[upper sun]

😭

[strong gulch]

I thought the harder aruics weren't live yet

[upper sun]

SEE

[marble crater]

They are

[analog agate]

They are

[upper sun]

🚬

[strong gulch]

oh...

well then

[upper sun]

i dont believe anyone here except potato

[analog agate]

They aren’t much harder

[strong gulch]

they felt like standard damnation

[upper sun]

JUST GIVE ME HAVOC SPAWNS

without partyfinder, and toughness/hp nerfs

[analog agate]

Why I liked the rituals modifier

[upper sun]

ye same

i think rituals and brutes were my favorite events so far

[strong gulch]

The brutes still haunt me.

Random builds going VERY badly.

[upper sun]

i loved it so much

ZERO beasts of nurgle

i felt safe and valid 🙏

[strong gulch]

Devil's claw with a laspitol and a smyker smiting the wall of crushers.

[upper sun]

yea

psyker cant meme armor like other classes

[strong gulch]

That one event that was only bonbon.

like wtf

[upper sun]

what was it

uhhhhh

horrors something

[strong gulch]

maybe?

[upper sun]

im 90% sure they spawned weakened BoNs

So it wasnt too bad

[strong gulch]

I remember that was my, "That's it I'm speccing in gun because no one is kill these slugs."

Had to save all of my ammo just for bons

[upper sun]

i liked it tbh i had so many bugs to report

[warped perch]

I love you so much

[thorn cedar]

it was endless weakened bons and every actual monster trigger active and also a full bon

it was kinda fun

[upper sun]

thanks

[marble crater]

The current event is my favorite

[gray juniper]

You lucky sun of a bich. I wish I could find those games

[strong gulch]

i need to finish the current one

[strong gulch]

This event and VB go kinda hard.

[pulsar solar]

Which one?

[marble crater]

Practicing huh

[gray juniper]

The current event actually isn’t bad at all. If they did a lights out one I’d be happy. Probably wasn’t the brightest thing to release Arby’s and inferno event at the same time though

[zinc tartan]

How does this look? 129 toughness and 205 Health.

[marble crater]

I would change toughness regen speed for more health and toughness

Health, toughness and resistance on each curio

[strong gulch]

Looks fine. The main thing is keeping in mind that the toughness rgen speed doesn't work in melee or out of coherency.

[zinc tartan]

So, health, toughness, then gunner, sniper, and flex resist?

[marble crater]

I.e. It's useless

[undone pewter]

Malleus Monstronum

[zinc tartan]

Roger that! Yeah, i wondered why I never saw much of a difference

[strong gulch]

Also if you're gonna do gunner resistance, doing x3 is better than not if you can fit it.

[marble crater]

Resistance is up to you, personally I use combat ability cooldown

Don't need sniper resistance, if you just don't get hit

[strong gulch]

true lmao but it is nice when you do

sniper resist is def dropable

[rotund dagger]

hear the woom from the sniper

dodge

easy

[zinc tartan]

I am trying to run bubble blaze voidblast. I guess it doesn't matter as much

[rotund dagger]

do that shit with my eyes closed

[marble crater]

Just say no, the sniper can't shoot you, if you don't consent

[strong gulch]

counter point

there is no sound and no laser or it's not even pointing at you and it shoots you

[rotund dagger]

Counter counter point

[mighty cipher]

Fartshart netcode

[strong gulch]

Ye. Bletter postioning and bubble also makes shooters less of an issue

[strong gulch]

you game worked correctly

nice counter point

how did you fix the FS servers?

[upper sun]

wanna play a game rn?

[strong gulch]

no hit reg upon ye lmao

[gray juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/amazing-sarcasm-ok-cool-clap-gif-16214875

Zealot

[rotund dagger]

zealoting

[ripe obsidian]

I think I am doing toughness + gunner resist + CDR

[gray juniper]

If you’re on in a little while. I’m eating a luxurious dinner salad

[upper sun]

no 😭 its super late my last game of the night

[strong gulch]

i can game if you want another player

[strong gulch]

rip

[upper sun]

if you're down now its fine

[ripe obsidian]

Inferno is Light's Out + fire

[strong gulch]

when the game works it works

dodge sniper good

[strong gulch]

kk

booting

[hearty wolf]

Is there a reason you tagged me in this in particular

Before I commit to 15m of what I already probably know

[upper sun]

oh no dont watch the whole thing i didnt

they essentially just speed run it

had no idea that was still doable

[zinc tartan]

Went with 3x Health and Toughness, 1 sniper (cause I know I am gonna get hit), and 2x Combat Ability Regen. I am running your pinned "VB (voidblast / trauma)". Thanks for the advice and build friend!!

[hearty wolf]

Good movement

[gray juniper]

Yea but too much light!

[deft stump]

Do NOT quickplay when set to private. it means it's public.

[upper sun]

CIVI MAELSTROM

[hearty wolf]

CC is the name of the game, ya. It just isn't very fun to play that way imo

It's like using smite while moving

[deft stump]

If you want, I'll restart the game and help with it.

[undone pewter]

Thanks mate, but I've given up for today 😝

[gray juniper]

All Arby’s and ogryns is a huge difficulty modifier

[pulsar solar]

Are havoc completions independent for each character? Or can I complete 50 on 1 and get all the cosmetics?

[deft stump]

Oh. I mean, you can poke whenever. I'll get my oggy so we can go provoke DH as well.

[deft stump]

It's shared so... Just play whatever. I mean I literally only play Zealot there and have the vet stuff for my dumb recon build.

[pulsar solar]

Neat

I say this as someone who grew up on a goat farm.

i swear i heard the trapper coming from the front

[hearty wolf]

I think I could come for 1

[brittle condor]

What stat do I want to throw away on purge staff?

[strong gulch]

warp resist

[upper sun]

i tried to jump the box but couldnt 😭

[strong gulch]

[hearty wolf]

Alright

I'm otw

[upper sun]

very cool tho 😎

[ripe obsidian]

My hair goes through this hat. >:(

[gray juniper]

Extremely satisfying footage of sniper getting his shit ripped to pieces

[proper osprey]

Dis is why you’re a noob

[gray juniper]

@ripe obsidian @upper sun dopamine refuels with hearty salad. If you guys are still playing I’d like to join

[strong gulch]

He's already in bed.

[hearty wolf]

I'm coming anyway

[ripe obsidian]

I just returnèd.

[hearty wolf]

We gotta game

[ripe obsidian]

I was eating a smoothie bowl.

[strong gulch]

@upper sun I think I was lagging and got stuck in a heavy animation.

Got interrupted out of a special and neither I nor the game knew what to do.

@hearty wolf @ripe obsidian I can do a couple

[hearty wolf]

https://discord.com/channels/727074276724965407/1042858170923618346

[hearty wolf]

WTF lmao xd

[hearty wolf]

come

[strong gulch]

on my way

[steady ocean]

what usually a good dump stat for staves?

[ripe obsidian]

Warp resist. Except on Voidstrike. Then radius.

[deft stump]

I told you all before sound space in this game is janky. I hear trapper from behind and it's actually "infront".

[keen cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/samurai-champloo-mugen-anime-fight-anime-fighting-spin-gif-26880244

you must not rely on your ears or eyes to achieve perfectness, rely only on your instinct

[gray juniper]

Now just hold on a minute. You work in between this havoc speed runner

[gray juniper]

Did he get sliced in that fight?

[keen cargo]

watch samurai champloo to see

it's a must see

[gray juniper]

I have but I forgot. Pretty sure she beat him

[keen cargo]

he does not get sliced but he loses the fight by jumping off the cliff

then some fisherman heals him up and teaches him how to catch fish

and tells him he must not rely on his sights but feel the flow

[gray juniper]

Yes that’s how it went. I knew he lost. The other Jin gets wounded I think

[keen cargo]

which leads to him beating her by closing his eyes when he meets her again

[gray juniper]

Ok maybe I’m wrong again. I remember the sad song scene pretty well

[keen cargo]

haha

most memorable one

that's on the island where Mugen is from where he meets the girl he left the island for that he fancies

[gray juniper]

https://youtu.be/IFWS3cfz7OE?si=3hBxvyrLjlyTryH8

Brutal story behind the song

I watch very little anime these days

mostly read light novels and manga/manwha

[deft stump]

Why do you think trappers get 3 Bistol shots IDC where. it's a kill.

[gray juniper]

And?

I don’t even know what manwha means and you’re calling me a weeb

https://tenor.com/view/larry-david-checking-out-check-inspect-stare-gif-4535593

[marble crater]

Korean manga

[gray juniper]

Got u

I only consume so much Japanese animation. You can’t be well rounded and only enjoy one thing or find insights only from that

[marble crater]

I don't hide the fact I love anime

[gray juniper]

It’s nothing to be ashamed of

I do little kid things with my son all the time because he wants me to

[long wharf]

I was being facetious, first of all

second, if you're watching anime to "find insights"... you're gonna have a bad day

I had my kids watch Cowboy Bebop with me when they were old enough

Samurai Champloo is legit

Most anime is weeb trash with shades of pedo but that’s actually artful tv

[deft stump]

I mean, it's just like a proverb.

[strong gulch]

@ripe obsidian @hearty wolf I have a real illisi that doesn't have exorsist and blazing spirit on it.

[ripe obsidian]

:D

[hearty wolf]

pog

We game hard tomorrow

For being brain-dead, that run was okay

but there was no way we were winning that without @ripe obsidian

[ripe obsidian]

High praise.

[strong gulch]

Yeah it was. Game troll me in additoin to not knowing how to use my melee. lmao

[rotund dagger]

@proper osprey answer the question

[hearty wolf]

It's absolutely true, many situations became unfucked by you pressing F

[strong gulch]

I'm honestly suprised at my damage for being dead as much as I was.

[proper osprey]

throwing knife

[rotund dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/mustard-cheese-gif-21912643

[ripe obsidian]

I rarely see anyone using the Nuncio, but it's probably the best combat ability

I wonder how it will feel once it's fixed to only be 30% TDR instead of 70%

[rotund dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/scout-gif-25786536

[strong gulch]

@hearty wolf This doesn't seem too bad for tomorrow.

[hearty wolf]

I mean in terms of just managing hordes, it was pretty equal across the board

I do have to say though

Our position was dog shit

In lots of those rooms, it was very ??

[strong gulch]

🙋

Also I escaped the many shooters tho.

[ripe obsidian]

I'm still figuring out positioning on this Arbites build. I can position well on Psyker, and on Forceful Arby I just run in and do battle. But this arby build is somewhat squishier.

[strong gulch]

I have an EXTREMELY hard time keeping track of where my teammates are. So my positioning is always sus.

[hearty wolf]

Still think it will be insane, that revive speed is insane and also the damage taken +ogryn brittleness enables soulblaze to fuck shit up

[hearty wolf]

It wasn't necessarily in-fight positioning

Just the route we took along the map was super fucked

[ripe obsidian]

Probably, yeah. Nuncio > BtL > Castigator. Castigator is funny, but I don't think it's great in most situations

[hearty wolf]

Like fighting in the open and being exposed to 360 degrees xd

[ripe obsidian]

The Lex protected us

[hearty wolf]

That one drop down too was super cursed for me

I dropped and there was like 60 ranged trash

[ripe obsidian]

It happens. I needed to be more aggressive with some bosses.

[gray juniper]

Why does that seem so… tame? I remember looking at someone else havoc with five modifiers and leaving

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, it also has like Moebian 21st and tentacles and shit, that's just not advertised

[gray juniper]

What do you mean? We’re right here!

[gray juniper]

Wew boy I see

[gray juniper]

It’s cartoonish as shit. I imagine some guy popping out of his grave like “haha! I think not!”

[ripe obsidian]

@hearty wolf I was wrong, the special shot does the same damage, just +25% brittleness

[analog solstice]

Man I hate that just someone breathing in my direction just blasts me into oblivion as a psyker on max havoc

[hearty wolf]

Makes sense. It sounds louder

Also I think I'm getting fucked damage wise in h40 because

[thorny trail]

These pants were so worth it

[hearty wolf]

I'm spending a lot more shotgun shots trying to kill the same special or elite

I probably need to change shotgun

[ripe obsidian]

Which one are you using?

[hearty wolf]

Executioner viii with flakiac

[ripe obsidian]

That's the right one. I just use maniac+unyielding

[strong gulch]

I couldn't find y'all even with outlines.

[hearty wolf]

I mean the other shotguns might be better for special killing or even the Zarona

Or maybe it's the blessings I have

Full bore and punishing salvo

[ripe obsidian]

I use Full Bore + Execution

[hearty wolf]

There were some instances where I was dumping 3 shells into a single shotgunner

At range but still

Yesterday I felt like my shotgun was dealing double damage luls

[ripe obsidian]

This was also healing enemies

[hearty wolf]

Yuh. Still my least disliked modifier I think

Things like Pox skin..😭

[ripe obsidian]

Pox Skin is rough, but the red aura one is the worst by far

[gray juniper]

I’m pretty sure auric quick play throws you into maelstroms now because some matches are nothing and others are heinously crowded

[analog agate]

Last time I tried quickplay it was bugged. It would the majority of the time put you in regular damnation story missions

[deft stump]

I just get story missions that are more hellhole than normal missions somehow.

[ripe obsidian]

The game wants you to suffer.

[deft stump]

Like, I thought they were supposed to be easier.

Nope, have fun with 6 crushers and 8 maulers at once.

[gray juniper]

I just did maelstrom specifically and yes by comparison that was definitely maelstrom I got quickplayed into. The difference is stark

[deft stump]

Damnation quickplay... btw.

It even had the story thing as the modifier.

[gray juniper]

I don’t remember them quickplaying you into maelstrom unless you selected it directly

[rotund dagger]

I could take em

[mint matrix]

auric qp is bugged probably I've gotten an unusual amount of campaign missions (once got the same mission three times in a row)

[deft stump]

I mean, I had to. Also why does story damnation end up with 22 ragers and 5 maulers?

In one "wave".

[rotund dagger]

isnt story damn just

damn

[deft stump]

But "easier".

[rotund dagger]

no

ease these nuts

play heresy

[strong gulch]

I did story auric ealier and it was pretty empty.

[deft stump]

Don't need to, just watched ppl crumple.

[strong gulch]

Game is funny.

[deft stump]

Not everyone in damnation can play damnation.

[strong gulch]

true

[deft stump]

And not all can deal with lag.

Dunno how some Americans have lag on their own server.

[strong gulch]

A nation of skill issues.

[deft stump]

Actual lag though.

[strong gulch]

yeah is joke

Being US East playing US East with 120+ ping.

[potent echo]

I have <50ms ping to another country 2500km away

But granted there's alot of money riding on this Ethernet line

[deft stump]

And then have a 300 ping gal having to somehow clutch on vet.

.-.

[hearty wolf]

I can't sleep ffs xd

Too brain-dead to play, too brain alive to sleep

Why is life like this

[strong gulch]

REAL

[deft stump]

To suffer, clearly.

[analog solstice]

How come I can have 100% hp, no corruption and in one crusher hit I am absolutely anihilated, dead

no downed state, just deleted from the party

[deft stump]

Havoc?

[analog solstice]

Havoc 40

[deft stump]

If so, all melee damage have corruption.

Overheads are melee.

[analog solstice]

Fuck

[deft stump]

You straight up die if you aren't an oggy or until death zealot.

Havoc lvl just changes the amount of corruption taken.

[jovial juniper]

So

[deft stump]

It's % of actual hit.

[jovial juniper]

Overhead did 1 wound of corruption and downed you, applying another wound of corruption

[deft stump]

So you ate like at least 200 damage in corruption

[pulsar solar]

@strong gulch you have a bubble build for staves?

[left crypt]

defence the dump stat on the noob needle?

[analog agate]

It would just be the build in pins but bubble instead of shriek.

But, EK really pairs well with shriek. You really lose out on dps without it

[pulsar solar]

Fair enough

[strong gulch]

No. EK really wants shriek. EK's strength is in how quick it can proc SB talents and psyk's aura +CDR for shriek spam.

[pulsar solar]

Same for voidblast?

[strong gulch]

Yes, but Inferno and VB can transfer to bubble easier because they can handle nearly everything all at once. Just take melee for the few things they struggle with.

[pulsar solar]

What would change with your builds if you slotted in bubble for both inferno and VB? The trees I mean

[analog agate]

Nothing. It would just be a 1 to 1 change to bubble

[strong gulch]

The only difference is taking ER on inferno since you have to keep track of your peril and quelling more.

[analog solstice]

Man, Havoc 40 as psyker is so rough, you just evaporate instantly for the most minor thing

[strong gulch]

Otherwise it's the same. ER isn't needed for inferno on aurics tho

[analog solstice]

The havocs was pretty chill until 36+ the bubble just gets mulched so quickly

[deft stump]

6 seconds.

Always assume 6 seconds.

[analog agate]

It is to provide fast relief or time to poke out and kill gunners

[analog solstice]

I was at like the last 10% of a havoc 40 and felt everything was going pretty smooth only to get mauled into oblivion by a crusher because when i tried to dodge i bumped into some groaner and everything collapsed

[hearty wolf]

I'm

Still

Awake

The fucking birds are singing the dawn chorus

I'm doomed

[ripe obsidian]

Hello birds

[ornate hamlet]

they start singing at like 2-3am where i live

[shrewd moon]

woah psyker class chat, made in honor of the best class in darktide

[sterile steppe]

Can I ask , how the difficulty is? like...is havok highest? Auric? Maelstron? I have not unlocked above Heresy, so I want to know how it goes.

[twilit badger]

Havoc 40 is the hardest one currently

[sterile steppe]

And what else is there?

[twilit badger]

Second hardest

Probably auric maelstrom

Tho there's big difficulty gap between auric maelstrom and havoc 40

Havoc 40 with nasty combo of mutations on hard map is the worst

[sterile steppe]

so, its Maelstrom, then auric maelstrom, then havoc 1, 2, 3, 4, ..... 40?

[twilit badger]

Nope

Okay let me clarify

Low level havocs are very easy

Easier than malice difficulty

[sterile steppe]

So, its Heresy, Malic, Damnation, Havoc, Maelstrom? Havoc 40?

[sterile steppe]

That is good to know

[twilit badger]

I'd say auric difficulty is harder than let's say, Havoc 25

[ripe obsidian]

Auric was about H25, yeah. Not sure about it since the supposed increase in difficulty

[dense wolf]

i was going to say something

forgot tho,,

[ripe obsidian]

I will say something in your stead.

Hi.

[plucky flax]

Hi.

[quaint elk]

Joined a game where the only hordeclear was me with my smite

Not ideal

[sullen bobcat]

Have you tried not being a smite psyker?

[zinc wedge]

Does scriers gaze pair well with smite

Asking for a friend

[deft stump]

Is like guy complaining about having no frontliners as a vet.

[sullen bobcat]

No

[deft stump]

When there's a knoife WS vet and a Combat Axe WS vet...

And technically a zealot.

Thought more support than anything.

[sullen bobcat]

Speed boosted scryer's with a two handed force sword is really just:
"Look at me. I am the zealot now"

[dense wolf]

ahem

[deft stump]

You know.

[dense wolf]

yah

[deft stump]

Well, I think you ran WS.

[dense wolf]

i forgot

[deft stump]

Cos ppl don't CAxe without WS.

Cos chop heds faster.

How do you forget your own builds?

[dense wolf]

i did

[torpid girder]

Are there any substitutions for high mobility weapons that can kill mutants really fast aside from the DS? I've been using the knife but it doesn't kill mutants as fast, deimos 1shots but i have to sacrifice a bit of mobility for it

Wondering if knife and deimos are the only two options

[vestal trench]

tac axe if u runnin right side tree (assail/gaze/DD)

aside from that i think knife and DS are the most mobile ones?

not sure what else has the mobility of those 3

[torpid girder]

Running a shriek spam warp charge soulblaze trauma build

I guess i'll just get used to knife

[vestal trench]

idk how it is for mk 6 but

[plucky flax]

Push attack spam with mk6 knife.

[vestal trench]

can probably kill fast with special -> attack follow up or just pushattack spam iirc?

[plucky flax]

It should kill mutie okay if you hit head.

[vestal trench]

totally not unsanctionedpsyker types fast

[dense wolf]

[torpid girder]

It does 2shot mutants but only if i hit head 💔

[vestal trench]

mk6 vs mk3 knife's just preference right?

[torpid girder]

I didn't realize how spoiled I was for a quick mutant killing weapon until I had to look for DS alternatives

[vestal trench]

god i i know deimos is safer and would be better since i could probs use the stagger when i get overwhelmed

but i suck at block canceling l1 h1

i do way better on obscurus

[sullen bobcat]

Imagine not being part of the two handed force sword master race

[torpid girder]

Makes me too slow 💔

I loved using the DS as a quickswap mobility tool and also to occasionally kill like a hound or mutant or something so I tried the knife but it can be iffy when it comes to mutant killing unless its head is visible or i crit

Might try out the deimos and see how different that lower mobility is

[vestal trench]

i get u tho

i use knife on trauma bc i cant not have the mobility

feels harder to play mindful on that than purgatus

[deft stump]

Mk6>Mk3 generally. Only zealot can really use the Mk3 tbh.

[torpid girder]

last time I asked mk6 vs mk3 i started an argument but i was told mk6 was better

[deft stump]

Because it is in general. Just more ex stamina wise for single target.

[vestal trench]

is mk 3 better on zealot?

or is it actually preference over there

i only used mk6 early on lol

[deft stump]

No, but it's not as bad as using it on other classes.

[vestal trench]

gotcha

i'll give it a shot

....is it also just light spam for horde then heavy/PA for elites?

[deft stump]

Cos you can aim at back of heads to ding them.

But is only used to do stealth loner things.

And you actually need to be good at clicking heads more than Mk6.

[plucky flax]

That's too hard.

[dense wolf]

hmm

[deft stump]

UnsanctionedPsyker saying that while having to carry a panicky 300 ping controller using gremlin.

[wet charm]

Squeak! (Hello fren! Your build is fine if you want to play around Brain Burst. But from Rat's experience, Brain Burst simply isnt worth investing into, and you are better off having the Voidblast Staff being the primary weapon and as such, investing into your staff's abilities. However again everyone has their own playstyle and as long as you can make it work and have fun, thats all that matters!) :3

I'm more focusing around the voidblast staff

[plucky flax]

Game is cool but fps is just much smoother than third person.

Brain burst is to make up for my lack of range

I think it synergises very well with enhanced psionics

[dusky gale]

any builds running assail and greatsword with gaze, kinda off meta but looking for a non burst build to chill in auric/damn that are effective

and require semi effort, no tryhard all the time

[waxen ember]

Whats the dump stat for the voidstrike force staff?

[plucky flax]

Sure just go down right side

[deft stump]

Blast radius for meta.

[waxen ember]

cheers

[gray juniper]

So glad you asked. Tell me what you think

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

[marble crater]

That's just gunker

[marble crater]

Can I tell you what I think?

[gray juniper]

B-b-but its assail, with greatsword, with gaze 🥺

[gray juniper]

I can handle it

[marble crater]

Drop the toughness damage reduction from gaze, drop the extra toughness node at the top, get soulstealer and warp splitting instead. Switch slower peril gain in gaze for the other node for more damage

Then I would also drop surety of arms and the last DD node for warp rider

[dense wolf]

I feel like a hamster while using psyker class

Powerful yet I can die a gruesome death if an Oggy isn’t there for me

[deft stump]

I feel ded playing it.

[dense wolf]

You got torn to shreds

[dense wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-shocked-gif-8856983858136280060

Playing psyker does give me the most fps for some reason

[gray juniper]

I’ll probably make an alt build out of this and try it out. It’s liable this puts up more damage in trade for reasonable time because I find myself with excess time

[deft stump]

Paper. I rather play my vet.

[dense wolf]

Didn’t you

Uh

Me forgot again

Get blown off the map

[velvet sand]

every psyker u get in random parties goes down 20 times before the match is over

[marble crater]

Crack of Bone and Tranquility Through Slaughter make sure you don't need the slower peril gain from gaze, so you can take the increased damage instead. Toughness damage reduction is multiplicative, so not great. Soulstealer and warp splitting are great for assail and so is warp rider

[marble crater]

Sorry

[gray juniper]

Wait this last part is throwing me off. I use assail intermittently and situationally with gaze. The DD stacks don’t stay that long so why am I giving these things up?

Like that window for warp rider helping is going to be pretty short right?

[marble crater]

DD stacks last 10 seconds, imo you don't need the stacks on weakspot node. It's more important if you go for 25 stack DD

[marble crater]

Probably and there is definitely an argument for not taking warp rider, but I like it for the situations where I actually do have some peril

[gray juniper]

Yea that makes sense

[gray juniper]

Probably enough time to take down one big guy rather than a couple but fighting more than one takes too much time for gaze anyway so yea

[deft stump]

Barrels are evil.

It’s hard

I hope you’re good at movement

Sounds terrible, why would you play this

[hearty wolf]

[proper osprey]

[pine shore]

Wow this might be one of your most terrible builds

[proper osprey]

It’s terrible

Please don’t run it

It’s the worst thing ever

[pine shore]

I actually was thinking about running this

But with a shotgun instead of a staff

[marble crater]

I will run it and if people comment on it, I will blame you

[proper osprey]

Excellent

[summer prairie]

drop the gaze dr node and take a normal toughness node instead

[marble crater]

Can I run this with BB instead of Assail, Shriek instead of Gaze and WS instead of DD?

[proper osprey]

Actually? Can we have a team run it?

[proper osprey]

Whatever your heart desires

[proper osprey]

Guh

Where I stick it

[ripe obsidian]

South of warp rider

[proper osprey]

It’s it bad?

[marble crater]

Probably, also probably won't have any issues winning missions if you have a team from here

[ripe obsidian]

Or be funny and take the +movespeed SG node

[summer prairie]

it's a bigger eHP increase than the dr node

[proper osprey]

I do that wif my meth ( dd target)

[summer prairie]

at least in havoc

[proper osprey]

Friggin pooches steal them

I was coping so hard

The people said you’re the first good melee psyker I’ve seen actually put in work in havoc

Made me happy

Also fuck bulwarks and crushers

[ripe obsidian]

Go faster.

[quartz barn]

Neither of those are a real threat as melee psyker?

You melt them

[ripe obsidian]

Which tacaxe is the common pick?

[summer prairie]

I like mk4 now

best heavies

[proper osprey]

I’d be mulching shotgunners, gunners, ragers then boom 4 bulwarks stop my spree

[marble crater]

None of them are a common pick

[proper osprey]

When it’s rampaging it’s an issue

[quartz barn]

Ye ok fair multiple bulwarks do be cockblocking

[proper osprey]

Other than that sure

[proper osprey]

I like 7

[quartz barn]

You still oneshot them however

[proper osprey]

With tac axe?

Are you sure

[quartz barn]

Uhh nvm not with taxe

[proper osprey]

You silly billy

[quartz barn]

Was thinking fgs or obscurus

[proper osprey]

Oh yeah those mulch them

[proper osprey]

I also didn’t block a single rager attack and instantly had to lock in instead of dilly dally in the horde mulching

[quartz barn]

Make sure you get a team from the class chats rather than lfg tho

[proper osprey]

That match I did it with was a random lfg

[quartz barn]

Because some people in lfg are

@jovial juniper gaze and despair

Eat sleep tac axe repeat

[sterile steppe]

So, can I ask, what counts as a Warp attack

For the Talents. Soulstealer, etc...

[ripe obsidian]

You can ask.

[marble crater]

[ripe obsidian]

Staff attacks, soulblaze, blitzes, and I believe force sword powered attacks.

[strong gulch]

Any attack that builds peril and SB (soulblaze) DoT.

[sterile steppe]

ah, so the force greatsword special attack also?

[strong gulch]

Please note that SG (scrier's gaze) does not convert non warp attacks into warp ones.

[ripe obsidian]

I believe so. Not positive.

[strong gulch]

yes

[marble crater]

Next gaze buff leaked

[sterile steppe]

Ah! that is very good to know, I want to do a melee greatsword scriers thing...cuz it looks fun as heck!

How good is the voicestrike staff?

[proper osprey]

This is terrible don’t run it

[sterile steppe]

erm...does he explain in build?

[marble crater]

It's okay, it's the worst of the staves, but you can play auric with it

But at the end of the day it's still a voidstrike staff

[proper osprey]

It’s melee psyker

You melee

[sterile steppe]

Voidstrike, is the one where you put a circle on ground, and it blows up right?

[proper osprey]

Use voidblast if you’re surrounded by orgyns

[proper osprey]

Voidblast

[strong gulch]

no

VS (voidstrike) has balls that fly throught the air.

[sterile steppe]

oh! is voidstrike, the one where you do like a blast of void energy in front of you?

[strong gulch]

VB (voidblast) has the circle on the ground

[sterile steppe]

AH!!! so, how good is voidblast then?

[strong gulch]

Very

[proper osprey]

One of his best staffs

Tied with inferno

[strong gulch]

If you mean something that looks like blueish white fire, then that is inferno.

[sterile steppe]

Inferno is the flamethrower thing I am sure....why is inferno good? When I tried it, it did no damage, and against hoards, just melee them, was faster

[long vessel]

Thank you for asking that. I always get stomped when I use it. You have to close, it takes a while, and does dot. To my newb brain electro staff is better/ safer

[strong gulch]

You have to build staves right, but inferno have infinite cleave that scales with density.

[marble crater]

Fatshark: "Trauma and Surge are too confusing, because we have blessings with the same names, we will change the names for clarity."
Also Fatshark: Voidstrike and Voidblast

[sterile steppe]

^_^ why wont I ask that, im new as heck! and want to know how to get better

[sterile steppe]

so...the electro staff does not have cleave? how is inferno compared to electro

[marble crater]

Both are great at very different things

[long vessel]

I saw on YT recently someone say that inferno scales better into higher difficulty because of the scaling potato mentioned, so I guess as horde size grows with difficulty, inferno performs better relatively to the others but I still find it clunky and slow and I always get left behind when I use it

[sterile steppe]

If you get left behind....its your team fault, then they made mistake, and deserve to die!

[strong gulch]

They are very different. EK is fast elimination of mostly single targets with some CC; struggle in hordes. Inferno have infinite cleave and can handle high density on it's own with good stagger too; the only thing it struggles with is crushers but melee covers that.

[sterile steppe]

EK doesnt work in hoards? but when I tried it, the damn thing spread tons! looks like it has a ton of AOE

[strong gulch]

Apply dot and keep moving

[marble crater]

EK has no aoe, it only hits two targets

[long vessel]

I wanna make bodies explode tho :/

[strong gulch]

No. EK zaps 2 enemies with electricity.

1 gets most of the damage

[sterile steppe]

AH!!! SO it only looks big, but its sht for clear, got it. its a elite/boss killer type thing?

[strong gulch]

Elite and specials for EK. It has ok monster damage for a staff.

[marble crater]

EK only hitting two targets won't stop me from spamming it into hordes though

[strong gulch]

In general, psyker is not the monster killer.

Gotta fire up shriek.

[marble crater]

I wouldn't say that, I have barreled a zealot or two in my time

[strong gulch]

Also LMB spam thins them out.

[strong gulch]

you mean killer of monster killers

[marble crater]

No, they were just monsters

[strong gulch]

[marble crater]

Stinky zealots

[proper osprey]

Psyker can do good boss dps but not the best

If you’re melee psyker using the ds or fgs you will do work though

Melee psyker has higher finesse than zealot and almost equal crit

He’s amazing at melee but you’ll be a true glass cannon

[proper osprey]

Sorry I’ll shower

[summer prairie]

is it a bubble knight if you run FGS and recon but take this instead for assail, weird

[marble crater]

Blame Agent

[summer prairie]

he also takes battle meditation for his assail

[sterile steppe]

So...what is the dump stat for the VoidBlast staff? and the Inferno staff

[plucky flax]

No

[marble crater]

Agent takes BM?

[summer prairie]

yes

[glacial vapor]

Warp res

[strong gulch]

dumps in the pins.

Warp resist for both

[marble crater]

Voidblast: Warp res
Inferno: believe it or not, also Warp res

Every psyker weapon that isn't voidstrike? Also warp res

[marble crater]

Well I will and you can't stop me

[sterile steppe]

Lol!.....

[plucky flax]

I dont take bm on my assails stop spreading slander

[ripe obsidian]

Maybe you should.

[sterile steppe]

what curios shoudl we use?

well...as a FGS psyker?

I dont see that in builds, and some have said block stamina reduction, but that feels....wierd?

And is wounds super useful? or should we go more health?

[proper osprey]

Me personally I do 2 toughness and 1 stam

With gunner res, stam regen, and sprint efficiency

[sterile steppe]

not ability cooldown?

why sprint eff?

[proper osprey]

A lot of people do gunner res, toughness, health

[proper osprey]

Repositioning and it helps in clutches

[proper osprey]

No need he has warp charges and psy aura

[sterile steppe]

also, how does peril work? after 100%....do you have a timer to blow up? how much do you have to quell for it to not kill you? is 99% ok?

[proper osprey]

You can reach 100 but not go over

[ripe obsidian]

Wounds is actually the opposite of useful. It makes you weaker.

[marble crater]

If you are at 100% and use something with peril you go boom

[ripe obsidian]

Sort of.

Wounds means health stims heal you for less

[sterile steppe]

WHAT!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?

[marble crater]

If you are at 97% and use brain burst, you also go boom

[ripe obsidian]

Health stims: "Restores one health segment, or 25% of max health, whichever one is larger, of health and corruption damage."

If you have 3 wounds, that means a 33% heal instead of a 50% heal

[sterile steppe]

wait, then isnt it ok....since no matter what it will heal 25% of yoru health

OH!!!

I SEE!!!!!!!

right, segment.....the stim heals that much! jesus ok

[quartz barn]

2 wound gaming, heal for 50%

[ripe obsidian]

Wounds do not increase HP. They just increase the amount of times you can go down before dying.

[sterile steppe]

are you able to get like....4 wounds then?

[proper osprey]

Even on zealot a keystone that benefits from having a ton of wounds still isn’t good

[ripe obsidian]

I guess you could get 5 wounds on a Damnation psyker

[sterile steppe]

Lol!!!

[quartz barn]

If you run multiple wound curios yes

[marble crater]

Play zealot and get 7

[sterile steppe]

I mean, I know I do not want to get wounds now...but just curious

So....a curio, will only have at max , 1 wound?

[ripe obsidian]

Correct.

[quartz barn]

Yes

[marble crater]

Yes

[proper osprey]

Never use wounds even on martyrdom

[quartz barn]

Nah run 9 wounds

[proper osprey]

I will never understand Marty

[sterile steppe]

the heck is martyrdome?

[proper osprey]

The worst zealot keystone

[marble crater]

Zealot keystone, don't worry about it

[ripe obsidian]

I use 2x toughness, 1x health, and gunner resist, toughness, and CDR. Can swap the CDR for health, or I guess for stamina if you really want to.

[proper osprey]

Just know there’s a keystone right next to it that does exactly what it does but better and without taking damage

Ij

My beloved

[marble crater]

I call it Momentum

[sterile steppe]

how do you guyst get the 500 power curios

[marble crater]

You don't, 430 is the highest

[proper osprey]

@plucky flax what’s the cleave cap on the fgs?

[sterile steppe]

so, how do you get the 430 curious then? you cannot craft them right? just have to farm them?

[plucky flax]

I dunno its not that high. But the special is unlimited

[proper osprey]

I know dat and guh

[ripe obsidian]

You're unlimited!

[marble crater]

Be lvl 30 and lucky, either mission rewards, buying them in the armory or gamble at Melk

what about the inferno?

[sterile steppe]

why blas radius?

[marble crater]

warp res

[proper osprey]

Warp res

[long vessel]

Same exact build just use different melee?

[chrome linden]

im also interested in why radious

[marble crater]

Because it only affects the explosion at the end of the ball and we don't care about that

[proper osprey]

Correct

[chrome linden]

kk

ill write this down

[dense wolf]

[sterile steppe]

isnt that the part that does damage?

[long vessel]

Cool I might try- my psyker has the best fashiontide out of all my toons

[proper osprey]

Dump war res on sword, flak, unyielding, good blessings are precog, riposte, shred, wrath

[marble crater]

The part that does damage is the ball cleaving through all the targets, the explosion at the end is not important

If the ball flying through enemies already kills 100 you don't care if it's 101 because the explosion at the end is a little big bigger

Better have more warp res and spam more balls

[sterile steppe]

Ah, the ball has huge cleave?

[marble crater]

Yeah, huge is an understatement

[sterile steppe]

wait...so is voidstrike staff better than voidblast?

[marble crater]

No

[chrome linden]

opinion on blaze force greatsword?

[sterile steppe]

it sounds like blast.....is meh, compared to strike, cuz that thing can kill so much

[marble crater]

Voidblast is much better than Voidstrike
Voidstrike is by far the worst one, imo

I never even see anyone play it

[marble crater]

It's great

[sterile steppe]

how come voidblast is better than?

[marble crater]

Voidblast has huge damage in a small area and can apply soulblaze in a much bigger area around it, so you can target big enemies while still having great horde clear. Also has amazin stagger and knock down every single melee elite in an area

[sterile steppe]

So Crystalline will, does that mean you can get to 100+% peril, and not blow up?

[marble crater]

You still blow up, you just don't go down, you still get the wound full of corruption

It's... not a great talent

[sterile steppe]

how do you see the crit chace of your ranged weapons? like the voidblast staff?

[paper harbor]

if you want see crit chance on weapon, there's mod called "show crits chance"

[sterile steppe]

Can voidblast staff ever use the True Aim talent? where your weakspot attacks, give you a 100% ranged crit hit?

[paper harbor]

yeah

if is can land headshot

wait

voidblast? it is the

ground explosive

not the explosive ball?

[marble crater]

Yeah

[sterile steppe]

Ground explode thing

[paper harbor]

it won't work

only your primary

attack

the small ball staff

[sterile steppe]

Also, the talent next to it. Surety of arms...does any of the Staff reload?

[marble crater]

No

[paper harbor]

staff reload is quell

different than firearm

[sterile steppe]

lol, ok. For the Talent Tranquility through slaughter

where your ranged crit hits, quell 4%.....the voidblast hits AOE. does it proc it multipel times?

[marble crater]

Voidblast with true aim works though, but it's mostly a meme build

[sterile steppe]

or just ONCE

[marble crater]

That's only for guns, Non-Warp ranged hits, staves are warp attacks

[sterile steppe]

Oh....thats annoying

so with Kinetic Deflection, does that mean I can now block ranged attacks? at the cost of Peril?

[marble crater]

No, if you want to block ranged attacks you need Deflector blessing on your force sword

But yes you will block with peril

[sterile steppe]

ok, and...it says when not critical peril, I assume crit peril, is 100%?

[marble crater]

97, iirc

[sterile steppe]

and if at 100%...and you get hit, will it still increase peril? or will it finally take stamina?

[marble crater]

You will stop using peril

[cunning plinth]

takes stamina subcritical i think. it cant blow you up

[sterile steppe]

Ah, well...then perfect, at 97% peril, and you block an attack, will it force you to get peril? or use stamina

[sterile steppe]

erm, you mean generates peril subcritical

Or else....that just means it is a block normally

[cunning plinth]

that being said, outside of "riot shield at home" with deflector ive yet to run into a scenario where i actually run out of blocking capability

and it doesnt blow you up

[marble crater]

If you are at critical peril you will block with stamina, is what they mean

[sterile steppe]

oh, do you use the block stamina reduction curios?

[cunning plinth]

no, i dont even use a stamina curio

deflector is very good and that blessing is just kinda on the path to disrupt desiny anyway

and, especially on a more up close and personal build where i might do a lot of blocking, i tent to if anything have trouble GETTING and staying at high peril where i might just block a bit just to fill my peril bar intentionally

[sterile steppe]

For Disrupt Destiny...the 2.5 duration of movespeed and stuff, does it increase to 10 seconds as well, with the Duration talent?

[marble crater]

No

[sterile steppe]

So, what gets to 10seconds with the Lingering influence talent?

[marble crater]

The actual DD stacks, for crit damage, damage and weakspot damage

[sterile steppe]

for scriers gaze, the lingering effects, does that include the base 10% dmg, the 20% crit chance? or....just the 1% stacking damage you build up in duration?

[marble crater]

Everything

[cunning plinth]

but yeah, id kinda advise against block efficiency on a DD (presumably also scriers) build, because, especially with the giga buffed crack of bone you dump SO much peril you kinda want a way to build it. the ideal psyker magically always sits at 97% peril generating and dumping it constntly

[sterile steppe]

I figured, no problems on that one

[cunning plinth]

on that note, i went back from aribites and just tried the buffed melee/gun psyker stuff out and (i mean i really teched into toughness and toughness regen, up to auric damnation this shit does not feel squishy at all, not even really compared to arbites

[sterile steppe]

I feel arbites is super OP

I am shitter...and I went in and just left clicked to win

like, holy crap, I went in with psyker

and............

[cunning plinth]

it is.... but it doesnt snowball as turbo hard as psyker i feel.

[sterile steppe]

BLART!

So, I am avoiding the arbites for the near time....till I feel I am much better

For Empyric Resove, the -40% peril geneartion, is that a good talent? the generation seems ssuper good if able to pair with Scriers gaze

[cunning plinth]

psyker has to build for it a litle but for example i have 200 toughness, as long as im fighing and killing i regenerate my entire toughness bar constantly, and i oneshot heavy attack bop in the head crushers with the greatsword.

basically, i have: castigator stance but for damage, i have similar amounts of DR

[cunning plinth]

no, huge trap

NEVER take that one

[sterile steppe]

What?!

[cunning plinth]

the thing about psyker is that you WANT to generate peril

peril isnt bad, peril is good

you want to generate and dump peril constantly as much as you can

[marble crater]

I will not stand for ER slander

If you want more peril, just attack more

[sterile steppe]

HAHA!

[paper harbor]

ER if i like spam a lot the balls

[paper harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-electro-angry-tantrum-gif-20077080

[marble crater]

ER on Voidblast and EK is great
ER on Inferno is bad, don't take it

[cunning plinth]

look at the top of your tree, and one with the warp. your DR (potentially your cleave), your baseline tougness regen comes from building and dumping peril, so you nerf your toughness regeneration twice, and having too much peril is basically never a thing, especially not if you go left keystone, since quellspeed is faster the more you have, and you dont blow up if you started a cast at 97 or below peril, so you press quell for like, half a second, and you can do a nother full channel and just cast forever

[paper harbor]

ER Inferno if i keep doing m2 flames and got boring

[cunning plinth]

the exception to ER is, like my man is pointing out, staves that turbo mega generate peril

the thing for example about inferno staff is that already baseline it generates peril so slowly that you might have trouble pressing venting shriek with 80% peril on CD

and, you can do a FULL channel of the inferno staff at 97 %, be over 100% for the entire cast, and dont blow up

so you full channel, tap quell for half a second, and you can do another full channel

[marble crater]

Takes some effort to blow up with inferno, same as with smite

[cunning plinth]

yeah, like, you WANT to generate MORE peril with inferno, not less

ER on voidblast cheese, or a very specific silly smite build are the only times you would want that talent, otherwise its actively harmful

[paper harbor]

I will ER and Smite

Smite em all

[cunning plinth]

the way you need to think about psyker is that, ACTUALLY, its a lot like zealot, especially the more agressive builds. your offense is your defense but i mean that literally as in, killing shit with warp attacks, generating and dumping peril are the things that keep you alive.

[cunning plinth]

pro gamer build ER smite empowered psionics, venting shriek

he smootiong

[sterile steppe]

Is dueling sword still OP?

and why was it OP

[marble crater]

Yes it still is

It wasn't nerfed yet, probably very soon though

[cunning plinth]

the finesse damage on the heavy attack stab scaled insane to the point that its oneshot headshotting crushers and maulers and ragers and its really fast and pretty long range, its pretty mobile, and the attack speed is so high that m1 spamm is even half decent horde clear

[paper harbor]

i heard fs gonna remechanic the dueling sword to parry mechanic

[cunning plinth]

HOWEVER, i personally dont even run the dueling sword when tryharding on psyker because i am a huge fan of the deimos with deflector

[marble crater]

I haven't used the DS for a few months now to prepare for the incoming nerf

Only used it once for the 20min zealot penance to help someone

[cunning plinth]

the deimos also has a really good anti elite attack pattern and is very mobile, but, as a psyker, getting shot at by stuff thats outside of the range of your warp shenanigans is one of the prime ways to randomly and suddenly eat shit. being able to just hold rightclick and dodge back into cover, and, as you are generating peril while blocking, even regenerating some toughness for your efforts is a big deal to me

one neat fun thing about psyker is that our damage is so fucking stupid if we want to, that its not really a big deal to "sacrifice" one blessing on your melee weapon to turn it into a riot shield

[proper osprey]

i just use knife

[cunning plinth]

actually, never came up for me before they hyper buffed crack of bone. if im at 5% peril and purge 10%, do i get the toughness for 10 or 5%

[marble crater]

Yeah, but you are a zealot

[cunning plinth]

i think its cool that psyker unironically has like what 4? viable melee? knife for fully ranged build as utility and mobility, dueling sword as "what if knife was op", deimos for "dueling sword with a riotshield", and the force greatsword

[proper osprey]

greatest compliment ever

[marble crater]

Surely just the 5%, right?

[cunning plinth]

its fatshark, you never know

[marble crater]

It wasn't a compliment

[proper osprey]

[cunning plinth]

psyker pushed by bulwarks and crushers? time to pop invis and run into the next 2 rooms and trigger a boss

jep

its knife zealot time

opening the scoreboard on a failed run to see that you won every category but because you were alive for 10 minutes after you left your team behind is ESSENTIAL for the zealot experience

[proper osprey]

your first problem is playing with a stealth user (they dont know how to play zealot fury is better)

[cunning plinth]

(cant blame them, its fun)

[upper sun]

😭 fatshark moment

[brazen light]

best way to get a voidblast staff as a noob?

[cunning plinth]

attempts to backstab a crusher, fucks it up somehow, dies, leaves lobby, replaced by bot, nothing changes.

[brazen light]

just armoury?

[cunning plinth]

its always just armoury

[proper osprey]

[cunning plinth]

dont buy a lot of them until you are lvl 30

[brazen light]

should i brunt or requisition

okay, im 23

i just see a lot of white ones

[cunning plinth]

if there is a decent requisition one, take that, but dont worry too much about it until you are 30

[brazen light]

so keep white til 30?

i seem to still be doing ok i guess, i accidentally hit the story thing but its still cool... really slow tho lol

[cunning plinth]

nah, just upgrade it a bit unless you are turbo broke its pretty cheap, but dont really worry about the stat roll until 30

is what i mean

put like idk, charge speed and brittle on it as i assume you dont have the rank4 fire blessing unlocked, and just use that and get mastery with it

[brazen light]

so better to upg to a higher rarity than to gamble for a higher rarity?

[marble crater]

Low stat staves are sad to play

[cunning plinth]

basically the way it works is that at 30 you will buy like, 10 until you hit all 80s and 60 in your dumpstat, then you instanty upgrade it to 500 and put yoru exact roll on it that you want and thats le fin

the time it takes to level a weapon to rank 19 for the 500power is MUCH longer than you need to aquire the materials to fully deck it out

so, level your staff and by the time you CAN put the build on it that you want, you will be able to afford it

[brazen light]

so hitting all 80s means like quell speed blast radius and charge rate right, then.... idk if 60 means damage or warp res dump stat lol

[cunning plinth]

or put diffrently, focus on leveling the weapon mastery and you get the rest as a byproduct, the only step that requires a little resource unless you get a bit lucky is gambling at the armoury for a white staff with the correct stat layout you want

(does voidblast even want to dump warp resistance? i think it does?, unsure what its dumpstat is)

[brazen light]

so how far do i upgrade my white, or should i keep it white and just wait

[cunning plinth]

unless the voidblast is special, you want all 80s and then 60 in your "dumpstat" that might be quell speed or warp resistance, im not sure

[marble crater]

It's warp resistance

[cunning plinth]

realistically you arent running out of resources as ive said, as playing games should give you more than you need on average, i just upgrade mine as far as i can go as i am leveling it, and then at the end i just get a well rolled one and repeat

[brazen light]

so wait is all 80s speed, blast radius, and charge rate then? nothin else but quell speed can get that high; unless the levels increases the max?

[paper harbor]

I use DS while wearing the witch hunter outfit to larp as Saltpyre

[cunning plinth]

no the max is static

[marble crater]

[cunning plinth]

so you want the max stats to be 80 everything and 60 warp resistance, BUT, dont worry about that until you are lvl 30

[ripe obsidian]

I have tried the tac axe now. I feel like I'm missing something. I kinda hate it.

[brazen light]

im streamin if its a bit easier to help me, when you talk about upgrading you're talking about consecrating right

[cunning plinth]

get a half decent staff off the store rn, upgrade it as nice as you can rn, and then level it to 19, by that time you should also be lvl 30 or so, and then you just buy white staffs off the store until you hit that distribution

[cunning plinth]

im talking about both, empowering and consecrating

and even putting the correct blessings on it

afaik putting blessings on weapons is very cheap? like a few thousand gold?

[cunning plinth]

ive seen enough, nerf psykinetic aura

[proper osprey]

[marble crater]

It was nerfed already

[brazen light]

what are the proper blessings?

[marble crater]

Blazing Spirit and Nexus for voidblast

Or less popular, rending shockwave and flurry

[brazen light]

dang i got blazing but not nexus

[cunning plinth]

nerf it again, that zealot used carge way too often, nerf CD, nerf psikinetics aura

you will get it by leveling the mastery eventually anyway

[zinc comet]

You can change blessings

[brazen light]

oh nice i just saw that

rebless lol

[cunning plinth]

basically, every aspect of your weapon is fully customizable EXCEPT the max stat rolls

maybe what i said makes more sense now

[brazen light]

not available?

do i have to roll it first

[cunning plinth]

no

hit escape

eeeh

I i mean

go to mastery

[zinc comet]

Open your character screen and navigate to the mastery screen

[brazen light]

im streaming on twitch if its easier to see whats going on

[cunning plinth]

thats where you unlock perks

[marble crater]

Remove zealot from the game, we have Arbites now

[brazen light]

okay

[zinc comet]

Under the mastery screen you’ll see all the different weapons your class has access to, those are how you get blessings

[cunning plinth]

when i specced into shield charge for the first time i had a genuine chuckle

[zinc comet]

(And other minor things that aren’t that important to this current discussion)

[cunning plinth]

yeah, zealot charge on "also basically no CD" bit it knocks down ragers and crusers

alright

[brazen light]

i put level 1 into both, but it says level 2 is locked

[cunning plinth]

its crazy looking at the zealot spec tree and the arbites tree side by side and seeing the zealot nodes all be like, 5%, and arbites nodes are just 10 for no reason

[cunning plinth]

yeah, as you play, you level up weapons, if you are lvl 23 you should have some masteries in other weapons for example

[brazen light]

oh sacrifice for mastery?

[cunning plinth]

nono

just play

you get experience on them by just playing

check the weapons you were using up to now

[marble crater]

Vet, but same idea

[brazen light]

i wish i could link pictures

[cunning plinth]

also, on the left side of the mastery thingy, there is a skull, it basically tells you how many pojnts you need to spend before the next rank unlocks, they dont let you put your first 8 mastery points into rank4 of the 2 blessings you want D:

unfortunatly you have to unlock most of it^^

[zinc comet]

The skull on the left will fill up to unlock the next levels

[cunning plinth]

see that big skull over the "mastery points"

[zinc comet]

When you fully max a weapon out at level 20 you’ll have all blessings at level 4

[cunning plinth]

if you fill the circle around the skill by unlocking new blessings on the weapon with mastery points, it unlocks a new level of mastery points. aka, just spend your mastery points and play with the weapon and you relatively quickly unlock every blessing and the ability to empower the weapon up to power 500

which is why i said that eventually the only thing you care about is the max stat roll which is not worth going for before you are lvl 30

[brazen light]

wheres charge speed and brittle on the perks? im assuming thats what youre talkin about, and na i dont have tier 4 enchants unlocked yet

[potent echo]

Blessing

[cunning plinth]

yeah, tier 4 enchants is someting you get at like mastery 15+ ish iirc. but that doesnt take long honestly.

[potent echo]

Brittle shockwave and warp flurry

[zinc comet]

But also, since this is just your leveling weapon that you don’t really care about

You can literally just not worry about it at all

Use what you have

Worry about making the perfect weapon later

[potent echo]

You will be throwing away levelling weapons

Just play whatever

[brazen light]

can you undo mastery point putting into thing

[potent echo]

No you cannot
