psyker-class

[pale prairie]

They do but uh there’s a lot of trash

[white valley]

Does shriek kill hordes with rampaging enemies in havoc 40?

[tulip kettle]

rampaging can make even the trash tank

[tulip kettle]

no

[pale prairie]

Yes it just takes more time and better awareness of spacing

And multiple shrieks

[tulip kettle]

second shriek does it

[zealous wing]

45/100 damnation to get access to auric myself, however many games that is

[tulip kettle]

doesplaying aurics increase it faster? if not we can just go to damn

[iron flame]

Ohhh ... while i do like to use shriek espically to have those omg, i accidently overload moment, i figured i want to be more of a team player and go with the shield skill. Noticed that in heresy so far, it is mass gunners that shreds the team.

[tulip kettle]

i dont know how the unlocks work tbh

[zealous wing]

it does for lower teirs

[pale prairie]

I thought it does

[brave drift]

I hate this new levelling unlock thing.

[upper sun]

idk took me a long ass time on arby

[brave drift]

I haven't touched Veteran in so long cus of this

[upper sun]

dumbass system

[brave drift]

luckily I levelled Ogryn and Zealot already a year ago.

[hearty wolf]

Whoever made it should be fired

[pale prairie]

Then voidblast or ek is great with bubble on heresy. Just make sure if you EK you have a melee weapon to deal with hordes or speed to reposition

[white valley]

That means no then

[upper sun]

everything until heresy was me and several others with account level 300+ walking to the end and shit talking fatshark

[pale prairie]

Still doable thanks to PC. I think shriek only kills trash in like aurics and below

[ripe obsidian]

I don't have issues

[pale prairie]

You still shit talk Fatshark

[iron flame]

Hmm shoot, i don't have image perms, what perks should i slap on my EK ? It is 470. I have eh Flak and Carapace. Warp Flurry and Warp Nexus for blessing.

[upper sun]

yeah but then i did it in game while waiting for the elevator

[ripe obsidian]

Imo Shriek is actually better for team play... if your team has some common sense and survival skills.

[brave drift]

best thing about EK staff is the crit explosion effect

[hearty wolf]

I'd drop cara for maniac

[pale prairie]

I think I usually go unyielding over carapace but maniac is good too

[ripe obsidian]

I do Flakiac on EK. Want to kill elites and specials fast

Last night I ended up on teams with little boss damage, so that EK build didn't actually do so well, ha. Was fine until bosses showed up

[hearty wolf]

Deimos

Dead-boss-mos

[iron flame]

Lol in heresy, it really depends on the team mate. Some drops like flies the moment and horde and boss comes. Sometime it is a boring breeze. Soo i figured i play it safe as i move into damnation.

[ripe obsidian]

I want to see you solo an H40 boss with Deimos, especially with a horde of purple crushers as its entourage.

[hearty wolf]

Give me the situation, and I will perform

without kd

[ripe obsidian]

I just did.

Power Matrix, big open area with catwalks before the mid event. 2 teammates dead, you have EK+Shriek+Deimos, other teammate is a book zealot who doesn't do damage

Modifiers are Purple+slime

[pale prairie]

Yeah that’s why I go unyielding. Also helps with bulwarks I believe.

[ripe obsidian]

Scab armor seed

[ripe obsidian]

Bulwarks, reapers, monstrosities

[hearty wolf]

you still have split aggro, zealot book screaming in the corner 😭

[iron flame]

Hmm is Smite and Empowered Psy good idea or i better go with Warp Siphon keystone instead ?

[ripe obsidian]

He mostly followed me while I alternated between running, Shrieking, and trying in vain to zap purple Crushers

Got the boss to like half HP before it healed back to full

[ripe obsidian]

Smite is a dirty word here.

In the code, I believe smite is EK, tho

[iron flame]

💀 Oh ppl don't like Palpatine build ?

[pale prairie]

With EK warpsiphon is better cause you want the Empyric resolve

[iron flame]

💀

[ripe obsidian]

I think Ainz doesn't use ER on EK. And we should all strive to be Ainz.

Note: we can never be Ainz.

[pale prairie]

Fuck that! The peril cost is insane on it

[iron flame]

Guess i go with Brain burst. I am also fine with popping heads. Heck, i was psyker main before all these fancy Palphine, and Assail is introduced and popping heads all the time.

[brave drift]

Is that a Youtuber?

[ripe obsidian]

I have no idea if Ainz has YouTube videos

[pale prairie]

I did it for a while on a weird DD build I was doing but the peril management was too much brain stress

[ripe obsidian]

He's just a guy who hangs out here and is too good at the game

[pale prairie]

He plays a lot

And is good

Very helpful with wild build combinations too

[ripe obsidian]

Brain Burst + Kinetic Flayer is very popular.

I've been rejected from a few groups recently, I assume for not running bubble.

[median furnace]

The concept behind it was good, having to do enough lower difficulty games so people don't immediately jump into Damnation or Auric as soon as they hit lvl30.
It's just overdone a bit where the amount of games you have to play to unlock is a little overkill.

[hearty wolf]

Is true

However, I am here for hyperbole

Murder them >:(

The main problem with it is that it applies to accounts that are already 30

[brave drift]

it should be easier for people with already level 30 characters.

[iron flame]

I have no clue what i am doing with my build but i am just clicking on nodes that i know i will be doing a lot. Will go on damnation now. Will report back my result lol

[brave drift]

that's the spirit

how else will you learn?

[ripe obsidian]

It was actually really bad when it first changed. Loads of Havoc and Auric and such players blazing through the lower difficulties and carrying Malice players way beyond their ability. I wouldn't be surprised if it led to a drop in players from people getting frustrated once the Havoc folks went back to Havoc

[median furnace]

True, if someone already has lots of games with another Ogryn for example it should let you skip.

[verbal thistle]

Tap r when red

Shrimple as

[iron flame]

Oh wait, my Psyker have auric unlocked already ... but eh i will just start with damnation first.

[verbal thistle]

And yes I have a youtube

[pale prairie]

Just run some havoc 40s with your buddy then a couple aurics and you scream right through the damnation noob bar

[iron flame]

Oh it is ainz that ppl are talking about

https://tenor.com/view/damien-haas-oh-my-god-youre-right-smosh-smosh-games-gif-18382022

[verbal thistle]

Idk how to explain

I don't think about peril

My brain blocks it out

It's just muscle memory

[pale prairie]

Arbiter confirmed

[verbal thistle]

Havoc does change peril a bit

So my auric muscle memory is probably a lot worse now

[median furnace]

I saw that, Heresy game a couple of days ago, Zealot who didn't know how to block, and was hipfiring the lightest version of the Inf Lasgun to barely any effect, even when getting hit from the side by a Rager.
I accidentally got netted while rescuing someone else, and he and another player barely did anything, so I watched on spectate and he was randomly looking at stuff for 10 seconds each before picking it up.

[verbal thistle]

Yeah, alot more newer players in higher difficulty

It's funny when they get into my havoc 40 games

Makes my day

[median furnace]

The game failed, cause they got to where the other player and I were waiting to be rescued, and then just stood there while a sniper locked in on them, didn't even try to rescue, just stood there.
It's like they were seeing everything for the first time, and asking someone in the room next to them "wow, what is this?"

[verbal thistle]

Happens

[pale prairie]

Yeah Ainz when you gonna go elite damage and stop using shitty perks?

[pale prairie]

I feel the same thing every time someone fights trash instead of unnetting someone. It’s so fast you can start while they are still being pulled JUST DO IT

[zinc phoenix]

i like to kill trapper first because sometimes i get bumped by a mutie and then trapper is like "ho ho ho" and nets another person

but if hes fucked off into space then yeah net

[median furnace]

Absolutely, less than two seconds and now you have two people killing trash instead of one.

[ripe obsidian]

At least they teach you the proper perks to use on weapons.

[pale prairie]

Whatever works for you. I find that I can unnet before mutie or trapper renets unless the mutie is like right next to me

[verbal thistle]

True!

I miss that guy

[pale prairie]

More like rezing takes so long compared to just unnet haha

[median furnace]

I normally kill the trapper before they fire, or if I'm late right after they've fired, so it's already dealt with. Seen too many runs end where the trapper has netted all four players despite me pinging it.

[verbal thistle]

Speaking of that

I have a clip

[ripe obsidian]

I kill the trapper if it's still nearby. I have to suppress my urge to hunt it down and put a stake through its heart. At least until after I have saved my meat shield teammate.

[verbal thistle]

Within 1:30 1 trapper netted all 3 of my teammates in a havoc 40

The clip is on my PC, I can get it later

[pale prairie]

I don’t know why but my gut says the trapper reload takes longer than that….i know it doesn’t but that’s crazy

[ripe obsidian]

What a hero. Deserves to be a Chaos Champion with that work ethic.

[pale prairie]

Yep for sure getting nurgle blessed

[verbal thistle]

Might've been 2 min

But it was funny

[pale prairie]

Rinda’s Origin Story

[pale prairie]

then you got netted cause you fell over laughing?

[verbal thistle]

Winda and wodin moment

I just died to ragers

Cause I was laughing

[pale prairie]

Hey it’s my first time fighting them on hard mode

[upper sun]

nah ive seen how these go its the other way round with twins begging for mercy

[verbal thistle]

God

This was a year ago

New psyker ability

[ripe obsidian]

Warpstep

[pale prairie]

What the fuck

Was it the bot thrown off the edge and you just loaded into their falling body?

[verbal thistle]

Idk what causes that

But it happens often enough

[jovial juniper]

Psychic 🗣️

[verbal thistle]

Don't mind the editing

Don't forget to do this to your local pub

[upper sun]

this is gonna hurt me more than its gonna hurt you

[verbal thistle]

He killed it

Not me

[upper sun]

yea

[verbal thistle]

He didn't need to kill it

[upper sun]

he has until death

[verbal thistle]

Funny thing, after that he said "that actually wasn't funny" then leaves

Like a full minute after

[upper sun]

lmao hes no fun

[iron flame]

Ok ... i need to tweak my build a bit. Feels like both brain burst and EK are doing the same job.

[verbal thistle]

Yes and no

What ability are you using?

[pale prairie]

BB is really there as a passive

[verbal thistle]

Side note, nice bio. I love that song

[iron flame]

Empowered psy brain burst + Venting Shrek and electro staff.

[verbal thistle]

I don't see much value with EP on that build, as Krieger said BB is a passive for kinetic flayer plus a special sniper if EK can't reach

[pale prairie]

In essence you are right admiral EP BB is doing a lot of the same job as EK staff

[iron flame]

Ahh i see.

[verbal thistle]

Shrek is your horde clear with EK so going warp charges will reduce it's cool down

Shrek...

Shriek

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/yuimetal-gif-2236335851178412850

[pale prairie]

You basically want to go all cooldowns you can with EK Shriek build so that the shriek (which is your horde clear.) is up as much as possible. So psykinetic aura, and the seer’s presence, alongside ability cooldowns on your relics. With 4 warp siphon charges you should be getting it back at least every like 14 sec and that’s if you don’t get some elite kills to lower it more

[ripe obsidian]

Not a funny thing. He said so.

[pale prairie]

Remember to get peril up to 85% before shrieking to get maximum creeping flames stacks on enemies

[ripe obsidian]

83.5% >:(

(85% is safer)

[verbal thistle]

True peril mod makes it easier

Vanilla game peril likes to round up

My peril has 2 decimals

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-alert-bumper-adam-devine-pitch-perfect-lame-gif-17474980

[pale prairie]

So wild. I settled for 1

[tulip kettle]

smite is brainburst 🙃

and what we call smite is called like, chain_lightning or sthing i dont remember

[brazen compass]

Yeah, your brain bursts from how intense your eyeroll is when you encounter a smyker

[tulip kettle]

anyone for some aurics?

[brazen compass]

No hate against Smite though, it's very useful, but like any tool, you need to know how to use it first

[pale prairie]

Yeah it just needs a redesign cause it’s both too powerful and also a tool that teaches terrible habits.

[brazen compass]

like the Rumbler

[tulip kettle]

i just dont get these takes

smite is not even too powerful

its doodoo

straight poop

[zealous wing]

BuT iT fReEzEs EvErYtHiNg

IMO, if smite stops your entire game, go to higher diffs

[pale prairie]

At lower difficulties if someone goes all in on EP smite it’s kills hordes and freezes everything else for a long time. Especially if they grab venting shriek

[brazen compass]

"b-b-b-b-but numbers to numbers it horde clears better than the staves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[tulip kettle]

maybe in malice

[zealous wing]

i genuinely only used it for the penance, and, it was OK but, not really useful

[tulip kettle]

take it into rampaging 40 and watch everything dance for 10 seconds and not even die

[zealous wing]

i do miss assail tho so dearly

[pale prairie]

Did you take EP?

[zealous wing]

uh

[brazen compass]

Rampaging? Barely kills even in normal 40

But that's the point of the tool, a few seconds to pause

[tulip kettle]

kill everything

then read a book

[zealous wing]

no i dont think i did , mightve, idk, my old build let me hold smite for like, 20 seconds, then quell in less than one, and be back at it

[brazen compass]

Plus, if not immune to CC, then if you manually release, you can knock 'em back

[zealous wing]

maybe not 20 s but it was LONG

and no, no shriek

[tulip kettle]

i feel like you could have just killed everything instead

[pale prairie]

Which is why it teaches bad habits

[brazen compass]

You could, and honestly depends on the situation

[zealous wing]

yeah but needed penances, and it was just my spouse and i with 2 bots in private, so, genuinely, who cares

[tulip kettle]

i used it a few weeks ago, was last guy left and there was a group of shotgunners and ragers

i wa slike, hmm, time to test this smite EP

SIXTEEN SECONDS

and they didnt even die 😭

[brazen compass]

You didn't chop 'em up? smh

[zealous wing]

its good for pushing them over, though, use a good blade after ^

speaking of, i need to do that "throw enemies into the giant fan" penance

[brazen compass]

Yeah same

[tulip kettle]

i dont have that one

[pale prairie]

The EP keystone makes a difference especially if you get the jumping sub node and damage sub node not to mention Battle Meditation. Not saying it’s the best blitz at all but it ends up doing enough damage that it kills trash and then people go “oh it’s the best”

[verbal thistle]

Ogryn with no push over and taunt is easiest

[brazen compass]

Hourglass maps always go in and out of rotation (because issues) and it's a pain in the ass to play on those maps anyways

[verbal thistle]

Map is relay ststion

Can use mmt

[zealous wing]

its hard to get enemies by the fans with bots shooting them all

[brazen compass]

Right, but hey, they're not moving, so I don't have to learn dodge or melee if my lightning fingers stops them and kills them!

[zealous wing]

though i discovered you CAN trick the bots into walking into the fan and dying, solved half the problem

[pale prairie]

Then they bring that stuff to auric and higher and get all shocked like dom when it fails to kill the elite mobs. But they keep trying cause “it worked before”

[zealous wing]

maybe those of us without it can just private squad and get it done sometime

[brazen compass]

tbf, it does have killing potential in Auric but it's just.. gross

Like if you stack EP and the other nodes like you said earlier

All that effort and you can just spam left click on a non-flame staff

[pale prairie]

Yeah but that’s the difficulty where enough stuff comes in that you just die to the mob of elites the director spawns behind you

Can’t sprint and only 3 dodges and get hit and you drop the channeling so then you really dead

[brazen compass]

When I was leveling Psyker I went with Smite + EK just because thematically I love lightning

[pale prairie]

It needs to have a predetermined channel time like book or VoC and a better effect

[brazen compass]

No expectation for horde clear or damage or anything, it makes itself apparent what it does IMO

[pale prairie]

Or maybe just a blast of arc lightning that stuns for a few seconds so you can still do other useful things

[pale prairie]

Ah the old days when EP was bugged so you could infinitely channel smite. It was so dumb

[proper osprey]

Smite should be chaos reach form d2 me thinks

OR

make it better with melee

Make it strike lightning down on them

Like bb but aoe

[tulip kettle]

https://tinyurl.com/yc8hpnsh @zealous wing

[brazen compass]

tbh I like being able to control the direction enemies fall with Smite

I think that's how I got Cliffhanger

[proper osprey]

Smite can be useful if the person using it is good but majority aren’t

It’s 9.9/10

[brazen compass]

Unfortunately

[proper osprey]

But in reality the only time smite is ever good is and incredible amount of bulwarks or waves of disablers

[median furnace]

Worst thing is when smite is holding scattered trash at varying distances, while you're getting shot at by gunners, as a zealot or Ogryn you run out of toughness and can't reach stuff to top it up quick enough. Psykers who just use it all the time and think they're helping when they're locking up stuff that isn't a threat.

[brazen compass]

Also true, or a few seconds of breathing room in a super cramped spot

Like the absolute shit bottleneck in the beginning of Ascension Riser, that gate at the beginning

That's a slog in 40

[median furnace]

I like it for shoving bursters back

[brazen compass]

That's what my voidblast staff is for

[white valley]

Make smite have a cooldown

Your psyker's nervous system needs the cooldown to generate more electricity

[dull scroll]

I'll smite you 😬

[proper osprey]

[ripe obsidian]

Remove smite. Add black hole.

[pale prairie]

Black hole staff

We have voidblast lets have voidsuck

Just get the trifecta going

[white valley]

Add fireball staff

[pale prairie]

Voidstrike?

[white valley]

No, like the fireball staff in VT2

Throws a fat projectile that explodes and applies dot in an area

[pale prairie]

I feel like it’s too close to voidstrike to get made

[white valley]

Projectile has arc so no infinite range

[pale prairie]

Again I am not arguing they aren’t distinct I am saying that from a gameplay standpoint they are so similar I doubt they will add it. Maybe rework voidstrike sure but I don’t see the two existing at the same time

[white valley]

I just want more staves that do fire

Proper fire

Not blazing spirit

Fireball staff would also deal piss poor carapace damage

But good unyielding damage

[pale prairie]

This guy over here is a pyro

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-pyro-teamfortress2-teamfortress2pyro-fire-gif-13656490

[white valley]

Add coruscation staff

[iron flame]

Ok ... i see what is wrong with my build now. was wondering why on earth my toughness just don't replenish properly

[white valley]

Actually, is there a precedent for an ice staff? That would be cool too

[acoustic jacinth]

Space wolves psykers be like

[white valley]

Imperial fists psykers throw rocks

[acoustic jacinth]

entombes you into a wall

[ripe obsidian]

I agree with this.

An arcing fireball that explodes on contact

No cleave, no infinite range

Arc and kaboom, fire for everyone

[pale prairie]

I mean it sounds interesting but how is it different from voidblast?

Cause no CC?

[proper osprey]

I’d like the bolt staff

[white valley]

Voidblast is aimed at the floor, this would throw a projectile that explodes on contact with a surface or an enemy

This one wouldn't knock down everything, but would cause aoe burn and have different damage profiles than voidblast

Voidblast is very armor agnostic, it deals basically the same damage to everything

This one would be more like inferno in terms of damage profiles

[pale prairie]

I dunno AoE from voidblast with inferno damage profiles at range sounds really OP

[white valley]

It would be an arcing projectile with 0 cleave

So limited range by default

[pale prairie]

So if that’s the case I throw the projectile it lands in a horde but it hits a crusher then the fire gets only on the crusher cause of 0 cleave right?

[white valley]

No, the fire spreads to every enemy in the aoe

The projectile does not pass through anything though

At most a poxwalker

[pale prairie]

Lmao so it’s inferno’s infinite cleave/damage, Voidblast AoE explosion, but an arcing projectile to game the fact the projectile has “0” cleave

And it’s at range

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ripe obsidian]

Higher damage, probably. Less CC. Loads of fire. Different aiming profile, Different damage modifiers. Stuff Balsco said.

[pale prairie]

That really sounds insanely good

Like too good

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, depending on how you describe it, any weapon can sound too good

[pale prairie]

If the explosion has higher damage then the fire DoTs need to be lower in number or do less damage than Soulblaze. Especially with the arcing range component

[ripe obsidian]

I would want it to be another staff that can reliably apply Soulblaze. Would be fine with lower damage and CC than Voidblast in exchange for loads of fire

[pale prairie]

That makes more sense

LMB would just be like little baby versions?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, ideally. Low damage, single target, applies 1-2 stacks

[pale prairie]

Maybe little fireballs with tiny explosion and no arc

[ripe obsidian]

Maybe high stagger on that single target, or super high suppression

[proper osprey]

Burst fire staff

Shotgun staff

[pale prairie]

Hmmmmm okay like assail shards? That could be fun. Just shooting spikes of crystal at short range

[pale prairie]

I would need all projectiles to instantly ignite barrels

[dull scroll]

a staff with a special that deals ogryn nuke level of destruction at the cost of health 😏

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/you-crazy-man-akbar-gbajabiamila-matt-iseman-american-ninja-warrior-you-crazy-gif-14127557

[ripe obsidian]

No. Perils of the Warp.

[iron flame]

Hmm ok. After a few games of damnation. I can say that i need to be a lot more tankier.

[ripe obsidian]

My dream is that PotW does an Ogryn nuke of damage

[iron flame]

Any eh ... build that wil let me be pretty tanky ?

[ripe obsidian]

And does friendly fire and flings allies like barrels do

[dull scroll]

make it authentic and summon demons..like a chaos spawn 👍

[ripe obsidian]

Not really. Psyker mitigates damage, but does not tank it.

If you get hit, it hurts

[jovial juniper]

The ones where you don't get hit

That being said

Bubble

Just stay inside it lol

[ripe obsidian]

Yes. Turn it into a PvP game until your allies can put down the demon

[iron flame]

Yea ... i guess it is just skill issue for now. it is weird while leveling arbites on heresy, i rarely get hit but as soon as i step into damnation with psyker, i get down almost every run

[pale prairie]

A staff that when channeled heals corruption on yourself and can cast to heal up to a maximum corruption amount on Allies. Also makes peril explosion do amount of damage equal to the amount of corruption absorbed by it.

[iron flame]

I guess arbites is just super safe to play with all their dog eating anyone who tries to hit me from behind or something.

[pale prairie]

Yeah arbites can’t be compared to any class other than Ogryn right now. It has a bunch of talents that gives crazy amounts of toughness regen for stuff like “hitting enemies” and “staggering baddies” in addition to just killing stuff toughness gen

[dull scroll]

psyker peril explosion itself already should be more memeable
instead of just going down it should be more like a barrel explosion
and also summon demons 😏

[proper osprey]

Surprise dh

[pale prairie]

It really should be an Ogryn nuke. Maybe like it spawns a DH on the map everytime you go down

[dull scroll]

can't be DH guys, that needs a physical person and isn't lore accurate

maybe chaos spawn

[iron flame]

It is a shame because i really like the class fantasy but eh yea i guess it is just me being skill issue and refusing to play gunpsyker who will probably be easier for me since i will be melee most of the time and taking out gun when i need to snipe specials.

[pale prairie]

Yeah a demon reaches through and grabs a random cultist

[proper osprey]

Try melee psyker

[pale prairie]

What curios do you use? Do you have Empathic evasion or One with the Warp?

[iron flame]

Hmm does that even work ? From the way their works i thought i should be playing with perils all the time.

[proper osprey]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e81f1c9-3b63-4dc3-809b-9aee0aef4d51/terrible-melee-psyker-build

[iron flame]

Ohh no evasion but i do have one with the warp

[dull scroll]

oh shit that's a taxe here we go

[pale prairie]

Melee psyker typically uses a force sword that allows you to generate peril in a pinch. Other wise you use Assail and throw darts to keep peril up. If you have Kinetic Deflection you can block for a bit to generate too

[iron flame]

hmm i see. I will give that a try then

my psyker skills clearly disappeared since i remember playing on auric but eh i will give that melee a try

[ripe obsidian]

Arbiter can also gain something like 70% toughness from one kill

[pale prairie]

Give this a try and go all toughness curios with health and toughness and CDR perks on the curios

[dull scroll]

if you are going to use that taxe 7 make sure you know the combo, it's alternating between push atk and heavy atk

[pale prairie]

Don’t be afraid to switch to melee and keep glancing around to make sure you’re safe

Also you wanted bubble right?

[iron flame]

Ahh it is fine. I might as well give Scrier a try

[pale prairie]

That’s the vent shriek build that in my opinion works best with EK

[iron flame]

Ahh i see

[white valley]

psyker IS the hardest class to play, so don't beat yourself up over it

[pale prairie]

The idea is you shriek anytime it’s off cooldown and you have 85% peril. Aim it in a direction you are not focusing on. Let’s you protect your back if you have enemies there while still sniping elites in front of you with RMB. Your goal is to kill as many elites and specials as possible to get Cooldown bonuses towards Shriek and to spread more fire from Perilous Combustion

[white valley]

Psyker requires greater combat awareness due to generally having fewer immediate solutions, and no get out of jail for free cards, Psyker's also the squishiest class and therefore requires your active defense to be really solid, positioning, dodging, blocking, staggering

[iron flame]

Hmm that is true i guess. I find myself downing mostly from being hit from the back or something

[pale prairie]

Yeah be liberal with RMB casts. Sometimes just cast it at a low charge to CC an enemy and make space. Switch to your melee to run away or kill things that get to close. Always be watching around you. As a character that focuses on range with this build you’re probably gonna be the first to notice enemies approaching due most melee classes being stuck in the horde and focusing on killing trash

[pale prairie]

Turning down the voice whispering effects of high peril can also help you hear audio cues for something trying to hit you

[iron flame]

Oh yea i should do it.

what is that setting anyway ? i remember getting down a few time because of that.

[pale prairie]

It’s in gameplay I think under accessibility stuff “peril effects” I think

I usually have it between 25-30

[halcyon plover]

that's just Sienna Vermintide 2

[dull scroll]

perfect

now do it

[halcyon plover]

isn't that also your regenerative toughness from forceful?

but real

[upper sun]

perfectly balanced

meanwhile zealot gets 2 toughness

[pale prairie]

On hit and stagger toughness is crazy

[jovial juniper]

Ok ... that build definitely making me last wayyy longer but sadly still not ready for damnation lol. Got quick match into Damnation high intensity.

and it is just a single arbites carrying the 3 other players

[pale prairie]

You’re just having to learn the habits of a class that is literally polar opposite of arbiter hahaha

Yeah the hot patch fixed a bunch of very strong arbiter talents so they are eating really well right now

[pale prairie]

When heresy feels comfortable move up! But don’t be afraid to try out damnation at any time. Sometimes improvement in the game comes from being tossed in the deep end and improve or die hahaha

[tulip kettle]

@zealous wing

gj homie

[marble crater]

Not a good loot goblin

[zealous wing]

they had grabby hands

and the oggy was bitchy

usually i AM a loot gobbo but, too much brain power on new build

AND im sick on top of that...
forgiven? 🥺

[tulip kettle]

AND you didnt take 2.3k dmg like your sibling running the same build

[zealous wing]

wait was he really

[tulip kettle]

yup

[zealous wing]

thought he was using obscurus

[tulip kettle]

deimos

but otherwise the same tree

[zealous wing]

it looked obscurus

[tulip kettle]

with SG not bubble

[zealous wing]

hmm

[tulip kettle]

but its very similar

[marble crater]

What build

[tulip kettle]

weve got hex playing bubble squire

[zealous wing]

but, he did also say he didnt like it, so, if you outright dont vibe with something its gonna be a huge struggle

[tulip kettle]

yeah exactly, its no shade on hium

more to say, youre doing very well 🙂

[zealous wing]

ye he was willing to TRY

ill keep my eye out for a good laspistol when doing general quickplay grinding, so, what dump stat for it

[tulip kettle]

mobility usually

but the recon las youre using is just better tbh

[zealous wing]

k

[proper osprey]

Mk2 stability or moblity

[tulip kettle]

pistol is cool though cos its got a mini force push

[zealous wing]

i do want my stamina back for sure

[tulip kettle]

lie your sword

fair enough

[proper osprey]

Cookie clicker pistol

[tulip kettle]

dont forget though you only use it to sprint

as you have KD so blocking costs peril not stam

[zealous wing]

yeah which, i had a lil trouble moving, it felt like, getting from crusher A to bulwark B

not sure, testing required

[tulip kettle]

thats just cos bigly sword is slow

[zealous wing]

that too

[tulip kettle]

your recon las is your movement stick

[zealous wing]

its SO slow

k

but yeah, overall, i vibe with this better than the EK one, but, i do still have that tree if needed

[tulip kettle]

EK is more space wizard

this build is more space spellsword

much more meleeing

[zealous wing]

yeah one will likely be far better for maelstrom than the other (the ek is probably much better for maelstrom)

[tulip kettle]

its more that, EK is more "hang back and zap the specials and shooters"

this build is more "run at them and bonk them in your bubble"

[zinc phoenix]

Still slow. Based las pistol 🙏 lo, speed be upon ye

[zealous wing]

ill keep eye out for it for testing at the very least

[tulip kettle]

though, sliding with the crits from mettle and DD procs is very zoomy

[zinc phoenix]

You can mow thru maels very quick with a sg fgs las pistol build

Lots of tools for everything and solid monstrosity damage

[zealous wing]

i usually sell all my scraps for ordo then i dont have any actual weapons left

[zinc phoenix]

Captains are an ass pain

[zinc phoenix]

Just grind maels for money don’t sell stuff you’ll want it for sacrifice fuel

Maels are quick and easy

[tulip kettle]

lol oddball

youre forgetting how tough it is just to not tunnel vision on the pox trying to hit you when youre newer

[zealous wing]

as far as sacrifice fuel, i've found it more efficient to sell the stuff that doesnt match anything i need mastery, and then buy what does match

[zinc phoenix]

I find the best option is to have more money than you could possibly use

[zealous wing]

emperor knows ive got the plasteel for it

[zinc phoenix]

Oh lawd

[tulip kettle]

wallet check

[zealous wing]

i keep buying things i dont need

i've just been collecting everything because i want to

max soulfire turns out to not be good

[tulip kettle]

?

immediately disregarded

[zealous wing]

damn

rip

[vague musk]

tryed to get as many soulfire things and didnt do as much as i was hoping

[tulip kettle]

its by far the strongest DoT

[zealous wing]

what were you hoping for?

[tulip kettle]

and also meta for a reason

[marble crater]

One moment

[tulip kettle]

join us sut?

gonna go on some lower lvl havocs

[vague musk]

i feel like my smite is more effective

[tulip kettle]

lol

lmao even

[zealous wing]

i am gonna take a short break, walk around the house a little, i should be back before afk timer kicks me

[marble crater]

I guess I can join for one or two havocs

[tulip kettle]

np i go make a snack

please do 🙂

[zealous wing]

itll be H17, havent checked modifiers

[marble crater]

Too difficult

[zealous wing]

bullshit

[ripe obsidian]

...at what difficulty?

[vague musk]

auric

[marble crater]

My wallet

[vague musk]

dont play havoc

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, yeah, still no at Auric. Soulblaze does a billion more damage than Smite.

[zinc phoenix]

Smite is fun for reee spam

Because finally enough peril

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/dropout-game-changer-jacob-wysocki-mr-moneybags-gif-8837958319856302672

[ripe obsidian]

Just kill them.

[zinc phoenix]

Then it’s solved

[ripe obsidian]

Some recent games. Note the Soulblaze damage.

[zealous wing]

back

[vague musk]

im guessing havoc?

[zinc phoenix]

Smite is a great way to gimp your growth and get stuck moaning on aurics

[thorn cedar]

These Smyker with Shout games?

[zinc phoenix]

Zap psyker is a soulfire beast that happens to use smite sometimes

And cries when a boss shows up

😂

[deft stump]

6 wins in a row, you get 10 per win, -5 on loss, I think.

[zinc phoenix]

Unbelievable power

He is a god walking amongst mere mortals

[ripe obsidian]

Works fine in Auric, too.

Note: Inferno LMB, Voidblast RMB, and Shriek will all stagger ragers.

[tulip kettle]

insta crash

[ripe obsidian]

@vague musk what build are you using? Both staff and talents. I am happy to give advice or feedback if you want it. If not, that is fine as well.

[vague musk]

current one or the soulblaze one i tried

[plucky flax]

Anyone wants 1 game before

Win not guaranteed.

[ripe obsidian]

The soulblaze one in particular. I like burning things.

Gunker is all well and good, but fire.

[vague musk]

I just picked all the talants that give soulfire

[plucky flax]

Souldrinker Xd

No aura

This build is pretty high concept.

[vague musk]

my normal build has wildfire + combustion which works well with zappy

[white valley]

No warp rider?

[pale prairie]

Part of the problem is the staff 🙁

[vague musk]

its only mastery rank 2 or something lol, i dont use staffs most of the time

[white valley]

Penetrating flame can substitute warp nexus iirc for a bit more team damage, but warp nexus gives more personal damage afaik

The 20% brittleness from penetrating flame stacks with other brittleness sources, oddly enough

[pale prairie]

Yeah not a problem but inferno is a dot build that really benefits from squeezing as much min maxing out of the staff as possible. So crit chance and Flak damage perks in addition to the warp nexus and blaze away can help a lot. Warp resistance is the dump stat on it

[vague musk]

Ill try those changes next time I get on

[dull scroll]

warp nex is superior, key contribution of inferno is chaff clear and not having warp nex reduce chaff clearing speed drastically

[vague musk]

also so many people say smite is trash but its better them most people think

[pale prairie]

This is a build that might work better for you. The goal here is to cast venting shriek as often as you can at 85% peril. Having CDR perks on your curios can help with that too

[dull scroll]

it's really good for newbies because it boost their power above what they could achieve normally

[zinc phoenix]

Please check the pins 🙏

[dull scroll]

it's bad for experienced players because it caps their power lvl

[zinc phoenix]

Psyker is so comically strong

Smite is just 😂

[white valley]

Voidblast exists and is better than smite

[zinc phoenix]

Trauma, plz 🙏

[upper sun]

HER NAME IS TRAUMA

[vague musk]

nah smite is really good for managing large hoards, can stun massive amounts of enemies at once and kill poxwalkers pretty fast

[white valley]

Look yalls I prefer Trauma too but newbies don't know that

[upper sun]

🚬 theyll learn they always do

[pale prairie]

It’s really good at stunlocking enemies outside havoc. But it’s so good it’s boring to the rest of the team. In addition it takes away from some of the damage and utility that a psyker can provide when not Channeling. Finally it doesn’t teach core mechanics to Psykers like dodging, positioning and how to survive in melee.

[dull scroll]

compare to what, inferno/VB also does that, and does it better, only "down side" is more skill/input needed

[white valley]

Blame fatshark for renaming my beautiful purgatus

[zinc phoenix]

Reject wizard mentality

[marble crater]

@zealous wing @tulip kettle

[white valley]

Smite also offers 0 boss damage

[zinc phoenix]

The essence of psyker is “don’t be hit” and if you smite spam you never learn how to do that

[dull scroll]

palpy lightning does have its charms, just gets filtered out by better things at higher lvl

also the thing enrages melee players 😏

for good or ill

[vague musk]

don't use it on bosses then, i only use it when there is a boss if a hoard is coming, can stun the hoard/elite groups so the rest of the group can focus on the boss

[white valley]

Horde*

[halcyon plover]

if you smite spam you don't have to do that*
easy solution

[pale prairie]

That’s cool but you could also set the horde on fire and then use a melee weapon or BB with your soulblaze stacks to also help against the boss

[white valley]

You could be clearing chaff and elites with an Inferno or Voidblast staff while dealing more damage

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[radiant frigate]

bait again?

[pale prairie]

Figured you were hungry

[forest jolt]

got this bad boy today... but not sure how far I should upgrade it... dunno the breakpoints for charge rate and critical bonus... anyone have an idea?

[jovial juniper]

Smite is too good

[ripe obsidian]

Smite is fine. It's just CC, though. Its damage output is pretty minimal compared to other Psyker CC options, like Voidblast and Inferno. It relies a lot on Shriek/Creeping Flames for damage, and due to how Soulblaze scales, 6 stacks from Creeping Flames is significantly worse than, let's say, 15+6 stacks from Inferno. Like, way worse.

[jovial juniper]

This is good

[forest jolt]

so no more upgrades?

[jovial juniper]

You will want high quell speed

[forest jolt]

I thought quell speed had minimal effect.. like.. literally less than half a second worth

[pale prairie]

You can live with warp resistance being low but you can absolutely just max this baby and be just as happy if not more so

[forest jolt]

60-80 having something around 17 frame difference?

[pale prairie]

In havoc quell speed lets you tap quell button and quell faster than holding it down

[ripe obsidian]

The build Krierger shared is already my build, but I highly recommend doing Blaze Away + Warp Nexus on Inferno, as well as making sure your staff's stats are arranged properly. Blaze Away increases ranged strength, so it's stagger as well as damage. Warp Nexus increases crit chance, and a crit is double soulblaze application. Crits also boost Perfect Timing, Mettle, and EE.

[forest jolt]

you're absolutely right about that

[ripe obsidian]

Up to a point.

Tapping quell is diminishing returns.

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/fell-off-a-truck-stolen-gif-17757068803282515330

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know the exact math, but the higher your peril, the more you quell per tick. If you hold quell, I believe the number is consistent each tick, so like 10% > 10% > 10%. Whereas tapping is like 10% > 9% > 8%

So if you're just tapping 2x, you're fine

More than that, holding might be better

[forest jolt]

but is there a specific breakpoint for Critical Bonus and Charge Speed where it doesn't do anything after a certain percentage? Like with inferno staff, after 76% Burn it doesn't do anything

[ripe obsidian]

76% burn technically does less than 80%

It's just hidden

[forest jolt]

oh...

[ripe obsidian]

Still 16 stacks, but burn also impacts how quickly stacks are applied.

The code is opaque. I don't know exactly how it works

But that is in there

[forest jolt]

so this could use one more level of upgrades?

[ripe obsidian]

I doubt it's any meaningful amount

2% WR isn't a big deal. I would do it. Not everyone would

Tbh I don't like using my ~20% WR staff.

I use 45% on bubble+ER and 60% on Shriek+no ER

[forest jolt]

damn it... got a lot of playtesting to do now 😄

[ripe obsidian]

https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/72cde1c088677d22b3830d9681d015167782b10a/scripts/settings/equipment/weapon_templates/weapon_trait_templates/burninating_trait_templates.lua#L31

Max stacks and application rate

[gray juniper]

Does “moebian 21st” modifier spawn more basic shooters? I have seen that one in a while so I’m wondering

[forest jolt]

I believe they had stronger armour or something

[ripe obsidian]

And it's all lerpy rounding with hidden decimals

So for things like blaze stacks, you can't have half a stack

But other things are sneakier

[pale prairie]

Tons of the armored brutes

[ripe obsidian]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3375980903

[pale prairie]

I think they are slightly tankier too. Not crazy but feels oppressive in the big waves if you’re already busy

[ripe obsidian]

Higher base HP, higher hitmass, less staggerable

Also apparently faster

And flakky

[gray juniper]

Yea I know that but has anyone seen more stalker gunners in those matches? I doesn’t specify that info the the guide

[plucky flax]

Dang pretty sure I did more damage than purg psyker as shield arby purple orange.

But I dc'd so my scoreboard is ruined.

[strong gulch]

It's likely true.

[plucky flax]

Yeah I can just lied.

And said I did 2.5mil damage.

I believe you

[plucky flax]

[jovial juniper]

[plucky flax]

Thank you.

Karien wouldn't.

She only flames.

[forest jolt]

what was your loadout/build?

or were you teamed up with a babyker like me?

[dull scroll]

I believe it 😌

[plucky flax]

Shield bistol and EO.

EO is super OP now.

[forest jolt]

EO?

[marble crater]

Executive Officer or something

[pearl viper]

execution order

[forest jolt]

oh duh..

[dull scroll]

the dog purple fartshark just managed to fix

[forest jolt]

did they fix EO not triggering by either dog kills or your kills? can't recall whicever it was

[halcyon plover]

it works proper now yeah

[plucky flax]

14 mins in. In the lift after mid event I'm already gapping psyker bro.

[dull scroll]

think it only worked on direct dog damage, bleed/electrocute kills from dog don't count

[halcyon plover]

have you considered the psyker sucks

[plucky flax]

Tru he's not the best.

But I am kind of pro.

And psyker burga OP in purple.

So it kind of cancels out.

Nade vet was stealing my bleed a lot too.

[dull scroll]

what perk is that 🤔

[plucky flax]

Crit chance.

[proper osprey]

What is vet doing

Arby is fair and balanced

I think they should make more power creep

[pale prairie]

EO should just be called Karien Order with how much it lifts

[radiant frigate]

EO working is mildly horrifying

[plucky flax]

Knife bistol bleed vet he's op

Doesn’t eo buff dog?

[pale prairie]

And you

[radiant frigate]

yes

[pale prairie]

It buffs everything

[proper osprey]

Welcome back sister of thorns

[dull scroll]

it also buffs your eye 😏

[proper osprey]

You thought bleed explosion dog was bad they “fixed” Arby

[plucky flax]

They should bring OP bleed back too.

[proper osprey]

Yeah I’d rather hit my nuts with a hammer

[plucky flax]

Now that EO works properly.

[pale prairie]

And then there’s like 5 sub talents that let you boost a bunch of stuff of your choice. Monstrosity damage, crit chance/crit damage, movement speed/ flat damage, rending etc.

[proper osprey]

Undo the nerf on zealot

[plucky flax]

Doing 1mil damage with dog bleed is fine.

[loud girder]

bleed explosion and EO is not the same shit

[gray juniper]

Tru EO is gud.

Make DD as gud pls 🙏

[loud girder]

this

[proper osprey]

I love forceful but this seems ridiculous

[plucky flax]

DD needs to mark lesser enemies too.

[upper sun]

IRONHELM WILL BE BUFFED

[loud girder]

forcefull is still the best

u dont need all the extra dmg

[plucky flax]

Cos I have real problem with keeping up stacks in havoc when it's just poxwalkers.

[loud girder]

forceful lets u become a true lobotomite

[pale prairie]

So is this just the dog pouncing or is it have to be at a marked target

[proper osprey]

Speaking of dd why doesn’t vet have dd

[plucky flax]

Ogryns + poxwalkers only = no dd for me

[upper sun]

because vet needs a le sniper keystone

[proper osprey]

Well now both

[gray juniper]

Forceful still my main idc

[pale prairie]

10% movement, 15%toughness, 10% attack speed, 25% damage for just one kill and jump? That’s balanced

Forceful gives you twbs, toughness gen, dr

Guh

Goddamn

[proper osprey]

[marble crater]

I'm not joining

[hearty wolf]

wow

what

the fuck

[tulip kettle]

dont need to talk

[marble crater]

Smh

First turning down Sin volume

[upper sun]

mute everyone

just focus on the non existant sound engine

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

I saw sin say press W. Rest in peas folks.

[gray juniper]

Listening attentively to the silence

[gray juniper]

Imagine if they added all of these to the game. You’d have old school players going zealot to show out while the sister of battle, custodes and space marine still all died somehow

[white valley]

Custodes are lame anyway

Don't like 'em

[hearty wolf]

I have learned today to never trust a teammate, even on Havoc 2 😭

But my god

the EO buff

IT'S SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[tulip kettle]

not good enough obviously

also

win 4 no issues

sin joins

lose

COINCIDENCE?!?

[marble crater]

I think not

[hearty wolf]

Complains about bosses
does 1/6th of my boss damage

🤔

I even decided to red stimm when I came to you before you brought the PO to trap me in the corner...

Assassination attempt

[tulip kettle]

it backfired

killed myself first

[hearty wolf]

[gray juniper]

Ngl ‘mostly’ regular sized people riding space bikes capable of killing space marines sounds cool

[tulip kettle]

and then we did it really easily

weird

[gray juniper]

The algebra on this one is curious

[marble crater]

[jovial juniper]

You've been Hab Dreyko'd

[marble crater]

I blame Sin

[zinc phoenix]

sounds pretty bossy

[tulip kettle]

guess which one we played with sin

[strong gulch]

@tulip kettle

[gray juniper]

Oh wow

Attention. Attention. Karien is here. All scrubs tighten up immediately

[zinc phoenix]

i spawn in and kill two monstrosities with just a bot up

one dude dies and leaves as i am spawning

the other dude is under a dog the whole time

as soon as i kill the dog he tells me i suck and leaves

classic mael

[ripe obsidian]

Damnation?

[tulip kettle]

its Hex's havoc

[zinc phoenix]

ok i have a hilariously disgusting barbie build where even if i dont block and just run at things in a pox burster mael i am unkillable

its hilarious

like genuinely the dumbest thing i have ever seen

[upper sun]

i am 0-3 in 1-2 maelstroms

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve been winning every mael where I don’t get ledged or netted

If I get ledged, instant wipe

If I get netted it’s probably a wipe

[upper sun]

i got netted trying to clutch one

[zinc phoenix]

The quality of mael teams is rock bottom

[upper sun]

🚬 why do i keep dodging left 😭

i need to rebind shift somehow

or get more fingers

[zinc phoenix]

Also I did a h20 for giggles and the psyker was a martyrdom psyker. I was dying

[upper sun]

i refuse to interact with havoc until the toughness and ammo nerfs are removed

[ripe obsidian]

You didn't burninate enough

[zinc phoenix]

It’s not gonna happen and is pretty easy anyway

[upper sun]

ikno

also waiting for havoc quickplay

partyfinder feels like a humiliation ritual

[zinc phoenix]

Oh that would be great esp after all these changes

[upper sun]

uhhhh hi guies can i pls play

no i am not doing that

[inland ice]

how am i supposed to play an extra poxburster maelstrom

like it all goes well until the inevitable rube goldberg of poxbursters

[zinc phoenix]

Blocking is your friend

If you don’t want to block, shotguns

[inland ice]

wow really?

[zinc phoenix]

Yes

Amazingly it is possible to block burster chains

[inland ice]

😐

i suppose

but thats not my problem

[zinc phoenix]

If you hate both blocking and shotguns you can try assail or left click flame stick

[inland ice]

its more like when one slight thing goes wrong and a poxburster is suddenly there to jump on me

[zinc phoenix]

Left click flame stick will bounce them back

[zinc phoenix]

If it’s a maelstrom you can also go for voidstrike + sg and obliterate the entire chain

[inland ice]

playing gunker

[zinc phoenix]

Oh then shotgun will solve it

And assail

Mostly you just kinda learn to dance between the raindrops

[ripe obsidian]

Tbh, I used Smite on Burster or Doggo maelstroms a lot of the time

[zinc phoenix]

Works but boring

[ripe obsidian]

It is boring

[zinc phoenix]

EP assail is way funnier

And you can run with sg and shotty

[ripe obsidian]

But also less frustrating than dying 18 times in a row because some teammate shot the bursters you were pushing

[zinc phoenix]

You have to shoot THEIR burster first

They can’t shoot if they’re dead

[radiant frigate]

worried about friendly fire? simply friendly fire your teammates first

[zinc phoenix]

FGS sweep also shoves em away

And the extra good push helps

[ripe obsidian]

Sound logic.

[radiant frigate]

#fgssweep

[zinc phoenix]

The hardest thing about playing barbie is remembering nets exist

Idk why some random police officer is literally the most unkillable thing on the planet

I guess when the starting set are literal conscripts

[white valley]

Feels like the slab of 1 ton of muscle should be harder to kill though

[loud girder]

he is

[ripe obsidian]

"Bolter fire raked towards him, striking the hulking abhuman, who grimaced in pain. Chunks of flesh were torn from its arms and chest, but the three metre creature that dwarfed even the Terminators did not slow. It lowered a shoulder and smashed into one of the enemy, knocking it from its feet. Raising the butt of its heavy ripper gun, the ogryn began caving in the helmet of the fallen warrior, smashing it down onto the prone traitor again and again."

"With a roar, the ogryn picked up one of the traitors, one massive hand upon the enemy’s backpack and the other between his legs. It lifted the Chaos Marine high into the air and slammed it head first into the ground, cracking its neck."

Found that on Reddit a while ago. No idea what book it's from

[loud girder]

its from dark apostle

the ogryns here were pretty cracked and had cool gear

[zinc phoenix]

Space marines in their own book: god, but with a bigger weiner
Space marines in other people’s book: chaff you kill to flex

[loud girder]

they fked traitor marines up

[loud girder]

named vs unamed

its the biggest meme around them pretty much

[ripe obsidian]

I'd argue that our Ogryns have pretty absurd gear

[zinc phoenix]

“His armor is a gecko”

[loud girder]

not on the same level as pre heresy gear

[white valley]

Yup, Ogryns are insane

[zinc phoenix]

“He tied it on with rope”

[ripe obsidian]

Man walks around wearing that, you know you shouldn't bother him

[white valley]

That ogryn in particular, if I remember correctly, killed like 5 chaos space marines before it finally died, and it was nameless

[loud girder]

but i think the point of the chapter is that ogryns are CRACKED in terms of sheer brute strength

[zinc phoenix]

Most of the psyker armor is a bath robe with delusions of grandeur

[ripe obsidian]

I just need some fucking psyker pants that aren't skintight

[inland ice]

would you guys rather they fix bulwarks or bursters

[white valley]

The enforcer pants are dope for that

[inland ice]

or are both perfectly fine

[zinc phoenix]

If you can’t see that ass crack what are you even paying for?

[ripe obsidian]

What's wrong with Bulwarks?

[inland ice]

everything

[zinc phoenix]

Nothing, they’re a quick snack

Altho when they blob it’s kinda annoying

[inland ice]

1 bulwark not a problem

[ripe obsidian]

That is not an argument.

[inland ice]

I thought it was

we are arguing?

[ripe obsidian]

Bursters are genuinely broken right now. They are sometimes silent and often ignore pushes

[inland ice]

bursters are a skissue like everything else

i just so happen to be awful at the game

[white valley]

best psyker pants
