Now do I take a normal melee weapon or the emperors toothpick?

tulip kettle
#

everything burns

#

well, trash is gonna die like nobodies business

#

elites will exmplode if you put them in the middle of the circle

zealous wing
#

probably something to help you fend off big things in emergency

tulip kettle
#

so really only mutants and crushers are gonna be a problem

zealous wing
#

deimos perhaps, if you want to avoid FGS

deft stump
#

Someone went red.

cinder perch
zealous wing
#

oof lol

tulip kettle
#

DS is perfect

#

with carapace and maniacs

#

to bonk crushers and muties

zealous wing
#

i try to keep one of each melee i might ever use or want to try

deft stump
#

Deimos if you wanna not be seen with a DS.

tulip kettle
#

MY STREET CRED

zealous wing
#

i even have a max combat knife and taxe if i wanna

cinder perch
#

I think I HAVE one of each of them, just not maxed

zealous wing
#

since i learned theres a 25mil ordo limit apparently my brain decided its time for me to make myself broke, so i went for it lol

#

also, after using FGS so much, i discovered playing ogryn is a bit less painful

#

still unpleasant, low level problems, but can at least tolerate him now

tulip kettle
#

playing ogryn is "i click the bully club"

#

i throw the rock

#

i win the game

zealous wing
#

mainly using the shield, havent found a good gun but i think kickback is working fine enough for the level up process

tulip kettle
#

shield is fine

#

but has literally the worst dodges in the games

#

put brutal momentum on it, then spam H1-block cancel

zealous wing
#

ye its not great, mainly had it from when my spouse wanted to get MM as well

tulip kettle
#

cronching 4 bruisers in 1 hit is always satisfying

zealous wing
#

so i got the oggy up to shield, then we went for it

radiant frigate
tulip kettle
#

non gunker psyker - boss damage

#

pick one

zealous wing
#

hmm

#

not dealing boss damage in pubs is honestly a huge pain

radiant frigate
zealous wing
#

because NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO KILL IT 😭

tulip kettle
zealous wing
#

now i hunt every QP for a combat stim because i KNOW some mfer is gonna show up and kill a few people

spark swallow
#

I never thought that Scrier+Trauma is so fun.
Everything just keeps exploding and burning indefinitely!
I use to just use SC on gunker but using it on Surge and Trauma is fun too!

tulip kettle
#

scrier is definitely worse than shriek on trauma though

#

scrier on EK is great fun

radiant frigate
#

oh most definitely

acoustic jacinth
#

Probably my favorite build

spark swallow
#

i've been gunkering for a while now so finding this one lights the soul burn in my heart again xD

radiant frigate
acoustic jacinth
#

Warp unbound

#
  • siphon
#

= never blow up

tulip kettle
#
  • seers + cdr curios
acoustic jacinth
#

(Literally)

radiant frigate
spark swallow
#

yes!

tulip kettle
#

100% peril ALL THE TIME BABYYY

#

but the issue with it on trauma

#

blazing only goes up to 6 stacks

spark swallow
#

3 of same curio is nice

tulip kettle
#

so you really need the shriek to bump the stack numbers

radiant frigate
tulip kettle
#

come now darlings

spark swallow
acoustic jacinth
# tulip kettle + seers + cdr curios

It's so peak. I also got convinced to use smite with this in particular and icl it's not a bad idea. I was only taking BB for KF since EK M1 is so stupidly good anyways, so now with smite, i have efficient, safe trash horde clear to make up for the single target premise of the staff

tulip kettle
#

yeah i mean i tried it

#

but also

radiant frigate
tulip kettle
#

you have access to anticipation and ightning speed

spark swallow
cinder perch
#

Running the build in damnation rn, very fun

#

Absolutely cleaves through everyone

tulip kettle
cinder perch
#

Only issue has been I peril'd myself lmao

tulip kettle
#

youll get the hang of it

#

you want to aim for charging at around 80 peril

#

then quelling back down

spark swallow
#

yeah, I mean if you're used to perile management without Vent or SC

#

you'll be fine

tulip kettle
#

the cool thing is you just tap quell while sliding

#

and yes, again blazing trauma just NEEDS creeping flames

#

to take things higher than 6 stacks of blaze

#

you wont have any trouble stacking warp charges

radiant frigate
#

SC?

#

super credits?

spark swallow
#

Scrier's Gaze + Warpp Unbound

radiant frigate
#

serpentshrine cavern?

#

scrier's caze

spark swallow
#

in my case rn, "Scrier's Craze"

radiant frigate
#

scry some more

tulip kettle
#

and if you dont pull shriek, put it on the bottom of the deck.

spark swallow
radiant frigate
#

it costs 400000 mana to cast this spell
for twelve seconds

cinder perch
#

Okay this build COOKS thanks so much @tulip kettle

spark swallow
#

Just a fun build

tulip kettle
#

why wildfire

#

is this for use with blazing trauma?

#

the more i look at this build the more nonsense i see

#

back to burning ratties

radiant frigate
spark swallow
#

Yeah, in favor of spam

acoustic jacinth
#

Blaze trauma is used in tangent with shriek

#

And for a very good reason

#

The idea to keep SG going is not bad but just poorly done

marble crater
#

If you want to spam trauma, use rending trauma

spark swallow
#

That bit is what I enjoy

#

Just spamming it

#

If I'm going with my original build, its nexus and flames

#

Then shriek and siphon

#

Another fun one I use to zip around and break up groups as a frontliner is force sword+rending after breaking the group and shrieking. Just speeds up the process of killing groups with melee

I bought £80 of poe2 Pogryn

zealous wing
#

has this hat ever been in cycle where the cloth was either not there or was a different colour? hard to match the red with anything i've got or want to wear regularly, been curious though because other than the cloth the hat is nice

#

all i could locate from searching discord has been this same hat as it is, but longtime players might know for sure

#

like, if the cloth was even just grey or brown, even white, it would SO work

deft stump
wraith sphinx
#

As far as I know, there is only one trader hat variant

Also mettle despite not taking prescience

Sacrilege

icy breach
# tulip kettle why wildfire

exacly; your only source of it is from random crits & perilous combustion - and your yield on spreading is not that high to begin with but i understand it slightly cause you took in fire reborn; still not the best choice

wraith sphinx
#

This build is genuinely compromised, redo it from scratch

icy breach
#

5% crit not significant enough in comparison to 10% cdr

wraith sphinx
#

Only if you don't explicitly go for a crit build

#

If you're going for crits, it's best to go all in

icy breach
#

i wonder why

wraith sphinx
#

🤨

icy breach
#

and pathing

#

you lose a talent if you go for crit aura

summer prairie
#

rending trauma isn't

icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

The crit chance on non SG builds is still whatever

icy breach
#

its ez math boi

spark swallow
# spark swallow Yeah its not optimal, its just fun

^ not at my pc atm so cant really check out the stuff you guys point out. But yeah its not optimal nor good for havoc, its just a fun idea I had (main gunker, I dont play with staves after the whole headshot and gibbing issue with Surge staff

wraith sphinx
#

well if I'm playing with scrier's gaze then crit aura is better because it complements scrier's gaze which also has an incredibly short cooldown

#

otherwise I'm using the cdr aura

spark swallow
#

But damn I liked surge staff back then

icy breach
spark swallow
#

I liked it better back then when you actually have to aim for headshots

wraith sphinx
#

actually no I lied I still use prescience on my non crit build psyker too lol

#

because I don't like playing without anticipation

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Yeah it made it boring tho

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Its too easy to go surge and spam shriek

wraith sphinx
#

oh wait no it's my gimmick soulfire build where I use souldrinker too

wraith sphinx
icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

oops all soulfire talents KEKW_ogryn

spark swallow
#

Or just gets rid of fun

#

I still like stabbing with my knife

icy breach
spark swallow
#

I dun need it if I dun get hit lmfao

wraith sphinx
icy breach
spark swallow
#

I dun like playing havoc ngl

#

It just stresses me out.

#

Im ady stressed at work

#

I play for pleasure

wraith sphinx
#

yeah havoc is unfun 😔

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Nope, not everyone needs to go through havoc

icy breach
wraith sphinx
spark swallow
#

Its just I dont need to unnecessarily stress myself or I just know my limit

spark swallow
icy breach
icy breach
spark swallow
#

Its a game

wraith sphinx
#

how do I put this succintly

icy breach
#

but you do you; its a choice

wraith sphinx
#

I can take the most random most dogshit weapon and talent combinations to an auric maelstrom game with 3 terrible randoms and still win if I'm locked in

#

I can't do that in havoc

spark swallow
icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

standard game lets you use whatever loadout you want and you'll win because you're good

#

havoc takes that away

icy breach
#

and it gets worse

wraith sphinx
#

that's bad game design

icy breach
#

for the unprepared

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Yeah and not going for havoc which has no actual story progression is just an added challenge for those who has time to play and practice it. I mean if I dont have 3 little munchkins running around taking my time apart from work and household then I might've picked up on the challenge lmao

wraith sphinx
#

darktide doesn't demand a lot though

#

it just tries your patience with bullshit

icy breach
zealous wing
#

i dont see how someone finding a moshpit stressful wouldnt go to a metal concert. if someone doesnt like havoc, thats not 100% of the game. if someone wants to focus on running through uprising for 3k hours, let them. its a game, let tham have fun how they have fun.

icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

yeah I quite don't know what was the point of that earlier gatekeepy remark, it's their choice which difficulty they want to play on

icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

and this is psyker-chat, not havoc-general

spark swallow
icy breach
spark swallow
#

Anyways once I'm home gonna check the pointers people gave, see if I can make the SC trauma more fun xD

zealous wing
#

out of curiosity i went into uprising and literally just fucked around until i almost died. you can get away with a TON in this game if you match the difficulty to what you wanna do. honestly i like that its that versatile, fuck around mode, and fuck around, find out mode, and everything in between

icy breach
wraith sphinx
#

I mean

icy breach
#

i have to go too

wraith sphinx
#

there are no enemies on uprising KEKW_ogryn

icy breach
zealous wing
#

not none, it was the ampetheatre one in the carnival, you can apparently still get fucked up if you're dumb about it

icy breach
#

its soo chill

wraith sphinx
#

Yeah

#

Auric maelstrom is simply my fun zone and I love it

spark swallow
wraith sphinx
#

and like I've said a million times I'd play havoc if it got rid of the party finder

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Im stuck with 1 penance that requires private game xD

icy breach
spark swallow
#

Yeah

icy breach
#

later tho

zealous wing
icy breach

i will have to leave like NOW

Is MM, right?

zealous wing

it probably is

spark swallow

I'll check if I can actually play later on, if the kids are still up and running around, most likely not.

Trappers are also the main reason I don't like playing on servers outside my own because the lag makes it impossible to dodge nets

just paly the current event and see the level of brain dmg players have

shooting bursters near teamates

letting bombers do their thing for ages

just pressing W

on pretty much all classes

wraith sphinx

True

#

Imagine if randoms pressed W that much on rolling steel

#

Win rate would jump up to 100%

loud girder

i wish 😭

#

that map is literally press w

#

rolling steel is funny its either a very ez clear or an absolute hellhole

wraith sphinx

All you gotta do is press w and lmb!!!

it was the scab flamer that gave the most trouble now he stands out like a sore thumb lmao

dusk timber
zealous wing
#

they forgot his voicelines initially 💀

dusk timber
#

its like the sound of a gas stove lighting up

zealous wing
#

now they're in

acoustic jacinth
#

Granted, i have pretty shitty hearing but that's the thing. When everyone has their own voicelines they overlap and drown each other out. Not to mention the noise that teammates and their weapons make on top of all of this

dusk timber
#

havent been able to notice them

#

what are they?

zealous wing
#

its hard to describe tbh, i havent paid attention much just, new voiceline/voice? scab flamer

wraith sphinx
#

"Initially" they were bugged for a month or two

zealous wing
#

something something fireball

dusk timber
zealous wing
#

honestly though the VA did good i just cant remember the sentences

#

trapper is like "did someone call for a " wicker? wire gun? i cant tell

dusk timber
#

specialist cue voicelines dont show up in the subtitles so when i hear voicelines but dont see subtitles its an immediate red flag

zealous wing
#

ye

dusk timber
zealous wing
#

"ill sell you down here" maybe?

dusk timber
#

do snipers have voicelines though?

zealous wing
#

no they have an "EH"

#

they make rat noises

dusk timber
acoustic jacinth
#

Ragers are hilarious

#

YOUR DEATH WILL EUGHHH BE BLEGHHH SWEET

dusk timber
#

ngl snipers feel more like elites than specialists

#

idk why

zealous wing
#

dreg ragers sound like that "im not racist, but asian people suUUUGHHH" meme sometimes

#

like i hear it and it throws me off a little like, who tf coughed

#

bro needs honey water quick

#

its hard to explain that sound any other way

#

also, can we talk about the tox bombers

#

why they sound so horny for nurgle

dusk timber
#

or at least pay attention

zealous wing
#

i can never remember to clip things, ill try to when i can

#

the dregs are just all around ... odd

wraith sphinx
#

I think dreg ragers say stuff like "From life... death" and "Grandfather... give me the strength to kill (in your name?)"

#

Maulers are pretty intelligible, can't mistake them yelling "For the Grandfather!"

tulip kettle

I think only crushers don't say anything intelligible?

zealous wing
#

hmm

#

an interesting point

tulip kettle
#

all the ogryn voice lines are just, ogryn voice lines

zealous wing
#

bulwarks say "stomp you flat"

tulip kettle

but chaos-ey

wraith sphinx

They just chuckle and roar

#

Peak male performance honestly

zealous wing
#

might be hard to talk with the facial scarring the scabs do

wraith sphinx
#

Nah

zealous wing
#

bro they missing the whole upper lip wdym nah 😭

wraith sphinx
#

Most enemies don't even have lips yet speak coherently

zealous wing
#

you think an oggy would bother working around it?

#

"this is me now. RAWWWR"

wraith sphinx
#

Bomber, moving to position!
doesn't even have the lips to pronounce b

zealous wing
#

you CAN make a sound very similar to a B to make it work over such a long distance Thonk_ParadoxPaws

zealous wing
#

lmao

#

"welcome to the mobian 6th. here is your special issue soundboard. this will give you set lines to choose from when about to attack an enemy. we want them to think you're all the same dude. oh, also... speaking of, your facial structure needs some slight... modifications. please hold still."

#

i AM curious why only some of them have that scarring though. is it a matter of who joined after vs who was part of the original 6th? is it an initiation thing? Thonk_ParadoxPaws

loud girder
#

if you look up enemy voicelines

#

they do talk a lot

#

we just dont hear it in action much cause 1 billion things are happening

#

and because their voicelines are either cries for help straight out of a horror game

#

or random grunts/shouts from disfigured nurgle cultists

wraith sphinx
#

a lot of voice stuff also straight up does not play because it's very easy to reach the sound channel limit

I was so perplexed when Shriek in Rogue Trader only hit one enemy

#

Well, mostly disappointed

raven mountain
#

Yeah, there's other "spells" for aoe shriek, but they don't set anything on fire. 🙁

#

Though fire psyker is a force of nature, regardless, ime. Doesn't really matter how much armor or how many enemies they have, it just kinda scales infinitely.

prime saddle
#

is the wall shield any good or is it only really worth using the bubble?

strong gulch
#

Double wall is largely not worth it.

#

X2 wall can help juice EP BB with KR (but this is a niche build)

walls can also be nice for when the game spams specials at you (like mutant trains in maels)

pale prairie
strong gulch
#

But it's funny. 2 free points and you get to grief your team.

IDK about very good, especially in a semi competent team or better.

I say that as a BB enjoyer.

Did anyone do math on how much damage scrier + DD add to DS and laspistol?

idira is the psyker from the start of the game right?

pale prairie
late yew
#

yes

dusk timber
#

huh

#

guess i havent gotten to her yet then

#

or tbh i prob wont ever get to her

late yew
#

And she has that personal item that increases her psychic rating for every single psychic event

#

Which makes it completely busted

late yew
#

you literally cannot avoid getting her?

pale prairie
#

Yeah she’s a default character

late yew
#

She is literally in the first 10 min of the game?

dusk timber
#

ok so she is the one right at the start of the game

late yew
#

her name not that hard to remember

idk i kinda just gave up on rogue trader once i found out ||i cant romance the sister of battle||

That's a yes

proper osprey
fallen yacht
#

what talents are we using on dueling sword nowadays?

dense flume
#

Oh you said talents. Derp

jovial juniper
#

Literally any talent

#

Staffkers use for single target damage if they don't want obscurus or Deimos or FGS

#

Gunkers use if they don't want knife or FGS or tactical axe

#

It's just that good

#

If you're a hands gameplay psyker then it helps killing elites for EP stacks

dense flume
jovial juniper
#

For most builds it's Uncanny + Riposte/Precognition

#

Or you could go full CRIT build with Riposte Precognition

marble crater
#

Uncanny and Thrust, to avoid having to decide between riposte and precog

ruby tide
#

any fellow space wizard enjoyers have a max damage build? trying to find what all affects smite and if theres any way to make my build better

#

ie i was told your warp resist on staff affects how much you build up with smite ect

patent jacinth
#

Smite and damage do not go in the same build

#

The only way you can make smite "do damage" is use it to spam Shriek for Soulblaze damage

ruby tide
#

but is there like a best staff to use, anything complement smite

ripe obsidian
patent jacinth
#

Nothing really compliments smite

#

Its just a hold 2 buttons and wait for you team to do anything tool

ruby tide
#

idk, i just had a maelstrom with 723k dmg and next closest was 535k

#

just trying to optimize it

patent jacinth
#

If you want staves for crowd control Voidblast and Inferno are the picks

ruby tide
#

ive been trying inferno for a backup when i dont have emp psyonics stacks

patent jacinth
#

Alternatively, if you're cool, you use right tree and Voidstrike

ripe obsidian
#

Voidstrike is the most fun staff, it is true

ruby tide
#

i thought right tree sucked for smite because it cant crit

#

or just main use strike

patent jacinth
#

You don't use smite for right tree

#

You use assail

ruby tide
#

fair

#

i just want to feel like darth sidious lol

patent jacinth
#

Electrokinetic staff

ruby tide
#

yeah its good for single damage but its not the same

#

smite buffs when

patent jacinth
#

Never

#

hopefully

#

I want it reworked to not be terrible so bad

ripe obsidian
#

Replace smite with some sort of AoE CC with a long-ish cooldown or massive peril cost. Black hole is my vote. Pull all the enemies into one place

edgy smelt
#

all i can imagine is cassia from rogue trader now with point of curiosity i believe its called

ripe obsidian
#

That is the ability, yes. I learned about it after my initial black hole idea, but it makes me feel like it's reasonably canon

edgy smelt
#

but that feels more like an ability not blitz

ripe obsidian
#

Possibly. But I want to find something that fills the same niche of high CC, low damage

#

I'd also enjoy some sort of force wave you through out that either slows enemy attacks/movespeed or locks them in place. The latter would likely be too powerful.

#

Or, hell, make it so one cast slows enemies and multiple locks them down.

Diva is my favorite maelstrom because of the existence of Warp Syphon Smite Gaze Unbound

Burster conga is the so free Warp Syphon

tomorrow marks 2 weeks since i got the BK build. i think thing's are going quite well 🙂

quickplaying into heresy is no longer stressful, but enjoyable :D

zealous wing
#

maybe damnation within the next week at this rate? Thonk_ParadoxPaws

candid temple
#

I'd suggest trying damnation now, it's really not that much harder.

#
  • players are usually slightly more competent, which increases success rate.
zealous wing
#

nah i gotta get a lil better at not getting hit before i run damnation/auric pubs

#

gotten too low hp for my liking in heresy

candid temple
#

just run ds and dodge kek

zealous wing
#

nah i use bubbleknight

#

so i got an FGS

#

DS is terrible for crowd control

quick crystal

Hi. So I've recently started leveling up psyker (since they seem to be hardest to find in havoc) and was wondering if there are any tips? It feels very different from other classes with constant juggling between staff, blitz and melee.
The path im going for is focused on electricity (staff for elite focus, and blitz for horde control) and also invest a lot in reduced peril generation and cooldown.

zealous wing
#

well, first thing, smite will teach you bad habits if you aren't careful with it

craggy moat
#

Can spyker still kill walls of armored enemies with soulblaze uncany combo?

zealous wing
#

second thing, a major part of psyker DPS is being able to maintain about 70-80 peril when using a staff especially, and using kinetic flayer from brain rupture is vital to that build, esp on a havoc / auric

craggy moat
#

Psyker

jovial juniper
#

Nothing changed about it

zealous wing
#

ah

craggy moat
#

Ohh cool i was thinking maybe it got nerfed cause it is kinda op, but then again not evrybody know how to pull it off

zealous wing
#

it wont be smite, but, smite isnt high DPS and inferno staff /voidblast are better for crowd control

#

the only time i've seen smite work well in auric is on the current event, for dealing with bursters

craggy moat
#

To be honest there is smite build that works very well and can put up good dmg nummbers, but the gameplay itself is just braindead, basicaly hold 1 button for 30 mins, and you basicaly dont learn how to play the game properly

zealous wing
#

ye theres a lot of emphasis on "bad habits"

#

similar to the poor souls starting darktide on the current arbitrator

jovial juniper
craggy moat
#

Bruh arbitrator is just crazy wtf did they think adding that monster in this state

jovial juniper
#

Or even bubble if you feel like bubbling

ornate hamlet
zealous wing
#

mettle is addicting

#

need to beat the zealot to the task because im feeling competitive? shoot a few groaners behind me. zoom. win. kek

#

every time i do that the zealot, vet, whoever just kinda stares at the thing like "why cant i open the... oh"

quick crystal
#

From what I gather while using smite so far, the main issue is getting hit from behind, due to reduced mobility?
I play zealot in havoc mostly and noticed a lot of psykers use brain rupture with flame staff. And it feels like these builds start to struggle against a lot of elites, especially crushers or ragers (since brain rupture is kinda slow). So when 20+ of them with the horde behind them start rushing the team, neither brain rupture, nor flames are fast enough to stop them.

jovial juniper
#

You can technically get over smite mobility issues if you manage your dodges so you're always dodge positive and also dodge slide

zealous wing
#

thats usually what the melee is for fending off until they can get somewhere safe, but its also the bash-and-wacker's job to keep the glass cannons free to deal the dmg

jovial juniper
#

But the reality is that all of the blitzes have their drawback

quick crystal
#

I sometimes feel bad for psykers when I shoot elites before they fully load brain rupture or mow down a horde they were trying to burn

jovial juniper
#

Brain Rupture is mostly picked for the Flayer node

zealous wing
#

if they're running inferno with kinetic flayer, every single attack including passive fire ticks can trigger a head burst, with a 15s cooldown

jovial juniper
#

And it's 15 seconds

#

Which is not ideal

zealous wing
#

usually using the actual blitz is saved for "this thing is causing issues i need it gone NOW" mode

#

like a far away sniper or if they're the last one alive kind of deal

#

i use it to pick off gunners surprisingly often as an inferno build, esp in pubs, because no one can take them out fast enough to keep us moving, so it helps, and it also spreads flames even further away

#

cluster of 15 gunners, headpop one, the rest get covered in fire

quick crystal
#

Stopping 10 crushers in their track with smite sounds very strong to me. Had these havo games where absurd crusher spawns forced the team back to elevator

zealous wing
#

its strong, but you cant fight back during it, its similar to chorus for zealot in that way.

#

but chorus will also stagger monsters

quick crystal
#

That being said, it feels a waste using flame staff while having smite. Since they're both aoe and leaves you without single target focus

zealous wing
#

you'd use it with KF

#

EK also works great with KF

jovial juniper
zealous wing
#

also, an important note

#

theres a havoc modifier that stops enemies from being able to be stunned, no?

jovial juniper
#

And if you bring a good melee against single target you pretty much don't need to use Brain Rupture at all

zealous wing
#

that would render smite entirely useless

quick crystal
jovial juniper
#

Final toll
Elites under 50% hp blah blah blah cc immunity

quick crystal
#

It starts working only when enemies drop to 50% hp but still

jovial juniper
#

But smite already falls off at havoc due to horde enemies having more mass and generally more hp

strong gulch
#

If red and purple, the red enemies can be healed but still be red.

#

Inferno has infinite cleave and smite does not.

#

You can stay more mobile with staff too.

jovial juniper
#

Smite would absolutely devour havoc
But Fatshark was smart for once and gave those hidden modifiers to every enemy

strong gulch
#

And yeah BB isn't used that much. It's more to help with range.

BUT also pathing to KF. Which helps with snoeballing SB DoTs for and from other talents.

quick crystal
#

So one of the downsides of smite is limited number of enemies it can stun?

zealous wing
#

one of the downsides, yes

#

but comparatively its a very small downside

jovial juniper
#

Within 15 meters at first

strong gulch
#

When compared to inferno smite kills less, it's less mobile, has few enemies that it can handle at a time, is more affected by hitmass and hp increases, and is less apply and move on.

jovial juniper
#

Then it spreads to every 2-3 enemies around 5-6 meters of the target being smited

#

Smiten?

#

Smoten?

#

You get it

zealous wing
#

smote i think

jovial juniper
#

So yeah it also scales with density

#

The more the merrier

#

Basically psyker whole schtick rn

quick crystal
#

I do aim for cc rather than dps. Maybe it's in my head, but it feels like a lot of psyker dps goes to waste. Like burning a horde while a zealot runs in and mows it down just as fast regardless. Or getting their BB targets headshoted twice as fast.

jovial juniper
#

Seems like you're looking for Gunker

#

Aka gun psyker

#

Which doesn't essentially need a gun

#

Could opt for the VoidSTRIKE staff

#

It's basically right side of the tree

#

You get to hit a lot of critical hits while buffing critical/weakspot damage

quick crystal
#

Ah. The thing is, psykers in havoc are loved for 1 main reason only basically. And it's that sweet bubble of safety. I need to invest in CD (which is left tree side) to spam it

jovial juniper
#

So bubble knight

#

Melee psyker with Force Greatsword and Bubble

#

Although I don't agree with Psyker bubble bot on havoc

#

Feels like gimping yourself, you know

#

But hey

quick crystal
#

Gimping? If not the bubble might as well take other class in havoc

#

Im pretty convinced t this point, that after 25-30 havoc the fun basically has to end if you want to progress and you have to take what's useful for all

strong gulch
#

Inferno bubble is meta in havocs for a reason, but yes bubble gimps your personal damage. Shriek (creeping flames assumed) just casually double your damage.

#

No H40 is goofy times.

#

Everyone either locks in or does memes.

#

Bubble is not absolutely needed but it does help with survivability.

mighty fractal
#

sorry, INFERNO and VOIDBLAST now

#

You are basically a bubblebot though

quick crystal
#

Prob those who have reached the rank can afford to have some fun. Those that still aim for it take it more seriously

mighty fractal
#

I'll never get over those name changes lol

#

Yeah havoc progression is really wacky since all it takes is one bugged Ritual spawn to end an entire run, etc.

#

Also hell yeah Mushishi pfp

#

Voidblast is great when you don't have Final Toll in the map, at which point it's basically inferno or bust

#

I'd say VoC on vet and Chorus on Zealot are more 'required' for their respective classes than bubble is on psyker, though that's more because the alternatives don't bring much to the table at all (outside of boss nuke bonk builds on zealot with hammer + Fury/Stealth)

#

Wins with Shriek are not entirely a myth

#

but bubble is a huge boon for your team's positioning

#

Also man what is with these h40 lobbies that sit in party finder for like 30 minutes but turn down clearance 40s

severe folio
#

maybe the clearance expire

#

cuz they are all afk

#

after 30 min

quick crystal
#

I dont mind just spamming bubbles and CC'ing like a bot for a while. Need a break from zealot and havoc mode lacks psykers the most. Probably cuz their the squishiest. Seen a poor guy chased by a few crushers for like 2 minutes after getting seperated yesterday.

mighty fractal
#

Yeah I'm fine with going bubblebot since I like the playstyle

#

I imagine people who want to play the other two ults are not as happy, though

#

same with how everyone just sighs whenever they play zealot, because they're going to be a biblebot for the next 40 minutes

#

when the most fun zealot gameplay is charging at shit and destroying it. But that doesn't provide nearly as much support as a pulsing invuln + stagger that also gives gold armor. Like I have no idea if/how FS is going to bring the other zealot and vet ults up to speed without giving them tons of tools

#

or maybe they'll just say "H40 isn't representative of 'normal' play, and is meant for the true achievers. So we're fine with the H40 meta being strict."

quick crystal
#

It's like that with 80% of the stuff in havoc probably. Regardless how fun a weapon or a build is, it's usually not as useful overall. And potency is needed to succeed

mighty fractal
#

Ogryn and Arb have a lot more freedom with their weapon and ult choices because the classes are generally strong/flexible, at least

#

I do like how vet smoke nades have gotten a new lease on life in havoc, though

#

People finally realized that turning off swarms of shooters is actually very strong

#

On a similar note, I've run into multiple Scrier psykers in h40 tonight

#

I'm willing to let it rock

viscid matrix
#

Having a meta in havok is good

everything works in auric, and people just play whatever they want there instead

jovial juniper
quick crystal
#

I dont have Arb yet, but poor slab has only half the arsenal to choose from compared to others. Half of it is rather similar too.

static sonnet
#

Does Electro staff charge attack have bonus crit chance or something?

jovial juniper
#

Yeah

#

Critical Bonus stat

#

Recently a regular here did some diving about it

#

@/fearfulofsevenius

quick crystal
#

I feel like Arb's main usefulness is the dog. Arb is tanky, sure, but doesn't really have other tide changing mechanics like ogryn's big boom

mighty fractal
jovial juniper
#

It's pretty mid without it

mighty fractal
#

Arb has generally overtuned (read: properly tuned for H40) weapons, dog, and shock mines

#

shock mines and shock dog are probably the strongest things about the class, though it has good mobility and general tankiness too

zealous wing
#

cant forget the actual invuln button

mighty fractal
#

Shock mines are insanely good for clutching, though, so long as you space them out properly throughout a mission

#

Feel like they're going to get the biggest nerf out of anything in arb's kit

jovial juniper
mighty fractal
#

Stance is really strong too yeah

#

though charge is the most flexible and lets you kite/clutch

zealous wing
#

how long do you reckon until they even realise they fucked up with the balancing and actually FIX it? my money is on, whenever the sales for arby slow down enough

jovial juniper
#

Yeah that's standard practice

#

They also kept 2 keystones half working for a whole month

#

So add another month on top of that

#

To compensate, you know

zealous wing
#

enough people buy it, get to a point of no refunds, then boom, nerf, and they keep the money while the arby's with no actual game knowledge flounder and probably ragecry

#

imo it's better to buff something over time to what you want than introduce a broken overpowered robocop then nerf it. people got a taste of power they could have if they had skill, its gonna wreck some people

deft stump
#

And this assumes you also played less than 2 hours from it.

zealous wing
#

a nightmare still means possibility

#

they'd want as little risk as possible

deft stump
#

Begging support for a kind one time, yes.

mighty fractal
zealous wing
#

to give some fairness to ogryn though they only have what 12 total weapons to choose from, melee and range included?

deft stump
#

Even then. Their numbers are on the overtuned side.

#

Heck, pathing oggy for the worst possible build is the hardest bit.

mighty fractal
#

Oggy is just really hard to balance

#

its numbers almost kinda need to be overtuned to make up for how clunky it is to play

#

It's either been great or doodoo for the game's entire lifespan

deft stump
#

Yeah, but pretty sure not 400% bonus overtuned lvl.

#

For just doing nothing but swing.

zealous wing
#

but ogryn big and strong :(

#

nah it does feel like they are a bit TOO good sometimes, but, when i play a non BK build, its nice to have a good ogryn

mighty fractal
#

True, but that honestly might be mroe of a bullyclub mk3 thing

#

That shit is way too safe for how much stagger and damage it puts out

#

the pickaxes feel more in line with how the class is designed imo

deft stump
#

And they still have pretty decent ranged bp on a full on melee build.

#

If you can deal with heavy stub.

#

Refuse to talk about rumbler.

#

That thing straight up needs a fix.

zealous wing
#

you just reminded me to change bigger box of hurt for big friendly rock for sniping

mighty fractal
#

it's so funny to me how people thought rumbler was bad until havoc

radiant frigate
#

rumbler is good?

mighty fractal
#

yes

#

very

#

easy safe aoe stagger, especially if a vet feeds you ammo

deft stump
radiant frigate
#

is that the grenade launcher with like 20 shots

mighty fractal
#

but it does do everything else

#

Yeah

deft stump
#

It's bugged.

mighty fractal
#

The brittle only applies to the direct grenade hit

#

Unless it's bugged

radiant frigate
#

ah okay

mighty fractal
#

Ahh

deft stump
#

Instead of direct hits apply brittle...

#

The explosion also does.

mighty fractal
#

How long has that been a thing

radiant frigate
#

i dismissed it because i prefer my ranged weapons ranged

mighty fractal
#

because only the direct hit applied brittle for the longest time

deft stump
#

Yes, it stacks with the nodes that make it bigger.

jovial juniper
#

I wish Grenadier Gauntlet was better though

deft stump
mighty fractal
#

Okay maybe that's when it broke then

#

I took a break around then and came back with the arbites update

radiant frigate

And yes, no fixes yet.

yeah this could definitely be fun. or end in tragedy. or both

yes, most likely

i imagine what i just threw together isnt terribly far off from a build that already exists and is used well, so i mean, no harm in a lil fun if it works in the end, right?

#

i just gotta remember i have no bubble, but i do have deflector

#

wait

when did they

#

I CAN HAVE MORE THAN 5 NOW!?

halcyon plover
#

The description of the “Superiority” Blaze Force Sword blessing was updated to also include Specialist enemies. This is a change that will be fully introduced in a future update, so for now there will not be any effect in active gameplay.

#

kek

#

why put this in before actually updating it

#

that will actually make the superiority blessing so much better though

zealous wing
#

i am beginning to think they write blessings incorrectly on purpose now

halcyon plover
#

they just did

zealous wing
#

i mean, all of them

#

like the one thats like +5 strength based on peril, is completely missing the part about "stacks every 20 peril" part

#

so instead of 25 strength at 100 peril, one would think its 5 strength at 100 peril, 2.5 at 50, etc

radiant frigate
#

thrust gives up to 20% power based on charge time! stacking up to 3 times!
is this 20% total or 3 stacks of 20% each?
wouldn't you like to know!

jovial juniper
#

Nothing beats optimized cooling

radiant frigate
#

does that mean it goes faster at low heat or high heat

jovial juniper

It reduces the amount of heat generated on continuous shots

#

"with all due respect, which is none"

jovial juniper
#

#

there's vague, and then there's lies

its SUPPOSED to be 50%, but, some dumbass forgot the % and its not been fixed for HOW long?

#

Crunch do be 2 stacks of Thrust

#

Sheesh

#

wohoo time to repatch my game again!

thanks fattykark

radiant frigate
zealous wing
#

again, lies

#

instead of preventing minmaxing, they've made it so people unaware of how fucked up it all is will fail to make a good build most likely, and others will come here and learn the truth anyway

#

so instead of publicly available minmaxing you have a community of minmaxers Thonk_ParadoxPaws
