweat it too much- most people you find in-game (unless it's auric or maelstrom) will probably be leveling just like you
(just saying there's plenty of people playing in case you can't find someone)
I was whelmed by it. I haven't done a lot with it tho. Different way to play at the very least.
You still playing?
ye
I can do a mission or 2.
kk
Being more powerful than its ever been is a plus tho
i used to use nothing but electro staff, but ngl it got really boring after a while even through it was pretty good. especially running it together with smite and venting shriek was pretty mindnumbing
purgatus is amazing
soulblazes everything, applies brittleness to everything, rends carapace, triggers brain rupture on top of it all
i stopped using venting shriek on most builds but purgatus still makes me wanna do it, just to stack even more soulblaze
the only downside is just that it doesn't quite stagger like electrokinetic does
which shouldn't really be an issue if you play around your team so you can build those stacks
If you spam left click, it'll stagger
yeah it honestly has better cc than EK lol
yeah left click works like the flamer in that regard
But for the purg staff, it'll actually increase your dps and survivability
Take a look at this
Played two matches to level my Psyker, got a Recon Las both times
Beloved pls
I don't want to play Gunker
flame gang
Loving Gunker, although I’ve been knocked a but due to some issues with my dodging
Is there a hard limit to the number of dodges?
i like how it only says "warp-damage"
depends on your weapon
Every weapon has a dodge limit, you can see yours by inspecting the weapon
makes me want to invite 3 psyker bros so we can all blaze together
Combat knife for example has 5
4 level 20 psykers
I probably should refund my dodge key from my jump key
If you dodge 5 times without a break the rest of your dodges will be really slow and not as far
Quick scenario question that happened today: I fell off the a pipe bridge while clearing a horde that was chasing my team, and I was knocked down instantly by a Rager, and my team was already far away. Should I have ignored the horde to keep up with my team, or stayed to fight it?
woe on whoever joins their group just to have their screen filled with flames of all possible colors
If possible, keep up. But if doing so puts you in more danger, then stay and fight
But there are so many variables
It's not always yes or no
I think I need to work on staying with my group, but with pubs they don’t often stay behind to support a stray member
Although I am getting better in other ways
That is true. Just always remember, if saving a teammates kills you before you are able to save them, then it's 2 downed teammates.
Play safe and smart
That's good, always look to improve
I have 2k hours in the game and I still find ways to improve
aiding your team to begin with was your only mistake there 🙃 gotta think of yourself first
It's a learning game, something new everyday
I’m learning movement starts and how to run when needed
tbh i may be becoming more jaded the more maelstroms and aurics i play with complete randoms, especially playing a frail psyker
Dueling sword is crazy busted rn
now i definitely just try to save myself always, rather than risk my precious toughness
could always justify by saying that you aren't useful to your team while dead or downed though...
Thanks for all the advice and help, this server is great
you'll find that most small/light weapons have improved mobility on them
Happy to help, glad to hear that
but the ds is definitely something
i love when i see someone else stay behind, so i stay with them to cover them but then i am the one that unexpectedly gets yoinked by a trapper (and then 10s later we all die)
many such cases
i am too good hearted
i will dive for a res if i feel like i have even a 30% chance to pull it off
me too
All Ogryn-hearted
but every time i have one of these Incidents™ i say "no i wil not do that anymore" for about a day and then i am back to trying to save people
there are some situations where you have to accept your teammate is dead
also true
i am not good at accepting those situations
i too enjoy making a heroic run back through fire, horde, and some more fire on top
also covered by 3 snipers currently residing in narnia
8 snipers, 3 bulwarks, 2 bombers, and several ragers to top it all off
ill save them
and maybe a trapper behind all that too
but thats a surprise for later
"Oh there was a daemonhost there"
says zealot, shroudfields in and actually gets that player back up
but then they both get stuck on the 3 bulwarks and fire bombs
it's comedy gold when that player then dies right away in all the chaos
maybe with the rescuer on the side
meanwhile the rest of your group is dying because you're all scattered
and then it feels like it was your own fault because you died and made the guy run back
The trick is to aggro them and invis afterwards
(but that's just my pov playing psyker)
That way you get them moving towards the rest of the team
horde herding
i used to run telekine dome in every build to protect my team...
now it's just telekine shield to shield myself from snipers
Also tbh if theres anything that i dislike its when im clearing a certain area on my own and people join to help me
or put it behind me so the dog or poxburster doesnt get me
unrelated note i got kicked for the first time ever
probably because i was using recon lasgun lol
not even a word spoken, just poof i was gone
should've put a silencer on it 😂
Guaranteed the other 3 were premades
Because ive never had a kick go through with even 1 random
fr
i had a random afk literally half the game
rescued him like 5 times i wanted to kick him cus he was... afk
randoms kept vouching for him 😭
farmed penance off of him at least
Prob because the vote accept keybind is scuffed
Wait i bound some screencap thing to f12 a couple days ago
So i prob cant vote any more
as if afking the entire second half of the match wasnt rude 😭
...
we lost
the afk guy didnt even say anything
bro went to sleep or something it was slightly annoying
Playing with 1 other person is kinda funny if one of the randoms leaves
Kick only required 2 votes lmao
convert the lobby to true duo
But i rarely kick
"i do not like the sounds their weapon makes, remove them from my game"
yeah i only kick if someone is hard afk or griefing
back when demonhosts killed 2 ppl
🤐
Last few times i did it was when i did hm twins for a fren
Needed to unlock it the proper way first
But for some reason theres a bunch of dumbasses that run the normal version of that mission
sometimes i like to revv my chainaxe the whole game 🙂
the "worst" reaction i've ever gotten was people running in front of me and meleeing me
(the chainaxe revv up can be pretty obnoxious lmao)
I noticed that, they only kill one Operative now?
someone was unironically queueing it, and i felt bad for just leaving them alone so i did it with them
yeah
they only kill the person that woke them now
we should queue together
Whoa, not in front of the kids pls
i revv my axe you pew your gun
eu i guess
Ah so basically a non-threat now
but you can play with other regions right
yeah you can play with other regions
but combat will feel a bit iffy with dodges
and any projectiles
this is what u will see
ok sure, have a nice sleep then
that's just a regular hi-intensity gunner gauntlet
im the hi int gunner gauntlet
or maybe a rave
im that too
hey uhhh, do i have to do something to get an illisi blaze force?
i only find Deimos
illisi is a different mark of force sword, do you know how to change weapon marks?
Marks gets unlocked as you progress the mastery tree
can i reset masteries in order to max out the better ones?
No
yo can a psyker fix my throat this shit burns and is closed up
say "aah"
won’t that disintegrate my throat
you know what
it’s better than burning whenever i swallow
damn so i fucked myself my not picking my masteries correct? that sucks
well you just need to get more levels in the mastery
and if you don't wanna play more for them, just sacrifice some green weapons at hadron
(of the same type)
At max level your able to get every blessing
not a psychic ailment i'm afraid
can you just kill me then
i do not recommend this course of action
besides, you have an excellent chance of survival
it hurts when i breathe
nearly 30%

Can someone please recommend a setup for lvl 16 that can melt bosses?
"melt bosses" and "psyker" do not really go together
best bet is either guns or stabbing them in the face with a dueling sword or knife repeatedly
inferno staff can do some work too
☹️
am i wrong?
which i did mention
neither of which will do better than zealot/vet with the same setup unless you specifically precook your sg
but how exactly are you going to scry that a boss will appear
Just run really far ahead of the team and force them to spawn 
as a psyker you should be an adept at divination and precognition so that should be nothing
apolgise for short answers, I was in mission. But if you dont believe me in that psyker cant do boss damagea outside of DS I will explain
unfortunately (or fortunately) i am not a psyker irl
😭
yeah man you totally don't need this duelling sword of recon lasgun garbo to melt bosses as psyker
presents you the combat blade and an infantry autogun instead
you just broke the dueling sword in half and put a different magazine in
what is this

Anyone know if [Kinetic Pressence]'s damage aura effects smite's damage?
Probably yes
Since smite is affected normally by malefic and rider and whatever not
You don't need any of those to reach rager BP with creeping and EP though
i just wish i could melt a boss just using my own psychic powers and not some muggle-made weaponry
ever tried solo brain rupturing a boss in a full group? takes a while...
Bad news im in psych, the aura seems to have zero effect
fucked up how bosses are resistant to having their brain explode
Good news everyone, ranged damage effects smite. Just not the aura
are you sure you were zapping elites
i hope you aren't coming up with a build that just uses smite to kill
Good point, elites. Gonna redo test
i do indeed for fun and giggles, want a smite kill build. So far i'm dominating lobbies w/ 800 kills using just a soulfire build soley spamming smite
the changes they made to the talent tree are evil and i love them
assail might have even better k/d/a potential
I am having issues levelling because whenever a boss appears my team evaporates
so I need to kill it fast before they fucking die
Retested, aura works against elites
Psyker is the wrong class for that
had no issue with that on ogryn, I could tank forever while also killing it
☹️
Psyker has a hard time doing boss damage. Your best options are the Inferno staff + dueling sword and Vraks autogun, but neither is that great of an option.
Huh
Vraks autogun is the perfect option 
oops we did it again
I don't like gunker but gunker is psyker's best option for boss damage.
Also sucks at everything else compared to staffker tho, lol.
Nou
no u
I'll try the autogun with unyielding damage thanks
😔
🥳
Another fallen to heresy, smh my head
"psyker sucks, so just use a gun"
I didn't say that though 
It's ok boss damage staff soon
Next year 
i don't understand your fascination with grenades, clumsy things
they already gave them a bunch of heretical muggle weapons
we just needed more force weapons
trauma staff is literally just a grenade staff
or maybe new versions of current ones that do different stuff idk
Beam staff

Basically
Force 2h 
of the same thing
Waiting for 2h forcesword since launch 
incin-eray-shion
at this point i'd even take a recolor that simply does a different force attack lmao

we're far from the stage where we can fantasize about completely new weapons
but sure
force axes would be nice too
idc i need twohanders
Force throwing axe
returning force throwing axe

you know how psyker has gimped stats for some reason and just weak compared to other classes
there is a simple solution to that
Make smite basekit
psykers in w40k use force barriers
how come our weak-ass psykers can only do it while holding block
it should be a passive\
force sword and force barrier when
funny that you put it that way
Because outside of the missions we run theyre literally not allowed to use the warp
force sword and board
Obv our psyker sucks at utilizing the warp when they barely get to use it
for psykers force swords and such are just tools to focus their psychic powers
if our force swords suck that can only mean one thing
psykers are weak
i mean c'mon
can't summon a force barrier
And tbf the german accent personality would just get killed because they symphasize with xenos lol
or even do something basic like seeing through walls and stuff
no wonder they resort to using random janky weapons they can find
well
as a side note i could add- the in-game psyker abilities are named after their w40k counterparts
except
scrier's gaze lets the psykers see things far away, like places or people (as the name suggests)
meanwhile in the game it's a dps cooldown?
i assume it is meant to be scrying enemy weakpoints
it's like they realized they can't let psyker do stuff like that, since vet has that skill already lmao
I would like to send enemies flying, that would be fun
telekenisis
a black hole i can pul lthe mob into in the air
psykers are supposed to have lots of disciplines anyway
what about the "cast haste on yourself and rip heretics to shreds with force swords" discipline
can we get that
quell peril now
but anyway my point was that darktide psykers a bunch of inexperienced noobs with not a lot of psychic power
I have lost maybe 15 matches now
I don't think I've lost 5 when playing ogryn while levelling
as opposed to darktide vets eating bowls of nails for breakfast (without any milk)
maybe that goes to show how strong a w40k psyker can be
i mean one of them is literally the emperor
Psyker is a glass cannon, and if you don't do the cannon part you get to feel the glass part.
🤷♂️ The pub giveth, and the pub taketh
I am starting to believe there is an anti-psyker conspiracy
save them with your shield
force them to live instead
it doesn't help, they still die
There's no saving stupid
well make sure you use the one on the left and not dome
I am using the dome with toughness regeneration
still nice but you're just making baddies hold point for half a minute
I know, but it gives toughness regen
also flamers
the thing is they don't die to ranged
Wall only helps in chokes where specials will get gibbed anyway
they die to poxwalkers
and doesn't even protect ogryns
i mean
and no toughness regen or tdr
he did say they're dying to poxbursters
poxWALKERS 
walkers 
oh
well, I mean like regular melee guys
yeah i guess there's no saving them then
not even berserkers
Dome is better against walkers but honestly your best bet might be taking shriek and trying to clear horde with max damage
Shriek is shriek anyway
sure dome is better against trash
but if poxwalkers are an issue
you just need a grenade and not magical barriers lmao
Shriek is a grenade
Staggers and kills trash on screen
with a soulblaze build it goes bbbbbrrrrrr
Vet nonsense, smh my head
vets have already brainwashed all of you into using guns anyway
may as well use grenades at this point
also hunting grounds, so another point for the rectangle shield
I'm a staffker, thank you very much
Guns are stupid
Embrace space magic
It really isn't
Find any corner
only out of necessity
Hounds solved
what if bad guy is all the way over there but i am over here (and i want them dead)
sword doesn't reach that far unfortunately
but can dome let you snap snap snap the brainblast???
yeah i thought so
if your teammates die to poxwalkers you can't expect them to evade a wave of dogs
can brainburst let me snap snap snap?
yeah I thought so
Only reason to ever run shield is to pop a blue stim and double shield wall and explode a monstrosity i think
with the rectangle you can at least hide behind it yourself and shoot the dogs of your mates
no but you can expect them to be meatshields

a strategy i still utilize on auric damnation
Hounds aren't deadly
You can do that without a wall

Just kill a few and the rest die off naturally
runs out of steam too quickly 😔
say that to my countless pubs lost to dogs
5 seconds...
skill issue
Try out venting shriek
6 flame stacks on all dogs = grilled dog meat
try out hi-intensity hunting grounds with a vent purge 😂
I literally do not lose to hound waves. If anything it makes me likelier to win 
PC go bbbbbrrrrrrrr
and then see your bozo teammates run off by themselves right away
Just let them run off, you sit in a corner and survive
nope
No
we can't apply the same logic here
No friends gang 
I pub 99% of the time

lmao, it's bad logic tho
You don't need to rely on others to deal with hound waves
Melee only vs dog waves isnt as hard as it seems
using my own mechanics is relying on others? talk about funky logic
Even ignoring how psyker just loves masses of elites/specialists, you can just spam push and stab them to death with a corner to your back
bro just wants to shriek and refuses to use other abilities
bro doesn't know melee works 💀
i just like my shield ok
A lot of people don’t push and they die in hunting grounds
Really though with shield usually you can block off an entire path
You can.
I like running it sometimes on specials mutants dogs bursters mode
It's not helpful, but you can.
I assume shield = wall?
wall yes
You hold a 90 degree wall crack and camp there like that's it
Maybe dodge the occasional dog that slips pass
apparently venting shriek is the only ability worth using in this game
something i learned today
and scriers gaze
Dont dodge dogs pls
I never said that lmao
i've been playing all wrong
shield just sucks
Do everyone a favor and just push them
should i get a duelling sword as well?
das rite
maybe i should consider it
You just picking the worst ability that really doesn't help
so i can melee those doggos
Last I recall the other 3 classes don't have shriek
vet has voc which is a shriek
think abt it
Oggy has taunt which is also a shriek
you do realize you are saying that about the shield while also using the shriek yourself
More like a fard
Ye shall fall
"Hey, so this ability, wall, it sucks"
"ShRiEk iS oNlY wOrThY aBiLiTy"
i mean venting shriek is a pretty nice skill when you're still learning the game and tend to go to 100% pretty often
i've been there so i get it
Wall is only worth it on EP BR or gunkers 

But you used shriek though, so it doesn't count
kd carries once again
i like the psyker channel
Because this is where good players reside
can't get fun weird interactions when in veteran
And those who think they are good come to get dunked on
you can tell who's been touched by the warp and who hasn't
Because vet chat is ass lmao
The better builds dont even use keystones
Yet people still vouch for the 5% movement speed boost being good
damn psyker chat and vet chat have a beef...
Guys, DAE powersword plasma is meta? Please advice
is it over the guns??
True vet meta is shovel and revolver with only one round, for yourself


It's actually kinda crazy that you can just press block and dodge and the daemonhost can't do shit
yeah but realistically neither are you
true, but it's better than dying. I was kiting and blocking for over a minute
Dancing with the Daemon~
me while my team dies
well, it was an isolated dh, so they just killed it eventually
ok i think i officially hate zealot
and knife
and stealth
especially stealth knife zealot
they didn't
there were 2 of them and they were always 5 rooms ahead
until it was time to fight the boss, then they were smugly hiding behind a corner
And here I thought they'd be salivating at the opportunity to make health bar vanish
i thought the same
but no, apparently not
i guess i am just limited to vet now
since the other three won't work anymore
at least until we get force greatsword
using shroudfield does funny things to your brain
shrouds your brain even from yourself
the moment i equipped loner and shroudfield on my zealot and entered a mission
i instantly felt an extreme urge to run as far as i can
away from my team
stealth was a mistake
idk it was pretty weird
(i eventually died)
later when they eventually picked me up i just did the same thing again
call of nature
Stealth feels off. Like, if you could sneak around normally and just dodge every encounter, an enhanced stealth option would make more sense.
was it for penances at least
penances?

the stealth loner virus has taken over..
i literally just joined randoms and made them do the mission as 3 😂
this one is lost
just zealot things
Cruel and usual punishment
in ~2k hours of play
ive seen about 2-3 stealth zealots that were actually useful to the team
like stealth revives killing hard to see snipers etc
Imagine contributing to your team in a coop game
as opposed to "lone assassin edgelord"
Theres a reason I'm 30 on psyker and never hit 30 elsewhere
zealots aren't playing your game
sm2 is that away go play nightlords somewhere else smh
shake myrine 2
I recently heard about lesbian chess
2 queens?
take both down for victory?
cat fight cat fight
I cant remember the last time I played checkers
you just have to jump over stuff
so like
I think it was a drinking game and I won a perfect match?
what happens when 4 shroudfield loner zealots go quickplay
and they're all put in the same gam
e
They don't notice anything
Finally, singleplayer
i was thinking more like
do they set up the rules and then just race?
and are there prizes
wonder if you could organize something like this...
last one to die is a nurgle worshipping heretic
Time for the annual Darktide games! Get your rebreathers, the zealots are racing today, and its gonna be toxic.
Tomorrow we have assail marksmanship, followed by ogryn jigsaw puzzles!
for all we know they all may be nurgle worshippers already
maybe he's been telling them to do it
to sow chaos among imperial ranks
Some of them sound a little Khorney though
shroudfield would've been a better psyker ability
better leave it in responsible hands
Purple psyker
dw you'd still have your shriek
Oml turn invisible, walk up to someone, "BOO!"
