psyker-class

[pale prairie]

Yeah I have almost all the packs at this point. I skipped the parade one I think cause I wasn’t interested

[radiant frigate]

i bought that one the moment i could

ANOTHER 1000 SUPER CREDITS TO PROPAGANDA

[pale prairie]

Yeah it fits you hahaha

It has a melee weapon!

[radiant frigate]

it has a sword

[pale prairie]

One that crashes the game completely when planted

[radiant frigate]

and a gun that is also a spear

which i unironically like a lot on bugs

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/knife-gif-22126564

Fucking KAT over here

[radiant frigate]

now you might be thinking "what kind of idiot would pick a DMR on bugs"

it's me I'm the idiot

[pale prairie]

I wouldn’t be but I would probably tease you as I hear you dying over comms

“There’s too many!!!! Aaggahhagbaa!”

[radiant frigate]

say what you will, but the sword can kill an unlimited amount of voteless

[pale prairie]

“Covering fire” loads Eruptor

😏

[radiant frigate]

i also quite enjoy eruptor

and libpen

[pale prairie]

Libpen is goated with the drum mag and stabilizing customization

[radiant frigate]

to be fair though libpen on bugs is slight overkill

[pale prairie]

No such thing

[radiant frigate]

but depends on the rest of the loadout

[pale prairie]

Have you done predator strain yet? It’s……a lot and having lots of penetrating bullets is so good

[radiant frigate]

predator strain does not favor libpen really

[pale prairie]

Really now? I have had good success personally

[radiant frigate]

you can absolutely use it but it doesn't do anything base lib won't do for you there

[zealous wing]

yall general chat is cooked

save me

send me a meme or something 😭

[pale prairie]

Again I want the medium pen for the increased damage that it does to targets with lower armor ratings

[zealous wing]

i look over and its just, ai sexbots/wife bots or some shit

[pale prairie]

Alright here’s a meme

[radiant frigate]

only makes a difference on light armor

[radiant frigate]

on unarmored base lib will do more

[plucky flax]

First game in darktide and he already found out psyker is worst class.

[pale prairie]

Yeah but other types are showing up too not just hunters and stalkers

[pale prairie]

BUFF COMING TOMORROW

[marble crater]

Damn, and you are close to me as well...

[radiant frigate]

[radiant frigate]

anyway that's why i started running diligence/amendment

no need to care about armor damage reduction when you obliterate things with a 200 base damage boolet

(provided you hit the right spot)

[ripe obsidian]

Better break the bad news to this guy:

[plucky flax]

In that thread someone apparently met the legendary bubble knight

[marble crater]

Bubble cheater

[ripe obsidian]

Since swapping to Shriek from Bubble, I have had people say I am the best Psyker they've seen and also, more than once and different people each time, randomly invite me to ask for help in H40s

[plucky flax]

Kinda sus.

[dull scroll]

based shriek adherent 😌

[pale prairie]

Panic melee hits all the spots

[ripe obsidian]

It also helps when teams are as aggressive as I am. Had a book Zealot last night who actually sprinted ahead of me to read bedtime stories to the cultists.

It was nice.

[weary idol]

couldn't have been me because I don't use recon lasgun

[dull scroll]

he doesn't use a bubble either 😏

[ripe obsidian]

I'm still debating between Wildfire and Warp Battery, but yes. I am Gathering Data.

[pale prairie]

You pretending to know unsanctioned in the comments again?

Agent is his own propaganda/PR firm

[plucky flax]

No I didn't post any comments wtf.

[dull scroll]

I was too, though I am currently convinced it's not wildfire (instead of warp battery I spec'd KR), especially with shriek

[ripe obsidian]

I already have KR

[dull scroll]

that's interesting, what's your build

[ripe obsidian]

I will say that with Wildfire I get a lot more special kills on average, at least with my current data

Wait, no, KF. Not KR.

My mistake

[pale prairie]

What you use?

[weary idol]

vraks infantry autogun

[ripe obsidian]

There's KF and KR and KD, and sometimes my brain gets confused

[dull scroll]

yeah it's the bb cd thing, I use bb a lot and with shriek's short cd it's extremely potent

[ripe obsidian]

I only really use BB on Specials or Gunners I can't reach, and if there's no horde

[plucky flax]

Earlier I played bubble knight with no mods and I think I just missed all my hips fire cos the default crosshair is so bad.

[ripe obsidian]

So not often

[pale prairie]

But you looked cool doing it. Besides the gun isn’t your ranged weapon. It’s FGS special

[plucky flax]

It doesn't reflect how accurate the hips fire is at all.

[pale prairie]

On recon or heavy las pistol? Cause las pistol is nuts

[plucky flax]

Recon

[plucky flax]

The cross is way too far aparthttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1406959708849438740/image.png?ex=68a45cd6&is=68a30b56&hm=3c0977ced875b419d166a7edba3f253f8a00c80ce7e3df1e5a3ed2b096741b39&

[pale prairie]

I have come to realize that brutal momentum on havoc might not be as useful as Opportunist and the rending it gives

[pale prairie]

Yeah that’s sad

[dull scroll]

I have been switching between recons and vraks back and forth on the gaze gunker in 40, it's been really hard to decide so far

[zealous wing]

god i heard some new voicelines from my character about declining free food from under melks desk 😭

im dying 😂

[pale prairie]

I am basically doing a gunker build but am using a EK staff instead but am really eyeing moving to actual gun. The decision paralysis is real

[zealous wing]

"new" new to me

[ripe obsidian]

I think KR is a valid pick. I just don't use BB enough currently. I'm pretty convinced there's no significant difference between Wildfire and Warp Battery in terms of overall Shriek count or damage output. As mentioned, the only meaningful difference I am seeing so far is in number of specials killed. Average stacks is like 2.6 versus 3.1, and that translates to (very bad napkin math) an average of like 2% more damage from Empyrean Empowerment and 4% shorter CDR on Shriek with Battery.

It's just hard to get good math on this since every match is so different

[dull scroll]

I get you are trying to do empirial stats, but here's my logic regarding wildfire in combination with shriek
wildfire has a 4-stack cap, normally for me if I inferno/shriek 90% of the things in my vicinity already has more than 4 stacks, so wildfire will rarely come into play

[pale prairie]

You are the best psyker I have ever seen so I am sure you’ll figure it out 😉

[dull scroll]

That's why I'm currently convinced wildfire is not it on inferno/vent. It'd be a different story say you using blaze VB, wildfire would have much more value there

[radiant frigate]

i think wildfire is only relevent on blaze trauma

if even

[plucky flax]

This again just read up what to do here #psyker-class message

Reddit has spoken gun psyker isn’t viable on havoc

[marble crater]

Someone should tell the Unsanctioned guy

[pale prairie]

Just stealing ammo from team and not bringing important buffs/auras

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-frog-muppets-meme-smh-shaking-my-head-gif-16984538577250620315

[dull scroll]

it's..viable, if you have the skill for it 😏

[plucky flax]

I heard unsanctioned guy played no mods with gun psyker and won too.

Totally didn't get carried

[pale prairie]

Fake news

Karien came out saying she dragged his ass to victory

[marble crater]

I would expect nothing less

[plucky flax]

Tru

Karien

[pale prairie]

Must be nice to get free weeklies from Karien even with the flaming

[pale prairie]

Do you find ammo economy tough?

[dull scroll]

tbh I barely used my gun, or melee that much, it's assail all the way, notice the "blitz" damage on the board

so ammo wasn't a huge issue

gun is for killing specials fast or when you can't assail and other emergencies

[plucky flax]

Ask her nicely and maybe she'd flame you gently whilst carrying you.

[pale prairie]

My time to play is pretty locked into like an hour most days and I am pretty sure when she is sleeping.

Someday maybe the stars will align. I’ll just lose till then

[plucky flax]

You can never be sure Karien is actually sleeping

You could be hit with a reaction emote at any time

[zealous wing]

genuine question, im mainly using bubble, for protecting myself and others, as well as cockblocking reapers/gunners, reviving/rescuing protection, etc... in damnation+ is bubble still helpful, or should i look into using SG instead? if both, which scenarios would SG be better than a bubble? mainly performing as a utility build rather than exclusively support / high damage / etc

[marble crater]

Bubble is more useful the higher the difficulty and it will never be bad

SG is for main character fantasy and just going full damage

[zealous wing]

kk ty

i dont want the team to die but if they do i want to be able to at least survive a lil longer than them

[dull scroll]

depends entirely on where your skill lvl is at and what you are trying to do

if you are trying to farm wins, bubble 100%

if you are meme'ing.. 😏

[marble crater]

Shriek is both offensive and defensive

[zealous wing]

my highest skill is, heresy is still stressful but with people who know what they're doing i dont die... much

[dull scroll]

if it's easier than auric it might actually be SG and assail

bubble is overkill there

[marble crater]

Have you tried not dying at all?

[zealous wing]

i have actually

its working great

as far as it being overkill, maybe, but i need to learn how to use it somehow, so

[marble crater]

Good, maybe stop using bubble for a bit and try to not die without it

[zealous wing]

in which difficulty?

[pale prairie]

Damn bubble is what most people take? Been running sg lmao

[marble crater]

Any of them, whatever you are playing. It will help you get better if you can't rely on it

[zealous wing]

and as far as shriek goes, i dont generate enough peril for it to matter, and if i want to shout all the time i'd go with a vet

i'd need a completely different playstyle for shriek to work for me, personally

[marble crater]

Staves

[dull scroll]

shriek, like inferno, doesn't shine at lower diff

[zealous wing]

i dont tend to rely on it, its mainly for others

i have deflector and KD

[dull scroll]

too little things to aoe burn

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/burn-gif-20530397

[hearty wolf]

game?

[gray juniper]

This combination is what’s called personal bubble. Unless you’re hard pressed to make sure no one dies even once, you’d do fine without bubble at all

[dull scroll]

at lower diffs bubble is overkill, but inferno/shriek don't shine that much either

SG and assail gunker reigns supreme there

[coral tartan]

What mods does everyone use?

i didnt realize there were mods for online play

[weary idol]

have to be a PC player first and foremost

[coral tartan]

am

[weary idol]

and I would say the absolute most important ones that are just like

things that should be vanilla but aren't because

Recolor Boss Healthbars which allows more than 2 boss healthbars on screen at once and recolors them

[coral tartan]

I just want stats and performance numbers if they exist

[weary idol]

NumericUI which makes the UI give you the actual numbers for shit and shows your effective dodge count

[coral tartan]

$$$

[weary idol]

And a combination of Better Buff Management+CustomHud so that you can have multiple buff bars so important buffs don't just disappear from it in-game

[coral tartan]

That explains ALOT

[weary idol]

yeah default buff bar has a limit of 10 buffs at a time

and it simply won't display ones beyond this

[coral tartan]

wondering why my SG stacks arent showing until i hit 100% peril and the 10s post SC buff

but that makes sense

[weary idol]

especially awful considering coherency and auras eat up half the fucking limit

[coral tartan]

i see on nexus ther is a mod manager and framework, are these needed or is it just if specified by mods

[ripe obsidian]

Buff Uptime also removes the 10-buff limit

[weary idol]

yeah but that mod is cringe

[weary idol]

those are needed yes

[coral tartan]

Thank you for answering my questions and saving me from listening to 5 separate youtue idiots with some insane intro while i sift though bullshit

[ripe obsidian]

...?

That's certainly a take

[weary idol]

doesn't work with better buff management

[ripe obsidian]

No, it doesn't. Better Buff Management screws with the tracking

[weary idol]

and I don't really want obviously active at all times buffs clogging up my buff bar just for the sake of seeing uptime stats

[ripe obsidian]

I like the stats

Gives me an idea of what I am not doing well or need to improve on

[pale prairie]

So between recon mk12 and vraks infantry auto V the vraks is better at boss killing?

[zealous wing]

hmm imma do a smart and not respond to some random steam message when they didnt even send a fr nor did i play with them in the last couple hrs

very odd behaviour indeed

[marble crater]

What could go wrong

[zealous wing]

auric isnt that bad the only thing is that hits do big damage

yeah the crusher to the back was mean :(

tbh

that was kind on me

the overhead was aimed at me

[zealous wing]

[marble crater]

[ripe obsidian]

I approve.

[zinc phoenix]

Empowered assail with sg is pretty funny so long as there is absolutely no carapace 😆

[ripe obsidian]

I am fascinated by this curio choice. Someone has 3x of them on Psyker.

[zinc phoenix]

I mowed thru just absolutely mental amounts of squish stuff

Very funny

[pale prairie]

They are for sure surviving one burster

[zinc phoenix]

I think it’d honestly work better with a ds4 or 5 than the oscurus ainz was using

[zinc phoenix]

Kinetic + deflector + that = “I’m fucking done with my team dying” 😂

[ripe obsidian]

Yup, they have KD and a Deflector Deimos

As well as Bubble Shield

So I guess they're play a medic psyker

[pale prairie]

Support psyker

[strong gulch]

unlucky for some

[marble crater]

See, auric is easy @zealous wing

[zealous wing]

but hey no down this time

we ignore the dog

hmm

maybe a 6

[marble crater]

okay, next time maelstrom

[pale prairie]

Yes

[zealous wing]

i almost said "bet" 😭

i need a maelstrom for havoc

even heresy maelstrom concerns me

[strong gulch]

As per my character's voice lines, "I skip scared and go right to terrified!"

[marble crater]

If you can do auric, you can do heresy maelstrom

[zealous wing]

spouse and i went in, died in the 4th section? i think

like a week ago

[marble crater]

You are auric certified now

[zealous wing]

but, we also got scared of the twin fight on uprising very early on and WAY overplanned

died 2x in a row and started scheming revenge

[marble crater]

[zealous wing]

now i can basically solo them

on uprising, but still >:D

havent tried higher

quickplay on higher diffs tends to throw me into fire and death and despair

[strong gulch]

"scheming revenge"

love it

I don't really understand romance. So I'll take everyones word for it.

[ember anvil]

First class I maxed out on/played havoc was ogryn and now im learning psyker as second character and holy hell is this class difficult

went from mega toughness to a brick killing me

[zealous wing]

first class i maxed was vet, and now i cant even tolerate zealot or ogryn

ogryn makes me motion sick, and idk whats wrong with zealot yet

[marble crater]

Buff psyker!

[zealous wing]

you definitely could

hunt down toughness curio / hp curio

[ember anvil]

hmm i would have expected veteran to zealot being the most tolerable transition

[zealous wing]

well, psyker is between the two

[ember anvil]

i guess if your going head popper style

[zealous wing]

assail

[radiant frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-aardman-cheese-cementpfp-food-gif-1859268831938666603

[zealous wing]

was head popper first, but, assail is more gunker safe

and, horde clearing is very handy

esp with the gun i use

[ember anvil]

is gunker like with revolver or something normally

[zealous wing]

not sure, i've heard most prefer a bolt pistol yeah?

[radiant frigate]

most commonly viag or reconlas

[zealous wing]

i use revolver

[radiant frigate]

bistol and laspistol also occasionally

[strong gulch]

Gunker is gun psyker which is also melee psyker

so right side tree

[zealous wing]

revolver lets me panic kill a crusher in 3-5 shots, so it works out fiiiine

[radiant frigate]

3-5?

immensely wasteful

[zealous wing]

depends on crit

[dull scroll]

recon and vraks is the top contender for gunker

[zealous wing]

and again, panic

[dull scroll]

after more mind numbing testing earlier recon won out

[zealous wing]

usually the sword is for crushers but, what i just went through aftewr playing uprising literally all week... forgive me 🙏

[strong gulch]

Psyker crusher management is melee and some staves. Guns are

[dull scroll]

that big mag size allows you to surpress/proc EE to survive getting caught by gunners and reapers in the open

[ember anvil]

deep down i know gunker is more my playstyle but i gotta learn how to play as palpatine its a requirement

[dull scroll]

vraks you run out the 30 something mag and start reloading you done

[marble crater]

My crusher management is PA, PA, PA, PA, PA, PA

[ember anvil]

i yearn to electrocute

[radiant frigate]

my crusher management is heavy into heavy

[zealous wing]

idk i didnt outright die in auric so i think its going ok at the moment pls let me have this 😭

im still reeling

tbh the revolver yeah probably isnt the best overall, but, it DOES work

[ember anvil]

i still need practice using these heavy force block swords, they feel so odd to me

[marble crater]

@radiant frigatebtw, who is that in your picture?

[pale prairie]

Custom elf tav I think

[marble crater]

Would make sense

[marble crater]

The urge to start a new game, get most of the way through act 1, take a break, forget what happened, abondon that play through, the urge to start a new game...

[marble crater]

[zealous wing]

k even with a combat stim its still technically 3-4 shots, but, if im real lucky, it was 2 shots and a single assail shard

[pale prairie]

its a vicious circle

[zealous wing]

enough to get a crusher off someones ass if im too far away

Still was a True Survivor run, but alas.

[zinc phoenix]

i need to finish my TS bg3 run

ive got two things left to kill in the game

[marble crater]

Evil Shadowheart

[strong gulch]

Oh right there's new ones

[zinc phoenix]

1. the guy with the fun robe
2. the final boss

i had fun killing all the optional bosses in it

[ripe obsidian]

Still was 1500k damage in a 31 minute game.

[marble crater]

Right now mine looks like on the left, looking forward to evil Shart

[ripe obsidian]

I like happier Shadowheart. It feels nice to help her grow as a person.

[radiant frigate]

yeah me too

[marble crater]

Everyone having a dark themed build was already the plan maybe I go full Darkness shenanigans

[radiant frigate]

shadowheart vs. sad ow heart

[radiant frigate]

i was doing The Shadow Blade Playthrough™ (extremely fucking stupid actually)

works excessively well until constructs appear

[marble crater]

Stupid because OP?

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[ripe obsidian]

My party was Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion until the end of Act 1. Then Astarion fucking disapproved of me freeing some gnome slaves or some shit, so he got booted.

[marble crater]

I want to save the OP builds for honor mode runs

Astarion...
"Here little orphan, have some money"
Astarion disapproves

I made him donate his blood

[strong gulch]

You can't fix him.

[marble crater]

But we can make him better

[ripe obsidian]

I ended up with Wyll in his place. But Wyll is boring.

[marble crater]

Wyll and Karlach are the goodie two shoes of the party

They won't like what I have planned for my next run

[radiant frigate]

[strong gulch]

I think we ended up with karlach and astarian for a lot our play through. I had many angy outbursts lmao

[marble crater]

He is such an ass

Still always happy to see and talk to me though

[pale prairie]

so fucking good

[ember anvil]

i have gotten 3 purple lasguns in a row and still stuck with a green electrokinetic force staff that i want to use good god while leveling

[marble crater]

The game is right, use guns while leveling psyker

staves are bad at low levels and low stats

[ember anvil]

rip ill try it then

[marble crater]

Most important though: Assail

[ember anvil]

ill switch out my talent tree then for the mean time

also are inferno staffs more meta than electro in higher difficulties like havoc

[marble crater]

Both work in higher difficulties, for havoc inferno > voidblast > elektro

[pale prairie]

whoa you were leading in melee damage and managed to stay untouched? impressive

[uncut sinew]

voidstrike goated

[marble crater]

For auric (for me) Elektro > voidblast >>>>>>>>>>inferno>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>voidstrike

[ripe obsidian]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not

[ember anvil]

noted

[radiant frigate]

voidstrike denier

[marble crater]

Denier? I barely know her

[zinc phoenix]

Ok ep assail with SG is kinda like crack

It’s not all that good but you can kill so much so fast that it’s super entertaining

Especially with the shard refund

[strong gulch]

just keep throwing

[marble crater]

I will next time I play auric. Not even going to use assail either

My team won't know what hit them

[strong gulch]

Throw yourself into a ditch when no one is looking. Unsanctioned Core™

[marble crater]

Maybe I will "accidentally" hit a barrel

[strong gulch]

Beans Core™

wait it's aura farming now

[marble crater]

I will try to farm Clad's aura next time

[zinc phoenix]

In both senses 😆

[pale prairie]

Wait I think I am reading this wrong. I assumed the damage breakdown underneath the melee breakdown was just a continuation but it’s just total damage based on enemy type

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, my scoreboard has a lot of stuffs in it

I had 4 melee kills and 75k melee damage

[ripe obsidian]

This is the bullying. Red rager right near the end.

[pale prairie]

That’s so mean

You did really good

[ripe obsidian]

Also a random mutant got a single slam on me past that

[pale prairie]

And the AI director just said no

[ripe obsidian]

It was a Trojan Pogryn, its belly full of ragers

[pale prairie]

I know they need the clipping because of density issues but it really feels unfair

[ripe obsidian]

My big issue is less with sneaky maulers and ragers, and more with Trappers cleaving through an entire horde

[pale prairie]

Flamers doing the same is so irritating

[ripe obsidian]

Eh, if we can do it to them, flamers can do it to us

That seems fair

And while flamers can be run-ending, they're not as obscene as a trapper nailing you through a wall of bulwarks

[pale prairie]

I agree it’s fair I still hate it

[ripe obsidian]

All heretics are deserving of hate

[pale prairie]

And obstacles

I sometimes wonder if it’s a learning AI or just some bastard programmed crazy combos like wall of bulwarks then a flamer and trapper

[pale prairie]

I’ll kill some red ragers for you

As retribution

[ripe obsidian]

Please do

They deserve it

[ripe obsidian]

I have seen nothing in the code implying the director learns the players' behaviors. It could be something hidden serverside, but it mostly reacts to specific triggers, like someone being out of coherency or progressing too quickly

[pale prairie]

Yeah I feel like it would be kind of glaring if they had something like that in the code. They’ve just been able to mimic it with a wall of triggers

[ripe obsidian]

Also, the data so far backs up the idea that Wildfire leads to more special kills. It is not enough data points to draw a good conclusion, but wildfire is averaging 27.65% of total specials versus Warp Battery's 21.49%.

At this point, though, it's basically anecdotal. Different teams, different maps, different seeds.

I am also averaging ~0.4 more Shrieks per minute with Warp Battery and 0.5 more stacks of Warp Siphon.

[pale prairie]

Whoa that is not insignificant

Hmmmmhmmmm yeah it might be more of a what feels good in a moment

Maybe if there’s a good specialist sniper on the team go warp?

[ripe obsidian]

With wildfire, so far ~86% of my total kills are soulblaze versus ~84% for Warp Battery.

[pale prairie]

Yeah I wouldn’t expect wildfire to be killing a lot more like “helping” kill

Damage is damage

[strong gulch]

Sounding pretty side grade.

[pale prairie]

BB and KF aside

[pale prairie]

Which is a sign of balance in my opinion

[ripe obsidian]

Yes. But I am having fun gathering numbers.

At this point it is more an excuse to play with Excel than anything else

[strong gulch]

Ye to both.

[pale prairie]

Not as OP as potato’s trick walls

[strong gulch]

So the ole "ehh pick the one you like" still rings true

[pale prairie]

Yeah but now we have data to back it up!

[ripe obsidian]

I will continue to gather data

[pale prairie]

Below havoc I kind of feel wildfire is better due to the lack of elites

[ripe obsidian]

0.4 more shrieks per minute is like 12 more shrieks in a 30 minute game. At least with my playstyle.

[pale prairie]

0.4 x 30 IS 12 yes

[strong gulch]

Ye. Vary from player to player.

and of course only relevant to shriek purg

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, not sure that this would translate in a meaningful way to bubble

No idea how I would compare wildfire bubble and warp battery bubble

Number of bubbles versus soulblaze damage % and DPM, I guess?

[strong gulch]

Bubble on cooldown isn't how bubble is really used too.

It can be

[pale prairie]

Yeah it would probably be more about how many bubbles per match yeah

[ripe obsidian]

For me it can be. Throw bubbles and charge

https://tenor.com/view/charge-monty-python-holy-grail-attack-knights-gif-5136568

[pale prairie]

Like aggressive bed time stories

[ripe obsidian]

Exactly.

[strong gulch]

My speculation is that wildfire is better if you are a bit conscious of bubble placement. Inferno bubble's range is reduced compared to shriek inferno. That also means less spreading tho.

But it's splitting hairs. Roll a die and choose.

[ripe obsidian]

So far Wildfire is ~1.5% higher crit rate on average. 40.6% versus 39%. I guess Warp Nexus level.

[ripe obsidian]

It is. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything at this point

I just like the data

[fresh reef]

@verbal thistle am I allowed to join ur H40s with this wacky build?

[verbal thistle]

ye

[fresh reef]

YAYYYY

[ember anvil]

okay now that im trying it ya assail is chill

[fresh reef]

@verbal thistle just to be clear tho, u said earlier you did not like smykers

so I'm curious like

is a smyker just having smite

or no

(also sorry I am currently quite drurnk)

[verbal thistle]

you are drunk

well I would never accept smite

but I know your steam name

[fresh reef]

I see I see

mainly just using it for the debuff tho

and shooter control

[ripe obsidian]

Anyone wanna goof around in Auric? I need diamantine for my weeklies

Also I have made some changes to my PC config and want to see how they impact performance

[broken carbon]

a smyker is anyone who primarily uses smite

like, a majority of the match

though even then, a smyker smiting a pack of ragers or shotgunners that a zealot is charging into can be annoying, as it just disables them as a threat, meaning no buffs from dodging, and its also just less fun

so its kinda situation dependant

but something like smiting a pack of gunners to throw them to the ground, or open up bulwarks is perfectly fine, and IMO, the best way to use smite

as quick staggers for primary targets

[jovial juniper]

The best way to use smite is EP Smite hold it until everything dies

[broken carbon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046913589614747719/1406248267368628365/gifkitties_-_1956340292048585178.gif

Gonna try to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight

how get 17% tough curio

[prime elk]

gambling or getting lucky

[coral tartan]

ok, just makin sure im not missing something. ty

i love gambling

[fresh reef]

I used it for one game

hated it

never using smite again

I do this every time I try smite lol

[coral tartan]

I cant stop playing FGS/Trauma SG

everything else feel bad

[zinc phoenix]

Shotgun assail build when a single carapace arrives: “hehe… I’m in danger”

[verbal thistle]

what?

melee exists for a reason

[strong gulch]

I might also be available in an hour. I'll check back in then.

[zinc phoenix]

Midway thru carapace only mael I decided it doesn’t 😆

[verbal thistle]

F

[coral tartan]

for the 17% curious would you have a higher chance on higher power curio, so youd expect to get them more frequently as a mission reward from higher diff missions?

[ripe obsidian]

17% toughness is only on 410 and up, I believe.

So yes, higher power curios have higher stat bonuses.

[coral tartan]

right on

[ripe obsidian]

As a note, the gambling people mean is through Melk's shop. Random defensive curio

Otherwise, I just use the Armory Exchange plugin for browsers to keep an eye on it

Though I saw a 17% toughness for my Arby earlier, then forgot until it was too late to log in and buy it. =|

I am often fascinated by the builds I see on reddit and on Gameslantern. Today:

"So my main character is a Psyker with an Assail blitz, Inferno staff, shock maul (all maxed out) and barrier shield (not dome because its better imo)."

[pale prairie]

HOLY SHIT I SAW THAT TOO

He says it works great for him but something about arbiter hating that he used assail on crowds of chaff. I wanted to ask what difficulty he was playing

[zinc phoenix]

I’m so tempted to do a trauma assail sg build

Just to really blow myself up while doing nothing much 😆

[dusk void]

How the hell do I cheat in this game? and the dead should stay quite. Hate these type of people in game

[ripe obsidian]

How about you tell us how you cheat, cheater?

[coral tartan]

keeping all the secrets in your head huh?

[dusk void]

I believe he's mad because he died too early in the game

[ripe obsidian]

You must've killed him

Cheating via PvP

[ripe obsidian]

I don't want to be an elitist ass, and I am glad that people are having fun playing their way. But there's still that voice in me that's like, "but... but..."

[pale prairie]

Yeah I decided not to comment. I just am picturing the build in my head

[strong gulch]

Eating dinner. I'll be available soon

[spiral storm]

hating Smiker is just a symptom of people wanting to get green circles/yellow numbers subconsciously

in high havocs it takes a good few seconds to kill pox walkers with EP smite but people still feel cheated for not being able to fight the entire horde solo or cheated that they didn't get to kill a crusher horde solo

yes it does make the game too easy in many situations because now you can freely smack the crushers or ragers

but people don't hate inferno pyskers the same way despite doing way more way faster because at least they get to dodge the crusher a few times

That is my theory

[pale prairie]

I think in my opinion it's less about making the game boring (Maybe at lower difficulties) but that at auric or higher I tend to see smykerss go down alot. They are kind of stuck when channeling and the blitz seems to sometimes let go of enemies that are too close

[pale prairie]

The difference in your description is that one gets to play the game and the other doesn't. Smite turns off enemies. Throwing fire DoTs on things doesn't really turn them off. They can be staggered but not totally immobile no chance to react

also on havoc with rampage smite is kinda not great

[spiral storm]

that too

cc reduction really hurts

people also don't hate on trauma staff psykers

despite also doing what smiker does

[pale prairie]

there's alot of strong feelings about it. I can see why it makes the game boring, but it is a cool ability. Regardlesss I think this is a sign it needs to be tuned to be maybe more interesting and less boring.

[ripe obsidian]

Rampage is orange. Final Toll is red

[pale prairie]

whoops

[ripe obsidian]

Smite is a strong ability. It gives a level of battlefield control nothing else does, not even Chorus or Taunt.

[spiral storm]

trauma staff, ogryn rumbler

[ripe obsidian]

Problem is, it makes the game less interesting and it reinforces bad habits in the Smyker.

[ripe obsidian]

Smite is 100% better at CC than either of them

[spiral storm]

rumbler maybe, trauma not so much

[pale prairie]

trauma staff gets just a small circle and takes careful aiming or you are done

well maybe not small but its a circle vs a whole room

[strong gulch]

@ripe obsidian @pale prairie I have eaten dinner and am availaible. 🫡

[pale prairie]

Rumbler is overtuned with the infinite ammo

[ripe obsidian]

Trauma gives you strong stagger in a small area for X time, then elites are immune to CC for a time after

You cannot stunlock Crushers with Trauma

They will get back up and squish you

[pale prairie]

@ripe obsidian I am ready

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, I'll log in

[strong gulch]

Yeah. Big know something over stagger gets an immunity to stagger agter getting up.

[ripe obsidian]

Still no voice for now. Houseguests are here for another few days.

[pale prairie]

good thing you type fast

[strong gulch]

We can chill in VC if anyone wants to talk, but not needed

[ripe obsidian]

Smite also does significantly lower damage than Trauma, albeit more spread out.

[pale prairie]

sure looks cool though

[pale prairie]

which one

[ripe obsidian]

Anyway, Smite does make the game less fun, especially for Zealots who live and die by the dodge

[spiral storm]

idk why my discord crashed

[strong gulch]

12?

[pale prairie]

As long as six can hear me screaming to be picked up

[ripe obsidian]

And Smite players are often not great at other mechanics because they rely on Smite to contribute and struggle when it's not working.

In Havoc, especially red or purple, Smite is basically useless.

[spiral storm]

trauma staff circle staggers in a circle bigger than it shows

[strong gulch]

https://discord.gg/sDW4KnDS

[ripe obsidian]

Weak stagger is.

Not strong stagger

There are multiple levels thereof.

[spiral storm]

it did it again

stagger scales with the circle

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know what point you're making.

[spiral storm]

with a good sized cirlce you'll stagger anything

[ripe obsidian]

It's not the same level of stagger at all distances.

If you land the circle on a crusher, it will fall over. Then it will stand back up and be immune.

[spiral storm]

crushers being immune to the stagger only lasts until they're fully up again

[ripe obsidian]

No

It does not.

They get something like 6 seconds of immunity

Also, @pale prairie >:(

[strong gulch]

@tulip kettle are you looking to join our aurics?

It is, in fact, exactly 6 seconds.

[pale prairie]

6 is a lovely number

[spiral storm]

I'mma be real

I feel like I'm constantly suffering from mandela effect with this game

I've never noticed crushers being immune to CC

[ripe obsidian]

It get more noticeable in high Havoc when you are alone with a dozen crushers chasing you

Okay, worker threads set to 4. Use the damn GPU, Darktide.

Not better.

[pale prairie]

this is just an amazing feet of software and hardwar

[ripe obsidian]

I'm gonna try something goofy and turn on raytracing

[pale prairie]

I hear its the light particles of the future

[zinc phoenix]

They had to add those modifiers because smite was breaking havoc tho 😂

[pale prairie]

I mean I feel like its not the only thing

it is distinctive

[ripe obsidian]

I'm just trying to trick the game into actually using my GPU

i9-10850k, 3080

My cat has hit the reset button on my PC while I was doing something. So this might take a bit longer.

Go ahead and play without me. Not sure how long this will take.

I'm also running almost every setting at low.

[ripe obsidian]

I will try this

[cold geode]

let me know if you have any questions

links to all the source materials are also there as well

[ripe obsidian]

Will do. I'm just getting frustrated with losing like 5-10 fps with every major patch

I'm trying to get more than 50 fps in game.

I used to be solidly between 100 and 110.

No, it's been a slow decline

It's solely this game as well.

Not recently

Today, and yes, it persists without mods.

Yes.

CPU is hitting maybe 60 on this game

GPU is around 50

DDU, no. Just clean installs through the Nvidia app.

[broken carbon]

any new programs you use that may have a memory leak?

also can try setting the game to a higher priority

[ripe obsidian]

Again, it's solely this game. Everything else runs perfectly fine.

[broken carbon]

shrug !

just an idea

[ripe obsidian]

Sorry, I'm tired and frustrated. I think I need to go to bed

[ripe obsidian]

I'm more thinking Cyberpunk on High/Ultra at like 80-90 FPS solidly

But it actually uses my GPU.

GPU shows like 80% usage for Cyberpunk, 30% for Darktide.

[broken carbon]

!

ive had some issues with games not being high priority

[ripe obsidian]

It doesn't use it more on higher settings.

[ripe obsidian]

Where are you setting this? Task manager?

[broken carbon]

yah

[broken carbon]

task manager, in details

dont set it to real time, just high

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

I turned it on to try to fix this. D:

[broken carbon]

im doing some googling 2 see if i can find any possible causes,

do you have vsync on in game?
or any power saving settings on in windows? (ik this would probably affect all games but im just spitballing)

wait

idea,,

one sec

[broken carbon]

have u changed ur worker threads count at all

in the DT launcher

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I've tried a few different settings. 9 seems to be the best, but I am open to trying others.

[broken carbon]

ive got mine at 13 rn

and on pretty decent settings i hover around 100 i believe

and thats with 50 ragdolls max

[ripe obsidian]

What's your total CPU count?

[broken carbon]

16 i think

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, so you're at like 3/4-ish

[broken carbon]

yah

i havent touched my thread count in dt like

since launch though

so there could probably be a better option im just

lazy,,

[ripe obsidian]

I appreciate the help

[broken carbon]

yah of course

[broken carbon]

have u tried just closing every other background program aside from steam and running only DT?

also i think trying DDU isnt a bad idea either

nvidia drivers stinky,,

[ripe obsidian]

Well, one of the things I have tried has pushed the GPU usage to 60% from 30%

Lemme spawn into a mission to see if that does anything

[broken carbon]

kk !

paws crossed

[ripe obsidian]

Nope. Dropped to mid-50s on a horde. But I am starting to wonder if ray-tracing is somehow stuck on.

'cause these laser reflections are, uh

[broken carbon]

i think thats an issue iirc

[broken carbon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/y4iuig/psa_disabling_raytracing_in_the_config_file/

2 years old but worth checking

[cold geode]

its not

there are ray calculations that the game uses that are not light dependent that are required to be on for the game to function, most of those commands in that thread either don't exist anymore or don't do anything

[strong gulch]

@ripe obsidian can or do you want to play?

[ripe obsidian]

I think I am going to go to sleep. Getting too frustrated. But thank you

[cold geode]

blood/lightening/other dot effects when applied to mass hordes are the largest FPS drain the game has.

[strong gulch]

Gotcha

[ripe obsidian]

Thanks for the help with graphics stuff, all of you. I will fiddle with it more when I am less exhausted.

[strong gulch]

Sounds good.

We had silly games. There will be more.

Also my cats says, "Meow mow MIIIIIAAAAooo Mahm!!"

1 am bedtime stories

[deft stump]

I get that. When you manage 140 fps with old DLSS when you started but barely get 60 with the new one on performance now... on just mourningstar even.

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

This is exactly my issue.

[deft stump]

Just FS lack of optimisation showing.

More arbies, the lower it gets even.

It goes up to 110 if I literally only look at a blank wall at graveyard hours so alone on it.

Turn around to face Hadron and well. 45 FPS.

Shrugs.

[deft stump]

@ornate hamlet Wot. I'm serious. This game is just... ??? at it.

[ornate hamlet]

U should see the drop on ps5 sometimes i go to fps 1,and game crashes immediately

45 fps is fine

[deft stump]

That's game issue. The game nearly crashed a few times last night. Freeze framed with looping noises but fixed itself.

[ornate hamlet]

[summer prairie]

Better buff management fixes the buffs not showing if you make a custom buff bar

[ornate hamlet]

I think devs are horrible with optimization

[summer prairie]

It's probably going to get fixed in the base game "soon"

[ornate hamlet]

Also we console ppl play on 60 fps because devs locked it

[deft stump]

I mean, not like you'll have stable 60 already, RIGHT?

[ornate hamlet]

Maybe i want to use my powerful console for 120 fps

[deft stump]

GL with that Lmao.

[ornate hamlet]

Ps5 actually supports 120 fps on some games,not all, sadly Dat is only 60 fps,even on performance mode

[deft stump]

But you see, some games get stable 144... DT... barely even gets stable 30.

[ornate hamlet]

U should see quality mode on fat ps5 on DT,them 15 fps are hard

[deft stump]

I mean... I can see on PC.

I heard my specs is like slightly better?

[ornate hamlet]

I remember when i played dota 1 on single core PC

Game starts at stable 30 fps,the more it progresses the worse it gets

[deft stump]

I actually cap the fps myself for it. No point 2-3x my monitor fps.

[ornate hamlet]

What monitor u use?

[deft stump]

AoC. One of the cheaper 144hz 1080 ones.

[ornate hamlet]

I think its fine for your pc

[deft stump]

I know, I don't need higher since nothing will really run twice that well anyway.

Except older stuff but eh.

[ornate hamlet]

My one is Asus - TUF 27' inch curved,165 hz ,1 ms however it's horrible from what ppl told me

[deft stump]

I mean, I suspect the double tier smears is my monitor.

Ppl did complain about it.

But it was the cheapest... 6 arcanas in trade.

Back when the value of full unlocks were higher.

[ornate hamlet]

Probably both pc n monitor fault

[deft stump]

Yep.

Plus DLSS smears.

[ornate hamlet]

U are fine,it could always be worse

[deft stump]

True. Crash on start. XD

[ornate hamlet]

No pc i mean

My single core pc lasted from 2003 to 2015

Motherboard failed at the end

[deft stump]

XD

[ornate hamlet]

Now I don't have a PC,no need , console is more comfy 😉 also psykers on top

[deft stump]

Wot.

[ornate hamlet]

No idea i am on a sugar rush send help

[deft stump]

I wish I was, but no mood to go out and get disbeetus.

[plucky flax]

1080p in 2025

[deft stump]

I told you before I don't have that much money. Gaming is a luxury and anything luxury is insanely priced.

[hearty wolf]

Tell me about it 😭

I just spent 4.5k in a month

I feel crippled

[deft stump]

It's like cars. It's a luxury here.

Quarter of a mil min to own one, and more for parking, fuel and everything.

Bikes are too dangerous. Bro in law got hit by a shitty taxi driver recently. Broken arm that did not heal right.

Was in surgery to correct it.

[ornate hamlet]

[radiant frigate]

are we talking motorized or foot-powered

[gray juniper]

Oops. I replied to the wrong text. This is what I meant. You only need deflector and KD then it’s like bubble but just for you.

[deft stump]

Motorised, why on the road. Foot bikes are dangerous to pedestrians only. Reckless bike use is normal. Is like cars vs motorbikes.

Bigger vehicle wins.

[radiant frigate]

recklessness is the norm?

[deft stump]

Also the fact foot bikes are allowed on footpaths but you can be fined for driving a motorbike on said footpath in many areas.

[deft stump]

Is the younger gen picking it up. Go FAST and spam the bell (if there's one).

[gray juniper]

Yea that’s common in a lot of countries

[plucky flax]

Well it's for walking

[gray juniper]

In the US, it has weird inconsistencies

[plucky flax]

Bicycle shouldn't even be on it

[deft stump]

But they are.

And the riders think they have right of way.

[gray juniper]

Bikes are allowed on sideway, mandatory side walk only or banned from sidewalk depending on the city or state

[deft stump]

This isn't the path with separate ride and walk halves. This is just one path.

[gray juniper]

In the US, blame cyclists for this

[zealous wing]

yeah but the bubble is more utility, for things like data interrogations, if theres too many gunners, if we need to push through a doorway, etc

[deft stump]

Where is barely big enough for 2 ppl to walk side by side.

[zealous wing]

worked fine last night in auric

[gray juniper]

That’s true. The better you get the less reliant you are on it, even in static defenses. The better your team members are the less they need it also

[zealous wing]

its also a great way to make sure we're all groupd together on lower diffs, i've noticed if i place it some people just stay inside the bubble to kill

[gray juniper]

Having bubble + KD + deflector in auric is a lot of defense focus that could be reinstated to offensive damage power

[zealous wing]

thats what the other people are for

besides the three points from bubble dont go far

[gray juniper]

Nah play other classes. You’d be surprised how much slower at mass killing they can be depending on loadout and circumstances

[zealous wing]

and i struggle to even remember to use combat stims, so SG would take a ton of work to learn

[gray juniper]

Psyker is the compliment to the ogryn. Ogryn is high damage + tank. Psyker is high damage + special abilities

[gray juniper]

Yes that’s true. The subtext is that vent would be used instead of bubble

[gray juniper]

Understandable as do I. With scriers gaze the perks act as the damage buff itself fortunately

[zealous wing]

vent is useless to me

[gray juniper]

How could that be?

[radiant frigate]

vent does so much aoe damage

[gray juniper]

No one is telling you that you must play a certain way by the way. This is just advice that you’d compound more damage and learn more to play around bubble downtime/in more difficult situations on higher difficulties if you practice and run games with out

Objectively though, vent is quite excellent

[hearty wolf]

I read the word "auric"

Everything is useless on auric so

[ornate hamlet]

Why?

[hearty wolf]

You don't need damage in auric, and you also don't need defence because nothing deals damage

Movement speed best stat so I guess it's scriers 🤔

[radiant frigate]

that's a funny way of describing it

[white valley]

I get what you're saying but that doesn't apply to players who are challenged by auric

[radiant frigate]

maybe i should play dt again

[radiant frigate]

stealth knife time

[hearty wolf]

Still works though. If they're taking damage, they could just move faster instead

And if they aren't dealing much damage. Go faster so you skip the level and you don't need to deal any damage 🤔

[radiant frigate]

run-move quick-fast yes-yes

[white valley]

That will teach them very little that is applicable in havoc and auric maelstroms

[hearty wolf]

Disagree

Nothing is immune to move speed unfortunately

Game is kinda poopoo like that

Knife Zealot meta since 2014

We cry

[white valley]

Move speed won't let you finish havocs if you don't deal damage

But sure, move speed is amazing and lets you avoid most enemies

It's part of why combat knife and duelling sword are so strong

They basically give you 15-20% more sprint speed

Average psyker player

[strong gulch]

Not sorry. It was me.

[glacial vapor]

Nothing fills me with dread more than all psyker pub games

Even vets can usually shout their way to victory

[deft stump]

Is just trappers. Shout won't save you at my ping.

[gray juniper]

You’d think it would be the reverse but it’s unfortunately not true for the majority of the player base

First all psyk game I had was awesome and we steamrolled the map

Later ones… not so much

[deft stump]

Assail till you watch everyone die to crushers and be screwed.

Remind me to ban Larks from psyker while GF is playing vet.

[ornate hamlet]

Why? Is he that bad

[marble crater]

So many reaction emotes and none are from Karien, what is going on?

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/genshin-impact-eula-blinking-blinking-eyes-stare-gif-26559016

[deft stump]

Psyker? Yes. As good as GF is on vet. She apparently was god at lvl 3 and just blep after more and more.

[strong gulch]

honestly that's a mood

[marble crater]

Oh no, the gremlin is here now

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/wat-old-woman-toothless-confused-grandma-gif-5196407

[deft stump]

I mean, lvl 3 on overwatch with only melee used. So starter shovel.

[gray juniper]

I got back into fortnite…

[deft stump]

How many rotten fruits you want your way?

[gray juniper]

I should be grilled for this

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/that-is-blasphemy-satan-south-park-s4e11-probably-gif-21638722

[gray juniper]

Every time the nephews have and extended stay and bring their Xbox this becomes a thing

So almost yearly

[ornate hamlet]

Could anyone suggest some Psyker builds that aren't melee? I'm wanting to branch out in my gameplay

[tulip kettle]

bunch of good builds in the post from potato in the pins

theres notes for changes to be made in high havoc

[hearty wolf]

Team I'm cooked

A senior manager wants to talk to me about something to do with the office

It's so over

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/shit-leslie-jordan-gif-11334450875675318506

make sure you mention your new baby and mortgage payments in the initial chit chat

[gray juniper]

Finally busted or finally shackled?

[rigid sky]

Inferno and voidblast builds do less melee than any other class and build in the game generally

that said, you probably still want a Deimos for killing stuff like Crushers and Mutants

or a DS4

[gray juniper]

Btw the constant high intensity and constantly changing focus of Darktide has made me better at carrying in this game funny enough

[quartz barn]

Because darktide isnt all that hard, and always the same

So it dulls your senses over time

[gray juniper]

No I’d say high level Darktide is definitely more difficult than regular fortnite

By some distance

[marble crater]

Good luck, maybe it's about a good thing

[gray juniper]

Now cash cups on fortnite are definitely more difficult than havocs per say

[marble crater]

Already compromised

[gray juniper]

Wdym?

[marble crater]

Fortnite has taken over, you need to quit

[gray juniper]

Lmao

I promise it won’t. I was burned out on that game long before

It’s nice to have a change of pace to not get burned out on tide which is great

[radiant frigate]

it's joever

[deft stump]

You are playing against mostly kids.

[gray juniper]

You’d be surprisingly wrong on that

In the competitive modes it’s almost all adults
