Auric mael is not particularly hard
That’s why it got used as a small level skip for havoc
Still find histg harder than most maels. Only the maels with 5 modifiers are tough
yeah, wanna go there again tomorrow?
we'll make it a weekly thing
Torture Karien Tuesdays
monstrous specialists?
imo the best way to get good at the game is to go for the penance that requires you to take zero health damage in a mission… with pugs
i tried to loop the BoN when another one spwaned
I see you are friends with Vet mains.
Auric mael has nothing on the sheer agony of staying untouched for 40m with people who get 1v1’d by pox walkers
Ever since Havoc broke, 2 of them asked me if I wanted to go auric damnation or auric mael.
just one i think

You guys make me want to make use of a martyrdom build again.
It’s better to learn to not be hit than crutch on ways to make yourself unkillable
You play with 300 ping and come back to me on that.
Meh pay for Starlink
Starlink?
What's wrong with that
Stigma.
Stigma balls?
I dunno, you opened yourself up for that I'm afraid
Gotta work on that positioning 😭
I legit find the condition less regular ass damnations pretty challenging lol. Some of em the ai director just loses its shit on lol. Saw a casual ass pack of 15 crushers in one yesterday lol
.-. Is just when you see 6 wounds, you usually expect them to well... you know.
Crushers and maulers mixed. So many, just so many.
@bold cape you just got called out so hard
Well, it's the general view. I had people just leave when they saw such. Even when I'm either close, or left behind to deal with everything.
People are just bad in general so. It's no worries
Leavers are part of why auric is so bad
And you know I'm bad.
Like it’s routine for me to go thru multiple teams in the first ten minutes of an auric
I mean, assuming it gets that far.
It’s a big part of why I am 100% havoc these days and only doing aurics again because it is broken
But it’s so boring and suck I’m gonna skull hunt instead
Ppl leave in havoc even.
Much rarer
I had a vet drop, a zealot drop.
And the poo players get filtered out
One cos too many zealots.
Other was just. "I'm sorry I'm not doing much." then leaves.
To be fair, when a revolver zealot is sniping more specials and elites than you...
not doing much
decides to do less
I mean I’ve had maybe 3 or 4 havocs where I’ve had someone leave and it wasn’t a crash
In aurics I have twice that many leave in the first ten minutes as a routine event
Funny thing is, the zealot one was an easy win, did not get credit since that person was the host.
The frequency is massively different
It's like, havoc 4.
4 zealots with chorus would just cheese the entire thing.
Minigame?
Holy symbol.
Ok I don’t really play a lot of single digit havoc 🤷♀️
Holdout? chain holy symbols.
I’m pretty sure if you’re moderately competent you can do it with just bots
do what?
Is more, we (3 man) PF'd for 18.
Single digit havoc
yeah
Ok well you can just decline
They left in the lobby.
isnt havoc 10 and below just malice?
COs 4 zealots.
We just strolled through it with 3 zealots.
Which is necessary because there are a lot of idiots
I think you’ve told this same story two dozen times
It’s like talking to a tape recorder at this point
I think I did mention it yesterday.
But yeah, it's a problem.I do repeat things without knowing till I think about it or someone mentions.
Usually why I normally just stick to a small group, it's less aggravating to people who understand it.
Do people on PC mostly run inferno vfx off? Had someone whining about it being hard to see, which... i can understand lol
Just open eyes more
I'll say that next time definitely
Don't have to see when you're killing everything for them
Plus if they can't get out of a inferno psykers radius idk that's just a skill issue lol
infernal staff perks would be what?
You are malice
ur sedition

Flak and crit I think?
ye flak is mandatory and your second perk can be crit chance/elite/unyielding/maniac
Unyielding for bosses and bullshitwarks
ehh
aye thanks
I’d do crit chance tbh but ig that’s dependent on your talents as well
People say this but I can’t imagine a scenario where you’d need to see what you’re shooting at with inferno staff
If you’re shooting at it you’re already close enough to see it’s there and being lit up
Oh no I meant the other players
oh idk I’d just ping something and get the outline through the fire if it was that important
But for context, it was the mission with the uh, tree at the end where you hold and wait for the purge
zealot flamer is probably harder to see through tbh
and full perks+ blessings for electric staff
And I was just "weeeeeee fire for everyone"
Just throw in a scab flamer, it's totally ezy. Bonus fire grenade from bomber.
my favorite darktide moments are when my teammates coincidentally blow up a fire barrel in a choke point and leave me on the other side of it
That's just normal.
I love that one but people are so ass in that lol
9/10 i end up on obj while tje ogryn or twbs zealot on my team runs around like a chicken with a cut off head
The beginning and end event of that map can be brutal
Like chastium gloriana or whatever it is
Once you get past 2nd phase you pretty much got er licked
Yep
Most of my fails in this game are probably the drop down from the bridge in Hab and now, closing in, is the battery event in Gloriana.
Hardest map is still Logistratum though
I'm complete ass at that snow one. I really need to learn these names
clandestine
means hidden in warhammerisms
“I am a professional tree molester”
You irl
Too many wide open areas and I haven't gotten good yet
I decided to start using the mod to hide them because i got into a team with 3 flamethrowers
i couldn't see shit
8 if you prefer more of a illisi experience, 6 for deimosesque
but which one do YOU like using more?
Sounds like "sometimes", then. Some people use it but by no means is it the default
8 is better light spam horde clear and the overhands deliver much faster than the 6, 6 is better single target heavies. I prefer the 8 cuz I usually push attack crushers anyway
if you bunny hop across fire (specifically fire from barrels) you don't take damage, iirc (or you take very very little if you mess it up)
but don't try it with fire from enemy flamers because those will still hurt you
Ik but sometimes you’re busy fighting stuff
yeah if your team has detonated a barrel and also leaves you to fight stuff on the other side while whatever you're fighting is easily within shooting distance, you have bigger problems than just the barrel
I also like mk8 fgs for the same reason lol. When I need a poke I'm usually gonna force push
Or maybe ive got it backwards and I've been conditioned by it to force push on things that I want to poke... 🤔
Taste. I prefer the Illisi, but the Mark 6 of the FGS.
What are the standard perks to run on ds4 for psyker?
carapace and unyielding/maniac
Thx 👍🏻
you mostly use it for stabbing 1) crushers 2) mutants 3) bosses because generally staves don't do too well against those, so two out of those three are probably the way to go! (some staves are pretty good against crusher mutant though)
Wait is that the snowy one with the ice breaking to release the gears and all that?
By that, it's the VoidStrike. Funny BOOM BOOM staff on crusher heds is funni.
Yes, the map where you can die right after the first drop down because barrel and bloody boomers.
Ek is pretty baller for crushers too
No?
pen flames takes really long to kill crushers still... but maybe with uncanny stacked on the melee weapon it'll be faster
Yeah
Pen Flame alone isn't great for crusher murder, you'd want additional brittleness because Pen Flame stacks
What's the skinny on Psyker. Hard to learn/play?
can be a bit fragile but is really great at dealing with extreme enemy density (psykinetic's aura and perilous combustion both scale with the number of elites/specialists you fight, and some of the staves have infinite cleave and are thus limited only by the number of targets that can fit in their range)
Interesting. That should keep me entertained for the next week
Creeping flames etc
Psyker has kept me entertained for almost four months now
oh yeah creeping flames is another "kill everything that isn't taggable in this 25m cone" ability
So with psyker I can live out my fantasy of being a "fuck you" machine and make things drop dead
Interesting, is there a pamphlet I can read on this
Funny you should ask
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
This pleases me greatly
You'll find eventually alot of stuff is player preference but most of the stuff in there is pretty accurate and explains why
Also stay away from youtube builds and posted ones on games lanterns, if you want a base building block for a specific build just ask here for advice
Games lantern?
Pretty much all of the posted ones on the suggested section or top rated are really bad despite being upvoted lol
Sounds like overframe
Now seems good as time as any to ask what's a good psyker build for doing the fun stuff like auric and the sort
Depends on what stave you wanna use or if you wanna go gunker/melleker/assailker
These words mean nothing to me
But for simplicity sake I'll say a build for keeping the hordes down
They all pretty good at that. I recommend Electrokinetic stave with some variant of a warp charges build for beginners
Gunker is pewpew build, Meleeker is BEEG SWORD and Assilker is just spamming assail.
Is the big sword that force blaze sword
The MOONLIGHT GREATSWORD.
Or Sword of Judgement, based on someone mentioning it's to be more accurate.
The Force greatsword.
Okay then
Something like this
Oh neat, it's got the tickle fingers
I'll jut be blunt and say I'll take most things being said as is, if you aren't insanely blatantly about it being sarcasm or a joke.
Or like this
Brain burst seems tricky to use. Does it speed up as the tree grows?
Will be good for electro with warp nexus and warp flurry
You don't actually use it in the former, it's grabbed for kinetic flayer
In the first build smite is just used as a tool to get res of in sticky spots or do objs
They're basically the same but kinetic flayer blows off a free brain burst on anything specialist elite or monstrosity every 15 seconds
free brain burst you say? Do say more
not unless you take specific off-meta choices
Like Kinetic Resonance and Empowered Psionics
And even then it's not great
Brainburst in general is bad 😔 Fatshark buff plz 🙏
Oh it's bad? That blows. I liked the idea of making heads pop with thoughts and a hand squeeze
Guess I have no alternative but to be a meta slave to not be vote kicked
It can be done but it's far from easy or the greatest
So out of those two builds which do you think is the most begineer friendly if any at all
I mean, outside of Havoc nobody will care what you run
you can use brainburst just fine if you want to
Either or is fine. Smite helps beginners out alot tho
Just use Assail then.
Easy as.
brainburst is just kinda niche
No. Psy aura and no flayer
No Wildfire either
Not everything has to be blitz spam lol
oh yeah i forgor flayer exists
It needs a lower CD.
yea
What's the ideal weapon choice
But we are talking for a newbie.
with what weapons
depends on what you want
That's the question now ain't it
Left side is generally for staves
But the tree itself deals with hordes
So any staff would work for horde clear
The staves do interest me so I'd say that would be a good start
You charge to 85% peril and then shriek and it wipes the whole horde
I believe I've gotten the answers I need
Here's an Inferno guide
Inferno is probably the easiest to use
i use smite for hordeclear 
begone foul demon
just to spite zealots
we do some light trolling
scary
*Lightning
ty 
When you use electro staff what melee you use for hordes?
smite
Ew
i like electrokinetic with nexus + surge and shriek + warp siphon, it handles basically everything well - shriek for hordes, primary fire kills everything except crushers/bulwarks/bosses which you use secondary fire for
you can run illisi/force greatsword for additional horde clear, plus force sword push attack has crazy stagger and can get you out of some really fucked situations
Oh allright so electro is pretty much an all rounder got it, got it
Thanks
electro sucks at horde clear
Its fine for what it is. It's basically a guaranteed one tap on any stray mutie and a decent improvement on bossing damage
but shriek is great at it
you def want shriek with EK
Immune. Thanks for making my life easier.
shriek is doing most of the work against hordes
Im trying to use this new big sword but the movement penalty is a fuck ton so no
Agreed. Ek is so newbie friendly. Just sideline and zap and yell to your hearts content
@radiant frigate Someone hates the beeg sword.
Both big swords actually have a surprising amount of stam to compensate
yeah though fgs is quite slow without right side
Chainsword 
electrokinetic also handles specialists extremely well - charged RMB has autoaim and will instantly kill a trapper or scab bomber so you just point it in their general direction to delete specials for your team
if you want a sidearm for EK, obscurus or illisi
At least big sword is good for fashion
Makes blocking DH even easier.
Apparently DH will just give up after a while?
I used deimos for a while never changed to illisi even thought pretty much everyone talk about it
Will give it a try
Idk. Just happened to me. Kept blocking and my team left me to die and then it eventually f'd off
it used to be that EK + illisi meant killing mutants was kind of a pain, but with surge available as a EK blessing now you can also delete mutants with LMB spam
obscurus is also a very good all-rounder now. much more well-rounded than illisi, if you want to give it a try
Did someone get downed?
OMG
I didn´t know I had this
"mortis operative skin"
Aig will defo use illisis then
Blessings for it?
Ye, upgraded just for the premiun currency cz got disscount xd
Since that's forced Deimos skin
Masterys in general are jusrt xmas skins, awfull
Yeah, but not by DH, pretty sure
imperial edition skin for fgs......
ew
They dook off if anyone gets killed or downed.
i think only killed counts
Ohhh alright, good to know
Taking surge just for mutants is 💀
I know cos somehow someone got pox to death when I was tanking one.
you don't take surge just for mutants! surge on EK deletes everything non-carapace
it's insane how fast that thing kills even without any quell cancel
and it deletes carapace too
so just
invest in RMB and don't be a filthy LMB spammer
with quell cancel, LMB is completely over the top
Wait is this a thing?
Slaughterer+whatever
Not for FGS.
I like shred cuz it procs mettle and empathetic if you take empathetic on surge
Ek*
Slaughterer + Uncanny is the meta
but also Uncanny only matters for certain targets and if you have EK you can just use the staff for those targets soooooo
nah just want it
Was boutta say
I want bigger sword
wait for mark 4
Give me ogryn greatsword
just wielding it costs peril
Ogryn bumper sword
Thanks, trying Illisis rn its better than expected, sooo the way to use it like the power sword on the vet?
Special, shin shin, special shin shin
It's like, better than PS in the, normal attacks aren't dook.
I would love the Illisi on my vet.
_>
they just gotta give vet ps heat bar
*okay
Illisi without meleeker isn't that great. If you want to really horde clear with it you'll be forced into specials.
Dont want to use devil sword doesnt feel psiker enough
I dig illisi. Especially with shred. The specials are on deck in a fraction of a second and the dodge buff feels nice on it
Devil's Claw is basically just for parry memes
Stroke heavy stroke heavy.
I been running fgs8 tho with my ek and it's alright. I just love the reactions of people when you flatten a entire horde a ogryn or zelly was just starting to munch lol
With the special
I still like unstable + slaughterer for illisi. Since I usually just zap (slowly) crushers
But, but.... No poke 😦
yes, use obscurus instead 
Nah obsucurus still just kinda worst of both worlds imo
Especially now that force greatsword is around and both marks are competent at both roles.
You don't need poke with ek
Oh we still on ek. Whoops
wdym, horde clear is similar to illisi
still deletes crushers
doesn't have the terrible mobility of fgs, while still being a force weapon
Death
Barely a force weapon
Call me when they fix the charged attack
they have charge attacks? 
Sometimes when I hit 100% peril I can just press 'r' and be fine. Other times I can't interact and pressing 'r' does nothing and I die. I tried seeing if it was like if I'm at 99% and do a big move it kills me, but I can't find anything consistent
If you can't quell, that means you've already perilled too much and are going to die
What does R do?
quell
If you can quell, you're fine
i certainly wouldn't mind implementing a warp slice on 1h force swords 
Sword is cringe
Greatsword is tolerable
More trying to understand what would make it so I can quell some times and not others
Like, if you hit 100% you won't necessarily explode and can be completely fine
So reaching 100% peril doesn't kill you
Straight into the warp
Do you follow any particular build weapon/blessing wise? I have not really played since release and never touched endgame. I am the fellow smite enjoyer from the other day.
but there a (scant) few attacks that have 0 protection and will kill you, like the force sword push attack, if they hit over 100% from below 100%
Ok appreciate it, might just not be watching it enough
so
Not really for Psyker, I use duelling sword to murder elites that my team will not (or cannot) deal with for me while I stun using smite. For the ranged weapon, I use voidstrike staff to clear garbage if we don't need the crowd control.
video games anyone?
I'm something of a gamer myself.
Isn't peril also rounded so your true peril is actually slightly off
Same with heat for vets plasma gun
cheater >:(
Yes
can you get a mod that stops you from dc'ing tho
my game refuses to run
No
F
huh wha happen
i didnt even touch marty up until like 3 weeks ago
can’t a girl have some build variety around here
idek there was a stigma around it
there isnt
yea i thought so lmao
people pretend its a crutch because haha wounds
but in reality your team will NOT pick you up
The stigma is wounds without marty 💀
i dont even utilize the wounds aspect lmao
it’s just nice to have that atk speed on relic blade when not using fotf + tdr when im so often at low hp in havoc
yeah
Hey psyker chat, anything worth picking up from steam winter sale?
people act like the wounds are for people to pick you up but in reality you cant rely on your team for that
have you played control?
Played it on Epic
signalis
Already have it lmao
uhh
prototype 2
i picked up stellaris for like $4
and rogue trader
Played it to hell back in the day
Honestly, the 3 options i'm at least semi interested in is the Dead Space remake, EDF 6 and despite my hatred for it, Space Marine 2
tactical breach wizards is good
Echo Point Nova is a great FPS with awesome movement tech, sliding/surfing like old Tribes. Grappling hooks, etc
roboquest good fps indie roguelike
out of those 3 dead space all the way
sm2 is pretty good
but doesn’t have the skill ceiling or replayability dt has
(very personal anti-horror game opinion)
i like horror games, but i cannot play them
Honestly, my biggest gripe with SM2 is Saber is comically incompetent
They either have THE worst update testers alive or they have the strategy of "SHIP IT, MONZO!"
WWZ is not too horrible
At least it's not overtly offensive to look at from the outside like SM2 is
That reminds me of some dev 
i scream at literally everything and my anxiety just doesn’t let me play anything scarier than resident evil
Lol I have the opposite problem
I'm never scared
Horror games are just boring to me
Honestly, Fartshark does have some moments but at least the bugs here are usually so fucking weird that you can get away with the explanation of "they just couldn't replicate it"
let’s swap brains
No, I like my brain
Meanwhile, SM2 adjusted parry timings, shipped it, and completely broke parrying.
gree
I play them for the resource management
not the horror section
Sm2 also decided that ammo wasn't very important at launch so there was just no ammo in a game with just OK melee combat
Lmao, I hate on survival games because of the stupid resource management
"Yes I'd like to manually drink water and control my throat muscles for the 10,000th time, how did you know?"
sm2 is also just
easy
which isn’t inherently a bad thing but it leaves much to be desired
From what i've seen
SM2 also has the problem of thinking ridiculously long finishers is actually something people like
(im one of them)
it’s a casual game to me
it’s something i play when i want to destress and relax, and kill things
Then it's just a chore to see BATTLE BROTHER DECIMUS WITH HIS TRUSTY COMBAT KNIFE stab a nid to death
After that it's the equivalent of watching paint dry while getting electrocuted by a car battery
ew
Ew, ew, ew
Also, one thing i'm mad at
Arguably, SM2's store page has blatant false advertising
Also, you can have the evisceration without the locking down of literally anything you can do
going to fuckign kill you
"Make and play your own space marine" doesn't exactly imply named ultramarines you can have larp as other chapters
Like, I don't need a cutscene in my videogame every time I want to kill something
this is true
In fact, cutscenes in general are bad and dumb
Lemme have freedom
Lemme get up to shenanigans
most cosmetics are just recolored ultramarines
Lemme inch closer while the boss is monologuing
until they added the dark angels stuff at least
salamander skin being a sniper is a god dam shame
idk i just want beaky helmet and lightning claws, then i will be satisfied
wait what?
You've gotta be fucking kidding
huuuuh
yep next champion pack is for salamanders and it's for the sniper class
it's looks really cool....but I don't think of snipers for them
"Everyone loves Salamanders, us included, and we really wanted to give them a Champion. Heavy and Tactical would have been good candidates, but Heavy was already taken, and we have a different idea for Tactical."
surely this means we get a raven guard assault with lightning claws though 
I'm guessing fist or hand for heavy then
"An obvious choice for the Sniper Champion would have been to be a Raven Guard, but we have different plans for them."
so probably getting the beakies and claws at some point
literally all i ever wanted
though not having the raven guard on the class that literally goes invisible is quite the choice i wont lie
but if they cook i dont mind
I guess it's early so they don't want to double dip classes yet, but with only 6 classes there's a ton of overlap with just the base chapters
im a simple creature im sorry
i am also a simple creature
down to four skulls to find
i like big swords
not too big though
skull hunting has easily been the most fun ive had in this game
perfect amount of big
not colossal hunk of metal big
but long thin and clean
not a girth enjoyer i see
like claymore big
yes
exactly
REAL
i fucking LOVE loyce greatsword
im at just shy of 5200 penance points so the really hard ones are gonna start soon
like ogryn penances 😬
Reaper kills and dodges, never getting those done I swear
"surive boredom for 500 billion hours"
- every ogryn penance
i got reaper dodge done because i slide constantly
the light greatswords in er dlc have resparked that magic for me though
actual peak
I could be done if not for my break I guess, but alas
as opposed to the upward grip on every twohander ever in all the other games?

flawless execution is tricky tho
15 missions with no downs forces you to play very weird
yes
which looks SO TIRING
someone will start casting "bones to dust" on you any moment now
Just don't go down and play malice or whatever is needed, I did that very early on while I was not good enough yet to get bored in malice 
well i coupled it with getting untouchable so that made things a little more exciting
i get very happy when games with bigger swords actually have you swing them like swords instead of just flailing them in front of you
and i think i played it on heresy or damn
Untouchable is walking while blocking simulator
i got it playing normally
altho at the end event when i realized what was about to happen i started playing very defensive
i mean... not if you mong out all the time 😂
i tried to do it one day i was at 13/15 all in a row
and i just killed myself by accident
no enemies near by nothing
i just barreled myself for zero reason
nice work
Literally skill issue 
i was too tired to function 😭
im also 35k away from the 500k enemies killed cosmetic
so that'll be fun
this is the first game ive gone achievement hunting in and ive had a good time
Can be fun yeah
also boosting stam + stam regen is well worth it
balatro 100% is never happening

as in it’d probably take hundreds of hours

That took me like over 100 hours
Just mahjong
so basically you have to win a gold stake (highest difficulty) run while holding every single joker at least once
there's 150 jokers and usually in a run you only hold 4-8 jokers
and you end up using a lot of the same ones between runs because most of them are either straight up bad, require perfect synergy, or are consumable cards that disappear after a number of rounds so you just have to get really lucky getting them late
it isnt much help that gold stake is legit just hard in general
You can choose your deck though, which can help a lot
It's completionist ++ for a reason
and also legendary jokers
you have to get all 5 of them in gold stake
and win with them after building around them
i dont even have all 5 of them yet
completionist is a lot more relaxed
one day the game will give me chicot
im so sorry
the older games are such a pain to 100% lmao
kiwami 1 car sequence in legend
you will never be forgotten nor forgiven
So i'm thinking of picking up one of:
SM2
Outlast Trials
Dead Space Remake (eeeeeh, not too sure on it but is good game)
EDF6
edf6 is fire
do sm2, im totally not biased towards the genre
One thing i'm sorta apprehensive about is the gameplay kinda seems like not my thing
But Fencer my beloved
fencer sword gaming
I'm not interested in swords
Give me the artillery
Explosives are the only melee weapon i need
never been a fan of edf
but i heard a lot of negative discourse about the new one
(i dont know anything about it)
mfw every game these days needs a separate launcher or account to play
Fuck it, i'll wheel it
First to hit 3 wins
Alright, the wheel and my budget have decided on SM2 and Outlast Trials
Is there a decent build for havoc that uses force blaze gs
My current meta build has kinda too low warp cap and tend to max out the percentage with just two special slashes
Or do I just gotta suck it up and start using the dueling sword
sg dd gaming
But you can still make the cleave work
Oof
SG is kinda meh tbh
funny dmg
At least i can’t make it work in high havoc
Not without a second guy doing bubble bitch and then it’s like why do we need a melee monster when we have a trauma/burger

The big stuff is reaper/boss, horde clear, bubble, book
SG/DD fgs is only really horde clear and not able to crack armor well
In bulk
Also I just did a 3x psyker with me penance hunting as zealot and I s2g all of them were smite
It was a chill mission with a lot of pickup penance progress gained 😂
smite is so good, it's gonna get nerfed probs
We've been saying that for over a year and it has only ever received buffs
Smite is incorrectly used by the majority of people. Won’t get nerfed
this means charged strike has hope
Ok I can work with ds mkIV
The x slash light attack is kinda dookie but I can manage
I’ve seen maybe 1 rando ever use smite effectively
Yeah, truly. I can count on one hand
only like
the best weapon in the entire game
I dont like doing a meta jerk off
And the x fast slash is still mid af
its not great but its not like it offsets the insane heavies, special, mobility etc
I like to use it on that one modifier, mostly melees with enhanced blitz or some shit
Yeh it's good, takes some getting used to
I just asked a dude the other day that was smiting everything while he was smiting a monstrosity if he had unequipped the rest of the kit jokingly amd he replied all mad with "I'm applying enfeeble this is a support psyker" lol
Yeah that's not what it's for except on zealot lol

surely he jests
Nah he was like actually mad. I wish he had replied in text cuz my background recording had crashed
But I like using my fast attack every now and then
What's the meta swinging on it anyways
what diff were you in lmao
Auric damn
huuuuuh
Pubs are trash right now bro lol
Dudes with 300 gear score tryna square up with the 2nd hardest difficulty on the game
little jimmy wants havoc 16 when he cant handle auric mael
Playstation and come back kids from the before times
Hilariously enough havoc 16 is a cake walk compared to most auric maelstrom in my experience
tbf i did bring a 300 gear score ogryn into it and did just fine lmao
i think its just people who're bad
i jumped straight into 35ish
so idek what its like lower than that
If i get the good fortune of jumping into a not in session on quick plays and I see someone with bad gear I just dip now lol
thats fair
the only time i leave a game is if im in the first ~minute and i see a smitker who smites 4 walkers
then im out
I have gotten to the point where if 2 people suck I don’t care. If the other person can survive. Cool
i dont mind when people arent amazing
or bring meme loadouts
just smitkers
thats it xd
i have off days sometimes
and bring things that shouldnt really work
As a hybrid platformer, on ps5 I turn xplay off so the others that join get a harsh reality check just how much they've likely been getting carried by PC players thus far
But it's nice finding decent thumb rats, too
quit crying about smite
omg
Quell canceling is... Tricky lol
you're gonna hurt the ability's feelings
SMITE LOVES THE EMPEROR JUST AS MUCH AS YOU, OK?
only brought it up cause zerk mentioned meeting an angy support psyker in the wild
ah ok, bad timing then cuz I just checked the chat lol
and it got quite the giggle out of me
i have it on very good authority that Smite is a devout follower of the Emperor
What are we doing, bashing smite again?
no, no... I checked to make sure
alyx's megalomaniacal rants about how smite is akin to worshipping nurgle's gooch isn't happening atm
but im on overwatch, gotta protect Palpatine's livelihood
daily smite discussion
daily smite inquisition*
There a way to make scier's gaze revolver work compared to something like bubble/disrupt revolver?
I feel like the ult is a lot more impactful there than the weapon
And is that authority Nurgle?

im pleading the 5th
It’s also 100% unnecessary at every level of play
Heresy
Those guys are legit hilarious
by that point just play ogryn to get soften them up on the boss
Poke, poke, dodge, poke, dodge poke
Its just poke man
If a crusher is about to end your life, do the special poke
Is the special poke morw of a stagger poke
Yes
Aight thanks, I think I'll get the hang of it eventually
It will stagger a crusher or maulers out of overhand lol
So you don‘t get overheaded while trying this: you gotta headshot to get the stagger
Lmao I was gonna get overheaded so hard
Even better vs rager
Special poke into big poke
Cuts them out of their combo
HERESY. BOOM BOOMS GUD.
Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the 3 marks of Recon Lasgun ?
12 is best for proccing crit talents, one of the other two is balanced, the strongest and slowest shooting one has better armor but is a ammo pig
Brr, brrrr, and bbrrrrrrrrrrr?
I mean it already does work
Just bubble easy mode
Whats the VLC one do
that one unlocked last at mastery 10
or should that be Mark 6c ?
Is damage taken by existing soulblaze stacks effected by the empyric shock debuff?
also a great video player :p
is havoc mode fixed?
not according to https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1042892129594245130
oh i see, thanks
is the penance screen also bugged lol
penances working fine for me
gang i just had a poxburster jump straight through my block push using fgs
how is this possible?
Did you push attack?
Man just me or Assail seems really really bad?
Between lag, desync, and a burster getting multiple stagger sources, sometimes they just don't push. (or get pushed in the wrong direction)
Did you level with assail and how are you using it now?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d413a41-b3e7-490e-a5fd-eccf038e9266/mister-es-hybrid-assail Just using this but with a Chainaxe for melee
ew
oh god mister e
Well it doesn't say its a havoc build ?
no warp split its over
Because assail becomes what it's supposed to be in T5s. In lower difficulty it can cleanup everything. Just spam and it wipes out a horde and elite mobs in lower difficulties vs in T5 you have to be more measured. It's still spam but also focusing on those elites trying to get you. There is also way more enemy density in harder content.
Also high havoc has higher mass, density, and pus hardened skin (depending on modifier), so assail has a lot working against it there.
wait why tranquility hes not using scriers
I just tried the build in Damnation, and the Assail didn't really feel like doing anything worhwhile
warp splitting helps a lot
it looks like a Havoc build
No scriers, taking bubble
Does it affect the Assail splinters
it hits more targets then
Yea imho Bubble seems better
Yep, warp splitting boosts the amount of targets it can hit
Buble turns off ranged enemies
if you need points cruel fortune from dd, that toughness node and perilous combustion could go
Yes
So does sliding
Slide
Learn to slide
Don't use bubble, it's a crutch outside Havoc
It's only meta in Havoc because you have to basically avoid all ranged damage or instantly die
If anything when i do have Scriers i just never really use it
yeah ranged units in havoc are so silly
Even then it’s not needed
Assail also staggers man sized targets, most shooters are that size.
You could do venting with 2 book zealots
No offense, but that is literally a skill issue
Assail staggers ragers 
I love it with dclaw melee psyker
truly impressive
But
Chainaxe kills them
You gotta use the worst weapon on psyker
Dead Rager ✅
Staggered Rager ❌
yea i am leveing masteries
its not that bad tho
It's not just stagger one rager.
I would be very surprised if you can kill more than a single rager before they start beating the crap out of you with Chainaxe
Assail can stagger a lot more than 1 tho
Silly billy if you charge into that many ragers with the mk 4 you’re cooked
I like it on vet and zealot but psyker is a stretch
it does its job
kills the enemy
Assail can kill ragers but it can also give you breathing room. Gunners at the back, ragers at the front. Assail to kill and give room to reposition.

nothing is going to beat the Duelling Sword anyways
Mad talk for someone in FGS distance
big sus on that one
Bruh, everyone is literally telling you assail kills things
Just buy a bunch of them and make them green then sacrifice them
You can just not like assail. It's not bad tho.
fgs denier?
All you have to do is look vaguely in enemy directions and they will die if they aren't heavily armored
siblings, rupture his brain
assail denier
Sure as hell don't feel like it does more than placebo
Your feelings are wrong 
Everyone here is telling you this
Yeah assail with warp unbound and like the 3 other damage talents unnerfs assail
are you using the bazillion damage buffs from psyker talents
He's using shield instead of scrier's 

in normal mode 
I mean assail shriek does a lot too.
definitely recommend against taking shield in non-havoc lmao
Well then i've seen y'all glazing it so far, but no one has come with a build yet
just use warp splitting
for assail?
Very passive aggressive way to ask 
That's fair. Guess it was just at the front of my mind since I've been messing with it lately, probably should have referred any of the other more difficult things related to controller use he
Here, Gunker is Assailker is Meleeker
Run recon/vraks, run a force sword (great or not), profit
Swap to assail to gen toughness and help clear scattered enemies/horde
if you dont run assail you remove one of the subclass names from it
Swap to melee to chew things up, FGS works best
Aight
Which mark of Recon Lasgun
The Fast One™️
12 i think?
depends a bit on what weapons i get from drops
Any work, I forget which one it is but the general recommendation is the one with the lowest damage (because it is the most ammo efficient and fires the fastest)
yea 180 rounds, super fast
feels like a gatling laser
Yeah
Here is a non scrier's build with a video.
https://youtu.be/DmuEgEBHzrY?si=NqPiiaZA8JIKyUQP
I personally prefer to have quietude in my builds, so I would have to make sacrifice for it.
Love it when people don't do objectives at Baross. A true classic.

Anyone who says they can is a liar
Parry spam
It’s so good
feels like the distant cousin of melee psyker
I love parrying the curshers and maulers to death
what i love more is hitting them in the head with fgs
It’s the only time I take kd
So am i to understand that Warp Splitting has higher value than Ethereal Shards ?
Yes
Ye
wtf
ye
I take them both
thats weird

It increases your assail cleave more and also increases cleave of your melee and ranged
it epic
If you have like 20% peril you already get what ethereal shards gives you.
you dont even need 20%
it rounds up
And assail tends to disappear before it needs the cleave ethereal shards would give on top of warp splitting
hahah incredible
Do people really play that gameslantern smite build in havoc 40?
If anything i might swap "By Crack and Bone" for "Ethereal Shards"
darktide matchmaking is currently so fucked i have just been playing helldivers instead
no, don't
its pretty fun at difficulty 10 anything below is a walking sim though
Get Quick Shards if you must, but ethereal shards is whatever with warp splitting, and By Crack of Bone while in melee lets you stay in Scrier's which is very useful
if you are in melee as a psyker you will always be weakspot killing
with melee????

all of your weapons have a huge finesse bonus
ic
Just swing at head
if you want to drop a node you can drop Cruel Fortune (dd subnode) or Empathic Evasion (dodge on crit)
all you do is weakspot kill
those are kind of extraneous
Don't drop Cruel Fortune
I miss the head A LOT and I still get enough weakspots for by crack of bone or the extra stacks on kill from DD.
u can drop cruel fortune just fine
I hate people who think stacking DD is easy and totally fine 
it stinks though
lock in?
idk its easy and totally fine

I have the fixed buff bar, I track DD's uptime
just super carry
i have dd stuck in the middle of my screen i cant not see it
its so fine without cruel fortune
i have it below stam bar
Maybe if you're like the only one killing
and you also kill like single targets at a time
i mean i kill a lot
im just stabbing people and it works idk
you dont need it for 15 stacks thats for sure
oh yea for 4s i think then cruel is mandatory
maybe if youre worried about stacking it back up quickly
but no you really dont need it
I mean you don't need anything
yeah you get 20s to refresh it to 15
20 seconds?
perfectionism just seems like pure anxiety gameplay

counting 14
perfectionism is dope
I disagree
I should try perfectionism on my assail trauma build if I get get good and peril management again.
yeah i don't have any issues doing dd stacks lol. when the indicator is working and i'm in combat i always have at least 10 or 12.
when the destiny is disrupted
nah
Everybody said mettle had great uptime too, and then I tested it and it had crap uptime 

not even gonna waste the energy on something so stupid as saying something with a 10 second stack drop is hard to keep up lol
Everybody just assumes crap, smh my head
but i have it in the middle of my screen
We're talking about perfectionism. not the other one
he isnt
nah i been looking alot after you make that bold claim and it's right next to my crosshairs lol
No, I'm also talking about lingering Influence
perfectionism can really be a massive cope lol
Perfectionism is a massive cope, yes
Then it should be easy for you to prove with a video

you prove it by not having your stacks up in a video
But then you'll just say I'm not playing right
which is what everyone already says
so guess what
show me how to play right

na
Then I guess I am playing right and am correct since nobody can disprove it 
sure
ig we'll have to keep dd for ourselves
I didn't say DD is bad 
stacks all mine
idk what hud you use but none of the ones i've tried have had the dd indicator fixed lol
better buff hud
yeh, better buff hud
What is a super viable psyker build for havoc 40 if you are solo psyker? Gameslantern is a little...iffy
I usually go bubble and purg staff
feel like it would take you forever to do it solo
Bubble and trauma or purg, yeah
I would go Fire Trauma
Or rending trauma if you feel like your team is at least somewhat competent (and you better hope they are on Havoc)
better buff management + an extra bar
why combat blade better than DS4? in my opinion DS4 has more damage in weak spot
Ah yes, 3 psykers and a ogryn. Too many Spark 'eads, he says. Easiest Auric damn game for the night, lul.
I used rending trauma for a bit and felt like rending is great vs bosses for team damage
This is from the Atheneum?

y
Atheneum is sussy sometimes
Especially on the more opinionated stuff like tier lists for blessings and builds
ds4 is just the best really
The main reason to take knife would be mobility
don't realy like the combat blade
so you could reposition more easily
Yeah the athenaeum had me believing quell cancelling was essential for fire trauma
that has a quell cancel?
and there's no true infinite pump build
2 times in a row finish Maelstrom, and got an "error code" at the end, so we got no rewards
are slopshark servers exploding lmao
you will have to quell if you play the game and happen to not have 100 enemies squished into a small location for you to kill faster than you can generate peril
"45k"
