EE shouldn’t be relied on, but it gives you so much immunity to ranged
that with good positioning, you’ll be fine
how
las pistol?
uh the fast one
mk10 has worse boss damage
by nearly nothing i mean less than fgs
its so peak
i wish
and its not even meta somehow
the thrusts had great ADMs (into carapace) but less damage
and the overheads had more damage but worse ADMs (specifically into carapace)
it definitely is
it is?
psyker’s meta is just a bit more flexible due to how innately OP the class is
lmao
but force greatsword does so much damage
with plenty fine mobility
and can deal with any threat
and has a horde deleter 9000
it loses out on single target compared to like
deimos and ds4
FGS kinda reminds me in a way of one of my favorite DS weapons ... the beautiful MLGS
deimos coping in a corner rn
but it’s just such a powerful master of all trades
against bosses probably
if it's against a pack of crushers with uncanny slaught up, deimos maybe gets more
it’s only weakness is a relatively slower attack speed and a mediocre mobility
I tend to use the force swords when build doesn't have the melee atk speed perks, FGS doesn't feel as good without it
Imo at least
the deimos stagger helps a bit for survival in that situation, but i think FGS being able to just heavy spam and kill in a consistent 2-3 hits puts it ahead
Who here wants to duo havoc 40
The Deimos special stack brittleness instantly?
do u mean rending from uncanny?
i think it can
i think deimos having access to slaught/uncanny gives it a good chance of winning in crusher dps
considering it's fast and those blessings are insane
Yeh, I believe that's one of the resons why I use it with soulfire
deimos l1 and h2 have much better finesse scaling so DD will take you further
FGS is amazing but Fsowrds still have a place
no idea but ik that obscurus will out perform in crusher killing for sure
the l1 alone makes the deimos worthwhile tbh, the h2 also fucks though
hard to beat the satisfaction of the big slice tho
emotional support greatsword
nearly done with this slop
this vet in my team is mag dumpign crushers with an infantry autogun?
its peak
Onslaught is OP
i dont think he has killed a single crusher
beniz
Just speculation but I'm pretty sure in terms of single target dps the deimos prolly wins by a fair margin
The 6 is really slow in comparison to deimos as far as attack speed goes
is this a bit im missing
No. It's always been known tne FGS is a bit middle of the road lol. It's not really the best at anything aside from proccing peril
It's lower on exec stance with marksman iirc
Like one or two. But yeah, I always wait for them to open. If
i think this is a bit
Don't worry, he is blaming the user, the weapon itself is peak
Everybody forgetting Obscurussy
We've had a long time of forgetting it.
fgs is fucking poggers
saying deimos shanks better is like
ok
but is it as satisfying?
not by a long shot
deimos fans coping and seething the moment they see a horde
Deimos with slaughterer can deal with horde pretty well.
As an all rounder FGS is it. It's less fussy than the deimos and it doesn't hurt my hands as much as other melees.
FGS can double as horde decimator and can opener
true!! the real meta is the no hand pain meta
fgs enjoyers slicing heretics in half no matter their size
And it's stabs are really good
zealot knife mains with max attack speed will need prosthetics soon

zealot knife mains probably run autoclickers
Zealot mains replacing their hands with mechanic limbs with auto clicking to maximise their stabbing potential
*Iron hands intensifies
I like the 8, 6 is slow and unweildy and does basically nothing better than deimos or ds4 imo
Its a single target focused sword that's worse than the other two for psyker and has a easy horde clear combo that's not really that great either lol
It does "feel" cool tho.
gamin
Mk 6 is perfectly capable to eliminate hordes, which can clear just as fast if not faster, while it has a better Heavy attack chain to dispatch of ragers and other armoured enemies, the Heavy after push attack do hit like a truck (or a toothpick) but is slower to face multiple enemies even if the push give it safety
But yeah, Mk8 horde management is so straightforward that is solid to keep you safe
Finally rescued enough teammates, now for the 100 missions without anyone going down 
smh we could have farmed that one
smh some people didnt play their seditions
Some of us go down in sedition. Remember?

🚬 i remember
Also, I just encountered the rare 5 wound Crystalline Will psyker 
Gravity is truly our greatest enemy 
And ladders 😭
imagine if crystalline will actually improved the perils explosion
I need living bomb psyker
Also make it proc unlucky for some. 
Spam karnac uprising with a premade, 4-5 min games depending on build
Nah, I will just get it at some point
Not if the smyker has anything to say about it 
Now you can finally play the game
lets hecking goo
lmao
Otherwise I'll have no reason to play psyker
That doesn't make sense 
It kinda of does but doesn't
Got all the vet ones done
Vet least played
Got all Ogryn ones done
Still play Ogryn
So judging by this infallible pattern

I have all class penances and only play psyker, what do you make of that?
I've don't even have an ogryn but I do have 4 psykers. The only class I have with all of the penances is psyker.

have 6 psykers for all their personalities
But that also means trying to get at least 6 +3 stamina curios, the pain
not if you use fgs
how do i get freaking cliffhanger
Read this #psyker-class message
what even is that? near the end of that assassination mission but how does that count
i just smite them before they get into the map
All I know is that it works, I did it like that myself
okay thx i will try
The enemies have to climb up to get to that spot. So there's a cliff back there.
End of hab dreyko (the one with the tree at the end) might also be worth trying out. Lots of spawns and ledges for cliffhanger.
That's also a place to farm the kill 40 during SG (scrier's gaze) penance.
And killing frenzy 

you could probably just use warp slash once and get 40 kills tbh
8 is PA stab and 6 is H1 Stab right?
Good point, they should increase the penance to 60 kills during sciers
yeah why not
Especially with the passive quelling.
my record is apparently 120 anyways
Gun melee psyker in H40 things.
How do you know? 
Mod, of course. Why did I even ask 
trolled
console users in shambles
Discrimination against console players 
Or just add those things to the base game, not all mods, but things like buff bar, loadouts, character slots, crosshairs, some mods that help with accessibility
lmao
cjk glyphs
I don't know what that means 
asian characters arent in the base game
bruh i cant even fish in peace without melting
Ah yeah, not that most of us run into many Chinese players
they'd probably have 900 ping
What are you expecting to catch in that radioactive sludge?
radfish 
i see chinese dudes all the time on us west for some reason
Neurodivergent things.
fishe
fishk
And that will be good? 
i need it for my aquarium 
Bro is double dying and catching fish for his aquarium
gotta do what you gotta do
If you don't have a bladder about to explode and a headache from hunger and dehydration, are you even working on a project??
its true true
creaturas
Is this abiotic factor?
yeah
its jolly
they should make various abhuman "beastmen" skins for the psyker and ogryn
let me play a motherfucking FREAK
i fink u freeky
I did a big stooped and got sucked into warframe
Why not though?
Slack maxxing
you fool, you absolute buffoon
enjoy it 
warframe combat looks kinda dookie frfr
But it could be quick if you get lucky.
The slacking knows no bounds
If you say so.
From what I understand you press some buttons and the entire map dies in late game
wf combat is very eepy
Same as The Thirst Descendant
Should I dump stat warp resist on the voidstrike if I'm running shriek? Also, which two synergies the best out of flurry, nexus and two shots on crit?
Dump stat for voidstrike is blast radius, blessings you can do Flurry and Nexus or Surge and Nexus, it's preference
@blissful solar us west coast is the nearest populated server, it runs OK. But you get the occasional teleport and various ping related shenanigans.
Outside of central pacific that is.
@marble crater thanks.
What are reload animations? 
Its that one thing the normal humans do

Try H40, but you DC at the extraction lift because server decided to kick you.
petah the cspawn is here
The SECOND they add a $20 felenid skin is the day they outsell kreig
I'll go bankrupt getting 3 sets, lmao.
Personally I'd kill for a voidborn
And then reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee because the cat ears are going to clip horribly with hats.
We need more mutations
Well, assuming they don't just sell it as a race expansion thing.
As cosmetics
I don't want to wear no silly hat. I want ROBES and WEIRD SHIT going on my face
I managed to get all the Psyker Penances, the No Damage penance, a +3 Stamina and +17 Toughness Curios for my main Psyker, and 2 +17 Toughness and a +3 Stamina on my secondary Psyker. In the last 2 week. Feels good man.
Waiting for the dregs get shoes DLC.
I yearn to fight Khorne.
If we got actual enemy differences based on chaos faction then the game could be more fun to balance.
For example, Khornate enemies would be resistant to warp damage, effectively screwing over psykers that main staves.
any got a link to a end game psyker build? 🙂
Staff or gun?
which one is the better?
There's no objective "better," they're both great choices.
staff then? 🙂
i like lightning stuff 😄
It's interesting to see how similar a sibling runs their staff...
Here's voidblast/ trauma #psyker-class message
Inferno/ purg
#psyker-class message
ty so much. will look into these! 😄
you're throwing the knifes yes? and then staff on bosses?
Knife?
None of these builds have assail.
ah i guess assail is not viable anymore?
For EK, shock and shriek the boss unless it's a shield.
For voidblast, shriek and stab the boss.
For inferno, burn shriek and stab the boss.
Assail is viable, you just don't need it when you use a staff.
Assail is mainly for right side of the tree builds. So guns and melee.
Left side of the tree is mostly for staves.
Assail is good, but most staff builds don't use it.
Especially meta staff builds.
Well staves will usually be generalist or enable some generalist
Then gun will just be big burst, probably psykers best anti boss gear
Psyker's best anti boss gear is the pocket zealot
Staff is better
Psyker needs babysitting? (I mean, is good to have and freeing...but does he NEED it?)
Depends on how good you are, but no
Just cast zealot at bosses.
"Zealot I choose you! Use tackle!"
Woezealotbeuponye.png
You mean, FURY SWIPES.
Tackle first, THEN close combat
screech
Nope
Every class has ways of self peeling
Imagine 4 individuals that can operate pretty well solo
Then they work together to achieve something greater
We are calling this
Initiative avengers
The Rejecters
Voidstrike does
How so?
Voidstrike is the exception. ye
brainburst isn't bad, little slow
for picking off specials and whatnot though, it does the job
Voidstrike is icky though...
cleave go brr
Void balls
That almost looks like what I run for my Bistol psyker
Ew, warp charges
2 even
LMAO I GOOFed
I feel like this invests too much to grab ER and sacrifices a good bit of damage potential from perfect timing.
Shriek voidstrike
Quick shards can be swapped out for solidity.
Yay, DD to have targets to assail at discretion
ER is needed here. RIP perfect timing
This is such a point hungry build
It's Vstrine worth it? I run this with gun
Vstrine?
Void strike staff
Voidstrike is good. Run it if you like it.
It's in the weakest spot right now, but it's still good.
Why play voidstrike if you can play EK with shriek 
Play trauma because its probably the most interesting staff 
If I want to aim, I'll just take a gun.
@strong gulch So when are we taking you for melee trial by fire? 
Our matches yesterday were melee gun.
OH. You mean take a grey gun.

Tomorrow we go stabbing
I play Trauma or EK depending on the team, if the other players have weapons that require precision I will switch to Trauma to throw all the enemies around and make them miss their shots
0% ammo gun and 0% mobility melee 
I've just been using trauma and hoping someone else is bringing boss damage. 
Stab it
Not good enough to melee monsters
I should probably dump assail too.
Yeah, assail is not melee
But it's how you steal the aggro from zealots so their riposte and precog don't work.
stabbing boss I mean
But it's not targeting me so is all good, whatever class I'm on.
big brain
I wonder if ogryn wouldn't be the best class for Karien, just slow heavy attacks all game, ping doesn't matter, bad dodges also don't matter because of bad ping. You are very difficult to take down, perfect to counter high ping. Mini nuke in case of extreme panic.
Limited nukes.
Unlike vet.
Also, I have inf dodge with DS4 Agile.
Also, wake me up for Oggy whenever they have female Oggy.
Also, you know I hate slow weapons, and slow weapons means even less hits done.
I'm already losing half my hits to packet loss.
Packet loss, schmacket loss
Easy for you to say, you won't play on SEA with lag to even know how it's like.
NA west is already bad enough 
Slow hits give packets time to catch up 
@buoyant maple Do you know which guns have the best mobility?
Highest is laspistol mk2 (because you should have 80% mobility stat) at +0.89m/s
But if your goal is to make FGS build faster I think recon is a better fit (+0.6m/s at 80% mobility stat)
I do melee but with chaos spawn and nurgle you can only do so much
What if they all have 80 mobility stat?
Laspistol is highest
It’s the same as duelling sword & knife
But has no move speed tech
laspee push is a big saver for burster trains
It also lets you edge peril without having to spam the slash
Warp rider free value just pushing before you shoot
Las pistol is extremely great on the scriers DD set up if you're good on weak spots, recon is a lot more chill
I swap fgs to warp slice so if I need to run I have that guaranteed crit that full procs max stacks if I don't have recon

Got gun for melee
What blessing does everyone use on the voidblast staff?
Currently using warp flurry and warp nexus
KRAKS.
https://clips.twitch.tv/ArbitraryPiliableKangarooHoneyBadger-rGQbRsrzgcwlFVXj
we love the big slice
There's 2 main variants.
Flak + crit chance with nexus + blazing spirit
Flak + cara with flurry+ rending shockwave
I see the vision
I assume the flurry/rending shockwave combo is meant for beefy bois
Rending one definitely takes crushers down more. Also nice debuff applied to the enemy.
The fire one does more overall damage.
I still have yet to find a staff build that excels at boss damage
Closest I’ve gotten is the electro staff with the brainburst modifier
Because they don't.
the staff that does the most boss damage is Vraks mk 5
and nah staffker's already insanely powerful
The best you're gonna get is a EP BB build with purg/ inferno.
Otherwise guns is the way to go
give surge staff dummy thicc boss damage
The best boss damage you're gonna get is probably purgatus or lmb surge
Which is annoying tbh. You expect the ST staff to do abit more.
Is pus hardened skin affected by brittleness (shattering impact)?
whats the dump stat on the great sword
warp res
ok
also whats the better mark
it's up to preference (mk8 is better)
is there a combo or just spam lights
depends on the mark
the VIII one
Mk8 is h1 l2 loop for hordes.
Mk6 is light spam and if you feel like it, there's a hidden heavy somewhere in there.
6 also has a horizontalish diagonalish slash with the pushattack follow
is scoreboard with ovenproof plugin still decent or is there something more updated?
After the diagonal uppercut from bottom right
Rending shockwave works on them. So I assume yes.
Although, assuming in this game is... yikes
Isn't the point of the Mk6 that it's heavy loop is a good anti elite for having a easy access stab to challenge waves and still having a respectable light chain to fight hordes while the Mk8 has more safe light chain to cut a hordes while having a more niche push into heavy for elites?
That's still the standard. Power ID is made by the same person who made the ovenproof plugin. It REALY comprehensive to the point that it impacts game performance.
Hah alrighty then
So it's better to not install Power ID?
6's loop starts faster, 8 you have to start with push atk or suffer the horrible h1, after it starts both loop is about the same
I haven't used Power ID, but I think you can just toggle it off.
8 have inf better light, therefore is superior 😤
Mk6 has even better capacity Vs hordes of armoured enemies and still can cut through waves of fodder
Reject the falsehood of simplicity, embrace Mk6 superiority
simplicity is superiority
EMBRACE IT I SAY!!
pfft, 6 light spam has horde still hitting you from the side, 8 I can stand still and spam my mouse
it's too sexy
SEXY
Pick whichever.
(8)
7
If your staff has some solid anti elite capacity and you need some horde sweeper, Mk8 is a good option, it's heavy stab from push attack deals surprisingly high damage
staff?
Otherwise the Mk6 is a really good can opener
It is what I said, you could run a gun in your build and if it has anti armour capacity, then it works too
i don't think you need anti armor if you're running fgs tbh
You can run anything with either mk of the FGS.
fgs is anti-armor already
Yeah, the thing is that Mk8 is slower, so if there is a crusher conga you will take some time to pop their heads
it's not much slower thank mk6 tbh
It's absolutely slower
Safer = Slower
You push one and stab the other one behind In the conga line
If you are facing a single crusher? sure, but sometimes you will have to deal with a small army of maulers and the loop of push into stab will do the job, just slower
there is no loop 😌
you start with the push atk
then the only loop after that is endless bonks
I call it a loop because your stab is specially good, high damage, reach and the push staggering almost everything will help a lot
One thing to consider is that the push attack can make you explode if you don't manage peril with care
you guys don't actually spam the push atk right, because that would be counter productive
not only the dps, the fact things are immune to cc after they get up
Nope, but using it to divide the scrab ragers and dodge back to still stab in the head the ones still chasing is a good way to eliminate them without being eaten alive
You can do it once and swing heavies to kill stuff, but you have to remember that those heretical jerks swing back (the nerve of them)
Yeah, that's my feeling as well. "seems reasonable" - i will try it next time pus hardened shows up. Thanks.
Dude do you even know how to use the mk8?
You have to push attack to get to the heavy stab
do you know how to read
The loop that you say doesn't exist is push attack heavy stab
Yes. And from my reading you clearly don't know how the mk8 works.
no you don't know how to read, very sad
you are bad at both reading and gameplay, you should stop
Digging your heels in is just embarrassing
mk8 shank after boop does good murder but boop itself does zero murder
hope that explained it!
^ based mk8 knower
Besides flak anyone have any advice on 2nd perk?
carapace/unyield
Anyone know if captains are also unyielding? Or just flak?
flak as far as i know
flak
New slopshop today?
2 weeks
Don't worry it will accelerate even faster and you will get used to it
Been a while since i opened the game
wow the devils claw skin looks nice
very tempted
but i never use dclaw
i am 42, it's faster and faster
Ah, that's much higher age then mine, you probably already know it all. But nevermind, yeah, new slopshop is today.
Get ice big sword instead.
Too ex, if they gave me a covered in blood one or a black one, might be more tempted.
your inner vampire enjoyer is showing
It's no secret though.
damn uncle
yes and it is ice-themed
mild frostmourne vibes
oh ya agent are you still playing origins?
origins as in dragon age origins?
Yes.
Dynasty warriors.
I finished wu's campaign. About to finish wei, then I'll play shu and replay wu (on challenge mode for stuff)
We should already have leaks for this week rotation no?
lmk if challenge mode is fun.
I saw you in the discord, and then dropped it after a while because i found that the combat got boring
it reminded me alot of mon hun for some reason, and i went back to play worlds.
Wilds is insanely unoptimized so i won't be buying that
You need to get to high level for better traits to make it fun.
Like the podao is awful without the 33% faster charge trait.
yeah my spear was relatively high already, i think 2 more nodes it will be full.
Just found the combat repetitive.
I really liked the maps though
Challenges are only available in ultimate warrior difficulty. It's just some objectives to do! It can be fun and change how you'd normally play the map.
Spear is quite a boring weapon yeah. I prefer sword for standard dynasty warriors weapon.
i can't rmb the name of the other weapon i mained xD
But yeah, combat feels very samey
Bro it's a mosou warrior game.
If you play any of the old ones... all the weapons had same combo. XD
It's not known for combat variety like elden ring.
Dw origins so good
Idk how they cooked
Borrowed some ideas from nioh lol
wheels are just easier hatchet on god
wait legit
Rise of the ronin pc waiting room...
recently i bought a hall effect keyboard
now im waiting for it to ship
my tekken inputs is going to be so crisp
wait 2 years
Depends
Its prob 2 years, but they could ship it sooner
Stellar blade is on steam already
Wilds coming out in 2 weeks 
the optimization is terrible
i have a 4070 super and without frame gen im under 60 fps
Life gives you lemons
You buy 5090 😎
That's not me btw I'm not letting Capcom jebait me
I'm fine with 100 with FG
no i will wait 1 year and then the game will be slightly better optimized
wait another year and then DLC is out
Yea no I'm not even waiting 1 second
wait one more year and then sale
stop being a gooner

like more than half of those frames are fake
iirc frame gen has 2 more frame for 1 real frame
disgusting
Room also not a furnace
like imagine each time your girlfriend kisses you she kisses two other guys
True
Need to check
Thank god I don't play a lot of zealot, because I would have to buy that armor and helmet
Clad will yell a lot when he sees the black mask but with a hood
What resolution?
1080p dude, i ran the benchmark
That's weird I got 70fps at 1080p without frame gen on a 3060ti
were you on high?
Custom I think I turned off volumetric fog after world's looking like shit
Yeah this screen isn't helpful lol I'll check when I'm back I'm pretty sure I defaulted high tho
the better zealot
I did the funny 


That seems expensive
nah its PERFECTLY priced
same amount of texture as a trinket and price of a fucking hat perfectly fair
Moebian 82nd oh the covert ops
I like the zealot rotation
i hate the zealot rotation
that fucking set is up 6 times a year
and none of the shit i want is on
That's not a bad thing, better than having to wait years for a set. Fuck you if you started playing after the set you want is in the shop, wait another year
yeah but its the exact same one
Nuh uh, there are two different colors
every other time i look at the shop its the same skirt shit set with the trash tiara

because there's 3 recolors of it
👍 very cool cosmetics department
thank u cosmetics department and tencent chinese sweatshop
Just let me have my black commissar set already reeeeeeeeeeee
how many left
Congratz
I'm done. I did all 16
I won't ever have to do another one again unless I fail
Then I'd have to do all 16 again
lets not worry about that now
If you fail one you need to do all 16 again?
british education moment
Well all of the scores get averaged into one mark
So then it's pass or fail
It's just a lawyer education moment. The rest of the system is fine
I dunno why they decided on the most dumb system for these exams
The previous exam was 44% pass rate and I survived that
I don't want to become a static for this next one 😭
Still a high rate.
Oh.
You also gotta consider who takes these kind of exams too
It just gets worse and worse the more you look at it
I think the orals would have stressed you to death
More like, I wouldn't even try since it costs way too much and not a thing I care for.
It's only £3k per one sitting 😭
The amount of slop you could have bought instead
That's 3+ months pay.
They made these exams as a more affordable way to become qualifed
Joke is
It costs more
so
Sorry, 4 months+ pay. If that's pounds.
So 8 months pay, if I simply starve and such.
So this is why ppl go bankrupt.
The system is rigged
But
If I come over to singapore
Won't I be rich
cos of conversions and such
I know people go to Thailand to do that
No. You will just be okay.
I'm on the poor end btw.
Assuming the fees for the exam is a month's pay, that's the high but not uber luxury fancy rich pay.
Some would say, it's the minimum to live good here.
cat gremlin
If only, heh.
I am not eating my doggo. You know the reason we have her.
Mfw you unironically become someones pet
Who said anything about eating pets?
You said to eat gremlins.
I wrote cat and crossed it out and called you a gremlin
IDK, it looked like eat on my phone.
smh my head
Correction karien wants to be eaten
Don't make me go from lvl 3 to 20 on Thunderhammer just to bonk you.
Look i dont missread cat as eat
oh is there a new slop rotation
Also, wouldn't both fit?
The zealot armor is back
For the 4th time I think
What would fit what? 
words
eat cat they look different enough, imo
Not on mobile.
Both cat and gremlin (Based on GF anyway).
Based on what I know only gremlin fits
Cat girl, hrmph.
smh this isnt zealot chat
Dont make our chat go slow too

Hi clad owo notices you
hi
cat gremlin
psycatic
This with Inferno and DS4 is one of mine
And this for rending voidblast if there is already an inferno psyker
ill give this one a try, but empyric resolve scares me
You will get enough toughness back, because you will do most of the killing and you will sit in the bubble most of the time, I also use health curios because toughness takes a big hit in higher havoc levels
ER is needed on VB. You can use the absolutely useless point tax node if you want though for inferno
ERs downside is placebo
hmm
Triple health curios also allows you to facetank snipers
just because you can..😩
I mean with EE you dont really care about gunners anyway
The hp is mostly so you dont get chipped down as fast
Because if you get hit its either a crusher oneshot or you take a lot of chip dmg over time
Especially with green goo mod
Besides, stam isnt needed because youll run kd
And toughness is gained through chorus zealot or shout vet
This is my blaze VB build. Rending is similar but without wildfire and taking quietude
do auras stack?
No 
None of them do
20% universal damage boost
only one that stacks is survivalist iirc
survivalist doesn't stack
no? don't you double dip on ammo back from kills
nope
However because bot veterans don't have any talents they are using the unupgraded version
Which does stack with survivalist because they are technically different auras
What do melee do you guys like to pair with EK staff?
ds4 if you have horde clear elsewhere, else fgs
Illisi or FGS, depends on if I want to actually dodge things or not
Yah, I've been alternating between FGS and illisi. Illisi feels nicer with regards to movement, but FGS is obviously way better for mulching shit
DS4 is usually the go to for staves because of the mobility. You can use whatever you want basically, just whats suggested
anyone wanna play one or two games?
okie
come
If there's room for a another, I'll join
ye there is

Clad will carry
Psyker is my favorite all around class. I have a major problem though. No matter what character I play, no matter what class, I tend to rush the frontlines or stick too far back and get overwhelmed and smashed. It’s just a weakness I’ve always had in games - Im the kind of “bullrushing” tactics player. I also tend to go for glass cannon gameplay. Obviously these aren’t the best combo, but they’re my weaknesses.
Anyways, long story short-ish, I love my Melee Psyker, but need survivability. Otherwise he’s a powerhouse and carves through the front lines like a ginsu knife. Attack speed, or rather kill speed, is my greatest ally.
What I need is a great build for this style of game play along the Psyker path of play. Anyone have advice or builds I could try?
@fallow stream quick, laugh.
Positioning is just as important as any other fundamental
Step 1, teach yourself not to do that.

I'm jumping into a game or i'd give you a longer explaination on good positioning and whatnot
Psyker is a wet napkin when it comes to taking a hit, you WILL die if your positioning is poor and you bite off more than you can chew.
Psyker in particular is the most squishy by a large margin
You get some tools to alleviate your wet napkin-ness, though, through kinetic deflection and force sword pushes.
Positioning. Im not great at that in melee, but I’ll try to be more mindful of that
Psyker can make a lot of toughness, you still get your entire bar shredded from one recon trash guy though
Frankly, if you want to get better at melee, I'd recommend you play zealout instead.
ehh
I use a Blaze Force Sword (1H)
Deimos
one of the better psyker melees
(use a greatsword)
For a psyker is what are the best curios combination for melee?
What good is Stam? I keep seeing it suggested but see no difference in play with it
I still run the +15% from the 3 perks across all 3 curios but hp is not worth using a curio for.
Stamina determines how many attacks you can block until you get stunned, and it goes into peril calculations for kinetic deflection.
Would Wound help at all or is it useless as people say?
More stamina = less peril generated when blocking.
Wounds are bad.
You sacrifice a chunk of potential toughness or hp, things that would help you not go down, for a potential extra res that likely won't happen if shit hits the fan.
Planning to fail is bad.
Okay. Yeah. I didn’t mention probably my biggest weakness - I don’t block. Poor hand eye coordination. Im simply too slow with controls to be effective with it
I mean, blocking is pretty generous in this game.
It's not like you have to perfect block like you do in vt2.
What’s the best way to “practice blocking” without fucking over my group with noob strat practice?
You don't really "practice" blocking. You just do it in game.
Take kinetic deflection, it's towards the bottom of your skill tree, on the right.
K
If shit gets sketchy, like the game throws 12 ragers at you, you can block and side dodge away from them until your teammates help you.
I don't feel like you really need to block that much.
It's just a tool you use in a few shitty situations
The only weapons in the game that necessitate blocking are both zealouts and psykers greatswords and ogryn shield.
force greatsword mentioned!!!!!!!!!!
Will try being more mindful of it.
Oh, what are the best dodging options in “Options Page” There are like “Always dodge” “dodge with diagonal input” and “ vault only when moving forward”
lot of people switch the dodge, but i think its better to leave it, you force the muscle memory of the dodge timing after a while
I only use controllers - again hand eye coordination is a fault I live with. Keys are too hard to mess up. The only key on my keyboard I can “memory muscle” is my Delete key, sadly.
Unfortunately controller is kind of a built in limiting factor, the game really isnt designed for it
I always hear that. Literally always. Keyboard is not a viable option for me. Even worse than controller unfortunately.
no way if you have trouble with kb can you do this, I assume. at least I can't do it
Learning keyboard would be in your best interest.
My brother is really good with controller, and he used to run aurics and stuff with me, but he eventually dropped the game, because he got frustrated with how limited the game's options for controller are.
Just play better 4HEAD
Namely because keyboard allows you to separate dodge and jump to different keys.
or get a controller with buttons/paddles on the back
It’s not learning. I type fast. I just delete faster, if you get my meaning.You can’t “delete” game commands
Messing up is just inevitable for me
I'm afraid I do not get your meaning.
It just sounds to me like you haven't gone past the learning curve of keyboard.
That's OK, though.
I delete faster than I type because of all my screw ups while I type]4
just get better? idk
if you have 10 fingers (or near that) and can move them normally then...
It’s not learning. I might have actually have typed longer than you might’ve been alive. I can’t just “get better”. It’s an inborn HAND EYE COORDINATION ISSUE - legit diagnosed medically since I was a baby - 40 years ago
I see. well, assuming it's truly unsolvable, then okay. guess you're doomed to use controller
You'll probably just have to use controller and figure out builds that work within the confines of your disability.
There are definitely styles of play that aren't that mechanically demanding and are more reliant on things like positioning and such.
Yes. Im aware. I have reWASD for my controller needs. I do have back paddles. I just have neglected them with this game. I will find ways to incorporate them
There is a mod called creature spawner that lets you spawn mobs that will attack you in the training room
do the armored core grip
lol
what the fuck
lmao
So you can practice fighting stuff that way and iron out your settings
without tanking an actual game
That mod would definitely help practice technique. I’ll look for it
or a playstyle that needs none of these things with bubble+inferno staff
that does make sense though. almost wonder if controllers should be made that way in thr first place. maybe analog sticks on the top where his thumbs are
Thank you so much for this!
armored core is like the only fromsoft game thats better on k&m its funny
idk if they actually did the upside down controller thing tho
I’ll try working on all this. Thanks fellow Psykers
@fiery stratus show me how useless I was in the mission please 


buh buh buh but i wanted all the gold numbers, thats what matters 
I don't know why I played plasma, I always miss a million shoots because of the delay after pulling the trigger
doesn't help that I can't aim
You also have one less ranged elite, it's like you didn't even try
hey you got your ragers too
this game advertised 40k warhammers but theres only 2
There is also mauls which are close enough
They are not even close enough to being good weapons
Tech yes because the talent effects it
psyker bolter
No.
It has a set amount of targets it pierces.
There's a table floating around somewhere for it.
sorta? cleave increases max targets
Blatant spread of misinformation for no reason LMAO
weren't people saying Warp Splitting was better than Ethereal Sharts for making Assail hit more things
yea
Because it doubles the cleave and doesn't give a flat +1? 
Should i go for 45% corruption resistance on my melee psyker or stick with dmg res vs gunners? im running all 3 curio's with thoughness % and combat ability regen %
How good are you at dodging gunners?
Corruption resistance doesn't do much in regular missions, imo
im running damnation +
but im alright at dodging them.
should i otherwise keep the gunner resistance?
If it's a choice between those two then gunner, yes
I use toughness, health and still can't decide for third
trapper res for third
For me on Psyker I just do HP, tough, and gunner
Right now I use sprint efficiency, which is okay I guess, not sure if I really need it though 
On Psyker if you constantly slide you will never loose stamina even if you sprint in between the dodges
yes but in a weird way
it’s a flat value but it gets increased by warp splitter
Do the Block Efficiency meme with Kinetic Deflection, you will certainly not regret doing it
The less than 1% peril per rager combo...
it is
ethereal and warpsplitting brings the target number up to 5 from 4 if you take war splitting first
I still find it hilarious that i preordered Darktide specifically because the launch of Fatshark games are horribly jank and dysfunctional
And i did not run into any of the common gamebreaking bugs.
Or the jank.
I missed the goddamn dongliz express
void blast, whats the dump stat?
Blast Radius Warp Resist
Was thinking of voidstrike
Yes you were 
Calling it Trauma Staff was clearly too confusing

Was too traumatising, clearly.
me when i use void gaze to boost my voidstrike staff and void destiny to increase my void damage
if you were to get a billion English speakers together and showed them the two staffs and asked them which one should be named voidstrike I feel like the majority would disagree with the current name scheme
It basically needs to be reversed.
exactly!!
lock in
How are you not gonna make it if it’s only 2 pages and due next week
Game too much.
You can never game too much
Have chatgpt write it 
2 pages...it's truly over
I wrote like 10 pages of brainless shit the night before i had something due when I was in highschool
still got like a 70
I am not english native, it is not even my 2nd language, but I'd say voidstrike is the ground one and voidblast is the greenish-blue sphere, right?
lmao
what
Opposite
its true people do get it opposite
oh
talkin bout this
Write an essay about martyrdom
that is what we should think
ermmm attack speed

Write an essay about wasting time on video games 
on it 🫡
academia is truly fucked
my lab supervisor handed me an ai written thing as his own to add to my report
I was just kidding. Use Claude instead if you want to pass the class 
Wot.
unironically tho ai slop is kinda helpful with starting out introductions
my supervisor used AI
Ai will be the reason the world continues getting dumber
its so over lmao
okie lets see if i can speedblitz this shit so can play more darktide
Clad isn’t schoolwork more important than darktide
ohh my god i learned fire dot can bypass shields
so when i saw the 99 hp shield scab captain
i just procced infernus once and he died
schoolwork doesnt kill heretics

Do it on the night before the due date, you have no choice but to speedblitz it then
do it at 11:59 due date
nah im already 10% done one cigi break and its done
Not a thick group but stinky gunners go bye bye,
Also, one of the grey gun missions had so many gunners. I actually had to shoot some.
Grey recon SO bad.
Begone skinners!
Not the worstest ever but not good.
Sounds like a brand of skinny jeans.
Jean stealers
Boot and pants company that steals ur dna.
Darktide confirmed new hive city Chaos waste mode 😔
My biggest fear
I play bubble on train. I always put a bubble there for a reason.
deserved for playing rolling steel
hop on rolling steel
My biggest fear is not making the jump 
Poor cat slipped
Man, would be cool to get more staff variety. Like ice staff maybe. Is ice magic even a thing in warhammer 40k?
Freeze staff???? 🤔
ice magic is real if we lock in enough
👁️
not directly afaik, but there's a psyker in the rogue trader crpg who freezes himself as a side-effect of using his biomancy, so it's not impossible I guess?
I mean
Tzeentch literally grants his followers actual magic
so you can do whatever you want
Plus, you can always explain away things with warp shenanigans
What's your dump stat for memesword / how low is too low?
could be 3% lower
I just use 60, I can't be bothered 
20 warp res = 20% per pump, which I already find pretty great, but
Im assuming there's someone here who runs as low as they find useful
i think low warp res is best if you dont have scriers
Warp res
