psyker-class

[ripe bear]

insane

[steel flame]

Yes, yes it is

That amount of crit chance also makes you effectively immune to ranged damage while just shooting the gun with empathic

[upper sun]

extra ~130 on each swing against carapace no noticeable difference on chaff

uhhhh +100? on unyielding

its been a while since i checked

but i think it warrents further inspection

you get all of the benefit with each hit unlike skullcrusher which has to be built up after the bleed change

[jovial juniper]

Pair with Domination and the 5 rending sub node and get the funny 40 rending

[strong gulch]

I just did a horrors map. I soloed so many monsters and carried hard only for my game to fecking crash as I was getting on the dang plane. 😭

[marble crater]

[summer prairie]

probably still counts

[buoyant maple]

[strong gulch]

I'll check when I get back into game. I hope so.

[barren cloud]

what's the best map for Cliffhanger?

[upper sun]

im gonna make a second shield to test

what do you wanna compare?

[buoyant maple]

Mainly maniac tbh

Ragers, maulers & crushers

Ogryn melees have maniac adm problems

[upper sun]

ok ill try no talents first

SC CRUSHER: 387 H1 consistantly....

how do you even proc skullcrusher

does it not worth without the impact talent

[jovial juniper]

Push Attack

[upper sun]

its not working even with the impact talent

even with push attack and even full on kickback stagger

[steel flame]

at the end of hab drako during extraction the uturn bend you take to get to the extract has no railings on the inside corner and infinite hordes so you can sit there and push stuff off the ledge to the hearts content

[upper sun]

jesus i can bearly get it to work on maniacs

[verbal thistle]

The beginning of chasm log, the main bridge has a 1 person wide side bridge

[steel flame]

and it doesnt need to be the ult push, as long as you are killing enemies that are falling when they die

shit you can even get it by killing enemies with your weapon that are falling over a box

long as they die before they hit the floor

[upper sun]

SC dreg rager H1: 344 H1 472 H1 600 using sprint cancel has to be very quick

doesnt need impact talent

[nocturne dust]

Chasm Logistratum at the beginning, there's a walkway on the left side that is easy to miss, stand in the corner and smite enemies that come at you.

Hab Dreyko is more of a pain since you have to play a whole map first.

[sly shadow]

Can someone help me with the Deimos Blaze Force Sword? Saw some video mentioning that a particular part of the combo when heavy attack is really strong. So the ideal situation is light (even nothing) then load up a heavy attack for the 2nd hit and it'll be like a truck. So to keep it going is it just light > heavy > light > heavy > repeat, or is it like light > heavy > block > light > heavy?

[nocturne dust]

you block to get the beginning light jab which doesn't occur if you repeat

[next pine]

is that the charged overhead heavy attack?

the strike down?

[patent mango]

i just go light heavy repeat

[sly shadow]

yea

[nocturne dust]

Not super necessary, but it is more optimal

[next pine]

yeah that shit fucks things up, especially if it's also warp-charged

[nocturne dust]

If you want super stupid combo, just spam heavies

That works too, lol

[sly shadow]

So Warudo said to keep the chain going, Deadvoid said to block to reset the combo's?

[exotic crane]

you want to use the strikedown, not the stab on the deimos?

[nocturne dust]

You can do either. Resetting is optimal but unnecessary.

[summer prairie]

block cancelling feels a bit slow, not sure if it's worth it even

[next pine]

I use the strike down for bosses once their shield is down. They take so much damage from it

[analog agate]

I do L1-H2-block

[nocturne dust]

no, you want stabs?

both l1 and h2 are stabs and they quite a bit of damage

[exotic crane]

I mean, which one is better?

oh, okay

I do use the stab if I can

but mostly just EXPLOSION

[nocturne dust]

I'd test but that would require effort

[summer prairie]

I remember testing it but it wasn't very rigorous

[clear heath]

I just don't bother because i'm lazy. No idea if it's optimal though

[summer prairie]

if you need the l1-h2 combo specifically to kill an elite, then it's worth it, otherwise I think not

[nocturne dust]

Yeah the l1->h2 is very good at offing non-ogryn enemies so you don't need to repeat

[upper sun]

SC dreg rager H1: 344 H1 472 H1 60
SC crusher: H1 387 h1 531 h1 675 h1 675 h1 675
OP dreg rager: h1 344 h1 435 h1 435....
OP crusher: h1 387 h1 446 h1 446....
with impact talent same results @buoyant maple

wait a second lemme check my full usual build

[buoyant maple]

hm, seems like skullcrusher is still much better

[upper sun]

hold on a sec lemme check with full talents

[nocturne dust]

Optimal shieldgryn blessings?

[upper sun]

nvm

skullcrusher still king

my disappointment is immeasurable

[nocturne dust]

F

[buoyant maple]

[nocturne dust]

wat about 2nd blessing

[buoyant maple]

BM

[upper sun]

always brutal

ALWAYS

[nocturne dust]

ah

wait but doesn't shield have infinite cleave?

[upper sun]

i do fnp

[buoyant maple]

irrelevant because shield has 1 combo

H1 block cancel, loop forever

u only rly want to use H2 vs like, very high mass elite waves

it helps stagger all off them at once

assuming no carapace to block cleave

[nocturne dust]

Dang

Shield needs another mark

[upper sun]

@nocturne dust for shield

[verbal thistle]

no often them up?

[buoyant maple]

rock is too good

ogryn weapons' maniac ADM is painful

[jovial juniper]

Rock supremacy

[upper sun]

rok

[verbal thistle]

nuke only here

[nocturne dust]

but bomb

[upper sun]

nuke = no bleedmaxx

[jovial juniper]

(I have soft them up)

[upper sun]

ill shoot myself in the toes before i use box

[radiant frigate]

bobomba

rock seems funny but is it really worth

[nocturne dust]

you know what would make box good?

more grenades

grenades inside the grenades

[jovial juniper]

4 rechargeable single target damage/stagger

[nocturne dust]

and grenades inside those grenades

[upper sun]

yes

free ranged insta kill every 60 seconds

[radiant frigate]

does it have boss stagger

[upper sun]

everything except maulers and ogryn die to rock

[jovial juniper]

Needs weakspot hit

[buoyant maple]

yea

[radiant frigate]

satisfactory

though +15% teamwide boss damage seems good too

[buoyant maple]

it's alright

but rock saves u a lot of ammo/time across a mission

for killing mutants and specialists

[nocturne dust]

Counterpoint: shotgun need no ammo

[strong gulch]

Just checked, and it didn't count. Crashed too early. No reconnect option either. RIP

@lethal lagoon please post :BoogerFrog:.

[marble crater]

Sadge

Is ogryn box useful yet?

[nocturne dust]

no

[marble crater]

[nocturne dust]

I mean you can use it

and it does stuff

just less stuff than other options

[clear heath]

you get to hear more explosion noises

[jovial juniper]

Last resort for BoN to spit your teammate
That's about it

Emphasis on last

[upper sun]

letting the psyker tank it is before that

[strange nova]

right

I need to relearn psyker

oof

[marble crater]

Ogryn bomb it is then.
I thought only my psyker talents were reset because of the new tree, but nope. All characters have all their talents reset

[nocturne dust]

hm that's strange

I don't remember zealot or ogryn being reset from Unlocked and Loaded

[marble crater]

Maybe because I reinstalled, but the game remembered all my other settings so I don't know

[lethal lagoon]

[strong gulch]

thank you

[lethal lagoon]

No problem.

[marble crater]

Oh hey

[strong gulch]

Ye. All of them. It wan't a huge deal for me on psyker because I wanted to go through the new nodes and I understand the psyker tree and whatnot.

I DON'T KNOW SHIT ON ZEALOT. All of my stolen and copied builds gone. 😭

[marble crater]

Just checked my zealot and those are still there, weirdly enough

[strong gulch]

wtf

lol

[jovial juniper]

Yeah no changes to zealot

Psykers new tree
Vet Ogryn some new talents

[nocturne dust]

ogryn didn't get new talents

just one node moved and balance changes

[marble crater]

I see, annoying that

[nocturne dust]

well two nodes I guess since they swapped places... big sad tdr stacking nerf 😭

[jovial juniper]

Extra stagger on push

It was like
Less stamina cost for pushing after successful block before

[nocturne dust]

That's a balance change

[lofty marsh]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d7f6e59-bdb2-4c92-bd1f-45e12b0c7d06/infernoscrier

[nocturne dust]

That node existed before

[jovial juniper]

Nope that's a new talent

[lofty marsh]

How we feeling about this

[nocturne dust]

name is the same

Checkmate.

[jovial juniper]

Woops the description isn't

Checkmate

[nocturne dust]

Lmao, so any time a description changes, new talent?

FNP must be new

[strange nova]

Alright psykers, help a fledgling psyker out.

What's the strats with the Deimos sword

its your single target one right?

[nocturne dust]

spam h2

win

Never use special

[strange nova]

ah

so non force force sword

ok

[nocturne dust]

Yes, lol

That's why it's my favorite force sword

Charge specials bad

[strange nova]

how do i spam just H2 though

[nocturne dust]

L1->h2

[strange nova]

Ahhh I see it

[nocturne dust]

block cancel to get another l1, or just use the weird light that occurs after and then h2

[strange nova]

also jeez the athenaeum is out of date 😦

[nocturne dust]

you can also just spam heavies

[strange nova]

scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it for a new barely touched the class after levelling it person to get into gunker

or is gunker a nono

[nocturne dust]

Gunker is the levelling build, lol

[strange nova]

i dunno how much i'd use it anyway cuz i like magic stick

ah

[nocturne dust]

Staffker is the hard one

[strange nova]

it wasnt when i was around lol

fair

i like stick

i need to make some stick builds

[nocturne dust]

I mean mainly because staves scale hard and assail is with gunker

and assail is great at lower levels

[strange nova]

thats fair

[hollow jolt]

staffker isn't that bad if you hug trauma

[nocturne dust]

Eh

[hollow jolt]

its reliable and easy to use

[nocturne dust]

I mean you can make staves work

[strange nova]

i havent liked trauma since vt2

[hollow jolt]

yeah I'm not saying its the best

[strange nova]

ground circle isnt my thing

[hollow jolt]

but its certainly usable

[nocturne dust]

but it's not nearly the level of power you get at full

[strange nova]

at full...?

full tilt?

[hollow jolt]

not like you need the best when leveling after all

[strange nova]

full blast?

fully clothed?

[nocturne dust]

Shame. I'ma have to ground circle you now.

[nocturne dust]

Full build.

[strange nova]

right

i've a maxed psyker, im just looking for builds+advice

because gameslantern just has stuff all over the place with bad descriptions

[nocturne dust]

Hm, well staves are meta

[strange nova]

and the athenaeum is out of date

[zinc phoenix]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9d7f74e9-8475-4304-a129-0b7ecdaa2cf2

this one is fun

if all you want is builds 🤷‍♀️

advice wise, shoot em with the shooty stuff

[strange nova]

mk2?

i thought 4

[zinc phoenix]

yeah its better for hitting hordes

[strange nova]

ahhhh

[zinc phoenix]

the voidstrike is better for the crushers etc

[strange nova]

i do like hordesmack

[nocturne dust]

Just use a knife

[zinc phoenix]

i dont like knife

too much clicky

[nocturne dust]

Mad talk for someone in knifing distance

https://tenor.com/view/killed-em-hold-this-stabbed-gif-14017151

[strange nova]

if i wanted to knife i'd play a non psyker lol

like they already have so little unique going for them

i'm not going to reduce that further

[zinc phoenix]

we shoot big balls

[nocturne dust]

I mean, Psyker has problems with melee maxing imo

Knife is taken for speed

[jovial juniper]

Now the Mk2 H1 has the same damage of the Mk4 heavies

[zinc phoenix]

idk the build i linked is fun in melee

[nocturne dust]

Gotta go fast

[strange nova]

is surge i mean uh... electrowhatsit still looked down upon?

[zinc phoenix]

is that why my poke is so nasty? this explains things

[nocturne dust]

EK is strongest staff

[strange nova]

I like battery on a stick

[split lance]

Who tf thought it was trash

[strange nova]

eh last time i played i got dunked on for wanting to use it

[split lance]

What dude sucks so bad they think surge is bad

[nocturne dust]

Me before ER and surge surge

[zinc phoenix]

surge sucks without the one build that makes it very good

[split lance]

Wait that sounded too serious

[verbal thistle]

pre crafting update. it was the worst staff

now its the best

[nocturne dust]

yeah, this

[jovial juniper]

Yeah
The H1 on the Mk2 had no damage before Path of Redemption iirc
Then FS fixed it

[zinc phoenix]

well ok two builds

[split lance]

It was still the best. You just had to be lucky

[nocturne dust]

If surge was missing one thing in its build it would die

[split lance]

And or

Have a lot of ordo

[zinc phoenix]

i played a lot of surge with a fancy stick and it worked build wise

its still the same build now

[split lance]

Ye I used it a lot pre craft

[zinc phoenix]

except left click is now a thing

[split lance]

Left click cringey

[strange nova]

can i see?

[zinc phoenix]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9d7f7732-23d7-4049-9434-80fd68e014ea

i left a couple points out from the traditional build

[split lance]

U can drop kf for uhhh quit one if ya want

But I wouldn’t

[zinc phoenix]

you can also go kin flayer these days

which is ok and less boring than smite

[nocturne dust]

[zinc phoenix]

imo warp charge 6 isnt worth it so i go empathic evasion and 4% chance for charge on kill

[nocturne dust]

quietude

drop battery and take quietude

[zinc phoenix]

quietude is very strong

[split lance]

Fuck is battery

[clear heath]

6th warp charge

[nocturne dust]

bottom purple

[split lance]

Oh

[clear heath]

if you're spamming shriek, you'll realistically not get 6 charges

[split lance]

I thought it was one of the top

Ones

And was very confused

[nocturne dust]

2 extra warp charges which you won't get on a shriek spam build

[split lance]

In mael you get to 6 pretty fast

So can spam shriek

But better

[nocturne dust]

Even in mael, the benefit is minimal

[split lance]

More shriek

More fire

More fire

More dead

More dead

So many more dead had to say it twice lmao

[nocturne dust]

Shaving a couple extra seconds off a build that already stacks cdr out the wazoo

[split lance]

I haven’t heard out the wazoo

[nocturne dust]

like running cdr on curios, smh my head

[split lance]

In so long

[lethal lagoon]

[split lance]

Who doesn’t run cdr on curios

[clear heath]

you're not getting 6 charges every 15 seconds most of the time

[split lance]

Now that’s a crime

[nocturne dust]

Me

[nocturne dust]

You the one dying

[clear heath]

i do run them cause i'm greedy for dps

[split lance]

I also don’t play as a support

I’d rather die a hero

[nocturne dust]

Neither do I.

[split lance]

Than live a coward

[hearty wolf]

So the gameplay loop for this is press f and spam staff?

[split lance]

(I’m dying anyway)

[nocturne dust]

spam rmb and spam F, yes

[lethal lagoon]

Yuh

[nocturne dust]

Target elites for PC goodies

[hearty wolf]

I will give that a go when I can roll a decent EK staff then

I assume running it with ds4 is fine

[split lance]

Kill elite -> shriek -> repeat.
Mael is over in 15min

[split lance]

Ye.

Surge is best gorl

[hearty wolf]

I just need curios for my psyker too before I just run maelstrom non stop

[nocturne dust]

I think it prefers a horde clear weapon just for when shriek is on cooldown

EK eats everything not horde

[strange nova]

that makes sense

[split lance]

I run 1 health 2 tough both have CDR

[strange nova]

illisi hours

[split lance]

It does but surge is so strong you can run anything

[strange nova]

so i can swing swing whoosh

[nocturne dust]

Yeah you can run anything

Illisi is eeeehhh on this build

[hearty wolf]

I saw mention of knife for movement speed but what would you take specically for horde clear?

[nocturne dust]

Chainsword

[strange nova]

vomits

nah i guess that tracks

[hearty wolf]

This is too much mastery shit, I'm just going to buy greys and tune them up to feed

[strange nova]

but which one?

i can never remember the right one lol

[hearty wolf]

got 2 million dockets anyway

[nocturne dust]

🤷‍♂️ Either works. I use 13g.

[split lance]

Press F

[nocturne dust]

they're asking about melee

[split lance]

Turn the green. Greens and golds give same amount of xp

[split lance]

F is the best melee

F my beloved

[nocturne dust]

Charged Strike logic

[split lance]

Jokes on you

Idek what that means

[nocturne dust]

Look at smite's center subnode

Recognize it is the least useful talent on the tree

Does no stun, no stagger, no cleave, and barely any damage

also it's a DoT

[split lance]

I’m never going to use smite again after what atlas made me do

Won’t even look at it

[marble crater]

What did he make you do

[split lance]

Smite only the whole game

It was nothing short of boring and awful

I literally started scrolling Instagram

Used melee like 2x but only push. No swing

[marble crater]

So you were the Atlas to his AgentChaos

[split lance]

No. We were all smite only

4 psykers. Only smite

[hearty wolf]

Are you okay?

[split lance]

No

[nocturne dust]

[split lance]

I am not

[marble crater]

Eww

[split lance]

Weren’t you there

[nocturne dust]

no

[split lance]

Oh

[nocturne dust]

[split lance]

Idk who was then

Ik beans

Who was 4th

Welp

Maybe a random

I genuinely do not know

[nocturne dust]

dang, can't believe you forgot [Redacted]

[split lance]

I’d like to forget if anything

[marble crater]

Maybe you were only three, but smite fried all your brains and you had a collective hallucination

[split lance]

That’s more than possible

You will literally never catch me on smite again

I’ll crash out

[marble crater]

The Flurry bug on Surge really annoys me, I didn't play for a few months but my muscle memory still gets messed up because of it

[clear heath]

i wish they would fix it already

makes me not want to use it

[split lance]

It’s nice in that you do full charged but it sucks bc yeah. Less frequency

Killing elites faster with KF at least

[marble crater]

It sucks because it feels bad

[split lance]

It doesn’t suck

You take that back

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

[snow nymph]

i like the assail because my stingert goes woo woo owoowowowow

[marble crater]

No, in fact the new name also sucks

[split lance]

I do agree with the name

[nocturne dust]

I dunno, EK is nice for acronyms

[clear heath]

i don't mind it

the dumb one is voidblast

[marble crater]

Don't like that one either, yea

[split lance]

Yup

Wack

Cringe

[marble crater]

Purgatus getting renamed into inferno is just hilarious after all the builds about it having inferno something in the name

[rich spindle]

They should have called it Voidburn Staff

[wispy bay]

How well does a full soulblaze built run?

[zinc phoenix]

there are a few good builds for purge/trauma/zap that use soulblaze

idk what a "full soulblaze build" means tho

[wispy bay]

Take every soulblaze nodes and perks.

[plucky flax]

Tru duo but it was long and painful

[zinc phoenix]

you are welcome to meme

[rich spindle]

2m damage of surge staff right click left click. Wrist Pain

[split lance]

Its cuz you needa duo with me

[clear heath]

wtf how long was that run?

[cyan portal]

extremely well / kinda op

except souldrinker, it isn't worth the point tax to get.

[high kettle]

"For ze Emperor i'm SURE."

[wispy bay]

I hear that soulblaze stack exponentially, so I'm kind of curious.

[rich spindle]

Yeah. Soulblaze spam is my go to carry build

[haughty star]

And the shocky one voidburst

[rich spindle]

Probably the best safety:damage ratio in the game

[nocturne dust]

Voidblaze

just for added confusion with soulblaze

[rich spindle]

Call it voidblaze and change soulblaze to soulburn

I mean voidburn

And Illisi is now Columnus Infantry Force Sword

[strong gulch]

What's the fire staff? Purg? Inferno? Voidblaze? Voidburn? Voidblast? Are these all the same staff or 5 different ones? Did we finally get new staves?

NOPE. lol. Thanks FS name changes.

[marble crater]

I thought my weapons got deleted

[plucky flax]

54 minutes

[strong gulch]

Electrokinesis staff when?

[strong gulch]

🥲

[strong gulch]

Rest up.

[upper sun]

@radiant frigate i started working on my paper

this is gonna take forever

[rich spindle]

Is there any understanding as to why gunner AI will sometimes hit every single bullet of their barrage on you

And sometimes shower you with inaccurate spray

[clear heath]

suppression is a thing

it sometimes works

[strong gulch]

toughness getting broken too

[rich spindle]

Suppression makes sense

[marble crater]

Running diagonally

[rich spindle]

Real. Just like trapper nets can easily be dodged so there’s no reason to ever get trapped

[unkempt knoll]

just had a psyker blow up at extract like just inside the ship and blew up

[primal plume]

Fire Staff is literally just an inferior version of EP Smite and Im not pretending otherwise

[split lance]

I love doing that

[brazen rampart]

This is fake, because you can run something actually useful as your blitz and keystone while having inferno in your pocket.

[split lance]

U sound like u run normal heresy

🗣️🔥

[primal plume]

thats where firestaff has a place though

[prime elk]

Purgatus is super good now

[primal plume]

if your team is good they invalidate fire staffs existance

[prime elk]

Boringly so

[spice veldt]

premade opinions be like

[cyan portal]

Or, if you are good at purga you invalidate your team's existence

[split lance]

Lmao actually

Yall know that tool song that starts with “think for yourself”

I forgot the name

Third eye

Is the name

[cyan portal]

I'd love to see some proof of this take before I mock it.

[split lance]

Mock it anyway

[supple dock]

can confirm, EP smite is fucking insane

Like it's so good people get mad at people for using it because it makes the game too easy

#psyker-class message

There you go

[cyan portal]

I wanna see it carrying an illveg and topping dmg in every category, know of any vods?

[supple dock]

Those games were auric maelstrom

i forget which

but it's a pretty insane skill either way from the clips I have

[prime elk]

they wound't understand, it's high skill gameplay

gotta hold down two buttons at once

[supple dock]

lmao

[prime elk]

but not only that, sometimes you have to press a THIRD

[supple dock]

wild I know

[cyan portal]

Purga clears all those situations as easily but much faster

[supple dock]

yes, but now you can clear those situations with a non-main weapon

[fringe garden]

But what difference does that make if you just run around smiting all the time

[supple dock]

I mean. bosses spawn i guess

[fringe garden]

Which purg staff does well against

[prime elk]

you could take both too

if you wanted to lol

[fringe garden]

If ep smite is equal to purg in all things.. except bosses.. then purg is the better choice. Especially since you can then take warp charges for more toughness regen and cooldown

[cyan portal]

also nurgle blessed enemies with stun immunity are gg smite

[supple dock]

so take purg people will get less annoyed with you for it anyways lol

since smite is that good anyways

[fringe garden]

I actually do use Purg most of the time, lol. And I very rarely see these infamous smite psykers

[cyan portal]

I still wanna see a run of ep smite hard carrying an illveg, genuinely curious to see it

[supple dock]

#psyker-class message

I have been one of them and I think I clocked in at like 15+ wins in a row in auric maelstrom in semi pubs

so like a friend or two

There's also uhm

@lethal lagoon Yo get in here

This guy has multiple screenshots of completing missions with ep smite

You can look up his comment history and filter for images and stuff

Usually spams the shit out of it

[fringe garden]

I have a feeling there is a bit of a bias when people talk about smykers. That being it's just so annoying to play alongside that it stands out in your mind whenever it does happen. Because really they aren't so common to justify the wierd level of vitriol they get

[supple dock]

because we often have people that try to argue against the things we've discovered

[wispy bay]

I think smite is the best to go on harder difficulty.

[supple dock]

They turn a game effectively inert. Especially on like Civi?

Holy shit Smite psyker is a MENACE on civi

[wispy bay]

Yes, there are some enemy with nurgle blessing, but they are few, and your teammate should be able to deal with them vs the large amount of enemy that can casually walkthrough the flame of inferno.

[fluid thistle]

what's wrong with smite?

[supple dock]

mmmhm!

It makes engaging with maulers and crushers so much safer

[fringe garden]

People get real mad because they make the game kinda boring. Depending on how much the smyker in question spams it. Someone spamming it 100% of the time kinda ruins the whole vibe of darktide.

[primal plume]

Just personal experience. EP Smite has longer effective range do to its chaining effect, doesnt get completely shut down by shields, bulwarks dont take a lot but are still stunned, and because its a Blitz, you can keep ranged options that arnt Assail and BB

[fringe garden]

It's a skill based coop experience. Removing the skill part takes away most of the fun for everyone

[wispy bay]

That's what I meant.

[fluid thistle]

I see, I see

[supple dock]

It's usually not an issue because most players are kinda bad

[fringe garden]

I'm not the kind of person to get upset with anyone for spamming it, but I almost certainly will enjoy the match less, which sucks

[supple dock]

But if you get someone who halfway knows how to make it obnoxious

[wispy bay]

Lol, it is not fun in damnation getting the crusher and rager spam.

[supple dock]

and bam you have an invincible team

or almost invincible

[fringe garden]

Yeah, it's ironic that a good smyker does actually need some skill. It just removes the need for everyone else to need much, lol

[supple dock]

there's always outliers

it's not even skill it's moreso..

[wispy bay]

Inferno needs more than 2 full right mouse charge to maybe kill some of the elites.

[supple dock]

Game knowledge?

[fringe garden]

Which is skill, just of a different kind to what you might usually call skill.

[supple dock]

I guesssssss

[fringe garden]

There is your reaction time, then there is your general knowledge

Both are skill

[wispy bay]

What is "skill" with Inferno then? Enlight me.

[fluid thistle]

I do love smite but I love purg more 😅

[supple dock]

i mean it's a heavy stagger M1 i guess

[primal plume]

Another thing about EP Smite and Fire Staff. Smite charges far quicker and you can use it so long as you have Peril. Fire staff needs you to "reload" after every burst

[strong gulch]

Gloriana with double barrels. 😅

[primal plume]

Time it so you get bounced back and forth

[wispy bay]

Purg is indeed fun. But bringing the "skill" to compare to smite is just too funny.

[strong gulch]

That would have been cooler thanwhat happened. lol

[primal plume]

Purge and Smite are both pretty braindead imo.

[fringe mauve]

AMBATUKAM

[wispy bay]

A coop game that you want to make people life harder so you can have fun... well, it is not exactly coop then, isn't it?

[fringe garden]

Both are kind of similar in that you have to balance self defense while channeling an attack.

[primal plume]

Honestly, I wish the left click on purge worked like Smite. You can keep flaming as long as you have Peril to spend

the janky charge up and reload is what just makes purge really unfun for me

[plucky flax]

No one has ever carried on burga like smite

[nocturne dust]

Just use smite and burga

[wispy bay]

And I'm very open about builds, I like with BB and inferno.

[primal plume]

Right click, not left

got them confused

[jovial juniper]

And Illisi

[primal plume]

I just want a new staff to play with....

cant believe we havnt gotten a single one since beta

[nocturne dust]

You can easily carry with Devil's Claw and Autoshredder (using EP smite)

[wispy bay]

I run smite with EP (no EP upgrade)

[cyan portal]

Do you have a vod hard carrying illveg with smite? I wanna see. Surely someone must have recorded such an op run.

[primal plume]

ironically bolt staff from V2 would be perfect for Darktide. Especially with those new traits

ALSO WHY THE FUCK ISNT THE LITTLE DINKY BOLT AUTO FIRE? WHY DO I NEED A MOD FOR THAT??

[red lily]

y'all watching these 2 numbers go up slowly is killing me lmao, last 2 psyker penances I need

[plucky flax]

No I'm not that good

[wispy bay]

Lol, my last psyker penance was the playing 100 games.

I finished every other by 70.

[nocturne dust]

My last psyker penance was the ledging enemies one

cuz I just kill them normally like a sane person

[wispy bay]

For Psykhana, I just BB EP.

[jovial juniper]

You should queue for Shock Troop Gauntlet or any Wave of _____

[nocturne dust]

Hounds

Just let the hounds roll in with smite EP

[cyan portal]

I can't find a single illveg smite vanity run on youtube. So I assume thinking ep smite is better than purga is just because you're not good at purga.

[radiant frigate]

praying for you

[jovial juniper]

Bro uses 3veg as a metric system 💀

As a gunker purga is pretty bad

As a Krak user purga is pretty bad

As a knife user purga is pretty bad

As a Thunderhammer

Ok you get the point

https://tenor.com/view/electro-kingdom-black-magic-gif-19337815

[patent mango]

i think purgatus should be reworked into summoning a giant warp sword

[cyan portal]

I just wanna see ep smite get top dmg in every category on an illveg? It's fairly easy to do with purga. If ep smite is even better then presumably such a vod would exist?

[red lily]

ye that's what I've been doing

[narrow herald]

Don't touch

Mine

[rich spindle]

The video would look like them being protected by good teammates killing the green enemies

While they farm EP smite damage on the rest of the horde

I accidentally brought it to that modifier once and it was so awkward

[vernal flax]

💪

[jovial juniper]

Green enemies are whatever
The real kicker here is boss damage
So bro's trying to prove a point by getting biased info
Instead of your usual Darktide match
Just disengage and move on

[wispy bay]

Lol, if you do it like that, my voidstrike can kill them, too.

[vernal flax]

🥱

[wispy bay]

At safer distance even

[cyan portal]

The point was just to show purga ttk was twice as fast as smites, without using an ult. If I could be bothered I'd have also shown it also has far higher max targets and wider coverage.

[rich spindle]

It has wider coverage?

[cyan portal]

Ok, any auric maelstrom run with green enemies being hard carried by ep smite? I'm genuinely curious to see it because the claim that ep smite is better than purga seems wild to me, but I'm trying to withhold judgement before seeing some evidence.

[jovial juniper]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxCPFiFNXI7uMvh_sTTvyCkUU2y2qsgxMz?si=0V6K1S-FGVIUXXYt

[wispy bay]

Smite is not about damage. It is about CC.

[cyan portal]

Yeah, purga can apply full stacks to in a 140 degree arc if you swing mouse at the right speed.

[prime elk]

both, you can do both

[wispy bay]

EP has damage as a side plus. The main thing it has is the faster spread.

[rich spindle]

Interesting

[prime elk]

nah the damage is good too

[wispy bay]

Well yeah, vs trash mobs

[prime elk]

vs. elites too

[rich spindle]

Ep smite on flak elites is p good

[cyan portal]

faster spread than purga's infinite cleave?

[prime elk]

wouldn't bother smiting bosses tho

[wispy bay]

Anything with resemblance of flak armour can just walk through flame.

[stark crown]

Hello, Mandatory LC Veteran main here to say I've literally never heard him say this in my entire fucking 1.5k hours of playtime

[rich spindle]

I would consider ep smite and purg to be the same thing but at different points on the cc - dps scale

[jovial juniper]

Neither have I
Then again Hypnotic might have compiled some unused voice lines

Like bubble breaking

[cyan portal]

Anything with flak should be dead from purga in the time it takes to run into melee range.

[jovial juniper]

Judge going full Saltz

Repent, repent REPENT

[stark crown]

I'd swap to veteran right now to see if its real

yeah fuck it

Ogryn can wait a second

[spice veldt]

soulblaze has 1.5x adms into flak unless that got changed

or also just lmbing to stagger them

[split lance]

Flame will at least kill em in less than 45sec

[wispy bay]

Again, smite is a combination tool, not a do everything.

You stun enemy so your team can safely clear them, it is not about pure damage for solo.

You can roll up and never once I wrote anything about smite does more damage.

[cyan portal]

I'm not saying smite is bad, I'm just saying the suggestion that it is somehow better than purga sounds crazy to me.

[nocturne dust]

Smite will stun crushers, purga will not

[cyan portal]

Purga will kill a pack of crushers faster than anything though. They don't need to be stunned if they're just dead.

[rich spindle]

I think stun is pretty overrated and only needed in situations where there is truly no room to maneuver. I’d say ep smite is better in these instances but they are very rare

[nocturne dust]

Only if you speck into it.

And even then, still not safer than smite

[cyan portal]

if they don't have an uncanny melee with purga then idk what they've been smoking

[nocturne dust]

And let's be honest, it really doesn't take that long to deal with a pack of crushers, purga doesn't deal with them that quick

A bolter will do better

On Psyker, dueling sword really will kill a pack quicker, and it has the upside of you being on your melee instead of trying to dance around a crusher pack with a staff

[cyan portal]

depends how big the pack is, the bigger the pack the more the race favors purga.

[nocturne dust]

Sure, but packs that large are super rare

[steel flame]

OR TRAUMA

[rich spindle]

I usually don’t bother trying to apply blaze to crushers and then getting uncanny strike up

[nocturne dust]

This is true, trauma will also do it safer

[steel flame]

TRAUMA GO BRRRRR

[rich spindle]

By the time I get 5 headshots on them they are more or less dead

[cyan portal]

Full secondary channel as they slowly walk towards you to put them all on 15 stacks, ult to put them all on 21 stacks, deimos special into headshot while they're all staggered from shriek, followed by another l1 to get 5 uncanny stacks, then poke whichever ones aren't dead yet in the head (or force push if you want to be extra safe) until they're all dead anyway a few seconds later.

[rich spindle]

I can see that being the strat for like scab melee

[cyan portal]

It isn't even very risky. If there is a green one in there you'll need to dodge its overhead and poke it first though. But that is a better situation than smite is in.

[rich spindle]

I would consider relying on enough space for a rmb channel, on ult being up, & locking into demios special to be riskier than smite in this case

[cyan portal]

Sure, assuming no green ones, it is a little more risky. I'm just saying it isn't very risky. Also the much faster ttk means it is less likely that something else will be thrown into the mix to ruin the plan. The shriek stagger gives you a safe window to be locked in the deimos special animation, which is the only otherwise very risky thing to be doing next to a pack of crushers.

The faster ttk doesn't really matter that much if you team is alive and helping, but if you're down to a solo clutch situation it is a significant advantage.

[primal plume]

Anyone else get a bug where buffs just dont appear?

im really struggling to see why this shit even exists. The variance in damage is one 1 less bolt

[nocturne dust]

Empyric Shock is a debuff

Which enemy are you saying is 1 less bolt?

[primal plume]

mauler

[nocturne dust]

well its main use is ogryns and bosses so

The thing lmb had trouble with

[primal plume]

i guess

but im just finding it hard to justify 3 talent points for very specific situations

when other classes just shit on bosses outright

[red lily]

[nocturne dust]

noice

[narrow lichen]

Anyone got a build for me, im looking to use infantry autogun and a blaze force sword

[nocturne dust]

Here is gunker

There are many like it

Also, you should have 2 free points to spend where you please

I generally put them in assail myself

[primal plume]

Also is this bugged?

[nocturne dust]

No, it increases swap speed

It's useless tho

[narrow lichen]

im putting them into quick shards and warp expenditure

[primal plume]

i barely notice a difference

[nocturne dust]

Warp expenditure is kinda bad

[primal plume]

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Quick_Draw

I thought it would be somethng like this

where its super fucking fast

but even at 80% it feels like nothing changes

[nocturne dust]

yep

[narrow lichen]

but with scriers you're constantly generating peril right?

[nocturne dust]

Sure. And you have quietude which doubles expenditure.

Any peril you gen is peril you quell. Unless you die.

Exploding bad.

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-40k-psyker-explode-perils-gif-10586129510772702813

[narrow lichen]

what about battle meditation then

[rich spindle]

its not useless but I would consider battle meditation better

[nocturne dust]

Tranquility through Slaughter and Crack of Bone should be plenty

and Battle Meditation just doesn't quell enough, it's very mid.

[narrow lichen]

Mind in Motion?

[nocturne dust]

Dodging/sliding is faster.

So bad.

The nodes I would look at are the Scrier's nodes not taken, assail, and Perilous Combustion

[rich spindle]

scrier's gunker is probably the most unforgiving glass cannon in the game, I reccomend at least one toughness damage reduction node

[mossy oyster]

nah

[nocturne dust]

Not really

Assail is your toughness generator

[mossy oyster]

no need for defense

just be aware 24/7

[nocturne dust]

You basically just swap to and from assail all day and have plenty of toughness through it, which is why you have soulstealer

[rich spindle]

good point just dont get hit

[mossy oyster]

i dont run soulstealer

my routing is quietude into perilious

in the top left

[thorn cedar]

Mind in Motion should honestly be a Scriers Gaze node

[nocturne dust]

Mind in Motion shouldn't exist

[thorn cedar]

That's its big use case is with Warp Speed

you just quell forever and bank your scriers build up

[nocturne dust]

Warp Speed and Endurance should be combined with Mind in Motion, and you should retain the effect during Scrier's lingering effect

[rich spindle]

make the movespeed node +40%

[jovial juniper]

Merge the speed into Scrier's
Put a new talent there

[mossy oyster]

make the movement speed scale the more you kill elites with scriers up

[rich spindle]

oo thats a good one

demoknight mode

[nocturne dust]

+20% movespeed per elite kill

Psyker gotta zoom

[lethal lagoon]

How about you get in deez nuts so I can make you my son again.

[jovial juniper]

Speed ain't shit

[primal plume]

A beast grabbed me through the wall

and then when it died i got stuck in it

[nocturne dust]

Walls are suggestions in Darktide

[cyan portal]

the final proof that it really is all just a psyker's dream

[viral crater]

Any good builds for psyker with bolt pistol?

[nocturne dust]

There are builds. They exist.

Good?

@plucky flax can probably give you one, the dirty 🅱️istol lover that they are.

[jovial lark]

any ETA on that 2h force sword? surely were getting new psyker weapons soon right bros? surely we will get somehting new since launch right bros?

[nocturne dust]

Right after solo mode.

[jovial lark]

[jovial juniper]

Right before Darktide Chaos Waste

[jovial lark]

same patch as the second enemy type i assume

:^(

[short lily]

Is there any way to make surge staff more consistent to ohko

[nocturne dust]

I mean, other than maxing out damage? Not really. You could go for the elite aura if you haven't but perfect timing is pretty important to the staff so it's going to be 'inconsistent'.

Vet is the one that gets consistent KOs

[short lily]

It just sucks balls to zap a gunner and they survive with a literal sliver of hp

[nocturne dust]

If you want to one-hit gunners, use +flak and +elite

iirc

It's kinda eh tho, cuz that's the only breakpoint +elite helps hit

[short lily]

That'll do nicely

Thank

[late sapphire]

When the emperor stands back up in canon and hands it over himself

[dusk void]

Omg, 11 BoNs in one mission. WTF

[strong gulch]

horrorsssss

[azure parcel]

Glad I'm done with the event

Don't have to deal with the slugs anymore

[dusk void]

The AI Director didn't have creativity for these events. I would've been fine with at least a Chaos Spawn on there

[strong gulch]

Last horrors map I did (reg T5) had Cspawns + bonbon multiple times.

[azure parcel]

I wouldn't mind the event if it clearly stated that it spawns BoNs. I think a LOT of casual players dive into it without being prepared for that

[dusk void]

I was pissed off at my teammates because they decided to rescue a teammate while I'm at the extraction elevator. Then 2 more BoNs showed up before I finished the mission smh. We should've just left

[dusk void]

I'm a causal player, or that's what I would like to call myself, I think

[azure parcel]

Ok let me be specific: bad players who struggle in auric in the first place

Then jump into mutated horrors because "wheeee event!"

And get eaten lmao

[dusk void]

I'm wondering if it's even worth it to master all of my weapons for my psyker

[strong gulch]

If you want to, sure.

If not, they'll be there.

[dusk void]

I mean, I can just buy my way to mastery

[strong gulch]

You can just play what you want then dump mats into mastery.

ye

[azure parcel]

I am terrible at Psyker and the only thing letting me play it in Aurics is Purgatus

[late sapphire]

I bought all of my mastery but it's a lot of clicking

If you like ticking off boxes, do it - if not, don't

[azure parcel]

Although tbf I haven't tried Smyker yet

[patent jacinth]

Don’t

[azure parcel]

No good electro staff yet

[patent jacinth]

Will shoot you

[azure parcel]

How is it "worse" than Purg

Purg is like infinite cleave burns + random BBs popping off on elites

[nocturne dust]

Smiteker and EK staffker are two different builds

[patent jacinth]

Purg only turns trash and light elites off

Smyker turns literally everything off and is harder to see through

[azure parcel]

Well uhh the Psyker pinned guide has it as the same build

[late sapphire]

This is why i like horrors mode

[azure parcel]

And I'm too inexperienced to cook my own

[late sapphire]

BoNs eat smykers

[nocturne dust]

I mean you can use them together

But if you want to focus on one or the other, running them together is eh

and the Psyker guide is in places

[late sapphire]

No

Shock maul electro staff smite

That combo gives you 100 style points

[nocturne dust]

With charged strike

[patent jacinth]

At least Smaul is cool

[nocturne dust]

I like the funny electrocution special

[patent jacinth]

I just like how it feels

[nocturne dust]

Annoying that ovenproof spams chat when you use it tho

[patent jacinth]

Weighty and crunchy

[patent jacinth]

There’s a patch for that, somewhere

[late sapphire]

His name is saul

[patent jacinth]

I swear I had it pasted in a server somewhere

[spark flume]

hello I saw that people were saying to take warp flurry for the inferno staff but the build I follow says to take penetrating flame. is it build specific, or outdated?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bbecaec-aadf-4a9f-b9c1-fca8d922a87b/aqshy-psyker-brain-rupture-venting-shriek-empowered-psionics-auric-ready

[split lance]

kf

[nocturne dust]

wat

no don't take warp flurry

Nexus

is the meta choice

[late sapphire]

Blaze away...

[nocturne dust]

oh wait

[late sapphire]

Penetrating flames kinda sucks

[nocturne dust]

That build doesn't have blaze away

That's just a bad build

You use Blaze Away and Nexus for max meta, Blaze Away is the best possible blessing on Inferno in every case

[patent jacinth]

Certified Gameslantern moment

[spark flume]

yeah I saw people do warp nexus and X. I saw warp flurry or blaze away but I was using that build LOL

okok do I change anything about his talent page?

or the sword

[nocturne dust]

Penetrating Flames is decent.

It's just not as good as Nexus.

[late sapphire]

'Your melee weapon should still be used to take out Crushers, but mixed hordes melt far quicker than before'
Lol?

[spark flume]

is the Psyker atheneum a better place to get builds?

on steam guides

[late sapphire]

Take warp rider 100%, toss out the bb boost on ability or toughness on warp charge

For the melee check out the dueling sword

[late sapphire]

Yes, but the best place is to ask here because here you get humans

[spark flume]

Ok ty I guess I gotta go and update my other psyker builds x.x lol

Is the electrokinetic staff dump Critical, or warp resist?

[upper galleon]

penetrating flames is basically, if your other weapons can't handle carapace period

otherwise Blaze away nexus is just really good

[upper galleon]

dump war resist you need critical for surge blessing for m1

[spark flume]

OML I'm poor after I maxed out a crit dump staff earlier. MANG lol tyty

[spark flume]

oh wait surge? Is there a build guide out there for that and the talent tree?

[strong gulch]

Nexus + flurry is the old meta.

Recent update gave us more blessings.

[upper galleon]

sadly, electrokinetic staffs best build is to play around M1

crit bonus as a mod score+ surge blessing+ nexus= spamming balls

[nocturne dust]

Only if you abuse quell cancelling

RMB is stronger otherwise, imo.

[nocturne dust]

Wap res for an RMB build, or charge for an lmb build

[split lance]

Eh

[upper galleon]

even without macro it's ridic once you practice

[nocturne dust]

It's strong, but so is RMB spam.

[upper galleon]

and it doesn't disable your RMB, surge still gives crit chance and it charges quicker than other staffs

[nocturne dust]

Crit is less important on RMB, RMB spam wants flurry

Crit is mainly used for perfect timing on RMB

RMB and lmb both mainly do the same things, RMB is just better at offing elites/specials while LMB has the ability to suppress hordes (which isn't all that significant if you are practiced in dodging, really). This of course changes when you quell cancel.

[spark flume]

For the RMB do I go empowered psionics with smite and venting shriek?

and does it change for lmb

[nocturne dust]

You only go EP smite if you want an EP smite build

Warp Siphon is for creeping flames shriek spam, which is the 'normal' EK RMB build.

LMB wants to do the same thing, really. It just makes a minor detour for Empyric Shock and gives up a few other nodes.

This is my EK build for RMB spam

For LMB spam I would swap to smite (giving up Kinetic Flayer) and lose wildfire to go for Empyric Shock

[spark flume]

do you go prescience for the crit on the lmb?

[nocturne dust]

no

costs an extra point to do so, so no dice

[spark flume]

ok ic. Is it bad to use dueling sword for every build for now? (poor building all my chars)

And do I need to change the perks/blessings for the dueling swords in between builds (also what's the meta on them)

[nocturne dust]

Not sure what you mean

[spark flume]

not the LMB and RMB but all the psyker builds

[nocturne dust]

EK does prefer a horde clear weapon tho which dueling sword is not, but you can make it work easily since your real horde clear is Shriek

[mental rock]

Its fine to use the same weapon for every build, but it will make switching weapons more difficult. Especially since duelling sword is so good right now

And switching perks between builds is handy if you utilize your weapon for different purposes depending on the build, just don't forget to switch them back

[spark flume]

ok yeah cuz I'm trying to just get things running since I'm p poor and I'm... not feeling the blaze force sword too much.

[mental rock]

It will also cost mats every time you do it

[nocturne dust]

Or just have multiple of the same weapon

[mental rock]

That too

[spark flume]

Yeah I'll prob do that eventually. wait so for the duel swords

do I change anything?

[mental rock]

On psyker I would personally swap riposte for uncanny or thrust

[nocturne dust]

Well, for one, get rid of precog and add uncanny

I would also get rid of riposte for thrust

Riposte is a blessing if you want to main dueling sword and attack enemies with your melee, which is kinda a big ask on Psyker

[spark flume]

Done. Icic so would it be good for that one build where you go psycho?

and are the perks ok?

[nocturne dust]

Psyker is ordinarily going to be defensive with their melee and try to create space for their ranged weapon

Of course, meleeker exists but the normal pick for that is illisi

[mental rock]

Perks are fine, you might lack boss damage though depending on your ranged wep

[nocturne dust]

I would swap maniac for unyielding if you put thrust on

[spark flume]

yeahhh I'll try to get more maxed weapons soon.... always need diamantine lol

will do. Sorry also do you guys have a build for Telekine shield psyker?

Last one haha

[nocturne dust]

Shield generally pairs with Voidblast or Inferno

[plucky flax]

Shield

[nocturne dust]

You'll do better with Shriek once you're practiced though

[spark flume]

oh is it not good? I thought people loved shield LOL

I don't actually personally like it but thought it'd be good to have if it was good, but if it isn't I can pass ig

[mental rock]

Its nice for the team but shriek has better carry potential

[nocturne dust]

It's more of a crutch

Like it's not bad by any means but you don't need it

[nocturne dust]

This build works for both Inferno and Voidblast btw, lol

If you want shriek, just swap to shriek. Literally the same.

[spark flume]

IC I'll do voidblast so I have a build of every staff lol

if I did shriekd would I do the +1 bounce?

[nocturne dust]

For smite? No

[plucky flax]

No ee on burga?

[nocturne dust]

or you mean EP smite?

[spark flume]

OH wait sorry mixed up the names

still learnign lol

[nocturne dust]

Voidblast and Purga build.

Swap staff.

E z

[strong gulch]

Shields have their uses, but shriek (with creeping flames) has both utility and damage.

Bubble is nice on some maps like train. Double wall can be nice for specials but more so for KR EP BB (kinetic resonance, empowered psionics, brain burst / rupture).

[plucky flax]

Yeah but no ee

On the burga

[nocturne dust]

EE isn't that good

and mettle doesn't work rn 😭

[plucky flax]

It is on assail and burga

[spark flume]

ic. Is there a build out there that uses voidstrike?

[nocturne dust]

On burga, sure, but you find a point

[nocturne dust]

Of course

In fact, voidstrike has 2 builds

One for shriek, one for scrier's

[spark flume]

mmmm can I get the build for scriers, if possible? I'll have a build for every staff and ability then haha

also blast radius dump, Warp Flurry + Surge (If it's scrier I hope?)

[nocturne dust]

warp nexus + surge

[plucky flax]

Certified top 0.1% moment

[nocturne dust]

also be warned that this is my personal, more unhinged variant that generally requires more skill

[plucky flax]

I run flurry surge on my void too

Nexus is just too slow

Void is already slow as is

[nocturne dust]

You don't even like voidstrike tho 😭

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's really mediocre in my hand

[spark flume]

it's ok, I like trial by fire. Would the perks be crit + something?

[nocturne dust]

Anticipation lets you better handle the slow charge time, but yeah, you do need to be very aware, moreso than other staffkers

[nocturne dust]

crit and flak (or crit and maniac if you're crazy like me)

To note, crit chance. Never take crit damage.

[spark flume]

TY I have a lot of builds now lol

Also weapon of choice for this?

[plucky flax]

Kind of weird

[strong gulch]

That's for trauma assail with ER.

Not meta but fun.

[plucky flax]

Trauma and assail but no soulstealer seems hard

[nocturne dust]

It looks

[strong gulch]

You can put souldstealer instead of souldrinker.

[nocturne dust]

It just looks.

[spark flume]

oh I didn't know it wasn't meta lol

[strong gulch]

The other option is DD instead of WC.

[spark flume]

I'm not good enough to make my own builds so I'm trying to gather meta builds and learn from there lol

[nocturne dust]

Definitely not, lol.

[strong gulch]

It's my build btw. LMAO

[nocturne dust]

I'm aware, lol.

[strong gulch]

Meta with trauma is BB with KF, shriek, and WC (left keystone).

[nocturne dust]

Wait don't you have a crystalline trauma build

[strong gulch]

Yes. It's so much worse.

[nocturne dust]

lol

I want martyr psyker to be real

'Survivor' psyker or something, for every missing wound +movespeed and +damage converted to peril

[strong gulch]

Behold crystalline will trauma. (it's fun and not good)

[nocturne dust]

At least it's better than symmetric perfection

[strong gulch]

I call it "Purple" for a reason.

[nocturne dust]

Waiting for ogryn bomb crystalline will

Come on Fatshark

you know you wanna

[umbral dove]

does anyone know if the Skullcrusher perk does extra damage to electrocuted enemies

since they’re kinda already staggered?

[nocturne dust]

Uuuhhhhh it's a debuff that applies to staggered enemies

The electrocution effect is separate from stagger, so if you see them being staggered it would work, just not because of electrocution... if I'm not mistaken

[slender coyote]

Hi intensity mutated horrors plus pox gas

[nocturne dust]

so I uh.... would you be interested in Symmetric Perfection 2?

[strong gulch]

It's beautiful

[exotic crane]

new EP smyker build?

[restive slate]

Question, how is Psyker with Fan Revolver?

Scryer build with Assail?
