hadron was the one breaking stuff lmao
hadron hit our weapons with a warhammer instantly bricking it
she was teaching us stuff according to mourningstar comms, no?
Iirc ripper guns literally have a limiter on them because Ogryns will not stop firing
none of our rejects stop firing
Do the inquisition not lynch you for using aliens tech?
they will
Eldar weapon? 
There are actually 2 schools of thought, one is that it's okay to use heresy to destroy heresy, the other is Zealot with a flamer
if I'm not mistaken
Morrow asks how our training is going after the update along, so presumably we got handed "here's how not to break shit" booklets.
but again I'm just a non-40k nerd 🤓
remembering passing conversations soooo
I am hearsay
Depends entirely on the inquisitor
nah trainning is for low level chars
wdym?

the guys in that training blog didnt even know how to reload guns
ye that
what
How is that possible
Oh, fair enough, I just heard Morrow yapping at Hadron over the vox and assumed it was for us
short story about madam whos or whats it
the ogryn managed to jam a ripper gun in it
well somebody has to tell them
Take pointy end of stick
Sefoni can yell at me any time
They hand prison convict rejects a plasmagun, they can give us a multimelta
u could get a multimelta in rogue trader
also bolters for that matter
I mean we've pretty clearly evolved into a special ops team given train
You could also get eldar weapnry in RT
probably because everyone who didn't survive the suicide missions... didn't survive.
Survivorship bias 
Rejects OP
ye
funniest thing is u can get a singing spear in rt
but its just like bad lol
If a multimelta is too "fragile" for an ogryn, what about a multilas, or heavy bolter?
I would imagine it's the same situation
really? no shit?? 👀
Bolter ain't exactly ripper gun simple
wuh
Idk bolters look pretty sturdy
im just saying its bad lol
where?
i wanted an ogryn in rt
Because they have to be to fire bolts
Doesn't mean they don't need maintenance and constant care
And we ogryns clearly have the intelligence and dexterity to reload a belt fed mg at warp speed under pressure
🤔 actually
Ripper guns look barbaric because they're made to be bashed into enemies and slapped into walls, the way Ogryns do
This is true, our Ogryns seem to be significantly smarter than normal Ogryns given dialogue
The best ogryn could get would be a lascannon
But it’d be difficult to accurately portray what a lascannon is capable of without power creeping gunlugger to hell
that sounds so goofy
Yea srsly. My ogryn (the mean one) has the presence of mind to actually be misanthropic
CHAIN SHIELD
Didn’t they just give ogryn tank Armor cosmetic today
Oh I haven't checked cosmetics 
the sets r ok but theres cool extra stuff on the side
Too expensive
The best stuff imo
Power backpack
Veteran’s prosthetic legs
Shock maul skin
Ogryn body armor
Pickaxes skin
Don’t much care for the rest
this one is funny
damn expensive tho got damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1400 aquilas im not rich
Why can't psykers get normal cosmetics 
satisfactory
i hate paid cosmetics
something normal-looking without the god damned tubes for once PLEASE
If it’s 4 digits in aquila cost and is not Cadian / tempestus scion / lucifer black / tannith , I don’t want it
i am fine with tubes
inb4 they give tubeless collar
They do canonically carry autocannons too.
I don’t think Autocannon is as powerful as lascannon in lore
I could be wrong
get a bigger autocannon
ur so real
1 dodge car sized autocannon
"It ain't a gun if it don't weigh at least 500 pounds"
That’s a regular heavy stubber
oh lol
They’ve shown images of the new weapons in grim protocols
it looks like a kachunkachunk
hey guys will a 420 rating 17% toughness curio give more toughness than a 410 rating 17% toughness curio?
no
no
no decimals
420 is the overall power rating
something else on the other curio is slightly shittier, but it's not that toughness blessing
untrue
You can have a maxed curio at 410
are these named bundles something?
is it just cosmetics or do they have new voicelines or smth
they should give rocks 1% chance to be a brick instead
Spare servo-skull
FatShark create a straightforward game mechanic (impossible)
You can tell FS wanted to do way more with curios but never managed to get there. Which is one of the reasons the overall rating is so weird
Alright siblings
My build in prep for the Force Greatsword
No warp rider?
Depending on the blessings it has, it could get rly spicy
So, Malefic Momentum is basically the same thing, and is quite good on the Illisi
Since the normal attacks count as non warp
and the special does
So you can stack both dmg bonuses rly easy
Then take advantage of Bloodthirsty and Precog for the guanteed fat sword hits at close range
Warp Charges give more CD and Survivability since you have lower than I prefer toughness.
If you wanted to sacrifice Psykinetics aura for less ult uptime but more dmg totally up to you
Or Maleific Momentum, but it is basically a free 20% dmg bonus
20% damage is good but 20% damage twice is more gooderer
Yes, but I personally prefer having more bubble shields up during a match.
Makes it easier to dispose of the ranged
Precognition?
perfect timing
That's literally what it's there for
To get buffed with Precog for free crits without having to build for it
Shred might be better passively, but since you want to spam the special so much anyways
might use this for force gs
ok but why not pick up mettle and perfect timing then
Because I feel they're overkill, the goal isn't crit synergy per se, more so passive dmg and survivability.
I'm certainly hoping the GS isn't just a heavy evis copy
And more like the Illisi's big brother
pickaxe movesets are so jolly
where?
ok they didnt say the movesets were like pickaxes but how they were different like pickaxes per mark
so uh thats slightly different
i would appeciate the pickaxes a lot more if they weren't ogryn
the class that just wants to spam heavies
it takes you away from the heavy spam
ogryn tree so silly
bot with hecking grim how
sometimes the game glitches out and shows people as bots
nah guy left

ig som1 had to keep the grim

Im bad at vermintide
Legend deed, ambient elites. Had to use merc ability a ton because bad
Guys, I realized how much I suck at being a Zealot. I will stick to being a psyker
Also, I still suck as a psyker
Despite my level 820 psyker
I only melee the dogs and mutants
theres your problem
I use dueling sword to fix it
💀
this game is heavy melee unless you're only going to play primarily ranged builds. Even then you still need melee fundamentals if you want to do well

This game is super heavy on ranged
Ranged build
Go play VT2 for melee-heavy gameplay
incorrect
That's a blue build 
whats ranged anyways
ceiling staring build*
Hell yeah
Fuck red weapons
give red weapons unique blessings
bruh
you've played vermitide but dont know melee fundamentals?
if you have like a handful of hours sure
agree to disagree
if they added a ranged only class i'd just hit people with the gun
Psyker literally spamming ranged at every moment of the day, even relying on assail in melee builds
Vet vetting all over the place
Ogryn dakka-ing the monster
Zealot throwing knives everywhere
they have a melee tho lol

it's pretty mixed
Like, yes, you can use melee
but your melee will still be needed, regardless if you're full ranged specced or not
even if its minimal
Sure
Now go play VT2 where melee is the answer to everything
unless you're a dirty javelin player

sienna tho
I mean, sure, but those are super-specific builds
I have never played VT2. Is that bad?
Whereas here, the super-specific builds are for melee 
Also, this is my first FPS game that I actually own
thats all the careers though, its different design from dt
Not really 🤷♂️
Yes
I never said it wasn't a different design
The games are different, unsurprisingly

... or a sienna?
But my point is that VT2 is the actual melee-focused game, Darktide is ranged-focus. That's part of how they differ.
same game im still playing sienna
For someone who goes down almost everytime we play together, I wouldnt talk too much shit on melee
me literally playing every class with melee focus:
So do you 
you know i end up clutching come on
heresy?
the trauma staff equivalent of vt2 also exists (coruscation)
hear say
except it is mildly more acceptable because you need to occasionally melee
coruscation is peak do not compare it to trauma
so you can keep casting
both are degenerate
I seriously need to stop playing and go outside once in a while
After 700 hours I still can't find the fun in playing Psyker. I really hope the upcoming greatsword changes that 😦
it's so good though
once force gs releases its over
swapcancel coruscation my beloved
YOU HAVE 1000 HOURS AND YOU DONT KNOW MELEE FUNDAMENTALS?!!
just stab them idk
I NEVER SAID I HAD TROUBLE WITH MELEE!!!!!!!!! I SAID I SUCK BECAUSE SHIT HAPPENS
My dude
zealot is literally the strongest and most cheese character in the game
like what
I mean you can, but just like in VT2 you can be ranged focus, it's just kinda weird and suboptimal more often than not
maybe not strongest dps wise
psyker has an edge
but for braindead surviabiltiy, theres no other
Vet: exists
maybe voc
I JUST HATE PLAYING A ZEALOT. THAT'S ALL
Zealot has best survivability, but Vet is just best cheeser
but, if you had experience and knew fundamentals... you wouldn't have many problems picking it up
ogryn tree feels so limited
I know the fundamentals. I just hate playing zealot because I love playing psyker. I heavily depend on my ranged weapon instead of my melee weapons. And besides, my fingers get tired after 2 missions of playing zealot
psyker is genuinely really close to being peak
just needs more melee stuff/force gs being peak
you can just play a weapon that you dont have to swing a ton
It is. Hope it gets prioritised over other reworks honestly.
idk which one fatshark mentioned will be next
i do think they did say
I just hate playing zealot. That is all
Ogryn has two builds
Zealot has literally 1
using knife or something sure, but zealot has plenty of braindead weapons where basically all you need to do is repeat melees
heavies
I hope Zealot gets reworked first. The one build they have is dumb and boring.
And yes, I do use a knife for my zealot
zealot is fun but it somehow feels way too frictionless tbh
frictionless?
like i kinda just turn brain off
Looking in this chat longer than a few minutes tells me there's more than one build.
Ogryn doesnt even have a good blitz that isn't his nuke. Which other classes will steal anyway
Rock
I like LMB & RMB for my psyker. It's simple gameplay
I wont have this rock slander
so immediately wrong
maybe power gs can add some more brain thinky to zealot with heat management

Rock
No one runs rock if ain't meme
incorrect
tons of people use iot
Secondly, there's a very clear and optimal Zealot build
its extremely good, staggers monsters
i dont think rocks staggers monsters?
Deviating is a thing, sure, but it's a deviation and not the norm
yes it does
it does?
spawn and plague to the head
it do
zamn
if you hit body probably wont do shit
weakspot hit
ah i forgor bon is stronger to stagger
Ive never seen any of you in ogryn chat as much as me. Opinion invalid I know the often culture better and no one takes rock seriously for good reason
it just kinda is lol

alright dog, i havent played ogryn much recently but i used to be a main. I have like 400 hours on ogryn so check yourself.

yeah slam is worse than soften them up
but rock just kinda good lol
and i dont need soften them up with pickaxe
I dunno what to tell you. Ogg nuke is what all the high level ogryn are wearing these days
also, how much you wanna bet if you asked in ogryn chat if its good, you'd get a lot of people saying yes
Good yes. Over nuke? Lol no
you get 1 nuke
1 nuke to blow up a crowd of shit that a shovel can 1 shot
on my rumbler build i run nuke tho
Nuke has better pathing so it's chosen over rock
You can talk to anyone in ogryn chat if they'd take nuke or rock but ask them in a serious context not in a way of a Joke cause rock funny theyll say nuke I'm confident
And with better pathing i mean literally just soften em up
i really do not need soften them up with pickaxe though
Anything rock is doing btw usually is better achieved with literally anything oggy is running on his secondary
so whats better two handed force blade or two handed power blade?
wym its not out yet
Sure, but you try pathing to inferno grenade or... even worse... stun grenade shudders
If I'm trying to power through PowerUp penance, do you think In Fire Reborn or Psychic Vampire would speed things up more? 🤔
in terms of style?
style? force gs
I see a wide use or stuns and knives both and even immos in my games but shrug penances are a thing I guess
stuns is just kinda fricked over by pathing
I mean, I see people using all blitzes on every class
Doesn't mean BB is good 
so is immolation tbh...
Enemies pathing around the pool of fire 😭
or, heaven-forbid, smokes 🤮
I need to learn more about how to psyker
Smokes are great you shush
right click then left click on the enemy
The people that love smokes are loyal I don't dear bad mouth it anymore
I will bubble you
And then you have to wait 60 seconds just for 1 more 
My bubble too messes with specials 
I mean, shredders or kraks?
Those are good. Smokes exist.
Wait which one is the force gs?
Neither
Those are the zealout power greatswords.
I thought vet was getting those
No.
Did they confirm a new force weapon
Vet isn't getting anything.
uh yea
force greatsword (unironically)
(Yippee!)
Siiiiick
Zealouts are getting 2h power swords, psykers are getting 2h force swords, ogryns are getting a precision stubber.
;-;
Except maybe a 1 hand PS rebalance
It is likely that the vet psword will also get this mechanic.
Whatever ig i still got shovels
I don't understand why it wouldn't.
No more psword spam yippie
Do we have screens for the force gs?
Vets should have the power sword taken anyway
I think the force GS is getting bigger AOE's when charged
Make it zealot exclusive
Next update they will add a bigger dueling sword
Fuck 'em
Give it to me
Why should zealot only have power swords
Somewhere.
might be a projectile
I don't have them, but somebody posted them in zealout chat claiming they were the power greatswords.
we dont really know yet tbh
no, give it to me
people confuse them so much lmao
I said only they should have it, very different
I knew they weren't because power swords and force swords have two different power pack shapes.
those are the power swords yeah
you can tell that the other image has the force sword since one is basically just a 2h version of the obscurus
Yup those are the force greatswords.
if its like the moonlight greatsword from bloodborne, I will love it
And because playing vet is immoral
I pray one of the four greatswords is a copy paste of bret longsword and one is a copy paste of kerillian's greatsword.
Copy pasting weapons from vt2 isn't a terrible idea.
^
Whats the dump stat on the MK IV blaze force sword?
warp res
what melee am i supposed to use then
More people agreed with me i win
Shovel good
Use mk7 shovel
same moveset as standard issue but can 1shot crushers with pick side
slower than SI granted
bare handed
Considerably weaker against hordes though
Well trash isn’t but shit like bruisers will absolutely fuck you up
If you get too lax about it
I think mk7 has been kinda power creeped by DS being available to vet
Eh
(Horrible mistake)
Oh yeah absolutely
Even the flak armored trash isnt that big of an issue, just try to aim for heads and be consistent
If you know to clear properly its not really an issue
I mean the shovels handle hordes significantly better than DS
Just takes a wee bit longer
Hi everyone can someone link a build i just hit 30 and I am still clueless as I am new to the game. Thanks
Neither weapon has particularly great anti horde
What weapons are you running? People can provide builds based on that
They also posted in the ogryn chat
@mossy hill Which character are you playing specifically?
@fiery stratus Psker
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d5f5cb5-afee-4f51-9393-b8429e8c6765/
Here's a beginner's guide to the Inferno staff that should be fairly easy to play.
What does 'Weapon Wield Speed' do with Perilous Assault?
Weapon swap speed
maybe perilous assault was just meant to be point tax
Yes
Lame
Nah force greatsword gonna take 3 seconds to wield 
plz no, meleeker can't handle that point dump
Dev notes did mention agile weapon so probably not
Yeah but it's phrased as a 'unique feature' somehow so it's 
I wonder what their average weapon dev time is
np we will simply never swap off of it
Also I'm pretty sure there isn't a single melee weapon in the game with an equip delay longer than a fraction of a second
Some are actually instant and can be QQ cancelled for some silly things
Like Ogryns Mk4 knife spam or Obscurus light spam
errrm. helbore???
Melee weapon
Unless you're making a joke although the brutal momentum helbore bug has been long fixed sadly
just memeing about helbores generally lol
but yeah their melee potential has diminished greatly
They did get a melee buff a bit after the BM bug nerf
and the equip speed talent is very good on them
Too bad I hate using them so idc
Is it though? The same format is used when they mention the push attack for zealot
It's a notable feature
you mean the sprint stab?
I'm guessing they're gonna be propelled by psyker powers to cut through the air quickly
So even though they're huge they'll attack fast
Sorry the "special attack"
Cuz the sprint stab is a unique feature
we'll see, I don't have any expectations
🤮
sickening
Tossing bricks at you (your sword)
Is Obscurus or Deimos better?
deimos
I actually really like the heavy sword. As long as your other weapon can deal with carapace, hs is dope
@nocturne dust If you want to be more disgusted here's the build 
Staves can't crit, right
Oh right on purg
Purg especially
True aim still isn't that great for it though I assume
Every staff can crit
But true aim is only good for void
What ranged even is that for
Because oh goodness is that some questionable shit
On top of no Deathblow HS
anyone wanna help me with 100%ing the twins penances?
It's a based af build imo
No crutch KD
No cringe assail
That is the opposite of based
No true aim cos I can't aim 
No KD cringelord 🤮
Main reason for me not running KD is to improve my melee game tbf
Fair, but I feel like KD is just a natural part of Psyker melee 🤷♂️
The issue for me is that I want it to be there, but I don't want to expect it to be there because then I hit 100% peril and die from a single rager breaking my block
So I practice without
i see
I can see the logic
i mean you can always run a +3
Your block still gets broken pretty quickly when you're just using stam, especially when the failstate is usually multiple ragers
KD?
kinetic deflection
Yes
Multiple +3 stams + KD + Deflector to get this silliness. #zealot-class message
It's funny.
☹️
how bad is brain rupture
when you dont build around it
i mean it has its niche, you need a suitable build
hmmmmm
you gals like rupturing brains?
worst stat on the flame staff?
Warp Resist
that the worst stat on all staves?
Blast Radius on Voidstrike
it happens
Charge Time on Electrokinetic for M1 builds
Absolutely obliterated
BB is nice for a really squirrely special or when a sniper is basically cheating so you cheat back. A fully invested in EP BB build can do decent boss damage, and do it safely from range.
BUT BB is very slow without everything buffing it. It struggles in a competent team. Because of that, it's generally not good. It does cover gaps in some builds like purg and trauma. KF (BB mod) was buffed, and a lot of people are taking BB for KF right now.
I played one where a guy was clutching, got grabbed by chaos spawn, and thrown through the ceiling. 
Failed two mostly melees in a row. Had a zealot who came back and needed to go back to damnation. Then the second game someone was smiting the entire time. 
also I got killed by silent poxburster while trying to clutch, after killing everything else. 
had chaos spawn, kiting, then random burster with no audio until the jump 
perfectly functional
does anyone know if i can get the malleus monstronum penance without needing someone for a private group?
you need private
Yeah, lots of people know
@prime river if it says it has to be done in a private game, it does. Need at least one other person to start it.
🎵 Tale as old as time 🎵
is warp splitting nessecary on voidstrike staff and also does it effect assail
Yes it affects assail
And while not necessary it’s really good
100% cleave for free for 10 seconds while also having massively boosted damage is a trip
hell yeah
(This is assuming you take Scriers Gaze)
im taking shriek
Alright no free bowling or damage
who has us at a disadvantage?
Shriek is unaffected as an AoE volume
But typically VS routes right side as it has all the crit/weakspot related perks
Scriers, DD, prescience
Best void build
hell yeah i was running this pretty much exaclty
It arguably should have prescience over seer's
im not convinced on souldrinker exacftly on this build yet
If you're the only psyker you could argue its reasonable to drop it, but if there's atleast one other psyker with even just perilous combustion its absolutely worth it
oh didnt think of that
Just like In Fire Reborn
makes a shriek on a horde pretty nice toughness regen too i suppose
Except that in fire reborn doesn't require the killing blow to be soulblaze iirc
Yep amazing toughness regen
voidstrike shriek
Oh well shriek voidstrike is pretty boring, I was talking about voidstrike builds in general, the shriekstrike I have doesn't have any significant difference 
Scrier's Strike is much more fun and earns comparable damage numbers once you get the timing on balls for 1-shots correct 
at least imo
lets see that build
Do you want the unhinged version or the vanilla?
lol both
Also the emergency 10 seconds of unhindered bowling
is that a mod that tracks scriers 10 secons
There is a mod, yes
and vanilla?
One sec, I don't even have vanilla saved 
wahts the mod called i need it
I just use a priority bar that grabs keystone, certain combat abilities, and weapon blessings
And sticks them just above the peril gauge
This one has two free points to put where you like (I put them in the assail nodes)
You can also switch from Anticipation to EE
but I find Anticipation significantly more helpful to stall while charging Voidstrike
im new to psyker but its good to see my ideas are close to those of more experienced psykers
I mean Voidstrike is probably the most versatile-ly built staff
ive had the best success with inferno
Trauma and EK both really want a specific build to perform well (which is left side), and Inferno just... performs. 
Inferno just works
It’s because the damage is a DoT
Which has some pretty sick adm’s if I remember
(I know you know this void)
Of the staves, I would put EK as the strongest (but also the most finicky and constrained build for its position as strongest), Inferno second, Trauma 3rd (but also safest once you know how to use it), and Voidstrike 4th.
But all of them are powerful.
And Voidstrike is my favorite 
Yeth
i hope we get a beam staff or a fireball one
We already have fireball
I like all the staves 
How dare you
Fatshark gib more
thats not a fireball
Fatshark gib shrapnel and blackhole staff
lobbing porjectile with explosion which sets enemies on fire
Fireball shot a piercing projectile that eventually exploded
Sound familiar?
soooooo fire trauma

trauma is conflagaration
I just want Beam back
i know sienna staffs played bm for a long time
And?
no fireball
It can subsume multiple Sienna staves into its unholy frame
Beam would be neat if it was reworked as a charge up death beam
livestealer staff would be funny from necromancer update
A big boss damage staff would be nice but
Live Brain Burst reaction
Beam wasn't my thing.
you used it on burn build for special sniping
Gib Kerillian floaty staff 
I'm aware. I knew how to use it.
I liked the shotgun attack on beam
Real fun to just
Unleash
And watch stuff fold
hope we get something similar to fire sword which does with every heavy attack soulblaze
We have that (discount)
(major discount)
?
Just run bloodthirsty blazing spirit illisi and cry
Or FGS when it comes out
Mmmmmmmmm I bet it will be Flame Illisi 2.0
I mostly mean the special
It sounds like either big fucking swing or straight up Moonlight Greatsword
I swear to the heavens above if the special is another stupid charge special I'm going to... be unhappy 
I mean it depends
Like thrust the blessing?
If it's like its own attack that you just hold
im bout too do sum funky stuff
That would be fine
Yes
That’s what it sounds like
I think the tiers refers to the scaling with peril bit
To me at least
I just dislike charging and then using a normal attack BuT nOw It iS BlUe (or making noise)
Man I can't read today
toxic ahhhhhh
Come back when you play Darktide.
dont talk to my pookie like that
He likes it tho.
Yeah but i know you like to hear it

him and i were literally doing duo auric maels

I play all the time I just exclude you
and were you succeeding?



im offended you have to ask
You can't exclude me if I exclude myself. 



what is best ek build
Estrogen, it'll help you get that "ek" out just right

my pov is better
Electrokinetic
I will end this world
Times change, old man
We've crossed over the point of no return

No, because I don't want to encourge buying COD.

bo6 is fun

im a quickscope god
similar to my normal burn build huh
Yes
bros speaking from experience
Every staff builds the saaaammmmmeeee (except Voidstrike)
🤮
You know, I was thinking of replying with an old COD reference but it, like COD, ain't worth my time anymore 
Too old?
i am
Psykers when low on hp:
Neat. Now lets see Havoc gameplay.
Is it out yet?
Always has been
Nothing like oneshotting mobs with Blazing Spirit + Wildfire and it doesn't even spread 
Nope, PC + shriek (and melee) is your horde clear
You delete elites, they ignite everyone around them
and then you shriek too
Blazing Spirit on force sword must be the biggest letdown I have ever witnessed
Fuck smite
I kinda like blazing trauma
Well, barring maybe some cheesey builds I have no interest in examining
the CC is so good
like lmb macro
It is indeed good 
Try this
No no
Yes Yes
Try this
I run exatly this build
KD waste of space
Lies and deception
No In Fire Reborn
?`?????
Blazing trauma
No in fire reborn
Please explain yourself
I run dueling sword so KD is a waste of space
I've examined the warp charge rate and In Fire Reborn on Blazimg Trauma is less consistent but slightly more common than the other option.
I prefer consistency.
The boss about to smack through your face:
Dodge slide while blocking
I know the dance. I don't need to 'block'.
Literally never had a proper use of KD except for blocking in a corner -> get 84% peril -> Vent
Your block almost immediately breaks because you're using dueling sword 
use 1 stam curio
I don't waste 3x of my curio slots on toughness regen, I have 3x stam regen

I don't run in fire reborn with blaze trauma.
Now that is really bad
this is what I run too
Not a chance
Also this blaze trauma build doesn't have 5% free crit chance 😮
If you just stand there and block while picking your nose yes
I never run out of toughness unless something oneshots me
Chaos Spawn about to hit them with the bap bap bap:
Can't hit you if you slide backwards
It's a trick the elites don't want you to know
you just dodge backwards 3 times
You can take away the toughness on elite / warp charge for 5% crit
Honestly doesn't make a huge difference
I feel like in fire reborn does more when you need warp charges
I mean, the point is that you're out of dodges or else, yeh, why block?
Aye you do you boo.
while the other one lets you accumulate charges when it doesn't matter as much
I am just realy good blaze trauma guy even though I fell out of love with the staff.
I skipped kinetic flayer
You should take it. Really strong now.
Imagine not loving every staff
Kinetic Flayer based
Soulblaze amplifier.
I hate bowling ball staff
but its less consistent than 5% flat crit, right?
1 mil damage with blaze trauma in melee scab only / hishock. Same build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn9nsqPCfEw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lyN5CY5Le8
One weapon can just ruin a whole game mode. It's fun to play (for me) but I bet it's not fun for others. I rarely ever play psyker/blaze trauma in melee scab only because of this. Much more fun to play this mode on other 3 classes.
Patch 1.5.10
Smelter Complex HL-17-36 · Repair · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet (Melee Scab Enemies ...
Blaze Trauma (Voidblast) was kind of mid with the Unlocked and Loaded update because blazing spirits t4 is a meme. But with the fixed Kinetic Flayer, it really glows up. The shock wave dealing tiny damage can proc KF on an elite to get the soulblaze train going. Chu Chu Chu!!!
Patch 1.5.3
Vigil Station Oblivium · Espionage · Damnation · Infected...
Drop the toughness regen on getting a warp charge instead
KD 
KD 
Blaze trauma the only staff I don't run KD on.
Needed the 6 warp charges for more creeping flames spam.
You're not killing enough elites then.
Well yeah

never helped me once
It helps a lot when solo clutching.
Switch to melee and block when needed, Q.E.D.
I mean I'm alright. This node is there for those who are not good at dodging and have no mobility game to save their asses.
uhuh

It's tru I am really bad. 
It's true, I can attest. You don't even hit 1 million damage when other players aren't braindead. Smh my head.
WTB bad players I can look good.
Paid actors. 

Gib me money and I'll switch to my highly-skilled vet gameplay where I don't do anything and explode into a pile of flesh paste 
you'll at least explode
It's tru that if you're pro you won't need KD. But it's super helpful when teammates all die and I have to carry (which is semi-often).
Not always needed but you'll be grateful when the situation arises.
I mean, you don't need KD but you don't need a talent tree either 
It's an incredibly useful node for a single talent point from my view
I take it on 9/10 builds so it's pretty good in my eyes.
I have no nodes to skip for KD xd
I would drop a lot to keep KD
Warp Battery is super meh, Kinetic Flayer is just barely above that
Heck I might even get rid of wildfire over losing KD
15% cd on ult and -12% peril generation is meh?
Warp Battery is 2 stacks
that is some level of love]
and also, it's not -peril gen
unless you take that node
but ER exists and is better
each stack is 7.5% cd and 6% peril generation
and more consistent too
Or when dh randomly aggro me it's nice to have kd xd
It's not peril gen without a sub node
and you don't even have that sub node
but I take that node
let alone me
I like it on trauma
why? is it not additive?
and even worse, it's inconsistent because you're constantly expending stacks
It is not additive
Eeehhh only in a thick fight but I don't worry about thick fights, those are easy
The bad fights are the ones where you've got a lot of ranged barrelling down on you and no real way to get rid of them quickly
and kd will help me how?
Lets you tank bosses including DH, lets you get in revives, lets you have wicked mobility by using dodges to move rather than using them to avoid attacks
There's quite a number of uses
Also lets you generate peril while avoiding damage in a corner
Sure. And then you run out of dodges or you save some. Either way it's less efficient.
It also lets you effectively ignore stamina almost entirely
No wasting your curios on stam regen
but I already ignore stamina cuz its regenerating very quickly
3x stam regen works wonders in that
Well for one, it doesn't actually make you move faster
Dodge-sliding on Psyker is infinitely doable
or not dodge-sliding
what is the point of taking toughness regen + KD if I can mostly ignore damage by sliding/dodging?
slide spamming
Because when you do take damage, stamina ain't gonna be the thing saving you
unless you're telling me you never take damage

So I'll be safe from stunlocks if I'll take KD, right?
wut is KD
I'm not saying you need to take toughness regen, but there are a lot of good curio perks and stam regen on Psyker isn't one of them.
Kinetic Deflection
Yea I run CDR on psyker
I take very little usually. Unless I misplay and find myself horribly out of position.
Safer from Rager stuns, yes. You also have more room on your curios for things like gunner res.
is that a talent
No stam regene
Yes, bottom right
I don't take gunner res. I dodge.
Ragers can't get to me cuz of trauma stuns.
Sure, and I regularly take sub-100 damage on aurics. I still take KD.
I run both
1x Gunner res is good in situations where you wanna trade
Ew
Or it gives you the ability to trade with them
For one, ragers are silent
Mainly for voidstaff
they are very visible
You can keep your head on a swivel but being mid-rager combo and trying to cast will suck
Yeah, most ragers just alt+f4. Rarely get them to use their mic.
