hueheihau i see ancient dragon fly in sky breave fire
I hate Maths. Can I pull out a frag?
Make Maths go boom yes.
Basically there’re 2 brackets
Base toughness
Curio toughness multiplier
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

I dunno, Math makes hed hurt.
This filthy non-nerd doesn't know two adjacent brackets implies multiplication
Things go boom when hed hurty.
This is like grade 3 maths
It is very basic math, yeah
I hated Maths though, barring tessellation.
(a)(b) === a × b
Not sure why it's in Maths but...

Boi are you gonna be mad when you learn about geometry
I forgot formulas for years already btw.
Only reason I know radius and diameter is cos... uhhhhh... THINGS.
Is this some sort of heretical language?
The most complicated maths gets in DT is for chance based talents
Where u get to use probability analysis
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Look, it happens or it doesn't. Luck.
Foil method
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
but true aim is just deducting probabilities
What about the chances of bro doing the clutch?
It never happens when you need it, simple.
y no calculus
Not quite cuz u get 5 individual events of equal probability, then 6th is guarantee
where the kark are my derivatives
Why Math in psyker mains. I thought that's Vet mains thing...
uuuuhhhhh, yes, but then the value of true aim is also lowered by the regular crit chance
🤓
Where Oggy nuke.
Some talents get overlooked because of chance
wat
excuse me
I literally mathed the dps of FGS mks for giggles
Wat u mean, "vet's thing", we are the big brain bois
Are warp charges bugged rn? I don't get any charges when I kill an elite or special??
They do the boring numbers there.
correct
buff bar is stinky and no worky
it should still be there just invis
only fun numbers here 
I did, for crusher
Then yall overlooked it

That's easy, 2 ammo crate means Oggy gets 9 nukes.
BOOM.
crusher BPs are stinky
Boss damage is where it is at

Did you ever try again with the test fixed? Iirc you messed up and forgot to take off warp rider, which favoured mk8 cause push attack builds peril
It wasn't messed up, it was purposeful
I did the testing with a full build
and mk8 still lost

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 
Yea mk8 takes more to get there but it’s not hard to get them in combat usually
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
The more single target FGS had bit better single target dps? 🤯
Mk8 is more for horde
bit better when the mk8 was given more advantages, yes

I still stand by the fact that i don't think the differences in dps actually matter
it's such a small difference
Generally, they don't, yeah
It doesn’t. It all stemmed from some zealot players jerking it over a buffed push attack stab that could quickly destroy a crusher
zealot players like their big attacks on long delays
thunder hammer thrust enjoyers
The giggles I did it for were spite giggles 
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

I think in game they are really really close
They're decently close. The DPS is about 200 difference iirc?
and you can easily waste that much so 🤷♂️
is there only 3 personality voice types or is there a hidden one?
I think if you naturally push attack -> heavy when you play, mk8 will be better
and mk6 if you don't
I wish FGS had thrust
That’s a 4% chance btw
Rolling 2 twinned blast in a row

but i push attack like 10 times per game so that doesn't really support my playstyle
3 with small differences between genders if there’s an option
I don't push attack 
“Hidden one” is when u tag enemies so much your character stops talking for half the game
Insane if you aren’t PAing with FGS
No need when Bulwarks expose themselves 
I would know because that’s what my character sounds like
2shots crushers on overhead lole
also push attack oneshot
push attack is a good tool to have
I just don't do it constantly
Depending on ur weapons u may not need to
Psyker’s kit is just busted
The corner shooter hiding in the dark is my worst enemy
sssshhhhh
If you say stuff like that
Glass railgun
you'll call in the try hards that never ever take damage claiming Psyker is the easiest class
Not cannon anymore
glass nuke
Railgun would be voidstrike meta
Any more buffs and psyker becomes glass deathstrike missile
Voidstrike buff when?
I don't remember them adding in Unchained Psyker 
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
so literally every mode on the highest difficulty

Down in 2 hits
I’ve gone flawless with SG psyker lmao
Or 1, if u get shot by a shotgunner in havoc
being invulnerable until you die instantly is a big part of the class's identity at this point

I have too 🤷♂️
I just feel like that’s Psyker
I AM UNSTOPPABL-
You don’t have a safety net talent like the other 3
So you just either a
Never die or B instantly die
Lmao
There is, it just requires u to drop dps
Even bubble you can’t insta cast because of their weird stun
That's an ability, not a talent 🤓
U can unfuck most situations with dome
Literally unplayable
True, but it's still paltry compared to shout/book
We don't speak of Oggie
HEY
I’ve come to value VoC less after playing exe boltgun for event for 2 days
hi
Oggies fine
Ogryn has one that’s on 8s CD
ogryn mains enjoying their 1 havoc viable build
Which is paltry compared to bubble/book/shout

Is ogryn really that bad? I haven't done havoc yet
I mean
More like
yea
Nah it’s very useful
ogryn talent tree is very boring and more htan half the weps suck
Not a lot of build variety
plus bugs
It’s up more often than most people give credit
Useful? Yes, I never denied that
But bad bad not really
What bugs
People have very strong biases towards ogryn but he does have a lot of good talents that usually aren’t hard to grab
Shame Oggie will never get another build
Actually
maybe they'll nerf shield to 'bring it in line with the other stuff'
pickaxe latrine shovel

Veteran is not much better, sitting at 4.5 good melee weapons
More mass? Don't care
Stagger resistance? Don't care
Shooters? Don't care
Shield them all

cant mantle consistently
Nah, pickaxe / shield
pickaxe shield are all 2 of my ogryn builds
ok now imagine this
It’s very funny when psyker has more good melee weapons than veteran does
vet with a power dagger and buckler
tbh idk if there more bugs
Then you get a havoc Boss and your shield becomes sluggish
but the mantle one is soooo bad i've heard people say they odnt play ogryn specifically because of it
So bring a can opener ripper or something
Never happening they’d give it to Zealot
Huh
still better than psyker
veteran is at an incredible 0 melee weapons i want to use
Trust me I want another melee option but holy fuck veteran will be cursed with 4 choices
most logical choice is either longlas or melta
Nah psyker has more
The 3 force swords actually do different things so I consider them as 3
Knife
Duelling sword
FGS kinda
So that’s 5
Not even the shovel?
5>4.5
power fist is extremely wanted but not on the insignia list
however pickaxe wasnt either
FS, FGS, Dueling, Knife
4

fs fgs and ds
Illisi is just worse FGS
The force swords do different things and aren’t that similar
Deimos and illisi are completely different for example
illisi needs like 1 or 2 different attacks
Whereas vet is 4.5 at best
1 overhead at least
and all 3 of them are replaceable tho
Deimos -> DS
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
I’m leaning more towards the 4 end because heavy sword is just 1 extra blessing away from being really good
heavy sword is so slow on psyker guh
I think Deimos is on a similar level as duelling sword
i want a complete blessing overhaul
It's close. It's not Duelling Sword.
It’s the best scaling force sword into havoc for sure
reshuffle blessings and remove some to make way for more interresting ones
like perfect strike decimator relic blade
DevaStrike 
Wait wait you guys still hate it even after it’s insane buffs
Like they made it genuinely viable
its wonky
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
It’s not as good as Deimos into havoc
Deimos can afford to run deflector to be funny
Obscurus definitely can't delete crushers without some buffs
Obscurus without slaughterer feels bland
It helps my skill issue. 😭
I honestly should make an Obscurus Melee Psyker I’ve been playing too much FGS
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
counterpoint: you can just keep playing FGS

Wow, didn't know you were a heretic
Guess I have to cut you in half with BIG SWORD now
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
I mean, probably FGS, no?
i really really doubt that lmao
Yeah i don't think it's fgs by any means
should be fgs
Do we count fgs hitting infinite targets with the special?
Unless counting special
Cause infinity dps is quite high
most of psyker's really powerful melees are single-target
a general melee is between... wat, FGS annnnnnddddd.... a bleed knife or slaughterer Deimos?
Bleed knife bad
My metric would prob be
Melee weapon only
Vs 50 pox
Vs 20 bruiser
Vs 6 crusher
Vs 6 rager
Vs plague ogryn
What’s like the best performing one across all these on avg
It doesn’t have to be #1 in everything
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 
Could be #3 across everything
FGS comes close, I imagine
My feeling is FGS, cuz it can outrange ragers and dumpsters most things with raw damage
I hope one of the psyker mains get bored enough to test those
FGS will beat anything that beats it in the bottom 3 categories in the top 2
Too much work 
It’ll be too funny if it’s just a Rashad in the end
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
On veteran Rashad is like 2-3 best across all of those pretty sure
and FGS will get those buffs as well, theoretically
Not sure abt psyker
Yeah how many buffs are we allowing, and how much can the build be catereed to the situation?
Build anything
Random bullshit go

puts on charged strike
Like if we buff enough, pretty sure illisi and rashad can get it down to 2 swings against those 6 ragers
But has to be same build across all 6 trials
Rashad can hit the bruiser breakpoint with DD and perks
Permission to lacerate knoife?
@buoyant maple im finally being converted to the mk6 knife
well yes
If you buff enough, illisi can one shot crushers. That's funny and unrealistic tho.
but the BPs on the other stuff tho?
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
7 HBP 
like would DD and slaughterer stacking pre-test be allowed?
No prestack
On Plogryn? 
I’ve got 800k in a match once for scoreboard if that means anything lmao
I don't feel like it 
How would assail be weighed in this since that is almost always the pick with melee SG DD builds?
I prob would write DD prestack off tho, seems like too much effort to control
I think rashad would probably win half of those tbh
i think my most melee dmg was 900k?
Doesn’t get included because it’s melee only
pure melee dmg
pure, raw, unfettered meleeker
warp slice seems to do like
Half of 5?
25% ish of total?
That's why I was asking because other buffs and talents started getting included.
Exactly the way the emperor intended
No inclusion of anything except melee weapon, basically
I’m rly curious
Then no DD and other buffs?
Build anything as long as it’s the same build across all 6 trials, and it’s melee only
I feel like the danger in such testing is you could do weird builds with charged strike
Fuck it why not
or other nodes that are normally never-picks
Let’s see how much it’s actually gonna do
I just woke up, so brain not braining.
I'm thinking it would win poxwalker and bruiser
and get like maybe 2nd place for ragers
Idk who you can get to do this testing, cuz it ain't me 
Twinned blast was mostly considered as dogshit until havoc came out
U never know until u test
i always ran twinned blast
Well, you can guess tho
yeah i'm not testing all that
and sometimes, the chance of the guess being wrong isn't worth the effort
It's a Lets go gambling, awww dangit thing.
Well, that's just because vet has become grenade, spammer of explosions
I would assume that fastest plague ogryn fight would be either fgs or ds4
Interesting. Can it non crit one shot ragers like FGS, duelling sword and deimos?
idk, are we allowing gambling on crit rng?
knife?
oh maybe knife
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
well, aren't we calculating off avg and not peak?
otherwise you get to reset until every hit is a crit 
Yea just avg
damn no gambling for rashad crits
I think for psyker Rashad will pull significantly ahead in everything besides crusher and boss
Where it might lose to others
although, you're crit chance would be high anyways cause of scriers

Well, def losing to duelling sword for crushers
everything loses to ds4
Horde clear.
Are we actually getting into a theoretical discussion of Rashad Psyker
@blissful solar damn the part with the reapers was fire
even then
there were so many bullets
No I’m just curious what’s the actual generalist best melee for psyker
Cause I feel like
horde clear isn't really that big an issue unless there's armor in there
lemme clip it
It’s possible
take ds2 to not get absolutely dumpstered on the horde tests
If you dump into like mettle, DD, Warp Speed SG
NOOOO audio didnt work
To make up for your lack of defense
chad move is ds5
forego any direct anti armor for style points
You mean, I flung myself off Gloriana before anyone else can do it to me.
ds5 zealot is kind of fun
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
the dodge distance on ds5 is insane
Smart cause you would’ve heard the split second of an Agripiina 9 VA firing before immediately being flung off the map
yeah no audio on recordings for today
U can use scrier’s gaze and sword’s warp function
anyone else wanna join?
Weave BB micro charges
what yall running
anything except havoc
bet
Heh.
It would be so funny
If the actual best generalist turns out to be a kinetic flayer Rashad with scrier’s gaze
If ur still playing after a mission, I can.
I think illisi gets dumpstered if we don't allow 15 DD prestack
sure
Not even Assail?
Melee only
Ah
Become veteran 0.8
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
Warp speed is hard to drop after using it for so long
mettle and warp speed r just jolly in general
DD if we REALLY want to fucking crazy with speed also
their uptime is such that you'd have to really invest to keep them up tho
I mean, you go DD anyway
speed isn't actually that great tho considering the uptimes
Crack of bone makes keeping SG ramp up a snooze
But yeah no seriously you should always run DD with melee
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?
If you’re running like BM Rashad
top right in armory
click weapon
then click marks
That shit should constantly be proccing
i dont see it at all..
only thing that'd be top right of the screen would be the gold
Have you not leveled up their mastery?
i have
Nah only 5 metrics
@stark crown
Any build (same across all trials)
Melee weapon only, no weapon swap
Vs 50 pox
Vs 20 bruiser
Vs 6 crusher
Vs 6 rager
Vs plague ogryn
bruh @upper sun why you playing in eurpoean servers
Might go very swimmingly
nevermind i found it
Ragers not so much
Operator > loadout> pick weapon > select weapon top right
Should have inspect, mark and cosmetics
I think fgs might actually win against 50 pox because of the special
It could
scab or dreg ragers
Rashad has the downside of not having access to malefic momentum easily
I mean it does the same against bruisers with weaker elites in the mix
The FGS is just that fucking strong
Both, tbh
the special, full charged, with 30 scrier stacks
can one shot maulers
and bulwarks
now that i think of it
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
Truly fair and balanced
Lmao
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
Lmfao the exodus to psyker chat
no i've been dwelling here for a while, maining psyker for about a week
I talk here rarely
@upper sun I can play now. Ping me when ur out of mission.
GOOD noob
iirc he has a slot open, i left because i was on 200 ping and i cannot be fucking asked
I mean at least my chat isn’t cannibalizing itself 🚬
Rest in peas.
Not everyone can deal with high ping.
i cannot play this game when my animations are breaking on the fgs
U joined a grubcord from a zeal chatter.. dat wuz ur chat ,,
Me neither tbh. I just die.
So noobe ,,
Speaking of are they still arguing in there
Goku smoking cigarette ,,
But it's funny
Nop
I left cause it was miserable
The terminally online have departed
Thank god
Erm i did it first ur a poser
(Good that place was rabies incarnate)
Stand infront of gunner, 0 damage. Randomly stand around, somehow downed by nothing.
Stand in front of yo mama
Anxiety attack simulator.
Arguing every fucking day truly is fun! (Grubcord 24/7)
Look, that happens at 8 ping anyway.
I am totally prepared for the problem childen to go totally unpunished
Does any1 have an fgs purg venting build i can steal
Yam have you not left yet
Falsehood
At least with lower ping it more consistent general anxiety. 
cause i have no other private server with friends
I should make my own grubcord..
NoNoNo, just panic all the time.
and it got tame after clad shushed
Panic bursts.
U can do them on repeat (like, crusher trial repeat 3 times, find best)
Just specify in the best performing one what was used (ex: moonlight slash)
All the time and super panic bursts.
@candid lark you good? my apologies wrong ping
this random guy named vodka
Warp unbound is 10 seconds right ?
DMs are a thing
@strong gulch wanna go vodka died
yeah im aight
i cannot play this game on 230 ping though
i dont like dms
Just group DM, srsly.
it feels so personal
why are you on european servers
Perhaps it's to get the best ping for everyone?
he had a friend also on 200 ping
literally me :3
us east would have been the play 
wait
Not if I'm there.
shit
US east is worse than EU.
clad just move
no
im still on 100 ping on us east but i can play the game at least lol
US east is 20-60 ping higher than EU.
I think it’s actually 5 cause it’s a relatively short gap once you hit 100%
yes
Istfg it feels drastically shorter
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
How many fully charged voidblasts would that be
So it’s even fucking longer
would join instantly
Estimate probably you could push like 3 but this isn’t taking into consideration if you’re using Flurry
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.
you have enough time to do a fgs special and throw 10 assail shards
the 1.5 happens after warp unbound ends
that's why you explode
if it happened before you'd be fine
can brain blast kill mutants yet

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
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!
do you use smite?
No, I did shards
Extremely hard to say without more information
hard to know, really. could have been anything. maybe you use trauma staff and knocked enemies away from him
people could even get upset for no good reason too
Is there something like an argo build that Zealot needs to use?
idk what that is
Yeah wouldn't sweat it
Trauma and smite are prob the two psyker specific things that trigger people most often
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?
yeahhh but it's kinda on him if he gets upset that you killed the horde in front of him
Only trauma horde backline
Its mega annoying if you cant get second wind to proc
It's massive crits though.
So what is the best practice / good team player approach to use?
Basically the only two classes you’re actively “hurting” via enmasse crowd stun would be a melee focused Veteran or Zealot
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
Stagger lock issues that can’t simply be dodged example crusher packs
Just shit that can and will obviously quickly devolve into wipes
Hordes of pox walkers are like the lowest priority
You can't really control assail though, they just kinda fly where they want till they break on armor
1080 TI
Zealots job or even veterans to wipe out chunks of them to avoid that from happening in the first place
Eh, A console is 2060 tiers already.
You play on console?????????
it's mostly your cpu that gets bungled up when there are lots of enemies anyway
Light work
Oh yeah, that true.
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 ?
The only time my fps dipped hard was a walker horde with two dreg tox bombers. Awful.
they actually go towards whatever's closest to your crosshair
as long as you dont hit the enemies right in front of the zealot it'll probably be fiine. unless they're about to get hit by something you dont think they can dodge, then you can help
In most cases, that should be it unless the horde is attacking you.
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
But it's all really situational.
The only rule is if they are attacking a guy… don’t be a dick and knock him over
Unless you see an overhead about to happen, then you choose to take the risk.
Ok, maybe I need to play Zealot to understand how it works. Thanks for all the advice!
Do you knock over the crusher or hope they can dodge it or still have a dodge for it.
I knock all crushers/bulwarks/maulers down. Always. I never care about zealot procs on them
Because those are stupid ice skates one shots
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.
https://imgur.com/a/fJAPh6K like so
Assail is so cool
I have 3 more havocs. And then am finally done with the grind
And can return to the fun aurics
they are guided towards the cursor, and will home in with a small cone where they're flying on heads
You can make their aiming more precise by literally holding the charged throw without throwing also
They go where the camera goes
they go where the breeze takes them
unfortunately the breeze is a bastard that changes randomly every microsecond
Tfw gave up on assail weaving in havoc
Unfortunately, the only good blitz in havoc is smite
I unironically agree
It's just not worth the point most of the time 😦
should parry for them instead
Doesn't havoc just end up out scaling the damage BB does for one shots
Mostly, yes
Mainly zealot
Reciprocity is not required for most weapons if the enemy is stunned since veteran doesn’t bank most of their damage on dodge
I've been slowly chopping through to 20 something since not a lot of time to play between work
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
my poor fgs riposte uptime ruined.......
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
oh, huh.
I tried smite and couldn't get it to work. Any major pickups in the tree I need to get?
EP and probably vent for long smites?
yeah EP, shriek and battle meditation
Smite is more for the oh shit moments when there's 8 crushers and 13 ragers merging into your face
no

hold RMB, then hold LMB
win
i was thinking vent too yeah for the soulblaze spread
Smite works without anything, but remains only a stun
If you want it to also murder everything, you'll need EP and Shriek
By that I mean smite is relatively unaffected by havoc modifiers. BB and assail are still fine-ish
right. for anti heavy, take a force sword?
ds4
thinking uncanny strike and deflector, swap deflector for slaughterer when i dont shck ass
Oh
oh right dueling swords exist
staff... uhhhhh, electric staff?
For wat
I'm thinking of my ranged options
I have smite and shriek for cc and ds for heavies
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
iiiii think i usually brainburst but with smite that's not happening
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
Bowling ball staff might be the play
Voidpurge?
Forgot the name
It was void something
EK is the best anti-shooter staff
thats the zap staff right
electrokinetic
yes
👍
Voidstrike is powerful but very slow
and often reliant on a build revolving around it to really excel
electrokinetic it is. how far does i zap?
yes indeed
Dumb question but how does shriek help with the murder
nah close the distance and burn them 
Creeping Flames
not as much lately though cause i got bored of using the FGS so much
secondary attack is like 26m
and yknow, i wanna win havocs with more unique stuff
but what if... you kill the thing... without running at them

actually i take back what i said earlier, purg is boring as fuck anyway
I’m never really took those 6 stacks very seriously but I guess they add up with the smite dots
they do

sweet, good to know
soulblaze dots*
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.
Like what? I really just though those stacks killed only grunts
They do... alone.
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.
I just switched from pyro to smite , pyro does crazy damage I just didn’t have very good survivability because scrub
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
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
yes
deflector is handy
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
deflector, kinetic deflection, empathic evasion, ultrafast stam regen, shield
bunch of tools to work with
for defense
How it feels to have door to door salesman contact you:

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
so where do i look for a build?
like what talents i should take?
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
o. thought it might be like zealot where its like 90% the exact same thing
blaze greatsword
Only Zealot and Ogryn suffer like that 
It kinda is
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
FGS is one of the meta weapons 
Switch to knife and bolt pistol gunker


this is what i run
this is my suggestion, you have 1 free point
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
and sides im lvl 17 on psy rn
just wanted something to look at
thank you all for the help
join normal board civi
exe stance vet with a not-helbore lasgun
glugger
both die instantly
cool
One message removed from a suspended account.
vraks infantry auto gun, recon las, bistol are the common meta picks
One message removed from a suspended account.
not a bad option either
oh, exe stance is reliant on helbore? I was running it with bolter
i was gonna swap to voice of command anyways but still
nah exec stance works with almost anything
bolter exec is extremely good
aye. I plan to swap from kraks to frags, i've already got solid antiheavy
yeah good choice
ye, you can use the helbore melee with exe up
EK staff is so good in aurics
what's the meta blessings for voidblast right now?
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.
Shouldn't be
You have like zero crit chance with that
it's purge bubble, but voidblast is making its way around right now
Nexus + blazing spirit with flak + crit chance
the stuff got buffed or something, the charge up time is a lot shorter than I remember
Voidblast has wide scaling on charge rate. It needs max. Low stats on the staff make it garbage.
In auric, purg/ infrrno + bubble isn't meta; but in high havocs it is.
See that's what I mean, Purge bubble has 26 likes on gameslantern.
Gameslantern builds are usually iffy at best
what Potato said, I only play in high havocs, in auric you can do whatever and get away with it
The actually good ones don't get attention
So where do I find decent meta builds?
Here basically
Go sleep, you tried to edit twice and still missed it...
I have started only doing VB staff on havocs.
U right, but I would have fecked it up anyways tbh. I got brain fog. 😭
Being tired def makes my typing worse.
Almost failed typing class. 
I'm questioning the blazing part, is warp fire really a big deal or is it better to have that faster charge blessing
It is very big
On voidblast (trauma) blazing spirit is meta.
Well, if you are doing a blazing build.
Either do nexus and blazing or rending and flurry
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
Yeah he probably had rending and flurry
Inside the circle is infinite cleave, PLUS the stagger on the outer ring. On a crit, EVERYTHING gets SB (soulblaze stacks).
I just did 1.8 million on a flurry VB staff today
Rending flurry is strong, but not as strong as fire trauma/ voidblast.
But I have also done that with blazing
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 still need to do a bunch.
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
And I want the assassination ones back
I still haven’t tried it since they nerfed the mini game
idk how to even start doing havocs bc i have no friends'
lfg channels here or make friends with users here
i've just stopped giving a crap about havoc
same. kinda worth it for the sheer diamantine though, unfortunately
i played it a few times
and got the dia i needed
if fatshart couldn't be bothered to make a proper matchmaker for havoc
then i couldn't be bothered to network with people for havoc
I wish I could see the people I am requesting to join in party finder
Fartshard
They did?? I haven't played it in ages.
Yep. Apparently it is really quick now
Thank fuck
hold shift
or tab or something
there is a way to see the current strike team
REALLY
ya
damn lol
with a mod you can even inspect their setup before you request
yup
I was just going in blind for 80 or so games haha
I didnt figure it out until later
Me neither I randomly enter hav 40 lfg in both this server and party finder until I win
Simple as that ngl you don’t need to be friends you just need to know your role and have decent teamwork
ya esp now that Havok has been around for a little bit
I think Havok should have seasons with each their own cosmetics and penances
and main modifier
little too barebones right now
mk6c recon lasgun and the accatran heavy las pistol are my favs for gunker
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?
you dont
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
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
If it is your scriers build, then yeah
Maybe a node here or there may be different. But I don’t think so
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)
I take that Gunpsyker don have a shield variant, right?
i mean its a very good talent regardless
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
hmm well i never find myself out of stamina for blocking really
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
you only need to dodge his grab
yeah
thankfully ds and knife both go like 30' per dodge so that part is easy at least
ye pretty light on stamina tho
wait, what autogun should a psyker aim for, infantry or braced?
Infatry autogun. Recon lasgun is also a good choice

The AMOUNT
of goddamn aurics
teams i am in lose
because people rush like mindless
servitors
is saddening
There is no damn timelimit.... take your goddamn time, people
Infantry because of Finesse

Not even mentioning our lord and savior Vigilant 🙄
Actual image of atoma if vigilant autos were good
It SUCKS
I hate it soooo much
What’s the best one
I figured
thanks, will keep that in mind
depends
I usually run precog uncanny on spyker
you can also run the crit on dodge one or rarely thrust or agile
rampage if you're a lunatic that wants to horde clear with it
agile if you're an ultra sweat
So yeah the Rashad psyker build I made managed this lmao
thrust is usually overkill? unless you want even more boss damage
the crit on dodge is nice
based and rashad-pilled
And probably carapace and unyielding for stats if im running flak maniac on my trauma?
*flak crit
I usually use an 8 ball to decide what perks I'm running so can't help you there sadly
what's a good gun secondary for havoc 30+ when revolver starts losing its breakpoints?
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. 
not really tbh but you could run it to boost your melee
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

So close to clutching a game
then a mauler killed me through a wall
Thanks fartshart
wrong..... warp unbound......
I hear that it sometimes breaks and you still explode
Well other than that
I think there's a mod that tries to prevent it tho unless it got taken down
its not too bad, like its quite easy to get 15-25 stacks just doing the usually thing with Inferno staff. i kinda wish there was a Thermo staff though that would Freeze/slow enemies along with add Brittleness. 
Consecration before nerfs....
ill admit though, doing 400-500 damage a tick on a Mauler with Inferno staff is kinda amusing.
