So..an ogryn! 
No. I’m not that big and strong
you dont want me to make a reddit post about you
Im perma banned on Reddit
You don’t wanna mess with me
The more important question is what type of ogryn are you? The bodyguard? The brawler or the bully? 
bully
I was wondering what the best Force Sword Masteries are
Are all of them good?
I'm new and trying to learn
not blazing spirit or bloodthirsty on FS
Idk wat you mean by masteries
Its all a little overwhelming
bodyguard/brawler. im a gentle lill guy, but i also won a couple high ranking awards for wrestling so
Like uncanny strike?
I think I just carried 2 people from like 29 up to 40.
probably blessings
Greetings siblings, how fare ye all today?
Uncanny, slaughterer
Its under the masteries tab
are the two best blessings
Deflector is a major preference pick but some people like it enough to run it.
someone gimme a vod review
Top shelf, extra rashuns for ya
i just got done making a reddit post about you, how do you feel now?
link it
Yeah, one was 29 and the other was 34.
Is that to good to be true?
Am I reading that right?
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.

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!

Tysm
this isnt reddit
ill eat all of it
Ya this is discord
ARES GIVE ME TRUE SURVIVOR!! AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!
anyways as i was saying
the reason you shouldnt let psykers into your team
because theyre all just a big liability
Right?
Too obvious, try harder next time. @ornate hamlet
i lied im a fucking nerd
smh my head
tbf tho i think i was at 300 2 weeks ago
Hard to know my play time because my steam is used by my partner and I both
is there any way to see how many ive played recently
oopsie
I mean you can look at scoreboard history
but otherwise no
how much time spent in the psykhanium and fiddling with gear? who knows!
i know like 400 of those hours is psyker
@strong gulch can u check this steam section for me pls, on darktide
🙃
siblings is someone posting bait again
95% of my own time is Psyker
Yes
i would not say it is 95% for me
i have MAYBE 20hrs on zealot
thats it
but probably a solid 40-50%
it's kinda comedic because i saw ogryn on launch
63.8 hrs
and my first character was ogryn
and that really massively fucked up my perception when i went to zealot
my first character was zealot
I mean you have the damage but the corruption is just gonna kill you before you kill it
I started with zealot, then heard the voice lines of the masc Loner, and I was sold
you cant die from the corruption aura it caps at like 50% or so of your max hp
i think psyker was my third
yea so last 2 weeks ive put in 100
i was at 300hrs before havox
found out that surge staff can skip shooter encounters so i can get back to meleeing faster
great success
i remember arguing and sending a ss in here
I will be a few minutes, I am in ze restroom
🚽
bio donation
I'm calling your bluff, I want a full description.
I just made some bomb food with leftovers.
is it food for bombs
its green after i ate one of those black buned hamburgers
food made with bombs
A pale, bright-ish brown with a hue of green on one side. It's not very reflective in the yellow lighting, as one might expect of such an object.
I cannot confirm nor deny
or, option three, is the taste explosive?
You need to get your gut microbiome in check, that's a decent amount of undigested fat.
smh

(It’s this one
)
I have IBS.

Fair.
A severe case too.
relatable
OOF sorry fren
this sounds very detrimental for melee
your build link doesnt work for me idk why
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.
and sometimes it hurts anyway
It makes sense why you play Psyker
Dinner creation: gluten-free because my digestive system hates me, cheeseburger-inspired burger macaroni. I’m only having a little bit because of protein restrictions
The ways I relate. So. Much.
Is there a preferred Relic Blade mark on Zealot?
bruh, I have a fucked up stomach too. I don't even have a clue what foods trigger me because there's so many
This life man. It’s rough.
X is better imo
yall know the link between digestive issues and autism? living example 
Strong single target combos and flexible horde clear combos
i prefer 2 personally
Omg YES
but both good
I've never been tested for autism. I don't think I have it, but I wouldn't be that surprised if I did.
I mean, you're here. red flag 🚨
ONE OF US
I'm finding 2s combos to be weird. Like, 2 attacks, then locked into a repeated 3/4
i like how 2 flows more
can also pretty easily swap between multitarget and single target combos
That’s what I’m running with
siblings is it autistic to become one with the warp?
or to let the warp flow through you
Yes
yt household appliance man
If it is, I don’t want to be neurotypical
(Spoiler alert: I don’t want to be anyway)
what about sheltering simpletons
No
idk being normal sounds like much less of a hassle
not that anyone gets a choice

letting the warp flow through you is also what i call shitting my pants
bait account
huh
its not even good bait
I'm a psycher main and I'm not enjoying my experience lol
But also like a much less interesting perspective on the world, no? Let’s stay interesting. 
I know this is lore accurate
bait used to be believable 🚬
how is it bait if im sharing a personal experience
but my God it's like we're playing a completely different game than everyone else
the only time I shii meself is when I got food poisoning from my dad's cooking, lmao
dramatization
medium rare chicken isnt a thing
nurgle cult spreading in the siblings channel
the whole house got sick but him
How very unfortunate. We must be on the lookout for signs of daemonic possession.
shitting yourself is actually very much approved by Papa Nurgle
i shit my pants earlier today so i could get out of a meeting
You should shit yourself in the meeting on purpose, and stay to assert dominance.
The way of a real gangster.
it was a nurgle moment. the worst part was I had to vom at the same time and had to choose between shi or vom. 
psykers thinking they’re smarter than zealots will always be funny to me
because the sink and toilet are too far apart, lmao
no i mean just do both in the meeting 😄
o lol
sit down on the toilet to shit, hold a basin to vom. must we teach you life's basics, old man?
This is the way 
It's normal surge but with kf and no soulstealer. A bit risky but more damage. I'd run the smite version 90% of the time tho
Uuuhhh
At the start of the video
https://youtu.be/AVCEy5nSqgw
Where explody enemies?!
Patch 1.5.10
Power Matrix HL-17-36 · Repair · Damnation - Hi-Intensity Mutated Horrors (Power Supply Interruption)
Loadout: Illisi Force Sword / Smite / Electrokinetic Force Staff
00:00: Build
01:31 Game Starts
It's comfy and you just spam staff. Smite when things get hairy. Press f a lot at 84%+ peril
So just this build and drop soul stealer for kf?
cutoff for 6 stacks
of soulblaze
venting shriek gives more soulblaze/more stagger depending on peril
rlly? i thought it was 85%?
it's actually 69%
Is Scrier's Gaze worth testing on a staff build or should I always stick with Venting Shriek?
What is kf again
Yeah essentially. It's more damage but less toughness regen. If you stick with teammates it's still okay
kinetic fullness
it's actually 83.333333...% i think, cuz it's 5/6
Kinetic flayer. Free bb on monster elites and specials
it's very good with staves cause you have access to warp unbound
kinetic flayer is like a few hundred dps for free but it does overkill a ton
it's fun though
Yes but you can run your own preferences too
it’s the better one for voidstrike
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
And sometimes it gets wasted on a random poxer
not any more! they changed this
Oh I didn't know
yeah i think that's why people started running it more
it fucks in aurics, it's ok but not amazing in (high) havoc
Is Empyric Shock or Warp Splitting also worth it for staff spam attack builds?
esp because bb is ranged so it does 0 damage to guys with pus-hardened
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
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
oh yeah definitely
i think it's still good but it just doesn't feel quite as strong as it does in auric
Because havoc enemies are thicker iirc
yeah basically, in general i'd say spike damage is worse in havocs because bps are harder to hit (and dots are better bc they get longer to burn, and also ignore pus-hardened)
no, enemies have less health in havoc, there’s just more of them so they feel tankier
Inner Tranquility + Penetration of the soul OR Essence Harvest + Empyric Resolve? Opinions?
it's really frustrating to have to brain-burst gunners twice to kill them on havoc 35+
Huh definitely more hp
crushers have around 8k hp on havoc 40 iirc
Doppio gas lighting
and only 3600 on damnation

well havocs under ~20 i think have weaker enemies than damnation? i think??
im not sure
It's heresy after all
im still wondering how i didnt die here
Yellow toughness OP
it really is
^^^
funny how i get more yellow toughness than actual toughness
still took over a wound of purple though LOL
the fact that gold toughness stacks is super busted
it was the diahrea pool modifer
yea doesnt 2 books give 200 toughness
kinda op if u ask me
you took the purple cuz in havocs enemies do % purple damage in melee
you can see it stacked up when you got hit
oh that makes sense
Yeah, havoc enemies all do corruption damage
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
even the corrupter?
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
And on high levels an overhead crusher chop deletes u
That's why Crushers are insta--you already said it
@cyan portal
If you look him in the eye long enough
ive been flattened by a crusher once or twice tbf
I would call you a liar if you said otherwise
speaking of, if you get flattened by a crusher does that not count against true survivor?

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
yeah instant deaths don't count as downs LOL
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
fatshart devs try not to be lazy challenge (impossible)
this makes me wonder, if you overload on psyker and jump off a ledge ur char wont grab on bc hes busy grabbing his head, and bc u fall off u dont 'go down' i wonder if this would work in a true survivor run
it's possible ledging itself counts as a down
would be a funny prank
hmm my understanding is that losing control of your character just makes you explode immediatley but i've never tried a ledge
but if you overload and get grabbed by a mutant you blow up immediately
instead of finishing the animation
that is true
i recall you kinda just yell all the way down and still blow up
but u dont 'go down'
If you are overloading you can't exactly jump.
hold at 100 peril, jump, then overload
is how
The poor psyker, not only is his brain about to fry, but he also gets yoinked by a screaming buff dude
i do it whenever i finish a train mission
Why would you intentionally do this
Or just walk off a ledge, done it plenty of times lol
to cause other people trouble, why do i do most things that i do?
Pls give me your fatshark ID so I can block you

what's a fatshark ID?
The social tab.
Do you know how to navigate steam because that would do 😂
nobody has any doubts about that
damn gottem
What perks and blessings for force sword
It doesn’t even have wrath
I thought uncanny slaughterer was the play
Uncanny slaught is great
As a psyker what’s the best way of dealing with dogs
stab them in the head with the dueling sword as they jump at you
if you can't do that reliably, shoving is fine too
for the deimos
mayhaps
but the illsi is the superior one
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
Does the purg staff melee
Stop dogs?
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
My
Lmb hasn’t stopped them from pouncing me wth
could be lag
Works well on bursters idk what’s up
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
siblings, what blessings do we like on the mkVIII big sword

8 is based
Wrath + choose your own adventure is the current go to. Some of the blessings are meh tho. Second blessing are generally shred/ riposte/ unstable
she look like someone youd see in a tatooine background shot
teammate kills me and himself with a barrel, losing us the game https://youtu.be/eN2Rud2jyXI?si=5mRz1uaHZNEVrq2t
beautiful etiquette
if you're peril edging, run unstable power + shred/riposte
otherwise wrath + shred/riposte
But there is also unstable + riposte with warp splitting (talent on right side).
when we meleeker with this weapon do we try to get the dodge extender talent or nah
not necessary
nice to have but pretty much never worth the 2 points you need to path to get there
mhm
Me with shred riposte 
Not sure your crit chance is high enough. Do better
Tru 
that would be funny... but i need cleave still lol
I cleave with.. assails 
And yes warp splitting too
@plucky flax We did it, we got 40.
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.
Zealot throwing knife makes me miss Assail
Now for True Survivor
I don't want to aim
ye
Why 2 hp 1 toughness curio btw
It's just your preference mane
i use 2 tough one stam
Ah ok
Everyone else but me died so I am perfect and need no improvement
(I was zealot)
378k melee damge is 'okay' for me since I use assails a lot more than sword 
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1317997345732034691/image.png?ex=676209ae&is=6760b82e&hm=d1637c98c1487dcee6687233a518487d86b3f5d9339c118eb70243848298aa21&
Classic baross with no one doing objective at mid event.
😩
I cannot wait until I am done Havoc penances and I have more than 6 maps to choose from
are you doing gaze/empowered assail
Assails creeping flames DD
DD boost your melee too
tru 😮
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 
can i see how ya build that
25 stacks too hard to keep
It's right at the start

Enclavum Baross · Strike · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop & Mutants Gauntlet (Hunting Grounds) (Cooldowns Reduced)
nice thanks
Not as strong as surge creeping flames spam
But it's just so nice to play juggling all your tools.
oh hey! ive watched your videos before 😄
It's good to help you manage psyker's weaponaries
Blitz melee range and your ability. You use it all.
no ethereal shards on assail, interesting 🤔
The warp splitting is your cleave talent. It increases both melee and assails.
okie doke
I can't find another spare point for it sadly otherwise I'd take it too for even more cleave.
ahh i see
But even at like 50% peril warp splitting does more than ethereal shards.
so between the 2 warp splitting is the better pick because it works on both
Yeah and it does more too.
At high peril it's 100% cleave which is huge for your big sword.
hmm, wonder if a MKVIII would be good with it or if i should switch
I prefer VIII
I prefer 6 

mk6 is jolly
Play what you want. I personally prefer 6.

superior siblings use the mk6
i didn’t know you blow up to this till yesterday 🥲 i was so confused i had to clip it
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
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 
You can also save friends from dogs through walls with the slice
Awesome
(Even better if it wasn't @split lance)
what mod do you use for the peril bar
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
oh weird i guess i never noticed it had that option or i turned it off years ago and forgot
thanks
Easiest is to push, then light heavy.
Repeat 
hello, anyone got an auric psyker build? much appreciated
Yes just light spam is nice too.
Optimization unneeded
eh the VIII's isn't far behind
given how powerful force pushes are anyway
Did they fix this not affecting the vanilla peril gauge?
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
this isn’t the psyker chat
been working perfectly fine for me at least
you may need to update if you're seeing problems
just tried your vent/assail/2h sword build in a quickplay, came in halfway thru the stage and won on damage 😮
Scoreboard only counts damage since you joined

@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.
Also did a 4 psyker with surge/ EK + shriek run that went badly. (I was scared and confused the whole time. Wtf was I doing??)
Build for the purg/ infero bubble build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9dbe5e55-6d6f-4455-87ca-0ae9de736cd3/havoc-40-purg-in...
You should change the colour of the debuff text and make it just show the number of stacks. So much more aesthetic to just have the numbers rather than 50 different "soulblaze", "rending" etc tags floating around
Didn't even realize I could do that. I might look into that.

counterpoint: reading

Too hard
Too hard is a good point.
It's worth changing it
Your brain processes the colours much more easily, and it's prettier
And it's easy to change in the mod settings
Coloured numbers 
Numbers good
Colors added. 
Any idea the cleave value for the FGS and Relic Blades? I would use the breakpoint calculator, but it appears not to be updated
Probably have to do manual testing 
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?
I think it goes through carapace
WHATS A BREAK POINT
caps
ofo
oof
Darktide Breakpoint calculator
It's a website that has plenty of info on weapon damage/cleave values
But it has not been updated to include FGS/Hstubber stuff
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by manshanko.
It's kinda unintuitive to use
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.
Bubble? Huh... no one ever stood in it
high havoc has made me re-evaluate my stance on psykers
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
Stick together, throw down endless bubbles, you die if you get sneezed on. Zealots will read you stories from their holy book so long as you kill everything that moves.
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.
Ah, might be time to level a new staff then
I've been using a Electrokinetic / Voidstrike
Smite and Surge staff are often better as a secondary psyker rather than primary
Voidstrike struggles.
I used to carry it for the meaty WHAP you get on an elite kill
Voidstrike has something like 12 cleave, and when a basic poxwalker has 4.8 hitmass...
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
I'm sure you could make it work, but it will be harder than using Purgatus or Trauma
The elite health buff also dumpsters voidstrike
Smiter in high havoc 
Hey, I had a secondary psyker smiting for me in a havoc 40 game earlier
Is smite bad in havocs
Made things easy. And kinda boring at parts.
Haven't tried smiting yet
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?
Also 85% slower vent means you gotta spend more time venting
I don't honestly know. I haven't played smyker... ever.
So rather than channel you basically mass shove spam?
Channel is better imo
Yeah, I think high havoc enemies will laugh at the stagger attempt
You probably can't kill anymore even with EP
Trauma is good and fun. Knock everything over. Laugh at them.
Writes all this down Good...good. I assume save smiting for swarms with elites mixed in? Swarms of just infected can be ripped open
I think almost every horde is gonna have a lot of elites mixed in
Fair
The Havoc 40 I did earlier, I had like 230 elite kills, and another guy had 180
Bring a gun that kills specials
What’s a breakpoint tho
Depends. I often rely on my teammates to deal with specials. My build does not do well at it.
Specific number that you need to reach or exceed to perform a specific task.
I almost only target specials. Unless i literally can’t
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
If you are soing EP smite, shove spam is not ideal. You might as well go Warp Siphon for CDR.
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
I'll go with Smite channel / Bubble
I tend to target elites and trash mobs. The ubiquitous plasma veteran deletes specials
In VT2 breakpoints refer more to 1/2 shot kill on elite/specials
Breakpoints can be a lot of things
Do plasma vets have any ammo though 
Being able to one-bop certain enemies is probably the most common use of the term
Usually. Ammo aura does work.
Oh yea so many elites, even with the cooldown
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.
If you're still struggling in difficulty three I'd suggest ditching bubble AND smite so you can more effectively learn other mechanics
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.
surge shriek
id recommend
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.
I'd recommend the dodge and slide buttons
I also feel sheepish about being the only non Auric title in HAvocs
Havoc 19 is difficulty 4.
ill run auric w u
High havoc shooter damage vs auric dams are worlds apart.
Alot of skillchecks are map knowledge checks
This is true.
Is it 1-10 is Malice and 11-20 is Heresy?
imagine knowing the maps
It's also just queues that no one can teach, like reacting correctly to backstabs, specials, muzzle flash, etc
Also, a lot of builds for high havoc are more defensive than what's recommended for aurics.
Auric is very forgiving in comparison
Yes. So much so that you either feel like a god or get super confident sloppy and go down in absurd ways.
Like getting jumped by 4 reapers pre firing us going through a door, yikes
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.
Admittedly we were down a guy and rushing in. There were other elites but the reapers were all I saw
Tbh I don't know how to suppress things beyond, "I am shooting at you now, either die or run away"
Last non 3 I ran which made me really buckle down and learn DT
press f
If I am using Shriek or Book, sure
I mean that is pretty much it. You can also grief the vet by making everything hide. 
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.
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.
Anyway, it is 3am. I must slumber. Fare thee well.
My current place wifi is not too strong.
Veri sad.
Might be laggy even on SEA server.
Speaking of relying on CC, I miss levitating chaos warriors and stabbing them. 
Trauma staff to grief your entire team. Lmb to suppress everyone, rmb to kill toughness regen of the zealot and ogryn 
shoot near enemy
enemy scared
enemy cower
enemy wait for you to shoot them

Guys I feel so weak with the new greatsword for psyker. I love the looks and horde clear, but I can't figure out how to consistently kill mutants and crushers etc. I am severely underperforming compared to my team
Heavy attacks
That’s like
It
Pick DD
You heavy attack them
You need DD for mutant breakpoint
25% maniac might also be enough
And yea mk6 spam heavy works great
Also make sure you hit heads etc
Fire trauma with wildlife to grief orher psykers. 
This moveset chart should help. #psyker-class message
Idk if you can mod, but creature spawner would help a lot in practicing on those enemies in isolation.
Using the (melee portion of) activate on FGS is also great vs clumps of elites, especially maulers/crushers
Just think of it like an Uber illisi

What do you guys like to use on BFG? I have wrath and unstable power
But I might just ditch the BFG for the DS. The latter outperforms the former in killing elites and like everything else
I unga bunga double crit blessings (shred riposte)
is it able to kill stuff then? My sword only works at 70+ peril
yes
Peril should barely make a difference
There's like 50 other different damage modifiers in our kit, especially if you're running right side
I use unstable power blessing
Is this for havoc? And what ranged weapon?
Yes it's for havoc but it should be more than alright in regular aurics too
I'd drop warp battery for souldrinker since you're running blaze trauma
Think it'll do much difference? This is a build that I got of yt though. I wanted to try the new sword and have bubble for a defensive style havocesque build
It's fine for havoc, but yes you might aswell grab soul drinker since it's one point away
It's a good talent
Especially if there's more than one psyker
Kinda weird blaze trauma without perfect timing.
What is the dump stat for greatswords ?
Warp res
Thx, generally speaking what is the consensus on thoses new weapons ?
Great generalist weapon
Do you have a build like this that might be better? Or I'll just take souldrinker and try practising more
Running 2 toughness 1 stamina on melee psyker what should the sub stats be
I was thinking toughness and gunner res but idk if I should take stamina regen or cdr for the 3rd option
if it's for havoc definitely cdr
Nah not havoc
Not good enough for that yet I don’t think I’m even ready for auric mael
then you can do whatever
Alright
I just noticed, why the fuck is there a russian coat of arms on this backpack? 
My ability is scriers gaze btw in case that changes anything
Play a few games of havoc, after that auric maelstrom will seem easier, beat auric maelstrom and then you are ready for havoc 
I been using it mostly for rushing into mixed hordes
Don’t really know what else to pop it on
Why is Ogryn gear red, and why does it have stars on it
It's blood
I really think ObeseFish should change that. Real world politics is the last thing I wanna see in my Darktide. Specially anything russian, with the war that's going on right next door for me 
Is that even a Russian one? 
yes
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.
google "russian coat of arms" and compare
it's the same thing
Got it
All bursters are silent for me though my audio cuts out whenever a horde spawns
Artist getting lazy by copy pasting the first result for eagle emblem that looked cool
Should have used the Prussian coat of arms, clearly cooler
So far I do extremely violent jerky 180s every couple of seconds and ping hordes to check for specials and it’s been going pretty alright
I should probably install that mod that adds visual indicators for incoming specials
Just use your ears 
Yeah every so often i got silent bursters too
It wont make any noise for me until it's already diving
On my end the sound queue is missplaced from time to time
Like the sound comes from behind but the burster is in front
i'll hear the spawn screech. But then no beeps
I hear nothing
There was one right on a spawn door i was next too. Was killing trappers snd flamers just for one of them to explode on me

Welcome to the club my friend
Havoc 40 blaze trauma
lol
big number
Would probably be higher with burga but I wanted to have some cc for extra safety.
Yes. Definitely big number.
Felt. Those thicc mixed hordes can be scary.
SEA moment
Did anyone here played assassins creed Unity
agree completely on stam regen for two reasons:
- our regen is fine
- with kinetic deflection we're the least stam dependent class
so its like double eh
this dood eats ammo for breakfast
i just say i take relic bolter in 40s and do fine
and also dont feel the urge to second guess which zealot is mine 😂
This is my havoc bubble trauma build
Others may vary slightly but it's pretty standard
No souldrinker?
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
@radiant ice thoughts on my build? Made to use w BFG
BFG?
The BFG 10 000
Also what difficulty/mode?
Hmm, it's worth noting that Havoc and Auric builds are very different
Kinetic Flayer is pretty underwhelming, imo. And Lightning Speed isn't really worth the detour for just that 10% attack speed. I'd move kinetic Flayer Point to Warp Splitting, that way you can still effectively use the FGS for elite/specialist waves that eat up cleave
Are you using Rending Trauma or Blazing Trauma?
Kinetic Flayer is a beast of a perk
But does drop off with a Trauma staff
Blazing
yeah that's why it's meh in that combination. Better boost the FGS cleave with that point
Try this, it still keeps the flavour/inspiration of your build with a few tweaks
Thanks! This works in havoc or can I have an auric build as well?
Also is warp battery good?
Nice that’s what I use
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
this dude has 3 toughness
For Auric, your standard Curio setup of 2T, 1H or 2T, 1S should be fine
Playstyle depending
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
This is very strange but interesting
Mess around with all 3 layouts and see what works, and make any changes to your playstyle as needed @ornate abyss
1 zealot w aura is enough to counter that mod
It makes a lot of sense, but hm. I don't think I could rip myself off toughness just because of what it is.
Every single enemy in Havoc 35+ deals corruption with a hit
Corruption Resist, although the most swappable perk of the 3, shines on the squishy Psyker up in those levels
In Havoc 35+ the difference to 0 Toughness Curios and 3 Toughness Curios is 20
20 whole Toughness
That's enough for me
The difference in Health is around 160 iirc
Because then funny number reaches 100
Hmm
Toughness is that bad in havoc?
But very good in aurics
It can only reach 80 at best in most havoc ready builds
Yep pretty much
The hidden modifiers in Havoc kill Toughness
But it's incredible in Auric
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
280 health with only 2 wounds has insane advantages
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
I'm not saying it doesn't. I mean with that much hp and that little toughness, you've made the case
That's goo and pox gas barely touching you
They took our Toughness Grace, so we gotta adapt Xd
In Auric though, I am absolutely Toughness stacking XD
Maybe if they make havoc 50 and just remove toughness
I swear I can eat like 5 rounds
I guess I'll swap over to hp anyways out of curiosity
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
So what you're saying is stamina, sprint efficiency and stamina efficiency
Got it
+9 stamina incoming
I mean, unironically yes
That can work if you're a movement god
Or a Zealot
Toughness is just crap in Havoc XD
Only dodge on i-frames 
Iirc my Psyker in Havoc 40 has 285 hp
With 100 toughness though I'm sure I'm not eating corruption bleed through though
That's 15hp off an Ogryn in Standard
At Havoc 40, the most toughness I could stack is 80ish
I assume this is triple 21%
Do you know the % reductions for tightness and hp?
With 3x5%
The toughness reduction is brutal, it affects everything
As a multiplier
The HP one is just a flat number reduction
O that's good to know
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
No wonder hp is so much of a better stack

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
This is from one of the blogs afaik
@quartz barn are the tiers explained? At which havoc level?
Regardless, build HP in havoc XD
Also remember that meat grinder is slightly off due to scuffed rounding
(That was a low tier havoc but still, point stands XD)
And I was running a stam curio iirc
Nah 35 is it's own bracket
Idk when t3 starts cuz im only at clearance 34 
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
Ye its not a great list
I thought all already had it at all time?
Like 10% of dmg dealt is also taken as corruption for example
Ooh wait didnt realize thats seperate
bro dominaya
you say i have bad takes 💀
holy shit
"worst perk in the game"
hahahaha
What Souldrinker?
yes
I can't think of a single worse perk across any class
💀
it can proc from infinite range from any psykers soulblaze, its guaranteed on soulblaze KB but can still proc otherwise
But can't refresh
if you have even two psykers with purg/blaze trauma it starts popping
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
you know it gives toughness back aswell, right?
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
yes with one psyker its crap
Souldrinker is useless and way out the way
but soon as you have two
Woo, a tiny sliver of toughness that's straight worse than every other toughness gain Psyker has
im not arguing to build towards it
but its not even close to as garbage as you're making out
they literally arent depending on your build and # of psykers
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
how many psykers
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
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
With the perk being broken, no
good if you have two soulblaze psykers, great once you have three+
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
i literally made the caveat its only good with 2+ psykers
and multiple psykers in havoc is hardly a meme
2 psykers is pretty normal
3 isn't
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
yeah you're right, theres absolutely no benefit to having two psykers other than souldrinker
based
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
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
Place it better, and kill the gunners
Just cause you have a dome doesn't mean you forget how to position
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.
dont even run one bubble, kill the gunners better
wooo havoc 40
Woo well done!
Time for True Survivor and 50 assists!
The grind is real
im good 
Me trying for a bit to true survivor
Got me a decent rank 39 dark communion imma use this evening to gun for it
I’ve technically done it 4 times now
3 at 40
But already had it from the 36 I hosted xD
I just need to find that solid squad that will listen and fall back
Nah the secret is keep moving forward imo
Not sprinting ahead, but the second you either stop or move back, it’s joever
Cause the director won’t let up
And when we ping "go here" and move into said building i shouldnt turn around and see the squad didnt go there
And im now alone lmao
Keep a steady pace forward is what’s got it for me every time
I definitely have been trying to get folks to move.
What region are you?
Damn
You can move people with barrels, either directly or indirectly
Ill get it eventually
Ah but boss i dont want to go on another Gloriana wild ride
Doesn't matter, you will do it and you will enjoy your way to the mid event 
Hey kids i heard you liked spending 20 minutes fixing power arrays
Welcome to Gloriana
And no the gunner spawns will not stop
With pox gas, goop on the floor and extra tox bombers, that would be my nightmare I think
First event in gloriana is easy when bubble psyk gets a concentration stim
You get to make wall of 4-6 bubbles to the node, camp near the respawn totem afterwards
Moving back works just fine. It's just longer. You plan your escape routes before hand and just hold S if you don't have the fire power to continue.
and bosses are only spawned by progress
Really you can speedrun too as long as everyone is on the same page
End event with 6 monsters and a dh 
They should just make it so in havoc 40, all DHs are already pre-alerted
My working theory is we all 4 grab shield, taunt on block, charge and speed boost on ult. Then grab a map like sycorax. Ignore what we can and yes, kite bosses
Meanwhile one oggy with a shield standing in the corner 
And we end the mission with like a trail of bosses chasing us lmao
Does anyone know if multiple captains can spawn?
If so that'd be funny
But god would it be so fucking funny
Maybe you'll have to have one Ogryn sacrifice themselves every so often to hold the hordes back
Just deploy in a corner
Salute
And say goodbye to them
That would be bad with rng
Glubby will eat that ogryn, causing the others to get swarmed in the airlock because they cant progress
But you wouldn't use the greatsword with this build? DS instead?
Also what would you change in the build to make it more auric-compatible?
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.
I hate the DS
