psyker-class

[vestal trench]

lmfao jesus christ, understood

[gray juniper]

Yea ngl it sucks in some ways. I use it only for stagger to close the distance, interrupt gunners or buy breathing room. But it still serves a decent purpose while causing some damage

[plucky flax]

It never happened.

[serene stream]

I was heavily relying on the on-crit, 1 sec dodge range attacks, from the fire ticks, in higher difficulties [especially havoc]

[serene stream]

Before, I was able to get multiple triggers of the on-crit dodge range attacks, while the fire dots ticked on the horde.

[plucky flax]

It was from the torrent of your flame staff.

Not from the dot.

[unborn flicker]

Wish it was the dot

https://tenor.com/view/breakingbad-comeatme-gusfring-fearnoone-creepy-gif-3522810

Psykers if it used dot ^

[vestal trench]

game should make melee staff viable

psyker but it's sifu

[unborn flicker]

Bruh we are fucking mages

And the goddamn special

Is to whack

[vestal trench]

based

[unborn flicker]

Whoever the psyker dev is, I’d like a word

[gray juniper]

Kinda ballsy ngl

[vestal trench]

ancient technique from psyker teacher to psyker student, primarily when psyker student is fucking up

[heady maple]

So they fixed something that never happened anyway? I feel like I'm missing something here

[serene stream]

You've heard Boot to the Head, now prepare for Stick to the Head

[vestal trench]

i wanna see a world's first havoc 40 primarily building around staff melee

[stone totem]

Assail is one of the actually great things about psyker

It kind of carries my poopoo dclaw/revolver build

[plucky flax]

Ye it was just weird.

[stone totem]

Cracked on Scrier's too

[unborn flicker]

It’s because you can actually use it on the go and it does both cc and damage

[vestal trench]

ayo how were the dclaw buffs?

[stone totem]

I noticed nothing tbh

[unborn flicker]

Wait what

[stone totem]

But tbf last time I used dclaw pre-buff was on zealot so

[unborn flicker]

I’m using it now

[stone totem]

Bit of a difference between psyker and zealot melee

[vestal trench]

i used it to pair with plasma on vet w/ weapon spec

[unborn flicker]

It got buffed?

Parry is goated

[vestal trench]

yea bunch of weaps got buffed with the cop update

[unborn flicker]

I thought that was at a later date

They gave us a preview

[vestal trench]

nope, same patch

just double checked rn too

[plucky flax]

The dog walking around accidentally bump into an enemy and that gives them 8 stacks of bleed. Seems legit.

[unborn flicker]

What’s the buff exactly?

seems the same

[vestal trench]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1361210/view/520842750961123617?l=english

[prime elk]

Jokes aside, assails actually completely busted right now and shouldn’t have been buffed but I don’t make balance decisions lol

[unborn flicker]

Underwhelming

But ty

[gray juniper]

Wew lad

[plucky flax]

@deft stump do you want to carry us in h40 or you already did it this week.

?

[gray juniper]

Nah nah nah slow down there hoss. It’s just fine where it is, no give or taking from it. Let’s not get too loud before the devs hear you

[verbal thistle]

assail

[gray juniper]

Venting shriek has a long ass cool down if you don’t take warp siphon though. Maybe they could split the middle the middle on cool down time

[unborn flicker]

Can’t spell assail without ass

Jk, it’s good

[oak echo]

This work on specialists and disablers or only on maulers/gunners/ragers?

[verbal thistle]

only elites

[oak echo]

Shotgunners considered an elite or a specialist?

[lone ravine]

elite.

[oak echo]

Huh. Guess someone must have killed it when I blew up

[gray juniper]

Yes shotgunners are

[verbal thistle]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/16W_MhzUGXv9WRVjXjowIyqlktqrJ8U5wxVlgX3X5TU8/edit?tab=t.0

page 5

shows each type of enemy

[marble crater]

Okay the new auric difficulty is noticeable

That's good

[vestal trench]

oh so it and damnation actually get easier last patch? it wasn't just vibes?

[covert saffron]

All the specialists are grouped together in the psykanium, and the elites are the ones not in that group, idk why the elites aren't grouped up tight like that but yeah

[deft stump]

Haven't done. Am having supper atm.

[vestal trench]

wallahi im cooked, damnation already makes me sweat

[indigo thunder]

How to kill the damn bosses with Psyker?

[marble crater]

Auric was supposed to get more difficult with modifiers, now it is

[hollow current]

gun

[covert saffron]

poke em in the eye

[marble crater]

Let the ogryn deal with it

[indigo thunder]

I poke them with ds but it barely tickles them compared to other classes

[hollow current]

https://tenor.com/view/bruce-wizard-delete-this-gun-gif-14009553

[covert saffron]

Yeah they're not a boss killing specialist like ogryn and zealot can be

but they can still put out decent damage

[hearty wolf]

Thank you for your about me

I feel fulfilled

[prime elk]

yeah I enjoy my assail maxing build

[gray juniper]

I want this vid lol but it won’t let me save it

[hollow current]

I typed in "gun wizard" in the gif thingy and it came up

[frail escarp]

good to know ty ffor testing it

[hearty wolf]

@strong gulch @nocturne dust going to nap now since I think this is when I'm supposed to sleep before we begin gaming

[plucky flax]

@deft stump already playing.

[deft stump]

Ah, is okay then. Another day.

Or later, I dunno. Just poke me whenever.

[ripe obsidian]

Doggo bleed got fixed. Is it a must-take for dog builds now?

[dull scroll]

It's only slightly less OP than doggo bleed pistol cheese, and it's legit/constant

absolute taker

[plucky flax]

It won't show up on scoreboard though.

So it's a nerf to your ego.

[dull scroll]

wtf

[summer prairie]

did you know smite heavy attacks shock dot also doesn't

[ripe obsidian]

I thought so. Just gotta figure out what point to move.

I liked the idea of it before, but it didn't work, so I avoided it

[dull scroll]

but honestly even the pistol doggo bleed is like ~150k, nothing noteworthy on paper, but very good practically due to the burst

[unborn flicker]

Gah why is arbites playing doom while the rest of us are playing dark souls

[ripe obsidian]

Because it has 800 TDR nodes

And 700 damage reduction ones

[gentle hamlet]

500,000 dockets later

[zinc phoenix]

cast that shit into the fire

[patent steeple]

why? is having 60% or below peril res not good on inferno staff anymore?

[marble crater]

It's still the best roll

[ripe obsidian]

Wait, why does the dog bleed sometimes give 16 stacks now? What.

[dusk pasture]

"Fixed an issue where Psyker 'on critical hit' talents would trigger when burn stacks are active on enemies."
is that mean they nerfed inferno staff + crit build?

[marble crater]

No

[dull scroll]

I spent a fortune on this, but now I don't even use it anymore, the normal 60 res is better, vent CD just can't keep up with pic, too hot

[gentle hamlet]

I don’t really have an issue with peril, if anything with my 60 wr staff I cant built it a fast enough

[zinc phoenix]

because its funny

[gentle hamlet]

Like I loose toughness way too fast with warp nexus and mettle

[marble crater]

It was bugged, now it's fixed again. Nothing changed really, I didn't notice any difference in my psyker game earlier

[dusk pasture]

ufff

[patent steeple]

I think this means that Soulblaze could activate on crit effects due to a bug...?

[jovial juniper]

"Fixed"

[ripe obsidian]

Testing briefly, the dog bleed fix increases DPS by almost double on human-sized enemies. Something like a 30% increase on Ogryns

[jovial juniper]

Dog legit has a crazier version of ogryns Bullrush pulverize

[ripe obsidian]

I'm going from ~350 DPS on a mauler to ~600

It also refreshes the bleed each attack if an enemy is pinned

[marble crater]

Dogs better boys than ogryns, confirmed?

[patent steeple]

also, btw, I feel like having 60 mobility on a dclaw is not enough for my psyker playstyle (I think at least 65-70 mobility would be enough for me, just because with 60 my dodge range is slightly too garbage...).

[jovial juniper]

Nuh uh

Ogryn 2 ton dog

Small dog mecha dog

[ripe obsidian]

~330 to ~600 DPS on a Scab Rager as well. This bleed is actually OP

[jovial juniper]

16 stacks of bleed

Bloodletter dog

[unborn flicker]

You don’t dodge, you parry

[ripe obsidian]

This is my new build. Blood for the Blood Dog.

[unborn flicker]

The dog emperor of reject kind

[marble crater]

"Purgatus is not played with crits since we have access to blaze away. Peoples still using crit purgatus either dont know how crits works or dont have clues of game's mechanics. "

[jovial juniper]

Whatever. Go my cyber mastiff

[young cliff]

Was the Psyker perk that gives you peril for faster reload fixed? I remember it still gives you 25% instead of 15%

[ripe obsidian]

What

[marble crater]

Reddit moment

[unborn flicker]

What

Redditors are literally the worst people to have darktide discussions with

They think they are gods gift to havoc

[summer prairie]

Seems like mettle can proc multiple times per attack and perfect timing can't. One voidstrike shot gives all toughness back with just mettle

[patent steeple]

ah yes, I will just parry:

• bomber AoEs of both gas and fire varieties
• flamer fire trails
• ranged attacks (I am trying to dodge into cover)

[jovial juniper]

Hold on

Fr?

[young cliff]

I don't think purgatus should need crits, but is not something bad, what are this folks thinking? That they get less damage on crit?

[jovial juniper]

They brought old mettle back

[unborn flicker]

Oh yeah with those you just wanna slide

Don’t dodge

[patent steeple]

I struggle to slide sideways (too high Dexterity stat requirement for my fingers)

[jovial juniper]

Alright

VoidSTRIKE buff

[unborn flicker]

The crits are less for the crits and more for the skills that proc off of crits

[unborn flicker]

What’s mettle again?

[marble crater]

[patent steeple]

crits give toughness and move speed.

[ripe obsidian]

I do not have Soulstealer

[unborn flicker]

Bingo

[jovial juniper]

5% toughness

And 5% move speed for 4 seconds that stacks 3 times

[summer prairie]

Trauma also gives back all toughness

[ripe obsidian]

This seems unintended

[marble crater]

[jovial juniper]

Possibly

Until fixed

Psyker buffs

[unborn flicker]

Wish they made the stacks fall off one at a time

[marble crater]

We are so back

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/he-cant-keep-getting-away-with-it-gif-19335672

[ripe obsidian]

True Aim + Mettle Trauma meta when?

[unborn flicker]

So uh, this intentional or a bug?

[ripe obsidian]

Probably unintentional. Mettle was nerfed a while ago to be one stack per attack, not per enemy hit

[unborn flicker]

Because if we can do this, I’ll be a lot happier with pysker

[analog agate]

Yeah. They intentionally nerfed it. Doubt they would do that and then not announce the change

[unborn flicker]

Smh

[summer prairie]

EK can proc mettle twice on one target

[ripe obsidian]

Pfft

[unborn flicker]

For the love of god emperor, fatshark don’t nerf this

[unborn flicker]

EK?

[summer prairie]

surge staff

[ripe obsidian]

tbh it probably should be nerfed again. Even if I do want my Psyker to generate toughness like an Arbites

[unborn flicker]

It’s only on kills right?

[analog agate]

When it was old mettle VB staff was insane. You couldn’t take damage ever

[ripe obsidian]

Mettle is on crit

[analog agate]

Now you have to dodge

[unborn flicker]

Oh shit

[summer prairie]

but it's old mettle again

[marble crater]

[ripe obsidian]

Blood for the Blood Dog, Crits for the Crit Psyker

10/10 hotfix, totally balanced

[marble crater]

Not 10/10, people are mad about the arby cloaks showing the number now

[gray juniper]

Nah let it stay for now. When some upstart arby gets hot in the pants and wants to speed run you can show him how it’s done with psyker foot speed on top

[vestal trench]

is the general risk/reward ratio of psyker being a glass cannon generally well-received across difficulties? like, is the strength worth the squishiness?

[marble crater]

Yes

[gray juniper]

If it somehow makes the EK more viable I’d appreciate it

[marble crater]

Psyker scales very well into higher density and difficulty

[gray juniper]

What does the number show?

[vestal trench]

awesome, good to know. I love playing those archetypes but too often other games make it feel like working harder for marginal gains

[summer prairie]

and of course FGS beam proces mettle a million times on crit

[vestal trench]

whatever your precinct number is from the char creation

[gray juniper]

How can you be mad about that lol

I’m torrent beat cop btw

[vestal trench]

some people just didn't like it on the cape aesthetically

which is subjective, theyre well within their rights not to tbh

hope they just add an option so everyone's happy

[ripe obsidian]

Everyone is mad about everything all the time. It's easier to be mad than happy, because being mad gives you a target.

[vestal trench]

then again, it might be a GW mandate

[ripe obsidian]

See: politics literally everywhere in the world

[gray juniper]

When you get boosts on FGS kill 🙌🙌

[ripe obsidian]

From Kitefin: "We’re currently investigating an issue introduced in Hotfix #70 where precinct decals are showing in Arbites capes. "

[gray juniper]

Too philosophical. Next you’re going to get into self agency and actualization 😉

[unborn flicker]

You’re only a cannon against hoards. Your single target damage isn’t the best and armored targets tend to run you down and kill you

[ripe obsidian]

My personal anger is against people making political decisions that impact countless other people based on demagoguery and propaganda that makes them feel angry at things that don't actually impact them in any meaningful way.

[gray juniper]

With gaze on speed it might become stupid fast tho

[ripe obsidian]

But I am going to stop waxing political before I say dumb things.

[unborn flicker]

I love combining that with the disrupt destiny speed, zooming for just 3 seconds but it’s the fastest three seconds

[gray juniper]

It’s meant for gaze tho. Try it with gaze and the speed node. You’ll see what I mean

[unborn flicker]

I don’t want to gun pysker tho

Shield is superior

[gray juniper]

Circling enemies and pounding them with lasgun head shots until moving on to the next one

[unborn flicker]

I can’t outrun 8 gunners

[sinful peak]

hello can anyone join me for a private match, 2 mins

[jovial juniper]

Warp Slice is finally useful

[sinful peak]

need to test a mod

[gray juniper]

Depends on your team

[jovial juniper]

[unborn flicker]

Oml the guaranteed crit

Immediate refresh

[unborn flicker]

It always depends on that

I’m talking most reliable build 9/10 times in high havoc

[gray juniper]

Malefic motion, warp speed, mettle, destiny. Literally warp speed and i have lol

[unborn flicker]

It doesn’t last long enough does it?

[gray juniper]

Idk about high as you play, but if someone else is going shield or there’s a shout veteran I won’t worry about it and probably at least try gun psyker

[jovial juniper]

EE

https://tenor.com/view/touhou-player-rain-bullet-hell-avoid-gif-25730203

[unborn flicker]

Isn’t multiple psyker usually throwing?

[ripe obsidian]

I'm thinking this as a left keystone Arby build. Dropped the +15% damage to enemies you stagger for doggo bleed. Not sure what else I would drop.

[unborn flicker]

Man look at that tree

So many nodes

I’ve got tree envy

[ripe obsidian]

Nah. You can play multiple Psyker. Issue is mostly if you're all doing Soulblaze builds.

B/c there is but one Soulblaze to rule them all, and you're all competing for it

[gray juniper]

It does because I take crack of bone and reality anchor with it. Gaze stops because I run out of enemies

[vestal trench]

oof, so no inferno and voidblast?

[gray juniper]

Don’t understand

[summer prairie]

two soulblaze builds is fine as long as one of them is shriek

[vestal trench]

oh right i forget bubble is standard when you get to that diff

[unborn flicker]

I wish i remembered these nodes

[gray juniper]

And shriek away from someone else stacks pwetty pweeze

[ripe obsidian]

I think with this build I am doing ~2400 DPS to an Auric plague ogryn without any of the +damage to monsters stacks

[gray juniper]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f33d4ba-5804-4491-bc5a-1dc24fe93a81/gaze-with-recon-lasgun

[north hatch]

Mk3 shock maul still the best?

[unborn flicker]

I’m seeing the potential

But I still hate going gun psyker

Why not just be vet if you want to use a gun

[vestal trench]

huh, mk xiv over mkii?

[gray juniper]

Shards, destiny

[vestal trench]

bc gun psyker snorts warp crack and gaze is goated

[gray juniper]

You have more in the bag tbh

[gray juniper]

Burning that warp meth is life in the fast lane

[vestal trench]

i dont even see it as off-theme tbh, thousand sons with their warpmagic boosted bolters and all that

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon5-dodge-viper-drive-fast-driving-gif-6312718399616541451

[vestal trench]

but yeah, never thought to ask which recon mark is best for gunker

i always just assumed mkxii for faster infernus stacking

[gray juniper]

You get to disrupt someone’s destiny. You annihilate them on the physical and astral plane

[north hatch]

I love snorting tsons

[vestal trench]

magnus did nothing wrong

[unborn flicker]

He fucked up

Let’s be straight

[north hatch]

Magnus did quite a bit wrong tbh

[unborn flicker]

But it came from a good place

He just happened to be a little slow mentally

So to speak

[north hatch]

I mean if Big E says mortarian can be redeemed then so can magns

[unborn flicker]

He needs his good shard

[vestal trench]

big e said mortarion can be redeemed? damn

i really need to look into more loyalist lore, they just bore me 😩

.......except the dark angels, love those sickos

[unborn flicker]

Was that before or after he threw down with girlyman?

[summer prairie]

Mysterious

[gray juniper]

So you guys have psyker book suggestions?

[ripe obsidian]

Is that a hairstyle?

[summer prairie]

no

[ripe obsidian]

Just going by context clues.

[north hatch]

During

Mortarian bodies him and big e posesse his body iirc

[unborn flicker]

Dad got mad

[fierce crest]

anyone wanna help me get malleus monstronum?

[gray juniper]

Sure

[fierce crest]

huzzah

D:

[gray juniper]

lol ok can I have a minute?

Be there soon 😘

[fierce crest]

take your time

[gray juniper]

Ok I’m am officially online

Damn that invite cancelled out for some reason @fierce crest

One minute

I’ll add you

[fierce crest]

says youre in my squad

[gray juniper]

True I just saw that

That was a wild one

Big prop on doing plague ogryn for the penance. Not easy

[fierce crest]

i clearly wasnt paying enough attention to dogs and trappers

but at least its only 50% now

not so bad

[plucky flax]

With syllo's patch my dawg's damage is kinda insane with a nice split between dog/shock mine/bleed. Not counting the bleed from the pounce itself.

Semi-afk gaming.

[hearty wolf]

I just woke up from a nap

[hearty wolf]

So does Syllo's plugin attribute bleed damage?

[plucky flax]

Yeah from the shockmine explosion.

Dogmine*

But not from the razor claw talent.

That bleed is something else. Dog bleed.

It's lost in the void.

[summer prairie]

It's not even dog bleed

[hearty wolf]

No 😭

[gray juniper]

Shock mine is so useful on havoc

[summer prairie]

Just straight to void bleed

[nocturne dust]

Wonder when they'll finally nuke puncture

[hearty wolf]

O hello

[plucky flax]

Why? It's a real trick.

It's not like it's cheat.

[nocturne dust]

O Hai

[hearty wolf]

Game?

[nocturne dust]

Not broken broken, but it is causing a lot of unintended interactions

[ripe obsidian]

Dogbleed is absurd

[nocturne dust]

In an hour maybe?

[hearty wolf]

Kk

[plucky flax]

The new dog bleed on pounce though is kinda insane boss dps.

Just sic it on the monster and run around.

Like a squirrel.

[nocturne dust]

new dog bleed?

[plucky flax]

Ye it used to not bleed the boss.

Now it does.

[nocturne dust]

Oh, they changed the annoying radius?

[plucky flax]

It's fartshart magic.

[nocturne dust]

[plucky flax]

Don't question it.

[summer prairie]

The radius is the same but it applies it 1-2 times on everything hit

[nocturne dust]

Been thinking about a dog build but I love Forceful too much, lol

[summer prairie]

And constantly on the pounced target

[nocturne dust]

Didn't it have a weird exclusion area if you were too close?

or some weirdness with how it applied

[summer prairie]

Yes, but that may have been there so the pounced target doesn't get hit twice

By stagger and on pounce

But now it gets constant 16 stacks anyway

[strong gulch]

Mettle change?

[nocturne dust]

Change of plans, probably won't be able to play today 😔

[plucky flax]

Forceful? Is that the right keystone?

[nocturne dust]

yeh

[ripe obsidian]

The bleed stacks fall off before the second pounce, for what it's worth

[plucky flax]

Ah fair.

[plucky flax]

I top up the bleed with bistol.

Keep it going.

Bleed and shock.

[ripe obsidian]

I know you do

Puncture abuser. >:(

[ripe obsidian]

My build is dog + forceful

[nocturne dust]

Yeh, is neat

[ripe obsidian]

I do get outdamaged by Execution Order folks, but alas

[strong gulch]

I have too much skill issue in live game for puncture abuse.

[ripe obsidian]

Since EO increases dog damage by an insane amount

[nocturne dust]

I'll never abuse puncture because I have to use 🅱️istol to do it 🤢

[ripe obsidian]

In Auric Psykhanium on an EO build, my dog does... 1000 DPS to a shotgunner. Which I guess just means it kills it before 1 second elapses

[plucky flax]

Me walk around blocking boss die extremely based gaming with the new bleed.

[ripe obsidian]

...is the dog supposed to count for coherency without the aura node?

[strong gulch]

I give up typing this sentance. Brains bad

[plucky flax]

No.

But it gives you toughness with that node on the left.

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, I think this was a psykhanium bug. Because it was.

Stagger aura, but dog coherency

[plucky flax]

There are 2 different dog toughness. One is aura one is within 5 or 8 metres of the dog.

[minor wedge]

Yo.
Does this outfit check out or should I change something ?

[ripe obsidian]

I know. I had neither

And had a 2 for the coherency indicator

[marble crater]

Looks good

[hearty wolf]

:(

[nocturne dust]

At least not for some indeterminate amount of time which will probably be after you go to bed

[plucky flax]

I play havoc much better on shield dawg compared to shock maul shock mine right keystone.

I think because I throw mine and no one wants to hit electrocuted enemies.

[ripe obsidian]

Here's a potential bug: dog killing an EO target with bleed doesn't restore toughness

Or actually count for EO going off

[thorn cedar]

Yeah the bleed has no owner.

[summer prairie]

Probably doesn't trigger anything since the bleed has no owner

[ripe obsidian]

I did know that. Didn't grok the implications

[plucky flax]

Void bleed.

Just accept it.

The dog is from the warp.

[summer prairie]

But

If you first apply some bleed

Then it's yours

Works on boss with puncture I guess

[hearty wolf]

Next patch: "Bolter has been removed because of puncture"

[nocturne dust]

what shield?

[summer prairie]

I don't know what happens when you apply e.g. puncture bleed after the target already has ownerless bleed

[plucky flax]

I use the heavy spam single target shield.

it feels better to me.

I think more people use the other shield tho.

[nocturne dust]

dunno which mk that is

[plucky flax]

I think 11

The other one is 6 maybe.,

[hearty wolf]

I would assume it's owned by a placeholder ID but that should be easy to test

[plucky flax]

I actually use the shield special fairly often

Its just very cool

[ripe obsidian]

The shield special is very good

Why wouldn't you use it?

[plucky flax]

No damage increase

Dps loss when not hitting

[nocturne dust]

Dps loss when dead hurts more

[thorn cedar]

Incorrect because it staggers and suppresses so there's not nothing.

[frail escarp]

haha realized i was playing with my inferno blaze away staff without actually using the blessing, i kept releasing the right mouse button 😄

[thorn cedar]

Blaze Away stacks up so fast it doesn't really matter tbh lmao

[nocturne dust]

the blessing still works even with lmb spam

It's just free extra damage, lol

[frail escarp]

i saw that it was resetting

when i let go of right mouse

[nocturne dust]

Did they change it in the patch?

[frail escarp]

well maybe im just using it different, but what i did was push m2 then m1 to do the charged attacks and that definitles reset my stacks, didnt even know you can holy m2, i read it somewhere here 😄

[ripe obsidian]

No. Can still charge to ~40% and keep stacks

[frail escarp]

chaining m1 doesnt break it for me

[nocturne dust]

Well, then... uh, attack faster?

[frail escarp]

but the whole fuckery i did with letting go of m2 does for me for sure

[nocturne dust]

It shouldn't reset if you chain RMBs or LMBs

[frail escarp]

in the meat grinder it definitely falls off if i try to do charged attack and let go for m2

i mean im sure most ppl dont use it that way

i just assumed i had to

[ripe obsidian]

Stacks stay up

[frail escarp]

and you let go of m2?

that's rly weird bc im testing it right now and they fall off for me

[strong gulch]

If you take too long to charge and cast, BA stacks expire.

[frail escarp]

oh

shit

ye

ok i can do it faster and it doesnt sorry

my bad

[azure quarry]

Why is Voidstrike dump radius? Is it just for big targets or is Voidstrike just bad compared to others?

[nocturne dust]

lol, I did say attack faster

[frail escarp]

i thought i was 😄

it has a rythm

[nocturne dust]

Blast Radius only affects the end explosion of Voidstrike

the end explosion of the ball staff is crap

You want to cleave enemies with the ball, the end explosion does basically nothing

[azure quarry]

That makes sense

[marble crater]

I wish it did something, just so we could tell everyone to dump warp res on everything

Oh well

[wooden sand]

I never saw anyone dump radius ever

What source are you observing this?

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/mouxy-cotorep-aveugle-debile-esquiver-gif-20546128

[wooden sand]

Exactly

They are blind by dumping radius

[azure quarry]

The guide and here. Actually multiple people here said to dump radius

[wooden sand]

Interestingly

Very interestingly

I dump warp resistance

[nocturne dust]

Any experienced voidstrike player will tell you to dump radius, they're just being obtuse

[wooden sand]

What, I lose more warp than gain warp

[strong gulch]

VS is blast radius dump. Has been.

[nocturne dust]

Technically speaking, as long as you finish the mission with more than 0% peril, you gained more warp than lost. You cannot lose more warp than you gain.

🤓

[strong gulch]

You CAN dump WR if you want, but that's not the meta dump when you're going for weakspots.

[nocturne dust]

Even without weakspots, it's not the meta dump

[wooden sand]

Wait a second

Voidstrike

Voidblast

[nocturne dust]

because you can fire an extra time when you don't dump res

[wooden sand]

[nocturne dust]

https://tenor.com/view/blunder-princess-bride-you-fool-gullible-gotcha-gif-14120688

[wooden sand]

Oh well I still dump Warp resistance

[nocturne dust]

and I dump damage sometimes

[strong gulch]

The slight peril gen mitigation you get is better than what you get from blast radius; especially when you don't path into warp siphon and ER is very expensive to get too.

[jovial juniper]

Welcome to Fatshark

Trauma wasn't cool

So they renamed to voidBLAST

[nocturne dust]

Trauma was pretty traumatic

[spare comet]

voidblast is still WR dump right

[nocturne dust]

They had to rename it. Give newer players a blast when learning names.

[spare comet]

there's no secret other trick with it

?

[nocturne dust]

yes

[strong gulch]

Baby's first staff. 😭

[wooden sand]

Leaned with Tanner

[nocturne dust]

All weapons with warp res dump warp res except Voidstrike

because of course we have to have 1 exception to the rule

You didn't saw Zealots most peak build then

[azure quarry]

I think one of my Staves I have quell speed dumped

I still remember being excited about unlocking my first trauma staff, going into the mission as a proper psyker

Then I casted it a few times and blew up

Game hazing baby psykers for no reason.

[azure quarry]

I play the non tank version of that

[marble crater]

And because it was Trauma I didn't even hit anything

[azure quarry]

But yea, VS is for large deletion right?

[nocturne dust]

Uuuuuhhhh

Sure, let's go with that

[azure quarry]

I mean like Ogryn, monster, etc

[nocturne dust]

Ha, no

[jovial juniper]

Hey deadvoid

Did you hear it

Old mettle is back

[nocturne dust]

Voidstrike can 1-shot some of them, but can be kinda slow

[nocturne dust]

No I did not

[azure quarry]

Then how do I use VS?

[marble crater]

Ideally you don't

[nocturne dust]

By oneshotting big groups of enemies

[strong gulch]

VS is not great against monsters and can struggle against bulwarks. Good at softer elites.

[nocturne dust]

It'll be weaker than voidblast tho

[spare comet]

i like voidblast

[gray juniper]

You literally need people in a like for it to work best

[strong gulch]

That's why I was aksin about mettle. I haven't fired up the game yet.

[marble crater]

Psyker mettle is so back

[nocturne dust]

We're so back Staffkers

[strong gulch]

I KNEW PERFECT TIMING WAS DIFFERENT.

[jovial juniper]

Then proc mettle 32 times and hard crash

[marble crater]

[north hatch]

Is this a staff only thing or can guns with pen also benefit from this

[nocturne dust]

https://youtu.be/KDE17OkUGvw
Line em up, knock em down

[jovial juniper]

Can benefit from it

[gray juniper]

Brb gonna run high res low quell void strike on gaze

[azure quarry]

Ah so just fire at groups and not worry about headshots?

[strong gulch]

Try on 1 enemy. Purg with crap mettle was still behaving like that in a horde.

like a monster

[gray juniper]

Nah forget that. High res high quell on VS. never stop gazing into the abyss

[marble crater]

You should still get head shots of course

[gray juniper]

Yea like aim for the neck if all else fails

[azure quarry]

Well yeah but I meant I shouldn't only go for those

[strong gulch]

blast radius

[nocturne dust]

You always want to hit headshots, but for trash horde you can kinda ignore it

for big boys, hit head

especially crushers

[azure quarry]

Yeah that's what I meant lol

[nocturne dust]

Also, youtube is claiming my Disco Aquila vids

the unlisted ones that nobody sees and have no ads 😭

[strong gulch]

I expect nothing less.

[ripe obsidian]

Here's another

[strong gulch]

[glacial vapor]

So what happened? Does mettle crash the game again?

[jovial juniper]

Oh no, that was just a joke

But mettle went back to old mettle

Where you could proc it multiple times with a single crit

It's probably some woopsies by FS this time

[ripe obsidian]

I wonder if some dev was accidentally using an old version of the code when they did their pull request

[glacial vapor]

[summer prairie]

It's not the old code

[strong gulch]

From video posted here, purg doesn't seem to act like it did with old mettle compared to now mettle

Still need to fire up the game.

[hearty wolf]

ilike game

we needd to try the new auric too

[strong gulch]

hope the new board also looks better

also hi

[hearty wolf]

hi

[ripe obsidian]

What do you want tested?

I can get another video

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/hulk-you-guys-are-so-screwed-now-you-guys-are-ahhh-ha-ahhh-ha-hulk-gif-23490086

[strong gulch]

Lots of things. Mostly how purg / inferno with nexus interacts with mettle procs on horde vs a monster with no other toughness gen talents. Perfect timing procs and EE procs as well.

[ripe obsidian]

Bosses are still 1 stack at a time if not hitting anything else

[strong gulch]

preferably old mettle as well. when was mettle nerfed?? I forgor. I'll have to dig to see if I can find that time. I wonder if I have videos.

[pine shore]

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

[ripe obsidian]

Perfect timing is also one stack at a time

[summer prairie]

No you can get more than one from a boss when channelling

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, for each tick of damage, sure

But not max at once like with a horde

[jovial juniper]

Doesn't seem like it

[ripe obsidian]

If you have 3 crits in a row on a boss in a single channeled RMB, you get 3 stacks. If you have 1 crit on 3 enemies, you get 3 stacks

[summer prairie]

The changes are only related to mettle and perfect timing specifically

[fierce crest]

[jovial juniper]

It seems like "burning enemies would count as crit"

[ripe obsidian]

Perfect Timing still stacks once per crit, regardless of the number of enemies hit

[pine shore]

I think burning enemies used to be able to proc it

And they shoulnd't be doing it now

[plucky flax]

Nein.

Soulblaze never proc any crit effects.

[pine shore]

Then what got fixed exactly?

[plucky flax]

Trauma mettle.

[analog agate]

Is VB mettle fixed or bugged the question.

[ripe obsidian]

VB mettle is a silly thing now

[strong gulch]

And any fallout from the fix.

Perfect timing nerf happened before this mettle change. How long ago? no clue

[analog agate]

It would return it to an insanely tanky staff that you don’t need to dodge in hordes to avoid dmg like you had to adjust to

[summer prairie]

Now you can run it with SG

[analog agate]

No shriek would make me sad

[mighty olive]

the patch went live right? for the crit fire fix? am still getting stacks like crazy

mettle and perfect timing i mean

[summer prairie]

No one knows what the patch note is even supposed to mean

[mighty olive]

ahh got it >_<

[analog agate]

Classic fat shark wording

[hearty wolf]

They fixed a problem that doesn't exist

[mighty olive]

makes sense xD

[hearty wolf]

This is why it takes them 3 years to give any meaningful bug fixes or content

[ripe obsidian]

You're getting more stacks than before.

Mettle is supercharged

[strong gulch]

You mean back to normal on VB

[marble crater]

Psyker after the hot fix

[ripe obsidian]

I need 3 more wins to get H40. This will help.

[hearty wolf]

@ripe obsidian now?

[ripe obsidian]

I have to take my cat to the vet in ~20 minutes

[hearty wolf]

fock

[marble crater]

Oh no

[hearty wolf]

i pray for kitty health

[marble crater]

Heretic

[ripe obsidian]

It's just a follow-up. He has a recurring upper respiratory issue

So no emergency right now

But thank you

[hearty wolf]

aw

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, so it seems like they didn't remove the old bleed behavior from the dog? It still inconsistently applies 8 stacks in an AOE on pounce, in addition to the now consistent 8 to staggered enemies

So sometimes enemies get 16 stacks, sometimes 8

I just pounced one elite with another on either side. Middle one got 8, left got 8, right got 16.

[upper sun]

@marble crater

[strong gulch]

wtf 😭

[marble crater]

Fuck the batarian colonies I'm guessing?

[jovial juniper]

Still crazier than Ogryns Bullrush pulverize

5 stacks

[upper sun]

they have slavery still

[marble crater]

True

Maybe I should play mass effect again after I'm finished with BG3

[ripe obsidian]

A lot of the time, they'll all get 16. I think the way it's working is that they're staggered 2x, once from the midair jump, once from the landing, and each applies 8 stacks

[marble crater]

Arbites is the most balanced class

[jovial juniper]

Well yes but actually no

[ripe obsidian]

But it's still inconsistent. One of them here only got 8, despite being right on top of the target

[jovial juniper]

Also why are you sending your dog to attack ragers

The dog will get rabies like that

😭

[ripe obsidian]

Oh no

[hearty wolf]

then they apply a poison DoT

Fuck the dog, for the imperium!

How to turn dog into Poxhound 101

[ripe obsidian]

At least at Auric levels, if you happen to get the 16 stacks on surrounding elites, it kills most of them

So 1 pounce kills X gunners if they're bunched up

[gray juniper]

Bye bye batarian scum

[marble crater]

I took a med stim into the valkyrie with me, which means I used it on my dog

[zinc phoenix]

wait so i can havoc trauma now because mettle?

[ripe obsidian]

Probably

[zinc phoenix]

nice

[sinful peak]

trauma has always been goated in havoc

[zinc phoenix]

i continued to take mettle out of habit

[zinc phoenix]

me lying to myself like:

nah the issue has always been for me that taking trauma in havoc has always been tricky when pugging because no boss dmg

except from sword

[sinful peak]

you have teammates for that

[zinc phoenix]

yeah

about that

i am pugging

so the team is legit always one melon short of a full load

i should just play barbie and hard carry but i love me psyker

[hearty wolf]

i am redi for havok

[sinful peak]

people at h40 generally know what they're doing, I take care of hordes and specials and... everything that's not a boss, and the local ogryn goes to town on bosses

[zinc phoenix]

i stopped grinding for h40 because i dont want to play that often

already have the h40 title and ts so whats the point

[gray juniper]

There’s no shortage of people blatantly hoping for a carry in havoc

When your pubby

[sinful peak]

it's fun

[zinc phoenix]

meh

[deft stump]

So, silly build time with brittle bleed doggo?

[ripe obsidian]

Seems like it'd be decent. Problem is that the bleed stacks fall off pretty quickly on bigger enemies, since the dog takes breaks between pounces

[mighty olive]

omfg you're so right, ROFL xD

[ripe obsidian]

It's probably unintentional, but enjoy it while it lasts. Become immortal

[deft stump]

Looks at bistol.

[ripe obsidian]

Brittleness node increases DPS on crushers by like 60%

With just the dog attacking it

[deft stump]

It triples a mauler kill speed at least.

[ripe obsidian]

nope

Because the brittleness only happens once on human-sized enemies

[deft stump]

No, test it. Send doggo to kill.

[plucky flax]

It's me karien carry everytime.

[ripe obsidian]

I did

[plucky flax]

Based SG grill.

[ripe obsidian]

600 DPS becomes 690 DPS

[deft stump]

You do 633 dps vs 2xx

[deft stump]

You carry me.

[plucky flax]

I think it's some chickensandwich guy.

Not me.

[deft stump]

As in, go to psykhanium and just send doggo to attack.

With and without bleed node.

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, I'm not talking about the bleed node

it's OP

brittleness node is meh for maulers

Seems good for ogryns and bosses

[plucky flax]

Just run around and let dog kill boss.

[deft stump]

It is. It really is.

'3 loop around and crusher ded.

Better than avg pub.

[ripe obsidian]

The brittleness node only seems good on larger enemies, since it won't pop more than once on pinned enemies

It increases my DPS from ~275 to ~450 on a crusher

[plucky flax]

Seems not worth it.

[deft stump]

The thing is... i'm surprised it stacks?

[ripe obsidian]

It stacks up to the normal 40% cap on bigger enemies

[deft stump]

As in, with itself.

[ripe obsidian]

It's just regular brittleness afaik

[deft stump]

So is this like the oggy push brittle?

[plucky flax]

Karien you paniced too much earlier.

Ears were ripped btw.

1 channel bluetoothspeaker not so good.

[hearty wolf]

@strong gulch

[deft stump]

Need less panicky situations then.

[plucky flax]

I wonder why we were in those situations.

[ripe obsidian]

I think so

[deft stump]

Yeah. I think it's fine to run both... Hard part is, what to sacrifice for both.

[strong gulch]

ye?

[hearty wolf]

I can try. I have a lot of mental exhaustion that didn't get better after sleeping. If I die a lot then I die a lot. 🫡

[strong gulch]

That and brain fog really suck.

[dark swift]

Sorry for asking but did they change this to only 50 damage or does it still require 50% of it's health damaged by brain burst?

[upper sun]

50%

its not as bad as you might think

with double walls and the brain burst upgrades and a power/speed stim you can do it in 5 seconds

[ripe obsidian]

Could do this

Not sure which of these two nodes is better

Top one is more damage, bottom one means staggering crushers

[upper sun]

what modifier is "false truths"

[strong gulch]

internet

[upper sun]

idk what auric im playing

but it seems MID

[ripe obsidian]

Sounds like the story campaign

[worthy wasp]

Hear me Smykers.

Now is the time for you to shine. With the DLC, you can simultaneously control the horde with shock aoe while also being a functioning, contributing, useful member of the team.

Spamming smite is bad, throwing a shock mine and meleeing/shooting stuff is good

[jovial juniper]

?????

Literally same problem

Can't proc dodge blessings if the enemies are Perma stunned

[deft stump]

I prefer forceful personally.

[upper sun]

mass effect posting will continue until spawns improve

[junior breach]

what should I run on an inferno staff blessing and buff wise?

[upper sun]

blaze away nexus+flak and your choice of elite unyielding crit chance and maniac

[ripe obsidian]

Yup. I have a bunch of toughness regen and TDR talents. I do want the +25% DR on elite kill, buT I don't have the points

[deft stump]

Why is it that it feels like you are always short by x points on every class?

[ripe obsidian]

Because that's the design goal

They want you to feel like 3ish more points would be perfect so there's not One Build to Rule Them All.

[deft stump]

I'm just waiting for some paid expansion where it comes with 5 more points due to increased lvls.

[ripe obsidian]

When we become space marines?

[gray juniper]

Trying auric storm survivor yet again. Each game got blown off a cliff by random event. Pox burster inside the door still O__O

[upper sun]

try to snipe easier maelstroms or counterpick them

i played things like purge into hunting grounds and bubble into ranged maelstrom

[ripe obsidian]

I got Auric Storm Survivor on Veteran because Voice of Command is silly

Ranged Maelstrom is the only one I won't do. I got so frustrated each time with teammates who wouldn't deal with shooters

[hearty wolf]

😭

The worst case is I thought I was SO clever

It was weakened too so I have 0 fear anything would go wrong

[strong gulch]

yeah, deimos H2 would have freed you

rip

[hearty wolf]

fock

It's alright, it was a blunder on my end of even getting vomitted on in the first place i think

I went out of the bubble to hit the weakspot and thought his mouth was inside the bubble

but it wasn't

[strong gulch]

I was busy getting dead

our brains were rotted

[hearty wolf]

You were tired as well but you played very well so it's all good

I had a lot of fun with those clutches

I don't feel helpless now that I'm not using thammer

i feel like both of those were from one frag bomb

the most tragic statline

[hearty wolf]

It's alright, it was my blunder xd

I was just SO sold on ALL the ways we could be free from nurgle

My brain was so far ahead

I was like

[fierce crest]

i was too taunt happy

with nuke i need to hold it more

[hearty wolf]

"Hmm. There's still a lot of gunners over there. I might get shot soon and I can't get shot in nurgle. If it turns, it might launch me into the elevator which gives me cover"

[fierce crest]

i usually dont run nuke but im working on the penance

[hearty wolf]

Never did it occur that being in a disgusting worm's belly would be a bad idea

[spare comet]

is sanctuary worth it for shield?

seems pretty damn solid

[hearty wolf]

I think when it was used, it was solid

[fierce crest]

vs a boss tho

its main use is the stagger

[hearty wolf]

yeh

[fierce crest]

the bit of cc for other enemies wasnt worth it

[hearty wolf]

I mean in other situations, it would probably have been fine to keep other enemies off me so I could do bonks

[fierce crest]

and i didnt need the toughness

[hearty wolf]

It's just I was the one who was eaten

Either way it was a really fun run and I'm glad to be playing this game again

[shut breach]

another stupid off the docket

[gray juniper]

Arby penances are wild short

[gray juniper]

Omg this

[strong gulch]

Yes. If you take bubble, you take all of the bubble nodes.

Or don't to meme and confuse your teammates.

[gray juniper]

I get so frustrated in pubs every day. You have glory hound players that only want to handle the biggest enemy or all turn inward on a boss

[hearty wolf]

he's talking about me, fuck

[gray juniper]

Then I try a storm penance in Themis group and look like a goober falling off a cliff two games in a row

[vestal trench]

do i need 500 rating weapons/400+ curios to start aurics or

[nocturne dust]

Pay 2 win

[hearty wolf]

Fuck the curios, just chuck on 3. 500 rated weps are super easy to get but aren't necessary

just try and get a nice blessing/perk combo

just make sure the curios help you in some kind of way

toughness/health/stamina et

even then

Skill>Loadout

[zinc phoenix]

No, but it’ll be harder without

[vestal trench]

yea i got those, health doesnt hit the 205 breakpoint tho

[zinc phoenix]

Curios don’t need to be max

[gray juniper]

If you can solo carry that’s one thing—you. If you can’t angle anything by yourself but want the dibs on specific enemies only that’s foolish—them

[vestal trench]

my loadout stronger than my skill

[hearty wolf]

I see. That's fair.

Ngl

[gray juniper]

Dumpster for spearhead bolt gun btw?

[hearty wolf]

I feel like it's a very humbling experiene to play Killing Floor 2 modded

It teaches that lesson so well because the game is so fucking hard

[nocturne dust]

Huh?

KF2 hard?

Is this some difficulty mod or something

[worthy wasp]

Dying less = dealing more damage???

Conclusion: Cant do damage if dead. Times killed is the most relevant stat

[spare comet]

Left shield nodes too??

[nocturne dust]

they're exclusive

so you take right bubble

[spare comet]

I thought so

[nocturne dust]

and can't take left

[spare comet]

left ones kinda suck anyways

[nocturne dust]

yes

a lot

[zinc phoenix]

I’m back to fiddling the mk6 sword

[modest perch]

its awesome bro

id do anything to have it on zealot

[zinc phoenix]

It’s not, the mk8 is better

But I want to understand both marks well

[hearty wolf]

Yeah that's why I said "modded"

They add certain restrictions like no tier 5 deagles for examples cos they're broken

[zinc phoenix]

the horde combo of 3L into H feels fiddly 😢

I’ve been mixing in the push to lateral sweep to compensate for that

[bitter spade]

You can replace the H with a block cancel and basically just cycle the three(?) diagonal lights

[gray juniper]

It only lets you pick one side and locks the other

[gray juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-cat-evil-murder-revenge-door-gif-1577797765427295022

I’ll do anything to keep you from having it

[modest perch]

[gray juniper]

Ngl if it’s a moderate size horde I 1-2 light continuously 😆

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah been doing that too but it’s also kinda awkward

[spare comet]

oops

[hearty wolf]

I can't sleep

I'm too giddy

[gray juniper]

Ngl I don’t know how to use mark 8 on heavies. What do you do for those situations?

[vestal trench]

the mkvi sword clicked for me when that reginald vid mentioned watching for the uppercut swing

you only heavy after that one

[zinc phoenix]

PA to knock em back, then heavy combo into the next PA

Getting the headshot with the push can be tricky tho

[gray juniper]

Ngl that’s good strat

[stone totem]

I think it's funny that the class with the worst toughness replen. numbers/conditions in the game is also the only class that has a talent that nerfs toughness replenishment

peak design

[spare comet]

Why does it somehow completely not let me quell from 100???

[deft stump]

If your hands are on your face, you kark'd up already.

[spare comet]

That's stupid

Sometimes it just instantly jumps to that

I am so confused lol

[strong gulch]

SG will keep building peril. Eventually you can't out quell it.

[spare comet]

its not from gaze

and even with gaze

i have the talent for that

[strong gulch]

If you cast something that take you over 100, you'll explode too. Like EK is known to do.

[deft stump]

I just think they aren't used to staves or bb triggering boom if they channel too close to 95% and lmb.

[strong gulch]

There is a bug that can make you explode at 97 % peril, but that is rare.

[spare comet]

This is what I am experiencing

[verbal thistle]

common with trauma staff

[strong gulch]

On bb, if you pre cast with RMB and then burst a target 100% peril you explode,

[strong gulch]

Maybe. If it KEEPS happening then it might not be that.

Because it's rare.

[spare comet]

it doesnt happen often

like once every few matches

[gray juniper]

You can also keep venting shriek on hand for these events. It’ll save you past the dying animation

[verbal thistle]

brain brust mentioned

[gray juniper]

I regularly go over often to put in more damage, turn to the direction of enemies I want to slow down or walkers killed, vent and manage peril carefully after that

[gray juniper]

wtf was that 😳

[verbal thistle]

lag

was playing in EU

200ms for me

[spare comet]

what'd you do to get a space in your name

[verbal thistle]

Steam name

[spare comet]

yeah i was about to ask

LOL

[young cliff]

ole question: what is a good build for DB shotgun?

[verbal thistle]

my game only shows steam names

[severe rover]

What curio stats do psykers want for smite/assail/melee?

[verbal thistle]

curios dont change betweens builds

and mostly are perference

I take 2 tough, 1 hp. with x3 toughness, x3 hp, x3 gunner res

[spare comet]

i like 2 tough 1 hp

i always take gunner res regardless of class

then combat ability regen, and +more toughness

[severe rover]

no stam? okay

[spare comet]

you can

[verbal thistle]

psyker does not need

[severe rover]

was just curious finally got around leveling it

[verbal thistle]

with their delay being the shortest

and with kinectic deflection

[spare comet]

2 tough 1 stam is reasonable but i'd rather just take the hp

[deft stump]

So no difference. Heh.

[deft stump]

No point in serious gameplay unless you want to do some memes.

[spare comet]

i tried shield bubble just i genuinely just do not fuck with it

back to gaze

[red bough]

So what exactly is the Psyker’s niche?

[stone totem]

Glass cannon-esque

Depends on build

[thorn cedar]

float like butterfly, sting like bee wielding two m60's

[zinc comet]

Do lots of damage

[deft stump]

The epitome of just don't get hit.

[red bough]

Vet is ranged dps, Zealot is melee, Ogryn is tank, idk what Arbites is, so where does that leave the Psyker? I’m assuming some manner of area control

[deft stump]

You actually get hit, you die.

Has hilariously high damage that scales off density.

[zinc comet]

In a sense it’s area control

You control the area by killing everything in it

[red bough]

Yeah, Assail gives me big “fuck everything in that general direction” vibes

Though I did switch to the Smite blitz for the shock-on-heavy-melee perk.

[stone totem]

Vet isn't necessarily ranged dps as a niche

They do it a bit better but your ranged weapon should still be your secondary

Melee is the heart of the game, but squeezing in ranged attacks is still good

[red bough]

Noted.

[deft stump]

Vet in melee is kinda bad though.

[static sonnet]

Rashad Combat Axe is goated

[young cliff]

not really

[deft stump]

You need to go right or they suffer.

[sterile steppe]

So, do we have any havoc builds for psyker after the recent burn nerfs?
