it’d also be basically useless the moment a mauler, ogryn, boss spawned

#

yeah

#

i waffle constantly between HT + Deci/BM

#

both are fun and both work

#

you wanna learn the moveset and get really good at pacing yourself before taking decimator though, otherwise its only gonna serve you for stupid thick hordes, and at that point you shouldve just taken BM

im not doing enough dmg as psyker and its annoying tf outta me

does warp splitting, the bonus cleave skill, effect staff attacks? namely primary fire?

I finally modded Darktide after being lazy for a long time…What’s the Psyker mod that shows the extra % of his peril?

jovial juniper
#

0.25 goes to 0.5

thorn cedar
#

ye

#

warp splitter works on everything that has a cleave value

#

the only actual exception is assail which doesnt use hitmass but still gets boosted anyway

#

still wondering if that's something they're gonna nerf

unkempt knoll
#

but the bleed on crit wasent doin enough

#

the speed was great

#

but the dmg was nothing

#

so ive been expermenting with other weapons

#

worst part is im pretty much just playing it as a diet zealot but AOE

So wanted to ask.

You just want to force me into another loading screen staregryn

Ahh, the infinite loading screen

its not exclusive to xbox

i had them alot previous patches

If it's even worth it.

imma be real i just cant play psyker i do so much more on the other classes

pliant hatch
#

Psyker seems to have the highest skill ceiling.

unkempt knoll
#

i do way more with an ogryn PBF then i do with smite psyker

#

atlest i fuckin kill em instead of tickling em

plucky flax
#

It'll be really weird. But tbh you don't need to do that tech.

unkempt knoll

gonna try redoing my skills

Just play normally with surge it's so op.

unkempt knoll

gonna try brain blast

Should I swap Nexus so I can still charge fast?

#

When using charged secondary on zap staff, I notice I'm doing more damage with each chained attack on a crusher, in psyk... is there a rending effect on zap? (no talents)

And if you don't mind the question, why HP on the psyker curios?

plucky flax
pliant hatch
#

AH!

#

Apologies.

#

I'm new at staff psyker, only know gunpsyker.

plucky flax
#

I like big hp because of my own preference. Curios are super personal.

#

Also I don't shy away from grabbing grims in hishock so the hp helps there too.

clear heath
#

wow a fellow cdr curio enjoyer

pliant hatch
#

CDR on everything.

clear heath
#

i find that cdr curios are overhyped outside this server, and overhated here

nocturne dust

Overhated?

#

Literally just me Sitgryn

I've seen a lot of people shitting on cdr curios here

I think they're just fine

and like, all of zealot chat will rip you to shreds for using them

Never for veteran since veteran has toughness on demand.

better options

pliant hatch

I think cdr is a good filler option once you have enough of everything else you care about

pliant hatch
#

Or scryer more.

#

Toughness is always something I take.

nocturne dust

so very meh

Like once you have enough gunner res to stop caring about them, toughness perks, the 1x sniper if you care about that

It does stack poorly with them

but i'll still take it

pliant hatch

Me with top damage every game using cdr must be gud.

clear heath
#

1 second off 10 seconds sounds like a low amount of time, but that's still a lot more shrieks

I'd always use CDR

more damage

Also always use toughness.

You get less value in terms of seconds off your cooldown, but it's still the same % more shrieks

wind spruce
#

So it scales multiplicatively

upper sun
#

@marble crater that was actually disgusting

clear heath
#

It doesn't matter if i'm losing 3 seconds off 30 or 1 second off 10, i'm still screaming 12% more. I don't see this as dimiinishing returns or anything

between the smyker and the zealot we had no game

#

I scream for damage

upper sun
wind spruce
#

It's definitionally diminishing returns

clear heath
#

so basically always

#

The % of shrieks gained per effect is not diminishing

marble crater
plucky flax
upper sun
nocturne dust
#

I scream off cooldown but a few seconds off aren't going to help much imo.

upper sun
#

what do you wanna do?

wind spruce
clear heath
# wind spruce It's definitionally diminishing returns

Diminishing returns is a matter of what value you focus on. Technically DR curios are dimishing per raw amount of damage you take per perk, but it's an exponential gain of effective hp and time survived against that damage type

marble crater
jovial juniper
nocturne dust
#

It's linear

clear heath
#

It's actually not linear in terms of how long you can survive against a gunner

upper sun
#

@marble crater ok this is gonna be hard

God Emperor says it's okay to be racist, I know because this book from the High Lords of Terra with the God Emperor's official stamp of approval on it said so

unkempt knoll
#

its not "racist" im just a human supremist as the emperor inteded

clear heath
# nocturne dust It's specifically not exponential because it's diminishing

Say you survive 1 second against a gunner.
1 curio perk means you have 20% dr. 1/0.8 = 1.25 You live 1.25 seconds
2 perks gives you 36% dr. 1/0.64 = 1.5625, so 1.5625 seconds
3 perks gives you 51.2% dr. 1/0.488 = 2.049 seconds
Each curio perk is a multiplicative 1.25x increase to survivability. Your time survived would be 1.25^(gunner_perk). Yes it's exponential
And yes, you can observe actual evidence of it working this way. Someone actually tested time survived against gunner here.

So yes, survivability against gunners actually does go up more and more per perk you get

clear heath
#

The only reason I don't grab all gunner res is because at some point, you just stop giving a shit about the enemy type

nocturne dust
#

So you're telling me I'm not crazy for taking 3x gunner perks? pogryn

clear heath
#

yes

plucky flax
clear heath
#

Grab as much gunner res as you find comfortable, until you don't consider them threatening

#

For me on psyker, that is 2

#

on zealot i grab 1

plucky flax
#

Kill all orcs and eldars.

shadow wigeon
# wind spruce No

Looks like it was just variance in the damage that happened to look like it was scaling up. I didn't realize how much the individual damage applied to each target varies shot to shot.

nocturne dust
#

I want a version of Darktide where we play as the Tau and fight the Imperium

clear heath
# clear heath Say you survive 1 second against a gunner. 1 curio perk means you have 20% dr. ...

Anyways, this is why i consider it important to consider which variable you care about when talking about diminishing returns.
For something that's single shot, like sniper res, you're usually just looking at damage taken from single bullet, so yes there's relevant diminishing returns there.
But that's not exactly relevant for gunners. For those, you're trying to see how much time you can gain to react against them, which grows per perk

#

people talking about diminishing returns when talking about DR is my pet peeve because usually it's not relevant

Getting back into darktide after a long time and I'm leveling psyker, what weapons end up being pretty good? Like, ideally what should I be going for ?

So far I like staff and force sword especially

@marble crater your time on ogryn and my time on psyker make for good coordination

ye we handled the mixed hoard part from 3 different doors well enough

marble crater
#

And then disaster struck, we will get it next time loregryn

radiant frigate
#

@upper sun so i logged on ogryn for the first time after your little.. "experiment"

#

my game crashed from the notifications of 500 pickaxes

marble crater
#

Why did you have 500 pickaxe notifications?

radiant frigate
#

because i spend 5 million dockets on pickaxes a while back

#

and i did it through the armory menu from character select

#

which does not summon notifications

marble crater
#

You are either addicted to pickaxes, or really unlucky

radiant frigate
#

it was for science

#

clad wanted the base stats to put into a spreadsheet

marble crater
ebon nymph
#

Burning Spirit or Unstable power?

radiant frigate
#

if these are the options then unstable

ebon nymph
#

Elaborate

#

Qualify

marble crater
#

I don't even know what these options are for

radiant frigate
#

blazing spirit on force swords is no bueno

ebon nymph
#

Why

marble crater
#

Because by the time things die from burning they are already dead from you hitting them

ebon nymph
#

What about enemies like maulers and crushers and such where i can hit their heads but not do a lot of damage

marble crater
#

Then you are low key trolling staregryn

clear heath
#

They'll still die before the soulblaze does relevant damage

upper sun
marble crater
#

If you want fire and deal with maulers and crushers play inferno or voidblast with a dueling sword loregryn

clear heath
#

Force sword should kill maulers just fine too, so really it's just a question of bosses and crushers

marble crater
clear heath
#

And for crushers, it won't even work without uncanny

#

Deimos is probably still killing crushers before soulblaze matters too

#

So really it's just if you're mashing blazing spirit uncanny illisi into a crusher
Which is borderline trolling

mint sluice
#

Is that one blessing for force sword that blocks bullets any good? It looks really cool

clear heath
#

No but i take it because it's cool

marble crater
#

It's good at what it does and cool yes

clear heath
#

You will usually get more value out of more damage. Situations where you absolutely need to block bullets aren't that common. Can generally dodge or position better

But deflector is funny tho

clear heath

I wonder if the new force swords will have it as a blessing

clear heath
#

I think i remember that being a bug on illisi/diemos yeah

radiant frigate
#

i was there at release and after talent trees

zinc phoenix
clear heath
#

Vaguely remember people speculating that maybe force swords were coded with deflector as a baseline thing when we saw the bugged force swords

olive ember
#

It was also a thing at launch when deflector applied for reviving people with force sword out. So you could revive in the middle of a hoard of shooters. That was also pretty funny.

20 gunners would still just delete you tho

olive ember
#

I mean I know, but hey just saying should've just kept it kekw

clear heath
#

i miss deflector revives too

zinc phoenix
#

Yeah it’s not a bug I had an issue with

olive ember
#

But anyways, I honestly wish they just reworked deflector and gave force swords a block that can stop ranged by default

zinc phoenix
#

I wish they’d ditch the support concept for psyker and make the centerline tree melee oriented

upper sun
#

i wish they'd ditch support concepts for all classes

olive ember
#

Psyker melee is still a bit weird ngl. Like ik its an entire playstyle to run shit like scriers gaze with ds4 but imo if I wanna run melee psyker I could achieve the same effect with half the effort on a zealot or even shout vet

zinc phoenix
#

Vet centerline is honestly really good 😂

clear heath
#

I just want smite reworked

zinc phoenix
#

You murder good

clear heath
#

I don't even care if it stays support. I just want it more interesting than just hold a button

#

Like maybe cooldown/charges like assail

zinc phoenix
#

I want a mobility thing instead of smite

olive ember
#

It's kinda funny cuz isn't the optimal way to use smite basically to tap it for the knock down?

Holding it is only really used if you plan to actually kill shit with smite for wte reason right

zinc phoenix
#

Yes

clear heath
#

It still incentivizes holding by spreading more when you hold it longer

Like I remember people in the Vermintide 2 sub insisting that teamwork was dead if weapons and characters/talents didn't have hard separation between specific roles.

For some reason they were still unconvinced when I showed them Left 4 Dead and said "Behold: A game with no teamwork!"

jovial juniper
#

Tapping for CCing

#

Or hold for killing

#

Or are you going to tell me it's build dependant?

#

Because I'll take that

olive ember
clear heath
#

depends on if you took EP

olive ember
#

If you run something like pygex's lmb spam build, you are utilizing EP smite as hoard clear, cuz the rest of your kit is based around lmb spam single target surge staff.

At best you can run something like the hsword or wte hoard clear melee psyker uses nowadays

#

But pmuch any other staff build I'd say smite is only really used for CC. imo at least

#

what weps, talents etc?

#

they got reset cuz i haven't played in a while

upper sun
#

they got reset because the tree was changed

#

but yeah assail is gonna do more damage than weapons before you level what higui posted is good

jovial juniper

Hmmm I should've pointed what should be taken after those 23 points

kindred edge
#

What's the most ammo efficient ranged weapon for a gunker?

#

I want to try the build but don't want to be an ammo vacuum

upper galleon
#

probably a viag or the high damage recon

#

the way you supplement ammo is to use assail

jovial juniper
#

A lot

kindred edge
#

Right, well, my plan is to use SG to build peril while I shoot, then swap to assail at 100% peril and just dump all shards with Warp Unbound.

nocturne dust
kindred edge
#

Okay. Sounds like I really just need to use assail more lol

nocturne dust
#

That normally happens on Vraks or Recon if I'm spamming assail

#

Only really pull out the guns for bosses really KEKW_ogryn

#

but I also invest in assail more than most gunker builds

kindred edge
#

Okay. I've got a godroll recon, so I'll try out maybe Hsword + recon + assail, and just use assail more than I have been.

nocturne dust
#

I normally use Illisi as melee and do the typical "gunker is assailker is meleeker" hybrid shenanigans

#

Can't speak much for Hsword since I hate that sword

kindred edge
#

Ah, yeah, okay, so I can use Illisi to build perils if need be.

#

Hsword IX is so good though.

Hsword on psyker just ain't good though imo, feels awful

# haughty star mastering everything takes a REALLY large amount of resources

IIRC it takes around 300k Dockets and 3000 Plasteel to master a weapon from zero to full, if you are purely doing it by buying grey items from Brunt's and upgrading them to Green to sacrifice (you get the same value from any quality so no point going to Blue or higher).

There are what, 58 weapons in the game? 17.4M Dockets and 174k Plasteel

(I am not good at it rn lol)

it's shrimple

you see something that attacks you and you press special

it has lingering block during the counterstrike now

with KD you can counterstrike rager packs to death

Force Greatsword has cleave like Achlys combat axe H1

#

I do wonder how Heavy Power sword will work

nocturne dust
#

Like normal power sword

#

I imagine based on the description it will toggle into a charged state that makes it stronger than normal powersword, but then overheats and has a cooldown where's it's a mediocre weapon.

I barely play anything besides bistol anymore, some surge

I recently swapped out assail cleave for warp splitting.

Seems to be more efficient with weaving.

summer prairie

I run both

plucky flax

On my recon las gazer build I run both together though. But on bistol I use creeping flames so points are limited.

with DD?

@summer prairie there's this recoil fix mod. I tried it with bistol but I don't think it does anything?

Scam mod.

But it lets me aim easier.

#

Veri op

#

(cheat)

upper sun
#

i only played voidstrike for the week where it had different crosshairs

summer prairie
#

I saw it but didn't try it. I did notice when testing recoil at some point that the pointer sometimes suddenly snaps to a different position instead of moving smoothly

plucky flax
#

The preview video was done in meatgrinder but that's always going to be different from real game.

#

I tried it and I honestly can't tell if it does anything. Bistol sometimes still does the funny jerk.

summer prairie
#

Apparently recoil gets validated serverside, the mod might make it look visually different though

So you’d pick between being a beefcake who can’t go as hard on staff spam or a fragile butterfly who can staff their merry little balls off

Idk, to me it’s important to offer big dramatic playstyle options more than boring ass “+1% to being more gooder”

steel flame
#

Won't lie psyker kinda does that the best with their tree already

plucky flax
steel flame
#

Better than the 20 impact perks ogryn has in his already small skill tree

#

God forbid they give him something interesting that isn't more conditional impact damage

#

Do a spinning handstand into a quad backflip and you MIGHT be allowed to deal 10% more impact on your heavy attacks

nocturne dust
#

for more impact

nocturne dust
#

More drastic and interesting passive nodes would be cool. Other than ER, the only blue node on the tree that changes how things feel for me is, funnily enough, Anticipation. Mainly because of the dodge duration boost. Messes with my timing.

Mk4 imo, mk2 is a bit better against hordes though. Mk4 for big targets

MkII for horde, MKIV for elite deletion, MKV for defense

but lets be honest IV is just best

MkV for falling off ledges

Wait how is mk 2 better for hordes? Out of curiosity

heavy 2 has cleave and better damage than light spam

I’m not at my PC. What is the power up difference between all of the force swords?

deimos and obscurus are the same (start a channel on the first target hit and then blow their noggin off)
illisi's empower makes the next swing more powerful overall, more stagger, more cleave, more damage

relationship ended with blazing trauma

i finally fell in love with surge

Blazing trauma is meh

tulip kettle

sorry electro

Surge is easy, voidstrike is Bae, and inferno is slow and boring

#

Is how I rate them

tulip kettle
#

ive hated surge since day 1

#

but i forced myself to play it this weekend and i finally like it

haughty star
#

Surge is so easy lol. There are instances where voidstrike will out pace it and inferno will always out horde it but it's really strong for special and elite mitigation

tulip kettle
#

i mean all of the staves are really good lets be honest

#

i dont like inferno because of the lack of balls on lmb but otherwise they all perform really well

haughty star
#

Most have a pretty directly more powerful version that consumes ammo

tulip kettle
#

surge was never about how good it was for me, i just didnt like it

#

it was weird how quiet it is for one thing

haughty star
#

Flamer is deffo more powerful tit for tat but ammo, plasma is better than VS but ammo, etc

fathom adder
#

Trauma Voidblast is decent if you like safety more than fun

tulip kettle
#

i mean blazing trauma puts out numbers like no other staff and is also safe at the same time, i agree

#

then you go in with nurgles blessing and get fucked instantly because of the bad habits trauma has let you develop

haughty star

I learned this yesterday thinking I could cheese one with a EP build lol

Ep smite does not fare well in gurgles blessing

yup burgles blessing is the worst modifier imo

complewtely changes the game

cant stagger ragers

#

does the surge blessing ever proc on charged electro shots? i couldnt really tell or ever notice it happening

clear heath
#

no

#

balls only

tulip kettle
#

thought so

haughty star
#

Yeah no unless you use lmb alot it's nexus and flurry all the way for surge staff

tulip kettle
#

i do use lmb a lot which is why i was experimenting with it

haughty star
#

There is builds centered around using the quell cancel mod or the in game double bind or macro for it

tulip kettle
#

charges so fast anyway

#

was honestly considering run n gun for the memes

haughty star
#

Like, DD and shit

#

Surge blessing on surge stave will quell cancel nonsense is fun as hell but people here don't like it

any insights why sometimes the secondary rmb target takes considerable dmg but normally just gets tickles

#

I didn’t invest in soul blaze though

#

Not sure if it’s worth of going primarily right side

haughty star
#

Perilous is always worth

thorn cedar
#

Perilous is borderline mandatory

haughty star
#

Its a free 3 stacks of soulblaze for anything around it. It helps single target things light right side psyker excel at crowd clear

prime elk
#

eh

#

at low stacks it hardly does shit

#

maybe i'll test at some point, but eh

marble crater
#

Perilous my beloved

haughty star
#

3 stacks melts all the ads around it, 6 stacks starts melting all the other specials and elites.. hardly not shit imo lol

thorn cedar
#

its five stacks before it starts to do anything, assuming you have no other bonuses running

#

but that's two elite/special kills

#

out of the ten shotgunners you are staring at

#

it's stupid strong

patent mango
#

perilous is jolly

haughty star
#

3 is fairly decent for the unarmored dudes. 5 or 6 will start burning down specials and shit

thorn cedar
#

6 stacks doesnt even kill a dreg bruiser

#

but again that doesnt really matter, you arent going to "only" get six stacks. one well placed revolver shot can get you 12 stacks out instantly

late sapphire
thorn cedar
#

thats four stacks of MM

#

that buffs your soulblaze

#

and then the soulblaze buffs your guns and melee

#

because MM again

#

its a disgusting feedback loop

late sapphire
#

pc is just peak because it scales with how much trouble you are in

#

ok if you are killing 4 bruisers it doesn't do anything

#

but then you face a mauler patrol and you kill 6 and the other 12 just die on their own and you piss n shit yourself from joy

haughty star
#

Kill 3 ragers and all the rahers just start dying

#

I really like rlg and perilous just makes that thing dummy thicc
