Nerd
it is lmao
I really don't understand why their is no "Havoc" public game MM. Make it hard to access one of the weekly rewards :/
I wish ppl with that mindset not ask unless they are happy to be the only one punished for a loss.
You can do my map if you want.
You get randoms with 380-400 gear joining and barely doing stuff but die.
But you're fine with not being able to access one part of the game for newcomers. Great 🙂
Host your own game then.
Need two to make a party 🙂
If you just want to join others, it's the same issue.
Havoc is not really something for newcomers to begin with, it's the hardest content intended to play after you have enough experience
That said no Havoc matchmaking is one of the biggest complaints and people said it would die before it even released because of the party finder
I'm bored of Auric Damnation... and I can't access any of the party that are waiting for people doesn't really matter the Havoc level.
Not if you use lfg tool?
Then ppl can request to join you
Oh I see
Why can't you access them?
Sorry since I've never used LFG and I saw it was greyed out, I assume you needed two members to create a party. You just have to select an option. my bad.
I get rejected.
Yeah havoc will stay flopvoc until matchmaking replaces the party finder
Guy doesn't know I get rejections to even low runs for being 130~
dont think normal matchmaking will work
Yeah, super weird that he doesn't have this piece of information, smh
i spy on people's builds in aurics and a lot of them join with no upgraded weapons and meme builds 
havoc is designed around tight teams
at least for 30 and above
You can do both at the same time. Public MM and Party Finder. I don't see why you can't have both really.
I don't understand, is there a mod that puts a number on your build ? where is that 130 coming from ?
Because who takes punishment for a loss when you get trolls or fresh 30s joining your say, 35?
Class lvls. PC has a mod showing it.
I'm running derank service. 
Don't use Public MM then if you feel you're only getting trolls and newly 30's. You can still use the party finder.
it's a non-issue. I'm not saying "get rid off Party finder and only do Public MM" I'm saying "Do both"
What makes your service worth it, why can't I derank myself for the same experience? 
Because you can experience 40 with me. 
Better than derank in whatever rank you're at.
It's painful.
I am at... 27 now maybe? 
Ambitious players joining 40 but they sus. 
can my level 11 psyker join?
I'm super pro
Real, which class did you do it with?
I clawed my way to 29 on my terrible old vet build
All the descriptions in this game are really vague and obtuse. All you can really do is field testing.
I have upgraded weapons and meme builds 
Wanna carry my gunker as a joke haha
Sure but I think you need to be 30 to do havoc
Psyker, I was at 40 before the rework and only did one mission after the derank reset to stay at 30
I'm level 30 in spirit.
It counts.
👍
Damn, impressive. I stopped after reaching 29 because my wrist started to get sore
It was a lot easier before the changes, to be fair 
havoc 1 enthusiasts represent 😤
Just spam books and bubbles.
honestly even if they just get rid of the jacked up hitmass i'd be fine with it
Toughness grace removal is what really kills me
Everything else is handleable w bad pubs
oh yeah that too
To be fair, if you have enough bubbles, you covered for the main issues. Now it's more bs.
you really don't notice it until they take it away 
dogshit boring agonizing turtle meta slop
I hate bubble
Bubble is BORING
I don't want to be a bubble metaslave shining shout veteran's boots I want to rise to the occasion and prove gunker haters wrong
the low enemy health and massive fuckhuge hordes give me the power fantasy i expect from a warhammer game
if only they let you do havocs solo
Low havs were fun for that reason.
I didn't really enjoy low level havocs tbh
i love both ive tried so many different Psyker builds but since i play with randoms, i use Bubble and even with Bubble some players still manage to get downed. 
Felt like a downgrade compared to maelstroms
Some people like big hordes with no hp.
If you do 9-10s, was like auric spawns with malice hp.
Or maybe just our luck.
But it is what I find fun.
Just smashing into massive weak hordes as a pure power fantasy.
Fair nuff
i find it more satisfying when there's like 30 Maulers and 10 Crushers running my Direction and knocking them about with Voidstrike, its even better with Stamina stim. 
If only malice maulers.
i want a Cryo staff, think that would be interesting. 
Staff that freezes enemies in place?
The only Havoc I've ever done was lvl 7, and it's way easier than a normal Heresy run :/
1-10 is malice difficulty

E.g. enemies have malice hp
I see what would be Damnation ? 20-30's ?
Freezes and then shatters, could be great for applying brittleness, could also be a way to maybe... cover fire from flamers and or bombers? 
So that's the level I should strive for when I start if I'm comfortable with Damnation and Auric Damnation ?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bb9ee95-0b68-43d7-abd0-05c8aae4258e/soulblaze-storm
I switched it up
Super weird tree now
Just keep playing until havoc breaks you 🙂
Or stay in aurics and have a fun like a normal player
I'll do that. I just want to see what Havoc is about in higher levels.
Suffering mostly
Like you need to actually be good at the game and know the maps or you'll die in seconds
But doing things perfectly isn't enough, the rest of the team needs to not make mistakes too
This is your average fight in h40
And no splitting off, which should be kinds obvious lol
I've seen a few H40 run, seems fun to me. I do understand that I'm not at that level yet, That's why I'm looking on where to start level wise.
Even with the famous bubble knight? 
Nah I was playing surge creeping flames.
That's the problem then
Thinking emperor's fading light 1 it should be okay but teammates are kind of headless chickens.
Hi,300 ping helps with it.

27 is emperors fading light 2?
Think that starts at 30?
Yes?
No, being headless chicken.
Omg me too.
You literally have no clue what is going on since everything is delayed by half a sec.
PANIC.
🙋
does someone has a good inferno staff build ?
For havoc or non havoc?
non havoc
Non havoc is in pins
Nobody can ever find a good inferno build
🙂
Hi
You have no clue what is going on as well?
Hi
A lot of times yeah. I have the player outline mod and I still can't find my teammates
No mods, just confused and panicked.
I'm still confused with mods. Clearly they're not cheating. 
They are, but not even cheats can help some.
Just lost either way.
Is like having beeg long beams guiding a player and they still get lost.
Why do you think having a beeg map, a minimap and glowing paths help so much.
Tbh, just knowing an enemy's health, and your relative damage to it, is a big deal.
In a pack of 6 crushers, knowing exactly which ones to focus to kill off quickly is match changing.
We know. It's cheating. Ppl will say otherwise. It's co-op so not as bad.
My main thought on it is a lot of these people are like 'I am a super smart high difficulty player'
While playing with every single QoL thing under the sun.
Undermines it just a bit.
I'm not advocating for purity or whatever
I dunno, I'm too lazy to mod.
But when some of those people routinely bash other people for being bad
comes across as...not great
i just stick to HUD mods to i don't have to deal with the dogshit vanilla peril fx 
I am heavily colourblind
A lot of them are accessibility. The main difference between when I mod and don't is how quickly my hands get tired.
I've not explored psyker that much (levelling it now)
Lazy/Lazy, totally too lazy.
ikr
There are def qol ones like block on opening chat.
imagine if that number was literally the same colour as most backgrounds
Now that is the biggest cheat of them all.
I want the excuse to advocate for accessiblity built into the game for ppl in general.
well too bad, it can be 
Real hardcore people deal with abusive messages like manly mannington men.
AND it's translucent to add to it
block in game with your melee like in vermintide, not blocking players 
Block as in block attacks while typing, not blocking other players 
weird how they removed that in dt
You get my fan.
Fatshark no PTT on controller.
I will just turn your volume all the way down next time
Problem solved
-20 dezibel might still rupture my ears though
Karien speaks straight into your mind via the warp, there's no stopping her 
Westerners dunno the RL QoL that is a fan.
You think we don't have fans? 
Seems like it.
We just don't point them directly at our mics
You don't even have air cons that can double duty as heaters.
Though whoever is insane enough to set an aircon to warm...
Because they are completely unnecessary, in Germany at least
I don't need warm when it can be 33°C in the middle of the night.
It's pointed at me though.
it's currently a balmy 20
Here as well
33°C 81% humidity.
Sucks
20°C is lower than "Winter".
20C is like...less than shorts weather if i can manage it
I don't deal well with more than 21C
just heat coming out of my face and hands
idle room temp is about 15-16C
working temp ideally is like 0-5C
I've been in 44C
My room is an oven due to PC.
That is outside temps at night, cooler.
I dare you to unload a 15m truck at like 55C, over 3 hours, and tell me I don't know what heat is D:
That's like going out at noon, the sun blaring down at your head.
while doing constant manual labour, yes
Then you fall ill due to it and bedridden for days.
I used to go through about 6-8 litres of water in a night
some of this was also while wearing a covid mask
Yep, I know. You are forced to for years.
Lifted only like last year?
Some jobs still force it.
Though it is to add extra precautions since food handling.
does assail count as a ranged kill for weekly quests?
Yes.
Same for staff.
Dunno about the special attack... but I expect those to be melee.
What is worse, working in a 55ºC heat for a prolonged time, or work in a -20ºC Industrial Fridge for a prolonged time.
55C
Depends on how your body is built. For some, it's easier to warm up, for others, easier to cool down.
you can layer up for -20C
coming from someone who is currently in the desert... heat is worse 
50 billion air coolers and fans.
cold you can always wear thicker/better gear for
heat is worse every single time
you can layer up to avoid cold
you can not go outside naked to be less hot
and peeling off your skin is inadvisable
You mean dress for summer if it's positive °C?
You can.. but due to laws it's better not too 🙂 (unless you have a nudist beach near your house.. in which case do whatever you want :D)
I really only needed more than thin innerwear when it went to -4 to -10.
No amount of dressing up for summer is going to stop 55 celsius from feeling like shit
I mean I dress for summer at 4 deg cel.
Or as usual.
I might wear innerwear if it's windy.
You can't really do anything about the extreme heat except stay hydrated, not wear black clothed and suffer
I wear black.
black clothes are fine, so long as you're not in direct sunlight for too long
You are better off with reflective colours though.
I do too but try to avoid it during peak summet
I'm enjoying the milder winters but 45°C summer can fuck off
you're better off with black, if you're not in direct sunlight
just happens that sunlight can be mostly everywhere
so you want to absorb as little of it as possible
black emits better, but absorbs more
Why do you think my sleep cycle is whack?
I want to die before 7pm.
It's normal in the south of Spain to get that heat in summer unfortunatly. Just invest in a good AC system and don't go out between 13pm-17pm.
alas
Mediterranean moment truly
work
Luckily since I run an antique store I only have to go out a few times a month to get new inventory and set up shop
1 to 4 pm. 13:00 to 17:00.
And most of that is in shop with many fans
5pm
But loading shit in the sun sucks
Potentially even dangerous if you don't take breaks
And it's not something you can make suck any less
I can't math. Am tired from the heat.
when I used to load/unload those trucks, I would bring in a 2 litre bottle of ice water from home
I had 2 on rotation that would alternately freeze
we had big fans outside the trucks
It's dark now, still 33°C because.
so you would work for 5-10 minutes
come out of the truck with the other person on rotation
stand by the fan, drink water
and then swap
put the ice against your skin, on the arteries, to try to carry cold blood around your body faster, etc
more than about 10 minutes of hard physical labour in those hot trucks was not a good idea
Why I never understood why Westerners come here during their winter.
I always heard that drinking natural temperature water was better than ice cold, during very heated summers.
Isn't that the reason spaniards came up with the siesta? Because it's too hot to do any work?
Why would you want to suffer 30-37°C?
for a lot of people that's comfortable
This is assuming not a VERY hot day.
Yes, it's exactly why.
it's fairly moot
if you're actively trying to cool your body, rather than hydrate, I would go with colder water
if you're trying to min-max the value the water has on body hydration, then probably
That's like cooler summer.
Unless you get a bad day.
Then just summer.
summer is miserable
Thus, it confuses me.
And summers are just gonna keep getting worse 🙂
Can't comment. Would suggest asking the people who do it.
I prefer cold places and mountains and such.
It's times like these that I'm glad I live in Finland. Most people don't realize, but this country exists at the same latitudes as Alaska. Which means, during summer months there's hardly any darkness. You can stay up the whole night without needing any artificial light. Gotta wonder why some people take summer vacations in the south, because the summer is the most miserable part of the year in equatorial regions.
I'm fairly used to explaining to Canada/US people that the UK is north of basically every major population centre in those places.
It's been pretty solidly sunny the last 3-4 weeks.
Basically only rained last weekend.
Highs of like 15-22C, around my parts.
More or less ideal, by my standards.
I know.
And by mine
Only problem is you can basically never guarantee that.
It rains less in summer, but not never.
You plan your holiday and you just happen to hit the one week of summer that it rains non-stop.
I mean i'm used to frequent overcast so no real change there
That is rich ppl aircon.
We don't have AC.
I've got ac but I strive to use it as little as possible
Well, you also don't have casual daily 35°C for like 85% of the year.
Nobody ever have ac in UK.
Even at night.
We just suffer every summer.
And when I do I never set it to over 5 degrees lower than outside temperature so I don't give myself temperature shock when I go outside
I used to live in a place that got up to 38C indoors in the summer.
But yeah, we do not.
At that point, might as well not turn it on.
Also last summer's heatwave was so bad it caused a meltdown in the regional power plant
idiots overcranked their ACs
Nah it helps a ton
Also hit 3 mil now on a really long and painful game. Purple + 21st Xd
21st is my fave modifier
And I'm biased because I first started playing the game when they first appeared
I mean they also left it on the entire time.
Im really close to 100 assists now then gotta frind 37 mortis after that 
Mortis is easy though.
Is just brain ded fun till trapper wave.
anything over 25c is instant death
i hate the sun
trapper wave is manageable, sniper wave though is death incarnate
Void grenades funni.
I'm nocturnal for a reason.
Just had the worst psyker game ever.
Feels like the vet and other psyker on my team weren't doing anything, so I was constantly getting overrun and downed.
At one point I was spectating the other psyker trying to melee a gunner with the staff for like 15 seconds.
Like, bro. Ok, hit the gunner once to knock him over, but then shoot. Or pull out your sword, I know you have one.
Melee with staff only works if you take smite and the two other subnodes.
Live vampire reaction
That's actually what 40k is really about
"oh I have a psychic staff?"
"WHY DON'T I USE IT TO BONK THE GUY IN THE HEAD WITH IT"
More hiss and withdraw.
Smite is meta then ? Nice!
I mean, a charged staff bonk can stagger most things, from what I've seen. And they did knock the gunner to the floor with the staff, but then they kept bonking him until dead, which took forever.
The psyker had a full mastery electro staff and a full mastery demon's claw.
I didn't see a single parry.
Or devil's claw, whatever it's called.
The parry sword.
Is a meme thing. Ask @formal harness about it.
Cos they did not run the meme.
they killed quell cancel on purga? for lmb?
All of QC
good riddance frankly
thank god they did
skill expression?`whats that?
yeah your skill expression means fuck all
breaking the game? Whats that?
They just had to adjust the M1 on bolt primaries.
Bet you use a macro for it.
when that same skill expression enabled macro users to destroy lobbies
ofc but thats a skill too
no it isn't
of course you don't that's why you came in here to be defensive and chant "muh skill expression" about a broken exploit being rightfully patched
Well, assail QC is still there for some reason.
where am i defensive
should have nerfed the staves into the ground too while they were at it
but oh well can't be perfect
There are other quell cancels that sre not M1 machine gun macros abuse.
Some ppl just can't play normally. Is just how it is.
fire staff literally unuseable without lmb spam
and I won't shed a single tear for their passing because they deserved to go too
LMAO
That is not true.
assail quell cancel should be removed as well
ok
Are we removing all animation cancels?
Wot. Unless you have extreme arthritis...
that just shows that i am correct and u just whiney about staves
oh no I think a lot more than that needs to be nerfed
the recent buffs to right tree psyker should also be reverted
still the quell cancel delete is a way to disengage with ur hardest gamers
and it IS a skill expression to learn about hidden mechanics and implement them, even if if means to macro it.
there's no skill expression to macros it's literally having a program do it for you
like i dont wanna ruin my fingers by spamming a button, its not that its mechanically skillfull
it's as much skill expression as aimbotting is
crafting the macro is a skill
Lol what
the fact that most people didnt use it just shows it
no matter what you guys cry about
maxis annoy me
coding a cheat or hack is a skill too... but it's a banable offence so yeah .. kind of mute point
The macro to make quell cancel happen was silly and too far. One that just spams M1 at regular speed is fine tho.
wasn't quell cancel macro bannable
different stuff, u can do quell cancel manually without problems
it wa supposed to be, but there was no bans from what I've seen and heard
its just annoying and arthritis giving
@prime elk
I dunno I reported every person I saw use it, and I haven't seen them since so maybe?
naturally

bet you dont play staves
if it's a glitch and you are abusing a glitch, it's the same for me as hacking or cheating.. at least in my books. Lets hope ToS is less straightforward than I am.
I don't, because they're overpowered and boring as sin
Wot. This is psyker mains.
I instead play gun psyker which is also overpowered but fun
yeah idk maybe the never use lmb
And incredibly hated for some reason
On the PURGA???
debatable, im on the side that hidden knowledge is good for the playerbase
Where all the stagger is???
I like voidblast :3
yeah maybe they dont play burga at all
QC was not a glitch.
yeah maybe @tough vine was just to bad to craft a macro xd
I can't craft macros either.
I wasn't even playing furing QC, I've came back 2-3 weeks ago to the game.. haven't played since beta before that
QC has been a thing since launch.
classic fatshart, takes them years to fix it lol
did they disable trauma qc too?
then stop talking about
literally any below 500 levels shouldnt talk
LMAO
Also, I didn't spectate the veteran, but they were using infiltrate.
Now, tbf, I also play veteran with infiltrate, but I don't suck at it. I will do objectives, I will use infiltrate to help teammates, etc. Not sure what this dude was doing, but it wasn't helping much.
Lol least cunty high level player
This dog pounced so hard it overflew and landed there, now it can't get to us. Is it stupid?
prob gets turned into a pancake the moment a crusher pack shows up
I NEED MY EXPLOIT TO WIN!!!!!!!!
It's an animation cancel and the devs even said themselves that animation cancels were an integral part of gameplay.
What they didn't want was what happened with M1 spam macro. They said that they weren't going to touch anything else, but I guess it was too complicated or too much work.
yes, yes it is
ive been doing duo auric maels but go ahead and trashtalk
Wow, an elitist. Are you serious.
it's part of an intended gameplay mechanic, but used in a way that the devs hadn't foreseen or desired. so it's an exploit.
I've been doing duo havoc 40
feel bad for the other guy. must be brutal on him.
Nobody cares blud you're a sad little creature
Stupid dog! /pulls out huge scary mask/ Booga-booga-wooga!
Okay, was funny this guy isnt that smart
he's an elitist
and thinks that duoing auric maelstroms are a flex
this is the kind of guy someone would make a strawman of
QC in general was fine, that specific instance of use was not.
Not the same thing.
You flex when you slap happy H40 or something.
We are mostly agreeing but getting hung up on small things.
u better show of your duo runs then lol
just because there's a valid use case of it doesn't mean it still isn't an exploit though. it's clearly enough of an issue that t he devs decided to just nuke the entire thing, notwithstanding the valid use case.
guys, its just rage bait. No need to continue
I mean, I really don't care. I'm just saying. once you use a macro to do something that require timing with a normal controller you're muddying the waters. It's a fact for any game, no need for "500" levels in this game to know that. but you do you 🙂
People that quell cancel are bad at the game
Ainz, just show that guy the bs you do on a daily basis or something. He sound like he has an ego bigger than his head.
why should I?
Waste of time and energy
exactly
you guys are literally the clean gameplay maximalists lol
Be of good cheer and think of something nice instead
Ainz you should record your matches
I might
"I'm good at the game" isn't really a valid excuse to act like a bag of dicks towards others.
no matter how good you are the game, there's always someone better anyway
I learn something new every day
We aren't getting anywhere in our discussion. So I'm going to drop it.
I really feel that with some of the true survivor ogryns that occasionally grace my lowly havoc 30 lobbies
To be fair, all the really good players are the super chill sort and will help you if you asked.
fair enough.
Literally full health the entire mission it's terrifying
Good ogryn players in action are peak kinotide
Well I guess it's a good thing it's a co-op game then.
doesn't feel like that sometimes... but yes 
Ainz is probably the top 0.1%
Still I will continue to claim that I'm the best at dying in Darktide!
Especially before the rework.
Do you pen dump ds5 off Gloriana at first drop?
yo guys since you were saying that duo psyker auric maels are no flex, show me your runs without using voc vets
Best I can show is deez nuts
And they're carrying my ass and I'm ok with that, some day I will carry someone else's ass in return.
no one's taking the bait lil bro
u guys are insufferable ll
you too bestie
I understood as much as if you were talking to me in an alien language 🙂
Got one better. Here's me dying on sedition.
says the guy bragging about true level
True!
Or you just do, since you got tired of doing event on higher diffs and is now trying to carry three randos.
7/10 death not bad, Needs a bit more of game jank to get to that 10/10.
A good player gets "Thanks!" and "gg" in chat for their efforts
-Sun Tzu
at least im not insulting like u guys
Dueling sword mark 5 penetration dump just to maximise dodge distance. Bonus if IJ Zealot for ezy funni fly off map.
Not quite jank. Better?
To be fair, gravity is equally dangerous in any difficulty level
true lmao
No. No macro is bannable
I think your Helldivers vids are funnier though.
No, I generally die... a lot 🙂 My best death though is when a trapper does a 90º after I dodge him at close range, still gets me and takes me to a pox Flamer AOE. just for me to die 😄
Also true. I can't use a jetpack.
it was supposed to be, but there was no bans from what I've seen and heard
It was
FS should not have been so grey about the whole thing
Theres still m1 quickswap cancel on combat axe lights
Oh, but funni deaths are funni. And why not fly off Gloriana before someone or something barrels/knocks you off?
Evidence it was even supposed to be? Only evidence I have seen is FS allows all macros
Hilarious yes.
Anyone got any good recommended brain burst builds ?
I think it was reportable since it was an exploit that kinda heavily ruins the game for others.
In Helldivers the Jank is multiplied because of ragdoll 😄 Gotta love ragdoll 😄
It isn’t grey. They allow macros. I have seen people spread that complex macros aren’t allowed (Cole) and yet no actual evidence of that. They spoke about it at the start of Darktide that all macros are allowed

They don’t penalize them even in EULA. But that just is a way to allow for them.
If they did get temp ban, it was more for ruining multiple other players enjoyment of the game.
Also, that eula says mods too. Dogshit lol
What part do you need help with?
Just the skill tree, or the weapons and curios as well?
all of it really, just a build from scratch, best synergies etc if there is one to hand
FartShack has officially said they don't care about macro usage at all
Are you able to use voicechat? I saw that you are a new player
There's a BB build in the pins under inferno.
so I can show a few things as well
and mods don't bother them as long as it doesn't impact other players nor allow access to paid cosmetics
If you mod, the mod should NOT be visible to others or affect others.
That one exploit absolutely affected everyone.
I just don’t like spreading misinformation is all.
i can later but not atm as im waiting for my son to fall asleep so im being quiet 🙂
Ainz is very good at care taking.
I cannot stress enough how not fun this is to play
but this is brain burst maxxing
Okay, when you are able to (and still want to) just @ me and I can show you a few things
but I can post that build for you to work towards
how come?
End game builds and leveling builds are very different btw.
Brain Burst is arguably the weakest blitz ability in the entire game
ill shoot you a message in 30 - 60 mins if thats ok?
Sounds good to me
The only "claim to fame" it has is that its Kinetic Flayer upgrade allows it to be used automatically
yes please
So it's taken on a lot of staff builds that have no reason to use any of the 3 blitzes
Since it's the only one that does something automatically
What level are you?
If you find it fun, that's what's important. Gun Psyker Enjoyer doesn't like staves. So differences in taste are very much a thing.
4, only had 2 games last night but i want to make sure im going down the right path and gaining a decent understanding of things as to not waste time
Okay, noted
fair enough
accurate lol
BB is pretty meh, but if you like to play it, play it.
Okay me not liking staves is not related to the whole "Brain Burst is a really bad blitz" thing
building for BB is just suffering
@plush compass There is something I will add, leveling on psyker feels terrible, and there is a build that helps with it. But it does not use Brain Burst
Just note if you bring a gunker into a game with a gunlugger, you will run out of ammo.
Or start a war on ammo pickups.
the homeing projectile one?
How am I running out of ammo on a gun that I'm barely using
Is the ogryn stealing ammo from my pockets when I'm not looking?
Yea i read this is the case
Depends on how you play. Meleekers don't care as much. The full on pewpew ones... heh.
It was a comment on taste or preference. Someone can enjoy garbage.
Embrace being a raccoon.
Brain Burst if you are still set on it
Like squeezy cheese or chips/ crisps; garbage but I like them.
Gunker and meleeker are by and large the same thing
Why is BB so awful to level with
The difference is the playstyle. More melee or more shooty.
you dont get the damage and speed buffs until later in the skill tree
around level 25
It's slow and does very bad damage relative to its speed
Also making it usable takes lot of talent points
Incredibly slow casting until you get a combat ability
ok that makes sense
Hmm got flamed by a guy for not taking care of shooters. When I had most shooters killed anyway. I thik it's cos I wasn't playing bubble so I was easy target to be flamed. 😦
Bubble knight has no bubble? Sus.
You still have to preserve ammo to shoot, no? Melee is labeled primary weapon for a reason
Was playing surge. 
end game wise, BB with bubble is a viable build and is a respected build ?
Ye I'd say so
I will say, no matter what people say. Every weapon and every talent is Viable
It's really common to see on staff psykers
play what YOU like to use
its a video game
have fun man
"meta" "optimized" does not change what fun is
Yea fun is my main priority and the build seems fun but having it viable is a bonus for me
but like you said if everything has a place then thats perfect
I think BB+Bubble is the most common psyker set up
Yeah, but some gunkers play as if they have shocktroop. Not kidding.
The world would be better if we did
Clearly gun psyker playstyle needs more buffs
Heheheh
Make it a part of Scriers Gaze that you generate peril to shoot but it costs no ammo to do so
no
BB is slow and single target. You commonly get to 3/4th a charge then something dies so your time is wasted. Later, a lot of things take more than 1 BB. It makes you engage with the leveling gear more. Psyker is very dependent on their whole tree and maxed gear more than other classes. Staves have some of the widest scaling and some are even garbage without high investment. Assail on the other hand can handle anything below a mauler and doesn't make you dependent on leveling gear.
What do you mean no haven't you seen the data
Please no more changes to scriers gaze
Nobody is playing Scriers Gaze gun psyker build so it has to be weak
Well, more ammo for others, I guess. Not like it matters for my vet.
buff it eleventy billion more times
true, it’s totally not because 40 other psyekr builds are also OP as fuck
Exise vault map too big so surge feels better there for specials and shooters killing.
They'll all keep getting buffed too eventually 🙂
Ah. Dislike it as well.

This is what max level Brain Burst looks like
As long as there is at least one smitebot/assailbot left playing that also has a reddit account psyker will continue to be in this op yet unpopular limbo
Don't mind the Invincible audio in the background
I can't stress this enough, builds here mainly focus on efficiency and damage maxing.
If you find x thing fun and it is generally shit talked, just keep playing that fun thing.
i wonder how brain burst would feel if there was a node that gave you one near instant brain burst after a melee kill
Are you sure?
I'm just tired of ppl screaming at others for ammo when everyone decided ammo hungry builds for all is a good idea. I don't care.
gives u an alternate to assail with gunker
It's so much worse when it's zealots hogging all the ammo
Brother you are a melee class
Where do your bullets keep going?
mods mute him for 3 days
NAUR!
Flamethrower is hungry 😄
it shouldn’t be
Try a plasma vet, a recon gunker and a BOOMlugger.
You just reminded me, when I was still new to gunker I once got called a jew for picking up ammo lmao
I was just fucking around with a silly vraks ag on heresy ;_;
And then you have me, the only one with survivalist and trying to ignore a wall of text arguing who should get the ammo.
looks so fun
It's not havoc, so they were all shooty happy.
Thank fuck I've experienced nothing of the sorts since
Thankfully 98% of my games have been chill or just hilarious inoffensive meltdowns
always amuses me when a SAP zealot just sprays all game
To be fair, other than the bickering over ammo, it still went fine.
Till they started to fight over the fouth use of the ammo crate.
What difficulty did that occur on karien?
I usually play damnation and aurics and encounter nothing of the sort
Just auric damn. It's the only diff with ppl here.
Wew
Is why they aren't bad, just 3 ammo vaccum builds.
At least asail gunker can manage with 3 ammo vacuums 😌
I bet you are not fun at parties...
I'm a survivalist 'nadier.
I basically pick up tins if nobody needs them. I just ignored all ammo that game. The fourth use of crate was my share.
So I put off levelling psyker for ages
and now i'm doing it
and i feel like they removed the one staff that I kinda liked from VT2
which was like an autofire little bolts or right click to charge big bolts staff?
with voidstrike now being closest
so now none of the staffs feel very enjoyable to use?
they're all going to feel bad until you hit 30 anyway
yes the bolt staff
just use assail until you reach 30
that scans
and I liked that one because the primary fire kinda felt like it was actually the purpose of the staff
with the secondary being just as valid, but more niche for heavier ones
compared to the ones we have now that feel, to me, more like the main purpose is always the right click and you can also do shitty other things without using ammo
Seconded, use assail until you hit 30, it will ease the leveling pain
I just want my machine gun staff back ;-;
They should make a staff that fires shards similar to assail but without the auto-aim.
The machine gun staff.
It's been a while, but I feel like they removed some functionality from the other staffs?
like didn't you used to be able to hold left click to charge the ball?
and then your right click 'also' did a big AoE or whatever
but instead they split that into two entire staffs
(this was in VT2)
I think it's one of the main issue of Meta / min-maxing. utility generally doesn't get enough recognition, so if the devs are centered on it due to players. Utility gets changed for something that does damage. I might be grossly wrong though.
It’s called recon las
Play right side with recon las and a big sword, boom you are a bolt wizard
fireworks wizard
i cast volley of lead
So I tried out the bubble knight build @plucky flax and it is solid. I think anticipation may actually have been helping because it did feel a lot easier to dodge stuff 😂
I was playing pretty bad because I was chatting with friends but i liked it
anticipation on gunker/meleeker build is a must have
it's not just one extra dodge, there is a lingering effect that comes with it that is also very good
so what's probably the best build for psyker?
Smite
"For what?"
so I only today found out there's a setting that makes peril overload sound not deafen you 💀 💀 💀
That's the important question
auric/havoc i guess?
what do you want to do
Allrounder?
little hard to say, guess something that can ensure i can do a decent amount of damage while also managing not to get knocked down repeatedly.
Gun psyker is very strong but has a high skill floor
I can post my gun psyker builds if you want
Have skill gain
Dodge

does it involve smite and scrier's sight?
maybe even the useage of a force sword?
optional
You can use the combat blade instead actually
Give this man a melee pysker build
I use it on my smite gunker build
To train dodges
Inferno BB 
Alright ratman
there anything to allow brain burst to charge any faster in case there's snipers, or will i have to hope there's an ogryn with a pocket full of rocks?
take kinetic resonance
and er empowered psionics
if you manage to combine the effects of both you can dish out brainbursts super fast for a limited time
right, got both of those on 1 of my builds with shriek, never seems to charge fast enough.
kinetic resonance and empowered psionics?
yeah
hm
how do you use brainburst, and do you know you no longer need line of sight to the target once you start charging it up
i mean i could hold right click, but then my running speed's slower, and my perils are ever climbing faster than if i just hold left click and brain burst any random guy
I never rmb brainburst personally
i try it sometimes, just it never feels like it's doing anything for me, rather against.
only time I do it is to preburst for when stuff like flamers/trappers/bombers round a corner and I know where they'd be
When it comes to Voidburst staff gameplay - are you mainly fully charging circles and putting them under the back part of the horde/elites, spreading dots and the occasional LMB spam in case of spicy bursters?
now I wanna put together a bb gunker build 
it's gonna be so bad though
you only have to see the sniper for long enough to start charging, and can be behind cover for the rest of it
well anyways, so any fun builds i could take into auric and havoc?
mindflayer will carry trust
None

mind flayer?
you can also just wait for them to fire once
No fun allowed in using the best build
....and maybe dodge while charging I forgot if you can.
kinetic flayer*
i know i can dodge while charging
and i thought that was what you meant
thinkin' to get into havoc just for those legendary outfits for each class.
especially ogryn and psyker, though mainly psyker
kinda like the judge dredd ass helmet he gets, even if i might consider not using it.
got my krieg gas mask after all, despite krieg probably not even really using psykers.
also unrelated but I just heard a scab gunner ingame call out a nearby poxburster, very neat
Secret loyalist scab?
so what skills should i focus on for efficiency anyways?
anything that requires perils to gain toughness?
I just joined the conversation, did you check the pins yet?
Warp Expenditure is just a worse Quietude, if you mean that talent for gaining toughness
so don't take expendature, but everything else is better?
If we are talking about the toughness talents at the top then yeah, everything is a lot better
decided to take kinetic flayer instead of prescience, this is gonna be so bad 🙈
I mean I hope it won't but last time I tried bb gunkering it was a very bad experience
Kinetic Flayer my beloved
I will try my monstrosity out on mortis first
run shotgun, have terrible horde clear and ammo economy 
wish i could screen shot the whole tree to show it.
I took dclaw and laspistol for the authentic level 1 psyker experience
As someone who runs blaze force greatsword plus double barrel anything is possible
picked quietude, battle med, smite and perks, toughness damage reduction, mind in motion, lightning speed, warp splitting, kinetic presence, anticipation, scrier's gaze and perks (with reality anchor), warp rider, and empowered psionics with perks (bio-lodestone, cause i can't count on gettin' to the elites before anyone else.
Well blade force sword for groups and carapace and shotgun for monstrosities as well as smite and yes it will be fun and goofy
talkin' to me?
at least DB will consistantly clear light/medium trash in one shot 
Also true
actually tried double barrel with psyker my self, by the way. think i prefer the full auto-guns for psyker though. maybe the revolvers and bolt guns too.
Combat shotty taking 2 shots to clear trash 🔥
Yea but as someone who uses both I love the satisfaction factor of double barrel
i get that. think it's most fun on a zealout with the charge ability though.
just charge in, and give 'em both barrels right in the face.
Not necessarily run a movement speed scrier psyker and it can get very dumb
Man, what are these teammates.
Hey, a boss spawned, time to separate so a psyker has to fight it all by himself, that's a good idea.
Bruh.
Yea I that happens a lot
Low rank? If so teammates dunno what sticking together means
eh, i've been gettin' good at slaughtering everything that comes close to me anyways using a basic force sword.
Scary monstrosity coming every person for themselves
doesn't even have to be a force sword, could be an excessively long knife.
speaking of knives, is there any real reason to use the combat knife?
I did wimp out and take ep on my bb gunker tho
bb is so atrociously slow esp without it
it doesn't seem the most efficient at killing the enemy as the catachan knife
Speed. You get a big speed boost while sprinting and charging a heavy attack.
It’s great for crowd surfing
Also with the right blessings you can easily kill crushers with it.
Most things are too slow to hit you as long as you don’t get to close with the speed
lemme guess, make it do more damage to carapace, right?
my build may be stupid but being able to block tank a daemonhost for 2 minutes was worth it 
speakin' of armor, which is carapace and which is flak, it's hard for me to tell.
Why tank the demo host if it’s not there anymore am I right 
Yeah, I was blocking a chaos spawn jsut fine, but eventually I fucked up a grab dodge.
i kinda have a feeling crushers wear carapace if anything.
Go into practice arena and shoot at enemies, it will show you.
Anyone up for damnation run?
carapace
mauler head
crusher
flak
everything else
ok, so special scabs like crusher, mauler, and rager are carapace, while ever other scab like bombers, sniper, and trapper are flak?
Crushers wear full carapace, maulers have carapace helmets and flak body armor, armored ragers have flak helmets and carapace chests, other ragers are Maniac (which is also most specialists).
Bosses and ogryns without armor are Unyielding.
If any trash mob has armor - it's flak.
ogryns without armor, ey?
Poxwalkers and dogs are infested.
so the plague ogryn then?
Join strike party 3 for damnation run
woulda' taken plague ogryn for infested.
All bosses are unyielding, I'm pretty sure.
cause i know reapers and bulwarks wear chain mail, and i think the bulwark's shield is carapace.
Infested is poxwalkers and dogs.
ah
Bulwarks and reapers do have some armor, but the unarmored bits are considered unyielding.
so what exactly is unyielding anyways?
Armor type.
well how's it work?
think Big Stuff™ (that isn't armored)
exposed reaper/bulwark bits
boss monsters
i think if he is asking if unyielding has specific modifiers like less damage or something i think
like how some bullets don't penetrate some armor
some things do less damage to unyielding
some do more
like with almost all armor types
ye i know i think he was askin if anyone know the stat spread or where to find
i never looked into because if it died thats good enough
then there is zero chance you only got one proc
unless the mission lasted 10s
or there was only chaff
must have missed it then
so which is better for shriek, creeping flames, or warp rupture?
cause i decided to take a look at my brain burst build in the psykanium have a flamer staff equipped to apply soul blaze, soul blazed every frozen enemy, and i keep hearing death sounds.

also, if i do brain burst, shriek, and let's say kinetic presence all together, how good will that be?
Yes
I hereby withdraw my previous statement about kinetic flayer being bad
I guess I just got unlucky
i'm also taking warp siphon for this.
Always creeping flames. Warp rupture is a never pick unless you want to meme. When people say shriek, it's assumed that you also have creeping flames.
Kinetic presence doesn't add any meaningful BPs (breakpoints); pick if you are working the the penance for it.
thinking i might also try brain blast with scrier's gaze and kinetic presence as well. bring along the fire staff even.
add in disrupt destiny if that's a decent one
I wonder what are the stacks of soulblaze break points for some enemies
I think it takes like 6 stacks to kill poxwalker, and wonder are those “+4 stack of soul blaze on surrounding enemies on kill” are actually impactful
the description makes it seem much better than it actually is
It's useful.
I mean the audio is pretty easy to miss tbh
Ah so helpful if you want to go down left keystone
I like this class
Every single nodes feel impactful and game changing
So many new psykers here today 
Thank you I feel very welcome.
😄
You should try the bubble knight build by UnsanctionedPsyker
I think that's too advanced for my low skill.
I prefer easy build similar to ogryn.
That's a big IF
was desperado blessing always 20%? lmao
not my problem if they dont want free tougness and dmg lol
actually, yeah it is, but so it goes
Coherency is a chain 
it actually is XD
randoms are a chain made of soup
assail/infernus/FGS/vent yell/empowered is pretty ez
burn up all the trash mobs, throw yondu arrows at shooters, and boop monstrosities on the snoot
simple as
also you dont take any ammo or grenades from your team
Assail FGS Bubble 😄 Nice and easy. feel threatened ? bubble is there with you. It's far and it's shooting at your bubble, send some blue looking stones at the guy, it's getting close get the BIG SWORD AND SMASH 😄
bubble is equally valid to vent and much less selfish
i just like all my classes to yell i guess
No, don't you dare enter my bubble. It's mine!
Bubble can't save your team from a dog through walls
i might be a child at heart but the idea of yelling at someone so loud they catch on fire is hilarious and im gonna do it
Why is there a wall between me and my team in the first place
if this was possible in real life i would find out how and master it
I would be terrified if I am that far away
It's a language barrier 🙂
Why far? They could just be in the next room 2m away 
Either you're in the Ogryn, or you're not trying

It's really not
if youre in the ogryn and you perils he can just scoop you right back up like a toddler that went uh oh
Things happen, as long as you can get to your team and they can get to you things will be fine
Ogryn should have the ability to swallow me whole to keep me safe
Piggieback psyker turret
too bad they dont have dozens of talents that reward the team remaining together or people would do that huh
Make an ogryn ability where he can put a psyker on top of his shoulders!
Ok this one is way more normal
only if we can get him to do the fastball special with zealot
can there be an ogryn ability to pick up and throw a teammate somewhere?
Staying in coherency is better of course, but it's by no means 100% required all of the time, eventually you will get separated, so better be able to not die when you are alone for a bit. People are expected to handle a certain amount of enemies by themselves 
So two ogryn playing volleyball with the Zealot ? approved!
i would pay actual money for that yeah
replace your ability to take grenades with the ability to toss teammates instead
slam dunking randoms into the elevator like Shaq
People will use it to throw teammate off cliff
Just grab a psyker on the verge of peril overload and chuck his ass at the crusher conga line for a damage bonus
that would be a good penance
sometimes, hear me out, some teammates need to go off clif
Just did a damnation mission like it's sedition.
Throw your teammate at the Deamonhost!
Good mix i think, scrier's gaze (with precognition), brain blast, kinetic presence, and disrupt destiny with perfectionism steamrolls.
Me seeing this with no context 
I've finally found it! The stupid 1st auspex on the Ascension Riser 31 map
No context needed 😉
low key brilliant, throw one of them and run, grab them up in a little while
Nothing escapes the psychokinetic lawn mower! Fucking SPEED! Your mind is grass AND I MUST FEED!
Bonus point if his the hoarding type of player, with a medipack while everybody is at low health 🙂
like i said, sometimes teammate needs to go off cliff
does the astra militarum votekick soldiers no they have a commissar simple as
Do you lose everything you carries on death btw?
Because I remember times I died carrying packs
Everything should drop, yes.
If you get ledged it leaves all your stuff at the closest solid point of contact from where you got ledged. Usually.
I’m in a habit of doing this and in havoc took so much damage from trash mobs before I popped that I straight up casualtied
2014s two people while team is rushing towards a ritual on 40
in two runs at the exactly same place
very nice fatshark
very nice
well, there's certainly a nice little workable cadence to brainbursting with scrier's gaze, warp unbound is pretty much a requirement to take full advantage of kinetic resonance though
I can make this work 
Really wish there was a pause when someone DCed and you had the option of choosing to immediately continue or waiting until the person reconnected
I'd want Fatshark to fix their servers in the first place, but they seem incapable of that 
that's..actually brilliant, if they could do it
I mean, it should be fairly simple. It's just a question of how much work it would be in their engine, since they might not have any sort of freeze function at all (which would be stupid, but it's Fatshark
)
Did they do something to purgatus in the last 2 years that made it as strong as it is today or has it always been like that
Blaze away blessing
It was strong
