[digital hill]

So much fire 😭

[nocturne dust]

Cleansing flame good

[digital hill]

My team stood in the middle of the stim cache mission ;_;

Not enough fire.

[sturdy reef]

give me a force hammer FS

I wanna cosplay as a zealot

[haughty star]

I mean illisi charged strike and Rashad will dome them fast.

[nocturne dust]

not faster than parry spam

especially if you try to, y'know, not take damage

[buoyant maple]

Rashad is ~8s for 3 Dreg ragers

With Psyker’s lower melee damage that could be 9~10 seconds

Psyker Rashad takes 1 extra hit to kill Dreg rager compared to veteran Rashad

[nocturne dust]

The funny thing about parry spam is it actually takes longer to kill fewer of them

Especially when there's only one

[haughty star]

Id just assail dump anyway lol I guess as a staffker option it wouldn't be bad? But as staffker they should honestly be ez clap with the stave anyway

[nocturne dust]

I mean, yeah, I'm not saying Devil's Claw shouldn't get a tweak

It just has a funny use

[sturdy reef]

staffker shits on ragers

just aim at head

all staves can stun em

[haughty star]

I just don't ever feel the need to run it I outside of wanting to run it

[nocturne dust]

Yes

But I want to run it

[sturdy reef]

gunker you could def use devils claw

[nocturne dust]

Fatshark, let me parry bullets

[sturdy reef]

deflector moment

[nocturne dust]

Most gunker guns will eat ragers

[sturdy reef]

ya shoot em

[nocturne dust]

In fact, ranged is kinda the intended way to deal with ragers really

[sturdy reef]

or assail

[haughty star]

And you have assail

Lol

[strong gulch]

I was rolling for a lower WR surge / EK staff. I blew threw so much ordos. I even bought of rando weapons from melk to sell.

I wasn't lucky enough tho. I did, have a look through my inventory and there was an upgrade in there just collecting dust.

At least I got an upgrade in the end.

[haughty star]

I still kinda like shriek gunker

[sturdy reef]

Im on a SG binge so Im not really using shriek rn

[haughty star]

Shriek gunker is kinda weird choice but dd carry it pretty hard and shriek is shriek

[haughty star]

I just recently started seriously using it tbh

Most of my psyker career has been on surge WS cuz it's just so damn easy and consistent

[haughty star]

I ran my surge with unyielding for a long time

I'm constantly juggling between crit chance unyielding and maniacs lol

[strong gulch]

Valid. Surge is funny like that.

In these bonbon times tho.

[hazy moss]

guys

whats the best way to farm diamantine

[latent mauve]

Quick play damnation

[haughty star]

I've just been running gunker and if it doesn't throw me into a match in progress I switch if it's not the new modifier

[nocturne dust]

Unyielding on surge helps with reapers

With perfect timing you can get it down to a 3 shot on rmbs

unyielding was my preference even before the boss spam

[fiery stratus]

Anyone wanna squad up and carry me?

[sturdy reef]

[fiery stratus]

c'mon i'll sit in the back, you be the tip of the spear

[sturdy reef]

you're asking a psyker to be vanguard

lol

[haughty star]

Well tbh usually we do carry whole ass matches with damage and cc lol

[fiery stratus]

sure, i carry all the time as psyker when qping lmao

[sturdy reef]

farming enemies staggered with the inferno

[fiery stratus]

Anyone else want to hop in team 10? Auric QP/Maelstrom

[strong gulch]

I can do a couple. A bit brain fogged, but I'm ok to play.

[indigo plank]

Unyielding for reapers + bulwarks has made playing pubs much more pleasant

Bulwarks stop the M1 heroes from M1ing all the pox. Even if they’re bad, the quicker I can get them back to M1ing means I can continue to deal with scary shit so they can keep lawn mowing

[nocturne dust]

or just use shriek and do everything yourself

[split lance]

I’ll show you the tip of my spear

[haughty star]

Where are yall seeing all these m1 heroes I've only seen ones that I've infected

[indigo plank]

Most people I find have their headphones on the floor just mashing M1. No pushing, no dodging, just SLASH!

Occasionally I get conscious humans, allegedly

[raven mountain]

I'd say like half-ish of the psykers I see are some form of EK, either lmb or rmb.

Except of course when I'm running inferno, then the other psykers are also inferno. -.-

[late sapphire]

Had a guy last round who looked at a scripture i had pinged for about 20s before walking off without picking it up

Not quite sure what i did to get into the brain damage queue but these people are often quite impressive

[raven mountain]

That's why I have the skull ping button right next to the normal ping. Spam it like a fool whenever they are doing dumb stuff.

That and whenever there's a horde coming from behind where no one's looking.

[jovial juniper]

What's with pox bursters insta exploding when you push them with smite

It would make sense if that last 20 dmg was classified as explosive

Because Bursters take a lot of damage from explosives

[late sapphire]

Poxbursters have some weird thing where if they get staggered enough they explode

At least i think it's stagger, they just randomly explode sometimes...

[jovial juniper]

From a single M1 tap is crazy

[languid tusk]

thoughts on stamina psyker with parry sword ? https://streamable.com/8snm0o

[jovial juniper]

Should've had Scrier's Gaze up

Simple as

🤷

Hmm

Wonder if Unbound would let KD stay active at 100 peril

[raven mountain]

Man, I've been having the opposite problem. I walk up and push the burster, and it hasn't triggered yet. So now I'm waiting for him to get up and trigger so I can push him again, but I can't turn around and deal with other enemies because then I'm going to eat that burster 100%.

Just wish they always stumbled and burst when they were pushed.

[thorn cedar]

Nope

since it turns off at a threshhold and doesnt care if you can generate peril freely

blocking will still default to stamina even with unbound active

[late sapphire]

You can push it and run and shoot it

kd and warp unbound don't work together no

[thorn cedar]

i will say though that knowing i can still toss an assail shard or a smite volley for 10s after Scriers is a much better boon than i originally gave it credit for

[late sapphire]

'an assail shard'

brother we toss all 10 of em during warp unbound

[raven mountain]

I've been traumatized too many times by others shooting them. I can't do other people like that.

Take the high road!

[thorn cedar]

yea just to stagger a rager

[late sapphire]

with warp splitting it's THE time to assail

[thorn cedar]

when youre getting ratfucked and your perils is too full to block anymore

you got an out left that isnt warp suicide

[raven mountain]

Yeah, I love warp unbound. Great on assailker and any staff you like.

[fresh reef]

does Tranquility through Slaughter trigger for every enemy hit?

[thorn cedar]

its a shockeningly inefficient use of SG but still lmao

no only once per shot

[raven mountain]

I totally saved myself today with an oopsie activation. I hit 100% and just pressed SG. I had one stack of whatever it's called, but I didn't pop and the karkers died.

[austere warren]

Something like that. Works incredibly well for builds looking to extend gaze

Feels best with recon lasguns and infantry autoguns

[restive slate]

Is the best weapon for Gunker still the Vraks IAG?

I wonder for other alternatives such as Bistol

[queen pike]

for force sword should i go deflector + unstable power or uncanny strike? seems like most builds prefer uncanny strike but id rather kill the enemy than have to hit them again to use the bonus

or just stick with riposte for crits?

[restive slate]

Uncanny makes it so you kill Crushers super fast without needing to charge up

[thorn cedar]

best gunker weps have high capacity, fast swap, high crit chance, crit strings, or finesse

anything that isnt some number of the above is usually not going to benefit that tremendously from the kit

bistol really fails for being slow to fire and only having eight shots before needing a full reload

[jovial juniper]

Uncanny Strike Deflector

[versed hedge]

The 'charming moment' of A-series graphics cards, but it has to be said that this effect is quite handsome. I hope that Dark Tide also has more cool ambient lighting effects and skin lighting effects

[jovial juniper]

Bro's fighting Tzeentch

[lone ravine]

i think that entire hab block sector might be demolished for warp taint...

[restive slate]

I wished there's a Carnival map where we actually enter a Rave Club, can be abandoned but it'll be cool with flashy lights and ingame music

[versed hedge]

A true carnival

[thorn cedar]

every game should have a nightclub level

if elected gamer president this is my one decree

[restive slate]

Ogryn can go "This music too loud and hurty to ma ears!"

Psyker: "it's quite soothing actually"

[robust jacinth]

@abstract arch's trauma staff be like

[abstract arch]

it's magriv #darktide-fan-art message

[red lily]

What the hell that's so silly, how viable is it in a run

[languid tusk]

It's fun but I can't really say it's more effective than just smiting everything lol

cool thing about it you can keep the beast of nurgle distracted by walking up to hit from behind and parrying the tail slam

it keeps trying to tail slam you if you parry it

[abstract totem]

What synergies does lethal prox have with psyker over all

[fiery stratus]

@strong gulch ggs

[strong gulch]

Thanks for the games! Glad we finally got to play.

[fiery stratus]

Yeah, good teamwork. We'll have to do it again sometime :p

[strong gulch]

ye

[jovial juniper]

Barrels

[nocturne dust]

I don't get it

[sturdy reef]

alas, poor Yorick

[robust jacinth]

you wouldn't

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/the-hidden-i-want-answers-gif-11666212

[digital hill]

Sitting at 100% warp for 10-15 seconds is amazing.

[livid vapor]

brothers i haven't played in a month, what staff is stonk

is gun psyker dead?

[thorn cedar]

gunker is very not dead

[livid vapor]

This any good or should I swap blessings at all?

rip i cant post pics, I stil lwant pinning fire and blaze away?

[thorn cedar]

on what

[livid vapor]

I left this discord and lost my ability to post screenshots 😦

[ripe bear]

laspistol psykers how we feeling about this https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9d77f18c-5d49-4d18-be0a-eefe20136614

my boss dps feels alittle low, laspistol isnt max power yet tho

[zinc phoenix]

I hate it

[hushed heart]

Hey which dueling sword was the really cracked one everyone loves

It was V right

[jovial juniper]

4

[zinc phoenix]

no no definitely 5

be sure to dodge near stuff

[slender coyote]

just a typo?

[acoustic osprey]

i think this smite only psyker thought sedition was too easy, so obviously auric maelstrom was the next step. if only progressive overload was a tried and true theory!

[wind spruce]

Infested perk is terrible and crit chance is just OK. I'd go flak unyielding

[patent jacinth]

Drop something for Warp Unbound

[wind spruce]

I'd also suggest crit aura over cooldown aura

[patent jacinth]

Its extremely strong

10 seconds of double cleave assail

[wind spruce]

And, yeah, warp unbound ftw

[slender coyote]

is showstopper good on purg

[patent jacinth]

No

[wind spruce]

Also warp splitting is a straight upgrade compared to ethereal shards

[patent jacinth]

You can also have both though

[slender coyote]

what about penetration flame

[wind spruce]

There's never a reason to take ethereal shards over warp splitting

[slender coyote]

buy?

[wind spruce]

Both is overkill, imo. You don't get that much use out of that extra target, and there's other stuff you want

[patent jacinth]

It works for EP assail schenanigans

But yeah I can agree it can be overkill

[slender coyote]

should buy ?

[patent jacinth]

Yes, buy anything with a good stat roll

worst case you just never use it

[slender coyote]

I never find good curios

should i run the curio from mission perk on my curios

[digital hill]

I have been just to increase odds.

The mystery curios from Melk is a decent way to do it too.

[slender coyote]

oh i forgot about that

[patent jacinth]

No

[slender coyote]

are they guarantee max lvl blessing?

[patent jacinth]

Not worth it

[patent jacinth]

Also no

[digital hill]

I spent 4k on it, and managed to pull a +3 stamina. The two +17 toughness I got today was from armory.

[patent jacinth]

Still gambling

[slender coyote]

i love gambling it's ok

[digital hill]

Yeah but what else you gonna do with the coins lol

[slender coyote]

ikinda miss the old crafting system

i just spent 3k coins on mystery curios

[digital hill]

lol goes quick

[slender coyote]

Ok this works very good

[digital hill]

I'm annoyed that I can't do anything with the curios. I have like, 40

[slender coyote]

I got 2 21% health one 17 toughness and 2 3 stam

[digital hill]

Whoa

[slender coyote]

sorry 3 3 stam

[digital hill]

Fkn lucky.

[slender coyote]

i just need 2 more 17 toughness

ill spend 3k more

[patent jacinth]

3 stams aren't real at 400 rating

need to be 410 or above

[indigo plank]

Bought ~8 curios from Melk on my psyker before I got a +3 stam after no luck in Brunt’s shop. Proceed to see one in Brunt’s shop yesterday while I’ve seen no 17% toughness or 20% health curios for ages

[slender coyote]

wdym

[indigo plank]

[patent jacinth]

a 400 rating 3 stam is a rounding error on the card, its actually a 2 stam

[slender coyote]

I can just consecrate

[digital hill]

I've been checking after every mission, but yeah he usually doesn't have anything worthwhile.

It won't increase the blessing.

[patent jacinth]

not how that works

[slender coyote]

because

[patent jacinth]

On curios

[slender coyote]

it adds perks on it

[indigo plank]

Brunt’s garbage is only good for absentmindedly leveling mastery when you have buttloads of Ordos

[patent jacinth]

A curio's rating is static

[digital hill]

Oh yeah sure, three perks. But no blessing improvement.

I also got a fake 400 one.

Rude.

[slender coyote]

it honestly does not matter because i already had the 3 stam at 410

[digital hill]

Yeah the fake one was also a stam.

Do curios go up to 500 or?

420 is the highest I've seen so far.

[indigo plank]

Zealot’s the only one I have all maxed gear on, I think 420 is my highest with the +3 stam curio

[slender coyote]

now im not getting any toughness

[digital hill]

Yeah man, most of mine were wounds.

🙄

[slender coyote]

3 16 toughness

[ripe bear]

is the +stam curio really really needed for psyk

[digital hill]

I like it!

I dont know if it's necessary.

We've got a lot of methods to replenish toughness

[patent jacinth]

I don't really think so

[digital hill]

I spend a lot of time swording, though.

[orchid ibex]

It can be nice but no, not necessary

[patent jacinth]

You have the lowest innate stam regen delay and the ability to remove stamina from blocking

[slender coyote]

ughhhh im gonna use all my dockets idc

[split lance]

Wait. I thought Psyker had fastest stam regen?

[digital hill]

My peril doesn't need any reason to have another source of increasing lol

[split lance]

Oh delay

Nvm

[patent jacinth]

lowest in time

[split lance]

Tbh tho. Imo. Stam curio isn’t worth it

I think I misread above convo

[digital hill]

I dunno, dropping the third toughness took off like, 14 toughness

lol

aint sweating that

[orchid ibex]

I usually just go hp and two toughness with kinetic deflection to cover block stam

[split lance]

Same. But on some builds I do drop KD

[slender coyote]

This is ridiculous

[split lance]

Like surge with KF

[slender coyote]

ispent 15k on random curios

[orchid ibex]

Kd is my crutch, never dropping it

[digital hill]

I use deflection, so it doesn't take much for a sneaky gunner to pop out and spike my block with sudden peril lol

if Im rocking kd

[split lance]

As long as you don’t fight a DH ur usually pretty alright

[split lance]

I also use deflection

But I also use Melee a lot less than I should

I’ve been running ds more

[digital hill]

I'm pushing constantly, so my block is practically 'up' a lot of the time. Even if I'm just knocking them around with force push

[split lance]

I just use staff endlessly

[digital hill]

Doesnt take much for a few gun strikes to upset my delicate harmony of peril edging

[split lance]

I love edging

[slender coyote]

22k melk coins and only 1 17% toughness curio

[digital hill]

lol

[split lance]

Rip

[digital hill]

Go check the armory now lmao

Probably one sitting there.

[split lance]

Just wait till it shows up for grunt

[slender coyote]

im going to spend my last 1k

[digital hill]

Did you check what curio he has

in limited edition

[split lance]

It doesn’t make that much a difference

[mental grail]

bruh

why is the game punishing me for magdumping?

[slender coyote]

2 stam

[mental grail]

if they didn't want me to mag dump, they shouldn't have made it so fun

[slender coyote]

wait do melk points go across all characters

[orchid ibex]

Yep

[slender coyote]

i fucked myself

[orchid ibex]

You'll get more

[slender coyote]

now i gotta do his dumb contracts

[azure parcel]

Noob question, BB doesn't deal damage if you half charge it right?

You have to let it charge and cast fully?

[spice veldt]

ye

[verbal thistle]

Correct

[spice veldt]

the only thing it does half-way is the minor stagger

[azure parcel]

I see

Ty

[restive slate]

So how are the Smite talents perceived?

In terms of buffing Surge Staff

[silent wigeon]

Not worth it in serious builds typically

[sturdy reef]

1 point in it so you can get either tree

[silent wigeon]

And as an oh crap tool

[sturdy reef]

its nice for covering res

and stunning crusher packs

[plucky flax]

Just run bare smite.

It's already good enough to stun lock everything not green bois.

[nocturne dust]

Run Kinetic Flayer

[late sapphire]

I'd rather run assail than smite

[dense valley]

what is the cool kids purgatus tree looks like these days my psykkas

[plucky flax]

Hishock mutated silo cluster only toughness regen is from quietude and mettle using ER. 38hp damage taken

But muh -30% toughness reduction

[dense valley]

lol how u do 800k dmg in a 25 min run

[plucky flax]

Run this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofm7LYOMiI4

[plucky flax]

I'm really good psyker.

[nocturne dust]

Wait

Who are you and what have you done with Unsanctioned

[quartz barn]

Average youtuber moment

[nocturne dust]

Refer to yourself in the third person or be shot

[plucky flax]

Mr. Unsanctioned possessed my soul.

I played 9 event maps so far and didn't lose once.

Bonbon veri easy very chill.

[dense valley]

lol how the damage metric even work in this game like sometimes u do 400k dmg over 40 mins and win the run and some other days 400k dmg over 20 mins and still win

[quartz barn]

Gets tiring after a while tho

[nocturne dust]

Now solo

[quartz barn]

Oh look a glubby

Kills glubbie

[plucky flax]

I am not a fan of solo. It's either stealth and skip, or it drags forever.

[quartz barn]

Oh look a glubby

Repeat x20

[plucky flax]

But yeah as psyker against bonbon it's just so free.

No ammo to worry about. Range it so you never get touched by corruption.

[nocturne dust]

On auric, generally you get a pretty constant stream of enemies so the major difference is how much your team is helping.

[late sapphire]

step 1 have a teammate who only does 100k damage

[nocturne dust]

But sometimes the director decides to kill you

[plucky flax]

That guy joined at mid event since the zealot who went down instant left.

[late sapphire]

zealots lol

[plucky flax]

When I was running to him to get him up.

[late sapphire]

You gotta love em

[late sapphire]

Sometimes they leave the exact moment i reach em i never understand why

[plucky flax]

He went to the spawm point solo whilst us 3 kill bonbon. Then he got downed by shotgunners. Xd

[dense valley]

i do play auric exclusively and on avg each player do like 300k dmg a win run

[plucky flax]

But I was 100% going to get him up but yeah he just left before I could get there.

[quartz barn]

No revives

[late sapphire]

spawn rates are really eclectic

It depends on map for some reason as well

[nocturne dust]

Also you can kinda just farm damage

[late sapphire]

Sometimes you do 1.5mil total damage over 30min sometimes 2.5mil...

Most consistent is scab melee mael because all of the roaming enemies i think

[plucky flax]

This was consignment yard hishock mutated in 24:14. I only managed 667k because teammates were really good. The other guy left after going down just before end event though.

[dense valley]

my lastest games like still cant see how 900k dmg is possible lol

[nocturne dust]

It's possible, you just have to be a damage hog like Agent

[plucky flax]

None of your games were hishock.

It's only hi itensity.

[nocturne dust]

well, if you want to do it consistently

[plucky flax]

Well the relay station was but you joined late? Only 14 mins game.

[summer prairie]

one of those was only 14 minutes too, maybe joined midgame

[late sapphire]

Yeah if you double the 15min one you'd have more than 1mil

[dense valley]

oh ye that one

[nocturne dust]

Play sedition and camp to a million

[summer prairie]

but there are only so many enemies to kill, doesn't matter how well you play if your teammates can do some damage too

[late sapphire]

Though it does mean you missed the more lull sections at the start

[nocturne dust]

[late sapphire]

That's one part

The other part is that you can go to hishock damnation and do 60% of the damage and it still isn't enough for 1mil sometimes

Really, damage scoreboards are meaningless i think it's funny when people show off with them

[summer prairie]

plenty of spawn variance too, had a 17 minute maelstorm with only like 1400 kills total between the team

[dense valley]

i mean the other guys must play martyrdom smyker or st to get the kinda number

[plucky flax]

If you consistently get 700k+ in 25 mins though.

You know you're cooking.

[late sapphire]

I'm stuck in the kitchen...

[nocturne dust]

I once had a mael that decided to just stop spawning enemies

Literally walked through the end event with nothing

[late sapphire]

Had to go back to auric damnation for the event, nowadays it's either carry or fail for some reason...

[raven mountain]

500k-600k is really common in auric damnation.

[dense valley]

real

[plucky flax]

This was in 25:46 consignement yard but it was cdr maelstrom

[raven mountain]

Like, it's still a bit away from 1m, but for it being pretty common, it doesn't take much to get a bad player and everyone is doing like 600-700k

[late sapphire]

Now imagine if flurry actually worked 😔

[plucky flax]

It works if you full charge.

[summer prairie]

wouldn't change much for me

[nocturne dust]

Imagine half-casting

[raven mountain]

Why half-cast when can insta-cast?

xD

[dense valley]

it doesn't ???

[nocturne dust]

It does

[summer prairie]

it works but doesn't let you stop the charge as early as it should

on surge

[nocturne dust]

but it's bugged and slows half-casting

[dense valley]

nvm i dont pick that blessing anw lol

fuull criit for me

[late sapphire]

I need the slightly faster half cast on enemies that i didn't onetap i need it i can't play surge without it

[nocturne dust]

ew

lmb spammer detected

[dense valley]

wym i main dd voidstrike

2 giant balls are addictive

[nocturne dust]

But we were talking about-

[plucky flax]

[dense valley]

gotta defend myself from this accusation

[nocturne dust]

Imagine only using a single staff

[late sapphire]

God i love surge voidstrike

[dense valley]

idc i love balls

[nocturne dust]

Mains. Smh my head.

[plucky flax]

Secret to playing well is using cheat mods of course

[late sapphire]

did you know if you flick the crosshair while casting a crit you can shoot the two balls in different directions?

[summer prairie]

surge is kind of autoplay to be fair

[plucky flax]

Sshhh....

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-metal-gear-solid-gif-14187145046150119880

[plucky flax]

Don't tell them about the secret auto aim staff.

[dense valley]

ye but i dont want that i want both my balls on the same guy

[nocturne dust]

How dare you

[late sapphire]

That's preferential treatment man

[nocturne dust]

You may be right, but how dare you

[late sapphire]

Gotta spread those balls out

Everyone gets a taste

[dense valley]

stop pretending other staffs take aiming skills lol

u just need to hit R before cummin in ur pants thats it

[nocturne dust]

I mean voidstrike and trauma do require some effort

[plucky flax]

I can't play voidstrike it's slow and bad.

[nocturne dust]

You're slow and bad

:(

[summer prairie]

the event maps are kind of low damage if you play something that triggers the explosions since it doesn't allocate the damage to you

[plucky flax]

Trauma takes too much effort to do the same damge as surge.

[late sapphire]

If voidstrike is so good why aren't you called AliveVoid think abt it

[summer prairie]

but force push attack exploding ogryn patrols is entertaining

[plucky flax]

When I play void I actually play assails.

80% assail 10% void 10% creeping flames.

[nocturne dust]

No, I've already been lobotimized by Hadron

[nocturne dust]

ew

When I play void, I play void

80% voidstrike, 10% assail, 10% knife

imagine using fire

[dense valley]

assail feels like cheatin tbh

[plucky flax]

I'm not gud like you

[nocturne dust]

I don't believe you

Try voidstrike harder

[dense valley]

like what if there is a branch of the tree that provide a fucc ton dmg only if u headshot and theres a skill that guarantee headshots on multiple target like ???

[summer prairie]

with Power DI you can see the damage split between your ranged and blitz, pretty useful

with bistol assail they are closer than I expected

[nocturne dust]

🅱️istol makes me 🅱️arf

[dense valley]

i think assail design is kinda kill the purposee of dd branch

[nocturne dust]

huh?

I don't understand that sentence

[dense valley]

mb like if u play dd u must aim for headshot to deal dmg right ? with assail u can do that without aiming

i think assail should be changed to st like zealot knife that would fit the idea of dd more

[summer prairie]

no thank you

[plucky flax]

You shoot bistol too much.

[mossy oyster]

soyker has enough options to deal with single target

assail should not fit into that category

[summer prairie]

I still try to never hit max assail charges

[plucky flax]

You play creeping flames or gazer bistol?

[summer prairie]

creeping

[plucky flax]

My boi

[dense valley]

like its literally how fatshark named that blitz

[plucky flax]

Assails already nerfed too many times

Pls no more

[lunar totem]

and its still op

[dense valley]

this guy get it lol

[summer prairie]

it is but it's a ton of fun to have a gameplay loop that has you juggling 3 different weapons constantly

[nocturne dust]

I don't think assail is OP. It's not EP smite.

In fact, assail is probably the best-balanced of the 3 psyker blitzes right now.

[dense valley]

i mean if pick smite or st u literally sacrifice the fun

[lunar totem]

i use brain burst

with the shock staff

[dense valley]

u a real one

[nocturne dust]

That's why it's OP

It's so good it harms enjoyment

[lunar totem]

ive never met a good smite user

theyre either too dependent on it or just bad

[nocturne dust]

You wouldn't notice them because they don't use smite

[dense valley]

i mean if u meet a good one u wouldnt notice it cuz the game would be so ez

[lunar totem]

smites so boring man

[dense valley]

but if u meet a bad one u will know in an instant

[nocturne dust]

Lots of people disagree 🤷‍♂️

Let them have their fun.

But still, tune down smite a lil

[dense valley]

cmon man how ppl find smite fun

[summer prairie]

I liked having it as something I only used when my team was dead, but now can't even take it for that reason due to KF greed

[lunar totem]

i usually dont use the blitzes a lot with my build

so i just bring brain burst

[nocturne dust]

You're asking the wrong person

[lunar totem]

smite is just hold right click and press left

[nocturne dust]

They just want to be palpatine or something I guess

[dense valley]

i path all the way to bb just so i dont pick assail lol

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[dense valley]

it feels like cheatin i told u lol

[lunar totem]

i path all the way to bb just because i want to lol

[nocturne dust]

It's not that good on auric dam, lol

unless you consider every staff cheating

and some melees

and some guns

[dense valley]

i do except voidstrike ofc

[lunar totem]

the electrokinetic staff is broken

[nocturne dust]

[dense valley]

damn bro we literally share the same mind

[nocturne dust]

Strong, yes. Broken? I only consider things 'broken' if they become problematic for others' enjoyment. EK is not that.

[lunar totem]

i do not share the same definition of broken

[nocturne dust]

I mean if you don't want it to feel like cheating, just nerf yourself 🤷‍♂️

Take only 1 blessing, take tier 1 perks, get a gray weapon, etc. etc.

[lunar totem]

broken to me is just something strong yet enjyoable

enjoyable*

[nocturne dust]

I think that's a weird definition given that broken generally implies it needs fixing

[dense valley]

i think shits broken when the portion of skill / output is at some point

[nocturne dust]

but you do you

[dense valley]

say, the electric staff

[lunar totem]

what

[nocturne dust]

wat kind of broken tho

[dense valley]

like the amount of skill required and its performance

u dont have to aim or anything and ur target are stunned and die in like 2 hits

[lunar totem]

i mean most items in the game require some amount of skill to be good, but i guess ones that dont make it "broken"

[nocturne dust]

Aiming isn't much tho

[dense valley]

but like that whole aspect is removed when u play that staff

[nocturne dust]

A lot of guns don't require that precise of an aim

like recon las or infantry autos

braceds

[dense valley]

agree but its still needed to some degree

[nocturne dust]

Plasma

Bolter

Bistol

[dense valley]

the idea is u still want to aim for the head

[nocturne dust]

I mean, sure but a lot of those guns don't need to

[dense valley]

but with ek staff u dont even need to do that to make the most of it

[nocturne dust]

and EK doesn't even get head bonuses

[dense valley]

my brother in psykana it got crit dmg lol

[nocturne dust]

uh

that's not weakspot dmg

[lunar totem]

literally every weapon has crit damage pretty much

[late sapphire]

You do still have to aim with surge

[nocturne dust]

Smite and BB can't crit

[late sapphire]

Hitting elites in a crowd and so on for better soulblaze damage

[dense valley]

then my point still stand

[lunar totem]

well i meant like literal weapons

[nocturne dust]

yes

[lunar totem]

not blitzes

[nocturne dust]

I was just mentioning... I think the only real things that can't crit?

that are, y'know, actual tools and not DoTs

[lunar totem]

probably

[nocturne dust]

Sure. Your point stands. And?

[dense valley]

ek staff is broken lol

[nocturne dust]

That is the whole draw of the EK staff. You don't have to aim for the head.

Otherwise, why not take revolver

or bistol

[dense valley]

and like with that quell macro shits literally cheatin

[nocturne dust]

or (etc.)

[lunar totem]

well no shit a macro is also literally cheating

[nocturne dust]

lol

[nocturne dust]

A lack of aim does not mean a weapon is broken.

[dense valley]

i mean u can do it w other staff but ek is still the best cuz that crit roll isnt it

[lunar totem]

yes, its a strong weapon where you dont have to aim

[nocturne dust]

It's also a super finicky weapon

[lunar totem]

most staffs are

[nocturne dust]

You need perfect timing to hit BPs

You rely on creeping flames/pc to deal damage

[dense valley]

i mean even if u dont deal dmg the staff which isnt the case it still stun ragers and stuffs

[nocturne dust]

So do a lot of things tho

[raven mountain]

What's the dump on inferno staves? Might finally bother getting a perfect one.

[nocturne dust]

warp res

[raven mountain]

ty

[nocturne dust]

of course

[raven mountain]

Wasn't sure if it had a funny one. Like I think voidballs can dump something else, the aoe?

[dense valley]

noooo its the funniest roll

[nocturne dust]

Voidstrike dumps blast radius, yes

[dense valley]

no why would yall do that

[nocturne dust]

but it's the only exception

[raven mountain]

kk

[nocturne dust]

the end explosion does nothing

blast radius only affects the end explosion

ergo

it can go

[raven mountain]

Been using the same 75/71/75/79/80 I've had since I hit level 30. xD

Was a pretty good roll for not having tried to get a perfect.

And yeah, I have no clue what people are talking about when they complain about having to spend so much money on getting perfect rolls. Got mine in 4, lol.

[dense valley]

whats yall think is next for gearing and stuffs ? new blessings ?

[nocturne dust]

new weps probably

[dense valley]

or weapon mods perhaps (copium)

[nocturne dust]

I doubt they're going to do anything significant with gear right after the crafting update

and for Fatshark, that means a couple years

[raven mountain]

It's fatshark, they make no progress in a timely fashion.

They might add some weapons or some new marks, or give us red weapons (up to 100) that would change the dump stat meta, but it's not happening any time soon.

[dense valley]

ranked Darktide is prolly the next big thing i guess

cant wait to be called hardstuck havoc 1 by some stealth knife zealot

[nocturne dust]

Fatshark has one of those "Good heavens, would you look at the time" clocks that always point to 'No Progress'

[raven mountain]

who is hardstuck havoc 2 because "his team can't keep up"

[nocturne dust]

Watch people get hardstuck havoc 40

[dense valley]

lol how the debuff each rank gonna work u have -dmg or some shit

i mean if the typa debuff is fixed each rank ain't it gonna limit much of the strat

[spice veldt]

nb4 shooters do 10x damage and peeking out is a death sentence

[nocturne dust]

bubble meta?

[dense valley]

horde are relpaced by chaos spawn

[nocturne dust]

horde are replaced by poxbursters

The hardest difficulty: surviving the lag when they explode

[spice veldt]

smoke vet chorus zealot poggers

[wintry niche]

Having most fun with this class now, which difficulty is still doable with public games? 4?

[nocturne dust]

all of them

[spice veldt]

depends on build and experience

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[wintry niche]

It can't depend on your build if you are que'ed with 3 idiots?

[spice veldt]

sure it can

[nocturne dust]

You can carry at any difficulty

[spice veldt]

there exists highly unethical weapons and builds in the game

[nocturne dust]

Indeed

[spice veldt]

i pub auric damn fine if you want to use that information as reference, though I use one of the unethical options for it

[wintry niche]

What unethical option? 👀

[spice veldt]

trauma staff

stagger + damage + CC

[nocturne dust]

I mean, all staves are pretty strong when fully built right now

[spice veldt]

sure, but trauma provides a good combination of stagger, damage, and CC

it's the one i would pick if i was achieving the highest winrate possible

[nocturne dust]

Trauma is the safest, yes

[spice veldt]

yeah?

i don't see where the disagreement is

[nocturne dust]

I didn't say there was a disagreement

[spice veldt]

i didn't realize that you had to declare it for there to be one

I'm responding to this

[nocturne dust]

I didn't realize me agreeing was me disagreeing.

[radiant frigate]

how come you didn't get a bazillion bonbons

[spice veldt]

what tone did you mean to indicate when you used "I mean," ?

like come on

[nocturne dust]

Wdym

[spice veldt]

what?

you obviously disagreed

[nocturne dust]

no

[spice veldt]

yes?

[nocturne dust]

I think I know what my intention was

[spice veldt]

what was the intention

i seriously do not get it

[wintry niche]

I like my surge staff

[nocturne dust]

To add more info

[radiant frigate]

i think the message is that all staff options are unethical

[spice veldt]

sure

[nocturne dust]

'all staves are strong'

[spice veldt]

let's leave it at that then

suspiciously omitting the "i mean"

really makes you think

[radiant frigate]

no it really doesn't

[nocturne dust]

I use the flowery words sometimes

I'm a poet, I know

[wintry niche]

I might go for a different melee though

[radiant frigate]

though i agree that trauma is the least ethical

[nocturne dust]

EK is neat

[radiant frigate]

can run a ds fully specced for boss/crusher damage

since trauma assail can kill literally everything else

[nocturne dust]

I feel like purg is the least ethical just because of its ease of use and sheer capability

[radiant frigate]

least ethical because it directly cuts into my melee time

remove this filth immediately

[nocturne dust]

Imagine using a melee

- Sincerely, the Cleansing Flame of the God Emperor

[radiant frigate]

imagine playing backline caster when you can be sword wizard

[nocturne dust]

Done

Now wat

[radiant frigate]

if it is that easy for you then there is no argument to be had

quite simple

as for the "now what", we go our merry ways

[nocturne dust]

I could be a sword wizard, sure, but where is my force greatsword to be the sword wizardiest, hmmmm?

Checkmate, meleekers.

[plucky flax]

I DONT KNOW

[radiant frigate]

I AM WONDERING THE SAME THING

where is force greatsword

[radiant frigate]

or did your 4th player have a morbillion boss damage before leaving

thammer zealot or something

[spice veldt]

psyker needs to hit the gym more for the 2h Fsword

[plucky flax]

Nah I think he was doing the least damage. The other zealot moved too fast so I had to run and kept up with him.

[wintry niche]

Did he also do the "noobs, uninstall game" afterwards?

[raven mountain]

Yeah, and flamethrowers are considered warcrimes, too. 😛

I think Trauma is the most well rounded, but it's so hard to fuck up using purg. Just burn everything. Shake the mouse around. If it's not blue, make it blue.

[patent jacinth]

We don’t know how painful soulblaze is

And it doesn’t qualify as a flamethrower

I would say electrokinetic is probably least ethical

[spice veldt]

yeah, i suppose that it's less ethical than a localized grenade and a bowling ball

[patent jacinth]

It’s mostly just that electricity is usually unnecessarily painful

[wintry niche]

"It’s mostly just that electricity is usually necessarily cleansing"
Fixed it for you

[nocturne dust]

heretic lies

[patent jacinth]

I meant from the perspective of current laws but also yes

[radiant frigate]

not-so-localized

at least with the outer radius

[main oasis]

so frustrated with the penance cliffhanger... i ask the group to let me get a horde to an area i can push them off and they say its fine and then just kill everything anyway...

doing my head in

3 hours ive been trying to do it now...

[radiant frigate]

do it on hab dreyko

end part has a ledge with a spawn point next to it

and people frequently run past it

[wintry niche]

Sounds familiar to "hey just need 125 more smite kills, when I light them up could you bonk em in the head please thanks" and then they just stand there

[urban sandal]

like kat said, hab dreyko's extraction getaway has a ramp that loops around towards the valkyrie, there's a hole in the roof that hordes will eventually pour through when the team makes their way up, if you hang around for a bunch to drop down and use shriek you should get it

[main oasis]

yep, been hoping that, even on lowest diff so they arent aware of the spawn, but they still just kill them all

[radiant frigate]

lowest diff has less heretics

more heretics more chances

[main oasis]

ive done about 6 games and at different diff because of mission proc

i think im just going to have to give up for now

[quartz barn]

Grab kinetic deflection and stocking up on stam and stam regen also goes a long way

[main oasis]

its causing me to want to cliffhanger myself

xD#

[quartz barn]

Afk block near one of those points, wait for enemies to group up

Shriek and spam push them of the edge

Might take a bit for the penance to pop up tho, usually the kill box is pretty far down

[main oasis]

yeh, i ive been trying, but either the bots follow me like a bad penny or the others strill insist on staying with me or killing everything

its a simple request really, leave me the f alone...

[quartz barn]

Its also why this penance sucks, because enemies often die while theyre falling

I got it a long while ago by running ahead of the team instead of waiting behind

[main oasis]

thats a good shout

i think ill rambo it

[quartz barn]

Because dumbasses will interpret you being behind as if youre strugling and come 'help'

[main oasis]

"that psyker thinks they are a zealot" xD

[quartz barn]

But if youre ahead you get both the horde and all already present enemies on you

And teammates wont be able to reach you

[main oasis]

thing it, i explain what im doing... and they say its fine and then ignore it

people make my brain hurt

even my son can follow a simple instruction and hes 2 and a half xD

torrent on damn, here i go again

[nocturne dust]

I did it on Chasm Logistratum with the Many More Try mod so I could do it solo and not bother anyone. At the beginning of the map there's a small walkway on the left with cliffs on both sides. The side nearer to spawn has a corner you can just sit in and spam smite with to knock incoming hordes down until you get the penance.

The important part is it's a super convenient spot right next to the start, you can even easily miss it.

[fluid thistle]

why do I hate the dueling sword

[radiant frigate]

because it does not kill hordes too well if i had to guess

or because it is too effective vs crushers

[fluid thistle]

just feels odd for the Psyker's aesthetic imo

i haven't tried it too much because of this but i suppose i will have to eventually

[dense valley]

literally me

[radiant frigate]

hardmode zealot

[dense valley]

my first char was a zealot got him to lv 300 then switched to psyker been my main ever since

i think dome psyker playstyle is most akin to zealot as u can always get away with dogshit positioning

[main oasis]

another 2 games that they just ognore me :/

ignore me

[dense valley]

i mean if u play random pub its just like a single player game u happen to play w each other

[main oasis]

i get that

but if someone wanted help off me to do a menance id help :/

penance

its just 1 group of enemies, it might add 10 seconds to a game

not exactly an impact even on speed runners

[dense valley]

just ask some sweaty psykers here to join u lol

[main oasis]

yeh, thats a good call

although im going to take a walk now, remember what sundshine feels like xD

[stuck sinew]

He's doing the menances but what about the womenances?

[upper sun]

my brain isnt working rn but when you're back i can help

[main oasis]

cheers, thats amazing

[upper sun]

inv

[jovial juniper]

You know

I keep hearing of melee psyker

But not a single mention of Scrier's Precognition with DD and Decapitator Rashad

With a side of Crack

Just saying

[upper sun]

ur using too many words

i wanna respond but i cant read rn

[jovial juniper]

Take your time

[upper sun]

@main oasis ready when you are

[upper sun]

no

im still recovering from the nurglepox

[main oasis]

thanks but i need to take a walk, ill be about 20mins, going to talk the dog out

[upper sun]

okie that works

[main oasis]

i work with computers, then i play games at home, so i need to experience fresh air now and again lol

[upper sun]

maybe dorn can help

fresh air is overrated

exercise is good dont get me wrong

but fresh air is a meme

[digital hill]

[dapper raft]

Kinda seems like as far as DPS goes it's almost always ideal to fully charge the void strike

Is that accurate?

[digital hill]

Situational. Sometime I rapid fire small charges to clear some space if we're getting pressured.

Or to stagger

[dapper raft]

Same yeah

[summer prairie]

especially if you run the cleave talent, a little under half charges are fine for horde and regular shooters

[austere warren]

Hi. It's me.

Tactical axe Scrier's Gaze is cool

Free stack

[dapper raft]

The deimos swings fast and generally kills at least one piece of trash per swing

I see no reason to use anything else

[digital hill]

The horde clear with the Illus or whatever is so fun

[plucky flax]

Only blew myself up 3 times with warp unbound.

[summer prairie]

due to the bug?

[plucky flax]

Yeah I was spamming assails too hard.

[jovial juniper]

Amateur numbers
Gotta get them up

Kek

[plucky flax]

Should wait at 100% peril then continue after.

But dpsmaxxing 🗿

[upper sun]

yes

[austere warren]

Just yell in your mic when it happens: free venting shriek.

[fluid thistle]

🤣

[upper sun]

venting at 100% peril puts you at higher peril afterwards than venting at 86

always peril max

[plucky flax]

10 events win in a row.

[summer prairie]

I lost my 16 game streak yesterday

[austere warren]

Psyker the first to get all penances done for me. Yay.

[plucky flax]

I got top monsters damage in 6/10.

[summer prairie]

what's your ping typically, I still can't get myself to explode (on a server) despite how much I spam near 100

[plucky flax]

70~100

[main oasis]

would anyone be available to team up and help me with a penance? cliffhanger

[plucky flax]

Warp unbound
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1294316479222779976/Untitled_video_-_Made_with_Clipchamp_30.mp4?ex=673418e7&is=6732c767&hm=c206d2cd8f35878cc93ce51956da1ddd3bf7d70eea80b9b0cd12f69b7827a058&

Safest way is to just wait like 1s after reaching 100%.

But why wait when the talent says you won't explode?

[upper sun]

aaaand thats why you dont trust fatshark

[main oasis]

true dat

yeh i tried out that talent not to explode but take the chaos hit

[digital hill]

Sometimes its fun being a warp bomb.

[main oasis]

it worked just as well as a party balloon actually as a safety bumper on a logistics train freighter

[digital hill]

Assail gives me the most trouble with scryer.

I seem to pop constantly even with the talent to not explode for 10 seconds.

[main oasis]

yeh assail is just too spammy xD

[digital hill]

Yeah it's just too easy to click lol

Fun to just absolutely fill a room with the darts though

[main oasis]

im running staffker

each primary fire is 2 peril

so i just spam constantly and IF i get to 100, pop shriek

its a rinse and repeat and suits me down to the ground

[digital hill]

Woooo, just finished my last staff to 500. All of them are maxed out now.

I do like shriek spam, it synergizes well with scryer.

Er

It doesnt, rather

lol

It's a hard choice between the two.

[main oasis]

grats

[digital hill]

Im trying to squeeze out as much +mobility on my build, and weapon speed. Being able to run and leap over hordes and smash into them from behind has been brainrot fun

I really want to try out the staff talents on the left side, but I'm not sure what I should give up. I swap between melee and staff nonstop

[main oasis]

my build is just pure glass cannon tbh

[celest valve]

based on general chat i am trying the scattershot combat shotgun on psyker

it's uh kinda silly for hordes

[main oasis]

and i hung the tankiest player on the field to save my ass if things go south

anyone want to be more bored than they already are and help me with cliffhanger?

[summer prairie]

I can very quickly

[main oasis]

cheers

[summer prairie]

code?

[main oasis]

one sec my son wants some juice

[lyric crow]

[main oasis]

6232803394

[summer prairie]

?

[dapper raft]

I love scriers gaze I just wish the effect was more exaggerated so I didn't explode my brain thinking it was still active

[zinc phoenix]

It has a very soft sound effect

I don’t love the situation with SG and WU being so tough to recognize either

IMO it’d be preferable for peril to stop being counted on screen when it is in effect or the peril number change color or something else major like that

[summer prairie]

does the game not spawn hordes on heresy when you play with 2 bots

we couldn't get a single horde to spawn on high intensity heresy, for cliffhanger

or do you have to like progress the map enough

[zinc phoenix]

You should do cliffhanger on auric, it’ll be super quick

[summer prairie]

was doing it for someone else and the good maps weren't available on damnation auric

[young summit]

Cliffhanger is easiest on Clandestium Gloriana

The first fight is on those platforms

Just use smite for a brief second and it'll toss poxwalkers back

[wintry niche]

Okay so which mark duelling sword is bae?

[young summit]

I struggled with that penance a lot until I tried that

[summer prairie]

yeah the problem wasn't that, the problem was literally there not being more than 2 poxwalkers max

not a single horde and only a few shooty ambients

[young summit]

Huh? What difficulty?

[broken carbon]

4

[summer prairie]

heresy high intensity

[young summit]

There's always a horde after the drop

That's strange.

[quartz barn]

On lower diffs sometimes theres no horde at those set spots

[summer prairie]

seems so

[quartz barn]

Very noticable when you go from damn to malice

[jovial juniper]

2

Oh but know you got conflicting information

The solution

Pick whichever you want from those two

[young summit]

I like the pokey one that says the Emperor Protects (I don't remember the marks)

[rose badge]

F, what happened to your sword?

[radiant frigate]

that is ds4

[young summit]

Splendid

[half plover]

what are the got to psyker curios

[wintry niche]

I run with 3x toughness, but going to swap one out for health when I find a nice one

[young summit]

I do two toughness one stamina

[radiant frigate]

i do one toughness one health one stamina

[sly needle]

It's not a big deal, but a deimos I had went from a 60 in warp 80 in mobility to 65/75

[rose badge]

F, when will this bug get patched for real

[radiant frigate]

most unfortunate

[steel flame]

I do 3 toughness with toughness Regen for most of my builds . But a few of my builds with lower toughness Regen I'll take a health, usually on my gun builds

[heavy valley]

bros

who was in the wrong here?

for context, i never said a word the whole game
they just blurted that out of nowhere

[plucky flax]

[strong gulch]

Classic least damage dealt being toxic.

[ornate hamlet]

For psycher purgatus staff, is it best to get the rending with brittleness? I feel that’s a bit overkill for no added bonus

[heavy valley]

warp nexus and blaze away are BiS
you can get rending from melee, just hit some heads with uncanny strike and itll apply to your flames

[jagged hemlock]

any likeminded fellas wanna help a brother run some flawless malestrom?

[ripe bear]

erm this is psyker chat

[plucky flax]

Was it heresy? Who even used malice as an insult?

[jagged hemlock]

oopd lol

[heavy valley]

just regular chill damnation cause i wanted to farm plasteel

at first i thought it was cause of ammo but i left the red ammo bags and pinged them

[plucky flax]

Didn't think regular damn is that low damage

[heavy valley]

i think its cause aurics always have a hi intensity modifier active
and you can get low int in regular missions

[cosmic sigil]

Malestorm!

[weary wave]

Malestorm is the way

Anyone else trying to get 5 Auric Maelstrom achievement?

[narrow herald]

Easiest in the game

Just don't die

Simple

[dense valley]

Just quit before u die lol

[weary wave]

I get put into middle of the game with 1/4th health and full corruption, then hordes of muties and bursters warm me up

#FunTimes

Join / Get yelled at / Greet he warp

[heavy valley]

this
thats like the least impressive title to get in the game because 99% of people just cheese it

[dense valley]

Ye that title means nothin these days

I just set mine Reject

[young summit]

Real ones use Reject

[dense valley]

Real

[weary wave]

Still wanna do it

need ze points

[dense valley]

Its like 5 points lol

[weary wave]

progress 😄

[bronze cloak]

any good voidstrike builds ?

i always feel useless when using the staff which is for sure a skill issue

[sturdy reef]

I like it because its purple

Need more purple titles

[sturdy reef]

Scriers gaze with Warp unbound. Go crit on void strike since surge also applies to the charged fire

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9d630810-c1f7-4004-8a3a-755de6c958bd

i have a lot of fun with this

it works fine in auric mael

takes some getting used to

you are pretty good in melee, can use void to melt crushers, assail merks all the gunners. lots of tools. weaving assail into meleeing a horde makes you very high damage and hard to kill

you want to basically always hit the head

it is super important

lots of traits in the build key off of weakspot kills

[storm estuary]

Finally made a Psyker, just looking at playstyles, tried a couple, so far the shield has been fun/leaning into support. Can this be made viable in harder difficulties?

[marsh badger]

100%

[zinc phoenix]

Support and shield style psyker is unambiguously the worst

You will suffer on anything harder than basic damnation

[prime elk]

Eh I wouldn’t complain if I had a teammate like that

I can handle the dps anyway

[zinc phoenix]

Issue is when all the teammates are support, then you die 😂

[prime elk]

In higher difficulties I feel like everyone plays dps anyway

[zinc phoenix]

If you are at least doing damage all is fine

[prime elk]

Because you kinda have to

[storm estuary]

thats sad to hear, its been my favorite so far.....

[marsh badger]

thats not true at all

[orchid ibex]

It's fine for damnation but maybe not as strong when you're into auric because so much relies on killing quickly. You will do less damage than something like flame shriek but it's perfectly viable still up to damnation.

[prime elk]

I think it’s totally viable at all levels though shriek or gunker scales better with player skill

[digital hill]

Sword is always the way to go.

[modest perch]

Bubble is kinda goated this week cus of the stupid slug event tbhfam

[storm estuary]

so far ive been liking that my cd seems to be enough or just barely enough to always have bubble up

but unsure if im building the tree right/using the right weapons, what would pair well with it?

i really like blaze sword and voidstrike

[digital hill]

This is the way

[late sapphire]

voidstrike is best staff 200%

Though in terms of pairing well with bubble, i think the purgatus/inferno staff takes top spot

[digital hill]

I like them all except the voidblast personally.

[late sapphire]

Eh, trauma is still pretty good

[storm estuary]

does inferno apply soulflame and if so should i invest in soulflame stuff too then? or does it matter?

[south gull]

Blaze trauma staff >

map wipe with enough stacks

a lot of setup though

[late sapphire]

soulblaze, yes, yes again

[storm estuary]

thats what i meant, lol

[late sapphire]

Perilous Combustion is much better than it seems and just generally good, Wildfire is way worse than it seems but more or less gets you a few extra m of staff range

[analog agate]

Only pretty good. Definitely needs buff.

[late sapphire]

inferno and shield have good synergy imo because the inferno staff is only really afraid of ranged enemies and crushers - and the shield makes ranged enemies a nonissue

[analog agate]

Does…. Does anyone else have the issue of the inferno staff playing the flamer sound effect when you do a secondary charged cast?

[nocturne dust]

[nocturne dust]

sounds like a mod

[slender coyote]

Guys did they change kinetic flayer to not trigger on fodder

[late sapphire]

yes

though it did take them an extra hotfix to actually make it so...

[late sapphire]

[nocturne dust]

Wildfire haters, smh my head

[fluid thistle]

rip in peace

[slender coyote]

this it's good?

i run inferno and deimos

[south gull]

pretty standard

[analog agate]

Man… if it is I wonder which one. It doesn’t make the noise in meat grinder. Only in actual game

[slender coyote]

also penetrating flame it's worth it?

[analog agate]

Kinetic resonance to psykinetic’s aura and bottom right node to warp rider

[nocturne dust]

It's worse than warp nexus

but still an okay choice

[slender coyote]

worse than warp flurry?

[nocturne dust]

Uh

[slender coyote]

on inferno

[nocturne dust]

no but you want Blaze Away

Blaze Away is best by far

[slender coyote]

i have nexus and penetrating flame

ok ill try it

[verbal thistle]

Blaze away/nexus

[proper osprey]

I’d use blaze away and nexus

[lone ravine]

How does blaze away work on the staff, is it using peril %?

[slender coyote]

I thought crits was king on the inferno

[proper osprey]

It is

[nocturne dust]

Crits are pretty good

Power, it turns out, is better

[proper osprey]

I build mine around it

[verbal thistle]

It counts attacking as using ammo, so 5 light attacks is 5 stacks

Or 1 full charge will be 5 stacks

[slender coyote]

ohhhhh

[lone ravine]

Damn so just max stacks near instantly

[proper osprey]

Yeah

[verbal thistle]

Yes

[slender coyote]

but strength how much it affects the burning?

[nocturne dust]

rmb stacks super quickly so it's actually like barely any rmb charge will stack it to full

[proper osprey]

Purg and trauma are some of the best staffs in the game atm

[verbal thistle]
