Yea

marble crater

#

Im Chinese I get to decide how math works

blissful solar
#

based...

autumn lark
#

hueheihau i see ancient dragon fly in sky breave fire

deft stump
#

I hate Maths. Can I pull out a frag?

deft stump
#

Make Maths go boom yes.

autumn lark
#

monkey see monkey do

#

(crashing out)

buoyant maple
#

They’re 2 brackets that multiply with each other

#

If the toughness bonus has a % on it, it’s in the curio modifier bracket

#

If it doesn’t have % on it, it goes into base toughness bracket

deft stump
#

You need a + between them?

#

Or ×.

nocturne dust
deft stump
#

I dunno, Math makes hed hurt.

nocturne dust
#

This filthy non-nerd doesn't know two adjacent brackets implies multiplication

deft stump
#

Things go boom when hed hurty.

buoyant maple
#

This is like grade 3 maths

nocturne dust
#

It is very basic math, yeah

deft stump
#

I hated Maths though, barring tessellation.

nocturne dust
#

(a)(b) === a × b

deft stump
#

Not sure why it's in Maths but...

nocturne dust
#

Boi are you gonna be mad when you learn about geometry

deft stump
#

Only reason I know radius and diameter is cos... uhhhhh... THINGS.

prime elk

#

The most complicated maths gets in DT is for chance based talents

#

Where u get to use probability analysis

nocturne dust
deft stump
silver mantle
buoyant maple
#

The most complicated maths in this game I think are ogryn’s BLO, headhunter blessing and psyker’s true aim

#

And maybe twinned blast + demo team in an estimation

nocturne dust
#

but true aim is just deducting probabilities

silver mantle
deft stump
nocturne dust
#

y no calculus

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
#

where the kark are my derivatives

buoyant maple
#

It mixes up a little bit

#

BLO is 2 sets of probability

deft stump
#

Why Math in psyker mains. I thought that's Vet mains thing...

nocturne dust
#

🤓

deft stump
#

Where Oggy nuke.

buoyant maple
#

Some talents get overlooked because of chance

nocturne dust
#

excuse me

#

I literally mathed the dps of FGS mks for giggles

#

Wat u mean, "vet's thing", we are the big brain bois

dark swift
#

Are warp charges bugged rn? I don't get any charges when I kill an elite or special??

deft stump
nocturne dust
patent mango
#

it should still be there just invis

nocturne dust
#

only fun numbers here chadgryn

buoyant maple
#

Then yall overlooked it

deft stump
#

BOOM.

nocturne dust
#

Boss damage is where it is at

clear heath
nocturne dust
#

I did the testing with a full build

#

and mk8 still lost

nocturne dust
# buoyant maple I did, for crusher

also, also, it was kinda unfair because mk6 can easily hit the 3-hit BP (2 overheads, 1 stab) with very minor buffs and that should drastically improve its crusher DPS

#

but that's the complex part of psyker KEKW_ogryn

buoyant maple
clear heath
# buoyant maple Then yall overlooked it

I mean I did say it wouldn't apply to my usecase.
I have different buffs, and breakpoint tests don't matter much to me. Testing dps on things with breakpoints is inherently gonna be different because of wasted damage on overkill
But in real gameplay, i'm a filthy cheater with healthbars mod so i'll be aiming my stabs on things with higher hp, and not wasting the damage

prime elk
analog agate
#

Mk8 is more for horde

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

I still stand by the fact that i don't think the differences in dps actually matter

#

it's such a small difference

nocturne dust
#

Generally, they don't, yeah

analog agate
#

It doesn’t. It all stemmed from some zealot players jerking it over a buffed push attack stab that could quickly destroy a crusher

clear heath
#

zealot players like their big attacks on long delays
thunder hammer thrust enjoyers

nocturne dust
#

The giggles I did it for were spite giggles chadgryn

buoyant maple
#

It’s statistically more likely for me to roll twinned blast twice in a row than for mk6 / mk8 to have meaningful dps differences in havoc

analog agate
#

I think in game they are really really close

nocturne dust
#

They're decently close. The DPS is about 200 difference iirc?

#

and you can easily waste that much so 🤷‍♂️

fickle flint
#

is there only 3 personality voice types or is there a hidden one?

clear heath
#

I think if you naturally push attack -> heavy when you play, mk8 will be better
and mk6 if you don't

buoyant maple
clear heath
#

but i push attack like 10 times per game so that doesn't really support my playstyle

stark crown
nocturne dust
#

I don't push attack chadgryn

buoyant maple
stark crown
#

Insane if you aren’t PAing with FGS

nocturne dust
#

No need when Bulwarks expose themselves chadgryn

buoyant maple
#

I would know because that’s what my character sounds like

autumn lark
#

also push attack oneshot

clear heath
#

push attack is a good tool to have
I just don't do it constantly

buoyant maple
#

Psyker’s kit is just busted

autumn lark
#

psyker's weakness is being a wet tissue

#

actual glas cannon class

analog agate
#

The corner shooter hiding in the dark is my worst enemy

nocturne dust
#

If you say stuff like that

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
#

you'll call in the try hards that never ever take damage claiming Psyker is the easiest class

buoyant maple
#

Not cannon anymore

nocturne dust
#

No, it's a cannon

#

big boom of fire

clear heath
#

glass nuke

nocturne dust
#

Railgun would be voidstrike meta

buoyant maple
#

Any more buffs and psyker becomes glass deathstrike missile

prime elk
#

Not even glass

#

It's bulletproof glass now

deft stump
#

Voidstrike buff when?

nocturne dust
stark crown
#

I mean I’ll be honest if you even got a semblance of skill and you’re using EE you’ll barely ever take damage outside of scenarios where the game is literally stacking everything against you

#

It’s so weird how lopsided Psyker survivability is

nocturne dust
stark crown
#

You either

#

Never take damage

#

Or get obliterated

#

No where in between

buoyant maple
#

Down in 2 hits

stark crown
buoyant maple
#

Or 1, if u get shot by a shotgunner in havoc

clear heath
#

being invulnerable until you die instantly is a big part of the class's identity at this point

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
stark crown
stark crown
#

You don’t have a safety net talent like the other 3

#

So you just either a

#

Never die or B instantly die

#

Lmao

buoyant maple
nocturne dust

#

Dome is pretty nice

analog agate
#

Even bubble you can’t insta cast because of their weird stun

stark crown
#

Okay true

#

But I run walls cause they’re funnier

nocturne dust

#

U can unfuck most situations with dome

We don't speak of Oggie

ornate hamlet
#

HEY

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
#

hi

ornate hamlet
#

Oggies fine

nocturne dust
#

🤮

#

Spoken like an Oggie main KEKW_ogryn

buoyant maple
patent mango
#

ogryn mains enjoying their 1 havoc viable build

nocturne dust
ornate hamlet
#

Is ogryn really that bad? I haven't done havoc yet

nocturne dust
#

I mean

jovial juniper
#

More like

patent mango
#

yea

nocturne dust
#

you can do anything

#

with anything

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
#

but yes

#

Oggie bad

patent mango
#

ogryn talent tree is very boring and more htan half the weps suck

jovial juniper
#

Not a lot of build variety

patent mango
#

plus bugs

buoyant maple
#

It’s up more often than most people give credit

nocturne dust
jovial juniper
#

But bad bad not really

ornate hamlet
buoyant maple
#

People have very strong biases towards ogryn but he does have a lot of good talents that usually aren’t hard to grab

jovial juniper
#

But like
Shield doesn't really care about Havoc modifiers so

buoyant maple
#

Ogryn’s problems are with his weapons

#

Grand total of 2 good melee

nocturne dust
#

Shame Oggie will never get another build

#

Actually

#

maybe they'll nerf shield to 'bring it in line with the other stuff'

autumn lark
nocturne dust
buoyant maple
#

Veteran is not much better, sitting at 4.5 good melee weapons

jovial juniper
#

More mass? Don't care
Stagger resistance? Don't care
Shooters? Don't care
Shield them all

patent mango
buoyant maple
clear heath
#

pickaxe shield are all 2 of my ogryn builds

autumn lark
#

ok now imagine this

buoyant maple
#

It’s very funny when psyker has more good melee weapons than veteran does

autumn lark
#

vet with a power dagger and buckler

patent mango
#

tbh idk if there more bugs

jovial juniper
#

Then you get a havoc Boss and your shield becomes sluggish

patent mango
#

but the mantle one is soooo bad i've heard people say they odnt play ogryn specifically because of it

jovial juniper
#

So bring a can opener ripper or something

stark crown
ornate hamlet
#

Huh

nocturne dust
patent mango
#

veteran is at an incredible 0 melee weapons i want to use

stark crown
#

Trust me I want another melee option but holy fuck veteran will be cursed with 4 choices

autumn lark
#

most logical choice is either longlas or melta

buoyant maple
ornate hamlet
#

Not even the shovel?

buoyant maple
#

5>4.5

autumn lark
#

power fist is extremely wanted but not on the insignia list

#

however pickaxe wasnt either

patent mango
#

fs fgs and ds

nocturne dust
#

Illisi is just worse FGS

buoyant maple
nocturne dust
#

and I have always maintained Illisi is overrated

buoyant maple
#

Deimos and illisi are completely different for example

patent mango
#

illisi needs like 1 or 2 different attacks

buoyant maple
#

Whereas vet is 4.5 at best

patent mango
#

1 overhead at least

nocturne dust
#

Deimos -> DS

jovial juniper
# ornate hamlet Not even the shovel?

The foldable shovel got "nerfed" because they nerfed Brutal Momentum vs Ogryns
So you can't kill 4 Ogryns at once with your shovel
Still would say top 3

nocturne dust
#

Illisi -> FGS

#

Obscurus is obscurus

buoyant maple
#

I’m leaning more towards the 4 end because heavy sword is just 1 extra blessing away from being really good

patent mango
#

heavy sword is so slow on psyker guh

buoyant maple
autumn lark
#

i want a complete blessing overhaul

nocturne dust
buoyant maple
#

It’s the best scaling force sword into havoc for sure

autumn lark
#

reshuffle blessings and remove some to make way for more interresting ones

#

like perfect strike decimator relic blade

jovial juniper
#

DevaStrike pogryn

stark crown
#

Like they made it genuinely viable

nocturne dust
#

Never said it wasn't viable

#

It's just... 🤷‍♂️

patent mango
#

its wonky

nocturne dust
#

It's a weapon

#

It exists

stark crown
#

I’ve witnessed it delete a crusher in under 2 seconds

#

My stance on the Obscurus is it’s a on par with the other 2

nocturne dust
#

You can oneshot a crusher with Illisi

#

Like, buffs are buffs

buoyant maple
#

It’s not as good as Deimos into havoc

#

Deimos can afford to run deflector to be funny

nocturne dust
#

Obscurus definitely can't delete crushers without some buffs

buoyant maple
#

Obscurus without slaughterer feels bland

ocean totem
#

Slow mode on zealot

#

It’s so over

strong gulch
stark crown
#

I honestly should make an Obscurus Melee Psyker I’ve been playing too much FGS

buoyant maple
#

And u kind of don’t get to use sword for melee horde clear like half the time

Not saying u can’t, it’s just kinda not worth

nocturne dust
stark crown
#

Counterpoint

#

That’s boring as fuck

nocturne dust
#

Wow, didn't know you were a heretic

#

Guess I have to cut you in half with BIG SWORD now

strong gulch
#

I still need to get gud with FGS.

#

Also still haven't played it a lot.

haughty star
#

I still can't like fgs6 more than 8

#

6 just so slow feeling

nocturne dust
#

I mean

#

go play caxe

#

then move to 6

#

then it'll feel fast

buoyant maple
#

I’m actually curious what’s the highest general dps melee for psyker

#

Don’t tell me it’s a Rashad with scrier’s gaze

#

Cuz that’ll be too funny

nocturne dust
#

I mean, probably FGS, no?

patent mango
#

i really really doubt that lmao

haughty star
#

Yeah i don't think it's fgs by any means

patent mango
#

should be fgs

clear heath
#

Do we count fgs hitting infinite targets with the special?

haughty star
#

Unless counting special

clear heath
#

Cause infinity dps is quite high

nocturne dust
#

most of psyker's really powerful melees are single-target

#

a general melee is between... wat, FGS annnnnnddddd.... a bleed knife or slaughterer Deimos?

wind spruce
#

Bleed knife bad

buoyant maple
#

What’s like the best performing one across all these on avg

#

It doesn’t have to be #1 in everything

nocturne dust
#

They just need to change Warp Slice so that it is a passive charge thing instead of weird crit nonsense

#

Then FGS will be perfect uwugryn

buoyant maple
#

Could be #3 across everything

wind spruce
#

FGS comes close, I imagine

nocturne dust
buoyant maple
#

I hope one of the psyker mains get bored enough to test those

wind spruce
#

FGS will beat anything that beats it in the bottom 3 categories in the top 2

nocturne dust
#

Too much work Guarded

buoyant maple
#

It’ll be too funny if it’s just a Rashad in the end

nocturne dust
#

I highly doubt it's Rashad

#

Psyker doesn't have the BPs without buffs, in an arena setting Psyker won't have those buffs to start with

buoyant maple
#

On veteran Rashad is like 2-3 best across all of those pretty sure

nocturne dust
#

and FGS will get those buffs as well, theoretically

buoyant maple
#

Not sure abt psyker

clear heath
#

Yeah how many buffs are we allowing, and how much can the build be catereed to the situation?

buoyant maple
#

Random bullshit go

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

Like if we buff enough, pretty sure illisi and rashad can get it down to 2 swings against those 6 ragers

buoyant maple
#

But has to be same build across all 6 trials

wind spruce
deft stump
proper osprey
#

@buoyant maple im finally being converted to the mk6 knife

strong gulch
#

If you buff enough, illisi can one shot crushers. That's funny and unrealistic tho.

nocturne dust
#

but the BPs on the other stuff tho?

buoyant maple
#

Then u can say like

Let’s say, hypothetically, FGS wins overall, you can look at the best performing build and see what are the core talents that contribute towards it winning

wind spruce
clear heath
#

like would DD and slaughterer stacking pre-test be allowed?

nocturne dust
buoyant maple
#

But

#

If u feel like

#

U can do with & without prestack

stark crown
nocturne dust
#

I don't feel like it KEKW_ogryn

strong gulch
#

How would assail be weighed in this since that is almost always the pick with melee SG DD builds?

buoyant maple
#

I prob would write DD prestack off tho, seems like too much effort to control

clear heath
#

I think rashad would probably win half of those tbh

patent mango
#

i think my most melee dmg was 900k?

buoyant maple
patent mango
#

pure melee dmg

nocturne dust
#

pure, raw, unfettered meleeker

patent mango
#

warp slice seems to do like

wind spruce
patent mango
#

25% ish of total?

strong gulch
buoyant maple
patent mango
#

i mean warp slash

#

not the blesing

buoyant maple
#

I’m rly curious

strong gulch
#

Then no DD and other buffs?

buoyant maple
#

Build anything as long as it’s the same build across all 6 trials, and it’s melee only

nocturne dust
#

I feel like the danger in such testing is you could do weird builds with charged strike

nocturne dust
#

or other nodes that are normally never-picks

buoyant maple
#

Let’s see how much it’s actually gonna do

nocturne dust
#

ew

strong gulch
#

I just woke up, so brain not braining.

clear heath
nocturne dust
#

Idk who you can get to do this testing, cuz it ain't me KEKW_ogryn

buoyant maple
#

U never know until u test

autumn lark
#

i always ran twinned blast

nocturne dust
clear heath
#

yeah i'm not testing all that

nocturne dust
#

and sometimes, the chance of the guess being wrong isn't worth the effort

deft stump
nocturne dust
clear heath
#

I would assume that fastest plague ogryn fight would be either fgs or ds4

wind spruce
clear heath
#

idk, are we allowing gambling on crit rng?

clear heath
#

oh maybe knife

stark crown
#

Uncanny Bleed Blessing Knife just deleting any fucking boss

#

Don’t forget that

clear heath
#

idk maybe you can get enough buffs and gamble on crit rng to one shot 4 ragers at once with rashad

#

no idea if it can reach that

nocturne dust
#

otherwise you get to reset until every hit is a crit KEKW_ogryn

buoyant maple
#

Yea just avg

clear heath
#

damn no gambling for rashad crits

buoyant maple
#

I think for psyker Rashad will pull significantly ahead in everything besides crusher and boss

#

Where it might lose to others

clear heath
#

although, you're crit chance would be high anyways cause of scriers

buoyant maple
#

Well, def losing to duelling sword for crushers

lone wing
#

everything loses to ds4

deft stump
stark crown
#

Are we actually getting into a theoretical discussion of Rashad Psyker

upper sun
#

@blissful solar damn the part with the reapers was fire

lone wing
blissful solar
buoyant maple
stark crown
#

Cause I feel like

lone wing
#

horde clear isn't really that big an issue unless there's armor in there

upper sun
#

lemme clip it

stark crown
#

It’s possible

clear heath
#

take ds2 to not get absolutely dumpstered on the horde tests

stark crown
#

If you dump into like mettle, DD, Warp Speed SG

upper sun
#

NOOOO audio didnt work

stark crown
#

To make up for your lack of defense

lone wing
#

forego any direct anti armor for style points

stark crown
#

You know what fuck it cause I actually want to experiment

#

I’ll try that out later

deft stump
lone wing
#

ds5 zealot is kind of fun

clear heath
#

also a weird issue
if we're doing melee only tests, it actually biases against non-warp weapons
Cause you can't get warp splitting to work

lone wing
#

the dodge distance on ds5 is insane

upper sun
#

or no i dont need to restart

stark crown
upper sun
#

yeah no audio on recordings for today

buoyant maple
upper sun
#

anyone else wanna join?

lone wing
upper sun
#

anything except havoc

lone wing
#

bet

buoyant maple
#

It would be so funny
If the actual best generalist turns out to be a kinetic flayer Rashad with scrier’s gaze

strong gulch
clear heath
#

I think illisi gets dumpstered if we don't allow 15 DD prestack

upper sun
#

sure

buoyant maple
stark crown
#

Ah

buoyant maple
#

No weapon swap

#

Just melee

stark crown
#

True unfettered Melee Psyker

#

Yeah I see nvm lmao

#

Gambling on that KF proc

buoyant maple
stark crown
#

I’d say you really have to dump into like

#

Mettle and Warp Speed

#

To make up for your lack of range so you can just rush everything down

vagrant onyx
#

Warp speed is hard to drop after using it for so long

patent mango
#

mettle and warp speed r just jolly in general

stark crown
#

DD if we REALLY want to fucking crazy with speed also

nocturne dust
#

their uptime is such that you'd have to really invest to keep them up tho

nocturne dust
stark crown
#

EP cause…. Fuck you that’s why

#

Lmao

nocturne dust
#

speed isn't actually that great tho considering the uptimes

vagrant onyx
#

Crack of bone makes keeping SG ramp up a snooze

stark crown
#

But yeah no seriously you should always run DD with melee

sudden shuttle
#

Got a question in general- i cant seem to find the variations of guns/Melee weapons anymore- did they remove variants or make them class specific?

stark crown

#

click weapon
then click marks

@stark crown
Any build (same across all trials)
Melee weapon only, no weapon swap

#

Crushers and Plogryn

lone wing
#

bruh @upper sun why you playing in eurpoean servers

stark crown
#

Might go very swimmingly

sudden shuttle
#

nevermind i found it

stark crown
#

Ragers not so much

dense flume
#

Should have inspect, mark and cosmetics

clear heath
#

I think fgs might actually win against 50 pox because of the special

buoyant maple
#

It could

lone wing
buoyant maple
#

Rashad has the downside of not having access to malefic momentum easily

stark crown
#

The FGS is just that fucking strong

buoyant maple
lone wing
#

and bulwarks

#

now that i think of it

clear heath
#

the problem with doing that for the other tests is there's not enough enemies to actually get the charge

#

but poxers it could do it

stark crown
#

Lmao

lone wing
#

yes

#

you need to know the set up for it though, most people just dont

#

or they trigger the special too early and explode because of the warp unbound buff not triggering until they're already exploding

Well it isn't

technically it's 11.5 including the 1.5 second grace period given by scrier's by default

Ohg

that grace period starts after warp unbound ends btw

worn heron
#

How many fully charged voidblasts would that be

So it’s even fucking longer

autumn lark

#

I'd still avoid using that first 1.5 though because that's where you can still rarely die before WU actually applied to your character.

lone wing

you have enough time to do a fgs special and throw 10 assail shards

Hello! Need an advice (still learning the game). Last game I apparently quite annoyed a Zealot, but he did care to elaborate. I think I played quite well (never went down) and did my job, didn't abuse healing, etc. Is there anything I'm missing regarding Zealot/Psyker interaction? Thanks for any advice!

Sorry, I was not clear. I cleared the horde which Zealot already started to engage. I mean do Zealots rely on some kind of thread or agro mechanic and I distrusted him In a way?

verbal thistle
#

yes

#

they do

blissful solar
autumn lark
#

Only trauma horde backline

verbal thistle
#

they need to dodge attacks for all of these

autumn lark
#

Its mega annoying if you cant get second wind to proc

verbal thistle
#

you get no dps and toughness if someone is stunning the horde

#

ie smite/trauma

stark crown
#

Vet has only 1 dodge talent iirc

#

Reciprocity

deft stump
#

It's massive crits though.

balmy comet
#

So what is the best practice / good team player approach to use?

stark crown
#

Basically the only two classes you’re actively “hurting” via enmasse crowd stun would be a melee focused Veteran or Zealot

blissful solar
#

idk if it's clear what the best thing to do is. i guess it'd be weird to just assume your teammate never ever needs help

stark crown
#

Just shit that can and will obviously quickly devolve into wipes

#

Hordes of pox walkers are like the lowest priority

deft stump
#

Unless it gets to LAG lvls of hordes.

#

Near impossible to dodge stuff.

young falcon
#

You can't really control assail though, they just kinda fly where they want till they break on armor

autumn lark
stark crown
#

Zealots job or even veterans to wipe out chunks of them to avoid that from happening in the first place

deft stump
autumn lark
#

You play on console?????????

deft stump
#

No.

#

But when i mean that, i mean a horde that can cripple a console into crashing.

blissful solar
#

it's mostly your cpu that gets bungled up when there are lots of enemies anyway

autumn lark
#

Light work

balmy comet
#

Ok, as I understand in this situation I need to prioritize range enemies, elites, etc and let Zealots to clear the horde unless it is getting out of control ?

young falcon
#

The only time my fps dipped hard was a walker horde with two dreg tox bombers. Awful.

weary idol
blissful solar
deft stump
#

In most cases, that should be it unless the horde is attacking you.

analog agate
#

There isn’t a clear cut way to answer you, really. Entirely depends on team composition and skill. While you can depend on many zealots in this discord to be good about stuff. You can’t just not take out hordes and big guys because they get mad they can’t proc stuff

deft stump
#

But it's all really situational.

analog agate
#

The only rule is if they are attacking a guy… don’t be a dick and knock him over

deft stump
#

Unless you see an overhead about to happen, then you choose to take the risk.

balmy comet
#

Ok, maybe I need to play Zealot to understand how it works. Thanks for all the advice!

deft stump
#

Do you knock over the crusher or hope they can dodge it or still have a dodge for it.

analog agate
#

I knock all crushers/bulwarks/maulers down. Always. I never care about zealot procs on them

#

Because those are stupid ice skates one shots

deft stump
#

I mean, the above is true, but it depends on the Zealot in that case. I wouldn't mind you blowing things up and around, but some might uhh... not be nice about it.

#

Even worse with the kill penances.

analog agate
#

Assail is so cool

#

I have 3 more havocs. And then am finally done with the grind

And can return to the fun aurics

vagrant onyx
# analog agate Mostly, yes

In the same vein does SG eventually end up just getting outscaled or is there still merit to pure DPS setup? I know ammo also becomes a huge issue so you cant just recon las gun the whole mission like auric or something

What is ep smite scrier?

#

Empowered Psionics the keystone

#

Smite the lighting ability

#

and Scriers Gaze the +damage active ability that increases your perils

#

I actually haven’t tried SG in high havoc so don’t know the answer. I assume that more depends on the individual. I think exploits has been doing high havoc melee SG play

That sounds fun af

Anyone here use that setup before?

I'm thinking of my ranged options

I have smite and shriek for cc and ds for heavies

vagrant onyx

What do you do against a gunner horde or sniper wave

#

You can take something that will round out that and be generalist or you can go purge staff/electro and lean in on horde clearing

velvet crescent
#

iiiii think i usually brainburst but with smite that's not happening

vagrant onyx
#

The best way to approach your load out is to make sure you have a plan for what you might run in to

#

Youve got clearing mobs and armor covered, so you can look for a ranged to deal with more distant threats

velvet crescent

Bowling ball staff might be the play

Voidpurge?

It was void something

velvet crescent
prime elk
#

soulblaze dots*

nocturne dust
#

Creeping Flames is what lets Vent become the strongest ability on Psyker

#

It is very good applying soulblaze to practically everything in a direction

#

6 stacks kill a lot of things

#

Like, Shriek is so good, the meta on every staff revolves around it with a soulblaze build.

muted grove
nocturne dust
#

That's why you have the soulblaze build.

#

PC gets really strong at higher levels, and because it applies to every enemy in an area, it only gets stronger the more enemies get thrown at you

#

and soulblaze damage scales exponentially

#

There is really no competition in terms of DPS output on high Havocs/Auric

#

plus you throw in Psykinetics on top, which also triggers off elites/specials just like PC, and you get a feedback loop off targeting elites/specials where you just continually stack stupid amounts of soulblaze on everything using vent and PC

#

this is why EK is the best at this kind of build, because it's an elite/special hunter

#

It's effectively doing what Inferno staff does, but it's staff-agnostic, goes through walls, and has a cap of 31 stacks rather than 15/16

#

Inferno wins out in high Havocs though, by virtue of the fact that enemies get so chonky that EK with PC can't stack as quickly as Inferno can.

muted grove
#

I just switched from pyro to smite , pyro does crazy damage I just didn’t have very good survivability because scrub

nocturne dust
#

I mean, you're not going to have very good survivability with psyker, period.

#

Surviving as psyker relies entirely on active means (stagger/suppresion/dealing damage/etc.)

#

I would say smite makes you more vulnerable

#

because you can't even turn while smiting, and you instantly lose the smite if anything taps you

prime elk
#

psyker doesn't have good base surv stats, but it has a shit ton of tools to make you survivable, so in reality, it's not that far off from other classes

nocturne dust
#

yes

#

ill likely swap off it when i know what im doing but for now it's a nice tool in case of a jackass guy with a gun

someone has suggestions for a build using the H.Laspistol? i have tried something and so far it feels clunky compared to normal gunpsyker builds

loud rain
#

so where do i look for a build?

like what talents i should take?

nocturne dust
#

Ask around here for the specific weapons you want to use or something like that

#

I mean, there's essentially two builds, but they can have lots of little minor alterations depending on the weapon

loud rain
#

o. thought it might be like zealot where its like 90% the exact same thing

#

blaze greatsword

nocturne dust
#

Only Zealot and Ogryn suffer like that KEKW_ogryn

loud rain

so is there a set thing i should do for blaze force greatsword?

dont tell me im throwing for liking this weapon

it's a good weapon, don't worry

you can replace reconlas with bistol if you want bleeding warp slice memes

The secondary is whatever you want really, you mainly use FGS and assail

I take vraks to ammo-dump bosses

i like reconlas to proc mettle on demand, and to burn out bulwarks

bulwarks have become a real fucking pain in the ass ever since they got the hp buff

There's also this variant for Havoc

imma mess around a bit and see what works for me. my zealot build has gotten me no complaints from people i have saved so imma just mess around till i got something that works

Flurry + Blazing is a popular option.

Is there a good place for current meta psyker builds? I only know gameslantern, but most builds have like.. fewer than 50 likes which makes me question how optimized they are.

#

Well, if you are doing a blazing build.

Either do nexus and blazing or rending and flurry

dull scroll
#

reason I ask is guy didn't have blaze and ran up 2mil in my game, which is why I'm giving another look at this staff

#

*some

analog agate
#

Yeah he probably had rending and flurry

strong gulch
#

Inside the circle is infinite cleave, PLUS the stagger on the outer ring. On a crit, EVERYTHING gets SB (soulblaze stacks).

analog agate
#

I just did 1.8 million on a flurry VB staff today

strong gulch
#

Rending flurry is strong, but not as strong as fire trauma/ voidblast.

analog agate
#

But I have also done that with blazing

strong gulch
#

ye

#

Pick your favorite flavor tbh.

analog agate
#

I still like blazing more. Unless my team realllly can’t deal with anything cause then I need to stagger like crazy

Flurry trauma with a blue stim is silly and fun.

I finally hit the 100 havocs. I can now just do one a week

I spammed so many malice level ones. I am just happy I don’t have to do the same maps. They need to add more to havoc

mk6c recon lasgun and the accatran heavy las pistol are my favs for gunker

laspistol is so boring

#

i run some weird variant that doesnt use gaze but with bolt pistol and one that works with the R.lasgun how is the HLaspistol is supposed to look?

inland ice
#

bro u need to be running sigmas gaze

#

sigmas gaze + property in egypt

verbal thistle
#

you dont

young cliff
#

i run the bolt build with vent, basically using it as aoe as i generate peril and then just sustain it high with warp slices, swaping bolt pistol to nuke specialists

#

but i have not found similar success with Laspistol

analog agate
#

Las pistol is dum dum/infernus and flak/unyielding in a SG and DD build

#

Melts bosess and can still take out specials and gunners

#

I use it on my fgs build

young cliff
#

so i just run it on the same build i run recon?

#

same with the infantry Agun Vraks?

analog agate
#

If it is your scriers build, then yeah

#

Maybe a node here or there may be different. But I don’t think so

half turtle
#

so i've been thinking of running kinetic deflection purely so i can have an easy way to build peril quickly for shout/toughness regen while 1v1ing chaos spawns

#

is this a bad idea

#

i'd probably be trading kinetic resonance or wildfire for it (on a blaze trauma build)

young cliff
#

I take that Gunpsyker don have a shield variant, right?

upbeat kestrel
#

yes

#

imo agrip infatry gun is better for gunker

thorn cedar
#

but yes your reasoning for it is ... fabulously ludicrous, i kinda love it

#

it does build peril while you block but against just one cspawn it would take quite a while to hit high enough peril for a worthwhile quell

half turtle
#

hmm well i never find myself out of stamina for blocking really

thorn cedar
#

you can block a lot. a loooot.

#

and yea psyker is like that

half turtle
#

mostly right now when i fight spawns i have to like randomly lmb-blast it a bunch to get peril back which sucks even with quell canceling

#

and is pretty slow and eats a ton of dodges for spacing

#

anyways i guess i might as well try it and see how it feels

thorn cedar
#

you only need to dodge his grab

half turtle
#

yeah

#

thankfully ds and knife both go like 30' per dodge so that part is easy at least

Is it worth running Scriers Gaze with Inferno staff? it seems to be a pain in the ass just getting to 30 stacks only to use it for like 5 seconds or so along with being at 100% Peril and getting the 20% buff from Warp Rider, its not a very sustainable amount of damage. MonkaHmm

vernal frost
#

not really tbh but you could run it to boost your melee

hardy coral
#

i tried it with my two handed, it basically takes 5 seconds just to swing the damned thing with Heavy swings.

shriek gives your soulblaze more value and bubble would be better as a high havoc option

yeah, i run Bubble/Inferno for Havocs. i just wanted to have a fun little Maelstrom build.

scriers doesn't really synergise with purgatus cause you don't really get a lot of value from stuff like warp unbound and spamming it
