psyker-class

[dense elm]

ok its not brittle its terrifying barrage

[wise mural]

Brittleness is such a good help to those that use mainly melee, just spread those flames and get 20% brittleness and venting shriek to stack soulblaze, brain pop specials for more spread

[plucky flax]

Play blaze away nexus on inferno/burga staff.

The brittleness talent's damage increase is nothing in comparison.

[spice flame]

Was about to say that

[hazy moss]

I LOVE THE VOID STAFF I LOVE THE VOID STAFF

I LOVE BIG BALLS

[dense elm]

imma try and hit level 30 then get good blessings

[wise mural]

I have mastery on all the staves and I love all of them equally really, they each have their niche

[hazy moss]

what would u say the nice for the void staff is?

[wise mural]

strike or blast?

[hazy moss]

strike

[spice flame]

balls

[plucky flax]

Play bistol is the coolest.

[hazy moss]

blast is trauma

[hazy moss]

I LOVE BALLS

only thing better than 1 big ball are 2 big balls

[wise mural]

my balls are firey

and hit head hard

[spice flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT37cLwTpek

[hazy moss]

running ball staff on train mission and sending big balls down the train to clear elites is just so

[dense elm]

wait what about psyker balls

[wise mural]

Void staff

big balls do big boom damage

[hazy moss]

serious damage

https://tenor.com/view/damage-thats-a-lot-of-damage-jon-tron-gif-13054497

me when i hit a crusher with two fully charged crit BALLS

thanks to surge*

[wise mural]

Should I make the switch to two balls instead of my firey one?

[spice flame]

I mean, try it

the playstyles are widly different

(but please, also try to switch the brittleness blessing with Blaze away + warp nexus on inferno staff)

[wise mural]

current playstyle with void staff is artillerist/special targeter with Warp Nexus and Blazing

[hazy moss]

bro

[spice flame]

Voidblast is usually warp + Surge

[hazy moss]

imagine running britleness on the fire staff 💀 😂

[spice flame]

ikr

[hazy moss]

out of the staves id say voidstrike is the hardest to use, its not like the fire staff much, give it a spin but dont expect too much, it takes some investment and practice to see the voidstrike rlly shine

[wise mural]

I have used literally all the staves

I know how each of them work

[hazy moss]

you might know how each of them work

but do you KNOW how each of them work

[wise mural]

brittleness helps with armor pen, I dont do SHIT do carapace, so Brittleness helps with the teamates and myself who can when using inferno staff

[analog agate]

You use dsiv for boss dmg if you do bistol? Or is bolt pistol fine at it

[mossy oyster]

Staves fucking suck

[hazy moss]

not if youre shooting big balls out of them

[mossy oyster]

not very appealing

[hazy moss]

you dont like big balls?!

[mossy oyster]

you may as a 40k fan but no I’m just a darktide player

[hazy moss]

you sound like you like big balls deep down

[spice flame]

Hmm, You're losing damage accross the board, the only enemy you're hitting with carapace is Crusher (as you said), but, just use deimos or DS to manage them

[mossy oyster]

can you sale pitch staves

cause I think they fucking blow

[hazy moss]

i gotchu

[mossy oyster]

don’t see an appeal or point

[wise mural]

DeimosStan anyways so, but I will try blaze away

[fiery stratus]

heretical penis again

[spice flame]

But, I mean, wtv works for you ofc

[analog agate]

Infinite ammo. Infinite cleave on trauma. Sales pitch done

[hazy moss]

i asked chatgpt, heres what it said

"Unleash the Warp: Why You Need a Force Staff in Darktide"

Are you tired of being swarmed by hordes of heretics and lacking the tools to control the battlefield? The Force Staff is your ultimate solution. Here's why you should make it your weapon of choice:

Crowd Control Mastery:
Force staves excel at clearing hordes. Whether it's the powerful AOE blasts of the Purgatus staff or the precision elimination of the Voidstrike, you’ll mow through enemies like a true Psyker hero.

Range and Utility:
Stuck behind enemy lines or supporting your team from a distance? The Force Staff gives you unparalleled versatility. Stun elites, control choke points, and keep your team breathing easy with tactical warp power.

Damage Scaling with Brain Burst:
Pair your staff with Brain Burst to devastate even the tankiest foes. Clear the weaklings with your staff, then focus your mind to obliterate bosses and elites. It’s a perfect synergy of AOE and single-target power.

Energy Management:
Forget ammunition! The Force Staff’s power is limited only by your Peril management. With proper pacing, you’ll never be caught out of resources in the heat of battle.

Style Points:
Nothing screams Psyker like a glowing, warp-infused staff that vaporizes enemies. It’s not just a weapon; it’s a statement.

Pro Tips for Mastering Force Staves:

Use the Surge Staff for stunning groups of ranged enemies, making it easier for your team to close the gap.
The Purgatus Staff excels at melting hordes while leaving a satisfying trail of fire in its wake.
The Voidstrike Staff allows for long-range, charged shots to penetrate enemies, hitting multiple foes at once.
With a force staff in your hands, you’re not just a Psyker—you’re a game-changer. Equip one, and show the heretics the true power of the Warp!

There’s plenty of ammo in every map imo

[mossy oyster]

as long as every single person doesn’t go in red

[patent mango]

bistol is so ammo efficient that i dont need to care

[patent mango]

ai is terrible yea

[hazy moss]

guys i think @mossy oyster is rage baiting

10/10 troll bait

[analog agate]

paradise doesn’t use staves though. So he ain’t lying

[mossy oyster]

everyone can shoot their gun and there would still be enough ammo in the map if no one went to 0

[spice flame]

idk why but I'm annoyed that "Bistol" is a thing

don't ask

[hazy moss]

sounds like youre rage baiting too

[patent mango]

its funny

[hazy moss]

wtf is bistol

[patent mango]

bistol

[spice flame]

it's bistol

[wise mural]

Gunpsyker is fun yeah but when the Crusher falls on his ass from my big balls or my big explosion

Bistol and Burgatus brought to you by Agent Chaos

[hazy moss]

bistol

Keep yourself safe

thats just goofy though

Gunpsyker is hella more fun than staves

If you m1 macro on staves your just bad at the game🤷‍♂️

melee only psyker

[autumn lark]

You can reach the firing speed cap with scrier columnus

[patent mango]

[clear heath]

staff has better damage per ammo pickup
checkmate

[mossy oyster]

depends on the gun

[patent mango]

gun has better damage per peril

fuck

I can tell you don’t use guns just by saying that

lmfao

ok but

hes right

[mossy oyster]

Not you warudo

they dont use ammo...

lol, the damage debate is always funny. How much is trash damage

Idk i dont even consider trash damage to really count toward anything

[patent mango]

charged strike

[north hatch]

I'm hungry now

Sob

[wise mural]

using both, Staves have always worked much better for me. Better Hoard clear, better special targeting

[patent mango]

i like gun cause more mobile

thats about it

[wise mural]

Boss damage can be a bit lower but

[fiery stratus]

i use hipfire revolver but i basically only use it for elites and sometimes specials

[north hatch]

I use guns cause i think the staves are ugly

And that's literally it

[hazy moss]

gunker damage is carried by assail smap

spam*

debate me

[spice flame]

Slap a double barrel on a staff then

[mossy oyster]

apologies sibling

[patent mango]

get extended customization you can make your staff a book lmao

its funny

[wise mural]

Staves are just generally the better option, for most scenarios

[fiery stratus]

eh

[north hatch]

I play gunker with brain burst

[wise mural]

I will not because It is tru

[patent mango]

i dont even use assail on gunker

[hazy moss]

i disagree with you so im going to ignore your statement

[clear heath]

i just play mostly melee on my gun build

[fiery stratus]

assail does a lot of damage but i basically use assail for dumping on groups in sticky situations and shooting specials

[north hatch]

I tried it yesterday and then my mods broke cause of the hotfix so I am back to playing unmodded

[clear heath]

my goal is to have the least ammo picked up while still top damage

[patent mango]

lmao

[north hatch]

I only tried it on my vet though

[patent mango]

u need to reuse the mod thingy in files

[analog agate]

They have a temp fix in the modding discord for broken dml

[spice flame]

Ye mods are back

[wise mural]

there is a mod_loader fix in the Modding discord if you can are in there

[patent mango]

oh

did something actually properly break

[analog agate]

Ya

[patent mango]

oof

[north hatch]

Was it specifically custom weapons that broke the game

And not other mods

[spice flame]

We're lucky it happened today rather than the 3rd

[analog agate]

It is the actual loader

[north hatch]

Ahhh

So what do I do then

Just reinstall mod loader?

[spice veldt]

ye
do whatever the modding discord announcements say

[north hatch]

Kk

Thanks

[patent mango]

ok gonna test it with the updated mod loader

[plucky flax]

Bistol?

[spice flame]

And run the .bat

[autumn lark]

bolt pistol and double barrel are also gas on psyker

[patent mango]

bistol

[autumn lark]

manstopper both barrels scrier

[plucky flax]

To answer this I shoot when they are far away and melee when they are close. Alternatively if you use knife with bleed your melee can do more than ds4.

[hollow maple]

double barrel psyker feels weird

bistol psyker goodge

[plucky flax]

Did another ez bistol clutch.

Bistol somehow makes teammates play worse.

[clear heath]

honestly i hate how the recoil feels on both those weapons

[autumn lark]

quickscope on bolter weapons

[north hatch]

I saw ogryn s kickbacks run n gun having a 30% spread decrease and thought it'd be good on combat shotgun and double barrel

[analog agate]

Blast staff still negates bad teammates. Another reason why I still love it

[north hatch]

Only to learn that on double barrel it's only 10

And combat shotguns don't have run n gun

[spice flame]

Yeah ok I'll try bistol tonight

Fine

[hollow maple]

It's fun

more fun than playing any staff

[plucky flax]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnF-i8TCPn4

[clear heath]

i tried out columnus (old graia) today
Does anyone use this thing? It seems to suck lol

[north hatch]

I haven't used the pistol in a while

They buffed lethal prox right?

It can actually proc the bleed and stuff?

[analog agate]

I feel you would only use lethal prox with vet

Not psyker

[clear heath]

the explosions still don't proc bleed

[north hatch]

O rip

[clear heath]

they did buff the bistol itself though

[north hatch]

So still surgical puncture?

[north hatch]

Why only with vet

[plucky flax]

That's what I use yeah.

Surgical puncture veri cool.

[analog agate]

Works well with vet shredder nades

[hollow maple]

nice clutch jodie, shame about the music though 😉

[thorn cedar]

Lethal Prox is global

So all explosion flags are boosted

[wooden ledge]

psyker question, i might be tripping myself cuz i have way more hours on sienna in vt2 - sometimes i seem to blow up without doing any action that would build peril. ill be at high peril, cast something that brings me up to 97-100% peril, swap to melee and be blocking or attacking (not using special attack on force sword) and THEN overcharge. im not sure whats going on there

[north hatch]

Ohhh

[fiery stratus]

if you have the talent that causes you to gain peril instead of losing stamina thats a possibility

on block

[radiant frigate]

no

[analog agate]

Are you using a force sword though? Cause block pushing uses peril

[mental rock]

KD uses stamina if you have too high peril

[patent mango]

push is fine but push block attack uses peril

[jovial juniper]

Something something
Salvo blessings

[radiant frigate]

force sword push attacks do build a small amount of peril

[mental rock]

It could be pushing with a force sword

[plucky flax]

Noooo the music is chill.

[radiant frigate]

push ok push attack go boom

[wooden ledge]

really?? that must be it! thank you! i knew special attack did. so it's push-attack that builds peril, i hadnt clocked that

[patent mango]

[clear heath]

Is that actually good? might try it

[analog agate]

Do the regular block push. Not the one where you send guys on their ass (block attack)

[wooden ledge]

yeah that only builds peril if you are not high already. it was push-attack i hadnt realized also builds peril

thanks friends. also how do you get red name in here? ive looked thru sidebar faqs and didnt see it in onboarding

[mental rock]

Just chat more

[wooden ledge]

okey participation, thank you 😄

[jovial juniper]

Good is a strong word

[wooden ledge]

ah push attack only builds peril if it actually connects with an enemy, thats why i never realized

Wait nvm I'm stupid

Do you think they'll ever rework obscurus?

or is it just gonna be abandoned?

[hollow maple]

is there one for zealot's weapon too?

[clear heath]

There isn't a gif or footage of it, no

There's like still images of it

Doesn't obscurus have some use cases

Still

[clear heath]

no

[north hatch]

Oh

[clear heath]

literally 0

[north hatch]

Nvm then

[spice veldt]

obscurus just needs some simple changes in my mind

bump to the uppercut damage

[north hatch]

Wait hear me out

They should keep it the way it is

Because the name is funny

[spice veldt]

chain from h2 to l1 even though I disagree just for usability reasons

and that's pretty much it

[clear heath]

It's definitely possible to make it good with simple buffs
however
Since it has like 0 fans, it would be a good opportunity to make some cool changes to it

give it an interesting special

Like i'm sure 0 people would be offended if they made drastic changes to obscurus, simply because no one cares

[mental rock]

How about giving it a unique push/pa instead of just the same thing as the other two

[late sapphire]

It's literally just shit now

Special should make armored targets explode like a frag

Simple as

That'd let you use it to actually kill crusher packs

[clear heath]

let it just blow up bulwarks through a shield lmao

[late sapphire]

Coolest thing ever

[late sapphire]

Fatshark buff ui doesnt work

[clear heath]

I've heard people mention it might be from having too many buffs

[late sapphire]

Get better buff management and stick it in an independent bar

Then it'll show up

[mental rock]

Just a visual bug, the buff still works

[tulip kettle]

another essential mod imo

especially for zealot

[clear heath]

I've never had the issue cause I have a mod for multiple buff bars

psyker gets too many buffs

[radiant ice]

Guess I need to get that too

[clear heath]

even with 2 bars this shit looks cluttered
and my aura buffs are in a corner outside the screenshot

[thorn cedar]

the H1 should really be hitting for the same number as Deimos'

even if it doesnt gain the stagger

like it just has cobbled together pieces from the other force swords ... but weaker

and it doesnt have to be weaker

[spice veldt]

the general pattern so far is that stabs will be strictly better than overheads with the ideal that stabs are harder to hit
the problem is that stabs tend to have active frames longer than they should

but i do think that the deimos stab could be reigned in a little bit anyways

[thorn cedar]

with slaughterer stacks and warp splitter you can pull Deimos' H2 across two Reapers

very funny

[patent mango]

lmao

actually that looks normal mine are just 1 line instead of 2

[analog agate]

The only wtf about this image is you managed to get 25 stacks of DD successfully

[patent mango]

impossible

maybe dd should be base 5s and lingering stays 10s

[thorn cedar]

or u could get good

[clear heath]

it's actually annoying to stack it even in psykanium

[patent mango]

never

[thorn cedar]

25 stacks is a pretty pointless goal, you lose it in 4s

its just about being above 15

thats it, thats the only goal

[clear heath]

yeah but i needed the stacks for the funny illisi crusher oneshot

[thorn cedar]

if you have more than 15 you are gaining value you wouldnt have gotten with lingering

[hazy moss]

what mod is this?

[summer prairie]

I don't see 25 being viable except for maybe some melee builds

[patent mango]

my friend has perfectionism and keeps saying "dont kill that guy" but im already about to stab them lmao

literally about to melee them by that point

[thorn cedar]

25's viability is tricky

[clear heath]

Better Buff Management

[patent mango]

i just dont wanna bother with it

[thorn cedar]

you can theorize weapons hitting breakpoints with it but its more about whether those weapons/your build actually lets you score blueboi kills at a speed where it matters

i have zero issue stacking up 20+ persistently with deimos/laspee/assail

[patent mango]

maybe with reconlas it could be more reasonable

[summer prairie]

if you are running around chasing blues, you are losing damage anyway

[thorn cedar]

thats what i said yes

if you have to genuinely chase them down with blinders on to maintain it

youre doing it wrong

i just have to press Q and instantly headpop some dummy with the laspee

you have 40s at 25 stacks before you are at the level of lingering influence

the reality is that most weapons just arent fast enough to do it, or you have to already have stacks running before it gets off the ground

[haughty star]

lmao

emprah literally just nonironically dumped this on my 2nd psyker

i haven't touched it

wish i had luck like this before the locked and loaded lol

[radiant frigate]

pre-patch this would have been divine

[zinc phoenix]

For 4 seconds

[patent mango]

perfectionism is so rare

i barely see it

i cant use it it makes dd a pain

[thorn cedar]

for 40 seconds

[zinc phoenix]

Getting to 25 is so rare

[thorn cedar]

then ur doin it wrang

sometimes it isnt even a skill issue

your shit just doesnt pull it off

[zinc phoenix]

I have played lot of dd in auric maels

[patent mango]

i pretty much only dd yea

[thorn cedar]

like Voidstrike does not do 25 stacks

flight time + charge time

its a total wash

[strong gulch]

Oh second psyker. Yeah that makes sense. I swear the game knows and just rains luck on your alt character vs your main.

[zinc phoenix]

I can imagine laspistol can pull it off

[thorn cedar]

Laspistol? instant draw, hilarious finesse numbers

[zinc phoenix]

There’s a very very very small number of weapons that can viably get there

[thorn cedar]

and now your deimos can l1 a mutant to death with a headshot

[zinc phoenix]

So for the vast majority of the builds available perfectionism is an out and out bad choice

[thorn cedar]

yes no denying that

[zinc phoenix]

Then you might want to caveat your advice to “with laspistol perfectionism can be good”

[thorn cedar]

no

figure it out yourself

im not gonna prescribe my solution as being the only solution

[zinc phoenix]

K

I’m just gonna block you for being an idiot tbh

[thorn cedar]

i have also maintained 25s with an MKIV Kantrael (whatever the shit its called now), Smite, and a Combat Knife

[patent mango]

psyker chat getting toxic

[clear heath]

I think revolver could probably pull it off too

[summer prairie]

do you actually maintain it between encounters too

[thorn cedar]

nah sometimes you just get fucked over

[strong gulch]

Trauma / voidblast is pretty is easy to keep DD stacks up, but then you're doing trauma DD. It's more of an assail trauma build, but that's off meta.

[thorn cedar]

like if youre the only one willing to do the goddamn objective

[patent mango]

perfectionism just isnt fun at all tbh

[summer prairie]

it would be more interesting to see the average stack count

[thorn cedar]

but you cant plan for that shit

god i wish i had a scoreboard for that, yeah

[jovial juniper]

Airlocks and elevators

[thorn cedar]

here's really what it comes down to

can you land headshots

[clear heath]

see, that's the awkward part with DD.
When the team is just slow to progress and just idles for like a minute

[thorn cedar]

and are you willing to sometimes farm up the stacks on a group of bruisers

thats really it

[broken carbon]

no oddball is just being himself lmfao

[thorn cedar]

revolver is alright also, but the ammo in mag is limiting

[clear heath]

DD stacks disintegrating before my eyes while one guy fucks around just outside the elevator

[thorn cedar]

you wanna be able to pick up that blue fucker as soon as you can

[broken carbon]

blue fucker

smurf…

[thorn cedar]

so only five shots before reloading kinda sucks

[patent mango]

lol

[thorn cedar]

vs. laspee getting 30+

[summer prairie]

can't even bring a blue with you to the elevator

[thorn cedar]

lmao

[patent mango]

take a bag of tiny heretics to kill whenever you need stacks

[thorn cedar]

"everybody meet smurfy"
"we are NOT doing this again"

[patent mango]

single celled heretic

[spice veldt]

fucked up

can't believe that fatshark wouldn't allow us to kidnap a marked target onto the elevator

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah, unwilling to waste time taking with people who assert things with no evidence and refuse to limit their claims to even remotely plausible levels

[thorn cedar]

lmao

is that your interpretation?

[broken carbon]

…. he literally explained it all

lmfao

[clear heath]

He didn't even say it was for every weapon though. He did limit his claim

He said some weapons couldn't do it

this was clarified

multiple times

[thorn cedar]

some of yall will also absolutely succeed with a weapon combination that i failed at

[spice veldt]

he specifies it here

[thorn cedar]

but most of you are just intimidated by 4s stacks and wont try it

[patent mango]

max 25 stacks with bolter

[spice veldt]

most literate psyker

[broken carbon]

meeeee

[zinc phoenix]

He claimed perfectionism was good and the better choice, then on pushback admitted only on laspistol and still hasn’t dealt with the whole “you might have to do things other than stand still shooting stuff”

[broken carbon]

and they say the zealots are stupid

[patent mango]

meeeeee (its so unfun)

[thorn cedar]

i deffo did not

[spice veldt]

zealots, especially meow, are also stupid

[broken carbon]

hey you said i had a smart moment forever ago when i was talking about brainburster taking 3 EP charges to kill a bulwark because the buff to bulwark health

[thorn cedar]

So I make every effort to run Perfectionist until I can be sure that that shit really doesn't work

[analog agate]

I only last 4 sec anyways. 10 sec too long

[thorn cedar]

Perfectionism is when ya blow ur warp load in 4s

[autumn lark]

Isnt it 2?

[broken carbon]

it used to be 2

now it’s 3

[autumn lark]

Weird

[broken carbon]

unless BB got a buff i wasnt aware of

[autumn lark]

Is it because it gets more carapace ADM?

[analog agate]

Nah still 3

[broken carbon]

it’s due to bulwarks getting a buff to health forever ago

[broken carbon]

no

bulwarks have i think 4800 health

[autumn lark]

Ohhh

[analog agate]

They got a health buff when ?plasma could start going through their shields

[broken carbon]

brainburst i think has an ADM of 1 across the board

right?

[clear heath]

He did not say it was the better choice. He said you'd get more out of it if you can consistently get more than 15 stacks, which is true.
And this is what he started off with. Does this look like he's claiming it's better?

[broken carbon]

don’t even bother pookie

oddball is

something else

[patent mango]

odd?

[broken carbon]

that’s a nice word for it

[analog agate]

Nah, a ball

[patent mango]

yeah i just made it up

[thorn cedar]

Perfectionism = one blueboi headshot every 12s to maintain

sometimes it cant be done

[clear heath]

I tried it with vraks a few times and it was too much of a hassle

[thorn cedar]

sometimes it can only be done if you are already at like, 20 stacks because you only score easy one-tap headshots at that level

yea

vraks is like supreme overkill also lmao

laspee does some very funny shit once its maxed out like that

one tapping dreg gunners in the head

[clear heath]

I think it could theoretically work well on vraks but it's just too much to bother with

don't have the skill or willpower or need

[thorn cedar]

really anything with a draw time is kinda bad

and most automatics also tend to be kinda bad

cause not scoring the headshot kill is a difference of two stacks

and i mean

fucking nobody is running Perfectionist without the headshot node

not even me, im not that insane

[patent mango]

save the point from cruel fortune to put in perilous assault

[thorn cedar]

pfffft

more like perilous ass

[patent mango]

i think if they replaced perilous with a 5% tdr node people would pick it 5 times more

[thorn cedar]

i would LOL

[minor wedge]

I keep seeing "Smite is bad" posts on reddit

Why is that ?

[patent mango]

smite is just kinda boring

[thorn cedar]

i am making a post of my own

explaining all of that

here is a sneak peak

[broken carbon]

it’s OP and borin to play with

[clear heath]

see, checking reddit was your first mistake

[broken carbon]

wall of text time

[jovial juniper]

OP and boring
Or just boring

[thorn cedar]

Smite's damage is super shit

even if you put a bunch of talent points into it

[patent mango]

https://tenor.com/view/sick-tricks-slugcat-rainworld-lizard-gif-27437604

[thorn cedar]

so its best use is in brief flashes of CC

which means not holding it down unless you are trying to accomplish something specific like a revive or an objective

[minor wedge]

Yeah, thats how I use it unless my team gets overwhelmed by elites in which case I hold them in CC until my team can deal with them

[patent mango]

smite coulda been molten beam.......

[summer prairie]

the damage is fine with enough targets, you are setting up for shriek anyway

[broken carbon]

if only i had the energy to learn how to play rainworld

[patent mango]

spear lizar

eat food

[thorn cedar]

but there's dozens of faster ways to set up your shriek

and then shriek alone takes care of everything on the above table by itself

[dense elm]

hey so question

[broken carbon]

it should be molten beam, or the shriek alternative instead of rupture should be molten beam

[thorn cedar]

its really just a very shitty build

[summer prairie]

180x50 targets is fine dps

[patent mango]

it coulda been some way cooler stuff ye

[thorn cedar]

not quite tho, cause smite has to propagate

so it has built in damage fall off

shriek hits everything equally

[dense elm]

is the brittleness blessing im supposed to be getting on my inferno staff rending shockwave or is it another one

[broken carbon]

inferno only has penetrating flames

[minor wedge]

Thats the build I use (found it on a website)(

[thorn cedar]

that is the exact build i am looking to tear down lmao

[dense elm]

shit your right im looking at a void blast

[thorn cedar]

instead of EP move everything over to Warp Charges

probably dont need Battle Meditation either

[analog agate]

Fyi exploits is getting you to not do an EP smite build in general. What you posted is a fine build though

[strong gulch]

Meta infero / purg is flak + preference and warp nexus + blazeaway.

Penetrating flames isn't a bad choice tho. It's just not as good as nexus or blazeaway.

[thorn cedar]

i mean you can still do EP Smite, but, dont fall into the trap of holding Smite down for extended periods of time "for damage"

[minor wedge]

I mean.... I'm gonna keep playing it since I realy enjoy it but I just wanted to know why people seem to hate on it so much

[thorn cedar]

if you look at the table, EP Smite does a fantastic job of deleting big ol Groaner and Poxwalker crowds in very little time

[wispy bay]

EP smite can trash clear quick

[thorn cedar]

But any Smite that lasts for longer than four or so seconds is ... fucking long

[minor wedge]

Yeah, I only use it on realy big pox hordes or to hold elites in CC.

[wispy bay]

Though some people will try to kill elites with it

[dense elm]

hmm ok thanks ill look for that

[thorn cedar]

yea

big mistake

[minor wedge]

All the rest is lightning staff and force sword dealable

[analog agate]

EP smite is:
Horde or large group comes. Smite until 86 peril. Venting shriek and continue smiting. Group is dead.

Use sword/ek staff for single targets/small groups

[thorn cedar]

which is horrible

you could just spam your illisi special to hit 86% faster and thne shriek and have the exact same results

[wispy bay]

The only times I hold smite for more than 2 seconds with EP smite is because of the enemy orgryn horde.

[clear heath]

I should try a run where i only use smite

[minor wedge]

That

So good to hold down a group of crushers

[clear heath]

just to see what it's like

[analog agate]

Ya, I am not an EP smiter. It is a slower (but safer) method of exponentially killing hordes

[thorn cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT1xC1bzDJs

[summer prairie]

well obviously you aren't using smite for pure dps

[analog agate]

I don’t enjoy ep smite

[summer prairie]

and shouldn't boil it down to just that

[thorn cedar]

but people build it for DPS sadly

i also do like EP Smite specifically for the reduced time to bounce

it goes from 0.3s between bounces to 0.2 seconds and that is BIG

[modest perch]

Ep scriers smite

[jovial juniper]

Warp Syphon Scrier's Smite

[analog agate]

EP smite/shriek does do good dmg though…

[wispy bay]

If you get the same result... Then why one is better than the other?

[thorn cedar]

i do DD/SG Gunker Smite lul

[strong gulch]

EP smite is a PC, shriek, and psyk aura enabler that also ticks damage in a way that usually lets you get the last bit of damage (even if someone else does most of it) so you get the credit. If you do partial damage to a lot of the map, you're gonna get inflated damage numbers.

[plucky flax]

Had a guy with voidstrike last game. But he was spamming ep smite the whole time instead.

[strong gulch]

It also take a lot of point investment.

[thorn cedar]

cause with Smite you are damaging a horde you would already be killing with the shout, and using Smite to reach that point is the slowest way to do so

what you actually are trying to do is hit 86% perils and then that alone will wipe out the trash

Smite is irrelevant outside of being CC in that equation

[analog agate]

It is the safest way to do it

[thorn cedar]

so it would be best to just focus on using it as CC and building your perils in any numerous better and more damaging ways

[strong gulch]

Yeah, EP smite kills slowly; but you kill 1 rager or 40 of them in a similar amount of time.

[thorn cedar]

like 70% of Smite damage in most Smite builds is Soulblaze

[strong gulch]

The enemy density scaling is silly.

[thorn cedar]

and you could be doing that Soulblaze much more efficienctly, while increasing Soulblaze damage, and the rest of your kit's damage, and you would still have Smite for CC

it's a hat on a hat

[analog agate]

And now we get to the question he asked lmao. Smite is “bad” because it is a large enabler of soul blaze. And MOST users use it with bubble shield as “support”

[thorn cedar]

its also just really annoying and suffocating to play with when it's brutally overused, and i mean brutally

not just "well sometimes i smite for a while"

we mean players who ONLY smite

who exist and make us all sad

[wispy bay]

In hunting ground SC, smite deletes the hounds before anyone else can even see them, which is also fun

[clear heath]

i'm gonna try ep smite with bubble just to see how awful it is

smite only

[thorn cedar]

ye like it has use cases that are excellent

[strong gulch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1004447866250613048/1295449409160478781/chiquichico-ezgif.com-instagif.gif

[thorn cedar]

but sadly the way it exists currently is that you could also just always use it and it never really punishes you

like nobody will ever deny

a Smyker holding down a room for a revive is excellent

we want that

we do not want a Smyker holding down a Poxwalker horde for 16 seconds and nothing else

[clear heath]

it just turns killing stuff into a chore instead of a game

[wispy bay]

The thing with smite is the low mobility vs melee and ranged weapons, so I rotate around them all the time.

[thorn cedar]

we really do live in a psykhanium

[thorn cedar]

AKTUALLY you can sprint and slide with the right click while charging it up so its a bit more mobile than you think

[clear heath]

like damn, now i gotta walk to all these spread out enemies while they stand around unable to attack

[thorn cedar]

once you cast it tho yea youre locked in

[strong gulch]

I wonder if smite could be helped by making it like 3 consumables or something. Like nades. Or just have a cooldown.

I know that's been brought up before.

[thorn cedar]

i just want it to have a hard cap

three seconds and it lets go

and also like

maybe it actually fucken perils you when you max it lmao

i find it wild that its so generous

[summer prairie]

if no complete rework, something like crushers/mutants immune or become immune after x seconds of stun

like they also gain stagger immunity

[thorn cedar]

all enemies nurgle blessed!!

[clear heath]

I don't think they want a hold effect to kill you.
A peril explosion that doesn't require button press/release to trigger will just fuck up people who lag

[strong gulch]

You mean not only exploding you if you just pump it in the elevator and die for the lols.

[thorn cedar]

i only perils with smite since they added warp unbound and thats because its bugged lmao

[minor wedge]

Yeah, tahts not me lol. ONLY smite sounds so boring and doesn't deal with elites at all

Elites get smacked with Staff lightning

or with my sword

^^

[fringe garden]

Smykere are not so ubiquitous that these problems need to be addressed mechanically. I have only very rarely seen these mythical people that exclusively abuse smite in the way being described here.

[sturdy reef]

warp unbound into peril explosion is peak

[minor wedge]

[clear heath]

I just always click no

[thorn cedar]

i see less and less but there's also the self selection bias

[analog agate]

Depends on if it is a single elite or multiple. In a specced smite build you should be taking elites out with smite too.

[thorn cedar]

higher you go the less its seen as acceptable

[clear heath]

I also just want smite to be more fun

because i want to use it

[minor wedge]

Just gotta yell "UNLIMITED POWER!" when you use it

[thorn cedar]

brand new players LOVE smite, they think its amazing how you can have your smyker hold an entire horde while you magdump it as a veteran

[minor wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[patent mango]

this can take like 20m lmaoo

[analog agate]

There was someone on Reddit, like 6 months ago, who was flabbergasted you could just say no lmao. He was waiting so long each update

[thorn cedar]

dont verify files unless youve been having problems

itll always ask, just say no

[strong gulch]

Smite has great spectacle for new player too.

[thorn cedar]

oh yea its flashy and awesome

[minor wedge]

I just always do it. I only have SSD's so its usualy quick

[clear heath]

I like lightning

[sturdy reef]

lightning is cool

[minor wedge]

true

[thorn cedar]

i like the sound it makes too

[sturdy reef]

I rarely see it being abused

so idrc about smite

[fringe garden]

I use smite to grab a hold of a situation that is spiraling, let people quickly reposition, and go back to killing. That's what it is for. That's how most people use it, too.

[minor wedge]

DID YOU KNOW

It changes color when you use a celerity stim ?

Becomes bright blue

[thorn cedar]

whaaaa

[minor wedge]

Like, neon bright blue

[celest valve]

man i just use smite because UNLIMITED POWER and to let everyone else just lazily kill everything at their leisure

[minor wedge]

And it latches onto more targets faster

[remote shadow]

Isn't that just the stim filter making it look different to the user

[celest valve]

and if they don't, I press venting shriek to burn them all to death

[minor wedge]

Is it ?

[clear heath]

For me it's not about other people abusing it (although i do hate it)
I just want something more engaging to use than just "press button at any time to disable all enemies"

[thorn cedar]

would be true for other stims too then

[minor wedge]

yeah. with damage stim it looks the same

[clear heath]

like it doesn't matter how often you see other people spam it.
I want it to be fun for myself

[minor wedge]

Only changes color with the blue stim

[celest valve]

look sometimes I just want to turn off brain and shuffle along

[thorn cedar]

yea I want to write this guide in order to justify why holding smite down for long periods of time is almost always wrong

[patent mango]

cant they at least put assail in the middle of the tree

:(

[thorn cedar]

not just belittle

[clear heath]

no PA for you, sorry

[patent mango]

noooooo

[fringe garden]

Maybe the devs could make the blitz keystone remove the stun effect but add more damage and more spread, I dunno.

[minor wedge]

Yeah, but thats just something I felt instinctively. lol. Smite is a good CC tool. a REALY good one and its fun to use on hordes, but for elites and bosses I run my staff, shriek and sword.

[strong gulch]

Also, my hands can't stand just holding down a button for as along as ep smite wants.

[thorn cedar]

yea if im not swapping weapons every five seconds i will literally die irl in minecraft

[strong gulch]

I know that's more of a me problem but lmao surge staff is actually easier to use because of that.

[minor wedge]

Cant wait for that new sword btw

Question though. If I aim my lightning staff at, lets say a BoN's weakpoint, with that do more damage ?

Or is it fixed?

[fringe garden]

God, there are gonna be so many new and returning Psyker players soon. It's gonna be terrible.

Yes. Exactly

[thorn cedar]

It ignores it, it always hits the main body.

[polar crypt]

what is 'melee' all I know is smite and inferno staff

[clear heath]

i can't wait for the surge in reddit posts of "psyker melee sucks" from all the new people trying it

[polar crypt]

reddit isn't real it can't hurt you

[patent mango]

good

[minor wedge]

So better to get in close and hit it with my force sword

[thorn cedar]

or left click the zit

[patent mango]

if it sucks post force gs we'd get more melee talents if enough people complain

[minor wedge]

Or that, true

maybe they'll buff charged strike

Put dueling sword back on Psyker only

[haughty star]

I'm just using the dueling sword five and I'm not sure what to dump. I want maxed mobility stats. Not sure if pen or finesse is more impactful

@near wyvern if one had to have 80 def and 80 mob would you dump finesse or pen or try to balance between?

[summer prairie]

with uncanny stacks up penetration doesn't really do anything

but you can just dump defences too

[analog agate]

I would dump defences

[clear heath]

is mk5 the one with defences instead of cleave damage?

[summer prairie]

I guess it marginally affects "mobility"

[analog agate]

Yes

[thorn cedar]

i want that new maaaaaap

weve been staring at that cathedral for a while

[quick tulip]

I like to dump pen cause defenses also covers push cost and I push it, push it real good

[haughty star]

Yes the one with the 10ft dodges lol

[haughty star]

And dodge distance

[haughty star]

Good point

Plus the 5 is more of a lesser elite killer anyway

[analog agate]

Last true map is really good, imo. So I am also excited for it and the hype is being overshadowed for the eventual whelming sword

[quick tulip]

They should give psyker the psykinetic equivalent of a Bret sword and board, just because

[radiant frigate]

so just a sword and force barrier then

[quick tulip]

[patent mango]

map is good but new weapons are so peak

[cosmic sigil]

Elite + carapace if you really hate big bois

[radiant frigate]

(the bulwarks will tremble)

[clear heath]

Yeah I think mine had unyielding

bulwark racism is always acceptable

[idle marsh]

I honestly usually put maniacs because big numbers better

[steel flame]

Honestly it depends on the weapon. Many times specialized damage is better but for things like the chainaxe, across the board elite damage benefits it more

[ornate abyss]

like on the force swords

inferno staff should have warp nexus yes? What about blaze away or anything else? How do psyker have blaze away when there is no magazine

[strong gulch]

Purg / inferno bis is nexus and blazeaway.

[ornate abyss]

bis ?

[strong gulch]

best in slot

Flak + pref and nexus + blaze away

[ornate abyss]

ah ok

what about on electrokinetic staff?

[analog agate]

Warp flurry/nexus for rmb build. Nexus/surge for lmb build

[ornate abyss]

is this a rmb or lmb build?

[analog agate]

Atm, do surge/nexus on that build as it probably uses a mix of both.

[ornate abyss]

where should I put last point?

[strong gulch]

For RMB surge / EK build. #psyker-class message

Most stave have nearly the same build on the left side of the tree with small differences.

They are essentially a shriek (with creeping flames) spam build.

[strong gulch]

I forgot to mention that Warp Resist is the dump stat on both purg/ infero and surge/ EK.

This is true for all of the staves except voidSTRIKE. Voidstrike's best dump is blast radius (though WR and be dumped on that too.)

[analog agate]

If you are doing more primary firing, do end of keystone Cruel Fortune. If you want more time in doing more dmg at 100% do warp unbound

[north hatch]

Can extended weapon customization cause fps drops?

[spice flame]

@plucky flax found your alt

bistol

[radiant frigate]

so close! but that's not actually a gent chaos

that's a lady order

[spice flame]

Yeah unfortunate

They did well tho

Ok took me a minute.

[analog agate]

My prediction is most won’t get your point and the remainder will be arguing with you that you should be using bubble instead of shriek.

[marble crater]

You next week, if greatsword is not peak

[spice flame]

kat Rn

[patent mango]

if force gs isnt peak we riot 🔥

[waxen jackal]

Hey y'all, I started leveling my last staff. The electro staff. How are you supposed to play it? Horde clear, elite or both?

[spice flame]

Elite

Horde clear is terrible on Elektro

[north hatch]

Blurfhhh I have to level up my zealot and my ogryn if I wanna play with their new toys

[jovial juniper]

Horde clear done by Shriek

[spice flame]

that

[jovial juniper]

Since EK normally builds some good amount of peril

[hearty laurel]

what's the dump stat for the heavy sword? 🤔 (i'm using headtaker and deathblow)

[north hatch]

Defense I think

[spice flame]

Defense indeed

[waxen jackal]

Okay good to know. The higher the difficulty the better it will be right? Cuz more elites to kill

[radiant frigate]

me every week for the past year because there was no force greatsword

[spice flame]

I know I'm the new one here but still, seein Kat feels weird everytime since, well

[marble crater]

I hope it's peak

[analog agate]

Since what

[spice flame]

Since I'm also Kat, on DT, and on a lot of other games

usually

[north hatch]

Now you must fuse into one being

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's some noob probably.

[radiant frigate]

we are not the same

HOWEVER

i think i saw you as i was coming back from a mission one time

on the mourningstar

[primal plume]

I wish this was cool

[spice flame]

uh

[primal plume]

Rather

[radiant frigate]

it was a "wtf" kind of experience

[primal plume]

i iwsh it was good

because it sounds cool

[north hatch]

Like if it exploded then at full HP?

If it procced

[primal plume]

I just wish they made it better. I used it once and never saw an explosion

[radiant frigate]

it should explode everything and not just elites

[spice flame]

Not a ton of Kat out there sooo, probably

What's even the radius and damage of said explosion

[north hatch]

Huh so part of extended weapon customization was causing fps drops

For me

[radiant frigate]

observe

[spice flame]

I've heard that the option to display weapons oni teammates is causing frame drop

[north hatch]

Yeah that's what it was

[spice flame]

Oh, at the time, yeah, I had that outfit

[north hatch]

I also read something about scoreboard causing memory leaks but that was from a while ago

[spice flame]

Hello

[radiant frigate]

hello :)

[north hatch]

Were you the one that mentioned turning staves into books?

[spice flame]

Nope

[north hatch]

Oh

I forgot who that was

[spice flame]

But I remember seing this today yeah

Age made me forget

and forget age made me

[radiant frigate]

no way

me too

[primal plume]

This doesnt work for Fire Staff I think

It works for the charge, but channeling the fire still slows you

[radiant frigate]

but it slows you less

[primal plume]

i cant notice a difference

then again i never use fire staff

[radiant frigate]

nor do i

[olive ember]

Oh when did focused channeling do that

[radiant frigate]

i also have never used this blessing

[olive ember]

thats cool I guess

[radiant frigate]

crafting rework

[spice flame]

I never realized that I was SO TINY
