#

Blazing spirit needs to be applied before targets die so wildfire spreads better and blazing spirit swords can do funny things.

buoyant maple
#

Blazing spirit should be nerfed for staff and maybe buffed for sword

#

But I rly don’t think soulblaze needs any buffs

proper osprey
#

I wish psyker had blazing spirt built in stuff

brazen rampart
long wharf
#

blazing spirit as a function of scrier's gaze would be interesting

proper osprey
#

Actually buff it

#

Flashback to Syphon Filter for PS1 and holding the taser on dudes until they caught fire

#

the stagger is a little silly

long wharf
#

reduce the stagger a bit, but make the damage dealt scale all the way to the edge of the actual AoE

buoyant maple
#

Reduce stagger to the point where you need a full charge to break rager combo

#

And 2 full charges to stagger bulwark

brazen rampart
brazen rampart
patent mango
#

can they buff charged strike plssss

buoyant maple
#

I mean

patent mango
#

bigfish... lock in...

buoyant maple
#

Either target cap & RNG

brazen rampart
#

Like I'm in favor of pc getting nerfed to be capped to like 3 enemies but it absolutely should prefer elites and specialists if it has a target cap.

buoyant maple
#

Or much lower stack per kill and innate cap on source

#

Like 2 stack spread and only being able to go up to maybe 8 stacks

proper osprey
#

Buff tac axe

long wharf
#

I don't think Perilous Combustion needs touching

#

but I definitely think it shouldn't proc when enemies die to dots

#

only player attacks

buoyant maple
#

Give it like an innate cap on source

#

And make the cap low

brazen rampart
#

I think that would be lobotomizing the talent, tbh.

#

Not just a nerf, you're taking it out back and executing it like it's a soviet pow.

broken carbon
#

shotgunner/gunner should be like 1-2 stacks

brazen rampart
#

Ok now that's a valid rework for the talent that I can agree with.

long wharf
#

or make each enemy have an inate maximum soulblaze stack value

broken carbon
#

rager should be 3-4, ogryn should be 4-5

#

6 for an ogryn would be too much me thinks

#

ehh

long wharf
#

which fits better with the concept of their soul on fire

broken carbon
#

even 4 would probably be too much

#

hrm

#

maybe have it on radius instead?

#

larger enemies PC radius is larger

brazen rampart
#

Shooter elites = 2
Melee elites = 3
Ogryns = 4
Reduce soulblaze adms.

long wharf
#

make the radius based on the number of soulblaze stacks

brazen rampart
#

Soulblaze inherently does too much damage anyway, that should be addressed before any talents are touched.

long wharf
#

there are two three problems

#

fundamentally, players are able to get stack counts high enough quickly enough to wipe out whole areas without much trouble

#

so either stack numbers are too high, the damage per stack is scaling too high, or the application rate is too fast, or any combination of the three

#

it doesn't help that the two primary weapons used to do the above have infinite cleave in the applicable attacks

brazen rampart
#

Damage scaling is too high. Dots deal exponentially more damage the more stacks there are.

clear heath
#

yeah lower the damage

long wharf
#

I'd rather see soulblaze be turned into a debuff instead of damage

#

or vastly reduced damage and major warp-damage-taken debuff

patent mango
#

next update they gotta buff charged strike

#

it'd be so fire...

upper galleon
#

my take on the issue, psyker scales harder into enemy numbers/density than the game can keep up with

#

infinite cleave, on kill procs, it just compounds on itself

long wharf
clear heath
#

actually, i wouldn't mind if they nerfed the damage and buffed duration
really hone in the identity of being high total damage but delayed effect, as I believe DoTs are supposed to be

upper galleon
buoyant maple
clear heath
#

things die too fast imo
it's like they forgot the "time" part of the damage over time mechanic

long wharf
#

so make soulblaze do a ramping damage dot

brazen rampart
#

It already does.

upper galleon
brazen rampart
#

Like it is already a ramping damage dot.

long wharf
#

instead of flat damage based on number of stacks, have the dot damage start low and grow over time based on the number of stacks

brazen rampart
#

That's how dots work in this game.

patent mango
#

wait how does soulblaze kill them dont nurgle cultists not have souls

long wharf
#

no, what I'm suggesting is numerically different

upper galleon
brazen rampart
upper galleon
#

slow beginning tickrate, increasing tick rate as the dot progresses?

long wharf
#

you could have tickrate be a function of number of stacks, too

brazen rampart
long wharf
#

no performance issue with that

#

the engine is already doing dots with individual timers per enemy per dot type

brazen rampart
#

I feel like a ps5 would have it's fans kick into c130 territory if we had so many ticks going at once.

long wharf
#

no.

#

that's absolutely nothing, computationally, compared to the graphics load or sheer number of objects

buoyant maple
#

That’s the simplest yet most brutal way of doing it

patent mango
#

give ogryn blazing spirit

long wharf
#

FartShack already nerfed ogryn boss-killing fire gun ult

patent mango
#

lol

long wharf
#

I couldn't remember the name of the talent tree node

patent mango
#

just call it uhh brutal + effect

#

brutal fire

buoyant maple
#

It’s still strong

long wharf
#

yeah, and yeah it's still worth taking

#

just not nuking bosses like it did before

patent mango
#

i mean

buoyant maple
#

Because it’s the only source of burn that directly stacks to 31

patent mango
#

is it really worth ttaking if its attached to pbb

clear heath
#

is it really worth taking if it's attached to ogryn?

long wharf
#

pbb is quintessential and canonical ogryn gameplay

patent mango
#

ogryn moment

long wharf
#

if you aren't activating pbb as soon as it's available at all times, you really aren't Doing It Right(tm)

#

especially with an Achlys double stubber

patent mango
#

ogryn doesnt even get enough ammo to do it right

Not really that significant

Should play assails with that condition.

does it make assail stronker or nah

in terms of damage

which kinda sucks bc assail's damage is uh

Assail. Not really. You want psykinetics aura tbh.

And if we were 2 psychers? Like, is the damage good enough?

marble crater

Assail damage is not good enough and doesn't hit enough targets to be viable for high havoc

Yeah, thought so too

You rather 2 psykers with psykinetics then.

Hi, someone up for "Cliffhanger" and "Melleus Monstronum"?

I think assail is fine for havoc if you're using it to build MM stacks

velvet sierra
#

@upper sun That would be grat, Ill add you.

icy flower
#

I love blunt weapons, but shock maul feels so bad to use

#

1/10th of dueling sword if I am generous

#

Rashad and ds are the only two I can respect

patent mango
#

the random scrap weps the poxwalkers got would do more dmg than shock maul

weary idol
#

just give shock maul uncanny strike and brutal momentum

#

bam weapon fixed

icy flower
#

tbh my issue isn't even damage

#

it's the feel

#

psyker great sword is cool with its special

#

but attacking carapace feels like I am hitting enemies with inflatable weapon

#

it bounces off so goofy

#

just feels janky

#

hell even tactical axe feels much better, even though I just have to kill 1 enemy at a time with it

#

and shock maul has the same impact as if I am asking enemy if he is consenting to being hit

#

and he says "nah man"

weary idol
#

well yeah it's a less than lethal weapon

#

it's meant to subdue criminals

icy flower
#

and shock maul is a maul, anti-heavy armor thing. It should hit carapace and feel like you are pancake'ing enemies.

#

not bounce off like a balloon

weary idol
#

yeah you'd think the lightning+blunt weapon would be very good against armor

#

like a small thunder hammer for everyone that doesn't get 2 handed weapon privileges

patent mango
#

shock maul is the only wolfer approved weapon

Why play a gunker psyker instead using staff ?

#

Veteran is not doing better than Psyker gunker ?

upper sun
prime elk

#

again, this is about feel, not power

#

no weapon should feel clunky/janky imo

#

at least I sure don't want to play weapons that feel bad to use

only class in the game with a talent that increases cleave

#

Actually martyrdom zealot might be slightly higher

copper jay
#

Do you have some tips/build for a Gun Psyker ?

analog agate
#

The one weakness for staff psyker is fast boss dmg. Which gun psyker excels at

analog agate
#

Gun psyker is still much better for boss dmg than inferno. Technically gun psyker can do everything well. It just can’t do it all well at the same time like staff psyker can

weary idol
#

I mean it can because of the force greatsword

#

It's just harder and riskier

upper sun
# deft stump Hrm?

mercantile one person blows up the wall then triggers the hoard while the psyker stayed behind thumbsup_ogryn

broken carbon
icy flower
#

it is also a warp powered sword

broken carbon
#

not really

#

it’s only warp powered when u use the special

upper sun
broken carbon
#

true

icy flower
broken carbon
# icy flower

it has nothing in it implying it’s warp powered without the special

#

same with the other force swords

patent mango
#

i mean technically its made faster with warp stuff

#

not that you'd know that without outside info

weary idol
#

yeah force weapons canonically are usually pretty shit weapons

#

it's expected for them to be amplified by the psykers innate warpiness

broken carbon
#

fair

#

idk i think the bouncing off is fine

prime elk
#

yeah and carapace is the strongest armor in the game after all...

patent mango
#

when do they add adamantium armor

(for some weapons anyways)

a long time ago i played it on a computer with 12gb less of ram and half the graphics card and it ran better

#

they updated it to 64 bit but only for mac

upper galleon
#

smaul should be anti rager but they nerfed the blessing to do that

#

so like, it's just mid at everything

weary idol
#

its horde clear attacks should have the same stagger as combat axe push attack

#

same for its single target

#

it's so dumb that it has less stagger than the axe

i will always love smaul

Avowed looks so bad.

Greetings, Psykers! 👋

I recently started playing Darktide and am about 40 hours into it, but am struggling a bit with building my character. I've already referred to the Steam Community :: Guide :: The Psyker Atheneum, but a lot of the information is seemingly going over my head right now. Is anyone able to recommend a guide that's a bit more user friendly for players new to Warhammer and Darktide? Or perhaps a good video guide? I'm hoping something a bit more visual or "dumbed down" might help the information click.

I don't care about following the meta, per say, and am just looking to better understand how the talents and abilities function individually and in cohesion.

Thanks in advance. 🤗

inland ice

im convinced theres no way for them to make a game people like

bros fgs video'

#

"the special attack cleave seems to be functionally infinite, but in my testing it runs out somewhere around 70 maulers"

summer prairie
#

does he mean the physical part of the attack

inland ice
#

as opposed to the imaginary part?

summer prairie
#

instead of the wave

inland ice
#

no he means the wave

summer prairie
#

it would be strange if it had some cleave limit, it uses math.huge for cleave which is a Big Number

#

yeah there's no limit

weary idol
summer prairie
#

unless he means 70 maulers in a row and taking into account the space they normally occupy

#

but that wouldn't have anything to do with cleave

thorn cedar
#

idk i took it to mean that there was a 'cleave number' but as he said its never going to cap out in an actual live environment so it doesnt matter

#

so whether its actually infinite or not, who cares

#

either way the bulk of the damage happens in the first like, 12m or so

#

damage fall off will be negating output way sooner than a cleave number would

thorn cedar
#

man i love the bigslice

still wish the one unique blessing on it wasnt totally shite

#

what's meta for fgs setup?

analog agate
#

Carapace + unyielding. I don’t think there is a definitive meta for blessings. Riposte/unstable/wrath/precog can all fit in the playstyle

long wharf
#

ok, thanks

prime elk
#

wrath + shred is comfy as hell

analog agate
#

Wrath is used more for left side tree or havocs. I personally don’t use it on right side when running warp splitter

long wharf
#

I'm currently using the mk8 with wrath and unstable power

analog agate
#

Oh yeah. Shred too

#

Haha. Honestly, fgs has a lot of good blessing

long wharf
#

so, is the "empowered" effect just for the special attack?

#

maybe that's what I've been doing wrong

prime elk
#

so i've just gone back to using wrath

analog agate
#

Yeah, empowering just is for the slash ranged special

#

It can stagger even if doing no dmg though

long wharf
#

and mk6 is more for single target while mk8 is better for general/crowds, right?

prime elk
#

kinda

analog agate
#

Generally

prime elk
#

mk8 has better horde clear

#

but also better anti-ogryn

long wharf
#

mk6 has better heavy damage

analog agate
#

But they can both do it all. There really isn’t a difference between what you vibe with

long wharf
#

so why not unstable power?

prime elk
#

unstable power is totally fine

plucky flax
#

I played maelstrom earlier with mk6 shred riposte and horde clear was fine.

#

Just spam assails more Xd

prime elk
#

i like taking a crit blessing for EE synergy though

long wharf
#

that's fair

prime elk
plucky flax
#

Huh how? It's fast swap nooooo

long wharf
#

so, blazing spirit+shred, got it

plucky flax
#

And with assails you can keep your peril high for warp splitting easily.

What are you feelings about this video

I don't watch Mr E

But smite is indeed a powerful tool

the quick answer to that question is : No, no it's not.

how is that video an hour long

jovial juniper
#

Idk gotta get them revenue or something

crystal cobalt
#

my vague understanding of youtube says hour long videos are bad for revenue

#

10-15 minutes is the sweet spot iirc

thorn cedar
#

it depends on your retention

#

if youre putting out 1hr videos but almost all your viewers click off at three minutes then it'll hurt you long term

#

but if they are watching the entire thing then it's a benefit

#

you can get those stats pretty easily which leads me to the disgusting conclusion that people really do watch an hour of this nonsensical rambling

I've been running a funny build where all I do is spam it, charge or no charge. The empowered attack is kinda like the Illisi when you hit with the sword. Not that damage is everything, but it consistently does the most in groups (as expected of a psyker, lol)

Just max warp res, warp charges+shriek, and Empyric Resolve.

weary idol
raven mountain
#

I'll have to check and see how much bleed I did in matches.

analog agate
#

What enemy does quick swap smite stun that quick swap assail doesn’t?

weary idol
#

maulers

thorn cedar
#

takes a couple extra hundred milliseconds for maulers to stun, same with ragers.

raven mountain
#

Yeah, I'm definitely not abusing the puncture warpslash combo. I don't have a match with over 20k bleed that I can see.

thorn cedar
#

assail is theoretically just as fast, but it's also less reliable because sometimes your assail shard decides to take a detour through a school zone to see a flock of ducks at the pond before coming back around and hitting the trapper you needed to stun two seconds ago who has now netted you

sturdy reef
#

quick swap smite is more consistent in my experience

#

I run it on my meleeker build for that reason

raven mountain
#

Yeah, most of the time when I throw an assail, I have time to swap to gun, aim, and fire before the assail shard hits for the kill.

weary idol
#

at least assail does kill things which smite is not going to without EP

#

malefic momentum VALUE

analog agate
#

I remember testing it a few months ago and I ended up preferring quick swap assail to smite. Even for stunning. Obviously the good thing about smite is pathing psyk aura

fathom adder
#

"Assail follows your crosshair!"
Me, pointing my crosshair directly at the thing I want assail to hit:

raven mountain
#

I almost never bring smite because I value assail for horde and special duty, and bb kf for lazy free damage.

Most builds where I'd want MM appreciate having assail backup.

How is one supposed to do the private mission for the "Malleus Monstronum" penance?

you can easily chunk a boss for 50% of its health even in normal gameplay

icy flower

hardest part in this is bringing in friends for a private match...

#

I finished all psyker penances like 3 months ago, this one is the only left lol

crystal cobalt

pretty sure I did the exact same thing because I was trying to get the Telekine penance at the same time

so my large wrinkly brain said "swap to warp siphon for more shields"

completely forgetting I was also doing the empowered penance

Naw, the 7% elite damage.

Oooo. I mean, you just use it instead for awhile

pliant sage
#

doing that yeah

raven mountain
#

Like, 10% cdr is nice, but you won't always feel it

pliant sage
#
  • increased aura size
deft stump
#

It can't be done in like 1 run, so expect to spend a few days grinding it.

pliant sage
#

so its easier to get it

raven mountain
#

And it doesn't even require you to change your playstyle, weapons, or blitzes.

deft stump
#

And this assumes your team even sticks close to add to the counter.

raven mountain
#

Well, for what it's worth, most psyker builds absolutely shit on elites.

deft stump
#

Or you kill everything yourself.

raven mountain
#

So you're likely to provide for yourself as much as the team will.

auric hi shock gauntlet spawns a LOT of elites

#

you can probably get it done in 8 games if your teammates aren't all neurotics that hate coherency

pliant sage
#

I specifically use the larger aunrea perk so I am more likely to snag kills for the penance

#

cause it counts me and allies

#

okay for warp charges

#

what are the better perk addons

#

Inner tranq vs harvest

and

In fire reborn vs vampire

marble crater
#

Neither for the first and in fire reborn for inferno and blaze voidblast and vampire for the others

deft stump
raven mountain
#

I almost always go right-left because I run soulblaze all the time.

#

But right-right is a pretty generically good.

deft stump
raven mountain
#

and if you're short on points, you skip the top one and the +2 charges sometimes.

pliant sage
#

got it

young cliff
raven mountain
#

I've run left-right for funsies with empyric resolve, and it's fun to just not have peril gain, but I like the toughness gain on charges because you simply make them so fast and often.

pliant sage
#

oh I shouldn't get the 6 max stacks cause that makes it harder to use Power Up

raven mountain
#

Like in high havocs and aurics, you get to the 6 almost every time before your ability is off cooldown.

#

Simply because of mob density.

thorn cedar
#

outside of bubble and havocs its also surprisingly rare to hit six stacks before you cycle your ult into another use

sturdy reef
pliant sage
#

well, I am trying to snag the penance

#

kill 100 specalists or elites with burst while at max stacks of warp charge

raven mountain
#

Grab Kinetic Flayer, too

#

Will probably snag a few extra that way

pliant sage
#

does that count towards it??

sturdy reef
#

yes

pliant sage
#

thats funny

sturdy reef
#

EP BB build is best for it tho

raven mountain
#

Not for the penance tho

sturdy reef
#

KF does, I did it like

#

last major patch

pliant sage
#

EP?

sturdy reef
#

empowered psionics

raven mountain
#

The middle keystone

deft stump
#

Also, if you haven't gotten the BB kills thing, there's a chance if the KF strike kills, that also fulfills a penance slowly.

pliant sage
#

oooo yeah

#

but yeah, I need warp charges, not empowered RN

deft stump
raven mountain
#

But yeah, you got it right. 4 warp charges, and both BB nodes.

pliant sage
#

shouldn't be too hard to get then 🫡

raven mountain
#

Every elite/special kill also gives a warp charge, so it's not too bad to build up and maintain, as long as you don't use your active ability.

#

And if there's a penance for using the elite damage aura, that's a good time to use it too

#

Since you'll be BBing all the elites/specials anyhow

young cliff
raven mountain
#

Harder difficulties spawn more elites and specials, so go as high as you can. It'll make it go faster.

#

Or what's that 4 attack a turn summon at super low lvls to troll DM as well.

The most interesting thing inferno has going on is blaze away stack upkeep

copper jay
#

And voidblast is more to kill enemis at range but the weapon is good for horde clear ?

And also the fact you have to play half blind

Voidblast has a bit more range, significantly more stagger vs heavies and almost similar crowd clear

This is the blaze VB build some use

late sapphire
#

put the center of the blast on fat fellas and the blaze will take care of trash mobs - the damage falloff is strong, but it staggers well and inflicts flame in a huge radius

#

blessings are ofc soulblaze on crit & crit scaling with peril, dump warp resistance

copper jay
#

And what melee weapons do you recommand with VB ?

raven mountain

I tend to prefer rending+charge speed for better control

Plus the blaze only stacks to 6, so it feels bad.

And honestly, I've been told both are sub meta.

#

It is 30/30. you can choose KD over flayer

strong gulch
raven mountain
#

multiple times over multiple months from different people

strong gulch
analog agate
#

There are definitely some options if you find yourself needing KD

late sapphire
#

soulblaze voidblast outperforms rending voidblast easily due to how voidblast adms are

rugged cairn
#

I settled on voidstrike staff and same build as diabolic showed, except of the branch off to right before the purple thingies, I put it in lightning speed and souldrinker

late sapphire

KD is great for taxe psyker

I dont find much use of it outside that unless I am running deflector and H40

even in H40 I dont always take it, depends on map

Im just doing havoks for the penances

raven mountain

No, rending/charge speed voidblast vs blaze/crit voidblast

raven mountain

Had both sides argued at me ad nauseum.

Not sure how this pic doesn’t show that overall chip/dot dmg isn’t better than killing a crusher in one extra hit

I cant share pics yet, but the dump stat on the FGS is WR, rest is 80%

Yep

strong gulch

The biggest threat to a trauma user are shooters, especially if they are scattered. SB helps with that.

strong gulch
rugged cairn
#

Ye, figured.

raven mountain
#

Lowest WR dump I've gotten is 31.

#

Could have pushed it a bit lower if I hadn't upgraded all the others to 80.

strong gulch
rugged cairn
#

Was this before the mastery thing?

raven mountain
#

Yeah, even 31 is plenty to get over 86 in two slashes

strong gulch
#

After the crafting update.

raven mountain
#

It's just a money sink. Buy them until you find one that has 60% WR max, but like 0 warp res

#

then you can upgrade it and stop upgrading it when the other stats are where you like.

raven mountain
#

My 31 hits 90% in two slashes, so it's perfect for quick-charging shriek and keeping peril as high as possible

#

I also run an 80 for warpslash spam instead, lol.

fathom adder
raven mountain
#

Inferno and Voidblast occupy a lot of the same space in being horde clear with elite damage and lacking in long-ranged combat.

fathom adder
#

Inferno + Rending Voidblast is a great duo for truly obscene damage output while also CC'ing basically everything that comes near you, at the expense of needing other people to shoot distant targets

raven mountain

Lol, throwing pellets at reapers because no one else is doing the job feels so bad.

Do you use it in havoc ?

marble crater

#

On havoc 25 and lower I use it only. Above that I only use it if there is a bubble psyker cause EK works well with shriek

strong gulch
#

and that other psyker has bubble

analog agate
#

I played a 28 without a bubble or yellow toughness as an EK/shriek. never again. Too much stress

pliant sage
#

I assume for the like push people off penance

#

I should do the start of the void mission?

#

Okay. This bleed warpslash is actually wild.

I think it's my new second-choice build if there's a bubble/fire psyker.

Warp resist

Warp resist is the dump stat for all force weapons except voidSTRIKE. Voidstrike's dump is blast radius.

pliant sage
#

I see I see

#

me watching as brunts armory gives me all my voidstrike staffs with 80 blast radius

#

(I spent 200k to get one)

strong gulch
#

If you don't have a decent voidstrike and you're short on ordos, you can dump WR on it as well.

#

The better dump for that weapon is blast radius because it impacts heads shots.

strong gulch

If you are still struggling with positioning and shooters, deflector is nice; if that is less of a problem then go for more offensive options.

#

Crits, increased finesse, and strength/ power will increase your single target damage.

long wharf

good enough?

#

starting at 10 is really low, not sure how much I'd have to spend to get lower

strong gulch
# long wharf

This should be fine. The main goal of low WR FGS is to be able to get the the peril needed in 2 specials for max SB stacks from shriek.

vernal temple
# long wharf

I have one that had 0 warp res, by the time I got all the other stats to 80, warp resist went up to 36

strong gulch
#

Just inspect the weapon and see how much peril it gens. Is build dependent tho.

copper jay
vernal temple
long wharf
#

peril gen is 48% at warp res 35

strong gulch

Like yes I know the starting point varies, but why did damage get 1 point from empowering a single time while WR got 2?

it's probably % based, with a max gain cap per empower

Gunker has some pretty good new nodes. Plus FGS (force great sword) can handle hordes and crushers. SG has a node that let's you cast at 100% peril. So you can ammo dump then assail your heart out. That node is called WU (warp unbound); it's a little buggy tho. It can make you explode because it doesn't kick in RIGHT away after SG ends.

Youtuber quality varies from game to game so much, I always felt like the less popular a game is overall, the less you should trust youtube

strong gulch
# copper jay What combo do you use against boss with Deimos ? Special attack ?

Just heavies. Deimos largely ignores the special.

The H2 on the deimos is where most of it's damage is. If you want more single DPS, do the L1 H2 loop.

For faster stabs, you can do L1 then cancel with a block or quell for super fast L1 stabs.

There is a use case for using the special, if it's safe to do so, on and enemy head to get uncanny stacks really quickly because the special is a bunch of hits, not just one. Most of the damage of the special happens at the end of the animation, so if you dodge out of it you forego the damage.

copper jay
#

Thanks !

#

I tried the L1 cancel combo

#

Insane

strong gulch
#

Assume damnation and not high havocs, if you have maniac on your deimos, you can one shot muties with a H2 to the head.

I do me one shot. Not must be max stacks and x buffs up or do 90% of the health.
