word of warning, if you are trying to climb havoc, go with the meta bubble inferno
like i have to remember the context that you've 100%'d ror2
Ye, meta havoc build take bubble for a reason.
Ironeye's dash almost has a whole second of iframes
That's ABSURD
Recluse has infinite FP on a magic caster
You go brr
But a lot of us preferred shirek in aurics and either grow tired of bubble or never really liked it. If you have a solid team and want freedom, shriek gives that.
i did hear ironeye's indisputably the best char
Raider is invincible and has such good poise break, enemies can't move
im interested in raider and the crucible knight lookin guy
He's insane but I think in a vacuum Raider is much more busted
It's like neck and neck though
Executor is the crucible knight one and you can make him kind of funny
You get relics which give you buffs like in a roguelite
Since he has a katana, he naturally has bleed
You can then get a relic with starting armament has poison
Then get another one that has a frost bite weapon art
And since he has an S in arcane, you just status obliterate everything
Until you find a BBK
The relics are easy to come by
The change on the ashes of war also don't change how the weapons scale
And it also only changes your starting weapon, not anything you might pick up
Sometimes you just want to upgrade your starter weapon and look for other weapon passives to help you
Other times you look for something that's the bosses weakness since it does more damage but also mitigates boss mechanics
Usually you get a free stagger every so often if you match the weakness but you also shut down some of their dangerous skills
Anyway gamers when I get back
I've set some rules
You have to use everything off meta
Everyone has to use ammo and a blitz that consumes grenade
No yellow toughness
LMAO what
The most OP node in any tree can't be used
You also have to use sharp weapons
Also can't use meta ultimate
Trust. If I play zealot, regardless of meta talents, it won't be meta. lmao
That sounds swag
F
@ripe obsidian i went to go play for a bit and stop looking at code. Thanks for coming back, i am now completely on board that all loner talent does is buff coherency toughness and provide some strings and the number 2 for UI purposes 🤦♂️
imagine overriding the coherency toughness, and returning the number 2 for the ui, instead of buffing the units in coherency and returning its value 🙃
how I be feeling
All I'm hearing is that loner is even worse than I thought 
It's goofy. If it actually impacted spawning it might be worth using.
its just such a terrible thing to do in so many ways
yea
worst personality
worst aura
no coincidence
like, imagine just showing "2" on the HUD instead of the actual number in coherency
But loner is the best personality 
its intentionally misleading and thats annoying, i wouldnt mind if they did any one of so many things to resolve it.
- the description states "for toughness regeneration"
- the HUD shows 1 instead of 2
- it actually makes coherency +1
How about... they delete it from the game 
i think it would be a legit talent
worst by far not even close
if it could be used for the purpose of being the dedicated specials killer
none of these would make it good still
because having a single enemy in ur player character's slots disables coherency toughness regeneration
Just gotta push and run away from all enemies while staying in coherency
Punishing player for being within melee range of an enemy 
On the uh
Traditionally melee class
Inb4 they give melee weapons durability
You did too many hits this run? Your weapon breaks
That's how they should have balanced DS4 and the knife
You toothpick crusher? Now you have half a toothpick
No Guts No Glory moment

Wouldn't make it good. Would make it clearer.
What is the best personality to you?
The Kruber perk?
Yours :)
Liar.
The bully club blessing
i mean, the third one would make it useable, the other 2 its still trash just not as annoying and misleading
don't have a particular fav across all classes
it's still immaculately bad because coherency number only matters for coherency toughness regen
and coherency toughness regen is horrible
you arent bringing it for coherency toughness, IF it made you always count as 2 coherency you would bring it so you dont trigger loner protection from the director
thats what this whole discussion is about
nobody cares about coherency toughness regen and for that purpose yes its garbage why take it
but it DOESNT make you always count as in 2 coherency, which is what six was showing me in the code
it makes your toughness coherency regen count as you being in coherency of at least 1 person, and returns a few strings and the number "2" for the ui
oh this part
idk I still don't think it'd be that good
Is quick shards better or ethereal shards
i mean if you could just run 10m away to kill that dog, then that bomber, then that trapper, and not trigger 3 more spawning as currently happens
it would make zealot with loner very good at being dedicated specials killer
I think game already frequently spawns up to specialist maximum in HiSTG and Havoc
Both are optional
Although quick>>>
Because Warp Splitting is just a better ethereal
when specialist spawn allowance already is hitting cap idk if this 2-coherency prevention really means anything
Is there a psyker build guide, I'm new to psyker, I dunno which are those classic goated nodes
just check the pins for pretty meta builds
Is true
theres a lot of synergies in psyker tree
Am home
so some talents are great when taken with complementary talents but pretty bad without
ALSO
this is just blatant arb bias, again
because the dog is a unit in coherency for coherency purposes
I mostly ran the witch in Nightreign
and since I only played with friends/family, being able to say "someone give me lightning/holy" on demand was pretty fun
work in 8.5 hrs 🙂
only with left aura, no?
in meat grinder it used to be bugged and always count 2 coherency
but not in live game
Just got compliments for playing with Boltpistol/Catachan Sword on Psyker, very nice ❤️
Arby's left aura is Zealot's right and left auras combined, ha
again dog is perhaps the buggiest thing in this game yet
Sooo….. it doesn’t make you count as being in coherency like theirs a ghost party member with you? Sorry I’m not a coder I don’t understand
Loner truly sucks then
it even overrides your HUD UI to show "2"
but it doesnt actually make you be in 2 coherency
There is something in the pins
I took dog aura off dog build in other words; dog build with no keystone. Would it still count as out of coherency?
unlike the dog, which does count as a unit for coherency if you take the talent
you need the talent for it to count from what i can see
Here's the code for doggo coherency. I don't want to parse through it right now.
yeah theres a bit where it checks your talent buffs
if u don't take left aura dog is not a coherency unit
if u do, ur dog becomes a coherency unit for u & everyone else
This is probably the most relevant code to this:
self._in_coherence_units[coherency_unit] = coherency_extension
local prev_num_units_in_coherency = self._num_units_in_coherence
self._num_units_in_coherence = prev_num_units_in_coherency + 1
end```
maybe the hotfix (this week?) will break dog so hard u crash the game if >1 dog loads into a match
who knows
yeah thats the code that actually increases units in coherency, for the player, for the dog being in coherency
Think fatshark are still on holiday atm
maybe next week then
It's really funny to me that the left Arby aura is a slightly worse version of Zealot's left aura as well as a notably better version of Zealot's right aura
aren't we supposed to get new cosmetics this thursday?
when was last rotation
last week or the week before
Icr when they get back tbh, all I know is the Swedes have a summer holiday
my friend immigrated to sweden
idk why everyone doesnt move there tbh
he worked for 2.5 years and has now been unemployed for nearly twice that long
Finland for me if I can wrangle the money ngl
government still pays his salary
and he always says
yeah wages are good and cost of living isnt too high
but the TAXES are a lot, its like 40%!
I'm trying to find my cat
and im like - you dont pay taxes?
This is so weird
The fuse box tripped and my cat can't be found
And the kettle is emitting burning plastic sounds
My taxes are already more than 40%
I opened a cat of Tina
Can of tuna
Still no cat
I'm sniffing more of the plastic fumes
Chat am I going to die
It's almost 1am wtf 😭
Ofc
Damn didn’t come to tuna can that’s rare
Is there anywhere obvious it could hide?
Is the yard fenced?
She can go over/under but I swear I left her inside before we left
I hate to say it but you may have misremembered and should check outside
yes sin
I've checked outside both times and she's not there
go roaming the streets in the dark looking for a cat
I had a full memory lapse once from being sleepy and left the poor cat outside
I didn’t say all that
i did
She's not even in the plant pot outside
if kitty is a 100% indoor cat its worrying, but if kitty likes to be outdoors shes not gonna suffer being out there a couple hours. IF she is even outside and not under your bed or in the dirty laundry
If you live in an urban area it’s not a concern
I think she's probably gonna hunt me in my sleep for being gone for like 9 hours
I know what you mean
Most likely case is nothing too concerning. Rambunctious cat decides to venture or wacky cat gets afraid of the new sound and sits in place for 6 hours instead of moving
Oh well
I eat sandwich
It would be irresponsible to play a darktide game at this time but...
i should never have looked at this code
did you know
there are hundreds of buffs
that are tagged as "unperceivable"
also now i really want to know what
coherency = {
buff_template_name = "zealot_always_in_coherency_buff",
identifier = "zealot_aura",
priority = 2,
I did not know that
actually does because it is not the same as the player buff template special rule
I think that's the priority of the buff bar
" keywords.unperceivable "
sorry to drag you back to this six youve been so patient
zealot_always_in_coherency = {
description = "loc_talent_zealot_always_in_coherency_description",
display_name = "loc_talent_zealot_always_in_coherency",
icon = "content/ui/textures/icons/talents/zealot_1/zealot_1_base_3",
name = "Aura: Always count as in at least 2 coherency",
format_values = {
coherency_min_stack = {
format_type = "number",
value = talent_settings_1.coherency.toughness_min_stack_override,
},
},
special_rule = {
identifier = "zealot_always_at_least_one_coherency",
special_rule_name = special_rules.zealot_always_at_least_one_coherency,
},
coherency = {
buff_template_name = "zealot_always_in_coherency_buff",
identifier = "zealot_aura",
priority = 2,
},
passive = {
buff_template_name = "zealot_backstab_kills_while_loner_aura_tracking_buff",
identifier = "zealot_backstab_kills_while_loner_aura_tracking_buff",
},
},
The special rule is the actual buff/stats/gameplay change. I really think the coherency section is the buff bar, but I am not certain
so i now understand that "format values" is called for the UI to get info
The passive, as you pointed out earlier, appears to be for penance tracking
and yeah special rule is the special rule that gets checked for the toughness coherency
but this bit for the "coherency" function
the fact it has priority makes me also think yes its to do with the buff bar
i am not a game dev
i need to give up
sorry and thank you
My two guesses are that it's priority of appearing on the buff bar, or priority of buff application
I'm not a game dev either. I make wi-fi do wi-fi things.
I see hud_priority and coherency_priority. Hmmm.
Seems like all auras have a coherency_priority of 2
This is probably it
Seems to have to do with how the buffs are applied. I don't know exactly how that works if they're all priority 2. Must be other things in play
such a rabbit hole
ability_cooldown_modifier = "additive_multiplier", but unrelated, confirmation that CDR on curios is additive without me needing to math it like before
Such is the way with code. The company I work for, their codebase is billions of lines, millions of files.
so they're always flooding your UI with shit you know you have by seeing the goddamn mission start menu
eating precious real estate of your 10 visible buffs
also proof that anticipation is no longer bugged
[stat_buffs.dodge_linger_time_modifier] = 0.5,
am i stupid
what talent gives you increased TDR if there are burning enemies nearby
Anyone want to do an easy havoc 23? No rituals even
does anyone know a mod that can show stacks nearer to the center of the screen so i can see my true aim stacks etc without peering at the bottom corner?
soulblaze_reduces_damage_taken = {
toughness_damage_taken_multiplier = 0.67,
None give TDR. Souldrinker regens toughness
you need 2 mods
custom HUD and better buff bars
Might be a Mortis thing or an unused talent
thank you
is it a specific setting or just download them
then, make a custom buff bar with better buffs that only has the buffs you want
ahh ok
then use custom HUD to move the buff bar where you want it
so the center of my screen isnt covered in 100 meaningless buffs?
i have thust, true aim, until death etc to appear next to crosshair
other buffs appear in the normal bar
tysm
soulblaze_reduces_damage_taken = {
toughness_damage_taken_multiplier = 0.67,
its just in talent settings
max_points = 1,
talent = "psyker_killing_enemy_with_warpfire_boosts",
```
Looks unused
finding the buffs for use in better buff bar can be hard as they are called stupid stuff
case in point, brainburst is called smite in the code, and smite is called chain lightning
tf
yeah thats me for the past 6 hours my dude
wait is that why the image above the brainburst side of the talent tree is someone using smite? they changed something?
no i think they just are really, really bad at writing human readable code
which is fine tbh its not for humans and ofc we dont have their comments for the decompiled code
just makes all this stuff harder
theres just so much stuff im finding now that makes me wonder wtf is going on with some stuff. It tracks if team mates saved you from being grabbed by mutants or not
why does it do that? i dont know
it has 2 different player states for when you get thrown by a mutant or chaos spawn
NO MORE
NO MORE LOOKING AT CODE
Voice lines
@hearty wolf not sure if u still went to go play but i fell asleep 💀
did read back tho, hope the cat is safe and returns!
I'm pissed, I made an assail build I thought ripped shit cause I could basically solo auric maelstorm, but it just falls apart in havoc
Just had a cheater D:
Infinite ammo, instant toughness regen, no clip.
Literally no fucking shame
Nah, you just gotta use it at the right times
Lucky you. I have played with 2 cheaters in 2k hours. Very rare. And utterly pointless for them to cheat
Worthless vs armoured units
Yep, thats only the second one I've seen after 2K hours
There arent many, but like jfc dude
I played with only 1
if you think thats bad, you should see the competitive scene in the soft ban pools in dark souls games
What are soft ban pools
basically if you get a mod you get put in a lobby of players that are soft banned
and most of them cheat and tryhard
me and my buddies were trying to play a mod called lord of cinder + randomized items
Ahhhhhh. Similar to what cod did
I am aware of that an all
Thankfully I dont fuck with souls games outside CEing in items in ER, but yeah, I know folks whove been in there
dark souls pvp is already miserable
one of the items in cinder's mod changes the roll animation to a dash animation, and I had a guy rage so hard that his attacks weren't hitting me that he kept invading with god mode turned on
just following me to every zone
these are very helpful thanks
Hmmm... I do an experiment
DD with Purgatus
Actually kinda cracked if you spec for crits
Double stack application constantly
DD is crit damage, not crit chance
Scrier's Gaze Inferno is the one for maxing crit chance. I think 70% crit chance if SG is up.
I think there's actually a mod that does this exact thing
1 sec
WoW-ass mods
I am aware yes, but i'm not talking about chance, im talking about direct damage
yeah maybe if the default buff bar didn't have a hard limit of fucking 10 it wouldn't be necessary
Crit damage is bad due to the way it applies.
Purg' crits all the time and the DPS increase is actually quite noticeable
bad in small amounts
DD is not a small amount
30% crit damage on top of, like, a 15 damage crit is not a lot of extra damage
oh for purgatus
yeah don't bother
purgatus crits are good because they apply multiple soulblaze stacks
not because it does damage
the 15% base damage tho
I won't argue with DD for gunker or meleeker or voidstrike or whatever else
The crits scale with DoT's applied it would seem, sure it starts out at 15, then it scales up to like 3/400
Soulblaze does not crit
The staff does tho
The more DoTs put onto the target, the bigger the direct crit damage
what
I'm not really understanding what you mean. The staff crits, yes. The staff has very low base damage. Even with fully stacked Blaze Away, Warp Rider, etc., the base damage won't be very high. A crit is like 20% additional damage. So +30% on +20% is going to be ~6% damage increase, or something like that. I am looking for the code that describes critical damage so I can confirm.
So what is happening, is that the more DoTs are on the target, (the lesser amount on the right) the bigger the direct crit damage will be
As displayed on the later one, much bigger number
That is 100% not how it works
🤷♂️ Im noticing the DPS increase, also it benifits Assail for shooter removal
You're just seeing the damage from Soulblaze tick at the same time as staff damage
I'm going to bed. 
Nope, on Reaper max tick is 165 unbuffed, thats direct damage
yeah uh that is not how that works
at all
If your soulblaze is only doing 165 damage, you're doing something wrong.
does souldrinker only trigger if the killing blow is a soulblaze tick or if the enemy had soulblaze when they died?
That is with no buffs after a first burst
Souldrinker toughness regen works on all enemies who die with soulblaze on them.
Yet some of the crits are going well over 500 when buffed, but not on ticks on direct damage
and the crit chance?
The critical hit part of Souldrinker does not refresh during its duration.
oh weird
I would imagine it has the same trigger, but I don't know for sure
So either there is some goofy interaction going on with the DD perk or there is some other fuckery involved because at no point is a normal tick doing over 500
well the crit chance part isnt very good anyways lol
Again, this is multiple damage sources stacking and the mod not reporting them correctly.
It's just the normal healthbar in Psyk'
Then the healthbar isn't reporting correctly
Either way, # of stacks has 0 impact on crits
🤷♂️ Im still gunna take it into a mission an see if the average output is higher than normal
Yes and no.
There is a server issue that makes enemies dying with SB on vs from the SB inconsistent. IIirc, an enemy has to die during a SB tick to consistently get the benefits for souldrinker if the kill isn't done by SB.
TTK deffo feels faster
As compared with what?
I mean, DD is still +15% damage. So it's going to be faster.
Also, DD doesn't actually work in the Psykhanium without a mod.
incredible game design honestly
Also also, here's a string of crits on an enemy with 15 stacks. Had 15 stacks to start. If # of stacks matters, why are they all different?
86, 157, 356, 411
It's just the DPS report not knowing how to handle so many ticks of damage at a time, and it overlaps.
Also also also, I think I found the crit damage code, and it is more complicated than I want to deal with.
I have creature spawner, toggling invis on and off to proc the DD targets
You are welcome to look through the code to find something about soulblaze stacks increasing crit. If you find something, I will gladly recant.

local is_target_burning = target_buff_extension and target_buff_extension:has_keyword(keywords.burning)
local damage_vs_burning_stat_buff = (is_target_burning and attacker_stat_buffs.damage_vs_burning or 1) - 1
damage_stat_buffs = damage_stat_buffs + damage_vs_burning_stat_buff
After a cursory look I can find this, idk how relevant it is tho, im no gamedev, but it would appear there is some sort of thing relating to burning (this is from the crit page of the code)
Lines 298-301
Burning and soulblaze have different names, I believe. I think it's 'warpfire' for soulblaze. It's why the burny archetype in Mortis doesn't actually work on Inferno/Shriek unless you get regular burn some other way
But I will look at those lines
There is nothing specifc to warpfire anywhere according to CTRL-F
Ah, it looks like that's actually the code for the Mortis buff
description = "Deals 70% more damage against target on fire",
gradient = "content/ui/textures/color_ramps/talent_ability",
icon = "content/ui/textures/icons/buffs/hud/horde_buffs/small_buffs/hordes_buff_damage_vs_burning",
title = "You burn, you die",```
And then this section is all of the buff families for Mortis
are blaze away and warp nexus the best blessings for inferno staff
Yes
To kill bosses and Ogryns faster
Its in the crit page?
i thought you shouldnt be using inferno staff on bosses and ogryns
Nah, that page is all the damage calculations
just use obscurus or something like bb
It's probably the best Psyker staff for bosses
BB on bosses is not very high DPS, in my experience. Maybe with an EP build, but I have never tried that
on obscurus im using slaughterer and uncanny strike , thats fine right
Melee is probably going to do better, but it depends on your skill
cant decide between obscurus and deimos with inferno staff
EP Brainburst is a funny meme, but not very practical
Sounds fine to me. Uncanny + Shred/Slaughterer/Riposte/Precognition, probably
You do get infinite casts if there are enough elites tho, which is entertaining
I would go Deimos. Horde is completely handled by Inferno staff if you are using it correctly
Obscurus does obscene armor damage
And is actually pretty bad at hordes (in my experience)
I just like Deimos
obscurus and deimos are both for single targets right
the stab is nice
Deimos is more defensive. Obscurus is more offensive
Obscurus will be what everyone uses once DS gets nerfed
but obscurus can also handle hordes better than deimos ig
@fluid knot Here's a quick comparison of fire versus soulblaze damage types:
if HEALTH_ALIVE[unit] then
local damage_template = DamageProfileTemplates.burning
if HEALTH_ALIVE[unit] then
local damage_template = DamageProfileTemplates.warpfire
Just for reference
sounds like you prefer obscurus so just go with that.
warpfire thrower
It's preference. I like Deimos for defensive purposes. Obscurus is also good.
Im using obscurus with slaughterer , uncanny strike and carapace unyielding
thats fine hopefully
new to psyker
Probably fine. I don't see an issue with it. Maybe change slaughterer depending on your goals, but otherwise fine
remember when obscurus was considered unusable
i was gonna use deflector, but i think i dont need it for survivability rn
how is it these days ?
Back in my day, we all stroked our Illisi, and we liked it.
Obscurus is good now. Got some buffs. Bullies elites.
which was the style at the time
need to try it then
just love the big fuckin greatsword so much its hard to take off
i have yet to try that
that and shock maul are the only weapons in the game ive never tried yet
I don't get it then, if crits from teh stick are only 15 why is it with DD stacks they show over 500, but that number is unachievable without DD stacks, thats a pretty big discrepancy given the highs are like 400s outside of it (rarely)
I get there are a lot of DoTs going out an that could screw with the shown DPS, but the gap is simply too large
I don't have DD here, and there's a 771 and an 852 in my ticks
Healthbars for this one
I only use it in the Psykhanium. Feels too cheaty in-game
Yeah I wouldnt use that ingame either
Every now and again I can catch the damage hopping up.
Like, the marker will read "400" then immediately change to "850"
I don't know the tickrate of the DPS counter or the staff offhand. Soulblaze is every 0.75 seconds
I dunno i can't horde clear with obs
My guess is that the ticker reports DPS every 0.5 seconds, so things overlap. But I would need to find hard answers to say for sure
Oh, found it.
local add_numbers_together_timer = template.damage_number_type == damage_number_types.flashy and damage_number_settings.add_numbers_together_timer_flashy or damage_number_settings.add_numbers_together_timer
if add_numbers_together_timer > t - latest_damage_number.start_time then
should_add = false
end
end```
is ethereal shards better at killing elites
I just need to do assail for the penance
I am pleased with this variable name. It is simple. "add_numbers_together_timer"
Ethereal increases cleave by 1.
Are you familiar with how hitmass works?
That is the usual choice
Not directly, no. It means you might, maybe, go through 1 additional elite
Depending on how the hitmass works out
I usually use DD with Assail, but EP also works
also when you use assail, does the right click increase the dmg
Yes, right-click is more damage and range at the cost of more peril
Something like 200 base damage versus 150
does left click assail kill say
a gunner
or do you need to right click for it to do that
I doubt either would 100 > 0 a gunner
Recon lasgun is the popular choice
ughhh
i already run that nonstop on vet
i remember when recon lasgun was an unused meme

im gonna use vraks
vraks is the new columnus iag right
I believe so, yes
This shit makes no fuckin sense
Not even a crit, but again, big damage bump
How2voidstrikestaff
Wouldn't a trauma staff provide better crowd control
add_numbers_together_timer
"So was it ever thus with the Fat Fish Code"
Voidstrike is "fuck everything in this hallway" type staff
That's an inferno staff and a trauma staff with their infinite cleave innit'
I am like 99% sure it's that add_numbers_together_timer.
The strike staff seems just like a contact grenade launcher with infinite ammo and no arc
But I imagine you can achieve better results with inferno/trauma
Kinda, Void' doesnt have infinite cleave, but its psuedo-infinite, basically only stops on Carapace
Good for beaming lines of shotgunners or ragers
20 hitmass of cleave, I believe.
If only it was spam friendly
Voidstrike is good in Auric and below. Suffers a lot in Havoc.
I'm gunna keep using it an see how the damage numbers play out over the course of a mission, if it ends up being like 4mil over a Havoc game the bump is worth, but we'll see
is warp expenditure not good or something
I ran it through GPT, because my brain is becoming pudding.
How it works:
Check for existing damage numbers:
local latest_damage_number = damage_numbers[#damage_numbers]
Check if the latest number is recent:
if latest_damage_number then
local add_numbers_together_timer = ...
if add_numbers_together_timer > t - latest_damage_number.start_time then
should_add = false
end
end
If the time difference (t - latest_damage_number.start_time) is less than add_numbers_together_timer, then should_add becomes false.
If should_add is false, the code goes into the else branch:
latest_damage_number.value = math.clamp(latest_damage_number.value + damage_diff, 0, max_health)
latest_damage_number.time = 0
latest_damage_number.y_position = nil
latest_damage_number.start_time = t
...
This adds the new damage to the existing number instead of creating a new damage number object.```
GPT is a yes man
I mean, yes.
Makes sense, still 1000 per tick is getting into silly territory, lemmie see if I can get the same number on zero stacks with this in effect
you can get it to say gravity isn't real
I did not give it a leading question:
"Can you please quickly tell me if the following code combines damage numbers that occur too close together? It's a DPS display in a video game."
I use GPT for code reviews and CLI help. Having it lie to me would be counterproductive
It's not even very good at code reviews, tbh
I dunno man. its language learning not programming. Even the AI they use for coding spits out shitty stuff
did they change kinetic flayer and its actually good now?
I know. I work for one such company.
Its good at formatting I'll give it that
yeah you seem to get it
kinetic flayer used to have a chance of killing any random enemy and it was kinda useless because it would just trigger and kill a random poxwalker and then go on cd for 15 seconds, did they change it so it actually affects only elites and specialists now?
The simpler the question, the more you can trust the output. Still check its work, but
Yes
Significantly
i guess i can take it now
Be careful of poxbursters
Cool second buff bar
Thats the mod name of it?
Sorry for getting heated earlier. It's been a rough week. I shouldn't take it out on you, or anyone, though.
Rough... 6 months, actually. But alas.
anyone got tips for improving this build, its inferno staff
+CDR aura instead of elite damage, usually. I don't think the elite damage aura gives any noteworthy breakpoints. Or, none that I know of.
kinetic presence Im using for the penance 
theres a penance just for the aura
Ahhhh
assail has a seperate penance where you gotta kill elites and specialists with assail
I usually prefer Warp Siphon on Inferno. Haven't used EP enough to know much about it
Warp charges over emp psyonics. More vent usage - more damage and space control
okay
Fuckin worth it on Surge though jfc
and i dont need to be using inferno staff with this build ig, i can change it
Surge has a much higher base damage for the crit to boost
also puppet master is bad right
Yeah, though if only it regularly proc'd on weakspot kills, hits plenty of weakspot ticks, but wont proc the 2 stacks from DD node often, if at all
@ripe obsidian I Defy you and your luck after 6 straight losses I just pulled off a win
Infernus is currently the best weapon in the game, there is no reason to not if you making a infernus build.
Inf ammo, some range, cleave, everything
PotS is typically better for Shriek inferno. Build up peril faster for better shrieks
For bubble inferno, I use Empyric Resolve
and which subnodes on warp charge do i take
+damage and +charge on soulblaze kill
they all seem good except essence harvest and vampire ig
6 charges or toughness on charge gain are preference, but I don't use them.
Don’t most people go for the cleave talent instead?
?
There's a bad rending talent, not a cleave talent
its very conditional yeah
Just curious on the logic because the inferno builds peril pretty slow already yeah?
Warpfire already has fantastic ADM on everything but carapace. Rending does basically nothing
2.5% damage increase
Or, that's what it's supposed to be
In practice, it feels like less
Yeah I agree it suck I just thought people avoided the toughness reduction on inferno
The ER downside
If its a vent build then going for low warp res is the best
If its a bubble build then it depends, you probably alr going with 60% wr
Ahhhh
You’re right I was thinking of all the vent builds
Toughness regen isn't so much the issue as peril generation
Inferno is pretty low peril, so using ER with Shriek can result in your peril being too low to consistently shriek
But with bubble, ER makes it easier for me to balance in the ~80% range
And bubble makes up for a lot of toughness gen lost
il eventually use bubble as my main build
but im doing the penance stuff first
then I can just switch to bubble and leave it on
Yeah the per second gen and the fact that it clusters your team. Does ER affect coherency bonus?
It shouldn't
It affects all sources of toughness regen i belive
The coherency and all of your nodes
With bubble its usually not an issue, you still generates a fuck ton of it
I mean that makes sense to me but I thought I had read/heard that it doesn’t affect toughness from coherency. I don’t really care though because as you said it shouldn’t matter if there’s inferno stacks on everything and shield up
You would probably have source of gold toughness in your team, it does matter that much
These names are so cheeky
Are they relics of VT2?
Ninja fencer makes me think of assassin rat
In case you were curious weapons that reference ninjafencer are:
- Combat sword (Catachan, I guess)
- Combat axe
- Combat knife
More sounds like a plague monks
Fast ones, like a fencing
It's a weapon type
Hmmm good point
Bruh
The dog mauling me in Darktide pales in comparison to the visceral stabbing of the ninja rat
Oh, combat sword might be the DS
Hm
wait, the combat_blade is ogryn's knife
ogryn_combatblade
I think DS is somewhere under combat_swords. There are 9 weapons listed in there.
So the combat_axe referenced is probably tac axes
Well that’s pretty dense
p1 is devil's claw, p2 heavy sword, p3 dueling sword
Syllogism to the rescue
Anyway, where I started was looking at crit damage calculations.
Which are complex.
I imagine. Doesn’t every weapon have a different amount of crit damage bonus?
Based on finesse, yeah. Or specific modifiers. Or enemy armor type (depending on the weapon used to hit them).
Etc.
Damn that’s a ton of interactions
Yeah
finesse_boost_amount = finesse_boost_amount + (boost_table and boost_table[armor_type] or PowerLevelSettings.default_finesse_boost_amount[armor_type])
finesse_boost_amount = Weakspot.finesse_boost_modifer(breed_or_nil, hit_zone_name, finesse_boost_amount)
finesse_boost_amount = finesse_boost_amount + crit_boost_amount
And so on.
The default crit boost is 50%, but then it's run through math stuff, so a crit is ???
Catachan Sword is very based on Psyker ngl
Just parry fuckin everything
L1 crit on a Mauler torso with DSIV is a 650% damage increase, apparently. Same on a Crusher torso is a 900% damage increase.
Same with a Devil's Claw is a 60% increase on the mauler and an 800% increase on the crusher.

I need to go to bed.
This is a collision of me Wanting To Know and also not having a math or coding background to facilitate knowing.
Deflector a good blessing on a blaze sword?
Not really, unless you're really struggling with ranged enemies
Yeah, and I'm the king of spain 😄
it really depends on the build for me, but me also noob
it is nice with builds that use kinetic deflection [especially with warp rider or other things that scale with peril]
ngl I practically only ever use my melee to block
Catachan Sword + Kinetic Deflection my beloved
this is very fun lol
Legit, just stand in rager blob and they all die 😄
does the special hit weakspots? i forget. could be really nice with crack of bone
Yesn't, you have to aim it a little bit
Sometimes you'll clip arms or torsos, but a lot of the time yeah its heads
so if aimed right, crack of bone and kinetic deflection would give infinite parries if youre getting kills? xd
Not infinite, but you can out-parry more ragers than you're ever actually gonna encounter in a mission
But also you have to factor in trash hitting you too, so like its a lot, but not forever
Test it with Creature Spawner in Psykhanium
You can spawn like 100 of 'em an be fine because Perilous will start to take over if you run out of Perils room and Shriek ofc so you can keep going
Stop lying to people about it, ffs.
No u
I don't lie about it.
Gaslight mains just do it.
You pro
Am nawt, stawp lying!
if you block alot it's definetely worth taking if youre not running a crit+empathic evasion build and even if you are you can kinda stand in front of teammates with it to shield them i think
If an enemy dies to a teammate while they are soulblazed, does it count as your kill for getting EP stacks?
Update: cat respawned
is that from a geometry dash level
or does all dubstep just sound the same
Ngl sometimes it be like that
Other times it’s like an aristocrats cane. Used to block cretins and hit them over the head to clear a path
No its jeremy
Rly cute cat
Chat dead
Ppl working
I’m never going to pc
I'm trying to learn drawing but this shit hard
had another nice arbites-less match today
hell yeah sibling
I once tried to draw a turd and couldn't even get the squiggles right
I'm cursed to have permanent fear of any kind of game that involves drawing
it's a really big leap from writing
when writing I just think of something broad then commit it to paper and just make minor adjustments as needed
drawing just requires continuous iteration no way around it
Had a 4 zealot match. It almost felt euphoric. Better that it was a win too
Stinkiest lobby on Atoma
Musty sweat and incense all around
The trick to painting and drawing is light, fine lines in small measures. If the result you want to achieve wasn’t met, you lightly erase that small portion and adjust
Painting and especially oil painting relies on mastered drawing as the base for paint to be layered on
i dont wanna be that guy but art is subjective, there isn't really a "trick"
that being said, starting with a light sketch that you can easily erase can definetely help get the desired result if you have a specific image in mind and don't want to mess it up and be unable to erase it
I'm practicing with pencil and paper and I plan to switch to a drawing tablet if I can get a hang of this
Just use AI, smh
FOUND THE HERETIC
Inb4 I erase the entire thing
I'm down to use AI though
What I want is an artist who can use AI so they can tweak as needed
Imagine how much they could pump out
Then I wouldn't need to spend an insane amount of custom artwork 😭
Moi desktop background
I think it was like £50-80 iirc
And this was like £70
Why do you think getting art is nice... Can't really afford it.
True, why is nice. Is a want anyway, not a need.
also didn't know you were a bunny enjoyer
dark knight very based class btw
Or maybe temperament
Brr
Ignore that 1 WAR parse
We did a meme run on the last day of the patch and I just kept cutting
Critting
I was actually sobbing
I haven't played in a few years at this point. Haven't seen all that graphical changes etc
I see Kinetic Deflection talent taken in builds a bit too often than I would expect. What do I miss? Like, blocking isn't usually the best strategy in this game, not to mention for prolonged amount of time. And for throwing a couple blocks here and there stamina should be enough?
Ooo shiny 100s
I want to lick it
Let me lick
it secures resses in the middle of a horde and greatly extends your blocking ability
What happened in the Stone Guard 😭
i was on bitch duty hitting the boss with 90% DR
actually, a good point.. didn't think about it, when ressing, you are considered blocking, right?
Ye
what about other types of assists, does it work as well?
Kinetic deflection also allows you to sprint everywhere and still block when out of stamina
^honestly the bigger reason
loops back around to saving people
you can run to a downed teammate and just pick them up
Or leeroy jump down into a horde to pick up someone just before they die.
KD makes you survive stuff you literally cannot survive normally
Dc'd but you were holding block? You're fine
So when are we going to get staffs in the primary slot
would a bunch of brittleness make soulblaze a bit better against carapace
KD is great just so you don't get bullied by the Chaos Spawn 
It goes from shit to 99% doodoo concentrate doodoo
Then you get grabbed and nobody cares.
I've seen enough psykers get slapped around by those things
wonderful
I think you could kill faster with an Illisi at that point.
illisi one shot crusher meme 
#psyker-class message
wait that's not the vid of it getting cut in half
tested, you absolutely could
Here it is. Funny crusher bye bye with illisi #psyker-class message
Where is Json anyways??
i love the funny crusher onetap
Why, just don't bother with brittle unless you wanna go fully into "support".
You can also just staff bonk things.
You can also have Karien protect you
That sounds overpowered
Why u all bully her/him is beyond me 🤣
it doesn't seem to, I've just tested, it doesn't CC target
so what does it do?
A really low dot
The only plus side is maybe it affects everything you hit
But you should never take it 
Karien gaslighting people to think she not pro.
It's not bullying 
YOU ALL GASLIGHT PPL INTO THE OPPOSITE OF IT. I AM NOBODY SPECIAL. A NOTHING.
rate plz 😄 : https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f88b4cb-d4ee-4d44-a9d0-971e8c36e8b9/test-meleesupport-build-no-bb
Just tried to make psyker as supportive as possible

for my pal who prefer playing support builds
EXPOSED
This is not mmo you don't need support or tank. Maybe in the hardest contents (support) a bit of support might be required if team are not confident.
I literally don't even care
it's about what you like or not to play though
I have dated many cosplayers
I think majority of people understand what is happening and don't think you are the number 1 player in all Darktide 
What do you think
some people like to feel they support others
man dont this is not the place 🙂
Okay fair.
This girl took it as a sign to unleash her freak
Run bubble it's your support.
She was a furry
This is a public discord, please keep it to yourself 
I had to shut that one down FAST
not here 🙂
Or go to zealot chat
Back to Christianity
I think karien is a furry. 
That's why she's so strong
Let your friend play bubble knight build 
She turns into a shewolf or something
the way you make soulblaze good vs carapace is with uncanny strike on your melee weapon
I make it good by applying it with a voidblast staff 
i too have been enjoying this
but i gotta say
running blazing trauma in havoc is kinda pain
Why it's gaslighting newer ppl. Or so.

I am NOT. I am a weeb, FFS.
You know I'm on the vampire side of that argument, right?
Not me I think she's #1.
Furry vampire weeb
Furryien
I AM NAWT A FURRY, FFS.
Oh no, it's just Furyien 😭

My sleep score was 96 last night./
So close to perfect sleep.
Unsanctioned snooze.

Also bed at 10pm is wild

I'm too old to stay up late and be able to go to work in the morning.

Erm
Coffee just makes the sensation go away
You will shutdown eventually and you'll like it
That being said
I'll have mine with a bit of sugar
WDYM? Coffee makes eepier.
How would I know 
Ah yes
The four types
Awake
Nothing happens
Shit yourself
Sleepy
I literally drink it to sleep some times lul.
You just need more coffee
Chat is STILL dead
Is this the state of Darktide
Dying as we know it
How are my kids going to play it
It has been dead
It killed by

Helldivers
Space Marines 2
Firebreak
Killing Floor 3
Imagine
Imagine if any game was killed by killing floor 3
I have 3 hours to go
Imagine being employed and being a productive member of society 
Pathetic 
Can't be me


I will fuck shit as soon as i get home
Youl see
I will pump the shit in those scoreboards
Needs more warp fire
Any reason to run shriek instead of scrier's gaze?
I would say depends on your weapons. Shriek is more popular on staff or smite builds. Scriers on guns or melee focus
But yes it’s a great source of flames
idk why that didnt load gif preview in here, but thats the mood when you hit 20+ stacks and pop a dang ole' red stim bubba
which setting in the moregraphicsoptions mod could be causing fire to become invisible for me?
i keep wondering why im taking damage lol then i realized its invisible fire
Grey names can’t post images or gifs. Once you post enough your name goes red and you get shitposting powers
It’s fast
duh, its early, im tired. shoulda known
I unironically use scriers with staves
Yeah I did it with void strike back in the day
And I feel like I have a longer downtime with shriek than I do with staves
With gaze, I can just keep spamming the trauma staff/assail without worrying about blowing up for at least 10 seconds after hitting 100 peril again
But with the peril generation, I find myself quelling more often when using shriek
I have come to find that if you have a purg shriek/bubble psyker and your whole group plays around that, its very effective/successfuly in higher havocs. When I play my own psyker I cant seem to ever find a group that can comprehend or do this reliably, but I swapped to my taunt ogryn last night and babysat the purg psyker we had, and we cleared havoc 31 fairly smoothly. Anyone else feel that this is true, or do I just have bad luck with team mates?
For sure youre gonna be tapping quell every few seconds if your maintaining high peril and shriek is on CD
I mean yeah it’s fun and cool. I think though that most people pair shriek with the warp siphon keystone and also just go left side of tree and cooldown aura. The downtime for shriek ends up being really short.
Everybody plays their own way. I prefer shriek cause I love using an EK staff and the creeping flames from shriek help me get highdensity crowd damage (and proc KF on BB)
Thing is, psyker wants high peril for increased damage output
Inconsistent coordination in random pubs??? Shocking! Yeah it’s hit or miss. Sometimes great locked in team. Other times it’s all arbites running away from you glass cannon psyker
It's kinda counterintuitive to constantly be at high peril but spend most of the time quelling or waiting for it to go back down
Rather than just popping scrier and going ham at full warp rider bonuses
For 10 whole seconds
I did try warp charge with shriek but it's still kind of underwhelming
Different builds for different playstyles
well, if you have shriek and you want to maintain high peril for more crit and damage and stuff, it only takes 3 LMB or one RMB before you have to tap quell, but it only takes like one short tap. I try and stay between 80-95% peril, and only quell once I see myself going above about 93%
If this is inferno staff I believe as long as you start pump under 100 you shouldn’t blow up unless you do it again
I prefer warp charge myself, psyker was my first class, and i started playing before you had smite and keystones and assail etc so its just what im used to.
that is true, i just dont like to run the risk, all it takes after that is a simple misclick and it could be game over on higher difficulty
Just use gaze™
Hahahaha ride the edge of the warp sibling
Imagine having to concern yourself with peril management
When you can stay at 100 peril for 10 seconds
It's like taking the bottoms off of a magazine of ammo
Unlimited power
For inferno specifically I don’t think you get a lot of benefits from scriers other than tankiness from the TDR and unlimited casting for a bit
Maybe movement speed
Blaze away and penetrating flames seem way too strong, isn’t ever worth swapping one for nexus warp for the crit?
Me ususally too. i ususally, in that order, fuck shit up:
- on the toilet
- the fridge
- the game
- my sleep schedule

If you use it with kinetic flayer, it can trash even the crusher horde spawns from the event with lmb spam
Average Florida afternoon depiction
I think blaze away and warp nexus are a better pairing
It’s the side of staff that has infinite cleave hahaha
Can team get brittle from other sources easily?
You mean the LMB, too, right
Ya like livin dangerous huh
I mean yeah other classes can get it. But I think you’re better off getting more flamestacks on enemies. Why weaken them when you can just kill them?
Dangerous? I'm literally playing the game on autopilot
Strike gaze is funni.
No need to think about peril management
When the game gives you a 10s window of "go nuts"
I mean maybe? I don’t think it hits mobs behind the first one
Especially edging for that 40 kills in one gaze.
It uh... Does.
Hey it was awesome before all the interactions changed
Cool? So you staggered 2 guys rather than the 5 others behind the first 2 and did way less damage? I don’t see your point for only using LMB
Just keep spamming LMB
LMB spam staggers better than charging with RMB
Stagger is safety
Never reached the skillevel to play psyker to its full potential
The game is about killing things. LMB is great for a couple puffs for safety but RMB should be constantly going
What node was that again
You... Are implying that LMB spam isn't killing
Warp unbound?
Does a 22 caliber bullet kill things? Yeah would I rather the 50 caliber? Fucking yes
What do you think going ham with warp rider, the staff node that increases your damage every hit with your primary and the enemy being set on fire and taking constantly DoT will do?
Are you implying that you just go whole levels only left clicking in the small range immediately around you?
You don't need to RMB
Preferred psyker is gaze meleepsyker rn. Bistol+ force great sword+ gaze + assail
Found that to be the most ubiqitous and strangely, the most survivable
And doing top damage babyyyyyyyyyy
Perfect brain-off gameplay
So your take is never RMB and pop scriers?
Thx
Specifically with a kinetic flayer inferno staff build, yes
That’s pretty wild. What difficulty?
Auric with the funni event modifiers
Lmao try that Strat in high havocs for science
Neither did I. Psyker is literally my worst class.
I guess I have the whole staff and want to use all of it. Especially the line of fire that can hit the whole crowd not just a couple ranks
You can hit the entire crowd if you LMB spam enough)))
It's rage bait
