btw if you go that route go into your mod options and disable all the displays for the base scoreboard
I went Power di
also i just use vortex for this
Oh, I did manual
i mean vortex sucks for something rly involved like skyrim/witcher or other uncooperative games but its never given me any problems for darktide
there's a plugin to update it
there's also @summer prairie fix that is a little different
has blitz as a category
We did good wins
@tulip kettle We did just manage to basically win holding W for most of it unless just perma stopped by hordes
so it was doable back to back to back
Yeah for you, red must be v.scary
You have little control on killing raging carapace
So no ETA on when it will die
Must scurry
Must rat
But no quite pleased with those games, even the lossesd
One day I will learn not to revive or look around while reviving 🙏
hard lessons to learn tbh
There's something addicting to getting a res just in time
I'm thinking you should try running EK shriek more(?)
I think it fits your playstyle
Plus, you like it
Only issue is less EE so more little gunners go pew :(
It's easier to me more aggressive with EK for me.
I can get decent EE uptime if I LMB spam and hit something
my aim is sus
but if not red, I will suppress them
might feck up other people's aim tho
I guess purple is the other factor since inferno gets more value out of it
purple is def SB and purg damage farming
red I thing is when purg really gains traction too
that's being said, shriek spam does a good amount of damage even with EK struggling a bit
If CC-able, I can keep it up on the target I want because it's not a hard tossed on the floor stagger
I'm gonna say it
More people need to learn to play with telekine wall, instead of bubble
It's absurdly strong for controlling the flow of specials, and it's way more mobile into ranged units
and not tall enough for ogryns 
if I can't be assed with mutant train or I want to BB max, x2 wall is nice sometimes
I'm using it mainly to defend backline from specials
If I take KF with it, the random trapper just killing itself will never not be funny
Pretty sure the electrocuted DoT doesn't proc KF
It's not considered warp nor non-warp damage.
and does proc on kill or attack talents in general
Btw does matchmaking prioritize mixed classes?
Not even shortgryns.
No clue tbh. I know there is something that tries to prioritized similar-ish levels together
I’m seeing more psykers than ever playing other classes which is interesting
So a level 500 isn't usually teamed up with 3 level 17s
with arby out
hmm
interesting
Does the game track past 30?
I can confirm it does
KF triggers on any form of damage, including DoT
Maybe people are like "how fragile can psyker be"?
except electroction from wall
Show. Is a new change then.
yes
Wew that makes it worse when folks act up in aurics 😭
idk bro u might have it backwards. on ogryn im getting fresh 30s who i presume are playing with their feet
On second thought, distinct possibility the electric DoT getting stacked multiple times may have just killed on its own lol
"ish" is the qualifier
Very well could be and is still funny
I just took my antipsychotics though so I shall test in the morning lol
You'll be the first to know, my androgynous friend
🫡
Also, while I'm awake I feel like I need to spread this info
Since walls always stagger away from themselves, putting it diagonally against map geometry will infinitely stagger a trapper to death
Or any other special, barring dogs and mutants

landmine
After playing loads of Psyker and Arbiter in the last few weeks, I am actually getting increasingly frustrated at the squishiness of Psyker as compared with Ogryn or Arbiter.
When they both do equal or more damage
Also, denying spawn doors is peak
I mean, ping ponging between vet and arby is no diff.
That's truly an annoying part. The damage PLUS the safety and survivability.
Burster chilling in there and you don't have explosive damage to pierce the door? Just put the wall there and it literally cannot leave for 17.5 seconds
Psyker and Arbiter really do not compare in terms of damage output
One dies if shout is on CD and low on 'nades. The other is mini oggy and dog helps.
Even not accounting for the obviously broken shit with infinite cleave sources from Voidblast and Inferno staff
Gun Psyker kinda runs circles around everybody else in terms of raw damage output
Almost makes you forget how much ammo it eats compared to staves lol
My sword does not take ammo
Based
Ya. I think you are delusional if you think psyker and arby do same dmg. I have now played with quite a few good arbys. Never beat me. If anything it may be in one category and I smoke them in the others
without their god doggos arbys are nothing
this class is the ultimate carry power in the universe
observe
granted the team wiped before halfway, that game just now coulda been another 3mil 😒
I'm playing rending trauma to make the Arby damage even more stupid than it already is
It's quite fun
Live footage of blaze away purgatus being broken beyond reason
You're shitting out this much damage and still can't keep them alive? For shame, for shame
I consistently have more damage than Psykers as Arbiter, and I consistently have lower damage than Arbiters as Psyker in H40, at least using Trauma or Purgatus. Get two Arbiters or an Arbiter and an Ogryn, and unless it's Purple, they kill everything before Soulblaze can do much work. There are exceptions, but it's 50/50 at best.
@hearty wolf and @analog agate should fight for top damage. I'd run around and watch. 
if you are just using inferno and running a bubble, dps melee can actually easily out damage you
but if you add in vent, your damage goes to infinite, assuming you know what you are doing
I am too distrusting to run shriek in Havoc with randoms
I ONLY run shriek with randoms, since I can't derank 😏
Love that energy tbh. 
I can try. But it might go poorly.
I run Venting because I see too many arby belittling psyker since the update.
we both shriek and PC
global 31 all of the time
wildfire fights
wait, I dropped wild fire EE
nevermind
This is so based
Why not? You have nothing to lose and no one player should be responsible for group defense
I’m fully in favor of forced culture change
Malicious compliance: use walls instead of bubble with randoms
They cannot tell the difference until you press F
The derank system still being a thing tho, makes throwing games for those still grinding it kinda poopie
Then stop throwing 
Don't only put 1 point into shield to cause confusion. I have totally never done this.
It gives the same energy as taking off the fall damage reduction upgrade on DRG Engineer's platform gun
"Surely the specials will get stopped by the wall."
"AAAAHHHHHHHhhhh!!!"
Of note, enemies in spawn doors and sprinting hounds have enough stagger resistance to ignore walls
Muties sometimes don't get staggered back enough and just run through.
Why do you say this?
Yee, same concept
Saying what I've seen.
If you place it laterally to the mutant though, it'll get continuously staggered
It's tricky to do in a pinch, but quite funny to pull off
I mean, if you have it unlocked is like free anyway in DRG.
what perk do i get for fgs
Cara and unyielding
Yes.
alr\
@plucky flax Wat. It is true. You need a mod to know if the Engie is a troll or not. The platform gun node for it is literally the only one of that level.
Pls no flame.
Karien bullying Agent again.
also why not falk
flak
isnt the swipe is better at like
crowd clearing no ?
and i have bolt pistol to clear up bigger target
kills flak fine
Needs cara and unyielding to better take down crushers, bulwarks, reapers, and monsters
because we are rejects 😭
WDYM? You are said UnsanctionedPsyker. 
You're tripping.
I am not, stop trying to gaslight me. 

Psyker clothes options are funny af
You’re made of glass but dressed like a JV football team on emo night
The 🇻🇳 moment
Of 40k
Dripless consider a poverty is not good mindset
Have 25 million Ordo docket is not make you look poverty

I saw a vet cosmetics that was red with candles and I definitely thought it was a zealot
There was an everyone is a Zealot themed one.
We winnn
win
What are you winning?
idk
Won the lottery of Hogwarts
3 something something I don't fucking care and 1 passage to Hogwarts

Looking at a Mourningstar build, guy has this Purgatus staff with an H40 tag.
I have played with them. They are not good.
Sry was me
Gunker.
I will play if you want another people.
person?
The climax of "Wizards" by Ralph Bakshi: how the Harry Potter series SHOULD have ended (kidding) ... really, just good ironic fun and a twist that one would not expect in a fantasy movie.
teammate
I have no idea what I'm doing

Also this guy is running +wound curios on psyker
It's a build of fascinating choices

Tell me siblings, do I pass the check?
make me want to do random builds

I want to try Shriek+Purgatus in high havoc, but I also don't want to deal with randoms. >:(
@hearty wolf do you exist?
WOW random build really just pushed EK LMB onto me
all stam curios
I'll at least upgrade what I can
You don't wanna play with me then. Though I refuse to play my psyker anyway.
Build alone doesn't mean bad.
Doing 1/3 the damage of anyone else in the game and dying like 4x does

😭
Sry was me
I was testing this bubble knight build some unsanctioned guy pushed but I sucked.
You didn't use enough cheats
Tru dd needs to be wall hax like arby eo
Was trying to do a a solo thing and a silent crusher overheaded me in the dark.
classic

Have you seen my damage? Even puppo outdamages me.
Sad
Just play wall and let puppo run rampant.
Karien is not UnsanctionedPsyker
I don't even touch my psyker unless I'm desperate for melkbux for gambling curios.

I thought you already knew???
Is that why you give people your unhinged builds? So that someone plays them at least?
Well, I gave it with warnings on how... weird they are.
Unless is vet builds. Those are what I use.

Did Karien tell you yet that I am good and you unblocked me?
No she thinks youre bottom barrel uprising player

I went back to sleep
I'm half wakey
Psyker bros opinion on Warp resistance on swords when using Sciers Gaze?
Warp res is the dump stat for every psyker weapon except for voidstrike, gaze or no gaze makes no difference
She's fujoshing out
I'm a himejoshi, it's not a secret.
Doesn't matter if you have crack of the bone
it only affects your weapon special
Perhaps
Recon gaze psyker is really fun in aurics though 
Fun or streetcred, choose 
Play h40 for streetcred
or play more fun builds that work in auric
Okay now you are just obtuse on purpose
I don't know why you two started talking about not being able to play specific builds
nothing to do with what she said
and auric isn't an alternative to most h40 players
It's simple, Guihelbie made a joke about fun or streetcred, I rewrote it because I thought they didn't understand, and now here we are
fun or no dt more like
so no auric
Sut MEAN

@timber parcel come back for peace offerings 😭
At the end of the day, is just misunderstanding
H40 can be played with fun builds or crack head play styles
I heard h40 is impossible
Like me aggroing every armour pack in LoS so I hear funny boot sounds
You can use cheat engine
Karien must use it because she too good
I shouldn’t have distinguished the mode I played, it was mean and condescending
And had no bearing on the conversation
Yeah I'll try to find more cheats.
You're overreacting, dw
If you had to worry about that, you'd be stepping on eggshells just for playing the game in the way you enjoy
Also the definition of fun changes in context to what game mode you're playing
Have you tried servo skull and dog at the same time yet?
You can play solo with an entire team
How do you mean? I have servo skull ye
@timber parcel yeah without its kinda ass
I thought you stopped using it because of performance or something 
Why can you see my deleted stuff
😎
And it’s weird you responded to something after I deleted it
dont worry about it
3rd party discord client
Havoc does reward team play (read: punish no team play). I have my own reasons to dislike it, but I shouldn't have implied you can't have fun in h40 😔
Siblings havoc 40 this, havoc 40 that
But have you considered
That we should play a havoc 40
Rn
Anyway, I apologize for saying you are being obtuse on purpose @timber parcel this is discord so you never know 
I’m just chatting as I fall asleep
I am not good with sarcasm I am very direct and literal
I don’t know a lot of lingo

No
She already apologized for something that didn't need apologizing, now she can be mean for free one time

I don’t wanna be mean
Fuck smite players, they're dog shit
So now I can be mean one extra time
@marble crater fuck a youa
In another discord we also have someone who doesn't understand sarcasm, he called himself "Name (doesn't understand sarcasm)" it helps 
I FEEL that xd
I had a friend who I had to teach sarcasm
they also speak in the most monotone, dead pan voice
I mean I get it, I just don’t know if I’m right
So I don’t want to risk it
It also seems embarrassing to add that to my name
@deft stump is the friend you?
That's the fault of written text, unless it's really obvious it's hard to tell sometimes
I also just didn’t understand what the street cred was
I thought like a white dc w/ 1 mil dmg in h40 was street cred
I used it again its too op. Like that section of dark communion just before mid event in the tunnel. Its just pitch black
Cheater 

Use emojis 😩 😩

No
Probably would be yes
Oh Karien can write after all
No. But someone tried teaching me things like that before. Impossible task tbh.
Don't shoot mj wtf
He's got it
Yeah tell me about it, I felt like losing braincells.
But after a year or two
they're better than me at it
(or is that sarcasm 🤔 )
Are people on reddit just making up random shitty stories for clout now?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/DHfVUTsd6h
This 50% or literally just 50 HP
Who doesn’t tbh
Saw that earlier, it was a misunderstanding, see the pinned comment
50%
50%
Fat Shark wording strikes again
Double walls kinetic flayer empowered psionics red stim
This reads like the Ryan gosling copypasta 
this guy in havoc 40 runs voidstrike, smite, sg, ep
I tried to join but rejected, alas
I'm free to run some
Your best friend isn't left handed, sorry buddy you ain't joining my party 
I mean, I can guess badly.
I mean, some ppl think is pointless since they don't do real damage anyway.
Pls no flame me. 
I didn't do anything to you.
Patpat. Is okay. I probably need to sleep more. Feels like I just periled, and I'm not even a psyker.
Is 7pm.
Better than your normal shitty sleeping hour.
Have… you ever read r/relationships or r/AmITheAsshole? People make shit up all the time
Look, I just drop at that point. Though with chest hurting as well... bleah.
I see some posts sometimes on my reddit feed and I just eyes roll.
Maybe ppl can make money from reddit clouts or something.
Dunno why they make up random shitty stories on internet.
Maybe you can sell reddit account with high karma
but if so they wouldn't be posting on niche reddit like darktide, guy is in it for the passion
Damn bro took all the EO nodes but not the cdr one.
Cos upvotes and clout.
Why are you flaming me?
no
Okay someone got an already in havoc deployment bug.
Sorry
2 questions on the greatsword,
Can the special slash do headshots? And does it actually matter if you release it from a heavy attack or a light attack?
No, no
technically you do more damage if you cleave with the physical part of your heavy swing but it's never worth the extra time
And i take it the slash counts as warp damage so its affected by all the talents that buff that?
yes
it is a warp ranged attack yes
It's worth a heavy if you are swinging into a group of armor
yeah but the wave itself isnt affected right same damage either way?
Yeap
actually the melee swing portion only the first target gets the full damage
well you will be staggering stuff at least
ok its not worth to do the heavy the damage of the cleave drops immediately after one target
oh i tried to spawn a friend dog in psyk and it crashed immediately 

always have
was easier than i was expecting tbh
a good brain burst build can chunk a monstrosity like crazy
you do pretty good burst damage with EP bb vs weakened monsters
Probably comes from people focusing the damn monstrosity for once and then being surprised they do actual damage
so it may seem like your overall dps is good since they die so fast when someone else is targeting them
Are you saying they are worse than me?
Maybe on par. Too vocal is annoying af.
Well, I guess I just randomly panic instead of that.
Especially when they suck ass I can't take it seriously.
Got yelled at for going to kill gunners since none of them wanna do anything about it. They could had came with me to the bubble and help clear them out faster.
Stop having fun and playing the mission
Tru let's hide and wait 10 minutes for the dog to clear each shooter one by one.

I think they just were worried for you
1 is a console player
the other is h33
I'm personally a big fan of that aggression

he just wanted a hug
Has anyone done the malleus monstronom penance?
yeah
Well I just wanted to know if anyone was available to help me get it
what level are you?
30
do you have a build ready?
Yeah
Rude
I've just got no friends to do it in a private match with
Alright
if you inject a red/blue stim put down two walls then start brainbursting you can kill it off in very little time
now you can invite me to a strike team with the code in my name then going escape social find player
Okay
Invited
HERESY
man heresy has better spawns than auric now
Thank you @upper sun
no problem
that's the "kill a monstrosity with only BB" penance right?
The joke is you just unequip it to troll
I did not think I would need to explain this
Why, need a mod to not get screwed over.
The one that colours platforms based on what they have.
this was great to watch 🙂 i think one of the biggest differences in havoc teams is response to mass gunners and shooters
i think theres nothing wrong, and its often the right thing to do, to back up round a corner and bait the gunners close enough to push
but then you have to actually push them!
I think elite gunners and scab shooters just hold their position and keep shooting. Only the stalker guys come closer.
watching an ogryn try to sniper duel with 20 gunners
it depends on the location
they do push you and come closer
but sometimes not in events

and sometimes not if you peek them
and the reaper AI is ruthless and will push you until its on top of you
Local gamer does not understand trolling
More at 11
from what they seem to do to me when they make it my corpse
im not sure if its hungry or horny.
How do you see post game stats?
can only be done with a mod
Thx
I'm not sure why, but FS didn't add scoreboard into Darktide
It's toxic.
I disagree
I'll be the first to admit, scoreboard enables toxicity
Still, nice for gauging how people play
So you're telling me toxicity doesn't exist currently?
a post game scoreboard is just information, by the time they can see the performance you're already gone
Like if they run Deimos, but end up with 68 headshots and do nothing but smite then blame the team for not protecting them when you have the strongest single target stagger in the game
Yes I am still salty about that
No no, the scoreboard isn't toxic in and of itself
But it can enable toxic people to be more toxic
Right, but by the time they see it the match is over. you're gone.
what blessings for the voidblast staff?
second pin has a great breakdown by build
You can on the mod
but FS did not need to enable that
FS could havejust made it VT2 scoreboard.
Generally speaking, you have pure crit, rending, and blazing
Nexus/Flurry
Rending/Flurry
Nexus/Blazing Spirit
I hate that they renamed the staves, I still get confused
Alternatively you can use nexus/rending for higher damage, but it's a bit slower
Blazing/Rending is also a solid setup, but you need to build it differently to actually give yourself crit (or just rely on true aim or Scrier's)
||sorgy for wall of text||
Dude same
I get why they renamed Surge to Electrokinetic, but the rest are just superfluous
voidblast is the worst change imo
same
Less characters to type
you can open the scoreboard anytime in game
like, in every game ever including this one
Can someone recommend me a build that uses Assail, Bubble and Warp Siphon?
No inferno or DS
It wouldn't stop people from judging you. It also makes some very specialized build less appealing because of they focus more on something more and the scoreboard doesn't cover as much.
Like the stealth builds can make some of the objective trivial, but using them is a big cut in damage output.
Or defensive output
when i do a havoc 40 and 2 players have like 1.2 mil dmg, the psyker has 2 mil, and zealot has 750k
i know the zealot pulled their weight
You do, I do, but it doesn't mean everyone else do.
Man, I forgot how satisfying the surge staff felt to use. Too bad I still don’t like most anything else Psyker has 😭
Y’all think it would be an alright build to do Surge staff, Saul and smite?
Or nah
saul?
Shock maul
oh jesus
I looove shock maul
Yeah I know smyker 😭
i mean
if you take skullcrusher and just follow the arbs around
they might enjoy it
Put charged strike on it...
not sure you would so miuch
If you want to commit, commit!
Oh word
yes do this 🙂
make sure you take all 3 smite nodes in fact
why do you want warp siphon btw?
Y’all are enabling bad choices, I fear.
why not just go all in and take EP?
Charged strike is so funny.
You started it and asked for more... we are just helping you out.
like yeah commit to the bit
it wont be good or likely even fun
but you sure will shoch everything
Hey I appreciate it but I don’t know what I’m asking for here lol
I don’t play Psyker
psyker is the class that doesnt really get fun until you get good at it
and it takes a lot longer to get good at it than other classes
so what tends to happen
Ah Shword
is newer psykers find the thing that kind of works for them when learning and feels really good
usually smite
I played Psyker only when I first started playing when the game came out. Now I really only play Ogryn, and it’s been that way for quite some time
Getting good at Arb is harder because the skill floor is basically in the ceiling 🤔
i just disagree on so many levels
Getting good at arb just requires buying arb
You're literally proving my point
Don't need to call me out like that
im confused
if the floor is in the ceiling
that would mean its really hard to do well with it
or i dont understand
my mate can't
he will go down on anything
No
The ceiling is also in the floor
Your mate might need a lobotomy
It means that you already do well by default
i know
Ay fucking yo
o7
Stop people from judging you? Brother, they don't need a scoreboard for that.
But yes the skill disparity on psyker is insane. Even people who have played psyker for a long time have massively wide ranging skill
Even uprising?
You've been here for a while, I feel like I know your name.
I might give it another go
i have been here a very long time XD
he struggles with pushing and dodging
Same, I just take long breaks haha.
I forget when I joined, during one of the betas
plays without headphones so he can't survive bursters or trappers...
its one of the only fun crossplay games we have, he's on console
ya some of them who have thousands of hours still die to a poxwalker melee sometimes 🙂
we both love 40k
Oh. But controller is not the issue.
couldnt be me
controller / console performance is not the entire issue, no.
I think you need to beat into him that Alt 1 is best.
And using left bumper is godly.
Yes.
alt 1? Is that a control scheme for controller?
Darktide on controller sounds miserable as fuck
Yes.
Psykers are getting exposed now without yellow toughness in havoc.
But nowadays you can just plug an earbud into the controller and issue solved, no? I never had a modern console but I have a DS4 and it has working sound if I plug an earbud in
yeah, bad synergy with arbs
yes but we voice chat over discord. one competes with the other
tbh i think the biggest exposeure for me right now is failed inputs
Most arbys just suck balls though they can survive a little bit but do no damage
Just run both through, lul.
Not without op dog bleed.
and arb is also always racing for elite / specialist kills. which they can kill easier than vet w/ railgun using shotgun
how's this for a build? with force sword\gs and recon(?)
every single game im getting ability wont cast until i press it 6 times
Gamers, does anyone know the direct amount of HP damage a poxburster does on Havoc 40?
Try guarantee ability mod
or wont swap weapon and i end up charging my staff a lil bit then getting hit
Might help
I would take dd but sure if you want more bubbles
Seriously, ask @marble crater as well. We both know.
i know its enough to one shot you on psyker if you have no toughness
Why left keystone?
bubble cdr
DD is way more dmg
GuaranteeWeaponSwap also exists
Also also, try lowering your steam pings per minute. Setting it too high can cause desync
It will probably work for everything that's not havoc, but it could be much better, imo. Talents and weapons don't really work together well, imo
steam pings per minute? thanks, and how
Wait tell me about this
Should be under "in-game" settings for Steam
Yes Alternative 1 layout is best 
I do want a Havoc build, which is why I thought CDR for bubble would be good
for havoc this is not really good honestly
your dmg is just too low
Which error code do you get when you DC?
Does anyone have a havoc 40 melee psyker build
Make sure he sets always dodge and dodge while standing as well.
you are basically a bubble bot
2014 and 2001
https://youtu.be/rGQAIyS4LWc you can copy this from some UnsanctionedPsyker
Reject inferno. Embrace bubble knight! Shoutout to this great team every one played so well.

00:00 Build
00:50 Game Starts
i run bubble knight in havoc 40 with my own changes to the tree
You’re essentially wasting the team’s ammo with that wet noodle build
I'm not totally sure but I think both of those are server-client desync related
but only if we have a flamer zealot or another psyker
Yeah it's just FartShart server.

Yes, BUT
I keep it at 3000 now anyway.
Those seem to be caused specifically by too many local input pings
how does yours look?
Don't play bubble knight into pus skin.

Your assails don't do any damage same with the fgs special. 
Or recon either
That modifier is just rip psyker. You either play trauma or burga and you will enjoy those 2 builds only.
Lowkey I think the best usage of Assail is staggering ranged enemies
rip
At least into pus hardened
Assail is just added dps with weaving it in your attacks
@deft stump maybe we need a controller settings pin 
i have a few things because im bad
a better player wouldnt take them
Bubble squire 
and yes assail is mainly for generating peril, killing shooters and staggering ragers etc
and yeah the build is pretty good into pink because youre very good at focussing the pink guys
but very bad into pus skin
True. Cos most don't even know...
Trauma or purg
and dont run trauma either if its also toll

i love how well havoc encourages a variety of builds
Ideally your team should round out your weaknesses
However the issue is getting randos that are good at what their build is efficient at 
and who recognise that each player has a broad role to fill
And staying together
and not trying to do someone elses role instead of their own
if your ogryn is running around hunting specials
its just not gonna go well
Or just do everything yourself
then the director punishes you and kills you
xd
I've been on a win spree lately being just absurdly aggressive but it really requires being awake
and sometimes you just need to sacrifice a teammate
This is randoms
Assail is so dog shit in auric, how does it do in havoc 40
Also did it with an ogryn and 2 psykers but the 2 psykers so solid
Literally takes 3 shards to kill a gunner in auric
They, too, were inflicted with the W disease
yes assail sucks, pls buff 🥺
What’s the new maps again
i can help tank this with one trick (joining ur party)
Then pus or crusher/bulwark horde comes and you’re like
that's what the melee or gun is for
fair point
maybe assail should just treat carapace like flak
and pen bulwark shields
that should bring it up to snuff with the other blitzes
I like protecting my baby psykers :)
Psyker blitzes needs a rework tbf
In general
jokes aside i think assail's fine the way it's designed
but smite and BB could use some looking at
Just needs some adjustment
I think it's op in auric. Use it with dd for more damage.
nah it's shit bro, does nothing to carapace 😭
Tru 
They should make that rending buff innate.
Make assails great again like patch 13.
Just spam assails only.
through the powers of the warp, convert all enemy carapace into flak armor
it won't be that bad if I take trauma into final toll, surely?
just won't staggerlock everything
I really don't want to use inferno
Blazing Trauma might accidentally trigger FT
Might want to go rending Trauma
Because at least you can have more control
some people keep claiming execution order only works for the dog currently, surely not true
What is dd, I was recommended to not use the piercing perk but that seems like a lot of its damage is from that in high intensity
Disrupt Destiny, right keystone
the issue is
your trauma will not kill anything big
it will just make it mad
and then you cant knock it down
so when theres a blob of 30 ogryn enemies in every room
this becomes a problem very quickly
If they can't provide video proof, I would not believe them.
didn't kitefin acknowledge the issue
I know but unclear what that refers to
I wonder what they will break this time!
This is the entire post, so I guess refers to all of the above 
Telesto
If he shares all his secrets he will no longer be top 1% as others get better too
I agree with this
BB is fine, but smite needs reworking
and the surge staff needs adjusting
what do you dump stat on the electrokinetic force staff
BB needs something I feel, as people are only picking it for KF passive a lot of the time 
Warp res
cheers
I’m new to the game and just picked psyker does anyone have a rough leveling guide for it, I’m level 21
I’m lowkey getting a little cooked on heresy
I would recommend something like this while leveling #psyker-class message as staves aren't great without stats and full builds
The leveling guide is use Assail
@plucky flax gender check, I thought you were a she
But at 21 you can start to look at the pins to get an idea for later builds
More importantly, Assail doesn't path to Psykinetic's Aura, and Smite has a strong stigma
Looking at the new ogryn and arby trees just makes me want reworks for the other 3 classes
What weapons do you recommend or is assail pretty much the main thing you use
A gun and melee you like, but mainly assail 
Inferno staff doesn't feel as bad to use with lower stats, but feels bad to use in lower difficulties because of the lower density of enemies, if you don't mind you can also try that
Voidblast and Elektro both generate too much peril to make using them fun just yet and voidstrike is... we don't talk about voidstrike 
Is gear score on weapons a big deal? I have a 200 yellow inferno staff and a 300 yellow void strike
It determines the max stats you can have, so yeah
Arbites is very fun and strong, but also very easy to play and do well with, because the class is just that strong
Maybe not the best class to learn the game with 
Or maybe it is the best to learn the fundamentals, as long as you are fine with getting punished on other classes for doing the same things you can shrug off on arbites
Last vet game I did with 3 arbites in hi int aurics
As long as you get the fundamentals down of melee, blocking and pushing, dodges, you can do well with most builds.
But havoc does have some clear outlier builds so.
A vet 
BB is not fine
I went back to psyker and vet just to make sure playing Arbites didn’t dull my game sense 
💀
500 years of casting and can't even dish out good damage
Agreed
can db flechette WS vet actually reach purg levels of dmg?
A good vet is better utility
shout is just much lower CD than book
in havoc i mean
and plasma gun and gold tag fix problems
against pink its so ez for vet to just pick out the pink guys with gold tag and plasma
then you spam shout every 15 seconds on top of that
its actually pretty good
meanwhile zel is like
oh i dont have my book up
and either, im playing flamer and so am redundant to psykers inferno
or im playing bolter and theres no boss alive
so right now i just run around stabbing trash i guess
Shout works better too with psy aura
Sup?
So apparently the crit dodge on purgatus was a bug and was fixed. Is it still worth taking that node or do I invest in something else?
I mean, it is
what's wrong with BB?
if anything, I'd just make it do a % of the enemy's max health or a flat damage, whichever is more
Wdym
But hey, you can go EP for faster casting 
Doesn't even 1 shot pox hounds at low peril
||I’m trolling||
Apparently, the Purgatus flame DOT ticks weren’t meant to be able to crit. These crits were causing the dodge crit node to proc pretty much all the time, making you mostly impervious to gunshots. This has supposedly been fixed now, and so you don’t get the free crit dodges anymore.
Oooookay, so that means… still able to get free dodges with purgatus?
with the right build, you're getting tons of crits constantly with purge anyways
Which is what I’m trying to do.
it's the attack that spawns the puff of warpfire that crits
so yes, you'll still be critting constantly
EE is a must for all psyker builds
As someone newer to the game I’m not exactly ashamed to use the meta while I get used to and adjust to how this game plays
Also, a long running question I’ve had that never actually got answered whenever I asked it - do headshots count as crits? I always assumed not, since you can headshot and crit at the same time, but I wanted to ask anyway
Doesn't automatically count as crits
if you inspect weapon attack profiles, you'll see both weakspot and crit damage numbers
So headshots are very much separate to crits
as well as both combined
Gotcher
weakspot = aiming
You have
Body
Weakspot
Critical Body
Critical Weakspot
crit = random chance per attack
Yep, so crits are pretty much bog standard RPG crit chance stuff
yep
Nice to play a game where crit fishing is actually a good strategy lol
I mean, any game where you can crit, that becomes the "big strategy"
Darktide doesn't have complex damage calculations like, say, Diablo
you want to crit when you can, and you want to hit weakspots when you can
past that, ensuring your weapon is built to maximize its effectiveness on the important armor types, and using your weapon effectively in-game, is the way to more effective play
Darktide has a surprisingly high skill ceiling
classes like the arbites hides that from new players
arbites is almost too good
Wonder if and when we will see any nerfs to arbites, since it's a paid class 
Last game I optimised was BG3 and in that game crit fishing is ass because spells like Hold Person guarantee crits.
I'm sure we will, but not for a few more months
maybe when FartShack gets a chance to work again next spring
they've worked awfully hard and have earned their bi-annual month vacation

checks Fatshark history
Yeah
I'm not buying it
Because Arby's is mid
Their whole stagger suppression focus
Is out done by a single staff
Fatshark fixed the god doggo blister on the left leg, by sawing off the whole leg
left side keystone passives disabled
And their single target damage isn't as good
Except the dog
The dog is good
Other than that
Mid class
honestly should have just kept the god dog, it was funny
Yes yes. A mid class that’s like a mini ogryn
Cos multiple dodges.
Yeah, I can get higher numbers on scoreboard with Ogryn than anything else. Particularly "Damage taken" and "Times killed"
Still worse dodges in the game
That's my experience. I feel like I just stay in place when I try to dodge
💀
That’s more Patty cake than I needed to see today
“Bad dodge” in psyker chat
play tacaxe
the distance is the same size, what's dodging aren't the same size 😏
not that you have to dodge anything when your lights stagger all enemies
That is true.
Push bonk bonk push bonk bonk.
Bullying 10 crushers in mortis fun.

it really isn't
so what?
man, you are really downplaying how arbites takes advantage of stagger mechanic better than all the other classes
By a single staff
it's not about how many enemies can be staggered at once
it's how the arbites can make things count as staggered where they otherwise wouldn't be
C'mon you know what the best stagger is
and for a set time frame that you can immediately take full advantage of
arbi is going to top scoreboards while also staggering yeah
No need to go through 5 billions buff against staggered
more importantly, the arbites "staggering" doesn't make enemies harder for others to get weakspot hits in
nah, you're talking like you haven't actually played arbites
He didn’t buy it
it's a whole different thing from voidblast
So that’s true
then you're insisting on ensuring your opinion is invalid and unsupportable
Not worth 40
40??
Sorry but I'm winning times killed.
it's $10
😭
💀
Yeah
it's fun
40
I can't help your regional pricing situation
the burgers don't last as long, though
But they aren't mid
but I'm not going to argue your economic priorities

arby stagger has one thing no class has, it can put stagger, and therefore skullcrusher, on bosses 😌
80% team dmg buff onto boss
I was playing with crusher for about 4 days on arbites
before I went back to arbites shock maul
asm has better move set, more mobility
no other class can put skullcrusher on boss I don't think
not effectively and consistently, no
