anyways, its all hypothetical on a no cap wildfire

strong gulch
#

If you want to do FGS and inferno you can. It's not optimized, but you totally can.

Inferno needs something to deal with crushers. That is the bare minimum. If you want to minmax, the DS4, deimos, knife, etc are all going to be better because they all have uncanny strikes that affects SB DoT damage. Also, having a melee option that either gives you defensive utility or a lot of mobility is very appreciated on staves.

#

FGS handles horde and single targets, including crushers and bosses, well enough to work just fine on any build tho.

#

But between uncanny strikes access and other things mentioned above, FGS is generally best on right side tree builds. Those are typically guns, melee, and assail builds.

#

Lots of people like FGS with EK.

#

for either left or right side builds

brazen rampart
#

Inferno doesn't need any rending at all.

#

That approach is only to allow your soulblaze to kill crushers.

strong gulch
#

no

#

It's for bosses

#

That's also if you trying to as optimized as possible.

radiant frigate
#

yuge boss damage

brazen rampart
#

Why would you use inferno on a boss when you can just keep headshotting them with your melee?

brazen rampart
#

Both obscurus and deimos have great finesse damage, assuming you're falling for the uncanny approach bait.

storm hollow
#

ok so i have plenty of avenues for builds

brazen rampart
#

Just use greatsword and 2shot ogryns and maulers if you want to use inferno.

storm hollow
#

the funny inferno; the melee greatsword and the ranged scrier

radiant frigate
#

it's also possible to build the Bosskiller 9000 DS4

strong gulch
#

You get 15 stacks the the boss and everything else in the area then melee it. It's much faster.

storm hollow
#

i wish my godroll autogun didnt go to a semi auto/burst autogun

dull scroll
#

depends entirely on how many stacks you can get on the boss

radiant frigate
dull scroll
#

warpfire in high enough stacks starts to do crazy dmg

brazen rampart
strong gulch
#

A lot of the time you are just flaming everything and not just a boss.

brazen rampart
#

Especially when scriers gets involved.

storm hollow
#

and i dunked a lot of money perfecting my arbitrator

#

frankly the melee classes fit me well and im struggling to decipher psyker/veteran lol

radiant frigate
brazen rampart
#

Is greatsword better with a scriers setup? Absolutely. You get oneshots on ogryns with scriers + dd.

radiant frigate
#

just not beefy melee classes

storm hollow
#

you know what i mean

brazen rampart
#

Is it bad on a staffker build? Absolutely not.

radiant frigate
storm hollow
#

they have more range-focused gameplay, even if it's hybrid

brazen rampart
#

Vet gets O4B, which is just sickeningly good, so there's not a huge problem there.

radiant frigate
#

or bubble

storm hollow
#

i think of it as the arbitrator is 80/20 melee range, ogryn is 70/30, zealot is 90/10, veteran is 50/50, and psyker is like 40/60

brazen rampart
#

Also the peril management toughness gen talents kinda stink.

radiant frigate
brazen rampart
#

Not enough magnitude for me to consider them.

#

Soulstealer and mettle are the good ones.

radiant frigate
#

quietude is absolutely considerable

brazen rampart
#

Considering how crit oriented psyker is.

radiant frigate
#

that + bcob means melee headshot kills give 10% toughness

brazen rampart
#

Ok but like, no.

radiant frigate
#

that is in line with out for blood on vet or the extra 5% on close kill for arby

brazen rampart
#

Not worth the point spent on it.

brazen rampart
#

And before you mention second wind, I have a very strong suspicion it's going to get gimped as soon as zeal tree gets a rework.

radiant frigate
#

why would i mention second wind

brazen rampart
#

I would be willing to have it be reworked to be toughness/time instead of a flat 15% restore.

brazen rampart
#

Except maybe something like walk it off. That's pretty damn consistent.

#

You can literally push air to get toughness back in a pinch.

radiant frigate
#

walk it off is pretty whatever

#

5%/s like dog regen

#

or take a breath

#

or forceful

brazen rampart
#

Catch a breath is also p good.

radiant frigate
#

i should say it's pretty whatever in relation to the rest of arby toughness options in particular

brazen rampart
#

Anywho, the point is, psyker has some issues generating toughness in melee, especially if you go left side.

radiant frigate
brazen rampart
weary idol
brazen rampart
#

And thats 5%/s over the course of 3s for every bar of stamina you spend.

weary idol
#

not as good as walk it off but like

#

still

brazen rampart
#

Which you will likely be spending stamina fast enough that you will forever be resetting it.

weary idol
#

arbites gets good toughness

brazen rampart
#

Indeed.

#

I quite like the toughness over time approach of arbites talents.

#

I think future talents should work like this, and some talents should be reworked to be like this.

radiant frigate
#

personally not sure i like anything about arbites (naysaying time)

brazen rampart
#

Ok it's time to beat Kat with hammers.

#

(glazing arbites time)

hearty wolf
bright lichen
#

my favourite arbites weapons are crusher and the shield shotpistol lol

radiant frigate
#

you better not say anything mandated or edict related

radiant frigate
brazen rampart
hearty wolf
#

dog>gaze

brazen rampart
#

Hope this answers any questions you currently have and any you might ask in the future.

radiant frigate
brazen rampart
#

WACK

hearty wolf
#

dog doesn't like YOU

brazen rampart
#

Dog is op.

radiant frigate
#

should give class with big cat instead

brazen rampart
#

Dog does like a third of my damage.

hearty wolf
#

I'm going to install a mod so I can use it on my teammates

radiant frigate
hearty wolf
#

as soon as one of you becomes an EO targets

#

it's so over for you

brazen rampart
radiant frigate
#

class so mid it needs an immortal dog-shaped guided missile to be relevant

#

fire and forget, ding-dong the boss is dead

brazen rampart
#

I mean, lone wolf is still really strong.

#

I just really like shock jaws and being able to say "hey, kill that guy" and my dog runs backwards through a spawn door to go maul a sniper.

hearty wolf
#

Class has baked in revive speed for reviving psykers who blow themselves up

vernal temple
radiant frigate
brazen rampart
#

(It's literally a propaganda machine)

radiant frigate
#

could have ressed normally in the time it took you to deploy and res

brazen rampart
#

Yeah but like, toughness generation for you as soon as you get up.

radiant frigate
#

since unlike most other things it's not instant

#

and l o n g cd

brazen rampart
#

I would figure it's less for you to deploy and start the revive and more for you to throw down on someone as they start reviving.

radiant frigate
#

not sure revive speed is dynamic

brazen rampart
#

I'm meaning with the aux node on nuncio.

#

30% revive speed to anyone within the aoe.

paper oriole
radiant frigate
#

well yeah but will it speed up a revive already in progress

storm hollow
#

the brain blast charges so slowly man

tulip kettle
#

yeah you dont use it

#

its just for killing snipers and getting the "kinetic flayer" talent

#

and having access to the talent below called psykinetics aura

#

and wildfire

storm hollow
#

athe quintissential high end psyker build doesnt use a blitz

tulip kettle
#

well yeah

#

though, you are using it

#

just not by using it

#

its still going off

#

every 15 seconds

storm hollow
#

soulblaze rgiht

tulip kettle
#

its pretty significant towards your total dmg in the game for a whole host of reasons, especially when running inferno

#

but the brainburst node itself is pretty much a tax

#

that gives you a tool for dealing with snipers and far away bombers and such which you otherwise cant do with inferno

storm hollow
#

i guess but why does it feel like assail could do much better

tulip kettle
#

because you dont understand the game

#

i dont mean that in a harsh way, you just dont have the tools to reliably asses stuff

wild basin
#

๐Ÿ™‚

weary idol
#

But Psykinetic's Aura

#

So

#

You pick one of the 2 bad ones instead

thorn cedar
tulip kettle
#

and also kinetic flayer

#

kinetic flayer itself is extremely good

storm hollow
#

well then

weary idol
#

usually brain rupture because you have no reason to use smite on most staff builds

#

and kf is a fair chunk of free damage

#

even if brain burst itself without KF is almost inarguably the worst blitz in the game

stable silo
#

shock staff warp flurry/nexus ?

tulip kettle
#

oh for sure

tulip kettle
prisma hinge
tulip kettle
#

if using lmb take surge instead of flurry

stable silo
#

with crit/flak ?

verbal thistle
prisma hinge
#

this is what i use

tulip kettle
#

i use unyielding and flak

storm hollow
#

so what build can use assail?

#

melee?

#

scrier?

verbal thistle
#

all can

tulip kettle
#

lots of right side builds with guns

verbal thistle
#

assail is free horde clear and rager stagger

tulip kettle
#

the thing is, assail is

#

exactly that

prisma hinge
verbal thistle
#

even reaper stagger

tulip kettle
#

and so, its not something you need on a lot of builds

#

wheras, kinetic flayer does around 12-15% of your total dmtg alone

prisma hinge
#

Deimos Force Sword
Agripinna (however you spell that shit) Snub Nose
Venting Shriek

tulip kettle
#

and also prcos perilous combustion etc

prisma hinge
tulip kettle
#

ew shriek on gunker

#

take scriers tf

prisma hinge
#

it's just for spacing

weary idol
#

why the hell are you using shriek for gunker

#

for *spacing

#

spacing

#

brother

#

kill them

prisma hinge
#

yep.

storm hollow
#

so

weary idol
#

you are a gunker

prisma hinge
#

it works for me.

verbal thistle
weary idol
#

you can just do that

verbal thistle
#

I use this with zarona revolver

#

very fun

storm hollow
#

i think i could go for a scrier's build with the lightning

#

have good crowd control and use my weapons for single target

tulip kettle
#

that would suck

#

awfully

prisma hinge
#

Scrier is Smite is good for CC

#

but just that basically lol

weary idol
#

You are a SG psyker just kill them

verbal thistle
#

I use EK + assail + gaze

weary idol
#

You have the literal best spontaneous horde clear in the entire game at your finger tips with FGS

tulip kettle
#

scriers with smite

weary idol
#

Why would you waste your time using smite

tulip kettle
#

he means smite

storm hollow
#

its called smite?

#

i forgot thx

tulip kettle
#

the blitz one?

#

yes

prisma hinge
#

Scrier + Lightning + Empowered Psionics = palpatine

tulip kettle
#

dont use that with scriers gaze

#

apart from it isnt because you dont use finesse or crit on smite

#

i showed a test the other day that has mixed horde of ragers groaners and pox taking 16 secs to die to EP smite, thats in NON HAVOC

#

it is not good

#

take assail and just kill them as above

storm hollow
#

oh wait, vet/psyker/zealot havent been reworked like ogryn so they still are left/mid/right, ranged/melee/hybrid right

weary idol
weary idol
#

how long does gun psyker take to clear a huge horde of poxwalkers?

#

exactly as long as it takes to charge FGS wave xd

tulip kettle
#

like 6 seconds

storm hollow
#

so left psyker tree is melee

weary idol
#

So like 6 or so seconds

storm hollow
#

middle hybrid

#

right ranged

prisma hinge
#

yep

tulip kettle
#

slash slash assail slash slash assail slash slash charged slash

#

all dead

weary idol
storm hollow
#

shit yeah i forgot since ogryn and arbites are way more adaptive

weary idol
#

for psykeer

jovial juniper
#

Go for it

prisma hinge
#

ignore what the "meta" scumsuckers say

#

have fun

tulip kettle
#

man aint nobody having fun with scriers smite

prisma hinge
#

i am

#

shit's fun

jovial juniper
#

Good

prisma hinge
#

i like seeing entire waves get nullified because my fingies are feeling electric

#

it's best with Empowered Psionics

#

+200% extra damage and +50% faster spread

#

is it great? no.

weary idol
#

I like seeing entire waves get nullified because I kill them personally

storm hollow
#

what is psyker one of the few classes that is just "any loadout's good for havoc 40 no matter what you arrange it"

prisma hinge
#

is it fun? yes.

storm hollow
#

understandable

weary idol
#

They do get multiple viable playstyles and a wide variety of viable weapons tho

storm hollow
#

guess that's ogryn

prisma hinge
#

and Arbitrator

#

especially with his get out of jail free Castigator's stance

bright lichen
storm hollow
#

oh yeah i love that

marble crater
storm hollow
#

i might shoot for a gun psyker then, wish i knew which gun would hit hardest

marble crater
#

What is going on here

storm hollow
#

im thinking infantry autogun

jovial juniper
#

Vraks5 infantry autogun

#

Is the dps monster

prisma hinge
storm hollow
#

knew it

prisma hinge
#

while we're all just talking about fun psyker play styles

#

not necessarily useful ones, but fun ones

marble crater
#

staregryn I will check in again later

weary idol
#

Not because it's a good gun, but because puncture makes assail/fgs wave apply bleed

bright lichen
#

what????

#

it does that???

weary idol

yeah lol

@weary idol theres an infantry auto with all 80s and the dump being mobility, and an all 80s bolt pistol with the dump being stability in brunt's

spice oar
#

bleed psyker is real

storm hollow
#

so i assume that i can use the greatsword on a scrier build right

spice oar
#

melee psyker fucks, especially on scriers

#

i like using fgs with shriek tho since 2 activations is a free room clear

weary idol
storm hollow
#

isnt scrier's the gun option though

#

or does it just make the psyker both

weary idol
#

gun psyker is only called that because they have a gun

#

it's primarily a melee playstyle

#

one of the strongest melee playstyles in the game

storm hollow
#

surprising, but i'll take it

hopefully i did the tree right

I'm in the twilight zone

storm hollow

anyway ive been hearing about this uncanny strike or something, but i dont see any blessings on the sword that's that

#

is it Warp Slice?

storm hollow
#

then whats the good blessings on it

torn kernel
#

Warp slice bad

jovial juniper

Avoid
Warp Slice
Blazing Spirit
Murderous Tranquility

torn kernel
#

You crit more than enough without it anyway kekw

All blessings are fine to great for FGS except those 3

torn kernel
#

Murderous tranq can be funny for infinite uptime builds but it's unnecessary after the gaze buffs

storm hollow
torn kernel
#

Avoid those 3

jovial juniper
#

Avoid

proper osprey
#

Iโ€™m ngl i canโ€™t play staffs after using melee psyker so much

storm hollow
#

ok so like

#

Momentum?

proper osprey
#

mk6 knife or mk3 knife for melee psyker hmmmm

storm hollow
#

and Shred i guess?

torn kernel
#

i'd prob recommend shred + whatever else you want

proper osprey
#

I do shred + wrath

torn kernel
#

shred + precog gives you funny crit numbers, shred wrath is nice if you don't have warp splitting

storm hollow
#

ok what about the infantry autogun

#

@weary idol

torn kernel
#

shred + unstable is pretty reliable

proper osprey
#

The fgs has no bad blessings besides thoses 3 above

storm hollow
#

im guessing DumDum and Punishing Salvo

#

or Sustained Fire

proper osprey
torn kernel
#

vraks, raking fire, dumdum

storm hollow
#

raking fire?

#

really?

torn kernel
#

maximum boss melting

storm hollow
#

oh ok

torn kernel
#

angles are janky but when you get it right it's fuckin amazing

proper osprey
#

Oh auto

strong gulch
#

raking is not the general rec

torn kernel
#

i use +crit +unyielding

strong gulch
#

but it's fine

torn kernel
#

but that really only works if you use it for bosses and only bosses

#

which

#

gunker

#

so like just melee shit kekw

weary idol
torn kernel
#

we support BoN racism here in these parts

#

i forgot the blessing setup for gunker laspistol

#

you don't want infernus, right?

analog agate

Infernus/dumdum

torn kernel
#

oh

#

i swear there was an alternate setup without infernus

#

but i forgor

stable silo
#

what gun or staff u guys like to run with scriers FGS build ?

torn kernel
#

vraks iag, recon las, or heavy laspistol

#

people also run voidstrike/EK sometimes

wispy bay
#

Vstrike is fun because of the Nexus/surge combo proc more reliably.

#

It pretty much double the damage output.

#

EK M1 is in the same boat.

torn kernel
#

yea but EK M1 kills your fingers if you want any decent dps kekw

stable silo

interesting interaction with scryers does it reset your peril when you activate it ?

it lowers it by 50%

That isn't made of carapace.

oh? FGS destroys carapace though

analog island

Not on lights

that is true ๐Ÿ˜”

Fgs does good damage on the chained overheads

zealot's relic's lights do, very satisfying

I love the relic blade ๐Ÿ’œ

# analog island Bubble is meta in h40?

It is sometimes interesting to see that people are playing a different game. This is not a critique. Just interesting to encounter someone not familiar with the meta after spending so much time with all of us no-life H40 players.

How exactly does brittleness work with soulflame? Like, soulflame is really really bad against carapace enemies but does brittleness make it better by any substantial amount?

I will need to test this.

dull scroll
analog island
#

Relic blade light stabs are so great

tulip kettle
#

the one interaction like this i did test is with rending instead of brittleness

#

but with 100% rending soulblaze goes from 42-46 dmg per tick to over 400

#

on crushers

ripe obsidian
#

Soulblaze has such good ADM on everything that isn't carapace that rending feels bad.

sinful perch
# tulip kettle i dont know the exact amount but yes

I have penetrating flames on my inferno staff and even with abysmal carapace damage normally it's actually doing pretty good, not the best option one on one but when there's a group of crushers it's still really really good

analog island
#

What if they buffed purge staff to shoot charged thunder hammers? For balance reasons of course

ripe obsidian
#

I just scream and flee when Crushers get close.

tulip kettle
#

i dont rate pen flames personally

ripe obsidian

Like a real Psyker.

analog island
dull scroll
#

the more yolo method to increase warpfire damage is go bonk crushers on the head with an uncanny melee ๐Ÿ˜

because i really want nexus and blaze away

and yes, exactly, then just stack uncanny

#

get much better effect than pen flames

and also get to stab things

Hmm is there any reason to be using the regular force sword over great sword aside from speed preference?

Obscurus still cracking armor like crazy

Uncanny has funny interaction with soulblaze

#

Since soulblazr inherits your currently equipped weapon's perks/blessings

#

But ever since they added blaze away on burger this isn't too valuable anymore

vestal trench
#

i didnt go into casualty as psyker on a havoc 30+ for once kirby_dance

tulip kettle
#

in the cases that you want it for

#

non carapace dies to soulblaze anyway so sure, it doesnt matter there. But vs carapace, stacking uncanny takes you from roughly 40 damage per tick to over 400

#

thats a 1000% damage increase

#

i woldnt call that "not too valuable" but thats just me

storm hollow
#

is it funny that the mark 5 dueling sword feels rly fun to use

#

obviously i'll try mark 4 but still

proper osprey
#

Knife soyker Is fun

tulip kettle
#

its not funny, all the duelling swords feel great

#

but the DS4 is unmistakeably king for what you want it for

#

though on psyker we have deimos and thats pretty good too

#

whichever the MK is that has defences, i think 5, is very funny because of the sheer mobility it gives

potent echo
#

It's mainly there for crusher blobs yea

#

For bosses it might be better to just keep burger out

#

Unless there are really no ads around

tulip kettle
#

its usually better to burn everything to 15 stacks, then stack uncanny on a trash mob

I need to do this test

#

Burgeraway vs uncanny vs a plagryn

ok so for da swordโ„ข, its uncanny strike and thrust?

(dueling)

or uncanny and shred

Kinetic deflection applies to the auto block while reviving right? If I have deflector and that weapon in my hand does that also apply that and blocked ranged attacks or nah

thorn cedar
#

it used to, way back on launch

tulip kettle

you cant block ranged attaclks when reviving

#

but kinetic deflector does apply yes

the deflector blessing only works on an angle in front of you when blocking

Agile Propaganda

tulip kettle

dont get me wrong by taking agile you are missing out on a bunch of good options

but you already shit out damage, its okay to bring something to keep you safe for when you get seperated from the team and need to hightail it back to them or w/e

#

and never forget they took infinite dodges away from us in the first place

if i had to guess: melee crit chance and carapace armor for the dueling sword?

prime elk

oh no

#

another one lost to DS

storm hollow
#

not yet i just forgot about perks

dull scroll
#

I have mastered the special and have therefore forsook dodge and agile

prime elk
#

if you want to improve as a player, strongly advise to not use DS

storm hollow
#

why?

dull scroll
#

ignore the haters

storm hollow
#

the mk4 dueling and the mk4 blaze force seem to be equally strong

prime elk
#

and teaches bad habits

#

it also creates the stereotypical staffker players that gets flattened by a crusher the moment their staff can't keep up with mixed hordes

#

psyker's already a terrible class for learning game fundamentals

#

and DS makes it so much worse

dull scroll
#

don't listen to this naysayer, if you master DS you can kill a team of crushers in seconds

#

without even dodging

prime elk

i mean the fact that it's broken is one of the reasons it's getting nerfed lol

Why can they not hit you when youโ€™re lunging?

RIP.

#

Have you tried turning them up?

ripe obsidian

I have not

I bring that up because deadvoid gets better performance turning them up for some reason.

But I also remember Path spiralling trying to optimize his game and get frames and whatnot to not drop.

If you're on nvidia.

So maybe peace find you. KEKW_ogryn

Turn on instant replay.

I have weird frames stutters with it off. staregryn

strong gulch

I don't know much about performance, but that sounds really odd.

It's like frame gen or some smoothness option is off when that option is off.

ripe obsidian
#

Instant replay is recording, no?

plucky flax
#

Ye but just have it on.

#

Without recording.

#

It's just so you can save the last x minutes of gmeplay with a button press.

sinful perch

I played a long time ago on PC but they only had pests and they were kinda useless

strong gulch
# sinful perch What did the update do with pets?

The way the data for soup and pets, and I forget what else, apparently is changing. If you released your pets out of their cages or wheels before updating, they'll be fine. If not, they'll be gone. Also soups in bowls and pots will be affected.

That's my understanding.

#

There's info on the community hub.

sinful perch
#

Ahh damn

#

I'll have to look up all the soups again, I loved being the cook

strong gulch
#

I think you'll still know the recipes, but I am not sure of that. My memory is failing.

Something about made pots of soup all tuning into 1 kind, but soups made after the update will be normal.

Also, filled bowls will basically have a fake soup that won't give you thirst or hunger. You can just pour it on the ground.

I think there was something else food related, but idk what's a spoiler for you or anyone else. It's very minor tho.

Tox bombers are rude. >:(

Also quelling is much less punishing than venting

true

i forgot about how differently soulblaze worked

I think there's only one level of burn in VT2, with a bonus that doubles it for Sienna

potent echo

Dot on inferno was much lower, you didn't have stagger (on elites)

But it's still a lot better in cata than other difficulties

I once lost a run because my BH ult sprayed two low HP teammates who chose that moment to rush ahead of me

Just VT2 things

I don't think dt ever had FF

radiant frigate
#

vt2 flamer staff sucked because it only killed hordes and you had no blitz to deal with specials

vestal trench
#

huh, ig the blue hitmarker just misled me

radiant frigate
#

dealing with hordes too efficiently could also be detrimental as it deprives your team of thp

potent echo
#

Also you had the shotgun staff

toughness grows on trees

Which is just much better

vestal trench
#

was shotgun the beam?

And did almost the same thing
