can vs deal with bulwark spam
Not really, no
fml
I can give you a scrier's inferno/voidblast build if you want
Won't be that good tho, only Voidstrike abuses Scrier's well
Voidstrike is a general tool, a lot like a gun like recon (but instead of all the shots, you fire one big ball or two)
Masochism mostly
You only use VS on horde if the horde is in a line
use sb vb staff
nvm, u know what, my team can handle the huge hordes of armored targets
I'll take that scriers/inferno build though if you have it handy 
It is not that bad
I'll just vs
Like at all
Hows vs into crusher
i like vb with soulblaze blessing
Voidstrike is still plenty strong, in fact. There are many guns worse than it.
Can vs open bulwark shield at least
Yes
Considering you can get like a 50% crit chance pretty easily with it, yep
lol i need empyric?
I just feel like I'm working very hard compared to literally any other psyker build lol
But I've also never tried a proper build with it, so I shouldn't bitch too much
Surge nexus go brrrr
Well, you are, sure
with scriers i dont even need the +crit on it do i
Voidstrike requires more effort, yes.
i wish they would shange the positioning in skilltree a bit so assail does not block certain perks
or medium ball ok
As stated in the build post, I use +crit because gambling, not because meta
I would use +flak and +maniac for meta
or +unyielding if you want to try bossing with it (that is suffering tho)
nah fuck bossin
It used to be good against bosses 😭
ok so the ball energy depends on how much dmg i need to kill someone?
full charge for big bois
medium charge for medium bois
VS can atleast stagger bosses I think
spam for the horde?
like if you spam balls in a BoN pimple you can perma stagger them
On weakspot hit?
yeah
27 mins 1 mil damage melee scab only melee psyker big sword op 
no
That used to be a thing, which was why VS was good against bosses
It was nerfed
ah, I havent seen vs psyker in ages so I wasnt sure
kinda, yeah
Sadge
Is it weird that I have a meme VS build of Soulblazing everything?
Unoptimal, I know
Yes, because Voidstrike is the only staff that doesn't really do soulblaze well
and yet shriek is still optimal for it, lmao
I'm gonna try ShriekVS, I am looking to try smth new
You can see the pins for that build, in truth I haven't compared them since Scrier's buff. I doubt the quelling is good enough to change which is better tho.
Theorycrafting some cursed Scriers/Inferno build. Would DD work for it? Struggling for talent points
no, DD would not
This would be my recommendation
Yea saw I am eager to give it a try
The assail points are kinda whatever. You don't need them since the horde is for Inferno, but it's good for gunner packs at distance.
That was my thinking after witnessing 3 Ogryns eat shit in the middle of an open area with only BB to kill all the ranged enemies 
You could also go for warp splitting. I'd take anticipation just cuz that extra dodge is killer on a staff (sad that it's on the wrong side of the tree tho)
Cos it sucks Xd
I do

I once thought Assail really needed those subnodes, oh how my eyes opened freeing those two points
Bro, I can outdamage so many psykers on Oggie 😭
It's op
Ogryn light spam and Rumbler spam is nuts
I dunno about this light spam basher mk3 meme.
Except the Vet during Talent Rework
The damage is low compared to karsolas heavy spam.
Idk, I didn't mesh with the light spam bully mk3
Heck, hope it isn't placebo but I even find Power Maul fun with HH keynodes
I found it worse than light spam on cleaver
I think mk4 knife light spam is quite strong?
unparalleled armor kill
Shank people
Stab stab punch stab stab punch
mk4 with confident strike and heavy hitter with rending is brainless
dunno if it's 4, I still don't play oggie that much 
It's not as useless as it's made out to be but it needs HH and as many damage nodes as you can fit lol
Oggie is my 2nd most played, tho, lol
if u die or dont kill anything with mk4 light spam
ur actually worse than an ogryn baby
its literal light spam
and confident strike gives u infinite toughness
ever seen an ogryn face tank 2 plague ogryns without blocking or dodging
Oggie with a knife: "I AM BULLETPROOOOOOOOOOOOF"
The dog:
and also kill them
did u know apparently that applies skull crusher
4 stacks of 10% dmg on all small things u dodged into
yeah, it counts as a push, lol
fat ass
to bad you cant dodge a hole into the wall, your fat ass still gonna get netted in close hallways 😒
Ever seen one face tank 5 chaos spawns at once and barely take damage and kill them?
Confident strike needs a nerf 
It's okay, I dodge into the net as psyker 
Less confident strike
Had a dude ran inferno smite creeping flames in a havoc just now. Turned out he's a smite spammer 
also stop buffing psyker holy
No, buff psyker 
Psyker and Oggie are pretty good now
Buff everyone until Havoc 40 feels like sedition (plz don't)
Zealot and Vet need the rework
Buff psyker more
(to make up for my skill issues)

makes psykers more durable, shange the blitzes, rework forceswords specials, streamline the skilltree
I do dream of unchained psyker
crystalline will rework??? 
Blaze trauma still need buff. Blazing spirits t4 need to do 8 stacks cap.
And bring back multi hit mettle.
you will take your hit spam meta and like it

Change to Crystalline Wrath. Psyker Peril Explosions gain power and aoe in relation to corruption
removes crit requirement instead
But aren't you always at max peril when perilling?

Blaze Trauma not meta now?
As in corruption to health not Peril percentage
2nd best, as it has been.
Inferno stays winning
i want myself a laser staff with dott shotgun
I do too
Is Blaze Trauma still the best Trauma? Or Rending Trauma?
I want a staff that makes a Giant Assail Spear
vt2 bolt staff
How about Auric Damn?
i want lifestealer staff
Blaze is better than Inferno and Rending for Auric, yeah
Auric hasn't really changed, lol
I want Deepwood Staff for Psyker, make Ogryns float
Although I kinda hate the quell changes
Staves feel so sticky now 
no more quell cancelling
People quelled too hard, now staves feel sticky
I didn't even use it for anything 😭
and they could've fixed lmb spam without removing it
0/10 Fatshark, worst decision ever
put double sided tape onto staffs so they don't fall out of hands
They could have just changed the M1. M1 speed even used to be a lot slower.
yep
Lucky, someone put white crusty gum on mine
no smite does damage and smykers are shown with a dirty staff
i would use the ek lightning as a blitz
I wouldn't mind Staff Variants
left click bouncy ball which deals soulblaze, right click lobbing ball which explodes and deals soulblaze
thats a ball staff
EK
- single powerful piercing lightning bolt
- summon lightning balls that zap surrounding enemies over time
Purgatus
- Sienna Fireball in VT2
- Sienna Coruscation in VT2
Voidstrike
- Shotgun blast variant
- Burst fire variant
Voidblast
- Time freeze/slow variant
- Create psychic aoe dot pools
Just my mind think thonking, don't mind me
no time stuff
Fireball would go hard
Then how about a massive spear from the ground giving ptsd of the VietCong?
maybe grav pull with damage
So standard Voidblast pushes out, Voidvacuum pulls in
yes
I like it
would have less damage and bigger area though
All elites get sucked away
Still sucks that only Psyker staves have no variant marks so far
throws shredder an bolt pistol at you like plasma and bolter
Max Cap of 3 to avoid spam
I do like Gun Psyker
I just want more magic options haha
makes you a healer and damage support
Ngl I would play that
Buff a targeted ally with either toughness regen, speed or damage
Like a Hunting Horn main from MonHunt
throws cb at you
Not as long as Fatshark looks at usage stats
fgs nost used psyker meele likely
Does someone here know how long the base charge time of Brain Burst/Brain Rupture is?
No, but you can easily go into the Psykanium and count it 
I'll probably do but i'm at work rn ^^
@plucky flax
big if true
doppio bouta change personality to the king crimson guy
Congratulations on your Engagement 
@lofty bolt
no, already banned
WOW

All he had to do was be nice
I do remember their earlier posts here. They were... never nice.
That's to much for some people 
Which is ironic, because Doppio from Jojo is mostly nice
I’m gonna make that a sticker
maybe he already did change personality and he just doesn't know
Can grow grass indoors. Don't even have to go outside.
shout out to these troopers who i went from 32 to 40 with
Michael was running tac axe vet
with plasma

i was melee psyker
nope that one i was ogryn
club with thunder and skull crusher

Melee psyker in high havoc sounds like a bad time, or maybe it's me that is bad
@autumn smelt this is your calling to play tac axe vet in havoc
i did it for 3 missions
its tough
i went purg because i was sweating so hard lol
like path said you only kill if you crit
I will stick to staves for havoc
lore accurate doppio
Double crit blessings it is then.
Or just play zealot, I renamed my other characters yesterday, now I am forced to play them or I will have wasted 100k dockets
Yeah I need meta. Lmao
It wasn't the first time he did something like this
damm what was the other time?

Would be the same as being surprised that someone who was on probation a few times finally ended up in jail

I just saw them having arguments or trolling a few times in the past
🤰🏻
dwag was evil
thats me
You're just bad dw
Okay banter in channel is fine but pm to flame is too far 
Mods! I'm getting bullied
You know... 9/10 people find bullieing ok 

Big sword balanced?! The last shot was 5.6k damage on the plague ogryn and it's not even the stab. Xd
Hey have any new psyker weapons come out in the last few months, im just reinstalling after a long break
Force greatswort was the latest i think
And before that was the double barrel shotty
I forgot sb kills trigger malefic, maybe I need PC after all
I wish we would get some new magic
Yeah a shotgun sounds cool, and sounds good for chunking, but i want to play the magic class
With magic
one day they will add new staffs ... one day
Havoc soon? Maybe we won't wipe in 5 mins
sure but might have third in 45 minutes
Who dat
daemoniic, probably don't know him
any psykers here wanna help me get this pretty little thing
Must be pro he can carry us
Not a pro but i can try (in 8 hours when i'm home)
Sure
@plucky flax
i'm available but oce
oce?
oceania
thats fine i own my own internet just for me we should be fine
im in UK

Real so that's why they need to incorporate more magic into the guns
There are big weapons, Psy-Cannons
It's basically a bolter that hits hard against Warp related entities
It's exclusive to the grey knights though
But there's nothing stopping a psyker from empowering a normal gun with a bit of warp
Like Warp Splitting
@plucky flax starting in a bit
Things like Surety of Arms is just the psyker empowering his own body so he can reload faster and with accuracy
could they maybe empower their body so they die a little slower when they get shot at
I dno man they still die fast
Psyker tank tree 
ngl kinda figured that's what biomancer would be when it was leaked long before class rework
I assumed the bubble was going to be more like warrior priest where you just shield one guy
they could implement special warp rifles which infuse bullets through psi-matrixes and could be togglet
and that one guy could be yourself
Psyker healer. Not the psyker we deserved but the psyker we needed
Wouldn't need healers, if people stopped getting hit
But muh skill issues
get THOUGHER
But you still take damage when you are not at 100% toughnes tho
only in meele or cause poxies
Getting a dedicated gunker gun would be nice
while scriers active deactivated psi matrix when scriers of activate it for infused bullets
Soulblaze blessing instead of infernus for example
i would like it more if we would only get psiautogun variants
can't think we could infuse so well lasers
and we have no flashlight options or bash option for it
Force push
we would need extra buttons for that though or... depending of the duration of the press
It'd be so weird for psyker to have an exclusive gun though
Like so far all of their exclusives are force weapons
Yes, that's why we make it a force gun of course
it's shooting blanks but it makes heretics die anyways
you shoot the gun with active psi matrix which makes it more lethal but increase your peril depending on shots fired
Force push is the special, no extra button needed

well you can only quell after a reload while the gun is full
sorry that i built them around the peril system
and the difference so it is no plasma copy
Peril would make sense, if we go force gun, we go all in
it would be totally balanced if gun psyker just had a talent that made guns use peril instead of ammo right
and not create a nightmare infinite ammo revolver scenario
As balanced as staves are
It would help Gunker because they can't really build up peril with a gun
Scriers reliance
So they would be able to enjoy high peril bonuses more often
But it would probably force tranquility slaughter
We got Assail or whatever too
assail has only limited number of sharges
Nah fam
Assail is garbage according to FS, that's why they'll buff it next patch


No but fr
Unless you plan on reloading a lot
Gunker can't go from 0 to 100 peril with a gun
Laspistol push is the closest
Btw
FS should make it so if you hold the push it'll block
Fr fr 💯🔥
????? They are the most fun Havoc
Also Illisi activations
did the doppio weirdo get banned?
In what case ?
Yes


He started harassing people through DMs
bro really needed that attention
What?
Against mutie
i do not want to think about it
The havocs when game over about 5 minutes are the most fun
CLAP !
No too hard. 
@plucky flax wanna afk in havoc 40?
Playing with some frens already
(and dying)
Mid 20s havoc meleeker has been fun post patch
But I have never needed to do so many hard clutches in my Darktide gaming
Idk what is with these teams
At least I am not de ranking like crazy anymore
I had one team on the water plant one where they all died twice at the scan location before you take the elevator
It was a 22, I was literally just standing there killing everything while picking them back up from the respawn spot
Then we took the elevator, I didn’t see a crusher spawn in the dark and died and that was it 😂
I always try to ping crusher/mauler behind someone but I feel like no one else bothers 😂
Try it in 30+ it's fun. 
And you ide to a sneeze from an elite.
Good luck me getting there pugging, I’d have to start running a havoc solo build 😂
Biggest change I’ve noticed is that there are more boss dps checks and not everyone has adjusted to that
Spill it, I’ve been messing with a big sword smite bubble thing
why bubble no SG, go big or go home 
Yeah ok sensible
I'm support player of course.
I honestly have more success with sg but the teams tend to die because they can’t duck or not get shot
I’m continually amazed that more people aren’t doing crouch gaming when there’s tons of guns around
also my first game of the day
What are you doing curio wise? I’ve genuinely been considering a corruption set 😂
Surely my scriers gaze void strike build will clear high havoc
Does vs count as explosion dmg for pox bursters btw
Even on H40 ?
Idk why purloin providence isn’t a bigger number
Crack of bone and tranq thru slaughter is the same thing but massively more useful
Like with how enemy comp dependent it is it’d be nice if it was more potent or offered another goody
How does charged strike work with bigsword as havoc baddies get stronger? Would I perhaps be able to electrocute more things usefully?
I am now tempted, very tempted
I’m gonna try a seriously weird ass build
It depends on enemy hitmass so not only would they have more health. It would take longer to zap them, and zap them less on top
Wait charged strike does less damage to more hitmass? Really??
Really???
That’s so dumb if true
yeah
Well scratch that idea
does this work when you kill an enemy who is affected by soulblaze or on kill by soulblaze dot
r
id presume affected
Ye of course
I run 2 toughness 1 hp in havoc I think.
Even so I think I have 90 toughness it's so painful.
@summer prairie 
Strongest oggy
So you use FGS in H40 ? (I didnt understand well what you were using)
FGS assails bubble recon las 12.
I love spamming FGS specials!!!!
You can try solving that by knocking them down
So you need something with high impact
Which uh
Warp Slice and Blazing Spirit!!!
Not a lot on psyker
Realest oggy h40 clutch. Totally not me running around helplessly.
Well that implies force hammer time
Why quell when crack of bone + hit thing
Use fgs special to predamage every enemy through the wall 
fgs special and bolt pistol to pre KILL every enemy through the wall
and then get accused of cheating and cry
@summer prairie wanna play more?
in a sec yeah
Maybe I can get rank 40 
I do 2x toughness 1x +3 stamina

what's your rank
wait, what, you weren't 40 when we messed around yesterday?
There's an interaction to make Bolt Pistol puncture blessing to proc on FGS right?
Nein 
I was feeling bad for a moment but then I remembered you spamming that gunker build 😂
Wut it's op
Power Sword got a buff ?
Top 1% fraud 

chicken jockey
Any tips for killing Monstrosities? I'm doing the trials and it's a cakewalk up to Wave 9 and then get 5 monstrosities spawned in Wave 12 and just 
Oggy go bonk bonk.
Krak spam.
Psykers spam bb or just whack.
BB spam is so slow though 
allocated the thing that makes it faster when you put down your shield
Yeah
Shoot them
Can't really fit that in my build atm 
Giving up some toughness regen for that, what could go wrong
Is Soulflame any good against monstronsities?
Something is off
havn't gotten my twitch items yet
Not even if you scroll down? They show up as blank quality items.
Soulblaze is decent against bosses, if you get enough stacks
Do the fire indulgences proc on soulblaze too?
No it's pro I am famous got recognised in game.
Psyker best boss damage by far is guns, then inferno, BB, melee
No idea
Recognized you as a fraud 
I'll give my warpfire build a try in the Trials 
Gun or melee psyker with assail is best, imo
Most of the buffs help guns, while almost none work with staves at all
Would this work with fire 
it's on headshots
Thanks to @weary idol
Autopistol on scrier's is a new type of crack I didnt know I needed
Shit just melts maniacs ez
Send build rq
1 sec
Its more meleeker but still works with the ap
Are the scrier talents really that bad
The speed and toughness ones?
I just dont use em
They're aight
toughness one is kinda low TDR for its uptime
I use the speed one all the time though
zoomies
Fair, but i dont see an1 use them
We need peril scaled ms buff
So psyker can run
Or make the scrier talent
speed is funny
let psyker break the sound barrier
just how fast can SG get you going?
at most its 20% from sg 15% mettle 20% disrupt then knoif
meh, don't like knife
Speed is very nice
I don’t bother with tdr
My game broke.
not broken, you've just been teleported to another part of the galaxy thanks to the warp
I’m owm in my spaceship
brb
I usually dont run peril reduction on kill talents for meleeker because I wanna make the most use out of warp unbound
Lets me use warp rider and warp splitting well too
Isn't still good to have its bonus cap at 30 while you toss even more damage around with that extra the full duration?
You can still get a good amount of stacks even without peril reduc on kill
And not running those skills means your post scriers is stronger
Free abuse for peril based talents
Hey QQ; does the energy wave atk on the moonlight force greatsword count as a warp attack?
yeah
coolio
Two questions:
-is the surety of arms still giving 25 peril instead of 15%?
-what combinations of blessings you feel work better for each FGS mk?
Both crit blessings or one crit blessing and wrath
shred/wrath
What about the one that gives strength depending of peril?
Good but not as good as crit
I don’t think unstable power is ever worth taking at this point
Yeah I run that sometimes
Is Warp Unbound a good talent? Struggling to think of why I'd overload after Scrier's Gaze ended unless I cast a max peril brain Burst or something
For DD/Perfectionism users, how annoying is it to keep the max stacks? I've been using the other side of that and am debating giving the bigger damage bonus a try for a few missions
Yeh it’s very good
i was thinking the same thing
Because you keep on using warp attacks
It’s for doing a crap ton more damage
And warp splitting/rider
You can just use it to spam all 10 assail shards
After SG runs out
After maxing peril
I've use it to keep everything locked down for another 10s with Smite
Assail rain at max peril with peril buffs
Mag dump assail 

Oh I use BB and Psykinetics Aura with SG
I do too when I run it on inferno
I presume its good with force staves too, but I loathe using the staves on my current build
Does inferno need THAT much crit? Feels overkill
It's aight until you get to an elevator or checkpoint
Or a long event where enemies don't spawn
Or not playing High Intensity
Or if teammate kills the marked target
Or you don't hit weakspots
Or you have a BM axe and kill 4 targets before your mark changes
Fair enough
Once it gets rolling I feel like you maintain a larger bonus cause the stacks go down 1 at a time. So you have a 50 second window where you're better than 15 stacks. But there are definitely situations where the longer duration is better, in a vacuum the extended duration gives superior uptime
I can't see my stacks, so I just pretend I'm always at max
Yeah this bug sucks

But at some point
It's about feeling the stacks
That's what it is Miles
A leap of faith
Man I sure hope this is just a placeholder model and he will look differently in his final form, because so far this is kinda meh
Gunner's big brother
it is just so much easier to carry havoc with zel
like i can kill 70% of shit on the map with psyker and it doesnt matter because idiot team slowly dies to random bulet
meanwhile with zel i can just keep em at gold the whole time and walk thru fire without issue
i may start taking hammer tho
much as i love relic theres way more need for vs boss
relic mark 2 with unyielding merks bosses 
better peak but worse sustained, its reasonable to go either way
Yeah, zealot is really easy to carry with, you can't solo but the uptime of book makes games so easy by negating being swarmed by melee elites and focusing bosses down
plus fire nade to clear things out
That's not how you spell throwing knives
I prefer flamer + throwing knives
i am a fire nade lover, the ability to nade and book at the same time is so gucci
i may just go og tho
the DoT works better on flamer I feel like
being unkillable has its perks
i see so many people play og like theyve had their brain scooped out because it literally cannot die
Also picking immolation grenades makes you pick some useless talents
that i agree with
im mostly relying on years of muscle memory to win havocs with zel, i have no idea what this patch's havoc zel is supposed to look like
You pick throwing knives because they are good
I pick throwing knives because maining psyker made me ignore grenade pick ups
We are not the same
not needing nades is handy tbh
That and I feed all the grenades to frag ogryns
Based
Why is he so big? I used to be an RTO it's not a position that selects for size lmao
Pighumpers tended to be big boys tho
no idea why he so tall or why he's basically just another gunner with the ability to call in reinforcements. my man is almost boss captain height
I seriously hope it's just a temp model just to see the enemy in-game
no RTO runs around with heavy gunner gear
would be interesting if the devs give him some kind of scab hellbore lasrifle
Sniper part two yippie
that'd be the exact opposite of "interesting"
why tho?
I'm more interested on the voice lines
a sniper that can see you from far away and call in reinforcements before you have a chance to engage it?
it's not a "Voxcast Operator" at that point, but a "Sniping Forward Scout"
don't give him sniper level damage, obviously
I was thinking it could deal high toughness dmg but low hp dmg and make gunners target the players he breaks toughness on
the reinforcements he calls in already has a sniper and a trapper plus some litte scab shooters
Voxcasters look CHUNKY too I shudder to think of how much they weigh
if you can blast through toughness, you can blast through HP
yeah they do
they look like vacuum tube cases, honestly
probably a bunch of skulls inside for processing
I meant like it could have a hp dmg modifier that’s lower
having it be a sniper is a scuffed design decision, period
Lol a comically shrunken head in the handset that acts as the speakerphone. The squelch is just a gurgle
it's likely going to be a lightly armed guy that spawns with gunner squads
Who even said I was making it a sniper though?
fine, then perhaps a heavy laspistol?
I just wanna see a new enemy with a new type of weapon
not likely to get a unique weapon, I'd wager
"new" for the enemies I mean
hence why I mentioned the hellbore and the laspistol
currently there are no enemies in game that use those
lol, imagine a heretic ogryn enemy with a rumbler
"SEND IN LITTLE ONES!"
"I SEEZ THEM"
Could you bribe them with rashuns?
maybe?
I just want to hear the ogryn yelling into the mic absolutely nothing helpful to the other end
"DEYZ RUNNIN AROUND"
Can heretics bribe our ogryns with rashuns? What's stronger their loyalty to their sah or stupidity and wanting food?
This game is basically the extent of my 40k knowledge, so no clue 
Well and a few videos from Bricky
honestly, most of my 40k knowledge comes from r/grimdank and TESTTD
not exactly reliable
if I were a heretic in the Darktide setting I'd bribe the loyalist ogryn by offering him a ride on the train
I suppose that's exactly howe the Scabs recruit their ogryns
the Scabs are the Moebian 6th
an established militorum of Atoma
already had ogryns and such
Gotta feel bad for them, they are heretics because they are loyal to their leaders who turned towards chaos
no need to feel bad
Human heretics are scum though 
they killed the ones that didn't turn towards chaos with them
the thing with chaos is that those who fall to it always end up choosing it for themselves
Then I will feel bad for the ones who got killed already
that's the setting of 40k - there are no good guys, every faction is horrible in its own way
the Imperium drives its people to heresy
Except the Tau who had to be retconned into being horrible
they're the anime weeaboos
their lore was retconned to have a leader that's essentially dead and whose name is propped up by those in charge in order to stay in power
Sounds suspiciously like the Imperium 
Also their relationship with their auxiliaries was retconned to be implied psychic slavery by the Ethereals
yep, it was very uninspired
the tau should’ve stayed a glimmer of hope as contrast to the rest of the setting
but i guess that’s what the farsight enclaves are now
basically, someone at GW decided that the Tau needed to be as grimdark as the rest of the setting
even though them being so obviously not grimdark made them a lot more interesting
since they served as an in-universe thing to point at to prove that evil is not necessary
when those fuckin' nutzo whackjobs start saying how the imperium would be a good idea irl
holy true sister
They could have had it both ways: Tau are not grimdark, but they're gonna learn sooner than later, which reinforces the grimdark
well, evil was never necessary
They already have with their interactions with the Tyranids
nobody with even half a brain thinks the Imperium is realistically only "doing what it must"
And they keep on doin' their thing
What I have always wondered, with so many different books and authors and stories, who decides what's canon? Does GW read it all and then edits it to make it fit the overall story they want to tell? Is there a main lore that other authors have to use as a guideline?
GW pays authors to write books
People with less than half a brain are legally allowed to vote
and approves of what gets added to the canon
sadly also true

someone at GW once famously wrote "Everything is canon. Not all of it is true."
i think we should implement iq tests before people can vote
this totally will not end at all with anything facist whatsoever trust me
I remember a Water Caste bureaucrat from the Peter Fehervari novels who came to the conclusion that even if the Tau could never understand the nature of Chaos, simply knowing that Humans (and seemingly most races in the galaxy) were susceptible to it was enough to convince him that long-term coexistence was impossible
Very convenient and yet fitting, given the setting
first comes IQ tests, then head measurements, then color of eyes and skin
congrats, you just reinvented Eugenics
Maybe the next galactic apocalypse will be the Tau of Iron
And then you just put a score based on the money they paid the evaluator
iq tests are dumb
your body betrays your degeneracy
IQ tests only realistically test abstract thinking and vocabulary
which is why I laugh at people that make a big deal of Mensa
mensa ?
the name sounds familiar but i can’t place it
it strangely pleases me that you don't know of Mensa
Place for smart people
that whole organization deserves to be forgotten
What is it?
it's a club for people that think they're literally smarter than everyone else
i’ve heard about it
I know it because of Stargate Atlantis 
club for people with high IQs
i wonder what my IQ is
probably like
4
and it gets filled with "special" people
maybe 5
I’ve wondered as well
I'm not sure if being glad or shamed that I have no clue what Mensa is at all
I don't know or care what my IQ is
I know it's not going to be good largely because I'm shit at math
What if I’m literally disabled
i care so i can judge you based on it
bah
free disability checks
I don't just mean the mentally deficient, it also becomes home to people that think they're better than everyone else
I stopped thinking abt Mensa when I realized u gotta pay them annual fees to be part of them
The Imperium is long past the time when it could have deliberately chosen to do anything else, part of the grimdark of the setting was that the Imperium was well into its failure state, surviving on sheer inertia that also made it impossible to steer it back.
The Imperium may not be simply "doing what it must to survive" but it's made of quadrillions of individuals who mostly really are doing that
everyone should stop thinking about them
non profit btw
totally
everyone should stop thinking
sure, as long as you understand that and not genuinely think that fascist xenophobic oppression is actually a good way to run things
Guilliman coming back changed that and put the Imperium's reins back in the hands of a small number of Great Men who really could (maybe) steer the Imperium away from the brink, which is part of why it was so controversial
I mean i have internal dialogue and do question/affrim myself

a lot of people do that though
That genuinely seems like a scam to stroke the ego of some losers that don't value money
nah, the religious nature of the Imperium is too ingrained into things
that’s not really an indicator one way or another
ur already smarter than like 40% of population
all Robot Girlyman can do is directly influence the immediate people around him
I mean yeah some people have no internal dialogue
fascist xenophobic oppression is actually a good way to run things crowd really kinda just out themselves as having never looked into any nations history
It’s crazy
Well no, the Imperium is surrounded by enemies and has no friends because Big E insisted on the genocide of all xenos, not just the hostile ones
I think literally every single location on earth has tried xenophobic oppression as a way to run things
How can you not talk to yourself in your head
and it has failed horribly every single time
there is that as well
individuals who have to do that to survive, yes
but a lot of the larger, more macro sized actions and decisions caused a lot of unnecessary suffering,
and those in power often exploit it in the name of “what’s necessary” (like “just following orders”)
frankly, GW should have never written the Horus Heresy books
I can see red, and apple shape but not fine details
it's literally impossible to take a character as powerful as the Emperor and make what their efforts turn into become the absolute opposite of what they claim to have wanted
i have the concept of an apple in my head but i cannot visualize it at all
This is literally what I imagine
like a blurry painting of an apple
the Emperor is supposed to be the most intelligent and powerful human, and they screw things up in the stupidest of ways just so that we can have 40k setting
he’s not infallible
he can’t predict everything
GW did a disservice to the lore by trying to flesh out the heresy itself
was a terrible father
it's not about being fallible
People with aphantasia in shambles
it's about making the most absolute braindead decisions possible
they literally make no sense from the perspective of his stated goals
On one hand, the Emperor was/is so far removed from what a mortal human is that he might as well be an alien, with completely alien perspectives and even thought processes.
On the other hand, he has been alive and among humans for tens of thousands of years per his canon origin, by 30,000 AD he should have understood what made people tick.
It's easier to just call Black Library a bunch of hacks, and as a company they are of course more interested in making money than writing a coherent (let alone good) story or setting.
they set themselves up to write a story they couldn't possibly make coherent
should have left it largely a mystery
God I hope not
I forgot to say thank you yesterday about this
It’s such a simple thing to question your own feelings, beliefs, actions, judgment
And you’re telling me people don’t do dat
Maybe dis is me being gullible

Yez
It’s not easy to challenge one’s self
That’s true
If I were in 40k I’d be turned into a servitor
I dunno if I'm just being cynical from being an American in recent times, but most people just don't
Philosophy with fyre
They bury anything that would make them question their own beliefs, and just lock it away and never acknowledge anything is wrong
yer the only ten I see

A lot of the Bible Belt is rooted in tradition
Most people here never question most things
I remember wanting to know more about occultism and supernatural things and I was nearly disowned
No worries 
“Erm read da bibble” “ok but I know more about these things so I can understand them and avoid them” “I’m gonna skin your ass”
True story

they are called occult for a reason, you don't tell people 😂
my mom is also a christian but unlike the people that do this she has read the bible
so she isn't an asshole
“You ask too many questions” “you are a heretic”
Beast
Mine did too she was just extremely zealous
if they were actually zealous and not just a bible thumper they would know that threatening their child like that goes against the bibles teachings
It’s wasn’t so much I wanna worship these things I wanna learn what I’m dealing with and she eventually understood it
The Bible is overwhelmingly a book that encourages the most hippy pacifism imaginable
True
While condemning people with cold hearts and heavy hands at basically every turn
And we must forgive them

As wise ass dog says
As what path said about challenging yourself i remember being forced to do public speaking
the 40k lore btw is unironically the closest fictional depiction of real life occult beliefs
I got so used to crowds that i would yap about anything
And embarrass my friends publicly

I get scared of heights
And bugs
I fail like a little girl
Had a bug on me yesterday
While doing a havoc 36
Went down because I was geeking
you make yourself sound entirely unreliable
being nice doesn't build character
I’m very aloof sometimes
Ask path
He had to tell me like 4 times to read something again

I'm not sure "aloof" applies to that situation
Ledged again it's so over
Ledged again award
Last person who wasn't nice to him got banned, be careful 
yeah but your teammates clutched afterwards right 👍
No I spawned way too far away and we lost. 
People who are mean to my innocent and pure heart are punished
Mettle seems to work now and Reborn by the fire too
As they should be
Gunker stocks are rising
Praise be the emperor. Can someone recommend me a psyker build? Somehow the builds i find online are 6 months old. I would really appreciate it. May his light guide you on your dark journey.
Ignore the damage taken the psyker using trauma pushed like 4 bursters tho
Cause he’s evil
I’m very reliable
As wise ass dog said

There are some pinned, they are still current
I thank you
may you slay many heretics
so how much does this perk actually give?
Up to 20% total strength (applies to all damage instances from player) at full 5 stacks
so its goated
It’s Alr
what are the b est blessings on gs for meleker
also does this work on greatsword warp slice?
No
doesnt it count as a ranged attack?
Warp slash projectile is only “warp attack”
It works well with assail
It’s neither melee nor ranged
does psyker even benefit from crits bro
I run if if I’m using melee psyker
Absolutely
We live by crits.
Massively
Psyker without crit is like
Not a real class

Not as good as crit
Many talents either increase crit or proc off crit.
Anything that isn't Blazing Spirit, Warp Slice or Murderous
If want to.
I don't know anyone who runs momentum, but if you like it and it's working who cares and keep running it.
If you want the utility of deflector, then yeah drop momentum.
Momentum if you suck against melee enemies, deflector if you suck against ranged 
What if both??
luckily 2 blessing slots.
soulblaze
Momentum quite bad because FGS base cleave is ass
Need constant peril cleave or wrath to support it to work
I ran wrath and momentum, and I'm not ashamed to admit it 
For the fgs I recommend precog, riposte, or wrath
Double crit blessings 
I do think fgs benefits a lot from wrath though
Yez
Wrath is a mandatory blessing if you don’t utilize warp splitting
how do you get the mission end screen where you see all the stats? i dont get those O:
You mean at the end of the game? Its a mod
yes. ill need to look into that
Here it is
thank you
Also get the Ovenproof Scoreboard Plugin, the base Scoreboard mod is surprisingly unhelpful
Okay I've given Perfectionism a few tries, I do quite like it
It's easy enough to get a few early headshots and just get the stack going, its rebuilding after dying thats the hard part
Just don't die 
Oh trust me I'm building to not die, I'm just ass
I didn't notice it vanishing, but I'm not always paying attention to buffs
