Yes, by objective mathematical understanding, there are other stories that go on in that universe.
im not saying it applies to like the majority, i have no idea
and do you think those trillions of people only exist for a temporary period of significance
But the overarching plot of the universe is to live.
if some 50 year old dies in a meaningless war is his story or life any more insignificant than some 20 yr old?
And we have fun engaging in their little warfare.
im basically just saying that if someone's entire life is to be tortured every day and they will NOT be saved then they might as well just die sadly
everyones story is as important as the next
And yeah, that's a great perspective for someone outside of their context.
i mean if they want to believe they should go on
And I'm sure some of them choose that.
You're also talking philosophically.
WE know.
yeah they dont*
I mean, I think you've lost the plot a bit here.
My point is I dislike Wh40k because it is emotionally bland. All that exists is suffering and war (yes, paradise planets are mentioned but they're also never shown and never really focused on, all Wh40k cares about is the horror and the suffering). The problem is having the suffering and the suffering and the suffering all the time devalues practically everything. There is nothing really tangible to fight for other than basic instinct, and that's such a basic and uninteresting reason. This is my personal dislike, and you can't change that by philosophically waxing on about the beauty of said basic instincts, lol.
OUR perspective isn't the thing.
I don't care if you change your opinion or not.
You said you didn't get the point.
I explained it.
well, i think the convo started from the question of like "what is the point in 40k-denizens going on when their life is so shit"
so our perspective is somewhat relevant but the answer is basically "because they don't know how hopeless their lives are, we do though"
and not all of their lives are so hopeless anyway
Also, Wh40k isn't even interested in those basic instincts and 'will to survive' either. Or it does a really poor job of showing it. Either way.
I think you can find beauty in suffering sometimes. I had to read a lot of memoirs and first-hand accounts of disasters for school this recent semester and yeah even though i was reading about these tragic and horrific events there are times were the suffering enters the background and the humans just live in the moment of that suffering
Maybe I just read too much, but it's huge and glaring. I don't like suffering porn myself, but I can still understand and see it.
Is there like no psyker guides pinned at all?
40k isnt suffering porn anyway
There's the Atheneum which is outdated 
there are things out there clearly made for sadists
I think we also must understand that, in general, 40k is a ridiculous setting
and also kinda opinionated
like in terms of its scale
it's more like suffering softcore
I decide to actually get my psyker leveled up and I see no info for it lol
But at least the Atheneum gives some idea of what's important for breakpoints.
It's vanilla suffering
For the casuals
there are some good options, what were you thinking of doing
i prefer it this way
i get psychic damage from hearing about detailed descriptions of suffering
these days
Mmm I’m something centered around smite and telekine shield
I usually tell people to just play assail until they get into their 20s so they can level without issue.
I’m going into psyker with no prior knowledge about the class besides small things
Assail is pretty good low levels because its good without keystone
At least by like 23-25, you have enough points to actually put together a build with functioning parts.
just know, this is going to be a nightmare
a lot of psykers good abilities you dont get until ur higher level
but its worth cuz psyker has some good tricks up their sleeve
I mean vet was pretty fucking atrocious as well lol
Yeah, but this is going to be worse
Because you're more squishy on top of everything else
It'll be fun
dont listen to me
anyway
That, and you kinda need stuff from all over the tree to really put together both your offensive and defensive packages.
You do need a lvl 30 psyker tho
because they are nuts
its worth the wait and pain
And it doesn't help that most of the staves work off density of enemies, and low difficulties don't have that.
Voidstrike just doesn't hit the same when you're popping single shotgunners.
Sure, but not having shout isn't the same as trying to use a 200 stat inferno staff on 3 walkers
One's unfortunate, the other is just sad.
dang thats crazy i dont have a smite bubble build
My issue with smite+bubble is that bubble really wants warp charges, and smite really wants EP (if it's going to be used a lot)
I think shriek smite is best way to go personally for smite
in havoc too
well
maybe not high havoc
And warp charges are hard to get with smite because you aren't actually killing much.
with EP you are
yeah lol
Can you have Warp Charges and EP?
The mechanics of the game that literally block you from taking the talent.
🤬
So lending up smite will be as painful as vet
EP shriek smite is pretty cool
Probably
When i started playing psyker
I went Assail vent EP
And with both EP and shriek, you can actually do -some- work.
That was really fun when I was just starting out
It wasnt great
But I enjoyed it
But yeah, Assail+shriek is kinda the easiest way to get started.
What’s EP
Enhanced Psionics?
Empowered Psionics
Middle keystone
^
that
Ah
That build is really good at giving you an idea how to manage your peril
Basically just makes your blitz stronger. It's actually pretty nice and comfy, but it lacks a bit compared to the other two keystones ime.
Cuz EP will give you bonus damage for 1 shard and make it cost no peril, and if you brain get too hot by accident just press F and problem is solved
i only ever use it on smite personally
And that EP shard is free to cast, and it doesn't count against your 10 shards.
but for you until you get bored with it youll be fine
So you can actually gain shards if you're wiping a shotgunner train inside of a horde.
And it pierces better, giving it better chances of doing that. It's not uncommon to throw like 20+ before running out.
I will never accept EP as long as I can't get stacks on specialist kills with it
give me 4 casts so I can slowly make cubes
How is the blaze force sword?
@ornate hamlet I have no idea how good it is, people here can be the judge of it in case im missing anything, but heres a Assail EP build you can work towards, its what i used but i had to remake it from memory so idk
for weapons you should experiment with the staves and avoid using the guns until youre ready for a gunker build, in case you could care less for them then do whatever you want
Mk 4
this is also my smite build, i use electrokinetic stave for this one
I still have to level up this class lol
yeah i know im just saying so you can reference for later if you want
you say there is no guide i try to help
Hmmm I’ll try to follow this path once I have enough talents
yeah, make whatever think will be good for you. psyker is a lot of fun to play and ireally enjoyed learning them
different type of game
Isn’t telekine shield better for havoc anyway? It’s all I see in high havoc
Minus the smite users who are rare
It absolutely is better unless you have a truly cracked team
Shooters are still a big problem, but most of them are usually on fire or busy running away, but they got nerfed so if ur good then you can just slide around them
but it becomes a crutch outside of high havoc
Deimos. It's good. Single target weapon that has a good amount of defensive utility. The H2 is where most of the damage is; and that H2 to a head can knock a crusher on its butt.
Best single target combo is L1 H2, but heavy spam is easier. If you block cancel, you can L1 spam really quickly.
i think outside of havoc, my smite build is "meta"
like
you will be gaurenteed a win if nothing goes horribly wrong
because everyone is just always CC'd
In Havoc, it really doesn't take many shots to gib you even if you're slide spamming like a pro
Always safer to have bubble
yeah i know, it can be tough, another reason why i dont like havoc
but if you set the shooter on fire or suppress them then they wont shot you
Sure, but that requires you to... y'know, do that
which is why ilike electrokinetic with smite cuz then i can just spam M1 and suppress everythingi nfronto f me
I’m testing it out in practice atm so it’s special is an empowered peril attack
thats all of them
And its push attack is a knockback?
if they're far away or from multiple angles, you're going to have a bad time trying to rely purely on suppression/stagger
if you do another attack after the double push, thats your pushattack
you get 2 pushes with force swords
yeah, but i can think of maybe 2 spots that are like that i nthe game
my personal gripe with bubble is that its not up enough
Since assail maxxing drop BM and either toughness node or solidity to take quick shards and MM.
and i would rather dedicate my keystone to EP for smite rahter than WS for more bubble
Practically every large room qualifies for that
any open area
Smite, Inferno, Trauma, they all have pretty limited range
How does it work exactly? It feels a bit weird lol
Something I’ll have to get used to
It’s push attack feels a bit different
M1 spam electrokinetic?
you have the normal push, and then your push attack is actually an extra-strong single-target push
that thing is nuts at getting orbs out
Is weak in high havoc, also was nerfed
quell cancel ruined
i dont mean that loser shit LOL
i mean the normal person method
where you just press
M1
So can it stagger crushers bulwarks etc. on the stronger push or it doesn’t have enough stagger for them
I mean, you can definitely use it
Deimos special is largely ignored. It locks you in place and most of the damage happens at the end of the animation. It can be useful to build or maintain peril or get multiple stacks of uncanny strike since the special counts as multiple hits.
Also yeah there is a push and a PA (push attack). The PA builds peril if it connects and can knock over an enemy up to 9m away. Not all enemies get knocked over or stagger the same tho.
Why cant you enjoy the game like a normal person
but even if you did, it's only a straight line of suppression. You will get shot in Havoc.
Why do you feel like you need to exploit
stronger push staggers all but bosses, so yes
I don't exploit?
You'll get shot in any of the game modes?
in Havoc
All force swords and FGS (force great swords) have the same PA
we're specifically talking about high Havoc here, or at least I was
I mean the special feels similar to chain swords ngl
Bubble can only help so much, im not saying its not a good option or that shriek is preffered over bubble, just that i would rather take shriek because it allows for a more aggressive playstlye centered around smite and CC
Ye same kind of lock.
i do not play havoc with psyker past 25
sorry you sit in party finder all day LOL

I wish I could have fun with scriers gaze on high havocs 😦 but rangeds are so unforgiving it's more brutal than cod campaigns on veteran
NEW MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS SINGLES ARE OUT WOOOO
ooooh god
havent seen that name in YEARS...........
oooh god he doesnt play the high level content
noooo you have to get 1 shot by some little poxwalker
I mean
Oh no!
YOU HAVE TO PLAY HAVOC 40 OR YOURE NOT PLAYING THE REAL GAAAME
GRAAAH SUFFER WITH MEEEE
is talking about high level content
doesn't play high level content

This is a you issue, actually
High damage tho?
LOL
actual rage bait
theyre kinda slop
ngl that's kinda why i hate havoc
she fell off ngl
void you have missed the point in literally every single conversation tonight
you have to stop smoking nitrous
that's just void
(posts a gif to attempt to improve the chat's morale)
like brother snark away all you want but tone doesn't carry well at all over text
like im sorry i dont enjoy getting 1 tapped sometimes
Yes it is me
I am the dumb one for talking about high Havoc while playing high Havoc
clearly Ty, who doesn't play high Havoc, is smarter on this topic
I bow to their majesty
i dont understand what youre getting at
see this is literally what I'm talking about
cool your jets lad it's just a video game
i am making suggestions based on my experience with the game, my experience with the game isnt havoc 40 because i think its boring and not worth my time, so i opt for the chiller option of maelstrom/lower havocs (25-30)
Pretty chill, honestly
least egotistical havoc 40 player
same kind of person to flame for loadouts in old havoc smh
Yes

You will run what I want or I shoot you for your heresy
I am a commissar (I stole his hat)
Yes but the H2 does slightly more and does it faster, up front, and more safely.
I fucking hate this gif
Which sword has the blessing to block ranged attacks?
both force swords
what if it said wpreg
it's the deflector blessing
any force sword or FGS
deflector
mpreg is a terrible emoji and should be removed
you say that in JUNE of all months?
Couldn't find the emoji, thank you @glacial vapor 
yeah I do
shows how much I use it, lol
90% of the time it's impossible to tell if it's being used as a ridiculous joke or a genuine transphobic insult
it's definitely a joke
unfortunatley I've mostly seen it used as latter
Well, not homophobes, but anti-trans, whatever the term is
transphobes
That makes sense
I haven't seen it be used as a transphobic insult yet. I hope I continue not to see that.
I don't think I've ever seen it used for trans stuff but I'm not always the most aware to these things 
if it's just used as a silly joke here I'm fine with that but since I've seen it used as a latter it always ticks me off alittle
fair
Well I can feel pain already
But it might just bc the teammates I’m getting have no idea what they are doing
Chaff feels like it’s up my ass 24/7
You should really get that seen too
I’ll chalk it up to just unaware teammates atm
hopefully I’m not squishy like this all the time
if you're playing with randoms that is a given like, 85% of the time I'd say
reminds me of how I was also in the "wahh psyker bad because squishy" camp until I learned to look behind me every once in a while
the team can only help me if I help myself, y'dig
Well I’m not making a pre made just for pubs on leveling this class up lol I’ll just suffer through it
it was one of the rare times I genuinely had fun with the process
going through the motions of usual psyker pitfalls and learning not to kiss the floor
So is the mk 4 of blaze force sword the best or is just preference on which mark?
I mean yeah psyker def feels fun but I’m just not used to being so squishy
that is an ominous image
For force swords
mk2 = obscurus
mk4 = deimos
mk5 = illisi
Obscurus and deimos are the better of the three. Both have very strong single target damage. Deimos has more CC and simpler to use while obscurus has horde combos but is combo depended (also doesn't knock things over with its heavies.
Illisi has a different niche, but is underpowered. Itmain thing is hordes but other melees have faster clear times. It is simple to use, can be chains stroked, has better mobility than FGS, and can have deflector. Generally a skip and I only recommend it on EK shriek spam build but is very replaceable.
Fatshark. Please buff illisi. Its heavies don't even pop players our of a Bon. That's really sad.
Until death at home. 
What blessing should I use besides deflector?
Uncanny?
based lmao
For deimos if you're running deflector then yeah uncanny. Uncanny is the anchor blessing.
Perks depend on what you're using it for.
we really just become that what we hate (zealots)
Yeah I’m using demios
Ye but is it for crushers and monsters or do you have a different answer to those. Manic is good for mutie one shots, unyeilding is good for monsters and ogryns (exept crushers), and cara is good for crushers.
I was even out of position so I didn't get the golden toughness. 
For curios would I be using any stamina regen
no
Psyker already has good stam regen.
CDR, toughness, HP, sniper x1, or gunner resist x3
gunner resist becomes less and less important as you get better at positioning and only protects against dreg and scab gunners and reapers
Or you can run it anyway to play stupid intentionally and partially ignore target priority
yeah best stam regen in the game
Never learn a lesson. Honestly me.
I learn from history and still repeat it, I'm nothing like you
Its not stam regen it's stam regen delay. Psyker doesn't recover stam as fast as zealot
So if you want to actually fill the stam bar faster stam regen perk would help. But just take kd and not worry about any stam shenanigans
I don't run regen even tho I slide everywhere and run knife
ye delay
oh oops my bad
I would hate it even if it said nothing
Hey siblings, haven't played psyker in a while, is the big energy sword good now?
FGS? Always has been.
Is tru
just wondering is Kinetic deflect work with Warp unbound?
KD stops converting stam to peril at critical peril (like 97% peril).
So it's not doing doing things with WU
You can't explode from KD.
The one with multi target special attack
Not the big single target damage one
Tho that big single target is satisfying against bosses and elites
Is force greatsword still better?
Oh you meant the last force great sword mark
FGS8
It still has the big upper stab. Just after a PA.
I don't know what your mean.
Force sword marks are
mk2 = obscurus
mk4 = deimos
mk5 = illisi
Obscurus was the first one then deimos and illisi were released after.
I thin you mean illisi
multi target special
I have 3 point left what should I get
FGS is better than illisi. Illisi needs a buff.
agree
If you like it tho, keep using it.
What is the build for and what's the rest of the tree?
It would help to see the complete build 
Hi
Hi
Buff illisi
Buff knife you say
This helps get a screenshot
Buff illisi, buff EK
Hmm 
Voidstrike crying rn
The one that's last in the mark selection order
is anticipation worth using?
I use Warp Unbound for long smite damage (EP) and spamming EK primary on elite
I think I would rather use venting shriek with smite
Yes, but not really
Well, I'd rather not use smite at all... 
If you really want more smite you could pick up empyric resolve, in the bottom left
well in my experience it's better to have it in current havoc with multiple boss
from my testing empyric resolve help extend about 2-3 sec, but help a lot when spamming EK staff
between +5% range damage / Pots (10% rending above 75 peril) / Endurance (+20% tgh reduct on Scrier) / Warp speed (20% speed on Scrier)
fucking hate empyric resolve
How does the telekinetic staff fare? Is is it decent?
Pots would help when WU active
Hey, you know the big upside that Psyker has in the incredible amount of toughness regen it gets? Yeah, let's just absolutely cripple that.
Well, don't take PotS at least 
yeah, and do practically nothing even while fully active
I see
I'm happier with it doing nothing than it killing my toughness regen
hey guys i really wanna use the psyker greatsword i just got back into the game so was curious on what builds i could do with it
The glass cannon being glass? 
It absolutely thrives in DD/SG builds, but probably works on a lot of other things too
It's an excellent generalist weapon
I'm tempting to pick Warp speed, cuz psyker is very slow, but not sure if it really any useful
FGS works well in any build as it is a jack of all trades
what mark usually is used
either/or
and do you guys have any idea on the optimal combos
Everybody has their favourite
Which mk you pick is based on preference
Most of psyker's toughness regen is kill or attack based. If you're doing those then the ER penalty is not very noticeable.
What's a good generalist build for DD/SG
Genuinely, just swing it around and see what makes sense. If you use the 8, you can light spam for trash and heavies or push attack heavy follow-ups
for big dudes
Or quelling, yes, but in all of those cases they all get nerfed by ER right?
this is what im using rn but wanted to see if there is a better tree out there
and ER double-nerfs Quietitude gains
ah yeah i noticed this
since it cuts your peril gain and cuts the toughness you get out of your peril
🚬 how optimal we talking
the poke heavy after the push is crazy damage
coming from zealot crusher
I usually use MK 8, because normal atk speed is a lot faster, but weaker on Heavy attack
i want the most optimal lol HAHAH
oh god.
*gives in to the perils of the warp, as a better alternative to the pain of seeing that *
You generate so much that's it not that noticeable. So generate a shit ton vs a lot.
Well, max optimal combo is mk dependent, obviously, but both do swap cancel shenanigans
Blazing Spirit is a NEVER TAKE on melee weapons, to begin with
it's only for voidblast
on everything else it is absolute garbage, might as well be an empty blessing slot.
l1 l2 swap cancel everything 
spam heavies for single target
dassit
You want +carapace and +unyielding for perks on FGS
yeah im running shred and wrath actually
if you want optimal optimal, yeet an assail when swap canceling
Shred is great
with carapace and unyilding
Optimal mk8 is the push stab iirc
more so looking for an optimized skill tree
yeah but muh 10% peril on push
ahhh interesting

Mk8
hoard : L1 -> L2 -> block cancel -> (repeat)
Elite/boss : Push block attack -> Spam Heavy
Mk 6
hoard : L1 -> L2 -> L3 -> block cancel / H1 -> (repeat)
Elite/boss : Spam Heavy
join the mk6 cult
what a swap cancel
mk6 l3 is hella slow iirc
for max optimality, you cancel on l2 for mk6
I don't think I even notice the penatly anymore, it's something that can be dealt very easily anyway, don't stay out in the open and get hit
ah ive been doing this for mk 8 so that dope
Mk6 is so good with activation swing into heavy stab
also, don't block cancel, that's slow and will be worse than not cancelling
Helps keep peril high for unstable and rider
A type of animation cancel. You shorten or stop an animation to a different one faster. Swap means you cancel with by swaping weapons.
@cloud lichen You can swap out ethereal shards and lingering influence for perfectionism and cruel fortune if you're feeling VERY spicy.
you swap cancel instead
swap cancel my beloved
ahhh makes sense
i will start doing that then instead
just a quick 1 2
Much faster and better than block cancel
Block cancels are often not even worth it
for the elite or single target tdo i just loop the push attack into heavy
or spam heavies after
the stab attack
There is a unique animation on FGS after a swap that is fast.
on mk8, yeah
dope thanks!
though the second heavy would probably finish off anything up to a crusher
Deimos for example does l1 -> h (and more h and more h ad infinitum) because l1 -> h2 -> block cancel is so slow h spam is more dps, lol
watch the peril gen on push though
it's less fussy
of course, you could always l1 -> h2 -> swap cancel but I don't cancel 
just heavy
so i could either go for PA heavy repeat or PA heavy then spam heavy
I don't really consider it safe unless you're fighting single targets
chat
idk i don't use mk8 
wait a min this isnt zealot chat
on FGS8 specifically
the latter is better for big groups of elites, PA is single target and doesn't help much
It is
got it
I honestly just spam the heavy bonks on the fgs8, especially in late scrier's
I skip warp unbound
and that's all for mk8, mk6 you just spam heavies
so getting too spicy with push attacks has killed me a few times
in theory they don't give peril if you miss them though right?
I guess I could push attack the sky
they do
well never mind then
wait they do?
They're also one of the few peril sources that bypass protection
I thought I survived once by accidentally whiffing the push attack lol
it is I swear
with knife and mettle I move just like a zealot
I must have gotten a soulstealer kill with an assail that was still zipping around
you lie piss wizard
so you can kill yourself from a force push even if below 100% peril, as long as the ending value is over 100%
I could never tell a lie
or maybe a blue boi was burning to death at the time
FALL
AUTUMN
Fatalist personality is the corrupt cop that's so me 
Hopefully the Arbites arrests all the Zealots
your power will never work on me
The depressed cop
That's the maul
No, Maul is clearly discount Zealot
wake me up when the arbiter drops i'm burnt outta this game 
FOR THE EMPEROR, I'M SURE...
what do you think about warp speed
There are many lovers of it here
but frankly speaking, it's a comfort node at best
Its biggest issue being that it is tied to an ability and is not active during the lingering effect, so you endure all of SG's cooldown without any benefit
Warp speed feels good but isn't needed. I take it on FGS because of that feel good.
If i use Scrier + WU should I take K-Deflect ? or a waste node
KD is uh
Kinetic Deflection is a god-tier node
very good
and I will broker no argument
oh, so it's not active on lingering effect
easy revives? check
facetank bosses? check
what more could you possibly ask for
(I may be biased)
fun fact, neither is the crit chance
or the tdr
The biggest reason to not take KD is if you get too used it and it fecks you up when playing other classes.
KD good.

but fitness is still active right?
fitness?
lol i mean Finesse
imagine psyker with dumbell
Canonically, psyker has to go to the gym just to wield FGS
Isn't only the up to 30% damage boost active during the lingering effect?
yes, but I use it with EK staff, so very good
i swear i remember the finesse bonuses still being active
precog lingers
Is it precog or both?
....there's no base finesse
I might be getting fecked up on multiple 30% things.
with out precog +30% dmg
with precog +30% finesse
the damage lingers, and precog lingers
idk which is better
only 2 effects that linger
they both linger with precog
the damage buff doesn't go away 
Ok both not just one.
really???? nice
if they made warp speed linger i will literally surrender all my mortal posessions to fs
Repeat 30%s fecking my brain up.
Funnily enough tho, meta for staves (for damage) is usually shriek
SG may have big damage numbers, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't do anything meaningful 
is it good with smite, or just okish because I'm rarely proc it
shh
almost always bad
sg blazing flurry trauma is worth 
Kinda okay on EP assail, but also you (should) have soulstealer so 
Yeah, and my infinite Scrier's EK and big bossing SG Inferno are totally cool and effective
I'd take psychic leeching if I was doing a troll support build. Unlucky for some would be in it. So would a single point into shield to trick other players into thinking that they are safe from specials.
between soulstealer and quietude which one should I pick for smite scrier ep with ek
Both
ideally both

both
The one toughness node up top to not take is Warp Expenditure
cant I dont have point left


Then I recommend you rearrange your tree because something may have gone wrong
(soulstealer tho, probably)
i mean if you have to drop one, soulstealer should be alright to drop
yeh
On an EP build not having enough points for soulstealer and quietude is a choice.

Elite aura 
You could honestly drop mettle and perfect timing if you're going for a smite build
which mod compact skill tree again, I cant remember
smite can't even crit can it
can't crit, yeah
You can crit with other weapons but yeah
Funny that one lightning is a crit machine and the other can't even 
I mostly use perfect timing for EK
I only use Elite aura if no others psyker, normaly 10% cooldown
fair nuff ig
forgot to change
Not really. It provides no meaningful BPs. I am not acknowledging LMB spam.
I don't use seers presence anymore because psykinetic is just better
both
it provides meaningful BPs for EK without perfect timing iirc
but SG doesn't need either
but also, less than perfect timing 
grow some balls, drop WU, and grab crit aura 
if one goes scrier's gaze one would be foolish to use any aura other than prescience
EK build but no perfect timing is 
grow some cahones, drop EP, forgo a keystone

I should update my gameslantern build
wait this isn't vet chat 
so if I drop PT what should I add? SS?
Soulstealer, yeah
or add extra node for prescience
I would swap mettle to battle meditation as well
no
Prescience is the best aura but never worth an extra point
For instance, take a look at the iconless node above KD
tru
it is the same thing 
thing is BM interrupt WU with warp rider
haven't they fixed the BM WU shenanigans?
here, if you ever crave to live dangerously
didn't know there was even an issue
if BM procs after 100% but before WU kicks in it sometimes just pops you
and/or you lose WU and scriers goes into lingering mode
warp unbound is lingering mode
without the protection if the BM jank kicks in
it killed me a few times back in the day
If you're do EK aways, might as well take the crit aura. Now you have all the things. Could do reality anchor.
edit: lmao forgot quietude
Psykinetic aura is must for me
It shouldn't be with Scrier's.
SG is up most of the time
haven't happened in a while
that too
nothing 
most of the time is not enough
I need it all time.
but seriously with PA most of the time after lingering effect end I only have to wait 1-2 sec (on havoc btw)
get a psyker buddy to supply the cdr for you 
if I keep playing with random, even 1 sec still count
like the highest havoc missions I've played in 2.0 is 29 and my only issue were the karnak twins and not waiting for scriers to get off cd
I play h40. No, you do not need psyk aura.
I mean, sure, but it's not even a huge wall or anything. Psykh aura just doesn't offer as much value when you run SG, and the benefit it gives your allies is neat but often overstated.
Though you can stay in perpetual SG with PA.
If the Zealot run Chorus and Orgryn run taunt, you are kind of the damage carry while they spam their abilities. Though, it is not the best strat in some of the modifier.
You can, but it's not much value to do so since you want to abuse the lingering effect anyway
can it really be called abuse though 🤔
Final toll with chaos orgryn wall push... shit out of luck.
Grabbing it and stretching it until it begs for mercy and then wringing it some more to get every single ounce of usefulness out of it
Sounds like abuse to me
You take Scriers Gaze to abuse Warp unbound.
I take it to avoid popping my head.
We are not the same
maybe it likes it
I take Shriek for that


Self mutilation
yknow what psyker needs
a node that lets you cast at 100% peril at the cost of health
Crystalline Will buff 
maybe that way we can finally play martyrdom psyker 
that's valid 
that's just gunker without any of the fun bits
I don't want hp to become a new combat resource, no thanks
instantly reminds me of things like DAO's blood mage which was shit
1 hp lost per bullet
1hp gaming tho
zarona makes a comeback
imagine not only edging your peril but also your health 
Who needs enemies when we have ourselves.
who needs enemies when we have zealots
There's a very good reason Sienna remains the least popular in Vermintide 2
barrels
tru
I've never played vermintide
because she is the connosieur's choice
Psyker, but quelling damage you
ew
is Sienna
skill issue 
so do you just have to melee while waiting for peril to drop
or does she suck at melee
Get gud temps
That or take the HP hit to manually quell
doesn't sound very cash money!
It wasn't.
VT is more melee focused than DT.
yes
Except several classes that can literally headshot their way through the whole game without running out of ammo 
There is a temp HP system that fill up quickly if you're built for it with your weapons and play style. So yeah you take damage from quelling but you also can refill. The problem is when you can't* refill you temp hp.
Jumping from DT to VT makes quelling feel really bad tho
ah yes, the proto-gold toughness
Toughness, except instead of incentivizing switching up your gameplay to regen toughness, you are incentivized to play harder
I don't think I'll ever try vt, not really interested in warhammer fantasy setting
toughness's predecessor
Aw, but Fantasy is way cooler than 40k
ye
i only got into fantasy because of total war ngl
I actually prefer fantasy over sci fi
Its just dt is a better game
same
I prefer sci fi over fantasy
If they make vt3 with dt mechanics carrying over would be very cool
too bad the End Times happened 
Sister of thorns feckin cheats on temp hp tho. So a point against sienna
Wh40k is Science Fantasy
Yes, it is.
Granted, but they only carry over the bugs and server problems
I swear they added beast man archer to VT2 and then went, "Let's make this the game." and then we got DT.
Thats tru
honestly the one thing i have against dt is that their weapon sounds are like really fuckin muffled
Let me clarify, I particularly love the far future, energy weapons, spaceships bits, stuff like that
Fantasy gets a lot of bonus points for curving the usual fantasy trends and actually having guns, but I still prefer 40k
it's the tinnitus
“HOLY JUSTICE!!!!”
I like high """medieval""" fantasy
one thing that always irked me about dnd and dnd fans is the amount of gunpowder haters
vt but AoS when 
Lowkey as a renaissance enjoyer WHFB is goated
Post-medieval era >>>
I want an interesting magic system and the medieval aesthetic. Yes, we can have robots golems and electricity magic
I thought my PC was dying because the entire screen suddenly turned green, but it was just a cable that got loose
sorry was my pet skaven
I don't hate gunpowder, it's just boring
Enemies in this game have bigger heads too so hs would be easier for that 2s cd
Spam it for boss killing xd
Well I think it rocks 😏
Gunpowder is fine before the invention of rifling 
Facts
Tell him to stop
hell yeah gimme big fuckin handgonnes
Not that rifling helped at first anyways
Also yeah pike and shot era was a big thing, military history didn't go from high medieval ages to modern warfare overnight
Give us sack rat equivalent. I want to excitedly froth at the mouth for shinies but actually just die for nothing.
if you don't have to pour the powder manually are you even using guns correctly
these kids and their newfangled technology
Nah nah arquebus is where it’s at
Landsknechtmaxxing
IIRC guns did not truly cement themselves as be all end all until the beginning of 20th century, especially with the first world war when it was recognized that napoleonic era tactics aren't going to fly anymore (at a horrible human cost, and that was just 1914 alone)
To be fair, some countries did catch up real quick
Napoleonic tactics were not used in WW1 dawg 😭
Mini bonbon that swallowed the wrong stuff
yeah no they weren't my b
Nonsense, Napoleon infamously favored M1 Brownings 
Napoleon famously kept a 1911 on him at all times
Napoleon “pass me the MG42” Bonaparte
OMG yes please. Dog sized.
daydrinking? 
gimme gimme
it's friday but still
I want a bonbon chair now
share pls
Yes 
i only got beer and beer
in my defense I do it only like once every several months
Literally a green beanbag chair 
i just want the funny nurgle frogs in game man 😔
just felt like an appropriate day today
Tech priest class when????
With a flap to hide my treasures in
hand us the drink
Or should the next class be 3 ratings standing on each other’s shoulders in a trenchcoat
this is how you look rn
for EK between
primary spam and secondary spam
which one do you think it's better on hv40
Jean Steelers
how do they walk in those
None
Probs M1 spam
Reduced venting speed might gimp the high peril generation on m2
Alternatively
Warp Syphon
There's plenty of Specialists on Havoc
Play your cards right and you get to either shriek or gaze a lot
"As an Arbites player, you’ll arrive on the Mourningstar some time after the events of the Reject prologue"
I knew wed get a new prolog
Can anyone recommend Psyker builds for Havoc?
Build at the start of vid for nice and easy gaming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3b2KvHsHvY
Next thing we know they'd bring back pus hardened skin for even more unfun modifiers... Please FS just remove this anti melee crap. It's so annoying I just go most meta OP build with bubble and call it a day.
Patch 1.7.4
Consignment Yard HL-17-36 · Raid · Damnation · The Encroaching Garden · The Emperor's Fading Light (2) · The Blight Sprea...
ever since they changed DD to keep stacks during boss, ive been going 25 stacks
its so good
ooh looks scary
but I'm helping a friend level his zealot today 🙂
my man just got the perfect stats relic blade from brunt on first try, very lucky
Resist
aight
Quick advice
Every psyker Warp weapon dumps resistance
Except VoidSTRIKE
It dumps Blast Radius
I haven't played in a while, how do you dump stats on a weapon?
dump stats are the stats you take ~60 on so everything else can be 80 or close to it
just rng
You keep rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling
Until you get the dump stat at n**/**60%
I curse fatshark for having so many good voice actors for the Arbites, I don't know which personality to start with 
Might be female Maul for me, Alt Cunnigham and Sebille from Divinity 2
David Boylewie
Turned out that map was too hard took like 5 tries.
With 4 Xd
at least it isn't pox gas
I’m ngl leveling Pysker is on par just as bad if not worse then when I did vet over a year ago
1-2 MAELSTROM LETS GOOOOO
Leveling in this game sucks. But at least you can assail your way to 30 now
makes me think by separating it as "reject prologue" that maybe we'll see some acsension in status as well perhaps
Time to power level each other's Arbites
hey @summer timber where on refinery delta did you say was good for cliffhanger?
yooo
flak crit chance blazing and nexus still the same tbh
do we have a dedicated melee build? I play Zealot a lot, but Psyker has better Aquila Drip
assail, scriers gaze, disrupt destiny is pretty much a catch all build for most things melee/firearms
do we have a skill tree I can copy paste from?
just go down the right side and grab warp rider
^
aight bet
heres my example
the final encounter where you have to interrogate the corrupted vials
the arena is shaped like a plus, on the right and left ends (when you enter) on the bottom floor they pile up from a spawn door on the floor above
ooo tanks
got smite and brainburst versions too if you're feeling evil later
nah m good
i tried to and i god deleted by enemies :(
my dog will offer lexual healing to heretics
god i wish the penance was five enemies instead of seven
damn thats brutal
you got swarmed or they just ignored your push
Gloria Clandestine is probably your next best bet in that beginning section
both
Just gotta hop you dont get pushed off too
ik ascension riser 31 has ledges early on
yah that one too, but there are a lot of specialists that spawn instead of tiny BS enemies and i dont think the horde spawner is until after the ledges at the start
but its def an option if you can lead some enemies over to the ledge
i think next update we're going to be able to choose which missions we can play instead of it being random, so thankfully you wont have to wait on RNG you can just start up a match and try to get it
god i hope
finally the forceblade skin i wanted is back
i hope we get more fgs skins
i tried obscurus time and time again but somehow i stick to deimos
okay let me get this right
Correct
the idea of Scrier's Gaze is, pop it up after spamming Assail to 50%?
then go ham on any melee?
Use it whenever you want
ooo
special spam illisi when
Hey I need to ask, am I being a noob for not picking up grimoire?
That shit is corrupting like half my life as a psyker
And you get literally nothing but a little xp that no one need
pretty sure people avoid picking it up
Man each time there’s grim you can be sure people take them
I just finished a mission, we had both books
That’s my experience and that’s why I ask lol
Depends on diff, on higher diffs people tend to ignore them
what blessings does Force Sword want
someone described it to meas a butcher mode, its less "save you from your peril mismanagement" and more "use this when you wanna do more damage"
ah so just whenever you want to charge in
and doesnt require consuming 50% or anything, thought I needed to -- for the bonuses
you dont get SG stacks based on how much peril you quell by activating it too i think, so its technically better to pop it at 0% to spend as much time as possible to get as many stacks as you can
Uncanny + slaughterer/deflector
yeah, i use it pretty generously throughout missions since you can usually manage the peril stuff by killing everything, just make sure you dont use warp attack when you hit 100%
no, other way around. it's ettiquette to ask before picking up a grim, because grims give dogshit terrible rewards, while being very annoying and can absolutely cause the team to lose
i use warp unbound with SG tho cuz sometimes assail spam is really helpful
i only ever see ppl wanting grims for their contracts or to rush lvl 30
but even then yeah sometimes theyre more trouble than theyre worth
i just ignore contracts at this point tbh
but even when i gave a shit, it's not worth 16 grims or whatever stupid fucking amount they want you to do
i always rerolled it
for new players they can be good for getting better curios, but yeah i dont think ive ever paid attention to my contracts
What’s everyone’s favorite class and why is it psyker highkey
psyker is just the best 😞
I have 400h into the game and I’ve never seen anyone asking before picking a grim😅 I’m the one that ask « but why?? », sometimes they drop it but not always.
awesome bug

On the brightside, you can get a head start on the rest of the heretics
very true
Strike Team, would you mind telling me what you are doing on the other side of that warp barrier
Infiltration tactics, sir
yeah people typically don't ask, and then i have to ask them to drop it
it usually works out
because the guy who picked it up usually dies anyway
funny how these problems have a way of solving themselves
but usually after the team has lost a quarter of their health to grim corruption
A quarter? I spend most of the match on my last wound when someones picked up a grim lol
On psyker obviously
yeah grims can really fuck a team over, esp one that's already struggling
I run two corruption resistance perks on my psyker specifically to avert that lol
i would like some shanges by the blitzes and skill positioning and normal force sword special shanges
because some selfish, unaware doofus decided to read for the first time in his fucking life
get in line, there's other shit that need to be reworked first
w
for example?
literally all of zealot, vet, and their respective weapons
new vet weapon was promised last year too, wasn't it
i would like some new staffs to be honest
don't we all
beam staff or fireball
Too busy with our-bites 
What curious do pyskers want
2 toughness 1 stamina
Psyker has no need for stamina and wounds, so it's up to preference/mix of HP and toughness
