hm, I will test these builds out, thanks folks

You just enjoy spamming ults. Admit it.

#

-40% peril gen, -30% toughness replenished

#

you get a lot less toughness back (and it's compounding cos you also get a lot less peril and quietitude is tied to peril)

otoh you can murder a lot more people with your staff in between quelling

I see, thanks

edgy garnet
#

pretty sure penetration of the soul is still bugged, which sucks

#

I am not super knowledgable on psyker, only have a couple hundred hours on it

burnt gazelle

kuli's guide says it's still bugged, at least

If it was a guaranteed proc we might have a proper discussion

this is what I run, nothing else I'd pick over it

#

Essence harvest, empathic evasion

#

Or even battery

burnt gazelle
#

should probably do battery for havoc

thorn cedar
#

was it always called empathic evasion
cause ive been calling it emphatic evasion for ... this entire time

#

is my brain broke

burnt gazelle
#

i thiiiiiink it's been called that as long as i've been playing

thorn cedar
#

lmao

#

straight into senility for me

burnt gazelle
#

how is soulblaze in havoc anyway, i haven't bothered to test but i'm sure someone has

thorn cedar
#

... like in general?

burnt gazelle
#

blaze trauma

#

i know that purg is great in havoc

thorn cedar
#

blaze trauma does pretty well

#

unlike purg you can actually ranged left click

burnt gazelle
#

yeah idk if i wanna trust playing warp charges purg

#

except if i am playing with friends

#

i was playing blaze trauma in 20s/25s and it felt okay but i was wondering if i should have switched to flurry rend or smth

# unkempt patio EP smite underrated in here

EP smite is not underrated, it's just that if you are the only psyker, the bubble is more important. If you have 2 psykers then one should go bubble spam and the other EP smite with creeping flames

thorn cedar
#

if you do this i will also leave your game

#

so boring ;_;

unkempt patio
#

EP smite synergizes great with bubble too

near wyvern

So you’re saying most bubble users use a staff for aoe then?

#

oh yeah everyone and their dad has been playing purg

#

but I was asking about trauma specifically

#

since less people are talking about playing trauma in 40s

edgy garnet
#

yes, cause DOTS arent affected by nurgle blessing or whatever its called that increases enemy resist

#

Trauma is viable, got my true survivor with it when my teammate was runnig it

#

Mars was trauma staff

burnt gazelle
#

they also get extra hp but I suppose that's more of an issue for surge shriek builds or smth who can't screenwipe chaff any more

#

whereas i cast trauma one more time with stupid cleave

bold cape
modern lintel
# burnt gazelle since less people are talking about playing trauma in 40s

Nope, just doesn't work... the other staves compared to the purge/infernus are just utterly useless... they just do not have the DPS, they don;t have blessing that apply britttal or give more damage... Teh amount of crit procs with purse is insane... The other staffs just nothing compared to it... Every build, every weapon should be viable at end game...

But the fact there are so few builds, highlights how unbalanced everything really is.

uhhh

#

Lol what?

bold cape
#

trauma goated

sinful peak
#

what is bro waffling about

analog agate
#

VB staff is really good in havoc 40

burnt gazelle
#

he's also been telling us about his issues killing poxwalkers with fully charged surge/void rmbs, so 🤷

modern lintel
# bold cape trauma goated

I haven't done level 40 havok... but trauma is garbage apparently according to ma friend... It just aint good enough.

tulip kettle
#

Yup trauma is great I used it for true survivor

bold cape
#

only staff that id say isnt great for havoc is void

burnt gazelle
#

fs pls, make voidstrike OP again

analog agate
#

Maybe your friend is garbage then… I have done havoc 40 with VB

bold cape
analog agate
#

And it is good

tulip kettle
#

EK is not so great at highest difficulties

#

TTK is just too high for a single target weapon

#

form your own opinions through experience instead of parroting what someone else says

did a 37/38 with 2 psykers both on trauma and it went just fine lmao

you can do 40 with whatever

modern lintel

#

I did true survivor with blaze trauma

bold cape
analog agate
#

Both my true survivor and first 40 were with blaze VB… so yeah

bold cape
#

you got this from a random lmao

analog agate
#

And they took about 30 min.

sinful peak
#

skill issue I'm afraid

modern lintel
analog agate
#

Yeah… I need to give this up. This guy is either trolling, and/or bad and doesn’t understand the game

burnt gazelle
#

do you have that video of your fully charged voidstrike failing to kill a poxwalker yet

stuck sinew
#

Trauma is possibly the best staff for Havoc 40 lmao

bold cape
ripe obsidian
#

Blaze Trauma >= Purgatus for Havoc 40

analog agate
#

Inferno is still better if you have guys who can deal with bulwarks/crushers

tulip kettle
#

Also agreeing with previous sentiment - if 2 psykers, one psyker with smite EP venting is great

modern lintel
analog agate
#

The lack of Nurgle blessed enemies really make VB staff good though

cyan portal
#

Team with purga shriek AND trauma booble is an easy h40 win

analog agate
#

I fear when that modifier makes its way to havoc

tulip kettle
#

Yup and the ability reach out with lmb on trauma that purg can't reach

#

now this is quality entertainment

whenever i get a bunch of low level mongrels applying to my high havoc party finders, i just accept them all, que up an uprising mission, and leave when it starts 😂

ripe obsidian
#

Arguments about the merits of Wildfire or Kinetic Flayer or Warp Battery at least make sense. Saying Trauma is bad is just a goofy take.

bold cape
#

trauma has been king a long time

#

and tbh if anything it shines in havoc

ripe obsidian
#

Trauma and Purgatus both shine in high Havoc because of the enemy density

modern lintel
ripe obsidian
#

Okay, that's fine. You can choose not to use Trauma.

analog agate
#

Doesn’t seem to be a troll based off of his history. Just misinformed with baddish takes. Though he is right that voidstrike is meh

ripe obsidian
#

But it's still goofy to say it's bad because a veteran player thinks it's bad.

bold cape
#

saying something is bad without using it ain’t it

zinc phoenix
ripe obsidian
zinc phoenix
#

because IMO you need ER to play trauma in high havoc

modern lintel
zinc phoenix
#

which makes you a fragile little bitch

ripe obsidian
#

Purgatus with the brittleness blessing also isn't really ideal. That blessing works better on Zealot flamer, I believe.

#

Nexus/Blaze Away is the purgatus meta. More crits = more fire, more strength = burnier fire.

bold cape
#

have heard purg synergizes well with rending trauma

#

gonna try it later most likely

ripe obsidian
#

I run rending trauma when I am the secondary Psyker

#

Is a good time

analog agate
#

Having one of the rending perks on an inferno/VB is fine if you have two psykers

ripe obsidian
#

But I also avoid taking soulblaze stuff when I am the secondary psyker.

analog agate
#

I haven’t gotten use out of rending trauma when by myself. I like nexus more. And flurry/rending really is meh overall

quartz barn
#

its because you cant see rending

#

so automatically feels underwhelming

#

plus its more for the team than yourself which is a double edged sword

ripe obsidian
#

Rending feels nice with the better debuff mod, so I can see the 40% rending stacks I've thrown on enemies

burnt gazelle
#

is that different to debuff indicator

modern lintel

I miss when voidstrike was king.

I'm not super fond of using trauma.

I've been using purg and it's not too bad. It has deceptively long range.

With Trauma? I haven't run into that but I don't use it a lot.

If you want to actively flame two fronts then wildfire is the way to go. If you just flame one spot ranged damage is better

wheat seal
#

was playing this build from the guide, the impression that venting shriek would be much better, often overloaded so quite difficult to use the smite talent @near wyvern

near wyvern
ornate hamlet
#

is there a list of possible missions for havoc?

#

its not the full roto is it

ripe obsidian
#

It is not.

Being anal about team comp leads to such better outcomes

dire orbit
#

Question, so for the force greatsword is there a reason to pick the mk VIII over the mk VI?

tulip kettle
#

yes

dire orbit
tulip kettle
#

move set preferences

dire orbit
#

Oh okay, thank ye

tulip kettle
#

slightly better performance vs chaff hordes

radiant frigate
#

the entire reason is moveset preferences

#

both have good horde clear and good elite damage

tulip kettle
#

agreed

#

though i think 6 is slightly better vs elites and 8 slightly better for horde clear

#

just based on that moveset

radiant frigate
#

basically the question is do you want bonk bonk or bonk shank

#

or boop bonk or boop shank

charred falcon
#

The Mk VIII also secretly still has access to the chad thrust attack - you just have to do the force push first

tulip kettle
#

precisely

#

can still stab for muties

#

and chain overheads for elites

#

just harder to access stabs

buoyant maple
tulip kettle
#

its not better single target tbh mk6 is

#

ahhh ofc kat

buoyant maple
#

it is better single target

tulip kettle
#

what makes you say that

buoyant maple
#

PA stab is higher dmg than mk6's H2 stab

radiant frigate
#

is it now

dire orbit
#

Thank you all, I’ve decided to go with the MKVIII

buoyant maple
#

it's like 200 higher dmg into carapace weakspot

dire orbit
#

Horde clear melee psyker go brrrr

buoyant maple
#

goes to 2.5k ish on crit

prime elk
tulip kettle
#

yup but again

#

move set ddifferences matter

prime elk
#

I thought stabs on mk6 and mk8 did the same damage until path corrected me lol

radiant frigate
#

same discussion as mk 2 vs mk 10 relic blade

#

it be moveset preference

tulip kettle
#

i think over say a 30 sec period in a group of elites the mk 6 is going to do slightly better

#

based on 0 numbers and vibes ofc

buoyant maple
radiant frigate
#

boop shank doing slightly more damage is offset by the fact that boop does no damage

#

i like both though

prime elk
#

Mk8 horde clear is substantially better

tulip kettle
#

yeah i agree with all of that

prime elk
#

And its single target is at worst, a bit behind mk6

maiden oracle
#

The choice between the relic blades is just “do you want a sick ass push attack stab or do you want a sick ass heavy uppercut”

tulip kettle
#

but then the mk6 still horde clears great

#

simply because of special attack

mossy oyster
#

people finding out mk8 PA poke does more than mk6 poke

radiant frigate
mossy oyster
#

only took 10 years

#

crazy

#

wonder who found that first

tulip kettle
#

what i really dislike

#

and im sorry to say it

#

ies the way when you sprint you hold the sword up by your shoulder pointed forward badassly

radiant frigate
#

do the lights on mk 8 do more damage too

tulip kettle
#

but then you attack from sprinting and dont stab

prime elk
#

It’s such a tease

radiant frigate
#

more shank when?

tulip kettle
#

its like

#

run that fucker through

#

H1 attack not chainable accessible only from sprinting

#

FS plz

radiant frigate
#

we do just be taking this position and then not shanking

#

smh

mossy oyster
#

ok but in that position they literally do 2 upwards slash attacks

#

(if its the exact weapon art im thinking of)

#

not really stabbing there either

#

I guess you can argue one of them is an upwards stab but still nothing straight forward

radiant frigate
#

this is greatsword of judgement

mossy oyster
#

aaah

radiant frigate
#

not claymore

mossy oyster
#

theres the difference

#

hard to tell off weapon looks alone (in DS3's case)

young cliff
#

Can I ask how it is the psyker's Greatsword usage on builds? I feel it doesn't make the cut to be main weapon (feels slow for the pay up) and some builds with focus on melee seems to aim on critical hit, favouring faster attacks, is the Greatsword then better used as space protection, reinforced by the wave being weak and not generating charge fast so it's more a stagger tool, ergo making the Mk VIII the better option for the class? Or I'm missing something?

charred falcon
#

GS of Jusgement?

radiant frigate
#

probably missing something

#

force greatsword is 100% main weapon material

#

it's the best we've ever had

#

it's like illisi if it kicked ass vs elites and bosses too

young cliff
#

The best when DS exists? Enlightenment me

radiant frigate
#

ds horde clear is serviceable at best

mossy oyster
#

thats just silly

#

(DS is broken though yes)

young cliff
maiden oracle
#

Ds does have better single target but fgs is great at everything

prime elk
mossy oyster
#

because it is

radiant frigate
#

ds4 as a standalone does not work on psyker

mossy oyster
#

FGS is unironically one of the "best" weapons soyker has ever had lmfao

radiant frigate
#

it does on zealot because lmao 70% crit

#

How one build upon it? I'm just starting my ways in warp madness

#

#

Including the disrupt destiny key perk?

prime elk
burnt gazelle
#

I have something like this but i haven't played it that much

mossy oyster
#

crit and weakspot dmg all that

young cliff
#

So we are speaking Mk VI right? Think it's attacks are much beefier

mossy oyster
#

no

#

I use mk8

maiden oracle
#

Mk8

mossy oyster
#

both are good

burnt gazelle
#

it's moveset preference

mossy oyster
#

both abuse the same things with scriers/DD/finesse

maiden oracle
#

Should I loop heavy attacks or push attacks on bosses

mossy oyster
#

I push attack chunk with mk8

maiden oracle
#

Got it

mossy oyster
#

shits on BoNs the most you'll see

#

mmm yummy 40% poke

young cliff
#

I feel the heavies of Mk 6 are better but the normal attacks of 8 feel more capable to horde clear

mossy oyster
#

mk6 heaies only feel better because you get to the brain dead loop faster

#

Mk8 you have to do a few attacks to get there first

#

before you can loop strikedowns

prime elk
#

Me push attacking the ground when I hear a mutie around the corner KEKW_ogryn

young cliff
#

Brainde...there is a loop? (Struggles in ogryn brain)

mossy oyster
#

but i prefer poke being behind a shove (that can literally stagger everything thats not a monstrosity)

clear heath
#

special -> poke on the mk6 is so nice though

mossy oyster
#

the defense/counterattack capability of shove -> poke is good

prime elk
prime elk
#

But mk8 does get special > overhead at least

clear heath
#

special staggers so well

strange jewel
#

What to choose for last point, Kinetic flayer or warp battery?

upper sun
#

the voices were wrong

analog agate
#

For what build?

strange jewel
#

Using this

late sapphire
#

I swapped off of kinetic flayer because it means i cant push a burster with the purg m1

#

(i killed myself shamefully in high havoc)

marble crater
#

I mean, you definitely can

analog agate
#

I do KF on both my builds and battery on my regular build

strange jewel
upper sun
#

it can even happen with sword push

late sapphire
upper sun
#

sword PA that is

queen fog
#

Casually attempt to force push a burster

late sapphire
#

this implies lasgun special is the only ok shove

queen fog
#

Blows up due to kf KEKW_ogryn

strange jewel
#

Flayer or warp charge

late sapphire
strange jewel
#

It didnt save? pain

young cliff
#

That doesn't show any build

#

Ok the combo of special into stab from Mk6 looks dope

clear heath
#

animal abuse

young cliff
#

So what properties the warp knives have? Should I avoid using it against an specific enemy type?

#

I don't think I have used it yet

marble crater
#

Warp knives? Assail? It's pretty bad against carapace

#

And Bulwarks because shield

young cliff
#

So anything that isn't armoured gets crystal therapy, and the others get the can opener (small or big)

marble crater
#

Middle keystone and assail is very fun if you run into a gunner or shotgunner group, you can basically kill them all in a few seconds KEKW_ogryn

radiant frigate
young cliff
#

How the assail track?

radiant frigate
#

it goes where you look

young cliff
#

Can I toss it to curve cover?

#

Im usually just tossing them wildly, idk if it's tracking something or straight up missing

tulip kettle
#

you can toss it up and then look at something and it will go to the thing you look at

#

so like throw it over a bulwark then look at the bulwark and it will hit it and make it drop shield

radiant frigate
burnt gazelle
#

yeah it got fixed

#

or, well, nerfed

tulip kettle
#

fair

#

not an assail enjoyer tbh

#

can it still not even with multiple?

young cliff
#

So assail doesn't stagger, just raw damage?

marble crater
#

@upper sun staregryn

burnt gazelle
#

it does stagger

prime elk
burnt gazelle
#

it staggers ragers, for example

#

it doesn't stagger bulwarks now (at least with one knife) because they have more stagger resist than they used to

prime elk
#

If you’re using fgs you can open shields by just pushing anyway

young cliff
#

But what about a flurry of them? Those crystals seems to regen faster than what you can toss them

#

Really?

modern lintel
#

How does the surge staff work? Been told that it hits centre of mass, and doesn't hit weak spots, but can crit though?

marble crater

for the charged attacks

young cliff
burnt gazelle
young cliff
#

So what is the strength of each Mk? It's just movement taste?

prime elk
#

Mk8 is better KEKW_ogryn

tulip kettle
burnt gazelle
#

that's using RMB throw, maybe it's possible with lmbs but I can't get it to curve properly enough to be reliable

young cliff
prime elk
tulip kettle
#

i think just spam 2 straight up fast then rmb onto him

prime elk
#

But not necessarily better

tulip kettle
#

but anyway idrc assail is cheeks i just use it to clear extra trash and keep peril up if i use it

burnt gazelle
#

yeah, still no dice

#

does assail flinch maulers/crushers

upper sun
#

thats almost DB levels of lateness

🙄 running the game rn

young cliff
#

What about the maniacs with two weapons that charge you, but the ones that are caned, I assume you need to use the FGS for them because assail would be ineffective

burnt gazelle
#

nah assail is great vs them

maiden oracle
#

assail works perfectly fine

prime elk
#

But you can use fgs against them as well

modern lintel
# tulip kettle lmb can hit anywhere of course and also crit

That is really really annoying... I really want to make the staff work for me... x6 warp charges, 93% peril, warp rider... It it still struggles to kill specials and elites... Chargers are tanky as F, but stuff like ragers etc and it struggles... Is it worth putting surge on so x2 hits on crit? instead of Warp flury?

burnt gazelle
#

you can just throw assail, do a combo

if its a horde of them i like to throw out a couple assails before using a fgs special and cleaning up the rest

i would use EK staff with lmb but i mostly shoot lmb and only use rmb for bulwark/crusher, sometimes mauler if teammate is facing a train of overheads or smth

fewer baddies, more tactics

love that the difficulty isnt "here are 20 muties at the same time every two minutes"

burnt gazelle
#

my group's not playing much currently but it should be fun since we have like a 95% winrate in maelstrom so new difficulty is on the money.

just wish they had more mixed mutators than just hyperlethal shooters

i will say high havoc is a sometimes experience tho

#

you have to be on point and cant take meme builds

#

but mid 20s? thats good shit

when its high havoc time i pour some whisky, break out the trauma stick and get srs bznz

modern lintel

low havoc is moron central

#

it do be bad idk why

#

and unlike heresy or whatever its hard to solo carry the dummies

mid havoc is moron central 2

zinc phoenix

burnt gazelle
# young cliff The heavy laspistol right?

yeah, I use the mk2 with something like flak+crit/unyielding perks.

dumdum as first blessing, you can run crit blessing/reassuringly accurate/infernus as the second blessing, ghost maybe if you didn't take EE for some reason

you do need to click fast, or use the full auto mod if you value health > gameplay

zinc phoenix
#

but at like 20-21... 😬 i need the team to do somethings

modern lintel
# zinc phoenix it do be bad idk why

People over estimate their skills... I am trying to get ma build right, it's not feeling right so I wont try it.... Don;t like letting people down

prime elk

I run recon las personally but laspistol works well too

zinc phoenix
burnt gazelle

#

i have seen some absolutely disgustingly good players mechanically with an excellent build who can survive solo for a long time but who are totally useless in high havoc because they dont understand how to team play or play a particular role

modern lintel
zinc phoenix
#

like i had a psyker yesterday who was absolutely better than me mechanically and could outplay the team with a combat shotgun build

analog agate
zinc phoenix
#

but also didnt teamplay, didnt solve the problems team actually had

#

so we lost every match even tho mechanically he was next level

zinc phoenix
ripe obsidian
#

For me, FGS/Bistol/Assail/Bubble/DD has had the best results

analog agate
#

Bad people in mid havocs don’t use the bubble anyways. They roam about getting shot in the back. And like lemmings, die one after another trying to save people.

zinc phoenix
#

today i had a team where everyone was solidly average skill wise but they played their roles and they stuck together so we won 39 and 40

modern lintel
#

I went +5% crit chance, 25 carapace, surge and nexus? Is this a good combo?

zinc phoenix
#

i mean... solidly average for someone who can make it to high havoc. there's a skill floor for reaching that

burnt gazelle
#

on surge?

modern lintel
#

on surge

burnt gazelle
#

on electrokinetic, i mean

#

i'd probably go +flak

young cliff

Straying away from the team is N°1 reason for rejects casualties

burnt gazelle
#

I'd probably go +crit over +carapace if you're playing EK

zinc phoenix
#

you can tell an experienced player by how much they fear ledges 😂

burnt gazelle
#

i've thrown a few havocs because i do things that are perfectly fine in aurics but are suicidal in havoc, not used to bad bubble decision making deciding whether we die.

in aurics i normally play it if my team are all really low level so i can use it to guarantee a save, and i mostly use it for that or to deny a flamer/trapper

modern lintel
prime elk

#

or killing slugs etc

prime elk
#

Both good options

zinc phoenix
young cliff
burnt gazelle
#

you run faster with it out

modern lintel
prime elk
#

But it’s def faster

#

I also take all the movement speed nodes

zinc phoenix
#

We lost a round because I went elevator while rest of team didn’t. Since I was the primary cc with trauma and couldn’t see them they got overrun 🤦‍♀️ next round I was smarter 😂

prime elk
#

Just too good on psyker

young cliff
# prime elk Both iirc

Ok, have to get one for my build then, I usually feel fairly slow and team leave me behind, ty

prime elk
#

You can get up to 60 percent bonus speed

But minor positioning errors in 35+ = wipe and I love that, it’s so intense

burnt gazelle
# zinc phoenix In fairness the margin is very slim for mistakes

yeah it's been really fun

i was moderately carrying a team on metalfab 20 the other day, knew shooters were going to be behind us, and team was mostly 1wound. tried to drop my bubble while door was opening but forgot ability doesn't go through/had a cast delay if you're doing certain animations. didn't dodge because I thought dome would be instantly up, died from full toughness/hp and whole team executed by shooters from behind 😔

died a couple of times doing what would be really boring psyker clutches in auric, just executed by shooters cos i wasn't clean enough on slidesprints while breaking los

I thought you took sg and bubble (obviously you can’t do that) and was astonished

I'd recommend taking vent or scriers over shield with EK

Ya he is doing a lmb build

#

I guess

split lance

Oh

modern lintel

🤮

Or lmb ?

analog agate

Pretty sure he is using surge

modern lintel
modern lintel
split lance
# modern lintel rmb

Yeah. Dont run bubble or SG. EK shines best and brightest with shriek. Like it’s not even close

analog agate
#

Fyi, surge is for lmb build

burnt gazelle
#

^

modern lintel
analog agate
#

So if you do rmb you were right with flurry and nexus

modern lintel
#

just out of curiosity

burnt gazelle
#

the surge blessing

#

is for lmb builds

#

this is something like an RMB EK build

split lance
#

God I hate the staff name changes

analog agate
#

It is because surge only works for your lmb shot, unfortunately. Not charged

#

Which is too bad

split lance
analog agate
#

Cause EK would really fuck then

burnt gazelle
#

for RMB?

analog agate
#

You can either go the BB route for KF on EK or do what Agent does and pick smite

split lance
#

Agent doesn’t pick smite?

analog agate
#

Ya he does

split lance
#

He’s a KF guy

zinc phoenix
analog agate
#

With EK?

split lance
analog agate
#

Gotcha

split lance
zinc phoenix
#

I’d personally drop 6 warp charge for kf

split lance
#

Yeah

zinc phoenix
#

It occasionally bopping a dog in flight is pretty dope

split lance
#

Tbh 6 isn’t even all that good tbh

#

Barely noticeable difference

zinc phoenix
burnt gazelle
#

oh oops, I had that on because I was originally making an lmb build before he said he plays rmb and forgot to remove it

split lance
zinc phoenix
#

Anyway agent isn’t great because of the build, he’s great because he matches keen tactical sense with excellent mechanical skills

#

Man knows where to stand when and clicks fast

burnt gazelle
#

does kf have a chance to proc each damage instance of the rmb?

split lance
#

I have impeccable mechanical skills. I have 0 game sense

burnt gazelle
#

ohhh

split lance
#

So you’ll get like 2 gunners for the price of one

zinc phoenix
burnt gazelle
#

yeah that makes it worth it i think

split lance
#

And stuff like that

zinc phoenix
#

I’d rate myself pretty mid mechanically but pretty good on game sense

split lance
#

My in game aim is so much better than my kovaaks scores

#

It’s almost painful

burnt gazelle
#

i'#m so glad that fs had spent months training auric players to no brain kill chase and now has added the teamplay mode

split lance
#

Which. Not gonna do

modern lintel
#

Gone with shriek

zinc phoenix
burnt gazelle
#

ideally, ingame aim is mostly game sense with a minimal of actually exercising the things you do in kovaaks

zinc phoenix
#

Every time I die I do a quick recap of what the root action was that got me killed and why I took it

split lance

you can run in fire reborn on purgatus and on blaze trauma, everyone else takes psychic vampire.

lmb EK doesn't really need either in the games i've played because it can just monopolise elite kills really easily

It’s harder to not crit

I prob wouldn't take inner tranquility on a purg build, it already doesn't build up peril very fast

#

and building up peril on demand is a nice resource on psyker since you want 85%+ shriek

zinc phoenix
#

If it’s high havoc I’d take ER, if it isn’t I’d skip

split lance
#

Yeah same

zinc phoenix
#

The toughness penalty requires a LOT of effort to play around

split lance

I always take ER. Other node sucks and ER allows you to skip tranq if you want

Just enough to stagger

yeah it takes some effort

i tried playing it in high ping a few times recently and got destroyed

The biggest issue with it imo is that infinite cleave is just massively more useful in high havoc that

A build without effort is a True Survivor on my account.

technically the fgs special has infinite cleave

That’s fair

This is for purge staff with BR build I have been trying works great in auric
