That's not a brag or flex staregryn go to bed

It's funny because I fucking hate IEMs

hearty wolf
#

Feels like yesterday you were doing D&D

#

Enjoyy

ripe obsidian
#

Yesterday I was doing nothing. :D

hearty wolf
#

I think I decided to sleep at 2am

#

Which is rather sensible for me

#

I just did an hour of overtime too so

#

Am redi

That sounds worse than my insomnia

random thunder

is it worth building crit with inferno staff and perfect timing ?

fellas

#

what yall use for bolt pistol

wispy bay
#

Not very good on psyker. Anyhow, the typical blessing trait.

deft stump
#

Lethal prox sucks on psyker though.

marble crater
#

I also suck on psyker and still play, so lethal prox can be used loregryn

@hearty wolf If you want to try gaming, we can.

hearty wolf
#

ok, min

#

How do you join a voice channel where no one else randomly joins and sits in it for 25m

marble crater
#

You don't

deft stump
gray juniper
#

I prefer proximity over puncture on psyker. Puncture doesn’t feel like it does enough

strong gulch
#

Also, I may be up super late, but I made a cute cherry blossom wax seal and turned all of my wax scarps into beads. So at least I got something out of staying up.

On nah. If I pull out the gun I want them finished off with it

We need a sound booth guy for psyker's voice

yall doin havoc?

woeful sigil
#

Like Kratos or master chief

hearty wolf

#

Does psyker actually have the highest dps potential in havoc? More than a rumbler ogryn?

vestal trench
#

i'll join ( carry me too )

#

(my internet's shitting itself)

random thunder

hearty wolf
#

I don't think Ogryn Rumbler is even 2nd highest dps anyway

This is for havoc for inferno.
flak + crit chance (for EE farming) with blaze away and nexus.

For mael do flak + unyielding and can drop EE for quietude if you need more toughness gen

Is also basically "free" bleed.

#

You throw assail shards out, then swap to bistol. The shards that hit will cause 4 stacks of bleed.

#

Same for warpslash and while it's flying, you swap to bistol and now everything hit will be bleeding.

paper oriole
deft stump
#

Is why it's a meleeker thing.

paper oriole
#

I didn't knew game was coded in such a way it checks for weapon that you have equipped not for the source of damage

radiant frigate
#

that's still a thing?

#

still not as good of a fit as reconlas though

paper oriole
deft stump
radiant frigate
#

it is not, no

deft stump
#

An oggy would lul all the way to the next room.

radiant frigate
#

because reconlas

paper oriole
#

Both can be viable, even if one is stronger

#

But that is beside the point

green grove
#

bolt pistol or stub revolver

#

can’t decide </3

marble crater
#

Make a loadout for both, then play neither because you are a psyker and should use a staff angymorrow

green grove
#

but…. but my funny bolt weaponry……

paper oriole
green grove
#

i did not care for the staff

#

ngl

deft stump
#

Then make both loadouts and see which you prefer.

green grove
#

fair enough

#

i mostly just run around w a melee weapon and occasionally pop a specialist/elite brain with brain rupture

stark crown
radiant frigate
#

problem with staff is that the staff i like does not do boss damage

fresh reef
#

fuck this fucking penance fucking fuck it I hate it so much

radiant frigate
radiant frigate
marble crater
#

No boss damage is the least of voidstrike's problems

radiant frigate
#

what other problems does it have

fresh reef
#

when you have lore dumps wasting upwards of 20-30s between waves :)))))))))))))))

#

even with everyone pulling their weight it's fucking ridiculously difficult

radiant frigate
#

sounds painful

fresh reef
#

it is

#

but the charm you get from it is so cool

#

lil bug zapper

marble crater
fresh reef
#

the horror

radiant frigate
#

indeed

#

voidstrike is still good outside of corridors, it just stops being oppressive

marble crater
#

There is a difference between having to aim and using a weapon in wide open spaces when it's designed for corridors

#

why use sparky magic stick when have gun the size of my head

radiant frigate
green grove
marble crater
#

Biggest reason I don't like it is the feeling of not being mobile though

radiant frigate
#

why use sparky magic stick when moonlight force greatsword

#

oh yeah true i suppose

#

#reconsweep

gray juniper
#

Randos do stupid shit like stay outside of the capture zone making it take longer than it should

radiant frigate
#

i have never paid attention to these little charms

gray juniper
#

I don’t care for most of them but some are cool to think about

radiant frigate
#

i care more about force greatsword

#

it's so peak

#

it's so wonderful to watch maulers try to overhead you, only to eat an overhead themselves and flopping over

gray juniper
#

That run with sin showed me nothing is wrong with great sword in havoc. It has no deficiencies. It’s people continually running far away that’s the problem

fresh reef
#

why are you blue

#

FGS is fun but so is dancing forever with the DS. I will miss it when they inevitably nerf it into the ground.

You did same amount as purgatus psyker granted they got bonked into floor twice

I can't block a bulwark so I should go too

#

Soulstealer is great, not to be confused with Souldrinker, which is bad

random thunder
#

why?

#

souldrinker is bad

radiant frigate
#

yes that's what he said

hearty wolf
#

We win all

#

Did they shadow nerf havoc

#

why is it so easy

strong gulch
#

idk

hearty wolf
#

you will get to 40 at this rate

strong gulch
#

you are carrying harder probably

hearty wolf
#

Idk I just getting better somehow

#

Still can't kill ritual dh's and chaos spawns properly

strong gulch
#

I think the ritual DH does like 3 (maybe 4) single swipes and they a flurry.

hearty wolf
strong gulch
#

idk if it's the same attack patterns as a regular DH

they feel a lot slower

#

yeah

hearty wolf
#

they make up for being slower by being in the floor half the time

strong gulch
#

lmao

#

yes

#

fecker swimming in the floor

hearty wolf

well it went well despite you being eep deprived

I thought you did fine

vestal trench
#

one of my friends only plays weekends, the other is spoiled by playing arbites so their fundamentals are wonky

#

the friend that only plays weekends doesnt have 500 rating weapons to bring on ogryn on our havocs

as for me, i have no idea how to clutch on any class

# radiant frigate why's that

Because Zealots only ult that isn't cringe is FOTF and the fact your camera doesn't try to assault you when you use Break the Line

or nuke the burster running at me

Literally turn based combat

But I sometimes use FOTF into a wall for a ranged crit but apparently that doesn't work anymore

Or never did

Or was that a dream

I forgor

vestal trench
#

oof

patent jacinth

The crit window is kinda short

I don't think you can just store it for later

I only use weapons with swap speed that's instant anyway

do the revolvers scale well into havoc or nah?

hearty wolf

They miss a lot of breakpoints on Havoc but I really don't give a shit

#

I take it unarmoured flak

hearty wolf
#

With pointblank and

#

Uh..

#

Hand cannon I think

vestal trench
#

i always mess up the order of activation, heavy, and fotf on thammer

hearty wolf
#

And use throwing knives for maniacs, Zarona for anything else unless a manic needs to die through a horde

hearty wolf

Or just take TWBS

why cant i find this anywhere

Are you changing the mark on your other greatswords

Common problem, we blame fatshark

whats the dumpstat for that? defences im guessing

Yuh

Does it have warp resist?

upper sun
marble crater
#

Called it

sonic gale
#

Are there any good builds here for havoc?

marble crater
#

Inferno and Voidblast builds from the pins will work with shield

sonic gale
#

Best way to use inferno staff? Hold it or just fire off little bursts?

patent jacinth
#

Left click does stagger

#

Right does actual damage

vestal trench
#

minimal charges of rmb to maintain blaze away stacks

patent jacinth
#

You just rmb until a rager appears and then left click like once

#

Peak of gameplay effort

vestal trench
#

you can start an engagement with full charge RMB but after that 40%> charges to keep uptime

I just had the weirdest shit happen. A zealot on my team aggroed a DH, but the DH locked on me even though I didn't even touch it

Soulblaze shenanigans, maybe

DH aggro has always been funny

We did kind of mince them

gray juniper

Not much of a kind of. It was a great relief to see people handle a hexbound like that

marble crater
#

You are going to be so disappointed when you play with randoms in auric again

gray juniper
#

I’m immeasurably disappointed already : )

#

I played maelstrom after and just sighed

#

One game you get this tight squad of people absolutely locked in the whole time. Ps & Qs. Inventive game play and poise

#

Next game you get where’s Waldo and here’s the poxburster you ordered sir

marble crater
gray juniper
#

The img is telling me a lot

vestal trench
#

i went from havoc to a damnation cause im trying to unlock aurics on my zealot

#

had the classic veteran stereotype of running recon las and not knowing how to melee

#

immediately missed the kind of stress havoc gave in contrast

gray juniper
#

Kinda unfortunate we don’t have a penance runs matchmaker and let me just meme one lol

hearty wolf
gray juniper
#

Had 3 wins lined up today too. Loaded into a shit show but comfortable with it. Killed plague orgyn, killed chaos spawn. Got swallowed by BoN and apparently all the DEAD PEOPLE didn’t have faith in psyker finishing a BoN. Everyone disconnects and my shit seizes up. Turn out I’m standing in fire and die

Average Lfg player is about the level of quickplay

the few times i used lfg instead of begging in class chats i was pleasently suprised

fiery stratus

Luck of the draw, the last time I used LFG, I had plenty of people who didn't know enough, and I'd constantly have to clutch

did you go there close to a patch? that could be it

#

i went during the content droughts

#

aaaaa

empty lake
#

when to spam purgation and when to charge it?

long wharf
#

when you want to stagger things

#

vs wipe out a group

sinful perch
ripe obsidian
#

LMB when you don't feel safe enough to charge, or if you want to stagger ragers running at your team, or if twenty shotgunners came around a corner

#

Note that even a smol RMB charge will stagger many enemies, and a Blaze Away charged RMB will stagger most things short of Ogryn

sinful perch
#

Actually, does the quick fire even build up soul blaze or is it just one stack? Cus I've hit enemies with like 5+ blasts and they don't seem to take more DOT

ripe obsidian
#

It builds it up, just slowly.

#

1 stack per LMB, or 2 if it's a crit

sinful perch
#

Ahh

vestal trench
#

if im running gun psyker and vraks iag, would it be better to run raking fire with dumdum instead of deathspitter? i'd imagine assail cant take care of elites and specials anyway, and raking fire would help with bosses

EP assail is so fun

#

20 seconds of assail

wise perch
#

Wait how long does EP last on Assail?

#

Surely it's not 20 seconds.

Ngl I don't trust any of the buff icons so many just don't show up it seems

jovial juniper
wise perch
#

No I mean when I have EP, the icon disappears as soon as I throw out an Assail bolt.

verbal thistle
#

gambling time

wise perch
#

I should double check but I'm pretty sure none of the icons that appear when I cast an Assail bolt are EP.

#

At least they don't visually match EP's icon.

sinful perch
#

Unless you mean all the charges disappear

wise perch
#

Oh, I kinda assumed it should be a timer, cause only lasting for one bolt seems a little underwhelming.

#

But I guess with the keystone modifiers you can squeeze out more.

Aiming with assail

Does the passive brain burst from kinetic flayer get affected by empowered psionics?

Yes

thats so good to know

Question: if you folks could change the Lmb of the staffs, what would each get?

jovial juniper
#

Shrimple

#

Blast would have aoe explosion like a bolt weapon

#

Electric would jump like Soulstealer staff

#

VoidSTRIKE would have some cleave

patent jacinth
#

EK gets empowered staff bash with stun behavior similar to arbmaul special
Trauma gets short cone blasts with enough stagger to stagger everything below ragers
Voidstrike just gets the projectile changed a bit to not be hyper crit dependent

south gull
#

Finally got Defy Fate penance

#

smh

hasty bridge
#

whats the dump stat on a greatsword?

potent echo
#

Voidstrike might benefit from some kind of hitacan LMB so you have another reason to use it

jovial juniper

hasty bridge

thanks

potent echo
#

If they were going to change the LMB I rather they do it on a different mark, I'm kinda attached to trauma LMB for the suppression, even decent ttk with you land headshots

does empathic evasion stack at all

#

or is it just 1s icd 1s on/off

thorn cedar

eager token
patent jacinth

If it stacked that would be fucked

#

Dump an infantry auto mag or a recon with scriers up and then play the rest of the encounter with ranged immunity

eager token
#

well like

#

does every crit reset the countdown essentially

#

like if i keep critting does it just cap at 1s

patent jacinth
#

You just refresh the active 1 second stack

(needs more testing)

keen folio
#

For Warp Siphon, do you need to get the last hit on the specialist/elite to get a stack?

potent echo
#

I'm not sure if they have the ping leniency that DD has

#

DD you can not get the last hit and still get the stack sometimes

#

I know arby DD does not have this leniency

Is the Warp Battery penance asking you to hold max charges for an unbroken 120s, or do I just have to have max charges for a total of 120s?

rigid moss
#

unbroken 120s

#

its easier than it sounds though. Just remember to not use your ult.

#

It's one of these that are hard to get randomly because you usually want to use your ult but not actually that hard once you focus on it.

storm hollow
#

whast the dump stat for the great sword

#

just both greatsword and sword i suck at phrasing

strong gulch
#

All force weapons dump WR except voidstrike which dumps blast radius

storm hollow
#

the dump is warp resist

strong gulch
#

dump recs in pins

storm hollow
#

shit ive had a godroll blaze force sword since launch but i wanna try the new greatsword

rigid moss
#

Just buy grey swords from brunts aromry until you get one with 60% warp resist

#

its pretty easy to force perfect stats nowadays

storm hollow
#

ik

#

what'd be the ideal ranged weapon and why am i guessing its either the voidblast or voidstrike

rigid moss
#

all of the staffs are at least kinda ok. Voidstrike is probably the weakest.

#

Depends on your build and difficulty.

#

Havoc standard build is bubble + inferno

storm hollow
#

iunno every psyker on high diff has been using the lightning and dome

rigid moss
#

but its just the most widely used build, theres more than one that is viable

strong gulch
#

VS is the weakest, but all are good in maels and below.

Purg/ infero and tauma / VB are meta in havoc. More so purg because of red modifier.

#

inferno things

rigid moss
#

"Hold fire in a general direction, watch killfeed" is a surprising amount of psyker gameplay.

strong gulch
#

yes

#

wildfire + KF + PC wiping out a whole shotgunner squad before you even get to see them is funny

radiant frigate
zinc comet
#

Weakest != weak

strong gulch
#

It's slow, doesn't hit hard enough with different stacking modifiers and HP increases, it's cleave not having as much gusto with hit mass changes, and getting sounded easily.

That's for havoc, but some still applicable in non-havocs. True aim nerf didn't help.

#

It being meta with assail also means no psyk aura so less shriek spam.

radiant frigate
#

not sure why one would combine void with assail honestly

strong gulch
#

but weakest of the bunch vs weak is also something to consider

radiant frigate
#

asking because i don't see it being weaker than surge

#

in any aspect other than boss damage

strong gulch
#

Scattered shooters and hordes makes VS a bit venerable.

radiant frigate
#

vulnerable you mean

strong gulch
#

Surge is faster and more mobile but it is very good at being a shriek spammers and a catalyst for PC.

#

It suffers a lot in bubble builds and havocs

#

You can kite more easily with surge too while still doing its RMB attack.

marble crater
#

If I could inject Surge into my veins, I would

strong gulch
#

I will say tho, if you can play really well with a particular staff, then do it.

#

If you're amazing with VS but inferno just doesn't click with you or hate that staff, the VS is probably better for that person.

It's true though. I find it more important to have some kind of meaning to wake up

Arby just hard bullies, oggy actually kills.

i dont want to hear otherwise

i dont mind arby so much but the dog ruins games

Nah you’ll see them running and backpedaling in havoc once the red or purple hits

gray juniper
tulip kettle

game director gets all fucky with coherency punishemnts

#

idk why more people arent talking about the changes

gray juniper
#

Possibly so yea

#

Bigger mob you think?

tulip kettle
#

no

#

idk i dont want to go on a rant and sound crazy..

#

but i have been saying the past few days the game tells you how to play and i really do mean it, and i dont think most people realise it

gray juniper
#

Counting for extra player that’s not there?

gray juniper
#

I legit don’t understand

radiant frigate
tulip kettle
#

i will give some examples

radiant frigate
#

with dog, war crime

tulip kettle
#

every enemy that spawns, is a signal from the game

#

every single one

gray juniper
#

Ok

tulip kettle
#

when you try and go the "wrong way", the game will spawn increasing amounts of enemies with higher mass and armour

gray juniper
#

Oh shit you think dog routes?

tulip kettle
#

well im getting to it

#

if you fall too far behind from where the game thinks your "squad" is, you will get weakened BoN spawn

#

even as far as

upper sun
#

man i think fatshark made this spesifically because they got pissed at people bitching about havoc

tulip kettle
#

sometimes it is leading you to an item

#

you will have a trapper spawn on a side route

#

it will say

#

something just for you

#

you go that way

#

there is a med stim / med pack

#

etc etc

#

i sound crazy

gray juniper
#

Wow I never noticed that

tulip kettle
#

nobody does.

jovial juniper
tulip kettle
#

but anyway

radiant frigate
#

what's good bitching

gray juniper
#

Well I’m certainly thinking about other things when a trapper pops up. It’s a game ender

jovial juniper
upper sun
quartz barn
#

People will just outrun the glubby

tulip kettle
#

all of this stuff is centered around the squad, coherency, the furthest point forward someone has been, and the furthest point back member who is still in coherency

upper sun
#

i feel like that was added as a fuck you to them

tulip kettle
#

the dog, breaks this

jovial juniper
#

Oh yeah I'm BoN strongest hater

jovial juniper
#

Don't mind bulwarks that much though

radiant frigate
#

bulwark ok but fuck bulwark pack

tulip kettle
#

you will be the person in the "middle" of the squad, and not receive any punishments

#

the arb moves

upper sun
#

personally i just leave when i see either

tulip kettle
#

its dog moves

#

and now the director thinks you are faling behind / went the wrong way

gray juniper
tulip kettle
#

you get punished

quartz barn
#

Mfw the bulwark pack makes a circle and only uses bash to stagger you

tulip kettle
#

you did nothing wrong

#

its also why

#

there are undodgeable specials

#

etc

#

crushers that kill you but you know you dodged it

radiant frigate
#

wha

tulip kettle
#

yes im a crazy person sure

tulip kettle
#

but the game never used to be this way

#

and its so noticeable now

gray juniper
tulip kettle
#

if you look out for it

#

go into H40

#

run a different route than your team

last shore
upper sun
#

🚬 the truama user isnt allowed to say good things about bulwarks

glacial vapor
#

I do love a desync overhead. Very fun

tulip kettle
#

yes and again thats intentional

radiant frigate
tulip kettle
#

so like i say, im a crazy person

#

but for your next couple of games

gray juniper
tulip kettle
#

pay extra attention to the spawns, where they are, their voice lines, where the grenades land on the ground, where the gas is etc

jovial juniper
#

Tbf I main Eviscerator 15

#

Warks aren't shit to it

glacial vapor
tulip kettle
#

it wont happen if you are in coherency with your team

the arb with dog breaks the ai calculation for coherency

radiant frigate
radiant frigate
#

exclusively

upper sun
#

based bulwark hater

gray juniper
upper sun
tulip kettle
#

but this is it. i know its hard to believe and i know i sound crazy, but the game is forcing a specific pace and a specific route and literally where it wants you to stand, when it wants you to shoot, when it wants you to use an ability, everything. You get punished for not doing those things, but you will never be punished if you maintain coherency with all 4 players.

#

you can also brute force past it together

#

but look for what i mean

#

its trying to highlight "do this thing" "go this way"

gray juniper
tulip kettle
#

the right move is always "stay in coherency"

#

then theres 2 choices

#

play how the game wants you to play

#

face very few spawns

loud girder
tulip kettle
#

complete mission quickly

tulip kettle
#

or dont

analog verge
tulip kettle
#

and overcome the punishments

#

the punishments being huge amounts of armour and weakened bosses

#

note these bosses are seperate from the scripted spawns triggered when you reach a certain point in the level

#

you will even get punished for going near the med station when you shouldnt

#

the med has a set number of uses for people dependent on the damage they took

loud girder
#

wait are u talking about normal games or havoc? punishment waves in havoc were added pre arbites

tulip kettle
#

im talking about havoc

#

but its also in normal

loud girder
#

yeah they were added before dog was even a thing

loud girder
#

its just unfun design

tulip kettle
#

and its far more complex than what people are aware of

loud girder
#

mmmmm yes 100 bulwarks very fun

tulip kettle
#

people know

#

oh i go backwards too far and i get 16 bulwarks

#

thats the only one people seem to know

last shore
#

So. Staying in coherency and the very first section of smelter, literally when we started the mission, we had twins, beast of nurgle and chaos spawn (not weakened) and a DH ritual all spawn at once. Where did we mess up? staregryn @tulip kettle explain this

tulip kettle
#

but everything is a form of this

radiant frigate
#

well that sucks

#

more reasons not to play havoc

tulip kettle
#

you waited at the start or someone pressed their ability before you entered th elevel start

#

look, you dont have to believe me

gray juniper
tulip kettle
#

but as an example, just look at the grenades

#

where they land

#

where the fire spreads

#

its literally showing you where to walk

loud girder
last shore
tulip kettle
#

again, its not new

tulip kettle
#

but the behaviour has changed significantly

#

dismiss me its fine

#

but next time youre playing

#

if you look at one thing

#

look at where the gas and fire from grenades goes and how its showing you a route / making you wait for your team etc

glacial vapor
tulip kettle
#

then you will start to notice other things

static sonnet
#

It would be very interesting to see all the logic that is put into the director

tulip kettle
#

wanna know an interesting one?

#

you try to go the wrong way

#

it spawns crushers and bulwarks to stop you - they trigger their voice line

#

everyone hears it say "no stopping me"

#

but you hear it say "NO, STOPping me

#

"CANT be STOPped"

tulip kettle
#

if you use a med you shouldnt you will get punished

#

now another cool one

#

play until death xealot

#

with martyrdom

#

watch the game give you damage

#

play the same thing but with no until death or martyrdom, take no damage

glacial vapor
#

Alright, this is getting conspiratorial now

tulip kettle
#

oh for sure dude im crazy

#

šŸ™‚

glacial vapor
#

As long as you're aware I guess KEKW_ogryn

tulip kettle
#

but again

#

just start with the nades

#

then start looking at the other spawns

#

and if youre in havoc and hear a trapper saying "something just for you"

#

run to it šŸ™‚
