psyker-class

[hearty wolf]

It's always the definition of the zoomer phrase

"Spiralling"

[strong gulch]

Yeah same

I didn't try anything else.

That's not what I was doing. It was just BB

on rotted crusher

[gray juniper]

So basically I’m going to get thunder hammer poached every time if I don’t line it up perfectly

https://tenor.com/view/kostik-gif-8754649581710441197

[jovial juniper]

You will line it up

And hit reg will say nah

I had 4 hit reg incidents against a BoN

No wonder I stopped playing shroud hammer

[deft stump]

I feel like that's just normal.

7 shots to a trapper, she still not dead.

[jovial juniper]

[deft stump]

Bistol, should be a 2 body shot kill.

Assuming the worst.

[pale prairie]

Did you remember to load the bullets???? /s

[strong gulch]

You mean dump them on the ground because you tried to quell right?

[pale prairie]

Yeah! Can you imagine VR Darktide? With having to literally reload

[strong gulch]

I would 🤮

[pale prairie]

Next level terror

[weary idol]

ogryn reload

just punch everything into place

[hearty wolf]

I had another shower

And had a eureka moment

How do I get melk curios

I need 3 stamina curios

And I need stamina regen, revive speed and ability regen

[deft stump]

Aren't those dime a dozen?

[hearty wolf]

Then we're going to begin operation Daisy chain

[hearty wolf]

Yes

Give

Me

Tokens

[strong gulch]

depends

some characters just have bad luck

[hearty wolf]

My +3 atm I think is fake

It's 410

Is that fine

[strong gulch]

gamble your melkies

[deft stump]

I always only get too many +3 stam.

[deft stump]

410+ are good.

400 are usually fakes.

[strong gulch]

410 good

[pale prairie]

What the fuck is a fake?

Is my screen lying to me??? It says 3 stamina

[deft stump]

A +2 that claims to be a +3.

[pale prairie]

I uh I gotta go login

[deft stump]

You can go test.

[hearty wolf]

Oh I see

Either way

[deft stump]

Go psykhanium, count stam pips, then go to any uprising mission, count.

[hearty wolf]

My 410 isn't 430

And what's worse

[strong gulch]

In a live mission tho.

Fake stams act right in the meat grinder

[hearty wolf]

It's not silver bullet

[pale prairie]

This is frankly evil and sinister

[deft stump]

If they match, real.

If they don't, WELL.

[half pebble]

wanna try psyker again. does scriers gaze suck?

[pale prairie]

But if they are 410 are they solid?

[radiant frigate]

no it's epic

[deft stump]

Yes.

[half pebble]

yay

[hearty wolf]

Who here hates dog

[pale prairie]

Karien

[half pebble]

do you guys have like, tips for psyker

[hearty wolf]

I need validation for not taking dog

[pale prairie]

Don’t get hit

[deft stump]

Look, penance hunting.

[half pebble]

ik check the pins but the guide there is super number-y and hard to read

[earnest cobalt]

Thats top tip right there

[deft stump]

Penance hunting for impact and mines.

[hearty wolf]

I won't take mines

They're overpowered

[weary idol]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-eye-twitch-cat-eye-twitch-cat-camera-gif-26361958

I see you are interested in achieving the power of a god

[pale prairie]

Figure out the playstyle that resonates with you the most. Also make sure your melee fundamentals are solid for dodging and maintaining distance. Dont be afraid to cower in cover

[weary idol]

So YOU SEE

[spiral condor]

Its very good

[half pebble]

WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOOOOOOM

[weary idol]

What you do is you take Scrier's Gaze and Disrupt Destiny

you equip a force greatsword

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/station-19-jack-gibson-oh-this-ought-to-be-good-this-is-gonna-be-good-this-will-be-good-gif-3474141641889804598

[weary idol]

and you go mulch every single thing that gets into melee with you

turn them to PASTE

[radiant frigate]

i hate dog but if not running dog i don't see why not just play another class

[hearty wolf]

Break the line

[radiant frigate]

voc

[weary idol]

nuncio

also shock mines

[hearty wolf]

Cringe name+ yellow toughness

Shock mines cringe too

[radiant frigate]

voc be like nuncio and btl in one

with half the cd of nuncio

[hearty wolf]

Nuncio valid but if it dropped a nuke when I place it

It currently does not give the dopamine

We run dogless Arby and we consider tac axe because it's sharp

And decapitation is more fun than bonk

[half pebble]

we are on the same wavelength :)

what about ranged tho?

[weary idol]

a gun

or voidblast staff

[waxen abyss]

Yeah scrier works with staves fine too

But gun is le pewpew

[radiant frigate]

the only good melee on arby

[deft stump]

BTL Mines for the ultimate bulli.

BTL, throw mines, start res.

[hearty wolf]

No mines, I'm writing the backstory of my character rn

It's very tragic which is why I have revive speed curios and +3 stamina

[gray juniper]

I won’t even cap. I hate the damn dog. Countless times I’ve been stuck in place also because it’s eating something in the walkway and I didn’t know 😂

[hearty wolf]

It's in the character backstory lore

Also explains why my dog is not there

It's dead

[weary idol]

I usually use vraks infantry autogun or recon lasgun

You mostly need your gun for the occasional special, and more importantly boss damage

[hearty wolf]

Fuelled by rage (combat ability regen, like blazing piety)

[weary idol]

FGS unyielding damage is its weakest aspect

[gray juniper]

That’s so sad. My arby is a sadistic dominatrix

[ripe obsidian]

What are the lore implications of this?

[radiant frigate]

it means that loose cannon is a better imperial propaganda machine than the police

OOOOOH WE AIN'T DONE YET

[gray juniper]

Vet is a one in a million survivor

“TOOIIMME TAH EARN AH’ PAYYYY”

[hearty wolf]

who is this

They commented on my steam profile 10h ago, what a weird scam

[ripe obsidian]

And here I was thinking they had Mechanicus-improved lungs

[ripe obsidian]

The long-lost princess of an Asian country you've never heard of, now stranded on a ship in international waters, unable to return home. If you transfer her just $1,200 through Steam, she can make it back to her palace and will see you feted as a hero.

[gray juniper]

If you had to pick one personality from each class to be most likely survivor material and form a team with them, who would it be?

[half pebble]

so like, what about general psyker tips? maneuvrability ik and stuff but like are there any things i should be congisant of so I dont hurt my teammates

[ripe obsidian]

The sane Psyker, the professional veteran, probably the drunk zealot, Russian Ogryn, by-the-book Arbitrator

[deft stump]

You already know. All female barring Oggy. Loose Cannon, Fanatic, Loner, Bodyguard and Fatalist.

[gray juniper]

Wait wait wait. Which arbitrator is by the book one?

[hearty wolf]

WAIT IT'S 400

I'VE LOST RUNS TO THIS

:(

[gray juniper]

I feel like that almost describes each of them 😂

[earnest cobalt]

Loner psyker, professional vet, bodyguard ogryn, famatic zealot

[ripe obsidian]

Authoritarian. Male Authoritarian has lines about trying to make friends

[marble crater]

Authority one, surely

[marble crater]

Scammed

[ripe obsidian]

Male Authoritarian is like a new graduate who's trying to be a good person and is excited about his role

[paper oriole]

I have seen a guy on instagram bail out women in arrest so they maybe invite him out for a date

[earnest cobalt]

I can even imagine the hilarious times those four would have

[ripe obsidian]

That's creepy, desperate, and weird.

[radiant frigate]

loner, loose cannon, fanatic, bodyguard, fatalist

[fresh reef]

15.4 hours in Nya Nya Nya Girls

[gray juniper]

Fanatic feels like strongest zealot but also balanced. If not judge is definitely packing the heat

[fresh reef]

Beyond cooked, bro is broiled

Burnt, even

[hearty wolf]

No achievements tho

Clearly not a gamer

[ripe obsidian]

I am just picking the personalities I feel would be least likely to kill me, if I have to be on a team with them.

[earnest cobalt]

I think the judge is more level headed than fanatic, the fanatic is always more agressive

[gray juniper]

Ngl yall. I think bully ogryn lowkey takes the cake on ogryn teamwork. He slick loves his teammates but doesn’t outright admit it

[ripe obsidian]

Bully is the meanest, he says so himself. Grr, scary.

[fresh reef]

Loose Cannon, Judge, Seer, Bully, and Maul all have plot armor

You cannot convince me otherwise

[paper oriole]

Savant, bully, agitator, profesional and fatalist

[gray juniper]

Judge is my fav but I’m not trying to be biased 😉

[gray juniper]

Plot armor is a strong claim but I like it

[earnest cobalt]

My man 🤝

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[gray juniper]

Good list. Male agitator I feel like would get caught slipping by drinking in the job. He loses focus and gets caught by a sniper round 😢

[paper harbor]

markipiler

[gray juniper]

My list would probably be savant psyker, female judge, male cadian, bully ogryn

[paper oriole]

Profesinall and fatalist will keep him in line or be buddy-buddy 🙂

They way he says "templar" makes me think he really likes vets

[gray juniper]

Fatalist is my favorite arby but def feel like he’s literally so fatalist that he bites the dust due to his pessimism

[gray juniper]

Interesting observation. I noticed a lot of zealot characters call vets Templar too

[paper oriole]

Let's hope it's not ... fatal 😎

[vestal trench]

ima be fr after a week of zealot i still dunno why id take it over the cop outside of praxis

[gray juniper]

Fuck no

Those voice lines are solid gold

Especially female judge (whichever is the younger, proper sounding female) those lines are so damn funny in the heat of action

“Beneficent emperor, I never should have doubted”

[deft stump]

Do you just use all the same as i do?

[deft stump]

Dunno. But I assume you are basically asking what ppl use.

[paper oriole]

I run with the cutthroat but I think they would not survive due to drive of vengeance

[ripe obsidian]

If we're asking what people use, then my answers are different across the board.

[radiant frigate]

these are not all my reject picks

[paper oriole]

Other ones feel more level-headed

[radiant frigate]

i run agitator + maul

[ripe obsidian]

I pick the funniest voices for my characters. Or try to. But they are all scary, dysfunctional people who I fear would murder me

[radiant frigate]

rest the ones i listed

[radiant frigate]

cutthroat is actively seeking death

[strong gulch]

IDK what my non-psykers are.

[deft stump]

Oh. I just listed well, my actual rejects, lul.

[gray juniper]

I guess to peoples surprise, I’m not

I use male judge, male seer, bodyguard, male fatalist

BUT I don’t think all of them hold the strongest probability to form a good team or come out alive

[radiant frigate]

loner might not fit well into a team per se

[paper oriole]

Yes, for Cadia 🫡
Never forgetti, plant splitting-etii 😭

[gray juniper]

[deft stump]

Pokeballs?

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/care-bears-care-bears-family-no-heart-run-walk-gif-7380712729856624899

So I should pull out the ultras.

Or better, the inf Masterballs.

[jovial juniper]

Oh

The guy with the filing system?

[half pebble]

what is best blitz?

[gray juniper]

Maul is such a bad personality I’d assume it’s inevitable the rejects abandon him and leave him to die

[paper oriole]

The one you like the most 🙂

[strong gulch]

Assail but you choose blitz based on overall build

[jovial juniper]

Smite but you choose blitz based on build

[paper oriole]

They will shoot into the barrel beside him

[gray juniper]

What exactly are you aiming for?

[gray juniper]

“Oops”

[earnest cobalt]

BR

But its down to your preferences

There is not a fixed 'best' in most PvE games

[strong gulch]

I'm a BB enjoyer and trust it is not BB.

But ye take what you want.

[pale prairie]

Alright today Jormun Bodyguard Ogryn climbs out of fucking Uprising

[earnest cobalt]

U got it

[half pebble]

uh force ig

disrupt destiny + scriers + force greatsword

[nocturne dust]

Typical orc sniper moment

[strong gulch]

That's right side so assail

[pale prairie]

Purple Orc?

[weary idol]

assail

[earnest cobalt]

I recommend assail and BB for your case

[weary idol]

also has very good natural synergy with fgs

since fgs attacks faster immediately after being drawn

BB is completely worthless for a scriers psyker

it's worthless for staff psykers too tbf

they just run it because all blitzes don't help with staff and BB does something passively

[strong gulch]

Not worthless on all staves but typically assail is not taken for meta staff builds.

[weary idol]

mostly because they want psykinetic's aura

[half pebble]

how do you use assail?

[gray juniper]

Don’t let your bias steer new players away from good versatility use 😐 ☝️

[half pebble]

as in, what's the use case?

[sinful peak]

clear hordes/gunners, build up peril and that talent that gives bonus dmg on warp kills

[weary idol]

clears anything that isn't carapace/unyielding

easily stacks malefic momentum in hordes

https://fximgur.com/a/6CvTxPn use it frequently between FGS swings

makes you attack faster, and adds assails damage to your horde combo

[spiral condor]

Throw at any mooks to rack up kills if using momentum and use it to stun specials for a second. At least thats how I use it. Also the shards try to go where you are looking.

[nocturne dust]

You can quick swap, you can also do big loads of assail

[weary idol]

right click assail can also one shot a lot of shit on crit

plus it flies faster

[nocturne dust]

It works either way, you just need to be using it frequently and generally whenever an enemy isn't in stabbing distance

[weary idol]

it regens fast so you best be chucking those suckers all the time

[ripe obsidian]

Never don't be assailing.

[half pebble]

mario if he was a pirate:

[ripe obsidian]

[nocturne dust]

I mean, you'd be surprised

Way easier to have an overkill motor you ripped off something else/was already being manufactured

They let you do it if you're a small indie company, grab em by the mechanical jaw

[ripe obsidian]

Just have fewer than 15 full-time employees and name yourself an LLC. Get away with anything

[woeful sigil]

how is it with the 10% rending on over 75% peril perk

[patent jacinth]

No difference

[woeful sigil]

I'm looking to get that perk but its such a stretch from my build

[patent jacinth]

Because that talent blows

[woeful sigil]

I'm curious cause I've found a way to manage a 100% peril play style

[jovial juniper]

Yeah uh
It's not good

[patent jacinth]

Yeah its called Scriers Gaze

[woeful sigil]

I have that on but mainly for the movement speed buff it gives

[patent jacinth]

And for the rending question, Assail has a base cara ADM of .05

[woeful sigil]

oh

[weary idol]

bad

predictably

since that rending is bad

[patent jacinth]

While taking Penetration of the Soul will increase you damage against carapace by 200%

Its 200% of like 5 damage

sorry 12

[woeful sigil]

I still think it might be worth getting it, but I gotta try it first

[ripe obsidian]

That perk is garbage

Do not use it

It's like a sub-1% damage increase

[gray juniper]

You’re wasting your time to be completely honest about it. Points are better spent elsewhere

[ripe obsidian]

Rather, use it if you want to not pick Empyric Resolve

[woeful sigil]

when you got empowered psyonics that give guarenteed free assail on rager/shotgunner kill it might be insane to have those bouncing around armoured units with rending

just a thought

[patent jacinth]

Its 10% rending

Not enough to matter

[jovial juniper]

Try it

[patent jacinth]

Here is the Assail ADM table

[woeful sigil]

I just saw a video where it stacks each hit

so it shouldn't be too bad

[ripe obsidian]

10% rending doesn't even do anything useful with most Psyker stuff because your ADM is already great on non-carapace

[jovial juniper]

Please disregard the 6 people telling you it's bad

[patent jacinth]

All types you use assail against have upward of a .75 ADM

[jovial juniper]

Use it

[sinful peak]

they just gatekeeping

[jovial juniper]

Oh also disregard all testing done by those 6 people

[ripe obsidian]

I have a video somewhere of that node changing soulblaze damage from like 492 DPS to 498.

[patent jacinth]

Oh shit you got your embeds

nice

[jovial juniper]

[woeful sigil]

trust but verify, I'll take your guys's word for it but I have a hunch it may actaully be useful simply with the amount of assail I have been puking out lately

actually infinite assail at 100% peril

[quartz barn]

isnt the stacked dmg only like 360?

[patent jacinth]

Its like a 13% damage increase against flak and infested specifically

[quartz barn]

crushers on damn have 3600 health..

[patent jacinth]

Versus unarmored and maniac its like 2.5% or something

For a buff with pretty terrible uptime its just really not worth it, especially if you're going out of your way

[gray juniper]

What is adm?

[patent jacinth]

Armor damage modifier

[inner sphinx]

any early psyker build for leveling ?

[woeful sigil]

also I use the first version of the blaze greatsword with maxed move speed, and if I can get that heavy impact hit to do even more its gonna be insane

[patent jacinth]

Just grab the rightmost blitz Assail

On lower difficulties you can just puke shards everywhere and win because they have damage scaled for Damnation by default

[woeful sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-tickle-cat-tickle-chuddyfan-thomas-jefferson-gif-15541031946739484981

[inner sphinx]

oh okay got u

[strong gulch]

Mostly assail (right blitz / green node)

Try out different weapons as you get them but don't worry about gear too much because it get's better with your level and what you have access to changes. Plus staves suck without high investment.

Psyker feels bad until nearly maxed level.

[ripe obsidian]

As the Scolipede said, armor damage modifier. Rending is armor ignore. But if your ADM is already 100%, then you can't ignore any more armor, so the effectiveness drops to like 1% per 100 rending

Or some similarly low number

I don't have the math in front of me

[radiant frigate]

25% effectiveness so 100% adm + 100% rending is total 125% damage

[woeful sigil]

I think I was just brain bursting while hiding behind team mates until around level 15

[gray juniper]

You could also try partial anything from the pins to see how the blitzes and abilities work. Fragile health and careful play are constant regardless of your level, so it’s good practice in a sense

[ripe obsidian]

25% is higher than I thought, honestly.

[gray juniper]

No that’s fine. I really just wanted to check what the abbreviation was to be sure I’m following along

[woeful sigil]

if we become good enough psykers do we become gray knights

[quartz barn]

no you become a bubble boi

[candid temple]

Too old, p sure?

[gray juniper]

Bubble b*tch lugging the bubble

Ngl I started to actually like bubble. It has a ton of defensive value against really annoying things

[quartz barn]

offensive bubble is great

Also bubble

Shotguns? Surprisingly also bubble

Dogs though??? Just pray

dogs

wish you were using smoke grenades instead

sad

2 psykers

bubble and walls

vet cosmetics with cigarette packs now grant dog immunity

Bubble to keep teammates alive. Like babyproofing a house

🚬 light up to scare away the pox

[proper osprey]

Assail

You don’t bubble you assail

And gaze

You ball

[strong gulch]

Then the cats somehow fine a way to get into the walls.

[ripe obsidian]

I am not brave enough to Gaze in H40 yet.

I feel like a rebel whenever I use Shriek, though

Stickin' it to the meta

[strong gulch]

you can bubble knight

I'll go purg

or VB if not red

[calm sapphire]

doing a gunker h40 in pubs is rough

[verbal thistle]

its fun

I use double barrel

obscurus

[ripe obsidian]

You're also better than me, Ainz

[strong gulch]

Same lmao

[proper osprey]

Gaze is fun you just gotta be patient

I did a run with it a couple times

[strong gulch]

Ainzcurus

[proper osprey]

Ex) assail the line of shooters

Don’t think you’re a zealot

Uh

Dodge

Pray

[ripe obsidian]

I am content in the knowledge that I am a distinctly mid H40 player.

[calm sapphire]

I get it though running scriers in high havoc leaves no room for error ngl

positioning got to be spot on the money

[pale prairie]

Yeah unless they just never use it -_-

[proper osprey]

This

I ate shit because I got 2 bursters exploded on me

When I did tac axe melee psyker

[calm sapphire]

does block efficiency on curios affect KD?

[proper osprey]

I did the most damage tho

[pale prairie]

“I am but a silver medalist Olympic athlete. A man of the people if you will. Common stock”

[ripe obsidian]

Gotta predict the silliest thing a teammate can do in any given moment. Put the bubble where they will be

[ripe obsidian]

Yes. But pick stamina, not block %

[pale prairie]

Damn I think you just told me to git gud

[ripe obsidian]

Stamina affects KD more

If you are going that path, at least.

[calm sapphire]

yeah

[upper sun]

i LOVE boltpistol so much bros............

[pale prairie]

What’s not to love?

[ripe obsidian]

KD's peril cost is based on the % max stamina a block would cost. So if you have 5 stamina, it's 40% less peril gen than if you have 3 stamina

[proper osprey]

I stopped melee psyker for a bit in havoc i just went back to zealot

[calm sapphire]

running KD so I'm gonna ditch 3x gunner res for ability cd xD for havoc

[ripe obsidian]

Eh, I use 3x gunner, 3x toughness, 3x cdr

[dull scroll]

KD deflector and shriek is very memeable

[ripe obsidian]

And then 1x HP+2x toughness for the big ones

[calm sapphire]

im so tired of bubble spam on havoc ngl

[ripe obsidian]

I just put stamina on my melee, since I try not to use it too often on Staffker

[dull scroll]

don't have to, I spam shriek day in day out in 40s now

[ripe obsidian]

I pick Bubble if I want an easier game. I pick Shriek if I want to have a funnier game.

[dull scroll]

the thing I found out is, bubble is really there to help your melee teammates, you as a ranged build can easily survive without it

[tulip kettle]

bubble is " i want to try and win without abslutely sweating about a single shooter catching me out for the next 40 minutes "

[dull scroll]

that 1 dmg taken game earlier was a shriek game

[tulip kettle]

shriek is "i just want everything to die before its a problem, but maybe we all die to a firing squad"

[calm sapphire]

yes

bubble shines more when you or your team is tunnel visioned into focusing bosses while everything else is trying to kill u

[tulip kettle]

i WISH my team would focus the bosses when im playing psyker

no dude, i dont need help clearing the fucking poxwalkers rn, HIT THE FUCKING BOSS

[dull scroll]

they don't understand, if the boss is not on me I kill the rest of the map

but nooo I need to swipe these chaffs

they are in my face

[tulip kettle]

i need to actively run 15m away from the boss to the spawn door to kill the pox as they come out of it

psyker will just brainburst the plogryns and captain right?

[ripe obsidian]

But you might need help, and the boss is scarier than poxwalkers

[tulip kettle]

i can lie it really does seem like thats the story of most of the fail games

[upper sun]

chat whats wrong with this picture?

[tulip kettle]

"the scary stuff is scary so im gonna avoid it, focus on meleeing the poxwalkers behind us and make sure im never at the front. Thats what my job is as ogryn, the psyker should be up front tanking the armour blob"

[dull scroll]

3 shots, should be 4 😏

[tulip kettle]

you killed everything so hard it was banished back to the warp?

[upper sun]

yes

[tulip kettle]

or maybe that nurgle stole your texture resolution

not sure tbh

[vestal trench]

this has been most of my event missions in auric/damnation if im doing it solo and not with a grp

[ripe obsidian]

"The Psyker is probably okay alone against those 30 crushers. I don't want to get overheaded. Better if I stay over here."

[calm sapphire]

Arby +15% clip size, rounded up.

3 shots

[tulip kettle]

or "they likely arent fine, but at least they die instead of me and i can blame them because im still alive, maybe even clean up the rest after the psyker burned them all"

[ripe obsidian]

I am always grateful when I have an Ogryn without Rumbler who actually wants to play the tanky protector role

[vestal trench]

(bonus points if it's an arby doing this)

[tulip kettle]

Tr0LLpL4Yer: Lol why didnt you dodge the overhead, skill issue

[ripe obsidian]

Tbh I would rather have most classes other than Arby on my team at this point, unless I know who it is. Arby seems to be the king of "I'm gonna fuck off and do my own thing"

and even if i know who it is im thinking "could you just, not"

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah. I'm growing more and more frustrated with Arbiters.

[tulip kettle]

thats my dmg man i dont want your dog stealing my procs

[ripe obsidian]

If they're good and slaughter bosses, fine. But that's the minority

Most just want to decimate hordes and get green circles

[vestal trench]

whats arby's death to bosses option outside of bolter?

[tulip kettle]

playing zel with throwing knives with dog arbs makes me want to gouge my eyes out

[ripe obsidian]

Headshots count as stagger, dog damage, loads of grenades, insanely high base damage on their weapons, tons of damage boost talents

[dull scroll]

skullcrusher, even better than bolter

[vestal trench]

takin notes

[ripe obsidian]

I've never seen an Arby use bolter

[tulip kettle]

arb nades, dogsplosion, bleed, hits count as stagger + skullcrusher, its hard to build an arb that doesnt have good boss dps

[gray juniper]

Is this not most teams?

[vestal trench]

bc im getting so underwhelmed by my zealot that im gonna pick arbites back up

[ripe obsidian]

I've seen good Arbiters do like 500k boss damage in a 35 minute H40

[vestal trench]

probs crusher + lone wolf

[vestal trench]

i hate when god has favorites

[dull scroll]

but yeah, if you really want to meme arby boss dmg, skullcrusher + bolter

[ornate hamlet]

bro is not using the mod to colour stimms

[dull scroll]

once you see that 8 stacks, switch to bolter and unload

[gray juniper]

This man

[tulip kettle]

i have been finding charge better than taunt when i play ogryn precisely because i want to be the tanky guy up front and charge lets me always be at the front knocking down the ogryns and elites

[gray juniper]

Let me know if you find a zealot type trick to avoiding the long draw out of the weapon

[vestal trench]

the trick is being god's favorite

[tulip kettle]

Why cant the arbs i see spam BTL 5m in front of the squad and help them kill everything together then move forward in the same way, instead of either;
hiding behind everyone shotgunning hordes and targeting the dog on stuff that is low priority,
or using BTL to knock down the armour blob then run past it to repeat on the next one, and then the next one, as the team is still trying to deal with the first

and who cares about a long pull out time if you either knock everything around you down first or just cant take fking dmg after pushing once

[ornate hamlet]

If things were any different, they wouldn't be the same

[vestal trench]

arbitrator zorin pullout game

maybe i name my arby zorinpulloutgame instead if zorinbathwater

[hearty wolf]

Uhh nighttime darktide thoughts. I was thinking I would rather have hp curio for eating a pox burster than toughness

Why does my brain think this when there is so many tdr nodes

is brain broken?

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/tasty-pulp-fiction-beverage-drink-samuel-l-jackson-gif-15381845487398406049

have you considered not eating multiple poxbursters?

[hearty wolf]

I need to melee kill them

[tulip kettle]

i think you need to play a class with gold toughness if this is your goal

[hearty wolf]

sure but

why does brain think this

is toughness truly superior

[tulip kettle]

well you were right

in that hp would help you better survive bursters

[hearty wolf]

but tdr nodes should give you more survivability no?

[tulip kettle]

i dont think so

[hearty wolf]

hm

[tulip kettle]

i think bursters always break your toughness like burgle attacks

but im not sure tbh

[hearty wolf]

@summer prairie hello

so do they even respect toughness at all

or

what

[tulip kettle]

i seem to recall that they dont care about it and always break it unless its gold

[hearty wolf]

but will it influence the bleed through to hp

[tulip kettle]

but i could easily be wrong

[hearty wolf]

we will find out soon

I plan on scrapping my hp curio anyway

I just want to know why I think it's so valuable

[ripe obsidian]

They don't always. But they have like 300% toughness damage

Or some absurd multiplier

And like Snipers, they have full damage spillover, so anything left goes to health, just without the modifier

[hearty wolf]

Do snipers also have toughness damage multiplier?

or anything else in the game?

[dull scroll]

don't know about bursters but the 1 hp curio will make a difference in sniper one-shot in h40

I tested it before

[jovial juniper]

Yes

10x against toughness

Full spillover

[hearty wolf]

OOOF

DAMN

[ripe obsidian]

Sorry, 1000% multiplier

    ignore_stagger_reduction = true,
    ignore_stun_immunity = true,
    interrupt_alternate_fire = true,

    ragdoll_push_force = 1200,
    stagger_category = "ranged",
    suppression_value = 3,
    toughness_multiplier = 10,```

[hearty wolf]

I see

So my vibe based math is correct

i didn't realise it was so severe tho

[tulip kettle]

apparently it has different profiles depending on how close you are

the permanent damage ratio is 0.5 on close explosions

[ripe obsidian]

    block_cost_multiplier = 15,
    disorientation_type = "sniper",
    interrupt_alternate_fire = true,
    ogryn_disorientation_type = "sniper",
    on_depleted_toughness_function_override_name = "all_damage_spill_over",
    ragdoll_push_force = 2000,
    stagger_category = "ranged",
    suppression_value = 5,
    toughness_multiplier = 10,```

https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/72cde1c088677d22b3830d9681d015167782b10a/scripts/settings/damage/damage_profiles/minion_damage_profile_templates.lua#L1274

[tulip kettle]

damage_templates.poxwalker_explosion = {
ignore_stagger_reduction = true,
ignore_stun_immunity = true,
interrupt_alternate_fire = true,
on_depleted_toughness_function_override_name = "all_damage_spill_over",
override_allow_friendly_fire = true,
permanent_damage_ratio = 0.35,
ragdoll_push_force = 1200,
stagger_category = "ranged",
suppression_value = 3,
toughness_multiplier = 10,
cleave_distribution = {
attack = 0.15,
impact = 0.3,

damage_templates.poxwalker_explosion_close = {

on_depleted_toughness_function_override_name = "all_damage_spill_over",

stagger_category = "ranged",
suppression_value = 3,
toughness_multiplier = 10,
cleave_distribution = {
attack = 0.15,
impact = 0.3,

this suggests they are the same

but they arent

[gray juniper]

Def not

[tulip kettle]

its also always worth pointing out that decompiled source code is not necessarily the same as the actual source code

[gray juniper]

Very obvious on explosion is further it throws you and greater damage

[tulip kettle]

oh also that that part of the code on github hasnt been updated in over a year

[hearty wolf]

So I wonder if the director spawns more snipers and pox bursters if people have more toughness instead of hp

[tulip kettle]

i have no idea about if that sort of stuff is implemented in this game

it is possible that this sort of thing could be implemented though

same as it is possible that enemy spawns change based on the perks on the weapons equipped by the players in the match, for example

i have no thoughts on if that is or isnt the case, but its certainly possible to do

[thorn cedar]

the only "what if" in my head is the feeling that a special successfully downing a player results in the director going "Holy SHIT that worked SEND IN FIFTY MORE"

[tulip kettle]

i just see the bursters behaving so strangely behind walls near spawn doors based on different players movements it makes me laugh

sometimes they clearly are just targeted assassins for one player and actively avoid going near the door while other players are near it for example

watch the burster run near the door, then run away, repeat for literally 2 minutes, then it sees its chance comes sprinting out round a corner past one player to dive on the other guy the momment they turned around

[thorn cedar]

there's definitely some oddities in a couple specific map spots regarding the burster leap

namely sycorax in the ... uhhh

... library ... staircase ... place

[tulip kettle]

cryo rods mission on the mid event with the tiers

[thorn cedar]

where you descend three or four levels before reaching the end event room

for some reason just one of those levels, bursters will run at you and never fucking leap

[tulip kettle]

they act SO STRANGELY around the bottom spawn doors

its really obvious with danger zone you can see them just chilling silently for minutes at a time, waiting for the person stood there waiting to push them to get bored and do something else

[ripe obsidian]

Power distribution

Lines 1380 vs 1512

And 1373 vs 1497

I don't know the full implications, but those are the differences

[tulip kettle]

power_distribution = {
attack = 125,
impact = 20,
},
},
},
power_distribution = {
attack = 20,
impact = 10,

        power_distribution = {
            attack = 0.5,
            impact = 20,
        },
    },
},
power_distribution = {
    attack = 20,
    impact = 10,
},

first is close profile, just posting directly here for later

seems like the knockback is the same at all distances, and the damage scales from 125 to 0.5 based on distance

i assume based on that this is not a binary thing and is some sort of sliding scale

[ripe obsidian]

damage_templates.poxwalker_explosion_close.power_distribution = {
attack = 30,
impact = 50,
}

[vestal trench]

o holy shit arby crusher got hands

[tulip kettle]

its also extremely difficult to work out how the actual damage is applied to toughness and then hp

[tulip kettle]

skullcrusher is a hell of a drug

[vestal trench]

what frame is this?

[tulip kettle]

we know that, it has full hp spillover, it applies variable percentages of the HP damage as direct corruption, it does 1000% damage to toughness, and does 125 damage base

looks like one of the new arb ones

[tulip kettle]

based on this, and the fact that classes have variable TDR, total toughness, corruption resistance and HP

its pretty safe to say its always going to be better getting total HP and corruption resistance over more toughness to survive poxbursters specifically

@hearty wolf theres your answer, max HP and corruption resist is always going to make you more survivable than more max toughness vs poxbursters specifically. The best survivability is preventing all HP damage spillover aka gold toughness

[tulip kettle]

based on already having corruption etc

[unborn stag]

Simpler times

[tulip kettle]

also this

poxwalker_bomber = {
damage_falloff = false,
radius = 6,
scalable_radius = true,
min_radius = 3,
close_radius = 3,
collision_filter = "filter_minion_explosion",
override_friendly_fire = true,
min_close_radius = 0.5,
close_damage_profile = DamageProfileTemplates.poxwalker_explosion_close,
damage_profile = DamageProfileTemplates.poxwalker_explosion,
vfx = {
"content/fx/particles/explosions/poxwalker_explode"
},
sfx = {
"wwise/events/minions/play_explosion_bomber",
"wwise/events/weapon/play_explosion_refl_gen"
}

between 0.5 and 3 uses close profile then 3 to 6 uses the regular profile

it is also a "scalable radius"

[vestal trench]

[tepid python]

polandball is ancient tier

[glossy ridge]

What curios to put

[plucky flax]

Whatever you want.

[sinful olive]

For havoc, triple toughness+ cooldown recovery/gunner resist/corruption resist is what I run.

Some people like having a 3 stam one

[glossy ridge]

Thanks!

[sinful olive]

For everything outside of havoc, enough health/sniper res to avoid sniper oneshots is something I see a lot. I personally don't change my curios outside of a 2nd set with ordo dockets replacing corruption res

More money good

[plucky flax]

Corruption

[sinful olive]

After going through some havoc missions with puke bomb mobs/gas bombers/gas vents out the ass I find it very nice tbh

No clue if it's the best option tho

[weary idol]

corruption res is alright

the main thing you want it for is so that you don't get 2 tapped by poxbursters

that+max health both contribute to it

[plucky flax]

I just don't play pox gas havoc missions.

[sinful olive]

I feel like a lot of the secondary stats are preference really, only a few options that are 100% ass for psyker

[plucky flax]

No green stims make it too hard.

I play havoc without any gunner resistance.

[weary idol]

No green stimms or it's that god fucking awful one that also spawns packs of tox bombers

Y'know

The most dangerous special unit in the game

[sinful olive]

I would hate tox bombers a lot less if the radius or the duration was lowered a bit

[weary idol]

or if it didn't disable ping outlines in the cloud and also reduce my toughness gain by 30%

and also make enemies harder to cleave and faster

[sinful olive]

Mhm

[weary idol]

and all this coming from a specialist with bugged audio that gets quieter over distance

so they frequently don't play any fucking audio at all when throwing it

[dull scroll]

I have not seen a gas modifier in ages

wonder if it's luck or something else

[sinful olive]

I played one today

[plucky flax]

It's usually h30 and h35.

Sometimes h40 but nobody dared to play it.

We're pro so we only play h40 and we don't really get it.

[sinful olive]

Clearing one of those on 40 was such a sweatfest

Still would take it over rituals

Any fucking day

[plucky flax]

[sinful olive]

Listen I know it's awful but I'd rather deal with that than what feels like a 1 in 3 chance of the game just killing your run

[potent echo]

The ritual bunny leap is heretical meta

Not to mention upstairs/downstairs rituals

[weary idol]

I LOVE smelter complex rituals

I LOVE excisve vault rituals starting before the fucking elevator doors even open

[sinful olive]

[unborn stag]

Played me some Psyker.. never again.

[potent echo]

Did the devs any of this? Rhetorical question

[weary idol]

I also LOVE that every single one of the fucking things is both ontop of a normal DH spawn location and a boss trigger

[plucky flax]

Tru is really bad class.

[weary idol]

So you can go to clear one

It spawns twins+burgle, and a DH spawned under it

Have fun :)

All my games last 16 ~ 23 mins.

Me speed run rushing Xd

[sinful olive]

Mostly it feels like a nice respite from grinding havocs

[plucky flax]

I run so far ahead then some guy almost always try to match, get netted/dogged and die then leave.

Is funny Xd

I itentionally don't try to save them to see if they would leave the game or not.

[sinful olive]

Is there a go fast build you're using or are we just slide spamming and tech deck flipping through enemies with a staff build?

If it's some dagger movement fuckery I'd probably just scrape a crusher's armor with it, dodge too far from a trapper net off a ledge and die

[plucky flax]

Just right side fgs.

Or I play arby and just hold w.

Recon las assails fgs gaze (with speed)

[sinful olive]

God arby is such a nice break from psyker sometimes

That one pinned build in the arbites channel called hitting people I don't like with sticks is good brain rot

[plucky flax]

I don't need any mats so I just keep going without looking at boxes.

[sinful olive]

Yeah same boat, just need dockets these days to finish out mastery for every weapon

[glossy ridge]

Is there a cap on toughness?

[plucky flax]

L game cos I got ledged by plague ogryn.

But it's all under 20 mins lul

3 games had 1 guy ragequitted after dying. Xd

[sinful olive]

Don't believe so, but toughness is hardcore reduced in high havoc, so is health

Basically in havoc 40 the name of the game is don't get hit at all

[sinful olive]

The fgs looks extremely fun but after force sword and ds4 it feels like putting on training weights

[plucky flax]

What? No?

I play fgs melee build in h40 too.

It's so op.

But you die if you get hit once.

If you host your own games it's free practice.

[sinful olive]

Tru

[nocturne dust]

so op
you die if you get hit

Pick one

[plucky flax]

Psyker is just squishy tho in havoc.

So no way to change that.

But you're in melee with a fgs build so there's more chance of dying.

aight

[deft stump]

Fart gas missions as well.

[ripe obsidian]

I am probably unintentionally copying you

[ripe obsidian]

Flak+crit or Flak+unyielding on staff is usually better. I prefer the latter for boss damage.

Sword, I use maniac+stamina, because stamina has an outsized effect on Kinetic Deflection

Unrelated: Mortis Trials are particularly frustrating when you get ridiculously bad indulgences. I just want the dang penance completion, but all I get is "5% chance to shock on hit" or "-25% damage taken if an enemy is shocked" or "-90% damage taken from flamers." Bleh.

[ripe obsidian]

You should consider it.

[pine shore]

it's insanely outdated

[weary idol]

yeah

[deft stump]

5% shock on melee is good?

[weary idol]

wow cool thanks for literally every fucking effect that I can make use of when an enemy is shocked

problem

[deft stump]

It's the combo with 5% insta kill if targeted.

Fulminator is the worst of it when it comes to shit modifiers though

That archetype has so many trash modifier

But then it also has +5 toughness when any burning or electrified enemy is nearby

Which is hilariously overpowered

fire one is almost always good

The only things that have felt fun in Mortis are fire or unlimited grenade spam

[weary idol]

death dealer is the real fun archetype

can't go wrong taking a crit build and rocking that

[paper oriole]

That’s shockingly bad 🫣

[sacred surge]

Healing nades good too

[weary idol]

live the reality fatshark denies veteran players by having every crit be a free bullet

[raven mountain]

10-man brain burst ep with multiple ability charges.

[deft stump]

I just take colossus and play team mom Vet and pray for heal 'nades.

Bubble nades also nice.

[weary idol]

bubble nades on smokes

wow the better psyker bubble summons a psyker bubble

very cool

[deft stump]

GLARES AT TRAPPERS.

[deft stump]

Is funni.

[weary idol]

and then the game gives you electric smoke and you carry the entire team

[sacred surge]

Think i build melee psyker.

[weary idol]

yeah that sounds like a good idea

[paper oriole]

Fellow colossus enthusiast 😎

[deft stump]

Triple shout is also good. >_>

Heal 'nades, triple shout and bubble 'nades, "NO DYIN' TILL I SAY SO!" indeed.

Also removing corruption to heal with 'nades.

[paper oriole]

Have you tried triple book chant?
Enemies parlayed for over 15 seconds is very fun 😁

[deft stump]

Yes, also removing corruption.

What's medicae?

Throws stun. Everyone hp goes up.

WHAT'S MEDICAE?

[paper oriole]

I AM MEDICAE

[ripe obsidian]

It feels like every Mortis game I end up with 0 damage perks at wave 10 and am slapping enemies with a wet noodle

[deft stump]

I ran that when doing stun 'nade penances.

Was funni.

Though I think it was 20 sec 'nade regen, heal on 'nade and corruption removal on book.

But that was still a kinda book spam build so...

[glossy ridge]

For curios is it okay if i go all toughness including sub stat

[pine oyster]

If psyker gets a rework in the future, what would you like to see changed?

Me, personally, I'd like it if Smite were made useful outside of stunning and staggering.

[radiant frigate]

smite is plenty lethal with EP

[pine shore]

I'd like to see all staves perform well. That's all I want

Currently voidstrike is just dogshit

surge is just not very good

purgatus is insane because of blaze away giving 40% free strength

[paper oriole]

I did it also while doing this penance and fire nades one

Fells like the best way to do it + mortis is a fine mode to take a break from normal ones

[deft stump]

I mean, better than 3 'nades whole mission, right?

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

[pine shore]

that's what most do anyway

Including myself

[paper oriole]

Or just running ahead and stealing all the nades

[deft stump]

To be fair, I play at hours where I can solo on any diff that isn't auric or damn.

Just go solo malice mortis for easy penances.

All 'nade boxes.

[ornate hamlet]

Man this cliffhanger penace is impossible to get, already been at it for a day and still can't even get it

[marble crater]

[paper oriole]

Try station viligus ending event (forgot the exact name of the map it is the one where you hack to extend the bridge to a room then hack again)

I did it on the extended bridges with a friend

[marble crater]

Vigil Station

[paper oriole]

Yes, this one, thanks for correcting 🙂

[marble crater]

I still don't know all the map names after way too much playtime

[nocturne dust]

I know every map name. There's 2, Quickplay and Maelstrom.

[paper oriole]

They made map identity so bad in darktide, especially compared to vermintide
Names and too generic and lack identity due to crossing each other

Few stand out - like Archivum sicorax (my beloved) or fully unique ones

[deft stump]

To be fair, I never remembered VT2 map names either.

[nocturne dust]

It doesn't help that they reuse the same map for multiple missions sometimes

[ornate hamlet]

Been doing that but my teammates keep ruining it

[vernal temple]

I keep forgetting. is a 410 +3 stamina a true +3 or an impostor?

[ornate hamlet]

And it's a slog going through the mission just to fail on the last part

[deft stump]

410+ or bust.

400, only like 1% of them are actually +3.

[vernal temple]

so a 410 is guaranteed +3

[deft stump]

Yeah.

[vernal temple]

Nice, thank you

[paper oriole]

If you are okay with waiting tomorrow we can play a private game, I promise no “ruining it” 😇

[paper oriole]

Yes, when you start playing the game it feels like a fever dream - haven’t I been here already? Why I am doing something else right now?

[paper oriole]

Fair enough but I think at least due to varied design after spawning in - be that at the start or mid run - you would know which map is it

[deft stump]

I kinda do though.

In the, I know what to expect.

Just what name, kark do I know.

[paper oriole]

You are good then 😉

[marble crater]

Karien is very pro and the best carry I know

[deft stump]

Oh yeah, WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO MADE THINGS WORSE FOR ME?!

[marble crater]

[paper oriole]

What? How and why 😨?

[deft stump]

You were the cause of that pic Chaos and Beans posted!

[hearty wolf]

Remembering darktide map names

[marble crater]

What pic

[hearty wolf]

Is so much effort

You're literally a sweaty tryhard if you know map names

Even I don't fucking know them

I know Gloriana

And like

Dark communion

The rest fuck knows

You got some Oubillete or something bullshit but idk what map that is

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-relax-relax-guy-relax-trump-south-park-south-park-gif-11752911467702281032

You need to calm down

[paper oriole]

Yes, I am terribly sorry 😦

I am a flawed individual 😓

[paper oriole]

But also you aren’t not beating the allegations ⬆️

[deft stump]

That's malice though. I sometimes do it for On Overwatch for ppl.

[paper oriole]

I hope my silly joke doesn’t cause you discomfort but nonetheless I am sorry 😢

[deft stump]

(It's a gaslight mains thing anyway.)

[paper oriole]

On the other hand writing to someone “you are not a good player” is not ideal :/

I do hope we will find common ground in the future 🙂

[deft stump]

But I am not gud. I just panic and hope things go well.

[hearty wolf]

;(

It's 10am on a Thursday and I slept 3 hours

I want to play Need for Speed

Vroom vroom

[marble crater]

There is no such thing

[paper oriole]

Someone here is an agent of chaos, and has spread it on an agenda 🫥

[marble crater]

Which one

[deft stump]

I mean, we all know that. >_>

[paper oriole]

Fair enough, I have never seen you play but I trust you are not gaslighting

[deft stump]

I would say ask some ppl, but I know they find it funny enough to push it.

Been playing with DT general ppl.

[marble crater]

Watching Karien play will just make you jealous and envious at the same time, you are fortunate you can still experience it for the first time

[ornate hamlet]

Yea, even I've been doing that mission multiple times and just can never get any form of push with the ability

[paper oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/aw-shucks-gif-21150051

[deft stump]

You mean just suck while panicking?

[paper oriole]

For me push attack of FGS or FS + venting did the job

[deft stump]

The only reason it's anything special is because it happens at 300 ping.

[paper oriole]

But I stood there in the horde of pox walkers on the bridge

[deft stump]

Gambling on everything AND the server to not kark up trying.

It's worse on vet where one hit and ded.

Cos I have been hit by overheads that on my screen is happening more than 5m away.

[marble crater]

I can't do that

[deft stump]

And only reason not dead is true grit.

[hearty wolf]

I want to play Rivals again but just got Hot Pursuit remastered since I needed to buy a game to change my steam store back to UK

[marble crater]

Next one is hopefully like those again, and not with those weird comic book effects and cutscenes

[paper oriole]

Sounds like are you playing as an accurate veteran - one with ptds 😆

[marble crater]

Accurate Veterans hit their targets though

[deft stump]

I got more trauma from last night.

Ask Licht.

I thought it would be a duo clutch. Nope.

[marble crater]

Needed to solo clutch again?

[deft stump]

I think I mentioned it last night though.

[marble crater]

I was playing EU4, I didn't really read here

[deft stump]

Oh. But yeah.

Had to clutch the tunnel before the finale on lights out event auric silo.

Licht drew something relating to it as well.

[plucky flax]

Tru

[marble crater]

I don't know who that is, but good job

[paper oriole]

Peak gaming 👌

[marble crater]

Indeed, it was a rough Byz start, but things are somewhat stable now

[paper oriole]

It is called DARKtide for a reason 😁

[deft stump]

Lights out. Nobody saw the clutch so am safe.

They just heard panic from someone realising she's the only one left.

[hearty wolf]

The recent ones have been so bad

It has made me depressed

And it's not like we haven't had some insane cars the past few years

Koenigsegg Gemra for example

[marble crater]

Maybe can't put some cars in the game, because too expensive or not allowed

[tulip kettle]

most wanted was peak NFS

[hearty wolf]

Most wanted was lit

[paper oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/fact-kamalavspence-pence-debate-gif-18725287

[plucky flax]

I prefer carbon

[marble crater]

[upper sun]

if it has bugs i know its name

[hearty wolf]

Ok valid

Hatred it good motivator to learn things

[paper oriole]

I mean, you can learn them repetition - glance at the name during every other loading and you start to learn them just passively

[hearty wolf]

You look at the screen while loading?

I'm in the kitchen

[plucky flax]

https://tenor.com/view/lobster-gif-27544204

[severe folio]

NOOOOO

[hearty wolf]

Bahahahahahaha

I love this

Average darktide pub when they think they run towards a flamer

[marble crater]

I hate this

[upper sun]

me starting darktide

[paper oriole]

I am at my pc 🤷‍♂️

[marble crater]

He needs to make tea, Bri'ish

[paper oriole]

Bottle of water governor

I get him, I also need tea ☕️

[deft stump]

You can when lagging. You gotta pray you ghosted it though.

It's risky.

[plucky flax]

I don't drink tea that much mate.

[paper oriole]

Makes sense, not drinking it is more chaotic 🤭

[deft stump]

You asking me to go to bed more?

[tulip kettle]

[paper oriole]

You said you are not sleeping enough currently , so yes 🙂

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/archer-you-what-huh-gif-19676334

[deft stump]

I sleep enough. Just awkwardly.

[tulip kettle]

not enough fans on

[deft stump]

In like random 2 hour or so blocks.

[deft stump]

It is always 35°C.

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/put-my-head-in-the-oven-kate-kate-foster-workin-moms-613-gif-25385344

[paper oriole]

I heard that you need longer uninterrupted periods for your brain to have a deep rest

[deft stump]

I can't. Caffeine induced sleeps are like that.

[visual phoenix]

Hold me now
Im six feet from the edge and um thinkiiinggg ~~

[hearty wolf]

I wish to know more of your 300ms techniques

[deft stump]

Just 300 ping packet loss gamble.

[tulip kettle]

Master of Mankind, see me!

[hearty wolf]

Gambling sounds fun

Imagine you had a 50% change to miss an enemy you're fighting

But also 50% chance to deal double damage

[patent jacinth]

Voidstrike gameplay

[deft stump]

That's normal. Just no double damage.

[hearty wolf]

😭

[paper oriole]

It’s averages normal damage, in theory at least

[plucky flax]

22 average stacks

[summer prairie]

how about havoc

[plucky flax]

I have not finished a havoc game on bubble knight.

[deft stump]

Is more, I just simply don't hit. I have shot a trapper 8 times and she isn't dead yet.

[plucky flax]

Since the update.

[visual phoenix]

Mod name?

[plucky flax]

But probably sub 10.
