No no, it isn't cause balance. Its cause it'd be op on psyker and thats a no no
Also I want flail, I miss the flail :(
i just wanna use an aoe staff that isn't the trauma staff man
Inferno is right there
or inferno
Also
nah we're not allowed to have cool 40K unique weapons GW said so
Voidstrike is an AoE
here have a new shovel
fine, i want a horde clear staff that isn't inferno or trauma
Voidstrike is a horde clear staff
fireball staff's actually perfect
Voidstrike is a jack of all trades 
kills carapace too
It's not the best at anything, but it works in any capacity... except bosses
I have a staff that can kill bosses 😎
No no no
They hit it once
and then twice
and then thrice
Stages of cripplehood
would take a thousand pre nerf voidstrike staves over inferno being meta ever
I hate playing with the flamethrowers in the tide games
But I love Inferno 😭
I have a hardon for DoTs, I'd inferno vent every game if it weren't for the fact you don't bring bubble pubs can't win games
Idk I don’t usually need bubble to win games
They're talking about Havoc 40
heh you playing with pro people then, pubs I find drops like fly in 40s without bubble
Didn’t know that part
Makes more sense then
No need for bubble if your team is good
Your team:
Of course, when I say good, that's probably like the 1% of Darktide players
My friends haven’t started havoc yet because they ain’t even doing aurics yet
Fair
I'm not a difficulty junkie so I don't always play Havoc
although, with the amount of time I have these days, I don't think I've played any Darktide since I ran with Agent, which was like a week ago? 
I usually play whatever difficulty my friends wanna do which is usually heresy
Heresy is an easy place to get stuck
Does T4 still get cursed sometimes?? Like 20 ragers out of no where??
I feel like even there bubble should theoretically be less necessary due to higher quality of players
well, you're wrong

Who said the quality of players follows the difficulty curve?
bubble, or at least smoke, is always needed if you want to have any consistency at winning 40 pubs
it's a hard truth learned from countless 40 pubs
Right? Look at this evidence. #psyker-class message
but I still spam vent since I can't derank 😏
Psyker Supremacy
I'll cash app $10 to anyone that can help out with malleus monstronum
Hah
@upper sun
Or
@deft stump
I'm on holiday. I would help when I'm back late tomorrow or Wed or so.
Unless someone wants to get me a gaming laptop for trips.
If you are willing to wait till Wed, I'll help no cost.
this question will sound stupid but what’s the best way to get a traditionally “spellblade” built for psyker?
Hhhhmmm define spellblade
because there is gunker
which is meleeker
but they use, y'know, a gun
You know I literally do not care and will just help. I'm just on holiday.
I'm just joking
either way would be awesome, been sitting on this for years now lol
I'd help but I'm indisposed currently
Just good melee and staff
Weeeeelllll it depends
Any build is going to have you using both your weapons, that's what the game is designed around
That's the only thing. No gaming laptop for trips. My school laptop can barely run 3 vs 3 WC3 so out of the question lmao.
You could do Force greatsword and voidstrike, both weapons are generalist that can handle multiple situations, and you would have assail on top for even more generalization
Yeah I think lowkey I’m being dumb and my build is already just that
Oh good point, I usually run brain burst but that seems good as well
It really depends on how much you want to melee
You can look in pins for the voidstrike build
I see
I recommend the ballspam one, as that is closer to meleeker
I usually run the Obscurus force sword
Oh right
You're Lost in Japan by Shawn Mendes
lol i get it, if we remember by then id love the help
thanks either way though
Less lost, more ded cos heavy rain in Okinawa means nothing to do but go shopping. Like to the Pokemon Center.
Though the one time I ran the force greatsword recently I got frenzied killer (3) with it
"Find me in the future!"
To be fair, I am 1 hour ahead further than usual.
slightly less in the future
No. More.
JP is like 1 hour ahead of SG.
And you know SG is GMT +8.
Is 12:29pm JP time, 11:29 SG time.
do you guys know if the "enhanced blitz" modified on maelstroms has any effect with psyker blitz?
like i know for other classes it means more ammo for their nades but im confused abt what im getting on psyker
It gives assail more charges at least
i havent used assail in mael yet
Not sure about brain burst or smite tho
i usually use smite and cant tell much of a difference since EP smite does a good amount of damage anway
but ive been using more BB and this is the first time im using it with the modifier
i was just curious lol
Maybe it’s a charge reduction?
he doesnt know
TS?
He doesn’t know
Ts means shit
"this shit"
Smite and assail are better at clearing crowds than most primary and melee weapons and brainrupture is worse at single enemy targeting than alot of primary and melee
Inferno staff is my goat for everything tbh, it does work
That and brain rupture with bubble
BB is nearly infinite range and auto locking
and if built properly can be amazing boss dps
Only affects BB and Assail
No change to smite
Peril cost reduced by 50% to BB and Assail, assail get 2 extra ammo
BB propaganda
Due to buff durations, it will never be amazing boss dps
it can be okay boss dps
its a DPS boss killer and like a mini sniper with infinite ammo
it's not
It may be meant to be one or both of those things, but it is neither, yes
thats cool for bb, i had a feeling smite was nada
Smite so strong Fatshark doesn't want to touch it
First enhanced blitz
Then mortis Trials
it will break the poor xbox players even harder
everytime i use smite and a big hoarde comes in mael or havoc they are always quick to crash
Do you have motion blur on 
Everybody has motion blur on
That's how darktide is
You have to go to settings
Then turn on and off
Yes I turn off
(or just set ini and stuff)
is bad
mine is 100% natural 😏
motion blur is like wiping a window clean just so you can put some smudges on it
🤮
That explains why I couldn't watch your other video for long
which reminds me
I am at 15 minutes 
Updato
Motion sickness 🤢
Idk if you're even doing the rapid sweeping properly, doesn't look like the stacks are applying faster than when I just hold it
the stacks don't apply faster of course, but you set more mobs on fire
oh you have the flame staff vfx mod
if your aim is to do that, you can sweep way slower
which is what I do
The rapid sweep is to try and game the system for faster stacks
very hard to do tho iirc, I never bothered
just gotta raise your pinky
does anyone use brain resonance instead of flayer
the 10 chance to insta delete a elit
flayer is a more of "I have a point left" type talent
yes
I know which talents you speak of
I dont think its bad
im liking my havok 40 bubble/inferno set up but i feel it can be so much better
it can work on havok depending on comp
for me personally if I HAVE to ditch one I'd ditch KF 😏
That ain't BB
That's the Inferno staff

KR and EP are very bad together, lots of duplicate and lost values
true
this is what im running for bubble inferno
It is a build
yeah but idk if i need to change perks for H40 or its fine the way it is
Isn't that what BM is?
it's fine
Yeah, it's way more decent than some of the other builds posted here, lol
hey
Battle Meditation is eh
dont u bad mouth my crystalline will meme do nothing
and PotS over ER is a choice
I take PotS over ER for flame staff too
but like, sufficient preference over meta if you like 🤷♂️
Only useful for Shriek
ehhh
I usually stay around 75% anyway

I am
ew
"free damage"
lags 0.01 seconds and explodes
I havent blown myself up even with 100+ms yet
a lotta wfh at my home
If your ping is wonky like mine, it can believe you let go and then register you holding it down still as a new input, thus murdering you
who wants to worship a pusbag smh
nurgle for sure
so its fine i dont need to change anything?
idk, the classic image of emps looks pretty moldy
Id ditch battle meditation
need is a strong word
and take what
soulstealer
yeah
aight

lol, looks like all the cool psykers take KR 😂
@nocturne dust
The clips of cancel swap animations with Karsolas is insane
Never thought it was possible
Good thing am not a psyker main.
How do u inspect weapon like that
Others in lobby? Mods.
Probs the same, mods.
Wtf thats crazy
Mods show too much info at times tbh. Leads to extra things some ppl use to insult others.
Hold X iirc
Hold X if you on keyboard
Oh, that inspect. I thought you mean inspect other player weapons.

Yeah the one on thumbnail lol
It is like essential for fps games at this point
Yay
I'm on limited data. Like more limited than usual.
I still don't know why they made the inspection so slow in comparison but oh well 
Knoife best.
.how does one do it
Ah, happens
I'm on holiday so...
At least I can go outside!
I'm literally in JP. So out nearly all the time lul.
Make the vacation worth it
Akiba all day, every day 
I mean, I went to Sushiro, got Robin pick. Annoyed GF with too many codes she can't use cos limited use.
Is Okinawa. Not Tokyo.
Dunno anything about any of those words here
That's normal, don't worry about it 
Is a Star Rail x Sushiro collab thing.
Shush.
Ah
I missed the SG one with Genshin like last year, would have gotten GF a Kokomi thing tbh.
She isn't there?
Nope. She comes over once in awhile to visit but yeah.
You are in Japan often?
No. This is just a holiday. She visits me when I'm back home lul.
Ah
Correction: all the stupid ugly and icky psyker mains
whats the dump stat on inferno staff?
Warp resist.
are the warp bee grenades any good for long term including max level even if i find them fun to use myself?
or well warp needles
Assail shards?
Yes. Got buffed. Only cost is no psykinetics.
yeah those guys
nice!
They work fine at high diffs yeah, typically in gun builds though
Their only weakness is carapace
So yeah you can main them
Or flame staff if you're feeling spicy

is it 
is nice to have sure, idk about essential
When you have paid weapon skins...
even then
i pay for skins, dont think ive used the feature once xd
i can already see it on the pov
But not clearly enough.
guess yall care more than me xD
I dunno. I bought a hat I can't even see.
same
except i can
3rd person mod op, guess thats why i dont care about weapon inspect
But it's really awful to play with, last time I saw Ainz mess with it.
i like it, i probably play 3rd person more than first
Probs a taste thing. But worse accuracy.
WHATS A THING?
OMG

yeah
perspectives i believe
or something like that
i might not care about my weapon, but my zealot is drippin
We're psykers
Since when has accuracy concerned us
Stares at VoidStrike.
You ppl keep telling me to dump blast radius for better accuracy at blasting weakspots.
well no
blast radius has nothing to do with accuracy
it does not effect ball size
only end explosion size, and end explosion does nothing
It staggers more things.
I think.
It does, but only if you hit the floor around your target
which is worthless
next-to-worthless, really
Wouldn't it proc on crushers as well?
Or well, shoddy angles that ends with you hitting the floor or wall through hordes.
End explosion is big enough with 60 tbh
Nu. Beeg gud. Heh.
yes, but it ain't staggering crushers
Oh no, everything around it.
And also the AoE is trash with or without dumping blast radius
so no
not anything around it

So we just need lethal prox and oggy nodes for it.
no, because that's investment
I would do it and you know it.
Imagine investing an entire build into a single thing just to take it from horrendously awful to mediocre at the best of times
stares in brainburst

Well, KF needs a halved cd.
KF isn't a bad node
but it's not BB 
Especially since it gets weapon blessings and perks
and also only triggers on enemies you wouldn't oneshot
and also enables PC/Psykinetics
none of which BB does because, y'know, you have to stop doing everything else to use it
wait kf benefits from weapon perks?

I used to run both KF and BB buffs like KR, but only on builds where my ranged weapon didn't have enough reliability killing specials from very far away (aka staff builds, because my aim with the LMB projectile is awful at that distance)
Is the only reason BB isn't f tier.
It still is. KF just makes it higher F tier than Kraks
Yes and it having lower or no CD will totally be nice.
btw, which blessing would be better to pair with Inspiring Barrage on Shredder as Caxe Meleeker: Cavalcade or Blaze Away?
if you give KF no cooldown with it still proccing on soulblaze psyker will be game breakingly overpowered
Like they're just plain old overpowered in need of a nerf currently
If KF had no cooldown they would turn the game off for everybody else
or on a scuffed BB Gunker build...
Kf only feels weak on a bb gunker
Well, halved CD basically.
just make BB itself suck less lmao
No CD should be a Mortis thing though.
I think the point tax of getting bb and sg both should be enough to dissuade any reasonable players from trying it anyways
BB is a tool, not a weapon
Weapons by definition are a type of tools
combat axe is also more of a tool and it's still disgusting

ogryn pickaxe is a literal tool that obliterates
BB is F tier.
Hate to break it to you.
I mean, like, it isn't really your plan to brain burst as a priority, but you often get targets annoyingly out of staff range or moving around too much, and if you can't rely on your team to deal with them, it can be a good option.
Literally only Inferno
Naw, F+ with KF.
and even then, I would take assail if not for BB's position in the tree
Nope, F. KF isn't BB, just like Wildfire and Psykinetics aren't
Yeah, BB is in the way
I like brain rupture in inferno and voidblast
Laterally moving targets. Ability to precook. Just easier to hit in general.
I could miss 90% of my shots and still be faster on LMB than BB
Accuracy don't matter if it takes you ages to do anything
Unless 400 ping.
GL with projectiles.
Well, high enough ping means I ain't hitting anything with anything
Exaggeration tbh.
Not.
BB works, as does hitscans half the time.
Projectiles just do 0 damage.
You experience lag differently than me
BB does not work
Nothing does
Well, if teammate KSes...
What can I say, is like kraks.
at least BB is infinite
staff bash is good with warp splitting and charged strike 👍

Is hilarious.
Ask Hamdol.
I understand why you don't use staves now 
post some gameplays, let us see this magical aim of yours
Think you are disregarding enemy density/evasive bombers.
I mean, without the use of mods BB isn't really better through density and can't target through walls to hit stupid hiding bombers
And you have to rate things without mods unless you are basically dumb.
It's not magical, my aim is awful. BB takes 1-3 seconds. In that time, you can easily spit out quite a few LMB without any cancelling. It's an easy calculus.
The difference between BB and LMB in a mass of enemies is very little, BB's main advantage is when the coast is clear and you can just sweep across an area for that lone trapper running at you
whereas LMB you'll have to actually point and stay pointed at the trapper
Again, ignoring mods, which are fair to have but also something that should be left out of discussions of balance unless we're talking about the balance of mods vs no mods or another directly-relevant topic, which we are not 
Or prefiring to where she is moving to.
I mean, yes, but that's honestly not too hard
I wouldn't even bother using BB/LMB on trappers anyway
cant
Trappers run at you
and you have infinite cleave
The math is easy
I reserve BB/LMB for enemies that won't run at you. So, basically just bombers, snipers, and maybe a gunner/reaper in a bad spot
Is fine, I'll help on Wed.

I could help out with mm in a couple hours
You can also murder a Crusher from far away with BB
Eventually
I run BB with KF and EP (no upgrade) on some build for the extra random damage on elite and the BB charge speed that needed to kill some long range targets.
Mostly run with Inferno.
You don't have any reason to, though, and are unlikely to do so before it gets into range
unless you spend buffs on it
the buffs that have a short duration and you need for more important things
The higher the difficulty, the worse it becomes.
those buffs
Killing crusher with BB can almost put you on max peril.
While spending like 15 seconds for 1 kill.
Struggling a lot to deal with range while using inferno. BB seems to be too slow and leaves me vulnerable at melee range. If there’s a shield available I get that I can close the gap but that’s not always the case and also the shield can break faster than expected. I’ve only recently started using this build. All this time (in my ~50 hours) I’ve basically played EK stuff and these situations have never been an issue. But I want to learn the inferno playstyle as well.
Try assail maybe
Or just walk up closer
Use cover and slide
Dodge
Yeah I thought about it but the pathing and the fact that I miss on soul blaze stuff makes me think I’m gimping myself further
Use the horde to hide you as well
you are
Assail is nice, but weaker for Inferno
Just gotta deal with the clunkiness of BR. It gets better the more used to it you get.
I mean that is true, as inferno psyker your job is the shit you can reach
Oh, you can Shriek as well for midrange
Your choices are basically: slide, dodge, cover, Empathic Evasion, shriek, shield, and finally, BB
BB is last for a reason 
if ragers kill me blame the ogryn
You are bad at the game


BB is fine but it falls off in havoc
You know what happens to people who are mean to me
no
It's mediocre at every difficulty, if not worse
That's how you summon Ainz or VECT.
You can always kill anything quicker with so many tools
I only use it for disablers / gunners
its ok theyre asleep
Nah, it's peak at Sedition
The literally only time to use BB is when you can't hit the thing with anything else
So you say. Can I introduce you to revolver?
Or EK
or Vraks
People who use bb for cara are silly
Or really any gun
Das what uncanny is for
@nocturne dust for being mean to me I’m gonna lock you in asmongold’s house
I apologize I meant no offense
I only spoke the truth
Me when I lie

That's where everything is buried
Imagine doing this to somebody
Infinite cockroach duplication glitch working 2025
Unpatchable
Actually I got it wrong
FyreStone is so good at the game they don't need meta
which is why they don't know what is good

and you have to add garlic
That's only one of the main advantage, the real advantage is the fact you can lock and forget on mobs, which is extremely self evident in my own and others videos. LMB requires you to hit literal headshots without miss to even compete, which is practically impossible with mobs moving and dodging left and right from suppression
Tbh I’m never using bb in a horde
It would be... if you couldn't immediately kill the enemy with LMB
like these mythical LMB without quell canceling, I'd really need to see videos
Only to pick off
excuse me
do you think LMB sucks without quell cancelling?

It was a viable build before the cancel craze
conmpared to BB? especially KR BB? absolutely without a doubt
wow
it's all words here, just post gameplay videos
I will literally go LMB spam an Auric, you go BB spam an Auric, and we see who wins
Auric LOL, well in that case I will just spam assail and I win
Aoe bb
Bet
I mean, I don't have the option of playing Havoc 
Nobody plays it these days
cuz it sucks
but honestly, even in auric, especially due to the fact BB one shots everything in auric, your argument is still sus af
Cuz ur bad
I don't know for sure since I haven't touched auric in months
Yes, very bad, I need meta to survive 😭
but I know for a fact LMB has got nothing on BB in 40s
It doesn't
Lmao, BB needs buffs to one-shot in normal dam
Not on everything
And BB won't be one-shotting crushers or bulwarks
Well, you're just wrong
I tried non crit zealot with crusher and a did nothing and died 
I have 40s, we can queue up anytime, don't be shy 
wat server r u
So now I run crit crusher
I'm West, but I can play East np

I'm west 
there you go
We should play sometime
Reject burga embrace bubble knight
we should, and you better start recording 😏
perfect
what psyker leveling talent tree should i go with?
i think my current one is outdated
Usually just right side until you get deeper into the tree
does left side include the assail needles?
But yes, assail side
Once you get deeper into the tree, you get some nice buffs for staffs
nice i have been using a revolr, but mabye i should switch back to staves?
Up to you, you're deep enough you can use a staff no problem
Worth grabbing soul stealer at the top too
7.5% toughness on warp attack kill is great
pick mind in motion again
mind im motion?
it's one of the nodes you've picked in that image
ah
alright i spend all my current talent points
what is the best psyker staff?
for both long, mid and close range?
All of them are good
Elektro or Voidblast 
For the route your going I’d go electric
They all have their strengths
Fire staff will feel meh on lower diffs
Though if you are leveling voidstrike or EK will serve you well
For all 3 ranges?
All except inferno
Voidblast is also shit until you deck it out
EK feels great out of the box
But you've gone the wrong side for a staff build lol
You can just copy the meta build for each staff until you unlock it all, if thats the route you want to go.
Left side with shriek, right side with scriers
I’m able to turn my brain off against bon
EK?
Electro kinetic
Elektro staff
Shrieks nice until you get used to edging your peril
Melee psyker because of those right nodes
Revolver good
@mossy slate
so Las pistol?
You can use ek or any gun with finesse
Psyker does benefit from high fire rate, high crit chance weapons though. Like recon las or Infantry autogun
That, revolver, infantry auto, recon las
Ek is fun because you don’t have to worry about ammo
You can also use voidstrike for your current build as well
true
got cha
Hose them with electricity
thanks again guys ^^
i like u for u
For your general question to “what staff is best”. EK is best non havoc staff. Inferno is best for havoc unless you are good with voidblast then it is right there with it
that’s good any melee weapon works with melee psyker
And going back to the best staff yeah inferno is the best
4 million damage in havoc

Wif shrike
Farming damage from healing aura 
Any weapon can deal 4 million damage if your team is bad enough 
this entire section had zero enemies
So real
I pray the dot reaches them
And pray my psy aura gives zealot his book instantly
Havoc 101 keep the psyker alive
Not really doe
Wanna do an all vet havoc
Or try melee psyker havoc again
Yeah. Normal dmg for psyker in havoc is 1.3-1.8 million or so. Past that your team sucks or it is healing mod
if your team is good you might not even be top dmg with purg
Another person becomes a Smyker because of you 😞
Ogryn can do a lot of damage. Vet can too.
Zealot it depends on how much ammo he uses on flamer 
laughs in relic blade
Pure melee damage ogryn is clear.
Clear what? 🤔
The only reason I don't hate the guts of Psyker
Is because Zealot exists 
If you’re looking for a good force sword I like the illisi with uncanny strike + riposte, flak + maniac, with warp resistance dump stat
nice, is that hard to get?
Well, until you are flush with money. Yes
The right roll that as 80 in everything but warp res at 60 kinda
huh
You gotta gamble for the right roll
After that it’s just leveling it up and putting the blessing and perks on it
@young cliff weren’t you the one who brought the tac axe into havoc?
I vaguely remember talking to you about it
Try to get warp res as low as possible whilst others at 80
Something like <50 would be decent
In a low end, 23 or lower iirc, it works surprisingly well in practice at that havoc and in a mock test for H40 vs a band of like 6 ragers,
It NEEDS the perk that turns block stamina cost into peril but it can clear hordes with quite a lot of safety (maybe more than the illisi FS)
I myself always ugprade to 500 weapon level (max stats), so I tend to have 60 warp res either way.
my reasoning is simple: I use a mod that lets me name my weapons, and if I don't sort them all by power level, they use their default names for the alphabetical order sorting, thus confusing me... (I also forget to scroll down to the bottom of the list if I want to find a specific weapon...)
I was gonna say it might far better on melee psyker, melee psyker is a challenge on havoc but fun
Wanna use something else besides the fgs or ds in havoc
For melee psyker
Combat axe?
Meleeker is totally capable in havoc, but needs other tools to face the challenges, and yeah, I used Taxe with gaze, surprisingly good work
@plucky flax how would scries combat axe fair in havoc?
I dunno probably okay I don't play gazer in havoc.
High havoc as so many sheep that you need more the staffs, so the other skills are more useful for offense and defense
I can test it there
Datatide can set you a H40 game with the stacks to try
I see
Turn invisibility on and off
Or just spawn shit and then fight it with invis off
Anyone got a good Electrokinetic staff build? Maelstrom and below is fine, don't need havoc specific tweaks
Ah, just saw one in the pins :)
Is it worth taking the increased damage to electrified targets if I go Smite?
Do I need to complete my assignment to progress on havoc or can I do any higher level and still get ranks?
any higher level
I personally rarely use it even when I spec to it and when I do it’s not for long enough for the 10% to make a difference. (I think 😅)
If anything in my mind the extra jump is more useful
I'm talking an Electrokinetic build here though
iirc it applies that damage boost on RMB'd targets too right?
Same
idk if that would help with monstrosity damage or something?
I don’t think smite is meant to be used in monstrosities
No but electrokinetic
I thinks smite works best when it’s use for a couple of seconds to get you to the team out of a pickle
The staff gets the same bonus right? From the wording
It's all targets I electrify, according to the text.
But text in this game is often misleading
Someone else should be able to answer that
What do you drop for that potential 10% though?
Cause that’s important
If you're planning on using smite for damage, yes
I'm planning to have it boost my electrokinetic staff itself
does it do that
No, they removed that interaction ages ago iirc
right, all I needed lol
I will skip it for warp charges then
or whatever I dumped out I can't remember now
Does soulblaze crit?
No
Nope, but inferno staff does crit and gives bonus soulblaze stacks when it does
but soulblaze itself does not crit
You can get 100% EE uptime with a gun like Vraks Infantry Auto or Recon Lasgun
Tfw psyker has better ranged resistance than what is supposed to be the ranged shooter class

I mean, the majority of psyker builds don't
and even the ones that do, you're dead as soon as you have to reload
The one that’s the closest analogue to vet does tho
I'd definitely prefer Vet's toughness to psyker's ability to maybe not take damage sometimes

no more weapons imperium forgor the rest
no

kerillian
Is havoc profress shared between characters?
yes
Profress
praytell
Sure but now you have vet stamina and lose all your infinite cleave and AOE sources of damage. 
shredder spam
Yeah vets great at being a checks notes ammo dispenser. Truly a top four class. 🔥
They’re good at yellow too
That and VOC are all that are preventing vet from being the fifth strongest class in the game
Smoke is shit
Plasma makes me fall asleep
I’m surprised that anybody can play it for a full forty minutes
How does gifs not have Steve from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs holding his hads up covered in "yellow"?
If you have a second vet
But who the fuck wants a second vet
Yeah sure give up the one truly good blitz, and then path all the way across back the tree for survivalist
Really selling it
If the 1st vet has survivalist, do you need to run survivalist as well?
There is enough ranged to justify smokes
And it performs well
Captains and the ranged twin dont shoot/throw mines. In bubble they still will
@patent mango In abiotic factor while fishing, what does it mean when a shadow just keeps moving around your bobber in a wide circle but never bites. Wider than normal fishing.
No, that’s why I said second vet could run smoke
Sure. Not the meta pick though. I don’t give a shit about havoc and even I know that lol
Means the fish is smart and bored, maybe 
huh? never had this happen to me
wher r u trying to fish
||Canaan. The "fresh water" sections. Like the swamp. It does it in some other areas too.||
I've tried different kinds of bait.
maybe its bugged and needs insulated rod for those too?
I'm using that rod and I have level 15 fishing.
I reloaded the server and still the same. Light doesn't change the outcome either.
scary fishy spin...
whats a good Curio Blessings and Perk combo
and the perks?
1 tough 1hp and1 stam
All wounds 
Main utility of HP is that it stops you from instantly dying to two poxburster pops
😭
Weapon dumps maybe.
Maybe get Warudo to write the gunker post. Stream of consiousness style would be funny.
I still have big sword adive saved,
hordes lllh elites heavy spam
sometimes i do lllh for elites anyways cause theres hordes too (might be peak on high buffs)
h1 l4 overhead spam good when im on high buffs to 1 shot gunners faster (l4 wont 1 shot on havoc)
h1 l4 for scab captain shields always idk why it just seems to do it well
whenever theres ogryns and at least some horde i wanna do special even at half essence to max malefic and get 1 shots
max special is best against gunners/shotgunners
sometimes i try to get some essence from the special slash melee portion but thats goofy with hits cancelling it so idk
bulwarks can frick off so just open them with either max essence wave or pa
i always do the funny sprint attack against separated 1 shottable elites cause it cool
ermm
light spam is ok if theres gunners mixed in horde
and ur at high buffs
whenever light goes to bottom left the follow up is heavy stab so its good to frick over some random elite if they're annoying you as you horde clear
max charge is also funny for staggering all the ragers
not that they'll have much hp after
h2llh2 also exists idk ig its cool to get some horde clear done together with ogryn clear
h2 stabs are peak for rager murder and cspawns
idk if i can yap anything else this is all for mk6 idk how much is useful eithe
https://imgur.com/a/O1FT7vx smokes completely trivialize twins on havoc because they turn off Rodin's AI
Yeah that’s cool. I think smokes have great utility, but many other things let them down
I want to like them 
I'd agree with normal content, where Veteran is a powerhouse
In Havoc, you're basically support
Yell at your teammates to make them feel better and help them by making them not see. Because they can't see, neither can the enemies. 
🎵 Havoc is inherently unbalanced 🎵
Easier to put some multipliers on things to ramp them up or down than to rework the whole system

its not a skill issue when you spawn 2 bosses and the twins the moment we step out of the safe zone
https://imgur.com/a/qp1lKq2 like what
they also enable you to play stupid aggressive into ranged enemies because they are literally an infinite health psyker dome that you get three of
I hate that everyone defaulted to talking about balance in Havoc 😭
they also last 30 seconds while psyker dome on even auric damn lasts maybe 8 seconds
honestly the ability sucks ass and using it more myself I am confident that anybody who uses or "needs" it has a skill issue
bubble is a crutch that people use to avoid learning the game no different than DS
Sure
Bad pathing? Not being able to take the best source of AOE damage, infinite cleave and stagger?
but that's below Havoc 30
it gets exponentially more that the higher havoc you go
because it won't last through larger swarms of shooters
and will force you to play without it more often than not
and if you are a bubble reliant player you will not live
It has an invulnerability period after taking damage, and its 'health' isn't really health but # of hits
so it doesn't care about the damage of any hit
Sure, but bubble does allow you moments of untamed aggression
which is why it is meta, is actually improves your DPS by letting you DPS instead of worrying about bullets flying at you
Things can be a comfort pick too.
I know gunker semi-commonly can just ignore bullets
but the rest of the team can't
holy true
and neither can staffker
rare meow and void agreement
if you are worrying about bullets flying at you you are out of position
and should be playing around or near cover
my 2nd most played is vet, followed by ogryn
gunners are not a problem if you are not an idiot
on old havoc yes they were a problem because one stalker instantly kills you before you can blink
You can still worry about bullets flying at you
on new havoc it's a skill issue and bad habits that you need to unlearn
while being near a corner
though even on new havoc I'm pretty sure Reapers have wallhacks
Like, for one, there's only so much space you can run away
Reapers specifically are still an issue on new havoc for me, and no other ranged enemy is a substantial problem
especially if you just dropped down a ledge
tanky, high stagger resist, frequently just decide to shoot through walls
very cool enemy
I do but you know what happens? Because it happens with bulwarks too
the first hit of the force sword push attack gives them a minor stagger
which gives them stagger resistance that makes the actual push attack not knock them over :)
yeah
:(
stagger resistance shouldn't be on bulwarks at all
oh and lets not forget the super speedy melee twin, i feel like sometimes he just teleports
if stagger is going to be their primary source of conterplay
she moves super fast
it's almost like stagger immunity was a rushed and incomplete solution

hmmm i wonder what this could be in reference to
i remember that !
bulwarks getting light staggered by gunners/shotgunners behind them so they don’t attack or get staggered by ur attacks
makes me
despair
I fucking hate stagger res so much it's unreal
Omfg
yeah and then I'm playin exe bolter vet
You will embrace the damage meta

so nothing happens
and lets not forget rituals, sometime i don't know how the rituals radius is, sometime its across the map and sometimes its lclose
vt mentioned?
hi ainz
half the reason Voidblast staff is my favorite is bulwarks
I use it over a gun on gun psyker when I get particularly sick of them
shot the elv
And even when I'm not particularly sick of them I'm running Bolt Pistol because of them
the issue is damage will always be meta, stagger doesn’t matter if the target is dead
also stagger BPs are really hard to build for
🎵 Tale as old as time 🎵
the only stagger BP people ever build for is ragers
and even then that’s just taking greivous wounds on zealot
not taking a stagger blessing
ogryn is really the only class that can make it work
Definitely haven't complained about this exact problem and provided a theoretical change/fix in this exact Discord in this exact channel
😇
(see: crusher getting slaughtered and it immediately becoming meta over a stagger BP)
was i there for that
if i was then i do not remember
Uh, probably not
i think honestly fixing a lot of the super OP weapons, and curbing the power creep, would seriously help with the damage meta
it’d still be meta, but by nerfing things like DS4 and karsolas, to the point where you can’t kill a crusher in like half a second, being able to stagger enemies consistently would gain significantly more value
i honestly believe the only weapon that should be able to one shot a crusher is thunder hammer
and branx pick
nothing else should
maybe the evis with the chastise trick
but that’s really it
consistent and easy one shots should only be thammer n pick
that would allow crushers to be spread out more and not always have to be in packs of 6 to have any effect
(one shot/kill in less than a second)
weapons like knife or DS with high mobility need their damage nerfed significantly, to encourage usage of their mobility and as a weapon with weaker but fast, precise attacks
to put them in a niche of like death by a thousand cuts
It was my discussion with Path about stagger BPs and immunity. My idea was to do away with the current system and instead scale stun time to stagger value (animations being adjusted in play speed for the different times, and switching to harder stun animations if long enough), with stagger resistance being added after each stagger in quick succession that would reduce the stagger value applied to the target, and thus the stun time.
mmmm
how "death of a thousand cuts" are we talking here
like 700 damage per hit i guess
so about 4-5 hits
