psyker-class

[deft stump]

Maybe that antique engine just doesn't like servers.)

[pale prairie]

They are adding new enemy types that can leap up from underground and I am anticipating a lot of ragdoll problems

[deft stump]

Tell me if jumping launches someone.

[pale prairie]

It’s an abandoned engine so nobody is updating or fixing it but their own teams

[deft stump]

Would be hilarious.

[pale prairie]

I need to find a clip. Some people figured out how to launch themselves skyward with a portable suicide bomb it’s pretty funny

[deft stump]

The joke is basically, update released but somehow when the enemy pops up, everyone is launched. Tell me if it's like that.

[marble crater]

Next week we will know

[upper sun]

just 2 more weeks

[marble crater]

I thought next, or is that just the warbond

[pale prairie]

@deft stump now picture someone wearing the backpack

[marble crater]

Nobody tried to troll me with that yet

[pale prairie]

Hey…sut you want to play dodge the mine field?

There’s enough now I can bring an all minefield loadout

[marble crater]

No

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/run-away-gif-15571352932274532423

[radiant frigate]

i only like minefields on defense missions tbh

[pale prairie]

We were talking about trolling KAT, so I defer to the master

🙇‍♂️

[radiant frigate]

[radiant frigate]

what about an all lightning loadout

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/vampire-adventure-time-evil-evil-thing-gif-9637053

[radiant frigate]

arc dog arc thrower arc blitzer tesla tower

[pale prairie]

Arc armor so it can bounce off you to kill friends

[radiant frigate]

[pale prairie]

There’s an arc grenade now too

[radiant frigate]

plus stun lance

[pale prairie]

Stun baton/lance

[radiant frigate]

any more arc stratagems?

[pale prairie]

I don’t think so. They should add arc mines

[marble crater]

I died to a tesla tower twice, first time because I didn't know they can kill you (I thought it was just map decoration), second time I wanted to figure out the range

[pale prairie]

You still playing on illuminate?

Yeah you learn by dying in this game. Just like Darktide

[marble crater]

Depends, first I will play whatever I need for my personal order and then I will do bugs or bots to help with major orders.

Saving New Alexandria didn't work unfortunately

[strong gulch]

The range varies because the lightning can chain.

[marble crater]

Oh great

I will just destroy them then or something

[strong gulch]

@plucky flax @deft stump Sorry I wasn't here. 😭

[pale prairie]

That’s why they failed

[pale prairie]

Yeah sometimes the devs just want us to lose to move a particular story forward. Occasionally though if we are winning despite everything they throw us a bone and let us win a planet

[marble crater]

We lost New Alexandria twice now, first on Reach and now this I imagine this was their plan to get all the Xbox players to fight the Illuminate

[pale prairie]

It fucking worked hahaha

[marble crater]

Sure did, the medals were a nice boost

[pale prairie]

The nice thing is that you can take a break and come back to a bunch of medals from major orders

[marble crater]

Until you reach the cap at least

[strong gulch]

Ye

[wraith sphinx]

You can just check back in at regular intervals and spend them

[marble crater]

That makes too much sense

[pale prairie]

Yeah and you ready to have your mind blown??? There’s permanent pages to the cosmetic store

[strong gulch]

If you want to try big boom backpack, let me know.

[pale prairie]

Only one rotating page

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/that-escalated-quickly-gif-15519845

[marble crater]

That can't be true, it's the same engine as Darktide

[pale prairie]

[wraith sphinx]

The permanent listings are all the boring old stuff tho

[marble crater]

This is just a ploy to get me to blow up I don't know which buttons are for dropping things yet

[strong gulch]

There's sometimes slightly different versions to things from the paid war bonds. So if you just wanted 1 thing, it can be cool.

[pale prairie]

POTATO GIVE HIM THE SHIELD BACKPACK AND DO THE OLD OOPSIE RED STRATAGEM

[strong gulch]

Is there a button for quickly dropping one type of thing? The radial is annoying.

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

[pale prairie]

It’s more about having more options for a passive you like on heavy, medium, or light variants

[pale prairie]

There is on pc

[wraith sphinx]

darktide outclasses helldivers in the drip department though, and the fact armor passives are tied to specific armors is terrible

[pale prairie]

Key mapping

[strong gulch]

Medium peak physique.

[pale prairie]

Oh absolutely

[wraith sphinx]

remember when the community asked for at least a transmog feature or something like that and pilestedt responded "I don't like my apples tasting like bacon"

[strong gulch]

I'll try to remember to look.

[upper sun]

[upper sun]

i am leaving this mortal realm.......... only thing that can save me.........

curio rework...........

[pale prairie]

Yeah but he is no longer CEO though and the new guy seems pretty open to feedback. I mean from a business standpoint it makes sense

[wraith sphinx]

sure bro here's your curio rework

we now have +2 wounds and +3 wounds curios

[upper sun]

thank u

[pale prairie]

Honestly

[upper sun]

i can finally play marty with stamina.......

[pale prairie]

That would be useful with some of these zealots

[pale prairie]

Finally a zealot buff am I right?

[wraith sphinx]

no it would just make them even more of a liability

[upper sun]

but seriously what if we had useful stuff like revive speed working on rescue/net/ledge

[pale prairie]

Yeah but a small percentage of martyr guys would go off

[upper sun]

or OR better yet unique buffs

[wraith sphinx]

one of the worst noob traps of darktide is assuming you will be saved once you go down

[marble crater]

Also, am I blind or are there really no loadouts I can save for different builds? I have to scroll through everything for every mission?

[upper sun]

like 100% block efficiency WHILE reviving

[wraith sphinx]

nope, no presets

[pale prairie]

See this logic is why people just fucking leave after dying to their own hubris

[upper sun]

no reason when every class has 3x builds with 3x weapons

[marble crater]

That seems like a bad idea with how many things you need to select each mission

[pale prairie]

Played with a true survivor Naked psyker yesterday…..they aggroed the demonhost and then died

[wraith sphinx]

tbf there used to be a lot less stuff too

[upper sun]

name and SHAME

[pale prairie]

You can only save presets for gun customization

[marble crater]

I don't even have gun customization unlocked yet I have no money for that either

I also have barely any guns to customize

[pale prairie]

Priority 1 is liberator penetrator. It’s a really good all around weapon

[marble crater]

I'm like one page away from that

[wraith sphinx]

yeah you'll be using lib penetrator a lot when you're still low level

but don't sweat it, all in due time

[strong gulch]

The closest thing is customizing a gun. There 3 different slots. The more you play that gun, the more that you unlock (need to buy them still).

[wraith sphinx]

you can always just play lower difficulty missions in the meantime :^)

[pale prairie]

I can’t remember it 😭 like emilysomething

[strong gulch]

Some guns aren't that customizable tho

[upper sun]

okie no one we know then

[marble crater]

I have the Abjudicator, or whatever, it's okay I guess

[wraith sphinx]

there's honestly too many uncustomizable guns

I hate it

[umbral oyster]

It's assuming randoms will do anything, actually

[pale prairie]

It makes me respect the halo warbond more cause the basic AR in there is like a solid medium pen automatic that doesn’t require customization

[strong gulch]

I think that's one the community likes.

[pale prairie]

I think all in due time

[marble crater]

I have a space ship that can waste millions of tax payer dollars on ordnance, but I have to pay for a gun... Maybe Super Earth is not so super

[wraith sphinx]

lib penetrator is very good uncustomized though

and halo warbond is overpriced for what it has to offer

[pale prairie]

Adjudicator is good but the liberator penetrator you can give a huge clip and make it have no recoil so I think it’s better

[umbral oyster]

Tip for multiplayer games: assume everyone else is stupid and/or bad so you aren't surprised when they are, indeed, stupid
unless you're in a pre made team, of course, then you're all geniuses

[wraith sphinx]

you don't get it, it's just microtransactions

gotta support super earth somehow

[wraith sphinx]

yeah it's very democratic

[pale prairie]

And the fact that a lot of our problems are self created because of corporate greed heheheh

[strong gulch]

Helldivers can't read.

[wraith sphinx]

not like it really matters though, the lore that's there is more than enough to make for a fun forever war setting

[umbral oyster]

[pale prairie]

Nonono then I KNOW my teammates are stupid cause I know them. But it’s still fun

[strong gulch]

Not really. So no.

[umbral oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/book-wind-mono-gif-13734375312589082496

[pale prairie]

Yeah my hot take is that because it’s a collab Microsoft wanted a big old cut of profits which drove up the price

[umbral oyster]

Evil Microsoft at it again

[pale prairie]

It’s why when you type into chat “CAREFUL BEANS THATS A BARREL” they still climb onto it and blow it up

[wraith sphinx]

I mean, they did the exact same thing with killzone

it's just nostalgia bait basically

[pale prairie]

Was it the same price? I though it wasn’t as high

[wraith sphinx]

it wasn't a warbond, but it was horrendously overpriced - the gun appears sometimes in the superstore and is like, 450 supercredits for an ugly liberator reskin you can't even customize

[umbral oyster]

Sounds hilarious, how do I get this in my game

[pale prairie]

Yeah see I remember that. Didn’t they give some of it for free though

[pale prairie]

You already said it. Do a chill difficulty with pre made

Then people do absolutely silly stuff

[umbral oyster]

That requires me to find a pre made

And sadly

I have no friends who play dtide

[pale prairie]

Just post in a class chat

[wraith sphinx]

yes, the second part of the collab was made to be given out for free because of the poor reception for the first part
the second part also sucked though

[umbral oyster]

Like this one?

[wraith sphinx]

you can also use lfg channels

[pale prairie]

Post in LFG too and just say “chilling on “DIFFICULTY”

[pale prairie]

Yeah I never use them

[umbral oyster]

Every lfg I see is "auric" this or "havoc 40" that and I'm trying to bust my way through story missions

Once I'm done with VG though I'll try

I want to at least get through the tutorial

[pale prairie]

Because a lot of people come to the server for SERIOUS HARDCORE GAMING but I see posts about just chilling too

[wraith sphinx]

Either of you willing to take on the world?

I dunno I hear bad things about servers there….

[pale prairie]

I am also fine with trying EU

[umbral oyster]

Alright

[pale prairie]

Oh for sure it completely changes the dialogue options and how the story plays out

[deft stump]

More or less. Easier on like oggy or arby. Twins will be hell with pubs.

[pale prairie]

Yes twins are ass with pubs

[pale prairie]

I wonder about the shield explosion from captains

hmm i wouldnt call it a melee attack but i could see that not being parriable

[upper sun]

Friendly fire is in both and it is ridiculously easy in HD2. One wrong step and someone can walk their head into your gunfire. Or run closer to the bomb or artillery you called in

Spoilers for act 1 of rogue trader.

||I do wish that the good ending for Rykad Minoris were not exterminatus. Since I apparently only have time to exterminatus or rescue the people/reactor, and not doing the former means millions of people get taken by the Warp + the creation of a daemon world, it seems like the obvious choice. I do not like killing innocents, especially not an entire world, and I do not like losing such valuable archaeotech, but the tradeoff is too great.||

[pale prairie]

New weapon drop force knuckles

[pale prairie]

My sentiments exactly but welcome to grim dark I guess. I am trying to recall if the books had similar kinds of things

[ripe obsidian]

I'm sure they did

It is the nature of the game and the setting

Relevant cutscenes from other game:

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubNqUyf0op0 ||

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h67JpMyrOVE ||

Also, I understand the Motive Force is just... electricity? And are Machine Spirits actually sprits, or just code? It's often unclear in 40k, especially since believing in a Thing can manifest it.

[pale prairie]

My understanding is it’s both? Kind of. They describe machines acting funky (like bad code) but then all the servitors I think give machines spiritual energy. That one character can “speak” to actual spirits in machines soooooo…..

[upper sun]

its still not fully explained

only imperium machines have spirits

For all its flaws, 40k is one of very few fantasy/scifi settings that does religion well. Most settings in the genres tend to have religion as auxiliary rather than primary in people's lives.

I decided to play a round of darktide since all my friends were playing helldivers in full squads and I get qp'ed with 3 meta loadout vets that got wiped twice

[ripe obsidian]

Canonical Imperial Guard regiment

[wraith sphinx]

three voc dsword bistol vets

absolute cinema

[marble crater]

What was the excuse?

[wraith sphinx]

none was given he just left

[pale prairie]

Debatable. Mostly because in my opinion it’s not very nuanced. Yes it’s primary but like saying “protoman believed in fire” it’s a shield against chaos and you can SEE it working or not. There’s no faith there’s no questioning it’s just what is your favorite sports team

[ripe obsidian]

This reminds me of this video. Right before it, I said in voice, "I have a plan."

[wraith sphinx]

[ripe obsidian]

I didn't hear the DH until it was too late, and I thought that ledge dropped onto solid ground.

[wraith sphinx]

the sight of a captain errac was too much

[pale prairie]

So it sounds like veteran might need some tweaking?

[wraith sphinx]

I can relate though, high diff havoc gave me mega tunnel vision too

[ripe obsidian]

I think the other side drops to solid ground and I got mixed up in the madness

[wraith sphinx]

idk this was just a skill issue

guys just played like average vets, rushing ahead, almost never looking behind them, didn't even react when I soloed my way through to them

[pale prairie]

You were gun psyker?

it's a scrier's gaze build though

Ye because most good players just play havoc

Damn this was like a horror movie I could see the drop coming

I've played with plenty of good players on auric, especially mael

[pale prairie]

Gold toughness can’t protect bad choices I guess

[quartz barn]

Im not saying they dont exist

[wraith sphinx]

I highly doubt I'm the only person that tried havoc and bounced off of it

[pale prairie]

I mean I saw a true survivor title psyker stand next to sleeping DH until it woke up and killed them. I pinged it too

[quartz barn]

Just that they are a lot more sparse than before

[wraith sphinx]

eh agree to disagree

a couple months before arbys rolled out and for a while after it did random quality had cratered, now there's plenty skilled people in qp again

the omnissiah IS the emperor

the motive force is the power that makes all machines and life function

[upper sun]

🤔 damn........

[tulip kettle]

(electricity)

and the machine god is the machine god

[upper sun]

a loyal admech enjoyer?

there it is

[tulip kettle]

the omnissiah is the physical manifestation of the machine god (jesus)

its just the christian holy trinity but machines

[upper sun]

🤔

[wraith sphinx]

lol the emps conned admech into worshipping him as omnisiah and he gave them special boy exceptions in the ancient treaty of mars

[tulip kettle]

and yes, STC is AI

[upper sun]

🤔

[wraith sphinx]

this post brought to you by dark mechanicum gang

[upper sun]

you know what

ill take it

[tulip kettle]

the admech fly around in capital ships called arc mechanicus

[upper sun]

tbh

for all we know the emperor prolly was the bill gates of the age of tech

he could have been the one that made the stcs in the first place

[tulip kettle]

they think they are just warships but they are actually fully complete and functional ST constructors with the entire library of blueprints

so its super 40k and grimdark

[upper sun]

also the emperor is a technomancer

[wraith sphinx]

that's reaching honestly

[tulip kettle]

they spend the whole time hunting for scraps of STC and blueprints when they are flying around in the thing that they are seeking

[upper sun]

"machine heal thyself"

[wraith sphinx]

despite being the most powerful human being of all time he ain't omniscient lol

[upper sun]

@tulip kettle lets put aside our disagreements to kill that guy

[wraith sphinx]

and certainly not omnipresent

[tulip kettle]

one time, one of the arc mechanicus takes control when its in danger and shoots a gun that the admech dont even understand, and they think its "the machine spirit"

[solemn atlas]

I need advice and a scrier's gaze build with the force greatsword for havoc 40
How should I build the talent tree?

[wraith sphinx]

GOOD LUCK I'M BEHIND THE CICACTRIX MALEDICTUM

[tulip kettle]

robute's your gulliman

[brazen compass]

Devastates your Baal

[low lynx]

just tried psyker for the first time

this shits awesome

gotta get used to blowing myself up tho

[tulip kettle]

also, for most techpriests they dont even like communicating using audio - hadron is so pissed off all the time because she has to -talk- with us

[brazen compass]

https://tenor.com/view/emperor-palpatine-smile-creepy-star-wars-darth-sideous-gif-16455630

[tulip kettle]

she would rather just beam the information into our brains using the noosphere

theres also the elctropriests, who come in 2 kinds and theyre always at war with each other

fulgrites believe the motive force is sacred and not to be shared with anyone else, and unholy machines are blasphemy

[wraith sphinx]

don't worry, just practice pressing R often until you make a habit of it

[low lynx]

Valid

[tulip kettle]

they go around with electroleech staves and suck the motive force (electricity) out of everything to hoard it for themselves

[low lynx]

Cant wait to unlock that elektrostaff tho

Shits so cool

[tulip kettle]

the corpuscarii are the opposite, and think it should be shared with everyone

[zealous wing]

EK is fun

[low lynx]

Using that void one now

[tulip kettle]

so they go around zapping people all the time

[brazen compass]

I was gonna say "What about Kayex?" But he's not a tech-priest, so he's in a better boat

[wraith sphinx]

there are two void staffs...

so which is it...

[low lynx]

idk

[tulip kettle]

he is a techpriest

[low lynx]

i didnt look at the mk

[wraith sphinx]

yup he's a based Enginseer

[tulip kettle]

he's a magos-biologis

[zealous wing]

does it have blue circle or big ball

[low lynx]

blue circle

[brazen compass]

You're thinking of Kharib, I think

[zealous wing]

voidblast

[wraith sphinx]

ah voidblast

[brazen compass]

Kayex is an Enginseer

[tulip kettle]

oh sorry yeah

[low lynx]

which one is begter

better*

[tulip kettle]

enginseers are also techpriests

[low lynx]

Big ball one sounds cooler

[zealous wing]

VB is better for crowd crontol

[brazen compass]

But better

[tulip kettle]

but they are more like, a mechanic

[low lynx]

im gonna use the firething greatsword once i unlock it

[brazen compass]

I understand that they're on the lower rung of the techpriesthood?

[tulip kettle]

yup

[low lynx]

That one is good for hordes right

[tulip kettle]

they do the grunt work

but they still get education and understanding of machines'

just, an enginseer might spend 150 years fixing boltguns

or they may be responsible for maintaining a titan

[zealous wing]

what region are you in?

[tulip kettle]

so enginseer itself isnt a very descriptive title beyond "techpriest that fixes things"

[low lynx]

europe

[zealous wing]

cool

[low lynx]

bust mostly online late due to work

unless i have a free day

[zealous wing]

if you want a tag-along i can show you the FGS in action o.o

[low lynx]

Right on sounds good man

Im at work rn tho

[zealous wing]

i just woke up so i'll be around a while

[tulip kettle]

most normal EU sleeping pattern

[late yew]

... motive force literally just electricity

[low lynx]

Right on i'll msg you after work

Will be done in abt 4 to 5 hours

[tulip kettle]

yeah i said that a few times

[late yew]

ok i read it further

[tulip kettle]

and explained the electropriests and the different kinds and their attitude towards the motive force

they have these weird mechanical tattoos called electoos

which are basically batteries in their skin

and they are all blind...

[low lynx]

sick

[tulip kettle]

when they undergo the holy rituals they channel electricity through their body

its so strong it melts their eyeballs from their skulls

[late yew]

Electoos are not exclusive to them

Some hive gangs can use those to identify each other

[wind wind]

Any of you cuckleducks wanting to hop in a striketeam and play with me?

[static vessel]

Psyker: "I think it's time to kill everyone!" Why is Psyker literally me??

[ripe obsidian]

Because they are breaking the fourth wall

Shattering it

[static vessel]

TRVE

[ripe obsidian]

Smashing it to pieces

[median furnace]

I don't think it can parry the Chaos Spawn grab, but it can parry the other attacks, and parry the Plague Ogryn stomp.

[ripe obsidian]

The proposed DS rework suggested adding a parry

[low lynx]

Are there any perks to killing Daemonspawns?

[ripe obsidian]

And making the parry stab do bonkers damage. More on Psyker

[low lynx]

Do you get sth from it? Or is it just supposed to be a fun lil challenge

[ripe obsidian]

Nei. Not even a loot die

[low lynx]

Alr then

[ripe obsidian]

It's a Witch from L4D

Even coded as a witch

It's a hazard to avoid

Cold take: I do not like the implementation of Grimoires or Scriptures in Darktide. It feels boring compared with the puzzles of VT2, even if the puzzles were only interesting the first couple times.

[late yew]

in VT griomoires massively improve loot quality
Here they do nothing

[brazen compass]

Not true

They give a tingly sensation

[ripe obsidian]

I think they do improve loot here, just minimally. I can check the code.

[timid hearth]

Is there a way to complete dodge this (3) (15 headshots in 10 seconds) penance with the voidblast staff ?

[modest perch]

rejects be like "this book to spicy 😭 "

[ripe obsidian]

LMB

RMB cannot headshot

[brazen compass]

BB with EP counts too no?

[late yew]

Here loot is pointless

I literally did not have a single useful drop after mission in my whole 700 hours playtime

[ripe obsidian]

Yes, it counts as headshots. But not sure you can do it fast enough

[ripe obsidian]

This is valid

[timid hearth]

thanks !!

[ripe obsidian]

It's likely not the best weapon for the penance, but it is doable. I think I got mine with Voidstrike RMB in a dense horde. Lots of headshots per bowling ball.

[timid hearth]

I am at 14/15 😛

I ll try thanks again !

[dusk timber]

I dont think ive ever seen one in-game ever

I still have no idea what they are

[ripe obsidian]

They are randomized spawns on certain missions that give no meaningful reward and take up a consumable slot

[strong gulch]

Would BB kill pops ten in mortis count?

[ripe obsidian]

Probably

[strong gulch]

I hope so.

It's funny.

[late yew]

speaking of BB

i like full BB build

Very good boss damage and elite kill potential

[tulip kettle]

false.

true in heresy maybe

[lapis fern]

do the staffs stats effect any of the cooldown/damage of the blitzs?

[ripe obsidian]

Ainz makes great use of BB in Havoc, but Ainz is Ainz

[ripe obsidian]

No

[strong gulch]

Sut out here clutching helldive 8.

[timid hearth]

got it with voidstrike RMB pretty easily ! Ty ty

[zealous wing]

so, for orthus offensive on auric, what build would be best to go with, EK, inferno, or bubbleknight? BK works as a good middleground between CC and boss dmg, i feel, which may be the safer option if no one wants to run it with me when it's ready and i pull randoms/bots

[strong gulch]

Now he can carry me.

[ripe obsidian]

Glad to hear it. Good job

[tulip kettle]

anything is fine honestly, ultimately your job is likely to be clearing all the mobs

i would say BK is very mid as there are almost no ranged enemies

[zealous wing]

when i do it on uprising/malice QP i usually slap it on rodin or if someone goes down in the gas as a buffer for the corruption dmg, but i could see inferno doing a decent job at cleaning most of the trash

[dusk timber]

I wish you didnt have to fully commit to the 2 seconds every burst

[tulip kettle]

or just run your bk build but change bubble for scriers

and actually do good dps to the boss too

and yeah, but ainz plays it with KR so it doesnt take so long to charge

[ripe obsidian]

I love Tech Priests.

[late yew]

my screenshot proves otherwise

[late yew]

Scene with Pasqal in the bath is pretty funny

[median furnace]

Oh yeah, now we're talking

[strong gulch]

Bad heath curio spotted. It was just bad luck that they didn't show up.

[marble crater]

Congratulations?

[strong gulch]

context: I'm level one getting the daily curio from melk's shop and after like 2ish weeks, no health curios popped up but all of the others had.

[strong gulch]

No way else to get the worst of the worst.

By level 8 when you unlock the curio slot, you're already getting like 12% health curios.

[marble crater]

Makes sense

[dusk timber]

What talents should i be taking while leveling up

Just got to lvl 6

[strong gulch]

Assail is the main thing. What level are you?

[marble crater]

I will send a pro lvl 6 build

[dusk timber]

How reliable are crits on this point?

[tulip kettle]

more reliable than anything else

assail can proc them

[dusk timber]

Whats their crit chance?

[tulip kettle]

and so can your gun and melee

the main thing is that you have assail

and dont try to use a staff

[strong gulch]

If you're thinking about WE, don't it's bad,

Warp expenditure

bad

[pale prairie]

But

its so cool

[dusk timber]

Which one is that

[strong gulch]

stop it

[marble crater]

No but, warp expenditure bad

[strong gulch]

this is a new player

[pale prairie]

the one with toughness on GAIN of peril

[strong gulch]

the one you would take instead of mettle

[dusk timber]

Oh

I took the one to the left of that

[marble crater]

That one is good

You can take that instead of the assail recharge if you want

[pale prairie]

assail recharge is super fun

[dusk timber]

But if crits are actually as reliable as youre saying then ill run what you posted

[dusk timber]

Nah faster assail is gonna be huge

[pale prairie]

yes

[marble crater]

Even without the crits you will get toughness from soulstealer

[tulip kettle]

just stick with whats above

[pale prairie]

Goood goooood gooooooooood

[tulip kettle]

and lean on assail

[dusk timber]

And after that?

[marble crater]

@pale prairie am I D10 ready yet?

[tulip kettle]

keep developing the right side

come back in a few more levels and we will help you out again

[strong gulch]

It's not just about crits but also pathing. WE is just so bad. Even if you don't crit all that often.

[dusk timber]

I mean i wasnt using it

I was using the one to the left of it

[tulip kettle]

its slightly better

but ultimately, they are both kind of bad for you rn

[marble crater]

I would rather play without talents than use WE

[tulip kettle]

just stick with the ones above in the top section and keep developing the right side

[strong gulch]

I'm respond to crit chance and why you would take mettle anyways.

[pale prairie]

I'll take you there. The best way to learn is by death

[tulip kettle]

come back at lvl 10 or so and we will show you where to spend em again

[strong gulch]

[umbral oyster]

It's fucking
12am siblings
Time to sleep

[dusk timber]

Which force sword mk are good at what things

[upper sun]

@verbal thistle how the hell do you play this shit? i accidentally rolled with taxe and my hand still hurts

[loud girder]

always swing mod

[dusk timber]

Can someone tell me?

[verbal thistle]

using the weapon wrong

[strong gulch]

0/150 lol

[upper sun]

ikno i was trying the marks in meatgrinder i have the crit weakspot thing with headtaker i dont even know if thats any good

[verbal thistle]

what mk

[upper sun]

last one on bottom idk

5?

[verbal thistle]

2 4 7

[upper sun]

7

[marble crater]

It was 12am over an hour ago, you are living in the past

[verbal thistle]

2 push attacks would've cleared that room but the crusher

then like 4 lights kill it

7 is PA heavy spam

carapace is light spam

[upper sun]

yeah idk what i'm doing with it but still using it is very hand horty

[verbal thistle]

6 easier single targer 8 easier horde, 6 is debatebly better since the special warp slash is the horde clear

[verbal thistle]

not using the PA is the worst offense

[dusk timber]

Theres 3 mks

[verbal thistle]

Taxe is not a spam weapon until fighting cara

[upper sun]

its ok arby is broken enough i dont have to play correctly

[verbal thistle]

whoops

was talking great sword

obscurus single target is the only one I know

[zealous wing]

illisi is good horde clear, deimos is single target but possible to clear a horde, just, not quickly and not well. great against crushers, maulers, ragers. idk what the other is good for, its like a shittier illisi

[upper sun]

illsi isnt even good against hoards anymore

[icy breach]

its called weakness

[zealous wing]

not great, no, but of the three marks

[dusk timber]

I think i'll stick with deimos then

I got assail for hordes

[zealous wing]

ye if youre using assail, stick with deimos

in higher diffs a FGS would fare better than a normal FS, but malice and uprising is EZ mode

[icy breach]

until a wall of scabs comes your way then its oof for ya

[zealous wing]

how do you mean

which scabs

scab ragers, perhaps, scab maulers and crushers arent so bad unless its like, 5 or more, then you gotta be careful

[icy breach]

anything besides bruisers, shotgunners & ragers to an extend

[dusk timber]

Or a beast of nurgle right at the start of the character's first ever mission

[zealous wing]

i bonk crushers all the time with FGS

[icy breach]

thats the point; they are usually more than that number + other enemies

[zealous wing]

bubblekight pulls through

i see crusher, i bonk

i see mauler, i bonk

[icy breach]

just don't get overconfident with it; once you hit endgame mass (havoc) you'll understand

but it takes time & MANY games

[zealous wing]

i've seen h40, dw

[umbral oyster]

It's 1am for me local time

[dusk timber]

Man wtf is this starting ability 😭

The more i play psyker the more i hate this shit

Complete nothingburger of a button

Just some small stagger in a very limited cone in front of you and 10% peril quelled

Meanwhile every other class has an starting ability that actually does something

[patent jacinth]

Zealot

[dusk timber]

Its still a mobility tool

[patent jacinth]

and base shriek still keeps you from exploding

[dusk timber]

And it still gives a guaranteed crit with increased damage iirc

[marble crater]

The upgraded version with creeping flames is borderline OP

I mean... it's weak and needs a buff. Fatshark please

[pearl vortex]

i just had someone ragequit as we were about to extract and a bot replaced him and saved us

cause all of us went down

[dusk timber]

Ok and?

Doesnt change the fact the starting version feels fucking awful

[dusk timber]

Holding reload key also keeps you from exploding

[zealous wing]

sometimes someone will do this intentially to take one for the team in hopes itll work. had an arby do this twice and reconnect after alt-F4ing, but the 2nd time it caught onto his shenanigans and made him and the bot wait it out in the death rescue, but the bot did take enough heat the first time to save the match

[dusk timber]

Ye this is the one situation where quitting is acceptable

Just unlocked the force greatsword

[zealous wing]

noice

[iron tartan]

so "one with the warp" gives 10%-33% toughness damage reduction based on peril. Does this mean that if i'm at 0 peril, i still get a flat 10% toughness damage reduction?

[zealous wing]

yes

[iron tartan]

that's kinda big

[proper osprey]

It’s good

[iron tartan]

i'm making a knife psyker build, and have been playing around with it for a while, tinkering it as i go, and this seems pretty huge

[proper osprey]

One of three nodes for survivability on psyker

[proper osprey]

Melee psyker is good

[iron tartan]

i love melee psyker, the ultimate glass canon. I don't play him on havoc since it's too unreliable for me, but for auric it's awesome

[proper osprey]

With uncanny and riposte you dish out insane dps

[iron tartan]

plus 25 stacks of distrupt, and scriers gaze with finese bonus, insane crit damage

[proper osprey]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e81f1c9-3b63-4dc3-809b-9aee0aef4d51/evil-hatchetmancer this is mine

[proper osprey]

I’d rather go lingering influence

But if you can stack it it’s good

https://tenor.com/view/cat-headphones-jam-catjam-bop-gif-7100999673437361307

[iron tartan]

yeah i used lingering for a while, but after playing around with it i can comfortably stay on 20-25 due to the insane mobility of the knife, plus the 3 stacks on weakspot kill

[patent jacinth]

basic quelling can't abort Perils

[dusk timber]

If you mean you cant quell at 100% then i just did that

[proper osprey]

You can get to 100 but you can’t go over

What they are saying if you’re blowing up you can’t quell without venting or gaze

Or battle mediation

[dusk timber]

So far ive only blown up once while playing psyker

Even though im constantly spamming assail

And it feels like even when i hit 100% the window to manually quell is pretty generous

[iron tartan]

the window?

[zealous wing]

100 isnt instant explosion, using warp after 100 is

[dusk timber]

Between hitting 100% and actually blowing up

[dusk timber]

Damn

[iron tartan]

i mean if you reach 100% you can just chill there until it naturally goes down, 100% is just the final count to say "stop"

if you use any warp after 100 you die

if you just stop at 100, you're good

[dusk timber]

Ok this ability is somehow even more fucking useless than i thought

[iron tartan]

which ability

[dusk timber]

The downgraded shriek you start out with

[zealous wing]

its not strong but when you're in real combat with warp heavy weapons, its useful

[dusk timber]

The starting version only quells 10%

[iron tartan]

yeah, i mean any starting ability isn't very interesting

[zealous wing]

yes and? it saves your ass if you accidentally fire off an extra assail or warp ball

[dusk timber]

Theyre at least far more useful than this nothingburger

[zealous wing]

what difficulty you been on leveling up?

[dusk timber]

Highest one available

[iron tartan]

shriek is a good safety net, but more importantly being able to apply a burst of knock back a soul blaze is really good

[dusk timber]

Which is now second one

[zealous wing]

malice

[dusk timber]

Im not talking about shriek

Im talking about the starting version that is a downgrade to it

[zealous wing]

i can pull you up to heresy on the psyker im leveling up if you like

uprising is a walkthrough the level difficulty, so overload is pretty hard to hit

[dusk timber]

Also this has only happened once so far even though im constantly spamming assail

[iron tartan]

i am aware, but you can't really complain about low level downgraded abilities, they are bad because you have like no talents

[dusk timber]

Not really

[iron tartan]

?

[dusk timber]

Every other starting ability feels much better to use than this

[iron tartan]

psyker starts out weak combat ability wise, but he gets head pop off the bat, as well as staves

[zealous wing]

^ you can take out even crushers with ease at a much earlier level than most other classes (level 1)

[iron tartan]

exactly

[dusk timber]

Downgraded exe is still a chunky damage increase, downgraded fury is still a mobility button that replenishes toughness and makes your next swing hit really hard, downgraded indomitable still does a fuckton of stuff, and downgraded nuncio still has decent toughness regen and makes enemies take more damage

[zealous wing]

and shriek lets you not explode from destroying skulls

as well as push things away from you

[dusk timber]

All those abilities feel way better to use than "light stagger enemies in front of you and quell 10% peril"

[iron tartan]

i feel like if we're discussing the class abilities based on their usefulness so early in the game where you hardly even understand the basics of the game, we're wasting time

[dusk timber]

If the peril quelled was higher i could see this

[dusk timber]

Its not just usefulness

Its more so being actually fun to use

[iron tartan]

it still saves you though? When the explosion animation triggers, you're locked in for death, but the 10% saves you

[zealous wing]

well, i had 0 issue with it the first psyker i leveled up, and no issue the 2nd psyker either

[iron tartan]

1% would save you, the % is irrelevent

[zealous wing]

if anything btw TRY to overload and use it. theres a penance for it

[dusk timber]

Because with only 10% this becomes almost exclusively a button to for when you accidentally start to explode

[zealous wing]

thats EXACTLY what it is

[iron tartan]

exactly

[zealous wing]

its a "learning to balance a new number" button

[iron tartan]

if i have the choice between going down and not going down, i like being able to not go down

[dusk timber]

Im not saying to take away the quelling peril

[zealous wing]

no thats, its just exactly what its for. stopping you from being downed

[dusk timber]

Just make it a bit more useful for when youre not hitting explosion

[iron tartan]

it's still a fine "get away from me" button, like if ragers or crushers start overwhelming you

[zealous wing]

psyker is hard to play, apparently the hardest class to play. they need to train peril maintenance somehow, and early game an "undo" button is very very useful.

[iron tartan]

hard agree, early game teaching new players the basics is very important for the sake of their sanity

[dusk timber]

Yes? Ive never said it shouldnt do that

[zealous wing]

im just confused what you want it to do otherwise. match the upgraded version?

[dusk timber]

On a game rn will take a bit to answer

[proper osprey]

Stagger is dependent on the amount of peril you’re at

[dusk timber]

Basically: i pretty much never reach the point of peril where i explode, so having an ability that is pretty much just for when youre about to explode is almost the same as having no ability

Almost every time i pressed it was more so an "eh i might as well do this" rather than "oh this seems like a good opportunity to use my ability" like what happens with the other classes and their starting abilities

Which i do not find to be fun

[near gale]

Hm... with 4% peril resist on the force greatsword... I get 2 uses from 0% peril(also this is a very easy way to generate a fuck ton of peril to quell for quietude while leveling this psyker)...

I'm only level 10 right now <.<'

[dusk timber]

Anyways i just realized i have enough points to get another ability so no more

[near gale]

I deleted my 2nd arbiter and remade my psyker just in case they do add more staffs at some point :\

I remember the illisi being decent for generating peril if you wanted it before... but this force greatsword looks like it can do it even faster :\

So, uh, which force greatsword is better? The mk8 seems to have a decent light spam horde clear combo and the single target heavy combo loops... but the mk6's single target loops as well so idk. The 1st 3 lights on the mk6 look okay for horde clear, with the option for a single target light or a sweeping heavy after them :\

[dusk timber]

This is the second time the game spawns a monstrosity right at the start of a mission when im witha full team of bots on this psyker

[near gale]

the mk6 one does start it's single target combo immediately, instead of needing to do a light attack to start it like on the mk8 :\

I really like the angles on the mk8's single target heavies, tho. They are very easy to aim for me

[tulip kettle]

but, did i die?

[near gale]

Is it ultimately just preference for the 2 marks, like on the relic blade?

[strong gulch]

Yes. But they way you died was funny.

uhhh

sounds cursed

[tulip kettle]

shhh youre supposed to say "no and then you lived"

[strong gulch]

oh sey

sry

[tulip kettle]

what, you dont like wheezing constantly?

[strong gulch]

"no and then you lived"

[tulip kettle]

😄

wait thats when i died from the dwarf shooting me

[zealous wing]

ye l1 l2 block cancel for horde clearing works well, or l1 l2 l3 then a heavy sweep loop works if theres some brusiers in there as well, on mk6

[tulip kettle]

ill take it

[zealous wing]

mk6 i think is generally better, but i can only say that is what i've been told

[tulip kettle]

yeah it is

horde clear is basically the same but the stab being in the heavy chain makes it so much better for elite clearing

and yes warp resistance is the dump, you likely want everything else 80 then warp res as low as you can get

[near gale]

That heavy 2 on the mk6 slaps, but, I really like the angles on the mk8's heavies 2 and 3... They're easy to aim and do decent damage. That heavy 2 on the mk6, tho, looks great for sniping a rager in a horde... and the heavy 1 is the same as the heavy 3 on the mk8 so I guess I should stick with the mk6...

I also really like the perfectly horizontal lights 1 and 2 on the mk8, tho

[zealous wing]

the l1 on the mk 6 lets you slide and do a cool upwards sweep at the same time to stagger something or kill it if lucky

useful not really, but fun as hell

[near gale]

The mk8's light after sliding is the same, tho...

[low lynx]

@zealous wing im home now mate

If u still want to play

[zealous wing]

sweet

psykers lvl 26 now

[low lynx]

Mind my psyker is like level 6 tho

I just started

[zealous wing]

i gotchu

[low lynx]

Lol

Startin up

[near gale]

Not really sure how to feel about the mk8's heavy 1, tho. I usually prefer light attacks for horde clear since they're generally faster :\

[low lynx]

Think im abt to be done loadong in

[zealous wing]

you running campaign or skipped it?

[low lynx]

skipped

[near gale]

Oh the sprinting heavy on the mk8 chains into the heavy 3, gonna check the mk6 on that as well

[low lynx]

i aint goin thru karnak twins with randoms again

[zealous wing]

k send me a squad invite when ready, i need a brb and ill be ready to take you to heresy if you wanna

[low lynx]

Jesus

My weapons are low lvl so i'll probably have to be carried

[near gale]

Meh the mk6's sprinting heavy is the same as the heavy 2 on the mk8... the single target definitely looks at least faster on the mk6 :\

[tulip kettle]

yup

MK6 is just better for single target because of the looping stab

and again, the difference between the horde clear on the sweeping lights between 8 and 6 is not nothing, but its not much

[dusk timber]

Third

[near gale]

The 1 thing I like about the mk8, tho, is if I panic light spam it will always give me a horde clear attack. The mk6 gives it on 3/4 of the swings, so I could see that light 4 getting me hit :\

Then again it's like the mk10 relic blade's light 3(for the mk6's light 4) ig so I could use that to swap to single target immediately :\

[low lynx]

@zealous wing joined ur strike team

[zealous wing]

ye

[low lynx]

Vc or no?

[zealous wing]

nah

[low lynx]

Aight

Ready when you are chief

[near gale]

I guess I will just have to see which I do better with, the mk6 looks better for single target from what I can tell like you said.

[zealous wing]

ill let you pick levels if you dont wanna heresy, i just pulled up a mostly done bk build but am rusty after the psyker lvl up

[tulip kettle]

just tap block for a second to reset the chain

and you will always go back to sweeping L1

[low lynx]

@zealous wing fuck it man lets do it

Lets try first

[zealous wing]

k

[near gale]

Yep, or I can use the heavy after the light 3 if I remember ig x.x

The mk6's single target combo is also faster, the mk8's heavy 2 is a lot slower than its heavy 3* :\

[tulip kettle]

its also lower dmg than MK6 H2

[near gale]

True, but, it's at least easier to hit an elite in a crowd with the overhead heavies without jumping(for me anyway) x.x

I generally make my characters max height so I can hit elites in crowds better <.<'

[median furnace]

Maybe he can finally get those missing railings and unsafe explosive storage sorted out.

[zealous wing]

one can hope

though if im honest it seems all of tertium is a violation

[dusk timber]

Btw whats the difference between voidblast and voidstrike

[verbal thistle]

one is a circle on the ground

other throws a bowling ball

[dusk timber]

The pizza i ordered last night

[dusk timber]

Which one is which

[verbal thistle]

strike is bowling

blast is circle

[autumn smelt]

youll also see people refer to void blast as the trauma staff, its old name

[modest perch]

aka the correct name

[wraith sphinx]

sibling let's go bowling

[jovial juniper]

Rowanius

[sturdy reef]

I didnt start playing again until the crafting update last year, I only know them by their new names

[wraith sphinx]

Same but I prefer their old names because the new ones are too similar

same model with a minor variation
both names start with void
It's just terrible

[sturdy reef]

[plucky flax]

Poe2 free weekend anyone playing?

[zealous wing]

its easy mode but still, im surprised i got the kill from up here

[raven mountain]

Just for the free cosmetic for clearing act 1, then it's back to the dumpster until 1.0.

And I can't wait to be done. Threw an hour at it, and didn't quite finish.

[proper spoke]

Might get my crew to play on Sunday. I bought it ages ago

[ornate hamlet]

I have it,i played 4h,and i uninstalled back when it launched on consoles

[plucky flax]

Is cool man I probably will buy it to continue playing on monday.

Free game my ass.

[marble crater]

Are you buying the 370 euro version?

[plucky flax]

Nein

Probably the 60 or 70 one

[zealous wing]

damn

i'd definitely wait to see if its a good game based on the uh... previous messages

[plucky flax]

It's a good game.

Just different from poe1 atm.

[wraith sphinx]

good shooting

also I love that quelling pose on assail, I did it a couple times myself when I had panic attacks and it genuinely helped lol

[ornate hamlet]

Wait what

Didn't we already buy the game for like 20€

[umbral oyster]

Any1 up for some gayming?

[plucky flax]

I never tried poe2 early access so far.

But they reworked a lot of stuff with this big update so I'm playing the free weekend then buy it.

[ornate hamlet]

Waiting on my pancakes to arrive 😁

[umbral oyster]

After that?

[ornate hamlet]

Oh,i got it in the beginning last year or some sh1t , I don't remember,i didn't like it tbh

[ornate hamlet]

After that i am free🆓

[umbral oyster]

👍

I'll be in 1

[ornate hamlet]

@plucky flax in the beginning it was dodge simulator

I hope they have fixed it

[zealous wing]

what level of gayming

although tbh now probably isnt the time for me to be teaming up, im tired and should probably be in bed soon

i see in lfg its heresy+, i probably would not fare super well lmao

[marble crater]

You already did auric, you will be fine

[north crown]

Does the Inferno staff inflict Soulblaze, or just boring run-of-the-mill fire?

[cold hornet]

soulblaze/warpfire

[copper jay]

How is bubble knight these days ?

[marble crater]

Still the same how it always was I imagine, nothing was buffed or nerfed since

[rigid sky]

All builds are relative to the game environment, and fatshark loves tweaking that behind the scenes

[hard widget]

They do?

I wonder what they change behind the scenes

[umbral oyster]

Still waiting on those pancakes?

[winged lotus]

Favourite psyker build, anyone?

[ornate hamlet]

No but i keep crashing,i can't play DT 😭

[sinful peak]

what are some fun guns to use on gunker that are not vraks or las

[winged lotus]

had the same issue today. updated your graphics driver? fixed mine

[ornate hamlet]

Let me buy ps5 pro i am on fat ps5

[woven sentinel]

Where to find good psyker builds?

[umbral oyster]

Oof

[rigid sky]

Agri IAG is also probably pretty good with it

[sinful peak]

I wonder if the revolver with the reload talent could be good

[icy breach]

Meme; nice for bosses if you’re gonna use the agri one aka the fan revolver

[analog agate]

See pins

[sinful peak]

or the double barrel even

[icy breach]

Meme

[sinful peak]

[woven sentinel]

Its tough to play as psyker when back from arbites 😭

[wind wind]

Autopistol If youre good enough.

Braced autogun maybe

Double barrel shotgun for the memes

If youre running a melee gunker hybrid build maybe bolt pistol 🤔

[wind wind]

Yeah, going from

Cues inner joker "HIT MEEEEE"

To

"I have fallen and i cant get up"

[proper osprey]

Revolver

[wind wind]

Genuine question, why?

You only have five rounds, so no benefit in dealing with hordes, and you already do enough damage without the scriers gaze. So what is the benefit?

(I mean unless youre playing bubble gunker, then id understand)

[proper osprey]

Chucking bosses and armor

It’s either that or laspistol

Or ek and vb

[wind wind]

The Revolver does that much Boss damage?

[proper osprey]

The fan fire yes with dd stacks and gaze with all your buffs it shreds

[wind wind]

Ah ok, ive only ever played with the aim down sights one.

Need to try the fanning one then.

[proper osprey]

I was skeptical of it but I trusted Cole

[wind wind]

Always trust cole

[icy breach]

I was advocating for it too albeit obscured

[pearl vortex]

So im using force greatsword and inferno staff and have been seeing a lot of people using the throwing star grenade recently, is it better than the brain rupture or just depends on playstyle?

[radiant frigate]

i would advise against this combination

headsplosion goes well with inferno

inferno goes okay with fgs (but better with dueling sword)

inferno + assail is Not Great

[pearl vortex]

Ill keep this in mind thanks! I was lowkey wondering what melee to use as psyker, im pretty set for using inferno and brain rupture but ill use dueling sword and see how it turns out

[radiant frigate]

different melees for different purposes

dueling sword for a dedicated mobility/anti-armor/anti-boss tool (goes well with inferno and voidblast)
force greatsword for the authentic melee experience (goes well with Gun™ but also solid with EK/voidstrike)
force swords (deimos/obscurus) for an inbetween

[pearl vortex]

I really like mobility as a psyker, any links to a build with dueling + inferno?

Like a speedy psyker if those exist

[umbral oyster]

Siblings, anyone on?

[ornate hamlet]

Its okay,some other time when they fix their game,IF they fix it

[wispy bay]

Tac Axe and Knife are options if you want some alternative.

[radiant frigate]

for maximum zippiness with ds/inferno, something like this

scrier's with speed, disrupt destiny giving speed on kill, and mettle for speed on crit

buut i would not recommend this

recommend this instead

inferno main weapon for both cases

[deft stump]

How dare you insult my memes.

[marble crater]

9 stamina bad

[woeful sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/skibidi-toilet-bunny-bunny-skibidi-bunny-gif-11607229479981485553

[pearl vortex]

Is this one still somewhat fast lol

[radiant frigate]

still has mettle, no situational speed boost from sg/dd

still decently quick

[rigid sky]

I really like Deimos with Inferno if I'm using Shriek tbh
