[dull scroll]

you are talking about mechanics that trigger when some arby charges two rooms ahead

for lulz

[tulip kettle]

no, i am not

look i need to go to bed

you have the code

[dull scroll]

then go

nobody is stopping you

[tulip kettle]

you can also see the code for your dog

[dull scroll]

bye

[tulip kettle]

these things specifically DO trigger based on proximity and coherency

[dull scroll]

you are tired, time to take a nap

[tulip kettle]

and finally, there is a stickiness mechanic that prevents it happening immediately

[zealous wing]

hope you get some good rest dom o7

[dull scroll]

you are missing the point
the guy's bringing up the dog because despite folding like a paper almost every game he thinks it's the few games I ran a dog arby somehow downing him by triggering these insane mechanics
by that logic 90% of arby player base don't run Loner and all their games would be fucked

[ripe obsidian]

This is an Inferno/FGS build I see on someone in an H40 lobby.

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know enough about the interactions between coherency, tension, intensity, and the director to know precisely how doggo impacts things.

All I know is to bonk Crushers.

[dull scroll]

all you have to know is two people didn't play that well, but only one of them decided to yap non-stop in game and apparently now on discord about how flammer is worse than purge and every other arby's dog is downing him

[ripe obsidian]

[pale prairie]

Huh I mean I can follow the logic. Haven’t seen someone skip war rider in a long time. I am guess soul blaze stacks keep DD stacks refreshed?

He’s really leaning on your favorite upper tree talent quietude

[ripe obsidian]

Game is hard.

The other Psyker in that match was going all-in on FGS bleed

Just had someone abandon an H40 before we even got to the enemies. Anyone here wanna hop in?

Is just randoms

[pale prairie]

Huh that’s interesting. Looks like it didn’t do terrible. That poor veteran

[ripe obsidian]

The veteran had a bad time.

[pale prairie]

I could give it a shot with my Ogryn if that’s acceptable. I haven’t done havocs with him yet but he’s maxed gear

[ripe obsidian]

sure, send a join request

we started moving

oop, we died. Ha.

[pale prairie]

lmao

[ripe obsidian]

4x bosses, 2 of them twins

[pale prairie]

ouch

[ripe obsidian]

still welcome to join

[tulip kettle]

Bit of a shame it's your first time playing with us and you wanna act this way but w/e I guess. You can just scroll up and see I specifically said there was no criticism of anyone and it's a cohesion problem - we obviously have different ideas about how to play the game.

You think it's better to split up and play as 4 individual players and kite bosses around and stuff. I think it's better to stay as 4 and play as a team instead of individuals, even sacrificing individual safety for the correct team based play.

Six also identified that the issue was bosses spawning and us suddenly becoming 4 individuals instead of a team.

I then went in and completed the mission with 3 randoms and posted some clips of us fighting multiple bosses in enclosed spaces, as 4, with nobody playing solo, to great effect.

Separately I explained why I dislike the dog, completely independent of the player playing it, and why it usually results in the dog arb being last alive blaming their team for dying. I explained the mechanics, you asked for sources, which were provided, and then dismissed it all anyways and started launching personal attacks. Way to prove me wrong I guess?

You've decided to behave a certain way and you're welcome to do so. I said nothing against you before and I don't need to now. You "farm 40's" so I'm sure you also went and immediately cleared your own 40 and can post the clips too, right?

[dull scroll]

You posted some clip, now show scoreboard

Personally I don't mind people not playing well, but not playing well and blaming everything non-stop yapping? That's the red-flag where I draw the line
Your idea of "stay as 4 and play as a team" is having people stay within bubble radius of you to help and make sure you don't go down at all times, or else you go down. If you are looking for that kind of "cohesion", good luck.

And next time when you herd your entire team to a dead end with endless yapping, don't step out of bubble to try oggy shield-special gunners and get insta popped. Focus on the bosses behind you and take the aggro off your teammate while applying skullbreaker, instead of wondering in discord "why did everyone die so fast after I went down??".

[hazy locust]

you guys should dm this isnt even interesting drama.

[plucky flax]

Sry it was me

You can blame it all on me

If only karien was there to carry us.

Literally 100% winrate with karien, is too true

Am I absolutely batshit crazy to try and drag the old crit electro staff build into havocs? Doing 25-30's atm, but would like to move towards 40's eventually

Haven't played since 2023 and I am really not liking how immobile Infernus staff feels

[plucky flax]

It works in 40 but you have to be unsanctioned

[gray walrus]

I assumed your group will want to skin you alive if you try to play a psyker without bubble in current year

[plucky flax]

Not really. Also if you host your own game then no one can cry.

If you join someone's lobby they might ask you for bubble tho

[dull scroll]

no bubble in pub games, go big or go home

[proper osprey]

Impressive top damage and lest taken

[dull scroll]

only because I didn't use taxe

[proper osprey]

damn this bro isnt doing shit... fr

[proper osprey]

Das why ALL of my classes are melee focused

Except when I wanna play purg

I get a crave to burn everything now and then

[proper osprey]

What is that vet doing lol

[ripe obsidian]

Oof. Overtired me apparently can't make decisions. I kept getting stuck between two places and not being able to make up my mind about which was better, then dying in the middle

[proper osprey]

Well both vets

[dull scroll]

think one was a zealot, they were trying to stay alive and actually succeding

[proper osprey]

Sorry I was cheating

[proper osprey]

Damm

[dull scroll]

one was 36 clear the other 25, pretty impressive stuff

[proper osprey]

I took a break from dt to playthrough dark souls remastered

It shows

Also how can I get scoreboard to stop crashing

There’s like 2 saved scoreboards that I can’t delete

@dull scroll you be nice to me

[pale prairie]

@ripe obsidian

[buoyant maple]

I switched to powerDI cuz scoreboard keeps crashing my game

[pale prairie]

see 2 mil

[buoyant maple]

Somehow powerDI more stable for me lol

[proper osprey]

How dare you skull emoji me….

[buoyant maple]

I only track a few stats too

[proper osprey]

Hai path

[proper osprey]

[ripe obsidian]

500 damage taken on me. Eulch.

[summer prairie]

powerDI seems to sometimes crash the game for me when someone else crashes/quits, had to even disable it because it wouldn't let me rejoin afterwards. I still run both though

[proper osprey]

Doesn’t power di do something to preformance?

[buoyant maple]

I haven’t noticed any

Turn auto save off

And ur prob fine

[proper osprey]

Guh

Peak

I’ll get it now

[buoyant maple]

Also clear ur mod list lol

[proper osprey]

I don’t know what class to play on dt anymore

[proper osprey]

My what

[ripe obsidian]

Is what mine says

[pale prairie]

@dull scroll this is who you are being mean too

https://tenor.com/view/green-goblin-green-goblin-mask-mask-scene-reject-urge-gif-2558149218007024011

Please 🙏 im a recovering addict

Geeked up playing tac axe all day

[buoyant maple]

Kills every boss in <5s with a coordinated team

[proper osprey]

Guh

And the delicious cleave Arby gets

[ripe obsidian]

Best I can give you is tunnel vision and panic under pressure.

[buoyant maple]

I checked today actually power sword gets <20s on plague ogryn in damnation/auric hp scale

So 4 veterans get ~5s if everything lines up proper

Borovian for ogryn is ~22s

[proper osprey]

What about obscurus melee psyker

[buoyant maple]

Skullcrusher buffs everyone’s damage by +80% and havoc max monster hp bonus is +70%

[buoyant maple]

💀

Psyker has like

[proper osprey]

Don’t you skull emoji me

[buoyant maple]

1? “Good” monster dps melee

And it’s DS4 of all things

Lost cause

[proper osprey]

You lie

It’s goated

Try it

With dd and everything

[buoyant maple]

And prob only if u take relentless strikes as peak cope

lol

[buoyant maple]

What kind of person plays inferno psyker with DD

[proper osprey]

I’m talking about melee psyker

The force sword

[buoyant maple]

What kind of right side build prioritizes melee fighting bosses

[proper osprey]

Obscurus

[buoyant maple]

When ur gun does like 3x the boss dps

[proper osprey]

[summer prairie]

I saw this guy with inferno+DD and he did 500 melee damage with his greatsword (that only had defensive stuff)

[proper osprey]

I be smacking them with the tac axe sometimes

[buoyant maple]

Going for that glorious 1.6k crit weakspot hit

Meanwhile power sword crit weakspot hit is 4.4k without marksman

With marksman it goes over 5k

[proper osprey]

But really I unloaded the argi revolver

[buoyant maple]

And this is not even a damage juice build

This is a literal barebones havoc veteran build

[proper osprey]

Agri revolver for armor and bosses

As cole said

[buoyant maple]

Power sword is 17-18s I just checked

Not bothered to check decimal

I think Rashad on vet is ~same

[proper osprey]

Rip message was too freaky

Was funny too

[summer prairie]

25 DD stack knife is 3.2k dps as psyker, I guess doable in auric

[proper osprey]

Knife psyker is fun

[buoyant maple]

Oh yea psyker has knife

Forgot about that

Ok psyker has 2 good monster dps melee weapons

[proper osprey]

I can’t play it

[buoyant maple]

[proper osprey]

PATH

Try the obscurus

[buoyant maple]

Buddy I’m one of the first here to try obscurus post-buff and spread the word that it’s good

[proper osprey]

Guh

[ripe obsidian]

Based on these animations, I'm gonna go ahead and say his macros are getting into the realm of exploit @pale prairie

[proper osprey]

Knife psyker with the mk6 knife is fun

Though I hate getting interrupted

[buoyant maple]

Press space to dodge

[proper osprey]

Wish gaze gave you stun immunity instead of suppression immunity

[proper osprey]

@ ainz fact check this

[proper osprey]

Yes path sifu

[weary idol]

yeah you right

I use the vraks IAG literally only for its boss damage

It otherwise sits in my pocket and watches assail kill all the ranged enemies

[buoyant maple]

u should try it in mortis with death dealer upgrades
crit doesn't consume ammo + each ranged attack can minor stagger
u can stagger lock round 10+ bosses and one mag all of them

[weary idol]

if only veteran could make IAG not consume ammo on crit

[buoyant maple]

In mortis u can

I wish Mortis was better

[tired estuary]

at least its not vt2 vs mode

[hardy coral]

this is rather amusing but too bad the only good thing about the Mk I is the Parry hits like a truck compared to the other 2.

[ripe obsidian]

@pale prairie the games you joined for were the worst I played today. D: I am usually at least somewhat less prone to dying

I will say that based on the buff indicator from one of the better missions, Warp Battery might actually be good on this build.

53.4% of the time that I had Warp Siphon stacks, I was at 4 stacks

[summer prairie]

a lot of that is traversing

[ripe obsidian]

Elaborate?

[summer prairie]

low intensity and moving forward and therefore not using shriek

[ripe obsidian]

Fair point

Wait, no. The mod only counts time in combat

So 53.4% of time in combat was at 4 stacks

[summer prairie]

oh right

but not sure how it counts combat

[pale prairie]

oooooooooh shit was beef right?

[ripe obsidian]

"It's the time a buff is active (any number of stacks) during combat (combat begins when you attack/get attacked, and ends if you haven't attacked/been attacked for 10 seconds)."

[ripe obsidian]

I do not understand what you mean

[pale prairie]

sorry i thought beef was a proponent of warp battery over wildfire

maybe i misunderstood your statement

[tulip kettle]

It says you spent 20 mins in combat, just over 5 mins at max stacks, if I'm reading it right

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know what beef means in this context. D:

[pale prairie]

The player

[ripe obsidian]

Aye. 11 minutes-ish with stacks of Warp Siphon, and a bit over half of that time with 4 stacks

[pale prairie]

or was it dom. the discussion happend a while ago in my brain

[ripe obsidian]

Beef is, yeah.

I am not sure what I would drop for it, because dropping Wildfire would directly impact the number of stacks I'm getting in a significant way

[pale prairie]

about the effectiveness of Warp battery and if it is even up enough to benefit from the cooldown let alone damage

[pale prairie]

i completely agree. I think syllogism said the cool down difference ends up being 3 s which is really the main reason you would want it if youre shrieking

[ripe obsidian]

If I could consistently get to 5-6 stacks, it might be worth it. But the only node that I would give up is Wildfire, which would make me lose so many stacks, ha

[pale prairie]

yeah wildfire isn't amazing but it is just useful enough i think on purg builds that you might as well get it over warp battery. but thats my opinion

[tulip kettle]

So about 25% of the effective time at 4 stacks, if we assume dropping wildfire for battery I would guess you struggle to gain stacks as easily so we would expect to see even less time at 5/6. And yeah like you say the wildfire/kf interaction is gaining you many stacks you would then miss out on

[pale prairie]

I did notice your scoreboard says I did fire damage. Must technically be from the Grenade gauntlet?

[ripe obsidian]

"For example, when Psyker with Seer's Presence aura (-0.1), four warp charges and three 4% Combat Ability Regeneration curio perks (-0.12) uses Telekine Shield, its maximum cooldown of 40s is first reduced by aura and curio perks to 40+40x(-0.1-0.12)=31.2 seconds. This max cooldown is then considered by Warp Siphon and further reduced by the warp charge-based reduction to 31.2-31.2x(0.075x4)=21.84 seconds."

So for me it would be Shriek w/ a base CD of 30 seconds, minus 22% for 23.4, then times 0.15 to determine how much 2 stacks would offer, which is 3.5 seconds

[tulip kettle]

Great data btw

[ripe obsidian]

Could be barrel

[pale prairie]

Yeah i think thats what beans and Six came to consensus on. I agree in line with them that I just don't think I can stack fast enough to get the benefit

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, it's a pickle.

I think Warp Battery is the node I would pick if I had 31 points

[pale prairie]

I think its nice cause its an actual decision tree

not just "duh don't get the weapon swap node"

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I'm not upset about it. Just decisions to be made, and I like optimizing

[pale prairie]

agreed

we need all the talent points

psyker buff

[ripe obsidian]

It's a good mod, assuming the data is accurate. I have no idea how to check it. But the stuff seems right to my gut

[tulip kettle]

Should be a way to get extra talent points

[pale prairie]

Yeah it feels close if not exact

[tulip kettle]

Sacrifice curios for talents

[pale prairie]

best tool to judge honestly

[pale prairie]

that would be interesting forgo equipment

[ripe obsidian]

That would be interesting. I am thinking about Cyberpunk 2077's skill that allows you to over-max on implants in exchange for losing max HP.

[pale prairie]

That should be a havoc modifier. you sacrifice relics but get talents in exchange

[pale prairie]

and doing more damage. theres a talent that calculates damage based on how much over you are on humanity

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, hell, give me a Chaos Wastes-esque mode where every X missions cleared you get +1 talent point until the run ends

[pale prairie]

oh yeah

I would love a combined mortis trials buffs with Havoc

like there are stages you reach that upgrades a blitze or ability or something

i dunno how the chaos waste format would fit with darktide though

[tulip kettle]

@obesecacharadon employ this man immediately

[pale prairie]

lmao

[ripe obsidian]

My first idea is a space hulk, but super warpy to give it varied environments

Otherwise it would be too samey

[ripe obsidian]

Gimme a visa to Sweden and it's done.

[pale prairie]

yeah agreed it would need some new maps or at least one big area

[tulip kettle]

Hive secundus.

[pale prairie]

probably colder there

[tulip kettle]

Like we were promised!

[pale prairie]

i swear to god the dev cycle on this is gonna go so long

[tulip kettle]

Instead we got "oo which of the 3 bridges will you cross when exiting hab dreyko"

And nothing else.

[pale prairie]

4 years later second hive city, 5 years final class, 6 years all bugs fixed, 7 years no more shop rotation

[ripe obsidian]

I think Fatshark might need stricter project managers or producers. Or maybe it's just that they're slowed down immensely by Games Workshop. They supposedly have weekly meetings where GW does, like, lore reviews of all planned updates.

[weary idol]

masozi should just blow all 3 of them up

[pale prairie]

yeah i don't know if its that or that trying to balance Darktide and Vermintide is more work than they thought

Anyway excellent games Six! glad we got you some wins

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, their combat system is insanely complex. I'm sure it's a lot of work.

[pale prairie]

its fucking 1 AM here and I need sleep

[ripe obsidian]

I really should have stopped before Dreyko.

I was already getting frustrated at myself

[pale prairie]

Nah cause now you get a SECOND WIN

[ripe obsidian]

The reason I have the scoreboard mod is so I can review my own performance more than anything else. But when I am tired like this and it has stopped being fun, it becomes a vessel for bleh

In Hab Dreyko, which was like 50% shorter than the other map, I died twice and took ~20% more damage. Frustration leads to worse play leads to more frustration.

[pale prairie]

Agreed but I think you are being too tough on yourself the modes are meant to be fucking hard and I died/took way more damage than you lmao

[strong gulch]

Hello chat

[ripe obsidian]

[ripe obsidian]

And I know I can do better than I did

[tulip kettle]

But six

Did you fold like paper?

[ripe obsidian]

I got slapped on the back by a poxwalker, then when I turned to kill it I got instakilled by two shotgunners

So, more or less paper

[pale prairie]

He did not he played solidly

But god I hate goo

[tulip kettle]

Lol I know he would have

Everyone dies

[pale prairie]

Fucking have too just sit there and watch with my grenade gauntlet cause the fucking pools are so murder for melee

[tulip kettle]

I watched syllo assassinate chaos with my own eyes

[pale prairie]

Niiice what class does he play?

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, this is one of my scoreboards from earlier, before I got frustrated and too tired

[tulip kettle]

I watched Agatha get downed by a poxwalker

Literally everyone dies

[ripe obsidian]

I have no idea who Agatha is

[pale prairie]

Me either

[tulip kettle]

H40 true solo player

[ripe obsidian]

What a psychopath

[pale prairie]

But dom this psyker tonight went all in on toughness and had maybe 125 health and was doing a FGS Bolter bleed build. He would just spam special and pull out bolter to inflict bleeds it was gnarly but it seemed to work

[tulip kettle]

That sounds pretty fking cool tbh

Commit to the bit!

[ripe obsidian]

He macro'd like crazy

[pale prairie]

Yeah he did

His character was fucking tweaking

[ripe obsidian]

It was exploit level of macros

[tulip kettle]

I think you would need to

[ripe obsidian]

Like, FGS LMB spam without even letting the attack animation complete

[pale prairie]

He had so little health the times he died he would have no wounds and just instakilled. Guy had fucking balls

[tulip kettle]

Hard enough to do it effectively in psykanium I can't imagine doing it consistently under pressure

[ripe obsidian]

He also macro'd the hell out of Deimos L1 to do like 25k DPS to a Burgle

It died in under 5 seconds

[tulip kettle]

That's some crazy stuff tbh, Deimos L1 is t even that good

[ripe obsidian]

It was a funky build that only worked because of macros.

[pale prairie]

It looked like knife zealot honestly

[ripe obsidian]

Using LMB spam on Inferno to get 5 stacks of Empyric Shock on the boss in about 1.5 seconds, then spamming L1 with SG and DD.

[tulip kettle]

Haha balanced

I think swap cancelling on stave primary attacks is actual abuse tbh

[pale prairie]

That is so much work haha

[ripe obsidian]

He expressed that the way he QQ cancels is actually faster than quell canceling used to be

So his attack rate was like 1 per 0.32 seconds

[tulip kettle]

Yeah it seems essentially "as fast as the game can register inputs"

[ripe obsidian]

I am not sure how that happens, since there are supposed to be safeguards against that

[pale prairie]

Bonkers

[tulip kettle]

No animation required for the swap and no "prep time" for staff primary

[ripe obsidian]

Seems like an oversight.

[tulip kettle]

I deed

[ripe obsidian]

But I feel like fixing it would make it worse for everyone

Less responsive

[summer prairie]

there's no way macro qq is faster than old macro quell cancel

[ripe obsidian]

I saw it.

[pale prairie]

Me too

[ripe obsidian]

Guy was attacking like 3x a second, easily.

[summer prairie]

it was 5/s before

[pale prairie]

Yep he looked at the DH summoners and they died fast

[ripe obsidian]

I do not know. He say quell cancel was 0.36s per attack and his method is 0.32

[summer prairie]

well he is wrong

unless that is purg?

[ripe obsidian]

It was

[summer prairie]

but even then I doubt it, let me try

[ripe obsidian]

tbh I am not entirely convinced it's just macros.

[summer prairie]

qq other lmb definitely isn't 5/s

[tulip kettle]

With qq you don't actually do the swap when using a macro, I think the only limiting factor is the delay between swapping to the weapon and being allowed to attack with it

[ripe obsidian]

He was also getting 3-4 FGS LMBs in a second

[tulip kettle]

So, I guess with that useless talent that increases weapon swap speed maybe it's doable

[summer prairie]

I would have left and blocked him

[ripe obsidian]

I didn't realize how bad it was until I died and was spectating

And I wanted a win. D:

Anyway, I should have gone to bed a while ago.

[tulip kettle]

Just snooze for 2 hours then go about your day

I'm sure it will be fine 🙂

I used to play sedition until they took it away from me.

[zealous wing]

i need two more missions for kinetic killer 3 completion

i'll get there, one day, mainly just trying to figure out if public is worth it for heresy or if i wait for my spouse

i have no doubts i'll either get carried, or be left to die for being a fool

[marble crater]

Why would it not be worth? Playing with randoms also helps you become a better player

[zealous wing]

i'm very self-concious about being a bad teammate, and i falter a lot

hence uprising quickplay mainly, gets me used to it, long as someone else inst speedrunning the level

[marble crater]

Disable chat, mute players, play it's heresy, chances are that everyone is a bad teammate

[zealous wing]

valid tbh

doesnt help i'm pretty new to FPS in general, while most people here likely have at least a decade or 2

[marble crater]

Plus psyker is even more generous with aiming, you either have ranged weapons with huge hitboxes (voidblast) one hitbox that is active for eternity (inferno) or straight up aim assist (elektro)

[patent jacinth]

Or weapons that might as well shoot cinderblocks (revolver)

[zealous wing]

i have found the revolver seems to be my perfect fit, i just hope it holds up

i found my build was accidentally perfect for using it, just had to switch a talent, from Warp Splitting to surety of arms, and i never even risk overload.

deimos, bubble, warp siphon (purely for cooldown), assail, prescience, not sure what other things are important. max curio for hp, toughness, stamina, with some mix of revive speed, max hp, tdr, toughness for their perks

not sure how to get a ss of my full tree, probably a mod, which, i dont use

[patent jacinth]

Go to Gameslatern

Website

[marble crater]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor

[patent jacinth]

Has a build maker tool

[zealous wing]

o.o

i seeeee

magicks

[patent jacinth]

Don’t trust most community builds on this website though

The popular stuff is not great like 95% of the time

[zealous wing]

i've been figuring it out as i go myself

[patent jacinth]

Don’t trust anyone

Ever

Live your life alone in constant fear that others might betray you

It is surely safer that way

Seriously though the class channel pins all have good documentation

[zealous wing]

bold of me to click that link then

i'll go through it and get that ready

[patent jacinth]

Most anything pinned within the last 1-2 years should be accurate

Now that I look we should unpin this

[marble crater]

Nobody scrolls that far down in the pins

[plucky flax]

Damn I played awful. But team was more awful.

I exploded in the first encounter cos assails spamming.

[marble crater]

You might want to play something closer to this #psyker-class message

[marble crater]

And you wonder why the 3 people team didn't accept you

[plucky flax]

Tru I was trying to play with no mods.

[zealous wing]

not really

im usually the last to die

[plucky flax]

It was so hard.

Literally no information and not even talking about spider sense.

[zealous wing]

unless im flung off a cliff but that doesnt count

[plucky flax]

Just the UI is shit.

[strong gulch]

This might serve you better. More damage and survivability built around your weapons. You could also take EP (middle keystone) since you're assailing a lot.

Flex point for whatever. I rec PC, but IDK if heresy has the density to really make use of it.

Could take a toughness node.

[zealous wing]

i dont assail a lot either tbh, the only time my peril goes up is when reloading, or if im using deimos on a monstrosity, or clearing a horde/trash

[strong gulch]

Also a note on MiM mind in motion). You can quell or channel while sliding instead.

Use the H2 on deimos.

Generally avoid the special

[zealous wing]

theres a few i could definitely switch around, im not quelling much since i stopped using a staff

[strong gulch]

A lot of psyker's talents and blessing revolve around peril

[zealous wing]

and my peril goes down quick enough on its own

[strong gulch]

WS (warp splitting) increases cleave a lot.

But if you are not having survival issues and no issues exploding, what's giving you trouble in heresy?

[marble crater]

Teammates, probably

[zealous wing]

ive only done heresy with my spouse and 2 bots, so technically yes, teammates

[marble crater]

Same for me in auric, noobs all around me

[zealous wing]

heresy issue is mainly psychological me thinks

unless he wants me to die

[marble crater]

No, heresy has all the people who think they are good enough for damnation while not being good enough, also malice to heresy is the biggest jump in difficulty, or at least it was before they rebalanced things recently

[zealous wing]

theres definitely a gap there, because in malice the bots can handle things okay, but in heresy they just drop like flies

so we're playing with 2 people and 2 rocks

yeah i can tell that by getting stuck in mortis trial with 3 of them

they used up the medicae by the middle of wave 3

[marble crater]

Bots are there to block until a player joins

[zealous wing]

if

[marble crater]

People joining mid mission is really weird recently

[strong gulch]

The only time bots are good is when you specifically want them to die.

suddenly a bot dodges every trapper and becomes untouchable

[zealous wing]

MOOD

they get me the rescue penances guilt free thats for sure

i really should stop shooting barrels so often...

i'll give the heresy public a shot and see how it goes...

[fresh reef]

zealot goes down

I decide to go for a risky rez

almost get it

he fucking ragequits

literally MID REZ

I can't bro

[marble crater]

Zealots...

[fresh reef]

they didn't

I saw them in the fucking mourningstar after

[zealous wing]

this bodes well

well i got a zealot at least

europe, and yes, public

[fresh reef]

you can believe that all you want, but they had on all paid cosmetics from different sets lol

[zealous wing]

welp one death so far, but, i was down after the orgyn xD

[hearty wolf]

The sun has risen

[zealous wing]

the only one who didnt die once was the arby

fun

:D

[marble crater]

Takes effort to die as arby

[marble crater]

In the UK? I don't believe you, even when you have 40° it's probably cloudy

[hearty wolf]

It's true

Where are friends

[marble crater]

Sleeping and burning burgers last I heard

[hearty wolf]

😭

What am I supposed to do with my life

[marble crater]

Watch anime, like a normal person

[zealous wing]

no deaths this time! downed once :D

funnily enough, it was a crusher overhead to the back

[radiant frigate]

Oh i guess these's an episode of Kaiju no.8 out

and I need to finish lord of mysteries too ig

[zealous wing]

just to confirm, wound curio far less helpful than the others?

before i sell all my extras

well, dumb question tbh, it never hurts to keep one handy, ignore previous question

[marble crater]

Wound curios don't help you survive better

[zealous wing]

it just gets rid of the annoying filter if youre at the last wound is all

well, after one down i mean

[marble crater]

Just don't go down

[zealous wing]

IM TRYING

😭

it is from my lootrun curio set so it doesnt hurt to keep it if i do more loot runs

the other 2 i've already sold

[marble crater]

I guess, but more health or toughness makes it more likely you won't go down in the first place and then no filter

[zealous wing]

from what i've seen here, nothing will save us from a stealth crusher

[zealous wing]

kinda sad, 5 damnation missions and all the psyker penances will be done. its a ways off for me, sure, but, still sad

[summer prairie]

I still don't have all psyker penances

also^

[zealous wing]

understandable

3 of the 4 were quickplays

[summer prairie]

But I also don't have "completed prologue" penance in V2 after 2.5k hours so

[sweet drift]

am i tweaking or is the force greatsword push attack not able to stagger swinging ragers like half the time

it works sometimes

[fresh reef]

based, cringe, or insane?

[white valley]

It should, you gotta hit them though

[sweet drift]

Is the hit box pretty tight on it? I'm just now returning to psyker since launch so im sure I just suck

[white valley]

Nah it has like 10 meters of range

But it's an actual targeted attack

[sweet drift]

Oh ok yeah I see what you mean that makes sense

I definitely was treating it just like a regular shove

[white valley]

why bloodthirsty on obscurus? I could understand it on illisi

[white valley]

aye it's not, it only hits 1 enemy as well

[sweet drift]

That'll do it

That was exactly what happened then

[white valley]

but knocks down ragers, opens bulwarks, and staggers crushers

[sweet drift]

I had like 3 ragers on me and I was treating it like an ogryn shove, now I know! Thank you

[spice oar]

Neither 😭

[fresh reef]

crit string synergy with uncanny

makes it do absurd boss damage if you can pull it off consistently

[white valley]

So you're going to kill something with a special attack during a bossfight, to then do another special on the boss?

[radiant frigate]

insane (based)

[tulip kettle]

i must be missing something with that one

[fresh reef]

correct

[tulip kettle]

and all this is so you can get a guaranteed crit proc?

[fresh reef]

also just got this board while playing no scrier's laspistol lol

[fresh reef]

yes

it's convuluted and bad, but silly

[tulip kettle]

okay yes i agree (insane)

[fresh reef]

also there's afun thing you can do

[near gale]

I mean... it's not martyr's purpose on the zealot tree, so it's at least not that bad :3

[fresh reef]

pair bloodthirsty with deflector and EE

you can quite simply walk through gunners

[tulip kettle]

again im not quite following

how does that work?

[near gale]

https://tenor.com/view/walking-in-the-crowd-arcade-fire-coachella-in-the-crowd-singing-gif-25405242

[tulip kettle]

i have a legit build with martyrs purpose btw. Theres better stuff for sure but if youre doing a martyrdom build and build around it correctly its not even that bad

[near gale]

think about this way... you have to take hp damage to make use of it

[tulip kettle]

get like 1.6 - 2k dmg taken

[near gale]

Something you're trying to avoid

[tulip kettle]

no downs

yeah but holy rev and UTD

just fave tank everything and always have book

[near gale]

So what? It's 1% cdr per 1 hp damage taken

[tulip kettle]

right but you have 300 hp max

[near gale]

200 base

[tulip kettle]

so 75 hp every 2 mins

yeah but with the build i have

again i said theres better stuff

but its not a completely useless meme like - bloodthirsty EE deflector?

[near gale]

Martyr's purpose even on a full hp build is ass

[tulip kettle]

right yeah sure

again im not saying its like a super meta thing or anything

but its functional and can work

[near gale]

You can run talentless builds, so yeah anything "can" work >.>

[tulip kettle]

and having 75 s of CDR every 2 minutes

isnt that terrible

[white valley]

Why not use funni chainaxe for beeg boss damage

[near gale]

meanwhile 20% every backstab kill or 200% cdr rate on crit gives it back way faster

[tulip kettle]

i mean, backstab kills one can often be really bad

[near gale]

both of which don't require you to take hp damage

[fresh reef]

mainly because I can't be arsed to level up chaxe

[tulip kettle]

and yeah wow piety is meta, who knew it?

[near gale]

You just have to have the killing blow be on the back side of the hitbox, it takes 1 or 2 dodges to get there

[hearty wolf]

@tulip kettle hi

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/sup-gif-25972346

[near gale]

but use what you want lol

[tulip kettle]

yeah i do i was just saying its a functional talent that can work

[near gale]

it's a losing battle to argue it's anything better than ass

[tulip kettle]

so probs not one id use as an example of worst talent in the game

[white valley]

The crit keystone is meta on the class that is forced to take crit talents, who could've predicted this

[tulip kettle]

i have had literally 2 hours of sleep

[hearty wolf]

F

[tulip kettle]

and am feeling particularly crumply and foldeable today

like paper, one could say

[white valley]

Unironically I think it's a great melee for psyker since it has very strong boss and elite damage, and you can use staves for horde clear

[radiant frigate]

mmyes that does sound funny

[tulip kettle]

i dont understand how that works

[radiant frigate]

blow their heads off with the special one by one guaranteeing a sequence of crits (and also blocking them)

[tulip kettle]

beyond just, deflector doing deflector

[near gale]

That honor probably goes to a talent like the master's retribution since it can't even remove a dog once it's on you already

[tulip kettle]

great example, really really terrible talent

[white valley]

That talent is a huge downgrade from Bardin's Gromril Curse

[near gale]

Meanwhile arby has a version that does work on hounds that are biting you

another forceful W

[white valley]

Ogryn does as well with Feel No Pain

[near gale]

It's ironic how there are examples that work vs hounds, but, they specifically said f u to zelly

[deft stump]

Just swing relic, you'll somehow do it.

[near gale]

It's hilarious how often the 20% backstab cdr happens

Even when you aren't trying for it

[deft stump]

Why I just said, just swing relic, especially the horde clear mark.

[near gale]

It sounds harder to achieve than it is

[deft stump]

Swing, swing, stab.

[near gale]

https://tenor.com/view/killed-em-hold-this-stabbed-gif-14017151

[deft stump]

Is just expensive taxwise to have both and beacon.

[near gale]

Yeah

beacon is expensive

[deft stump]

So better with knoife and just crits.

Most sane knife zealot ^

[white valley]

Zealot players when 30% of their gameplay is staring at the screen while channeling chorus

[dull scroll]

had a charge zealot earlier running haymaker knife

claims it's the new meta

he was wrecking shit

[near gale]

Zealot players when they have to set their active dps to 0 with chorus, but, vets don't with shout...

[deft stump]

I don't mind just to get a h40 win and get over weeklies.

[white valley]

And psykers don't with bubble either

[near gale]

Yep lol

Same for ogryns with their middle career skill

[white valley]

I dunno what the solution is tbh, but it's certainly boring atm

[deft stump]

Is taunt.

[near gale]

I've been listening to my new song for the last 2 hours, I now have 490 repeats on it heh

I only started listening to it ~1 month ago

the listenonrepeat site is a bit janky, but, it does let me listen to my songs on repeat for the sections of it that make it better for gaming(usually I only cut off the last few seconds and the 1st few seconds of the song)

some times you can get near perfect repeats by doing that

to where you can't really hear that it repeated

[white valley]

for the fgs experts, what blessings do you run?

[tulip kettle]

generally unstable and shred for me

wrath is also good

deflector can be good if you swing that way, though i think deflector belongs on babyforceswords

[white valley]

isn't riposte just better than shred? easier uptime and same value

[tulip kettle]

wrath is likely better for general horde clear

and yes and no

[deft stump]

This is psykergaslight mains.

[tulip kettle]

you need to get a successful dodge for it, often i wont get one of those when beating up hordes with FGS because nothing is getting the chance to swing

[near gale]

You rang?

I love gaslightning randos

[white valley]

true enough, but it works off ranged attacks even afaik

[tulip kettle]

and always unstable

[white valley]

aye it is better to get blessings that provide 2 different stats than blessings with the same stat twice

[tulip kettle]

again not likely to be getting shot at when wailing on poxwalkers with FGS, and if it is youre likely getting gunned down by reapers and are about to die

[near gale]

All you have to do to gaslight randos is just play competently

[brazen compass]

What about the people who don't main Psyker who still hang out here?

[zealous wing]

can confirm... i think

[tulip kettle]

for me, i like shred because its more likely to be useful in the situations i want it (bonking crusher trains)

feeding resources into 8 characters when you aren't good at managing resources keeps you poor

to be fair the true power of shriek is not immediately apparent

It's kinda funny how even at 5 I had a better gamer sense than most randos in darktide...

Look, you managed to get 6 deaths alone with even double medicae charges...

[radiant frigate]

the council has found the accused "randos" to be guilty of ungamer behaviour

now i just, only cap out peril if im special attacking with the sword a lot, so vent would be pointless for this specific build

Couldn't handle this ass even if you tried.

[deft stump]

You never heard the stereotypes said years ago.

[near gale]

and by "gamers" I don't mean even competent ones, just people who play games

[near gale]

I have, but, I mostly ignored it cause I knew it was false bs

[zealous wing]

if anything the object permanence might be better... "male pattern blindness" my sister calls it

[deft stump]

Because how many girls played wolfenstein and such anyway?

[river whale]

Can someones help me do the private mode class penance?

[west spire]

great game

[near gale]

I just knew that you can't judge a book by its cover, more for why I thought it was just bs

[deft stump]

Come here then...

[median furnace]

I'm available to help

[near gale]

My sisters were all worse at gaming than me, but, I also poured 5-10x the amount of time into gaming while already being game oriented by the age of 5

[near gale]

so that wasn't a fair comparison

[deft stump]

Shoot bad ppl, find secrets. Memes.

[west spire]

Later, in goblin mode now.

[deft stump]

My lil sis just was a natural with snipers in games.

She plays less than I do...

Will blast you from afar with snipers even with... numpad.

[west spire]

@deft stump drags my ass around while i kick buckets.

[near gale]

My sisters all had better aim than me in games, but, I also suffered the most from adhd and shakey hands... so I had a better game sense, but, they all were better at aiming things

[deft stump]

Does that make a difference?

[west spire]

depends, want interactive or power bottom?

[marble crater]

Excuse you, you have a girlfriend

[deft stump]

I have horrid aim. Is why my first gun was the combat shotgun till ppl mocked me off it.

[deft stump]

I have 3 canes.

[marble crater]

What

[hearty wolf]

Pentazamin

[near gale]

I suffer from severe adhd making it very hard to remain still at all even with meds, my hands are shakey on top of that, and I have almost no depth perception... and yet I still kill things better than randos who have like 5x better aim than me x.x

target priority goes a long way I guess

[west spire]

two, cant use mine.

[radiant frigate]

what

[radiant frigate]

also buildcraft

[near gale]

That too

using a solid build that covers all bases really does wonders

[deft stump]

Only lack depth perception. Am also clutzy. Is really why I cut myself or hit things so much IRL nowadays. And honestly, skill as well. Honing yourself compensates for alot.

[deft stump]

I have them to spook the gremlin into silence. Her mom used to spook her with them.

[near gale]

For my eyes everything looks like it is the same distance away, I only have intelligence helping me realize what is and isn't further away x.x

[marble crater]

The hell is going on over there?

[deft stump]

Rotan. You know how in the old days ppl use them or metal belt buckles to hit kids and such.

[tulip kettle]

..... no?

[deft stump]

That's really bad. I just am bad at it and if things blend into shadows, it gets worse.

[deft stump]

Corporal punishment is normal. You cane prisoners here. Parents do a lighter (usually) ver to their kids.

[tulip kettle]

it isnt normal lol its fucked up to hit kids

[near gale]

Yeah, I've suffered from it irl so much that in game I am so used to figuring out what is and isn't closer that it doesn't affect me having the flat view in game

[deft stump]

Dad used to beat me when he was drunk and angry.

[deft stump]

To be fair, screen is flat. The hard part for me is trying to discern if that blurry lump is a crouching enemy, a DH or just a "rock".

Especially on a darker map.

More so if I am slacking and dog arby. If I ping a DH, it wakes.

[near gale]

my glasses make it so I don't have blurry vision, but, without them I am almost legally blind in my left eye

[marble crater]

But we were talking about your girlfriend and you mentioned 3 canes

[near gale]

even 1 foot away the screen is blurry on my left eye without glasses

[deft stump]

Is with glasses. I can only really see things like 5 cm from my eyes otherwise. Everything else is blurry lumps of colour.

[near gale]

I'm pretty sure that's legally blind >.>'

[west spire]

color blind.

[deft stump]

Not here.

[near gale]

Rip the health care system x.x

[deft stump]

No, that was more towards Larken. I just meant it in the, you wanna get whacked, is it?

[deft stump]

To be fair, the game also smears like kark with DLSS.

And dark brown smear on dark brown smeary land=can barely see what is what.

[west spire]

hehehehehehehehehehe

[marble crater]

Not by you

[deft stump]

Maybe just shot.

[deft stump]

What?

[west spire]

Been waiting on someone to do that for years.

[marble crater]

I don't want to get whacked by you

[deft stump]

Yes, but I mean bonking Larken with a stick. Look at this.

[near gale]

True, there are a lot of effects that can fuck up your vision

I make sure to turn screen blur completely off on all games if they let me x.x

[ripe obsidian]

So long as everyone consents.

[deft stump]

Is just barely running the game tbh. Motion blur is off but everything still smears cos DLSS.

[near gale]

immersion =/= good for gameplay purposes(screen blur and stuff sucks for gameplay)

[near gale]

That's how my old pc was

[deft stump]

I literally 100% my CPU running DT.

[west spire]

im just in full tilt goblin mode so @deft stump is the current target.

[near gale]

granted that was before they massively increased enemy spawn rate

[deft stump]

And just on mourningstar.

[near gale]

they've massively increased enemy spawns since I had my old pc

It probably could barely handle normal int heresy with how the game is now :\

[deft stump]

So, you know. Low FPS, high ping... and ppl wonder why I'm full tilt stressed in general and feeling like clawing at people.

[radiant frigate]

is there someone you want to get whacked by

[near gale]

Yeah low fps + high ping = absolute cancer

[west spire]

thought that was cause you a cat?

[near gale]

even just low fps is cancerous sometimes

[marble crater]

Minthara and Shadowheart

[near gale]

playing at 20fps x.x

[deft stump]

Only thing keeping me sane was beating unpatched NWN2 on like stupid low specs.

[west spire]

Shadowheart personally.

[deft stump]

Enjoy a fight taking up to 4 hours.

And going 1 frame every 5-10secs when Elanee decides to cast Earthquake.

[radiant frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/minthara-baldur's-gate-baenre-nightwarden-minthara-bg3-gif-6053791810182416201

[deft stump]

Why, DLSS... price is extreme smears.

[dull scroll]

NWN's ost was otherwordly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru1Byy73xmU

[deft stump]

I played it alot tbh.

[dull scroll]

people are still making/updating modules even to this day

[deft stump]

Cos there was a "remaster".

[dull scroll]

think the devs are still making official patches

[deft stump]

They never fixed certain issues.

[marble crater]

I really need to finish this run and start my evil playthrough maybe I will also play a Paladin and we can be smite sisters

[deft stump]

Like the pathfinding deciding to walk you into a box instead of opening it.

[radiant frigate]

bonus points if you're also a drow noble

[marble crater]

Drow durge, close enough

[deft stump]

NWN2 chaotic good drow funni.

[near gale]

https://tenor.com/view/satisfying-gifs-oddly-satisfying-acrylic-painting-on-canvas-paint-ahmad-art-gif-24055330

[ripe obsidian]

Evil playthrough, for me:

• "I'm gonna be evil this time!"
• Agonize for 2 minutes about fhe first mean decision I have to make.
• Make a single NPC sad.
• "It's too hard."

[near gale]

My playthrough is like this followed by
Immediately hard swap to a full good playthrough

[radiant frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QVLqqZj5EVE

[marble crater]

Yeah, I will just have to force myself to be evil. I have a fully good playthrough planned for after that with all good companions I didn't play with yet. So hopefully that will keep me on the evil path

[near gale]

The most evil run I've done is a somewhat neutral focused run x.x

I just don't enjoy doing evil runs >.>

[deft stump]

I can choose 40 FPS with sub 10 lowest, or 75 FPS with SMEARS. 14 FPS lowest. Not counting karking oggy boxes.

[marble crater]

Biggest concern is the missing content for me, because you basically end up killing half the quest givers with your decisions

[deft stump]

That's instant 0.5FPS or freeze frames per explosions.

[near gale]

Even with my pc it's as bad as 3-10fps in the mortis trials with oggy boxes x.x

[deft stump]

Gives up immediately and chaotic good char xx again.

[marble crater]

Worse performance than Xbox Series S

[deft stump]

You don't turn off DLSS, right?

[marble crater]

Pretty sure I don't even have that as an option to begin with

[near gale]

I just went to work and was an absolute menace... by ordering 2 boxes of their cookies lol

[deft stump]

But yeah. Is why I can't high DPI even if I bother with mouse. I'll be sick from the smearing.

[marble crater]

Xbox uses FSR

[near gale]

they gave me a ton of shit for getting the 2 boxes of cookies(all in good fun)

I got 1 for my wife and 1 for me

getting half off where you work is such a nice thing x.x

[marble crater]

What cookies

[near gale]

Chocolate chip cookies, a box of 3 of them and 1 box of the minis which are the cookies, but, cut into 1/4ths

[marble crater]

[near gale]

they taste almost like home baked cookies, if not exactly like home baked cookies :3

[deft stump]

Now I want.

Would be nice for mood.

[last kayak]

Anyone got a good force sword setup? I dunno what perks and blessings to run with it

Nor do I know the combos

[marble crater]

For which force sword mark

[last kayak]

That's

A great question

[zealous wing]

if youre asking which mark to use on top of that, illisi for slashy deimos for stabby and slashy, idk what the other is good for. thats the best help i can give otherwise

[prime elk]

Obscurus is the goat

[verbal thistle]

Obscurus is the fastest crusher ttk

On mobile so I can't send the video

[zealous wing]

i personally enjoy the way deimos feels to use

its also more satisfying to stab reapers in the face rather than slash their face

jerks

[prime elk]

in terms of vibes, obscurus doesn't feel that great

animations are floaty

[marble crater]

If you need melee for horde clear, either use illisi with flak, maniac, slaughterer and uncanny or deflector.
If you need melee for big targets use deimos with carapace and maniac with uncanny and deflector.

If you want to do both at the cost of being less mobile, use force greatsword with carapace, unyielding and blessings are more open, most of them work

[prime elk]

horde clear attack angle is ass

but single target is fatnastic

[verbal thistle]

You don't even need horde clear since 99% of psyker kit is horde clear

[prime elk]

i tried relying primarily on obscurus for hordeclear on a gunker build

and it was painful

[verbal thistle]

Just use assail

[zealous wing]

deimos + occassional assail works well for me thus far

[prime elk]

yeah that's what i've started doing

[white valley]

with the special?

[prime elk]

No

Heavy light light

I can’t remember the last time I unironically used the special

And assail is exceptional at horde clear btw

[obtuse walrus]

I swing a big ass sword around

And kill everything

[hearty wolf]

Where are friends

why have they not spawned yet

[verbal thistle]

H L L, special only for mutants

[verbal thistle]

Did swinging the sword land you stuck in a cake?

[radiant frigate]

what kind of cake

[verbal thistle]

here it is

@white valley @zealous wing

5 crushers in 6 seconds

[wraith sphinx]

kino

every time I see clips like these I just remember all the people saying "psyker is terrible at melee" and grin

[verbal thistle]

psykers just dont know how to melee

since they are the squishist compared to other classes

their damage reductions comes from their stagger

[white valley]

People who say that are obviously not talking about scrier's gaze + disrupt destiny psyker though
