illisi is poop against crushers but great on hordes.

[deft stump]

Illisi is horde clear.

You use the Strike to blast the cans instead.

[strong gulch]

There 3 mks of force sword

Voidstrike is for elites first and foremost.

also specials

[restive depot]

Armor piercing? I’m new to the details on a lot of the weapons

[strong gulch]

cans = crushers

voidstrike is good at killing them

[verbal thistle]

if their hp goes down to 0 they die

[strong gulch]

true fact

[restive depot]

No… no way….

[verbal thistle]

I saw it happen

[deft stump]

Bowling ball shooters is still funni though.

[verbal thistle]

its real

[plucky flax]

[raven mountain]

Inferno+duelist is actually wildly versatile. Duelist (ds) is all about mobility, but it's also pretty good at dealing with crushers and maulers.

Inferno staff goes through bulwark shields and has infinite cleave, so you're always good at hordes. It's also solid into monsters.

Your primary weakness with that loadout is gunners, reapers, and snipers. If for some reason no one else is dealing with one, you can always brain burst it.

It's honestly a super versatile loadout.

Oh, and ragers are staggered by your inferno staff primary fire.

Just have to learn the slide dodges (and rely on empathetic evasion) to handle the odd shooters until you close with them or someone deals with it.

[restive depot]

Ik there isn’t any ‘best build’ and it’s about your own ability to play, but is this an easier build for high level? I am STRUGGLING with being swarmed in maelstrom

[raven mountain]

I do like the Greatsword for electro staff, voidstrike (bowling balls), reconlas, and bolt pistol so you don't get horded.

Inferno and Voidblast with bubble are the primary Meta builds.

Both staves destroy hordes.

Voidblast also staggers armor and ragers to boot. Just charge it up all the way.

[restive depot]

Gotcha

[raven mountain]

If you're still having issues being killed by hordes with either of those, you're missing core gameplay mechanics.

[restive depot]

I think I’m gonna run inferno, mainly because it carries in vision reduction missions 💔

[raven mountain]

Learning to block, dodge, and slide dodge.

[restive depot]

On that note, what perks should I run on the duelist?

[raven mountain]

That's a mostly unimportant reason to pick it, fwiw.

[deft stump]

Honestly, Skill>>>Loadout. Ainz runs TacAaxe and Shredder Autopistol and can solo carry most aurics anyway.

[raven mountain]

Idr what people say to run. The dodge crit and the dodge finesse?

I like agile and uncanny, but if I'm running duelist, it's mostly for the mobility.

[deft stump]

I mean, he solos hard mode twins for people.

[restive depot]

I’m not only running it for the light use bro I promise

[raven mountain]

Yeah, but you're basically telling him to be as good as Ainz and it won't matter, lol

Having a solid loadout that has answers to any enemy is a good place to start figuring out the skill.

[deft stump]

But is more, you don't really need to follow builds if you find something you are comfortable with.

[raven mountain]

Like, bringing an autopistol and a heavy sword will leave you crying as soon as you find a single crusher or armored rager.

[deft stump]

It's really all about the feel.

[restive depot]

I hate using the guns (totally not because I suck at aiming)

I like the versatility of the inferno anyway

[deft stump]

I mean, with a hint of common sense with what you run with.

[raven mountain]

But yeah. Once you find something you like, you'll get more comfy. And if it has answers to most enemy types, then you won't be left hoping someone else solves it.

[plucky flax]

Yes it's an easy build to dominate maelstrom with

[deft stump]

True. But is why I just say, find what you feel is comfortable. following meta is just breakpoints usually.

You'll never do as well if you play something you feel off or uncomfortable with.

It just doesn't work right.

Click right?

[restive depot]

Sure

Thanks guys 🔥🔥

[deft stump]

Oh and btw, you can post images now.

[strong gulch]

red role

[deft stump]

Just not in general.

[strong gulch]

pic time

[raven mountain]

Yeah. Most games I will always suggest to start with something Meta to figure out what makes it good and to get more mechanically comfy before subverting it.

Like, I wouldn't recommend a bleed+fire shotty build to him, but I might for you or me, yk?

[restive depot]

This is that build I was talking about earlier

[deft stump]

Slug or no go. Was my first gun ever. Still kinda like it... But it's a poor man's bolt pistol.

And no, I was literally playing melee zealot till it got unlocked.

[raven mountain]

But long range bleed AND fire! That pierces through horde!

[deft stump]

So yeah, lul.

[restive depot]

I can’t use any except the bolt pistol or I crash out 💕

[raven mountain]

Make'm burn and bleed. And then yell at them until they're on other fire too!

[deft stump]

Am a vet main, so they are just bleeding one way or another already, lul.

[raven mountain]

Cute a Brain Burst build. Fun, but not my jam.

[strong gulch]

Mostly fine. No PC (perilous combustion) or KF (kinetic flayer) tho.

BM (Battle meditation) and Warp expenditure are not needed.

[deft stump]

Crash out?

[restive depot]

Lose it, basically

[deft stump]

Ah. Feels off or bad?

[plucky flax]

Bistol

They should make it pierce as much as plasma

[restive depot]

Praying to the fatshark gods rn

[raven mountain]

If you're pretty intent on playing that type of build, this is how I'd tweak it.

Prolly run fgs for melee and bistol for ranged.

Though I wouldn't invest so much into BB and I'd rather run bubble instead of double wall.

But I didn't want to change the spirit of what you had.

[plucky flax]

Ee without crit weapon pog

[strong gulch]

Psychic Leeching is poop compared to other options and if you do EP BB and shield, don't do bubble.

Do double wall for the the KR stacking.

[deft stump]

Excuse me, you have enough luck with BP to boomies heds.

[strong gulch]

Otherwise just go shirek.

[deft stump]

At least on my Melee 'nadier vet.

[raven mountain]

I wouldn't focus on BB with bubble in general. I'd just take kinetic flayer and only use BB incidentally.

And fgs gets like 17% crit chance without the aura. It's enough to dodge some shots while fighting horde.

And there's the crit on hit for it, too.

And if I don't take EE with fgs, I can really feel it, personally.

[strong gulch]

Inferno is assumed. Shirek or double wall.

EP BB is a BB build. If you never use it, then EP is silly.

[raven mountain]

You're totally missing my point. I'd rather uninstall than run EP BB.

However, I often take bubble and KF in builds and run all kinds of stuff.

Not saying to try to run ep bb with bubble

[strong gulch]

I get that, but you are posting and EP BB build for someone who doesn't know the intricacies of the talents.

[raven mountain]

And the build I linked is 99% what yours was. You grabbed Wildfire and Quietude, while I grabbed Psychic Leeching and +15 toughness.

My advice to him was solid.

I just wanted to say I prefer builds that don't focus as hard on BB and make use of bubble instead.

[restive depot]

Major beef in the darktide discord 😭😭

[raven mountain]

No. Mostly misunderstanding

on his or mine, not sure.

[deft stump]

I mean, if you asked for builds more meta, this happens.

I just run whatever I enjoy for a reason.

They can just blanche at my awful builds I have fun with.

[raven mountain]

Either I said something wonky, or he understood what I said wonky. We're mostly agreeing on the builds we're posting.

[potent echo]

Is this the grey name guy asking for a build

I immediately left when I saw that

[raven mountain]

Not a grey name anymore

[wispy bay]

Anyone down for some funsy game?

[potent echo]

Amazing

[strong gulch]

I get that too. Just specifically EP BB + bubble.

I get running bubble in general and I have KF on a lot of builds. We agree on those things specific things.

[deft stump]

If this is some scab only, that's not fun. If you want to, I'm bringing kraks.

[raven mountain]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend EP BB bubble. The bubble cd is way too long. I almost exclusively take bubble with warp charges.

[strong gulch]

Ye

[wispy bay]

Hunting ground

[strong gulch]

very much that

[potent echo]

He wrote BB dps build, I'm not unpacking that

[raven mountain]

Honestly, BB might be why he's having trouble with hordes.

[strong gulch]

Don't BB hordes

[potent echo]

It's impossible to give any sort of gameplay advice via text alone

[raven mountain]

Not knowing when to staff/melee horde vs when to BB and pick off targets. That and not knowing all the defensive stuff for BBing inside of danger.

[strong gulch]

I can do a game

[restive depot]

I’m not bbing hordes guys, I was using the bf great sword

[plucky flax]

Ep bb is peak don't listen to the haters

[restive depot]

I’m not THAT foolish

[potent echo]

It's peak I agree

[plucky flax]

I burst me own brain

[strong gulch]

Just as a general thing.

I have seen newer psykers try to BB hordes

[raven mountain]

Like, you can BB inside of a horde against specials

[plucky flax]

[deft stump]

Oh, normal frags gud then.

[strong gulch]

It was a sight to behold

[raven mountain]

but you have to be all kinds of dodgey

[restive depot]

Usually I just focus on wiping them out with the swords special

[wispy bay]

Use combustion and call it a day, lol.

[restive depot]

The only reason I was getting swarmed was misjudgment on my ability to efficiently dodge out

[raven mountain]

Push more.

That's almost always sound advice, lol

[wispy bay]

BB EP kill special so fast that you can get high sb stacks, if you have wild fire, then you don't even need melee.

[deft stump]

I went to the bathroom while loading in, lul.

[strong gulch]

RIP

I'm in game

[wispy bay]

3/4, anyone else?

[raven mountain]

sure

I can fuck around

[strong gulch]

I feel dizzy and dehydrated. I should have taken more water.

[deft stump]

So, do you want horrible penance build or normal 'nades?

[strong gulch]

[wispy bay]

Im zealoting, I don't care.

My FACE IS MY SHIELD

[sturdy reef]

We'll all be ogrynning after the patch

Zealot rework when lmao. Stiff tree and a lot of questionable talents

[plucky flax]

After vet

Left vet keystone

[sturdy reef]

Its so bad

[radiant frigate]

4 psyker bb only when?

[potent echo]

Honestly this is the only game I played to date that changed so much since day1

[radiant frigate]

unrecognizable from release really

[deft stump]

What keystone? NEVER heard of a left keystone.

[radiant frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/propaganda-gif-19992759

there is no left vet keystone

[sturdy reef]

I returned from release back in november. It really is unrecognizable

Played beta and everything. Totally different

I think vet was the strongest on release? My memory is murky

[radiant frigate]

having acces to toughness if your own making? game changer

[sturdy reef]

BB stopped scaling after diff 3

[plucky flax]

Vet autopistol / instant reload bolter pog

[sturdy reef]

Literally couldnt 1 tap a gunner with BB above malice

[radiant frigate]

grey power sword with multiple swings outperforming other classes' upgraded weapons

[sturdy reef]

All I remember was spamming electro staff rmb

[radiant frigate]

vets also having 200 base toughness

insane class

[sturdy reef]

Oh yeah, that

I forgot

[radiant frigate]

and fucking

camouflage

stand still become immune to boolet

[sturdy reef]

Psyker was considered the weakest at release I think because you only had BB and vent had no SB talent

And BB was even worse

[radiant frigate]

it did but i think soulblaze wasn't good yet

[plucky flax]

It was just harder to play

[potent echo]

Nah the one that gave you 90% TDR while in yellow vision

[radiant frigate]

something like "1 stack per warp charge" which you only got from BB kills

[plucky flax]

It was never bad

[potent echo]

There's was a certain point where quelling was absolutely ass

[plucky flax]

Easiest psyker playstyle back then was surge right click spam minimal charge stun bot

[sturdy reef]

Yes

[plucky flax]

But now you can do it with a blitz

[sturdy reef]

I played that

[radiant frigate]

also! let's not forget melee enemies at release

[plucky flax]

[sturdy reef]

BB couldnt one tap shit

[potent echo]

Now that only happens in havocs

[radiant frigate]

you eat an overhead and just go "ok and?" because toughness absorbed it

[potent echo]

The more things change

[radiant frigate]

havoc brought the release experience back

[sturdy reef]

U know what, it kinda did

[radiant frigate]

you can once again get turned into swiss cheese by trash shooters

[sturdy reef]

Oh god

Now Im getting flashbacks

[potent echo]

I wished they leaned a little more into aggroing shooters into melee on high difficulty

Now it's just bring assail or cry

[radiant frigate]

release, when the scariest thing you could run into whem clutching was check notes a bunch of trash shooters taking cover?

[potent echo]

No

A shotgunner from 1 room away when he didn't have range dropoff

[plucky flax]

It's the irl experience. If you get shot you die

[potent echo]

[radiant frigate]

and if you get slapped by an ogryn you become a meat pancake

[radiant frigate]

reaper with da chainsaw

[potent echo]

I can't even tell what patch this is

[plucky flax]

Current

[radiant frigate]

judging by The Stabinator on vet, and 2 bubbles and chorus

havoc

[plucky flax]

But if you get looked at by reaper and your toes are outside the bubble you die

50 yellow toughness didn't mean much to big machine gun guy

[radiant frigate]

i generally try to avoid being looked at

[potent echo]

I see HP still 200 so not even high havoc, reapers

[plucky flax]

It's h40. I'm running 3 hp curios

Although above 31 it won't matter with emperors light 2

I blame karien late in the book to cc the reaper

[hot hamlet]

Can someone explain me the momentum for charged attacks with duelling sword or any other for when you do with sprinting?

[plucky flax]

What do you mean? Faster move tech?

@marble crater nice German gnome

[radiant frigate]

Geldscheißer jumpscare

[plucky flax]

Bro is pooping out money maybe I should try that

[strong gulch]

Behold

@raven mountain Hogged all of the SB. Dang shriek doing shriek things.

[raven mountain]

If I'd known you were doing a blazing spirit, I could have done no shriek!

[plucky flax]

That sword is too based

[wispy bay]

Don't you see my orgryn with less than 200hp?

[plucky flax]

Maybe 1 day trauma blazing spirits can also be that strong

[strong gulch]

No. Taking shriek was the better call. I would have gotten like 64k SB lmao

Meme build

[raven mountain]

Yeah, I was doing kinda memey builds too--but I was keeping them to stuff I've played that is still good.

[wispy bay]

Real meme is to use Obscurus and not Illisi.

[radiant frigate]

obscurus is no longer meme

[strong gulch]

Don't worry. I was using 26 damage illisi with no uncanny on the crushers and maulers.

[wispy bay]

I know, but it has the stab crit and burns.

[plucky flax]

Id still put deimos over it but it's usable

[strong gulch]

I wish bloodthirsty was crits for 5s on weapon special kill again.

[radiant frigate]

probably

[plucky flax]

The heavy 2 on deimos is too powerful

[wispy bay]

I play orgryn so much with without using blitz that I forget to use my friendly rock.

[radiant frigate]

illisi was never heard from again after The Incident (warp splitting)

[strong gulch]

In my hands, deimos is way stronger... but I am noob with obscurus.

[plucky flax]

I use illisi on my surge creeping flames spam still

[wispy bay]

Deimos H2 is probably the strongest single attack hit in the game.

[strong gulch]

IDK how I used to fight hordes with it.

[strong gulch]

same

[plucky flax]

Deimos heavy 2 against scab captain putting him on his ass xd

[radiant frigate]

thumder hamemr

[plucky flax]

Powerful move

[strong gulch]

Funny move

[wispy bay]

Thunder hammer needs special assist.

And many zealot perks.

[strong gulch]

force hammer

[wispy bay]

Deimos H2 special is something, but you don't use it.

It might break the game.

[plucky flax]

Recon las?

[deft stump]

Yes.

I mean, what other gun do I have that isn't a bolt pistol?

Oh, Zarona Revolver.

[raven mountain]

That's how I'd set it up. If I could squeeze out one more point, I'd grab the monster/ogryn damage

[wispy bay]

You don't need to use outlaugh for recon las to be honest.

[plucky flax]

Ye im over with onslaught

Just melee crushers

(Don't get slammed)

[wispy bay]

All of the time I run recon las vet in H40 with you guys, I don't use onslaught.

[wispy bay]

Not even, just unload to their faces.

[plucky flax]

Ds and plasma gun no nerf btw

[azure parcel]

top left side diamond is bad

js

[raven mountain]

It's a specific consideration. I like right side for myself

[deft stump]

So uhh, anyone for help with getting that 5x 20 sec exe stance thing?

[wispy bay]

The only ways to do that it to get good, really.

[plucky flax]

Wow pls no flame

[wispy bay]

Well, just need to get good to do that penance. After that, return to monkey.

It happened to me.

[plucky flax]

You don't diss havoc 40 ready player

[hot hamlet]

yes people use it to move faster I guess?

[plucky flax]

Yeah you heavy attack then slide

[hot hamlet]

so first heavy then slide

[plucky flax]

Sprint charge heavy release heavy press crouch

[hot hamlet]

now thats complicated

[plucky flax]

Try around in the meatgrinder. It's pretty easy. Easier with toggle sprint than hold to sprint imo

[hot hamlet]

my hands are way too weak to play with hold anyway

but I dont really get it

how exactly do you do that could you elaborate please?

[plucky flax]

Practice with a light attack sprint slide first then

So sprint around, then press left click. Just after left click you press the crouch button to initiate a slide

[hot hamlet]

so the idea here to add the momentum from attacking to the sliding?

[plucky flax]

Yeah and save your stamina in the process since sliding doesn't consume stamina like sprinting

Some attacks lunge the character forward

[hot hamlet]

so the idea here is to save more stamina or actually faster movements?

[plucky flax]

As you save stamina you move faster since you can sprint more

[potent echo]

You can basically sprint for free (stamina neutral)

[hot hamlet]

yeah but what Im asking is the period of movement

does the lunge makes you move faster or it's just for conserving stamina

[plucky flax]

It depends on weapon. Heavy sword is probably just slightly slower or equal to sprint. On knife it makes you go faster than regular sprint

[hot hamlet]

my question was regarding to duelling sword

[plucky flax]

Its on par

But think of it like free stam

[hot hamlet]

okay so Im in meatgrinder and repeating this process

but do I need stamina regen to pull this move?

because my stamina doesnt start to replenish

when Im sliding

[plucky flax]

No you can still sprint with 0 stam

It's just slower sprint

[hot hamlet]

hmm

so then the point is to move more distance with less stamina consumed?

[plucky flax]

Cut the story short it does make you get from a to b faster if you do it

[hot hamlet]

yeah sounds useful

[plucky flax]

Also dodging bullet when sliding so it's also useful for running away

[hot hamlet]

yeah so does it matter which button to press sooner?

like releasing the attack then sliding

it needs to be perfectly timed?

[plucky flax]

Nah its very forgiving. Just slide after you release your left mouse button

[hot hamlet]

alright I guess Im doing it

dunno if I do it successfully tho

[potent echo]

Just zoom around the training area you'll get the hang of it

You basically won't lose stamina over time

It's alot easier if you have hold instead of toggle to crouch

I just tap the crouch button after attacking

[hot hamlet]

I just realized that I start sprinting as soon as I start sliding is that a bad thing?

should I wait for sliding animation

[potent echo]

No it's fine

I just hold sprint the whole time

I have like a really old clip of it uhhh

[plucky flax]

I use cheat mod to make me forward slide easier

[hot hamlet]

shift + control is very hard to manage in situations

[potent echo]

#psyker-class message

It got deleted

I bind crouch to mouse 4

You would normally press that button way too much

Probably more than block tbh

[hot hamlet]

maybe I can try that but idk I usually tend not to change defaults

also I have my nades on mouse 4

[potent echo]

I changed blitz to 3

I prefer 1/2/3 I'm just old fashioned 👴

[hot hamlet]

its hard to use knife throw for zealot

[potent echo]

True

[hot hamlet]

with those keybinds so mouse 4 fits perfectly

[wind spruce]

Trauma will be fine, it doesn't need quell cancelling

(That's what you meant right?)

[wind spruce]

Crouch/slide to space bar

Dodge to shift

Sprint to ctrl

[strong gulch]

Ye. Canceling the RMB/ secondary. Canceling is a notable increase to trauma, but it's def not needed.

[wind spruce]

Definitely a meaningful difference, especially if you aren't full charging

[plucky flax]

I use knife throw with g i think that's default blitz?

[wind spruce]

I never take my fingers off WAD

[strong gulch]

I don't recommend knife throw on mouse scroll.

Especially if it throws 2 knives even if you make sure it's only one click. 😭

[marble crater]

[uncut sinew]

crouch/slide on C, dodge on M4, sprint on shift

goated.

[marble crater]

Zealot looks nice, rest is slop

[strong gulch]

New slop?

Or still orc something or other?

[marble crater]

New (old) slop

[wispy bay]

I play with ESDF
ability on A
Blitz on H
weapon special G
Reload T
Quick switch W

It transfers some of the work from the index finger to the ring finger. Also easier to reach the right side of the board on other games.

[upper sun]

RAAAA NEW SLOP

[deft stump]

All bad.

[upper sun]

excuse me ill be the judge of that

[strong gulch]

I own these already.

[upper sun]

wow they fucking suck

the peesword skin is ok and cheap

but i dont play peesword

@buoyant maple peesword skin

[uncut sinew]

tiger pants back on shop when

[strong gulch]

I should clarify that I mean the psyker clothes is what I own. No way I'm buying a whole rotation.

[upper sun]

i want the chaplain masks from sm2

[strong gulch]

After ogryn update with everyone playing, if DT does NOT put the leopard print pants up then they made a HUGE mistake.

[uncut sinew]

agreed.

riots will start if no tiger pants

[cosmic sigil]

new drip?

[uncut sinew]

poopoo drip

[cosmic sigil]

noo

[uncut sinew]

yes

[strong gulch]

New rotation of repeats.

[uncut sinew]

love it.

[strong gulch]

Not even recolors.

[buoyant maple]

I have that and absolution cerulus

I prefer cerulus

[strong gulch]

Unless you count the psyker helm colors getting edited after buying it as a recolor.

I think it had something to do with lighting and shadow changes, but FS never bothered adjusting the colors back.

[upper sun]

🚬 they should have like a bargain bin

[uncut sinew]

all i want is my tiger pants and a black & purple FGS skin

[uncut sinew]

or like 3-5 random skins on weekly rotation

[upper sun]

id love a place where they bring back like 10 random cosmetics

[strong gulch]

They had green and purple revolver skins. So they CAN do those for FGS.

[upper sun]

not even full sets just random stuff from before 😭

[uncut sinew]

💯

[uncut sinew]

but WILL they?

in about 1-2 years, yes

[strong gulch]

No clue

Probably before they fix the fake +3 stam curios. Also probably before they fix cleave damage stat not working on flak.

[paper pawn]

All I ever want from the rotation is the Moebian Blaze Force Sword skin and I don't think it's ever gonna happen

[upper sun]

i think they did something with curios in a stealth patch or something

i got on my zealot yesterday and i found one of my curios randomly removed

[jovial juniper]

reveals buffs for Shredder Auto Pistol
Sells SAP skin

[strong gulch]

Oh? 👀

[upper sun]

idk how else to explain it

i havent played that zealot in a long time since yesterday and one curio was randomly missing

[marble crater]

Still going with that excuse I see

[upper sun]

yes

[deft stump]

It just happens.

[upper sun]

i dont 🐝 🍃 u

[deft stump]

I lost a curio on my Zealot before.

Build complained about something went wrong with one of them.

[upper sun]

theres a curio thief....

[strong gulch]

Maybe inventory order reset and you deleted something you didn't mean too?

*to

[deft stump]

I don't delete curios back then lul.

[upper sun]

🤔

idk

[marble crater]

That character felt neglected and deleted it, if you are not careful the weapons are next

[deft stump]

At that point in time, I only had a Zealot lmao.

[marble crater]

And now you mostly spam nades with your vet

[upper sun]

you and potato need to make ogryns

[deft stump]

Yes.

[marble crater]

They really do, the rework is soon

[deft stump]

WDYM? I have a lvl 8 Oggy I don't play.

[upper sun]

😭

[plucky flax]

Leopard print ogryn gucci pants? I have them they are peak

[upper sun]

level 8 is NOT enough

[deft stump]

You carrying?

Cos I hate playing Oggy rn.

[upper sun]

no

you carry

we play a normal private game then you and potato swap at the end

you dont have to play ogryn to level ogryn

just leave and rejoin with a new char at the end

[deft stump]

Nu. Potato, wanna just commit sudoku to twins for next 2 hours?

[upper sun]

😭 shameful

[jovial juniper]

Well if y'all need a fourth Oggy

Hmu in 8 hours

I will be on red ammo 75% of the match

[deft stump]

Nu. Bed early. Family stuff in like 12 hours.

I don't even have the ability to chug coffee like normies.

Unless I wanna nap for an extra 5 hours.

[marble crater]

5 hours is not a nap

[uncut sinew]

i saw them on the store when i first started, but didn't buy them because i didn't think i'd want to use money on this game

boy was i wrong

i regret my decision to not buy them to this day

[marble crater]

Sure would be nice if they didn't have a rotation and you could give fatshark your money whenever you felt like it, huh?

[uncut sinew]

yes.

petition to make this happen

[jovial juniper]

Yes indeed

I do feel like buying something for my ogryn

[deft stump]

I would be using Commissar set by now at that point.

[jovial juniper]

But at the same time I don't want to justify this store format

[deft stump]

They will get an arcana worth of money I'll scrounge up for.

[jovial juniper]

So I'm freemaxxing despite not wanting to

[deft stump]

I just spent the Imperium edition stuff atm lul.

[marble crater]

Whenever Darktide is not on Gamepass anymore I will also buy that

[deft stump]

Heh.

[copper jay]

FGS vs Force Sword Deimos Vs Force Sword Obscurus, what are your arguments for each ?

For a Blaze Voidblast/sometimes Rending Voidblast, build

[marble crater]

Deimos because it has more mobility than FGS and has great single target damage, which is what you generally want if you use voidblast staff

FGS is good, but Voidblast is already a less mobile staff, so I wouldn't also pick a less mobile melee weapon

[copper jay]

Thanks !

Yes FGS seems way better for gunker than staff Psyker

[marble crater]

I use it with EK sometimes, because EK is more mobile gameplay wise

And I think I will start using Deimos more instead of Dueling Sword, to prepare for the inevitable nerfs

[jovial juniper]

Knowing FS they'll nerf single target damage slightly
Then add better horde clear

[echo root]

Nerf Dueling Sword cleave

[deft stump]

That's fine. Not like it ever hit more than 2 enemies ever.

[jovial juniper]

I'm all in for it

4.5 cleave lights

When knife and taxes have 3 or less

Kinda weird

[echo root]

Yeah DS just has it all.

Should have stayed a Psyker exclusive weapon #changemymind

Very stupid giving it to Zealot and Vet.

[young summit]

Agree

[deft stump]

@paper dust Got home, silly girl ran up to me.

Took awhile before I remembered to post the lil gremlin so... lul.

[analog agate]

I have started running obscurus on my VB build and deimos on EK build in preparation for the ds nerf haha.

[deft stump]

I'm still Illisi or FGS depending for psyker anyway.

[patent mango]

lmao

[marble crater]

[analog agate]

Best psyker staff makes it so it isn’t slop

[marble crater]

Do I want a staff skin

[ebon sonnet]

I thought the staff skin doesn't grow back?

[patent mango]

i mean im not buying any comestic stuff cause no regional pricing anyways lol

[uncut sinew]

bought this the moment i saw it, no regrets, best staff skin imo

[analog agate]

I didn’t bother with weapon skins cause of weapon custom mod. But it was/is too unstable for me to use it

[uncut sinew]

same, i used to have it, not anymore though

crashes the game too often

[paper dust]

i find that mod make me crash the most

[young cliff]

What recon Mk and other guns are solid for a gunker?

[barren arch]

I really liked weapon customization but I got really frustrated with how often my game would crash with it

so I just stopped

[paper dust]

AH A SKAVEN

[barren arch]

besides, main reason I ran it was cus I wanted to give the Helbore a usable scope

[north tartan]

My weapon customization has only crashed my game twice and made my loading times bad

[barren arch]

scurry-flee coward, yes-yes

[paper dust]

that but shotty for slug special

[young cliff]

Isn't there a beta version on their discord that's Les prone to crash?

[analog agate]

I see we all have the same experience haha.

[paper dust]

https://tenor.com/view/bardin-slayer-vermintide-gif-24272560

[barren arch]

idk and idc, its not for me anymore, I've learned to aim with the Helbore default sights

[analog agate]

No matter which version I have used over the years. Game just crashed more

[barren arch]

but I do wish we get a longlas

[marble crater]

Do staff skins make you play better?

[barren arch]

yes

you should spend all your money now

[young cliff]

+20% more warp speed charge

[barren arch]

paint them all red so they charge faster

[analog agate]

That staff skin in the store right now is red which makes me go faster

[marble crater]

If it works for the Orks...

[fierce torrent]

I started recently leveling a psyker and Im going through this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959 nice stuff so far, but Im still a bit unsure what path follow and which skills use. Smite seems nice for CC, Ive tried some staffs like the inferno staff, the void and the electric one. Also,Ive been playing around with venting shriek and the bubble. The second is nice in because I mostly play on pugs and dropping the bubble in some situations is really nice on higher difficulties. Now, other than play what you enjoy, any recommendations?

[copper jay]

So you tried running obsucurs in real conditions ? How this is ?

[upper sun]

try new stuff AND play what you enjoy

[brazen rampart]

Obscurus is very good, actually better single target than deimos, imo, but deimos can push crushers over with the h2, so it's a pick your poison situation.

[wispy bay]

What do you mean "try". Obscurus is good.

[marble crater]

Unless what you enjoy is smite, then don't

[brazen rampart]

Obscurus can kill a crusher almost instantly. H1 and l3 need to land on headshots with some stacks of uncanny and boom, dead crusher.

[upper sun]

tru\

[wispy bay]

Deimos has the ease of use on single target and the H2 stagger is good, which makes it better than obscurus. Not everything is about damage.

[marble crater]

Deimos also looks better

[brazen rampart]

I never said obscurus was factually better, I just said it had better single target, in my opinion.

Deimos, you kinda gotta chase that ogryn to the floor to kill him after you h2 his noggin.

Obscurus just kills him.

[young cliff]

Both weapons are good in my experience, ttk is not so apart but obscurus will Def down things faster in my experience

[late sapphire]

Just mess around and have fun. The most important thing is player skill... there are some builds in the guide and in the build channel here you can try out and mess around with

Later on when you push the really high difficulties you can come back for a fully optimized build or whatever (there are quite a few, say, arcane elements like some talents outright not working etc) but until then it doesn't really matter

[potent lava]

smyker is useful boiz

[young cliff]

Question: what guns are good for gunker? Mk2 Las pistol and vrak Autogun seems good but what others are also good?

[late sapphire]

One of the recon lasguns is pretty good

[young cliff]

Tell that sparkhead It needs to connect it's controller

[late sapphire]

Revolver and Bolt Pistol are common too, but more as secondaries with the melee being primary

[brazen rampart]

Anything with high finesse per shot to be an armor deletion tool or anything that crits a lot to abuse ee.

Mk2 laspistol
Blue recon
Vraks inf autogun
Revolvers, both of them
Bistol (maybe)

[late sapphire]

I've also had fun with the shotguns

[brazen rampart]

Oh yeah shotguns are fun asf.

[late sapphire]

Some people (mostly zealot mains) swear by dbarrel + knife psyker

[analog agate]

H1L2L3 combo is wicked nasty for single target dmg. The horde clear is ok with slaughterer. Same as deimos.

I am seeing which one I like more overall. H2 on deimos can one shot a mutie easily but I dislike the stagger it does on crushers/maulers.

But yeah, obscurus is on par with deimos

[young cliff]

What Mk is the recon lasgun?

[brazen rampart]

I have no idea. It's the blue one.

[analog agate]

Bistol is good cause it buffs your assail and fgs with bleed

[prime elk]

I main mk vi for gunker

[brazen rampart]

Mk12.

[prime elk]

Mk XII slowdown on fire sucks

[brazen rampart]

Went on gameslantern and looked (assuming they updated the names)

[prime elk]

And not to mention Mk VI helps with gunker ammo economy

[brazen rampart]

You're gunker, you get a lot of speed increases if you play correctly.

[prime elk]

Yeah. I know.

[young cliff]

Yeah, idk how is the assail timing but I have done it with FGS

[brazen rampart]

20% on dd target kill and 20% on warp speed.

[young cliff]

That's something I had issues, I ran out of ammo quite easily with a torrent lasgun

Is the less rapid shooting an issue for infernus stacks?

[prime elk]

You'll stack slower but with SG not a big deal imo

And most shit is going to die super quickly anyway

[late sapphire]

Tbh

You can swap marks freely

Just try em out

All of the theorycrafting in the world cant compare to a few games using em

[prime elk]

I still think both are good, but I prefer Mk Vi for psyker whereas on vet it's a tossup

[young cliff]

Still have to make some upgrades to other stuff, but will give each MK a try

[late sapphire]

You should try out a scriers gaze voidstrike build

[young cliff]

I didn't have my hands on a void strike, should I use it like it's a gunker?

[late sapphire]

It's almost a gunker build, just swap out whatever gun specific talents for Warp Unbound and Warp Splitting... voidstrike benefits from all of the bonuses, particularly crits (with the Surge blessing)

[copper jay]

Wait DS was a psyker only weapon before ?

[analog agate]

Correct

[upbeat kestrel]

yes

[copper jay]

The best melee weapon was a Psyker weapon ???

[marble crater]

That was before we had more melee buffs in the talent tree

But yeah, giving it to veteran and especially zealot was a mistake

[north tartan]

I can see vet getting it, but why does zealot?

[prime elk]

It really flew under the radar before because most psykers back then couldn't find the 1 key on their keyboard

[marble crater]

Is that switching to melee? I don't have that on my controller either

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

It was pretty good on psyker

[prime elk]

Or whatever console players use to switch to melee

[marble crater]

Y is for switching to melee and changing from melee to ranged

[paper dust]

get trap

everyone dies

IMMEDIATLY

wtf fart shart

[prime elk]

Most staffkers prob never pressed that button back then

[analog agate]

They nerfed it after the big buff. It used to kill muties in one shot without (I believe) any buffs at all

Or was it muties along with some others like bulwarks got health increases during an update and ds was unchanged? I can’t remember

[marble crater]

Sometimes it's annoying having to press twice to get to your staff and I think I would also greatly enjoy the mods for guaranteed weapon changing

[weary idol]

I do not see the point of double barrel on psyker

because ironically their comically high damage and finesse boosts means the Zarona combat shotty does more or less the same thing

but with way more ammo, and better boss damage

[analog agate]

Double barrel was championed by paradise. I don’t know of other zealot players that use it.

[prime elk]

That has gotten me killed twice before I installed the mod

[marble crater]

Probably got me killed a few times as well, at the very least I lost a lot of health because of it

[plucky flax]

Beuh I started building my pc at 1 now it's nearly 7 and still not done. Food break

[marble crater]

Does it usually take that long to build a PC?

I have never built one

[upper sun]

it doesnt

[analog agate]

If you have never built one. Yea. It is a work shift affair. It takes 2-3 hours with experience

[upper sun]

agent is just paranoid and checking 4 times before doing anything

[marble crater]

I would probably do that too, he paid good money for it

Wouldn't want everything to catch on fire

[analog agate]

You get paranoid. Finish it. Realize you left the IO shield off. F

[marble crater]

Is that like the psyker bubble?

[fresh panther]

Shrimply build faster

[vernal frost]

make sure to get your hammer for putting in ram sticks

https://tenor.com/view/pc-gif-19276963

[fresh panther]

Leaving the protective plastic on the heatsink during assembly

[jovial juniper]

Thx I hate it

[analog agate]

You wouldn’t think it is a common thing. And yet, buildapc and pcmasterrace sure has a lot of posts with that haha

[fresh panther]

Yep a friend of mine building for the first time did it recently ⚰️

I forgot to plug my CPU pump in when I did my latest personal build, thankfully no real disassembly required for that one but it did scare the shit out of me seeing an i7-13700 running at 500mhz

[plucky flax]

Took me like 30 mins to put the cpu cooler on it was so hard

[marble crater]

[eager horizon]

Can someone remind me what the old Iconics for Psyker were pre class rework? And if any of them are still active as hidden passives?

[dull scroll]

cable management is the worst

[midnight hull]

did you ground yourself?

[dull scroll]

doesn't help those things are hard af and hurts your finger tips

[midnight hull]

also what are the specs?

[upper sun]

reminder to get windows 10 ltsc

[analog agate]

4900/9800x3d/64 gb ram. 1000 vs 1200 watt psu was what he was wondering a week ago or so

[marble crater]

I don't have answers, but I will reply in the hope that someone who does have answers sees this and helps

[plucky flax]

What's thay

[plucky flax]

What he said and 1200w psu

[analog agate]

Heyyo. We really do have twinsies build

[young cliff]

what blessings and perks are good on the Mk7 Taxe?

[marble crater]

We need a taxe role for people to ping

[young cliff]

a simple pin could serve...the one in it says is "outdated"

[plucky flax]

Do you play with ray tracing on?

[upper sun]

long term support version of windows

u can use it till 2027

windows 11 bad

[plucky flax]

No im buying windows 11

Wtf windows 10 in 2025

[upper sun]

noob

[analog agate]

Ya. I have everything maxed with dlss4. I get >120 fps besides beginning of vault map.

Caveat: I use frame gen. If you don’t use frame gen do ray tracing off

[upper sun]

the correct choice

[plucky flax]

I use frame gen too

[analog agate]

Then, yea. I go for pretty looking game

[clear heath]

okay but what will you do in 2028?

[upper sun]

switch to windows 10 ltsc iot which has support until 2035

[young cliff]

het folks, have you used Taxes? want suggestions for blessings and perks for it

[marble crater]

What is there to ray trace in Darktide, everything is so dark

[analog agate]

The lighting and mood is actually fantastic in this game haha. Especially with lights out. No joke.

[marble crater]

Here is a list of known taxe users, if you want to ping them or something #psyker-class message

[jovial juniper]

I don't because I don't like taxes

[marble crater]

There is one of them now

[jovial juniper]

But it's usually

Shred Brutal Momentum

Brutal Momentum Headtaker

Headtaker Shred

[midnight hull]

some 9800 are blowing up lately , might wanna be careful, but most claim its user error, so

[deft stump]

Black on black? I guess.

[analog agate]

You keep saying black on black. I don’t understand

[young cliff]

thanks, but i prefer not to ping ppl out of this stuff, still thanks mate

[marble crater]

I agree, lights out is my favorite modifier

[deft stump]

That's how the screen looks on Lights out for me./

I see nothing but the UI.

[analog agate]

Oh. Well, same at points. But since I am a psyker I just spam EK or use VB as flashlight

[deft stump]

Playing it is basically, blind memory of the map.

And ping spamming whenever it's safe to figure out what dangers is around since blind.

[crisp marsh]

Smite with venting shriek, is it viable on auric?

[jovial juniper]

Yes pretty much

[analog agate]

Yes. Very

[jovial juniper]

Smite until 86
Shriek

[proper osprey]

I’d rather do purg and venting

[crisp marsh]

Alr, im tryna adjust a support build, gonna go with a greatsword and either a inferno staff or elecro staff

[proper osprey]

Smiting everything nerfs zealot and vet

[proper osprey]

One moment

[deft stump]

Unless they only do it when it's an absolute dookshow.

[analog agate]

If you do smite/shriek I’d recommend electro staff to deal with single targets/bosses

[proper osprey]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d5cc452-6030-42a4-afe1-2b54e0c4337c/terrible-pysker-build @crisp marsh

This is what I’d run

[crisp marsh]

Thx, ill check it out

[proper osprey]

Yeah but people are still finding out about weaving

It’s really good if you do that

[marble crater]

That looks terrible

[proper osprey]

Or smiting disablers

[deft stump]

Like, if I know the risk of being overheaded is too high, I rather have them smited than anything.

[proper osprey]

Kf so mid

Er nerfs toughness

[marble crater]

Better than Warp Expenditure

[proper osprey]

I like having all sources of toughness

[marble crater]

I noticed with all those you can safely use ER

[proper osprey]

I love peril gain

I love my survivability

[marble crater]

That's fair

[proper osprey]

I always assume I’m gonna have to clutch and that’s what I came up with

[analog agate]

Wasted nodes in that build considering you will be proccing EE a lot

Aptly named though

[proper osprey]

I don’t like er because it only only nerfs my toughness but i can’t build it fast enough to make good use of quietude

[proper osprey]

Ok

[marble crater]

I would at least change warp expenditure to KF, because that really doesn't do a lot for toughness and you already have other toughness regen from kills and crits

[analog agate]

Only joking. Besides some nodes I would change it does hit all the good points

[marble crater]

The other two will give you so much that warp expenditure is redundant

[proper osprey]

Yeah you can really put it anywhere I just decided to choose that one

It kept me alive in tox gas and rager fun time

[marble crater]

That's good

[buoyant maple]

Drop warp expenditure for KF

[proper osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/wingsofredemption-wings-jordie-jordan-richard-look-here-look-listen-gif-3483833880634645957

[young cliff]

So using Assail paired with guns like shotgun or revolver feel like the right call to cover damage to (semi)fodder and use the gun as an elite/specialist killer, but not putting quick shards feels that in Auric difficulty it runs out too quick, and I really can't feel the impact of ethereal shards, what is the consensus on these nodes for assail?

[analog agate]

Taking Warp Splitting will give you the most impact for number or targets assail hits. You can add Ethreal if you have extra nodes. There is a table of the number of assails for everything. Can’t remember which guide/who posted it though

[young cliff]

So ethereal shards isn't that good, what about quick shards? That does feel like it is quite important

[analog agate]

I don’t use quick shards. I use assail as a weave blitz and only mass throw when i am in trouble or a lot of gunners.

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/random-bullshit-go-moon-knight-random-random-bullshit-gif-25725102

Assail be like

[deft stump]

It is good, if you use it to clear hordes.

More stuff getting poked in the head per toss gud.

[young cliff]

Was trying to pair it with the "you don't explode for a while" node for gaze, to really save ammo and keep the revolver to one shot the crushers and other nasty jerks that's supposed to take care

Maybe with shotgun I can get away with just using assail base since it could have more ammo (combat) or could be used to clear hordes (doubleB)

[raven mountain]

If I'm bothering with assail's opportunity cost, then I'm going to go for the extra pierce and warp splitting.

[young cliff]

Extra pierce+warp splitting is better than quick shards then?

[raven mountain]

I also tend to dump them because in my scrier's builds, I dump with max peril. And in the one build I take assail but not scrier's, I use it as a priority weapon and dump as well. But without scrier's, I also take the extra shard recharge.

If you're doing the scrier's thing, then you're not going to be worrying about the recharge because you'll barely use them outside that dump moment.

[clear heath]

I don't bother with extra pierce ever since warp splitting got added
They hit plenty of targets with just splitting. Might not even find enough targets to make use of the pierce node at that point

[raven mountain]

I mean, hordes I play against have more than 5 or 6 guys.

[clear heath]

yeah but if you're dumping assails, a bunch of them will be dying as you throw them out

[marble crater]

Throw more Assail

[dry ivy]

question soyker chat

[raven mountain]

Yeah. Throw until the horde is gone. It is literally a damage multiplier for your dps while using assail.

[dry ivy]

venting shriek, does it open up bulwark shields or no

i forgor

[marble crater]

I don't know, and I always play with shriek

[raven mountain]

I mean, it's not a make or break thing to have more piercing. But hordes are thick as you move up in difficulty, and more damage per throw is more horde killed.

[marble crater]

But I am a psyker so I also don't really care about bulwark shields anyway

[raven mountain]

It might at full stacks. I think it is a stronger push at higher peril. But I almost never use it for that purpose.

So I'm not sure enough to say without checking.

[marble crater]

I want to say it doesn't

[clear heath]

I mainly use assails for rager packs or spread out shooters, not for trash hordes.
I'm not even convinced the assails will last long enough to hit 7 or so shooters if they're too far apart

[raven mountain]

Yeah. Your use case makes sense.

[clear heath]

If you specifically want horde dps, i get it

[young cliff]

I'm not sure if it's the push that breaks them or damage from it + allies that do the trick, I don't recall them staggering when the Shrek hits but afterwards

[raven mountain]

In my non-scrier's it's my primary horde counter. Bistol and DS4 don't cut it.

See horde, spam assail, shriek at 86. Horde solved, and likely flak in the horde too.

Bistol for snap sniping. Bistol+assail weave for harder targets to save ammo.

Ds4 on armor and ragers. Bistol weave with melee for bleed on monsters.

Maybe I pull that build out again. It always felt good to run. I'm just stuck on fgs variants rn.

[marble crater]

Damn FGS, why did it have to be so fun

[young cliff]

I have 3 versions of FGS for different purposes builds, that satisfying is to build and use that weapon

[raven mountain]

Yeah. Love it with EK, with Bistol, with reconlas, with any of the abilities and blitzes.

I even have 3 variants for how much peril I want to spend. 31WR, 60WR, and 80WR

[young cliff]

I always have WR as dump, just swapped blessings for more horde clear, crit specialization or raw weak spot damage.

[raven mountain]

Well, I have some shriek builds where the 31WR allows for 90% peril in two throws. (gives some leeway for cooldown before falling under 86%)

And I use the 80% on memey warpshock slash spam builds or the odd scrier's so I can keep my peril lower, longer.

In case I need to throw it out during scrier's or to keep my peril lower before going into scrier's.

[deft stump]

Force push Bulwarks.

[marble crater]

I force push you into the next barrel

[deft stump]

Though I just EK with unyielding them to death instead.

[deft stump]

You meanie, you bulli.

[marble crater]

I need to do it for my penance "Kill 50 teammates with barrels"

[raven mountain]

This game would feel terrible with normal friendly fire.

But I loved the more controlled squad tactics in alien fire team. Setting up defenses and firing lanes.

[marble crater]

Yesterday I barreled myself on Gloriana, because I played zealot for the first time in months and I wasn't used to how long the relic blade is

[deft stump]

I thought you use FGS? Nub.

[raven mountain]

I have a bad habit of blowing barrels because of warpshock spam.

It's so fat that you kinda can't help it. I just try to get ahead and blow barrels before we get there.

[marble crater]

Not that often and not recently

[raven mountain]

Blasphemy. Fgs is love. Fgs is life.

[marble crater]

Or Inferno, because the hitbox is a bit bigger than the visual

[raven mountain]

Same with voidblast.

[deft stump]

I'm a vet main, if 'nades could set off barrels, it would be chaos.

[young cliff]

Nades don't make barrels explode?!

[marble crater]

Playing with you is already chaos

[deft stump]

From what I see, they never do.

[young cliff]

What the warp?

[raven mountain]

Not smokes!

[deft stump]

I play with Chaos though. So more Chaos?

[raven mountain]

Just double smokes and it'll always be fine.

[young cliff]

[raven mountain]

If there isn't smoke, drop smoke.

[deft stump]

Grenadier but you have smokes, yes.

[raven mountain]

Gotta pretend you're in an obscura den at all times.

[deft stump]

Everyone is now blind.

Congratulations, now the game is melee only for all parts, FIGHT!

Mom, we want melee only scabs... No, we have melee only at home.

My GPU has rainbow lights. My case is opaque.

Toxic people are already toxic. You really have to look at the people who are actually non-toxic because they don't have scoreboard, which I'm not sure is all that big of a group.

I feel like the base scoreboard just doesn't do it, and it has those weird made-up scores that don't mean anything.

[autumn moth]

detailed stats is just reading tea leaves but with greater confidence

[plucky flax]

Need glass case to see rgb

[deft stump]

I don't care though.

[plucky flax]

Okay boomer

[marble crater]

You can only say that if you are younger than her

[analog agate]

Boomer is an attitude. Not an age

[deft stump]

He might be, is he? I never asked.

[marble crater]

Okay boomer

[deft stump]

But probably if younger than 30.

[plucky flax]

[celest valve]

when everyone else dies and at the scoreboard in the end: zero blocks

[crisp marsh]

Me playing darktide with a gtx 950 💀

[marble crater]

Who needs blocks when you can dodge everything?

[celest valve]

the dead psyker

[marble crater]

Impossible, we have shield and EE

and smite

[celest valve]

well maybe they would be alive if they right clicked once with a melee weapon

[analog agate]

I actually do rarely block with VB staff.

[patent mango]

no devblog today i think.......

[analog agate]

They still got time. What is it? 1-2 hours before midnight for them

[marble crater]

1 yeah

I wouldn't count on it

[copper jay]

Please no

Taxe is for Tactical axe ?

[strong gulch]

Yes

[marble crater]

Why not

[copper jay]

I thought Taxe was a word for "dont tag someone"

[marble crater]

[burnt breach]

So what’s the sprint speed when you are on your blitz?

[upper sun]

[upper sun]

[jovial juniper]

[marble crater]

Okay

[deft stump]

Ainz is helping ppl, so is all good.

[upper sun]

hes pretty good

he helped me get flesh wound and hard mode twins

[jovial juniper]

I'll be generous and help Ainz with their Hard Mode ranking

https://tenor.com/view/marvel-humble-drax-dave-bautista-guardians-of-the-galaxy-gif-14242314

(Aka ask Ainz to play hard mode with me)

[fiery stratus]

Anyone wanna do mostly melees maelstrom

[wispy bay]

Sure

[fiery stratus]

[wispy bay]

Time to bonk with shock maul

[deft stump]

Have to go out soon so no.

Though I'll ruin it with krak spam anyway.

[fiery stratus]

[deft stump]

Lethal prox krak spam.

[fierce surge]

Trying out blaze force great sword, the blessing wrath, if I use the swords special cut air does the cleave boost it through hordes?

[marble crater]

That's already cleaving everything anyway

Should still use wrath though

[strong gulch]

No. The FGS special has infinite cleave. It can even go through walls.

It has damage fall off though.

If you take FGS into havocs, wrath is very important.

Otherwise if you talent tree has warp splitting, wrath isn't needed.

That being said, when in doubt, just put wrath on it.

[broken carbon]

wrath tuah

cleave on that thang

[marble crater]

I forgot how much fun it is to knock crushers and maulers on their ass with the deimos h2

[strong gulch]

Chunky thwack sound too.

[deft stump]

Someone questioned my Wrath on it. Lul.

[strong gulch]

I usually run FGS with gun and get warp splitting, so I often have a crit blessing with unstable.

That being said, I suck with FGS.

BUT even not being great with it is still effective because FGS strong.

[deft stump]

Deflector Wrath.

[strong gulch]

Havoc coded.

[deft stump]

Nu. Tank DH build.

[marble crater]

If they nerf dueling sword and I use only force swords anymore I could actually use deflector

[dull scroll]

if they nerf ds I have deimos to fall back on, blessed 😌

[raven mountain]

Even if they nerf it, it'll still do exactly what I want it to do. Provide me with Agile and give me funny dodges.

But if they come for my FGS, there'll be blood.

https://tenor.com/view/stare-scary-weird-crazy-talk-crazy-gif-17004827

[strong gulch]

nerf DS and boost FGS movement and dodges

[raven mountain]

let fgs wave do up to the 6 stacks of warpfire

and make it on crit, then you suddenly have an alternate build. The 15s auto-crit wave and burning spirit rather than the cleave+damage regular swing build.

[strong gulch]

The on crit SB mechanic actually makes sense for FGS.

On crit for regular force swords... 😭

[raven mountain]

at least the regular force swords can stack to like 12 or whatever. 6 feels so bad.

Plus, it's not like most things can even survive 4 crits from fgs besides captains and monsters.

[strong gulch]

They can def stack to 12, but rarely does that happen. It's almost like a fable or a myth. Maybe in havocs.

Must survive crit. K, let me dump damage and finesse.

[raven mountain]

Nah. Need finesse for attack speed

First Target dump

I think I have something that'll make you proud.

Threw a million at it and got that.

[strong gulch]

It's beautiful. ✨

[deft stump]

It did nothing.

[hardy coral]

Braced autogun on Psyker is kinda cursed, its not that good nor is it bad.

[prime elk]

Sounds like a terrible idea tbh

[strong gulch]

bad

do it if you want but it is poopie

[wispy bay]

If you save assails for long range and use gun for elite horde, it should be fine.

[hardy coral]

thats what im doing, along with Scrier's Gazze

[prime elk]

[hardy coral]

its not a build im going to use always, im just bored, plus its not bad at clearing hordes or elites either.

[patent mango]

braced autogun is one of the guns for sure

[prime elk]

exec stance + graia braced is actually pretty fuckin good

but braced on psyker? 🤮

[raven mountain]

Shush. It was glorious. Plus, I was using it on an EP BB build, which also does nothing. xD

[hardy coral]

• the 100% cleave scaling with peril.

[deft stump]

So double nothing. I can't carry or clutch on my psyker at all, especially with ping lag.

[raven mountain]

Man. Now you got me needing to prove it as good.

[potent echo]

Psyker braced

[hardy coral]

thats actually so sad, making it halfway through an Auric Mealstrom as a Psyker and still noone joined.

sry if this isn't allowed...streaming now https://www.twitch.tv/gogu7382

going for Auric Storm Survivor penance

[feral carbon]

btw, does warp splitting still affect assail?

[prime elk]

yeh

[hardy coral]

i have made it worse.... Double Barrel shotgun Psyker.

[raven mountain]

Sword is fine

Just needed crit build to enable it

Meme blaze sword+BB(kf)+voidblast. Only whipping out the voidblast when I have guaranteed crit or when there's a crusher/bulwark in front of me. Mostly just churned through things on my own.

[dull scroll]

muahahahah

[deft stump]

Need crits. Hrm.

[cloud night]

All 60 done
Cliffhanger was a nuisance

[raven mountain]

Nice!

[crisp marsh]

congrats :D

[cloud night]

Much obliged

[nocturne dust]

good luck with the other classes, they're worse imo

[plucky flax]

I gave up on ogryn penances

[potent echo]

Why, do you not have fun shooting 5000 lucky bullets

[deft stump]

Need a survivalist vet to hug you for extra ammo?

[cloud night]

Tbf most those penances i have done were a
"Fuck it, they'll prob get done as i go"

For the otber classes

Fuck armourbane and the 150 or so backstabs and 500 throwing knife kills tho

[deft stump]

Ehm. Kill 40 enemies while they are stunned in 10 secs.

[nocturne dust]

Kinda easy

[dull scroll]

other than the 2 private game penances the rest you play enough you just get it

[deft stump]

Rest are grindy, but this... this takes the cake trying it solo.

[cloud night]

Havent tried that but I assume its a nuisance

[patent jacinth]

500 tknives kills is easy

You just play with them

[deft stump]

And throw at random.

[patent jacinth]

And if you’re building zealot right good fucking gods are you playing them

[upbeat kestrel]

Same with armour bane

[dull scroll]

knives is also the best nade on zealot, very blessed

[cloud night]

Idc, easy or not, tedium often drives boredom

[nocturne dust]

Launch solo auric -> get rid of bots -> wait for horde -> spam stun -> delete horde -> success

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-spiderverse-into-the-spiderverse-spider-noir-spidergwen-gif-26876252

[deft stump]

And 3 ppl drop in cos auric.

[nocturne dust]

solo auric

meaning get Many More Try

[deft stump]

The only place where there's ppl.

[dull scroll]

wait, what you mean solo, can you do penance in that mod?

[nocturne dust]

and use expired mission

[patent jacinth]

It’s no more than 50 games of damn running optimal pathing and not playing out of your way

You just get that one by playing

[nocturne dust]

No, you don't use the solo mod

[cloud night]

Again, ask me if I care

[nocturne dust]

You use Many More Try and a mission expired for 8+ hours

[deft stump]

And how would a console gamer do it then?

[nocturne dust]

Perish

[dull scroll]

ohhh you queue in mission codes not on rotation anymore gotcha

[nocturne dust]

Imagine being a console gamer in the year of our PC, 40k

The God Emperor is a pcmasterrace guy 🙏

[weak brook]

I want to react to that with chad ogren, but i'm on xbox

[deft stump]

@marble crater Someone is basically mocking console gamers.

[nocturne dust]

In seriousness, my advice never applies to consoles
