Rending is only used in havoc.
For maelstrom you're better off with blaze.
And you're only using rending if there's a burga user on team anyway, at least that's how I'd do it.
burga?
oh
No it's too hard. 
i only play sedition sadly

Same 2 maulers is the end of me
yeahh sedition goes wild when it spawns 6 groaners
Assail can't keep up 
Boss music comes on when the groaners gang show up

me dodging all the groaner 1 shot attacks
It’s just a few groaners 
man you guys are shit talking sedition but have any of you tried leveling a new char
Speaking of music, I wish the Disposal Unit remix would play for random captains showing up in the mission
Yes
all 4 yea
it really feels like that
Ngl one of my friends died to soldier of Godrick a few days ago
i dont blame him
the soldier of god
My first match on my psyker was an auric maelstrom
criminal
He was too greedy
That was rough
hardest boss in souls history
for psyker dueling sword what are good blessings
my first game on my second zealot was auric damn
it was super easy
sister friede aint got shit on him
ask @marble crater
Tracks
Bro was too antsy to fight the dlc stuff he got humbled by the goat himself
It's true
pfff i did the carrying 
only games ive ever hitless'd are ds3 and sekiro
couldnt care to do it for the others
Try carrying on psyker
Lvl 1 to 7 or 8 in one mission
level 1
yeah
sl1 peak
With 75 toughness and hp
yup
zealot bby!
The one I prefer is the brain burst one
But i don't hardly ever use the brain burst. It's taken for pathing and the kinetic flayer augment
I do still prefer the brain burst over smite to use tho especially when I'm using vraks mkv because the vraks takes care of bosses and ogryns and the greatsword takes care of everything else, bb gets used for the pesky sniper here or there
But the assail one is closer to "meta" i personally find the bb one i posted easier and overall just smoother to play cuz you're just always in scriers rather than juggling between scriers and assail
Uncanny and whatever
Riposte or rampage are good, some recommend agile which might help if you're newer at the cost of some bps
Warp traveller and nightsider best songs.
They are the most 'psyker' tracks.
Also great, just like the rest of the soundtrack honestly
If it's zealot that's reasonable
thanks, tried the assail one in arkanium. don't understand the whole scrier's thing, but will test it in a run tomorrow
Its just more damage.
More finesse and straight up damage and 20 percent more crit chance with tdr and movement speed and so on wrapped up in it
so, keep active for as long as possible. and is it melee only or also ranged?
you want fast firing weapons with it. or the new 2hswords
You can do either
thanks, will try it tomorrow.
or melee of your choice
Yee I suggested recon 12, vraks 5, or heavy las 2
after i tested it
assail and scriers dont really work together. its deceiving that they are on the same side of the tree. but generally i find they woork seperately
all infatry autoguns work good
Yeah vraks is just the best
yes
assail you lob into mixed hordes or snipe, and when your peril is built up and you recharge, swap to melee or gun
scriers is just a damage buff for melee or shooting
columnus 8 is nice middle ground of being less ammohungry
and agrip being even less ammohungry and packing a punch
Yeah that's why I run my temu zealot with flayer so I can just straight up be on scriers all the time
psyker with 2h sword and +40% movement speed is stupid
you ever have a weapon that you absilutely hate when you start using it, but love when you hit full mastery
of only the dd buff for speed lasted longer
yes assail
i have a feeling voidsblast is gonna fit that bill because i absolutely hate it right now
Strangely enough lol
luckily because of a bug i dont have to level shovels and devil claws
Pretty much any stave sucks big butt until you get to at least 400 rating
poop shovel or sapper shovel
vet shovel slaps dude
before picks existed
for my builds and looks it does not work
the heavy sweep is so easy to use and control hordes
i leveled devils claw alongside recon lasgun and marksman perk by mag dumping into hordes I dont think I pulled the devils claw out once
psword is good, but with shovel you dont have to fuss with power activation
I personally prefer it because of that
most of the time now i use either the shock maul, combat axe or mk6 knife
depends what build i ran on vet
I have yet to touch the shock maul
but on zealot relic blade is love relic blade is life
i prefer the munitorum one
and its better imo
but you start with the other one as base i think
anyone play with a 40 havoc psyker named pyro?
@vague rain is it you?
Idk if it's them they in strike team 45

I think it shows your havoc level on all chars
That was me
So probably was me
yea i was wondering if you got havoc on psyker or not
Not me I am chinese.
Lol
i cant survive havoc above 30 as psyker
Just stay in the bubble and stick as a squad
Also do not pick smite
Smite is dog and only for low levels
Just build a havoc bubble and play it for like a week straight on auroc heresy and dam
Thats what I'm doing lol
Simply be better
Eeeeehhhhhhh
I mean smite sucks for gameplay
I think he's talking about low level havoc
but if you want effectiveness it's great... provided you have someone else for DPS
well, smite is still smite at high havoc

I'm am now forced to do a Havoc 40 with smite
I would assume smite + shriek is still good at high havoc. I haven’t tried it though
Smite + bubble would be fine with another Psyker running Inferno
assuming a second psyker with a bubble
I have done that with someone (them smite). Never again
Id smite for havoc it i could find a team that's worth a damn lol
Smite is already shitty on normal without vent. It is even worse on havoc
Every sucessful mission I have had above level 30
Let's be real, it's not crap, it's stupid amounts of stagger. The only reason it's seen as crap is because it makes you reliant on teammates if you use it that way.
2 Bubble Psykers with double flame staff,
Book Zealot
Veteran
And your teammates better be functional on high Havoc, so I see no issue
What does veteran run? Res shout?
Yeah. I guess my view is coming from 85% pub play so there is that
Double flame?
The Veteran had the ammo ability, and exclusively picked up all the ammo,
I was book Zealot with Purify, to take out cleanse.
Oh dude
No
double flame???
Veteran had the shout to give yellow armour
Double flame is RIP dps
most dmg ive ever done lol
Flame staff is the best DPS high level
Yes
still no true survivor tho 😦
Yeah but why are you stacking 2.
But you don't get 2 different dots
and the Veteran just blasting
especially because pen flame stacks with rending trauma
I'm just saying personal experience, All the successful missions I have done that was the comp
And boss DPS is not an issue,
The problem with level 35
I never thought I'd see the day where purg bubble would be the goat
Is you have like 10% ammo from ammo pickups
So the 1 vet, will pick up all the ammo just to be able to shoot
@hearty wolf pick one of these. 😆 😂 🤣 😎
We love our flame staff 
eh
Silence complainer
nuh uh

I don't like it at all. It's just better than trauma for me
I mean Trauma is safer
because it can deal with and knock over crushers
so Inferno doing more damage makes sense
Only reason it beats out VB on high havoc is because of the peril stuff imo
Mmmmm, no, 15 stacks of soulblaze does work
I have a question on that
Does 2 psykers soulblaze ability affect other psykers enemies
Psyker 1 sets an enemy on soulblaze, psyker 2 kills, does it spread soulblaze?
You 'own' the stacks if you get the first stack
which is why Blazing Trauma is bad alongside an Inferno
but also
the 'on death from soulblaze' talents like souldrinker do not care about ownership
any soulblaze counts
I believe Wildfire does care about Ownership
Gotcha
Which is funny, cause the description doesn’t mention ownership
I mean, PC doesn't work if the kill is from soulblaze anyway so it has to be Wildfire unless they don't know that
Wildfire specifies "your soulblaze"
In Fire Reborn and Souldrinker do not
Pyro next time you run 2 psykers try 1 rending trauma 1 burga.
Run will go even smoother and faster.
only if they're bad
EP smyker can basically deal with 90% of a run themselves faster than any other class
I mean, less DPS is going to be slower than more DPS
Source?
It's still less damage than Inferno
15 soulblaze stacks big damage
so how does inferno damage every single unit on the map simutaneously
How does smite

Without smite you can walk to the units quicker
EP faster jumps with smite upgrade for +1 jump
that hops from unit to unit spreading like a virus to the entire map yes
it takes like 3 seconds basically to kill an entire horde before you reset and charge up for the next horde
It only goes so far from your psyker before it'll just stop
anything that isn't a horde just gets deleted by electrokinesis staff
Surge staff the goat
Until they back into a corner and get their dick stomped by a boss because they were too busy smiting to follow the relocation ping
This is an exaggeration, and Inferno will output more damage for that
ok yes i have been skillchecked several times playing EP smyker ok :c
because 15 stacks of Blaze Away boosted soulblaze is a lot
EP smite is boring, don't play it 
I had a psyker duo in a true survivor run today maybe like 40m ago who did that while I was book supporting
Like smite is very strong but it isn't the most damage, it's just extremely easy and safe
I was cheesed off because we had an easy way out and two bags
But despite repeated pings they backed into a dead end and got mauled by pogryn and captain before I could book them out
ep is kinda key because it like triples smite damage :p
Smite is dogshit
The run would have been faster and more efficient with trauma
You have to ass guard the smiter so hard or they just get deleted
Complete waste of everyone’s time
killing the stuff that doesn't die in a few seconds to smite lol
smite is also good at getting the last tic of damage too
The enemies are swiggity swooty coming for that booty
see
all hail palpatine psyker
smite + surge staff
i tabled the damage here
horde smite, you vaporize the horde in like seconds with EP smite and whatever warp damage boosts you have
then surge staff deletes super fast what's left
ok yeah 2s base for a groaner with EP i have everything I need :v
ok well thats enough inferno for the next few months
although i do agree smite is also useful as kind of a flex pick when you don't want to really focus on your blitz and instead want just a quick CC ability to zap off when needed because your staff is more important
fr
but also if you're holding smite for like 12 seconds as smyker you're probably doing something wrong
Useless
Genuinely truly useless
ep smite gamers are so rare
maybe most just find that boring
It spreads everything out making efficient dps from every other class harder, it lowers CDR for other classes that get it from crits/backshots and it does nothing to deal with the genuine run ruining threats of havoc
Nobody is losing to a horde
me losing to 6 sedition groaners boss battle
Blessed sedition gamer 🙇♀️
idek which diff sedition is btw
I did some sedition skull runs the other day, very chill
me but with ladders
Ok ladders are genuinely the actual game boss
i miss life before havoc
I like smite i just never use it on most of the builds I had it on aside from ressing and shit
Eh, I'm enjoying not having to listen to the 'game is not difficult enough' people anymore
So I replace with flayer
What is wrong with ladders now?
I love it tbh
ladders are one of the ways to yeet yourself into the void without being able to grab on
They're still there they're just drowned out by force greatsword excitement and come back people asking what to run
mostly it
Good 🗿
I’ve seen some people for whom h40 genuinely isn’t hard enough and they can hard clutch it
Can't say that ever happened to me, do people use ladders to get down?
but can they hard solo it with 0% failure
Give it a couple months and yes
But without mods?
We don’t exactly argue with paradise. I think we agree there are faster ways to kill. But smite + shriek scales really well and is”safe”
Well that sounds like it'll be hard enough for a couple months 
Genuinely the level of play I’ve seen from some people in h40 is insane
Most are good enough to play with a team and maybe duo for a bit which is where I’m at
I mean there's always going to be some godlike player that can beat everything with just a toothpick
I just a have skill issue with ladders. Walking by or trying to fight things and suddenly I'm climbing.
Ladders are grabby little fecks.
But holy cow
I remember when somebody cleared Hades on that mode everyone thought impossible a while back
Some people just dance thru like nothing is there
64 Heat Hades
i think havoc is decent actually
I don't care what anyone says darktide is hard as hell
its like ok
Like i don't even enjoy sm2
Everyone knew it was possible, but the odds of pulling it off were just incredibly unlikely
Its legitimately not hard enough lol
i just wish havoc build variety was real
I think Havoc is cool as like... the start of something. I want it to be expanded on so that it encourages different metas depending on the modifiers. Some actual variety to play.
Who knew the Smurf fan service game would be trash??
Idk why they don’t just put anime girls into the smurfs and call it good
They’d make so much money
To be fair I returned it after a hour and a half
Peeps had seeded 64 heat runs to mitigate shitty RNG and succeeded, but doing an unseeded run, not getting fucked by RNG, and then also beating it, quite a feat
Well, theoretically possible is kinda different from actually accomplished 
It just wasn't a fun prospect so nobody really wanted to do it.
Yeah I don't like what it does to my psyker lol
Both staves that are good for it are my least favorite ways in general to play psyker
I mean, fair.
You could crush all the way to the last biome and the game would feed you a loss by putting the satyr sack in the third+ dungeon
And the only reason it got done was because Haelian put out a video explaining why it was unlikely to ever happen, and that person pulled it off in less than a week by pure chance and also skill. But mostly chance.
man said 'bet'
Like she mentioned her hands shaking repeatedly at how lucky she got and how seeing the satyr sack in the second dungeon felt like learning your cancer was in remission
person who did it disrupted destiny
Maybe the destiny disrupted was the difficulty we made along the way

They need to make the shooter modifier random too
Yes, make a melee modifier to replace it
500% melee speed from enemies

give crushers skateboards
Crushers that rush at you like our ogryn charge would be horrifying
Too armored for that
That's what makes it horrifying
I've been greatly enjoying actually being rewarded for targeting small weakspots in helldivers
Shooting a charger up the pooter or a bile titan in the face and so on for a oneshot is very satisfying
In darktide i just have my uncanny up and poke poke poke
Don't ask for more, it'll take 10 months to get released and be terribly implemented when it does get released 😭
fatshark's next major update is gonna be 30 pages explaining why they're nerfing shredder autopistol again
I'm okay with this, if that's what it takes to fix the crashes
It's shooting too fast so it's semi auto now
they're removing shredder autopistol's ability to do dmg but it shreds armor off
how does empyric resolve work exactly?
The funny peril reduction.
-30% toughness replenished are we talking toughness coherency regen, toughness from kills, all sources of toughness replenishment?
Its multiplicative
x0.7 to all toughness gained from melee kills & talents
Coherency regen unaffected
so its dogshit?
Pretty sure blessings that provide toughness also aren’t affected
x0.6 peril generation
It is high risk high reward
personally i think its shit but
Don’t get touched, boom forever
mine is not the popular opinion
so if your feeling spicy then take it
wont help my melee build so its not real
Do you think psykers shit themselves when they reach 100% peril
they do, after their heads explode
Me reaching 100% peril several times a mission just so the others have to deal with the smell on the Valkyrie ride back home
New enemies ideas is the traitor versions of us that buffs enemies
They’ll be based off of what your current gear is and ability’s are
Knife zealot shroudfield
Smyker

If you aren’t “good” then it is a nerf to you most likely. But you will see it constantly in our builds because we know how to negate the nerf to the best of our abilities
By good. I mean not getting hit. Soooo, all the knowledge and skill it takes for that to happen
or you can just be so squishy that it doesn't matter how much toughness you have, taking two hits is death - then there's no downside to the node
I played EK without it for the first time yesterday and I was constantly almost blowing up, because I was so used to the lower peril generation 
Meanwhile I felt not tankier
If you don’t use it you have to use tranq to kinda balance it out. Meaning you have lost a point from the old builds before tree rework
I would rather take no peril reduction than taking tranquility, it's not consistent so I can't get used to how much peril I generate. I don't like it 
Did you start to explode right as the dog jumped you? 
Well at least it’d be an easy kill
all talents, does not affect coherency regen and weapon blessings that provide toughness
The opposite, it's really good and really strong
Real
rare smyker enemy that does 1 toughness dmg to players a second
The reason ER is strong is because it reduces the amount of time you spend quelling by a lot, whereas the defense malus hurts but you can get around it by... not taking damage. Like, generally on higher difficulties you either have enough time to regenerate toughness to full regardless of ER or you're kind of screwed anyway. If you get hit multiple times at a point where ER would matter, you're generally going to die anyway at Auric/Havoc.
'easy kill'
gets stunlocked through a wall
You only die because you played bad, and not taking ER doesn't help with that 
True 
coherency regen is bad generally
because you lose it as soon as anything is 1 inch in melee range, which is much further than you'd expect
multiple meters
unless they fixed it very recently
It's the melee slot system, which is a lot more finicky than simple range
and generally you can empty your slots by just dodging a couple times
which is very easy to do
sooooooo
What the hell is the melee slot system
free regen from a couple dodges? Sounds like something Zealots would like
Uuuuuhhhhhh there's a dev blog explaining it
SO
yeah but if you're using melee you're just continually in melee range
Maybe I can do one before the fireworks start
(I won't be doing that)
Hello Rejects! My name is Daniel, and I’m a Programmer and Designer at Fatshark. This blog covers parts of our journey in creating enemies for Darktide. Over the years, I’ve gathered many clips and screenshots and wanted to share some of the early development stages and explain our thought processes. Keep in mind that many of these clips and scr...
I think it's this one?
i think only a few guys can actually hit you at any given time
so you dont just get eated by 500 attacks
My brother went up on a hill to film the city during it, much better view than looking out the window
so if you stand in some specific spots only 1 guy can hit you lol
You can only have so many enemies within your area
customers tried to walk in as we were closing
"Sorry, we're locking up early tonight for New Years."
"Oh? What time do you close?"
"5:30."
"And what time is it now?"
" ... 5:30."
not sure what they were expecting
German hill?
So if I surround myself with poxwalkers, I'm immune to crushers 
Ja

Mein handy
Invite me 
three reasons really
true but untrue
Again, it's fairly easy to empty your slots
This guy, asks and then just starts a mission right away 
idk wouldnt the other spots just be blocked around you
god i wish i was continually in melee range
- enemies will manouver around you realistically
- enemies wont superstack themselves in one area and throw ten attacks in a single instance
- gives them another vector to increase/decrease difficulty
But riddle me this batman, wouldn't your slots just fill back up and you'll get very little regen?
We should block him.
im sure theres a grace period
they do and there is not really
Not if you stack toughness regen
which is the point
like in that video the first part is w/o a slot system, they all beeline straight at Saltzpyre and smash his shit in
Yeah, we can block him from HM Twins when we do that 
xd
Seems like getting regen from the tree is still better after all of those hoops
That will show him
and the second part, is harder to follow since it's fast
but if you wanna slow it down to do a play by play
you can see the slots change colours as they are occupied and picked
I mean, it requires 0 talent points to do that sooooooooo
its multiple slots on curios?
Yes, but you don't really have great options on curios anyway
no +20% damage curio substat
😭
still have much better than flat toughness regen
LOL
I guess, but its still little things that can help, and psyker for example gets most of its regen from quell which it does constantly anyway
Eeeehhhhh
are we like
I mean Psyker gets tons of regen
In general
Just talking about conherency regen in general
at havocs, maybe? but probably still shit
No, it's fine
Id rather have more toughness
It's not terrible, it's not the best thing ever either
the only saving grace is that your base toughness is so comically low that getting 5 flat toughness regen from coherency is actually kinda big
ya
in havoc its decent because you're constantly holding hands, but in qp people really don't stay together a lot of times
i'm glad someone agrees with me that curio perks are shit
Yes
they are mostly shit
yeah but randoms scatter like rats a lot of times
When cool curio perks?
besides like stam regen and cdr
or they just go down then you have to clutch anyway 
yeh psyker doesn't really need it unless you sprint and pushblock a fuckload
what else ya gonna put lol
SMITE IS GOOD
bait used to be believable
toughness, health, toughness regen, CDR
And I’m tired of pretending it’s not
Noob
probably some others I'm forgetting
I love stam regen
just us cdr
nobody sane says it's bad
use(
Psyker with the 7 morbillion base stamina regen 
and +curio

Most people don't say its bad, most people say the truth which is that it takes no skill and is lazy and boring

I legitimately got said so the first time I asked for advice on this channel
Literally never used anything else
Goated ability
tfw you cant clear a single group of groaners
Well your team should be
Mmmmmmmm, I think you either got unlucky with whoever decides to give you advice, or you're mistaken and they said it was 'bad' in a meta sense
Cc on an entire horde including specials, is clutch
^

smite is a novelty
70% of people who play this game and try psyker all have the smite revelation. Then some percentage realize how dumb and boring it really is 
It's novel sometimes
smite is eep
Playing trauma and inferno gets old 😔
inferno got old in 1 match
and I don't dare go off meta because-
Everyone comes to psyker chat with the big discovery that smite is misunderstood. The reality is that its just incredibly boring to play with, boring for teammates too. Actively stops some people because you need to dodge to get profit for certain things.

based
Can't hear you
Safe in my bubble
Everything burning

@near wyvern I am curious and interested in what build you recommend for using Bolt Pistol and Force Greatsword on? Wanting to replace my outdated Battery Gunker from the outdated Atheneum build
Metachasing is the ruin of Gaming
I literally do not despite anyone less than a Metachaser
Then don't use smite

Smite is bad in a meta sense because it's overpowered and ridiculously easy to use 
Using smite alone ain’t metachasing
Eh, even alone it has stupid amounts of stagger
You're doing a lot with minimal effort
I just love to keep the enemy still while my team shreds it apart
smh always late
A Good load out is aiding your team to win
A bad “Meta”
Load out is just going for kills
A bad meta is one that ruins the enjoyment of the game
and smite does that for everyone who isn't smiting
and sometimes the smiter as well

I haven't properly tested the break points for bolt pistol since the talent tree changed so I can't make a recommendation for that yet
Oh hey happy new year
happy new year
"very bad" would be an improvement 🚬
Ok thank you, so far I been able to run SC + DD Gun Psyker with Recon Lasgun as the Force Greatsword works great with it on the S Tier blessings. I wish I could figure out break points better lol

i didnt see it 😭
i partied enough last year for 2 years
its enough
still wanna play or eep?
I had to play with a godlike psyker who killed everything, then he got netted, died and left
Now I have to watch over my dog because fireworks
oh god
If you're just straight up looking for a build, @plucky flax has a bistol FGS build with DD. No SG on it tho. Building peril fast with FGS special, shriek, and peril some more pretty fun.

It's quite the experience 
🥺
You were fast with the melee maelstrom upload today 
why can dogs hit me mid chastise???
I was on it. 🫡
wtf aren't you supposed to be in a dodge during that?
i thought so
It was right at the start, so probably the dog already counted as landing on you before you pressed the button 
Do dodges make you immune to dogs?
Maybe it's like when you're supposed to be invisible but sometimes things target you anyways. Like target, not just hit.

no worries
That works 
im too used to kill tracker combo on my screen
I use kill trackers but I move the pop up numbers tothe side to not be distracting.
Also cos I don't want to chase the number and play differently.
number go up 
HP go down.
I should set kill tracker up. I have installed but haven't "turned it on"


Kill tracker is the one that groups all the elite kills together as x 10 and such?
idk what that ones called (killfeed improvements?)
kill tracker literally shows you a funny combo number of how many you kill in a short time
with effects on higher kill counts
This isn't DMC you know

@plucky flax thank you!

They should make melee scab only with havoc hp

Fun big sword time
melee scab only but its actually melee only
melee scab only is dumb and a lie
if it's melee scab only why are there 500 snipers, bombers, trappers, and flamers
is 500 code for 5?

they mostly glitch out and spawn a gunner or two when someone dies and revives
In fact I bet I can go to my last melee only mael and find it has a minimum of 50 specials
not a chance
not all are snipers
also scab melee says "waves of specialists"
yes but it could be melee specialists
"mostly scab" not entirely scab
That is indeed why it says mostly
and it's dumb

Give me the true melee only experience
chat replace this guys warm coco with ice tea
Happy new year all!
happy new year
I have neither 😭
My nap has been disturbed by 100000 fireworks

happy new year
I deserve only the finest, so it's true because I have apple cider 
The melee only runs we were doing earlier were very fun
I'd give them another go

@strong gulch @radiant frigate summoning
I can in like 15 minutes. 
@upper sun Are you around then? We'll need a 4th
I'll take a look. I bet they were. 
its getting late 😭
Ya. They make you immune to mutant grabs and trapper nets too
No they don't

It will only take 2h :(
sorry 😭
I’ll be on in an hour 🤷♀️
User issue 😭
The first time I heard it could dodge trapper nets
Depends on what you define as most effective. I try to list all the different meta things for different roles in the Atheneum, so I consider the meta as a whole.
@hearty wolf I can get in game now. Y'all still building a group?
Kk
true survivor on gloriana? 
ye
you sure picked the worst map to do it
best map 
(i'm scared actually)
Sure
jk jk sending good thoughts
absolute mad lads, may Big E walk with you and shield you from danger
I despise gloriana on Havoc, it's bad enough on auric
specially the synchronisters part
For sure, that is definitely a tough part
But we have pretty good synergy so those rooms don't tend to be too bad
o lawd, I get to run smite
getting TS on groliana should be a special achievement on it's own. I got my TS on probably the easiest map imaginable, the archivum
@patent mango @plucky flax either of you two for gloriana 40 ts?
@marble crater ?
@broken carbon
@strong gulch HUH i just found out you get an effect if the DH is targetting you
ok
lol
If we fail, I'll lyk
gaming
not home rn sorry
real unsanctioned soykers play impaired
I mean I consider completely stopping the whole enemy force to let my Allies shred them apart stronger than popping heads with lightning
smite is best when being done precisely
and best when you run into oh shit moments and you do hold it for a while
if you're constantly in oh shit mode
well
its you
often times its actually slower because instead of enemies funneling into your sword you have to go to them so they end up more spread apart
I've noticed smiters in my lowly bracket have upgraded from holding smite as often as possible to spam knocking everything over as often as possible lol
lol why is this game like this
Bigger range weaker effect trauma staff.
I'm honestly looking forward to seeing it used "correctly". Then I'll know.... I've made it to the big leagues
More like knocking I prefer stunning them still
you’ll still meet smitkers with no idea what they’re doing in auric damn
thats the thing
good smikers, youre not gonna notice it
theyll just quickly trip up a trapper or flamer or maybe stagger a couple ragers here and there
you should be pleasantly surprised when a long smite comes out
because you too wanted it
Till dook goes down hard and it's actually needed and is missed when you realise you don't have one situations.
it's kinda like a finger in the butt
exactly
good smykers are exactly like a finger in the butt
my poor fucken brain
i keep swapping between an EP Assail, a Warp Unbound, and a non-Warp Unbound build
all different rules for when i can toss at 100% (or not)
i cant keep up lmao
Just go boom randomly, is funni (When you aren't the psyker.).
Guessing some sloptuber made a video about it
Smite with EP does actual damage
smite ep w/ vent 
I wouldn't take it into havoc 40 but it's fun and easy to use
i actually much prefer scriers smite
just cause warp unbound means you can pretty much guarantee youll hold the smite down exactly how long you need to no matter what your perils is at when you need it
I don't get it that smite gets so much hate yet something like gunlugger ogryn is spoken with such reverence
glugger isnt exactly revered, and the difference is that hes still doing his own work lol
Cause smite is bipolar if it’s on your team
At least a glugger will consistently kill what he’s aiming at
hes not shooting into the air suppressing enemies with no or low damage and calling himself a support
I have never witnessed gunlugger spoken in a bad light
You havent been to zeal chat
It's pure fucking dogshit
Especially during the great fire bullet ripper era
Glugger is talked down about cause it got nerfed but it still does the same consistent thing
its also expensive, so you cant really do it all game
It's functional in aurics like a plasma vet is functional in 40 havoc in that the entire team let's him take ammo
so uhh
nothing stops a meme smyker from just back-to-back-to-back smyking for 20+ seconds over and over
Smite you can have a teammate that has a near infinite pause button or someone who just deletes the entire game in 8 seconds (with auric damn) and both suck to play with
Cause there isn’t really a cost to use smite
Yes and thats the issue
So it's too good or too bad?
Cause if it’s built properly it scales amazing with enemy difficulty
Yes
You dont know if you will have a smyker who holds down 3 poxwalkers and on monstros
Or you will have one that is actually good, knows when to swap, and will melt the entire game
And both make the game extremely boring (from an auric damn/auric maelstrom perspective)
You can’t tell when the smyker is about to cancel their stun, melee enemies can be stunned far away from the actual melee, who will have to move out of position to hit the enemies they have to hope you keep stunning or else they will get surrounded
Mutants outside of mutant wave maelstrom is a big one to, they take like double or 3x melee damage let them charge in
I am a shit psyker. The only build I can comfortably take into aurics is smite ep vent psyker
Maybe greatsword scriers gaze on a good day
its very anemic gameplay
even the discussion about its damage to me is sort of a red herring because the damage is irrelevant
Lol
when you have the capacity to completely lock down everything indefinitely
whether you are doing 1 or 1000 damage a second
doesnt matter
all of that shit is already out of the fight
youve already won
Sucks when you get surrounded out of position
And if it's so OP why is it so rare in high havoc
cause its boring as shit
nobody for a second has thought "certainly this is a gamemode on which smite cannot be useful". it was already a foregone conclusion when Nurgle Blessing (stagger immune enemies) wasnt even a modifier
Honestly. Most people don’t know how to use it. It also is slower to kill than regular good gameplay with other things. Plus, the stigma
Lol and stacking bubble, chorus, VOC, purg, 4 dueling swords isn't boring
and yea, the stigma
oh thats boring too
but like, youre participating much more
on a relative scale
Havoc is it’s own thing
Yea basically
Wouldn't a discussion about meta, by default be about havoc 40
Due to its very existence
I tried to explain it on reddit and someone just went “well it can’t be too much or too little cause that doesn’t make sense”
yes and no
Like maelstrom isn't meta anymore its just a "fun" game mode
Auric damn/ normal damn should be the gold and silver standard
Havoc is, well too limiting
There is still a meta in aurics
It’s meta is very small and not much to talk about
most peeps are hardstuck at about 25-30 havoc
and thats nothing to feel slighted about tbh
thats above auric
but also thats wrong of me to say, because most peeps dont even play auric
Yea after installing true level it appears to ke the vast majority don't touch aurics
Yea but the malice and heresy meta is “don’t be dumber than a rock, even shredder is viable”
So what is the baseline when discussing anything? Regular damnation? Auric?
auric is probably the mental default for most peeps on the discord
that looks fun
is it ful
ye D:
i c
now its not
lol howya gonna compare smiteker to glugger
yeah already full D:
Dude, I hadn't realized how much of a punch the illisi could pack into mixed hordes
Those warp swings are nuts, and the toughness gen is insane
Havoc is temporarily disabled
disbaled
it must be lol
i can't get into the party finder for it and i been playing auric mael all night
premades are working and we got a +1 from the party finder
it is
Do you peeps run wildfire on fire trauma? Lot of decent perks one could take instead 🤔
Ye wildfire with fire trauma
Cool ty
Havoc works with pubs. Did one earlier today.
Should I put maniac and unyielding on my FGS if I mostly use it for mutants and bosses? Everything else gets trauma staffed lol
If the only thing you use it for is mutants and bosses, sure lol
Yeah pretty much lol, and dogs
Check in psykanium if you need maniac on fgs
the stab should one shot mutants without maniac
I routinely one shot them with it no maniac
yeah
hit e to clear tags
Maybe flak and unyielding then 🤔 I do often body shot them though when things get hectic
omfg
enjoy
cruising to an easy win in a 30 when wife rushes in, throws baby in my arms and declares she is havin a poop attack
i then spend the next ten minutes trying to juggle the baby while still carrying with the headphones off
fucked up a dodge against an enemy i cant hear in the end event then shit goes south
wife turns up right as the loss screen shows up 😢
my gamer window was stolen by poop!
(for reference i do not poop during my time with the baby 😢
Is lingering Influence bugged at the moment ?
i have it but the Disrupt Fate still seems to last like 4s
Ui bug. Too many buffs and the icons drop off.
