psyker-class

[brazen rampart]

Yeah, but go play without soulstealer, see how quickly you get folded like a lawn chair.

[wraith sphinx]

Why not? Those will let him get far more mileage out of scriers gaze

[brazen rampart]

Because you're either generating a bunch of toughness by

using assail
oneshotting everything in melee
getting an unholy amount of crits

Scriers gives you a bunch of killing power, you don't need any extra toughness gen from generating/quelling peril.

[wraith sphinx]

but I'm talking about keeping SG going for longer, specifically

[brazen rampart]

Oh I was meaning the toughness quell/gen ones.

Crack of bone and tranq through slaughter are very good.

Crack of bone is actually a little too good.

[wraith sphinx]

yeah it did get buffed did it not

but I'm unsure when did that happen, I've only been around since the unlocked&loaded update

[marble crater]

It was after that, you just didn't pay attention

[wraith sphinx]

I didn't start using crack of bone until relatively recently

I was a venting shriek gunker when I was still leveling the class

[marble crater]

Ew

I missed the trailer before going to bed, looks nice

[vernal temple]

I see what they did there. In both instances the dog appears on screen it is mauling the Mauler

[plucky flax]

$19 for deluxe arbites with robo doggo skin

Kinda pricy but I'd get it for sick dog drip

[deft stump]

Way too ex after conversion.

Legit more ex than Deltarune, lmao.

[plucky flax]

For you

Just get normal version then

[deft stump]

Don't have the budget for that either. I'm already pondering over 2 $4 games rn.

Well, if I converted that right into USD.

Is like $6-7 here.

[plucky flax]

Feels broke man

[deft stump]

One I can't even link since well... Questionable.

[marble crater]

Buy fewer yuri gooner games

[blissful solar]

woah woah woah

let's not go crazy

how is one expected to live without yuri gooner games

[deft stump]

Rejected, waifus gud.

[deft stump]

The joke is, they aren't technically that sort... But IDK how strict the mods will be on things like boobas.

[marble crater]

"Technically"

[blissful solar]

artful gooning

[deft stump]

It's a roguelike ARPG with girls with Senran Kagura lvls of tiddies and are nuns.

[plucky flax]

Stellar blade gooning simulator soon

[deft stump]

No budget.

Tell me if no PS account and sub $10.

[blissful solar]

didn't they say something about it not needing a ps account

[deft stump]

Yes, but I don't think it's sub $10 SGD.

[blissful solar]

true......

[deft stump]

It's likely $90.

[marble crater]

You say that like I am supposed to know what "Senran Kagura" means

[deft stump]

If it's priced like HZD sequel on release.

[deft stump]

Mostly big tiddy ninja girls.

[blissful solar]

p sure the price is on steam

[deft stump]

One being totally NOT a Jojo char.

$110.

[deft stump]

$110, just checked. Is $109.90.

[pine shore]

It's good?

[blissful solar]

personally I wish Eve had multiple body styles. maybe for stellar blade 2

[pine shore]

I remember it being almost mid

Do you remember what changed exactly?

[brazen rampart]

Crack of bone alone allows you to get to 30 stacks of scriers if you just mindlessly swing into chaff.

It's nuts how easy it is to play scriers now.

[marble crater]

They increased the values

[pine shore]

scriers already was one of the best if not the best non havoc build

And then they buffed scriers

[marble crater]

You quell double the amount now, was the change I think

[nocturne dust]

with yaoi ones

[pine shore]

But I don't remember anything about crack

okay, it used to be 5%

[nocturne dust]

Did they?

[pine shore]

Didn't notice it's 10% now

[nocturne dust]

[nocturne dust]

I don't remember that

[pine shore]

They at least doubled it

It was 5%

[nocturne dust]

Must've been shortly after they released the nodes

[marble crater]

Yeah the crack buff was a while ago

[pine shore]

Okay, I replaced warp expenditure -> soul stealer and endurance -> crack of bone

[nocturne dust]

also the Arbites gameplay reveal has 11 seconds of gameplay in a 30 second video

[pine shore]

Anything else?

[pine shore]

that's more than silksong gets in 4 years

[summer prairie]

the crack of bone buff was in Nightmares & Visions

[marble crater]

Did you not enjoy the trailer during Summer Game Fest?

[pine shore]

If I want resistance against tox bombers

What perk do I need for my curio?

[nocturne dust]

Oh right, all the gunker buffs

[pine shore]

Corruption resistance or bomber resistance?

[marble crater]

Corruption res

[deft stump]

Corruption from memory unless they fixed it. It used to only work on the bomber kicks.

[nocturne dust]

a revolver

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-team-fortress2-tf2engineer-use-a-gun-and-if-that-dont-work-gif-17911768

[marble crater]

Corruption will also work for everything and not just bombers

[deft stump]

It might still do... But IDK. I mostly don't run either.

And corruption resist is only for Havoc memes.

[nocturne dust]

Corruption is better, yeah

but also, I don't know any experienced player that seriously runs corruption

sooooo take that as you will

[marble crater]

I did in havoc for the goop on the ground

And this fgs is fine, right?

[nocturne dust]

no

[pine shore]

I spent like 500k on 60% defence

I know

[deft stump]

WDYM? It's tryhard for me.

[nocturne dust]

I'm joking slightly, but the optimal is 60% warp res and +unyielding/+carapace

FGS doesn't need +flak

it kills flak enemies regardless

[pine shore]

warp res dump?

[nocturne dust]

yes

[pine shore]

Maybe I still have that from rolling

Actually goated fgs

https://i.vgy.me/ijibuy.png

[nocturne dust]

Not like you'll be generating tons of peril on FGS, so yeah, is dump

[pine shore]

Couldn't ask for better stats

[nocturne dust]

Now you just gotta shove a bunch of resources into it

[deft stump]

WDYM, I block DH and such

[nocturne dust]

[pine shore]

Oh no, I hope my 200000 plasteel and 2 million dockets are enough

[nocturne dust]

and do you generate tons of peril blocking DH

There is a correct answer to this yes or no question

[deft stump]

Uhh, no. Because I have every single -peril gen on the left side because funni.

[pine shore]

And is shred fine? I've seen running precog over shred

for mk6

[nocturne dust]

Precog is not great

People like it because big funny damage memes

[nocturne dust]

Exactly.

[pine shore]

It is done

[nocturne dust]

The normal blessings for FGS are wrath, shred, riposte

[pine shore]

I prefer shred

Not a fan of riposte

[nocturne dust]

but it's fine as long as you don't take Blazing Spirit/Warp Slice

I already asked zealot chat, now I want your opinion. What are your predictions, how do you think arbites chat will look like?

[upbeat kestrel]

Total chaos

And slow mode

[nocturne dust]

I presume it will be a lot like general chat until Arbites finds its footing in terms of regulars

[upbeat kestrel]

With no pictures

[deft stump]

To avoid police brutality stuff.

[nocturne dust]

Arbites mains will share pictures of their dogs all day

[pine shore]

What stereotype will arbites get

[upbeat kestrel]

Stiff meta slaves

[pine shore]

Zealot said it will be full of larpers and dog pics

[nocturne dust]

I say a mix between Vet and Zealot chats. Lots of "I am the Lex" memeing and such, but also actual in-depth number discussions

[blissful solar]

arbites will be captured by brave zealot chat soldiers

[pine shore]

Also, do you ever use fgs 6 heavy sweep attack?

Or simply spam lights

[marble crater]

I just spam lights, I can't be bothered. Heavies are for elites

[pine shore]

No, I mean the heavy sweep

Not overhead or stab

Do you just ignore this attack?

[nocturne dust]

*worst

[marble crater]

Yes

[nocturne dust]

Optimal mk6 horde clear is two lights, then swap cancel

Without cancel, using the push into the perfect horizontal into the heavy

iirc

[pine shore]

yes, it works

[pine shore]

Or I could just combine both

Do two lights, perfect horizontal light, heavy, repeat

[nocturne dust]

You could.

Not sure why you would tho

[pine shore]

This seems the most straight forward

no pushes, no swap cancels

[nocturne dust]

well, actually you still have to push

you can't access the horizontal light without pushing

[pine shore]

But isn't that horizontal light literally just l3?

[nocturne dust]

no

l3 is different

l3 is diagonal, push light is horizontal

[pine shore]

holy shit

new fgs attack unlocked

[nocturne dust]

hey wait

This image doesn't show that mk8 also has access to the horizontal push light

https://tenor.com/view/sad-fade-fade-away-disappear-evaporate-gif-16638726229780416323

[marble crater]

I think it was added later, after the pictures were already made?

[nocturne dust]

was it? I don't remember

[marble crater]

I remember they changed something about FGS attacks, not sure if it was that though

[late sapphire]

Its l1

[late sapphire]

They tweaked timings iirc

[marble crater]

I thought they also changed an attack, or maybe it was another weapon

Man i love people

tell a guy not to shoot a poxburster, they go on a rant calling you the rword 15 times because they're butthurt and stupid

[cold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-robot-pms-gif-10536288

[winged trail]

guess the class

[fiery stratus]

there was definitely shooting involved, thats a clue

[marble crater]

a zealot that can shoot?

[fiery stratus]

lol it was a brainless vet who doesn't know how to spell melee weapon

[winged trail]

his ability clearly makes him shoot better why would he use a melee weapon when he shoots gooder

[fiery stratus]

thats true

i went to his profile and he has 120 hours, so you know hes just been shooting poxbursters on his teammates every 3 games for 120 hours

[winged trail]

i see some people with worryingly high levels for how poorly they play

[fiery stratus]

people get to comfortable, too used to doing the same thing over and over

people also go far too long and don't even learn fundamentals in this game sometimes

doesn't help that a lot isn't well explained

[winged trail]

yeah some things i can excuse because there are so many poorly explained things in this game

some people do just be unloading into daemonhosts when i ping it though

[fiery stratus]

at the same time you're gonna learn some things. Theres 0% chance that guy hasn't been told not to do that in 120 hours

Yeah, people normally make the DH mistake once or twice then learn lmao

Normally

[molten saddle]

I cant see it

[fiery stratus]

@molten saddle

[winged trail]

sometimes ill be on a lower level mission and watch a fresh vet unload into a daemonhead and wonder "these mfs never play l4d???" then remember l4d is like ancient now and not many games have witch-type enemies

[fiery stratus]

[molten saddle]

Does that build work with both staffs?

[fiery stratus]

@molten saddle

Thats all of the staff builds

links to each

[marble crater]

I remember my first DH encounter, someone pinged it and naturally I shot at it, never played l4d before either.
Then I died to the DH and the others just laughed and said something like "now you learned not to do that again"

[fiery stratus]

i've definitely done it probably very early on but I can't remember it

ive shot it enough times accidently to know not to lmao

[nocturne dust]

Guess I need to get a colorblind test

[winged trail]

my biggest DH learning moment was getting into a brawl with a chaos spawn near one on ogryn and taunting and thats when i learned taunt aggros DHs

[fiery stratus]

lmao

does it still?

I never used taunt, if thats the case it really should maybe be like voice of command

[winged trail]

unless i fucked it up and brushed up against her on accident, im pretty sure it does
not exactly jumping at the opportunity to test it again though

[fiery stratus]

You're probably right, if thats true though they should change it how VoC is. VoC will only aggro in front of you, so as long you shout away from it, it won't aggro.

[late sapphire]

I honestly miss the old DHs

[fiery stratus]

Make it kill 3 people

[late sapphire]

Now if there isn't enough dps/confidence to go around people just watch as the poor sod who aggroed it dies

Back in the day we were shitting our pants and frantically trying to get it dead and it was great

[fiery stratus]

Its a double edge sword though, because it also penalizes people at the earlier stage if they didn't aggro it.

[marble crater]

That's not my experience, whenever stupid soulblaze somehow triggers it people will kill it or at least try, while I block with KD

[fiery stratus]

Forces your team to work together sure, but noobs don't have to coordination for that normally

[late sapphire]

Yeah when you can block it with kd sure

[fiery stratus]

I usually try to kill it if the person who aggroed it actually has a chance. If they can't block and they're not able to dodge a little bit, you're not getting it down in time.

[winged trail]

i had no idea they used to not disappear after killing their aggrod person lmao that sounds brutal

[marble crater]

They killed two people

[molten saddle]

Do purge staff not use bubble anymore?

[fiery stratus]

You can, but those are the meta builds, so they've been optimized for damage. You can still run bubble, but you don't have the shriek. The shriek is incredibly busted with soulblaze, because you can just continuously dump soulblaze stacks on enemies, which is just an insane amount of damage over time. You can take bubble but i'm not quite sure what the best thing for the tree would be, I normally use stave builds from others.

[summer prairie]

[final moon]

Question Psyker mains, why the inferno staff?

[upper sun]

lots of damage

[final moon]

Better than chain lightning?

[upper sun]

smite?

yes

[final moon]

I’m asking on my friend’s behalf, he wants to know why people run inferno staff over chain lightning

[upper sun]

because it kills stuff smite just stuns everything and relies on the team to kill stuff

its more active

you dont just sit around smiting you can move around put stuff on fire then attack with a sword to get buffs to make the burn stacks do more damage

[final moon]

Thank you Wizard mains

[brazen compass]

Yeah, the same effort that goes into smiting, you can just kill everything with the flame staff pretty much

[upper sun]

also smite disables a lot of zealot buffs and makes the game less fun for the team

[rigid sky]

And then you take a long range blitz just so you aren't totally helpless on your own against gunners and snipers

[upper sun]

(and can cause sutter for some people)

[final moon]

I have been informed

Thank you

[brazen compass]

B-B-B-BUT Smite EP is gOoD because dAmAgE!!!!!!!!

[final moon]

I don’t play Psyker but now I have an understanding

[final moon]

Oh so that’s why

The more you know 🗿

[upper sun]

yeah zealots need to dodge things to regen toughness

if everything is stunned you cant regen toughness

[final moon]

I’m learning

Even tho I don’t play em.

[dusty wagon]

If you're asking about two of the staves it largely depends in his build. Electrokinetic is good if you have a high crit chance because it will insta-kill, but can only hit two enemies at a time. Purgatus is damage over time but has a slower peril build-up and has talent nodes that work with it.

[upper sun]

Purgatus or purge is the old name for firestaff btw

they renamed them and we still cant get over it

[final moon]

Ohh

[dusty wagon]

Important to note that both ignore armor.

Direct health damage if I'm not mistaken

[brazen compass]

Also there is a difference between the electric staff and Smite, both are lightning but both are two different things entirely

One is actually useful

[final moon]

What’s optimal build for smite? since I don’t think I can convince him.

[brazen compass]

If he's dead-set on Smite, tell him to use the flame staff; Same gameplay but he'll actually be doing killing lol

[final moon]

Cause he still think smite is better :p

[dusty wagon]

If he can build crit chance that will apply to smite it can one-hit. But only "if".

[brazen compass]

Poor lad, he'll learn

[rigid sky]

Noooooo, inferno is actually terrible vs Carapace bodies

[upper sun]

no

if you use smite dont usre fire stick because you wont have any tools for snipers

[final moon]

Everything has a downside, caraplace ain’t a biggie

[rigid sky]

It's actually more like, most staves (except Voidstrike) have their main attack target the base armour rather than any given body part

[dusty wagon]

Is that because of their armor, or a health damage resistance?

[rigid sky]

Yeah, but you have to take it into account

[rigid sky]

Armour itself. And it's only Crushers really

Even scab ragers count as flak

Only Crushers count as Carapace for Inferno

[dusty wagon]

If you run BR with the on-hit chance Crushers are easy as.

[rigid sky]

The upshot is that +Flak is essential on all staves besides Voidstrike tbh

And probably also on Voidstrike but for other reasons

[final moon]

I have invited my friend to this server

[brazen compass]

That's what I'm saying; Use the flame staff instead of Smite

[rigid sky]

Only use of Smite for me is stalling with EK staff for long enough to hit a juicy Shriek

But I'm decidedly not into EK staff atm

[upper sun]

mb i cant read

[rigid sky]

Maybe I need to try it with FGS

[upper sun]

welcome!

[brazen compass]

All good lol

[twin turret]

Yo, so my build is lowered peril to the absolute max, fully maxed out so i do 200% more dmg with smite along with increasing whole team dmg to any enemy hit with smite by 10%, also reducing peril by however i kill, for horde clearing on heresy it kills quickish, and peril takes a while to build up

[final moon]

Welcome to the wizard gang

[brazen compass]

Welcome

[twin turret]

And peril reduction from 100% to 0 takes 2 seconds so going again for a full chain is easy

[pine shore]

oh no

prepare to be immedeately hated

[twin turret]

I can imagine

[final moon]

I already told him he was getting roasted so it’s fine 🗿

[twin turret]

I just dont get it, more dmg, bigger radius, easier to obtain and no waste of materials to upgrade

[pine shore]

Boring ahhh afk smyker build

[summer prairie]

purg/inferno does more damage but it's only relevant in harder content where there's higher density and hp

[deft stump]

At least book has a CD.

[twin turret]

So basically inferno is only good on max difficulty

[brazen compass]

So, the argument over whether to use Smite or not is all about the results in practice. Smite can be helpful, but usually, and especially in higher difficulties, you don't want enemies locked in place as much as you want them gone. With a similar build but spec'd into, say, the Purgatus Staff, with a similar gameplay style, you can just remove enemies instead. This is also assuming that you have your team to clean up anything that you're smiting. This is also assuming the scenario is on a higher difficulty with bigger horde density, like hi-intensity damnations or Havoc.

[twin turret]

Assuming the staff is maxed

[brazen compass]

(I don't even like the Purg staff )

[deft stump]

Guy doesn't want to upgrade weapons or finds no point in wasting mats for it though.

[twin turret]

So, what im hearing, for players with heaps of mats to spare, and on the highest difficulty alone, inferno is better then smite

And even in terms of density smites range and speed is far quicker then inferno

[brazen compass]

What you're hearing is it's better to properly invest in your gear instead of relying on what's essentially a niche

[glacial vapor]

You just need to get flame staff to transcendent rarity, to get your blessings. Empowering isn't that much of a bump

[brazen compass]

If you're enjoying Smite then good, genuinely happy for you. But it tapers off immensely, which is the point, and no one here wants to put that seed in your head that bringing it to other content and expecting it to work is a good idea, both for you and the team

[final moon]

I am the team

[brazen compass]

Hell I can even use the Voidblast and still put in more work (implying that it's a bad weapon which it is not, Voidblast is very good)

[twin turret]

Testing smite out, with what is available in the dom, i can kill 3 groups of 6+ enemies in 3 seconds on heresy, in that alone inferno would lack

[brazen compass]

Great. Now what about a mixed armor horde of elites? What about the shooters in the back harassing you? What about contributing to boss damage to help bring it down faster?

What about enemies in both directions?

[twin turret]

Guns and swords, parry sword to give myself immunity to dmg by bosses melee, which they use mostly

Elites i can stun especially with shields making it easy for the team

[blissful solar]

your name reminded me of shinigami, a user here. seems like he disappeared

[twin turret]

And the guys in the back take a shot to kill, thats even if they are that far away to not be chained

[brazen compass]

That's still assuming your team will be coherent enough to handle all of that efficiently lol

[twin turret]

So the team’s intelligence will stop or increase effectiveness of smite, comparison to inferno which deals dmg allowing for easier solo playing?

[deft stump]

Types differently though.

[marble crater]

They will learn soon enough

[brazen compass]

You can also still penetrate mobs with the flame staff or knock them down with the Voidblast

On top of that, you're applying massive DoT to everything you touch

[blissful solar]

typed? yeah, it was shinigxmi. he left i guess. last post was

[marble crater]

Can even stagger everything except for crushers with the flame staff, almost same as smite

[twin turret]

Infront of u sure

As long as the chain is still going i can stun elites from every direction

For as long as required

[deft stump]

Shrugs.

[final moon]

Inferno, you can just 360

[glacial vapor]

You can turn with flame staff you know

[twin turret]

For 5 seconds at the max charge

[marble crater]

If you are surrounded you need to work on your positioning instead of relying on smite, that's how you will end up dying

[brazen compass]

Voidblast you can just right click

[final moon]

I mean it must be tiring, staring me dead in the eyes while I reload tho. 🗿

[twin turret]

Its what brings me joy 😭

[twin turret]

In havoc and auric positioning will not help, eventually there will be enemies on all sides

[autumn lark]

it will

[silver mantle]

Smite is a good emergency tool

[brazen compass]

There are also modifiers that prevent Smite from working

[autumn lark]

far easier to hold off a horde with smart dodges

[marble crater]

Playing smite well is good
Playing smite bad is not good
Smite is one of those things where it's very obvious to the entire team when it's not played well. It also teaches bad habits because you don't fully engage with the game.

[deft stump]

But I mean if you are saying they remind you of Shini, uhhh... Different typing style.

[autumn lark]

smite on enraged enemies is throwing

[twin turret]

Rare mods, with even rarer enemy selection

[blissful solar]

only because of their name do they remind me of them

[marble crater]

Of course it will help

[deft stump]

Rare?

[glacial vapor]

Bloody smykers making me walk to the enemies

[brazen compass]

Right, or you can just have a build that won't be reliant on modifiers

[silver mantle]

In some cases positioning will not help

[twin turret]

In 70% of situations sure, but you can have that 30% that are unavoidable

[silver mantle]

like the last h40 I did when I died against the wall

[deft stump]

I guess you don't havoc much if at all.

[twin turret]

I’ve encountered it once, either im lucky, or it is extremely rare

[autumn lark]

https://youtu.be/Dmpfmty06BE?si=DxvA6rT6dVtbjJU0

[blissful solar]

wenimechoinasoma

[silver mantle]

I like brainburst more than smite

[twin turret]

Just shoot them? And the enemies are immune to stun, not dmg, so as long as smite can deal enough dmg which with my build it does, u can still kill them

[brazen compass]

He's sharing the performance of Smite on Heresy; It's hard to really explain the extreme densities that that you can encounter in higher difficulties

[silver mantle]

Because it lets me scream "Im gonna bust"

[brazen compass]

But you're not doing enough damage with Smite for that to work in higher difficulties, that's the point

Flamestaff is suggested because you're stacking massive DoTs that scale with hordes and densities

Smite is not that

[silver mantle]

You know enemies have like 3x hp in havoc 40 compared tocheresy right?

[brazen compass]

Voidblast works too, again

[silver mantle]

Not counting less damage taken

[brazen compass]

Voidstrike is.. a choice, and the EK is not even recommended, also because densities make it hard for it to work

[deft stump]

Smite can still help then, but it should never be a primary used thing...

[twin turret]

How so? Ability dmg as it seems to scale, and another 200% dmg ontop of 10 for the entire team

[final moon]

I don’t think it’s wise to continue relying on me for kills.

[silver mantle]

3x hp means things stop killing

At least in 40s

[twin turret]

My reliance is mostly people close to me

The closer the harder it is to chain them as chain choosing is special

[marble crater]

I have said it before and I will say it again.
Just because psyker has infinite blitz doesn't mean we need to use it the entire time, it's a tool for specific situations.

[silver mantle]

Fire is good because it has infinite horde pen (which smite does not have)

[twin turret]

Pen?

[silver mantle]

And can go through a 60 deep horde

[deft stump]

Someone needs to drag him into h40.

Bonus enraging stuff.

[silver mantle]

I deranked to 1

[brazen compass]

Even a 30

[final moon]

Psykers have the capability to surviving solo.

[silver mantle]

Basically there are way more enemies in havoc, they are chunkier in hitmass, and in hp

[final moon]

It’s relying on Chain lightning as a crutch isn’t gonna be enough.

[brazen compass]

Psykers also have the capability of outdamaging the other 3 teammates combined

[silver mantle]

And fire scales better then

[twin turret]

Solo is what flame is god in

[silver mantle]

No havoc 40 is what flame is god in

[glacial vapor]

Havoc 20 will be enough when you get twins + a BoN along with an armoured horde and specialist wave

[deft stump]

True. 30+ should be fine.

[silver mantle]

Its a flamer with infinite ammo

[autumn lark]

scrier psyker is the strongest playtstyle

[silver mantle]

Smite is even used in these builds, as an emergency stun button not as main dps

Because even if you build for smite

Smite will not kill hordes fast enough in h40

[final moon]

The thing is you have the tendency to seperate from the team. And we can’t do much when you are away.

[copper carbon]

Only time I've ever unironically taken smite is to save a couple points I'll be so real

It's so ass

[silver mantle]

Its an ok stall tool for an unexpected mixed horde at drop

I still prefer bb to kill gunners

[twin turret]

Smites peril build up is the worst thing to have if you’re main dps is from a staff

[copper carbon]

Yeah outside of like specific run ending situations where you need a second of breathing room it's like, fine

[twin turret]

That is a good point

[copper carbon]

But other than that I never pull it out

[brazen compass]

Hell it's not even good in Auric. I mean sure you can stack Smite buffs + EP, but it's not good, decent-ish, and if your smite is killing things more and faster than the rest of the team, then that's not even an issue with Smite but with the team

[silver mantle]

Its not used often as I mentioned its basically for the one usage I mentioned

[final moon]

I know 🗿. I have to chase your ass just to keep you alive.

[twin turret]

Actually also why are people loving on voiceblast?

[silver mantle]

Which is an emergency stun

[twin turret]

I do it in every game istg its a problem habit

[fringe garden]

voiceblast.. is.. that a fancy name for shriek?

[silver mantle]

Because it can spread soulburn well

[deft stump]

You see 6+ crushers and a mixed horde, just smite. Nobody will complain.

[marble crater]

That's not surprising, smite is not a very mobile playstyle

[silver mantle]

I prefer to run trauma fgs bubble though

[twin turret]

The irony here is i am the one far away from the team mostly, not back, forward, it is a issue

[silver mantle]

On the rare chance I play psyker

[brazen compass]

Same, I get the use of the flame staff but I prefer trauma

Or even EK if I'm chilling in Auric

[twin turret]

Actually to make it easier, what is the recommendation for the best flame build?

[glacial vapor]

It has a big glow up when fully upgraded. Very strong. A good VB psyker can trivialise missions

[silver mantle]

I like dropping bannanas

For crushers

To slip on

[brazen compass]

Frag staff, away!

[twin turret]

So for myself i can see its dps

[deft stump]

If you die, you have only yourself to blame. Never run off ahead and pull things.

[silver mantle]

Are you going to be playing on auric heresies or havoc 40s?

[marble crater]

There are builds for all the staves in the pins

[silver mantle]

Because there is a difference between the dps potential of flame in places with "small hordes" and big hordes

[twin turret]

Its a frustrating habit i have with every game, sometimes works out well, others not so well

[twin turret]

Im gonna try thats for sure

[marble crater]

It will still kill the small horde just as quickly, it will just feel less powerful because of the lack of enemies

[silver mantle]

If you want to survive doing that play zealot

[silver mantle]

This

It will kill 60 dudes and 10 in pretty much the same amount of time

Which is slower than methods who will only kill those 10 dudes an no more

[twin turret]

Someone reply to what they feel the best inferno staff build is if they can

[zinc phoenix]

Dog at 10 bucks idk 🤷‍♀️

[molten saddle]

So wait im coming back with psyker is purge staff allround better or not

[fringe garden]

I mean, obviously it scales in effectiveness with enemy density

[brazen compass]

I will unironically use the flame staff for Lights Out because it's a torch for the team

[zinc phoenix]

Like dog is really just novelty I am a psykerino

🤔 but ten bucks is pretty reasonable

[molten saddle]

This is i very accetptable

[fringe garden]

I'll wait till arbites dies down before I level it

Just to give my games some variety lol

[marble crater]

#psyker-class message here are builds for staves

[zinc phoenix]

Gotta love when you can’t see shit because it’s both too dark and blindingly white

[silver mantle]

Check pins its in there

[brazen compass]

Otherwise I can't work with the playstyle for the flame staff

[zinc phoenix]

I can totally see me buying arbies and then going “but maybe meleeker today” and then never actually playing dog

[brazen compass]

I like slide-charging with the other staves more

[autumn lark]

ill use melee arbites with the dog

[molten saddle]

“I cant see its too dark”

“I CAST 1M bulbs!!!”

“I CANT SEE IM BLIND”

[molten saddle]

?

[twin turret]

Yo mayhapes is there anyway to guarantee lights out?

It is by far the funnest modifier

[deft stump]

Am blind either way but one is safer.

[marble crater]

By joining missions that have it, that's it

[twin turret]

😭

[autumn lark]

Finally someone else that thinks lights out is amazing

[brazen compass]

Not as amazing as you

[twin turret]

I prefer it over the regular game

[autumn lark]

https://tenor.com/view/embarrassed-blushing-flustered-happy-cat-cat-gif-15662089790240461319

[deft stump]

It's awful. Like IDK who wants to play purely on memory of the map and sound.

[brazen compass]

I'll tolerate Lights Out on anything not the Torrent

[twin turret]

For fun? And horror factor of them coming out of nowhere

[brazen compass]

Because the fucking pit falls

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/pick-me-blake-shelton-the-voice-choose-me-over-here-gif-16888083

[brazen compass]

Otherwise? When you play the maps enough, you're already running on autopilot

[silver mantle]

Flashlight

[brazen compass]

The only thing you can't really expect is what's gonna be in the loot boxes

[marble crater]

Soulblaze and EK are my flashlights

[brazen compass]

Otherwise? ez pz

[deft stump]

Not all guns have it.

Zealot H40 picks tend to lack it.

[silver mantle]

Weapon customization mod lets all weapons have flashlights

[glacial vapor]

Got to love loading in to lights out as Ogryn without the heavy stubber

[silver mantle]

Flamer flashlight

[brazen compass]

I want to love that mod so much but the performance hit is horrible

[deft stump]

If it't not baseline, not counted.

[silver mantle]

True true

Ogryn only has 1 flashlight option

Could also run inderbo staff as flashlight

[deft stump]

Zealot though, only viable is probs recon legit.

Or inf auto.

Unless you wanna waste fuel to light up.

[silver mantle]

Infantry auto is a good gun

Also bonus for lights out is lower spawns

As opposed to vent purge

Fuck vent purge

Fuck Vent Purge

[deft stump]

Tell that to the 4 crushers, 6 maulers, 8 shotgunners and 7 gunners in one fight.

Maybe 2 reapers. But hard to tell the the dark and a kill feed just lighting up because oggy things.

[brazen compass]

True. You can punch DHs but can't get close enough to punch snipers when you have 10 of them all shooting you at once

[upper sun]

@marble crater i take back what i said about deathloop

[silver mantle]

Only 10?

[upper sun]

i was doing too much that didnt nead to be done

[silver mantle]

Also vent purge pus

Goo

[brazen compass]

[upper sun]

i thought i had to ||get all 3 passwords at once|| but i remembered each so i could get 1 each run

[marble crater]

Taking back what, the good or the bad things you said?

[upper sun]

im taking back the bad

i was doing too much 😭

and doing it out of order

[marble crater]

I already deleted it again though, now I have to download it again?

[upper sun]

😭

you didnt even run it

[marble crater]

I did, I walked 10 meters even

[upper sun]

ah well you gave it a try at least

[marble crater]

And then I went to bed because it was already late when I started and the next day you said the puzzles are bad

[upper sun]

it requires reading

which im not into

[marble crater]

I also don't like reading much in my games, if I want to read I will pick a book

[brazen compass]

You'll like a game called Deus Ex

[upper sun]

i do like it

deus ex at least let you hack stuff

in deathloop you have to WRITE DOWN the codes

[marble crater]

Same, Deus Ex is fun

[brazen compass]

I mean the original, not the new..er ones

[upper sun]

cant even look them up because theyre randomized per save file

[twin turret]

Yo

What exactly is the flame staff build? For the staff not talent tree

[brazen compass]

Purgatus Staff

[twin turret]

Yeah that one

Whats the blessings and perks for it?

[upper sun]

flak and crithance/mania/unyielding/elite with nexus and blaze away

[twin turret]

Like the staffs blessings and perks

[brazen compass]

What is it? Nexus and.. Blaze Away?

ah yeah

[twin turret]

Wth???

[marble crater]

What clad said

[brazen compass]

Clad is the best Psyker here so he knows everything

[upper sun]

like this

[marble crater]

(only ever plays zealot and ogryn)

[upper sun]

not even zealot anymore

just ogryn

[brazen compass]

(shh don't tell him)

[upper sun]

and when arbites comes out not even ogryn

[plucky flax]

Flak and unyielding best perks

[narrow herald]

Holy shit 0% WR

[upper sun]

its easier to set it to 0 than 60 😭

[brazen compass]

dw, Master Clad knows his stuff

[plucky flax]

Tru

[narrow herald]

5% is fine, but Yeah Unyielding is prob better, especially with how many bosses there are in higher level content

[brazen compass]

How about this: I don't like the flame stuff so now it's bad

[narrow herald]

Nice argument, unfortunately

[young cliff]

The zealots are cosplaying ogryn, the same will happen with arbites

[brazen compass]

(Voidblast)

[tawny dune]

Speaking of, anyone up for getting the cliffhanger penance?

[dense wolf]

[pine shore]

ranged weapon recommendations for gunker other than vraks?

[static sonnet]

Recon

[pine shore]

recon is cool

[static sonnet]

Recon is cool

[thorn cedar]

laspis

[weary crane]

Hab drako h40, just before the bridge at the end, got twins + pogryn and hordes

[rigid sky]

Maybe try a VAG

Infantry lasgun even if they were less shit

Or the other IAGs

Voidstrike is also an option, it's basically a gun

[copper carbon]

Autopistol (Except for havoc don't do that)

[pine shore]

Also, do activeted fgs kills count for soul stealer even if I'm at 0 charge?

Like, with the blade itself

[twin turret]

Main issue now, how the hell do i increase charge rate of inferno staff

[pine shore]

You dont

or blue stim

actually yea, blue stim

[twin turret]

It takes so long to charge its insane

[tepid python]

thanks

[pine shore]

idk how, but it's a very quick staff

[static sonnet]

You dont have to charge it all the way, it gets better when you have an 80% in charge rate, and if you really wanna sacrifice damage, you can change Blaze Away for Warp Flurry

The charge doesn't affect the damage of the flame or burn, just how long you can gout, it matters most for Blaze Away

[pine shore]

you also have lmb for immedeate stagger

Your lmb stagger everything but ogryns

lmb twice -> start charging

If you need to

[rigid sky]

Just do short charges tbh

If you just keep spamming short charges you maintain BA anyway

[static sonnet]

Real question is, what's the point of the staff when the charge and gout starts and ends in you hand? Staff doesn't do a damn thing lol

The other staffs are at least a focus point, least this one could do is have the flames out the end

[prime elk]

wat

[static sonnet]

Animation visuals lol, that's all

[halcyon plover]

is the meta for inferno staff still to have as little warp resist as possible?

[twin turret]

What exactly does warp resist do?

[thorn cedar]

Less cost for casting

[twin turret]

The higher?

[thorn cedar]

Yea

[blissful solar]

could be referred to as "peril resistance"

[last kayak]

It's mocking me

[twin turret]

Why would that be the meta?

That would be worse? To have no resist?

[blissful solar]

higher peril = more damage or something

[last kayak]

Lots of perks and talents work with high peril

[marble crater]

Leave, zealot

[blissful solar]

erm my highest level is psyker

level 1200

[thorn cedar]

It's a train of logic I don't entirely follow.

[marble crater]

Lies

[jovial juniper]

Not quite
Current Psyker gets better as peril goes up
So peril is good

[marble crater]

Warp resistance is also the stat with the worst scaling, so dumping that has the smallest effect

[blissful solar]

i lied ,level 1112

[marble crater]

these zealots

[jovial juniper]

And there's an ungodly amount of ways to quell peril as well

[halcyon plover]

means you get peril faster and more peril = more damage and faster damage ramp-up

[marble crater]

And more peril you can quell again for more toughness

[halcyon plover]

true

[hearty wolf]

It's also a matter of opportunity cost. What are you dumping instead?

[thorn cedar]

Quell

[marble crater]

Eww

[narrow herald]

Heh

[marble crater]

Inferno mains would take 0% resistance, if they could

[narrow herald]

Edging

😏

[thorn cedar]

Inferno of course would.

Their attack lasts for ten minutes per charge and the deaths are all staggered out by a dot. It's almost tailor made for Battle Meditation procs.

You'll end fire casts with less perils than you started.

[deft stump]

Anyone for EU H40? LF2.

[summer prairie]

ok

[deft stump]

Join Chaos. I'm Inf loadscreening rn.

[marble crater]

"Join Chaos" stop right there you heretic

[fallow dock]

“Yes commissar this one right here”

[plucky flax]

Get them

Call the arbites

[fallow dock]

Exterminatus this jawn

[marble crater]

I hope loose cannon mocks the Arbites whenever they insist on being the law or something similar

[covert stump]

Wasn't it 30 at launch

[marble crater]

30 sounds insane, I think it was 11? I didn't play yet at that point

[covert stump]

Seems to be 20 based on google

[last kayak]

I don't recall

I wasn't a psyker player back then

[twin turret]

If 0% is impossible how the hell did u get this

Is it edited or incredibly rare

[upper sun]

its not from the game

[twin turret]

Sad times

[upper sun]

the website is a bit hard to use to scroll for the exact number

setting it to zero is easier than 60 but any lower number than 60 or 60 is fine

as long as everything else is high its good

[twin turret]

Is there a way at all to lower it?

[upper sun]

no

but it doesnt matter too much

if you compae a staff with 80 warp resist and 60 or lower you wont find much difference on right mouse button attacks

just left mouse button clicks

only like 1-3% peril

[twin turret]

U gotta translater for xbox?

[upper sun]

what do you mean?

[twin turret]

Idk what left and right mouse buttons translate to on controller

[upper sun]

oh lmao

[marble crater]

Left click is RT, right click is LT

[upper sun]

yeah sut pls help

[twin turret]

Yeah but, on controller its u click, RT or hold RT for different attacks

[upper sun]

but yeah overall peril resist doesnt do much

[twin turret]

Unfortunate

[marble crater]

You hold LT for the charged attack and then press RT

[twin turret]

Have u changed ur binds?

[twin turret]

The only time this is the case for me is when im using smite?

[marble crater]

Yes, but not those

[marble crater]

Every staff has a charged attack that works like this

[twin turret]

U can use the staffs without it no?

U only need left trigger for blitz

[marble crater]

The charged attacks are the entire reason to use the staves, if you are just using the regular primary attack you might as well use a gun, imo.

[twin turret]

Also, in regards to the 10% chance to instant kill a enemy due to brain aneurysm, does every burn tick count as a hit?

[marble crater]

Yes

[twin turret]

Yeah but u can charge on staffs without left trigger

[twin turret]

That is unbelievably stupid and powerful

[marble crater]

No

[twin turret]

I just got off, ive been doing it since using inferno staff

[marble crater]

Did you shoot a continuous stream of flames or was it more like flame, flame, flame, flame

[twin turret]

Continuous

U dont need left trigger for the staffs

[zenith fiber]

bbbbut ek lmb :(

[marble crater]

Then you used LT to charge it and RT to fire it

[twin turret]

Mine just goes to full charge rhen fires 🤷

Using only rt

[marble crater]

[twin turret]

Magic?

[fringe garden]

lol

[marble crater]

I don't know what it is, but that's not how it works

[twin turret]

Its how it had been for me 😭

[twin turret]

Actually does this mean, your nearly guaranteed to instant kill bosses?

[marble crater]

No, because there is a cooldown

It's also only an instant kill on enemies with low enough HP, it's a free Brain Burst, not automatic kill

[twin turret]

Ahhh

So just a shit ton of dmg

[glacial vapor]

A decent amount of damage

Let's not go crazy

[zenith fiber]

if they removed the cd, inferno would be unbeatably strong

[twin turret]

Cd?

[marble crater]

Cooldown

[pine shore]

What about headhunters?

[marble crater]

It was like at the end without LT?

[marble crater]

Reconlas, las pistol

[twin turret]

Yeah

[pine shore]

I already know that

But what about headhunters?

Are they a good idea for gunker?

[thorn cedar]

i did the

singleshot one

for a good while

it has pretty hilarious finesse stats

[marble crater]

then you are either messing with me, have some weird controller or settings or have a left/right weakness. I can't think of anything else

[thorn cedar]

its just much slower than recon/lasp

in terms of gameplay flow

[twin turret]

😭dunno what to tell ya bro

[marble crater]

Yeah me neither, if you are serious then I'm just confused and don't know what you are doing and if you are messing with me then well

[plucky flax]

Did you win son?

[wraith sphinx]

it would be a good pick if it weren't for the turbo ultra deluxe collector's edition hyper ass sights

[weary crane]

Nope we all got pushed off, then the ogryn tried to run and got netted

[plucky flax]

[wraith sphinx]

the reflex sight is very good on the infantry lasgun, so why the fuck does the vigilant AG have basic bitch irons that don't even have any glowy bits? It boggles the mind

[marble crater]

Damn, you really hate the sights

[plucky flax]

I feel the pain. Lost a few games at hab finale due to unfortunate bosses.

[wraith sphinx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046912126746374274/1380837130212741191/image.png?ex=6847f74a&is=6846a5ca&hm=1348a7873139d15b32098542f099e608307d635a44a48edd981bd132ca5bb3b2&

yes

worst sights in all of darktide

and Vig AGs don't even have flashlights to alleviate this

[marble crater]

Does that even qualify as a sight? You can't see anything

[thorn cedar]

its not a good video game sight, no

[wraith sphinx]

I got the weapon customization mod exclusively to put the lasgun sights on this

and it was a massive improvement

[marble crater]

Not to your performance though, right?

Games performance, rather

[deft stump]

@summer prairie Thanks. IDK if you saw DM, but yeah... That's more normal me when there's randoms around tbh. And I turned off the fan because you know.

[wraith sphinx]

the mod has no impact on my performance

[marble crater]

I have seen some people say it does, unless it's a different customization mod

[plucky flax]

Maybe because he always has low frames.

So it doesn't matter.

[wraith sphinx]

gamers are tech illiterate and say a lot of wrong shit

[deft stump]

Naw, just have an antique CPU. What is FPS in DT anyway?

[wraith sphinx]

that being said, nobody stops to check what the mod does under the hood so it's always statistically plausible it sneaks in some shitcode that causes a memory leak for some reason

[deft stump]

When horde that's more than malice shows up.

[wraith sphinx]

Despite having a gpu below minimum requirements I manage to keep a constant 60 fps outside of the upper half of havocs

[weary crane]

60 fps

I hate it when i drop below 140

[hearty wolf]

This game runs like utter doodoo and I can't keep a stable 140 :(

[plucky flax]

Karien you're kinda op now. You did like 350k damage.

[deft stump]

20-140.

[hearty wolf]

KarienBlaze

New DoT

[wraith sphinx]

I hope I will be able to keep purchasing and using 60Hz rr monitors well into the future because chasing those higher framerates is just pure ass

[weary crane]

Have you tried Dlss + frame gen, works for me

[deft stump]

When nothing in matches, 90-100... Anything shows up... starts dropping... H40 horde? 20 min atm.

[deft stump]

Wat. Proof or is 150k.

[plucky flax]

Is tru

[hearty wolf]

Now that you mention it. I think I'm only using a DLSS because I didn't think you could also use AMD frame gen at the same time.

[weary crane]

You can enable both in the launcher

[plucky flax]

I can't keep constant 140fps with 4090 and 5800x3d.

[hearty wolf]

I'll give it a shot

[plucky flax]

Too many mods it's fucked.

[hearty wolf]

Bruh. What resolution are you playing at?

[plucky flax]

Only regular 1440p 16:9

[hearty wolf]

Wtf

[plucky flax]

No fancy ultrawide.

[weary crane]

It will turn off vsync everytime you load in for some reason, otherwise it works fine

[wraith sphinx]

yup

[plucky flax]

I play on max settings so when horde get too big it drops hard.

[wraith sphinx]

I'm never getting a bigger monitor so I can save money on gpu purchases

[deft stump]

At least you can play on max. I drop every CPU setting to min and still 20 FPS.

[thorn cedar]

my 1080 will never die

[plucky flax]

Maybe with 5090 it won't drop fps.

[deft stump]

Anything GPU changes nothing tbh.

[brazen compass]

Maybe if they optimized the game, sure

[weary crane]

Graphics is normally not the problem, because games allow you to dump them. Getting a good cpu is vital (you want a fast single thread speed for minecraft)

[plucky flax]

This is it 100%.

Spaghetti swedish engine.

[deft stump]

i7-9700.

[weary crane]

What gen is that

[weary crane]

I'm on a i5-13600kf and i wouldn't recommend lower

[brazen compass]

I genuinely love this game. But the amount of hiccups and bumps that you have in normal gameplay that just ruins the ride is nearly enough to make me want to pull my hair out. So close to perfection, but yet so far.

[wraith sphinx]

I have i7-12700

really got lucky considering 13th and 14th generation cpus had that megabad microcode issue that just assblasted the cpus from inside

[weary crane]

True

But it mostly just affected the i9s

I updated my bios asap aswell

[deft stump]

Honestly, it's really trying to run things... But hey... Using an ancient HP pavilion from the early 200x to play NWN2 really helps you deal with crazy lag.

30 mins per fight.

It's really 1 frame every 3-10 secs.

[wraith sphinx]

people buy i9s for gaming?

it's not invalid but it's also kinda overkill

[upper sun]

despite having Geforce now and running on a 4080 and a new AMD cpu the game sometimes says fuck you 30fps in auric

[wraith sphinx]

more like geforce later

[upper sun]

it runs cyberpunk on max everything at a very good fps

game sometimes randomly enables ray tracing

or has a bad day lmao

[wraith sphinx]

no internet connectivity issues?

[upper sun]

very rarely

[wraith sphinx]

I wouldn't trust my net nearly enough to have a frustration free experience w geforce now

[upper sun]

tough i have fiber and a 1000down 500 up connection

[deft stump]

I mean, if you can find an i9-9900... It's the only upgrade I can use.

[wraith sphinx]

sure but I'll expect some dolla in return

[upper sun]

its 19 dollars btw

idk how hungary of all fucking places has cheap crazy fast internet

[deft stump]

And there you can find the problem. I can skip meals and such, but that's cash. So i'm forced to find a physical seller.

[wraith sphinx]

probably for same whatever reason romania does

it's an anomaly for sure tho

[wraith sphinx]

no paypal?

[deft stump]

It has like $4 in it from a cache sale and leftovers.

Steam only takes min $6.

So........

[brazen compass]

Because they are

hungary for it

[deft stump]

Thing is, it needs too much too cool and everything is already burning hot when gaming.

Like, I can keep my tea warm when gaming if i do a stupid and put it above where the CPU is.

[deft stump]

There's now a fan there to ensure cool air is forced in.

But not much when your ambient temps be like... 35 deg cel.

[zenith fiber]

mobility or collat on bolt pistol

[prime elk]

Collat dump

[deft stump]

From a Bistol user on two classes, Collateral is better. But if you already made a mobility dump bistol, it's still fine to use.

[zenith fiber]

have one of each unlevelled and was deciding which one to favourite

thanks

[deft stump]

And yes, I mean dump collateral. I'll just be honest and tell you it changes no breakpoints, not even on Zealot.

[weary crane]

How are there so many true survivor clearance 40 player that play like absolute garbage

[plucky flax]

Sry was me

[verbal thistle]

Is that rhetorical?

It's pretty easy to understand

[upper sun]

pre changes and paying people to carry them

[deft stump]

Sorry. I got carried hard and play on controller and 300-400 ping.

[plucky flax]

No it was just me every time.

[verbal thistle]

Always, smh

You playing today chaos?

Duos?

[plucky flax]

Nein I am at work so I only have access to laptop.

[upper sun]

how can you play darktide at work

[plucky flax]

Uhhh...

Just let it happen.

[upper sun]

😭

this dude has been his own manager for 7 years

[deft stump]

Mono speaker H40.

[plucky flax]

Respect the JBL Flip 6

[verbal thistle]

It's only 12 in the morning for me

So I got all day if you do get on

[plucky flax]

I can only try hard at weekend at home on PC.

I won't be home until then.

[verbal thistle]

Okay

I see

[plucky flax]

If I have 2 JBL bluetooth speakers they can become 2 channels.

That's OP

[verbal thistle]

Lmao

[molten saddle]

Can someone link the meta purge staff the link in pin isnt working

[molten saddle]

What about weapons im guessing deimos sword ?

[verbal thistle]

Whatever you want

[weary idol]

old havoc 40 was much easier than new havoc and required substantially less individual skill

[verbal thistle]

Usually single target weapons like force swords work nicely

But I use tactical axe

[weary idol]

you see it with chorus zealots and bubble psykers the most for exactly that reason

they got their clears of old havoc with 3 zealots just rotating chorus the entire mission while the psyker killed everything for them with purgatus spam

[plucky flax]

Was me

[wraith sphinx]

I think I vented about havoc forged smykers here already

[formal harness]

For havoc 40 purg a couple of things change:

[covert stump]

Is assail worth running with gun psyker? Not sure I have a good ragned option for crushers.

[verbal thistle]

Never consider ranged the solution for armor

A bad habit

To not learn how to dodge them

[formal harness]

You must run flak-unyielding as unyielding spam/boss dmg is the single most important thing

I %100 running Penetrating Flames / Blaze Away, as pen flames are a godsend during any thicc armor wave really, and blaze away is blaze away

Get good keybinds for blitz cancelling your m1 so you get faster m1 attacks for elite stagger and surpression

I suggest pairing it with auto bb + faster bb after ult so you’re versatile with sniping specials and important targets while absolutely decimating mass

[verbal thistle]

Most melee weapon and easily deal carapace damage

[covert stump]

I know, I've been playing zealot mostly. I just hoped for a more wizardy playstyle.

I guess I can always stick to brain burst

[verbal thistle]

Indeed

Try it out

[covert stump]

I have

[formal harness]

This is mostly how you should run your purg, couple of things might change here and there but this is the best

[wraith sphinx]

It's the best option - you use assail for soft targets

[formal harness]

Also remember %20 brittle you get from penetrating flames stack on top of brittleness stacks additively

As is separate buff

[covert stump]

Assail for soft hordes, gun for specialists, stab the carapace?

[wraith sphinx]

yeah close enough

[covert stump]

Thanks

[verbal thistle]

the basics

[plucky flax]

Find a melee weapon with uncanny or run the big sword.

[verbal thistle]

but melee should be able to deal with everything

[wraith sphinx]

I use Assail for soft hordes specialists and elites, guns for everything I judge I can't handle with assail or melee, and melee for things like crushers, maulers, scab ragers

the ideal end point of this being I conserve my gun ammo as much as possible

(and use it vs bosses, forgot to mention)

though I've been meleeing bosses more and more lately

[covert stump]

It's fun, but other than that so far I haven't seen exactly what makes it better to use a gun than a staff

[analog agate]

I wish heavy sword was better at carapace. I really like that weapon

[plucky flax]

Gun can kill specials faster than staff.

[wraith sphinx]

no chargeup for secondary attacks, bullets fly much faster than lmb bolts, can be specced into having decent anti boss damage which is something psykers usually struggle a lot with

[wraith sphinx]

same

[covert stump]

fair enough

[plucky flax]

And it's funny when people get mad if they see a psyker with a gun.

[deft stump]

I thought was 2 bubble, 2 chorus?

[wraith sphinx]

and perhaps most importantly of all, firing a gun doesn't build up peril, which makes guns synergize well with scriers gaze

[wraith sphinx]

It's been forever since someone flamed me for gun psykering

guess all those ppl are sweating on havocs now

[plucky flax]

They want to keep all their precious ammo to themselves.

No sharing or something.

[analog agate]

When are we now? 2023?

[wraith sphinx]

is it possible that the recent right tree buffs finally silenced gunker critics

[analog agate]

Gun psyker has been great since the original tree rework

[plucky flax]

That was taken last week or something.

[analog agate]

Ouch

[plucky flax]

Guy joined my h40 lobby and flamed me.

[analog agate]

He just wanted you to be bubble boy

[wraith sphinx]

yeah, I figured

yet gun psykering was legit the only thing randoms gave me shit for

even got called a slur once for picking up ammo

on standard heresy of all things

[plucky flax]

I had bubble.

No psykinetic aura bubble long cooldown.

When it pops in 5s.

[analog agate]

Oh you were doing bubble knight

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's op build.

[wraith sphinx]

yeah it's the agentchaos special

[plucky flax]

I've had people asked me why am I not on bubble knight when I played staff.

[analog agate]

Lol
