psyker-class

[hearty wolf]

Old school Sienna was much more rough

But if you've played VT recently

It's so fucking easy

it's not a real game

vt2 mind you

[vestal trench]

i played VT around the time outcast engi came out and famished flame just dogwalked the game

[strong gulch]

I don't remember. I think darktide in general is harder. So probably psyker.

[tulip kettle]

i havent played in a while and i was never huge into VT2 like i am tide

[vestal trench]

my friend says psyker's easier but im just like...bruh

[jovial juniper]

What the hell is a gun

🗣️

[vestal trench]

ok maybe im not crazy LMAO

[tulip kettle]

idk i think on every other class

[keen cargo]

bro sienna first career bright wizard i think was BUSTED

[tulip kettle]

you make a mistake

[hearty wolf]

They're both not "hard" in terms of class mechanics. I think it's more about the game

Sienna is harder because of friendly fire lmao

[tulip kettle]

you lose some toughness

on psyker, you make a mistake, you get hurt

and it just gets worse from there

and going back i thought sienna was harder because, imagine if quelling in this game cost direct HP dmg

[vestal trench]

riiiiiight i did notice friendly fire on here barely exists

completely forgot about the manual quell damage, though ig bc thp was so busted i just forgot

fire sword h1 block cancel was unhinged

idk if they ever nerfed its thp generation

[hearty wolf]

Quite literally doesn't exist in darktide, ye

I dunno if it effects penetration tho

[tulip kettle]

im pretty sure it does

[hearty wolf]

fucking ogryns

[tulip kettle]

and i guess there is friendly fire to an extent

fking barrells

i wish exploding from perils had friendly fire

[strong gulch]

That is true. I may put "how to play" in my pin in the future.

Some things too keep in mind tho are 1) My posts were never intended to be a guide. 2) I didn't know that my posts would be pinned. 3) A lot what I said on how to play EK applies to all of the staves. It's more general psykering vs EK specific except for the CC part. 4) I asked a friend to write the VS post after my posts were pinned, and he took the liberty to make it a fuller post.

I do thank you for the feedback.

[hearty wolf]

Now time to dream of running into bombs

[dense wolf]

sorry sah

[ripe obsidian]

It went well. But the rumbler ogryn outdamaged me. >:(

I did go down once, and I am not sure how. I was full health+toughness, then suddenly down

[strong gulch]

game mean

[ripe obsidian]

I also swapped off of Quietude + Battle Meditation for Soulstealer and OwtW

[deft stump]

There there. Patpats. Is okay. It's probably meanie captain/twins and their bugged shields.

[ripe obsidian]

With purgatus, at least, I have enough lingering fire around to proc Soulstealer that toughness on quell isn't doing too much, especially since I only quell like 20% at a time

[ripe obsidian]

Nope, no boss around. I think an enemy hit me through a wall at the same time a random poxwalker popped my toughness

Not sure what else it could have been. I was safe behind the ogryn

[deft stump]

But I don't think it'll 1 shot unless you literally have no HP at all and it's a backstab.

[ripe obsidian]

Then I know not. I had taken 0 damage up to that point, and there was only one enemy near me

[pulsar solar]

What's a good generalist psyker build?

[ripe obsidian]

At what difficulty level?

[pulsar solar]

Most

Never tried havoc yet

[ripe obsidian]

Melee or ranged focus?

Voidstrike is a staff that, pre-havoc, does most things passably. EK is better for single target and Shriek spam, purgatus burns the world, and voidblast has great crowd control. Any of them will work.

[deft stump]

Then confused.

[ripe obsidian]

Besides Voidstrike. It falls off hard.

[ripe obsidian]

I was also confused.

[deft stump]

Need cleave buff and charge rate buff tbh.

For Strike.

[ripe obsidian]

Yes. If it's gonna work in Havoc, it needs a charge rate that isn't like 33% longer than Voidblast and it needs to be able to hit more than 3 poxwalkers at full charge

[deft stump]

Mhm.

[pulsar solar]

Is warp charge better than enhanced psionics for brain burst?

[deft stump]

I was thinking at least 20 cleave after Warp splitting, maybe more.

It has like 12 RN.

From memory.

If I got it mixed up, just double the cleave again.

[jovial juniper]

Nope

Comparatively

EP has higher damage

What you can get though

Is faster Shriek/shield walls

To proc Kinetic Resonance more often

[ripe obsidian]

Deimos H2 launching crushers back like 10 feet is endlessly amusing

[pulsar solar]

How's this?

[keen cargo]

is uncanny strike overrated chat

[ripe obsidian]

No.

[deft stump]

WDYM overrated?

[keen cargo]

in a way that you must take it all the time, i was thinking of using precog instead of it

[pulsar solar]

Any opinions?

[keen cargo]

it will work

[keen cargo]

the 10% quell on peril though idk i really don't like that

inferno already is the staff that generates the less peril

[deft stump]

It's usually better than precog.... But you do you.

Mostly cos precog has that 2 sec to poke.

[keen cargo]

you will be hitting with the stab heavy of the deimos in that 2 sec

light 1 Dodge into heavy 2

[deft stump]

Well, you can test it out by swapping and playing games.

If you find it better, that's good for you. If it's worse, well, now you know.

[gray juniper]

If you’re trying to BB often, no but overall tree id guess the pros wouldn’t recommend it for the talent sacrifices and the ability recharge of warp siphon

[pulsar solar]

Got any inferno staff soulblaze builds?

[zinc comet]

theres a pinned one

[strong gulch]

@hearty wolf Got your valiant effort at the end with the camera spin.
https://youtu.be/BM_TYgNrkQY

[strong gulch]

If you want EP BB, there's a build in the inferno staff section of the 2nd pin.

[proper osprey]

Rough looking no need for crystalline will or battle meditation

[pulsar solar]

Where should I move those?

[proper osprey]

If using inferno id put it in mettle and perfect timing

[pulsar solar]

And if not?

[strong gulch]

If you want to KR max, take double wall vs shriek. Inferno is the easiest to slot into this build.

purg is the old name for inferno

[pulsar solar]

Honestly prefer the dome

[strong gulch]

You won't be damage maxinging or BB maxinging with that but go for it if you want.

[pulsar solar]

And if it's not inferno?

[proper osprey]

Tbh I used to run that all the time I love ep brain burst

[proper osprey]

Depends if you’re doing crit or non crit

[strong gulch]

Rending flurry VB or not.

[wet charm]

squeak (yup however dont be afraid to experiment. Rat's build and gameplay for example may be interesting to you) https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9df8cf62-74bb-407a-b6ab-b942ad63597d/the-best-psyker-build-rats-trauma-psyker

[jovial juniper]

Oh shit

A rat

[pulsar solar]

I'm still new to the psyker terminology and such

[strong gulch]

Abbreviations in the pins.

A Rat has appeared.

[pulsar solar]

All I know is I wanna be helpful to the team, kill shit, and use the greatsword because it looks fun

[spare comet]

i saw the wound curio and physically frowned

[gray juniper]

Makes those big teeth on the end look real and effective

[wet charm]

squeak (rat doesnt blame you)

[gray juniper]

But FGS, however they changed it, is more effective and useful overall for offense and defense. Ragers and maulers can try to hit you at max distance and you’re like “sorry sweaty mine’s longer” 💅

[spare comet]

oh hey you're here

so i started using your gaze build and i suddenly started performing a thousand times better as psyker

[strong gulch]

Just killing stiff is helpful. FGS (force great sword) can be paired with anything. It's biggest weakness is mobility. So it's not generally a top pick for some staves like inferno or voidblast since those can mostly handle any target type except 1; and single target melees with good mobility covers that weakness.

FGS pairs well with EK (electrokinetic) and VS (voidstrike) staves and right side melee and gun (gunker builds).

[spare comet]

RIP

[spare comet]

I am not a free thinker when it comes to classes I don't know much about

[strong gulch]

valid

[vestal trench]

dude for the longest time i didnt know why zealot felt bad leveling

it was the gameslantern build

[keen cargo]

this is the ultimate loadout

[vestal trench]

so i feel u

[pulsar solar]

Wouldn't the crit chance aura be better for purg?

[strong gulch]

That's why I just steal builds on other classes. Psyker took all of my brains.

[spare comet]

i trust ainz so i just looked at his recommendations

im doing zealot now though

its apart of my quest to get every class to 30

[strong gulch]

You can take it, but CDR gets you ability back faster. That means shrieking more or faster BBs depending on how you build. And in havocs, that means more bubbles.

Ainz is very good at the game and makes mostly sound builds.

He does make non-meta psyker suggestions to newer psykers or psykers who don't know much which can be sus.

[pulsar solar]

What's the kinetic deflection for?

[strong gulch]

Meta is for those with skill issue.

Like most of us.

Don't HAVE to play meta tho.

[spare comet]

i play whatever is close enough to meta while still cool to me

[pulsar solar]

I wish there was a psyker version of the Ogrynomicon

[jovial juniper]

Gives psyker the best blocks in the game

[strong gulch]

Instead of consuming stamina you build peril while blocking. Makes blocking a lot of stuff easier like when a DH is angry or going for a res.

KD cannot explode you byw.

[jovial juniper]

Has lots of synergy with Dclaw parries

[pulsar solar]

I got one point left, empathetic evasion or soulstealer

[keen cargo]

talking about that, is the dclaw viable ?

[jovial juniper]

It's viable and shit at the same time

It deals no damage to flak armor if you don't parry

It can parry everything melee

[zinc phoenix]

Push attack can tho

[analog agate]

Any weapon in this game that depends on you possibly getting hit to be good is shit

[pulsar solar]

@strong gulch

[analog agate]

Imo

[gray juniper]

@spare comet

[strong gulch]

probably soulstealer (not souldrinker) what weapons?

[strong gulch]

ye

[pulsar solar]

Inferno, not sure about melee yet. Don't wanna be a meta slave with dueling sword, but might chose it

[zinc phoenix]

You don’t have to use ds if you don’t want to. Force swords are totally viable staff sidearms

Shock maul can even work

I did a zap god shock maul build for a while that was funny 😂

Being able to tase stuff is also handy

[gray juniper]

Give psyker the crusher

https://tenor.com/view/willem-dafoe-insane-insanity-crazy-nuts-gif-13969946

[zinc phoenix]

Barbie is already a zap god

But close range

[pulsar solar]

Then there's this, already removed battle meditation and crystalline will like I was suggested to

[spare comet]

battle meditation feels like a trap

[strong gulch]

Then I'd personally take soulstealer over EE. Soulstealer offers consistentcy.

DS4 is the easiet to slot in because of its strong single target damage and mobility, but there are other options. Things like deimos, obscurus, knife, etc. FGS does well enough against crushers that you can take that too, but you miss out on uncanny buffing the SB DoT and the better mobility of the other options.

[vestal trench]

realizing I may be using surge build wrong lmao - should I have my staff out on it as much as the trauma and purgatus builds?

ive lowkey been using it mostly for elites and specials then FGS for hordes. did not notice me losing out on creeping flame value

[analog agate]

Yes

[vestal trench]

LOL

noted, if i really wanna play FGS i'll go gaze then

[strong gulch]

It mostly is. There's some times that it's useful, but those are few.

[proper osprey]

Melee psyker my beloved

[pulsar solar]

@strong gulch what do I do about this?

[strong gulch]

Assail shriek with VS or bistol is nice if you want a none SG build with FGS.

[spare comet]

what's your blessings/perks picks

for the uh

recon

[vestal trench]

thats fine, i quite like gaze but good to know xP

[strong gulch]

I recommend this but since you want bubble swap shriek to bubble nodes.

[pulsar solar]

I want a build for each staff, for versatility if that makes sense. Plus fun factor

[strong gulch]

Pins have one for each staff

[pulsar solar]

Ok

[strong gulch]

they all favor shriek

for non-havocs

[pulsar solar]

Well I'm mostly doing heresy to level up weapons atm so I guess that works

[vestal trench]

i find it funny that they pinned all the staff builds but not the standard gunker right below it

[ripe obsidian]

Neat. Just got back to H40 on a True Survivor run. Already had the title, but a teammate didn't

[strong gulch]

I am not a gunker main, so I feel uncomfortable putting one in my post. There are nuances I know that I am not familiar enough with to answer as wholly as I'd like.

[strong gulch]

NOICE

[ripe obsidian]

We got lucky on boss spawns, but unlucky on ammo spawns

[vestal trench]

fair enough

[ripe obsidian]

And there was a room near the end where I was sure we were toast. Or, I was sure I would be toast. Like 20 crushers + ??? bulwarks and maulers clown-carred into a room right after a drop

[restive slate]

Did Psyker get an indirect nerf?

[sturdy reef]

no?

[tulip kettle]

if you mean braindead arbs who think theyre rambo throwing games and getting you killed

then yes i guess

[sturdy reef]

not sure what you are referring to

[ripe obsidian]

Psyker got an accidental buff.

A pretty massive one.

[strong gulch]

Perfect timing is takes longer to stack and harder to maintain.

A semi decent arby or oggy that holds down W can outpace psyker tho.

[elder gust]

whats a good build for havocs? just run shield?

[restive slate]

Accidental buff? How?

[deft stump]

We are back to old mettle.

[sturdy reef]

you dont need shielf on havocs, but I would only run non shield if you are very comfortable on psyker

[deft stump]

You can max stack now in one crit.

[sturdy reef]

with what

[deft stump]

If I remember right.

[sturdy reef]

new bug?

[jovial juniper]

Yesnt

[strong gulch]

Who knows.

[jovial juniper]

They fixed a bug

And the bug fix reverted mettle

[deft stump]

No clue, old mettle is back.

[sturdy reef]

how lmfao

[deft stump]

FS coding.

Quality stuff.

[jovial juniper]

[strong gulch]

The mettle change mostly affects VB. Old mettle is not back because inferno would completely fill toughness quickly and consistently, but it's still mostly acting the the nerfed mettle.

Syllo looked at the code and said it wasn't the same.

Perfect timing can no longer stack to full in one shot tho.

[deft stump]

So, just FS things?

[strong gulch]

That is a nerf.

[gray juniper]

Dumdum and infernus like Agent suggests
FGS mark 6 deflector and shred

[strong gulch]

I don't know how long perfect timing has been nerfed tho.

Because I was talking to someone about perfect timing being different a little before the patch that fixed mettle went live.

[gray juniper]

I’ll give my whole build gimme a few mins

[spare comet]

dumdum and infernus is the recon classic

[ripe obsidian]

Could it before?

[strong gulch]

yes

[sturdy reef]

I never really paid attention tbh

[ripe obsidian]

Inferno can still refill toughness instantly in a dense horde

[strong gulch]

Sometimes

[ripe obsidian]

Huh. I didn't realize.

[sturdy reef]

wait till psyker tree reorg in 1 year

then everyone will be taking the soulfire +tgh/crit talent

I think the class would be fucking stupid with an ogryn style tree

[strong gulch]

Perilous assault and unlucky for some will be in a worse place.

[sturdy reef]

crystalline will would become unavoidable

[ripe obsidian]

Why only sometimes? I was finding it pretty consistent on crits

[sturdy reef]

peril explosions should be buffed so we can become a mobile frag bomb

but basically an entire tree dedicated to peril maxxing and intentionally blowing up

[ripe obsidian]

Yes. Whatever the talent is that keeps you upright on blowing up, plus wound curios, plus talents to boost perilbomb damage.

[strong gulch]

Bad rolls maybe. Current mettle does NOT fill toughness as well as pre nerf / bug on inferno.

edit: forgot the "not"

[nocturne dust]

Everything is broken and nothing is certain

[strong gulch]

ye

[nocturne dust]

Martyr Psyker believers 🙏

[sturdy reef]

[ripe obsidian]

Make wound curios valuable on someone other than Martyr Zealot

Perilsplosion build + chance to transform into a demon at high corruption. Lose control of character, lose mission, but it would be funny.

[deft stump]

When I see psykers with 7 wounds in mortis.

[sturdy reef]

inb4

[strong gulch]

wound curios are so prolific in the shop too

it's like people keep tossing them on the ground and brunt finds them and give them to the servitor.

[sturdy reef]

they buff psyker even more

next patch, another scrier's buff

[strong gulch]

another assail buff

[sturdy reef]

when BB buff

or EP

[strong gulch]

BB buff when we get new staves. Any day now.

[restive slate]

Buff BB to the mortis trials version, pops lesser enemies heads surrounding target

[sturdy reef]

I think that would be a bit excessive

[restive slate]

I hope you're not counting the days

[sturdy reef]

and take over assail's niche

it should be better against single target

let me pop a crusher in 2 BB's

[strong gulch]

I can't count that big.

[sturdy reef]

without EP

[restive slate]

I joke haha but in all seriousness I wouldn't mind bb having a stagger aoe around the target from the literal headsplosion

[sturdy reef]

that would be a good add

[restive slate]

A 3rd subnode to BB blitz

[strong gulch]

Just make KR part of BB

[sturdy reef]

Id like that

and give BB actual modifier nodes

[pulsar solar]

Asking for a generalist arbites seems useless atm, got completely drowned out lol

[sturdy reef]

the other blitz's have actual modifiers

[ripe obsidian]

BB causing AoE suppression would be neat.

[tulip kettle]

even just let BB one shut gunners in havoc 40 would be nice

[brazen rampart]

Watching your friends head explode is a hell of a motivator to take cover.

[restive slate]

Or rework bb to deal damage proportionate to charge time, we can release the charge anytime

[gray juniper]

@spare comet

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

I’ve shared it a few times already but everything is accurate as is including the curios. Yes I’m using 3 stamina on one. It’s one of the only 3 curios above 410 I have but it does help a lot.

The extra stamina helps a lot on blocks against strong enemies and closing the gap to get to gunners

You can run gaze almost constantly on this if you want. It refills quick enough

[brazen light]

i havent played in awhile but dont you get which skill you have by your weapon? any tips would be appreciated

[wet charm]

@brazen light squeak (Rat isnt too sure what you mean by skill based on your weapon, but this may help as a more advanced guide for voidblast. Though do keep in mind it is quite a unique build for many reasons)

[pine shore]

yea, every weapon has a special

Some specials might as well not exist, like on staves

[wet charm]

squeak (however you can judge the value of the build based on the gameplay)

[gray juniper]

The stave smack is there for comic relief when you need it

[proper osprey]

@spare comet pick a weapon that you like and run with it, my builds that I make are my own personal generalist builds

Didn’t mean to ping the other dude oops

[brazen light]

im asking if you want voidblast as a skill you need a voidblast staff

im streaming if its easier for yall to help me out

[pine shore]

what

[wet charm]

squeak (in that case yus you are right)

[sacred crane]

did they fix penetration of soul yet

[pine shore]

yes

[proper osprey]

Yeah

[brazen light]

ook ty does it work with my sword and other wep too or just the staff

[jovial juniper]

Yes
Still shit

[gray juniper]

Excuse me if I mispronounce some of your language but, squeak (this is an interesting build and I’ll be using it as a default setting for havoc bubble along with bubble knight)

[wet charm]

squeak (just the staff. Think of it as an attack pattern or skill set for each weapon)

[pine shore]

I feel like this rat rp will get insanely annoying in an hour

[wet charm]

squeak! (tyvm, but dont be afraid to alter the build. The key components are really the rat tech described in the guide as well as some specific perks and blessings. The rest is up to personal preference) ;D

[deft stump]

A wild Rat has appeared?! Patpats @wet charm .

[analog agate]

No offense to rat. But his build would be horrible for havoc. It revolves around doing small bursts with VB

[wet charm]

squeak (Rat's mannerisms isnt for everyone, but rat wont take offence if you mute Rat)

[ripe bear]

beloved, this dream has become a nightmare

[wet charm]

squeak (rat was running some havoc 40s last night with frens for the first time in like a month. It worked perfectly fine, but rat is likely quite biased lol)

[ripe bear]

why nerf

insane

already weak class getting nerfed

gg

[sturdy reef]

psyker worst class yes yes

buff man wizard class yes yes

[gray juniper]

I see the details and I’d probably tweak some things if necessary. Experiment on low havocs and tweak from there. I’m a big drinking at the font of peril already, so small burst only would break me, but it’s also a habit to half charge at time for battlefield control for the team rather than outright kills

[ripe bear]

yes beloved i do think we need a buff

[jovial juniper]

No nerf

In fact

[ripe bear]

lie

[jovial juniper]

Got buffed

[ripe bear]

lie

[jovial juniper]

I'm not

[ripe bear]

nerf fire

[jovial juniper]

They didn't

[ripe bear]

-.-

[jovial juniper]

It was a bug fix

[ripe bear]

nerf

[jovial juniper]

The same bug fix

That buffed mettle

[gray juniper]

This is the force of chaos talking tsk tsk

[jovial juniper]

You can go from 0 to 100% toughness in 1 CRIT

[gray juniper]

Seriously seriously leave as is but fix the tree some

[ripe bear]

.>

[jovial juniper]

Once again

No Nerf

Accidental buff

[pine shore]

what are you talking about

what got nerfed

[ripe obsidian]

Lemme find my video again...

[jovial juniper]

Mettle

[pine shore]

But it got buffed?

Not nerfed

[gray juniper]

You sure?

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

They fixed the bug where burning enemies would activate Mettle and Perfect Strike

[ripe obsidian]

Here.

[jovial juniper]

Then whatever they did

Brought a versions of old mettle back

[gray juniper]

I mean… 5% toughness is weak af if I’m being honest. It’s my always carry for speed though

[jovial juniper]

5%

For all targets hit

[ripe obsidian]

Video displays mettle.

[pine shore]

5% per enemy hit

[strong gulch]

Something to keep in mind about Rat's build and playstyle is that Rat does small charges with swap cancel to be able to cast faster. It's very specific to his playstyle.

[pine shore]

are you insane?

[jovial juniper]

Nope

[pine shore]

5% is a fuck ton

[jovial juniper]

Couldn't proc on all enemies hit before this hotfix

[pine shore]

yes

[ripe bear]

seems like its only good on that staff and a big nerf for gunpysker

[jovial juniper]

Can proc on all hit after this hot fix

No nerf only buffs

[pine shore]

literally 0 changes for gunker

[jovial juniper]

Nothing ever happens

🗣️

[ripe obsidian]

It is also good on purgatus, and I imagine assail

And anything that hits more than one target at a time

[brazen compass]

Shield fuckin

SUCKS

[zinc phoenix]

well it turns out i can hard carry and clutch a pox gas tox bomber h20

[pine shore]

It either didn't change anything or it got better

[zinc phoenix]

with multiple full downs

[jovial juniper]

It got better

[zinc phoenix]

and i will never ever ever do that again

[gray juniper]

Oh never mind that’s probably pretty decent depending how often critical hit comes. I can’t quantify that myself though

[ripe obsidian]

It is fascinating to me that people come in here claiming Psyker is a weak class.

[jovial juniper]

Fire Trauma is currently easy mode

[pine shore]

Psyker is 3rd strongest imo

[jovial juniper]

2

[pine shore]

unless rampaging enemies

3

[zinc phoenix]

not very durable but the damage is insane lol

[ripe obsidian]

Ogryn > Psyker > Arby > Zealot > Veteran

[pine shore]

no way arby is worse

[jovial juniper]

Yes they are

Too stagger focused

[pine shore]

I don't believe

you

[jovial juniper]

When death is the best stagger

Then psyker shows up with infinite ammo

High stagger

Higher finesse

[ripe obsidian]

Fire Trauma does everything Arby does from a distance

[strong gulch]

heck this sentence

typing hard

[jovial juniper]

Infinite cleave

[gray juniper]

That’s crazy tbh. I would probably take arbitrator now for any pox gas havoc because they’re so annoying psyking

[pine shore]

yea, but it also shits and pisses itself upon seeing some stairs

[gray juniper]

Ngl it’s not the easiest to figure out at all and I came here with that complaint until understanding better. That was like a month ago you get what I mean? lol

[jovial juniper]

In fact

[gray juniper]

What?

[jovial juniper]

I think Arby's and Zealot fight for 3rd place

Zealot simply outfinesses/outdodges arby

[gray juniper]

Nah i disagree

[ripe bear]

number 1 for fun

[pine shore]

No way you are thinking about putting arbiter as a 2nd worst class

[ripe bear]

vet 5th for fun

[jovial juniper]

Fighting for 3rd place

[gray juniper]

Arby is up there. Much bigger health pool, huge toughness regeneration, sizable bag of tricks and strong weapons

[sturdy reef]

I think arby is better than zealot

[gray juniper]

Definitely

If psyker is second place he’s sharing it with arby

[jovial juniper]

Nah

[sturdy reef]

psyker is outside the other 4

[jovial juniper]

Psyker second place undisputed

[gray juniper]

Agree to disagree my fren

[ripe bear]

yes random discord user pysker is 2nd ofc

[jovial juniper]

[gray juniper]

Played auric the other day and some dumb vet player shot a pox burster at point blank in front of both of us. I had 3 health left

This is on a build taking more toughness

That’s such a big disadvantage comparative to many things when survivability is paramount

[jovial juniper]

You need 201 HP to survive 2 bursters

With sniper res

2 sniper shots

[gray juniper]

Yes that’s what you’d think. For whatever reason the game decided that one burster was enough to almost kill me

You literally can’t afford any oopsies

Auric maelstrom to clarify. I don’t know if there’s a damage modifier just for maelstrom either

[jovial juniper]

You take damnation level damage

[ripe obsidian]

Done with Purgatus, so take it for what it's worth, but this was satisfying:

[gray juniper]

Well that’s what the game gave me regardless of what it’s supposed to do

[gray juniper]

What is this from shriek?

Purgatus in a narrow area on H40

No shriek

Just Perilous Combustion going wild

[gray juniper]

Wow

[jovial juniper]

What infinite cleave does to the realspace

[proper osprey]

Purg kill feed is soooo satisfying

[ripe obsidian]

It is the reason I play it instead of Trauma

[gray juniper]

It’s cool in its own way and it’s hated on for it but the flame barrage is cool itself. Just feels like less skill involved with the shot itself

[potent echo]

Give staves alternate marks please fatshark..

[zinc phoenix]

Nice. I managed a monsterkill like that (but probably not as many!) today in a h38 where everything went right with soulfire from killing elites + a well timed warp slice 😂

[strong gulch]

Trauma / VB stuggles with stairs and grated surfaces. IDK if you've even put down a bubble only for it to go through the floor, VB has the same issue.

[ripe obsidian]

I gotta get brave enough to use FGS in high level havoc

[zinc phoenix]

It’s actually really good. I ground my way up pugging with it through the 20s and 30s. Tricky at first but you get used to it and build the muscle memory and the reflexes and all the little knowings

[strong gulch]

Do you have mods? YOu can start solo havocs and just feck around.

[zinc phoenix]

I play blissfully unmodded personally

[ripe obsidian]

I do use mods, aye. But playing solo is not as much fun

[north hatch]

I need to reinstall my mods

But I'm so lazy

[strong gulch]

Valid.

It's definitely different.

[nocturne dust]

blissfully
Indeed, the silent heretics love a poor sap

[north hatch]

I need the mod that lets you have weapon customization again

[ripe obsidian]

Anyone wanna do Auric Mortis to work toward the new memory penance?

[nocturne dust]

I would but I'm probably indisposed for the rest of the day 😔

[strong gulch]

I haven't done one yet. I will try. I hope my mods are ok. Last time I crashed every 5 seconds.

[plucky flax]

They dont give insignia so that's a pass

[ripe obsidian]

I only have the energy for 1-2 maps. Pretty exhausted

[plucky flax]

Only played mortis for hats

[ripe obsidian]

Do you have the one from 50 mortis?

[plucky flax]

Ye I destroyed my soul grinding that

[ripe obsidian]

Well then

I have done 20 mortis trials total

[plucky flax]

I can play havoc instead

[ripe obsidian]

I'd be up for that. I got 40 earlier today, so I stand to lose nothing

Give me like 5 minutes

[strong gulch]

I can do a havoc

[pine shore]

I have one last havoc, I am at 40 currently and I need to beat it

[plucky flax]

I need to make coffee

[pine shore]

If you allow it, I'd love to join you once you are up

[plucky flax]

Don't see why not

[pine shore]

Will my havoc 40 ever reset once I get it?

Or is my grind complete

[nocturne dust]

They reset it like every major update so far, lmao

[pine shore]

fuck

[ripe obsidian]

I return

[strong gulch]

I can't remember if H40 is subjects to the weekly degrade thing

[nocturne dust]

Afaik it still is

You can't derank by playing, but you can derank by not playing

Fatshark never learning from their mistakes 😄

[pine shore]

The whole deranking thing should just be gone

[nocturne dust]

Not one sane person has said it should stay

[strong gulch]

messing around in game untile we group up

[ripe obsidian]

It's probably for engagement. Though I'd wonder how much extra engagement they get versus people who just don't play havoc because deranking sucks

It's probably better if someone not-me starts the party. Good chance I'll be NA-West and cause issues for Agent

[plucky flax]

Beans are you east?

[strong gulch]

ye

am east

[plucky flax]

You inv the peeps.

[nocturne dust]

The eternal double-edged sword of FOMO (not quite FOMO, but pretty close)

[plucky flax]

You are our leader.

[ripe obsidian]

I just played an H40 with a level 1250ish psyker using FGS+Trauma with the Surge blessing

[pine shore]

based

[ripe obsidian]

They did well, but I haven't seen that one before

[strong gulch]

kk

[verbal thistle]

surge affects left click for faster suppression and single target

[strong gulch]

what is friend code

[verbal thistle]

and it gives crit chance (if they are using blazing)

[pine shore]

is 9176478001

[ripe obsidian]

Yes, they were. I mean, I know Surge is for LMB, I just haven't seen someone run it before on Trauma

[nocturne dust]

Used to not be available on EK

buuuuut not sure that trauma was ever the choice

[strong gulch]

Me pre crafting update

[nocturne dust]

lol

[potent echo]

Wait they got rid of derank missions?

[nocturne dust]

only for 40

[potent echo]

[nocturne dust]

if you're below 40, you can still derank

by playing

[nocturne dust]

Listen, it's a very intelligent and well-thought-out system that has no flaws whatsoever and nobody ever complains about it because it's very cool

[potent echo]

I would be very upset

If I played havocs

[strong gulch]

the derank is stupid

[nocturne dust]

[potent echo]

Me but with the arbites vox

[nocturne dust]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/336

[gray juniper]

That’s something they absolutely have to fix themselves and they know it

[nocturne dust]

They've had years

[potent echo]

It's a keybind mod so it's forcefully blocking all cancels

Idk if fatshark wants this

[sturdy reef]

the guarantee weapon swap mod makes it so you cant QQ cancel staves

but I still prefer running it since I dont QQ swap anyway

[nocturne dust]

that doesn't sound right

[sturdy reef]

I couldnt do the QQ cancel with the mod

it at least messes with the timings

[nocturne dust]

I'm able to do it with the mod

[sturdy reef]

mebbe skill issue on my part, it isnt consistent for me with the mod

[strong gulch]

ggs

havocs were havocing

oh right. buy a deimos

[ripe obsidian]

I am consistently impressed and annoyed at Agent's damage output

[strong gulch]

nice. just had to buy 1

[strong gulch]

ye

[plucky flax]

[ripe obsidian]

I definitely feel more comfortable on the Forceful Arby build than EO

Especially since I can't ping properly since the hotfix

[strong gulch]

Ok. Now I have a deimos and won't try to block bullets with a DS.

[deft stump]

He carries, WDYM?

[sturdy reef]

do u guys wanna try my 40 again lol

[deft stump]

Don't remind me, playing any other class leads to me trying to block shots with a knoife.

[strong gulch]

I'm down. my play is a little sus but not too bad.

[deft stump]

At least my oggy gets away with it since slab.

[strong gulch]

Us fighting over the brain cell

[sturdy reef]

okie

who wants to do a 40

[ripe obsidian]

I mean the damage is too big

Me jealous. >:(

Me want big number

[ripe obsidian]

I'll give it a go

[deft stump]

Are you saying you orange cat?

[strong gulch]

pretty sure we both are

[sturdy reef]

1 more spot, any takers?

[deft stump]

Is just Chaos. Is normal.

[ripe obsidian]

Like, I think I'm good at the game, not great. I can pretty consistently win H40 with randoms on at least 3 classes, even if one feels like cheating b/c Chorus OP

[deft stump]

Well, I'm more black cat with my terrible luck and being hated for it.

[strong gulch]

[ripe obsidian]

But Agent is just on another level. Much damage, such dodges, wow

[ripe obsidian]

Black cats are best cats

[strong gulch]

I aspire to be orange cat himbo

[strong gulch]

shadows

voids

[deft stump]

They are, need more wuv and less abuse.

[ripe obsidian]

I had to get a second hammock. They both wanted to use it

[sturdy reef]

@nocturne dust @plucky flax h40 runback?

[ripe obsidian]

Agent is going to work

[sturdy reef]

oh right

EU time

[summer prairie]

I'll play one

[sturdy reef]

nice

[marble crater]

You are definitely an orange cat

[sturdy reef]

request to join on the code in my name when ready

[deft stump]

Wot.

[nocturne dust]

I'm unavailable 😔 Got work to do

[marble crater]

Orange cats have the stereotype of being super friendly and sweet but also being batshit crazy and having mega zoomies

So, you are an orange cat

[plucky flax]

I have a job unlike some other guy from EU here.

[deft stump]

I guess the batshit crazy is when I go depressed grump and rant because of some reason that only gets worse without sleep?

[deft stump]

But WDYM, mega zoomies?

[north hatch]

They run around like they're on crack

And then break things

[deft stump]

Yes, but me.

[north hatch]

Oh

Idk do you do that?

[deft stump]

How am I mega zoomies?

[spare comet]

They're both.

[marble crater]

https://youtube.com/shorts/mz-AarTSNpI

[north hatch]

Have you tried crack?

[spare comet]

<- proud orange cat owner

[north hatch]

Maybe you'll be mega zoomies then

[north hatch]

I also own an orange cat

[deft stump]

Don't joke about drugs with someone from SG.

[north hatch]

What's SG

[spare comet]

Yeah that's an orange

[north hatch]

We're making business deals

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/once-again-asking-gif-3412784124470260289

For a buff to psyker

[north hatch]

But wht

[blissful solar]

singapore probably call of duty one-shot no-scopes you for doing one drug particle

[north hatch]

Why

[unborn flicker]

The amount we are punished in havoc versus the amount of sway we have on the battlefield is just not equivalent

[deft stump]

I don't get it. The only thing that fits is that I lash out at times but unwanted strays do that as well.

[unborn flicker]

With how soft and squishy we are, you would think we’d be able to make more of an impact

[plucky flax]

I do drugs in sg.

They can't catch me.

[deft stump]

Actually true. Just a tiny bit lands you with years.

[marble crater]

[north hatch]

Cause you have the mega zoomies

[blissful solar]

[marble crater]

I can't explain it any better than this

Aren't the only classes that are like super good in havoc just ogryns and cops?

[glass laurel]

Hello psykerers

[north hatch]

Hello vermintide 2

[marble crater]

Hello traitor

[plucky flax]

Is tru. Everything else super bad especially this class.

[north hatch]

I need to get on the cop grind

[vestal trench]

psyker more like dogwaterker

[deft stump]

Is easy. Just do things.

[north hatch]

I have an idea for how we buff psyker

[deft stump]

No weird stuff like hitting a sniper 40m away on the hed with a grenade stuff.

[north hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/magnus-warhammer-40k-magnus-the-red-sparkle-on-ahriman-gif-724996486906148219

They let us be this guy

And then boom

Strongest class

Ez pz

If that's too much then I will accept mephiston as a substitute

[deft stump]

Is this why you now just play Arby and Oggy?

[plucky flax]

No I still play psyker I enjoy this class the most.

Even though it's weakest and do no damage and die to 1 hit.

[young cliff]

i have been exposed to the madness that is Voidblast Gaze, its...addictive... specially since i made it run with both brain burst perks

[vestal trench]

.......this whole psyker bad shit's a bit right

i cant tell anymore

[young cliff]

idk if its "good" but it kinda works

[deft stump]

True madness is Strike gaze.

[vestal trench]

same way i cant tell if the whole "im not unsanctionedpsyker" thing is a bit anymore

[plucky flax]

No one knows who the real unsanctioned is.

A lot of imposters around but I think the real one is @marble crater

[deft stump]

The real one always lies and deflects.

[young cliff]

@plucky flax Tell me you that knows the warp: is the Arby doing so much damage that is actually racing Psyker on dps while being so tanky?

[vestal trench]

i am alpharius behavior

[deft stump]

Like that.

[plucky flax]

Hmm pure damage wise nothing can beat psyker. But arby is tankier so more forgiving and the dog just give passive damage.

[vestal trench]

the class feels like it has a lot of potential for strength to me but hard to pilot

but that doesnt make it need a buff...? or is the squishiness that bad lmao

[plucky flax]

Also if there's a skullcrusher ogryn then the arby's damage skyrockets.

[young cliff]

i have many games where at least one arby is quite near or ahead on damage, not always but enought to make me thing the Space cops damage is ridic

[plucky flax]

27 mins game the arby does so much damage to boss when ogryn hit it with him.

I don't think I've been beaten by arby yet though as psyker unless I die for like 5 mins.

[proper osprey]

Melee psyker will still out dps Arby

[young cliff]

then i just have to git gud to pull my weight

[proper osprey]

So will zealot

For whatever reason

[plucky flax]

Just don't play bubble knight into pus modifier.

It's not a good time.

[young cliff]

makes sense

pus mod is made to make us suffer

[plucky flax]

Assails get gimped and the warp slice also is categorised as 'range damage' so it's also gimped.

It's very sad.

My fav staff surge is also unplayable in pus.

Pus is the anti me.

[young cliff]

Why obesefish hates us using gun in gun game?

[plucky flax]

Seems you still get ee proc whilst spamming melee attacks with soulblaze activated so they didn't fix shit.

Who said psyker got nerf when hotfix dropped?

[proper osprey]

I kept it there as a treat

Sorry

[plucky flax]

Thank you.

I heard psyker is unplayable after this nerf.

Good to know the nerf/fix/whatever was done is a meme and nothing was actually changed.

[nocturne dust]

wasn't it for burn specifically?

[plucky flax]

Who knows my burn source is recon las and it crits constantly anyway.

[nocturne dust]

yeh, that's what I said when I saw the 'nerf'

[plucky flax]

It works the same at least in meatgrinder.

I dunno what nerf.

Or fix.

[spare comet]

should i run deflection/shred on fgs

or wrath/shred

im thinking the former

[plucky flax]

Maybe shred unstable?

[spare comet]

also possible

[proper osprey]

Shred and wrath are something you can’t go wrong with

Tbh even when I have deflector I never use it

[plucky flax]

If I can play without wrath in havoc then you don't need it for cleave.

Just use the special as cleavage.

[spare comet]

yeahhh

that's what im thinking

lol

[proper osprey]

Use precog

[plucky flax]

No that's too hard.

[proper osprey]

Fgs with dd

And precog

[proper osprey]

Back to your zealot roots

Use the dodge

@spare comet fr don’t sleep on precog lol the fgs already has insane finesse

Until I brought it into havoc it was my go too

[spare comet]

i dont trust that

i think ima do deflector/shred

[proper osprey]

He listened to one person call da build poopy shit and now it’s terrible

It’s true doe all my builds are terrible

[spare comet]

oh yea while im here

[plucky flax]

So tru

I see the problem I’m running talents

We don’t need dem

[plucky flax]

Keystoneless melee is best build.

[spare comet]

i slept on perilous combustion

[proper osprey]

Cuz you were running melee psyker

He don’t need dat but it’s nice

[young cliff]

I put a step into gaze staff and now I crave for more, but I feel that still have to make adjustments while using it with VB

[proper osprey]

I’m telling you

Gaze vb

Is peak

Constant tweaking

Tbh I find I have more survivability with dd vb than warp charges vb

[spare comet]

WRONG

[young cliff]

Me doing some maelstroms: I AGREE [Insert maniac laughter here]

[proper osprey]

[young cliff]

Busted

[proper osprey]

Pc is nice when you have dots to compliment it

Example

You have a horde of like 14 shotgunners

And your dd just appeared on them (neuron activation) so you pop gaze and much the 14 shotgunners in like 5 seconds with 15 stacks of dd amd gaze

Pc didn’t kill anything

You have inferno or vb

You kill 5 and damage the rest badly

Pc cleans them up

[proper osprey]

Tbh dd targets appear so much that you get constant toughness from gaze blazing spirit vb

[young cliff]

I do have a build using DD,but never done DD gaze outside of gunker, would need to test it if gaze Warp Syphon has been so interesting so far

[proper osprey]

Inf vb is pretty funny

People hated me for gaze vb 🥀

Thank you for the carry

[ripe obsidian]

You were not even in the game

my shadows

[proper osprey]

What beasts

[sturdy reef]

I dont think I've gotten that amount of boss dps even with oggy

[ripe obsidian]

These are fine voids

[sturdy reef]

but then again there were always 2 oggys

[strong gulch]

same for infurnus?

[sturdy reef]

also what scoreboard layout

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, boss damage Arby is silly.

[plucky flax]

I assume so didn't test. You'd get ee constantly when hitting a blob anyway

[ripe obsidian]

I think you pulled waaaay ahead of me in the last couple bosses. Before that we were like 30k damage apart

[strong gulch]

The cats names are Copy and Paste @ripe obsidian @proper osprey

[ripe obsidian]

As for scoreboard, it's Ovenproof + @summer prairie 's fix

These are good cat names

My void is Katterdemalia, my poof is Poobus

[sturdy reef]

kk

[ripe obsidian]

Your companion damage was like 30% higher than mine. Was that just from better tagging, better dogbomb usage, I guess?

[sturdy reef]

I think I tagged more

[ripe obsidian]

I am having issues with tagging. It'll tag once, then stop

But even still, I am not the best at it

[ripe obsidian]

Based on kills, I assume mine got more lesser enemies while yours got more elites/specials

[sturdy reef]

this is my boss build with the non stagger aura

since you already covered that aura

[ripe obsidian]

Ah, you also had doggo brittleness

I don't

[sturdy reef]

they insta pop the ranged elites with it basically

since the bleed double stacks on human sized enemies

[proper osprey]

My chud daughter

[ripe obsidian]

This is the build I was using

[strong gulch]

So wiggly 😭

[sturdy reef]

I used to run adamant will, but I figured that non of arbites' weapons have that much swing time

if they get like a greatsword or gratclub equivalent slower than the crusher I would prob run it

[ripe obsidian]

When standing in your disco ball, I facetanked a burster without taking any damage

I also pick Adamant Will for escaping fire

Since it prevents fire from slowing you

[sturdy reef]

ah true

[ripe obsidian]

And I dunno what I would take instead

[sturdy reef]

arbites revelatum

[ripe obsidian]

Also, @summer prairie and/or @plucky flax, Quietude or One with the Warp? Deimos + Purgatus

[sturdy reef]

the +dmg on dodge

[ripe obsidian]

I dropped that node for doggo bleed

[summer prairie]

the patch only touched mettle/perfect timing so not a surprise EE still works like that

[ripe obsidian]

But I do like the QoL of Adamant Will. I'm sure the +damage on dodge would be a nice DPS increase, but I am not sure if I want to drop the stun immunity

[summer prairie]

I currently have quietude but one with the warp might be better

[ripe obsidian]

I'm using OwtW for the reason that with Purgatus I have enough poxwalkers dying constantly for soulstealer that an extra bit of quell toughness isn't necessary. Also I only ever quell like 20-30% at a time

So I take OwtW for a bit of added tankiness for when I do get hit, hoping it will do less damage

[patent jacinth]

Take it so you can get to Soulguilt Scan (and the crit node before it)

[ripe obsidian]

No

I don't want those

[proper osprey]

[ripe obsidian]

Nothing in my build is worth dropping for that imo

[proper osprey]

Free 16 str on weakspot is crazy

[patent jacinth]

For 20% weakspot strength and 16% crit?

[ripe obsidian]

I mean

[proper osprey]

Kinda silly

[ripe obsidian]

It's a lot of damage, sure

But I just did an H40 taking 0 damage and doing 90% as much damage as someone with those nodes

[summer prairie]

The crit is whatever

[sturdy reef]

the crit is alright unless you are running taxe

then its basically required

[ripe obsidian]

I'll try a few runs with the +damage on dodge instead of Adamant Will and see how I feel. Not tonight, but eventually

[summer prairie]

He was running nuncio though

[proper osprey]

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

[sturdy reef]

nuncio is prob my fav support ability rn

[proper osprey]

I have a tac axe build I’m working on

Having trouble putting a point somewhere

[ripe obsidian]

True. Nuncio damage is much lower than BtL

Can't really compare accurately since our builds are different past the combat ability

[ripe obsidian]

You don't have the +weakspot node either. >:(

[proper osprey]

Correct

I don’t think his shock maul needs it

It needs cleave and I love my toughness talents

[sturdy reef]

dis is what I've been liking on the taxe

I do have a BTL version

[ripe obsidian]

It would be more damage, sure, and it might hit breakpoints. But I am happy with my build and my performance on it, so I don't really feel the need to give up 2-3 nodes to get more damage

[warm pagoda]

[plucky flax]

Also i have quietude and no soulstealer to path it there

[sturdy reef]

I dont think rapid movement is really necessary

[ripe obsidian]

I was using BM, but I needed more defensive abilities. I was taking too much damage

[ripe obsidian]

This is what I was doing. I swapped Quietude to Soulstealer and BM to OwtW

Trading off some damage to get more survivability

[plucky flax]

I just vibe and hope I dont get shot

[ripe obsidian]

I am not as good as you. >:(

This is known

[plucky flax]

Nah youre good im just lucky. And use more cheat mods

I have auto dodge mod and a mod to show optimal run path

Like arrows on the floor

Very secret very pro

Unsanctioned stuff

[sturdy reef]

heresy

[ripe obsidian]

I think the cheatiest mod I actually use is either the AOE display so I know where fire actually ends or the thing that shows debuff stacks

[sturdy reef]

I use the AoE mod for medkits

because otherwise there is too much vfx going on in havoc for me to tell

[strong gulch]

danger zone?

[sturdy reef]

ya

[strong gulch]

I think that's it

kk

[sturdy reef]

ik there is a daemonhost equivalent

but I can tell without it, so I never use it

[ripe obsidian]

Danger Zone does that too

[sturdy reef]

oh yeah

I just dont turn it on

[strong gulch]

I swear that mod is the only thing that actually help know that a burster is somewhere

[ripe obsidian]

Yeahhhh

[sturdy reef]

actually

wait

[ripe obsidian]

It helps a lot with that

[sturdy reef]

it isnt danger zone

that doesnt cover the medkits

[strong gulch]

hmm, i can't remember

ur right that the med kit is not danger zone

[sturdy reef]

also this should be in the base game: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/552

I might actually go for a perfect block build on the arbites with this

[plucky flax]

[sturdy reef]

ya its cursed

ik

[ripe obsidian]

Curse you, R3msky. You have gotten me second-guessing my build again. >:( Well, minmaxing individual nodes, at least.

I do it to myself all the time lmao

there's your tutorial

[deft stump]

You can use bad manners in havoc for more flaming?

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

It increases flaming over 50%

Steal all ammo from veterans, blow up barrels, blow up bursters

[potent echo]

Refuse to press F for dome

Also are we in the wildfire era now

No one questions wildfire pick anymore

[sturdy reef]

wildfire is ramp

its fine

not amazing, not bad

also you dont have to play dome, but ya gotta be good enough and with someone else taking a defensive ability

[fiery stratus]

did recent changes make soulblaze any less broken?

[deft stump]

I see.

[strong gulch]

I blew up 25 barrels in a run today.

[ripe obsidian]

Good job. The flame must grow

[strong gulch]

many boom

[deft stump]

So many ppl running BM now.

[marble crater]

More broken, depending on how recent we are talking about

you ever just look at random people's builds in the mourningstar for fun

[glacial vapor]

I don't like traumatising myself like that

[spare comet]

https://tenor.com/view/megan-tea-gif-17981754

I think this may be goated actually

[glacial vapor]

Seems alright tbh

[ripe obsidian]

This looks similar to my "turn off brain and LMB" meleeker build

No thought, no assail weaving

Just press F and butcher heretics

[fiery stratus]

pfft

let me show you a good build

[strong gulch]

my version of turn off brain is EK or assail trauma

[ripe obsidian]

I haven't used EK since before Havoc launched

[strong gulch]

no keystone psyker

let's goooo

[spare comet]

I do wonder why not Prescience tho

[glacial vapor]

The keystoneless psyker build is real

[ripe obsidian]

I played an H40 today where the other psyker was blaze trauma and I was rending trauma. The heretics had a Bad Time

[fiery stratus]

It is for Arbites too

[fiery stratus]

this is horrifying

[strong gulch]

🫡

[marble crater]

Double blocked

[strong gulch]

It's my precious. 😭

[marble crater]

It's time to throw it into Mt Doom

[spare comet]

Hold on. I have a vision

-# Why did he take Warp Expenditure

-# Why?

[deft stump]

What did I just see peeking in...

[ripe obsidian]

That appears to be almost identical to my brainless LMB build. Might be identical. Not positive

[strong gulch]

I even took the left toughness node to make the slected nodes not line up.

[spare comet]

This is rancid

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

yes

[spare comet]

I think I'm actually going to try this out

Thank you random Mourningstar player for the idea

-# I just had to take Warp Expenditure off there

[deft stump]

BM into this... I'm going to bed instead.

[fiery stratus]

Someone run this with recon las and tell me how good it is

[spare comet]

@ripe obsidian What ranged do you use for it?

[marble crater]

Good night

[ripe obsidian]

Usually bistol. Sometimes recon

[deft stump]

You mean late afternoon.

Is 4:23pm.

[unborn stag]

🫵

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, yours is slightly different. You have the SG node that stops headsploding. I don't bother with that b/c I have nothing to generate peril besides push-attack or warp slice on FGS

[marble crater]

Don't care, it's good night no matter which time someone goes to sleep

[spare comet]

@strong gulch Genuinely considering trying this out. What would you change

[deft stump]

I guess.

[spare comet]

I was thinking swapping Psykinetic's Aura for Wildfire

[marble crater]

Blocked

[ripe obsidian]

Instead I take the movespeed or TDR one. I can't recall which

[strong gulch]

What are you planning on running with it?

[unborn stag]

[marble crater]

Dropping Psy Aura for Wildfire is wild indeed

[spare comet]

well i have fgs / voidblast right now but i was probably going to swap to fgs / bolt pistol

[dusky bear]

is crit void blast/strike viable now?

[marble crater]

They always have been

[dusky bear]

blazing spirit?

[marble crater]

For blast yes, for strike not

[dusky bear]

does surge still only affect void blasts primary?

[marble crater]

Yes

[dusky bear]

thanks sutvvoo

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

Voidblast might be a lot to handle when SG is on cooldown. Not having perfect time would be sad for that.

bistol can take a long time reloading and have to do it often so active SG time would be wasted if you're using the gun a lot.

keeping DD stacks might be hard to do

that's my thoughts which more or less mean that melee is gonna be your main weapon.

You could do the niche arco build witch is rending shockwave with blazing spirit VB. It relies on true aim for crit and is used to set up ur melee hits or when things get spicy.

If were to do the build for me, I'd take assail instad of BB.

[potent echo]

They made it even more broken

Because SB procs PC now

[marble crater]

and KF

[potent echo]

Guh

[spare comet]

what blessings would you put on the mk6 greatsword?

[potent echo]

FGS bolt pistol is my favourite build

[spare comet]

wait wasn't this higher at one point
