psyker-class

[marble crater]

How much do you have to die to trigger that, jeez

[wraith sphinx]

you have to get downed like 4-5 times in a short succesion I think

everyone has a form of that remark for a specific class that keeps going down

[marble crater]

That explains why I never heard it then

[wraith sphinx]

for example the savant psyker tells veteran to "alter their tactics towards staying upright"

[ripe obsidian]

Well, my build seems to perform pretty well in H40. Good defense, good offense. The other Arbiter outdamaged me, but their build was pretty ranged-oriented as opposed to my melee one.

[wraith sphinx]

nice

I'm running dogless and it's very fun

[ripe obsidian]

I am running doggo build. Haven't tried dogless in havoc yet

[wraith sphinx]

also has anyone else noticed they changed the comms pic for sister hestia

she no longer awkwardly stares directly at the camera like a boomer trying to facetime

[marble crater]

About time

[ripe obsidian]

There's only like a 3 node difference between doggo and dogless builds

[marble crater]

The previous picture was bad

[wraith sphinx]

yeah lmao

hilarious in an unintentional way too

[marble crater]

Uglier model of her too

[wraith sphinx]

I mean it's the mourningstar crew, I don't expect anyone to look pretty

[marble crater]

I do, you are telling me that guy can change my gender but can't make people pretty?

[wraith sphinx]

um yeah it's called WARhammer not prettyhammer

[marble crater]

[verbal thistle]

Wait

Rinda sticker

[tulip kettle]

after our discussion yesterday i made this

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f405d19-ba47-4c7d-ae9a-ab2ecaaa533d/sicc-em-boy

did pretty well for me last night, kind of unkillable honestly

this was in havoc 30s

[minor wedge]

Okay so for the first time in months, i broke my principle

After one more team that had a massive breakdown at the breaker switch part of the maelstrom

I went smiker

and suddenly it fucking works

...

I feel dirty now

[tulip kettle]

man dont hate on smite fo real

[minor wedge]

Its okay. But its super crutchy

[tulip kettle]

kind of

but at the same time, only if you use it that way

there is literally nothing wrong with smite

just a stigma because of bad players who use it

guns dont kill people. people kill people.

and now the arby exists, smite is even more so a legit team based choice

oh, you do +200% damage to shocked and stunned enemies?

[nocturne dust]

always has been

[tulip kettle]

allow me to introduce myself

[minor wedge]

Dunno man. Smiker feels... off... to use. Like. Yeah, its okay. But at the same time I shouldn't have to stunlock an entire room for a mission to work

even if its auric maelstrom

[tulip kettle]

yeah so dont

kill em instead

smite is useful for a quick 2 second blast to make space and throw everything out the way

[minor wedge]

Did that earlier on my other classes ^^ 5 failed attempts due to all my team dieing in the breaker room and me getting overwhelmed later

[tulip kettle]

then straight back to killing

[minor wedge]

So i just held the fuckin tide at bay this time and it works

I just wanted to get this stupid maelstrom done anyway, ngl.

Not the enclavum baros but the ice metalfab one

That was pure pain.

I usualy run traumastaff ds

[potent echo]

Don't hate on smite unless said psyker isn't running EP smite

[marble crater]

People don't hate on smite, we hate on smykers, big difference

[minor wedge]

Yep.

[potent echo]

Smhkers

[minor wedge]

Which is why it felt super dirty to have to crutch that earlier. Now to clense my palete with some good old flamepsyker

And then back to trauma

:3

[marble crater]

Just play blaze trauma and skip a step

[minor wedge]

Funnily enough thats what im running ^^

But i have 2 distinctly different builds

[potent echo]

If I ever encounter smykers I just run past the enemies they are smiting

[marble crater]

[minor wedge]

Bro....

what is this today

Auric maelstrom, warren 6-19

2 rushers sprint ahead and get ABSOLUTELY shat on

queue the other 2 of us being left to deal with everything

[marble crater]

Sounds perfectly normal for this time

[plucky flax]

Shock mine op for boss fighting

[summer prairie]

Around 24% companion damage in those two rounds + dog explosions maybe 78k

[tulip kettle]

shock dog and bistol OP for boss fighting 🙂

just did an auric mortis and got 800k boss dmg with it

[summer prairie]

it's a good mod

[nocturne dust]

I've been given too much power

[plucky flax]

I think ovenproof not counting the full dog damage

Don't think it's counting the electric

[summer prairie]

not sure which version you are using

your voltaic node damgae is included in your melee damage

[plucky flax]

Oh there's new update

[summer prairie]

I don't know about that

I just know how it works

[plucky flax]

Is the psyker damage fix?

[summer prairie]

there's no new version

but I know internally it's melee damage

so without a fix it's included in melee

[plucky flax]

New version on nexus today

At 1051

[summer prairie]

oh new beta yeah

[minor wedge]

Oh

OH

I just got Atomas elite guard

WOO!

[summer prairie]

Voltaic mandibles uses a melee damage template, hence it being counted as melee

it's the same effect as the old shock maul

[plucky flax]

I changed something my game is now smooth 60+ fps from choppy 30fps on laptop

[marble crater]

What's that again?

[summer prairie]

are you still eating

[plucky flax]

I am heading back

[nocturne dust]

wat do

[summer prairie]

are you playing at work

[plucky flax]

I dont know it's fartshart optimisation

Ye im stuck at work this weekend. Will go home tomorrow after lunch

[wraith sphinx]

man I think I need to stop playing arbites and go back to psyker

this class is making me so incredibly careless

[plucky flax]

I get 1 extra free day leave for working half day Saturday

[minor wedge]

maelstrom without anyone gettinf downed

[plucky flax]

I think most probably is change dlss from balanced to performance

[nocturne dust]

same

[marble crater]

[nocturne dust]

Pretty sure I have that off

[summer prairie]

According to Kuli this is how the dog bleed is supposed to be applied, so it's not even supposed to apply to the pounced target (but sometimes it does)

[plucky flax]

If you have nvidia you should use dlss

[nocturne dust]

Turned it on

Looks awful

[upper sun]

isnt the range higher?

[nocturne dust]

Turned it off

good ole AI crap

[upper sun]

based AI slop hater

[nocturne dust]

Oh hey, Darktide did turn on the stupid 'low latency' nvidia reflex thing tho

I turned it off

Feels like lower latency already

[marble crater]

Just turn your PC off at this point

[potent echo]

Actually true

[nocturne dust]

The outside does tend to have the highest FPS

[wraith sphinx]

I use xess set to balanced

[potent echo]

I have the peak mixed AI slop with dlss upscaler but FSRFG

[tulip kettle]

man outside is like 23fps at best

fuck that

[plucky flax]

@summer prairie cheat mod for you
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/550

[summer prairie]

No thanks, yikes

[plucky flax]

I actually like swapping manually so won't need this.

I swap before blitz normally.

[summer prairie]

I want to run new stuff anyway and that's a bit too op anyway

[plucky flax]

Latest ovenproof patch still have psyker bug damage.

[wraith sphinx]

yikes

[plucky flax]

I dunno what I'm doing but it looks cool doing shield special walking up to shooter.

Syllo wanna get carried in h40 by karien?

She said I'm too heavy alone.

[marble crater]

Arbites is the bully class

[plucky flax]

Also the charge ability looks so much cooler with shield.

[marble crater]

Karien can carry even better now, the dog doesn't suffer from high ping

[deft stump]

WDYM? I'm on my Zealot. My Arbites don't even have half decent curios unless you count 1 20 and 2 19 HP to be okay.

[marble crater]

You don't need decent curios to carry

[deft stump]

Why don't you carry me then?

[marble crater]

I'm not good enough

[summer prairie]

what, you 2 want to play?

[marble crater]

Me? No

[summer prairie]

Karien/Agent

[gray juniper]

It’s crazy how Tommy richman did the retro Memphis sound so well that the music legit sounds so old

[marble crater]

@upper sun you are in Budapest right?

[upper sun]

ye

[marble crater]

I have a friend who will visit next month, any recommendations for food and what he should visit?

[upper sun]

gimmie a bit ill dm you

[marble crater]

Thank you

[upper sun]

most important bit of advice tho

dont pay more than 5000 forint for a bag

[marble crater]

I don't know what that means, but I will tell him

[upper sun]

weed

[marble crater]

I see

[plucky flax]

[deft stump]

THIS IS JUST GASLIGHT MAINS.

Also, are those two from here as well or summthing?

[ocean turret]

why is a backpack stuck on my psyker even though it's unequipped? ;_;

[marble crater]

Who two?

[plucky flax]

No the oggy is from #vox-lfg-emea

Xevra is my boi

@flat nexus

[marble crater]

It's for the people you have to carry

[deft stump]

Ah. So someone you run the hell with, I assume? XD

And yes, I feel so spoiled on Arbites... Run funni stam, tanky, run funni HP, overkill unless the worst of worst... Zealot feels like paper now.

[plucky flax]

@summer prairie 193k doggo damage if it's not counting the dog's electric then easily like 220k or more.

[marble crater]

Praise the doggo

[plucky flax]

I might enjoy dog with shield more than shock maul now.

It's very safe.

For dogless shock maul is king.

[deft stump]

I know. And if you run impact, just bully everything like big man.

[plucky flax]

The damage is just too absurd.

I don't see why impact when everything is staggered already.

Unless it can stagger monsters.

[deft stump]

2 hit crusher fails about.

[flat nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-fern-beyond-journeys-end-macdonald-burgers-gif-10253262265477048425

[marble crater]

I use shield + maul and shield + pistol, because it's just cool

If I play the police brutality class, I will do it right

[deft stump]

But requires all the full stacks though.

[minor wedge]

That gif is adorable

[plucky flax]

I like shield pistol for cool factor but the damage is kinda poopy.

[deft stump]

It's more, bully a horde of crushers spamming push l1 l2, push l1 l2.

[plucky flax]

Me and you bois night out.

I like how you did nearly 20k boss damage karien.

Tru carry.

[deft stump]

I just chorused bosses.

What you do you want me to do?

[plucky flax]

I'm praising.

[deft stump]

Ask FS to rework Chorus so you can still attack channeling it?

[flat nexus]

its the ogryn that did all the work

[marble crater]

Play arby with the floatin eye thing

[flat nexus]

without his skull crusher i wont be doing like 210% more dmg to bosses that have the skull crusher debuff + soften them up + taunt

[plucky flax]

The oggy wasn't ready for karien.

He was like 'wtf'

[flat nexus]

i had to turn her down to 50% since i can hear static noise

[marble crater]

Might have been the fan, it's hot over there

[deft stump]

No. Fan was off.

I turned it off for H40.

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

Unless you mean the extra fans for the PC.

Those go into overdrive on Darktide.

[marble crater]

Agent is also your fan and yet you flame him when he praises you

[deft stump]

Wot.

[flat nexus]

not the fans, its just when you speak there is an electric static

[deft stump]

Because what damage? I'm there to just chorus and nothing more.

[deft stump]

I wonder if it's the wires in the PC being karked now.

[plucky flax]

Is tru I burn everytime.

[cobalt wraith]

there's not much on gameslantern... can anyone recommend a havoc build?

[plucky flax]

Easiest is burga with bubble.

Take kf from bb.

Spam shield spam flame.

But with so many arbies running around now might be better to play a melee/gun build.

[cobalt wraith]

what the hell is a burga. and a kf. and a bb.

[plucky flax]

Because they won't stay still for you to flame the horde.

[marble crater]

Inferno staff, Kinetic Flayer, Brain Burst

[deft stump]

I think it's just PC dying and the electrical static is from the ports.

[cobalt wraith]

you mean kinetic presence?

[gray juniper]

Inferno staff, linectic flayer and brain burst

[marble crater]

No I mean kinetic flayer

[plucky flax]

[cobalt wraith]

oh nvm i see now

[summer prairie]

in my previous run voltaic mandibles did 180k, companion 156k

I was making it jump between targets constantly though

[plucky flax]

Wot that's quite a lot

Power di give breakdown of the electric talent?

[deft stump]

Yeah, echo cancellation is just not working on Discord.

I dunno, I hear it when I turn off echo cancellation for like Steam.

[lunar marsh]

Any hints on a new psyker player ?

[deft stump]

Assail best friend when lvling. If you are that new.

[lunar marsh]

Okay, i'll try !

Thanks a lot

[deft stump]

Just don't blow up using it all.

[summer prairie]

the voltaic damage shows up under melee if you make it show attack templates

in power di

[plucky flax]

Yo change high voltage to execution. It works better against monsters.

[summer prairie]

I've both

they both buff voltaic too so

[plucky flax]

Not running relentless strike?

[summer prairie]

confident or relentless?

[plucky flax]

Execution relentless.

With dogless I don't need confident strike.

Cos the right keystone gives toughness gen pretty good.

[summer prairie]

this is a dog build, high voltage executioner, undecided whether the monster damage from relentless is better

than buffing everything else and voltaic

[plucky flax]

Oh yeah with dog then high voltage for sure.

50% power kinda big when fighting monsters.

If you don't miss. Xd

Execituion high voltage the better play tbh.

More damage against everything.

[deft stump]

I think you just shock things hitting them.

I get extra damage on my second cycle through. Push light light, push light light.

[plucky flax]

You have to stagger it, which is super easy to do.

[lunar marsh]

I'm just level 1

So it's basically a mind explosion stuff

[plucky flax]

I'm testing atm without any impact talent. Without staggering they won't get electrocuted.

[deft stump]

I have hammerblow, I know.

[lunar marsh]

So i just have to play it to change the type of psyker power?

[deft stump]

Maulers kiss the floor.

[plucky flax]

You are pro you know everything.

[deft stump]

Yes, first 3 lvls suck.

[lunar marsh]

Sorry if I sound like a noob, haven't played any class except Zealoth

[deft stump]

.-. I don't. I just mess around with things because impact funny.

I don't even know if bistol dog bomb works in havoc.

[lunar marsh]

As other weapons i got a Bolter handgun and the basic sword

Do i need to change as well ?

[deft stump]

Just run through and hope teammates can help till you get assail, then you use it till you get high enough.

[plucky flax]

Why would it not?

[deft stump]

As in, the breakpoints.

That thing kills alot on auric.

[plucky flax]

It sure does.

I used it earlier with you.

[deft stump]

Oh, so you did try it.

It's just run saving in aurics tbh.

Even if I hold my bistol like a statstick.

[plucky flax]

You don't even know what i played.

[deft stump]

I only know Arbites.

Checking weapons need another button press.

Also, I have DLSS off and no FPS whatsoever. XD

Some ppl say better to turn it off so tried.

Honestly, I think the smears for twice the fps might be worth it.

[deft stump]

Also, tbh, I saw a shotgun and nothing more.

[plucky flax]

Why dlss off?

[deft stump]

More stable framerates.

Less smear so I can actually see.

It made inferno more berable.

Still blinded if one colour filter, but can't do much about that.

[summer prairie]

did another very long and painful run, 208k companion, 214k voltaic mandibles

even dog explosion was 186k and I don't use it very well still

[plucky flax]

Go 2 arbies 1 dog one no

Put skullcrusher on the shield.

[deft stump]

Also, I could see better on last wound than I ever did the rest of my DT playtime. I just forgot how to Zealot tbh.

[marble crater]

Just don't be on the last wound, smh

[deft stump]

You play zealot after like a week of Arbites.

I keep trying to block ranged shots.

[marble crater]

You can't block ranged shots with zealot

[deft stump]

That's the problem.

[marble crater]

Why do you try it then?

[deft stump]

Arbites muscle memory.

[marble crater]

Hasn't even been a week, smh

[plucky flax]

She is built different.

You're playing dt she's playing brightide.

[deft stump]

You mean smeartide.

[marble crater]

I'm playing sleep deprivation

[plucky flax]

Is it too hot?

[deft stump]

I haven't slept for like... a day and uhhh...16 hours?

[upper sun]

sleeps overrated

[marble crater]

Hot and my dog keeps waking me hours before I need to

[plucky flax]

This is why dogless build exist.

[upper sun]

have u tried sleeping earlier

[summer prairie]

Nuncio-aquila currently gives 70% toughness DR rather than 30% with the node

[deft stump]

You have naughty doggo then.

[upper sun]

ur dog is too scared to act out

[deft stump]

Which would explain alot then.

[marble crater]

Yes, she woke me up even earlier

[deft stump]

I drop that thing and lul

[marble crater]

She is in heat and wants to go outside

[deft stump]

My lil gal just scoots under my bed.

[deft stump]

Oh. Carrot lost hers due to... bad infection from... r.

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

Yeah.

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater happened again lmao

[plucky flax]

I got the camo dawg

[wraith sphinx]

nice

[deft stump]

The eyes don't glow sadly if it's the stun bosses one.

[deft stump]

Is why she gets aggressive around male dogs tbh.

[marble crater]

Well that's fair

[deft stump]

Even dogs 5 times her size.

[stone anchor]

One day boys
One day we will be the best class

One day we will allow the warp to consume us and only then will the emperor listen to us

Maybe we should become one with heresy

In order to obtain greater power over the ogryns and arbi

[gray juniper]

Subjugate the classes and put them under boot of the power of the warp

[deft stump]

I see you want more knowledge.

[wraith sphinx]

430 power trinket
it's +1 wounds
thank you Melk!

[marble crater]

Congrats

[deft stump]

On Zealot at least to show off when Martyrdoming?

[wraith sphinx]

YES

we are so back

[marble crater]

My psyker only uses 430 rating curios, I'm not a peasant

[marble crater]

Nice

[stone anchor]

Does rating even matter

[wraith sphinx]

yes for stamina curios

you can't get a +3 stamina curio unless it's above 400 rating

[stone anchor]

Ah

But like for weapons does it matter

[wraith sphinx]

oh yeah it matters big time

[stone anchor]

I have 80 on most of my weapons cuz I rerolled

All characters r maxed out

[wraith sphinx]

the bigger the power rating the close to the maximum modifier value you are for the primary stats

[stone anchor]

Ahh ok

Ty for telling me

[wraith sphinx]

np

[gray juniper]

Wow remember us when you’re famous

[deft stump]

You can get one, but it's a fake. Best to tell them that tbh.

[gray juniper]

Why be abhuman when you can be a demigod?

[gray juniper]

I’ve never seen a 430 curio lmao 😭

[deft stump]

Because he plays 4D chess.

[marble crater]

So sad

[deft stump]

Your mind can't comprehend it.

[gray juniper]

M’lord

[gray juniper]

Epsilon level psyker

[deft stump]

Uhhh... I'm either a blunt or dunno, something something Tzeentch sorc but Slaaneshi.

There's a reason why if anyone knew my old OC, much reeeeeeeeeeee to be had.

Chaos Sister but Tzeentch awakened sorcerer but actually Slaaneshi.

[plucky flax]

Shock mine op

[summer prairie]

do you push attack crushers

[plucky flax]

No heavy light is better.

[summer prairie]

lazy

[plucky flax]

But there was mixed horde so I wanted to cleave it too.

If the dreg rager nearby might get clipped.

Ritual is too hellish with pugs.

[deft stump]

Is just smite but does damage.

[summer prairie]

it lets enemies come closer so less annoying

[deft stump]

So you are saying easier to carry me?

[potent echo]

what is the giant cleave text that appears

[plucky flax]

Default setting for spider sense.

I'm too lazy to turn it off.

[brazen compass]

Change it to Earthbound's SMAAAAAAAASH!!!

[potent echo]

overhead warning?

[plucky flax]

Yep.

[plucky flax]

I dunno it's more because I had a guy with me I knew going to back me up when I run to ritual.

When I'm solo party finder pugging I'm there and 3 guys are bing chilling back.

[brazen compass]

When the Psyker with the shield is mucking about in the back and then gets solo'd by a boss because he lagged behind and then blames it on the rest of the team for progressing past an area we already cleared

[deft stump]

Ah. Normally you would tell me to run with you on mic. So, herp.

[plucky flax]

You were so panicy earlier.

RIP ears.

[deft stump]

Because Arbites is broken op tanky!

Zealot feels like tissue with undying on a 2 mins CD.

[summer prairie]

what about psyker then

[plucky flax]

Have you tried not getting hit?

[deft stump]

Vet feels like tissue with a 30 sec I survive one big hit.

Psyker is ded.

Or I'm alive because they shooting me from front and I have basically so little peril gen so will survive till that runs out.

Deflector block cost reduction and kd.

[deft stump]

You play with 10 fps in fights.

When absolute mess happens.

[plucky flax]

I did.

It was very tough.

But I am back to smooth fps now.

Darktide magic.

[deft stump]

That's turning off DLSS3.

It doubles my fps with visual clarity as a trade off.

[gray juniper]

People can like what they like and it’s so cool with me 👌👍🤗

Like it’s fantasy absolutely have fun

[deft stump]

But that was before Chaos Sisters were canon.

[gray juniper]

Man fuck that it’s called creativity

Their feeble minds couldn’t comprehend

[deft stump]

I made her when I was like 14-15 or so.

[gray juniper]

Aww

[deft stump]

So you get a little too broken OCs much.

Storywise anyway.

[gray juniper]

The greatsword is actually so good and I was wrong about because I didn’t know how to use it properly and try out the different marks. Quick question tho to @marble crater @plucky flax and other pros. I used unstable power and shred for the bubble knight build like it says. It’s great on regular levels. Playing the twins I noticed I have a problem soloing sword twin. I run out of dodge or block because of multi enemy on me and heavy special by boss. She hits me with her longest attack after depleted dodge or my block gets broken

Mechanically what am I doing wrong and would it be a bad idea to use boost on curios like stamina or block, or use deflector blessing because it seems to help with block effectiveness?

[brazen compass]

[gray juniper]

Yes I’m asking you too 😑🔫

[marble crater]

I'm not familiar with the bubble knight build, does it use kinetic deflection?

Because you should be able to block for a long time with that I think?

[plucky flax]

Its just hard to fight that

Your best bet is to run away

[gray juniper]

Yes

[marble crater]

Twins fight is too difficult

[gray juniper]

You know I’m a dummy. I forgot I was actually using a gaze build for that one. No kinetic deflection btw @marble crater

[brazen compass]

Not-Rinda is especially hard as Psyker with no proper tools to fight

IMO best way to deal with it is just block and dodge until she gets bored

[gray juniper]

If you’re last up that’s impossible lol

[brazen compass]

Yeah

[marble crater]

No kinetic deflection doesn't help

[gray juniper]

Bruv…

[brazen compass]

Also that charged swing she does hits in a 360

[gray juniper]

Would deflector or a curio enhancement?

[brazen compass]

So if you're behind her and she swings, you're still getting hurt

[plucky flax]

You're pro if youre playing melee without kd

[brazen compass]

I don't use KD because I never need it when I have it, and then I eat dirt when I do need it and don't have it

[marble crater]

I mean not having it doesn't help, you should have it, imo

[marble crater]

And that's why I use it, even if I don't need it 95% of the time

[gray juniper]

I’m damn sure not. It took two tries on damnation with the first team failing then I went down in the second one but a good arbites named Amber got me up and we duo’s

[brazen compass]

It's a good philosophy honestly

Black swan event

[plucky flax]

If you need twins hm I can help

[brazen compass]

I just have to figure out how to squeeze it into my builds that don't have it

[gray juniper]

I’m legit afraid to use it on other builds. I’m always dancing high on peril. Head gonna go off like a cherry bomb

[plucky flax]

You dont explode due to kd blocking

It'll just won't work at max peril and use your stamina

[gray juniper]

Ty fren. I got it done. Just doing the story thing but trying to find ways to beat these clowns since they show up in havoc

[gray juniper]

Ok that’s a big positive

[deft stump]

Throw the oggy at them.

[marble crater]

You can't explode, you just use stamina instead and then die

I was too slow

[plucky flax]

Thats what i just said (karien took over my phone)

[marble crater]

Don't flame me

[plucky flax]

Sry wasn't me

[gray juniper]

In the current set up the recon lasgun takes down maulers and ragers reasonably fast. The sword works well too. Working the shields down on captains/karnaks ain’t worth it from a distance is the problem. You really have to get in there with the sword

[plucky flax]

Ye better to melee shield

[gray juniper]

It’s always faster yes sir

[plucky flax]

Light attack shield as well don't need to heavy attack it

[gray juniper]

What’s your movement combo dealing with them?

[marble crater]

But magdumping into the shield makes a funny sound

[gray juniper]

lol

[plucky flax]

Movement combo?

[gray juniper]

Does deflector actually provide any extra blocking besides bullets or am I imagining things?

^separate Q by the way my bad

[gray juniper]

Like how do you keep stamina or dodges up dealing with them?

[deft stump]

Stop blaming me for things you said. I'm an ocean away from you or a massive landmass.

[plucky flax]

Normally I try not to solo them

[gray juniper]

I’m least experienced of all enemies dealing with captains

Because they always get murked so fast on normal rounds

[deft stump]

Deflector lowers block cost and lets you block shots.

[marble crater]

I wish I had tips for fighting captains, I only got block if they focus you, attack if they don't

Twins is the bane of my existence

[vestal trench]

so as someone who doesnt know any better, which of tanner's psyker takes are most egregious? i noticed he dismissed empyric resolve, combustion, kinetic deflection, and flayer

[plucky flax]

I like those but im not pro like him

[vestal trench]

im mostly asking cause i searched on here to see any specifics but it was mostly a troll/fan being like "hes good tho" and not listening to anyone

[marble crater]

Out of those 4 I would say all are most egregious

[deft stump]

I'll say this, some non-psykers here have better takes on psyker class than him.

[marble crater]

All 4 of those talents are great

[vestal trench]

i'll have to skip back to the part on combustion but his take on ER was something along the lines of "but u want high peril!"

which made me think "then cast more...?"

unless im missin somethin lmao

oh and he was also very adamant abt quietude over warp expenditure

[ripe obsidian]

ER makes it easier to manage high peril

[deft stump]

More or less. In havoc, is god sent.

[vestal trench]

with KD i assume it's just a good safety net? although i dont block in this game as much as i did in VT

[marble crater]

That one is true, warp expenditure is garbage

[gray juniper]

Ok so I’m noticing it correctly. I may throw it back on at the expense of shred or unstable power. I’m not sure which one one the bigger loss to drop to drop though

[gray juniper]

I’m getting gaslighted by people on this discord talking about it being too easy. Must be ogryn mains or cracked mods idk idk

[deft stump]

KD is a safety net, yes. You always wish you had it when you didn't take it type of node.

[marble crater]

95% of the time you won't need it, but it's really good that 5% of the time. Good for reviving people in the middle of a horde, tanking a DH you accidentally triggered because of soulblaze shenanigans

[vestal trench]

gotcha

[deft stump]

Is a nice to have with KD if you aren't being shot in an open area. But is taste tbh.

[deft stump]

Oggy mains and actually cheat lvl mods.

[marble crater]

Content wise I have beaten more difficult things than the twins fight, it's mainly that I am not good at it

[ripe obsidian]

Neat. I am debating making a left keystone build

[deft stump]

Ever want hard to manually use frame perfect weapon swap attacks or special attacks? You can mod and do it way faster than most ppl.

So fast, even a chaos spawn dies to obscurus before it can attack.

damnation.

[gray juniper]

Constant staff charges is 👍👌

[deft stump]

No human can do it for every hit all the time at that rate.

Why is clear cheating.

[brazen compass]

Something to keep in mind is that the melee twin takes more ranged damage on her shield, and the ranged twin takes more melee damage on his, just like the Orthus Offensive versions

If everyone is properly focused then it's relatively trivial, but still

[gray juniper]

No im talking about the deflector blessing

[deft stump]

Yes, you need both to block shots with KD.

Otherwise you just get gunned down anyway if not timing your slides.

Or bubble.

[gray juniper]

If people use cheat tier mods like why play? Challenge is part of the point is it not? I really don’t like that. Especially if it becomes complaints about things needing to be more difficult that the rest of the player base doesn’t agree to

[gray juniper]

I’ve used deflector on its own for a long time. It’s effective but only for temporary and getting out of the way of problems

[deft stump]

I dunno, I see aimbots even lul.

[gray juniper]

Duly noted!

[gray juniper]

Lmao wtf

[marble crater]

Oh, Fatshark changed their mind and we can use some of the other cosmetics in the head slot now

[analog agate]

Seen it twice. Both vets

[deft stump]

I mean, if it gets you out alive, it did it's job.

[deft stump]

Can't quickdraw AI, I guess. They spazzed around shooting every special that barely just show up even behind them.

[vestal trench]

damn this definitely sounds like they needed permission from GW first

[deft stump]

Could be half the map away with just a barely visible head.

[gray juniper]

Incomprehensible thoughts behind these decisions

[deft stump]

Basically. Better to say no and ask first before things go to hell.

[vestal trench]

also, tanner's issue with combustion was that the stacks it gave "werent enough to kill"

but i feel that may miss the point since it's supposed to stack with every other instance of soulblaze youre doing right?

[deft stump]

It is used to weaken stuff before they even come into range.

[gray juniper]

Which is better on great sword: shred or unstable power?

[vestal trench]

gotcha

i think the one im a bit lost on is kinetic flayer's value - i guess it's a nice bonus if it procs into a mixed horde?

[tulip kettle]

i prefer unstable power

and have a FGS with all 80s except 30 warp res to make sure i stay there

[deft stump]

It only hits elites and specials now.

[tulip kettle]

it is quite good with ignatus into hordes as it helps pop the elites and get PC going

[deft stump]

Treat it like a super crit every 15 secs... FS needs to halve the CD IMO.

[tulip kettle]

but personally im not a huge fan of KF either

[deft stump]

Or even third it.

[tulip kettle]

for exactly that reason yes, ive said since day 1 its internal cd is way too long

[deft stump]

5 secs seems reasonable due to channel time

[fierce crest]

Atheneum suggests as low warp res as possible for assail weaving with greatswords, either of these worth using for that?

[tulip kettle]

60 warp res is what you want

[oak echo]

Just started a psyker character.
Are uh... Gun psykers actually viable or a meme?

[deft stump]

7 secs totally because you can do other things on top.

[tulip kettle]

heh

no dude

gunkers are terrible

[fierce crest]

it explicitly says less than that

[tulip kettle]

i mean yes less is better

but one with 60 warp res and 80 in everything else is just fine

[fierce crest]

:|

[oak echo]

Also what are the dump stats and ideal blessings/perks for the psyker exclusive weapons

[tulip kettle]

its just to make it easier to stay high peril

[fierce crest]

right so my question then

[gray juniper]

Cd?

[tulip kettle]

cooldown

[tulip kettle]

if you upgrade the first one until it has 80 in everything

then stop

it will probably have less than 60 warp res

[fierce crest]

theyre good but using ammo in havoc is sadge

so probly stick to auric-

[gray juniper]

You don’t really need warp resistance on it. It’s for the charged attack. Go with the 60%

[tulip kettle]

gun psykers are really melee psykers tbf

[gray juniper]

Ah ty

[oak echo]

I haven't touched havoc at all even after maxing my vet and zealot. I'm more concerned with knowing how every class basically works

[tulip kettle]

psyker is its own special lil beast

[oak echo]

I'm honestly more concerned with penance farming than actually getting good

[tulip kettle]

main thing is that this class is the most punishing by far

[fierce crest]

then gunker is fine

[vestal trench]

ah thats what i was missing! ty

[tulip kettle]

you just dont have the durability other classes do

[gray juniper]

Gun psyker is good even without taking scriers gaze

[oak echo]

In any case, what are the uh dump stats and ideal perk/blessings for the psyker exclusive weapons

[vestal trench]

oh and im assuming EK being focused on primary fire is a thing of the past?

[tulip kettle]

look at the pinned messages

[gray juniper]

It depends

[deft stump]

It needs a CD, but not one that long. I'll say match full channel+1-2 secs.

[tulip kettle]

yeah 5 seconds is just fine

if BB did more dmg

[gray juniper]

If they did that, my current main would be lit

[tulip kettle]

longer would be fine

[plucky flax]

I think I got scammed by this dog.

[tulip kettle]

but its low dmg and long cd which is lame

[summer prairie]

it's over 10% of your total damage

it's fine as it is

[gray juniper]

Idk it halves crushers & same tier enemy currently. I guess that’s fair for balance?

[tulip kettle]

it most certainly is not and does not

[summer prairie]

does not do 10% of your damage?

[tulip kettle]

maybe in damnation but not in havoc

[summer prairie]

maybe run power di and see

[gray juniper]

Maybe it’s my nodes but it does for me

[tulip kettle]

maybe in damnation

not in havoc 40s

[gray juniper]

Hate that shite

[summer prairie]

I've only played havoc since it was released

[tulip kettle]

bb is almost a complete waste of time

[gray juniper]

I’ll let you know when I make it there lol sorry fam you know I’m not at the level yet

[tulip kettle]

and ive always been the guy that loves BB

[gray juniper]

Me tew

[tulip kettle]

but like its 3 bursts just to kill a gunner

mutants 5 or 6

[gray juniper]

Oh they have modifiers on don’t they?

Damn like regular gunner?

[tulip kettle]

yes and they are usually healing

yes

[gray juniper]

That’s not cool fat ass shark

[tulip kettle]

2 bursts often leaves a gunner with a tiny sliver of hp

then you consider they cost like 40% peril to cast and its just like

[summer prairie]

In a recent h40 running purg, BB was 14% of total damage and very little of that was manual since I didn't even have the speed node

[tulip kettle]

im not doing that

[gray juniper]

Can’t even go that route

[summer prairie]

so it was almost all KF

[tulip kettle]

yeah for sure

but also

[summer prairie]

just do the math of it proccing every 15s over 30-40 minutes

[tulip kettle]

with ignatus

yes i am aware and i did say its worth it in havoc with ignatus to some extent

[gray juniper]

Yea KF helps so much on high attack rates but he’s right it really needs smaller cooldowns

[tulip kettle]

but still its just not enough dg

[summer prairie]

BB doesn't do enough damage, KF does for one node pick

[gray juniper]

Dom what’s ignatus?

[tulip kettle]

when a lot of the time its what i would call pointless damage

you are doing damage to something that would have just burned to death in a few seconds anyway

oh purgatus, the flame staff

[summer prairie]

well that's true about a lot of things, but you are guaranteeing those psykinetic procs by getting the kill

anyone who attacks targets you are setting on fire is doing "pointless damage"

[tulip kettle]

kinda but not

[gray juniper]

Hrmmm!

Like that newb that was robbing my kills lmao

[tulip kettle]

like im not disagreeing with you dude and its fine to take it but i also think its not as ipactful as may seem

[summer prairie]

okay

[tulip kettle]

i agree its very good for getting procs

and ensuring PC and wildfire etc

but when theres 20 crushers and bulwarks there

doing 1/6th of one of their hp doesnt seem that impactful

even if you do it 500 times in a game

[fierce crest]

its just so nice getting 50+ peril on demand, do you know how much it builds with one special at (near) 60% WR?

[summer prairie]

that's fine, it's good for some things, not everything

[tulip kettle]

like 35 ish

[gray juniper]

This why I like the EK because it stuns so good but I get mobbed by smaller enemy on lower difficulties, so it’s not much of a point?

[tulip kettle]

EK is so fun in everything not havoc

[gray juniper]

I hate that so much but I’ll have to accept it’s true

[tulip kettle]

in havoc it can be fine if your team needs more ranged focus and has enough flamers

[gray juniper]

My favorite staff no joke

[tulip kettle]

but usually you just need to run flame staff in havoc for the team to have enough dps

[gray juniper]

That sounds rare

To the former

[fierce crest]

fire trauma my beloved

welcome back sienna conflagration

[inland berry]

are there any good FGS builds rn?

[jovial juniper]

Gun psyker

Like every other melee build

You can even use Bolt Pistol puncture tech

For blood waves

[inland berry]

how do I execute that?

like i think i know the basic theory

but I assume I need to swap to gun and then fgs in a specific timing?

[deft stump]

No. FGS special and swap into bistol as it flies.

[inland berry]

gotcha

[deft stump]

You need gun out as it flies through the horde.

Works the same with Assail.

[fierce crest]

i thought they fixed that

[deft stump]

You can try it.

[fierce crest]

at least with assail

never tried it with sword wave

[deft stump]

You just need to swap to gun as they are flying.

[fierce crest]

yeah

[deft stump]

Ppl say it still works.

FGS slash is confirmed.

[fierce crest]

yep

huh, i swear i heard it got patched

[deft stump]

I think they fixed it applying brittle/rending or something. Shrugs.

[fierce crest]

this seems very underwhelming

at least with assail you can stack the bleed quickly

force wave is so slow

[summer prairie]

4 stacks is only like 56 base cumulative damage to infested

[fierce crest]

yeah

with assail you throw a few shards before swapping and some things will get hit multiple times

[summer prairie]

you can be quick enough to reapply it but you could also be doing more useful things and farming the horde for charges instead

[gray juniper]

doing an assail flurry at the end of scriers with quick shards

[ripe obsidian]

Why does bistol dogbomb do less initial damage than otherwise?

On a reaper, bistol dogbomb is doing ~1100 damage + shock + bleed, whereas melee is like 1800 + shock.

Both weapons have +flak, neither has +unyielding

I think the stagger happens before the damage... Which means Execution + High Voltage is proccing

[summer prairie]

try it with no respite on your gun

[ripe obsidian]

Replacing lethal prox, I imagine?

[summer prairie]

oh right

it doesn't have it

[ripe obsidian]

Just in my testing, the melee weapon out means dogbomb does ~2550 damage, whereas bistol is like 3600+. More if you swap back to melee

So it's still more damage overall, just a lower initial hit

[summer prairie]

yeah but it's just abuse rather than a clever strategy

[ripe obsidian]

I just wanted to test it. D:

I like the executioner shotgun more

Weird. The bleed applies on... shock hits? I didn't realize that

[deft stump]

Just FS thing.

Like how grenades count as melee kills or ranged kills based on weapon out.

[plucky flax]

Do you have high voltage on your weapon?

Melee*

[proper osprey]

Unless you’re using the crusher then yeah

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

[plucky flax]

So the dog shock does more damage.

[ripe obsidian]

I did say that. D:

[proper osprey]

Oh yeah it effects the explosion radius

[ripe obsidian]

Right here

[proper osprey]

Forgot about that ngl

[plucky flax]

Yes I am blind.

I am sorry.

[ripe obsidian]

Is okay

[proper osprey]

I don’t forgive you

[plucky flax]

You shouldn't.

[proper osprey]

Prepare yourself

[plucky flax]

I need to learn.

Spank me.

[ripe obsidian]

Kinky.

[proper osprey]

TRIPLE DOG DEATH BARRAGE

[plucky flax]

[ripe obsidian]

What perks are you using on your maul? Flak/Unyielding or Cara/Unyield?

[plucky flax]

Flak unyielding cos it already kill crushers so well.

[proper osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-bunny-dessert-spank-jiggly-bunny-jiggly-gif-25255921

[plucky flax]

So the extra damage against the captains kinda help.

[ripe obsidian]

I thought so.

That is what I am doing as well

[plucky flax]

It's so op

I tried the newly buffed tacaxe on arby.

And I dunno the shock maul is just clear.

[proper osprey]

Fr

[ripe obsidian]

Still using PA > H > H > special as your combo?

[proper osprey]

Combat axe is crazy strong on him

[marble crater]

Where are the shield lovers?

[proper osprey]

Tbh I don’t even like c stance

Break the line with forceful >

[plucky flax]

Yeah still. I dunno it feels good for me.

Also I'm using cheat mod to do it for me anyway.

If I play manually it'd just be push attack heavy heavy

[ripe obsidian]

the bonus damage from the special is significant

[plucky flax]

[plucky flax]

I like shield the mk11 one.

[marble crater]

My combo for shield is whatever I feel like doing

[ripe obsidian]

Canine Morale seems like an insanely good talent if you're using doggo

[plucky flax]

I can show you op horde clear combo on it.

[marble crater]

Which is the mk11, the top or bottom mark?

[ripe obsidian]

"Klling Pounced Targets grants Allies in Coherency +20% Toughness Damage Reduction and +10% Toughness over 5s."

[ripe obsidian]

Gib pls

[plucky flax]

The bottom one

Top is like mk6 or something.

[marble crater]

I'm using the top one at the moment, what's the OP combo?

[plucky flax]

I think the mk11 just feels easier to play.

[ripe obsidian]

This is the arby maul + arby shotgun build I have settled on, at least for now. I might try the left keystone

[plucky flax]

For single target just heavy spam.

[marble crater]

[marble crater]

I might steal this for inspiration once I'm finished with keystone penances

[ripe obsidian]

Go ahead. The two talents I'm debating moving are the dog-specific keystone and Canine Morale, but both are a pretty significant improvement to the hound

[plucky flax]

Push - heavy - light - heavy

[marble crater]

I will try, maybe it's too complicated for me

[plucky flax]

If you're not bothered about the push for extra cleave then it's simpler.

Just light heavy

[proper osprey]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f3b793e-4110-4ad4-a27e-62cd15bcf980/terrible-arbites-build my build atm

Target Neutralised is pretty good ngl

[marble crater]

I like the ranged enemy keystone for dog, because I'm already dealing with any melee threat anyway and her hunting down specials is nice

[proper osprey]

Let your dog chew something and boom you have confirmed kill like a vet

[marble crater]

Thanks, I shall try

[plucky flax]

Hmm the shock shield can tank crusher overhead I guess it's intended.

[ripe obsidian]

That's why I'm keeping it for now. Just not sure if I will. The damage increase is honestly not significant, since it doesn't affect shock jaws

[proper osprey]

Forceful make your perfect blocks block everything I believe

[ripe obsidian]

It's more the extra range and the ranged enemy focus that's valuable, but I'm seeming the dog act pretty inconsistent unless I'm directing it

The Cyber-Mastiff initiates attacks against enemies in two main ways:

(1) By default, it automatically tries to attack the closest attacking enemy within 6m to the player. Alternatively, it can select targets within up to 16m to the player; should prioritize close melee elites over other elites and specials over other enemies. Generally, the Cyber-Mastiff tries to attack appropriate targets within range that are attacking the player and are inside the player's FOV. Does not automatically attack Poxburster.

(2) Using the command-tag (double tap), the player can command the Cyber-Mastiff to attack one taggable enemy within tagging distance (100m); passive Daemonhosts are not valid targets. The Cyber-Mastiff will then attack the target dealing damage until it dies, or until the tag duration (25s) runs out, or until the target is changed by the player tagging a different one.

If the player is disabled by a Mutant or Pox Hound breed, the Cyber-Mastiff will automatically jump at it thereby freeing the player. If the player is grabbed by a Chaos Spawn or Daemonhost, or is consumed by a Beast of Nurgle, the Cyber-Mastiff will automatically continue to attack the disabling monster (ignoring any command-tagged target). Note that while being disabled (e.g. while netted), the player can still command-tag enemies.

The leap attack has a fixed cooldown of 1.5s; the effective time before Cyber-Mastiff leaps again can be longer depending on the necessary steps in its attack positioning and/or target selection logic.

[proper osprey]

Tbh I wish the dog would just focused specials

[plucky flax]

Whats that? I dont have it

[ripe obsidian]

Adamant Will

[proper osprey]

Guh

[ripe obsidian]

Left node, right keystone

Icon is two crossed mauls

[plucky flax]

Nein I am playing left keystone

[ripe obsidian]

It's TWBS + block bonus

[proper osprey]

You hate the zealot oggy keystone

Twbs with fnp

Now to not die on Arby

Take toughness talents

[plucky flax]

H40 crusher btw

[proper osprey]

Take forceful

Profit

[ripe obsidian]

@marble crater Yeah, the +50% damage on ranged enemies only increases DPS on the dog by like 80. 380ish to 460ish on a scab gunner.

The damage increase is negligible

[marble crater]

Ranged enemy priority though

[ripe obsidian]

I haven't noticed the dog AI being great about that

Sometimes it is

But most of the time I'm commanding it anyway. Just can't command it to get basic shooters

[plucky flax]

Yeah the dog keep running back to me

Like bruh go and run wild

Get all the specials for daddy

[proper osprey]

@plucky flax can you test something for me pleaseessss

How much does tac axe do to bosses with scriers precog and 15 stacks of dd? With warp rider

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-cat-cat-vro-cat-gif-17161343143756375842

[plucky flax]

That's too hard.

[gray juniper]

That’s fuggin dope tbh. How’s the damage you’re putting up outside of the special and how would you rate target the weak on activiating?

[proper osprey]

Huh

It’s pretty good for single target

And I took it into a 40 yesterday and did amazing

All of his toughness gain talents are absolutely crazy

Blue bar was constantly refilling even when I was in terrible situations

[ripe obsidian]

I am confused why so few people take Arbites Vigilant

Shockjaw dog replenishes forceful stacks in like 2 seconds

And +25% strength for 10 seconds is fantastic

[deft stump]

Push light light push light light works in aurics even at high ping btw.

[gray juniper]

Lmao I believe that. I didn’t use right keystone side at first but first build had the top of tree filled out like that and it was vigorous

[marble crater]

Maybe I will just do random things and see what works

[deft stump]

Yeah. I do simple easy stuff. Heh.

[wheat monolith]

hey friends could i have some builds? havent played since nov 11

[marble crater]

There is one for every staff in the pins

[wheat monolith]

Thank you friend

[gray juniper]

Having a life?!

Btw the pinned ones are current

[gentle hamlet]

Yo does ball spam work with voidstrike or does it have to be electrokinetic?

[deft stump]

Quell cancel is no longer in play if you think of abusing it. It works with EK because EK has free crits.

Like a free 15% crit rate.

[gentle hamlet]

I didn’t even know that was a thing big dog

The quell cancel thing

[sturdy reef]

you can

kinda quell cancel

[modest perch]

oh yea for a while you could spam it at ludicrous speed

[sturdy reef]

aint the same as before though]

[gentle hamlet]

Actually tragic though bc I just got a juicy voidtstrike from a mission

[modest perch]

i always called it the machinegun staff

[gentle hamlet]

Is voidtstrike good without bspam? Kinda wanna use this thing now

[jovial juniper]

VoidSTRIKE is kinda of a M2 type of thing

With Surge you can shoot 2 bowling balls if you crit

[gentle hamlet]

Sounds pretty good

You still want super low warp resistance on it, right? Like the inferno?

[jovial juniper]

VoidSTRIKE dumps Blast Radius

Because it only affects the explosion of the bowling ball, which we don't really care about

[lunar marsh]

Okay so i've played a bit and i've picked those 2

Oh, i can't send pictures

[deft stump]

You can use it like a bowling staff. It's funni, but not great in havocs. Perfectly fine outside.

[sturdy reef]

EK was always the machine gun staff because it has crit bonus

[deft stump]

Most dumb blast. You can decide for yourself. It's at most a little extra stagger and mild damage.

[marble crater]

usually we would tell you that you can once your name is red, but purple overwrites the red name, so you will have to check your roles every once in a while

[hearty wolf]

am I red

I'm red

[marble crater]

Why wouldn't you be red

[hearty wolf]

I'm rarely here!

I've spent a loooot of money this month on games

But Arbites

I need it

I can't convince myself to keep playing Stellar Blade

I've just been grinding Nightreign

[marble crater]

You can only play one handed for so long after all

[static panther]

Y’all got a favourite staff

I main the electro one

But if anyone could sell me on one of the others

[modest perch]

trauma is awesome. like an infinite ammo grenade launcher

so is the purge but you gotta take assail or brainpop cus its range is limited

[static panther]

Trauma?

[marble crater]

Elektro and then Blast, Blast for when I feel like bullying melee elites

[marble crater]

Old name for Voidblast

[static panther]

Oh okay

I see that one a lot

And voidstrike

[hearty wolf]

The higher difficulty you go, the more you see the other staffs that aren't electro because their utility is insane

[static panther]

Yeah I’ll try them out

Not sure how I feel about inferno

[marble crater]

The higher you go the less you see voidstrike as well

[modest perch]

im a big fan of the super low warp res fire staff shriek spam build

[static panther]

I tested a levelled one on damnation and wasn’t really feeling it

[modest perch]

just burn everything forever

[marble crater]

Because inferno is the least interesting to play, evem though it scales the best into higher difficulties and bigger density of enemies

[static panther]

I see

[deft stump]

I thought you would be asking, is Gloriana in Havoc back?

[strong gulch]

A wild Sin has appeared

[nocturne dust]

Inferno is the best staff

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1313803542196391936/elmopsyker.gif

[ripe obsidian]

You're the best staff

[nocturne dust]

[deft stump]

You catching?

[strong gulch]

I showed unprepared. I'm sure sin will escape.

[deft stump]

Oh no.

[unborn lark]

does range damage talents apply to assails?

[nocturne dust]

yes

[long robin]

me who just loves voidstrike anyway, I like my janky rocket launcher

[ripe obsidian]

@nocturne dust wanna do havoc stuff later?

[nocturne dust]

We'll see. I'm helping move a bunch of heavy stuff today, dunno how long it will take.

[marble crater]

Longer than you want

[ripe obsidian]

Be careful not to hurt yourself moving said heavy things

[plucky flax]

Use forklift.

[strong gulch]

I'll fork lift some food into my face.

I'm gonna get booed.

[hearty wolf]

I did

But I am back

Momentarily

[strong gulch]

well hi

[ripe obsidian]

You're a forklift

[plucky flax]

Tru

[summer marsh]

Electricity

[hearty wolf]

hi

[patent steeple]

btw, is Warp Nexus/BA still the best blessing combo for inferno staff on Auric?

[analog agate]

Ya

[upper sun]

ye

[wheat monolith]

Blue flames make me happy

[limpid lily]

damn a buddy of mine is getting mad thinking that it's hard-coded whenever he pulls out his Smite, a random melee guy spawns behind him xD

[frosty lava]

What's the best way to do the 50% of monstrosity health in a private game? All shield ogryns tanking it?

[marble crater]

He might be right tell him he won't have that problem, if he doesn't use smite

[marble crater]

You just need one other competent person that helps, it's not difficult

[frosty lava]

Ah okay

[gray juniper]

Want help?

I’m available

[frosty lava]

If you don't mind

[gray juniper]

I don’t mind

[frosty lava]

I messaged you my friend code

[brazen compass]

I do mind

[gray juniper]

Got it hold a sec

[zinc phoenix]

So I was trying the bubble knight concept in havoc a bunch and it wasn’t clicking with me until I moved to the mk8 and then suddenly everything worked and I started doing really well 😂

[wind wind]

Anyone in here can tell me what talent tree nodes in psykers tree elicit the most crits with the telecinetic force staff?

I feel like it fucks armor when crit but it feels like a wet noodle when it doesnt

[verbal thistle]

The gamble staff strikes again

Gaze is the only way to get crit from talents

(besides the small 5% crit chance node above kinetic reflection)

And soul drinker I guess

But that's never worth it

[wind wind]

So, to put it bluntly, there is nothing much i can do?

[verbal thistle]

Nope

I run gaze and the crit chance node

As well as surge and Nexus on my staff

[wind wind]

Alright. What about perks/blessings?

[wind wind]

Ah okay noted

[verbal thistle]

Flak + unyielding/crit chance

[wind wind]

Noted

Thx ainz

[wind wind]

How do you deal with the peril?

[verbal thistle]

Warp unbound

And I tap quell after each attack

[upper sun]

how the shit is this auric now?

they sait it was high intensity by default

[verbal thistle]

Feels bugged, even though it's supposedly in the code

[analog agate]

You didn’t do quickplay by chance? If I do quickplay for auric it puts me in regular damnation story missions.

Also, auric is definitely no harder than before. I am confused by FS’s claims

[unborn lark]

any1 able to post a assail build for me pls?

[upper sun]

it said auric in the mission when i pressed tab

there is no way in hell auric has high intensity by default

[analog agate]

I know they did say on update day that that hi int auric missions is bugged

[true lake]

bio lodestone or overpowering souls for brain rupture?

(15% per kill or guaranteed on elite kill)

[analog agate]

Guaranteed. Always

[true lake]

figured just wanted to double check real quick

[autumn timber]

Does anyone have any basic builds for a beginner player? I've been following a Melee one but I am interested in using Assail and Smite a lot!

[true lake]

well you gonna have to choose between the two of those

[autumn timber]

Ye of course, just using those as guidlines for builds I am interested in :3

[true lake]

if you plan on running either of those, then you might want to bring something else to fill in for single target damage, smite is decent at stunning a single target but its definitely not made for damage

psyker is probably the most versatile class all things considered, you can get away with a lot if you play around with the talent tree

[proper osprey]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e81f1c9-3b63-4dc3-809b-9aee0aef4d51/terrible-melee-psyker-build

[proper osprey]

Assail is good with melee psyker

It’s what I use on him but if I’m doing voidblast or inferno I do brain burst

[true lake]

assail is the "oh shit here comes a pack of dogs" kind of blitz

really good at taking out low armor enemies

[proper osprey]

Burst elite clear

\ horde clear

Very useful

[true lake]

it can work on the chaff too but you have to stay on top of how much shards you have

[proper osprey]

So good it doesn’t even need nodes

[strong gulch]

I did it. I started the campaign. Emptiest damnation of my life.

[upper sun]

yeah i am not doing the campaign

[true lake]

personally ive always loved the deimos force sword

[proper osprey]

I’d highly advise against smite ngl it not what it seems

[upper sun]

they had 3 years to add in a story mode

[true lake]

smite is what the lightning staff used to be where it spreads out a bunch and stunlocks enemies mainly

[strong gulch]

Yeah just watch someone's compilation on youtube.

[autumn timber]

Aw, I like shocking people for big cc :(

[upper sun]

ehhhhh

[proper osprey]

The inferno staff is just a better smite

[true lake]

the assail is better at actual cc than smite is, smite has a limited amount of targets it can jump to

[ripe obsidian]

Burninate the countryside.

[proper osprey]

It takes you out the equation and really does nothing while nerfing your team

Especially zealots

[true lake]

smite is something you want to bring to stunlock a big fucker for your teammates

[proper osprey]

Narp

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/trogdor-gif-4762062

[true lake]

even then there are better options

[proper osprey]

No need to cc if it dies in like a second

[autumn timber]

Good to know, sad it is that way since it is fun to use :(

[true lake]

its unfortunate yeah, but its also about as fun to burn the entire room

[proper osprey]

Sadly yes zealots entire gimmick is relying on dodges for damage and survivability and if the enemies are not attacking they can’t benefit

Same with vet, oggy, and now Arby

[ripe obsidian]

Thank you. I was not just shouting into the void

The variable in the code is also burninate, I believe, so the devs are people of culture
