literally doesn't matter

blissful pulsar
#

No no, it isn't cause balance. Its cause it'd be op on psyker and thats a no no

nocturne dust
#

Doesn't need it

blissful pulsar
#

Also I want flail, I miss the flail :(

tacit minnow
#

i just wanna use an aoe staff that isn't the trauma staff man

nocturne dust
#

Inferno is right there

tacit minnow
#

or inferno

nocturne dust
#

Also

weary idol
nocturne dust
#

Voidstrike is an AoE

weary idol
#

here have a new shovel

nocturne dust
#

it's a straight line AoE chadgryn

#

(unless carapace)

tacit minnow
#

fine, i want a horde clear staff that isn't inferno or trauma

nocturne dust
#

Voidstrike is a horde clear staff

tacit minnow
#

fireball staff's actually perfect

dull scroll
#

the pre nerf VS

#

maybe

nocturne dust
#

Voidstrike is a jack of all trades KEKW_ogryn

weary idol
#

kills carapace too

nocturne dust
#

It's not the best at anything, but it works in any capacity... except bosses

dull scroll
#

pref nerf VS was extremely sexy

#

then they made it a cripple

weary idol
nocturne dust
#

They hit it once

#

and then twice

#

and then thrice

nocturne dust
#

Stages of cripplehood

weary idol
#

would take a thousand pre nerf voidstrike staves over inferno being meta ever

#

I hate playing with the flamethrowers in the tide games

nocturne dust
#

But I love Inferno 😭

weary idol
#

They're goddamn annoying to have around

#

And I don't like playing them

nocturne dust
#

Sounds like somebody needs a dose of the heavy flamer

dull scroll
#

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

nocturne dust
#

DoTs are the God Emperor's way of fixing the error of breakpoints

Makes more sense then

nocturne dust
#

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

balmy kestrel
#

My friends haven’t started havoc yet because they ain’t even doing aurics yet

nocturne dust
#

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? KEKW_ogryn

balmy kestrel
#

I usually play whatever difficulty my friends wanna do which is usually heresy

nocturne dust
#

Heresy is an easy place to get stuck

strong gulch
#

Does T4 still get cursed sometimes?? Like 20 ragers out of no where??

weary idol
nocturne dust
#

Who said the quality of players follows the difficulty curve?

dull scroll
#

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

deft stump
balmy kestrel
#

this question will sound stupid but what’s the best way to get a traditionally “spellblade” built for psyker?

nocturne dust
#

Hhhhmmm define spellblade

#

because there is gunker

#

which is meleeker

#

but they use, y'know, a gun

deft stump
nocturne dust
#

I'm just joking

signal anvil
nocturne dust
#

I'd help but I'm indisposed currently

balmy kestrel
#

Just good melee and staff

nocturne dust
#

Weeeeelllll it depends

#

Any build is going to have you using both your weapons, that's what the game is designed around

deft stump
nocturne dust
#

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

balmy kestrel
#

Yeah I think lowkey I’m being dumb and my build is already just that

balmy kestrel
nocturne dust
#

It really depends on how much you want to melee

nocturne dust
balmy kestrel
#

I see

nocturne dust
#

I recommend the ballspam one, as that is closer to meleeker

balmy kestrel
#

I usually run the Obscurus force sword

nocturne dust
#

That's also a generalist weapon

#

It works fine

jovial juniper
signal anvil
#

thanks either way though

deft stump
balmy kestrel
#

Though the one time I ran the force greatsword recently I got frenzied killer (3) with it

nocturne dust
deft stump
nocturne dust
#

slightly less in the future

deft stump
#

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.

summer timber
#

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

balmy kestrel
summer timber
balmy kestrel
#

Not sure about brain burst or smite tho

summer timber
#

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

balmy kestrel
#

Maybe it’s a charge reduction?

polar flower
#

Brain rupture is complete ts

#

Assail and Smite and way better

summer timber
balmy kestrel
balmy kestrel
polar flower
summer timber
#

"this shit"

balmy kestrel
#

Aha

#

Smite removes the fun from the game imo so I refuse to use it

polar flower
#

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

balmy kestrel
#

Inferno staff is my goat for everything tbh, it does work

#

That and brain rupture with bubble

verbal thistle
#

BB is nearly infinite range and auto locking

#

and if built properly can be amazing boss dps

jovial juniper
#

No change to smite

#

Peril cost reduced by 50% to BB and Assail, assail get 2 extra ammo

nocturne dust
#

Due to buff durations, it will never be amazing boss dps

weary idol
summer timber
summer timber
#

its not great

#

but thats what its intended to be

nocturne dust
#

It may be meant to be one or both of those things, but it is neither, yes

summer timber
jovial juniper
#

Smite so strong Fatshark doesn't want to touch it

#

First enhanced blitz

#

Then mortis Trials

summer timber
#

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

nocturne dust
#

Do you have motion blur on whatthefuck_heresy

jovial juniper
#

Everybody has motion blur on

#

That's how darktide is

#

You have to go to settings
Then turn on and off

nocturne dust
#

Yes I turn off

jovial juniper
#

(or just set ini and stuff)

nocturne dust
#

is bad

dull scroll
nocturne dust
#

motion blur is like wiping a window clean just so you can put some smudges on it

nocturne dust
#

That explains why I couldn't watch your other video for long

#

which reminds me

I am at 15 minutes loregryn

nocturne dust

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

dull scroll
#

the stacks don't apply faster of course, but you set more mobs on fire

sturdy reef
#

oh you have the flame staff vfx mod

nocturne dust
#

which is what I do

sturdy reef
#

also obscurus

#

based

nocturne dust
#

The rapid sweep is to try and game the system for faster stacks

#

very hard to do tho iirc, I never bothered

sturdy reef
#

I use a glass mousepad and good skates

#

isn't too bad

nocturne dust
#

well we can't all be fancy

sturdy reef

just gotta raise your pinky

sturdy reef
remote nacelle
#

does anyone use brain resonance instead of flayer

nocturne dust
#

Kinetic Resonance

#

and instead of?

#

They're not mutually exclusive

remote nacelle
sturdy reef
#

flayer is a more of "I have a point left" type talent

nocturne dust
#

I know which talents you speak of

sturdy reef
#

kinetic resonace is nice on empowered psionics

#

I dont use it otherwise

nocturne dust
#

KR is only for a BB build

#

and a BB build is 💀

sturdy reef
#

I dont think its bad

remote nacelle
#

im liking my havok 40 bubble/inferno set up but i feel it can be so much better

sturdy reef
#

it can work on havok depending on comp

dull scroll
#

for me personally if I HAVE to ditch one I'd ditch KF 😏

nocturne dust
#

That's the Inferno staff

sturdy reef
#

its just for special killing speed

#

lay down bubble and pop a bunch of specials

dull scroll
sturdy reef
#

true

nocturne dust
#

KR and EP are bad separate too

remote nacelle
#

this is what im running for bubble inferno

nocturne dust
#

It is a build

remote nacelle
#

yeah but idk if i need to change perks for H40 or its fine the way it is

nocturne dust
#

Isn't that what BM is?

dull scroll
#

it's fine

sturdy reef
#

Id get the + toughness on warp kills instead of BM

#

but looks fine to me

nocturne dust
#

Yeah, it's way more decent than some of the other builds posted here, lol

sturdy reef
#

hey

nocturne dust
#

Battle Meditation is eh

sturdy reef
#

dont u bad mouth my crystalline will meme do nothing

nocturne dust
#

and PotS over ER is a choice

sturdy reef
#

I take PotS over ER for flame staff too

nocturne dust
#

but like, sufficient preference over meta if you like 🤷‍♂️

nocturne dust
sturdy reef
#

ehhh

since shriek needs peril

I havent blown myself up even with 100+ms yet

nocturne dust
#

Dang, someone has stable ping

sturdy reef
#

a lotta wfh at my home

nocturne dust
#

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

sturdy reef
#

yeah, I dont get spikes very much

#

so I can edge

nocturne dust
#

You clearly serve Slaanesh

who wants to worship a pusbag smh

nocturne dust

can't tell if you're talking about nurgle or emps

sturdy reef

nurgle for sure

so its fine i dont need to change anything?

idk, the classic image of emps looks pretty moldy

with the crosshair, i dont have a problem

OMG

or something like that

#

i might not care about my weapon, but my zealot is drippin

nocturne dust
#

Since when has accuracy concerned us

deft stump
#

You ppl keep telling me to dump blast radius for better accuracy at blasting weakspots.

nocturne dust
#

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

deft stump
#

I think.

nocturne dust
#

It does, but only if you hit the floor around your target

#

which is worthless

#

next-to-worthless, really

deft stump
#

Or well, shoddy angles that ends with you hitting the floor or wall through hordes.

rigid sky
#

End explosion is big enough with 60 tbh

deft stump
rigid sky
#

I do wonder whether it is the same for a SG build though

#

Since peril isn't real

nocturne dust
deft stump
nocturne dust
#

And also the AoE is trash with or without dumping blast radius

#

so no

#

not anything around it

Imagine investing an entire build into a single thing just to take it from horrendously awful to mediocre at the best of times

deft stump
#

Well, KF needs a halved cd.

nocturne dust
#

KF isn't a bad node

#

but it's not BB KEKW_ogryn

#

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

strange wyvern
verbal thistle
#

Yes

#

And EP damage

patent steeple
deft stump
weary idol
#

It still is. KF just makes it higher F tier than Kraks

deft stump
patent steeple
#

btw, which blessing would be better to pair with Inspiring Barrage on Shredder as Caxe Meleeker: Cavalcade or Blaze Away?

weary idol
#

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

patent steeple
wraith sphinx
#

Kf only feels weak on a bb gunker

deft stump
#

Well, halved CD basically.

strange wyvern
deft stump
#

No CD should be a Mortis thing though.

wraith sphinx
#

I think the point tax of getting bb and sg both should be enough to dissuade any reasonable players from trying it anyways

rigid sky
#

BB is a tool, not a weapon

wraith sphinx
#

Weapons by definition are a type of tools

strange wyvern
#

ogryn pickaxe is a literal tool that obliterates

nocturne dust
#

Hate to break it to you.

rigid sky
#

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.

deft stump
nocturne dust
#

and even then, I would take assail if not for BB's position in the tree

nocturne dust
#

Yeah, BB is in the way

rigid sky
#

I like brain rupture in inferno and voidblast

nocturne dust
#

VB there's no reason, just lmb

#

Like literally lmb is faster at any range

rigid sky
nocturne dust
#

Accuracy don't matter if it takes you ages to do anything

deft stump
#

GL with projectiles.

nocturne dust
rigid sky
nocturne dust
deft stump
#

Projectiles just do 0 damage.

nocturne dust
#

BB does not work

#

Nothing does

deft stump
#

What can I say, is like kraks.

weary idol
#

at least BB is infinite

nocturne dust
#

So's staff bash

#

Infinite does not equal good

weary idol
#

staff bash is good with warp splitting and charged strike 👍

nocturne dust
deft stump
#

Ask Hamdol.

nocturne dust
dull scroll
analog agate
nocturne dust
deft stump
#

And you have to rate things without mods unless you are basically dumb.

nocturne dust
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

deft stump
nocturne dust
#

I mean, yes, but that's honestly not too hard

#

I wouldn't even bother using BB/LMB on trappers anyway

upper sun
nocturne dust
#

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

deft stump
marble crater
wraith sphinx
#

I could help out with mm in a couple hours

rigid sky
#

You can also murder a Crusher from far away with BB

glacial vapor
#

Eventually

upper sun
#

u cant murder a dog with BB without warprider

#

BB buffs when??????????

wispy bay
#

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.

nocturne dust
#

unless you spend buffs on it

#

the buffs that have a short duration and you need for more important things

wispy bay
#

The higher the difficulty, the worse it becomes.

nocturne dust
#

those buffs

wispy bay
#

Killing crusher with BB can almost put you on max peril.

#

While spending like 15 seconds for 1 kill.

zinc atlas
#

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.

prime elk
#

Or just walk up closer

marble crater
#

Dodge

zinc atlas
# prime elk Try assail maybe

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

nocturne dust
#

Use the horde to hide you as well

nocturne dust
#

Assail is nice, but weaker for Inferno

rigid sky
nocturne dust
#

BB is arse tho

#

Your literal objective is to use it as little as possible

rigid sky
#

I mean that is true, as inferno psyker your job is the shit you can reach

#

Oh, you can Shriek as well for midrange

nocturne dust
#

If ranged kills you, blame the vet

rigid sky
#

Shriek is really good as a range extender

#

But Brain Rupture is a solid plan C

nocturne dust
#

Your choices are basically: slide, dodge, cover, Empathic Evasion, shriek, shield, and finally, BB

#

BB is last for a reason KEKW_ogryn

Yeah it looks like melee psyker lol

I’d do ek

You can just copy the meta build for each staff until you unlock it all, if thats the route you want to go.

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

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

@young cliff weren’t you the one who brought the tac axe into havoc?

#

I vaguely remember talking to you about it

plucky flax
#

Try to get warp res as low as possible whilst others at 80

#

Something like <50 would be decent

young cliff
#

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)

patent steeple
# plucky flax Something like <50 would be decent

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...)

proper osprey
#

Wanna use something else besides the fgs or ds in havoc

#

For melee psyker

#

Combat axe?

young cliff
#

Meleeker is totally capable in havoc, but needs other tools to face the challenges, and yeah, I used Taxe with gaze, surprisingly good work

proper osprey

@plucky flax how would scries combat axe fair in havoc?

#

Isn’t there a mod that lets you have dd in the meat grinder?

High havoc as so many sheep that you need more the staffs, so the other skills are more useful for offense and defense

Do I need to complete my assignment to progress on havoc or can I do any higher level and still get ranks?

If anything in my mind the extra jump is more useful

zinc atlas
#

Same

rigid sky
#

idk if that would help with monstrosity damage or something?

zinc atlas
#

I don’t think smite is meant to be used in monstrosities

rigid sky
#

No but electrokinetic

zinc atlas
#

I thinks smite works best when it’s use for a couple of seconds to get you to the team out of a pickle

rigid sky
#

The staff gets the same bonus right? From the wording

zinc atlas
#

Oh mate I wouldn’t know

#

Does it 🤔

rigid sky
#

It's all targets I electrify, according to the text.

#

But text in this game is often misleading

zinc atlas
#

Someone else should be able to answer that

What do you drop for that potential 10% though?

Cause that’s important

jovial juniper

No, they removed that interaction ages ago iirc

I will skip it for warp charges then

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

but that's below Havoc 30

weary idol

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

nocturne dust
#

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

weary idol
#

I do but you know what happens? Because it happens with bulwarks too

weary idol
#

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 :)

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

nocturne dust
# broken carbon what was ur solution then

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.

weary idol
#

how "death of a thousand cuts" are we talking here

so about 4-5 hits
