This video will break things down on crafting and masteries. When actually building a weapon, blessings and perks are the things to really ask questions on and how they work with your kit.
https://youtu.be/pxShYmKrKFg?si=GL1fh6UWFwJ0vnuh

Hello Varlets!

Today I'm going over the crafting system in Darktide in great detail, explaining everything you need to know to craft your weapons from scratch! From tips on leveling up your mastery to figuring which stats are important to you, we'll be learning all there is to crafting!

Buckle up, and let's get it on!

the reason you shouldnt let psykers into your team

#

because theyre all just a big liability

95% of my own time is Psyker

#

i would not say it is 95% for me

#

thats it

radiant frigate
#

but probably a solid 40-50%

acoustic isle
#

it's kinda comedic because i saw ogryn on launch

acoustic isle
#

and my first character was ogryn

#

and that really massively fucked up my perception when i went to zealot

radiant frigate

my first character was zealot

I started with zealot, then heard the voice lines of the masc Loner, and I was sold

my first character was psyker

i think psyker was my third

i was at 300hrs before havox

It's okay, I just have to avoid two extremely common ingredients in nearly every single piece of American cuisine, and also monitor my food intake by grams, and also eat just enough but not too much fiber.

Uuuhhh

plucky flax
#

It's comfy and you just spam staff. Smite when things get hairy. Press f a lot at 84%+ peril

half turtle
#

i love pressing f at 84%+ peril tbh

#

best feeling in the game

#

do that shit off cd

maiden oracle
#

So just this build and drop soul stealer for kf?

ornate hamlet
#

why 84% peril

#

what about

half turtle
#

of soulblaze

#

venting shriek gives more soulblaze/more stagger depending on peril

ornate hamlet
#

rlly? i thought it was 85%?

vernal temple
#

it's actually 69%

ornate hamlet

#

Is Scrier's Gaze worth testing on a staff build or should I always stick with Venting Shriek?

What is kf again

Kinetic flayer. Free bb on monster elites and specials

maiden oracle
#

Oh that’s nice

#

Weapons and curios are all the same in both builds?

vernal frost
half turtle
#

kinetic flayer is like a few hundred dps for free but it does overkill a ton

#

it's fun though

plucky flax
ornate hamlet
half turtle
#

i like it on trauma with perilous combustion cuz it's 7 free stacks on the whole group if you crit on your first shot

#

and then you shout for 13

vernal temple
half turtle
vernal temple
#

Oh I didn't know

half turtle
#

yeah i think that's why people started running it more

#

it fucks in aurics, it's ok but not amazing in (high) havoc

worthy trellis
#

Is Empyric Shock or Warp Splitting also worth it for staff spam attack builds?

half turtle
#

esp because bb is ranged so it does 0 damage to guys with pus-hardened

plucky flax
#

It's a great pc enabler

#

More cdr for your creeping flames

half turtle
#

yeah i love it because it gives you instant pc to put fire on a pack

#

but in havocs a lot of the time it just... doesn't kill the guy

plucky flax
#

Yeah still free damage. And if it helps kill a special faster its worth it cos if you are trapped u die instantly in havoc

half turtle
#

oh yeah definitely

#

i think it's still good but it just doesn't feel quite as strong as it does in auric

vernal temple
half turtle
ornate hamlet
delicate dove
#

Inner Tranquility + Penetration of the soul OR Essence Harvest + Empyric Resolve? Opinions?

half turtle
#

it's really frustrating to have to brain-burst gunners twice to kill them on havoc 35+

plucky flax
#

Huh definitely more hp

half turtle
plucky flax
#

Doppio gas lighting

half turtle
#

and only 3600 on damnation

ornate hamlet
half turtle
#

well havocs under ~20 i think have weaker enemies than damnation? i think??

#

im not sure

It's heresy after all

100k hp monster Pogryn

#

Free damage inflation

ripe obsidian
half turtle
#

it really is

ornate hamlet
#

funny how i get more yellow toughness than actual toughness

half turtle
#

still took over a wound of purple though LOL

#

the fact that gold toughness stacks is super busted

ornate hamlet
#

yea doesnt 2 books give 200 toughness

#

kinda op if u ask me

half turtle
#

you can see it stacked up when you got hit

ornate hamlet
#

oh that makes sense

vernal temple
#

Yeah, havoc enemies all do corruption damage

half turtle
#

a crusher can actually just instantly kill (not even down, just flat kill) you from full hp because of it, if you eat the overhead

ornate hamlet
plucky flax
#

33% charge does seem to be a good sweet spot against chaffs since the direct damage dont matter much and its just long enough to keep blaze away. good tip bro. for monster full charge still feels a lot nicer

vernal temple
#

And on high levels an overhead crusher chop deletes u

ripe obsidian
plucky flax
#

@cyan portal

vernal temple

ripe obsidian
ornate hamlet
#

speaking of, if you get flattened by a crusher does that not count against true survivor?

vernal temple
half turtle
#

i've literally never been hit in this game actually

#

my secret is overloading

ornate hamlet
#

when i got true survivor there was 1 down in my team but it was to a crusher overhead and i still got the penance, felt like cheating

half turtle
#

yeah instant deaths don't count as downs LOL

ornate hamlet
#

oh

#

well thats quite funny

half turtle
#

it's Funny Fatshark Logic

#

i guess technically it's true

#

i think also if you die from a ledge it doesn't count as a down but i'm not 100% sure

ornate hamlet
#

fatshart devs try not to be lazy challenge (impossible)

ornate hamlet
half turtle
#

it's possible ledging itself counts as a down

ornate hamlet
#

would be a funny prank

half turtle
#

but if you overload and get grabbed by a mutant you blow up immediately

#

instead of finishing the animation

ornate hamlet
#

that is true

#

i recall you kinda just yell all the way down and still blow up

#

but u dont 'go down'

pliant plover

is how

What perks and blessings for force sword

ornate hamlet
#

riposte wrath

#

statistically and warpically

maiden oracle
#

It doesn’t even have wrath

#

oh

#

slaughterer riposte

maiden oracle
#

I thought uncanny slaughterer was the play

potent echo
#

Uncanny slaught is great

#

As a psyker what’s the best way of dealing with dogs

half turtle
#

if you can't do that reliably, shoving is fine too

ornate hamlet
#

mayhaps

#

but the illsi is the superior one

half turtle
#

im not sure if one is obviously better than the other but the deimos has more mobility and imo better makes up for the weaknesses of the rest of your kit

#

cuz psyker has a lot of really good horde clear options

muted grove
#

Does the purg staff melee
Stop dogs?

half turtle
#

uh probably but you should just use the lmb puff instead

#

purg lmb staggers pretty much everything that isn't an ogryn

#

you can use it to shove dogs and bursters

muted grove
#

My
Lmb hasn’t stopped them from pouncing me wth

half turtle
#

could be lag

muted grove
#

Works well on bursters idk what’s up

half turtle
#

you can also stagger them from the instant they "set" to jump, you don't have to stagger them out of the pounce itself

#

once they stop to jump any stagger makes them go onto their jump cd and loop around for a bit before trying again, even if they haven't jumped yet

#

worst case just play a corner or a crate or something, dogs suck at corners and crates

#

but you really should be able to just swap to melee and shove on the audio cue, it's by far the safest thing you can do

hard hamlet
#

siblings, what blessings do we like on the mkVIII big sword

ripe obsidian
#

Wrath+Shred/Momentum, I believe.

#

I use Wrath/Shred on my Meleeker

nocturne dust
#

an 8 lover

hard hamlet
prime elk
#

8 is based

strong gulch
#

Wrath + choose your own adventure is the current go to. Some of the blessings are meh tho. Second blessing are generally shred/ riposte/ unstable

hard hamlet
#

she look like someone youd see in a tatooine background shot

delicate dove
prime elk
#

otherwise wrath + shred/riposte

strong gulch
#

But there is also unstable + riposte with warp splitting (talent on right side).

hard hamlet
#

when we meleeker with this weapon do we try to get the dodge extender talent or nah

prime elk
#

not necessary

#

nice to have but pretty much never worth the 2 points you need to path to get there

hard hamlet
#

mhm

plucky flax

Me with shred riposte PeepoHappy

ripe obsidian

Tru SadgeCry

prime elk

same 😛

#

crits are life

prime elk
#

well actually could be fine with warp splitting

#

so there's that

plucky flax
#

And yes warp splitting too

strong gulch
#

@plucky flax We did it, we got 40.

prime elk
#

but then again, i'm usually peril edging so unstable power is nice

#

hmmm

plucky flax
#

Unstable is nice too.

#

But I just do horde clear with assails more than big sword.

#

It's more for elites for me so crit is nicer.

ripe obsidian
#

Zealot throwing knife makes me miss Assail

#

I don't want to aim

#

Why 2 hp 1 toughness curio btw

hard hamlet

i like to crit to keep mettle goin

#

recover me tuffness 😩

maiden oracle
#

Why not 2 tough one hp

#

Or two tough one stam

plucky flax
#

It's just your preference mane

hard hamlet
#

i use 2 tough one stam

maiden oracle
#

Ah ok

#

Everyone else but me died so I am perfect and need no improvement chadgryn (I was zealot)

I cannot wait until I am done Havoc penances and I have more than 6 maps to choose from

hard hamlet
plucky flax
#

DD boost your melee too

hard hamlet
#

tru 😮

plucky flax
#

But if you're starved on points then EP is nice.

#

But tru aim is too good with assails anyway.

#

So I'd still go down there then just take DD

#

I am noob so I use the long duration DD PeepoHappy

hard hamlet
#

can i see how ya build that

plucky flax
#

25 stacks too hard to keep

plucky flax
hard hamlet
#

nice thanks

plucky flax
#

Not as strong as surge creeping flames spam

#

But it's just so nice to play juggling all your tools.

hard hamlet
#

oh hey! ive watched your videos before 😄

plucky flax
#

It's good to help you manage psyker's weaponaries

#

Blitz melee range and your ability. You use it all.

hard hamlet
#

no ethereal shards on assail, interesting 🤔

plucky flax
#

The warp splitting is your cleave talent. It increases both melee and assails.

hard hamlet
#

okie doke

plucky flax
#

I can't find another spare point for it sadly otherwise I'd take it too for even more cleave.

hard hamlet
#

ahh i see

plucky flax
#

But even at like 50% peril warp splitting does more than ethereal shards.

hard hamlet
#

so between the 2 warp splitting is the better pick because it works on both

plucky flax
#

Yeah and it does more too.

#

At high peril it's 100% cleave which is huge for your big sword.

hard hamlet
#

hmm, wonder if a MKVIII would be good with it or if i should switch

prime elk
#

i like mk viii

#

but a lot of people like mk vi

#

personal pref

ripe obsidian
#

I prefer VIII

ornate hamlet
#

i like the mk6

#

mk6 > mk8

nocturne dust
#

I prefer 6 chadgryn

patent mango
#

mk6 is jolly

plucky flax
plucky flax
#

(me bad and explode on mk8)

#

For trying to do push attack at 100% peril.

ornate hamlet
#

superior siblings use the mk6

ornate hamlet
nocturne dust
#

The 6 gets a heavy stab after ranged attack, and the ranged staggers a whole lot more enemies than a single-target push attack

#

You can also still push to expose bulwarks and crushers and then just heavy them to death

half turtle
#

hm how good is the special attack on fgs with no charge

#

is it ever worth doing

nocturne dust
#

Just for stagger, but still worth it to stagger

#

Surprise the crap out of a whole patrol with a warp slice, knock off a few of them before they can even react, and then just slice em again KEKW_ogryn

#

You can also save friends from dogs through walls with the slice

wind spruce
#

(Even better if it wasn't @split lance)

half turtle
#

what mod do you use for the peril bar

ripe obsidian
#

VI has a much better heavy chain for dealing with elites. I just can't get the horde combo to feel good for me.

#

I know it's just like L1 L2 H3 or something, not complex

#

Just doesn't feel good

ripe obsidian
half turtle
#

oh weird i guess i never noticed it had that option or i turned it off years ago and forgot

#

thanks

plucky flax
#

Repeat whatthefuck_heresy

#

hello, anyone got an auric psyker build? much appreciated

nocturne dust
plucky flax
#

Yes just light spam is nice too.

nocturne dust
#

Optimization unneeded

prime elk
#

given how powerful force pushes are anyway

potent echo
#

For mk6 horde clear I usually just do a heavy whenever I see the uppercut to the left

#

Either that or I swap to throw assail because it would be the time when peril starts to drop

ornate hamlet
prime elk
#

you may need to update if you're seeing problems

@nocturne dust Since you mentioned recording with steam, I gave it a try and got our havoc 40 run. I tried to trim the video in youtube editor; we'll see after if that processes.

For now the run is up. Thanks for letting me know about that feature.

Doing Havoc 40 with my buds running purg/ infero bubble because I need meta tools.

Probably have to do manual testing Servoskull

ripe obsidian

Well, it looks like 5 poxwalkers on relic X, so something like 8 cleave.

Could you help to test the activated swing (melee portion) too?

It's a website that has plenty of info on weapon damage/cleave values

It's kinda unintuitive to use

next venture
#

Support / Smite Psyker looking to get into Auric / Havoc missions. Any major tips I should know? Already dug into builds, gotten my curios refined and weapons to 500, and looked up their optimal combos.

fallow stream
next venture
#

Bubble? Huh... no one ever stood in it

fallow stream
#

high havoc has made me re-evaluate my stance on psykers

next venture
#

Admittedly my biggest sin was trying a Havoc with the mind set of using Smite to CC entire swarms / elites to keep them locked down. Did nothing but smite

ripe obsidian
#

Purgatus and Blaze Trauma staves work best due to their infinite cleave against the 320% mass horde enemies, and soulblaze bypasses a lot of Havoc's resistance modifiers. Maybe all of them? Not sure.

next venture
#

Ah, might be time to level a new staff then

#

I've been using a Electrokinetic / Voidstrike

ripe obsidian
#

Smite and Surge staff are often better as a secondary psyker rather than primary

#

Voidstrike struggles.

next venture
#

I used to carry it for the meaty WHAP you get on an elite kill

ripe obsidian
#

Voidstrike has something like 12 cleave, and when a basic poxwalker has 4.8 hitmass...

next venture
#

And been struggling to get Electro to arc to which guy I want in a swarm. Will try to get the 2 you mentioned. https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ba81400-4c60-4362-9756-f93428dfc021/azyr-psyker-smite-venting-shriek-empowered-psionics Main build I was trying out

GamesLantern.com

Psyker build for Warhammer 40k: Darktide, using the Deimos Mk IV Blaze Force Sword and Nomanus Mk VI Electrokinetic Force Staff. Created by Crukih.

I'm sure you could make it work, but it will be harder than using Purgatus or Trauma

Smiter in high havoc WeirdChamp

ripe obsidian
#

Hey, I had a secondary psyker smiting for me in a havoc 40 game earlier

potent echo
#

Is smite bad in havocs

ripe obsidian
#

Made things easy. And kinda boring at parts.

potent echo
#

Haven't tried smiting yet

ripe obsidian
#

It's fine. Same issues as any smyker.

#

Interactivity goes out the window.

next venture
#

As I understand in higher levels you smite just long enough to get them to freeze then shove and switch to your staff / sword, right?

ripe obsidian
#

Also 85% slower vent means you gotta spend more time venting

potent echo
#

You smite and smite again

#

Swapping? No

plucky flax
#

But you can do damage and cc at the same time.

#

With trauma.

ripe obsidian
next venture
#

So rather than channel you basically mass shove spam?

ripe obsidian
#

Channel is better imo

potent echo
#

Shove spam doesn't work too well

#

Because the smite needs to spread

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, I think high havoc enemies will laugh at the stagger attempt

potent echo
#

You probably can't kill anymore even with EP

Gonna be a bit annoying to relevel a staff's mastery to get it to 500, but be nice to get out of difficulty 3

Example: breakpoint for cleaving 5 poxwalkers is, I think, just over 6 cleave. 1.5 mass each, and anything past 6 would go into a fifth one. I think that's how it works

#

In non-havoc, EP smite with smite upgrades (not charged strikes) does more damage than non EP but is still a PC, shriek, wildfire, and Psyk aura enabler.

wind spruce

#

Unless you and your team are very good about not getting shreded by ranged in high havoc, EP smite + shriek will not be a great choice as the only psyker.

I can reliably get through Difficulty 3 but fully died on a Havoc 19 to gunner spam. Felt like I should hang back and learn much more before trying to go to 4 then up to Auric

Most people in here don't use a lot of bubble or smite in auric dams and maels.

Also, a lot of builds for high havoc are more defensive than what's recommended for aurics.

ripe obsidian
#

Auric is very forgiving in comparison

strong gulch
#

Yes. So much so that you either feel like a god or get super confident sloppy and go down in absurd ways.

next venture
#

Like getting jumped by 4 reapers pre firing us going through a door, yikes

strong gulch
#

Remembering to be weary of doors, archways, new rooms, and knowing how and when to supress things.

#

4 reapers is not that bad. Though in T3, I can def see that as unusual and therefore harder to deal with.

next venture
#

Admittedly we were down a guy and rushing in. There were other elites but the reapers were all I saw

ripe obsidian

Tbh I don't know how to suppress things beyond, "I am shooting at you now, either die or run away"

I enjoy throwing down an aggressive bubble and running forward spamming LMB to scare all the shooters

#

I will say tho, relying on CC tools makes you worse at melee. Sometimes you have to use melee to get out of tough situations or that is your best boss / monster damage.

#

Learning to reposition and kite things is important.

ripe obsidian
#

I spent my first 300ish levels on Zealot. My melee skills are... okay. Not the best, but I can usually crab-slide my way out of danger

#

I do enjoy poking crushers in the face with the DS4. Reminds me of doing the same to Chaos Warriors as WHC

Yeah. Crab and slide away is important.

if it's for havoc definitely cdr

# maiden oracle Running 2 toughness 1 stamina on melee psyker what should the sub stats be

CDR is always good. Gunner resist is probably good. I don't stack all of the toughness and don't main melee. @clear heath would have a better take than me.

Stam regen is ehh on psyker tho. They already have good stam regen.

Like Kat said, it kinda whatever and personal pref for non-havoc. That being said, the general rec is 200hp and x1 sniper resist. That let's you take a sniper shot and 2 burster. If you never get sniped or don't care, that 200hp is still recommended for the odd silent burster.

vernal temple

it's the same thing

All bursters are silent for me though my audio cuts out whenever a horde spawns

Souldrinker is a contender for the worst perk in the game

#

And the rending one doesn't even work

#

It doesn't refresh, so you can only gain the buff once it expires

20+ crits in 4 seconds? Only the first one counted and you have 1 second of the buff left

The next crit to count/trigger it only does so once the first one completely expires

Also is warp battery good?

And for Havoc, these curios

Corrupt resist cause you'll likely be in the goo a lot with that setup

#

Makes sure you don't cross a wound before a zealot piety cleanses you

upper sun
#

this dude has 3 toughness

radiant ice
#

For Auric, your standard Curio setup of 2T, 1H or 2T, 1S should be fine

radiant ice
#

Usually it's a nice extra but not mandatory

#

There is certainly an argument for this layout too:

#

Which I personally prefer

#

And lastly, this is the setup I'd use if it was my build

hearty wolf

#

Mess around with all 3 layouts and see what works, and make any changes to your playstyle as needed @ornate abyss

dense valley
hearty wolf
#

It makes a lot of sense, but hm. I don't think I could rip myself off toughness just because of what it is.

radiant ice

Corruption Resist, although the most swappable perk of the 3, shines on the squishy Psyker up in those levels

radiant ice
#

20 whole Toughness

hearty wolf
#

That's enough for me

radiant ice
#

The difference in Health is around 160 iirc

hearty wolf
#

Because then funny number reaches 100

ornate abyss
#

Hmm
Toughness is that bad in havoc?
But very good in aurics

radiant ice
radiant ice
#

The hidden modifiers in Havoc kill Toughness

#

But it's incredible in Auric

hearty wolf
#

I don't really think it matters... If you're getting hit that much anyway

#

You're eating it with gold toughness or you're cringe and taking damage

radiant ice
#

That's over 140hp from a med stim, that's corruption barely taking 1% after being dogged for a few seconds

#

That's flamers barely touching you

hearty wolf
#

I'm not saying it doesn't. I mean with that much hp and that little toughness, you've made the case

radiant ice
#

That's goo and pox gas barely touching you

hearty wolf
#

I don't have any argument for toughness

#

It looks like garbage

radiant ice
#

They took our Toughness Grace, so we gotta adapt Xd

#

In Auric though, I am absolutely Toughness stacking XD

hearty wolf
#

Maybe if they make havoc 50 and just remove toughness

radiant ice
#

They basically already do at 35

#

It's lucky if it absorbs a single bullet

hearty wolf
#

I swear I can eat like 5 rounds

#

I guess I'll swap over to hp anyways out of curiosity

radiant ice
#

I mean with a few slides, I have crossed entire open rooms filled with gunners in Havoc 40

#

And barely took any damage, if any depending how awake I am for the movement tech XD

hearty wolf
#

So what you're saying is stamina, sprint efficiency and stamina efficiency

#

Got it

#

+9 stamina incoming

radiant ice
#

I mean, unironically yes

#

That can work if you're a movement god

#

Or a Zealot

#

Toughness is just crap in Havoc XD

hearty wolf
#

20 toughness versus 200 health is just so wild though

#

That's kinda fucked up

quartz barn
#

Only dodge on i-frames chadgryn

radiant ice
#

Iirc my Psyker in Havoc 40 has 285 hp

hearty wolf
#

With 100 toughness though I'm sure I'm not eating corruption bleed through though

radiant ice
#

That's 15hp off an Ogryn in Standard

#

At Havoc 40, the most toughness I could stack is 80ish

quartz barn
hearty wolf
#

Do you know the % reductions for tightness and hp?

quartz barn
#

With 3x5%

radiant ice
#

The toughness reduction is brutal, it affects everything

#

As a multiplier

#

The HP one is just a flat number reduction

hearty wolf
#

O that's good to know

radiant ice
#

So you can still stack HP and the only difference is being like 15-30 down. Can't remember the exact number off the top of my head

hearty wolf
#

No wonder hp is so much of a better stack

quartz barn
hearty wolf
#

Now we just need a m
Passive

#

OO

#

I NOT SEEN THIS

#

VERY GOOD

quartz barn
radiant ice
#

That doesn't seem to line up with my own testing

#

But then again, we don't have Havoc in meat grinder for some reason

quartz barn
#

This is from one of the blogs afaik

hearty wolf
#

@quartz barn are the tiers explained? At which havoc level?

radiant ice
#

Regardless, build HP in havoc XD

quartz barn
#

Also remember that meat grinder is slightly off due to scuffed rounding

radiant ice
#

(That was a low tier havoc but still, point stands XD)

#

And I was running a stam curio iirc

quartz barn
#

From what i know the tiers = emperors light mod

#

So most are t1 while 30+ is t2

radiant ice
#

Nah 35 is it's own bracket

quartz barn
#

Idk when t3 starts cuz im only at clearance 34 Sitgryn

radiant ice
#

That has a big whack of new hidden modifiers and reductions

#

Some of which are missing from that table

#

Every hit deals corruption damage for example

#

85% quell penalty

#

Which it looks like they marked as vent, but I am sure heat vent is a different number

quartz barn
#

That is listed actually

#

Enemy melee attack corruption

radiant ice
#

Ah yeah, it doesn't specify who though

#

1-29 is just existing corrupting enemies

quartz barn
#

Ye its not a great list

radiant ice
#

30-34 is some specials/elites gaining corruption attacks

#

35+ is all the fuckers

quartz barn
#

I thought all already had it at all time?

#

Like 10% of dmg dealt is also taken as corruption for example

radiant ice
#

Not until 35+

#

Unless they have the corrupting modifier on your havoc run

quartz barn
#

Ooh wait didnt realize thats seperate

wind spruce
#

bro dominaya

#

you say i have bad takes 💀

#

holy shit

#

"worst perk in the game"

#

hahahaha

radiant ice
wind spruce
#

yes

radiant ice
#

I can't think of a single worse perk across any class

wind spruce
#

💀

radiant ice
#

It's literally worse than the normal +5% crit chance node

#

At least it's always up

wind spruce
#

it can proc from infinite range from any psykers soulblaze, its guaranteed on soulblaze KB but can still proc otherwise

radiant ice
#

But can't refresh

wind spruce
#

if you have even two psykers with purg/blaze trauma it starts popping

radiant ice
#

It turns on once, waits 5 seconds then turns off

#

Then there is the natural buff delay in the game of about 0.5s before you can gain it again

#

No matter how many crits you land in that time

wind spruce
#

you know it gives toughness back aswell, right?

radiant ice
#

It's straight up worse than the rending perk, despite it not working. At least it allows you to take Warp Siphon without ER on builds that need that

wind spruce
#

yes with one psyker its crap

radiant ice
#

Souldrinker is useless and way out the way

wind spruce
#

but soon as you have two

radiant ice
wind spruce
#

im not arguing to build towards it

#

but its not even close to as garbage as you're making out

radiant ice
#

Literally any of these are better

#

And no build uses them all

wind spruce
#

they literally arent depending on your build and # of psykers

radiant ice
#

So just take another instead of Souldrinker and at least get some benefit

#

I literally yesterday made a build purely to try make Souldrinker work and have value in a Havoc 4 game, for a bit of fun

#

No matter what I tried, the results were worse than picking literally any other node with my free point

#

It's awful

wind spruce
#

how many psykers

radiant ice
#

2

#

Other even had the inferno staff

#

It's still just useless

#

Stand in a bubble

#

Get a warp attack kill

#

Quell a little

#

Be in coherency

#

All give better Toughness rates than Souldrinker

#

And the crit node is the same thing but your crit chance doesn't turn off every 5 seconds

wind spruce
#

5% crit most of the time when it matters (lots of enemies, drawn out fight) and more toughness than probably quietude and definitely warp expenditure, especially when you're running ER

radiant ice
#

With the perk being broken, no

wind spruce
#

good if you have two soulblaze psykers, great once you have three+

radiant ice
#

At that point you're running a meme team anyway

#

And if you need a full team running memes to get some value out of a broke perk, it ain't a good perk

wind spruce
#

i literally made the caveat its only good with 2+ psykers

#

and multiple psykers in havoc is hardly a meme

clear heath
#

2 psykers is pretty normal

radiant ice
#

And even 2, there is way better teams to run

#

With 2 to really work, you only want one on Inferno

#

Otherwise they're just doing the same thing and not really any more effective than just 1

#

Except making that crappy perk work a tiny bit better than being a total point waste

wind spruce
#

yeah you're right, theres absolutely no benefit to having two psykers other than souldrinker

#

based

radiant ice
#

Two inferno Psykers, not really

#

If Psyker 1 really fucks up and their bubble expires before the next one is off cooldown

#

You get an extra bubble I guess

wind spruce
#

i usually go for one trauma one inferno, not two infernos

#

pretty sure others do the same

#

and its hardly fucking up if your bubble gets shredded in roughly the minimum time

#

it happens

radiant ice
#

Place it better, and kill the gunners

#

Just cause you have a dome doesn't mean you forget how to position

hearty wolf
# quartz barn

This is actually making me laugh. Holy shit I'm so clueless. The only thing I could tell in all of this was that there were more monsters.

Also what would you change in the build to make it more auric-compatible?

acoustic isle

yeah the plan wouldnt be to leave anyone behind it would just be timing charge rotations around corners and chokepoints and shielding up while people went for station charges etc.
