Disclaimer, only tested up through auric maelstrom

but it's probably my best performing psyker build

I love brain rupture for the power fantasy of it so I like to emphasise it lol

it's the best build to play with enhanced psionics rupture imo

[broken thorn]

I can help, send me a DM

[deft stump]

We already did that like last night.

[bronze mantle]

Are there any plans or stated intentions by fatshark to fix the dress part of the psyker outfit currently in the shop?

[buoyant maple]

I reported veteran having similar issues and it got acknowledged so probably?

If not, u can make a bug report in FS forums urself

[fiery stratus]

Just do force billhook and reuse the animations for time

Let the hook pull specials heads off or something

[broken carbon]

@feral carbon

[buoyant maple]

backstab is 120 degrees

(ranged backstab AKA "flanking" is 180 degrees behind)

[feral carbon]

huh, thanks, but ig this means that getting this through quickplay over time is not really viable without taking forever

[buoyant maple]

it's much easier with people that bait shooters for u

[broken carbon]

yah it takes a while

ascension riser is ur best bet

or mostly ranged maelstroms

[buoyant maple]

easiest is probably ranged-only maelstrom

[feral carbon]

well, im working on martydom rn, and just ran out of diamantine upgrading a knife and that axe you mentioned, so ill keep shroudfield and loner on for some passive progress while getting martydom and the corruption one done

this is 3 malice matches worth of progress after just starting it and not really paying much attention to anything but the shroudfield one, so progress is progress ig

[patent jacinth]

Nasty ass fucking build

[fiery wigeon]

oh ew

[patent jacinth]

Loner shroud martyr is something that should stay as a penance and malice main build

[feral carbon]

yeah i dont like it either, i usually use book or charge, because those are actually useful and fun

[fiery wigeon]

some of these penances are so disconnected from actual gameplay

[feral carbon]

just getting penance done atm

[upper galleon]

Should use IJ for the movement speed and cdr imo

[buoyant maple]

I can help u

if ur still on

[weary idol]

lore basis is grey knights who have force pikes

though tbh the lore for force weapons is they can be basically fuckin' anything so

[pine ore]

Vraks (ex columnus) or recon lasgun for gun psyker? What's better nowadays?

[torn kernel]

i use vraks to delete bosses

recon's a little more forgiving for general purpose

[vagrant onyx]

Recon gets decent boss dps with dumdum and handles gunners with short ammo efficient bursts

[wind spruce]

Vraks for mag dumping bosses quickly. Recon for everything else inc. ammo conservation

[nocturne dust]

Vraks is

[vagrant onyx]

Vraks is like taking a chainsaw to their hp bar

[nocturne dust]

Recon is easier to use

[plucky flax]

Recon 12

[nocturne dust]

But Vraks has higher damage output, and you can learn your way around the recoil

[torn kernel]

i prefer VIc tbh

12 doesn't do much after max burn stacks

[wind spruce]

Burn is what you're after though

Quick spray to 12 stacks and move on

[nocturne dust]

and personally imo, everything Recon can do, Assail also does excluding bosses, but Vraks does bosses faster

and assail is the typical gunker pairing sooooo

🤷‍♂️

[dull scroll]

I'm converted back to recon again

the recoil

it's too scarring

[nocturne dust]

You don't need to mind the recoil with assail

[wind spruce]

Yeah but I can delete the whole map if i burn through the ammo on both

[dull scroll]

I can't scribble lines with vraks at long range 😔

[nocturne dust]

You need both to delete the whole map?

[plucky flax]

What's that one?

[torn kernel]

the uh one with the inbetween stats

[pine ore]

And what you guys prefer as melee option for gunpsyker?

[plucky flax]

Okay that sucks

[nocturne dust]

FGS

Anyone who says anything else is a filthy blunt

[dull scroll]

assail is actually bad at taking out specials, single target dmg way too long, you need guns to burst them down to be safe

[nocturne dust]

Excuse me???

[dull scroll]

it's very good vs ragers and shotgun groups

[torn kernel]

but muh boss deeps

[pine ore]

But muh shiv and speed?

[dull scroll]

I'm serious

[nocturne dust]

Assail is not bad at specials in the slightest

wtf

[plucky flax]

If you really want boss dps use las pistol mk2

[nocturne dust]

Are you like

comparing it to revolver?

[plucky flax]

Oops wrong reply to

[dull scroll]

comparing it to recon and vraks

the difference is way too great

[nocturne dust]

Heck no, assail is perfectly fine at hunting specials compared to recon and vraks

[pine ore]

Count as dodging while critting. I cannot live without it anymore

[torn kernel]

true lol

[dull scroll]

if there is a group of elites and what not, then assail is king

[pine ore]

Wait, las pistol can dps? That little thing?

[nocturne dust]

Plus, assail will stagger the special so even if it doesn't kill, you can just throw it again

[dull scroll]

single tanky special like flamer or bomber the gun is just too much faster

[nocturne dust]

no?

[dull scroll]

absolutey

[nocturne dust]

Just throw a couple shards and go back to meleeing the horde or something

The shards will do the rest

[dull scroll]

takes 3+ shards, at least

[nocturne dust]

Time spent on the special is just as short as pulling out a gun and aiming it

[plucky flax]

Ye the fast shooty las pistol with dd stacks do insane damage

[nocturne dust]

only if you're not running DD + Scriers

which

I bet you are

[elder glade]

Las pistol, my beloved

[nocturne dust]

If you're running a gun

[dull scroll]

I'm literally saying this from late experience

[nocturne dust]

Your experience, quite frankly, is trash

[dull scroll]

I do aim pretty fast, so if ppl aim slow then that's that

[nocturne dust]

[dull scroll]

lol okay

[nocturne dust]

Considering assail bad at hunting specials is like considering Rashad bad at clearing horde

[dull scroll]

"bad" is a relative term

[torn kernel]

laspistol deals damage to my fingers

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[dull scroll]

if your other options are that much better, then yes, it is "bad"

[nocturne dust]

If you just throw in 'this is bad at X' with no context, it's going to be against the general options for said X

[plucky flax]

Old video + not using gazer and crit aura
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1230409556216254494/Untitled_video_-_Made_with_Clipchamp_18.mp4?ex=67a3b272&is=67a260f2&hm=5e92b43fd7525d8de2d8d7912f9f97de9e0665e802d3e5ec8b548380a9302089&

[nocturne dust]

and most ranged weapons are a whole lot worse at hunting specials than assail

[dull scroll]

literal said I'm comparing it to using the guns

[nocturne dust]

Yes

Idk how you consider Recon or Vraks better

[dull scroll]

not talking about "most" ranged weapon

[nocturne dust]

Vraks has the damage but good luck sniping special heads with the recoil

Recon has the range, but isn't that quick. Assail may take longer, but you spend less time using assail because it will do its thing without you.

[weary idol]

it 3 shot bodyshots a lot of them so honestly doesn't matter

[pine ore]

Doesn't assail always follows your cursor, i mean tries to kill targets you are looking at?

[weary idol]

vraks maniac damage is stupid high

[nocturne dust]

It's 1-shot assail a lot of them

[nocturne dust]

Yes

[dull scroll]

just tried again on holodec, it's the guns, downside obviously been ammo consumption

[nocturne dust]

Also, in a specific comparison, I would more use language like 'worse' and 'not as good' rather than 'bad'. That makes the comparison more explicit.

[dull scroll]

if you are seasoned fps player the guns wins out by a clear margine

[torn kernel]

assail allows you to turn your brain off while you look away and mulch the horde though

[dull scroll]

the exception again is if there is a group

[nocturne dust]

In a contest where enemies are standing still and nothing is happening, the weapons that have higher damage output kill things faster lol

[dull scroll]

assassil dps scales with crowd

[wind spruce]

Assail is insanely good at managing specials

[nocturne dust]

I don't care how seasoned of an FPS player you are, assail is not in any way bad at specials

[wind spruce]

The strength in assails special management is not its TTK

You should be able to work out the rest yourself

[plucky flax]

Use assails against mutie.

[nocturne dust]

[wind spruce]

Gottem

[nocturne dust]

Muties are elites disguised as specials

[plucky flax]

Stagger mutie + dps it.

It's op.

Assails goated.

[torn kernel]

assail staggers fuckin everything though

[verbal thistle]

even crushers

[weary idol]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-damage-gif-25961554

[plucky flax]

My assails stagger mutie and 2 hits them.

[wind spruce]

Especially crushers

[plucky flax]

My assails > your assails.

[nocturne dust]

My assail staggers bosses

[torn kernel]

it even staggers bulwarks through shield

[pine ore]

That's a lot of Yondu wannabes here

[upbeat kestrel]

Assail measuring contest

[nocturne dust]

Also also, guns have falloff

[dull scroll]

no shit, but that isn't the subject of debate, read up

[nocturne dust]

wat

no it is the subject of the debate

[wind spruce]

Is it because assail is an insanely strong, borderline game breaking ability that is only counterbalanced by the equally strong, borderline game breaking talent that is psykinetics aura?

[nocturne dust]

wtf

I'm not talking about assail's raw damage output

The debate is 'is assail good at handling specials compared to vraks/recon'

and the answer

is yes

[dull scroll]

it was recon vs vraks, I complained vraks is worse at killing specials at long range due to recoil you went assail

assail have no chance at TTK vs recon at range against elites

[wind spruce]

Well I was just responding to the comment I responded to

[nocturne dust]

Well, that was earlier, yes

but the conversation changed

[wind spruce]

This isn't cod

[pine ore]

Hm... Come to think of it i never saw anyone with assails in havocs

[wind spruce]

TTK isn't that important

[wind spruce]

Because of psykinetics aura

[dull scroll]

this game? maybe if you played in heresy

[nocturne dust]

[wind spruce]

People will yap on about health and mass boosts but it's just PA that's bringing assail down

[nocturne dust]

assail you can just lob shards

recon won't beat assail without weakspot, and weakspot is a lot harder to hit at range

[pine ore]

Emphatic evasion cannot trigger as much with assail so... I will go gor the recon i think

[dull scroll]

anything assail doesn't one shot recon beats it

it's simple dps diff

[nocturne dust]

I'm literally in the psykh rn

You want me to time it?

[dull scroll]

go for it

but don't like oh if I have my assasil on max scarier stacks..etc.

[wind spruce]

Dude the 2nd assail is fired like 0.1s after the first one

[young falcon]

Are assail modifiers worth grabbing? I can't find any room for'em on my gunker

[prime elk]

don't really need em

just get warp splitting and you're good

[wind spruce]

What sirosky said

[young falcon]

I do have that. Neat

[wind spruce]

I do like to pick up the recharge speed if I can

[plucky flax]

What is your build? I have both assails nodes on my gazer gun build.

I guess you take quite a lot of gazer subnodes?

[young falcon]

It's the generic gunker build that got linked here once. One sec

[wind spruce]

Crack of bone, perilous combustion and the last DD talent are all optional

[plucky flax]

You can take out 1 toughness regen node for assails recharge.

[wind spruce]

And soulstealer, yeah

[plucky flax]

I'd keep soulstealer and remove quietude.

[wind spruce]

Ew no

[plucky flax]

Assails recharge toughness via soulstealer.

That node next to kinetic deflection what is that? Do you need it?

[wind spruce]

Tranquillity through slaughter? Yes if you're running vraks/recon

[young falcon]

I think that's tranquility

Yeah, running vraks

[plucky flax]

I don't use it.

[wind spruce]

It's insane with recon

[young falcon]

Vraks and knife. But gonna try the great sword, once I roll a good one.

[plucky flax]

My recon las big sword gazer build

[wind spruce]

I remember saying that there's absolutely no way +15 toughness is better than quietude last time I saw this

Still true

[plucky flax]

I'm pro like that.

[young falcon]

No crack of bone? Doesn't it help with gaze upkeep?

[torn kernel]

no TTS

[plucky flax]

It does sure but things are already dead.

[torn kernel]

fair lol

[plucky flax]

Also I want to actually use warp unbound.

[torn kernel]

only thing i dislike about this is no warp speed

but if you're unboundmaxxing ig there's no use

[plucky flax]

With crack of bone warp unbound is hard to get when peril won't reach 100%.

It's my playstyle tho I'm built different.

Run stuff you like of course.

[torn kernel]

lmao yea

i can't live without warp speed

[plucky flax]

Myself I find the boost from mettle is enough to get by.

[torn kernel]

i run both

[plucky flax]

Unnerf mettle.

[young falcon]

Precog though. Get them gaze stacks faster

[torn kernel]

i love running up to hordes and mogging the zealot behind me

[plucky flax]

RIP mettle + trauma meme.

[fathom adder]

You can't kill the mettle
Mettle will live on

[young falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/tenacious-d-jack-black-rock-school-of-rock-gif-10099042

[nocturne dust]

The difference is .17 seconds to kill on a flamer, provided the Recon hits no weakspots and you are using scrier's (and only scrier's), and also I tested in the same scrier's, with Recon second, which gave it an advantage

[torn kernel]

also total anecdote but i've been fucked by unbound's jank way too many times

[nocturne dust]

so, takeaway is

assail good at specials

[torn kernel]

i swear to fuck i blew up doing a PA once

[plucky flax]

Huh no weakspot?

[nocturne dust]

That was the idea, yes

[plucky flax]

That's unrealistic even in live game.

[young falcon]

Crystals are pretty rocks and since ogryn rock is good, that means assail good too.

[nocturne dust]

Although I did do some testing with weakspots

[nocturne dust]

It's at range

[young falcon]

Maff cheks out sah

[dull scroll]

what are you even testing this on, it takes more than 1. some sec to kill specials at range with either assasil or recon, only exception is if you are one shotting something with assail

[nocturne dust]

The range I used was 18 meters

[plucky flax]

What range? Recon is still super easy to aim.

[nocturne dust]

wdym what am I testing this on

It literally doesn't

I literally just frame-by-framed and timed it

[torn kernel]

assail builds peril, guns don't
assail lets me edge harder
bish bash bosh assail better

[dull scroll]

simple question, what mob what range

[nocturne dust]

Flamer, 18 meters

The fire flamer

the non-tox one

Not that it matters much

[fathom adder]

Why not both

[torn kernel]

true lmao

[dull scroll]

how far is 18 on holodec, I'm trying it

[nocturne dust]

Tag the enemy

it says the distance

[dull scroll]

nice

[nocturne dust]

Also, note, I said this was with scrier's

but literally immediate use -> using assail/recon

so no stacking shenanigans or anything

[fathom adder]

Assail builds Peril and ventilates heretics, Recon takes that Peril and transfers it directly to the forehead of heretics, it's the perfect system

[wind spruce]

Nerd

[nocturne dust]

😭

[plucky flax]

The forbidden bistol creeping flames build is best gun build

[young falcon]

Why no peril button. New node, Gimme Da Peril

[nocturne dust]

This is without scrier's, and assail is notably worse (cuz its breakpoints fall off without any buffs) but it is trivial to have DD or Scrier's so I thought it was an unfair comparison.

[torn kernel]

i need to try DB SG sometime

[nocturne dust]

and also I messed up and hit some weakspots on the recon test with no scrier's

also, note, that's kill time for assail

if we look at throw time

[pine ore]

Alright. That's the build i think i am gonna try. Any suggestions?

[nocturne dust]

whole second faster

at 18 meters

[pine ore]

Oh you guys still on that assail thing

[plucky flax]

It's just 2 guys being weird you can ignore them

[torn kernel]

just your regular daily psyker chat number crunching

[nocturne dust]

THE NUMBERS

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

[wind spruce]

Drop maniac off both weapons and put on unyielding for FGS and flak for recon

[dull scroll]

18 is close range, vraks can easily manage recoil, actual ranged is when, like you said, you have to LOB the shards

[pine ore]

But muh boss damage :<

[nocturne dust]

wat

[torn kernel]

i'd prob drop ethereal shards if you have warp splitting

[nocturne dust]

no, the lob is actually not for range

like, if nothing is in the way

you can free fire assail

and it will go farther than lobs

[pine ore]

Oh it work with assail too? Neat. Never knew that

[wind spruce]

Bosses are unyielding....?

[nocturne dust]

It's kinda hit or miss at that range tho

~40 meters or so

[torn kernel]

yeah lol it's like the same bonus at around 10% iirc

[pine ore]

Doesn't it fails to oneshot mutant without it?

[nocturne dust]

Warp Splitting works with everything

even staves

[pine ore]

Yes?

[wind spruce]

And yeah drop ethereal it's not worth it

[nocturne dust]

even infinite cleave (technically)

[wind spruce]

I'm confused what you meant then

[pine ore]

Neat, can add warp speed then :>

[wind spruce]

I'm suggesting having unyielding on both weapons

[torn kernel]

you do not need both with sg

[pine ore]

Last time i checked unyielding is boss damage

[young falcon]

Doesn't the guide says that RMB assail goes further than LMB? Like RMB can reach up to 60m or some crazy range

[nocturne dust]

No?

[wind spruce]

You don't need any blessings...

[wispy bay]

Bosses are unyielding, but they have passive damage reduction.

[wind spruce]

There's nothing wrong with more crit

[torn kernel]

well yea but like

[nocturne dust]

I mean, RMB's targeting

[torn kernel]

drop one of em and get precog for chunky crit damage or something

[pine ore]

I just thought since i already have warp splitting and i really love saying: FUCK YOU to those little pesky gunners with emphatic evasion i would really like that 80 prcnt xrit chance on melee swings

[wind spruce]

So why would you say but muh boss damage 😦 in response to me suggesting you keeping unyielding

[torn kernel]

fair fair

[wind spruce]

I'm confused haha

[nocturne dust]

RMB goes about as far as LMB if you're ignoring targetting

[pine ore]

Than i am keeping unyielding on recon for reapers and vosses

[pine ore]

Cause unyielding is boss damage?

[dull scroll]

all I'm getting from my side is that at 18 vraks destroys both, recon and assail comparable

the longer you go the more recon wins out vs both

[nocturne dust]

and both go to like... 70 meters? Don't quote me on that

[wind spruce]

Who suggested you should drop it?

[torn kernel]

longer than realistically necessary tbh

[wind spruce]

It still hits it with buffs

[nocturne dust]

Good luck hitting weakspots when they aren't standing still

[dull scroll]

not even talking about weakspot

[pine ore]

Oh you said maniac

[hollow current]

then you get the sniper on consignment yard

[dull scroll]

assail travel time among other things just kills it's dps at long range

[nocturne dust]

Again

[wind spruce]

Ya drop maniac

[nocturne dust]

don't wait for the kill

You only care about throw time

[torn kernel]

just dodge it

[nocturne dust]

You can do other things while assail is flying

[wind spruce]

LMFAOOOOO

[young falcon]

@nocturne dust "LMB becomes unreliable after 40m due to the hip fire spread. RMB can hit targets at least 63m away, possibly more." Under class mechanics for Assail. Unless that's weird old shit.

[wind spruce]

This is what CoD does to the brain, siblings

[summer prairie]

lmb has 2.5s flight time, rmb 3s so it has longer "range"

[hollow current]

60m is definitely around the RMB limit from my experience/testing.

[pine ore]

Nothing like standing in front of 30 gunners and saying: gunners? What gunners while your fellow zealot performs some apex level shit to dodge all thise bullets :>

[wind spruce]

Dee pee ess 🤡

[dull scroll]

don't talk if you don't even play this game

[nocturne dust]

Hhhhmmm, I disagree with that

[wind spruce]

What are you yapping about

[torn kernel]

stam regen is uh
A Choice
i'd probably drop ability regen for something else though, it really doesn't do much for sg

[nocturne dust]

LMB is pretty reliable at RMB targetting ranges

Even 60 meters

[wind spruce]

Ability regen is goated

[hollow current]

Why can't I have both DD and EP

[dull scroll]

you, with your r'tarded takes like time to kill doesn't matter in this game

[young falcon]

🤷‍♂️ I'm just reading what pygex wrote

[nocturne dust]

💀

[wind spruce]

You are way overvaluing it

[nocturne dust]

Well, Pygex gets info wrong so 🤷‍♂️

I had to correct him about PotS

[torn kernel]

it shaves off like 2 seconds, doesn't it?

[wind spruce]

Take the facts from the athaneum, never the opinions

[nocturne dust]

(and this isn't anything against him, we all get stuff wrong)

[torn kernel]

which is negligible but that depends on playstyle i suppose

[wind spruce]

It's like 2.7s

[pine ore]

Hm. Guner resistance maybe? Although i really like having my SG up the whole time so i think i am gonna feel those 5 seconds without it on

[wind spruce]

Which is a lot

[summer prairie]

lmb is definitely not reliable at >40m

[torn kernel]

eh fair enough

[summer prairie]

or >45m at least

[nocturne dust]

I'm in the psykh rn

[summer prairie]

me too

rmb hits every time, lmb fizzles out

[nocturne dust]

I can pretty reliably target the elites on the other side and have assail go right by the mauler

[hollow current]

Honestly anything threatening past 20m gets a RMB+Dodge shard thrown at it.

[nocturne dust]

with lmb

[hollow current]

LMB is for spamming into flak elites or trash shooters.

[wind spruce]

I hardly ever rmb

[nocturne dust]

Same

[wind spruce]

Snipers predominantly

[nocturne dust]

RMB is for the dirty sniper hiding behind 15 layers of cover

[pine ore]

Isn't it goated since psyker's stamina regen cooldown is so low that you can literally never run out of it if you just slide the whole time? Without stamina regen it still goes down in my experience maybe wrong timings

[summer prairie]

there's a lot of variablity, if the assail decides to not fly straight, it's not going to hit with lmb

[plucky flax]

Hello syllogism.

[nocturne dust]

That's fair, I don't really have strong feelings about Assail range

[summer prairie]

hi

[hollow current]

I've had some LMB assails do trick shots though.

[wind spruce]

Nah the stam regen is wasted because we can get to a full speed slide after we hit zero every time, and bc of KD

[wind spruce]

When you turn around and they fly back past your head chef's kiss

[torn kernel]

i only use one

[young falcon]

Too bad there isn't like a shotgun mode. Blow through like 4 shards to punch holes in someone

At close range

[upbeat kestrel]

Wpuld be nice

[plucky flax]

There's machine gun mode (quell cancel)

[pine ore]

What would you replace it with?

[hollow current]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1204675031817527306/assail_trickshot.mp4?ex=67a4568d&is=67a3050d&hm=e2a716d4d8038eb1425b4352fa4601f3897452cd1be1bbc9f7bb2bed6ac09d6a&

At 13 seconds that one gets a Trapper.

[young falcon]

That instant toughness loss had me clenching

[nocturne dust]

Also, just an aside for anyone that cares, throw time was calculated from first frame where input was detected to the first frame where I could see the final assail projectile

I don't remember if you can cancel assail earlier and still have the projectile come out, and I'm too tired anyway

Also the testing had no cancelling

[plucky flax]

Still using ds4 in 2025?

[young falcon]

Pokey sword gonna poke till tub tuna does anything bout it

[hollow current]

That was actually from a year ago to the day.

[torn kernel]

uhh prolly a sniper resist for emergencies or somethin

[hollow current]

I've been using the FGS since it came out but that clip reminds me of the zoom and makes me want to go back.

[hollow current]

@plucky flax whoops wrong one at first ping.

[plucky flax]

[brazen rampart]

If youre doing this for h40 I would drop warp speed for owtw.

[fallow stream]

@autumn smelt

[brazen rampart]

Also rending shockwave is useless to you if you are using soulblaze.

[fallow stream]

warp speed..?
where are these nodes i'm blind

[brazen rampart]

The speed node on scriers.

[pine ore]

Oh. I have almost the same exact build

[fallow stream]

furry spotted...

[brazen rampart]

Owtw is the tdr node based on peril next to ee.

[fallow stream]

oh i gotcha yeah

[torn kernel]

i love warp speed

[hollow current]

Why do a lot of my fellow gazers forsake quietude. it's so good.

[nocturne dust]

[torn kernel]

prolly drop endurance for owtw

[fallow stream]

no i like moving fast :)

[pine ore]

Except i use warp syphon instead of... That....

[nocturne dust]

You have EP VB?

[dull scroll]

dropping speed is troll on FGS, your slow ass gonna get caught by blobs 😒

[torn kernel]

it's 10% at least even at no peril iirc

[brazen rampart]

You don't need it because you crit so often with mettle and kill things with warp attacks and get soulstealer value.

[hollow current]

yeah warp speed is cracked, I'd drop endurance first but if this is for havoc then idk lol.

[fallow stream]

hits u with rock

[nocturne dust]

Kill the blob

[brazen rampart]

This is for h40, we are all grouped together.

[torn kernel]

oh fair nuff

[nocturne dust]

Dropping speed is meta

[dull scroll]

if you have a tight team then sweet, can't imagine not having speed in pub games myself

[brazen rampart]

But yeah, change warp speed to owtw and change rending shockwave to warp nexus, unless you're going to only use trauma with true aim.

[nocturne dust]

I do it all the time

[upbeat kestrel]

Go to zealot chat

[fallow stream]

true aim

[nocturne dust]

Pubbers suck so they can't outrun me

[upbeat kestrel]

That your place

[brazen rampart]

Good thing he's not running that in a pub!

[pine ore]

But I don't play zealot

[brazen rampart]

Guaranteed crit after 5 headshots.

[fallow stream]

remember i exclusively use it for bulwarks/crushers

[fallow stream]

i know thats why im saying im taking rending

[brazen rampart]

Oh right you were clarifying why you're using rending.

Oops.

[fallow stream]

i just knock them over with 1 attack

then smack with sword

im gonna pub with the build

[nocturne dust]

wait

[upbeat kestrel]

Youre a furry. imposible ypu dont play zealot

[fallow stream]

practice

[nocturne dust]

then why blazing spirit

[fallow stream]

i'm aa zealot main.

[nocturne dust]

[fallow stream]

idk whta else to put there

lol

[nocturne dust]

warp flurry

[fallow stream]

what's that do

im in a game

[dull scroll]

I tried to run FGS builds in havoc once, but without bubble pub team just dies, felt really bad demoting this guy's 20s lobby and reverted back to meta builds

[brazen rampart]

Hes only using it with true aim.

[nocturne dust]

Charge faster

[brazen rampart]

Warp flurry has no value to him.

[fallow stream]

truu

[nocturne dust]

wat

[hollow current]

With a staff I guess it's easier, tho it's such an easy source of toughness for one point.

[nocturne dust]

They said they were using it for ogryns

[fallow stream]

fgs and assail

[brazen rampart]

Warp flurry requires you to m2 multiple times to get any usage out of it.

[hollow current]

again why did they rename the trauma staff to voidbrapp

[fallow stream]

i queued into a sniper purge in ur honor froge

[nocturne dust]

are you using trauma only for the stagger?

[brazen rampart]

[nocturne dust]

And by only, I mean literally only stagger

[dull scroll]

that truma pairing with FGS is 5head, even if you get caught by mauler/crusher blobs you can truma them down instead of getting flattened outright

[brazen rampart]

Yes, that's exactly why.

[nocturne dust]

ew

I hate it

It makes sense

but I hate it

[brazen rampart]

He knocks over bulwarks because they are assholes and don't like to get their shields popped.

[nocturne dust]

Do you get flattened by armor blobs with FGS?

[brazen rampart]

You could also just kill them.

[nocturne dust]

Yeah, lol

[brazen rampart]

Because fgs has insane damage.

[nocturne dust]

Just stab them

The true 5head strategy

[brazen rampart]

Mfw mauler 2shot even on havoc after 5s in scriers and no dd stacks:

[pine ore]

My first ever class was psyker. sight gunpsyker, but still psyker is my only class that i play most of the time

[dull scroll]

"insane" is a relative term..that dmg aren't insane compared to ds4

[brazen rampart]

I dont need rending to obliterate armor.

[hollow current]

You got da pokes, you got the moonlight slash to stagger and soften them up if it's charged. you got da force push that opens bulwarks and throws back carapace

[brazen rampart]

The base damage on it is better, ds4 just has armor pen.

[nocturne dust]

ds4 is strong but it isn't that insane

[brazen rampart]

A few seconds into scriers and you can brute force your damage to be beyond ds4.

[dull scroll]

you literally have to bang on crusher head like 4 times with FGS, ds4 two stabs them

[nocturne dust]

imagine if fgs had uncanny

[brazen rampart]

I can oneshot them lmao.

Mk8 PA stab will 1tap a crusher with scriers and dd.

[nocturne dust]

I can oneshot crushers with both weapons, lol

mk6 fgs, mk8 fgs

[dull scroll]

yes if you had inf stacks and luck out on a crit

[nocturne dust]

[brazen rampart]

This sounds to me like you don't know how to melee correctly and thus keep getting skill issued when using fgs.

[nocturne dust]

Yeah

[dull scroll]

maybe, please enlighten me how you can normally one shot crushers

[nocturne dust]

Psyker is all about buffs

[upbeat kestrel]

Kraks

[nocturne dust]

Being buffed is normal for psyker

[velvet crescent]

8 levels to go, is bb really a good pairing with bubble or dont bother?

[nocturne dust]

If you can't maintain your buffs, you are a bad psyker

Ergo, you can oneshot crushers with Psyker normally using ds4/fgs, because you will have buffs normally

[brazen rampart]

These talents, 14-15 stacks of dd, carapace damage perk, 5 or so seconds of scriers, PA heavy headshot.

[wind spruce]

FGS oneshotting crushers is exceedingly rare

[brazen rampart]

It's not lmao.

[nocturne dust]

No?

Mk8 does it easier

[wind spruce]

Oh mk8

[dull scroll]

okay 😂

[wind spruce]

Nvm

[nocturne dust]

But even mk6 can do it pretty easily

[hollow current]

4 hits?

[brazen rampart]

Mk8 has a higher damage profile on its poke than mk6.

It can and will oneshot crushers without a crit.

[wind spruce]

What's the threshold? Full DD and like 25 scriers stacks?

[nocturne dust]

4 hits if you are in the psykh and have 0 buffs

[wind spruce]

I feel like I never one shot them

[brazen rampart]

And even then, scriers gives you like 37% crit chance or something if you take prescience. (like you should)

[hollow current]

only max peril and a crit

[nocturne dust]

For mk6 stab? I don't have the BP on hand 😔

[brazen rampart]

Also you can throw malefic into the mix for 20% more damage.

[velvet crescent]

my build is like

fire staff
deimos force sword
bb
aura for cd reduction
bubble
empowered psi

bb for distant shooters/ elites
fire staff for hordes
bubble for, well, bubble, it comes in handy when gunners come knocking
empowered psi for speedy brain aneurysm

any thoughts? does it work or is bb not a good idea with bubble?

[wind spruce]

Well I was wrong

[brazen rampart]

Like if you don't know how to hit crusher 1tap breakpoints then that's a skill issue on your part.

[velvet crescent]

actually im curious, does the left side of shield see use or do people not bother

[dull scroll]

bb is super good with bubble, but take the bb charge reduction instead of that lucky proc thing

[nocturne dust]

I don't know how, I just do

[brazen rampart]

Left side is fun because you can turn off maelstrom modifiers.

[nocturne dust]

no

[brazen rampart]

Waves of mutants is funny when they all bang into your shield and stop.

[velvet crescent]

hmmm, good to know

[nocturne dust]

Wall is bad, and really the only use is BB stacking

[brazen rampart]

Nah it straight up shuts off specialists.

It's super good.

[nocturne dust]

Sure

in a hallway

[brazen rampart]

People are just bad at using it.

[hollow current]

Oh I forgot, Precog is in there too.

[dull scroll]

the lucky proc is troll, especially if you are using purge, you gonna get pox'd

[nocturne dust]

where they are shut off anyway

[wind spruce]

Bruh

[nocturne dust]

disgusting

[hollow current]

But yeah it's an interesting build considering it can get juiced with scriers and DD stacks.

[brazen rampart]

I dont even run precog on my fgs and I still comfortably hit crusher 1taps.

[wind spruce]

It doesn't count if you have precog up

[nocturne dust]

I don't run precog either on my mk6

[velvet crescent]

i'll admit i used it because i was used to popping vent then spamming bb so i was like "shield? hmm, not sure if i wanna do that"

i can absolutely make do without lucky proc though

i have uncanny strike for a reason

but yeah bubble is really growing on me

very handy to break out when there's an assload of shooters

that isn't to say i don't like venting shriek!

i just find bubble super handy

[wind spruce]

Good bc i was about to ban you

FROM LIFE

[nocturne dust]

Bubble has always been my favorite, just be careful you don't overrely on it

[dull scroll]

bubble nullifies nurgle vomit, very good

[hollow current]

[brazen rampart]

Yeah, you can put burgle in gay baby jail and he can't do anything.

The only thing he can do is melee attacks to harm you.

[dull scroll]

he'll still eat you and run away, so don't get too close 😒

[velvet crescent]

nah bro i find both useful
venting shriek is a huge ass saver when a horde appears, pop it and set everyone on fire

[brazen rampart]

That being said if he had previously puked on you, you aren't safe.

[wind spruce]

Gay baby jail sounds like a cool place

[velvet crescent]

i plan to grab kinetic deflection when i can

i acknowledge ds is meta, but i prefer deimos solely because i know force swords more

[brazen rampart]

Gay baby jail prob my favorite thing about psykers entire tree, scriers aside.

[nocturne dust]

No he won't because I always open with bubble

No vomit, no problems

[dull scroll]

what you saying, you don't get vomit on you he won't eat you?

[nocturne dust]

Bonbon only eats you if you have the vomit debuff, yes

[brazen rampart]

Yeah, you didn't know that?

[dull scroll]

no, I never tried to find out, but I'll take you guys word for it

[wind spruce]

Too busy focusing on dps

[brazen rampart]

Gay baby jail = no vomit, no vomit = no vore alarm.

[wind spruce]

[dull scroll]

but if I get nom'd I'm recording names

[hollow current]

best thing about gay baby jail is that it eats nets and flamer flames too.

[velvet crescent]

any suggestions what to grab next btw?

[brazen rampart]

I would switch quietude out for soulstealer and change your ep node to the right side.

[nocturne dust]

If you get nom'd, Bugtide is the only name you need to know

Like silent bursters

[velvet crescent]

soulstealer is toughness regen on warp attack kill correct

[wind spruce]

I'd just be assailing my way to 30 tbh

But that probably gets boring

[velvet crescent]

in that case that actually makes a lot of sense

im hitting a lot with fire staff

[velvet crescent]

bb is my go to because i can snipe annoying specials off the other side of the map

[nocturne dust]

I voidstriked my way to 30 (was very weak and not OP at the time, trust)

[wind spruce]

You can do that with assail too

To a slightly lesser extent

[velvet crescent]

true. what do you pair assail with? im running scriers gaze kn mine

[wind spruce]

BB was a big crutch vs hounds when I was a noob

[dull scroll]

assail is very good for leveling, because you aren't restrained by weapon upgrade/masteries

[brazen rampart]

If you were running smite or assail I would do left side ep because 12.5% chance to get an ep stack is huge for those abilities because they kill many enemies at a time. As for soulstealer over quietude, it doesn't do you much good to get toughness back after enemies are dead, does it?

[wind spruce]

Anything to be honest, but mainly guns and voidstrike

[velvet crescent]

Huuuuuuuh, alright sure I can do that

[velvet crescent]

Oh I mean which ult

[wind spruce]

Any

[fallow stream]

cole said take elites and thats what im having way more success with

[brazen rampart]

I mainly throw my assail at hordes and shoot elites with my gun.

[fallow stream]

that's called using the node wrong :)

[dull scroll]

elite EP is superior to all modes below havoc

[fallow stream]

i just killed 30 ragers in like two seconds

[dull scroll]

high havoc though the 12.5% one is better

[fallow stream]

ep has REALLY annoying ui bugs though
it usually wont display how many charges i have

[wind spruce]

Mods ftw

[brazen rampart]

I think I am going to consume your flesh.

[hollow current]

I think there's a mod that fixes that so you can have 50 buffs up at the same time and see them all.

[brazen rampart]

[fallow stream]

link?

i had like 2 buffs up and ep still wasn't showing

[velvet crescent]

it took an embarrassing amount of time to realize you meant empowered psi

yeah, i see it

[hollow current]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/239

I haven't used the mod for it but I think that might be it.

[brazen rampart]

Lumii doesn't have a buff bar mod...

What a noob...

[pine ore]

I have a question. What's the most OP class in the game?

[velvet crescent]

aight bet. Running scriers rn

[dull scroll]

you are in its chat

[brazen rampart]

For context of this, go peek into vet chat rq.

Hes mad that psyker is the most op class.

Angry that bc zealout has until death, they're somehow the most broken class in the game.

[velvet crescent]

@brazen rampart any ideas what i could grab with my next 8 skill points?

[brazen rampart]

Uh...

Post your tree again.

[dull scroll]

how is zealot even comparable, vet is the only competition

zealot is a boss dps support class at higher diff

[brazen rampart]

Until death apparently makes you an immortal god or something.

[velvet crescent]

my build is like

fire staff
deimos force sword
bb
aura for cd reduction
bubble
empowered psi

bb for distant shooters/ elites
fire staff for hordes
bubble for, well, bubble, it comes in handy when gunners come knocking
empowered psi for speedy brain aneurysm

[brazen rampart]

Idk he's just coping.

Psyk aura, mettle and perfect timing bc crit purg staff, could take quietude and empyric resolve.

[hollow current]

Until Death's greatest sin is that it makes mid players think theyr'e good because they can survive bad mistakes every 2 minutes.

[brazen rampart]

That's 7 points.

Maybe take the toughness node under perfect timing too?

[velvet crescent]

Not a bad idea aye

[brazen rampart]

Scuse me I didn't mean quietude.

I meant the quell speed one pathing towards warp charges.

I dont remember the name of that talent.

[brazen rampart]

This is exactly what I was making a point against it about, it means absolutely nothing if you play carefully, like you should in h40, and don't make mistakes.

[dull scroll]

its only benefit is giving you at a second chance at TS

also if you get crusher overheaded you come out with corruption all the way to 1 hp

[brazen rampart]

I noted that.

It means absolutely nothing in h40 if you eat an overhead bc your entire hp bar gets corrupted.

[velvet crescent]

I got pretty alright rng, following the steam guide

Deimos with warp res 60
Electro staff with 60 quell sleed running surge and warp nexus
Infernus with 60 quell speed

This build's using deimos and infernus staff

[brazen rampart]

Do not dump quell speed on EK.

Dump warp res.

Actually that goes for all staves.

Except voidstrike.

That dumps blast radius.

[velvet crescent]

Aw rip is the steam guide outdated

[dull scroll]

people literally pay million of orens to roll single digit warp res on things like purge, that stat is cursed 😂

[velvet crescent]

Also of note

Deflector... might dump

Uncanny+Slaughterer

[brazen rampart]

You have deflector on your sword?

[velvet crescent]

I just slide when being shot at

[brazen rampart]

That's funny.

[velvet crescent]

Yes but about to be a no

[fallow stream]

ily

[velvet crescent]

I just slide if being shot at

[brazen rampart]

I run uncanny riposte on deimos but slaughterer is always a good option on force swords.

[brazen rampart]

Unfaithful wench...

[velvet crescent]

Imma be 100 with you chief I just picked deflector because I saw I could go jedi on people and was like hell yeah

[dull scroll]

deflector doesn't deflect sniper btw, it's pretty good in clutch situations coupled with KD

but there are better options

[hollow current]

Deflector should deflect sniper but automatically put you to 100% peril and make you explode.

Or down a teammate within 10 meters.

[dull scroll]

I tried deflector on FGS past few games, finding that little info out the hard way was the deal breaker for me

[hollow current]

Deflector isn't really that good anyways once you know the maps and how to avoid getting shot for the most part.

[velvet crescent]

I slide if being shot at

Handy for dodging bursts

Does ep stack with faster brain burst?

[dull scroll]

it does

[hollow current]

You make very sus gestures along with lots of squishy sounds when you have a bunch of elites in your sights.

[dull scroll]

but you also make the peril reduction redundant

[velvet crescent]

Rog

[velvet crescent]

but yeah im gonna be running with a quell 60 fire staff and a warp res 60 force sword for a while on this build

what would you guys grab with the next 8 points?

[hollow current]

One with the warp is an awesome node.

[dull scroll]

that talent beside the warp fire spread is a top priority

the one that gives whole team cd on elite kill

[hollow current]

Psykinetic Aura.

[dull scroll]

but honestly I don't even know how many elites are there in heresy or whatever ppl play nowadays to level 😅

[velvet crescent]

i just did a heresy hi intensity

a pickaxe oggy and a zealot carried

i wasnt useless tho, shield kept me relevant-ish against guns

[dull scroll]

just do EP assail if you want to be OP during lvl'ing

[velvet crescent]

aight

[brazen rampart]

The crit ep dart on its way to solo the whole lobby:

[dull scroll]

that shit is absolutely busted

it's the same assail that can clear aurics

but now used in heresy for leveling 😅

[fallow stream]

@autumn smelt gimme a map ranking on enemy density

[fallow stream]

me when i die like 6 times and still get 1.1k

ep is fun as fuck

holy fuck warp unbound sucks

[wind spruce]

How did you do only 907 warpfire damage

That's impressively low

[fallow stream]

the only warpfire i have is soulblaze on my staffs m2

lol

[dull scroll]

carried there, but what build and what diff

[fallow stream]

hi shock gloriana

i'm using an empowered psionics build with assail

fgs

[wind spruce]

Assail go brrrrr

[fallow stream]

i have trauma staff just to knock over bulwark and rager packs if i need to

never use it

[wind spruce]

But also blazing spirit applies to m1 aswell as m2

[fallow stream]

i dont use it

all my damage is assail darts

and fgs

im averaging 1k-1.3k a game

this build is so much fun

i love assail

a group of like ragers came at us and i killed them all in like 2 seconds

[wind spruce]

Assail is the Truth

[dull scroll]

you know about the assail cleave thing right?

in case you don't there's a talent on the right side that gives 100% cleave on high peril that makes assail pierce more targets

[raven mountain]

extra fun with warp unbound, scrier's, and dd. Assails that hit like 8 enemies with all that bonus crit, damage, and finesse damage.

[wind spruce]

Assails can't hit that number without EP

[raven mountain]

Meh. Thought it was 8 and 10. But if it's 6 and 8, that's still solid.

Haven't actually read the extended tooltip in a minute.

[wind spruce]

It's 5 with piercing shards and warp splitting

2 flat, 0-2 WS, 1 PS

[dull scroll]

there's a breakpoint table on steam somewhere

[fallow stream]

yes

[raven mountain]

Also tbf, I usually run it with EP, not DD. xD

[fallow stream]

max is 10, 13 enemies hit with red stim

[dull scroll]

I don't know how that guy figured this cleave thing would apply to assail but that discovery was sexy af

[fallow stream]

kuli did it

[dull scroll]

niceee

[raven mountain]

Eyyyy, it was 10.

Just with ep, too

[fallow stream]

10 max depenent on hitmass but yes

[summer prairie]

there was discussion about it before the patch was even out

[raven mountain]

Moreso just happy that I wasn't crazy.

[summer prairie]

assail treats all targets as hit mass 1 except things you can't cleave

[upper sun]

thats because you will not stop rushing ahead of everyone

[raven mountain]

Does it always hit head, or does it just aim for head?

[wind spruce]

The most fun way to play

[upper sun]

not for me its not

[wind spruce]

[upper sun]

i shall barrel lumii immediately

[mossy shell]

Is this the class for the mentally unstable?

[raven mountain]

Nah, that's zealots.

[upper sun]

all classes are

this game is for the mentally unstable

[mossy shell]

I doubt that, we fight for the emperor

[dull scroll]

he's a zealot main get him!

[mossy shell]

So what

[wind spruce]

Zealots need the emporer the most because of their instability

[mossy shell]

Without us you cant do a mission properly

You need us to clear hordes

[dull scroll]

no lol

we need you for the book

[mossy shell]

Yes lol

[dull scroll]

and cleanse

you joking

we have purge

[upper sun]

no one needs cleanse unless its one condition in havoc

[dull scroll]

yes, but if you have the goo puddles you gotta have cleanse

[mossy shell]

We got relic blade

[dull scroll]

don't even compare purge to that thing, just FGS mogs that sword

[wind spruce]

Uh, what

Psyker has the best horde clear in the game

Just keep pretending you can actually read that book you're always shouting at

[raven mountain]

at best, zealots are needed for clease, long-term gold toughness, and maybe for holding down a crusher train, but that's only if there's no voidblast.

[mossy shell]

[raven mountain]

Helpful for revives, too.

[mossy shell]

At least we have grenades and can yeet the boss to the void

[raven mountain]

boss yeet is funny, agreed.

[dull scroll]

grenades? it's the book, that is funny at least

[raven mountain]

yeah, I don't like zealot grenades.

Stun can force a clutch revive, but fire are mid, and knives fall off hard with pus hardening.

[dull scroll]

the fire grenade was pretty dope, but fatshark took the nerf bat to it and made mob AI avoid fire

[fallow stream]

@near gale wanna play with me

come play darktide horse man

[mossy shell]

Knifes are good in my opinion

[near gale]

I am not feeling darktide rn... if you asked me like... maybe 6-8 hours ago I might have, but, not now x.x

[raven mountain]

Less good when you have to throw multiple good shots into pus-hardened enemies.

[fallow stream]

la creatura..

the only reason to bring knives in havoc is if you need the tax points for something important

[dull scroll]

wait what's that sound, don't tell me there's a mod that alerts you to assail cleave breakpoint

[near gale]

I was struggling playing a single player game lol

[fallow stream]

i have a sound that plays the goku UI theme notes when i dodge successfully

[dull scroll]

oh pfft

[near gale]

The only reason I wasn't struggling playing division 2, earlier, was because of the scanner pulse skill :/

Being able to get visual information on where enemies are is so useful for someone like me who has perception issues(more so for division 2, since the enemies are way harder for me to spot than in darktide) <.<'

[fallow stream]

its probably for the best

im fucked up n

Bruisers when they catch u off guard

[near gale]

... ngl you made it look sorta like kirby...

[quartz barn]

But now use a gif where the bruiser doesnt even touch you, but you get hit anyway

And where theyre sliding mid attack

[near gale]

Or the mutie that's like 10 feet away from you that grabs you

[quartz barn]

Mutielaunch

[dull scroll]

[torn kernel]

[near gale]

And also at that exact moment the game decides to stop spawning enemies anywhere remotely close to you

[cold geode]

Or he ran like 2m past u then magically stretch armstrong grabs you and slams you in fire

[torn kernel]

[zinc wedge]

What the fuck do I do with smite

Do I charge it or

[torn kernel]

pubs just seem to get split up so much there idk

[dull scroll]

you win with it

but yes, charge it

[near gale]

be underwhelmed by not having a blitz that does damage without the enhanced blitz and venting shriek

[dull scroll]

dont' run around m1'ing like a noob

with smite

[zinc wedge]

I'm still lvl 12 in psyker

Human plasma gun

[dull scroll]

charge it like a pro and you'll be lvl 30 in no time

[near gale]

Basically it's a point and stun adventure @zinc wedge

[zinc wedge]

I've got smite, a fully 500 devil's knife and the orbital strike staff

[summer prairie]

orbital strike staff sounds good

[near gale]

https://tenor.com/view/vodyani-endless-space2-core-cracker-orbital-cannon-gif-20109196

[dull scroll]

that's how voidblaster imagine themselves

but in reality

[summer prairie]

trauma rmb

[near gale]

I imagine myself as having a conflagration staff that does damage when I have a trauma staff...

[dull scroll]

imagination will set you free

[near gale]

That's what u think...

Now a grenade in descent, in division 2? Yeah, blowing yourself up with your own grenade does set you free of descent in division 2

[upper sun]

🚬

[fallow stream]

imagine a world where you are better than you are
and then weep

[upper sun]

how long until the division phase is over i dont like that game 😡

[upper sun]

imagine a world where you arent cringe

[fallow stream]

imagine a world where you're better than me
(fantasy)

[upper sun]

imagine a world where i wont teamkill u
(impossible)

[cold geode]

Id throw out a now kiss gif right now if I could

[near gale]

In a world with more than 1 DarkPill... God that world scares me

[torn kernel]

[near gale]

1 of me is too much as it is lol

[brazen rampart]

I have a hard time killing him, you could never.

[upper sun]

🚬 you dont have my teammate killing skills noob

[near gale]

lol the highest shop prices in the a link to the past rogue lite is labeled "5th avenue"

[brazen rampart]

Is that second only to your eating overhead skills?

[upper sun]

yes

[zinc wedge]

Just went through a game barely using my devil's knife

[vernal pier]

hi, how do you all typically build your voidstrikes? i've been trying some stuff but nothing's really clicking well

[fallow stream]

nexus and surge if i remember correctly

[upper sun]

yeah nexus and surge are most common with notable perks being crit chance flak maniac and carapace maybe unyielding as well

[vernal pier]

i see

[fallow stream]

@upper sun wanna play a few games

[upper sun]

no stable internet yet 😭

[vernal pier]

any combat abilities or keystones that help?

[upper sun]

warp siphon and disrupt destiny help most as keystones

shriek reduces your peril so you can use it more and gaze buffs you further but increases your peril so it can be risky

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9df438db-cfb0-491d-9e4a-c0aacddcb280/voidstrike-10

i use this for voidstrike

[vernal pier]

interesting, that's pretty close to what i've been running lol. i'll give it a shot though, thanks :D

[quartz barn]

Voidstrike weakest staff, pls buff

[vernal pier]

this might be a really silly question but why do you take blast radius as your dump stat?

[upper sun]

its least impactful on voidstrike you can click inspect and hover over it to see its scalling
also it can make headshots a bit harder to land

[quartz barn]

Blast doesnt really do anything

[vernal pier]

the more you know lol

time to gamble at brunt's

[quartz barn]

Also genuine question, does blast radius decrease impact dmg?

So smaller blast radius = higher impact dmg

Or is dmg just static

With blast damage being the same regardless of its radius

[upper sun]

you can also do this but its risker imo

[vernal pier]

i've never been a huge fan of scrier's but i might give that a shot as well

[fallow stream]

weird nodes at top

[upper sun]

it works with gaze

[polar swan]

Is psyker class really bad ? I got my zealot to level 30 and wanted to try psyker but people say he's weak.

[cold trellis]

Why would you run assail with voidstrike? Wouldn't smite make more sense?

Psyker is tied for strongest class with zealot

[vernal pier]

who is saying psyker is weak lol

[upper sun]

nah assail is fine you can clear a bit with it and you can also help stack DD

[polar swan]

I read on reddit.

[vernal pier]

first mistake i suppose

[upper sun]

psyker is just not great at lower levels aside from assail

[glacial vapor]

Psyker can be fragile but not weak

[cold trellis]

Aight, I'm gonna give it a shot

[upper sun]

before the crafting update it was by far the most expensive class to level

[ebon sonnet]

Depends on your build and weapons

[upper sun]

i spent 4x on psyker than any other class

[dull scroll]

don't fall for the lies, run assail and it's ez mod lvl'ing
