[pale prairie]

She isn’t though

She is fucking batshit

[radiant frigate]

(extremely manipulative psycho half-elf)

[pale prairie]

But HaWt

[radiant frigate]

she did not make it past act 3

[ripe obsidian]

Shadowheart was part of my main party in BG3. I liked her questline a lot... up until the fight at the end, in the temple in act 3. My party was just not built with enough AoE to handle that many enemies.

[radiant frigate]

that fight was a lot of fun for me the first time i ran into it

[pale prairie]

Yeaaaaaaa sociopathic serial killers are…problematic when they aren’t me

[radiant frigate]

why's that? darkness comp :)

[ripe obsidian]

Fair

Darkness is silly.

[radiant frigate]

like

ok you cast a bunch of darkness on us

[marble crater]

I saw act 3, so I'm not reading that because of spoilers

[radiant frigate]

3/4 of us can see perfectly fine

[ripe obsidian]

I made the mistake of copying my D:OS2 party composition, more or less, which was focused on extremely high single target damage and resets

[radiant frigate]

shoutout to shadow monk

[ripe obsidian]

But 5e says, "Have you heard of action economy?"

[radiant frigate]

very workable with the right maneuvering

[pale prairie]

That boss fight is very fun. All the act 3 ones are pretty good. Even more when you download mods to take it beyond honor mode

[ripe obsidian]

I did not do the right maneuvering, then

I could kill like 3-4 enemies before they got a turn, then they would wipe out half my party before I got to move again

[pale prairie]

Shoutout to shadow monk/thief rogue

[radiant frigate]

my beloved

[pale prairie]

Lmao

[pale prairie]

Well you just piss off every AI director don’t you?

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

And most people, too. I am markedly unlikeable. :D

Mostly because of extreme social anxiety, but y'know

[pale prairie]

I mean I like you

Just saying the robots HATE you

[ripe obsidian]

I probably deserve their ire for what I did to enemies in D:OSII

At least the Larian robots

[pale prairie]

There’s a particular act 3 fight that makes me glad when I choose the Half orc ancestry

[ripe obsidian]

I think my party there usually finished fights before the enemies got a turn

[pale prairie]

Ah mastery of the system

[ripe obsidian]

It was satisfying

Hold on, lemme find my half-orc's picture.

[pale prairie]

The first time playing a divinity by Larian when I realized you could light up oil or electrify water

This will not sound like a compliment but it is: you make characters like my brother haha

[ripe obsidian]

Elaborate?

[iron scroll]

Hello everyone, i would like to ask a question about the flame staff: i have seen people talking about the warp resistance, some use less warp resistance others use up to 60%, what is the optimal way to use It then?

[ripe obsidian]

So it's important to note here that the optimal way to play Psyker is edging peril. Preferably at 80%+, but 60% or higher is also good. The reason for this is that many talents and blessings get significant boosts from being at high peril. Inferno staff is, in general, slow at generating peril as compared with other staves. This means that if you drop peril for any reason, whether Venting Shriek or downtime or whatever else, it can be difficult to get back to optimal peril. This issue is worse when you pick Empyric Resolve, which is 40% slower peril generation.

As such, depending on build and playstyle, it can be desirable to have lower Warp Resist in order to quickly generate more peril.

You will see a similar thing with Force swords, where dumping Warp Resist means you can do one special attack and get like 50% or more peril instantly

Personally, I find 40% or so Warp Resist ideal with an Empyric Resolve + Bubble Inferno staff, and 60% Warp Resist with Shriek + no Empyric Resolve. But it's gonna end up being preference in the end.

There are some breakpoints you can shoot for, like I almost always do 2 manual quell ticks when I hit 100% peril, so I pick a Warp Resist that will allow me to get 3 more pumps of Inferno in before I have to quell again. If I went lower, I would only be able to do 2. I think it's 3. Might be 2 and 1.

So in short, pick a level of Warp Resist that allows you to comfortably stay at high peril without blowing up.

What that level is depends on the user

[strong gulch]

Yeah, there's a degree of preference involved as well. The agreed upon dump is WR.

But like mentioned it depends on build and playstyle on how much you dump. I'd also say it depends on if high havoc or not.

[iron scroll]

Thanks friends for the insight 😀 👍

He loves to make wild color combinations with skin and hair. He made a dark yellow orc with bright red almost pink facial hair and topknot

[strong gulch]

I wanna restart BG3.

[pale prairie]

Can’t find any pictures but check out one of my characters wearing helms

[strong gulch]

I had a pale githyanki with light warm pick curly hair. I enjoy character creation, BUT I want to play as a starting character.

[pale prairie]

Yeah I’ve been doing astarion runs

[strong gulch]

Sure I can chagnge their appearence but it's not the same.

[pale prairie]

I want to be vampire god. The min maxing warms my heart

[ripe obsidian]

My general character building philosophy is, "What would be funniest without being outright stupid?"

[strong gulch]

I might do shadowheart and try to romance karlach.

[ripe obsidian]

Karlach is the best.

[pale prairie]

Might I introduce path of the giants “just throwing everyone” build

[ripe obsidian]

I did the entire Goblin fortress in act 1 by throwing every single enemy into the bottomless pits

No idea how much loot I lost

But I never raised the alarm. Just grabbed and threw

[strong gulch]

When my partner and I played, we messed up the romance timeline and never got it but we also did didn't properly romance any character.

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/prince-of-egypt-sacrifices-must-be-made-pharaoh-seti-i-pharaoh-gif-16912373

[strong gulch]

throwing is best

best as in favorite

[pale prairie]

Lmao “romance timeline” yeah it was janky for while

When I play with honor mode friends we just razz anyone who gets a romance

[strong gulch]

We ended up just putting goblin bodies in our pockets and tossing them around.

"They're free. You can just take them."

[pale prairie]

I fucking have the tentacle achievement because one of my friends thought it was hilarious

[pale prairie]

If you ever run necromancer a corpse chest is essential. My weak ass wizard carried giant strength elixirs so he could carry bodies to his camp chest that smelled…off

[strong gulch]

When you're too dumb to open a chest but you can just put the whole thing in your pocket for later.

I should replay BG3. I ran out of steam in act 3, as I do with basically every game I play

Shenpai's BG3 run in a nutshell.

[pale prairie]

I still have an act 1/2 honor mode run I have to finish with some friends. It’s our second time so we kind of slowed down

[pale prairie]

Pffff pure peak is murdering with the dried salami

[jovial juniper]

Meme 4 bards

[pale prairie]

Especially when the no charisma characters blunder into important convos first

[vestal trench]

as someone who's attention span is so fried i cant sit and finish a crpg solo, this was the only way i could do it

it's hilarious and we've done it 3 times

[radiant frigate]

Hello
Can i ask mom to talk to you instead?

[vestal trench]

the mod that allows more party members is a godsend for seeing more of the companions' stories though

[radiant frigate]

💀

[vestal trench]

we also ended that first campaign by cheesing the final fight with barrels LOL

[strong gulch]

omg

I can only image the chaos.

[pale prairie]

More like

Bruh: “hey Flaming Fist guards! YOURE FUCKING UGLY”

roll initiative

Me staring up at the Steel Watcher “Hey bruh fuck you man…”

[vestal trench]

act 3 last fight spoilers

[pale prairie]

That fight is so easy compared to the hidden one underneath the city

“Huh is he uhhh…is he charging his final form????”

[vestal trench]

i dont even remember anymore, i was just being guided by my friends who have completed the game

i played canonical dark urge

the running gag was my companion chest was just victims

[pale prairie]

Oh yeah that’s a great fight but the the undercity one is just unfair hahaha

[pale prairie]

Most normal BG3 player thing ever

[pale prairie]

Lmao just hard roleplaying that dark urge

[vestal trench]

i find i always need to get the murderhobo out of my system in the first run before i actually rp for real 😭

this also happened with my first d&d campaign in a while

then second character's just deadass lawful good

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/icarly-sam-spencer-ostrich-groovy-gif-5156326

2 brains in there and not a single thought

[pale prairie]

The way you just glide over first character’s death/disappearance

Also there’s a happy middle ground I think

[vestal trench]

o no i finish the first character as an asshole, but then again it was an evil (ish) campaign

tbh in hindsight that campaign was more chaotic neutral

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-are-we-the-baddies-surprised-gif-19176339

[vestal trench]

theres def a happy middle ground

i was just having withdrawals from vampire the masquerade

[pale prairie]

Oh yeah that’ll do it

I think it’s honestly tradition for everyone’s first character to have at least a little edge/murderhobo

[vestal trench]

yeah i love the setting and worldbuilding of vtm but kinda hate the mechanics sometimes

especially v5 being so big into personal horror that building a specialized character still leads to like, less consistency compared to its dnd counterpart

[paper oriole]

Oh, BG 3

So, anyone else played Dark Urge who did Bhaalspawn stuff?

Asking out of curiosity

[strong gulch]

not yet

[vestal trench]

we somehow didnt go all in into that despite what my durge chest looks like

im glad tbh, the new evil endings werent in play yet when we did that

[paper oriole]

I did mine before they added the “after the cutscene party”

Seemed the most “interesting” due to feel good story

Like, I was curious by now evil the devs allowed you to be

[ripe obsidian]

I played as a D'Urge fighting against the influence

I can't be evil. It would make the NPCs sad. :<

[paper oriole]

It was a problem but endureable

[paper oriole]

This sounds like the most interesting variant, narratively speaking

[ripe obsidian]

It's like trying to do a Disco Elysium run as a drunk/addict. The instant I disappoint Kim, I feel too bad to keep being a bum

[paper oriole]

Kim hits harder then most of bg3 crew, they gave him time to marinate with you

Thanks to him I really tried to be the best cop possible

[ripe obsidian]

Gotta make Kim proud

[vestal trench]

is the evil run in rogue trader any good?

i have it installed but havent actually started

[jovial juniper]

It's eh

[paper oriole]

Have you tried Owlcat games? There you kinda have to make at least someone sad

Or the the option to kill them every other conversation - as in rogue trader 😆

[jovial juniper]

Heretical writing is pretty much dogshit

Gameplay wise, it's alright

[vestal trench]

rip

[jovial juniper]

Like legit Argenta or Henrix should shoot you in the spot

But nah
Henrix got a letter telling him to let us be a bit more radical

[hearty wolf]

I'm dinosaur

[jovial juniper]

And Argenta, idk

But it's more because your heretical choices are like

Edgy McEdgelord the darklord

[paper oriole]

Which one ?

Every variation can be evil xD

[vestal trench]

oh fr? huh

[jovial juniper]

I mean

Dogmatic is pretty much braindead blind faith

[vestal trench]

i tend towards heretics (my name) since i realized im not rly too interested in the imperium

outside of like, admech, knights, and all of necromunda

[jovial juniper]

There's this lady on Janus, right?

[hearty wolf]

I like the words but I don't know what they mean

[jovial juniper]

You uncover that she serves Slanny

As a dogmatic you can kill her

[vestal trench]

looks at my name

not happening

[hearty wolf]

Like my character says something about the horacrux magistratum and he who must not be named lex breaker god emperor

[jovial juniper]

As an iconoclast you can rescue her from the influence

As a heretical you can keep her secret

But

If you choose the heretical choice, Argenta the battle sister just won't say shit

Henrix the inquisition guy won't say shit

Elf Lady will attack though

[paper oriole]

Yeah, it felt too mild
Especially that you get so often to kill someone

Should be there at the start

[strong gulch]

I have no idea what's happening too. ☺️

[ripe obsidian]

I just got Rogue Trader in the Humble Monthly bundle, so I need to try that. I think I own both Pathfinder games, but have not played them

[jovial juniper]

But yeah that's basically the main gripe with heretical path

[hearty wolf]

I'm coming home

[jovial juniper]

The writing isn't all that

Y'all should play RT co-op

Iirc it can be 6 players

I haven't tried so no opinions about it

[ripe obsidian]

The entire story of 40k is pretty goofy to me. It's all so over the top. I like it as dark comedy, but I struggle to care when it's trying to be serious.

It also doesn't help that everyone's doomed to fail anyway, because the setting needs to stay stagnant to sell miniatures

[hearty wolf]

War for the sake of war and god this and god that and BETRAYAL

There's a 40k store near me

Should I go in

What happens if I do

[jovial juniper]

Also everything is canon but nothing is canon

[ripe obsidian]

The only reason Chaos marines exist is because GW wanted to sell a single type of mini and call it two armies

Is the UK like the rest of Europe where they give you weird looks if you ask for still/tap water instead of that sparkling bullshit?

[hearty wolf]

No water is normal but two of my colleagues asked for sparkling water

It was the least sparkly, sparkling water

I keep getting downed on melee

[woeful sigil]

I personally enjoy scrier's gaze on a fire build because you get to watch your damage ticks on everyone go up

instead of down

[strong gulch]

Melee depends on if it's your main weapon or not.

I think Deimos w/ Deflector is the most defensive Psyker weapon.

Wordle bullied me.

[earnest cobalt]

I dont have a fixed melee weapon

maybe I misunderstood tho

[ripe obsidian]

I think Potato means main as in, are you a meleeker or a staffker?

[earnest cobalt]

staffker

but this is dt I always get backstabbed

like having a small cluster of 5 poxwalkers and getting downed every time or in similar cases like these

[deft stump]

I know, I should take PC, but points. And yes, dueling sword is also fine.

[strong gulch]

It's not a matter of fixed. If you are doing a melee build with the focus is on stabbing or if you are going close to all ranged like on a staff build.

[deft stump]

I just promised to show him the memes.

[earnest cobalt]

staff then

[strong gulch]

If staff, then melee takes a backseat and needs to cover the gaps of your staff.

For inferno, the weakness is crushers. So a single target that can handle them is best.

For something like EK (electro) it's weakness is hordes, so you need something that can handle them.

[earnest cobalt]

Yeah that game mode is not good for my build and skill so I will skip it

but is there a weapon on psyker for both horde control and single targeting?

[strong gulch]

Illisi struggles against crushers. So inferno and illis have the same problem. Deimos, obscurus, DS, knife, etc would be a better pick.

DS?

and what is ilis?

[paper oriole]

Illis is a mark of force sword, it doesn’t have numbers but names

[strong gulch]

you have an illisi equipped on your character. Deimos, illisi, obscurus are all marks of force sword

DS = dueling sword (mk 4, aka DS4) is the top pick

abbreviations in the pins

[earnest cobalt]

well I guess I gotta give ds a go then

[gray juniper]

Dueling sword

Or then that sweaty palm try hard guy will come back and write an essay on it instead

Everyone wants to be too cool for bubble until they find out it’s advanced psyker technology 💅

[gray juniper]

You are more than welcomed to send a message or let me know when you are playing. It might not always be the best chance to try, but it will happen

[sacred glade]

I was playing with a Psyker earlier who was able to somehow spam like 4-5 left clicks per second with his inferno staff, and was doing absolutely stupid damage.. I assume it's a bug? Or is there some tech I'm not aware of?

[ripe obsidian]

Bubble is good. Just kinda boring.

[strong gulch]

Probably swap or QQ cancel.

diff names for the same thing.

[sacred glade]

I just tried it out in Psykanium, and I can't get anywhere near his speed

[vestal trench]

macro probably

[sacred glade]

The time it takes to whip the staff back out before you can shoot again would be like 3 attacks for him

[strong gulch]

plenty don't macro and can do silly speeds

but some do macro

it's a skill

[sacred glade]

So, can you swap fast enough to not have to "Whip the staff out" again?

[strong gulch]

animation cancel means you're ending animations early

[sacred glade]

Because even just sitting here, with sword out, hitting q and shooting, it's waaaaaaaaay too long of a wait before I can start shooting

[nocturne dust]

[hard widget]

Is vraks iag the best iag, also is it flakiac and dumdum deathspitter

[sacred glade]

Yea, I thought maybe it was full-auto mod or something, but I'm trying with that now, holding down fire and just spamming Q, and not a single shot is going off

And I've tested and can click like 8-9 times/sec

[strong gulch]

full auto doesn't increase the speed

it's just left click spam

[sacred glade]

No, but it removes the need for me to time a left-click

So all I need to do is spam Q, and no matter how fast I spam, I can't get it to shoot, I have to wait for the animation of me bringing the staff out

[gray juniper]

Send him to the interrogator

He’ll find out

[strong gulch]

it has to be done at the right time

I'm not a QQ user so I can't give you details.

[ripe obsidian]

I think QQ LMB on Inferno is near-frame perfect

[vestal trench]

welcome back electric wind god fist

[gray juniper]

All that work makes me ask; why not just secondary fire?

[ripe obsidian]

Similar soulblaze generation, much more stagger

[strong gulch]

LMB QQ cancel applies SB faster, is more damage, and staggers better.

[mighty agate]

Empyric shock maybe

[plain elbow]

wait so i'm not supposed to be flamethrowing? how does LMB QQ work?

[strong gulch]

No. Standard RMB / secondary SB spray is fine.

[nocturne dust]

RMB is significantly more damage

LMB spam is just for stagger

[strong gulch]

QQ LMB is more stagger and faster SB app but is not needed

[sacred glade]

Not at the rate this guy was doing it. He was applying all 16 stacks within like 2-3 seconds, and nothing could move cuz he was staggering pretty much everything on the entire map

[strong gulch]

The timing is tight and subject to ping etc

[nocturne dust]

You would need a macro to do it so fast

[strong gulch]

RMB is more damage than standard LMB

but standard LMB is not the same as QQ cancel LMB on inferno

[gray juniper]

More work = for less

[nocturne dust]

RMB should still be more damage than QQ LMB

provided you're not breaking the game with a macro

Biggest discrepancy I've had ever..

[gray juniper]

Deimos will knock them down on second heavy. Push attack has a long stagger. Inferno staff primary has a lot of stagger. Voidblast secondary attack has guaranteed stagger

[dull scroll]

2 mil is not that huge of a deal, 16 stacks in 3 seconds on the other hand...

I gotta see to believe it

[sacred glade]

It's not the 2.2m by itself, it's the difference in damage. I was playing Ogryn with rumbler spam, I got all the ammo kits + basically all the nades and was blasting non-stop, and had no chance to keep up with him. Everything just flopped over and we flew thru the map.

Yes I expect the psyker to do more damage, but 50% more like that, I've never had.

Took me a while to realise it was left-click, I just saw the constant beam flying out of his hand so assumed it was RMB, but couldn't figure out why he was staggering everything, died and spectated him, and saw the hand doing wonky stuff.

[dull scroll]

when was this?

[sacred glade]

[storm hollow]

what goes better with a passive barin rupture build, infernus or electro

[upper sun]

😭 which psyker is this for again

[strong gulch]

unlucky for some

[ripe obsidian]

I guess Inferno, but there's not really a specific passive brain rupture build afaik. One pop every 15 seconds is not strong enough to build around. It's a nice bonus on basically every build, but far from a core damage source.

If you want a build focused on popping heads, I believe there are a few BB+EP builds floating around in here

[storm hollow]

well the key thing to my build is that i do shit and the game just procs brain ruptures for me

the blitz is there just for the sake of it

[ripe obsidian]

Again, that's fine, but it shouldn't be a the key component of your build. Kinetic Flayer is, at best, something like a 7% DPS increase.

[storm hollow]

then what in your opinion is the best possible psyker build

cause my other option is gunker

[ripe obsidian]

I'd say a majority of havoc builds take BB for the same reason, passive KF pops. It's good. It's a nice damage increase. But it's not a primary damage source

As it's only going to kill 1 enemy every 15 seconds at most

[storm hollow]

yeah thats why i use a dueling sword and inferno staff

good crowd control + single target

fuck it hold on i have two versions of these builds i can show

[ripe obsidian]

The best Psyker build, by whatever metric you want to use, is probably Inferno + Bubble + whatever melee at high havoc. Inferno gets worse at easier difficulties due to fewer enemies

If you want a CC staff, Voidblast is more effective

Gunker is good. Inferno is good. Voidblast is good. EK is good. Voidstrike exists. Bubble Knight is good.

There are many viable builds.

But Inferno + Bubble is probably the safest and most likely to win at higher difficulties, primarily because bubble can save your team when they do dumb stuff.

Shriek and Gaze are good, but they require some amount of faith that your team won't toddle off and die.

[ripe obsidian]

I would highly recommend taking Perfect Timing on the left build

Inferno usually has a 30-40% crit rate across a full mission, and because it attacks so rapidly, that translates to max PT stacks for most of the game. I am pretty positive that increases soulblaze and KF as well as regular attacks

[strong gulch]

Uptime mods seems like it'd be cool but it is causing out of memory issues.

[ripe obsidian]

Is it? Oof. Did not know.

I've only played like 2 matches since it came out

[strong gulch]

I try to bring the mod up and it freezes my game then out of memory crash

[ripe obsidian]

As for the right build, I am not enough of a meleeker/gunker to give specific advice, but typically DD is considered a better keystone that WS when not using a staff. And the left aura, I believe, hits no particular breakpoints to make it better than the other two.

[ripe obsidian]

Oof. Hopefully the creator improves it

[strong gulch]

Ye

could be because I have several missions logged, but that would suck

[storm hollow]

well local gunker enjoyer gave me the build he uses so like

yeah

[ripe obsidian]

Everyone has different playstyles

I don't think I would use that gunker build, personally. Doesn't make it bad.

[storm hollow]

Vraks V infantry with the blaze great sword despite MAYBE I should use the duelist’s

Idk

[ripe obsidian]

As I said, I dunno enough about gunker to be an authority

And most Psykers appear to be European, so the chat is dead right now 'cause they're sleeping

[storm hollow]

@weary idol hello authority on gunkers

[ripe obsidian]

Pick a melee that complements your ranged option. I believe the Vraks has a bad time versus armor, so Obscurus, FGS, or DSIV would be anti-armor melees.

[storm hollow]

yeah that’s why the blaze force exists

[ripe obsidian]

Bearing in mind that being a Gunker usually involves, like, 50% melee, 30% Assail, 20% gun

[jovial juniper]

Are they freaks or European 🗣️

[storm hollow]

EVEN THOUGH to be fair maybe i should be using the damned duelist's for armor piercing

[weary idol]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-4161118667198014438

[ripe obsidian]

Obscurus kills armor faster than DSIV

[storm hollow]

but like the blaze froce greatsword just fucks shit up including armored

[ripe obsidian]

I think Obscurus has the best armor killtimes in the game with buffs up

[weary idol]

yeah greatsword with vraks autogun is what I use in havocs

bolt pistol also good because it makes assail/greatsword wave bleed if you swap to it

[weary idol]

nah Deimos one shots things

[ripe obsidian]

I've seen a lot of people argue that Obscurus outperforms Deimos offensively

Deimos is better defensively

[storm hollow]

oh

uh

[weary idol]

It can but not at single target because Deimos instantly kills things on gun psyker build

One shots maulers without crit, can one shot crushers with crit

[storm hollow]

i dont know if the bleed's as worth it as being able to shred most enemies and turn bosses into mincemeat from behind

[weary idol]

It just has worse horde clear, and is a bit lucky reliant

[storm hollow]

like chaos spawns and plagueryns also get screwed by my autogun

[weary idol]

You say that until you have 4 bulwarks in your face and you can't kill the trash behind them to safely clear them

can't build FGS charge because bulwarks in the way

FGS push attack not good enough to deal with multiple bulwarks

[ripe obsidian]

Bistol's bleed effects make so many builds more viable. What a goofy pistol.

[weary idol]

so you just spam uncharged FGS wave to kill the horde through the bulwarks

[storm hollow]

so what the bolt pistol's more viable than the autogun?

[ripe obsidian]

I use Bistol on my meleeker builds. Sometimes recon lasgun

[storm hollow]

OR should i just switch to the regular blaze force or dueling sword for that unacnny

[ripe obsidian]

I am of the opinion that bistol is the best gun in the game

[weary idol]

I wouldn't say that it's just a different option

It's a very mediocre gun

It just has blessings that makes other things better to compensate for its lacking qualities as a weapon

[weary idol]

https://fximgur.com/a/ThLCDz7

lifesaver when it's actually useful

painfully mediocre when it's having to be used normally

[ripe obsidian]

I disagree that it's mediocre. I think it's a fantastic jack of all trades, and that it kills specials better than any gun without "Plasma" in the name. I guess Zarona exists as well, but I haven't used it since Bistol came out

[weary idol]

if you want a jack of all trades gun you should use the laspistol

or recon

[ripe obsidian]

In the same way I dislike the feel of the knives, laspistols feel bleh to me

Not chunky enough

Recon is full because I become a laser light show

[weary idol]

If you're using the bolt pistol you should be specifically using it for the bleed on your warp projectiles

Because otherwise...it just really falls behind

[ripe obsidian]

Eh, it hasn't fallen behind for me. But I also haven't meleeker'd above like H30. I am a coward.

[strong gulch]

I don't think I've done one this week

[rancid jasper]

what's the general opinion on what force staves are worst and which are best
is it something like voidblast < electric < voidstrike < fire?

[deft stump]

All good but VoidStrike needs a buff.

[rancid jasper]

huh voidstrike seemed like one of the best to me in meatgrinder

[analog verge]

purgatus and voidblast scale very well in havoc

all are viable but voidstrike is considered the weakest

[raven mountain]

It just doesn't chew through things as fast as VB and Purg

[analog verge]

it doesnt do enough for how long it takes to charge

[raven mountain]

Electric is a different beast, not really being used to chew through the raw density of havoc hordes. Hard to compare, there.

[rancid jasper]

isnt it best used as a stun support weapon

[strong gulch]

inferno and VB are meta in havocs, EK is great in auric but falls off in havoc, VS is good but falls off in havoc

inferno / VB > EK > VS

[raven mountain]

? It's not smite. EK basically one-shots anything smaller than a mauler.

You get some "cleave" through perilous combustion and maybe shriek or something, but it is just not an aoe weapon like the others.

[verbal thistle]

Gun staff > rest of the staffs

[raven mountain]

^

[strong gulch]

EK is particularly good as a catalyst for various talents, does it quickly, from a decent distance, while maintaining mobility.

[rancid jasper]

autogun go bang bang 🔥

[analog verge]

it only hits 2 enemies at a time, its not really for that

[weary idol]

1. Inferno
2. Voidblast
3. ElectroKinetic
4. Voidstrike

[rancid jasper]

👍

[dull scroll]

yeah but inferno is the only staff that doesn't cc any elites, better know what you are doing or

and ragers

[raven mountain]

Was just about to say that

[dull scroll]

more or less single target short ranged mid stagger, it's..alright

[raven mountain]

It's not single? At least it never felt like it into rager trains.

[dull scroll]

it's pretty much single target in practice, your cursor also more or less has to be right on the guy

[gray juniper]

Burning toes on bulwarks seems pretty reliable

[dull scroll]

the superior way to shoo away elites is switch to a force sword and spam force push

[gray juniper]

That too 👍

[raven mountain]

Isn't THAT single target?

[gray juniper]

But it’s fast

[dull scroll]

yes, but it's ranged and SUPER strong

[raven mountain]

Yeah, just never felt good to force push one rager of 10. But I'm also used to purg and VB which controls them all fairly well

[gray juniper]

If they’re too close you’re going to have to push them at some point anyway

What do you usually run in havoc?

[rancid jasper]

will surge synergize with blazing spirit to apply double the stacks because it's firing 2 shots or will it still be the same amount?

[strong gulch]

No. The only staff that blazing spirit is good on is VB (voidblast) and surge doesn't work on the RMB / secondary.

[hard widget]

What perks and blessings for inferno force staff

[rancid jasper]

ik it doesnt apply to the secondary attack but if i were to do a primary crit would that apply double the stacks if both shots hit?

testing in the meatgrinder, it seems like it does but idk there might be some weird interaction

[strong gulch]

flak + unyielding or crit chance

blazeaway + nexus

What is the simplest meta-build for a psyker that's just starting up? Ideally something that is already pretty good before they are even 30lv, like starting lv20

[sacred glade]

I think he was Russian, All I got was the 2 squares and an "A"
And what do you mean spam-popups? It's just on imgur?

[verbal thistle]

Anything with assail

[vestal trench]

if you're not at 30 without fully built equipment, there's honestly no point to chasing the meta

yea what ainz said

like just assail and gun psyker it

[weary idol]

if you aren't level 30 you are spamming assail until you hit 30

[vestal trench]

in terms of simplest meta when you are built up though, inferno staff

shriek on aurics below, bubble on havoc

[merry meteor]

Ideally, if somebody could suggest a ready-to-use build 🙂 Like, a link to gameslantern

[weary idol]

and then at 30 you start doing normal psyker builds

[vestal trench]

i dont have a gun psyker build on hand for leveling

thankfully gun psyker enjoyer is here

[deft stump]

Will that stupid Assailer work?

[merry meteor]

thanks

[verbal thistle]

This is 22 and I'd say any more points from here is up to which keystone you want to use

Remember you can quell and charge your staff while sliding

With no movement penalty

I changed my keybinds to make it easier on my fingers

[potent echo]

Charging staff while sliding is the most important thing

You will never be shot again on purgatus*

[merry meteor]

Dunno, I never learnt to like the staves myself, so can't really suggest them something in that department lol

[verbal thistle]

All good

Guns are highly effective on psyker as well

[potent echo]

Gun good

My 1st 700 levels was only melee/gun psyker

[vestal trench]

gun is the best spell

[verbal thistle]

And I'm still doing it 1000 levels after

It's great

[strong gulch]

Yes. Each projectile would apply SB with surge + blazing spirit on VS RMB. Up to 6 stacks.

What's a good easy spot for cliffhanger

[radiant frigate]

hab dreyko escape sequence

[ripe obsidian]

Or Mercantile beginning

I feel silly. I survived like 20 maulers, a dozen shotgunners, however many ragers and gunners, only to walk around a corner, failed to stagger one final shotgunner (was red), and died looking like a fool

[plucky flax]

No it was me.

[pale prairie]

Sometimes it do be like that

[ripe obsidian]

We still won, but it was my only down. Came right after two bursters staggered just far enough apart to blow each other up

Chain reaction that took me to low HP. Red shotgunner knew his time was then

[hard widget]

Mercantile beginning?

Where?

[pale prairie]

Classic 9th mission of ASS story

[ripe obsidian]

Right at the breach. Blow it up, then lure the horde out to the pillar

Backing up, I mean

Is a narrow ledge and a near-endless horde

[weary idol]

this is how it always fucking happens

you kill everything

turn around for a moment

mauler that was only staggered not dead stands up and immediately overheads you from behind

sad

I could turn ragdolls off but that's lame

[ripe obsidian]

On that note, how do you properly deal with poxbursters that are, like, 10 feet apart

[hard widget]

Oh nice

[plucky flax]

You die.

[ripe obsidian]

It feels like pushing one blows up the other

[plucky flax]

[thorn cedar]

if you're psyker you have some neat tricks

[restive slate]

How do I deal with poxbursters pushed by my allies towards me

[thorn cedar]

smite if you got it (you probably dont)

force push attack

laspee push

[plucky flax]

@deft stump did you do h40 this week?

[ripe obsidian]

So long as KF isn't off cooldown.

[plucky flax]

I use burga to push with kf ready.

[wispy bay]

Talk shit of your teammate because they may deserve it.

[ripe obsidian]

Tbh I'm not sure what happened with the two in my last game. I pushed one, then tried to PA the other, but maybe a shotgunner shot it back toward me

[earnest cobalt]

[weary idol]

die

[ripe obsidian]

I need to do these event missions at some point

[polar crypt]

event was fun at first but I dunno it got tedious pretty quick

the gimmick is oh lots of carapace enemies, oh wow never seen that before

[hard widget]

Is psychic leeching good

[ripe obsidian]

Which is that?

[hard widget]

It's the one right below ep

[ripe obsidian]

I do not believe it is very good

[hard widget]

I'm assuming overpowering souls and charged up are good

[plucky flax]

Is kinda fun

[clever cloud]

theyve never been fun

more enemies whooo extra armour so cool slop every time

[plucky flax]

I think this one is better than inferno.

Can't see shit + flamers everywhere.

[clever cloud]

fat shark make a fun event challenge (impossible)

[patent jacinth]

Inferno was fun, moebian 21st was fun, giants whatever was fun

[wispy bay]

The Halloween one with 8 BoN/game.

[patent jacinth]

Not fun

[wispy bay]

It was so annoying.

[patent jacinth]

Anything that adds more beasts of nurgle to my life is not fun

[wispy bay]

Also the cranial enemy explodes push you out of the map.

[patent jacinth]

Oh right the radio event was cool

[gray juniper]

Inferno was ok too

[plucky flax]

The plague ogryn one wasn't fun. It was just boringly easier than this one.

[gray juniper]

Kind of bad idea imo to release a class on top of an event. Made it weird to get a feel

[hard widget]

Wdymn

This is the perfect event to sell you rebreather

[wispy bay]

And simple minded

[gray juniper]

I’m talking about inferno which is when arbites released

[granite stratus]

meet the pyro

[ripe obsidian]

Auric is quite a place compared with Havoc

[weary idol]

i think it'd be neat if it wasn't fucking pus hardened skin ranged damage reduction

[clever cloud]

but guys! you get a cool portrait! this event is soo good!1!1!1!1!

[candid temple]

I bet the 2nd guy had tons of fun

didn't care about green circles and just melee'd his best for the emperor

bless that big'un

[ripe obsidian]

He did his best

[vestal trench]

whoever thought encroaching + rampaging was a good idea

i just wanna talk fatshark

[ripe obsidian]

Better than Encroaching + Final Toll

[vestal trench]

the seed was fucked too

70% of spawns were mauler/crusher/rager packs, the rest were like

bombers

at one point on inferno i had like 300k damage in the first 5 mins cause of the density xP

by the end of the 5 attempts the whole pub was incredulous

there was one time where they finally got the rez

and the moment they did

twins spawned ON TOP OF THEM

[raven mountain]

Most I've seen is ~5k damage taken on a win, and it wasn't even havoc or anything.

[ripe obsidian]

Extreme masochism.

[ripe obsidian]

Director told you it was time to lose.

[vestal trench]

i havent even won a 40 this week

game saw me finally playing arbites and went "the fuck u doing on psyker, continue unlocking auric on the cop"

i cannot crack assignment rank 30 bruh

[rancid jasper]

how does shock maul interact with true aim? it seems like sometimes you need to do 5 shockmaul specials on weak point to get a crit but sometimes its like you only need to do a couple because it hits so many times? am i just getting really lucky those specific times because of random crit or is there some weird interaction that determines whether multiple hits from the shockmaul special are counted?

[vestal trench]

how tf do people deliberately try to get true survivor, do they just run safe shit like chorus/voc/bubble and hope for the best?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, pretty much

I've gotten a few unintentional TS runs, but the intentional one was like 2 chorus, 1 VoC, 1 bubble

[rancid jasper]

it seems like if i dont move my camera at all while the shock maul ability is zapping it counts towards the crit, but i might just be lucky

[topaz lichen]

psyker phasing through the warp

[vestal trench]

doesnt really seem that fun to go for depending on modifiers

then again might be wrong but it sounds like one of those clears that needs to be like

upwards of 40 mins xP

[ripe obsidian]

Easier if you do a short map like Dreyko

We did... not an easy map.

Chasm Terminus, the ammo one

[potent echo]

Is it worth splitting up for the event? I feel like that's optimal because the horde will mostly focus on one side at a time

Bonus points if someone plugs the middle spawn for shooters and bombers

[radiant frigate]

zealot or ogryn?

[raven mountain]

Ogryn

Many downs. Many deaths.

[rancid jasper]

it was just kinetic flayer triggering on soulblazed enemies in the background and adding to the hit counter lol

[inland ice]

i am finally taking it upon myself to level the staves to mastery 20

because at no point in my 770 hours so far have i decided I liked a staff that wasnt flame staff

and lately all i play is gunker because its literal peak

[waxen pollen]

i cant lie all of the staves are kind of boring

[torn kernel]

Join the trauma gang

[fiery stratus]

^

[waxen pollen]

flame does good work but like. its just lame

[fiery stratus]

Trauma good and skill based

Fun slap dog toward you then kill it mid flight

[quartz barn]

Only staff i dont really like is elektro

[torn kernel]

I swear to god flame staff would be goated if they just

Change the noise it makes

Why the fuck does it sound so weak

[quartz barn]

Void is fun but still the weakest staff

[torn kernel]

Meanwhile vb and vs both can rupture eardrums from 2 rooms away

[inland ice]

this

[torn kernel]

Which pleases my goblin brain

[inland ice]

the sheer power that flows through me using vraks with scriers

[torn kernel]

Try heavy laspistol

Melts shit if you don't care about your fingers

[inland ice]

im not han solo

[torn kernel]

Fair lmao

[near gale]

Your options are... infinite cleave in an aimed circle... infinite cleave in a cone... zapping some dudes... and then you can also go bowling...

[inland ice]

i love how they all get funny names

[torn kernel]

Dumdum raking fire vraks was my main gunker sidearm for the longest time

Geomancy when FS pls

I wanna throw rocks at heretics

[inland ice]

assail

[quartz barn]

Tbh only skill curve on trauma is being able to use it on stairs

[ripe obsidian]

Bowling, except in havoc every pin is made of concrete and you might knock 3 down if you're lucky

[torn kernel]

Those are crystals

[inland ice]

crystals are rocks bro.....

[near gale]

https://tenor.com/view/ferret-sad-crying-wipes-tears-wiping-tears-gif-24991919

[torn kernel]

I want BIG ROCK

[inland ice]

feels like this in auric lowk ngl

[quartz barn]

Nah void does fine in auric

[inland ice]

idc i hate it

[torn kernel]

Void still works in auric tho

[quartz barn]

But in havoc you get skill issued by the dmg reduction

So while void is supposed to clear everything in a single line you just cant

Mfw a reaper requires about 5 fully charged shots

[torn kernel]

Just crit smh

[near gale]

[torn kernel]

Skissue

[inland ice]

peak gameplay

then when you melee the reaper he bends the barrel of his stubber to shoot your while you are behind him

[gray juniper]

Isn’t there a cap for bosses to spawn on a normal map?

[quartz barn]

Afaik i have about 70% crit on that build xd

But havent used it in months

[inland ice]

i want pancakes

[torn kernel]

I still have a max radius voidstrike just in case they buff it lmao

[inland ice]

maple syrup and generous butter

the warp entities in my head are asking for pancakes

[near gale]

I don't have pancakes... but I do have a funny clip of me 1 magging a damnation plague ogryn with the autopistol

[torn kernel]

Cool now do it without the dog

[inland ice]

"arbites isnt busted bro i am naturally good enough to be playing maels after 40hrs of gameplay"

[inland ice]

i will never understand why people call the dog a crutch

genuinely empty brained

[torn kernel]

Ikr

[near gale]

The dog wasn't what did it, it was the buffs from execution order that required the dog to get

[inland ice]

tanner fandom

[torn kernel]

i haven't played the game in months

[near gale]

I mean at that point you might as well call lone wolf a crutch :\

[torn kernel]

How dare you mention that accursed name in this holy server

[inland ice]

real

[waxen pollen]

i dont rlly get why anyone would want to run lone wolf

[inland ice]

erm u need regen grenades? skissue stop crutching

[inland ice]

darkness in their hearts (psychopathy)

[near gale]

grenade regen, 10% attack speed, more self buff focus

[inland ice]

to larp as vet

[waxen pollen]

i see so many running it in quickplay its kinda.. i dunno..

i dont like the idea of basically stripping arbites entire identity

[inland ice]

i love when a lone wolf arby gets pounced

[torn kernel]

We have vet at home
