You gonna horde clear with special attack anyway.

nocturne dust
#

is y I said it's common

plucky flax
#

I dc as I ran into a ritual came back and we lost.

#

Thanks swedish server.

#

Maybe this map is just impossible to do with pugs.

cursive thorn
#

i wish lights out was a more common modifier

heady stag
#

is voidstrike staff viable in high havoc

plucky flax
nocturne dust
#

Voidstrike is the weakest of the staves in Havoc.

heady stag
#

I usually do inferno staff, are other options recommended?

nocturne dust
#

Inferno staff is the strongest in Havoc

#

Voidblast is about the same, a little bit less

#

EK is far behind but still not a bad option if you know what you're doing, and Voidstrike is even farther

#

and the FGS is actually 3rd best for psyker, behind Inferno and Voidblast. Far more difficult and dangerous to play, though.

heady stag
#

force greatsword?

nocturne dust
#

yes, force greatsword

#

It's not a staff, but infinite cleave is huge in Havoc and thus the 3 weapons with infinite cleave are top (as long as they have the build focused on them)

heady stag
#

Is crit not worth taking on inferno staff anymore?

nocturne dust
#

Inferno normally takes Blaze Away and Warp Nexus, so crit is fine

#

You can trade Nexus for Penetrating Flame tho, but that's setup dependent and generally not better if you aren't prepared

If you take smite into anything, you are a smiteker and not a real man 😔

#

I think trauma is stronger if no red

#

gotta BB for boss damage tho

nocturne dust
#

I mean, BB is crap boss damage

#

without any BB-specific buffs, trauma is my preference

#

Trauma will at least hit more than just a single target at the same time

#

Inferno is better regardless of modifiers because damage is king, and there can be other sources of stagger (like Ogryn)

#

plus, you really want it for when 3 bosses have decided to ruin your day at the same time

plucky flax
#

Yes I did that map after 20+ attemps. The key was for me to play surge.

#

Even removed wildfire since I have a burga on the team

#

Such teamplay

plucky flax
mortal current
#

alright chopping has been fun but i wanna go witness your doom on the enemies and blow shit up with psyker powers

#

what skills and psychic powers are worth looking at?

nocturne dust
#

See pins for staff builds

mortal current
#

what staffs are currently good at higher difficulties?

nocturne dust
#

Inferno and Voidblast

mortal current
#

ah good i happen to have a nearly fully upgraded inferno staff

marble crater
#

All of them (for anything that isn't havoc)

mortal current
#

i've been told melee psyker can get through damnation (eventually) so i cant wait for that experience-

nocturne dust
#

Inferno is slightly less safety, more damage; Voidblast is more safety, slightly less damage

mortal current
#

ehh i thought brain burst was bad

nocturne dust
nocturne dust
#

Don't use it

mortal current
#

why is it in that build

nocturne dust
#

Path through it

mortal current
nocturne dust
#

You take the nodes around it

#

You don't use it

mortal current
#

cant i just go smite instead

nocturne dust
#

You could if you don't like Kinetic Flayer

#

but KF is good

#

it's not BB is why KEKW_ogryn

mortal current
#

i love it with the autopistol

#

i have an autopistol melee psyker that uses it because some enemies make me shit myself and i want them gone immediately

nocturne dust
#

Works well with soulblaze

#

since it triggers on soulblaze

rich spindle
low pine
#

Recently leveled my psyker, now trying to make a staff build for auric. I'm not great at dodging and avoiding damage so I like safety talents so I'm going for bubble. Can I go for the ek build in pins using bubble or does it rely on soulblaze from shriek?

#

In other words, is EK still good without shriek or am I better of with Inferno if I want bubble?

marble crater
#

If you really want bubble I would suggest inferno or voidblast, you can still use it with EK of course, but I don't know, doesn't fit the playstyle for me

plucky flax
#

Surge without creeping flames suck balls.

#

You have no aoe damage.

#

And have to manual quell way too much.

#

Also just played with a steamuser name Path but don't think it's the path guy here.

low pine
#

alright thanks, I'll look into Inferno then. I read voidblast has quite the learning curve

marble crater
#

More than the other staves, but not too bad and arguably it's the safest staff in terms of "don't touch me, heretic"

nocturne dust
#

Unironically, it is pretty terrible Boss DPS without EP or KR, and both of those buffs aren't a great use of talent points and don't last long enough

#

BB is only good Boss DPS for the very, very short time frame you have those buffs. The rest of the time, Inferno and EK, and even Voidstrike if you can aim, beats the pants off BB.

rich spindle
#

It’s not bad

low pine

#

I'll give it a go in the psykhanium. Is it just the delivery method that warrants it the "hardest staff" title?

Or... just ignore flicking chadgryn

Don't steal toughness from your teammates

Watch out for barrels

That's it

Bruh, the changes to barrels. KEKW_ogryn

what's the change

glacial vapor
summer prairie
#

any videos of it happening?

strong gulch
#

If you have danger zone, any VB RMB in that zone around barrel will ignite it.

marble crater
#

With Voidblast I AM the danger zonechadgryn

summer prairie
#

why shouldn't that make it explode

#

when the explosion radius is huge

strong gulch
#

Danger zone just lets you see it

marble crater
strong gulch
#

Used to be able to VB much closer to barrels without igniting them.

marble crater
#

So either write it in the notes as a balance change, or fix the bug

What's the best combo for the Blaze Sword?

plucky flax
#

This is based.

# midnight solstice Illisi Mk V

illisi is flak + maniac and slaughter + uncanny / unstable / deflector.

Usual damage combo is slaughterer + uncanny.
Usual defensive combo is slaughterer + deflector.

Join the slaughterer/Bloodthirsty gang

#

Discount power sword

strong gulch

I wish bloodthirsty wasn't nerfed.

rigid sky
#

What was the nerf again?

strong gulch

It used to last for 5s.

#

SB would have still been bad, but 5s bloodthirsty + blazing spirit would have been fun for a bit.

but no

we can't have that

"Literally one of the most used blitz in Havoc, calls it a joke"

Talking about BB. 😭

#

Somebody tell em.

prime elk
#

yeah

#

assail needs buffs

plucky flax
upper sun
late sapphire
#

bb really does need buffs

#

maybe it should be able to be overcharged to one tap larger enemies at the cost of hp

jovial juniper
#

it costs hp

#

"Why would you hurt yourself when you can just Deimos or DS the large target"

#

Honestly
BB should just be instakill

#

You know, you're exploding someone's brain

late sapphire
#

idk let me blow up the pogryns head at the cost of exploding too or at least something in any way more interesting than current bb

jovial juniper
#

10% tg would be aight

#

Because you can regain 7.5% on Warp kill

i dont care about game balance

Sad shieldgryn...

#

(Blaming teammate as promised)

plucky flax
#

Shield ogryn sucks in havoc.

#

When you can do so much melee damage.

plucky flax
#

Ye

#

Hit them with pickaxe/club.

weary idol
#

shield has infinite cleave

#

and turns ranged enemies into melee ones

wispy bay
#

I don't need damage when you guys can do it safely with my presence.

weary idol
#

you are damage

#

shield does damage

#

and you better be doing damage

wispy bay
#

-_-...

plucky flax
#

Have you seen pickaxe/club's damage compared to shield?

wispy bay
#

Shield is definitely not for damage...

weary idol
#

the shields benefit is that it forces ranged enemies to melee you so that you don't lose damage by having to run up to them/take cover from them

#

it also makes life easier for everybody because of its stagger and aforementioned infinite cleave

wispy bay
#

If you use shield for damage, I rather use the shock maul, not even talking of clubs and pickaxes.

weary idol
#

shock maul does less damage than shield

wispy bay
#

but hit faster, more stagger, benefit more from orgryn talents.

weary idol
#

shock maul does not swing faster than shield

#

it does stagger more with its special activated but otherwise less

#

Hello, a few days ago people recommended me here to try blazing spirit and nexus blessing on my trauma staff build, do I need any specific Crit node from the tree to make it works?

#

Because as it is I haven’t any

upper sun
#

not really but more crit helps

verbal thistle
#

but there isnt a mandatory crit node to help the staff

upper sun
#

this is the meta build

#

you can swap out warp battery with kinetic deflector if you want

light solstice
#

Awesome thank you very much guys

#

Oh so for the meta build you guys go with 1 curios for Stam, 1 Hp and 1 toughness ??

#

Damn I would have never thought that

upper sun
#

you can also do 2 toughness 1 hp

light solstice
#

I was surprised by the hp

#

I thought I was more or less a waste

upper sun
#

the hp helps with random bursters/barrels/snipers

light solstice
#

Interesting

#

Let’s try it

analog agate
#

Curios are very much personal taste

prime elk
#

prevents you from being two-shotted

though if you take even one shot without hp curio, you're not going to be feeling too good...

wish we could turn back time....

#

Just started playing psyker. About level 13. Any traps I should stay away from?

#

Using force sword, bolter, and assail rn

prime elk
#

Brain burst is pretty bad

plucky flax
#

🚗

eager token
#

brain burst is beautiful

prime elk
#

BB sucking is canon

#

because heretics don't have brains left

#

so bursting their brains doesn't hurt them

zinc phoenix
prime elk
#

anyway, so i guess we need to buff assail again

zinc phoenix
#

Maybe we should explode their dicks instead

upper sun
#

itll work better heretics are def brainless

fringe garden
#

Assail needs to just ignore all armor. That'd be perfectly balanced. For sure.

#

Anyone use an assail/inferno/FGS build where they primarily only use the inferno staff with left click for some quick knockbacks/boss damage? I'm honestly thinking of dropping blaze away for penetrating in this use case. I barely channel the staff at all, primarily weaving between assail/melee to keep crack of boning away the peril.

#

I don't really do assail in havoc, mind. This is just for chill aurics

smoky stag
#

any fellow Psykers whp want to watch a noob psyker play? (Critizising me is allowed)

#

plucky flax
#

No blaze away burga is sus but you do you

#

You'll do no damage tho

rich spindle
#

Left clicking on bosses seems like a waste of time

strong gulch
#

Because it is.

rich spindle
#

I forget if rmb builds stacks faster or if im just imagining that

#

I rmb to build stacks up and then do other stuff

strong gulch
#

RMB builds faster and does more damage. Pre M1/ LMB QC nerf, LMB was faster.

Both LMB and RMB build blazeaway stacks and benefit from them.

patent steeple
#

in my opinion, at least.

sturdy reef
#

currently, yes

#

and for poxbursters/dogs

strong gulch
#

Ye. LMB is best for quick CC.

sturdy reef
#

need 3 blaze away stacks tho

#

or is it 2

#

cant remember

#

to stagger lock ragers

strong gulch

plus Blaze Away also buffs stagger

#

You would be making the 2nd blessing Penetrating Flame instead of Warp Nexus

#

And yeah, warp nexus is cool but not that cool. It's honestly pretty comparable to PF.

#

Warp Nexus is always second best KEKW_ogryn

#

Inferno: Blaze Away > Nexus
Voidstrike: Surge > Nexus
Fire Trauma: Blazing Spirit > Nexus
Rending Trauma: What's a Nexus?
EK: Flurry > Nexus

I’m taking nexus on the ek

marble crater
#

Yeah, what else would you take on EK? KEKW_ogryn

rich spindle
#

Over flurry

#

Nah, I can play EK without Nexus, but playing without Flurry is pain, when it was bugged a few months ago playing it was just Sitgryn

The mathematics aren't that complex here. Crit is not that supremely valuable on EK, you largely use it for Perfect Timing.

rich spindle
#

But that’s wrong

It's not. The staff performs fine without crit and the majority of specials in a proper build are going to die in a single hit

The only thing keeping me playing the game is voidblast staff. So, yes

Electric is the single target one

#

It's fast

#

The damage is kinda random though

#

But it's high damage

#

Blast is a big boom on the ground
Kill/knock down stuff

#

Pretty funny

#

Inferno is flamethrower

#

Strike is bowling ball

It has slow charge which might throw you off but it's pretty good if you can aim

there's also sort of a chinese-style meat sandwich that prob existed before sandwiches were a thing

buoyant maple

is the real question

I want to go off season

buoyant maple

don't go in summer that's for sure

narrow herald

buoyant maple
#

and the truth is

#

"chinese food" is too broad a category

#

the better question is, which region of chinese food

deft stump
#

Each region has their own stuff.

narrow herald
buoyant maple
#

we got 8 major culinary styles

#

and they're all a bit diff

narrow herald
#

I have no idea so I have no idea what I will like 😞

I've eaten Latino food my whole life

abt the italian chefs in china

narrow herald

But I have no idea what they taste like

buoyant maple

hmm

lemme think

I've had noodles but I feel like that is very broad

have u had spring rolls before

#

Here in the States, the majority of "Chinese food" is stir fried things like

Beef Scallion

Orange chicken

Fired rice

Chow Mein

prime elk
#

where i'm at has pretty good representation

buoyant maple
#

orange chicken doesn't exist in china

#

beef scallion maybe

narrow herald
#

Basically all of the dishes is just stir fried stuff that is laced with corn starch and brown sugar

prime elk
#

there's quite a few restaurants representing specific types of chinese cuisine 🧑‍🍳

prime elk
#

idk, how do you know they didn't use corn starch in shanxi during the han dynasty

buoyant maple
#

it's really too varied to give a simple answer

#

u gotta be specific on where to visit

#

like, xi'an for example

#

u go there and order noodles

#

it is very simple

narrow herald
#

I've heard that authentic Chinese food is similar to Japanese in some ways

I've eaten in Japan

Shanghai is crazy about crabs. How crazy? I went to the 40-person factory of my favorite crab soup dumpling restaurant (Lai Lai Xiaolong) to find out, where they pick the meat out of more than 10,000 crabs per day, to find out. The amount of work blew my mind, and then realizing this only serves two restaurants blew my mind a second time. Come w...

Say less

crab xiaolongbao is basically shanghai-exclusive

#

u cannot get it anywhere else because the entire operation is based around shanghai

narrow herald
#

I can't watch the video rn

But I assume just like a pork XLB, it's a crab soup inside a dumpling

deft stump
narrow herald
#

I've never had crab soup before though

#

Here in the States, we either have crab cakes or eat the crabs right out of the boil

buoyant maple

Or crab Mac and cheese

That's probably the best ngl 💀

I assume I'm going to be gaining weight in China, so I can't complain 😈

buoyant maple

a lot of it is quite oily

narrow herald

#

And the carbs.

buoyant maple
#

I will also say

#

chinese definition of a snack

narrow herald
#

I heard that Chinese food has a lot of carbs is that true? 🤔

buoyant maple
#

is not a candy bar

#

xiaolongbao is a snack

#

shengjianbao is a snack

narrow herald

wonton dumpling soup is considered a snack

I love candy 😭

I am sensitive to high sodium and preservatives

The States is hell for me

I'm sensitive to high sodium

everything has milk in it 😭

because every city & province is different

Where in Shanghai can I do that?

And warning, do not ask for spicy unless you like it.

modernity & commerce = shanghai
historical capital = xi'an
modern capital = beijing
panda headquarters = chengdu
cyberpunk = chongqing
silicon valley = shenzhen
dimsum = guangdong
tropical = hainan

#

this is like, a super basic summary of it

deft stump
#

Everything should be expected to be spicy already.

buoyant maple
#

nah

#

southeastern regions don't eat spice nearly as much

#

besides orcka being from carribean I expect him to be able to face tank a ghost pepper no problem

narrow herald
buoyant maple
#

oh then

#

shanghai - shenzhen - guangdong

#

should be pretty safe

#

we don't eat a lot of spice

if u go to chengdu or chongqing however

Shanghai has chili though. My mom managed to kill my tongue that time we went there.

buoyant maple
#

if u go to those places

narrow herald
#

I'm confused

buoyant maple
#

their mild spice is shanghai's high spice

deft stump
buoyant maple
#

and they often don't have a no-spice option

narrow herald
#

Oh u mean the spice

deft stump
#

Just worse.

narrow herald
#

I've eaten Mexican my whole life so I think I can handle mild

buoyant maple
#

worst case is jiangxi where no-spice is frequently nonexistent

deft stump
#

Expect to BURN both ways.

What is an example of a Chinese dinner? 🤔

buoyant maple
#

u can eat like, anything tbh?

deft stump
#

Region dependant tbh.

buoyant maple
#

it's not uncommon to have "snacks" for dinner

deft stump
#

You could just have La Mien.

#

Basically ramen.

narrow herald
#

But like is it high in protein, veggies, carbs

buoyant maple
#

in china, vegetables are generally cheaper than meat

deft stump
#

Way cheaper

deft stump
#

Also they use gluten stuff alot more.

#

Very spicy.

buoyant maple
# narrow herald

u can afford bokchoi chinois every meal basically all the time

#

unlike almost everywhere else in the world

deft stump
#

Cheap compared.

#

Just as tasty so gud.

buoyant maple
#

meat/fish are considered the more expensive options

narrow herald
#

Everything is cheap to American standards 😔

buoyant maple
#

also uh

#

soy milk is cheaper than milk in china

#

yea

deft stump
#

Don't listen to the American propaganda on how China food bad. They gotten safer and safer. Scandals changed alot.

buoyant maple
#

I can even go as far as saying soy milk is the actual equivalent of morning coffee in china

narrow herald
#

Only problem I might face is I'm a coffee addict

buoyant maple
deft stump
#

More tight, more seals. More plastic waste imo.

buoyant maple
#

starbucks is marketed as a somewhat luxurious brand there

#

and it's been getting shafted by local coffee brands

narrow herald
#

I don't mind tea, but espresso shots are required for me

deft stump
#

I don't even.

#

Cheapest and good is Indo.

buoyant maple
deft stump
narrow herald
#

I know but I feel bad not drinking tea 😔

buoyant maple
narrow herald
#

Idk why, but I never liked tea

buoyant maple
#

most of that comes in the form of milk tea / bubble tea / fruit tea

deft stump
#

Bubble tea gud.

#

Also CHEAP.

narrow herald
#

In Puerto Rico, our drinks are either hot espresso or freezing cold juices/soda

#

Which I feel like will be the opposite in China 😔

deft stump
#

Who drinks hot fruit juice?

narrow herald
deft stump

I even got cold stuff and ice cream in winter.

deft stump

yea

#

green pea soup for summer

deft stump
#

And some can just be chilled before eating.

narrow herald
#

Here in the States we usually have ice water

In China was is the equivalent?

deft stump
#

Bottled water.

#

Do not drink from taps unless stated.

buoyant maple
#

don't drink from tap

#

boil water before drinking

deft stump
#

Some uber fancy places, you might be able to... but just don't risk it.

#

Water is cheap in China anyway.

buoyant maple
#

sour plum juice is also fairly popular in china

#

酸梅汤

#

And u can basically always expect it to be cold or at most room temperature

#

iced tea

#

etc

narrow herald
#

What about alcohol?

buoyant maple
narrow herald
#

In PR we have beer and Rum

deft stump
#

They have both fancy and beer.

buoyant maple
#

because china technically has the most luxurious alcohol brand in the world

#

u prob never heard abt it tho

narrow herald
#

I mean yeah, beer is beer

But what is the hard liquor of China

deft stump
#

Buy from supermarkets for low price.

buoyant maple
#

don't consider moutai if you don't have passive income

#

I'll just say that

narrow herald
deft stump
#

Lul.

buoyant maple
narrow herald
#

Here in the States we have Rum, Tequila, Bourbon, Scott, Vodka

buoyant maple
#

it's a very strong alcohol

#

but not as volatile in taste

deft stump

Too ex to even sample.

buoyant maple

baijiu is the volatile one

narrow herald

What is the malt made out of?

buoyant maple

is supposed to be drank from very small cups

buoyant maple
deft stump
#

But weirdos down by bottle.

buoyant maple
#

avg 35~60% alcohol concent

#

be prepared to be drunk in 2 shots

narrow herald
#

And cocktails?

buoyant maple
#

so u'd prob have to rely on western style

narrow herald
#

Not even simple ones?

Like rum and coke?

buoyant maple
deft stump
#

Can try bars, I guess.

narrow herald
#

Damn I can't have a Mule in China

buoyant maple
#

traditional wine into cocktail isn't rly a thing in china

#

so u'd have to go to western style bars

narrow herald

Whatever I guess I'll have to put myself in a food coma

deft stump

You will, accidentally.

#

Just remember to update your google app.

narrow herald
#

Me after eating 50 dumplings: 🛌🏻

deft stump
#

They tend to not have English menus barring the big cities or weebier stores.

buoyant maple
narrow herald
#

I don't really care about translation, because we have Google to fix that

deft stump
narrow herald
#

I know when people are trying to fuck with me with modified prices on the menu

deft stump
narrow herald
#

Update what?

deft stump
#

The app.

narrow herald
#

The app automatically updated all the time

#

But I will download the whole language just in case

deft stump
#

Or well, load trad Chinese on it.

narrow herald
#

Once u have that, the translation issue goes away for the most part except for transportation

deft stump
#

Yep. Is just mentioning since uhhh... I realised I lacked a language on a trip before and was annoying to update on bad wifi. XD

narrow herald
#

I've heard China has the best public transportation in the world

I have been to Germany and Japan so let's see if that's true 😈

deft stump
#

Is good.

#

If you try their bullet trains.

buoyant maple
deft stump
#

Could even say might be better than Japan.

narrow herald

at least for t1~t2 cities

It is when u live in the States

deft stump

Cos I could use Google on my trip.

buoyant maple

Is just more ex.

buoyant maple

I suggest u do so if u haven't

#

shanghai had 16 metro lines when I left in 2017

deft stump
#

Data roaming?

buoyant maple
#

they prob have like 20+ now

#

and it's just metro

narrow herald
#

Finally a country that I don't need to Uber everywhere

buoyant maple
#

lightrail (above ground) is also a thing

#

china also has insanely good train railroad infrastructure

#

u can go city to city across china by train

#

much cheaper than flying

#

train stations are about as big as airports basically

#

we got the best high speed trains in the world

#

300km/h

Which blessings should i use on inferno staff?
Blaze Away + Warp Nexus?
Penetrating Flames + Blaze Away?

nocturne dust
#

Blaze Away + Warp Nexus, generally speaking

raw hedge
nocturne dust
#

PF is good, but Warp Nexus is slightly better in normal use.

#

Crits apply 2 stacks instead of 1, which means Inferno really loves crits for stacking soulblaze. It's only a 20% chance, but that's versus 20% brittleness which doesn't help a huge amount against everything but crushers, and doesn't help enough against crushers when it's alone

#

PF does stack with other brittleness tho

#

the only source that does iirc?

#

to get to 60%

#

and that can make it a lot stronger for chewing crushers, but that's a specific setup

raw hedge
#

Thanks

jovial juniper
#

So If you have generic Brittleness up to 40%
PF with + 20%
Exploit Weakness with +20%

#

You get 80% brittleness

Exploit Weakness is

u actually don't need to use H2 overhead outside of bulwark/mauler/crusher

and even on those enemies it doesn't change breakpoints much

plucky flax

Hmm ill test it on h40 ogryns

buoyant maple

or H2 + 1 light atk

plucky flax

Good thing about branx is 1 shot the purple crusher

buoyant maple

H2 + light is prob safer

With the easy to access h1

buoyant maple

crusher has 5400 health

plucky flax

In h40?

buoyant maple
#

yea

branx needs to charge thrust/crunch to 1 tap that health pool

or u can special + light twice

plucky flax

I know i need hh stacks tho to 1 shot with branx

buoyant maple

with torment

which is safer most of the time

and hits higher boss dps

ohey you're actually in the psyker channel per your YT comment. nice vids :3

plucky flax
buoyant maple
#

borovian is ~10% worse boss dps than branx

#

and worse mauler/crusher/bulwark breakpoint (takes more dmg spec to reach same hits to kill)

prime elk
#

is it really only 10%? 🤔

buoyant maple
#

but at least 25% better mixed horde clear

buoyant maple
#

borovian is 22s

prime elk
#

havoc?

buoyant maple
#

so ~10% loss

prime elk
buoyant maple
plucky flax

Not too concerned about mix horde usually there's a burga psyker. Its more for the elites killing power of thrust crunch on branx
