But dude knows enough to never talk of Cadia when there are Cadians on the ship.

[potent echo]

big reveal

[patent mango]

oh my god

the event gives aquilas we're so back

[wispy bay]

Barely enough for a beer...

[tawny zodiac]

"I came here to do two things: Pop meds, and bop heads. And I'm off my meds."

[steady yarrow]

I'm pumped for ratlings.

[torn bison]

is smite good for CCing large groups of carapace enemies?

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

Smite stops anything

Except bosses

(and Nurgle blessed enemies, and final toll enemies)

The alternative is Voidblast staff

[torn bison]

voidblast over the electric staff for cc?

[jovial juniper]

voidBLAST deals with large groups

Electric is 1-2

[marble crater]

If you use voidblast you won't use smite, so depends on your build and what you need to complete it

[wind wind]

I am bored and at work. Anyone able to recommend a YT channel with good darktide gameplay?

[uncut sinew]

i love me aquaman staff

[uncut sinew]

linussextips

[marble crater]

There are no good players who upload to youtube

[uncut sinew]

telepots used to be one

now he streaming only i think

[jovial juniper]

[zinc phoenix]

You could spend it working?

[marble crater]

this guy

[zinc phoenix]

Working hard leads to money

Money leads to good things!

[wind wind]

Because i work desk security at the university library. I sit on my ass all day and occasionally answer a dumb question, and at the end i close off the building, and shut Windows and Lights...

[zinc phoenix]

When I worked a joke job and had a 4hr commute I spent the time learning stuff that ended up being more useful to my career than the junk at college 😂

[marble crater]

I do enjoy his Warhammer lore videos

[zinc phoenix]

It’s worth spending the time to improve yourself is all I’m saying!

[wind wind]

I am onl, doing this job while i wait for my phd position to start this fall

[marble crater]

Well he is trying to improve his darktide gameplay

[zinc phoenix]

My condolences

[wind wind]

Why?

[zinc phoenix]

I know a lot of people who earned their PhD and they are just the happiest about the experience

[wind wind]

University professor is my career goal (and judging by the market inam gonna have a good Shot at getting what i want)

[zinc phoenix]

Everyone loves being an adjunct professor!

I wish you all the best, sincerely

[wind wind]

Yeah, its gonna be stressfull but after a year of waiting and sitting on my ass i relish the opportunity to be stressed out again

Cant really figure out of youre meaning it or pulling my leg but thanks anyways

[zinc phoenix]

But like, don’t kill yourself chasing this. The numbers on people who go thru PhD programs and develop serious mental health conditions from it aren’t pretty

[tawny zodiac]

I'm one of the faceless fans who only knows anything at all thanks to him

[zinc phoenix]

You guys have dentists beat for hating your careers

[wind wind]

True. True. I'll stay careful, thx

[marble crater]

Because watching a few hours of funny videos is a lot better than reading 100000 books

[torn bison]

Is the extra damage off the Charged Strike talent worth it for Smite?

[jovial juniper]

What's your melee?

[torn bison]

I'm thinking of running Blaze Greatsword to do cc on unarmmored groups, heavy to do dmg through flak/carapace, and smite to CC groups of carapace ogryns

[jovial juniper]

Greatsword won't get value out of Charged Strike

Heavies are too good

[brazen compass]

Me I only uploaded one video of Evis Zealot pre-Relic Blade for Darktide content

[torn bison]

But doesn't charge strike work off heavies? If I'm using the heavy attack on blaze greatsword its not worth the charged strike?

[jovial juniper]

Blaze Greatsword heavies are very good, you're more likely to kill stuff faster than Charged Strike can act

[wraith sphinx]

500 is nothing though, just enough for one of the less popular weapon skins

[patent mango]

lol

its something ig

[wraith sphinx]

I think I'll get this one with the event aquilas lol

[upper sun]

i think ill get nothing with the event aquilas

[wraith sphinx]

penny pincher

the aquilas are corrosive, they'll burn a hole in your pocket

you gotta spend them

[stoic mason]

Psyker is awesome

[torn bison]

I'm just surprise FS hasn't done what that Weaponsmith mod did - I think more people would buy skins if they could mix-match them like in the mod. People already buy entire armor sets for single piece 🤷

[wraith sphinx]

not even the slab shield?

[forest wedge]

nice choice

[upper sun]

how much was it?

500?

[wraith sphinx]

also 500

[upper sun]

maybe tbh

[forest wedge]

whats the differance with the plasma gun in the store compared to the normal one

[wraith sphinx]

it's slightly longer I think

yeah iirc the base plasma gun skin is short and almost all the skins make it longer

[torn bison]

What ranged weapon should I bring? I'm using Blaze Greatsword and Smite atm

[marble crater]

Elektro staff

[buoyant maple]

grey color + longer barrel

if u want a super plain skin that goes with any/all character cosmetics, this is prob it lol

[wind wind]

Half an hour til the skulls event drops, right? (I mean the conference(

[plucky flax]

Are the skulls event things in havoc too?

Or just normal mode?

[steady yarrow]

I haven't seen it in havoc so far.

[forest wedge]

why did i ask this in psyker

[summer prairie]

only on event maps

[steady yarrow]

20mins

[spice oar]

New staffs for psyker when

[upbeat kestrel]

Finally actual new class pog

Grinding curios on new class

Good thing I have 300k+ melk money

[summer prairie]

it's going to be arbites only parties for a month

[plucky flax]

Worth it for new class. Now different psyker class when

[prime elk]

so it's gonna be dlc 🤔

[plucky flax]

If it's below $10 it's okay.

$15 is a bit steep but okay too.

[steady yarrow]

pretty hype tho

[potent echo]

huuuuuuh

REAL???

[steady yarrow]

ya

customize your cyber-mastiff

[potent echo]

[steady yarrow]

Looks like they can use shields also

[potent echo]

doom the dark ages???

[potent echo]

also is dark heresy a new owlcat game

[summer prairie]

shield+maul and shield+shotpistol

[steady yarrow]

shield+bolt pistol would be pretty lit

I'm guessing it's going to be OP af when it drops

[potent echo]

shotgun pistol?

[summer prairie]

"Muscle forwards with reinforced Assault Shields and a choice of Dominator Maul or Arbites Shotpistol - Darktide’s first defense/range combo"

[rotund dagger]

POG POG POG POG POG POG POG POG POG POG POG POG

[potent echo]

feetknight but with handgun

[summer prairie]

"cosmetics for your Cyber-Mastiff"

[steady yarrow]

new bloodbowl?

[minor wedge]

Siblings, I have a bit of an issue. The DS4 just feels.... off to me. What other high damage alternative can I use that would be a bit easier to use ?

Like, i DO know how to play it. but it feels very unintuitive to me

[marble crater]

Deimos

[potent echo]

deimos is like a harder to use DS4

unless you put on deflector and brrr

[marble crater]

Maybe Deimos is more intuitive

[rotund dagger]

New verm map which i was playing two seconds ago

[potent echo]

sharkfat on strim now

[analog agate]

Being a cynical bitch pays off. I get to be happily surprised

[potent echo]

literally scroll up

[summer prairie]

I was pretty sure there wouldn't be new classes yeah

[analog agate]

Ds4 is easiest to use. The other options are deimos/ob but they are “harder”

[upper sun]

are we eating good?

[analog agate]

I don’t know how heavy repeat is unintuitive

[sturdy reef]

Vt2 shown first

Where is dt lul

[upper sun]

as expected

[sturdy reef]

At least it isnt CA

CA did a trailer for a trailer

[steady yarrow]

i wanna see some gd arbites gameplay

Do you think they're holding it for last or Space Marine 2 update last?

[weary crane]

Is this a paid dlc?

[sturdy reef]

Nah f u take a dog

[steady yarrow]

it looks like paid dlc

[minor wedge]

Dunno. Something about Ds4 just feels off to me

Cant pinpoint it

[summer prairie]

I literally missed this

it was there all along

[steady yarrow]

I guess it takes a bit of getting used to, but it's just all heavy attack poking+special.

[summer prairie]

could have scooped

[weary crane]

Did they duke us with the ratling dialogue?

this is literal dogshit

ill buy it tho

Same XD

[jovial juniper]

Did you miss?

Feels like it was on purpose

[upbeat kestrel]

why dogshit? is it a pun

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/shane-stare-twd-shane-shane-twd-disgusted-gif-3955882274384139874

[upper sun]

nah i just dont like arbieties or judge dredd slop

[sturdy reef]

No wonder we had the RT crossover

[upbeat kestrel]

fair enough

[minor wedge]

Ngl, im kinda excited for it

a new class feels nice

[sturdy reef]

Has rhe same release date

[upper sun]

"Exact punishment with extreme prejudice
Clad in their iconic carapace armour and wielding potent weapons of oppression,"

[sturdy reef]

As the RT dlc too

[upper sun]

ur welcome

[sturdy reef]

Def intentional from GW

I dont see notes about what the class dkes

[minor wedge]

Carapace armor means it could be a sort of tank?

[sturdy reef]

Did they put the steam page up too early?

[upper sun]

nah same as us

just lore wise

[sturdy reef]

I dont see a trailer yet

[potent echo]

ayo lets go

its finally coming

[round blaze]

@upper sun I'm kind of with you on this. I feel like the 40k universe has so many more interesting things than this judge dredd shit.

[summer prairie]

cool trailer

[upper sun]

should have been some tech adept or some lower rank tech priest

[sturdy reef]

Arbites fits

It is a hive world

[steady yarrow]

no gd gameplay lol

[torn bison]

what staff would yall recommend for a staff focused build using Channeled Force & Empyric Shock

[plucky flax]

Shotgun buff for arbites.

[steady yarrow]

I like the robocop vibe.

Robocop meets Judge Dredd.

[upper sun]

so do tech priests theres a stupid amount of archiotech hidden under every hivecity

[steady yarrow]

I was hoping for Tech Priest as well or some kind of Mechanicus class, but happy for content eitherway

[sturdy reef]

Finally the human sized shotguns might be good

[analog agate]

Deimos combo is L1H2 block cancel/weapon swap.

Obscurus is H1L2L3

[potent echo]

isit a coincidence we have 2 arbites dlcs coming out to 2 different games

[sturdy reef]

No

[round blaze]

I haven't been paying attention to GW's main games recently; are arbites models being pushed in 40k tabletop atm? Or is there some arbites tabletop game being released?

[upper sun]

"Players will be able to purchase the Arbites Class on all platforms on June 23, 2025 for the price of $11.99 / €11.99. "

[plucky flax]

Maybe ratling is next in 3 years.

[potent echo]

is it not free

[upper sun]

no

Players will be able to purchase the Arbites Class on all platforms on June 23, 2025 for the price of $11.99 / €11.99.

"euro=usd"

ookay buddy

oookay friendo ooookie dookie pal

[summer prairie]

"Mission board changes: all missions currently in rotation will now be available at every difficulty level. This update significantly broadens the mission selection for players at any tier, offering greater variety and more meaningful choice when deciding how (and where) to fight."

[analog agate]

⬆️

Hopefully should be good

[wraith sphinx]

oh wow, I'm actually very surprised

I thought darktide would never get dlc content

[upper sun]

WHAT

MISSION BOARD LOBOTOMY???

[summer prairie]

"they can also deploy the Nuncio Aquila, “an anti-gravity vox platform that barks imperial propaganda and suppresses the will of the enemy.”"

[potent echo]

kinda wild it costs money but sharkfat gotta

[wraith sphinx]

autonomous flying zealot book

[steady yarrow]

I wonder if they're going to expand the amount of character slots for the weirdos that made two of the same class.

[wraith sphinx]

Reading the store page description, I'm a tad worried how will the class thematically fit with the existing four - I don't mind feature and mechanical overlap but this sounds like arbites just takes the best existing stuff from veteran, zealot and ogryn

[upper sun]

tbh i think theyll get a different prolog

[wraith sphinx]

and I wonder what angle did they go for regarding arbites personalities

[woeful prairie]

It's bothersome too since that's the newest class so most of their attention will be for said class.

[prime elk]

Don’t worry, have faith in FS. Just think about how well the current classes are balanced…

[abstract forge]

Savant now has competition for biggest bootlicker

[wraith sphinx]

it's not a balance issue

[upper sun]

psyker savant but arbities
vet loose cannon but arbities
zealot judge but arbities

[wraith sphinx]

it's a uniqueness issue

[wraith sphinx]

my thoughts too lmao

[woeful prairie]

I'm not mad about it costing money but with how they handle things it'll just feel weird for other stuff to hit the back burner unless you pay for the newest thing

[abstract forge]

I can't see arbites being a reject but idrk

[storm dome]

What level is the greatsword unlocked?

Same question for zealot greatsword

[potent echo]

new darktide "story" sounds interesting though

[summer prairie]

I think I saw some of this story stuff and other changes in the code too

[prime elk]

It’s a balance issue too

[summer prairie]

or localization data

[woeful prairie]

It's going to be hella weird since you got essentially a cop and a bunch of convicts on the same team. I'm actually looking forward to the interactions

[abstract forge]

Same

[storm dome]

My loose cannon fighting the intrusive thoughts

[abstract forge]

I guess I feel like the Arbites will overshadow the rest of the personalities somehow but I suppose that would happen with any new class

My psyker is savant so I'm interested how the converstions will go, probably more friction than not tbh

[wraith sphinx]

I wouldn't be surprised if arbites is overtuned on release then gets incrementally rebalanced later on in order to get more people to buy it at first

[potent echo]

fatshark paid classes all tend to be pretty strong

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah I think so too, Lex Imperialis and arbites are above the enforcers and the lex atoma in the law enforcement pecking order

[potent echo]

grail knight and sott wooo

[prime elk]

The profit incentive here is definitely concerning lol

[wraith sphinx]

I'm not hugely concerned though, it's still a pve game after all

and this is standard practice for similar dlc content

now I'm getting ptsd flashbacks to payday 2

holy fuck, the amount of people running Grinder and just letting the lifesteal carry them instead of playing the game

[potent echo]

i was too used to all DT content updates being free

[wraith sphinx]

or everyone and their grandmother buying gage packs so they can just delete shields and bulldozers from the front and not worry about positioning or flanking

[hardy coral]

I wonder how the dog will be introduced, will it be in the prison cell with the Arbites reject or are they doing to do an entirely different introduction.

[prime elk]

Well bad balance makes the game less fun in general

[abstract forge]

Inb4 exact same prologue except the Arbites is a guard on the Tancred Bastion instead of a prisoner

I could see the story being that they're recruited to "keep an eye" on the rejects or something

Or maybe Dukane wants more oversight and brings them in

[wraith sphinx]

Yes, but I don't believe it'll be a huge issue, unless it's something really egregious

I can already tell you I don't plan on getting the class myself, there seems to be a lot of functional overlap with existing classes + I don't find the arbitrators interesting lorewise

[abstract forge]

ditto

[prime elk]

lol. It might just be given the current state of game balance.

[wraith sphinx]

we will have to wait and see, it can absolutely go sideways but I will remain optimistic.

[prime elk]

Yeah we’ll see

[mental grail]

It's only fair in their eyes, after all.

[plucky flax]

After 2 games only 1.7k skulls.

Bruh thijs event is long

[hardy coral]

i wonder if the doggo will have Ceramite teeth.

[summer prairie]

500 aquilas is what, under 3 dollars worth. That's a lot of hours to play an event that isn't fun

[plucky flax]

Tru but the frame or whatever

Insignia

They need to make skulls auto collected

And for it to drop in all modes.

Rewards people for just playing like normal.

[tired estuary]

nah its way funnier making people mash e while horde clearing for skulls

and skulls getting stuck under floor

[plucky flax]

Look at floor smash e

Based gameplay

[wraith sphinx]

yeah you get about 1k skulls per mission, which is actually pretty standard

[upper sun]

i cant wait to spend 4 hours playing inventory with the new class

[wraith sphinx]

the average live event usually has you doing about 12 or so missions minimum no?

[mental grail]

We need a '#arbite-class' channel

[mental grail]

Can't wait to play fashiontide with all 12 cosmetic items on release

[upper sun]

i hope this will be enough

like what? 9 mil for commissary?

[sturdy reef]

Will the arbites have their havok cosmetics

[mental grail]

Bruh

insane

[mental grail]

Probably not.

[sturdy reef]

Womp

[mental grail]

We don't even have commissary skins for the bolt pistol.

[upper sun]

i believe they will

fatshark has millions invested in the recolor sweatshops

[mental grail]

I don't hope anymore, it's better to be always surprised

[wraith sphinx]

lmao true

[wraith sphinx]

I agree

I was hoping for something else here for example and my hopes got dashed

but I also already forgot about it so I'm not bummed

[mental grail]

What were you hoping for?

If it was ratlings I'm putting you in the contraption

[marble crater]

Is it time to delete my second psyker for the new class?

[upper sun]

1. it releases in a month

2. im 100% sure theyll give us a new slot for then

however

HOWEVER

people like @strong gulch should be careful idk how adding a new class slot is gonna work for people that have the mod already for unlocking more class slots

[marble crater]

However this event is great because now darktide imperial edition is on sale for like 20€ so I will finally actually buy the game and get 2k aquilas as well

[plucky flax]

I'll stop at 9k skulls for the hats

[upper sun]

dude i got the whole thing for 25 euro

[plucky flax]

3k extra for 500 aquila is oto much

[upper sun]

you've been rock sleep maxxing 😭

"So in the vanilla game additional character slots will NOT be made available as new classes are released, as mods are not created or managed by us I can't say what will happen with them."

[plucky flax]

Who is trolling on leddit?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1ksw3g4/pysker_class_needs_love/

[upper sun]

NO NEW SLOTS

[marble crater]

It's been on Gamepass this entire time, so I never had a reason to buy it
Have been waiting for a sale like this the entire time

[marble crater]

So deleting the psyker next month

[marble crater]

Sorry, it was you

[plucky flax]

Tru

It was unsanctioned trolling

[strong gulch]

I hope my multiple psykers are safe.

[upper sun]

🤔

if you open your game on an unmodded pc do the other classes disappear?

[marble crater]

You need to feed one to the golden throne

[upper sun]

i wonder if my laptop can start darktide natively long enough to make a new character

[marble crater]

Test it

[wraith sphinx]

anything funny or is it just unoriginal bait

[upper sun]

later

[strong gulch]

If I load the game with mods off, all of my characters and builds are still there. I can't add more tho.

[plucky flax]

Unoriginal don't worry about it

[upper sun]

but you can play the 6th+ chars just fine?

[plucky flax]

Safest probably wait until more loadout is updated after patch? Or you can just adjust the mod to have even more character slots and see how that goes.

[upper sun]

"So in the vanilla game additional character slots will NOT be made available as new classes are released, as mods are not created or managed by us I can't say what will happen with them."

wait "vanilla" game maybe theyll be added with the dlc?

idk this is confusing

oookay if push comes to shove i can try modding it on my laptop and making a new char there

[strange wyvern]

brain burst needs love maybe

[wraith sphinx]

im not 100% sure but - don't delete your cache and your extra chars should be fine

finally, another cool profile frame

[marble crater]

[spice oar]

should I make a new psyker?

[plucky flax]

No it sucks really bad. Read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1ksw3g4/pysker_class_needs_love/

[tired estuary]

no thanks

[marble crater]

Why new? Do you have an old one?

[spice oar]

lmao i am a psyker main i was just split on starting over cause ive got best weapons and everything

[spice oar]

IN WHAT WORLD ARE WE THE SLOWEST CLASS?

[elder glade]

I'm sanic

[marble crater]

At least everyone is saying the post is stupid and bait

one game of scriers gaze and smg

or my fav scriers and double shotty

Play the other classes if you don't already

[spice oar]

all 30 😭

I just find it funny that everyone unanimously agrees that this is the worst take of all time

[autumn lark]

clad this is why your a noob that cant do havoc

what is even happening to that fish

[marble crater]

Touch grass then, I don't know
Play something else, try weird builds. Leveling a new character is fast and painful, unless you make it a challenge with perma death or something

[marble crater]

We did it

[hardy coral]

this meme made me so sad but then im like "probably hit a barrel." and i lmfao'd so hard.

[spice oar]

i just need some darktide when i get home from stuff yk

perma death lowkey a move

[elder glade]

Perma death isn't a bad idea if you are bored honestly

[wraith sphinx]

have you tried brain burst gun psyker yet

[spice oar]

ive been a gunker advocate since release, love it

[wraith sphinx]

🧎‍♂️‍➡️

[spice oar]

they buffed my gorgeous auto pistol too

[elder glade]

🧎‍♀️‍➡️

[spice oar]

you may rise

[wraith sphinx]

[spice oar]

also disco elysium profile pic we love to see it

[wraith sphinx]

hell yeah

[wind spruce]

Ok but how do we play the new class and still be psyker

[upper sun]

i cant read

[fiery stratus]

Guyz

[wraith sphinx]

I don't like how vague that is

will this force the average player to play malice even more?

[glacial vapor]

Helldivers has a very similar system

It solved nothing

[elder glade]

Sounds like that is the case until they get good and hit some form of requirement

[wraith sphinx]

like the first game or?

[upper sun]

new smykers are now banned from auric 🙏

[fiery stratus]

Sounds like if someone can't clear so many of a difficulty they can't move up

Sounds good to me

[elder glade]

[wraith sphinx]

OH

[glacial vapor]

2. Not sure about the original

[wraith sphinx]

yeah that's fine but won't solve shit

[fiery stratus]

No it will

[glacial vapor]

Copium

[wraith sphinx]

if HD2 is any indicator it won't

so many dogshit players on super helldive

[fiery stratus]

It's not gonna make a massive difference because a lot of active players are already past that point

[wraith sphinx]

the system is fine as an extended tutorial but it won't make players less bad a tthe game

[fiery stratus]

No, but it will help lock useless players out of auric

I'm all for that

[wraith sphinx]

doubt it

useless players got carried through H40

[fiery stratus]

Some people will get carried yes, but i bet it'll cause some type of drop

[wraith sphinx]

true

[elder glade]

It'll probably force players to at least look at their build a bit more or something. Use at least one more braincell. Thats kind of it though

[wraith sphinx]

like statistically you're correct matt but it the problem will remain

it's no wonder solution in any case

[glacial vapor]

There will always be players pushing above their paygrade. Whether their intentions are good or they' re looking for a hard carry

[fiery stratus]

Well if the system was in place from the start it would've been a lot better of course. Like I said unless they retroactively make you do that a lot of people are already passed that part

[wraith sphinx]

yeah

[fiery stratus]

But it will help with new characters for new players

[torn kernel]

no more power leveling

[elder glade]

watch that they make it so that everyone is reset to the starting difficulties or something

[fiery stratus]

I'm betting someone can still drag u through

You just can't queue

Probably no normal heresy at level 8 or whatever lol

[cursive thorn]

holy shit it’s actually a new class

[strong gulch]

Private party will likely be fine.

[fiery stratus]

Yep

[torn kernel]

oh

fair

[weary idol]

I see no shortage of useless players that are in havoc 30-40

mostly book zealots and dome psykers

the usual

[cursive thorn]

oh the new class is paid dlc shame

[fiery stratus]

Oh 100%

[cursive thorn]

ig to be expected when vermintide had similar

[fiery stratus]

But you're not gonna see so many true level +10 players

Which im down for

Literally almost every maelstrom its carrying 3 of those

[marble crater]

DLC is like 10-12€, not too bad

[upper sun]

if i get a job rn i can make enough money to buy it

[fiery stratus]

Apparently they said maps/modes wouldnt be paid so it wouldnt split the player base. But other content wasn't out of the question. Another class is technically optional.

[cursive thorn]

i fw that

can yall give me a pskyer build easy enough for an ogryn to perform on

[marble crater]

Check pins for the Inferno build

[cursive thorn]

thats the easiest build? thats the one im struggling with rn

[summer prairie]

take bubble instead of shriek

[marble crater]

Staff is easy to use, you can also try Elektro

[summer prairie]

and drop wildfire for another toughness gen node

[flat nexus]

Ive seen an ogryn with no skull frusher on mk3 club 😂

[plucky flax]

Sry was me

[flat nexus]

@plucky flax are you playing chief 👀

[plucky flax]

After food I can

Maybe in 30 mins 45 mins

[flat nexus]

Playing the new mode for a round

[celest valve]

huh. psyker slowest class.

[plucky flax]

Probably left click melee right click for aim mode.

Like the gg on oggy

[summer prairie]

right, but can you get another melee or ranged weapon in addition

but thinking about it it's probably just shield+maul counting as melee and shield+pistol as ranged

[sturdy reef]

Its a combo weapon

[marble crater]

So we can use both at the same time

[summer prairie]

it is combo

but it goes into your melee or ranged slot

[celest valve]

Mission board changes: all missions currently in rotation will now be available at every difficulty level. This update significantly broadens the mission selection for players at any tier, offering greater variety and more meaningful choice when deciding how (and where) to fight. Neat. I no longer have to play the same missions several times in a row :p

[flat nexus]

if its shield + something combo I feel like skullcrusher will be op skull crusher on anything, if it has that blessing

[cursive thorn]

what da hell robocop

[upper sun]

neat now i can play the same mission several times in a row

[marble crater]

" currently in rotation"

[upper sun]

ur not invited to my silo cluster high intensity ogryn only monsters mission

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

I still haven't leveled oggy to 30.

[wraith sphinx]

you're not invited to my high intensity brute conscripts with high intensity brute conscript snipers gauntlet (brute conscripts purge)

[upper sun]

by the time you level ogryn to 30 youll have 4 more classes to level

[marble crater]

bruh

[strong gulch]

Double that and I might level my vet.

[upper sun]

forgot monsterous/enhanced blitz/enhanced ability/enhanced melee

[wraith sphinx]

my leveling order was vet psyker ogryn then zealot

[wraith sphinx]

true! enhanced brute conscripts blitz

[strong gulch]

hi

[marble crater]

hi, go level your ogryn

[wraith sphinx]

the entire mission is essentially just one very long crusher roar

[upper sun]

mine was vet>give up and make a zealot>give up and level psyker>level ogryn>level zealot>level vet>level zealot again

oh also

[marble crater]

Psyker - Zealot - Vet - Ogryn - Psyker

[upper sun]

ALSO

[wraith sphinx]

I initially wanted to ignore psyker because "ew spellcaster" but then I realized psykers can also use guns and I was like HOLY SHIT VETERAN BUT MORE FUN?

[upper sun]

@marble crater im booking you were gonna make a private game and cheat level our arbities together

[wraith sphinx]

I have been something of a gun psyker main ever since

[upper sun]

two aurics/maelstroms and we should be at level 20

[nocturne dust]

The 5th class is real?

[wraith sphinx]

yes

[upper sun]

5TH CLASS IS REAL

[nocturne dust]

We don't have solo mode

[wraith sphinx]

it's the annoying cops

[strong gulch]

Think mine was psyker, psyker, zealot, psyker, vet to 15, make another psyker, oggy not yet 30

[marble crater]

Private game, one leaves and joins again, then other leaves and joins again?

[upper sun]

yee

[vernal temple]

I destroyed 9000 skulls and all I got is this insignia.

[nocturne dust]

We have bugs and balance issues galore

[upper sun]

well prolly find others tho

[marble crater]

yeah we can do that

[nocturne dust]

AND THEY'RE ADDING A FIFTH CLASS???

[wraith sphinx]

slop

[nocturne dust]

Somehow I'm disappointed

[wraith sphinx]

well done though 🫡

I'm currently at 8k skulls

[upper sun]

i like it!!

[marble crater]

And 500 premium currency

[upper sun]

(currently at 700 skulls)

[vernal temple]

that's for 12000

[wraith sphinx]

not a fan myself but to each their own

[upper sun]

im studying 😭

@nocturne dust teach me graph theory so i can play more 😭

[marble crater]

Well keep going then you slacker

[vernal temple]

but I don't wanna 😭

[marble crater]

[vernal temple]

anyone else noticed these?

[upper sun]

no

[vernal temple]

speakers for the arbites propaganda

[nocturne dust]

theorize the graph

[strong gulch]

I haven't been playing, so no.

[upper sun]

dude i hate it so much its unreal every fucking website/person/teacher/slide has their own different method for the same thing

[cursive thorn]

toughness dmg reduction or + 15 toughness node

[strong gulch]

I would have tho. I angrily stare at the out of place tile in one of the elevators.

[wraith sphinx]

I lost my marbles a little yesterday and the day before because I encountered over a dozen shitty smykers trying to grind havoc exemplar title

today's much better though

[marble crater]

15 toughness

[nocturne dust]

Is literally just circles and lines

[marble crater]

Sorry

[nocturne dust]

[wraith sphinx]

I'll find it in my heart to forgive you someday

[upper sun]

no its linear algebra on drugs

[upper sun]

https://streamable.com/8o5tj8

[marble crater]

(nevermind that I didn't play in several weeks)

[upper sun]

did you do it? did you become the 34th expedition?

[nocturne dust]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

We talking about the same graph theory?

[upper sun]

yes

[marble crater]

I finished the story yes, now still need to do all the end game dungeons and bosses of course

[wraith sphinx]

I saw like three different golden title smykers getting decapitated by rinda karnak's 360 swing while they were smiting her the entire time

they were so trash I wanted to cry

[upper sun]

fourier-motzkin elimination, LP,IP,DLP etc

i hate it so much

actually thats just the topics i know

I'm hoping to pass it by only learning the linear algebra parts

[elder glade]

It sounds like you needed to have a fourth smyker

[wraith sphinx]

there's always a slot open if you want to hop on

[marble crater]

40% more smite damage

[elder glade]

[wraith sphinx]

-# and a barrel with your name on it

[elder glade]

[wraith sphinx]

[plucky flax]

@flat nexus

can play now

[flat nexus]

just finished

if your in game i can wait

[plucky flax]

Half way thru this malice game

[flat nexus]

how much skulls do you get per game in malice

i got 980 on my first game ||damnation||

[plucky flax]

Prolly less but faster time

[stoic mason]

[jovial juniper]

The original name is Hihi though

Fem Savant

Because fem Savant is the best

(totally not biased opinion)

[upper sun]

WHY DOES SHE HAVE BOOB ARMOR

[marble crater]

Don't question Xcom logic

[upper sun]

SHES A SNAKE THEY LAY EGGS(which im pretty sure you burn at one mission)

[marble crater]

Maybe human turned into a snake? Like Advent soldiers?

[upper sun]

why do u have xenos in ur game?

[weary idol]

Anyways real answer to that

Xcom 2's Vipers are the Thin Men from Xcom Enemy Unknown

Slowly turning back into the original alien selves that they were before being edited to look like humans in the first game

[upper sun]

(1% human)
(its in the boobs)

[marble crater]

I remember the doctor talking about Thin Men, yes

[upper sun]

peak humanity right here

[karmic reef]

Trying to make the Seer as a dnd character, warlock obviously but idk what patron to give him, great old one makes sense, but it’s abilities just seem mediocre

Hexblade seems interesting, but idk if it fits

[marble crater]

Maybe I will actually finish an Xcom 2 run at one point, I always get too OP and then it's boring so I stop

[weary idol]

would work significantly easier in pathfinder

since they have actual psychic classes there

failing that

[upper sun]

play a couple more missions game usually gets good at self balancing

[wraith sphinx]

My psyker name's Tacita because I like ancient roman names

[weary idol]

Fighter, Monk, and I think Rogue? all have psychic subclasses

Great Old One is the closest you'll get to a psychic caster though

[upper sun]

my psyker is "Euphrati-Clear" because she was called clea before

[marble crater]

I will try beta strike settings next time I think, then I can't just one shot everything on my turn

[wraith sphinx]

and it's the opposite sex name of Publius Tacitus the historian

which I think is a nice fit for a personality like the Savant, even more so in retrospect

[upper sun]

savant is so well written

goes from zhe power of friendship :3 to FEAR THE FUTURE in seconds

[wraith sphinx]

I really enjoy the savants being a counterbalance to the whackos of the team too

have you ever noticed how banter between savant psyker and cutthroat vet sometimes gets awkward and not-flirty though

it's hilarious

[zinc phoenix]

They’re clearly into each other 😂

[strong gulch]

Seer saying things like "Oh no I'm never scared. I go directly to TERRIFIED!"

[upper sun]

its actually loose cannon not cuttthroat that flirts with her

and i think scottish zealot and fem loose cannon

[wraith sphinx]

no no other way around

[upper sun]

ah ye i misread that

nah

i want a darktide dating sim

[wraith sphinx]

savant tells the cutthroat "Did I just catch you smiling?" and then the cutthroat gets all flustered and calls them a freak

[marble crater]

Seer is the reason for everyone else being scared, unhinged as fuck

[wraith sphinx]

also Seer's 4th wall breaking lines are hilarious but I tire of their constant Beloved yapping

[marble crater]

I wouldn't want to be around someone who thinks everything is a dream, while they slaughter people

What if they dream I am an enemy? No thanks

[upper sun]

their beloved wont let them its ok

[strong gulch]

Seer just gets jumpy around stairs and doors... Also will sometimes claim that "healing is for real people and not dreams".

[wraith sphinx]

Oh also apparently cutthroat vet can offer to quickly and painlessly mercy kill the savant psyker when they deteoriate to the point of not being to control their powers anymore, and when the savant asks why the cutthroat replies that they trust the savant psyker

[sturdy reef]

cant wait to see what the OG malleus monstorum pennace analogue is for the arbites

[upper sun]

"kill a monster with your dog"

[marble crater]

dies in the next room after skipping the med station

[sturdy reef]

[wraith sphinx]

I also like the Loner psyker for just being casually heretical

almost everything from ogryns is a gem too but everyone knows that

my personal favourite is the savant psyker being made an honourary ogryn

[marsh shore]

ah yeah that's a great one
"i will speak with the others" like bodyguard has to consult the council

[wraith sphinx]

also, never seen this line before

[marsh shore]

rare brahms not threatening to flush the rejects into the vacuum of space moment

[karmic reef]

Yeah it just seems mediocre, I’m trying to emulate his abilities within the game as well as possible, idk what else I can do to do that

[weary idol]

play pathfinder

you could always ask your DM if you could alter abilities within reason

Or use a homebrew psychic class

I haven't looked myself but there's bound to be a homebrew psychic class thats better designed than any of the base 5e classes if your DM is up for it

[strange wyvern]

Apparently pathfinder 2 has psychics

[weary idol]

yeah it's got a lot

Paizo's content cycle is much faster than Wizcoast

not even including these things

[mental grail]

Imagine the arbite hearing that?

[weary idol]

Arbites talent that adds friendly fire to their ranged weapons

[cursive thorn]

why is everyone and their mother wearing a gas mask all of a sudden

[wraith sphinx]

I mean if the zealot can pretend not to hear that so will the arbite

[cursive thorn]

i wonder why they ended up on that prison transport

[cursive thorn]

would make a funny havoc modifier

[upper sun]

anyone playing

i have time for one game

[wraith sphinx]

I do

[upper sun]

hell yeah

im booting in rn

[wraith sphinx]

alr waiting on you

[upper sun]

inv

[mental grail]

Pox gas

[noble panther]

hi! is it worth taking quiуtude on a scrier's gaze build? i've noticed that i hardly even quell because their -50 peril from the ability and warp unbound

is it worth taking warp expenditure instead?

[jovial juniper]

Nurgle

Never Warp Expenditure

Always quietude

Quietude is basically the double of Expenditure

[cursive thorn]

yea but you need to stop shooting to use it

[jovial juniper]

Or

Crack of Bone

Hmmm

It should count all types of quell

[cursive thorn]

does it count shriek and scrier quell

[noble panther]

oh that's what i wanted to know
does it count cboc/shriek/gaze/purloin providence

[tepid prairie]

can someone send me a good phyker build

🙏

[noble panther]

@tepid prairie what do you want to use?

[plucky flax]

Bubble knight

[tepid prairie]

the most meta stuff

i dont really mind

[noble panther]

try the left one with inferno staff

I'd personally drop wildfire and invest in some keystone subnode, but it's up to you

[cursive thorn]

bubble over shriek is also nice

[tepid prairie]

thanks

[plucky flax]

Only nice for havoc.

[weary idol]

even in havoc bubble mid

[noble panther]

also i'd swap kinetic flail for kinetic resonance for some boss damage

[plucky flax]

Fair but I am really bad so I play bubble knight rather than gazer knight.

[jovial juniper]

It procs on Active and Passive quelling

I guess any of those are considered passive quelling

[upper sun]

that 5090 is really paying off

ur videos are now lagging my pc

[wraith sphinx]

the indistinct black lasgun skin is close...

[upper sun]

btw did warren always do this?

[wraith sphinx]

no I don't think so

that looks like a texture/model bug

[upper sun]

peak 🧎

[wraith sphinx]

but I also play on low settings so I can't really tell either way

[jovial juniper]

That's the roof opening

[upper sun]

ye

but was it always like this

[jovial juniper]

I don't know
Play on low and shit

[plucky flax]

You're welcome

[zinc phoenix]

neat theyre finally gonna explain the story

its been 3 years which seems like a long time to wait to do that

[fading pelican]

i went from maining zealot to maining ogryn and now i love all 4 classes equally. i really just needed to try the electrokinetic staff cuz it has made psyker so much more enjoyable for me, got so bored of inferno staff

[nocturne dust]

wdym?

[cursive thorn]

are they? i thought the whole point of darktide was its an endless war

[upper sun]

did it always have a godlight tracing the opening

[cursive thorn]

not like vermintide

[upper sun]

god light?

god ray?

whats it called?

[nocturne dust]

At least as far back as I can remember

[upper sun]

idk first i ever noticed it

maybe they made it brighter?

[nocturne dust]

so at least a.... year-ish, now?

[nocturne dust]

does look brighter on your screen

[upper sun]

yes

by a lot

i asked in game chat and once person said it was new

the god rays feel new

OR OR

or.....

[nocturne dust]

So is the new class just Judge Dredd

[upper sun]

ray tracing turned itself on

[nocturne dust]

might be

[upper sun]

back in the day GW just copied random shit they liked

[wraith sphinx]

I'm ngl I don't think there's much to explain

but I get it, one of the most common complaints was the very barebones story

[nocturne dust]

Pretty sure they still do that

[upper sun]

dan cabinet in charge of writing a story.............

[wraith sphinx]

yes, that's what adeptus arbites are in a nutshell

[wraith sphinx]

erm it was actually mostly matt ward 🤓 ☝️ dan abnett was just a guest writer

[nocturne dust]

We could have had scientist or discount sister, but instead we get mall cop

[upper sun]

theyre both mid

imagine if my beloved ABD wrote it.........

[wraith sphinx]

Dan's horus heresy books are mostly good but also incredible slow burns

[upper sun]

it would have taken fatshark 4x time longer to finish it but it would have been kino

[nocturne dust]

I hope the class has no dodges due to the carapace armor

[upper sun]

let me redirect you to #40k-book-club

[nocturne dust]

[wraith sphinx]

and still hating on matt ward is kinda lame, it's been over a decade since the ultrawank, get over it

[cursive thorn]

perfect, i dont use dodges anyways

[nocturne dust]

Won't happen, but would be funny

[wraith sphinx]

oh shit I forgot it has a dedicated containment channel

nevermind I'll shut up about books now

[upper sun]

i didnt mean it as that

[wraith sphinx]

ik lmao

[upper sun]

i meant that i have spent months shit talking dan there

MONTHS

[wraith sphinx]

ooh

damn

[upper sun]

his books arent even good they just give him the better stories

hey nick pls write a story about LITERALLY NOTHING

66 CHAPTERS OF FUCKING NOTHING

[wraith sphinx]

yeah I can see that

[upper sun]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Deathfire_(Novel)

fuck this book

seriously

[wraith sphinx]

real

even that cover description just screams "filler"

[upper sun]

i was ||teased with the return of vulkan for 5 books and then in this one they spent 66 chapters trying to revive him||

in chapter 67 ||he says my sons..... and it fucking fades to black||

i was so mad it was unreal

[wraith sphinx]

so it's just over 400 pages of leading the reader on

awesome

[upper sun]

i dont think its even a book just an experiment designed to make you feel like the main char and how fucking depressed and gutted he was the whole time

66 chapters man...

[wraith sphinx]

sounds extremely blech

[cursive thorn]

this is why i watch yt shorts about the lore instead of reading the books

[zinc phoenix]

yeah along with adding judge dredd and cyberdog

[zinc phoenix]

im just hoping for a map of tertium and a quick intro on who these people are and where they came from

[wraith sphinx]

oh yeah that would def be nice

also

yippee...

[cursive thorn]

what curios does pskyer like

[verbal thistle]

As per usual stacking toughness

I do 2 tough 1 hp

Psyker has no need for stamina

With their stam regen speed and delay

And access to kinetic reflection

[noble panther]

any recs? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ef7706c-266a-4185-bdc6-7c6945f72e91/i-broke-my-left-mouse-button

[cursive thorn]

what abt secondary perks

[wraith sphinx]

I do 2 tough 1 stam because base stamina psyker just feels gross

[verbal thistle]

Curio perks are mainly preference, but I do, HP/toughness/gunner res on all 3

Some people switch the HP for CDR

[wraith sphinx]

as for perks here's my current setup

[verbal thistle]

Up to you to see what benefits you more

[wraith sphinx]

yeah try differing perks around, see what suits you most

[zinc phoenix]

what are those?

[cursive thorn]

does corruption resistance affect the corruption you take when crystalline procs

[wraith sphinx]

da premium currency

[wraith sphinx]

no

[zinc phoenix]

what are they giving us cash shop monies for?

[cursive thorn]

god forbid they make that one useful

[verbal thistle]

CW is always 1 wound of corruption

[wraith sphinx]

crystalline procs when you're supposed to get downed, and getting downed is unremoveable corruption

[verbal thistle]

Lol

[wraith sphinx]

for completing live event

[zinc phoenix]

oh word

[marble crater]

We are so back

[wraith sphinx]

it's just enough for one of the cheaper weapon skins

[zinc phoenix]

goop still here tho

so meh

[cursive thorn]

where do i see that

[wraith sphinx]

hold tab

[marble crater]

we can pet the dog

[strong gulch]

pet the dog 👀

[weary idol]

distinctly NOT dog

[young cliff]

Bear genes, robotic augmentations, it's the same, all is dogo in the end

[jovial juniper]

If not friend

Why friend shaped

[strong gulch]

behold dog

[karmic reef]

I want to do decent psychic damage but also do the really flashy evocation stuff psykers can do, I'm a kalashor so I have most of the psychic stuff covered

doesnt strictly have to be warlock, I guess I could do sorcerer as well

but eldrich blast is very smite like

[somber echo]

https://tenor.com/view/james-candy-family-guy-trap-gif-7655570

[wispy bay]

Krak can insta destroy the altar, quick and easy..

[mental grail]

Bro I don't need any another class

Arbites are chadmaxxing and dogmaxxing at the same time

[nocturne dust]

I would sacrifice a whole three classes for server stability

4 if it gets worse

[mental grail]

Server stability is a myth

[nocturne dust]

I hope their grenades aren't limited use but are on a timer, I like timers and cooldowns much more than ammo counts

[potent echo]

Maybe they will get their own grenade Regen talent

[nocturne dust]

well, they might not even get a grenade

could be, like, dog commands or something

or those announcer thingies they mentioned

[ripe obsidian]

Dog > grenade

[potent echo]

Blitz

3 different dog commands

[weary idol]

or you can melee it a couple times which gimps your build far less than taking kraks

[minor wedge]

Apparently you CAN pet the dog

[potent echo]

Press F to pet dog

[steady yarrow]

havok 30-35 is horrible lol

[weary idol]

it's so fun I love it

[mossy grove]

"Being able to stop enemies from hitting you with melee attacks is vital to avoiding chip health damage. Therefore, we are going to make ALL enemies entirely immune to crowd control. Fuck you, your mother, your sister, your brother, and the family dog."

If Havok is just a lazy attempt to increase difficulty by taking away core mechanics, then it's a shit gamemode and it's no wonder nobody plays it except to torture themselves grinding out the Clearance 40 penance.

[static sonnet]

Don't say that outloud they'll hear you

[potent echo]

That's my intention

I just hate havoc for messing with my breakpoints

[ripe obsidian]

Enemies are not immune to CC in havoc, but okay. One modifier makes elites at low HP immune to CC, but that's it.

[plucky flax]

I play it cos maelstrom got too boring with how op some classes are

[tired estuary]

*with how op every class is

[steady yarrow]

I enjoy it with every essence of my being.

[tired estuary]

havoc fun idk

[steady yarrow]

but

i'm looking forward to more auric maelstrom

[plucky flax]

Some more op than others. Ogryn and psyker

[tired estuary]

sure but two vets shouting at right time is all it takes for mael

or vet brings bolter magdump build to monstrous mael bc ammo isn't a concern outside havoc

[strong gulch]

Just bring me along. No havoc needed.

[wind spruce]

A melee weapon with no ranged, blitz or combat ability is all it takes for mael

[strong gulch]

So many games have an update today. Even Virtual Interactive Fireplace had an update. What a day.

[restive slate]

Might be the Inspect button

[torn kernel]

Tis the dawn of a new financial quarter

They gotta do somethin lmao

[strong gulch]

[polar flower]

I need to explode dogs with my mind

[mossy grove]

There's one that affects all enemies with low HP IIRC.

[wooden edge]

what's the greatsword dump stat, resistance?

[elder glade]

Yep

[wooden edge]

alr

[steep flower]

wasnt getting a response in GC, is the ingame chat broken..? VOIP doesnt seem to work either

[wind spruce]

Mine's working

[steep flower]

weird.. I dont even use mods that alter in game chat

[plucky flax]

Maybe vpn

[orchid shadow]

Is something up with the Lieutenants for the skull events? One explosion just knocked out two of us from full health and toughness

[verbal thistle]

captins have a bug

with their bubble knockback

it can 1 shot you

[orchid shadow]

https://youtu.be/XA66_0lSIZs?si=o0kS-8SwBT-CXCmH

[verbal thistle]

through hp and toughness

[orchid shadow]

Welp, okay then. =S

[tired estuary]

yeah its v rare (at least from my exp) but still p shit when it happens lmao

[plucky flax]

Fartshart moment.

[strong gulch]

Sometimes the chat breaks. IDK about VOIP because I only VC here in discord.

Ye. I've only been captained like that once.

I fall through the map more often.

[tired estuary]

I saw a psyker get shield pooped on near start of havoc run, played a 2nd game and then it happened to me at same spot (thankfully I was zealot and had until death up )

p sure that's the only time its happened to me too

[strong gulch]

rude game

[torn bison]

does Perilous Assault also increase swap speed to your blitz/psyker move?

[plucky flax]

It should do for blitz.

But it's so fast already.

[quartz barn]

And you can cancel the animation anyway

[wooden edge]

is it just my luck or do i basically never get psionics to proc without overpowering souls

[marble crater]

Maybe you are just not getting the last hit on a lot of enemies?

[vernal temple]

I fucking hate grimoire missions. This is just from ONE book.

I wish ObeseFish would rework those so it just applies a flat corruption value without the corruption added over time.

[wispy bay]

It is though...

[plucky flax]

Get more hp or put some corruption resistance in. Or just don't play grim missions

Im sorry

[vernal temple]

I usually don't play grimoire mission for this exact reason, but I needed a bit more skulls to complete the event and the only event missions were with grims

[plucky flax]

Play malice

[vernal temple]

that's the thing, at the time when I played, there were no malice event missions. only one on heresy and one on damnation. both had grimoires

and I was missing around 50 skulls until 12.000 lol

[marble crater]

Best thing is when someone picks up the grim in the very first room, enjoy all that corruption for the entire mission

[vernal temple]

that's exactly what happened

and throughout the entire mission I never got to use the medicae

though an ogryn was kind enough to stab me with a "health nosh" stim

[quartz barn]

Aah i remember when i farmed grim missions for the penance

[wraith sphinx]

chaos spawn threw my ass into the backrooms

can't make this shit up

[quartz barn]

So many people get pissy when you pick up grims lmao

[vernal temple]

cause they stinky books

don't touch stinky

[quartz barn]

Ye but a lot of people act like losing 35% hp = unplayable

[wraith sphinx]

a lot of babies

what do they do on pox gas missions, uninstall the game?

[quartz barn]

Apparently yes

There was someone here last week who just uninstalls for a week when blight spreads is active in havoc

Pinged a cm with it too

Like bro

[wraith sphinx]

a community manager's unenviable job is to be a magnet for people like that

unfortunately

[potent echo]

What they gonna do though, rage quit? Votekick almost never works

[wraith sphinx]

but yeah that's big dumb

[quartz barn]

Votekick is so funny

Ive only seen it work in the worst case scenario

Aka 3 premades votekicking the random

[vernal temple]

I would be fine with that, if there wasn't a steady tick of corruption robbing me of more and more HP as I've pointed out with my healthbar above

[wraith sphinx]

wym by not working though

[quartz barn]

Or better

[potent echo]

It goes away so fast and people just don't have time to read it in the middle of auric

[wraith sphinx]

oh

[quartz barn]

2 people votekick the third, which goes through because the fourth is a bot

[wraith sphinx]

oh yeah I guess over half the playerbase doesn't even know votekick is a thing

I've never initiated a votekick myself but I saw two and both were succesful

[summer prairie]

it's a shame we can't blight pox gas with grims in havoc

[wraith sphinx]

one was a wiseguy zealot who roamed around the empty train map instead of extracting on rolling steel, other was a russian squaker who started calling us f slurs when we went to revive a player who got downed earlier over him

actually no I lied there was a third time I saw a votekick in progress but that one failed

when mortis trials released one ogryn split off from us to fool around with the op infinite ammo gunlugger build, one dogshit burga psyker got mad about it and spammed votekicks the entire 30 minutes of the match

[deft stump]

Halp, GF totally doing your nonsense but Trauma.

[wraith sphinx]

then I got tired of his votekick spamming and split off to join that ogryn and the psyker crashed out in chat

just 10 full minutes of "you're trash, you're killing this game, anti teamplay behavior, I'm blocking you"

[plucky flax]

What nonsense? I make all the senses

[nocturne dust]

Can you remake my sense of smell

[plucky flax]

No enjoy your covid

[deft stump]

Bubble knight but rending trauma.

[plucky flax]

[summer prairie]

if it's the same build but with trauma, I couldn't get that to work in havoc at least due to too much peril

[plucky flax]

Maybe have to go gaze

Or take er somehow

[deft stump]

IDK how she runs it, all I know is trauma.

[summer prairie]

maybe by crack of bone helps but then might as well not grab warp rider

[deft stump]

All I know is traumatised.

[plucky flax]

Cyber doggo passive. Kill all specials before they can reach team

[quartz barn]

Wait your gf is literally me

Fav build

[deft stump]

She saw beeg sword and...

[quartz barn]

Bb, bubble, warp charges, rending trauma

[deft stump]

<Insert Relic Zealot gamplay but more traumatic to me.>

[quartz barn]

Although i still pref ds over fgs on that setup because gapclose speed

[summer prairie]

not a bubble knight without dd imo, that's just a normal trauma build

and assail

someone running this with voidstrike

I guess it's not that bad except for wildfire

and souldrinker

[quartz barn]

Running dd without scriers seems like such a waste imo

[summer prairie]

not at all

at least not with fgs+assail, it's good

[quartz barn]

I know it doesnt have to be, but big dmg + speed

[wraith sphinx]

yeah it feels illogical but it's entirely feasible

[deft stump]

She like beeg sword.

[potent echo]

DD gives you breakpoints with assail and also FGS

I usually play vent DD

[deft stump]

She just wanted bubble. Only lvl 22 or so rn so no keystone yet.

[plucky flax]

Fgs is op you dont even need dd to do big damage. Obviously it's really nice but I've seen keystoneless bubble fgs lol

[uncut sinew]

my favourite is sciers w/ EP

love me some infinite assails

[plucky flax]

Oh you talking about gaze

Ye fgs doesn't need gaze

[uncut sinew]

nope

[plucky flax]

Crit from shred

Boom boom

[uncut sinew]

only dd and it does more than well enough

[deft stump]

Either way, traumatised.

[plucky flax]

I've hit 15k in 1 shot against bonbon

[uncut sinew]

[plucky flax]

Oggy soften them up xd

[uncut sinew]

perfect.

squishy mfs

[plucky flax]

58k hp in 10s but I miss a few hits because of specials standing inside bonbon

[plucky flax]

This tree slightly modified is fine for bubble knight but would use a lot more ammo to fight shooters without assails

But more bubble up time

[summer prairie]

that's not a bubble knight, he has voidstrike
