I hate my life. Power Matrix Rituals.
I am not buying a PC
Yet

my gpu is so bad i only see rainbow squares
Das da budget pc
Kinda
The cpu is over kill lol
I saw the rainbow squares.
Gotta yap more
Empathic evasion should be in all psyker staff builds or it depends on the staff?
Depends on build and staff
I don't think it should be looking like that even with a low end GPU.
Gun pysker, melee psyker, and purg benefit from it the most
Sounds like melee pysker
Dawg it’s artifacting
I’d recommend looking to find a new one
Unironically
Does anyone know how to check if a game using CPU or GPU?
Lol

Are you silly
Dey use both
Imagine a 40 havoc run with these graphics
As GPU. Some CPUs have integrated graphics.
@wooden sand this is what the most expensive part of a pc looks like when it’s dying
I'm wondering if he's running on THAT.
You have amd correct?
They.,
ty
Ohhh yeah big dawg you need a new gpu stat, go into bios and send me pics in dms I’ll try to guide you
i got one lined up, just saving money for it
@sour frost do you have nivida or amd? For the gpu?
ill figure it out but thanks for offering

You can disable integrated graphics in bios
OR it could unironically just be amd doing amd stuff
The rainbow bubble blinding amd users

Plus on intergraded I doubt you’d even be able to launch it
They checked, Anti-lag is off.
Anti lag? What the shrimp
What card does he have
I can get more info from dat

If the GPU they mentioned is really what it is, game will be blurry at the edges but still look okay.
AMD Radeon RX 580 That's the card they said they have.
DAMM
yeah MAX preformance
On everything
Go into the panel and put everything on max preformance
Turn on xmp in bios
Uhhh
Msi afterburner to squeeze some extra power
Dawg is in the Stone Age
I pray for his machine
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e81f1c9-3b63-4dc3-809b-9aee0aef4d51/melee-psyker-27 id do this
this is the build i run with assail and seerge (elektrokinetic)
works really well
compliments eachother well too
Surge assail 
Veri based
So I'm trying to knock out my last penance for psyker (brainburst boss) and it's private match only... okay... sure, I'll just solo up to a boss on Heresy, easy.
. . . can't launch a private game without a squad.
. . .
Wow, thanks Fatshark. -_-
You're welcome.
truly one of fatsharks moments
I can get on if you don't have someone else to help you.
yeah you need a buddy for that
not a bad ideal for penance but a bad execution
back in launch day it doesnt need private match
but you need to deal 90% HP instead of 50% nowdays
which is you need a team for that anyways
fatshark changed it
so instead of complaining about "impossible penance"
ppl complaint cant solo it
There are people playing the game on this discord server, on reddit's one, on other warhammer ones.
You can ask someone here for help, but no, you have to complain about it.
100% hp
You have to say, type, write here anyway. It is ok to ask for help, no shame about it.
More like, no reply after I offered. MM is easier than Flesh Wound.
Very kind of you 🙂 Sorry I was AFK at the time.
Yes, I complained about it. Because it deserves to be complained about. It's a stupid implementation; after easing the requirements to 50%, it really didn't even need to be a "private only" penance.
It's not nearly as demanding, or disruptive, as some of the others that are still public-cappable, like the loner penance for Zealot, or the Ogryn penances for ranged weapons that promote excessive and inefficient use of ammo to grind out 1000s of procs of an RNG skill -_-
If you want, i can get on now.
Thank you! Much appreciated and yes please 🙂
Been a while since I linked up w someone from discord, it's that friend code, right?
The 7054161273 one?
yeah XD no prob
Ah, Vox or ingame? Doesn't matter either way.
And there you go, just ask people nicely, it is that hard? Now, you talk and play with people, which is pretty much the intention of the achievement, like it or hate it.
Complain to deaf ear
Venting can be healthy.
It's good to vent, but best done with someone who actually gives a shit about you and not to randoms on the internet
I queue quickplay literally every time I play.
I don't mind it being an OPTION to do it privately, and I can see why someone might prefer to do it that way.
My issue is with the fact that it's 100% impossible to get in any public lobby, no matter the situation.
That's silly.
ill go out of my way to avoid communicating when i have a mic
Maybe there's a reason it was made private game only in the first place 
There was.
It used to be much more obtrusive and hard to do, requiring the team's cooperation because it was like, only BB challenge at one point
Just a flesh wound also resulted in people trolling
I also agree that there should be some way to make it easy to earn it via only in-game means. Right now you need to use 3rd party tools (eg. discord) to get a kind soul to help you achieve it. And there is no good reason for it.
There is no way to advertise in-game that you are looking for help with this penance, nor is there a way to find people in-game that need such help, essentially forcing people who want earn this penance (which is tied to one of the two non-paid ways to earn cosmetic rewards) to use means not provided by FatShark.
IMO they should remove the private game requirement (easy solution) or implement some way to find like-minded people looking for help with penances in game (very difficult).
in "easy to earn" I don't mean to make it less challenging, just less of a hassle
Also member how flesh wound was bugged on launch? That alone ruined damn lobbies
Party finder exists literally for this tho
and is a dead feature no?
literally has an option for penances
noone even proposes you use it
well, Fatshark can't exactly force you to use their system
so yes
they can make it more feasible, however I will bite the bullet and check it regularly to find ppl looking for help
This is a nice example of dev intent vs player interpretation
Because you literally arent meant to do everything solo
I don't have friends 
People would like to, sure, but at the end of the day its a 4 player co op game
Hello
Its only used for havoc pretty much
Or just tag me when I'm not literally on mobile. Lul.
You have to deal with a wind tunnel, but it'll be done.
ran this yesterday in H40, works pretty well, favours narrow maps though
People join party finders?
All I see is like 3 havocs or smth
Yeah, just host a game. YOu'll usually get suspect ppl joining.
Like fresh 30 trying to join H40.
I see so many people using kinetic flayer and not kinetic resonance. Is bb that "useless" in havoc ?
seen it on occasion, lol
Cos by the time you have to use it, someone isn't killing the long ranged guys already.
i'd rather take kinetic flayer because it's extra passive dmg
plus i'm using aquaman staff so having faster bb isn't useful
yes
The KR buff just lasts waaaaaay too short, and BB is just too bad at base for the multipliers to matter despite looking so big.
I was in the process of going through a video of a BB-lover and counting the number of kills that make KR useful and important. I'm only about half way through the video, but it's showing a very bad pattern for KR. Despite purposeful intent to use BB immediately after ability use (so as to make use of KR), only about 3/5ths are even affected by KR, and KR expires before the charge is finished for many. On top of that, many of those kills are unnecessary, since enemies are often in Inferno range or going to be entering Inferno range, and many are trash. Of 52 BB kills, only 5 are making any use of KR, not trash, and not in immediate Inferno range. Only 3 of those 5 are enemies not running into Inferno range. That's in 20 minutes of Havoc gameplay.
tl;dr: BB bad. Very bad (even for Auric). Plz buff.
counterpoint: BB pretty good
Does lightning get stronger later on or should I give up on making Palpatine?
Smite is the strongest blitz
also the most boring, but if you like it, use it
They should make BB do it's damage over the duration of the channel, rather than all at the end.
IMO this would fix many of the issues it has: People killing the target before pop, unnecessarily delayed target neutralization on weakened targets, removal of "wasted" heat ad time for "overkills" on damaged or weaker targets, etc.
Idk what those words mean
I'll say it again, all of the psykers hexes are mediocre. They are all functional but none excell or shine particularly brightly.
My go to is smite, because "unlimited power cosplay". Thats the depth that should be going into the usage of these
Smite is the lightning blitz
It doesn't feel as satisfying as lightning in battlefront 2 or the force unleashed
💀
It just feels like a PNG gets placed between you and the enemy
And the enemy is just stunned
The only psyker blitz that is bad is Brainburst. Smite is a monster of CC, and is so good it makes the game trivial.
Brain burst is fun.
Smite is a poor weapon, but an excellent tool.
Assail is great as a tool.
Assail is just zealot tknives
Sucks against armor
But better in every way
Eeeeehhhh, smite kills a lot with EP and Vent
Sure. So do most guns
Zealot trying to collect knives while psyker automatically generates homing missiles
So does Inferno
I’ve found it’s great for support, and frustrating because my team almost never takes advantage of it
Take advantage of it yourself
Use EP and shriek
Assail does fine against flak
in fact, it does really well against flak
People hating on Smite because it doesn't deal much damage... neither do stun grenades, but on one says those are bad.
Pushing does no damage, no one rages about that.
Etc.
If you're smiting just a couple of targets that you could just kill, yes that's a waste of time, but that should be obvious and is a fault of the player, not the ability.
If you're smiting a wall of Crushers and Bulwarks, that's a good use.
crusher
People hate smite cuz it makes the game not fun
So that's why those fuckers take ages
actually I do
stun grenades bad
Nobody takes them
Eh, i never grew warm with it. And taking assail barrs you from using the best node on psykers skilltree
who even uses anything but tknives on Zealot
Psykinetics is unneeded for Scrier's
Stun grenades were meta AF in the early game. Albeit back then, most weapons sucked ass so you needed the stun.
I would enjoy smite if it felt satisfying to use
Me trying to get penances
Sure. Meta changes.
psykinetic is for your whole team though
I do. Because for the life of me i cant Aim the fucking knives so grenades it is
I remember when Vstrike was meta
I just wanna cosplay palpatine. But I feel weak af because the lightning is more of an assistive tool than weapon
Nothing like one shotting a special in the head mid battle cry
people also used surge as a main weapon when it did 200 damage
and insisted it was actually very good
Still the best skill tree node in the game. Whole team benefits from it
Eh.
Not that good.
And Assail is actually the whole reason it's not that good
Assail is great.
Psykinetics is great.
I use smite and assail because they look cool
Throw the knife into the eye of the hound mid pounce like it is the final scene of OG modern warfare 2
Picking one or the other is the only thing preventing Psyker from eating the universe for breakfast
i use flame grenades, haven't needed knives in ages
at the cost of your nodes tho 
The ogryn of the team bashing it mid pounce with the pickaxe making it ragdoll over the whole map is also funny as hell
worth it
No
yes
Take a shock staff for single target, use Smite for hordes.
Take Empowered Psionics and Warp Rider and your Smite will kill trash mobs, and weaker enemies like shooters if held long enough.
It's not great, but it's usable.
no meta slaves here, only flame grenade enjoyers

Wrong chat, Zealot scum

Didn’t know there was a shock staff. Thanks
People will complain, but Smiting a mixed horde with empowered and thinning out the trash so your team has room to manuver for killing ragers, crushers, etc. is actually helpful.
Round these parts, it's meta, or nothing
No prob 🙂
thank god i ain't one
what if i do well enough without meta
yes please
That's just Trauma staff w the soulblaze blessing 🤣
Well then you would be a person

One of the most people of all time
Coruscation staff when
Bro... ANY new staff when
Like... fkin seriously
Failed h40 with burga bubble but won with bubble knight
makes sense
Clearly 1 build is better than the other
Tuna do be a person of all time 
you know it babygirl

The best build for h40 is to get a team of smitekers who only use smite and nothing else, without EP and with Scriers to maximize smite time

no damage needed when you can smite
Funnily enough this shit is very effective
If you go venting shriek spam ofc
but effective
31 stacks of burn on everything on sight
specifies scriers
"It's effective if you don't do the thing you said to do"
While enemies tweak the fuck out
I wanted to spinoff from your comment, wasn’t exactly a direct response
what the hell 
That man drew the short straw, had to ride next to the big man. Obviously.
it's a bot, which makes this even funnier
They really should add a new staff that opens portals above enemies and drops comically large pianos onto them
I bet he smells great 
Piano? What heretical device is that?
A question for havoc, are there enemies that are imune to the smite stun ?
Elites can be when Final Toll.
the right side tree was originally going to be the gunslinger archetype
Technically yes, assail is the best blitz for gun psykers
Damn
Gunker is canon ig
Imagine you would infuse the gun with magic to shoot homing rounds or smth
Or make your bullets explode? Idk. Could be cool
I mean... you kinda do?
Like, that tree is full of buffs that you could interpret as like... using your psyker abilities to be more accurate or hit harder.
ngl that artwork goes hard. I wish psykers actually had a cosmetic with this much tubes sticking out of their head. full Perturabo/Angron style


Which isn't enough for the gun psyker fantasy
Warp Splitting fits the magic gun fantasy and that's it

Well
Surety of Arms is basically a body enhancement
Oddly high amounts of Biomancy on this tree
Tbh, the fact that my gun is magically dealing more damage the more funni blue bois I kill and the more peril I get and the longer I stay in Scrier's feels gun psykery to me
but I suppose it doesn't feel that different from an e stance MF vet
(just better in melee and better generally lol)
Psyker is racist against blue men
"I want weapon specialist"
We have weapon specialist at home
weapon specialist at home:
I got nothing against "Doing more damage" type of deal
But as a psyker
those 2 talents together are much better than Weapon Specialist imo because Weapon Specialist is much less accessible.
if you say so ig
I've never ever used surety of arm
Weapon specialists usefullness really depends on your weapons
it's mid when i've tried it
psyker doesn't have any weapons that really make good use of it outside of boltgun
The funny shotgun special shot spam build
10/10 recommend
I see 
With the extra 10% reload perk
Maybe for some trial meme

The free crits talent is too good if you're going that way
I tried to at first but wasn't worth it
being high peril almost all the time means surety of arms will never proc when you actually need it
um, that force greatsword with gaze and dd... it kinda annihilates bosses?
didn't expect it to kill something faster than my gun could
just had one of the most enjoyable 1-2-vegs of my life
You didn't know? A thurst weakspot on mk6 against bonbon can deal like 15k hp damage
The rule of thumb is that stabs deal lots of damage
except for the knife (not the ogryn one)
With missing hits due to enemies in the way
I didn't even plan on using the sword for bosses much though lol, I took the 8 as a flexible anti-everything annihilator with the plan on drilling bosses down with a vraks 5
I should probably try the 6 at some point but I love how braindead and powerful the 8 is
Mk6 with proper combo and technique can horde clear as well as 8 but better single target damage
Mk8 is easier tho just light spam for horde
What's the trick with the mark 6? Just block cancel every third swing?
yeah no one does that without macros
Which elite would you guys say is easiest to suicide bomb?
might as well not mention it
What’s the combo on 6?
I do it in real game. Not all the time but often enough during chaffs horde
Light light light block
I dont use macro for fgs
Honestly
Shotgunners
1k hp
Will swap to melee if you have your melee out
So you can take an Illisi
Slash him a bit
Then spam special until you pop
Dope. I'll save that for last then. Still gotta complete the Defy Fate and MM penances
Can also naturally do swap combo with assails weaving too it's not hard like quell cancel
Honestly I'm rather surprised by how quickly I've closed the book on the Psyker's list. Beginning to wonder if Zealotry isn't my calling
Holy shit that does sound great
Especially the reload one
If you don't have staff u won't have much peril anyway
That's like +30% reload speed at basically no cost

Maybe I should play gunker
Probably Zealot penances not rewarding for simply playing the game
Unless you have Assail, heh.
Just shoot the gun instead smh smh
Bring double barrel
With both barrels
What, 1 second reload?
it's ass
Gotta live my bullet hose fantasy
I am a sucker for reload speed idc
you don't really get as much use out of it as you'd like
I am too used to just dashing around as zealot sadly
What is the best way to deal boss damage as a psyker in havoc (please don't say "your team")
Brain burst? Idk
Gunker scriers.
scriers gaze with autogun/recon lasgun
if you're dead set on using a staff then electrokinetic or voidstrike probably
Not realy my prefered playstile but well... 
It's going to come down to you shooting
Or stabbing
Any automated gun with finesse works. Just aim at hed and brrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Since this is havoc
what? it's just veteran but better
Stabbing
Interesting point of view 
Or no finesse, still same, you crit like half the time anyway.
Maybe veteran isn't their preferred playstyle
it's just correct 🙂
If you're running Inferno
Puff the boss a little
That said, I am not a solid Shroudfielder
Then stab
veteran fatter than an ogryn fr
Why is a trained guardsman so much slower and has less stamina than a magician and a crazy preacher
I only have 200 hours in darktide ok
Faith and magic are better than working out?
I am talking about veteran
Oh ^^
IDK, confuses me when ppl play better classes and expect me to clutch on my vet.
Oh no but you see
Veteran has to carry all this gear
The class runs out of stamina after 5 steps bruh
What fucking gear?!
While zealot carries this really fucking heavy Eviscerator
Running at the speed of light
And a giant flamer

Near inf 'nades.
While also covered in thick chains
He just manifests them
Purity seals make you fit and strong fr
Fuck training
I feel like in the world of WH, the grace of God-Emperor and wielding the Force probably would provide stronger trunk muscles for running
Yeah zealots are peak athletes on steroids
Not with all that bam in your yam
Zealot is so fast it isn't even funny anymore
Me popping 2 chastise charges just to get to the console faster than the other guy and do the objective
Or just catch up to someone
Or just for fun
chat did i dodge this?
yes, also damn the game looks nice on high graphics
ive seen a lot higher tbh
ray tracing go brr
Never mention the secret third charge that readies itself "when the time is right"
but i still get around 100fps, 60'ish during dense hordes
I always have one whenever I need it
If I don't I will just frantically spam it until smth happens
Me with the Psyker shield at this rate, as I seem to just forget that I have it
I usually bring up the rear guard and head-pop anything that glows or roars
I forget my knives
Weaponized knifeplay. What a kink
I will zealot you
There goes that Chastise charge
I play on max graphics but the ui is also maxed out 
So you're just looking at Path of Exile the entire time
That said, my subtitles cover half the screen 24/7. I'm over here reading Darktide
Darktide for blind deaf mute gamer.
based lore enjoyer
2nd report i made today about beasts of nurgle
i will keep it up until they remove them from the game
A shame I have to rip and tear through however many Mortis Trials to even get a taste of it
Sometimes I wonder how many chungus jokes are made about the Nurgle faction per day
Bro's playing a visual novel
😭
"You encounter a Pox Hound. Do you dodge or shoot?"
Turns to page 54
"Game over"
Missing roll a dice to see if "ally" saves you.
"Doki Doki Sororitas Club" would go hella hard
strike party 1 if fellow psykers wanna watch a psyker play
You get shot. Game crashes.
They were too busy dissociating on Twitter anyway 
Or ehm. If you have "friends", turn to another page.
It's just a bunch of blank pages
"Waiting for connection..."
Roll to see who helps you.
listening to the battle sister describe gruesome ways to kill heretics while having the biggest smile on her face
1 is a flamer burning your arse off. You take more damage but may survive.
Gotta love the irony of a religious fanatic have a chaotic grin
Isn't that just burn, Burn, BURN, B.U.R.N.?
Why? 
Sometimes the puke does in fact get through the bubble if you're very close to the edge of bubble.
It's annoying.
Dunno clad's issue tho just my annoyance with bonbon.
So bubble is worthless now 
more bugs
Yeah but what kind though
this works in low havoc, lets see how it holds up in high havoc
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ef31819-5cb8-44ea-8ce8-53ca228e74ef/curent-psyker-in-havoc
Gross build
btw, after trying the light light light block combo for horde clear on mk6 FGS instead of the push light sweeping-heavy combo, I can safely say the former is much easier for me to pull off consistently...
smite in a nutshell
i hope bro has a plan for enraged elites
He is going to use his surge VB staff on em
Voidblast will do the trick
I believe in you
White fire from psyker staff - does this count as 'soulflame' for the purposes of psyker perks?
Because the soulflame effect looks almost identical
Yes
Thanks!
wondering if I should move the dump stat to collateral, gun really doesn't have stagger
The dump is collateral. If you're broke, this is fine until you get the mats.
600k mats, make a new one quick, thanks
My dumb stat always was mobilety but everybody else says koleteral
damn, 1h force sword and deflector is actually kind of good.
1h?
Really good for havoc
What variant are you using
Do they know?
Do they know what?
Surge doesn’t work on voidblast
It only affects the m1 attacks
Also, obligatory Eww smite
Ep smite too
Gross
u guys know some good psyker gameplays on yt for havoc 40?
@verbal thistle
ummm
I dont have a havoc psyker vid
but I have solos
Master Queller
Psyker did not need buffs
staff psyker
No soulblaze knife double barrel
off brand Doom
melee psyker
any flame staff gameplays?
not from me
i'll have a look at these ty
based
agent to the rescue
thx, emperor bless
00:00 505
04:10 i wanna be yours
07:09 why you'd only call me when you're high
09:46 do i wanna know
Agent noob...
noobato........
whats the general opinion on force sword vs duelling sword?
Cool psyker vs eh psyker

Then we have Obscurus and Deimos that can do what DS does
And the force Greatsword which same thing but worse dodges
But better horde clear due to warp slash
Both aren't the same
Its like comparing a truck to the Titanic
DS does armor pen and dodges passively inside its moveset, 1h force sword has worse dodges and a delay on its armor pen attacks that also does not kill in 1-2 hits consistently
you can make em work but its just a less smooth experience, up to you
as I understand it, for inferno staff, it's really important to apply uncanny as well
I like the force greatsword just for the animation set and feel, I run it full crit to get passive armor pen and better mass management (it will only do damage to a few targets, but wont slow down or bounce off things if the swing is a crit, allowing you to swing more quickly overall)
but I was wondering if the force sword can accomplish the same thing in addition to having the deflect
and if it's just as good for bosses
i'm the same with the DS. i tried other weapons and nothing feels as good to me with how absurd the DS is
Force Swords have Uncanny Strike (except Greatsword)
So yeah you can do the same set up

And even stack it faster than DS with Obscurus/Deimos special attack to a weakspot
Not that we recommend using their special attack
💀
gonna have to try this out
who is playing on 120° is not human
this makes me wanna use the force sword ^^
I like Deimos more than ds for havoc because of deflector
btw, I have started considering running a Momentum + Wrath mk6 FGS on gunker, just because DS4 just didn't solve my problem of dying when forced into any melee situation due to DS4's horde clear not being good enough for me...
maybe pair it with purge it has great clear
but I was talking about gunker, not purge staff builds...
U gotta mix in a bunch of assails w ds
well... the fact I have yet to get a DS of any kind with perfect stats surely doesn't help...
the closest ones I have to perfect stat rolls always have 63% in Cleave Damage...
That’s good!
its 3% too much, as I'd need those 3% to go into either damage, pen or finesse...
Nah 3% off is good to go
I run smite for utility on my gunker, and the aoe damage is enough to make hordes like butter to the DS
Player skill >>>> weapon stats
channel, cancel to knock them down, swing away with the damage boost
3% off is worthless trash, if it ain't perfect you gotta dump it like the filthy loser weapon it is 
I’ve been really eyeing the illis for melee psyker in havoc
Was gonna run uncanny and riposte with it
The fgs is so good tho
I’m really struggling with choices

Well, one of those is a great, varied weapon with a powerful special and lots of versatility and horde clear. The other is Illisi.

Also, Illisi kinda needs slaughterer sooooo
you may have trouble horde clearing on the horde clearing weapon without its blessing dependency 

It friggin poopy
The crit will not help?
Hmmmm
Damm is it’s just fgs or nothing
Nah it's impossible.
LMFAO
I am fake 
its tru i carried agent in sedition+
Thank you meister 
Sry was me
This guy is pretty good to survive in havoc 40. Must be luck tho psyker still bad.
Goes incredibly hard
Skip uncanny and go executor
btw, I think I have found a decent way to alleviate some parts of my survivability issues in hordes while using DS4 as gunker: swapping out Riposte in favour of Rampage.
I know its not the best or the most preferable solution, but it works for me...
Saw that don’t your stacks disappear if you miss though?
Have you tried DS2?
I mean yeah
yes, and I found the carapace dmg to be slightly too bad on it...
Show me a vid @rich spindle
Possibly
It is a little single target DPS loss, if you H1 special loop, but it's by no means bad. It's lights and your mention of horde survivability is why I was wondering. If ramage on DS4 works for you, then it works.
I have a date
No game for me.
prolly for the best
im gonna do my favorite dt passtime
auric until sleeping meds kick in
Hope you like activating heavy activating heavy activating he
With Warp Splitting
Just like power sword
Das what I do wif it

You can also throw an activated light there
It’s like that hsword, Rashad, tac axe, and illis im trying to make work on melee psyker in havoc
I wanna use something besides those two
The important part is that you power Illisi up
(it should act like Relic Blade tbh)
Because with Slaughterer stacked you can basically kill 3-4 groaners/walkers outside of havoc
As long as powered
I only really activate for fun or if there’s bunched up bruisers
The damage distribution is just way better on active attacks
Yeah I just prefer to stay safe by keeping everything staggered with heavies
Which is why I'm hereby requesting that Illisi should be like Relic Blade heat gauge
Certainly that wouldn't be op
That would be cooler
But peril based of course
Illisi is my fav scriers melee
Then you get Scriers and shove so much Crack (of Bone) up your ass to keep peril in check
The horizontals are so powerful
You could give it 100% uptime and it wouldn't be OP
When you quell so much peril the only real option is to overdose on it
not "kinda mid"
its horde clear is very overrated
psyker doesnt really have good melee hoard clear imo
like psyker only weapons
guh?
like if you wanna clear with fgs as well as zealot weapons you kinda have to break your fingers blitz cancelling
FGS mk8 light spam is 15s vs 50 pox
with warp slash, 8.7s
i said melee
illisi is 18.5s
thats a melee weapon
illisi has a bunch of patch13 relics
like the bad cleave distribution and the ass attack speed
so many weapons still have shit like cleave, equip speed, maniac damage thats still balanced for pre maelstrom
"but we need new weapons!!!"
i will literally die if i dont get a poweraxe this week(metaphorically)
yea give me power axe on veteran
veteran exclusive power axe with 4000 unyielding dmg in 1 activated overhead

its rashad but with an active @buoyant maple
kinda
rashad dmg not good for expanded health pool
so tru king
no off mode
so tru
what attack chain do i want to use on electrostrike
nice to be appreciated
It's so rare too compared to the rest of the classes
yeah the "max damage" builds for all the classes are p rare except zealot
because it's zealots only real build
People just expect me to delete every enemy in sight or be a useless piece of shit, best I usually get is a thanks for a clutch revive
gunlugger and left tree vet are also rare and pull crazy numbers too when played well
The most interesting remark I remember getting was one ogryn player calling me a witch with honour because I was the first auric mael psyker he encountered that didn't have smite
randomly formed a 4 psyker team in party finder, but we threw the mission on the final boss
it was 10% hp too 
Why in any circumstance should I use penetrating flame over warp nexus?
only if someone else is running a blaze trauma
even then it doesnt help that much
Even for solo play
Does it even help at all against armor/bosses??
blaze still does more damage
by the time you stack enough brittleness to do more damage then blaze the target will be low hp
and EVEN THEN
just use voidblast lol
gets more brittleness
and crowd control
is dukane trying to flirt with morrow? 😭
Can I make any improvements to this? My problem atm is boss damage I think
Take a gun or use force great sword 
Nah, she wants to make sure that Morrow doesn't shoot her as well.
could ditch deflection for kinetic resonance but the damage is not that great (at least ur safe), or take DS lol
I will solo tank dh with KD so I'm good
Knife
Mobility
Well can’t have it all unless you want to sell your soul to DS
Hmmm
True precog does funny things to bosses
is warp resistance supposed to be so low
I could probably swap Cara for unyielding after changing the blessings
Yes
is that like a thing in general on psyker weapons
Helps build peril faster
Funny number goes up higher
Its dump stat
Which means more damage
In havocs, and pen flame inferno user + a rending shockwave VB user is the main one. The PF 20% stacks on top of other sources of brittleness. It's the only way to go to 60%.
Outside of that is basically vibes. If you don't edge your perils and you use bubble, nexus doesn't offer as much as it does in a different build.
PF has slightly better boss DPS, but in a balanced team comp, boss DPS is not a psyker's job.
So on my flame staff if I were to change unyielding what would I change it for? Elites?
I'm trying to make solo bossing a little easier in high havoc because I was not gonna fight a beast of nurgle for 10mins
Keep unyielding and swap crit to flak
If you have premades, a psyker with pen flames, a vet with exploit weakness and other two with just generic Brittleness
There you go
80% brittleness on a target
(the target might die before you even stack all brittleness lol)
There is a cap at 40% with the exception of the 20% from PF that can go on top.
So 60% if a PF user is there. Otherwise 40%.
@buoyant maple Is this true? Vet's EW can take brittlness to 80%?
40% general + 20% PF and +20% from EW??
yea it's a different type of brittleness
critical brittleness, if u will
Inch res ting
https://imgur.com/a/ThLCDz7 never fuckin' taking the bolt pistol off again
Another 500 bulwarks
anyways I then almost clutched again by soloing the twins but then forgot to dodge and fluoride stared directly at a crusher overheading me
sad days
https://imgur.com/a/0rC3xIK funny ragdoll
I haven’t seen 80% on my debuff mod yet
I will be forever upset that blazing spirit does not work with the FGS special
Guess not enough vets take that talent
which talent?
Exploit weakness
80% rending dots sound very fun
20% brittleness is nothing for most of vets good weapons, and isn't enough to help their bad ones
plus short duration
plus melee only
plus has to be a crit
Uncanny Soulblaze but worse
Nah
Uncanny is 120%
So clearly the trailer was related and they're going to buff it... right?
Wow
You must be fun at parties
?
it'd only matter for carapace and not matter enough in the end
I haven’t seen that number before, is the thing
You just have to nerf yourself with bad weapons to fix that
get some awful ADMs
so you're saying we need new weapons with bad ADMs because clearly rending is an underutilized part of the game that nobody uses 
CRIT Heavy Sword


There, 20% brittleness to deal with Carapace
rending and brittleness are overrated by most people
especially brittleness
vast majority massively overestimate the "team aspect" of brittleness
brittleness yes, but rending from uncanny is just too easy when crushers are the big threat
and it lets you donk mauler heads which is nice
uncanny needs to get nuked
Truth nuke
sure
nerf to 20% at max stacks, Mrending only
Blessings not working on unintended additional parts of the kit? Impossible
Fatshark would never
it's not "unintended"
they just didn't invent Mrending when making uncanny strike lol
Well, they hit it with the hammer once to try to get rid of it, so I think it is kind of unintended
if it was unintended it would have been changed to Mrending by now
yea there's ur answer
Same situation with how they fixed LMB spam
Prob true
psyker nerf is very welcome
I think the current state of ogryn is fatshart just letting ogryn mains invent a new tree for themselves
“Why yes, we should let ogryn mains decide on ogryn balance, wcgw”
could have nuked psyker staff atk speed yes
Well, it wouldn't have nuked atk speed except for what the ICD applies to
which would be LMB, because that is the main issue
ICD the attack
nuking quell cancel is easier and a more transformative nerf to psyker
now they only need 80 nerfs
instead of 81
I don't think it is easier?
It also doesn't really transform anything
like, we still have weapon swapping
the only thing that happened is people who use the staves normally now get annoyed sometimes by the stickiness of quelling
I'll remember this conversation when they nerf vet
some aspects def need to be nerfed on veteran
I'm sure they'll do the totally-right thing and nerf Vet's stamina.
nah
they can't even buff veteran right
given their last patch
I'll remember this conversation when they increase empowered psionics by 5% probability
EP does need adjustments
but psyker fr needs somewhere like 80 nerfs
More head bops, please. Can never have too many
Not the ones Fatshark will give it tho, I'm sure
Gotta say, I'm still relatively new to the terminologies of this game. Haven't played Vet yet either. Is this really so scuffed?
Granted, I'm all for discouraging players from going the CoD route, but damn
Fatshark is looking at the stats, and since Psykers die the quickest on average and contribute the least, they're totally bad and need buffs

wdym
I blame the primal desire to bank a fat kill count
"Buff Vet" is a conversation topic I wanna be enlightened on, basically
veteran has least number of ways to be top tier performer
psyker kit is entirely busted
zealot has 1.5 good kits but that 1.5 good kits is overpowered
ogryn can casually build to do 400+% of his base melee dmg
Ogryn is the most busted rn
Psyker is in a weird spot where for noobs they're very weak, but get exponentially stronger the more enemies and the more investment they have.
zealot needs ~5 nerfs and a lot of buffs in his underused talents, and a tree structure rework
veteran needs ~5 nerfs and a lot of buffs in his underused talents, and a tree structure rework
Basically, every class has overperforming and underperforming builds, with underperforming being the majority for Vet and Zealot, whereas Ogryn and Psyker can kinda just do whatever and overperform as long as you follow a loose logic.
Psyker doesn't really need 80 nerfs tho
More like... 15 choice ones.
80 is getting into the details of it
I guess it depends what you mean by an individual nerf
like
nerfing soulblaze base dmg, and nerfing soulblaze ADM
are considered 2 nerfs to me, because they're 2 diff things in terms of code
so that adds up to ~80 of them
but see, I'd lump both those and more into 'nerf soulblaze'
Although, not sure soulblaze damage needs to be nerfed, but rather the application of it needs to be adjusted.
nah, nerf 20%
So...
- Vets and Zeals are easiest to pick up, with the latter being far more versatile and effective
- Psykers are hardest to understand, but arguably have the greatest endgame potential
- Ogryn do funnee bonk and problem sovled
Do I have that right?
no
in terms of skill curve
20% is pretty big tho, and destroys every non-Inferno soulblaze build, no?
ogryn is easiest but spikes up in skill requirement as difficulty goes up
psyker is hard at the beginning but plateaus later on
veteran skill curve is very consistently high demand because u always lose ~80% of ur dmg on non-weakspot hits
Vet has highest skill requirement, Ogryn is easy and stays easy, you just need to learn to dodge nets.
zealot just needs to know the basic game mechanics (which are ~20 pages, but all classes should know this anyway) to do well
also to play veteran properly well
u probably need to do some maths
(same goes for ogryn)
You don't need math, you just follow the people who do the math 
Explains why I’m shit at vet
Ah, yes. My Warframe days prepared me for this
It's just for BPs
which you don't have to calculate if you test everything individually like a psychopath
like me
the first 10 seconds are enough to prepare u to do maths
Yep. Just like the good ol' days.
fortunately
psyker is very simple
u don't need to learn how to aim
or do maths
u can just focus on being broken
Path spreading lies

u can do well with gun psyker even playing at 60hz vsync with a controller
makes the game run at like 500ms input delay
I just use Brain Rupture on a swivel from afar and that usually keeps my squad happy

I've tried it before when I had a super old monitor from 2012
it makes mouse aiming feel like playing with a controller
constantly overshooting my aim
I do not recommend
Anyway, since you're familiar with Warframe, you can think of Psykers as shield-gaters, and Ogryns as HP tanks that actually work
Would anyone be able to recommend me which Force Sword variant and blessings I should take if I'm leaning into a VS staff build with a focus on swapping to melee to quell and horde clear? Also making use of crit talents. I main Veteran and am trying to make a similar build I like using on Vet.
You shouldn't be swapping to melee to quell unless you're using By Crack of Bone
psyker is easy
That's the idea
Use Force Greatsword
Either mk works
Both are very generalist weapons that are good at almost anything you throw them at, including horde
kk
obscurus mk2 force sword, or either of the force greatswords
deimos mk4 force sword is very single target orientated
dw
The normal Force Swords are possible, but Illisi is 'the horde clear' one and it's... icky
you dont need to really do maffs here
can kinda eyeball it then unga bunga
like wf
Obscurus is a middleground between horde clear and single target
Some people like it a whole lot.
But you need to know its combos
obscurus is super simple
^
which means it's super complicated for the avg psyker player
its animations are just weird
well then explain it for the noob 
Can Greatsword make effective use of weakspots and crits like normal Force Sword while being more horde focused? Or does it trade precision for just generalized clear ability?
Heavy -> light ->light for armored enemies
every melee wants weakspots
H1 + L2 + L3 for single target
L1 + [H2 + L] for horde
it's abt as easy as it gets
I've learned some weapons have a much easier time hitting weakspots
At least for me
greatsword's horde clear is mid tier outside of warp slash
You run wrath on it
