no, it's just what happens when you have TRILLIONS of people

#

and a bajillion random insane shit happening

raven mountain
#

Yes, by objective mathematical understanding, there are other stories that go on in that universe.

blissful solar
#

im not saying it applies to like the majority, i have no idea

summer timber
#

and do you think those trillions of people only exist for a temporary period of significance

raven mountain
#

But the overarching plot of the universe is to live.

summer timber
#

if some 50 year old dies in a meaningless war is his story or life any more insignificant than some 20 yr old?

raven mountain
#

And we have fun engaging in their little warfare.

blissful solar
#

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

summer timber
#

everyones story is as important as the next

raven mountain
#

And yeah, that's a great perspective for someone outside of their context.

blissful solar
#

i mean if they want to believe they should go on

raven mountain
#

And I'm sure some of them choose that.

blissful solar
#

then i dont even disagree

#

they have hope

raven mountain
#

You're also talking philosophically.

blissful solar
#

they dont know

#

in this hypothetical we KNOW they will die hopelessly

raven mountain
#

WE know.

blissful solar
#

yeah they dont*

nocturne dust
#

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.

raven mountain
#

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.

blissful solar
#

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

nocturne dust
#

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.

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.

nocturne dust
ornate hamlet
#

Is there like no psyker guides pinned at all?staregryn

blissful solar
#

40k isnt suffering porn anyway

nocturne dust
blissful solar
#

there are things out there clearly made for sadists

summer timber
#

I think we also must understand that, in general, 40k is a ridiculous setting

nocturne dust
#

and also kinda opinionated

summer timber
#

like in terms of its scale

blissful solar
#

it's more like suffering softcore

ornate hamlet
raven mountain
#

But at least the Atheneum gives some idea of what's important for breakpoints.

nocturne dust
#

For the casuals

summer timber
blissful solar
#

i prefer it this way

#

i get psychic damage from hearing about detailed descriptions of suffering

#

these days

summer timber
#

like judging from what youve seen from other psykers

#

how do you wanna play

ornate hamlet
raven mountain
#

I usually tell people to just play assail until they get into their 20s so they can level without issue.

ornate hamlet
#

I’m going into psyker with no prior knowledge about the class besides small things

summer timber
#

Assail is pretty good low levels because its good without keystone

raven mountain
#

At least by like 23-25, you have enough points to actually put together a build with functioning parts.

summer timber
#

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

ornate hamlet
summer timber
#

Because you're more squishy on top of everything else

#

It'll be fun

#

dont listen to me

#

anyway

raven mountain
#

That, and you kinda need stuff from all over the tree to really put together both your offensive and defensive packages.

summer timber
#

You do need a lvl 30 psyker tho

#

because they are nuts

#

its worth the wait and pain

raven mountain
#

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.

summer timber
#

thats generally the case with a lot of stuff

#

vets CDR skill specifically

raven mountain
#

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.

summer timber
raven mountain
#

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)

summer timber
#

I think shriek smite is best way to go personally for smite

#

in havoc too

#

well

#

maybe not high havoc

raven mountain
#

And warp charges are hard to get with smite because you aren't actually killing much.

raven mountain
#

and you can't use the In Fire Reborn shortcut.

#

Think about what I just said. xD

summer timber
#

yeah lol

raven mountain
#

Can you have Warp Charges and EP?

summer timber
#

who says you cant

#

lets try

raven mountain
#

The mechanics of the game that literally block you from taking the talent.

summer timber
#

🤬

ornate hamlet
#

So lending up smite will be as painful as vet

raven mountain
#

EP shriek smite is pretty cool

summer timber
#

When i started playing psyker

#

I went Assail vent EP

raven mountain
#

And with both EP and shriek, you can actually do -some- work.

summer timber
#

That was really fun when I was just starting out

#

It wasnt great

#

But I enjoyed it

raven mountain
#

But yeah, Assail+shriek is kinda the easiest way to get started.

ornate hamlet
#

What’s EP

raven mountain
#

Enhanced Psionics?

summer timber
#

Empowered Psionics

raven mountain
#

Middle keystone

summer timber
#

^

raven mountain
#

that

ornate hamlet
#

Ah

summer timber
#

That build is really good at giving you an idea how to manage your peril

raven mountain
#

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.

summer timber
#

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

raven mountain
#

And that EP shard is free to cast, and it doesn't count against your 10 shards.

summer timber
#

but for you until you get bored with it youll be fine

raven mountain
#

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.

nocturne dust
#

I will never accept EP as long as I can't get stacks on specialist kills with it

strong gulch
#

EP on specials and make wall tall enough for ogryn

#

also better...

nocturne dust
#

Wall shoulder be taller

#

to block grenades

#

and account for height differences

strong gulch
#

give me 4 casts so I can slowly make cubes

ornate hamlet
#

How is the blaze force sword?

strong gulch
#

which one?

#

there's 3

summer timber
#

@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

ornate hamlet
summer timber
#

this is also my smite build, i use electrokinetic stave for this one

ornate hamlet
#

I still have to level up this class lol

summer timber
#

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

ornate hamlet
summer timber
#

different type of game

ornate hamlet
#

Isn’t telekine shield better for havoc anyway? It’s all I see in high havoc

#

Minus the smite users who are rare

summer timber
#

Depends, not so much anymore

#

IMO

nocturne dust
#

It absolutely is better unless you have a truly cracked team

summer timber
#

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

nocturne dust
#

but it becomes a crutch outside of high havoc

strong gulch
# ornate hamlet Mk 4

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.

summer timber
#

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

nocturne dust
#

Always safer to have bubble

summer timber
#

but if you set the shooter on fire or suppress them then they wont shot you

nocturne dust
#

Sure, but that requires you to... y'know, do that

summer timber
#

which is why ilike electrokinetic with smite cuz then i can just spam M1 and suppress everythingi nfronto f me

ornate hamlet
#

I’m testing it out in practice atm so it’s special is an empowered peril attack

ornate hamlet
#

And its push attack is a knockback?

nocturne dust
#

if they're far away or from multiple angles, you're going to have a bad time trying to rely purely on suppression/stagger

summer timber
#

you get 2 pushes with force swords

summer timber
#

my personal gripe with bubble is that its not up enough

strong gulch
summer timber
#

and i would rather dedicate my keystone to EP for smite rahter than WS for more bubble

nocturne dust
#

Practically every large room qualifies for that

#

any open area

#

Smite, Inferno, Trauma, they all have pretty limited range

ornate hamlet
#

Something I’ll have to get used to

#

It’s push attack feels a bit different

summer timber
nocturne dust
summer timber

#

M1

nocturne dust
#

That's not that impressive even in Auric, honestly

#

so uh

ornate hamlet
nocturne dust
#

I mean, you can definitely use it

summer timber
#

I didnt say it was impressive

#

I'm just saying its stupid

strong gulch
# ornate hamlet I’m testing it out in practice atm so it’s special is an empowered peril attack

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.

summer timber
#

Why cant you enjoy the game like a normal person

nocturne dust
#

but even if you did, it's only a straight line of suppression. You will get shot in Havoc.

summer timber
#

Why do you feel like you need to exploit

nocturne dust

summer timber

#

All force swords and FGS (force great swords) have the same PA

nocturne dust
#

we're specifically talking about high Havoc here, or at least I was

ornate hamlet
summer timber
#

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

Yup

#

blissful solar
#

that is an ominous image

strong gulch
# ornate hamlet So is the mk 4 of blaze force sword the best or is just preference on which mark...

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.

ornate hamlet
#

Uncanny?

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.

strong gulch
ornate hamlet
#

For curios would I be using any stamina regen

strong gulch
#

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

patent jacinth
#

Or you can run it anyway to play stupid intentionally and partially ignore target priority

wraith sphinx
#

yeah best stam regen in the game

strong gulch
#

Never learn a lesson. Honestly me.

patent jacinth
#

And run Stam regen

#

I like sprinting and push attack weapons

wraith sphinx
#

I learn from history and still repeat it, I'm nothing like you

plucky flax
#

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

illisi?

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

#

It still has the big upper stab. Just after a PA.

minor trout

No I meant the last force sword mark

The short one

strong gulch
#

I don't know what your mean.

Force sword marks are
mk2 = obscurus

Obscurus was the first one then deimos and illisi were released after.

# cloud lichen what a swap cancel

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

instead of right click

yeah block cancels do feel slow

Block cancels are often not even worth it

or spam heavies after

There is a unique animation on FGS after a swap that is fast.

torn kernel

though the second heavy would probably finish off anything up to a crusher

nocturne dust

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

of course, you could always l1 -> h2 -> swap cancel but I don't cancel chadgryn

a much safer option for mk8 would prolly be PA -> heavy -> PA etc

#

just bonk em and they can't do anything

rigid sky
#

I honestly just spam the heavy bonks on the fgs8, especially in late scrier's

#

I skip warp unbound

nocturne dust
#

and that's all for mk8, mk6 you just spam heavies

rigid sky
#

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?

nocturne dust
#

Why push when you can attack

rigid sky
#

I guess I could push attack the sky

rigid sky
#

well never mind then

torn kernel
#

wait they do?

nocturne dust
#

They're also one of the few peril sources that bypass protection

rigid sky
#

I thought I survived once by accidentally whiffing the push attack lol

wraith sphinx
#

with knife and mettle I move just like a zealot

rigid sky
#

I must have gotten a soulstealer kill with an assail that was still zipping around

paper dust
#

you lie piss wizard

nocturne dust
#

so you can kill yourself from a force push even if below 100% peril, as long as the ending value is over 100%

wraith sphinx
#

I could never tell a lie

rigid sky
#

or maybe a blue boi was burning to death at the time

you cant make me yeld upon psychic assault

#

what do you think about warp speed

nocturne dust
#

There are many lovers of it here

#

but frankly speaking, it's a comfort node at best

torn kernel
#

non negotiable

#

warp speed is pog

nocturne dust
#

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

strong gulch
#

Warp speed feels good but isn't needed. I take it on FGS because of that feel good.

leaden mulch
#

If i use Scrier + WU should I take K-Deflect ? or a waste node

torn kernel
#

KD is uh

nocturne dust
#

Kinetic Deflection is a god-tier node

torn kernel
#

very good

nocturne dust
#

and I will broker no argument

leaden mulch

#

easy revives? check
facetank bosses? check
what more could you possibly ask for

nocturne dust
#

(I may be biased)

nocturne dust
#

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.

FITNESS KEKW_ogryn

but yea the finesse bonuses are

nocturne dust

lol i mean Finesse

nocturne dust
leaden mulch
#

imagine psyker with dumbell

nocturne dust
#

Canonically, psyker has to go to the gym just to wield FGS

leaden mulch
strong gulch
#

Isn't only the up to 30% damage boost active during the lingering effect?

leaden mulch
#

yes, but I use it with EK staff, so very good

torn kernel
#

i swear i remember the finesse bonuses still being active

strong gulch
nocturne dust
#

....there's no base finesse

strong gulch
#

I might be getting fecked up on multiple 30% things.

leaden mulch
#

with out precog +30% dmg
with precog +30% finesse

nocturne dust
#

the damage lingers, and precog lingers

leaden mulch

idk which is better

only 2 effects that linger

#

the damage buff doesn't go away KEKW_ogryn

strong gulch

really???? nice

torn kernel
#

if they made warp speed linger i will literally surrender all my mortal posessions to fs

strong gulch
#

Repeat 30%s fecking my brain up.

nocturne dust
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

leaden mulch
#

is it good with smite, or just okish because I'm rarely proc it

torn kernel
#

shh

nocturne dust
torn kernel
nocturne dust
#

Kinda okay on EP assail, but also you (should) have soulstealer so KEKW_ogryn

nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

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.

leaden mulch
#

between soulstealer and quietude which one should I pick for smite scrier ep with ek

torn kernel
#

ideally both

nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

both

nocturne dust
#

The one toughness node up top to not take is Warp Expenditure

leaden mulch
#

cant I dont have point left

nocturne dust
torn kernel
nocturne dust
#

Then I recommend you rearrange your tree because something may have gone wrong

#

(soulstealer tho, probably)

torn kernel
#

i mean if you have to drop one, soulstealer should be alright to drop

nocturne dust
#

yeh

strong gulch
#

On an EP build not having enough points for soulstealer and quietude is a choice.

leaden mulch
#

anything I should remove or add?

nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

Elite aura Guarded

nocturne dust
#

You could honestly drop mettle and perfect timing if you're going for a smite build

leaden mulch
#

which mod compact skill tree again, I cant remember

torn kernel
#

smite can't even crit can it

nocturne dust
#

can't crit, yeah

strong gulch
#

You can crit with other weapons but yeah

nocturne dust
#

Funny that one lightning is a crit machine and the other can't even KEKW_ogryn

torn kernel
#

EK's breakpoints are so weird without crits tho

#

i hate it

leaden mulch
#

I mostly use perfect timing for EK

wraith sphinx
#

elite aura is fine if you're completely forgoing crits

#

emphasis on completely

leaden mulch
#

I only use Elite aura if no others psyker, normaly 10% cooldown

torn kernel
#

fair nuff ig

leaden mulch
#

forgot to change

strong gulch
#

Not really. It provides no meaningful BPs. I am not acknowledging LMB spam.

wraith sphinx
#

I don't use seers presence anymore because psykinetic is just better

strong gulch
#

both

nocturne dust
strong gulch
#

but SG doesn't need either

nocturne dust
#

but also, less than perfect timing KEKW_ogryn

torn kernel
#

grow some balls, drop WU, and grab crit aura chadgryn

wraith sphinx
#

if one goes scrier's gaze one would be foolish to use any aura other than prescience

strong gulch
#

EK build but no perfect timing is Guarded

nocturne dust
wraith sphinx
#

I should update my gameslantern build

torn kernel
leaden mulch
#

so if I drop PT what should I add? SS?

nocturne dust
#

Soulstealer, yeah

leaden mulch
#

or add extra node for prescience

nocturne dust
#

I would swap mettle to battle meditation as well

nocturne dust
torn kernel
#

prescience for funny critmaxxing

nocturne dust
#

Prescience is the best aura but never worth an extra point

#

For instance, take a look at the iconless node above KD

torn kernel
#

tru

nocturne dust
#

it is the same thing KEKW_ogryn

leaden mulch
#

thing is BM interrupt WU with warp rider

torn kernel
#

haven't they fixed the BM WU shenanigans?

wraith sphinx
#

here, if you ever crave to live dangerously

nocturne dust
torn kernel
#

if BM procs after 100% but before WU kicks in it sometimes just pops you

wraith sphinx
#

(that is a joke btw)

#

(I have more toughness than health KEKW_ogryn )

torn kernel
#

and/or you lose WU and scriers goes into lingering mode

leaden mulch
#

NEVER!!!!

#

lol

nocturne dust
torn kernel
#

without the protection if the BM jank kicks in

#

it killed me a few times back in the day

strong gulch
#

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

nocturne dust
#

Dunno if it's still an issue

#

but I don't think it is

leaden mulch

Psykinetic aura is must for me

nocturne dust

SG is up most of the time

torn kernel
wraith sphinx
#

check my build

my scriers gaze has 19 seconds cooldown

that's nothing

torn kernel

effectively 9 seconds if you wanna count the linger

so like

wraith sphinx

that too

torn kernel
#

nothing KEKW_ogryn

wraith sphinx
#

downtime? what downtime?

#

bubble shield club is two blocks down buddy

torn kernel
#

that is cursed but i love it

#

i gotta try that out whenever i start playing again

leaden mulch
#

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)

wraith sphinx
#

are you sure you can't wait 9 seconds?

#

even on havoc?

torn kernel
#

get a psyker buddy to supply the cdr for you KEKW_ogryn

leaden mulch
#

if I keep playing with random, even 1 sec still count

wraith sphinx

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

nocturne dust
wispy bay
#

Depend on people and their team

#

For SG, it is less needed.

nocturne dust
#

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.

wispy bay
#

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.

nocturne dust
#

You can, but it's not much value to do so since you want to abuse the lingering effect anyway

wraith sphinx
#

can it really be called abuse though 🤔

wispy bay
#

Final toll with chaos orgryn wall push... shit out of luck.

Except several classes that can literally headshot their way through the whole game without running out of ammo KEKW_ogryn

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.

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
