psyker-class

[ripe obsidian]

I'm gonna have to go into the Psykhanium to practice

This is causing me issues

[gentle hamlet]

That’s kind of why I want it, actually

I find myself killing them b4 the dot does

oh wait

I’m dumb

I thought it was killing an enemy that had soulblaze on them

Not killing them with the dot itself

[gray juniper]

The only direct damage I’ve taken in havoc has been from those guys. I get some health whittled away in crusher packs or some guns rarely but all the time I’m getting that bomb in my face. I started to shoot some like a rookie lol

[zinc phoenix]

No

If it was “kill enemy with soulfire on them” it’d be pretty great

well it’d be alright

But “kill enemy with soulfire on the side of the tree with basically no soulfire boosts” not so much

[strong gulch]

No. There isn't enough SB on right side build and the point cost to get to wildfire and souldrinker is too much on nearly any build.

the crit chance doesn't refresh and there is an issue with server timing and when souldrinker actually procs

Plus you'd have to give up assail to get to wildfire on a gunker build.

[wheat monolith]

4 is the other goated dualling sword right

[strong gulch]

DS4 is the main one. Just do heavies.

Then DS2.

DS5 is more for funny dodges

[ripe obsidian]

They're acting normal in the meat grinder...

:(

[ripe obsidian]

Anyone wanna do havoc?

[potent echo]

I played electrokinetic staff again

And then realised why I stopped playing it

[wispy bay]

You blow yourself up?

[potent echo]

No it's just

Poopy

I have more fun with EP BB

[wispy bay]

Running speed gaze with bolt pistol works well 😈😈😈

[ripe obsidian]

Sorry, I missed this message. I'm only rank 34 atm, but I've been joining 40s. Actually won a few today, which is a change in the pattern

[restive slate]

What about the new mk 1dclaw? Heard its light combo has changed

[jovial juniper]

Still shit

[jovial juniper]

Reaching the new Strikedowns is annoying in the heat of battle

And the buffs didn't tweak flak adm

5/10 buff

[nocturne dust]

they touched carapace... for the parry

[north hatch]

mk iv still the best?

[strong gulch]

DS?

[north hatch]

Devil claw

Wait was there a mk iv?

[nocturne dust]

yes

[north hatch]

Which mark was the one with the holes

[strong gulch]

1 4 7

[north hatch]

Im questioning myself now

[potent echo]

God I forgot how unfunny flak adm is on devil claw

[strong gulch]

No clue. I don't devil's claw.

[potent echo]

Dreg bruisers greatest villain

[nocturne dust]

Dclaw 4 is the one with the strikedown heavy into horizontal heavy

[jovial juniper]

4

[north hatch]

Ok ok

Is the hole one still the best one

[jovial juniper]

That or 7

Basically inverse moveset

[north hatch]

I love your holes dclaw iv

🥰

[jovial juniper]

[north hatch]

I'll never love anyone elses holes only yours

Yes.

[ripe obsidian]

I just got through a Havoc 40 taking 0 damage until the very, very end

[ripe obsidian]

A random flamer poked me for 18 damage.

[summer prairie]

[nocturne dust]

[strong gulch]

@nocturne dust ready

[ripe obsidian]

Another mission aborted due to an unknown error

Counts as a loss. =|

[strong gulch]

of course it does

great

i hate the derank shit

[ripe obsidian]

Same

[nocturne dust]

Yet to see anyone like it

[strong gulch]

I have.

I have even seen someone here in psyker chat want some kind of derank thing for aurics.

[nocturne dust]

If they like deranking, they're a heretic, so they're not a person.

[deft stump]

Do you want kraks to toss at their face?

[strong gulch]

yes

[ripe obsidian]

I'm having more success climbing as Psyker. It's probably because a team of all Arby has no bubble

[deft stump]

Because there is the one thing a vet has, inf 'nades to toss at annoyances.

keep in mind

this is me being stuck with a dogshit 30% damage greatsword

and im still outdamaging them and soloing the plague ogryn spawns

yet they are acting like im shit

[gray juniper]

Future reference I’m ok with doing mid 20s but not sure about 30s. I don’t want to be dragged along at everyone’s burden

[spare comet]

i love it when people act like im a new player when im leveling a new character

literally got called "level 15 noob" earlier and told to get off of maelstrom because i wasnt max level yet

its heresy maelstrom this shit is weenie hut junior

[deft stump]

Let me guess, they kept going down or being useless?

[spare comet]

yea they all went down

i died because of a big horde + a beast of nurgle lol

[deft stump]

I mean, ppl just see lvl...

If you died by anything that isn't knock back there...

[spare comet]

i died because im level 20 psyker in heresy maelstrom fighting off everything solo because they all died

[deft stump]

Solo is different.

[spare comet]

they were bitching before that too

[deft stump]

Can tell.

[spare comet]

BRO GRAB THE RODS (it was relay station) BRO

WHAT IS TAKING YOU PEOPLE SO LOOOONG BRO

[spare comet]

(two plague ogryns had just spawned)

[deft stump]

Let me guess, they won't do it.

[spare comet]

they kept trying to run and grab the rods while two plague ogryns had just spawned and were trying to stomp them into a small red stain

[deft stump]

Oh. But tbh, they could kill the pogryns first...

[spare comet]

exactly

[deft stump]

Have you countered with, maybe you guys should go back to malice.

[spare comet]

i should have

[deft stump]

Or even uprising. Minimal bosses then.

[gray juniper]

lol you definitely don’t have to be bubble reliant on maelstrom

[zinc comet]

Tell them to go back to sedition 👍

[gray juniper]

It’s cool I saw a lot of shit shows this evening

[deft stump]

But, that was so hard it got removed.

[gray juniper]

@spare comet auric is going to be no different btw

[zinc comet]

The difficulty being staying awake through the mission

[deft stump]

Look, it was HARD.

[plucky flax]

I wish it still exists i played it

[gray juniper]

There was some guy named papi chulo and the auric was a fire mission and lights out. This guy was absolutely spamming this gun that launched explosives. Everything on fire at all time. I had to run ahead the whole time to stay alive

[spare comet]

people bitch about no shield on auric too?

[deft stump]

Rumbler?

[deft stump]

They bitch about it on any lvl.

[zinc comet]

Inferno modifier sucks ass

[gray juniper]

People are bitching about what they consider hard. If it’s hard for them they assume it’s hard for you too. Another experienced player thinks there’s a lot of people big for their breeches using arbitrator but not realizing there not that skilled

[spare comet]

sounds like classic rumblergryn

[zinc comet]

Swing any weapon that has more than 0 cleave hit 2 barrels

[gray juniper]

No this was an arby character

I don’t know what he was shooting but it was blowing up ALL the barrels

[deft stump]

Naw, even swing knoife.

Barrel goona blow.

[gray juniper]

No it’s fun there’s just a lot of fools ruining the point of it

[spare comet]

bolter maybe?

i dunno

[zinc comet]

Nothing about inferno is fun

[spare comet]

inferno reeks yeah

[gray juniper]

Yes probably the new bolter. I had the bolt pistol and it looked like a shotgun version

[zinc comet]

What if we restricted the entire map that you already couldn’t see anyway

[spare comet]

wait until you play lights out

[zinc comet]

Lights out sucks too

[spare comet]

oh lights out is fucking dreadful

i don't mind vent purge as it's just foggy

[deft stump]

They all suck.

[gray juniper]

I like lights out

[deft stump]

I see nothing.

[spare comet]

if i quickplay into lights out i will probably just leave

[deft stump]

DLSS3 made it worse.

[spare comet]

on my pc it is completely impossible to see

[gray juniper]

Lights out is ok for real teams. It only works if you are one

[deft stump]

Look at avg pubs.

[gray juniper]

Yes I live in pub hell

[deft stump]

I can't try to clutch blinded.

[spare comet]

The Inferno modifier just makes the maps look like shit and spams flame barrels and grenadiers and flamers

I don't know why they thought it would be fun

[gray juniper]

Feel that. Really bad when you have a great run then the next one is all goobers

[deft stump]

Well, if the goobers are quiet and try to play, is fine.

The bad ones are the goobers that spam chat.

And I don't mean those than spam it with sorry every time they go down.

[gray juniper]

I got excited because this lobby had no arbys. Carnival first enemy contact I see two box of boom and zealot special go off. Honestly I should’ve backed out right there

[fierce crest]

whats a good talent build to use with random weapons

[deft stump]

Well, depends on which Zealot special.

Fury being spammed is normal.

[gray juniper]

Not the chorus boost

Some kind of attack

[deft stump]

Not invis?

Is fury.

[spare comet]

fury zealots will always spam fury

thats normal

[gray juniper]

No not the shroud

[deft stump]

It's fine, like Arby with bonk spamming it.

[zinc comet]

You are supposed to spam fury

[gray juniper]

Maybe it was just grenades

[fierce crest]

? if you had to have a set talent build without knowing what weapons youll have what would a good generalist build be

assail feels right

[gray juniper]

Anyway, they all died at the start of the level at the first horde

[fierce crest]

unsure about ult or keystone

[gray juniper]

Then two pogryns spawned

[spare comet]

assail, shield, disrupt destiny

or something like that

[weary idol]

assail, SG, EP so I don't have to use the weapons I don't like

being more serious SG+DD is good for everything on psyker broadly

[fierce crest]

i dont think ive ever used assail EP

always seemed kinda unsynergistic

ive also been having a realy problem with robo dogs messing with DD stacking

KD and surety are so nice tho

something like this maybe

[prime elk]

It’s very powerful

You can straight up use assail as your main weapon

And assail is also very powerful lol

[fierce crest]

its already pretty close to that with both upgrade nodes and warp splitting

[prime elk]

Yeah

DD is prob the stronger node still

But if you’re in the mood for assail maxing EP Assail will absolutely decimate aurics

[fierce crest]

theres so many nodes i want :(

even completly ignoring crit stuff since a lot of weapons dont care too much for it

crits are so cool tho

[strong gulch]

Rip @nocturne dust

wish I had recon instead of fan revolver the who time

@strong gulch ggs

[nocturne dust]

It was an inside job 😭

[strong gulch]

dog bad

[nocturne dust]

Dogs been weird all day tho

[strong gulch]

parkour to get yourself pumped

obviously

[nocturne dust]

Also this moment where I murked a whole squad of em by myself

[strong gulch]

so many bonk

I was too scared to stay there

[nocturne dust]

And of course, obligatory hitbox weirdness/lag/nonsense

[marble crater]

Why no perfect timing and true aim?

[fierce crest]

this is a talent tree for random weapons

[strong gulch]

Speak of weirdness. Fully auto mod kept turning itself on and off. On sucks on the fan revolver.

Also weapons refusing to swap.

true aim would be better than SoA

[fierce crest]

true aim is just very meh on some waepons

[nocturne dust]

We were so close to impromptu duoing too 😭

[marble crater]

Fair enough, you have assail though

[strong gulch]

Yeah we were. That section with all of the shooters in that hallway with the DH at the end was rough.

Almost seems like it would have been easier to aggro the DH and pull it back. THEN deal with the shooters.

[strong gulch]

you got the pick for me mod?

[nocturne dust]

Maybe. Arby does have a lotta boss damage, tho I'm bad at that

I keep forgetting to ammo dump my 'revolver', lol

[strong gulch]

I kept accidentally dumping mine

[marble crater]

I keep dumping my ammo into poxwalker hordes to complete the penance

[strong gulch]

I forgot arby has penances.

[nocturne dust]

I've completed so many arby penances on accident

in fact, I've done all of them on accident

[strong gulch]

maybe I should play arby

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

Though. My zealot has been 39/40 for the grenade toss for over a year.

[marble crater]

It's for the middle keystone, I just want to be done with that nonsense and play the good keystones

[strong gulch]

or just about a year??

[nocturne dust]

You'll never get me off right keystone

[marble crater]

Well, did you even play your zealot in the past year?

[strong gulch]

like 3 times

none in the past several months tho

[nocturne dust]

Also, still love the mod

[strong gulch]

lmao.

Not THAT song

Also that trapper was silent. Not even a door sound.

sry for editing

Make a brain burst build

[ornate hamlet]

whats a good single target for pysker melee

[strong gulch]

DS4, deimos, obscurus, knife, FGS

[ornate hamlet]

is the normal blazeforce sword good at single

[strong gulch]

DS4 is the easiest option. You get a lot of single target damage and mobility

[strong gulch]

there's 3

illisi not for single

deimos and obscurus good at single

[ornate hamlet]

dueling sword is one i havent used in a long time

i have an obscurus

dont really matter rn ig

my psyker got locked to uprising

sad times

[marble crater]

Enjoy the grind

[ornate hamlet]

just realized that

now gotta do 123573845270 missions

to do waht i want

atleast im drippy

[strong gulch]

I still need to do the campaign on one of my characters.

[strong gulch]

coat

[ornate hamlet]

coat

gotta play more ogryn to get my havoc gear

got 1 of the 3 pieces

actually ym arb is 30 so i should use him

[ripe obsidian]

It's a little crazy to me that Arbitrator can nearly keep up with Purgatus psyker for damage output.

[wraith sphinx]

Paid dlc class gotta be strong so people don't regret buying it

[ripe obsidian]

It's a little frustrating, honestly. Tanky as hell and does almost as much damage

[strong gulch]

Depending on how much the purg user stays in the back and how much the arby holds down W, arby can outpace a purg by a lot.

[ripe obsidian]

Doesn't help that the current Havoc modifiers are pus-hardened skin and rampaging

[wraith sphinx]

Don't worry the class will get a balance pass a year from now lol

[ripe obsidian]

The former just kills my damage output

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah. I've lost in damage if it's pus-hardened skin, and I've only been ahead by 10-20% otherwise

Though I did have one game that was healing and red, I think, where my damage got insanely high due to elites healing up with 20+ stacks on them. Server crashed, sadly, so no scoreboard

But I was at like 1.5m to the Arby's 600k in that one

[ripe obsidian]

Let's see if they patch the bugs first. Like the disco ball giving 70% TDR instead of 30%

[wraith sphinx]

[strong gulch]

Did they fix pus hardened or change to where the DoT is affected? Direct damage sure, but the first round of havocs wasn't like that.

[marble crater]

The disco ball can give 200%, still not using it.
You know why? Because I am a battering ram!

[ripe obsidian]

DoT is not affected afaik

But ranged is still a big chunk of damage

[wraith sphinx]

I will never use the disco ball becUse it tanks my fps

[strong gulch]

Just the infinite cleave direct damage taking a poop.

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah. 50% reduced

That + rampaging makes me sad.

And tbh, I want to try a disco ball build. Just pick every tanky node, get a billion TDR.

[nocturne dust]

But... but disco

[nocturne dust]

Took a crusher overhead. Lost 50 health. Don't have true grit.

[ripe obsidian]

It's goofy

[glacial vapor]

Arbites making Ogryn look fragile

[ripe obsidian]

Arby needs either a nerf to damage output or to tankiness

Right now it just does everything too well. Shotgun is a better Zarona, maul can 2-shot crushers, can facetank crusher overheads, etc.

[plucky flax]

Hmm shotgun reloads too slow and not as fast as revolver at taking out specials in havoc

I think breakpoint is very good tho in auric

[ripe obsidian]

It does way more damage than Zarona if the enemy is within like 20m

Either way, the class is too good at too many things. Probably turn down the toughness regen and damage output somehow.

[plucky flax]

Ye for long range tho. Sometimes it takes 2 if not 3 shots with mk8 shotgun for me

Very sad

[ripe obsidian]

You are at the mercy of pellet spread

[fresh leaf]

Hey so my friend is looking to run a "mind bullets" build with the psyker. He doesn't care about melee or range weapons and wants to go pure psychic. Can anyone recommend a build?

[hearty wolf]

"keep up"

Ex dee

[hearty wolf]

It's always consistently 1 or 2 if it's a weakspot hit.

For some reason I find it terrible at killing dogs consistently lmao

Also really gotta ads to tighten the spread. Kinda doodoo otherwise

I also don't run unyielding on mine so maybe I'm hitting better breakpoints

I just find ranged weapon + unyielding feels like trolling

[glacial vapor]

They're not really living in reality if they want to go pure assail, since it won't deal with bosses or carapace. But something like this for maximum assail should work

[marble crater]

Another victim of "I have unlimited blitz, I will use unlimited blitz"

[plucky flax]

Shotgun is normally very good against reaper. It has nice adm and can easily get fullbore on ogryn's big head. Also shotgun is sick against bonbon weak spot

I run maniac unyielding on my shotguns

[hearty wolf]

That's the case where it fucks for sure. I'm not too bothered about taking a perk for reapers - I'd rather one shot gunners more consistently.

Like, when I find a reaper. I'm not thinking "Oh I'll just 1 tap it" - even if I can, if I turn a corner and can't 1 shot a gunner, then it feels really bad

Maybe that's just me

What I'm saying is fat guy strong

I don't want to be defeated by a twig

Bonbon there's also no guarantee you can get behind.

I think the shock maul is so insanely strong that I want to keep it out as much as possible

The only thing I struggle with the shotgun is figuring out a meaningful use for the special shells

It only applies brittle AFTER the shot, right? Is it even the full 40%?

[plucky flax]

I never use special

[hearty wolf]

It's "free" ammo

Since it comes off the top rack of the gun which doesn't use normal ammo

So I think it's worth loading in downtime but that's about it

Also when are you getting downtime on havoc lul

Not necessarily a warp user but another class where you’re paper thin and need to evasionmax

Switch on at the psu?

Yes and yes

And yesterday, and this morning, it was working fine!

I'm guessing you're not used to doing your own maintenance?

Ah no that's fine. You should just be able to slide your PSU out if needed

But before fucking with that

You said your pc didn't boot. Not that it didn't turn on.

Yeah?

[drifting steeple]

No fans, no lights, no sound

[strange hamlet]

its oddly fitting that all of the other class chats are about builds and nerf arguments and then here its just computers

[drifting steeple]

How am I supposed to play psyker if I can't turn the karking PC on!

[strange hamlet]

did you ask beloved im sure he'd be willing to help

[hearty wolf]

I'd double check the cables plugged into your pc and make sure they're pushed in and follow the cables back. Especially if there's a brick. Make sure everything is pressed in and switched on.

I'd also remove any other usbs and connections

[drifting steeple]

My dad did start pressing in cables and testing if the computer would turn on

[hearty wolf]

Never trust other people

Always do it yourself

Also give your pc a quick shake and listen for any screws loose.

[drifting steeple]

Last time I tried it I couldn't get my ram back in lol
And he did shake it but there are some unused

Unused cables that definitely do not help

[hearty wolf]

RAM can be a pain in the ass sometimes. It's a learning curve.

Yeah I'd get those cables out of there.

The fact it worked this morning could be a sign.

It also could be a temperature thing depending on when you tried it again.

Either way, this is for when you're home. The trial and error begins.

It's a long process.

Welcome to PC

[drifting steeple]

I should stop moving it

[hearty wolf]

Hopefully we don't have this shit during PC2

[brazen compass]

Always the damn RAM

[marble crater]

Next time people ask my why I prefer playing on console I will show them this conversation

[drifting steeple]

This is actually the first PC I've had issues with

The last one I was using wasn't cleaned once for two years and it worked mostly fine

[brazen compass]

Typical Unsanctioned Psyker

[hearty wolf]

It's faster in person because you just go through the checklist mentally

Until you get massive GPU and break all your fingers trying to make things work

[hearty wolf]

Nooo that's so icky

If I don't clean my pc every 3 months, there's so much fur in there that I could spawn another cat

[brazen compass]

Btw I want to say that is nice cable management

Clean AF

[drifting steeple]

I knowww

[drifting steeple]

Thanks, I bought it

[hearty wolf]

[brazen compass]

[drifting steeple]

I know so I endeavour to be more diligent with this one esp since I bought it myself

[hearty wolf]

That's going to be my go-to for anything I purchase now

[drifting steeple]

It's more that I didn't build it 🫣 it's pre built

[hearty wolf]

Instead of paying some randoms $150, you can pay me $1.5 for e-consulting

Gotta pay my rent

(I don't pay rent)

[drifting steeple]

I don't pay rent either! Buddies!

[hearty wolf]

That's lit

I had a dream with my best friend that we would get a mansion with like 7 people

And we'd all make them pay the rent

And we'd just live there

Mansion managers

[drifting steeple]

The landlord special

[brazen compass]

[hearty wolf]

It's a great idea until you realise you're with other people

[plucky flax]

Last penance apart from missions completed.

[hearty wolf]

And people suck

[hearty wolf]

I still haven't used castrator stance

[zinc phoenix]

missing out, its hilarious

[hearty wolf]

The CD looks lil long

[zinc phoenix]

bullet refund so you can use shotgun without using ammo and you take 80% less damage after your other dr

[hearty wolf]

Also no sprint when I'm a W warrior

[hearty wolf]

Bullet refund sounds nice

[zinc phoenix]

its hilarious

[hearty wolf]

You pair that with Execution order or mid stone?

[zinc phoenix]

i am a vibe based gamer so ive tried it with both and stuck with left for no particular reason

[brazen compass]

I like it with Execution

[zinc phoenix]

but its basically a "press F to win so hard you get sick of it" ability

[brazen compass]

Probably because it can help you face tank bosses with that subnode

[hearty wolf]

Mm.

I feel pretty invincible with the 1 extra dodge and a.shock maul

It's a radical change from thammer

From slow to speed

[plucky flax]

The penance for that is fast at least

[hearty wolf]

Sick.

Mandatory comment of how Arby's penances all are easy compared to others and how I've 90% of them just by playing the class

[marble crater]

Weird how there wasn't a "Kill a sniper more than 50 meters away with your dog" penance

Oh boy, banter fix and new auric difficulty

[summer prairie]

"Fixed an issue where Psyker ‘on critical hit’ talents would trigger when burn stacks are active on enemies."

"New High Intensity added which will be active during High Intensity missions on the Auric level difficulty; this change will bring higher enemy count and increased spawn rate, more frequently occurring specials and hordes spawning."

[marble crater]

Is EE dead now?

[quartz barn]

Still doesnt compare to ogryn, while a little luck based you were able to get all of his original penances ina single game

[summer prairie]

"Dev Note: Auric used to be Damnation with the guarantee of modifiers with High Intensity applied, that intensity has been applied as a baseline to new Auric, thus missions on the Auric Board may now appear as both High Intensity and Non-High Intensity."

[jovial juniper]

Higher Intensity Aurics huh

[marble crater]

Auric squared

[summer prairie]

"Fixed issue where ‘Razor-Jaw Augment’ didn’t properly apply Bleed to all targets hit by the Pounce knockback."

Fixed an issue where Keeping Protocol talent was increasing damage to enemies other than Monstrosities."

ok they broke dog bleed

[jovial juniper]

Good?

Bad?

[summer prairie]

you get 16 stacks on targets that get staggered

on the pounced target

on monsters you get 8

[glacial vapor]

Imagine they fixed bistol interactions with Arby and it applied to Vet

[jovial juniper]

So AoE Bloodletter

[hearty wolf]

Wait 16 on the pounce

?

[summer prairie]

yes

[hearty wolf]

That's going to 1 dot kill anything the doggo munches lmao

[summer prairie]

but it's fine, the damage isn't attributed to any player/companion so it won't see op at all

[hearty wolf]

NO

MY DAMAGE STATS

[jovial juniper]

They gave a better Bullrush to doggy

[hearty wolf]

I'll wait for the plugin fix

[jovial juniper]

😭

[summer prairie]

soulblaze still triggers KF, not sure what the on crit burn thing is

[dull gyro]

uh oh...

[oak echo]

Dump stats, ideal perks and blessings on the psyker staves and force swords?

[jovial juniper]

All of them dumps Warp Resistance

Except VoidSTRIKE

That one dumps blast radius

[oak echo]

Including the swords?

[dull gyro]

yea sword too

you wanna edge urself

[oak echo]

Perks and and blessings then?

[dull gyro]

depends on staff and sword

[jovial juniper]

Also psyker proccing critical hit talents when enemies were burning implies that psyker was the most broken class for a while

Fatshark try not to break Mettle challenge

[covert saffron]

So was that issue introduced from the arbites patch or has it been in the game since release and they're just now fixing it?

[oak echo]

What are each one?

[quartz barn]

This also makes no sense

So soulblaze can crit?

Or every / any burning target gets hit by a on crit effect when you crit with your weapon

Nice coding fs

[summer prairie]

High intensity auric has more frequent hordes, slightly bigger hordes, slightly shorter travel distance between hordes, higher chance of hordes spawning behind, a bit more roamers, higher chance of specials surge/coordinates strike, shorter timers between specials

The psyker crit thing refers to Mettle and Perfect timing specifically

[hearty wolf]

That sounds more intense

You didn't mention anything about monstrosities

[summer prairie]

I don't think it affects those

[jovial juniper]

Still guaranteed at least 1 boss

And if you don't roll boss you get Patrol

[summer prairie]

the elite count likely isn't much different but that's just my impression based on the numbers

The dog bleed talent went from bad to stupid as it reapplies bleed constantly to the pounced target and can apply 16 stacks when staggering enemies around the target, presumably depending on their hitboxes

[jovial juniper]

They gave AoE Bloodletter to the dog

Their own Bullrush bleed

Meanwhile, Eviscerator Bloodletter is only 6 stacks

[summer prairie]

Mettle/Perfect timing seem to trigger more frequently now, I don't quite recall the previous behavior though

[plucky flax]

Maybe it's some weird interaction with the actual burn dot not soulblaze dot

[summer prairie]

Now you get one proc per crit even when there's only one target

[plucky flax]

Dog bleed is op now pog

Can't wait to play dog after work

[summer prairie]

yes but taking it lowers your scoreboard damage

[plucky flax]

Tru

The pain

But I'd rather win

[summer prairie]

sacrifices have to be made

[unborn flicker]

So was this a nerf or a buff, because it reads like a nerf

[plucky flax]

Doggo is the silent protector

Hes in the shadow bleeding

[summer prairie]

The fix is talking about mettle and perfect timing but not sure how the behavior is different

[plucky flax]

What do i drop for bleed tho

[jovial juniper]

The dog

https://tenor.com/view/kinkytwt-stan-twitter-stantwt-dog-greedy-gif-8347969902085611737

[wraith sphinx]

Brunt really loves me god damn

decided to buy a boltgun for my arbys and immediately got this

[plucky flax]

Nice

[unborn flicker]

Man Arby’s so prolific even psyker chat is about them

[plucky flax]

The regulars here just dont want to go to arby chat

[wraith sphinx]

This is the only class chat I like to hang out in

[unborn flicker]

I do have a question regarding higher level havoc content. I’ve been getting my ass beat. Are Pyskers supposed to be able to hold their own or do we typically need other classes to protect us a little more because we are squishy?

[wraith sphinx]

I've tried playing havoc matches with my gun psyker above rank 21 to no avail

I just can't crack it and soloing a havoc mission is beyond my skills

[unborn flicker]

Yeah havoc 22 seems to be the no go zone

I can clear hordes of trash no problem

But the bosses break up the gang and I get put into hell

[jovial juniper]

You're a glass cannon
With emphasis on cannon
You can peel for yourself

[wraith sphinx]

however I also have nobody to play havoc with outside of asking fellow psykers here and randoms stuck on the h21 filter are awful

[unborn flicker]

How? I’ve tried everything. Flame staff doesn’t stagger well enough and there’s no sword that can clear well enough for me to not take chip damage which isn’t chip damage but drops a 1/3 of my hp

[wraith sphinx]

no knowledge of target prioritization, no knowledge of using cover, big preference for getting railed by Rinda's sword

oh and they have no clue about not chainpulling bosses either

[unborn flicker]

Chain pulling?

[jovial juniper]

Flame Staff small puffs have one of the highest staggers in the game

[wraith sphinx]

as in causing multiple boss spawns in a quick succesion

[unborn flicker]

Not mauler/executor packs, I’ve resorted to using devils claw parry nonstop

[unborn flicker]

That’s controllable? I thought the gm just bends you over randomly and that’s why you get a plague ogryn a chaos spawn and the twins all at once

[spare comet]

https://tenor.com/view/bill-murray-perhaps-i-could-be-of-some-assistance-assistance-gif-7242871

[wraith sphinx]

nah, just don't rush ahead like a headless chicken

[brazen compass]

Know the triggers of the map

I mean not you

But in general

[spare comet]

maps have specific trigger locations

[unborn flicker]

If you have any videos of flame staff you could recommend, I’d appreciate it greatly. I’ve been getting cut off, surrounded and overwhelmed

[brazen compass]

Like come on, playing the same 5 maps, you'd figure you'd learn the fucking layout since nothing changes

[unborn flicker]

I play so passively in the back

[silent coral]

Reading the hot fix notes have they killed the pyro staff crit dodge vs ranged build?

[unborn flicker]

No idea, seems like it

[wraith sphinx]

appreciate it but I'm burned out of havoc rn

I'll consider it

[jovial juniper]

Nope

[spare comet]

i dont blame you

i just play it for resources

otherwise im auric all day every day

[silent coral]

So that talent still works with flame staff? Good havoc would be a lot more annoying otherwise

[unborn flicker]

I read it to mean that the passive flame damage done by flame stacks no longer triggers on critical buffs

[wraith sphinx]

same, auric is where I actually have fun

I go tthe whole black armor set and one of the havoc titles and insignias

[unborn flicker]

Which if true means if you’re not constantly holding right click, you get no protection

[wraith sphinx]

and I just can't bring myself to care about havoc anymore

[spare comet]

how long did it take you to get the armor set

[wraith sphinx]

less than 2 weeks during havoc 1.0

played so much my wrist went sore

learned a lot about not being shit at the game too

[upper sun]

"Dev Note: Auric used to be Damnation with the guarantee of modifiers with High Intensity applied, that intensity has been applied as a baseline to new Auric, thus missions on the Auric Board may now appear as both High Intensity and Non-High Intensity"

no it wasnt STOP gaslighting me

[wraith sphinx]

2 weeks as in within the first 2 weeks of havoc launching

havoc was actually goated t oplay with randoms during 1.0 shame Iwas still terrible at the game

[summer prairie]

yes it was

[upper sun]

i think they should make havoc quickplay and kill partyfinder

[wraith sphinx]

same

[hearty wolf]

Thought they changed the triggers from Havoc 1.0 to 2.0 so it was more "dynamic"

Doesn't matter to me because ultimate havoc strategy is pressing the S key on the keyboard

100% win rate

[unborn flicker]

No when you’re slow and there’s a hoard of maulers

[wraith sphinx]

doesnt work when the entire team dies within 2 minutes and we have barely moved from spawn at all

[plucky flax]

It helps tremendously when there's a high cc player in team to help with the ogryns. Since they take longer to kill and if they'd just walk up to you you gotta run back and thus not do damage

[unborn flicker]

I can kill one in three to four heavies with force great sword but doing that with 6? And other trash mobs? Good luck ;-;

I wish with all my heart that brain burst was more effective. I’ve resorted to using the primary staff attack makes enemies take 30% more warp based damage and then using the brain burst to try to pop them but it only does 1/2

[hearty wolf]

Psyker is usually a lot more efficient at clearing trash or cc'ing than killing.

Brain burst is utter dogshit and its use case is like trying to kill shit when you're in a hallway with some cover and 900 gunners

Even if you find a special really far from you, I'd leave it to someone else to kill that special because time you're bb'ing means time you're not flaming

And time you're not flaming is bad

[drifting steeple]

That's
That's so weird it's working now

[hearty wolf]

Just complain about it more

[drifting steeple]

I decided to take out that little button battery

[hearty wolf]

What

On the motherboard?

[drifting steeple]

Yes

[hearty wolf]

Did

You put it back?

[drifting steeple]

And then my dad showed me how to check the voltage, and there was still power and I put it back in and then it booted

[hearty wolf]

I guess all it needed was a CMOS reset

[drifting steeple]

After I discharged the power? Or something. Held the power button for 30 seconds

[hearty wolf]

Ye

[jovial juniper]

Ah yes

The little button battery technique

[hearty wolf]

My mobo is still so old, I've gotta do the whole stick two clips into two random holes shit

[drifting steeple]

Hey Sin you seem like a computer wiz

Is it a bad idea to be hauling the computer back and forth

[hearty wolf]

I'm scared to ask what that means

Are you moving it between 2 houses or smth

[drifting steeple]

Yes

[hearty wolf]

It's fine although I'd consider packing up internal components in anti-static bags but that can be overkill

Just make sure it's adequately protected esp if it's going in Dad's truck and it's bumpy or whatever

[drifting steeple]

Also another computer related question
Has this update just tanked performance or is it just me

I swear that the last I played darktide it wasn't this shit

[unborn flicker]

I got roasted on Reddit for suggesting a touch up of psyker blitzes

[drifting steeple]

Psyker blitz seems rather contentious

Aw fuck what's the difference between blitz and combat ability again

[jovial juniper]

All Psyker blitzes have their own problems

Assail has the least

[unborn flicker]

Combat ability is the bubble shield, shout and gaze

[drifting steeple]

Ohh okay

[unborn flicker]

Blitz is shock, assail brain burst

[drifting steeple]

Yeah I just do soulblaze

So what blitz lol

[unborn flicker]

Brain burst

[drifting steeple]

I know

[unborn flicker]

It’s really not hitting its use case

It should be a nut cracker

[drifting steeple]

I'm making a joke that I don't use it actively

[hearty wolf]

Check your settings. Sometimes games like to crank things up for no reason

[unborn flicker]

Hitting armored enemies hard

[hearty wolf]

And check drivers

[hearty wolf]

Brainburst is shit, smite means you're shit and assail exists.

That's my review

[unborn flicker]

Shaders probably reloading

[unborn flicker]

That was my take as well

[drifting steeple]

Man going from Warframe to darktide is so much whiplash

[unborn flicker]

If they guaranteed brain burst one tapped all but boss enemies, I’d be in love

[hearty wolf]

That's interesting because I think of Warframe as the faster game

Although I haven't touched the game since uh

Uh...

Angels of Zariman?

Oh wait

[unborn flicker]

You move faster but have less micro managing is my take

[hearty wolf]

I touched Duviri paradox for 2 nanoseconds

Then realised I don't like Warframe and stopped again

[unborn flicker]

In darktide, even the trashiest of mobs can mess you up

[hearty wolf]

Yeah that's fair but that's due to how strong you can be in Warframe.

I was actually sweating so much yesterday that my mouse almost slipped out of my hands exdee

But that's what I live for

I love when people die in darktide

[unborn flicker]

Glad to see all darktide players are still a mix of sadists and masochists

[drifting steeple]

thats exactly it

i go from zooming around like lightning to walking a mortal pace

[unborn flicker]

We are the slowest class

With the least hp

[hearty wolf]

Just increase your sensitivity

Breath on your mouse to 360

[hearty wolf]

That's a good point

Why am I in this chat

[unborn flicker]

I don’t think they meant turn speed

[hearty wolf]

When I never play psyker lul

[hearty wolf]

I know but

Wait

If you use warp speed on scriers

You fucking ZOOM

[jovial juniper]

Psyker is also the only class that can hit the movement speed cap

[hearty wolf]

^

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/the-flash-barry-allen-run-fast-gif-6144593

[hearty wolf]

And they have stamina regen of a god

[unborn flicker]

We have small brief bursts, if very specific situations that are not optimal to use for a build most of the time

[unborn flicker]

Nuhuh, do they actually? I swear it’s molasses

[analog agate]

Ogryn is slowest class. Or is he calling me slow

[unborn flicker]

Yes

[wraith sphinx]

we fucking love Mettle and warp speed

[analog agate]

Understood 😄

[jovial juniper]

Technically shared with Arbys

[unborn flicker]

Shame it’s next to suicidal to try to melee in higher havoc

So all that stam is decoration

[pastel turtle]

"Fixed an issue where Psyker ‘on critical hit’ talents would trigger when burn stacks are active on enemies."

thanks for the patch notes fatshark

[unborn flicker]

That wasn’t an issue

It was keeping us alive ;-;

I’ve resorted to disrupt destiny to get the majority of my toughness regen and it seems like it’ll have to carry since I won’t passively gain toughness on critical flame stack damage

[mighty olive]

This makes me sad

[pastel turtle]

Struggling to understand how this is "an issue".

[hearty wolf]

It's viable

[pastel turtle]

I do a thing to hurt enemies
Enemies take damage
Some of that damage is critical

That's a problem why?

[hearty wolf]

Is this a genuine question or

I can't tell if it's rage bait xd

[unborn flicker]

Teach me sensei, what melee do you use

[hearty wolf]

FGS

I will let you pick the mark

[pastel turtle]

'fixed an issue where people played psyker instead of bolt pistol bleed/shock arbites'

[hearty wolf]

Because it says a lot about someone's personality

[unborn flicker]

I’ve tried both, one is hoard clear, the other is single target mostly

[hearty wolf]

They're both everything

Gotta know yo attack strings

[unborn flicker]

Neither let you fight against the rager hoard or maulers

[hearty wolf]

Oh they certainly do

[unborn flicker]

In higher level havoc?

[hearty wolf]

You also have 1 button mass deletion button

[unborn flicker]

🧢

[hearty wolf]

Yuh

You can swing from half the map away

Thing has more damage than shotguns prebuff

[unborn flicker]

It’s good at damage but what always always always happens is, 4 ragers find you and mess you up with you either turtling and dying or trying to attack back and dying even more quickly

You can’t backstep fast enough

You can’t push them away without the others shredding while you’re not blocking

[hearty wolf]

Assail

Pewpew

[unborn flicker]

I’ve yet to find a counter to the any hoard that surrounds you, because attempting anything other than blocking means you’re getting ticked by the 5 other people you didn’t hit

[unborn flicker]

It’s ok against ragers but not carapace enemies

[hearty wolf]

Hm

Maybe I need to see a clip

Idk if it's a skill tree issue or gameplay or what

[unborn flicker]

Probably all three

Skill, tree, and class just not meant to deal with that sort of situation

[hearty wolf]

It could be all three yes

But we will never know

Meanwhile as Arby I'm trying to figure out how to die still

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[frail escarp]

is it just me or arby dominates and insta gibs everything in auric malestrom? i seem to not get much dmg out with purgatus bc everything just dies instantly with 3 arbites on my team 😄

[unborn flicker]

Correct

[frail escarp]

i guess ill try a different staff then 😄

[jovial juniper]

Trauma

[unborn flicker]

How do you make people want to buy a new class? Make it really really overtuned

[frail escarp]

i dont think i have a tramua yet, only crafted falme and voidblast so far

[jovial juniper]

Yeah so

Trauma is old name

[frail escarp]

i suppose

[unborn flicker]

Voidstrike

[jovial juniper]

For Voidblast

[frail escarp]

i saw that you can slide around while casting voidblast and that honestly seemd fun 😄

[zinc phoenix]

so hold up

you dont get boosted to whatever you cleared the week before in havoc anymore?

so theres no risk to fucking around with lower tier stuff and no benefit to doing missions above your current level

great system 👍

[deft stump]

Still confused how ppl are dying other than AFK to go drink water mid match.

[hearty wolf]

My latest death was walking into about 12 gunners with no ammo and no stamina and even then, I almost lived

I was surprised. But I guess it's not that surprising.

[hearty wolf]

That means I can capture you for havoc later mwahaha

[frail escarp]

arby tankier than zealot? i havent bought it yet

[hearty wolf]

It's as tanky as your mom

[frail escarp]

wow rude

😄

[hearty wolf]

But yea

[deft stump]

Even oggy dies getting shot at by 12 gunners if nothing is up so...

[hearty wolf]

Much tankier than Zealot imo

[frail escarp]

damn, i thought zealot was already quite amazing compared to psyker tankiness

[hearty wolf]

If I had 1 gunner resistance, I might have lived lul

[deft stump]

Zealot is paper compared to Arbites tbh.

Like how psyker is paper vs zealot.

[frail escarp]

damn, kinda makes me want to play it but i just geared up my psyker

[deft stump]

Is the equiv of...

[radiant frigate]

arbites new tankiest class confirmed?

[deft stump]

I dumped everything into def and CC but still have higher than avg damage.

[deft stump]

IDK, but I managed 0 damage 400 ping run on Auric so...

I don't even take damage from muties since I regen to full between slams.

[unborn flicker]

All class trees need a touch up maybe a little buff here and there, Arby’s needs small nerf

[deft stump]

Why the dook do you want an oggy buff?

[unborn flicker]

Ok yeah fair point

Ogryn is fine

But veteran and psyker could use some love

[deft stump]

You mean busted.

[unborn flicker]

They’re a giant abhuman that could tear a space marine out of their armor in half

But yes

Busted

[hearty wolf]

A crusher overhead does nothing for an Ogryn.

Physically or mentally.

[frail escarp]

btw do we just not take mettle and the talent below it now for infernus?

[prime elk]

you always take it if you have a crit build lol

[frail escarp]

so just the direct flame dmg crits are enough?

i guess that's enough for me, so that i dont have to change shit around 😄

(asked bc of the change to tick dmg not proccing crit buffs)

[stone totem]

But dude
A couple of the class' builds delete rooms a bit better than most of other class' builds

[plucky flax]

Ye you need to play havoc to do damage as payker.

[stone totem]

Having no regeneration when you're not in a situation that is already 100% in your control and being made of paper even when it is is worth it dude

[tepid flame]

i’ve been running a flamestaff brain burst build for havoc is there a more viable build option for horde control

[plucky flax]

Tick damage never proc mettle it could never crit

I dunno what that bug fix is about

[frail escarp]

ooo

okay thank you

[deft stump]

I know, but some gameplay and story segregation is required for some degree of balance.

[stone totem]

Flame staff is one of the couple of builds I was talking about that are ridiculous

[frail escarp]

yeah im not ready to play havoc on my psyker yet 😄

i die too easily when i misposition

[stone totem]

Flame staff is easy mode so it's hard to beat it

[plucky flax]

You can try blaze trauma it's good too

[tepid flame]

i’m just not a huge smite fan don’t get me wrong it’ works great but unless your running Scriers Gaze

[spice oar]

“Fixed banter frequency” I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF IM NOT CRAZY

[unborn flicker]

Trash mobs maybe, but these days I’m seeing ogryns and Arby’s hitting Pysker damage in the scoreboard

[stone totem]

I mean don't get me wrong, peak psyker is extremely silly

[unborn flicker]

Yeahhhh but I like seeing the big guy ragdolling people, is fun

[frail escarp]

my main issue on auric malestroms is that i start building flame stacks on maulers, ragers, shield dudes and they die before i reach 8 stacks or less 😄

[stone totem]

But I just hate that it takes a disproportionate amount of skill compared to the extra benefit

[unborn flicker]

The risk vs reward is not balanced currently

Why play psyker when you can be ogryn

And do a lot of the same

[deft stump]

I know, Arby being able to do it to a degree is funni as well.

[acoustic vessel]

Can someone clarify the hotfix notes related to the inferno staff for me?

Can you no longer crit and apply two stacks? Does the fire only crit when hit with the actual attack?

Or does nothing change and talents that say on crit just don't do anything for the inferno staff?

[deft stump]

It just means burn doesn't trigger things crit does anymore.

Like the crit gives you ghost and such.

[acoustic vessel]

That's sucks. Thought that's how it was supposed to work. That's a fairly big nerf no?

[unborn flicker]

It’s a giant nerf

No passive toughness regen

[prime elk]

nerf?

[unborn flicker]

No passive damage boost

No passive speed boost

[prime elk]

it was literally just a bug before lol

[unborn flicker]

Just pain

[deft stump]

Is actual bug fix but ppl are used to it.

So nerf to them.

[marble crater]

Guess I will play psyker and see if I notice any difference

[acoustic vessel]

Well that bug has been around for a hot minute so I bet everyone just assumed it was supposed to be like that.

[unborn flicker]

It should be a feature

Emperor knows we are squishy and slow enough as it is

[prime elk]

psyker truly suffers 😭

buff assail fatshart, pls

and gaze

[frail escarp]

so wait, mettle did proc off blaze crits?

bc i was told it already didnt

[glacial vapor]

Purgatus staff definitely needed this bug, weapon is dogshit now

[plucky flax]

When did soulblaze dot ever crit?

[acoustic vessel]

Mettle did work.

Very often

[frail escarp]

crap

[plucky flax]

Do you guys just read patch note and cry randomly?

[deft stump]

I think it just did even if not critting.

[acoustic vessel]

I run +crit on it and always have a wild amount of crits at the end

[frail escarp]

i lierally just spent a ton of resources to gear up for this xD

before the patch

[acoustic vessel]

Wouldn't really say crying just discussing lol.

[plucky flax]

It was always the direct damage itself.

[acoustic vessel]

Maybe Trauma cooks now?

[plucky flax]

You never get mettle from the soulblaze.

[frail escarp]

i dont think it's crying to be confused on the mechanics of certain talents

[acoustic vessel]

Hmm maybe I just had huge uptime from secondary and primary?

But I can't remember not having it up lol

[plucky flax]

Yeah your primary crit a bunch if you use warp nexus.

[prime elk]

agent just woke up today and chose violence

[plucky flax]

Even without warp nexus you get 5 stacks perfect timing anyway.

[acoustic vessel]

Lol

[plucky flax]

As long as you're flaming a horde.

Because of purga crit string.

It was never from the soulblaze tick.

[prime elk]

no no mettle is dead bro

it's over

[frail escarp]

fair, i was just wondering bc i heard both: that blaze gave you mettle procs and that it didn't so i was very confused on this 😄

[prime elk]

psyker is done for

[vestal trench]

UnsanctionedCrashout (justified)

[acoustic vessel]

Literally unplayable

[plucky flax]

I just got back I am going to the psykhanium to test now.

[frail escarp]

i'd rather my defensives stayed similar bc i already feel rather squishy on my inferno staff psyker :d

[plucky flax]

But 100% before patch there was never any interaction case with 'burn' critting.

[frail escarp]

that's reassuring

[vestal trench]

trauma staff in this game is how i realize i was never good at conflag staff on sienna in vt2, i just abused the spam tech

[hearty wolf]

I don't think playing Psyker takes much skill tbh

[frail escarp]

i find it the most difficult to survive on

veteran zealot by comparison felt much more forgiving

[hearty wolf]

I think that's probably right. It's more difficult to survive (I think it's easier to survive on than vet)

But the class itself doesn't take much skill

[marble crater]

Rude

[plucky flax]

It feels the same.

The burga.

[zinc phoenix]

is unstable power still incorrectly listing 5% strength as the max?

or is it just bad now?

[deft stump]

Incorrectly still. 20% max from memory.

[plucky flax]

I'm watching some pre patch video and I've never once see perfect timing proc when I am not using the staff to attack.

[vestal trench]

ty for testing

[plucky flax]

Huge nerf guys it's so over.

[unborn flicker]

Fuuuuuuuu

[stone totem]

Depends on loadout

Purgatus staff and deimos

Yeah that's easy

[vestal trench]

im not sure how to use assail on damnation for gunker - do i just start using it for peril gen at that point? seems inefficient for even stragglers

[unborn flicker]

The skill comes from the defense, not the offense

[marble crater]

I will prove you wrong by getting carried in new auric now

[plucky flax]

Use assaisl for peril and for shooters or specials when you want to conserve ammo.

[deft stump]

Don't you carry ppl?

[plucky flax]

Get karien to carry you.

2 controllers better than 1.

[marble crater]

No, I'm not that good

[deft stump]

Lies. Blatant lies here.

[vestal trench]

thanks!

[hearty wolf]

Laughs in KD

[hearty wolf]

To proc MM if you've got it

[unborn flicker]

Cries in pain

[oak echo]

What does warp resistance in a staff do?

[unborn flicker]

All attacks build up peril

Warp resistance dictates how much peril at attack adds

So higher warp resistance means you can fire or attack more before you have to quell

Which is a double edged sword at times because a lot of our kit does better the higher the peril we have

[oak echo]

But isn't warp resistance usually a staff's dump stat?

[vestal trench]

yep

[unborn flicker]

Yes

[unborn flicker]

For this reason

[gray juniper]

Gaze and assail are the strongest all around blitz and ability to combine for most regular levels right now. If they made assail do more hurt you’d have one dimensional assail spammers replace the smite spammers

[verbal thistle]

You can see what exactly a stat does by inspecting it

[prime elk]

Assail still needs help. Trust. 🥺

[oak echo]

Blessings and perks on voidblast staves?

[unborn flicker]

There’s a kickass website

[serene stream]

Apparently, you can no longer trigger On-Crit talents from the DoT ticks from Purgatus staff, anymore.

[vestal trench]

how did they end up toning assail down from release? i heard it was rough and walking simulator af

[unborn flicker]

Search darktide builds on Google, click first link

[vestal trench]

#psyker-class message

[hearty wolf]

Rending blessings affected assail

[gray juniper]

@unborn flicker push block works on ragers in higher difficulty. Forgive me for only having near parallel but I’m not past havoc 25 for now, but it definitely works there for what that’s worth. Either the push distance was buffed or I’m using it the right way now
Try making your reflex to push down any ragers on sight if you see any more than one. Back dodge or just immediately push another if there’s time. Whip out assail to stagger if you need to

[hearty wolf]

I'll leave it to your imagination what that meant xd

[serene stream]

Just tried it on meat grinder, was only getting the On-Crit talents to trigger when directly applying with purg staff
