Idk what’s the point of it

“Stand in one place grinding baddies” seems kinda dull

It was a civi so numbers get a little higher than a normal mission

O.o I was asking cause vendor was selling it

Dueling Sword has a lot more mobility and easier combo against armored targets, Force Swords can have deflector to block bullets and have a nice push attack

The in game name has 2 L's

Both are right, one of those British vs. American English things

plucky flax

i am SO hype for the ogryn update

#

the amount of improvement from the psyker tree to the ogryn tree is exponential

they finally learned how to make a good tree

upper sun

ikr

#

very few slop talents and free blitz choice

#

its so peak...

upper sun
#

🚬 i wonder how long its gonna be until psyker vet and zealot get the same treatment

patent mango
#

psyker will get it last probably

upper sun
#

since its a bigger part of the class identiy

patent mango
#

cause psyker tree is the least abysmal psyker can survive getting like 1 or 2 tlaent changes every once in a while

upper sun
#

ye

patent mango
#

zealot on the otehr hand lmfaooo

like at the very least they can do 1 or 2 small changes

I was thinking abt it today actually

you gotta admit tho

#

that would be a huge improvement

I have some talent change ideas

and structural changes to tree

upper sun

do it

#

when beg a playtester to send it to the devs KEKW_ogryn

true

plucky flax
#

Free rocks Pogryn

my idea is that they should move some power from shout to talents

#

but idk

upper sun

#

It's mostly will be for missed rocks.

#

Aiming rocks headshot takes too long tbh.

patent mango
#

i mean its faster now

plucky flax
#

Like when a mutie charging at you you not gonna aim head.

patent mango
#

like a bit faster to switch

plucky flax

Ye but I have never really tried to aim head unless I am rocking a reaper.

upper sun

but its great on bosses

@upper sun @analog agate I made an oggy

does it stagger boss i dont rember

HELL YEAH

if i finish early we can play

i can hop on for ogryn gaming

i'm not really a fan of serrated blade being locked under smoke

#

no one's gonna pick it

buoyant maple
#

but essentially

#

out for blood is getting changed

#

gain X% toughness per hit vs bleeding enemy

brazen rampart
buoyant maple
#

this gives veteran an option to gain toughness in combat without kills

brazen rampart
#

Also locking serrated blade under smoke is yeesh.

upper sun
clear heath
#

I like stacking serrated blade with shredder nades is the thing

brazen rampart
#

Well actually you can still grab it.

brazen rampart
upper sun
#

yes

#

FREE BLITZ NOW

buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

Path is cooking so far, I just dislike the placement of close order drill rn.

buoyant maple
#

u can still get close order with VoC

#

u just can't take close order on the way to VoC

#

also another talent change

#

killzone

brazen rampart
#

Now what is your rework of competitive urge?

buoyant maple
#

for 5s after ranged weakspot kill, gain +20%Rdmg

brazen rampart
#

Because that talent sucks.

clear heath
brazen rampart
#

Those talents are on the same level.

clear heath
#

no but there's no sideways connector between them

buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

Scuse me leave no one behind.

buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

I mix those up alot.

brazen rampart
buoyant maple
#

serrated blade is intentionally blocked off from shredder

#

because of my planned O4B change

brazen rampart
#

I was thinking it was locked under smokes but you've got a path between serrated blade and leave no one behind.

upper sun
buoyant maple
brazen rampart
buoyant maple
#

prob 5%

#

so this means if u take O4B, serrated gives u non-kill-based melee toughness gain

clear heath
buoyant maple
clear heath
#

serrated blade requires going up from competitive urg to leave no one behind

buoyant maple
#

they're mutually exclusive

clear heath
#

this kills my bleed build...

brazen rampart
#

They are on the same level, they cost the same amount of points.

buoyant maple
#

can't be accessed from shredder

brazen rampart
#

Ou that's what you meant.

clear heath
#

but how do you reach leave no one behind if you:re starting from shredder?

brazen rampart
#

That doesn't matter much tbh.

buoyant maple
#

if u have O4B

#

u either have shredder for bleed

brazen rampart
#

Shredders are op enough that you don't really need them for a build to take serrated blade.

buoyant maple
#

or serrated

#

one is more consistent than the other

#

but shredder also does AoE for u

brazen rampart
#

Path you're forgetting the loveliest blessing of all...

buoyant maple
#

so they're made mutually exclusive

clear heath
#

stacking up shredder bleed with serrated was like the only fun usecase of serrated though

brazen rampart
#

Lacerate knife...

clear heath
#

i am not touching lacerate

brazen rampart
#

And he's making serrated have a use.

#

Serrated enables o4b toughness generation.

upper sun
buoyant maple
#

it would be a really strong combination

clear heath
#

I'm more annoyed with a playstyle disappearing than about whether or not it's strong

buoyant maple
#

it's ok

clear heath
#

yeah sure, toughness on hitting bleed can be strong

brazen rampart
#

A playstyle isn't "disappearing" if the playstyle never existed in the first place.

clear heath
#

it's just that boosting bleed stacks is fun

brazen rampart
#

You just like the haha funny max bleed stacks.

buoyant maple
upper sun
buoyant maple
#

anyways if my design looks funny

#

it's because I'm listening to Ave Mujica

brazen rampart
#

The design is fine.

#

I just don't like close quarters killzone being locked way over there.

#

Seems counterintuitive to the ranged playstyle of left side.

#

Honestly, I'd put iron will over there instead.

buoyant maple
#

I didn't add CQKZ yet

#

or iron will

brazen rampart
#

Oh oops I meant the tdr one.

#

The more tdr for more allies in coherency.

clear heath
#

I think locking builds behind grenade choices is like the main complaint of vet and zealot tree and this one locks out nodes even harder behind nade choices

brazen rampart
#

The names are similar.

#

Close order drill.

brazen rampart
buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

^

#

Too many talents with too few functions.

#

Also you gimp yourself if you don't take iron will so that's a mandatory point tax.

#

Anyway @buoyant maple I would put iron will where close order drill is and put close order drill in the middle pathing somewhere.

buoyant maple
autumn lark
#

i think the vet tree needs to be reworked so the keystones are actualy important to get

buoyant maple
#

u also have to consider that

brazen rampart
#

I would also change iron will.

buoyant maple
#

the top half actually gives u quite a bit of TDR already

#

exhilarating takedown + x85% TDR

brazen rampart
#

Make it only affect ranged attacks, or significantly nerf its effectiveness against melee.

brazen rampart
buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

You pay point tax by not pathing tknives because second wind is the only viable toughness generation zealout has.

#

It's not that tknives are overly good like voc is, it's the talents above them.

buoyant maple
#

iron will is basically enduring faith but worse lol

brazen rampart
#

Also we do have talent bloat in zeal tree, look at middle tree and right tree talents above their auras.

cosmic sigil
cosmic sigil
#

What I wanted to say is that not taking that route is taxing you

brazen rampart
#

So its either
A) path tknives
Or
B) suffer a 4 point tax to get decent toughness gen

buoyant maple
cosmic sigil
#

They could fix a lot of things by changing just that part in the tree

buoyant maple
clear heath
#

The good parts of the ogryn rework tree is the freedom to create your own playstyle.
This proposed vet tree just turns it into 3 separate builds

cosmic sigil
#

Because nobody would take smokes maybe?

clear heath
#

then why lock survivalist away from smokes?

buoyant maple
still valve
patent mango
#

does zealot even have talents

brazen rampart
cosmic sigil
#

Let's be real. Vet's and zealot's tree are relic of the past

patent mango
#

those are more like built in passives

cosmic sigil
#

They will certainly change and look more like ogryn's or psyker's

clear heath
#

I think i'd rather the nades get balanced rather than locking nodes behind smoke because it's "weaker"

patent mango
#

why do smoke nades exist

buoyant maple
buoyant maple
brazen rampart
#

Smoke Grenades are also inherently kinda bad because of how enemies handle shooting at you.

#

Actually that's not right.

upper sun
#

replace smokes with mines

brazen rampart
#

I meant to say there are counterintuitive.

#

You would normally throw a smoke (irl at least) for concealment to flee or reposition to better handle an enemy position, and people use it this way.

#

When in reality it's better to smoke the enemy in the game than yourself.

clear heath
#

This just restricts freedom so much.
Like someone who wants smokes + exec has to grab a very specific set of 6 nodes

brazen rampart
#

TITANFALL 2 IS 3 DOLLARS

#

WHAT

#

YOINK

upper sun
#

its not darktide tho

clear heath
#

You've made 6 point mandatory tax for exec + smoke

brazen rampart
#

Yeah, it's better.

upper sun
#

🚬 fine lemme sell some slop

brazen rampart
#

@buoyant maple on the topic of exe stance, could you propose a rework to the outline to more easily see what is and isn't obscured by cover?

patent mango
#

y'know i just remembered i said i'd hop on darktide but i forgor and im playing grounded now

buoyant maple
clear heath
patent mango
#

does anyone even use smoke

#

like ever

clear heath
#

I honestly think smoke + exec is a cooler combo than stealth + smoke and i hate how much fatshark discourages it

#

stealth + smoke is some backwards shit anyways

autumn lark
#

I genuinely want vet to get remote detonated charges or indeed mines

patent mango
#

why does vet also have stealth anyways

clear heath
#

doubling up on them not being able to see me is so fucking weird as a concept

patent mango
#

the entire right side is fricked other than wep specialist hwich is good

brazen rampart
buoyant maple
#

right side has some insane picks

clear heath
#

lets turn invisible after blinding people
lets blind them when i'm invisible
yeah really synergistic concept

autumn lark
#

Right side vet is strong asf

clear heath
#

smoking and sniping them out with exec at least makes sense conceptually.

#

(also helps with the fact that i can't fucking see with the smoke)

brazen rampart
#

I would make exposed parts of enemies stay the gold outline but anything behind cover be outlined in red.

patent mango
#

ig the talents r good at least

autumn lark
#

Would never take smokes tho

#

Krak grenades exist

buoyant maple
#

smoke in middle, krak on right

clear heath
#

hmm, not sure.
I'm open to the idea

autumn lark
buoyant maple
clear heath
#

I just think locking things arbitrarily behind grenades is bad in general

autumn lark
#

Sometimes i can read

clear heath
#

Whole point of having the tree instead of just 3 different subclasses with the old feat system is to have the freedom to choose between ability/keystone/blitz while still having meaningful choices in between

buoyant maple
#

increased stagger from detonation
infinite stamina while concealed (stamina locked at 100%)

patent mango
#

make smokes cleansing poison

clear heath
#

that could be really fun

patent mango
#

lmao

#

soap smooke

buoyant maple
#

so if smoke is in middle that means u could

autumn lark
#

Smokes are now green

buoyant maple
#

block indefinitely

patent mango
#

no thats tox

autumn lark
#

And will play skrillex

clear heath
#

I think smokes having more stagger would automatically make it 10000% more usable by most normal players

buoyant maple
#

and slightly more importantly

#

u have infinite deadshot while inside smoke

buoyant maple
clear heath
#

the knife push attack spam going crazy

autumn lark
#

Being inside of smoke now gives you the same effect as infiltrate

#

Increase smoke radius by 50%

buoyant maple
#

ok version 2

autumn lark
#

Field improv being the first talent

buoyant maple
#

yea that was intentional

upper sun
#

no single node after blitz thumbsdown_ogryn

buoyant maple
clear heath
#

He just wants a connector for it

#

doesn't matter what

buoyant maple
#

I'm not against the idea

upper sun
#

i want to be able to pick shredders with serrated blade

patent mango
#

hecking movement speed lmao

buoyant maple
#

but idk which existing talent is good for that role

clear heath
#

I assume the same reason as I have, about not having arbitrary restriction on the rest of the tree for picking a nade

autumn lark
#

Hey uh path

cosmic sigil
autumn lark
#

Can you bundle up all grenade talents into the middle tree

autumn lark
#

I do not want that point tax just for twinned blast if im using kraks

upper sun
#

yeah

#

say no to taxes kids

buoyant maple
#

twinned blast is shredder exclusive

clear heath
#

Okay tbf twinned blast on anything but shredders is kinda weird

buoyant maple
#

exactly

clear heath
#

the shit doesn't really function with smokes at all too

autumn lark
#

Then make it function

clear heath
#

although kraks it at least has some use against a boss

autumn lark
#

I love using twinned blast with kraks

buoyant maple
#

krak gets grenadier

#

+1 reserve

upper sun
#

ehm ehm

patent mango
#

thats so many connectors LOL

upper sun
#

heh

clear heath
#

that's just one extra node connecting them all

upper sun
#

just like my charging station

buoyant maple
#

I need a better software to make this

#

I'm doing it in MS word and it's pure agony

autumn lark
#

Adobe photoshop premium

clear heath
#

But yeah, i'm in the same boat with wanting a connector
Because I don't think it's fair to have 6 mandatory nodes between nade and ability if you dare to have an unapproved blitz/ability combo.
6 less decisions that you are allowed to make in a tree for having the audacity to want 2 things

Why do these people want to play alone so much staregryn

Because people hate themselves

No seriously

People complain about quickplay players

They honestly think they will do better alone KEKW_ogryn

Maybe they want something like Vermintide 2 instead of true solo

They want to play with bots

Fellow sibligns, how would one go around to use the Trauma Staff? Never really saw the appeal on it but i want to try a build with it

potent echo

Trauma lets you render any melee threat helpless (except bosses)

trauma can deal with crushers/bulkwarks, which is its main appeal, very blessed 😌

Sounds like a personal problem tbh

They should git gud with reg games and wouldn't need to rely on a "true solo" mod

get a false solo mod

wait that makes no sense

relying on a true solo mod is just doing it higher diff

it proves skill is some cases and feels like a different game at times

and its fun to get big damage numbers when solo

#

this was a failed run

strong gulch
#

I'd like a solo mode. You can just mess around and test stuff without bothering other people's play. Don't even have to finish a map. You can just experiment at your own pace.

Also, if you have a hectic environment with like pets, kids, or you're waiting on something, you can just quit with without the guilt/ mental barrier about how you are affecting the team or not commit to 20+ minutes of play.

#

You can be far more sweaty or way more chill in solo. lmao

can't crit a build unless we know what foundation to start with, you trying to make a voidstrike build?

or FGS

lilac summit

thats fair yeah

tender stirrup
#

i normally run voidstrike

dull scroll
#

but whatever the build, I'm pretty sure not running EP with BB applies, especially if you've already got this

tender stirrup

so dont run empowered psyonics?

lilac summit
#

empowered psionics is terrible

#

imho

tender stirrup
#

damn, i thought it was pretty decent

dull scroll
lilac summit

i guess its ok if you are going for a brain burst focussed build

EP is not horrible with BB on lower difficulties

but there are better options

would warp charges be better?

# tender stirrup https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e7d46da-f5a1-4f13-abeb-5e6c48f69eb4/ps...

This is the kind of build that will get torn apart here. In good and sometimes mean spirited ways. If you can get the content fine and you have fun with this then keep doing it.

That being said, you're leaving a crits and damage on the table. BB and voidstrike have a lot of overlap. If you want an EP BB build, doing double wall will stack KR more. DD and true aim will buff all of your kit (BB can crit but can stack true aim). Perfect timing and no PC just leaves damage on the table.

As long as you play well, it doesn't matter what you take. Some of the best players take questionable af builds.

lilac summit

anything else you are better off using either of the other two keystones

tender stirrup
drifting steeple
#

which keystone for smite, then?

lilac summit
#

smite doesnt need anything

#

just pick smite and enjoy endless cc

EP only buffs blitz. BB falls off with a competent team.

strong gulch

ah

i wouldve thought that was one of the better ones

A lot of psyker's kit revolves around edging peril plus there is peril mitigation down the tree that is consistent.

dull scroll

a lot of talents aren't bad, it's just what you are missing out if you picked those

tender stirrup
#

i cleary have not been running an optimised build lol

lilac summit
#

for psyker pretty much anything goes

#

imho

#

its more about gameplay than build

#

although you can make some dogwater ass builds on psyker

#

with the amount of useless nodes

tender stirrup
#

its the only class im actually decent at

lilac summit

thats great

#

i feel like thats usually the one people struggle with

am i just cooked?

ive spent around 170 of my 300 hours of my time on psyker, i would certainly hope im at least decent by now

pfft, go play a meta zealot build and you'll just walk auric like a park

i remember i queue up 3 psyker and ogryn myself, i have to protect them and i failed. because there's two smyker

nocturne dust
# drifting steeple why is it bad? im curious

Empowered Psionics only benefits blitzes, and most blitzes aren't things you have out a ton of the time. Blitzes aren't main weapon material if you're going for effectiveness. So, you aren't using EP most of the time when instead you could have Warp Siphon for tons of ability cooldown or Disrupt Destiny for tons of extra damage.

EP fights DD for Assail and barely wins out (as long as you're only looking at Assail and not the rest of the kit), so DD is generally favored.
EP brings a very bad blitz (Brainburst) to mediocre when combined with other talents, but it eats a lot of points just to make a bad thing okay so it's not a great choice.
EP with smite is... well, smite is strong, and it's good at cascading elite kills for vent/perilous combustion fire spreading, but it's also an incredibly boring, slow, and unreactive style of play where you just look in a single direction while holding down keys and hope nothing hits you from behind. It's not actually more effective than the meta strats anyway, just incredibly easy to pull-off.

Trauma Staff i was not familiar with your game

paper harbor
#

Run with Electrokinetic staff

#

It kill horde much faster

#

With Smite*

nocturne dust
#

EK staff prefers shriekspam with warp siphon

paper harbor
#

When my EP is have charges

paper harbor
#

Killing elite and special are for my EK

nocturne dust
#

You want psykinetics and warp siphon

#

Kill elites/specials with EK, kill everything else with shriek

#

Never need smite

#

But that's not to say you can't play the way you want to

drifting steeple
#

i love all the psyker blitz

paper harbor
#

I get that with effective build for maximums dmg to be top score board, I make to be electro man

nocturne dust
#

I would like BB if it was worth anything at higher difficulties

paper harbor
#

Spider-man electro theme

paper harbor
#

And dueling sword over Deimos I can’t keep up combo poke and heavy poke

#

BB for purgatus is great if your team doesn’t deal ranger enemy

nocturne dust
#

Even on Inferno, BB is still bad. It's just chosen because of what's around it, and not what it is.

paper harbor
#

Or threat like scab/dreg bomb, sniper

#

Because they too busy with lock on melee

nocturne dust
#

I mean, between BB and assail, I would pick assail every time if they both led to the same nodes

paper harbor
#

I find BB with Kinetic flayer combine purgatus proc lighting strike with gamble luck

nocturne dust
#

I mean, KF is great

#

but KF is literally not using BB KEKW_ogryn

paper harbor
#

And I have the what’s the kill initiate soul flame on elite kill?

nocturne dust
#

and also superior to BB because it accounts for weapon blessings

lilac summit
#

remember the brainburst flamethrower?

#

that was great

nocturne dust
paper harbor

As I said when teammate doesn’t deal ranged enemy I have to do the chore

nocturne dust
#

sure

paper harbor
nocturne dust
#

that doesn't make it good, tho

Yeah I think with bb and combustion I will leave them on fire marking their position

Rather killing using PCombustion just marking them

after this discussion im not sure about ep vs warp charges for smite

nocturne dust

I mean, if you're focused on smite, EP

but you shouldn't be focused on smite

#

well, "shouldn't" if you are a meta munchkin

drifting steeple
#

how do i get the penance then staregryn

nocturne dust
#

which penance

drifting steeple
#

specialist/elite kills w ep

nocturne dust
#

assail + EP

drifting steeple
#

hm

#

okay

#

whats finesse and finesse damage

nocturne dust
#

crit + weakspot

#

is 2 things

#

if it's finesse damage, it boosts both crit and weakspot

drifting steeple
#

does electrostaff secondary do weak spot dmg?

#

damg

#

damn

#

wanted to run electro staff w crit\

lilac summit
#

thats the way to do it

#

it has crit on it as one of the stats

nocturne dust
#

EK is a crit staff, lol

#

It cannot weakspot, but it can crit

#

It's also kinda reliant on crits to reach breakpoints with perfect timing

drifting steeple
#

yeah thought i could run scirers with electro staff

nocturne dust
#

You can. Wouldn't recommend it, but you can.

#

The only staff that can really make use of Scrier's is Voidstrike, imo.

drifting steeple
#

i just wanted to level my electro staff while trying to knock off two penances (scriers and ep) at the same time

nocturne dust
#

Every other staff prefers Creeping Flames Shriekspam, EK especially.

nocturne dust
#

Any advice I give is advice for someone seeking to meta-ify their builds to tackle stuff like Havoc 40. If you don't even have things maxed out, you probably should just ignore what anyone else says for the most part.

drifting steeple
#

hey! i have, some things maxed out

plucky flax
#

I wouldn't trust people calling the staff ek and not surge

nocturne dust
#

Sure, but you're not seeking to take those into Havoc 40 or anything is my point. If you're levelling/doing penances, do that.

got ya so nice and pointless

nocturne dust
#

only Voidstrike's surge procs on rmb 😔

paper harbor
fast prawn
#

so for voidblast - maybe rending shockwave better?

nocturne dust
#

Fire Trauma is the typical build

fast prawn
#

fire trauma?

nocturne dust
#

Rending Trauma is an option, normally slightly (but not significantly) weaker

fast prawn
#

...

paper harbor
nocturne dust
#

but stronger in H40 for some situations

paper harbor
#

Trauma is old name of voidblast

nocturne dust
paper harbor
#

I use nexus and flurry

nocturne dust
#

Blazing Spirit literally never wants to go on anything else

paper harbor
#

With Empryic resolve I can blast more

nocturne dust
#

Fire Trauma is Nexus + Blazing Spirit, Rending Trauma is Flurry + Rending Shockwave

#

Nexus + Flurry is a thing some people do, but that's mostly a holdover from the times when you had to gamble to get anything good and people just had to make do with what they got (and Fire Trauma needed precise rolls)

paper harbor
#

Yeah

#

Rolling gamble weapon isn’t fun

#

Now is less hefty

nocturne dust
#

My recommendation is run Fire Trauma unless there's an Inferno user, then run Rending Trauma

paper harbor
#

I think I have with my BB kf

paper harbor
#

That build I either use two voidstrike or trauma

nocturne dust
#

I recommend assail with voidstrike

paper harbor
#

Trauma with PC and KF i targetting elite unit like ragers and ogryn s

nocturne dust
#

KF BB pairs well with Trauma and Inferno because of how it procs (trauma rolls for every KF-possible target in its blast area (not the epicenter), Inferno spams small hits)

paper harbor
#

Just little oomph fire

drifting steeple
#

is blazing spirit a staff blessing

paper harbor
#

Yes

#

Only for voidstrike and blast

nocturne dust
cloud night
nocturne dust
#

it's also a melee blessing

Is not only staff exclusive

drifting steeple

But never use Blazing Spirit outside of Trauma (unless you are memeing)

drifting steeple

i also know its not staff exlcusive

#

i just saw we were talking about staves

nocturne dust
drifting steeple
#

which was trauma staff again?

paper harbor
#

It’s a lighting ball

nocturne dust
#

and Voidstrike needs help with hordes sometimes if you can't kite them

#

so assail good

cloud night
#

Fair enough

paper harbor
#

What is Kite? Like shoot and run?

paper harbor
nocturne dust

Kiting, just leading the enemies in a conga line

If they're all in a line, you can just ball them with Voidstrike KEKW_ogryn

Im running fire trauma myself tbh

so i forgor, what the difference between both greatword marks?

is one better at something than the other?

Both gud it's preference with move sets

#

I prefer mk6 it has stab heavy 2 you can spam

lyric prism
plucky flax
#

Yeah

lyric prism
#

thats what i need to know, since i run a smite psyker with trauma staff

#

so idk what my build is lacking

verbal thistle
#

yeah

#

I know

strong gulch
#

FGS 6 leans a bit more single target with the big stab on the H2 or after special.

FGS 8 leans a bit more horrizontal with slightly faster swing and the big stab is after a PA (push attack).

verbal thistle
#

smite is bringing the build down

#

shrimple as

plucky flax
#

For sustain single target fighting. Mk8 stab actually does more damage but you can't spam that as easily

#

If you want a pure single target high mobility melee use ds4 deimos or knife

#

Since you're not struggling with any horde on trauma and smite

lyric prism
#

so what honestly, does psyker ever struggle with hordeclear if he uses staffs?

#

they all kinda seem great at it

plucky flax
#

No cos creeping flames op

#

Press f and win against horde

strong gulch
#

Voidstrike (in open areas) and EK can have issues with hordes, but other stuff in the kit like creeping flames, melee, or assail cover hordes.

#

Assail for voidstrike

#

Some people run assail EK. That is not my thing.

lyric prism
strong gulch
