i did one run and it ended up being a true duo with an og which was awkward for my shotgun wizard
we eventually got eaten by a bon
well, technically i got yeeted by a tail flip and then he got purped enough to die to a poxburster after it finally died
It's an uprising event.
i hate bonbon
burn bonbon kill bonbon dropkick bonbon into a trash can
slam dunk bonbon while standing in bubble
Anything harder and you will enjoy getting karked dry better.
oddly specific
so, sounds like oddball and karien are down for the event to be done on Auric, no? 
so what exactly is it
more bombers, more pox bursters, shotgunners drop bombs on kill
I am doing speedrun uprising.
6 minutes
thats ominous
Eldritch Blast the bonbon 
6 minutes until oddball kills his team
thats far too generous
And how would you know? 
i'd say 45 seconds
i can predict the future
🚬 gonna make it big on polymarket
What will I say next?
some dude in a mission is shooting the bursters with a boltgun
Wrong
fine if you wanna play it that way
You are a fraud and a scammer
your next message is "One Blocked message"
Again? 
to be fair, if he'd said "wrong", you'd say correct, or right, and he'd be wrong
if he said "right" or "correct, you'd've said wrong
Clad is used to being wrong, it's fine
there was no win
Just like in his mission log
it's... not great, but, its not terrible either, if you play it as if its a maelstrom
ridiculous
it does feel a bit like havoc prep ngl
More bursters = more chances to kill your team, embrace the dark urge
even at uprising i was down to 1 hp fucking around
well thats because you were fucking around
pave my path with corpses
build my castle with bones
its uprising fucking around shouldnt hurt
do not the pox bursters
dark urge do be having some unhinged lines
I'm tempted to just select them whenever I have the dialog option in my evil playthrough 
my favorite though?
WORSHIP ME, THE PROPHET OF THE END

Same energy
WITNESS
side note that's probably the orkiest movie in existence (and it actually doesn't have any orks in it)
Don't forget the occasional Mr. Tentacle Head
yeah that entire thing just sounds unpleasant

Damn hexis is all growed up and flaming now
What a few aurics and havocs does to a person
extremely hexist (discriminating based on ability to cast spells)
POV you just failed to clutch
Maybe I’ll just start typing that into chat instead of silently witnessing and saying “NT”
Those charisma casters think they are some HOT SHIT! Superior assholes
Only if I play with some siblings from here
I'm mostly sure it's a flat reduction, not % based. But I could be wrong.
I don’t want to get a reputation in random havocs like Six
“He who lurks in the darkness” or something ask him about it
I checked, yeah it's flat. Health is % based 

Time to reputation farm
Already tired of aura farming?
What aura do I get 😭
Something something stand and watch Dom die trying to drag a Pogryn onto you?
damn a zealot joined the game, fought a little, saw me throw an assail, and left lmao
blocking time xD
“Man psyker is so cool I am gonna go reroll my class!”
Havoc Forged is a lie
was probably mad i was faster than him
It's mostly because not a lot of people are playing at 3am
So the 30 people who are, I have usually played with them before
Less a reputation and more, "Oh, I know that guy's name"
You can't judge anyone's gameplay except by their gameplay
Titles and levels ect don't mean shit generally
ye, anyone can be carried
If theyre very low level of course that can give you a better idea, but ive played with plenty of dogshit players with characters in the high hundreds
Even dom, potato and me can be carried in havoc 20 
unrelated, i was told to make my FGS have Unstable Power, though, my peril is seldom up that high with this build, definitely not enough to make the +5% strength function, presumably? i feel like something like momentum for toughness, shred for crit chance, etc might be better? @tulip kettle
It's 5% per 20% peril, I believe
and even so, my peril is only ever up when i assail, or special attack
"stat buff: power_level_modifier
Every 20% of current peril grants 1 stack (up to 4); stack calculation rounds down so the first stack is granted when above 20% peril, the second when above 40% peril, etc; max stacks when above 80% peril. Per stack, increases the power level (see values below) of melee attacks and DoTs while the weapon is wielded; stacks additively with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.
'Power level buffs' increase the base power of attacks which benefits damage, stagger, and cleave (where applicable)."
get peril high generally, it helps with your talents triggering too
Some would say you should spam special attack to get peril high and then maintain it with assail throws
Hence low warp resistance FGS. For instance I get 47% peril with a special attack
It comes with practice.
Unstable power is harder to keep up but gives more benefit than other blessings
i did it on auric
hence why it was a true duo
nobody else wanted to do the fucking thing LMAO
harder to keep up is an understatement
its shrimple, just always be at 100% peril
also gotta say shotgun ep assail, its the way to deal with burster dog mutie missions
double barrel is the most reliable method for pushing bursters in the game 😂
Get your peril up not your money up
ok gentlemen im gonna do the hardest thing any psyker main can do
im gonna learn to aim
no i mean really aim
like with a helbore
its gonna go super well and i will totally hit things
but just in case im gonna take a fuckin stacked melee build
Is hellbore good now? I love me a good marksman rifle I just figured that with high intensity difficulties there’s no time to stand and present arms
ive seen enough people running it effectively to say yes, if you can aim
Why are we catching strays
Cause I always punch down 
Rude 
I've heard it's genuinely S tier for Havoc, the slowest firing mark specifically
Deletes all elites at range, crushers included
forgive my ignorance but what badge is this?
Darktide 2 
played the game since beta
or launch idk
either way old person
oh so its just "you bought the game before x date, have a badge that looks like the master (class) badge". SMRT 
yo guys
how would you build an electro staff?
blessing, perk and dump stat
any help would be much appreciated

flak and elite or maniac or crit or unyielding nexus and flurry
dump stat ?
Doesn't really have a traditional dump.
seen some places say warp resist
others crit bonus
and even quell speed
Double barrel melee is pretty funny. I was holding a melee attack with it to meme on someone and then a dog jumped at me and I fucking bonked it into space with the stock
That's why they all say different things lmao
shoot
I think I ran 70 warp and 70 crit
or 60 crit
the math makes the most sense to run 60 crit, if nothing has changed.
hi
Zap stick dump is warp resist

bruh
The point of zap stick is to build peril fast so you can shriek

point of zap stick is to have your brain off

also there's no "building peril"
if you are warp edging
it'll always be ready
when shriek is ready
It’s literally just to feed shriek tho, you zap specialists and then blast off with the warp charges
Right, sure, but why aren't you edging already?
Why are you building peril for shriek?
im having a brain burst at this point
Oh fuck I remember you, you have the worst takes, I'm not getting sucked in.
you should already be peril edging
why are you needing to build it?
No I can't

I can't do this again
tbf im using a venting shriek build for the memes
Like literally the point is soulfire spam
soulfire spam is the point, but why are you ever at low peril to need to build your peril while shriek CD is up?
My man, I have been psykering for as long as there has been a psyker. I am well aware about keeping peril up for crits
Idk how you’ve not learned how to play shriek zap tho
You aren't aware of anything, it's always the worst takes from you.
you have a long history of being bad.
😮💨
guys its ok calm down
ill edge it for both of you
Bro
F for venting this shriek ass convo
You can either listen to atlas being a dumbass and sounding off or read that 🤷♀️
I’m out
excellent
also with havoc 40, you probably don't wanna dump crit anymore anyways, but that wasn't the point.
What do you edge for anyway
dmg
Dumping warp resist is the take of the people I trust in here and if you look at the Pinned builds it will say the same
i got both
so i can appease the psyker bros
what the hell did i walk in on
40wr is still high
yeah
But depends on weapon and pref
Warp nexus and warp flurry
I dunno some argument about having bad takes and not a single one referring the dude to the pinned builds
Depends what you’re running it with
im so confused
im doint smite venting
Oooof

So the boring build
With trauma??
Ok
with EK\
Ah, the full brain off build.
surge
i see someone bitching about someone not maxing out their peril all the time and, for the build i had, 95-100 ruins half the point of it, 70-80 would be better, then spike up to 90+ for a shriek, its not that hard nor a big deal
yes, that's the point.
so what do i build my EK with that in mind
give me a sec and i can link you the build dom had me use if youre interested
The whole point of your build is to be smiting all the time?
Low warp resist because again the goal is to stack peril for shriek. That’s also the point of smite in the build altho it’s totally fine to run bb with kinetic flayer instead
palpatine build type shit
ight 60 warp it is
You only want to hold smite for a beat for the knockdown
Go to pinned builds switch BB for Smite
oh a smite EK
I linked it already
Wait are you trying to run an actual EP smite build, or an EK staff build that uses smite?
It’s gonna be less effective but you do you
Not if you run shriek-smite-ep
Sounds like EK with shriek to vent
At that point you just perma smite
Alright Satan 😂
I mean you’re not wrong but like
No i dont run that build
so flak crit or flak elite ya
aight my brain isnt processing these words, imma go hope for another twins fight in QP o7
Go flak unyielding since smite is worthless into bosses
Only interactive element is standing in a horde and 360 smiting
The EK staff is just for ogs, EP stacks, and bosses, if you are are running EP smite.
Sounds about right
If you are running a normal EK build, that happens to have smite, then it's just the usual set up.
sounds good
im using venting smit and ep ya
Mfw im an og but dont like ek because void was better at the time 
It depends. I have flak carapace on it from back when but I think all the numbers have changed. I’d probably go crit carapace or something today

But I think all the armor is weird for surge
much appreciated
It uses chest stuff
But some chest stuff is flak for surge on stuff with carapace chest normally
carpace is literally just crushers on EK
Nah cara has less usefullness
Because remember ek hits core
I agree, I’m mostly thinking “I want to kill crushers”
the only time you should run carpace on EK, is if you are running EP smite, and want your EK to focus Ogs and Bosses, and you don't need it for regular elites.
Ye but you just one or twoshot with melee
Or smite and ignore them
The crusher spam in h40 and bizarrely mael can get pretty mental is all
But idk specialists are mostly what I aim for with surge
I mean I haven’t 🤷♀️ I’ve been doing bubble knight or flame stick
Little shriek trauma

I’m just thinking about if I was gonna
Ugh this using surge is getting me confused with the fucking blessing
Inferno+Shriek for the biggest damage numbers
Sorry the stick was named surge for years and years
Yeah I know
I still scroll to S
Ngl barely anyone refers to the blessing
Void nerf killed surge blessing 😭
Because it doesnt work on anything but void and lmb....
BUT it exists and we were talking about EK blessings which CAN HAVE SURGE especially if you’re going LmB spam build
No double lightning
Did they ever make surge work on other right clicks?
And lmb quell cancel macro was kill
Swap macro is back in
Idk why not, it literally wouldn’t even be opie
Yes it would
I mean if you did the math, surge on void wasn't ever that OP compared to nexus flurry.
Incorrect, barbies exist 🙏
I feel like it should just make the secondary shock victim take the same damage as the main shock victim
plus the overkill damage
True, but 4x explosion is cool
Void was also cracked back then
it was like 24% versus ~30%~ functional dps on nexus flurry versus surge nexus.
Yeah it was more about triggering true aim and the fact that you could get like 3 projectiles from one fired one
Afaik the og glass cannon setup had 87.5% crit chance
Void is only really bad now due to Havoc's hitmass increase. The other big limiter is its insanely slow charge time.
Ok so hot take overpowering souls on ep kinda suck ass
Why?
The only thing I’m using assail ep for is brrrrt down ragers, gunners, dogs, specials and hordes more generally and it only gives credit for the elite stuff
And elite is a much more limited pool which includes armored things or fat fucks that won’t die to assail mostly
I am pretty positive it doesn't remove the base 10% chance
So I can gain ep stacks from fucking up carapace with my Oscar 2 but otherwise it’s tricky
It doesn’t, but taking it up to 15% might be good for eternal assailing
Idk I’m just riffing
Ehhhh, I doubt it
I’ve also been kinda into psychic leeching which has to be the most fucking insane thing I’ve ever said in this channel
so, i bricked my pc at 3 am this morning
we are resurrected
windows 11 update prep ftw
Gunners, shotgunners, and ragers all count as elites
i see sin has been bullying me in my absence as always
I guess that’s true
Hmm
EK is flak and either unyielding or crit
IMO crit, it’ll help sometimes
and dump is quell speed, but i use a 70-70 quell/res
?
Fake news
pretty much this
Flakiac, you heathen
Dunno about you but it makes the stack of shotgunners or ragers or gunners just free damage cause you throw a few assail then you just get empowered ones with no peril cost until they are all dead
i like to bzzzzzt bulwarks and bosses
turns out, you shouldnt fuck with MBR
who'd have thunk it
Does assail count for true aim?
yes
No, fucking with the file system is generally a bad idea.
It’s cause he is obsessed with you
Literally queueing without him rn
damn
hurts
dw dom im here
❤️
I need to rep farm
i just need to get steam to see that yes, DT is installed
Ep assail is ridiculously awesome in random niche scenarios
you mean improve your social credit? cant disagree
Like most of the time it’s mid but then you’ll pop off and delete an entire massive encounter
You guys the explosion event is here and I need some good Sin and Dom stories about barreling and bursting each other
same for me
Yep that’s why Ainz has a havoc 40 build centered around it. I mean HE makes it work but it’s still kind of funny
tbf i saw it went live earlier and was like damn im missing out
but, its only been a couple tiny rubberbands once or twice every 5 missions, and they are very small rubberbandings
cant wait fr
Work in the vaguest sense
I need more data for my spreadsheet
What data? 
Lots of data. Mostly about Wildfire versus Warp Battery, but also about things like Encroaching Garden
I am learning that Encroaching is like a 50%+ DPM increase for me
So far, it seems like Wildfire is better.
But it's like 1% gains in either direction
And Encroaching maps really throw everything off
what even is the reward for 10 missions of the event?
Yes. Also working 
An insignia
Insignia
Damage per minute
Ah
Well that's enough Darktide for me reee
I am making a spreadsheet for the sake of data more than anything else
I assume that means you flawlessly completed an H40 with 0 downs

First run I had a team run to a ritual and then press S back to some random corner which we fought in for about 3 minutes (the ritual had 1 ritualist left so it was ticking super slo
And they wouldn't leave the corner and I realised it would mean we would have to fight the DH with 3 people, in a corner
So I decided to push for it but alas, perish
I had a team yesterday where myself and other one person did the ritual while a third was dead and the fourth went full Doom(ed)guy trying to get to the respawn point to revive them.
btw, any advice on what blessings to run on Rashad Caxe, if I use it specifically with a voidSTRIKE build? (I have Warp Splitting and SG)
is it still Headtaker & Bromentum with Carapace + Unarmoured Damage perks?
And that second one, they decided to hold up somewhere very cool and all died to armour so I had to fight a chaos spawn and 400 armour units
killed most of the armour
pick them up
Bromentum is necessary for Caxe to work
they go and die again anyway
I believe unarmored is specifically for Auric breakpoints on Veteran with Caxe. Not sure if it translates to Psyker
I think caxe almost always needs unarmoured and flak for bruiser one-shot headshots
hmmm... ok, so should I go maniacs or flak instead? (or possibly unyielding?)
ive been playing it, i think the only pick i disagree with is one with the warp because i dont think it does anything worth doing. so i took anticipation
Damage Per Microsecond cause @ripe obsidian is just that good
honestly if youre comfortable with psyker melee i can see it being fine in h40
H40 makes caxe and taxe a lot worse though unfortunately
Increased enemy hp means bromentum is worse
only issues are:
- boss damage is meh in the extreme
- you can deal with a small number of carapace things but a blob is just completely unworkable
- you can peg out of assail shards easily if you go too hard with throwing them so have to be careful
taxe is fine with it
can still reach 1 taps
and has an alt build
replaces BM with shred/deci
ainz why did you go one with the warp with your shotgun assail build?
over anticipation?
I think it’s a preference thing as long as you are getting toughness nodes to compensate for its loss
fair enough
Doesn't on Zealot, I think. But I know not.
i always love having more dodge and am indifferent to TDR because im either alive or dead with really no in between 😂
I math'd it. It's better than you'd think. But still not amazing in H40 b/c toughness melts so quickly
Doesn't on zealot with martyrdom afaik, but I don't believe in martyrdom
Fake keystone
ok, how much better than id think?
Hold on.
b/c i thought it was 10% to 33% more of your existing tdr, not a flat 10% tdr gain
so like if you have 30% tdr it gives you an extra 3% tdr
I think it was if you have all the TDR 5% nodes then stay above 40% peril and OWtW was better than a 15 toughness node
eh
peril oscillates wildly with this build, sometimes you have loads sometimes youre begging for any
It's still a free 10%TDR at all times
Yeah if assail and SG are your only peril sources that’s gonna be tough
Then you should be fine
im pretty sure it doesnt work that way
On psyker yes
It is a sliding scale my understanding is at 0 peril it acts like a 10% toughness node but as peril increases it marginally slides up till it hits 33
mr guide man do you remember how one with the warp works?
is it a percentage of your total TDR or is it just TDR
Minimum x90% TDR regardless of peril
Up to x67% TDR as peril scales up
ok
so if i have 30% tdr i will get an extra 3% tdr from the node?
and up to 9% extra if i have max peril
right so now im certain it doesnt work that way
itdoes work that way
esplain this then #psyker-class message
its literally just a lerped TDR value between 10 and 33%
It does, 10% at all times and up to 23% more based on peril
im doubtful because ive been corrected when i assumed that in the past
Lerp lerp lerp
fuck it, whatever the actual value is it doesnt seem to keep me alive from things that would kill me
What
It is lerp. I looked at the code.
Also it stacks multiplicatively
because i assumed it worked like it says on the description and i think void corrected me on it
It’s just lerp between x90% and x67% based on peril
I dunno fam I think one can never have too much TDR
bath is confusing you
ok
Wat
because he is saying the multiploer fpor the toughness dmg received
well in the end the only thing that would help with is chip damage from shooters and pox walkers and whatnot
its not wrong its just confusing to people
I mean yea that’s how it’s mathed for the damage u will take
Saying the same thing with different approaches
which isnt really an issue 99% of the time b/c gold toughness or bubble or what have you
10% TDR is the same as 90% toughness damage received
so id rather have the dodge
Yeah, that. Sorry, got a work thing and got distracted
With no other factors, yes.
the stuff that does matter is getting spanked by a gunner when im out of dodges or bitchslapped into a fire mosh pit or eating an overhead
But you have other TDR nodes
and it doesnt really help me not die from those things
TDR grey nodes are additive with each other, multiplicative with other DR sources
oh indeed i was just saying that bath was saying the same thing just "the other way around"
And % damage received is not 1:1 with effective toughness
ainz probably has to think more about surviving attrition because hes more likely to live thru stuff that would kill me
20% reduction is like 25% more effective toughness. And it goes up from there.
so TDR is better for him
It’s not complicated you just multiply by the inverse of the value I’m saying to get ur effective toughness
for sure but clearly not everyone here was following that so i was clarifying
no shade at anyone
ugh math please why cant you all just run on vibes like psykers should 
it doesnt really matter the key is not getting hit and that is at least straightforward
you either got hit or you didnt simple as
exactly
thats fine 🙂
its always surprising how many more skill floors there are in this game
Base toughness / (TDR source * TDR source * TDR source) = effective toughness
10 games,0 completed

like objectively i am near the top of the skill pyramid what with the true survivor and the h40 and all that. but near the top still leaves a lot of steps with people who have done solo or duo stuff that i just cant
what diff?
like watch cole or ainz play and they can mulch thru bosses like they arent there lol
everyone makes mistakes, everyone dies, and i feel theres a certain level of toxicity at the highest levels with expectations of always clutching or surviving
eh maybe, i fuck up all the time
At some point u just start practicing boss duels
ok but theres a difference between boss dueling and soloing a boss mael for fun
i can duel out bosses, i cant do the other one 😂
one boss, fine, 2 boss, maybe. twins and 2 bosses? im die.
Nah after boss duel u do 1v2s and 1v3s
meanwhile ive seen ainz deal with a horde and three bosses simultaneous
Learn boss moveset and all that
and it didnt even look hard 😂
Bosses are also easier in live sessions than meat grinder
zel with a crusher
U need a mod to mimic ping latency to make it easier in meat grinder
Otherwise no latency compensation and a bunch of attacks are super difficult to dodge
idk man like meat grinder doesnt have random trappers running up and blasting your ass
Boss overhead/mutant/sniper are very hard/impossible to dodge on 0 ms
not to say who is better or worse just that i am not at that level 😂
im sure others are and thats cool. i just think its fun how much room there is for skill expression in this weird ass game
Creature spawner trials do
I prefer to panic under pressure and die to bosses that I can beat in a vacuum, thank you.
l m a o true truths
reminder, being awake for 20 hours is the same level of intoxication as being over the limit to drive.
Yo
Is that the name of the mod for practicing in meat grinder?
Is voidstrike staff still good?
Yea
K
hit mass increases make it unuseable
Poor Voidstrike
In anything below havoc it’s decent
Is there a better staff
All of them
All of them
Accurate
Me omw to pester FS to buff VoidSTRIKE because it's the only staff that requires aiming
How long do you think I would need to sleep? 

voidblast > EK > voidstrike > inferno in lower difficulty, though this one is more subjective
Quick before winter vacations
Reduce charge time by like half a second and make the explosion at the end actually do something. Now it's viable without increasing the cleave.
Bring your stern Ogryn sticker
I kinda like how the cleave encouraged a lot of position planning to maximize carnage
anyone wanna drag me to auric or are you all busy? i can do damnation in meantime
i can play in half hour or so once ive finished getting steam etc sorted
Would love to but I got these wageslave cuffs on right now
you have been training in the grav chamber
no modifiers damnation is gonna feel like a snooze to you now
can play in like 30 mins
kk, ill run one damn then
Someday we will get higui to Ogryn smile
I promise to play brutal momentumless Achlys Chain Axe
Maybe when they fix voidstrike
cough wrong axe cough
a classic
SOBBING
Welcome to end game
It’s just a -5 progress to auric bruh
What else did you want?
Hehehe
why would they slot me in when everyone else is already DEAD
Should have dodged the loss screen, skill issue
like, it was the very very end oif the death cutscene
lets see how bad it really is
Bring back war stories
You died so fast that your character blacked out
Sounds like your fault yo
I have never seen Path unleash his fury upon the heretics.
Gonna call you one punch man
Just ask path to help with Overwatch and spectate
Path?

the weird part is, it wasnt a quickplay. if it was QP i could understand this kinda fuckup but, WHO tf dies that quickly for normal queue
😭 
@/path.exe
never heard of him
Ohhhhhhh
Aka vet guide writer
sounds like a gambling addict tho
Aka zealot guide writer adjacent
If you ever play with him, be sure to put yourself in such a precarious situation that he can't save you despite trying multiple times.
totally not based on a real example
Aka not psyker enjoyer
You need to stop running up to ledges and barrels
You mean @deft stump ?
It was normal this time. Just refusing to shoot snipers so I run up and melee them instead but suddenly trapper, fire, and more snipers caused problems on purpose. 😭
Don’t they know you’re just a little bean?
Bullying
apparently not
was rude tbh
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DUDE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MY GOD
i ressed 3 people from the same spawn and we couldnt pass it
Clad losing his mind
Damnation 
This man is banished to server of only people who play without a screen
checkout my other videos
u got mission rewards
it's free
Hexis needs wins to unlock Auric
DUDE
loading into insta loss is like 30s for free rewards
@strong gulch spotted
Hi yes
skill checked surely
🚬
Got dam
there was nothing i could do
nah u could have won that tbh
But it is losing progress on unlocking Auric.
seriously?
oh they do that? didn't know
that's cringe ngl
Yes.
It's like 20 wins or something stupid to get Auric after Damnation
And each loss loses 0.5 to 1 game worth of progress. I do not know the exact numbers
i doubt it tbh
kill things before u rez smh
kills u
Tbh this is why I like a mixed of offense & defense tools. Call it lack of skill, but that’s why I bring shock mine for clutches
we wiped 😭
who is we
damnation random team
😭
I can play now
i got got by a trapper, other psyker got got by the crusher around the corner from me, idk what got the vet, and the arby got burgled
max
kk, send request when ready
On like, literally everything?
re downloaded and applied mod loader and DMF
ya
and now im getting a bunch of errors
why?
thots?
easier weakspot hits in melee vs majority of enemies
But he’s working through the damnation progress bar so the loss is negative progression
Max height no competition
Also see over enemy models easier
yay im being kidnapped to explosion land
What if I wanna be a gremlin
Then go gremlin
Doesn't being shorter impact your ability to take cover?
inconsistent at best
@zealous wing my game blackscreened
restarting
Hahahahahahhahahahahaha
Oh no
You rocked the delicate crystal toothpick tower that was the Darktide software
I call it “have no idea what my teammates will bring so I best have an answer for everything”
True. When I res, I need the highest thread count sheets
It’s 10 wins (bar is 100 a win is 10 points a loss is -5 points)
@plucky flax you right, purple farming is king 😏
what wrong clad
@zealous wing I booted to see if I could get in there to help but it wouldn’t let me. Hopefully you have bath with you then it’s all good
Yea sounds typical
I loaded into a quick play and I guess the guy who left that I replaced pissed off the DH so I just had that in my face until the horde killed the spread out remaining arbies and then finished me
that was a rough start im sorry
I think it was perspectives and/or lookaround that caused it
Hey guys - just started playing the game, my first build being a melee greatsword psyker
Uhhh how can I say this: I feel completely useless
what lvl
it's all good we won
27
😭 i hate vent purge
Every mission, I feel like deadweight - I just keep dying over and over while everyone just mows down foes
What level?
And I struggle with a single wave
alright, what are you dying to
27
attacks, peril, etc
attacks really
just shoot straight it's not complicated
You probably don’t need to start on that build is likely
Start out as an assail psyker until you get those last few talent points. Maybe pick up a gun or staff that is fun. But most of your damage should be assail. Once your max level you can start a build that is more melee psyker. The class really wants you to have all your talent points and a basic understanding of surviving in melee combat cause you are the squishiest glass cannon of all the classes
How does that work?
Easy tip. Ping the sniper to get a silhouette of you have trouble doing it manually
Have you played other classes? Cause zealot or Ogryn are more forgiving than psyker for melee combat and can maybe give you a good foundation to then switch over to melee psyker
I already use assail, but is there a specific build?
Otherwise it’s gonna just be learn by dying
No not really - it's my first operative
So you’re just learning the game. You’re trying to use a more complicated build on top of that
Hmm, so are there guidelines in playing a melee-focused psyker?
Getting 30 talent points and using easier equipment to have more versatility on what you’re able to rely on is an easier route
Also I'm really struggling on finding my preferred ranged weapon
Like all of them that I tried don't feel good
Dm a picture of your talents
Perhaps gun psyker would be easier to learn with?
Both are more or less the same tbh
That’s a good training build until you get your feet under you. Ideally you’ll change this a bit eventually
If you’re “melee” you’ll likely have a gun and use scriers or bubble
And of course you’ll have assail
And what's the best way to post skill builds? Like the picture above?
I play on ps5 and my skill tree is very zoomed in
Gameslantern website allows you to make builds and save them
Dm what you have we can repost and analyze it
At this point this is a learning build once you hit level 30 you’ll move things around a bit. The big thing is finding melee weapons and guns you actually like and learning how to survive melee combat. Throw up bubble whenever your gonna be melee fighting or are in danger from ranged. The toughness per second it provides should give you a safe place to practice melee without worrying about dying to quick or getting flamed or trapped netted or shotgunned
Thanks! I dmed a pic
@pale prairie
So shield is better than scrier's gaze?
Depends on play style. The big problem is SG is another thing to balance and think about while you are still learning the basic mechanics
You don’t have warp unbound so you’re probably giving yourself a headache trying not to blow yourself while dodging enemies
It also doesn’t keep you alive in the same way bubble will
It’s ok for a gun psyker build but it’s too top focused most likely
Ok so for now, drop the melee focus, get bubble and focus on assail?
This will always happen just eventually much less frequently
I kinda really like the greatsword though lol
Although I wonder if I shouldn't switch to the lighter power sword
Again you can keep meleeing the point of what I shared is that bubble will give you safe place to practice and assail lets you thin out hordes if it gets too dangerous for you to practice melee
I like the idea of swithing to bubble too - I think most of my deaths are because of ranged
You want better survivability then you should take empathic evasion to dodge bullets more often. Warp expenditure is not a good talent and battle meditation really isn’t either
FGS is a really great weapon so feel free to stick with it
That’s in the build I sent him
That’s a good choice to use. The issue is if you’re using the wrong mark for the wrong purposes or not
Mark 8 is easier on crowds and mark 6 helps you defeat elites easier
Both have a lot of reach but neither are as fast as small force swords obviously. Still the great swords are likely superior
I love the mark 6 - it does really help against elites and bosses
Stats really matter on some weapons, especially the staves. You don't get access to those until later. And even with perfect weapons, psyker is pretty dependent on having dang near all of their talent points.
You can trade those two points away for warp expenditure and battle meditation for empathic evasion and warp unbound or you can follow Kreigers build to the T
You can try both
Bubble would probably be a wise choice to allow you to reset after you’ve made a mistake
@buoyant maple my guy this is absolute hell 😭
Good greatsword blessings for mark 6 are unstable power, riposte, shred and precognition
what’s wrong
event on auric 
Oh yall still playing?
Nice
why
Yeah it gets silly
on NA ... im EU
Sadists in chief
if ping too much u can go
i think i will, this is just agony
are u getting damnation unlock progress at least
2 wins should be +20?
lemme check
Surely you unlocked auric at this point
95/100
Damn
u will get it
I can do one on eu with you if you want
Ok so I replaced scrier's with bubble
ye will probably get more auric done later tonight, worst case, damnation for the last one
If you are keeping DD then go for the right side of the diamond. At lower difficulties there’s a lot of gaps between waves so you want those stacks to last longer
For melee, is there something better than DD?
Going down that side felt a bit bad since there's some ranged-only talents
There isn’t but again you are missing a few talent points
unless specified as non-warp ranged, assail is ranged
usually no
i had one dude play arby and larp with accurate tactical assessments all game
DD is just bonkers dmg bonus
it was kino
reload ofc wont help you if you arent using a gun, but ranged crit will help
run the 25 stack version of DD as well
Bananas, even.
@fierce patrol this is pretty solid. Depending on taste you can go riposte for more crit chance, unstable for more power, deflector when you’re not using bubble, or precognition. Precognition is good but imo it’s more advanced because a 2 second window is small
25 stacks + weakspot kill for 3 stacks
I just debate the usefulness in stuff below damnation. The guy is only level 27
oh if he's like super new
First character
I wouldn't recommend right side psyker in the first place
And he went psyker like a true chad
u actually need good melee fundamentals
Yeah I already recommended Ogryn and zealot
Wdym?
Like on mic?
like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43j87Wkp0DE&pp=ygUUZ2l2ZSB0aGVtIHN0ZWVsIGxhZHPSBwkJrQkBhyohjO8%3D

why is this special event so aids
ALL GAME dude was on point
LMAO he got ahead of himself
Yeah maybe im just bad at psyker
are the other operatives more specialized in melee?
rotten armour was at least either fun or, same crushers ragers maulers just with stank... this is just p a i n
I fuck with it
Don’t ever say that✋ 
everyone is dw
Just keep working on it
Thanks guys appreciate the encouragements 🥲
i cant even understand what he said but i'd follow his advision regardless
SNIPER JOCKEY
be advised multiple shooters elevated positions
Psyker melee is strong. Just unforgiving.
Psyker is the most challenging class in general. High highs, but harder to execute. Extra resource to manage with peril
Die when bonked
if you REALLY want to main melee, zealot might be the way to go to learn the ins and out, yes?
Kinda swingy peril gen
It’s really about getting to know the best time to use gaze. It has a short cooldown but there’s optimal times to activate it and you’ll learn it
Oh event mission on Gloriana, let's go with voidblast 
Now we are talking
Hopefully I can get a triple kill
Oh yea, I got one hit by a mauler sweeping swing in hexis’s havoc the other day. It was heresy difficultly. Am I misremembering or can they really one hit kill you?
oh they hit HARD
you may have also had your toughness broken already by that point tho
or a sniper got you same time, couldve been anything in there
I was full health and playing risky decided to tank it then it downed me to my surprise
was it the rage one?
No
we could always test it again
more bombers, many bursters, shotgunners drop grenades on death, more barrels
Lmao shotgunner kamikaze
yup
Sounds like inferno remix
made playing with two arby's VERY annoying
tho the high ping may have also hurt
all i know is, i agree with karien on this one
uprising for the rewards, then never again
First crash 
Also stronger knock back on those enemy explosions
im not playing with you tonight now
Second, third and fourth crash 
f
Tsk tsk easy way out
they shoot them regardless of where they are 
if its far away, fine, shoot it, but if its in a door we're standing next to, pls dont
So the shotgunners are dropping fire grenades or normal grenades?
Normal
its not flame casting, so i presume normal
Hmm interesting
Exploding knock back
me watching @zealous wing put 200 recon shots into a burster train
This is a bad time to be melee @fierce patrol
I was popping yellow barrels ahead so we don't get barrelled off later
Oh yea. It’s gonna be good eatin for memes
well, i got barreled then
Doesn't trauma just make the the event easy 🤔

It’s sensible yes?
:(
The team keeps killing themselves
It's fucking hilarious
This one guy got 500 bursters exploding on him
The new player base is going to be forced to follow game mechanics kicking and screaming
The end of arby lone wolf
this event is a godsend
or just, not do the event
That's how you survive Gloriana
people that don't know how to push bursters learn or gets filtered hard
by being blown into a wall?
very based 😌
we didn't play gloriana we played silo and commsplex
shooting them i understand, but i was not in a good spot
