if youre hitching the theory on being server miscommunication anyway
souldrinker always seemed to work in psyk
Yes
I don't understand how the netcode can be this bad 😭
Only for the server tick thing
at least I assume the netcode is the culprit again
well it makes more sense for them to work as they do on the server
Not for whether non SB KBs from other players proc the talent
Yeah but it doesn't make a difference if it can proc off non SB KBs...
You want a double proc? 
but that's exactly how Souldrinker works in the psykh
Right ic, just wokie up brain
Is the 100% cleave good for ball spam
mandatory now
no
You'll only cleave at near the max peril. You'd be lucky to get multiple shots off.
and even then, only for like... walkers
If only there was a way I could cast for sustained periods at near maximum peril
I don't lmb spam
wait
do you mean voidstrike rmb or lmb
He means rmb
this is why I disliked people referring to lmb as balls 😭
No, electro light spam
Voidstrike is the only real baller
Laaaaaaame
Thats not ballspam and no
Cleave is almost meaningless to lmb

Ball spam wasn't a term before lmb builds tho
Hitting that 30 stack scriers full DD warp unbound surge crit
Voidstrike is the goat (surge is better generally speaking but I cope hard for strike)
Voidstrike is the most fun staff
If only strike cleaved carapace
Does EE make you immune to gunners and reapers?
I've always called voistrike ballspam staff
Then it would be goat even in Havoc 
Yes
I call it bowling
who needs shield when you have EE
I gave it a try but my balls cant cleave steel they just hurt instead
Someone who isn't using a macro like a boring weenie
Jesus that's a crazy macro
Is "lighting storm" any good?
What does that look like with assail spam?
It's noticeable if you're a long time smiter
Meaty balls can’t cut steel beams
Checkmate atheists
If you're actually smiting for damage it's meaningful
meh
Thats ridiculous lol
Meh? That's strong af
Imma need your macro timings for research purposes
My shits weak
Your shit stronk
idk which is better
Please? I can tune it too I'm just lazy af
what program are u using
I'm using synapse
But i got voice attack and a couple other softwares that also do it

What start class and everything about is this nice!
What am I supposed to do with this
what ya got there?
@haughty star 
Is this what e-sex feels like
?????

I'm just testing shit
https://youtu.be/P-6Cwla6ueI?si=0JljR4GkD8_xIgA_
I got bored of burning heretics
I am I was just wondering why it had a link lol

Why does it ?
The weirdest shit i got into so far is modding titty jiggle physics and a stacked female v into cyberpunk
oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch
Yeah I run scriers with voidstrike
deserved
Death
i am finally done with vet penances
i cant wait for the next enhcaned blitz game so i can cheese this
tragic
Deserved.
oh my god i just found the most low iq way to play ogryn
For inferno staff what should I use as a dump stat? Was thinking burn or warp resist but idk.
bind sprint onto w
so sprint and forward are the same button
its automatic sprint cancelling 
Never dump burn, that affects your stack gain. Dump warp res on all staves except voidstrike, where you dump blast radius.
OK thanks
Step 1, be Clad.
Also. Is there any way to get wildfire with assail or do I have to go through brain rap or smite?
#ogryn-class message
look at this LOOK
"Look at this Clad post!"
No, I don't think I will.
If this is serious this would be the first ban I have seen for a macro. Everything else has been hearsay from chinese stuff
It would also upend the narrative that “FS won’t ban for complex macros”
I am assuming you are joking though
What are the must have talents for gunker?
Nah it was just a server crash lol
All of them
All of the talents

(there's no 'must haves')
Metawise tho, you just go assail/scrier's/DD
Wifi at this place sucks I can't play. Next time it'll be back europe.
EU bros can carry me again 
I’ve been too busy being holly and jolly
And exceedingly drunk 😂
My family can’t get through an afternoon together without a cart of booze 😂
man what are these insane requirements for havoc i'm seeing
i got the meta psyker build and over lvl 50 on my psyker and i'm being denied entry for pretty much all parties
what do these bluds want more 💀
dueling sword trauma/inferno
let me send a sc of my talent tree
also also, Havoc hosts get like dozens and dozens of join requests
Seems solid.
so you may just be drowned in the swamp of requests
Maybe you should try hosting your own game. 
i mean i'm getting the "denied" message
so idk
I really love how Havoc hosts get all of the risks and none of the benefits
Has anyone confirmed whether that is automatic or not?
oh i can't even send screenshots lmao
don't think it is
it comes at different time intervals
like sometimes i get denied almost instantly and sometimes it takes a minute
well that could be it denying you automatically once the party is full
which would have varying times
i guess, no way to confirm
I don't think you get denied when the party is full. The party just vanishes from the list
btw i know it's not exactly high level but still you don't need the 2k hour emperor of mankind to do this game well
true, but it's also true that people are gonna suck more at lower levels
Are you trying to join havoc close to what you cleared already?
It's not causation but it is correlation
so the best i could join was 20 or 25 i don't remember, and i completed that, but when i try 40, or even stuff like 29-30, i get denied
can't complete higher difficulties if i'm being cockblocked havoc lol
Well yeah you get denied 40 when you only cleared 25 
I am a 1550, cleared havoc 40 multiple times/true survivor and flaunt it. I am still denied often. People are just weird
The host doesn't want to lose their 3 attempts
What do you peeps think of this EK staff setup? 🙂
No, it's just the host has all the risk and picks the best people he can pick based on havoc level, borders, titles and maybe true level mod
don't you just get downgraded back to 39?
That's a standard EK staff build that will serve you very well 
Thanks 😁
Think I need to get a bit better with Illisi for those oh shit situations
When surrounded by mobs
And then they have to win their way to 40 again
They might also try to get 40 for their friend or whatever. I also don't pick people that are too low when I host and look for randoms
so they lose at best 30-40 minutes when they lose their havoc 40 mission 3 times
Or they lose almost 2 hours if that is already their 3rd attempt and they fail at the end event
and i suppose they lose nothing else?
I would dump EE for wildfire but that's a minor thing, looks good
Their rank which they have to earn again to do it all over again after that
their weekly rank you mean? not their permanent "this is what i have completed" rank
They want to do 40 and there is a 25 and a 38 applying, they know nothing about either of those people, of course they pick the guy who already cleared the level that is very similar to what they want to do
yeah that makes sense
still weird that so many players are apparently higher level than me, applying for the same mission, and in my region at the same time, so that i literally always get denied
There is no permanent rank
There's your rank and the rank of your mission
both decay
No, would be funny though 
I guess. Really only applies if you have done a 40 though
Tempting but EE comes in so handy 😅
Just don't get hit 
If only I was that good
Best way if you get denied all the time is hosting yourself, or ask in discord I guess, probably a better chance than in game, but still not certain when people don't know much about you 
I mean, sliding avoids ranged fire
Just spam dodge and kill things
If you're good at sliding, EE is mostly just a node for comfort
Don't even need to slide, dodge and stun the things that attack you with your staff, or suppress them
I swear Havoc 25 is harder than 40 because of this. I just want to grind out the assists but every mid level strike team somehow wipes in the second area and I have to try and clutch 
I have actually started doing my non havoc builds in 20s to carry crappers
Meaning VS instead of bubble
25 is just low enough where people don't spam bubbles and chorus yet, but high enough where they should if they are not great players 
Zealots refusing to use cleans aura with goop on the floor etc.
Voidstrike instead of bubble? 
It's hard to carry people when they're just eating mauler overheads and dying instantly

Eeeehhhhh, running out of dodges is a thing and sometimes they're too far
and maybe too many of them spread out
Yeah. By carrying I mean not keeping them up. But being able to kill everything myself. Bubble doesn’t help for that
Just kill them quicker 
Sure but I was just pointing out that Voidstrike is not an ability 
You are not an ability
True
I am not sadly
Zealots trying to speed run how fast they can run around a corner and die before you even get the chance:

That is a demand, not a suggestion
Sliding is a pain on controller 💀 Need to figure out a way to make it feel less clunky
Get a mouse and keyboard
Ohhhh controller. Ew
Or slide spamming is anyway

One day
Might try the wildfire then, should I also swap out psychic vampire for fire reborn?
Where is your dodge button? 
B button lol
Or A
Yes, I am definitely god tier and not one of the worst players in Havoc 40 shoring up my weakness with meta munchkinnery.
I forget
On EK? No
That's not good. I suggest the layout where dodge is on LB and not having dodge and jump be the same button
On Inferno? Yes
Cool ty
On Trauma? Eh
Psychic is more consistent so either/or. If it's fire trauma, obviously.
That does sound good, is that a premade layout?
Yes
Pinging might be bad, but that should be balanced out by you being able to dodge a lot better
Pinging is overrated 
Yeah that seems like a good tradeoff
Lowering aim assist is also something I did, aim assist is actually harmful in this game, not even funny

One sec, rebinding ping to lmb
Aim assist is good when there is a single enemy you want to track and shoot at, it's awful when there are dozens of enemies and you want to aim at the elite instead of all the shit poxwalkers that drag your aim to them instead
blocked
Also people like that are why I muted my ping sound
That makes sense, ty 🙂
Ping on attack is just so bad, you don't really need to ping whatever you are killing at this very moment
I do because I'm blind
Fair, but then once is enough 
true
I ping snipers so I can brain burst them easier
Yes
brain burst is the best ping 
anything in the process of being brain bursted just immediately draws fire from the whole team
lmaoo every time
I mean, I kinda want allies to target things I'm BBing
I use that maybe once every 50 missions 
Really? It has some use as like an opening move to an encounter
I'll normally RMB BB every now and then on Inferno
To be fair I don't really use BB a lot anyway, I think. Not sure what the average 
I mean, I only ever pull out BB to stick with the group in Havoc.
If I wasn't bothering to stick with the group, I'd just slide up and roast them
BB in havoc is just so, so sad. Can't even kill specials with one BB anymore. Why bother using it
I run out of dodges all the damn time because of shooters forcing me to dodge slide
for the blaze force greatsword what would be a good dump stat?
and also sprint slide
is there a consensus on the best force gs builds yet 🤔
wrath because it desperately wants cleave, and unstable power because hey free damage (and cleave)
shred works too
at least that's the consensus of me, myself and I
(and also what the pinned psyker guide says)
wrath unstable power and warp splitting would make it into a weed whacker 😮
Warp res
why warp res and not def?
Use warp splitting to force cleave with scrier and get riposte to proc mettle and either unstable or precognition depending on playstyle
(This is for mk8 and unstable warp rider are very strong with scrier)
2 tap crushers with heavy overhead or a push stab
is it becuase psykers have ways to manage warp?
Because it's the least important stat on that sword, you need defense because the dodges are shit and you need to make them less shit 
yeah mk8 push stab is super good, i can just bully gangs of crushers with it
@marble crater well alight i thank you for your knowledge
its because you WANT peril
yea def dump fgs is just pain for the sake of pain
peril is damage and toughness damage res
unstable power and wrath or shred, hm
more cleave or more crit
🤔
wrath and riposte 
cleave and crit
Does anyone have a good build that uses the FGS and Telekine Shield? I'd like to use the FGS in Havoc.
crit and crit. riposte and shred 
i tried that and i also tried wrath and unstable power
the mega mega cleave was pretty fun too
maybe theres more than one way to make a force gs that slaps 😛
you can try something like this
but make sure you take wrath on your fgs
you could get away without wrath by peril edging / warp splitting
but yeah wrath is nice to have
and basically mandatory for havoc
yeah i used warp splitting wrath AND unstable power together and it was pretty sweet
like a lawnmower
esp with gaze
What staff should I use with this?
for havoc, it's going to be either trauma, purg, or recon las mk vi with infernus
I don't have the Mk6 recon staff
i recommend obtaining one asap
Inferno or Trauma
Those who say recon are dumb and wrong 
(totally unbiased opinion)
Although you can also use EK with FGS in Havoc, but then you really need to know your stuff when it comes to FGS
bistol
average staffker main take 
Yes

Although taking recon in Havoc seriously hurts your team. Even if you don't ever pick up ammo (which I doubt) you'll still be removing the sheer clear that Trauma and Inferno have.
Trauma also just lets your buddies stay safe with its stagger
Trauma good for havoc?
Very.
I would of thought I’d be stealing toughness from the melee characters
For one, toughness isn't hugely a thing on Havoc
for two, most melee don't get much toughness from crushers 
My struggle in havoc is supporting people. I’ve been using inferno, but it’s hard to navigate the environment to deal with gunners, compared to void strike
well don't
That's not really your job
You're inferno, plop a bubble down and deal with the horde while your buddies handle gunners
What’s my job persay? Mostly I’ve been a bubble bitch trying to farm warp charges to keep it up
Havoc 24 btw
Your job is to clear.
As Inferno, you should be spamming RMB to max stacks on enemies and do as much damage as possible to as many enemies as possible
Bubble is there to keep your team alive, but doesn't hugely play into it
Bring it up when you can, but make sure you have cover anyway
I’ve been positioning myself usually with my back to a wall to avoid spawns. Monstrosities I struggle in groups with especially double spawn.
Beginning to think I should just play zealot
That's normal.
Maybe with trauma I’ll have more cc to control the flow of the run
Max stacks on the boss, clear other enemies, and hit the boss with your sword. Priorities in that order.
Inferno is better against bosses, but really what you have to do is isolate the boss from everything else. That largely means the Psyker gets to be the separator because their boss damage sucks.
What do you mean by this?
I haven't done much trauma, but Is the blast better cc than primary purg spam?
EK is viable on Havoc, but it requires more skill and more reliance on FGS in comparison to trauma or inferno
Absolutely
The blast topples everything that isn't a boss
i felt less useless using inferno with knife as primary so I can reposition super quickly but ymmv, I'm still learning
kind of cracked how quickly you can move around abusing the heavy attack
Right but I guess my thought was more, cone vs circle, larger area to cc = more (potential) enemies. I guess everything pretty much has to be bottlenecked at higher havocs, though, eh?
Psyker master
Bestow upon me some more emperor blessed tips for pushing Havoc as a psyker
Also do you have a build template for trauma for havoc?
Yes, a key part of havoc is retreating
I personally do this for VB build
I would run something like this
You don’t get toughness reduction on peril level?
Not worth it in high havoc
maybe replace mettle with warp expenditure because mettle doesn't work with rmb on Trauma right now 
Your toughness goes in 1/4 a volley haha
Yeah, toughness is hit super hard in Havoc
You want to not get hit
which is why bubble is the meta
Does Soulblaze do much damage to get it?
Yes
Whilst not using inferno/Shriek
Yes, expecially if you're Fire Trauma
although Rending Trauma is actually pretty good in Havoc
I would recommend Rending Trauma if there's a second psyker using Inferno on the team over Fire Trauma
and with rending trauma, you could make an argument to dump PC and Wildfire
Imo flurry/rending is just completely meh. If you want to do rending still do blaze as your other blessing
And just not be like Dead. Embrace quell cancel
It's not tho
I mean it is if you consider only yourself
but don't
Havoc is a team sport
Quelling to cancel animations to attack faster.
🤷♂️ I have done both. Just not impressed
Ah okay
I don't do any cancelling tho 
Also the issue with Blazing Spirit and why we're avoiding it in the first place is because it steals the first soulblaze stack away from the Inferno player
All you do is tap R after your explosion and it animation cancels so you can cast quicker
which means their Blaze Away does not blaze away 😔
(because whoever gets the first stack of a DoT """owns""" all the damage/stacks)
so Flurry is beneficial specifically because it's not Blazing Spirit 
Any other tips?
I’ll be giving trauma staff ago as psyker, and I’ll focus on kiting the boss rather than trying to out kill it if two spawn.
And clearing
If there's like one crusher, knock it over and stab it in the head. If there's a lot, just spam the explosion
The explosion only knocks over ogryns caught in the circle radius, and ogryns get stagger resistance after being knocked over, so you do have to be prepared to back up
There's something Truly magical about getting the "True Survivor" Title in an Rank 40 run. 
Your first role is to clear all ads during boss fights. And then melee them with ds iv or fgs. Never use VB on them
You can use VB, it's just crap damage 
You “can” use it. May you? No
Do you use a website to generate that image, or do you just screenshot the game?
So you just screenshot the part of the page where the talent tree is?
si
Alright, how does this look for Havoc with an FGS and EK staff?
super sus
EK staff works better with warp charges. You will need to decide if you want to do a fgs build or EK build
You're missing warp rider, which is big and practically mandatory on all Psyker builds
If you want to stick with Destiny that is
And you can use EK and FGS together, but you're going to have to make one suffer
EK with Illisi is nice but I do wish I could do both also
EK in havoc doesn't mind as much about losing warp charges if you're running bubble, but also your bubble is largely a backup and you'll probably want an additional bubble psyker
Then again… I don’t know if I would use EK without shriek. So I am not the best person for my opinion
I got it on my first 35 on accident lol
Would've been funny if they gatekept it at 40
FGS
Fgs he’s a melee psyker
I would likely main the FGS.
who?
I thought we were taking about Ego’s build
oh I thought they were asking about Json 
I should stop interjecting myself mid convo lol
Oh whoops
I should really try and get better the FGS, it's fun
I guess this would be good if I were to main EK?
I was haha
I'd be interested to see Json's build
Do they use MK6 or 8?
it wasnt really intentional its just the Randoms i was playing with had brains.
We love randoms with brains
And then this if I main FGS?
am I colorblind, or is this really hard to tell what you have
you can just use Gameslantern for ease of use
Why Wildfire?
6
Is this comment directed at me? I am using Games Lantern.
your games lantern looks really different for some reason
Vb?
Oh, it's probably because I have Dark Reader installed. Let me disable it.
Void blast
VB is goated honestly
Here's the FGS maining build again:
Which one is that trauma?
voidblast
The void balls?
Trauma staff got renamed to Voidblast
Kay
I have Wildfire on because I heard it's good with EK and PC, but since I'm not maining EK in that build, I guess I can take it off.
And what stats on the fgs is dump? Warp resistance?
I imagine mobility would be good to have all things considered
Yeah wildfire in general seems a bit bad, there's only like one C tier build that makes use of it
Yeah love my edge sesh
They run unstable power and.... shred? Idk, I think I'm slightly off
Anyone know what capstone Json takes?
DD
FGS really likes DD
What could I slot in if I were to take WIldfire off?
Ah perfect timing, ty!
@clear heath can confirm?
The 10% toughness above the shield would be solid
Next to the crit for ranged dodge
I don't bother remembering the names
one with the warp
^
But if ranged enemies strip toughness off in Havoc so quickly, wouldn't that not help anyway?
Really depends on which havoc level you are playing
No, because gold toughness
The meta is TDR because gold toughness gives a flat amount
For havoc atleast
Psyker VB/inferno meta does not have one with the warp
But we are talking about EK so idk about that
Here
Never rely on someone else’s build for your own either
Do FGS attacks count as warp attacks for malefic momentum?
Ah cool, ty 👍
That's true in general for force swords: only their empowered attacks are warp
actually
does their push attack count

I mean in the sense of you taking the talent because of another classes build. That also won’t guarantee you get the yellow toughness either
Gonna try the build you posted, I like the idea of FGS with bubble
ah, I see
Sciers is very fun but does feel exposed
;-;
Bubble becomes a really bad crutch for newer players
Fiiiiine
movement speed and sliding helps a lot with this
psyker gets a crap ton of movement speed talents
movement speed not so much
(take all of them
)
nah
yah
typical staffker L take
Yeah
Bruh
Sliding is goated sorry
sliding is goated yes
People told me mettle was great and had good uptime
Then I found it literally fails to stack consistently even when just spamming heavies 
and that's with a crit blessing
I would take the left build but also drop the middle +15 toughness node for crack of bone
this is what i run
Awesome ty 😁
This is my FGS bubble build
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9dd471a1-79a3-4df0-b6b8-3629775207d6/psyker-swordfighter
You basically just stack debuffs for kills and throw bubbles when you can. I personally like the extra mobility when quelling with FGS since it makes dodging feel smoother, and since lots of other Psykers bring the CD Aura I go for more crits and tdr. Double bubble ftw
I might have got it from you lmao
I approve
I just wish Psykers could take Psykinetic's Aura with Assail.
I will always bring smite for utility tho
i don't think i gave you a fgs build, but i'm glad someone else had a similar idea
You and a lot of people
on the one hand, that would be cool, on the other hand, assail is good enough already
The magic missiles had their time
And they're still broken if you know how to build them right
But most people don't so
I remember the days when Malice was considered the Darktide middleground, and not Damnation
And Heresy was harder than Damnation
Not me.
uuuuuhhh they're very blatantly meta for Gunker
that too
I still use smite on gunker
All I'm saying is Palpatine had the right idea
We were just missing the laser sword before
Plus I still think most people use smite wrong
as much as palp builds is funny, taking smite with gunker isn't optimal
I know that, but Telekine does, and I wouldn't drop that in Havoc unless someone else is already running it.
esp for your team
It's just a massive AOE force push/pull/chain stagger, which can be very valuable at times.
Esp with gunners in Havoc being such a threat, being able to fast smite and throw them for a quick mop up is nice.
assail's invaluable because it helps with ammo economy
You literally just have to pick DD
gunker can get very ammo hungry
It's not exactly a mind blowing build
I guess that's fair, I just run Reconlas and mostly use the GS. I use recon for specials when needed/getting the crits/speed to close the gap so I can switch to melee.
The 80 mobility juiced recon slides with all the movespeed buffs is like playing Titanfall 2 again
oh if you're using melee a lot then it's nbd
and yeah i love using recon to proc crit talents
For me smite is just too useful to really forego
it's very nice
Like if 2/4 are down and 1 teammate needs a lockdown to rez I got him
Or if there are gunners I can pull them out of cover to chop em up
Out of interest, how does melee psyker compare to melee zealot? People seem to slap with those relic swords
I'd drop EE and charged strike for warprider. EE isn't good with FGS or voidblast
Then I just like Charged Strike cuz that 10% dmg taken debuff adds up with 4 people wailing on something like a boss
Meleeker sucks compared to Zealot but at the same time FGS is significantly stronger than relic blade
almost as if Fatshark is aware meleeker sucks and chose to ignore it 
Bad zealots, sure
I see 🤔 How would you compare a relic blade build vs a FGS build then?
It really depends on the player, I can outkill on a good Scriers GS, but Relic Blade is just rock solid in general as well
pretty hard to do a controlled enviroment 1:1 test for this sort of thing
A really good Zealot easily trounces a Meleeker with FGS until the Meleeker stops being a meleeker and pulls out the gun/assail/staff
because, surprise, meleeker is assailker is gunker
i think it really just comes down to the skill of the of the zealot vs the skill of the bonker
Sadge
yeah relic blade is also a quite good, do-everything weapon
much harder to play though
If I wanted to start playing Psyker where should I start?
well yes, but I think at their peak, Zealot wins against a Psyker trying to be a meleeker
It doesn’t matter in regular gameplay anyways. A good player will still mop the floor
So no sadge
Less sadge
I mean
I've been playing a lot of Relic Blade and I'm getting 800k in normal damnations so
me regularly top fragging with rashad bonker pre-FGS 
granted it was a bit of a meme build
Ngl I give up on the combat axes
bonker is in a much better state now
I've wanted to relive the early brutal momentum days for ages now
how come? if you can handle relic blade, you can definitely handle rashad
braindead weapon
But I can't make them work for me anymore lol
To be fair, I regularly top randoms
🤔
They just feel too clunky for me tbh
and I'm known as bad at damage
i think they really need 10% attack speed, but i personally think they feel ok
Slow w/ cleave I can handle, slow w/ no cleave not as much
you should be killing four heretics with each swing if you're doing it right
I guess I can play now if you want
@radiant frigate @strong gulch or any other friends?
Let's do it. Need like 10 minutes.
That's nice, but it feels so much better to be able to cleave everything and apply the bleeds + kill however many dudes a relic blade can in a single swing.
I'm an ex Mordhau player, so Relic Blade/Force Greatsword is my cup of tea since it's just reliving my Zweiguy days in Darktide
i like relic blade, but pretty sure rashad has faster horde clear than relic blade
at least against bruisers and chaff
rashad does struggle against shit like ragers tbf
The difference is being able to have cleave at different levels and being able to avoid hit stoppage while you chain.
So like
You got maulers mixed into a horde
If you swing at head level you get nothing but 1 hit
If you swing body though you're able to get everything
And then when the light stab goes out you can go for the head
that's fair, but i think you should give rashad another go, especially on vet where it really shines
So with like Punishment you can just hold off a lot of mixed elites.
it's the strongest or potentially second strongest melee weapon on vet for very good reason
and still very good on psyker/zealot too
People say it shines on Vet but it still doesn't compare to the stupidity that is the power sword lol
Coming from a vet main
Yes it does?
rashad is a PS that's always on
Me trying to empower my PS and getting slapped a dozen times while doing so:
You can make an argument about the 6 being just as good if you animation cancel the power up
I just say because the Power Sword can kill 5 at a time and cleave carapace so it's like
it's pretty simple, the horde clear is similar, the single target is similar
you don't need to power it
Like the fact that 1 handed can but relic blade can'tnis silly
I'll give it a look later then.
You can ask path in vet chat if you want the full breakdown on why rashad is so good
You mean the quickflow into block?
I'll just look at the guide and see for myself
i like that rashad can stagger crushers out of overheads lol
Also ready @hearty wolf
the main downside of rashad vs. PS on vet is that you need to invest in melee talents
and take trench fighter
for rashad
si, gimme two mins
PS with Power Cycler and Sunder is just dumb now tho lol
Now? They change something?
Like you lose the 15% weakspot damage, gain 20% heavy damage, and then get your kill cap upped to 5 from 4
Swapping Brutal to Sunder*
outside of havoc, without BM, PS definitely falls behind Rachad
Mfw Powersword push attacks count as heavy attacks
unless all you're fighting are rager hordes the entire match or something 
Being able to Cleave Crushers and Maulers at head level tho is nice
The 30% weakspot and 25% finesse nodes do put in work
This is misinformation btw I wish
Only Knife and Tacaxe get those honors 😭
just lemme know when
FGS is so much fun lol, just need to get better with it
What gun do you guys use with FGS? I'm using an EK staff right now but could totally see a bolt pistol being good
Vraks
I use heavy laspistol 2
Lemme guess the moonlight projectile applies 4 stacks of bleed
@hearty wolf @nocturne dust @quiet inlet
that has to be a bug though
i like running mk6 mostly to reliably proc crit talents / EE when needed
and for ammo econ
helldivers 2 is pretty fun
and no guarantee they'll fix the bug even in feb lol
Rip Xbox stability
I think it's extremely boring xd
I’d rather they fix penetration of the soul not working
crazy how long that has been broken
should be an easy fix
Idk i started off directly in max difficulty and it was certainly not boring
i would think...
Pretty sure null dragon figured out the problem last week. It is just doing a quick change in a line of code
of course
No?
Yeah they just forgot the variable in the actual main damage calculation
We do a little trolling

I was manifesting since I was hoping the heavy damage bonus from Sunder applied
But I tested it a bit ago and alas it does not
That's true actually. Half asleep gaming is.... something.
ah sick
Ah yes, the EK. It having 1 less blessing and they never compensated for it.
best staff
It is a very fun staff
I remembered someone saying they could bring the old Surge staff back as an alternative mark
Maybe not really like that but more chained targets and less damage
Very fun staff, but likely to turn you into a grenade.
When mini smite but actually damage.
Sienna’s conflag staff so I can shit out vfx all over my party members screen
And beam staff
Miss my beam staff
You want to kill consoles, I guess.
I play on PC, just with a controller due to no table space.
Unless you really want to watch me tunnelvision to the point of sniper scope lvls.
9 slides to the left/right to spin 1 round.
Just watched a 2022 beta test video and whenever the Psyker used the surge staff there was a ghost whispering sound
And my mouse sits on 1.2k dpi.
Was that a thing in earlier versions of the game
I think that's just high peril whispers.
Dunno. I just know you get whispers then, other than the loud booms.
Checked it again, it was peril warning indeed
@hearty wolf
@hearty wolf
Join us next week to relearn all the same lessons we already know
It's how we keep the game from getting too easy 
Actually true
Memory problems for the win.
Also, I kept looking for a mini map... there has never been a mini map. 
Dear god LMAO
When minimap so I can glance where my team is as I'm lost and panicking?
Right? lmao
I can read it better that weird tiny arrows at times that don't even give info.
I gotta extract that sound file
I want to know what they're saying
So... my hands but more work?
This is like segs all over again
Now you can use your hands for something else
Like exploding heads
Or shadow puppets
So more assails? Or I can hedpop with assail now?
wdym, assail has headpop
You throw it at a guy and their head literally gets shredded off with the glowy neck
purple assail autopistol
assail flavor Lollipop
Yes, but flayer and psykinetic on 'Assail'.
Since we are talking a theoretical assail gun.
What the horde clear combo on the obscurus force sword
I was told to do something like push light light heavy light but it looks like there’s a lot of overhead attacks in that
Grim Protocols - Patch Notes - Pt. 2 Hey Everyone, Make sure to check out Pt. 1 of the Patch Notes. Here is Pt. 2. Weapon Changes Obscurus Mk II Blaze Force Sword Added a new Light attack, available only when chaining from and to the Heavy 2 attack, or while in Slide stance Improved the offensive properties of the Light 2 attack Dev note:...
First section they talk about the horde clear loop
Aye
Got it
Just lost a whole mission to the game giving a SINGLE input error, FGS special didn't come out when I told it to so it made me peril boom
So lame
yea lemme block cancel from now on, sounds great
🙄
probably woulda been too slow anyway
yippie
How the hell do you use the voidstrike staff
Do you just keep spamming orbital death or wizard that shit
charge up and point it at things whose existence disagrees with your own
Voidstrike in 2025 

Strongest 🅱️istol User: 
Weakest Voidstrike User: 
Good enough
oh and then release and watch them explode
hope this explains it!
Put your psyker balls in their face. With prejudice.
just try the 3rd person perspectives in darktide, horrible
vile
Tried it earlier today as well.
Wacky ahhh
Ready to take a crusher overhead
I wonder how long i can hold off reaper with that
trying to get inferno staff with quell speed at 60% since 4 days.. I'm poor asf
SCAB MELEE IS UP
Normal board noob
Why do you want quell speed at 60?
real quick, guys, does a lvl 410 +3 stamina curio give 3 staminas?
i saw that it has to be 410 but idk if 410 counts
ty in advance
farming ogryn penances
spent a solid 3 minutes grinding a mixed hoard of crushers, bulwarks and other armor to save the one dude with kraks so we could kill a bonbon
410 counts, under 410 doesn't give +3
410 is usually +3. 400 and below are basically fakes. They will show as 3 in the psykhanium but are just +2 in real matches.
Fake news
What's fake news
bc I'm following the guide lol
Blessings for electro staff?
38 minute riser bros.............
inferno
the never quell build?
Do we all lynch that guide with pitchforks?
Nexus Flurry
Unless it's telling you to DS4.
Or Nexus Surge
And passive quell.
If you go lmbing
Okay, you can also dump warp res, quell speed good
wait, is inferno flurry + blaze or nexus + blaze? i always assumed it was nexus because crits apply 2 stacks
Ah then ye been using that one
wdym
How effective is trasnfer peril btw?
Nexus Blaze
ok cool, good to know i havent been griefing my teams
0:00 Optimal rolls and Curios
1:30 Empyric Resolve - DO NOT STACK TOUGHNESS
2:23 Talent build
3:00 Blaze Away techs
5:10 Joining mission
34:50 Mission end
The alternative is Blaze Penetrating Flames
why is flurry recommended?
On ek, I thought was normal?
I dont use flurry on inferno tho
If you altfire mostly?
For electro it feels nice, but this staff make a fck ton of peril
i should try blaze + penetrating flames in psykhanium, idk if it'll help kill crushers
not for purge its not
I guess someone misses the flamer.
The crits use ammo from pool instead of clip thing.
2 ogryns + me pus-hardened havoc with no bubble trauma build was kind of hard
they were very good though
sup, that was me and kej
we got unlucky with the chaos spawn, we would've been fine otherwise
ggs
yes, my build was very bad for a three man
i hold W because i don't taje Ls
Advance from one bubble to the next with the occasional chorus to move between sections 
😤
extremely engaging
Indeed
I like the modifiers, I enjoy the higher amount of teamplay required. I don't like most of the things around it though, including the overturned shooters that basically force you to play like that
question: what does cranial parasite actually do
like bombers being able to throw grenades while moving
Shoot enemy head they blow up like barrel
oh... like, with damage and everything? i have noticed knockback
It’s the “time to get ledged” modifier
Bigger the enemy bigger the explosion
No damage, it’s all yeeting
ah ok, thanks
You don’t have to play slow or in bubbles, you just have to move as a group and use cover
Is like, every mook is a poxburster now.
cranial corruption is a strictly beneficial modifier
It’s not until the high 30s that shooters are enough of a menace to really pervert play
Since everyone has shoot hed reflexes.
No because most people can’t aim
But otherwise, does nothing if no vet with gun.
Is soulblaze shriek still better than damage even if I have no soulblaze synergy?
how do you deal with shooters in high 30s? just use ammo to kill them with guns? i hear ammo gets really scarce with high havoc but have only reached 25
Yes
bubble
Excuse me, I at least have a 50% hed hit rate.
shoot in the noggin or tank with bubble or voc or chorus
also, suppression
Ppl can't be worse than that.
if im ever in a double psyker team i will run surge electrokinetic to kill shooters
but usually im the sole psyker and gotta run inferno
It's already bad in 26 lul.
sole psyker is annoying because now i can't do funny sword things
and I'm expected to backline and spam bubble
I never get accepted with my psyker into havoc, only my preacher’s gotten accepted so far 
I would smyker, but I'm so bad at the game Zealot is still best bet.
lower havocs (20s) i have just played cleanse book zealot
because if i didn't then we slowly die to corruption
You generally move to the most covered spot and try to get them to come to you. Can also suppress with staff balls. Generally tho people at that level are good enough to just go kill them
More or less unless is 1-5. But those are whatever goes.
Also pretty common to bring survivalist vet + people have reasonable fire discipline so ammo isn’t generally a big deal
Taunt the shooters with ogryn shield 
reasonable fire discipline?? inconceivable
If I pull out my flamer, there is way too much shit going on.
Yeah it turns out when you make not playing like a mong a key part of progression you get better play 😂
although i can imagine a dedicated helbore vet could do a number on havocs too
Yep, he fed us all ammo and cleaned house
If you get a reaper pack spawn in a bad spot in h40 it’s run ending if you don’t have a counter to them
The standard shooters are all manageable with the usual move tech and gunners you just have to play careful around
with the quell reduction i imagine it is a better ranged choice than psyker
But if you turn a corner into a reaper who is already shooting and he lights you up you’re done 😂
since helbore is just unaffected
