fatshark in action

[proud frost]

also, another clip from slightly earlier in the same match

as mentioned, they go BRRRR

[summer prairie]

it might just be pulling wrong information for the description

[jovial juniper]

NaV

[summer prairie]

maybe the rending multiplier for rending shockwave

[brazen compass]

Average extra penetration node + Warp Splitting + EP moment

(Ground Beef Simulator)

[proud frost]

turned that hallway into a murderblender

[still vault]

How are you supposed to use the electro staff now a days? I've looked at the build, and maybe it's just a case of I need to level it up, but it feels so anemic

[brazen warren]

smite on the pox burster waves is super satisfying

zap, 4-5 booms, repeat

[proud frost]

like firecrackers

[brazen warren]

zap staff iirc is heavy armor pen single target crit burst

it also has a slight stun to the secondary fire, while the primary has massive suppression values

so just spamming the light shots send enemies scrabbling for cover

[summer prairie]

right it has been like that for a few months, it's pulling the description values for rending shockwave (rending_debuff) instead of penetrating flames (rending_burn_Debuff)

[zenith fiber]

why were these ever hardcoded lmao

[brazen compass]

I run it with Surge (left click spam) + Nexus (crit building, which all staves shine at), and I basically use left click for anything up until a Mauler, then right click for some things like opening a Bulwark or critting a mutie to have them drop a mate

You can also do Nexus and Flurry to learn more into the right click, but it's a single target staff so keep it in mind

[still vault]

If I go left click spam, I should take the 6% warp damage on primary fire right?

But yeah, Ive tried the rmb build and it seems like it takes me around 4/5 full charge for a crusher - so maybe it's just a case of levelling it up to hit better breakpoints

[brazen compass]

You can if you find you have the spare points

Alternatively you can lean more into the left click spam by building a Voidstrike the same way, Surge affects RMB on it

The difference being you now have a projectile with travel time, rather than heat-seeking electricity on the EK

[zenith fiber]

isn't the point of ek lmb spam that the staff has massive crit bonus on it

for way more consistent surge

[brazen compass]

Yes, and for every crit you make, Surge doubles it and gives it to the next person on LMB

On the Voidstrike it's both LMB and RMB

[deft stump]

Try using assail and quickswapping to a Bistol with a FGS.

[brazen compass]

On the EK, the RMB spikes to a second target which is on crit iirc

[deft stump]

Use puncture on Bistol.

You need to swap while the darts are still in the air.

[brazen warren]

surge nexus EK farming crits also means your lmb is going to ignore armor most of the time, so just spamming lmb into heads will probably cover you for most things

[narrow herald]

What build?

[summer prairie]

crits don't ignore armor

[still vault]

the pinned comments, the surge build linked

[marble crater]

What level are you?

Low stat staves feel like garbage to use

[narrow herald]

Electro staff is basically a low investment weapon, it works well as a single target option while your ability or melee is the wave clear

But it doesn't have crazy modifiers that scale with things like finesse or crit, or wave clear

I cringe when I see left click spam, so I have no idea about that

[deft stump]

I think they partially do or some damage I do just makes no sense.

[brazen warren]

Crits significantly impact weapons damage output against armor classes they typically have no ability to deal with in my experience. So running crit to address carapace specifically is a viable strat on staves that have access to good crit blessings in my opinon.

[summer prairie]

ek lmb still does no damage to carapace when critting

[spice veldt]

not as a default characteristic

if a hit's base damage is below a certain number, weakspot/crit hits do higher damage than expected because of a rounding error
and there's a adm increase on crit attribute that can be set per-adm (e.g., knife)

[deft stump]

So is just FS coding.

Seems normal.

[still vault]

Im level 30, psykers just my last class to properly gear atm

[brazen warren]

hmm, seems to boost the lmb damage by around 2x, from 50-100. Might be better to run warp flurry over surge to get faster casts on the rmb lightning

could even replace nexus with focused channeling to rmb spam and just walk around quick to provide zap damage

without getting locked in place

the crit damage boost on the rmb is also not huge from what I am seeing in the meat grinder. from a 900 hit to a 1100 hit

so faster casts would be better

[warm glade]

Surge is nice because gives bonus crit chance its like 2 in 1

[rigid sky]

So, crit can make some weapons deal actual damage to carapace rather than practically nothing, but it isn't actually "ignoring armour" or "degrading armour" or any of that bollocks

You just have to look at the attack tables

[brazen warren]

now im going down the lightning build rabbit hole, going to be fun

ive done gunker and flamer already so this will probably be fun too

[rigid sky]

Take Shriek for sure

[plucky flax]

Some unsanctioned guy really likes surge

Hes kinda good

[brazen warren]

going to go with an unhinged scriers gaze peril reduction single point in EP for big smite when the horde is thick

[deft stump]

You mean yourself.

[plucky flax]

Clearly a different person just have the same account name or something.

[ornate hamlet]

This was my first psyker build I ever did, a electro staff crit build with shriek. It’s a solid build! A bit squishy but hell, that’s the norm so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoy!

[brazen compass]

I don't understand

AgentChaos is AgentChaos, not UnsanctionedPsyker

How can you even confuse one for the other

[plucky flax]

Tru

[deft stump]

You would know if you played with him.

[brazen compass]

I have

Two different people entirely

[deft stump]

So Psyker mains back to gaslighting me as usual, a classic.

[brazen compass]

I'm not a Psyker main though

[summer prairie]

UnsanctionedPsyker loses 20 times in a row but the youtuber only wins

[brazen compass]

I played with UnsanctionedPsyker before, dirty gunker who died to poxers

[deft stump]

I mean this chat. I just call them <class> mains.

[brazen compass]

AgentChaos though, not bad

[ornate hamlet]

They’re al probably better than me, so I can’t judge

[plucky flax]

This is factual

[brazen compass]

He doesn't afraid of anything

[lavish glade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/717080687932604456/1258108922259177604/rollingcat.gif

[deft stump]

Did you mess up that badly by accident?

[plucky flax]

What wut

[deft stump]

Related to that.

[plucky flax]

Well that's not me so I can't comment

[prisma hinge]

gentlemen and not so gentle men

what are our thoughts on smykers

[plucky flax]

Its based

[marble crater]

If played well they are okay
If not played well they are one of the builds where it's the most obvious and I don't like it

[deft stump]

I stopped caring as long they are doing something that isn't spending half the game in rescue.

[brazen warren]

so the build work pretty well

spamming right clicks into gunners at good ranges is funny as they pop

got some good smites off into full 200+ hordes too, crispy

[verbal thistle]

: (

[summer prairie]

after the dlc is out the meta is smite and 3 dogs kill everything slowly

[wraith sphinx]

Come now, no need to be so grim

A smyker need only be shown that smite does not kill

[summer prairie]

ok kill fast

[brazen warren]

Smite is more of a utility option than a damage tool like purgatus staff. You can stun, weaken, and stagger huge groups of enemies which makes clean up faster for your allies, secures zones, picks on dogs and bursters

[wraith sphinx]

Does it work on all enemies?

[brazen warren]

bigger enemies take longer to stun and stagger, but when you can throw a 100+ pack swarming around a crusher pocket to the ground for your team to focus fire without getting surrounded its a game changer

[wraith sphinx]

What about monsters and bosses?

[brazen warren]

essentially you want the smite to spread to your targets, then as soon as its connected you cancel the cast, and it throws them to the ground

monsters and bosses are almost immune to full stuns and staggers outside ogryn big nade, vet shout, and zealot relic

but if you are competent any class can attack lock plogryns or kite cspawns

smite still has uses in cases where a boss is up though, as it will still work on swarms around them to clear space

assuming you are not the bosses target

[wraith sphinx]

While I do not share some of the other players' sentiments with regards to their dislike for smite users it must be stated that seeing a psyker smiting a boss with negligible to no chaff around it is depressing, triply so if it's a golden title psyker on havoc missions, as I've had the misfortune of encountering

[brazen warren]

the lmb on smite can pop bursters at range too with the cancel knockdown

yeah, that sounds rough

[wraith sphinx]

It's prudent to educate those players that holding down RMB smite is not a valid use case of smite because I would like to be able to use the blitz myself without noticing other players conspicuously looking over my loadout and quitting the lobby for example

[brazen warren]

press and hold is only for if you are coordinating a rez in a pack of mobs and you are on cover duty

[wraith sphinx]

or if you can clearly infer your teammates don't have a lid on the situation and are about to get downed

otherwise I use lmb smite much more than rmb smite on average

[ornate hamlet]

That’s my issue when I play

[brazen compass]

Doesn't be afraid, simple as

[plucky flax]

Play ogryn and you are not afraid

[dense wolf]

all fear

gone

know only hunger and rashuns

[ornate hamlet]

No no, I mean I’m never afraid even when I should probably be more cautious! Living on the edge.

[brazen compass]

Oh, well, I don't see a problem with that; That's just Psyker

Why be afraid of what's in front of you when the magic space boogeymen can suck your soul out of your body through a straw at any given moment?

[weary crane]

Do enemies target the dogs?

[wraith sphinx]

No

[ornate hamlet]

The real issue is I’m like this with zealot. I’m that zealot who charges into situations u probably never should. Usuallly turns out ok, but also death is a thing. Lol

[brazen compass]

tbh? Nothing wrong with that; I'm actually more comfortable playing Psyker than Zealot

Because Psyker has so many battlefield controlling tools, and for Zealot, all it takes is one wrong move

[prime elk]

I mean zealot can literally die every two minutes with minimal consequences

[wraith sphinx]

I don't like martyrdom zealots that mald when they accidentally get a whiff of healing

unless they're actually good enough to actually not get hit they're a liability

[marble crater]

Should troll them and put the healing in the middle of the elevator or airlock

[brazen compass]

Yeah not like me, where I'll play Martyrdom, fuck up, and then get mad at myself instead of my team

[ornate hamlet]

That’s why I’m so reckless with zealot. I’ve had people call me out over it, but the way I see it is 1- only one way to get better, and 2- it’s in character.

I also dump med kits and ammo crates for scriptures as all I need is faith to keep me alive, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[wraith sphinx]

do you cast fotf on your pc as well

[weak sierra]

smite SUCKS when it's someone else playing with it
but if it's me then it's awesome

[prime elk]

I hope you run martyrdom too

[upper sun]

what the dog doin

[quick tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/vicious-whiplash-viralhog-fast-playing-with-toy-dog-gif-17281268

[ornate hamlet]

Of course I do! The only way to run.

[rigid sky]

Martyrdom is addictive tbh

Or maybe chain axe is addictive

Frankly Zealot feels like a boss with an enrage

[ornate hamlet]

To be fair, as much as I love martyrdom, I get people suggesting BP and IJ builds instead. It’s a lot of risk/reward for martyrdom, and other builds can achieve similar results (not the same) with less risk.

But it’s part of the fun!

[prime elk]

Wtf

Recommending BP and IJ to others

[ornate hamlet]

I don’t like them a ton. I’ve tried them both. They are good, but martyrdom is just more fun and better if you can not die 4 times a match.

And even then….as long as you can stay alive long enough for until death to reset, you’re good.

[brazen compass]

PERISH YE!

🧎‍♂️‍➡️

[wraith sphinx]

@strong gulch @marble crater hi, do you want to play together and continue yesterday's auric mael streak? 🙂

[marble crater]

Want yes, but my pizza will get here in like 20 to 30 minutes so I can't until I'm done eating

[wraith sphinx]

no rush, enjoy the pizza!

[marble crater]

Thanks, I'll ping when I ready to play

[spiral steeple]

What curios are good for the space wizards?

[wraith sphinx]

I run 3 toughness curios and nothing else

[marble crater]

Toughness and Health both work, 2 toughness 1 health, 1 toughness 1 health 1 +3 stamina, 2 toughness 1 stamina

Everything except wounds really

[static sonnet]

I like 3 Toughness with health, toughness, stamina regen on all three right now. I find that with Psykinetics Aura I get my ability back fast enough to not need the Ability regen, and I dont use my Ability on CD anyway because I like holding Warp Syphon charges for the damage

[plucky flax]

Spam f with creeping flames for more damage

[static sonnet]

I have that too, I just dont use my Ability every 30 seconds, like if it comes off cool down when im at 50% peril, I'll fight for the extra few seconds so I actually get the whole value at critical peril

[plucky flax]

Aye I mean use it when at 84% peril.

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater hey I'm getting pretty tired and might go to sleep early, we can play tomorrow perhaps

[plucky flax]

I am pretty efficient with surge staff so I can time it so it goes off cd every time and I'm ready to press f again.

[static sonnet]

I've been playing a ton on Purg staff for the first time recently, takes a second to build peril cuz gout time

[plucky flax]

Then I just spam it and don't wait until 84%.

[marble crater]

My pizza took a bit longer, sorry. Tomorrow then

[plucky flax]

Cos it's already flame staff.

[median lava]

Ahoy fellow psykers.
Sorry for a dumb question, returned to the game after 6 months - could someone tell me please if quell cancelling is a deprecated technique now or I just forgot how to do it properly?

[plucky flax]

Can't do it anymore.

They removed that mechanic.

[median lava]

That's sad. Thank you @plucky flax !

So purga ain't meta now, right?

[static sonnet]

I think Purga and trauma are

[plucky flax]

It's the strongest staff atm cos they added blaze away.

[static sonnet]

It really is a nasty blessing its so good

[median lava]

But blaze away was also the thing previously, right? Or they fixed/adjusted it somehow?

[static sonnet]

It was a thing on other guns I believe, not that staff, but it was added

[median lava]

Got it, thank you!

[verbal thistle]

added when they changed crafting

[jovial juniper]

Damn
That long ago

[marble crater]

After covid I have no concept of time anymore, I don't know how many months ago the crafting update was

[flat nexus]

You can now m1 and quell eithout losing blaze away

[round gull]

Hi siblings I want to try Scier's Grace ability but idk which blitz can combine well with it

[jovial juniper]

All of them

But in order

Assail
Smite
Brain Burst

[round gull]

Why is Brain Burst so shit? ;_;

[jovial juniper]

Under the right conditions you can get an extra 60% weakspot damage for BB

[round gull]

well yeah

But compared with the rest of the blitzs

Idk

And it's my favourite blitz

[marble crater]

BB bad
KF good

[round gull]

oh yeeee

KF is so good

It saved my ass many times

I wanna try other blitz builds that are not with BB

I'm quite tired of it

[marble crater]

Play a standard gunker build, doesn't get more different than staves than this

[round gull]

hmmmmmm maybe

[nocturne dust]

Alternatively, play voidstrike

which is gunker but staff

[patent steeple]

but wouldn't Gaze be at least quite a bit harder to get to max stacks, just because voidstrike generates enough peril that you'd hit 100% after like 1-2 full charge shots?

[jovial juniper]

The humble quell button

https://tenor.com/view/honestreaction-gif-27666449

[wraith sphinx]

shoot, quell, shoot, quell, kill enemies in melee with crack of bone, repeat

[nocturne dust]

There's a reason my ballspam build in pins has Empyric Resolve

[wraith sphinx]

I don't even use ER for my own voidstrike build

[jovial juniper]

AND solidity!?!?!?!

[nocturne dust]

You don't need to, just more effective for non-edgers

[nocturne dust]

si

[patent steeple]

idr if my ballspam build uses that...

[nocturne dust]

Is gud

Veri fun to spam balls in scriers and not instantly get kicked into warp unbound

[wraith sphinx]

sibling, let's go bowling

[nocturne dust]

https://youtu.be/zxMLVlspD1Y

[patent steeple]

darn, am 1 point short of getting ER... even if I were to run assail instead of KF, I'm still one point off...

[nocturne dust]

See pins for voidstrike build where I sacrifice a lot for ER, lol

[patent steeple]

I mean, I would only need to sacrifice either Cruel Fortune (headshots give bonus DD stacks) or Crack of Bone...

(my ballspam build is literally just gunker but with most excess points put into getting ER)

[spice oar]

Get the quell on warp kill talent and you can basically end hordes at max stacks without worry

[zenith fiber]

what keybindings do you guys use

[upper sun]

@marble crater can i spoil deathloop for u?

[wraith sphinx]

And I've rebound ping to M4 and special weapon action to M5 when I got a new mouse with mroe than 3 buttons which is super nice

[nocturne dust]

Yeah I have an extra button on my mouse for special attacks

[wraith sphinx]

I'm a little obsessive with making sure actually dangerous stuff gets pinged on time lol

[nocturne dust]

I also have another extra button I use to turn KeepSwinging on/off

[wraith sphinx]

habit I made all the way back when I played og payday

[nocturne dust]

My buddy is a c croucher, hates using CTRL

@nocturne dust u can host

Low-key I get it because my pinky sticks out too far for CTRL to be comfortable for long sessions

I’ve contemplated switching to ESDF

[analog agate]

My pinky sucks and is kinda curved. I can’t do ctrl. I do C

[zenith fiber]

I sprint with pinky

double keying is weird

[indigo plank]

I always tell people that playing Psyker requires you to mash piano chords while you play

CTRL + WASD + Space + R (Quell)

[upper sun]

my pinky is very stronk 💪

[nocturne dust]

My dad has a shortened pinky tendon. Fortunately, that family trait skips generations

[indigo plank]

Clad uses his pinky to open coconuts

I’ve seen it

I can give us something to talk about

I used to use Right Click Jump for Source games

[wraith sphinx]

Boosted by an aura or?

I dont rly.play.ogryn

[indigo plank]

They have an aura that boosts heavies yeah

Unless it was changed in the rework

[strong gulch]

I was sleeping. 😭

Did you make progress?

[wraith sphinx]

Oh!

It boosts all melee.damage

[indigo plank]

Even better holy shit lol

I thought it was just heavies

[wraith sphinx]

Nope, I'm in bed now myself, was too tired to play 😭

[indigo plank]

FGS Mk6 has a hidden horizontal light after a push, and it chains into what I think is the same horizontal heavy you get after 4 lights

Pulling a chivalry and just cleaving an entire screen of heads and watching your peril plummet is hilarious

[analog agate]

Yeah. Could be something similar. My mom has my same kind of pinky

[zenith fiber]

I cannot get the hang of dodgesliding while holding inferno staff

[upper sun]

game crashed

[nocturne dust]

yo same

[nocturne dust]

Hosting didn't help, lol

[upper sun]

ping was not helping

[zenith fiber]

do you need

to hold shift to dodgeslide

[upper sun]

i thought i hit it

[nocturne dust]

yes

I think

I don't quite remember what shift is

[zenith fiber]

I thought so but then I'm pretty sure I dodged without shift

so I'm confused now

run key

[weary idol]

no

[upper sun]

ok cant reconnect

i go eat and sleep

FUCK THIS GAME

[nocturne dust]

rip

[zenith fiber]

that makes this easier then

maybe I can get this down if I'm not holding an additional finger for no reason

[nocturne dust]

wait is shift not dodge?

To dodge slide you need to hit two keys, dodge and crouch.

whatever those happen to be on your system

[zenith fiber]

space is dodge

I think it's because I'm running out of dodges

[nocturne dust]

oh right

Yeah, try to rebind dodge away from the jump key, that's a thing a lot of players do

[warm flare]

anyone got a meme revolver build

[zenith fiber]

can you dodge forwards if it's not bound to space

[warm flare]

no

[zenith fiber]

what's the point then

just so you don't accidentally jump?

[warm flare]

my jump is set to left alt

[prime elk]

Same

[zenith fiber]

I'll do that

but yeah I don't think I like purgatus much

trauma is way more fun

(just a newbie in damnation)

[prime elk]

Purg is just boring yeah

[zenith fiber]

I'm also terrible at it

keep getting hit 'cause I can't get the mobility down while spraying

[strong gulch]

If you wiggle your spray over horde enemies back and forth quickly, they stop faster.

[north hatch]

Curios only go up to 410 right? I swear I saw someone post a pic of a 430 one but I can't remember if they had a mod

[strong gulch]

Also dodging

[nocturne dust]

they go up to 430

stats don't change after 410 tho

[north hatch]

So it's just to flex

Damn

[zenith fiber]

maybe doesn't help that I'm levelling it in mortis

[rigid sky]

more chance of getting one above the 410 floor

[strong gulch]

Oh yeah, staves tend to be bad when not highly invested into. Low stat vs high stat is night and day.

BUT inferno is still boring.

[zenith fiber]

I know, it's not super uninvested

[strong gulch]

Honestly, that's why I've been playing it more. I haven't been able to tolerated "spicier" builds and haven't been able to play this game as much as I used to.

[zenith fiber]

like 360 power with IV III blessings and 2x lv4 perks

[strong gulch]

Keep doing it. Sometimes boring is needed.

[proud frost]

i simply like watching crowds melt like hot wax

Hot wax melting is very satisfying.

[strong gulch]

There's a lot too choose from. If it's overwhelming, Agent Chaos did a vid not too long ago talking about or linking to how to get started and some recs.
https://youtu.be/WYjtkooV5t8?si=tU_C5efZSD0ybz3G

[marble crater]

He actually made a video on this?

[strong gulch]

Ye

[ivory terrace]

What other staffs could they add?

[static sonnet]

Cant wait until the Force Great Sword gets some skins

[strong gulch]

Beam
shotgun
one that levitates
one that pulls or sucks
leaves pools of SB on the ground
actual single target option
and more

give us a real special on staves too

parry staff

special could be something reactive or something that you can charge up and save

[marble crater]

"One that sucks"
You mean Voidstrike?

[strong gulch]

I was hoping someone would say something like that

but no

[ivory terrace]

As fun as those ideas are, I get the feeling the number of wizard cosplayers would sky rocket if they were added

[sweet sigil]

Heyo! build question, Anyone have a assail Venting build i can look at?

coruscation staff my beloved

Pair with bistol (bolt pistol) or VS (voidstrike) and FGS (force great sword).

[sweet sigil]

smeeet! tyty!

[strong gulch]

revolver would also work

[sweet sigil]

ngl ive been enjoying double barrel lmao

[marble crater]

Elektro staff can also work

[pliant marlin]

Trying to level my starting out Psyker on malice and got vote kicked :)

sips tea in Level 30 Ogryn with havoc clearance

[brazen rampart]

This is cursed.

I must try it.

[strong gulch]

Not as cursed as you'd think.

[brazen rampart]

I mean, it's not minmaxing assail, and that scratches my brain in an unpleasant manner.

[strong gulch]

bistol assail shirek FGS is an Agent Chaos creation

bleed assail and FGS special is still a thing too

EP assail with DD is the min max for it still

[quaint elk]

Do we dump like defences with the 2h force sword, or

Would you rather 60% warp resistance, considering we can already quell so fast

[strong gulch]

warp resist

FGS needs the mobility

[quaint elk]

Ah alright

Good to know, I kind of thought maybe so

My zealot friend is a bit of a noob and I find myself in melee more often, I think I need to try out a big sword

FGS?

[brazen rampart]

Abbreviation for greatsword.

[quaint elk]

Oh

[brazen rampart]

Force (F) Great(G)sword(S).

[jovial juniper]

Big Fragging Greatsword

[quaint elk]

So like, what perks and blessings do you like on the 2h force sword

I'm just trying it out for the first time

[brazen rampart]

I do cara unyielding shred wrath on mk8.

Mk8 is much more intuitive, I feel.

[quaint elk]

Big old cleave

[brazen rampart]

Push attack is a poke, can oneshot crushers with the right setup.

[quaint elk]

Jesus

[brazen rampart]

Can open bulwarks up to oneshots too.

[quaint elk]

I mean, guilliman

[brazen rampart]

But mk6 is definitely better when it comes to raw anti armor, it chains into a poke for one of its heavies, and that can oneshot crushers, iirc.

[quaint elk]

I was deimos'ing it

This shit is nuts

[brazen rampart]

From my usage, mk8 is the generalist model, mk6 is the staffker model.

[quaint elk]

Well I do like to zap things with critical hits

[brazen rampart]

(mk6 goes into a strikedown heavy as its draw animation which chains into its single target heavy chain, mk8 goes into a sweep as its draw animation)

[late sapphire]

i prefer the mk6 because the opening heavy is nice for onetapping small elites

[quaint elk]

Psyker 2h sword is a gateway to powers some would consider unnatural

[late sapphire]

the strikedown heavies do the same damage, mk6 poke heavy does more, and then the mk8 push attack poke does even more than that for some reason

[brazen rampart]

Saving this for later, far easier to show movesets this way.

[quaint elk]

This is great, but I guess I just have to trudge through leveling it up before the fun begins

[late sapphire]

I wish i had the autistic hyperfocus to make these for every weapon but you know how it is

[spice oar]

WARPSHOCK SLICE is a badass name for a special as well

[quaint elk]

I got the funny dodge blessing on the 2h force sword at 0 mastery

Mk 4

[brazen rampart]

Way to call Path autistic lmao.

[spice oar]

now i just need a force halberd/glaive with a charge special

[late sapphire]

I may be out of line but i'm not wrong, am i?

[plush elm]

Which maps should I go for to get the Cliffhanger penance?

Im at 4/7 required to complete

[brazen rampart]

Chasm terminus.

The opening bridge has plenty of room.

Like the assassination one.

[plush elm]

I see

[strong gulch]

See pins for cliffhanger tips

[buoyant maple]

idk I think mine are easier to read in a way

[buoyant maple]

(I'm not actually autistic lol)

[plush elm]

which pin for the cliffhanger tips?

is it in the psyker guide?

[strong gulch]

The one with builds. 2nd pin

Here #psyker-class message

[idle mesa]

Guys what would be the best boss damage build for pysker?

[brazen rampart]

Scriers + dd with infernus dumdum laspistol. Hit your headshots.

[idle mesa]

Normal las pistol?

[brazen rampart]

Laspistol has nasty finesse and crit scaling. The infernus fire stacks on top of that add insult to injury.

[brazen rampart]

Mk2.

[idle mesa]

I'll try that thanks

[brazen rampart]

If you have mods, I'd recommend getting fullauto or skitarius to save your mouse and index finger.

[plush elm]

How should I use the Voidblast Force staff?

I want to complete the mastery penance on it

[verbal thistle]

2 ways to think

is it your main killer? (are you using BB to finish single targets, or melee)

I use it like a stagger tool to set up brain burst or a melee kill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aCgA8Wm72E

I use almost 0 charge to put maulers and crusher on their feet and then only use full charge on dense/mixed hordes

[plush elm]

I want it to be like the main killer

Since I have been using Ball

And the fire staff

[verbal thistle]

then fully charge it more

[covert stump]

Does bolt pistol puncture add bleed to assauil or was that claim false?

[verbal thistle]

it does

[covert stump]

Is it worth it?

[verbal thistle]

not really

[covert stump]

Fair enough

I know it has neat interactions with other classes with the explosive radius boost, was wondering if it was viable here too

[potent echo]

bleed assail is funny

[strong gulch]

Puncture is good and helps with BPs.

[potent echo]

you should try it but i dont think its meta

[strong gulch]

Bleed on psyker isn't huge tho

[nocturne dust]

The Bleedker! The Bleedker is reeeeaaaaaaal

[strong gulch]

Puncture is meta on bistol for psyker anyways, but it's not for assail bleed meme.

[nocturne dust]

It's for FGS bleed meme

[strong gulch]

More cleave

On mobile right now, and my phone really wanted me to use the word "cleavage".

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/birds-cute-funny-animals-gif-14057044

Your phone must enjoy mineral examination a lot

[brazen warren]

mk8 fgs is my preference, I enjoy the lights more and the push attack stab is great for bulwarks

I find that I forget the special attack most of the time

partly because I dont want to explode my head

Forcing myself to play more psyker

[plucky flax]

You can cast the special even at 99% peril

On full charge its op against horde dont neglect it

[brazen warren]

the wall pen tech is also good to know

aim at friends through walls, profit

[brazen warren]

confusing ogryns with it is also a good time

no more horde to bonk, vaporized by warp magic

[wraith sphinx]

I can't really get into greatsword myself

Not just because I don't like 2h melee but because it's so damn slow too

I have to completely rethink my positioning just for the sake of using fgs else I get downed

[prime elk]

Just take warp speed

[plucky flax]

Its just skill issue dw

I do take the extra dodge tho for fgs

[wraith sphinx]

I just played with a gunker using a double-barrel shotgun. That was a first.

Also an Ogryn who did 2x anyone else's damage with a Rumbler

[wraith sphinx]

It's fun to do once in a while

[plucky flax]

Rumbler

[torn kernel]

Db gunker in mortis trials with the buff that gives you free shots on crits can get wild

Someone suggested this build for FGS melee build and it doesn’t disappoint.

[wraith sphinx]

this is pretty much my build already lol

it's not a buiild issue it's a weapon issue for me

Or is it maybe a... skill issue?

[strong gulch]

Hi

Hi

[wraith sphinx]

[strong gulch]

Hi

[wraith sphinx]

are you two up for a tide match now? 😊

[marble crater]

Maybe in an hour, I'm waiting for a parcel and need to hear the doorbell

[wraith sphinx]

🫡

I am free of my immediate uni obligations so I'm free for most of day

though I do plan on going to mow grass in the afternoon

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

silent tide

[strong gulch]

I can try playing. I'm in prodrome tho. So I'm cognitively not great.

[wraith sphinx]

Don't strain yourself then, it's okay.

[strong gulch]

kk. Prob for the best tbh

[wraith sphinx]

yes, indeed

[marble crater]

Prodrome?

[wraith sphinx]

darktide is a tad too demanding to play sick

[wraith sphinx]

I think it's a pre-sickness phase

or like an early onset of sickness symptoms?

[strong gulch]

First phase of migraine.

I should have said migraine prodrome.

[wraith sphinx]

yeah, focus on resting and recovering then, playing videogames with a migraine is not fun in the slightest

[strong gulch]

It can be really bad.

But sometimes the ADHD demands it.

[wraith sphinx]

[strong gulch]

right?

Brains fighting itself.

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah my brain is similar too

videogames or bust

Forcing myself to level up 2h force sword

[dense wolf]

my psyker progress has been going ok

[quaint elk]

I miss my stabber

[dense wolf]

havent lost my mind yet when playing

[quaint elk]

Deimos was so nice

[dense wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/caffeine-ren-me-when-the-zoomies-bunny-gif-22991327

[quaint elk]

I have the smite with empowered psionics and the electro staff, and it's actually pretty cool

Electro has a nice crit bonus

So that is pulling a lot of weight on its own

Sort of doing the vet thing killing specials

And smite is like a grenade version of flame staff

Noticing you live or die by the team's ability to hold up their end though, lol

One psyker can only do so much

So when you get one of each class it's nice, but when you get another psyker and a duplicate zealot or something, oh no

[dense wolf]

When I notice my other psyker team mate is using smite I just watch

https://tenor.com/view/mortal-kombat-mortal-kombat11-raiden-electricity-electric-gif-18728782

Literally how I see it

[quaint elk]

It's nice with the one that reduces peril generation a lot

You can get a lot out of one stack of empowered psionics, and you can stack it to 3

[dense wolf]

[quaint elk]

By getting the talent that reduces peril gen by -40% you also have to get the one that increases quell speed by 30%... we can go over to the right side a bit and get the one that costs peril instead of stamina to block below critical peril, and put deflector on the force sword

[wraith sphinx]

he carried

[quaint elk]

Lmao it is francis

[marble crater]

I forget that I don't have KD on vet and can't just run, push and block without issues

[wraith sphinx]

[dense wolf]

holy shit

[wraith sphinx]

I know that feeling

[quaint elk]

Maybe vet will get the assault shield

I'd be surprised if they don't

[marble crater]

I'm ready for another

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater I'm gonna troll on ogryn now

[quaint elk]

Trollgryn

[marble crater]

Ok

[quaint elk]

Who took all the rashuns

[wraith sphinx]

q us up 🫡

[quaint elk]

How should I bless the 2h force sword

Executor sounds like a cinch

I guess that and deflector

Although it can get uncanny strike too

[nocturne dust]

I wouldn't count on it

[quaint elk]

Slaughterer too damn

[nocturne dust]

wat

no

fgs doesn't have uncanny or slaughterer

that's 1-handed force sword

[quaint elk]

Aw

I was looking at the wrong sword

[nocturne dust]

and small sword does indeed take uncanny + slaughterer (or deflector)

[nocturne dust]

yeah, FGS' blessings are way less OP

[quaint elk]

[nocturne dust]

instead, FGS just has good base stats

no need for good blessings when the weapon is good

[quaint elk]

Momentum honestly sounds nice to have

Hit 3 enemies, gain toughness

[nocturne dust]

Only thing it lacks is cleave and mobility

[quaint elk]

Are you telling me a greatsword lacks cleave

Fatshark you've done it again

[dense wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/779424458238459946/1381244430392098937/tenor_71.gif

[nocturne dust]

Maybe I'd take it if it was anything like Oggie's +toughness on bonk. A requirement of three just feels eh.

[dense wolf]

doink

[nocturne dust]

It has wrath tho

and you have warp splitting too

so you have solutions

[quaint elk]

Well I guess the idea is you can use the special beam to hit 3 guys most of the time

[nocturne dust]

[quaint elk]

Doesn't it go through walls

Or am I tweakin

[nocturne dust]

Actually that's a really good point, I haven't tested if the ranged special triggers momentum

[nocturne dust]

it does, yeah

[quaint elk]

Just needs to hit 3 enemies of any kind I think

[nocturne dust]

Technically, all melee goes through walls, lol

[quaint elk]

That's an insane fact

[nocturne dust]

Walls are suggestions

[quaint elk]

I wouldn't have figured

[nocturne dust]

Normal blessings for FGS are wrath/shred/riposte, but anything is acceptable as long as you don't take tranquility, blazing spirit, or warp slice

Those 3 have zero uses

[quaint elk]

Alright cleave on hit makes up for a lot of psyker's weakness in melee

I weave it in between smite when I need to and hitting more enemies is cool

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater ggs, I will take a break now. I will probably be around to play again in the evening if you want

[marble crater]

Sure, I also need to finish Cyberpunk so I can delete it and start BG3 no space left on the Xbox
Maybe we will finish your penance later

[wraith sphinx]

yessir 🫡

[upper sun]

you still havent?

😠 why did you even download deathloop if you have literal KINO on hold

[marble crater]

I burned myself out at some point and then Clair Obscure released so I played that

But now I only have a few DLC missions and the last story mission left and then I can start BG3

[upper sun]

i told you do the missions stop running around in circles

how much time do you have on it?

[marble crater]

I did do the missions, all of them

[upper sun]

and the dlc?

[marble crater]

122h now

[upper sun]

yeah sounds about right

i have 130

i did everything and all the endings

i was pretty efficient tho

[marble crater]

I will just watch the other endings on YouTube

[upper sun]

did you do the secret one?

[marble crater]

I didn't do any yet

[upper sun]

😭

did you do the dlc?

[marble crater]

In the DLC I just finished the mission where I ||had to decide between betraying Songbird or Reed|| so I have 3 or 4 more to go

[upper sun]

do you have the unique wepaon mod?

[marble crater]

Then a few short side missions, 2 gigs and final main story mission

[marble crater]

From crafting with the chimera core? I'm using the core as decoration, because none of my weapons have mod slots

[upper sun]

ye keep that thing

the weapon mod it makes is fucking broken and the only way i could finish the secret ending

if you can save up for a REALLY good lmg and put it on it

other two/one slot(s) can be whatever you want

[marble crater]

I have 800k eddies

This was pretty funny

[quaint elk]

On the 2h force sword, it's like 1 light attack then 1 heavy and repeat for the side to side slashes right

[marble crater]

Mk6 is just lights with pushing or weapon swapping and mk8 is just lights all day long

[quaint elk]

I notice it does almost 500 to the body strikedown, with the down slashes I guess

Nice

Not really actively seeking melee but I think it isn't too bad at killing things near you

I think duelling sword with agile would be more my speed, haha

DeadVoid was right about the base stats, it has bad blessings but is already a good weapon by itself

[marble crater]

If you want a melee that can do everything then greatsword is the way to go

[blissful solar]

start cyberpunk, walk 3 feet, mess with mods, game crashes

[plucky flax]

It's dem giggle physics.

#psyker-class message

Not even one build, but multiple

[upper sun]

cyberpunk is perfectly fine without mods

the only mods i used were removable mod slots and uhhhhh the online shopper one

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/2358?tab=description
the dev that descided to remove this from the game should have their favorite mug broken

[brazen compass]

I like the one that you can open a computer anywhere and the stock market mod

[upper sun]

ye thats the one i used as well

[marble crater]

You don't need that anymore, I installed and removed different mods yesterday to compare the sights

[upper sun]

im gonna cry

[upper sun]

sights are always removable not other mods tho

[marble crater]

I see, I will test this

[upper sun]

how do u not know

[marble crater]

Yesterday was also the first time I tried mods

[upper sun]

how did you play for 122 hours without using weapon mods

[marble crater]

Most of the weapons I used never had any slots, so they are totally useless to me this playthrough

Expecting me to engage with all the systems in a game is a bit much

[upper sun]

dawg its 2 clicks

[dusty wagon]

There are downloadable mods for weapons?

Does that follow ToS?

[marble crater]

Cyberpunk mods for weapons, they are already in the game

[brazen compass]

I don't like the guns of 2077 so I use knives and katanas

[dusty wagon]

Oh, Cyberpunk. I thought we were talking about Darktide...

Cyberpunk knife thrower is OP

[jovial juniper]

For DT there's weapon customization

It's not stable

But exists

[marble crater]

It's true

[dusty wagon]

Is that skins or actual parts?

[upper sun]

1. its a single player game
2. yeah

were talking about cyberpunk 2077 btw

[dusty wagon]

Yeah, I know that now. I sent a message saying the same thing but I thought you were talking about Darktide.

[upper sun]

IM SORRY BUT HOW WAS THIS NOT A DODGE

[jovial juniper]

Actual parts iirc

Can change sights

Put flashlights

Although other players won't see it

Ive tried it, but that removes the particles completely

I aint about that, I want to reduce the amount

I like seeing the fire leaving my hand

[jovial juniper]

Custom Flames?

[analog agate]

One of the most disappointing aspects in this game is when I see a TH zealot in pubs. I think “Nice at least I don’t have to worry about bosses”. Then they inevitably don’t have Thrust, slaughterer, or headtaker. Then I get sad

[plucky flax]

Trust no one

[prime elk]

not even yourself

[dense wolf]

Trust us

[wraith sphinx]

Just do everything yourself

[pliant marlin]

trying to level psyker is painful..

[plucky flax]

Use assails

[warm flare]

ai director decided to throw you the one way you wouldntg survive

[patent steeple]

btw, I think Cavalcade and Inspiring might be the best combo on the Shredder for gunker or meleeker (potentially even better than pairing Inspiring with either Pinning or BA)

my reasoning is simple: nearly constant crits + Gaze + DD = bigger damage buff than Pinning, and (maybe) at least slightly higher damage per shot compared to BA (BA buffs all shots, yes, but non-crit shots are much, much worse at base than crit shots, especially on guns like Shredder)

and using Cavalcade instead of BA or Pinning gives more uptime for EE and the Mettle movespeed buff.

[wraith sphinx]

Yah I use both those blessings
Esp since I really only run shredder for brainburst gunker so I'm trying to guarantee a kf proc when firing

[patent steeple]

I use shredder on FGS meleeker, because I can, if the situation calls for it, back up a bit and shoot at ragers to get my toughness back easier without needing to swap to assail...

[plucky flax]

Recon lasgun superiority.

[patent steeple]

(assail's animations are a bit clunky due to input lag, or at least what I think is input lag)

[plucky flax]

Or mk2 laspistol.

[patent steeple]

nah, I dislike clickspamming at that high frequency... (I prefer the full-auto guns)

also, shredder has Inspiring, so its safer to fire at shooter groups than Recon...

[plucky flax]

Fair.

Recon is very accurate though so you can get permanent ee very easily.

With huge mag size too so it lasts even longer.

[analog agate]

I love the laspistol

[dense wolf]

the humble laspistol

[wraith sphinx]

Laspistol is the least used on my gunker, I'm tired of the clickspam

[hollow current]

[plucky flax]

Did they change anything?

It fires super fast to me still (mk2)

[plucky flax]

Use full auto mod brah

[upper sun]

noooo hurt your fingers 😠

[hollow current]

back around patch 13 they fixed it. before you could spam click and shoot faster than the listed ROF.

[plucky flax]

I already used fullauto mod by then so not sure if that was faster rof or not.

It's ammo inefficient as is I don't want to waste more ammo. 😄

[rigid sky]

huh, is that the disadvantage of laspistol vs ilas then? I know nobody bothers with ilas any more because recon eats its lunch, but was wondering about it from the other direction

[plucky flax]

Ye if you shoot it a lot it chews through ammo.

[hollow current]

I will eat ALL of the ammo pickups and my team will suffer for it.

[plucky flax]

I prefer recon cos it's a lot more efficient.

[weak sierra]

kinda yeah
pistol has less ammo but its more mobile

[plucky flax]

Infantry lasgun though is just sad now.

Poop mobility. Super bad hipfire.

[analog agate]

It used to fire faster

[plucky flax]

Slow fire rate too.

There's the fast firing infantry las but it shoots weaker than mk2 laspistol. D:

[hollow current]

MK IV

I haven't touched that gun in almost three years.

[plucky flax]

Buy shotgun stocks tho

It's gonna stonk with dlc.

[wraith sphinx]

Maybe I will mate

[plucky flax]

Tbh the fire shotty is good.

Just need a lot more ammo.

[wraith sphinx]

Agreed

[buoyant maple]

fire shotgun is the worst one of the 3

[open crag]

It is so not good, I've tried hard to make it good but it just sucks. They need to make the special ammo do burning in addition to normal DMG, not in place of normal dmg.

[buoyant maple]

dmg falls off a cliff after 10m

[prime elk]

The special shot needs to apply six stacks as long as one pellet hits

It's so ass rn

[warped perch]

Gun psyker hurts me

[open crag]

I actually like the slug shotgun, it has a very high skillcap if you can click heads with the iron sights, and the crowd control shotgun does exactly what it's intended to do

[prime elk]

Slug is ok though basically a worse revolver

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater @plucky flax @upper sun hi, wanna play auric maelstrom together?

[prime elk]

I'd rather use DB over lawbringer

[plucky flax]

Hi sir I don't want to play too much on my laptop.

Just chilling and feining.

Also today is super hot I don't want to make my laptop run at 90+ degree Xd

[wraith sphinx]

understood, chill on 🫡

[plucky flax]

Idling watching stuff and browsing temperature lol

[rigid sky]

Anyone fuck with vigilant autogun much on gunker?

you'd think they'd be a great option too

for a more plinky, less dakka psyker

[wraith sphinx]

it's pretty eh

[open crag]

Db is def better but I really like lawbringer for fun some times because [ ] is such a funny shape for a cross hair

[wraith sphinx]

I have been using it though, lemme check ingame rq

[rigid sky]

would imagine you'd want the semi-auto one

[marble crater]

I can later, dinner and walk dog first still

[wraith sphinx]

understood sah

I will be around for several hours so no rush

[blissful solar]

average laptop experience

[plucky flax]

Ye I hate laptop might build a portable PC at some point.

[wraith sphinx]

@rigid sky this is the one I use

[rigid sky]

2 bullet burst hipster, huh

the hipster mark of the hipster weapon category

love it

[wraith sphinx]

the single shot mark didn't feel as good and the 3 round burst mark has too punshing recoil to be enjoyable

[wraith sphinx]

yeah I get bored with meta weapons sometimes

[summer timber]

what curios do u guys run with gunker usually

rn i using double 17 toughness and 3 stam and doing fine, but wanna see what others run

[wraith sphinx]

3 toughness, and nothing more

t. Acheran

[rigid sky]

I like a health on psyker

otherwise poxbursters are too punishing

[summer timber]

isn't health mid now?

[rigid sky]

so I go rainbow toughness/health/stamina

[wraith sphinx]

I used to run health but found it way too icky compared to toughness

[summer timber]

since most buffs affect toughness

[rigid sky]

I specifically take one only for the poxburster survival

I hate that I have it

[wraith sphinx]

poxbursters are rarely an issue for me even with randoms and getting staggerlocked from hploss is just death most of the time

[rigid sky]

but I hate being 2-shot to death by poxbursters from full HP more

[summer timber]

with this i run +5% health on all my curious too so im running with +15% Health as well

[rigid sky]

maybe I should take health perks instead, good point

or a corruption resistance perk

idk, need to experiment with different configurations to reach that breakpoint

but it's really worth it for me to hit it at least, because apparently I particularly suck at avoiding poxbursters compared to the rest of my play

[summer timber]

i used to have a friend who would discourage me from taking perks that rely on failure/user error since (in aperfect world) you should never make mistakes the more experienced you get

[rigid sky]

In general I agree, but curios are defensive anyway

[summer timber]

so for me, corruption resistance is good when dealing with pox-gas or more pox-bursters, but if you play right you shouldn't be getting a significant amount of corruption to the point where it outpaces medicae stations and med stim spawns

[rigid sky]

like another option could have been for me to take an extra wound

but that's even more leaning into failure

[summer timber]

true, and at the end of the day its whatever you'd rather run

[rigid sky]

and often enabling more suicidal plays can be a great choice - like, Until Death isn't only a crutch

it's like holmgang from ff14

[summer timber]

and not even saying corruption resistance is a bad perk to take because out of all of them its probably one of the better ones

[rigid sky]

Corruption out of nowhere does fuck you up sometimes

you gotta know what hazards you specifically suck at

[summer timber]

like i take CDR on my curios and even tho i know it really doesnt do that much but i still like having my Ult up ASAP

[summer timber]

true, but i feel like i only feel like this when i accidentally step into Karnak twin mine or silent poxburster sneaks up on me

[rigid sky]

I'm still only at havoc 30 and that's honestly beyond my limits already for now, until I can play again some more more consistently

and at that point a common death for me is just accumulating a shitton of corruption very rapidly from seemingly out of nowhere

but on the typical casual auric maelstrom shit, just being more poxburster resilient is the biggest boost for my chances to not randomly eat shit and die

[summer timber]

yeah im the same way, havoc 30 is my sweet spot for difficulty and gameplay

but yeah sometimes it is just random BS you die to

I know some people take bomber curios because bomber spam can be ridiculous

or gunners because they can destroy ur toughness

i was just curious what main stats ppl were taking since i wasnt sure if i should build towards being more tanky or just keep my +3 stam curio

i think im gonna keep my stam curio tho cuz i like being able to zip around with SG

[rigid sky]

Gunner resistance is essential

Stamina curio lets you revive under almost any pressure with kinetic deflection at least

but then again, kinetic deflection kinda lets you do that anyway

it scales super well with stamina, but it might already be well beyond the "good enough" threshold

imo, every class should have 3 curios with gunner res and 5% toughness, the negotiable bit is the blessing and the other perk

[summer timber]

is kinetic deflection tied to your stamina? i just thought it converted damage values in peril

[summer timber]

my thing with gunner resistance is if you have good mobility and can slide spam well, you probably dont need it

since sliding negates all range damage

[rigid sky]

The scaling of that is dependent on your stamina

the more stamina you have, the less peril it costs to block

[summer timber]

hm interesting, i never noticed that

i guess cuz i have the +3 stam lol

[weak sierra]

The exact opposite is true in my experience, because in havoc even the random-ass shooter guys are just as annoying as gunners. So it's better to take something with more general utility, like extra toughness and ability cooldown.

[young cliff]

question: how much rending uncanny strike should top of to not be as busted as it currently is?

[verbal thistle]

0

Rending should not be in this game

But it's far too late

[buoyant maple]

20%, melee rending

[verbal thistle]

Difficulty is now tied to the balancing on how much rending does

[plucky flax]

Tru I run zero gunner resistance on psyker.

[verbal thistle]

And now it's a death spiral

[plucky flax]

With resistance I die in 0.3s. without 0.2s. So I can't react anyway. Xd

[young cliff]

that...doesnt feel as bad as i was expecting (10%) what is the logic behind it?

[buoyant maple]

melee rending means it'll only interact with melee weapon's attacks (won't change DoT)
20% is pretty reasonable
not too much, but enough to change bad ADMs to be decent

basically an attack with 80% ADM becomes 100%

which is alr imo

[young cliff]

and that way infernus can kill the hordes without really making caparace irrelevant, make sense

[buoyant maple]

wat infernus

melee doesn't have infernus

[young cliff]

dumb brain still call infernus to the fire staff, even when i know there are blessings that have that name, sry

[prime elk]

Boooo

I want it to impact DOTs

[young cliff]

but it will still erase anything non caparace

quite fast

[buoyant maple]

ok 2%/stack, 5 stacks, same rending

so up to 10%

[prime elk]

@wraith sphinx

[wraith sphinx]

[marble crater]

Okay, 10 more minutes of Cyberpunk progress

[marble crater]

No, side quest, I need to finish the game

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater let us spin the wheel of ASS fate

[marble crater]

Will be another 5 minutes, I got a call 🙄

[wraith sphinx]

[plucky flax]

Sut's secret identity

[wraith sphinx]

thank you 👼

@marble crater do you think he will make an angry reddit post about me

[marble crater]

Possibly

[wraith sphinx]

[marble crater]

And I might make one about the Vet who stands next to the pinged heal and then... Just walks away with 30% health

[wraith sphinx]

ah, another constant of playing with pubs

same with people who shoot a lot, but never look around for ammo and ignore pinged ammo

[marble crater]

One last one

[wraith sphinx]

I agree!

Let's commence forth
