everything burns
well, trash is gonna die like nobodies business
elites will exmplode if you put them in the middle of the circle
probably something to help you fend off big things in emergency
so really only mutants and crushers are gonna be a problem
deimos perhaps, if you want to avoid FGS
Someone went red.
Then I'll just take the dueling sword because I sold off most of my other melees
oof lol
i try to keep one of each melee i might ever use or want to try
Deimos if you wanna not be seen with a DS.
MY STREET CRED
i even have a max combat knife and taxe if i wanna
I think I HAVE one of each of them, just not maxed
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
mainly using the shield, havent found a good gun but i think kickback is working fine enough for the level up process
shield is fine
but has literally the worst dodges in the games
put brutal momentum on it, then spam H1-block cancel
ye its not great, mainly had it from when my spouse wanted to get MM as well
cronching 4 bruisers in 1 hit is always satisfying
so i got the oggy up to shield, then we went for it
but vhat about mein boss damage..
single weapon fgs it is then
because NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO KILL IT 😭
as is holy and written
now i hunt every QP for a combat stim because i KNOW some mfer is gonna show up and kill a few people
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!
its, OK
scrier is definitely worse than shriek on trauma though
scrier on EK is great fun
oh most definitely
i've been gunkering for a while now so finding this one lights the soul burn in my heart again xD
this is great for speedrunning an explosion
- seers + cdr curios
(Literally)

yes!
100% peril ALL THE TIME BABYYY
but the issue with it on trauma
blazing only goes up to 6 stacks
3 of same curio is nice
so you really need the shriek to bump the stack numbers
the hairstyle compels you to scream MAYFLIES
come now darlings
its just for quickening cooldown. get those stacks of siphon up real quick
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
no no 6 stacks of soulblaze
you have access to anticipation and ightning speed
yeah, its enough just to keep geting siphon with "In Fire Reborn"
and when we have these, there is only 1 melee that exists
Only issue has been I peril'd myself lmao
youll get the hang of it
you want to aim for charging at around 80 peril
then quelling back down
yeah, I mean if you're used to perile management without Vent or SC
you'll be fine
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
Scrier's Gaze + Warpp Unbound
and if you dont pull shriek, put it on the bottom of the deck.
it costs 400000 mana to cast this spell
for twelve seconds
Okay this build COOKS thanks so much @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
blaze trauma without nexus?
Yeah, in favor of spam
Nexus is very important tbh, and if you're going to use warp unbound SG, you're just way better off playing EK or Voidstrike
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
If you want to spam trauma, use rending trauma
Yeah its not optimal, its just fun
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 
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
I think it was matched with an older rogue trader set.
As far as I know, there is only one trader hat variant
no soulstealer on a warp based build... pepega
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
This build is genuinely compromised, redo it from scratch
nah; even on crit builds ppl run cd aura cause it saves you points
5% crit not significant enough in comparison to 10% cdr
Only if you don't explicitly go for a crit build
If you're going for crits, it's best to go all in
every psyker build is crit unless you go smite
an even then ppl dont take it
i wonder why
🤨
its the position of the tree
and pathing
you lose a talent if you go for crit aura
rending trauma isn't
yeah forgot about it; its low key goat
That is still suboptimal if you aren't going for scrier's gaze
The crit chance on non SG builds is still whatever
what is better;
5% crit aura
or
10% cdr aura that allows you to use your ability more that your build is based on that gives you ALL the buffs like 20% crit, 10% dmg & gets better the longer is active
its ez math boi

^ 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
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
But damn I liked surge staff back then
its still good really; unchanged
I liked it better back then when you actually have to aim for headshots
actually no I lied I still use prescience on my non crit build psyker too lol
because I don't like playing without anticipation
i mean... you just spam m2
Yeah it made it boring tho
valid but point taxing
Its too easy to go surge and spam shriek
oh wait no it's my gimmick soulfire build where I use souldrinker too
like it looks like this
oops all soulfire talents 
Never, I hated that. Other smykers mess up my melee timings because of smite
Or just gets rid of fun
I still like stabbing with my knife
its fun till you lose cause there was no smite to save ya

I dun need it if I dun get hit lmfao
you can just use it when you actually need to lol
Havoc 
I dun like playing havoc ngl
It just stresses me out.
Im ady stressed at work
I play for pleasure
yeah havoc is unfun 😔
then this game ain't for you
Nope, not everyone needs to go through havoc

Its just I dont need to unnecessarily stress myself or I just know my limit
Fuck that game lmao. I dun get how that game is fun
if you don't have a good build & most impotantly skill yes its unfun... but so is ANY game
i haven't played it myself i just put it out there

So.. if you cant play the hardest difficulty, that means youre not meant for the game? I dun think thats how it works.
Its a game
how do I put this succintly
its not that you can't
You refuse to
and thats a massive difference
but you do you; its a choice
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
Then where did this comment come from?
ye cause its endgame
duh
standard game lets you use whatever loadout you want and you'll win because you're good
havoc takes that away
the game in general is quite stressful; you should know that
and it gets worse
that's bad game design
for the unprepared
thats like almost every game that demands alot from the player lmao
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
thats nice; keep your munchkins in check 
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.

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
i dunno man; awareness, micromanaging, build making, synergies between teammates
I dunno 
and this is psyker-chat, not havoc-general
I cant really comment on this since the backend stuff I worked with, people could say the same thing xD
every chat is havoc chat... or any class really; ppl talk about everything everywhere in this server if you look hard enough 
Anyways once I'm home gonna check the pointers people gave, see if I can make the SC trauma more fun xD
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
do keep those updates coming; can help ya if you wish too 
I mean
i have to go too
there are no enemies on uprising 
i can confirm; coming from H40 to even heresy is like... a walk in the park
not none, it was the ampetheatre one in the carnival, you can apparently still get fucked up if you're dumb about it
its soo chill
Sadly that's the level the peeps who bought this game with me (they goaded me to playign with them, now they have abandoned me in game) play on xD
and like I've said a million times I'd play havoc if it got rid of the party finder
i mean ppl can break their legs by getting out of bed (real stories btw) so yeah
same goes for fking up arby builds despite being almost idiot proof
Im stuck with 1 penance that requires private game xD
the brainburst one?
Yeah
the arby who died first in an auric mission and ragequit will live in my head rent free
i will have to leave like NOW
Its been there since forever lmfao.
Im in asia, I doubt we can hop on
whats your time now? I have 3.30 pm but will be back in like 4h
Arbys are the tankiest class Ive seen ngl
tankiness cant save you from stupidity
I can help you now if yo uwant
9:30pm, just doing laundry rn so im away from home
ah
or really bad luck i suppose, but since he ragequit i presume the former
I can help at like 10:30pm-11pm GMT+8.
Is MM, right?
it probably is
I'll check if I can actually play later on, if the kids are still up and running around, most likely not.
Triplets js no joke. I feel like we skipped some levels of parenting kekw
oof
You know; someone’s gonna fill up that declining birth rate; you’re doing the species & the economy a great deal of service

Tell that to my wife, shes the one who gave birth to triplets, I'm just helping her and providing for our family lmao
Good luck 
Doom.
yeah but you have to engage in a specific type of stupid (get netted) to die
since due to dog presence you are immune to dog
They can out toughness an Ogryn it’s crazy and definitely generate it faster
he got ganged up on from being too cocky, guess he didnt have or ran out of his "anti-death" ability
Yup, trappers are still the thing that still end my runs the most
nah
you just need to be bad
this is 99% of the playerbase
already got that covered
except me of course im goated
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
True
Imagine if randoms pressed W that much on rolling steel
Win rate would jump up to 100%
i wish 😭
that map is literally press w
rolling steel is funny its either a very ez clear or an absolute hellhole
All you gotta do is press w and lmb!!!
Yeah the moment an arby stops to sniff his own farts it's fucking over
One time I played and saw a random stay like two wagons behind while the rest of us struggled forward
Ended up quitting halfway through
They shoot through walls at my ping even, lul.
So this is the power of fujoshi...
Tbh i feel like vermintide did the idea of a "trapper" better audio wise
You can make out CLANK CLANK CLANK
No matter what happens
Here, you get net jumpscare.
eh idk
that bitch cant shut the fuck up
Naw, bitch can be extremely quiet. I'm just tuned to it out of fear even on Arby.
same for the majority of specials
it was the scab flamer that gave the most trouble now he stands out like a sore thumb lmao
scab flamer has the most subtle cue iirc yeah
they forgot his voicelines initially 💀
its like the sound of a gas stove lighting up
now they're in
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
wait really?
havent been able to notice them
what are they?
its hard to describe tbh, i havent paid attention much just, new voiceline/voice? scab flamer
"Initially" they were bugged for a month or two
something something fireball
tbh this is also part of the reason i keep the subtitles on
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
specialist cue voicelines dont show up in the subtitles so when i hear voicelines but dont see subtitles its an immediate red flag
ye
also "something new for my collection" "ill sell you (something something)"
"ill sell you down here" maybe?
do snipers have voicelines though?
im pretty sure i hear a "down to" and then something i cant make out
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
i very rarely hear the voicelines for elites except for maulers
or at least pay attention
i can never remember to clip things, ill try to when i can
the dregs are just all around ... odd
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!"
DIE NOW
sorry :(
web gun
ill slow you down
CASTING NET! HEHEHEHUEHEHEHEUU
something new for my collection
or them yelling for the other enemies to get out of their way
my kill
all the ogryn voice lines are just, ogryn voice lines
bulwarks say "stomp you flat"
but chaos-ey
Nah
bro they missing the whole upper lip wdym nah 😭
Most enemies don't even have lips yet speak coherently
Bomber, moving to position!
doesn't even have the lips to pronounce b
you CAN make a sound very similar to a B to make it work over such a long distance 
they use a soundboard
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? 
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
a lot of voice stuff also straight up does not play because it's very easy to reach the sound channel limit
except of course dreg gunners
this poor soul in LFG emea
literally every other class after this is gonna be a struggle
doesnt know what they stepped into
Except oggy.
even still
and they're on xbox

any other class will be a difficult one in comparison, even arby if it ever gets the fucking nerf hammer anytime soon
Oh no, not Xbox
You mean, TS H40.
I wish
also, crushers DO have at least one line
i cant remember it but i DID clip it so i just gotta cut that down
i hear "smash" clearly but not the word before
Word before might be "would" 
ok, if you spam flaming shriek it is pretty stupid
yes very true
Say it ain't so
I was so perplexed when Shriek in Rogue Trader only hit one enemy
Well, mostly disappointed
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.
is the wall shield any good or is it only really worth using the bubble?
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)
Unless of course you don’t get the node for stunning 
But it's funny. 2 free points and you get to grief your team.
Except it does not clear just trash
there was another spell that did aoe
now shut
It is great for BB builds
Very good boss and elites clear
IDK about very good, especially in a semi competent team or better.
Also, I mention BB builds directly below that line.
I say that as a BB enjoyer.
Only trolls use wall shield
🥔
Yeah, there are multiple. Like Cassia has her eye thing.
I generally dislike Idira, so she's not in my party anymore.
just is not a correct word my friend; your contribution is as good aswell
Keep it up King 
and Queen 
Did anyone do math on how much damage scrier + DD add to DS and laspistol?
I feel like i one-shot everything on headshots
Build or personality?
and gotta say, 25 DD stacks is definitely a better talent
HOW DARE YOU
Just wish multiple targets could get marked like EO
idira is the psyker from the start of the game right?
She’s the UNSANCTIONEDPSYKER
yes
And she has that personal item that increases her psychic rating for every single psychic event
Which makes it completely busted
????????
you literally cannot avoid getting her?
Yeah she’s a default character
She is literally in the first 10 min of the game?
ok so she is the one right at the start of the game
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||
bruh
any VT2 enjoyers?
why
because im playing VT2...
are you sure?
So go to VT2 discord?
what a tool you are
... are you stupid?
what if i'm banished from vt2 discord
What did you do 
i said something that could be interpreted as racist by some
and so i was vanquished
Fucking elgi had it coming
They’re no better than rats
i'm #reformed now
im not
not even with the #?
shameless rat hater
so wait are you banished too
no i just wanted to ask the people i play DT with all the time
its not hard to find people to play with i was just asking, you know, the people i frequently play with
as someone who doesn't have to live in the setting of WHF
i like the funny rat people
👍🏻 makes sense i just misunderstood then
and yes rat men are cool yes-yes
i have begun the conversion of my admech into ratmech
probably not gonna do the whole army though just a couple ranger squads and some breachers
maybe a dunecrawler but im not inspired for that one yet
top 3
I can try a couple rounds.
join me yes-yes
Build, mostly. Personality is eh.
You said dwarves suck and elves are superior didn’t you?
The ratling speaking is so fun-fun
no i actually have a lot of respect for dwarves, even if they are lumberfoots
They, like most if not all pets, are basically kids who never grow up
Can be cute, can be well behaved, but expensive and not for the faint of heart 
No. Cats are way better.
Yeah
what talents are we using on dueling sword nowadays?
Thrust + uncanny tend to be the staples afaik. I like agile, though. At least on the purg/bubble build since ds is kind of defensive there and unlimited dodges can be helpful
Oh you said talents. Derp
Uncanny Riposte Precognition
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
Out of curiosity, is that your preference in order?
For most builds it's Uncanny + Riposte/Precognition
Or you could go full CRIT build with Riposte Precognition
Uncanny and Thrust, to avoid having to decide between riposte and precog
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
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
but is there like a best staff to use, anything complement smite
Hey wait, you stole my Psyker's name. >:(
Nothing really compliments smite
Its just a hold 2 buttons and wait for you team to do anything tool
idk, i just had a maelstrom with 723k dmg and next closest was 535k
just trying to optimize it
If you want staves for crowd control Voidblast and Inferno are the picks
ive been trying inferno for a backup when i dont have emp psyonics stacks
Alternatively, if you're cool, you use right tree and Voidstrike
Voidstrike is the most fun staff, it is true
Electrokinetic staff
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
all i can imagine is cassia from rogue trader now with point of curiosity i believe its called
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
but that feels more like an ability not blitz
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.
Smite
Empowered Psyonics
+5% ranged damage
Warp Rider
With the forbidden Warp Unbound
Enfeeble
ty ill test it out
Maximize EP and Warp Rider output
Diva is my favorite maelstrom because of the existence of Warp Syphon Smite Gaze Unbound
Burster conga is the so free Warp Syphon
Because smite just instakills them
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
maybe damnation within the next week at this rate? 
I'd suggest trying damnation now, it's really not that much harder.
- players are usually slightly more competent, which increases success rate.
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
just run ds and dodge 
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.
well, first thing, smite will teach you bad habits if you aren't careful with it
Can spyker still kill walls of armored enemies with soulblaze uncany combo?
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
spyker?
Yes
Psyker
Nothing changed about it
ah
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
check the pins for a build that might work better for you and give it a try, the EK build might be a good way to teach you some more basics that hold up well in auric+
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
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
ye theres a lot of emphasis on "bad habits"
similar to the poor souls starting darktide on the current arbitrator
Keep your toughness up
Dodging
Soulstealer
Quietude
Mettle
Bruh arbitrator is just crazy wtf did they think adding that monster in this state
Or even bubble if you feel like bubbling
Soul what? Que who? Mettle?

mettle is addicting
need to beat the zealot to the task because im feeling competitive? shoot a few groaners behind me. zoom. win. 
every time i do that the zealot, vet, whoever just kinda stares at the thing like "why cant i open the... oh"
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.
You can technically get over smite mobility issues if you manage your dodges so you're always dodge positive and also dodge slide
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
But the reality is that all of the blitzes have their drawback
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
Brain Rupture is mostly picked for the Flayer node
if they're running inferno with kinetic flayer, every single attack including passive fire ticks can trigger a head burst, with a 15s cooldown
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
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
its strong, but you cant fight back during it, its similar to chorus for zealot in that way.
but chorus will also stagger monsters
Yes it's strong
Woops no enemy can attack
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
Indeed
Pretty much overlapping roles
also, an important note
theres a havoc modifier that stops enemies from being able to be stunned, no?
And if you bring a good melee against single target you pretty much don't need to use Brain Rupture at all
that would render smite entirely useless
Yeah. Would render smite pretty much useless
Final toll
Elites under 50% hp blah blah blah cc immunity
It starts working only when enemies drop to 50% hp but still
But smite already falls off at havoc due to horde enemies having more mass and generally more hp
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.
Smite would absolutely devour havoc
But Fatshark was smart for once and gave those hidden modifiers to every enemy
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.
So one of the downsides of smite is limited number of enemies it can stun?
Oh no
It goes on infinitely
However it'll only tether to 2-3 targets at first
Within 15 meters at first
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.
Then it spreads to every 2-3 enemies around 5-6 meters of the target being smited
Smiten?
Smoten?
You get it
smote i think
So yeah it also scales with density
The more the merrier
Basically psyker whole schtick rn
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
Well, you do have the most passive damage in the game with purgatus and trauma
sorry, INFERNO and VOIDBLAST now
You are basically a bubblebot though
Prob those who have reached the rank can afford to have some fun. Those that still aim for it take it more seriously
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
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.
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."
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
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
Having a meta in havok is good
everything works in auric, and people just play whatever they want there instead
Well
Fury of the faithful is already loaded as shit, FS has to bring Chorus and Shroudfield up
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.
Does Electro staff charge attack have bonus crit chance or something?
Yeah
Critical Bonus stat
Recently a regular here did some diving about it
@/fearfulofsevenius
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
It is super loaded, though the 'problem' is that the team support Chorus provides in Havoc is way too good not to bring most of the time
Yes
Dog is the best part
It's pretty mid without it
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
cant forget the actual invuln button
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

Stance is really strong too yeah
though charge is the most flexible and lets you kite/clutch
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
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
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
Problem is with DLC is if you played the game for more than 2 hours, refunding anything is a nightmare unless you refund within 2 weeks of release.
And this assumes you also played less than 2 hours from it.
Begging support for a kind one time, yes.
A meta is fine, it's just that Ogryn and Arb get to mix and match while the other three don't that's kinda fucked up
to give some fairness to ogryn though they only have what 12 total weapons to choose from, melee and range included?
Even then. Their numbers are on the overtuned side.
Heck, pathing oggy for the worst possible build is the hardest bit.
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
Yeah, but pretty sure not 400% bonus overtuned lvl.
For just doing nothing but swing.
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
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
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.
you just reminded me to change bigger box of hurt for big friendly rock for sniping
it's so funny to me how people thought rumbler was bad until havoc
rumbler is good?
AoE brittle, AoE CC, AoE burn and maybe bleed.
is that the grenade launcher with like 20 shots
It doesn't apply aoe brittle
but it does do everything else
Yeah
Yup
ah okay
Ahh
How long has that been a thing
i dismissed it because i prefer my ranged weapons ranged
because only the direct hit applied brittle for the longest time
Yes, it stacks with the nodes that make it bigger.
Missing out
Truly
I wish Grenadier Gauntlet was better though

All I know is it's been broken since the rework.
Okay maybe that's when it broke then
I took a break around then and came back with the arbites update
if i play ogryn again it will be stubber sorry
And yes, no fixes yet.
Heavy Stubber
Twinkle twinkle big Stubber
Which one
😭
the correct one
(heavy stubber)
You mean funny.
I still don't know what to do with the Hstubber that isn't the Achlys
Achlys Hstubber is just that good
wouldnt it be nice if electric staff full charge a gurantee crit
is it The Fast One
could make it a blessing to replace nexus
or could bake it into surge and witness the warp flurry meta unfold
As a Hstubber is the slowest but hits really hard on criticals and weakspots, basically Ogryns Vigilant Autogun
As a Twinkle, it's the really fast peashooter
this is why i thought the hstubber of the same name would also be The Fast One
Get Fatshark'd lol
tanky Psker builds?
All of them
Just don't get hit

Anyways it's all about keeping your toughness maxed out
Dodge
Soulstealer
Quietude
Mettle
Sanctuary
One With The Warp
The small toughness nodes that you'll pick on every build
The small tdr nodes that you'll pick every build
Empathic Evasion
Oh and dodge
kinetic deflection
3 toughness curio
True
i just started this game today, so far what i like is the blazing force greatsword, plus the bolter pistol because i miss my space marines
kinetic deflection will let you block indefinitely if you know how to manage dodging and peril to go back to blocking quick enough
Fuck it, infinite dclaw parry
hmmm bubbleknight in the making perhaps?

generally bubbleknight is with vraks or reconlas but i believe bistol was also on the menu for that, right?
if you like bistol sure
bistol
I mean sure
Puncture interactions shenanigans thingamajig
firm believer that reconlas is BiS though
Dont be the 5000000th rumbler ogryn please
if i get my hands on a combat stim, yeah reconlas SHREDS monstrosities
i usually only go through a single clip, if that, and if i run a little short the burning finishes them off or someone elses stab does
shred or not it's reliable and only takes very little time to apply its max burn
ye
plus full refresh on toughness via mettle if you hold down the trigger for like a second
ye its lovely
thinking about a KF/SG gunker build now... that might be fun
useful? possibly not very, but fun, at the very least
bosskiller
bro nah the reaper fucking MELTED
like, 5 shots in and he just gone 
yeah this could definitely be fun. or end in tragedy. or both
Tragicomedy?
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!?
HELL YEAH
looks like they match it to the number of characters you can have
this makes me happy, i no longer have to worry about limiting myself to 4 real builds and 1 fuck around build 
When Arby's released
8 loadouts
8 character slots
8 in coherency
Wait,we have loadouts? 
alright first heresy test run, not ideal, i didnt use SG much, kept trying to use assail when i needed to reload but still had stuff to kill / dmg to do
but, i didnt die :D
only got one PO to test on but there were two ogryns there as well so, while the thing died in like 5 seconds, hard to gauge if it was me or them that did the most dmg
@deft stump excuse moa if i am just finding out about loadouts,that facepalm emoji was unnecessary 
no its necessary
mhm
loadouts are up here, hit the +
rightclick to change icon or delete it
you can change cosmetics, weapons, talents, curios
I am on console 
idk then whatever secondary fire is? fuck if i know

be left trigger, no?
He looks like an anime side character lmao
lol
Edge code vein/god eater side char 
this is my bubbleknight
this one is for "im gonna murder everyone i can get my sights on" SG/KF whateverthefuckimdoing
other than BK they're sorta colourcoded
well i guess inferno is just desert dweller vibe
anime side character tho does fit most of them if they have FGS
The purple is nice.
it is, i like it
keeping my eye out for a better head cosmetic tho
the hat would be nice if the veil wasnt red
Where is the hobo one in front of your 7/11 shop?
dont have one
tho tbh i very well might switch the red armour to BK at some point
well, the black and red one
i do like it
Is there even purple headgear? Me dont think so
not that i could find
a smaller hood would work, anything brown like the leather, black, grey, etc would also work, neutral stuff
yeah exactly.
i see them all the time and im like

because this hood type just wont cut it
now if it was matching, it could work, but it would HAVE to match both the brown and the purple
Hit right thumbstick.
Later 
Or special atk.
Yeah, true
It can reliably stagger dogs and push bursters away
I like it
This karking Game....
Exactly 😂,its like gravity itself is your ally
Did they fix the, you crashed because game decided to use combatsword pic on a combataxe?
this is a crashing fix for mission transitions i think
like, from mission to mourningstar
and, thats it
thats the only note
They changed a blessing description too
Except it hasn't actually changed, so the description is now wrong
well the only note that matters, the blessing desc isnt affecting anything rn they plan to add it later on
Hold on
yeah
It's not Thursday/Tuesday
tis monday
Psyker seeing the future
It might be fucking huge
Really high uptime
And like
Only 2.5 less than Slaughterer
Is slaughterer 40
You're thinking too much
(literally one of the combos I'll run on Illisi)
Infinite supply of Superiority

77% power on Illisi


30+ cleave on Empowered Heavy with Warp Splitting
Heh path is going to love this future psyker buff
It's also slightly better at everything compared to Slaughterer Uncanny
Except against carapace
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
i am beginning to think they write blessings incorrectly on purpose now
they just did
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
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!
"with all due respect, which is none"
Plasma is just a weird weapon
I know fatshark intentionally keep things vague to reduce min/maxing (lol) but it just gets silly at times
Ogryns crunch node still doesn't reflect what it does at all 
Plasma is the best wep
there's vague, and then there's lies
"up to 15% dama....."
10% damage
Stacks 4 times
and the penances too, deal 50 dmg to a monstrosity with brain burst
its SUPPOSED to be 50%, but, some dumbass forgot the % and its not been fixed for HOW long?
once more
what the actual fuck
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 
and, absolute minmaxers at that
Theyre still trying to find that %
Or people look up builds and copy those exclusivly because they haven't a clue 
The whole weapon is charge based
You can't use Charge because people will think it's about using M2
You know
Charging the weapon
Isn't Powersword P1 just power sword
yes, it might have been a placeholder text though
but maybe it's just a skin
I think power falchion model has been a thing for ages
With 2 names.... so yeah I see
Whats that
