ive seen someone with a trulevel 1000 die in sedition

to enemies

🚬

[zealous wing]

what enemies 😭

[pale prairie]

Somebody left their game running for a week

[zealous wing]

like i get having a bad day but sedition!?

[upper sun]

someone called em out in vc and he left

[zealous wing]

i have to do some real stupid shit to go down in MALICE

[pale prairie]

They were playing with a Nintendo controller don’t flame

[zealous wing]

lmao

[modest perch]

sry that was me

[strong gulch]

Was it me?

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/i-am-spartacus-its-me-crowd-stand-up-gif-16262914

[strong gulch]

All of my psykers.

[pale prairie]

All unique and yet all same

[strong gulch]

Like my palette of over 100 green eyeshadows.

Or the purple one.

[pale prairie]

Wait a minute…green and purple?!?

NURGLE AND SLAANESH

[strong gulch]

Oh you right.

[pale prairie]

I DONT WANT YOUR DADS GIFTS

[thorn cedar]

[radiant frigate]

BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR
SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE

or so i was told

[pale prairie]

Typical zealot player

All shouting no substance

[fresh reef]

I watched a level 140 true survivor light spam a scab rager to death

With a DS5

Piss toughness is a plague upon this entire playerbase

[cosmic cobalt]

it just gunner being overtuned

plus havoc stat reduction mean piss toughness is pretty much mandatory

since it isn't affected

[verbal thistle]

gunners when sliding exists

[cosmic cobalt]

clueless smyker:

evil and intimidating gunner

[long saddle]

any specific perks for fire trauma? I got cc and carapace atm

[ripe obsidian]

Me? A Zealot? I am a poor, squishy Psyker. Skulls for the voices in my head, blood for my Beloved.

[thorn cedar]

Enemy gunners should also be allowed to slide

[ripe obsidian]

?

Toughness is affected.

[cosmic cobalt]

piss toughness is flat and isn't affected

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, gold toughness. I missed that

I just got off work. My brain is boiled from walking home in the stupid Texas heat

[marble crater]

Texas heat sounds like it sucks a lot

[ripe obsidian]

Texas everything sucks a lot. Except maybe BBQ

[modest perch]

flak/crit

[long saddle]

ty

[ripe obsidian]

@pale prairie looks like, from testing, kill happens before Souldrinker does. Works how I thought.

[pale prairie]

Woof. Thank you good sir

[ripe obsidian]

Is a reason why it's only good on Trauma

Alas.

[pale prairie]

My hopium was building due to patch incoming

[marble crater]

Ah yes, the patch we know nothing about. It's the weekend and patch is on Tuesday

[strong gulch]

That's what you get for reading patch notes and other things.

[pale prairie]

It’s crazy the lack of communication.

[marble crater]

Hopefully that's because they are kind of in between CMs right now, hopefully, please

[fleet creek]

I finally got my psyker to level 30 yippie.

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-party-get-the-party-started-whoop-whoop-woot-woot-gif-13553754737456738195

Now you can finally play the class

[fleet creek]

What class should be next?

This was my first character.

[marble crater]

I would just play psyker for a while and then level another class later.
Maybe zealot though, it's more melee focused and will help you with playing all future classes by improving your melee skill

[fleet creek]

Ah ok.

[marble crater]

Enjoy max level psyker with maxed gear and a full talent tree

[strong gulch]

Psyker doesn't really come together as a class until basically mixed with decent gear.

But feel free to play whatever class.

[fleet creek]

Thank you.

[long saddle]

I have gotten it to work well now, it's very fun

[fleet creek]

Also is fire staff spam good?

[long saddle]

spamming reg attack is mostly for pushing back stuff

alt fire is what you wanna do for most of your dmg

but yes it's very good on high difficulties

[fleet creek]

Yay!

[marble crater]

The higher the difficulty, the better inferno will play and feel

[fleet creek]

Ooo.

[long saddle]

but like with all staves, you want them maxed out and with all the blessings and perks available

they're p mid while leveling

[fleet creek]

It is thankfully.

[pale prairie]

It’s crazy too cause there’s a patch the same day for another game I play and they did a livestream with devs and showcased changes then released the patch notes a week before release.

Then over here it’s just fucking smokescreen

But at least we have pet pictures

[marble crater]

[pale prairie]

I second doing zealot to lock in fundamentals. After that probably arbiter before they get nerfed hehehe

[zinc phoenix]

Lvl 30 is the end of the tutorial

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/endgame-now-gif-14938794

[sturdy reef]

shadow patch confirmed

no patch notes

[ionic sorrel]

What are these people up to?

[sturdy reef]

no patch notes because its an arby and ogryn nerf

[pale prairie]

Oh man I could see that being a reason

[wooden sand]

Veteran nerf

Stop coping

Dumbass

[sturdy reef]

psyker nerf

half dodge distance

https://tenor.com/bMYJ6.gif

[pale prairie]

damn veteran nerf? what no more plasma gun or power sword?

[sturdy reef]

no

u must use the rashad now

[pale prairie]

thats just an upgrade

[sturdy reef]

1 -> 2 light sprint cancels only

[pale prairie]

[pale prairie]

oh shit

[buoyant maple]

zealot or ogryn for melee basics
ogryn is much easier and overall stronger

[sturdy reef]

probably zealot so you dont get used to knocking around all the poxwalkers and groaners while dodging

[jovial juniper]

Probably Ogryn so you only know how to heavy attack

[cosmic cobalt]

light spam*

especially on the branx

[radiant frigate]

unga bunga

[cursive tiger]

With surge and blazing spirit on the same staff do you get 2 BS procs per crit m1???

[radiant frigate]

yes but that's not particularly effective

[median lava]

Fellow psykers, need an advice: with the voidstrike staff, does it make sense to invest into cleave increase?

[potent echo]

Like warp splitting?

[median lava]

exactly. I tested this in psykanium, but couldn't spot any significant difference, but perhaps I'm just dumb, who knows

[zealous wing]

i dont think it has cleave limit? i could be wrong though, i just know comparatively its the worst staff to use. fun? yes. good? technically, but just, of the four its the lowest

i also am not seeing any difference

and im testing it on a crowd of 50 poxwalkers

[zealous wing]

so it CAN be done in 6 minutes

specifically without going meta and having like, 4 stealth zealots with backstab maxed out

[marble crater]

But why?

[zealous wing]

why what

we just going fast idk

[marble crater]

I pray we don't get more missions like Rolling Steel

[wraith sphinx]

I hope we do

[zealous wing]

i want operations variety

[novel yoke]

lads, how do you do the "kill 40 enemies in one activation of scrier's gaze" penance?

cuz guns dont seem to cut it, and staffs obv aint the right choice

[marble crater]

Melee with By Crack of Bone

[solid pond]

greatsword my beloved

[marble crater]

and gun with Tranqulity Through Slaughter

[solid pond]

^^^

and just spray at a horde

[novel yoke]

really did not work for me, I'll see about the melee

god knows how many times I tried

[solid pond]

by crack of bone is super easy though, just pop on Scriers, distrupt destiny while using an FGS with unstable power and wrath? whatever their cleave thing is and just swing at head height

I can keep scriers running for ages with next to no effort

[marble crater]

Nowadays the biggest problem with that penance is your team

[solid pond]

and if you need a burst of kills you can do the charged FGS slash

[marble crater]

Maybe ask them to leave a thrash horde for you for a penance

[solid pond]

or do it solo

[novel yoke]

best I can do is like, maybe 35 seconds

probably just need to use the fgs yeah, Ive been avoididng it while using other weapons

[solid pond]

why

[novel yoke]

mastery

also variety is the spice of life

[solid pond]

nuh uh

killing heretics is the spice of life

[novel yoke]

Ive been using south africa mortis trials for when a penance needs a lot of kills

usually either find ppl also penance hunting and willing to wait, or just there outright being no one

[marble crater]

[novel yoke]

fair enough, thanks bro

[marble crater]

Wound curio?

[zealous wing]

no

this was during malice testing

its the same on auric though

[solid pond]

🫦

[marble crater]

Good, no ridicule today

[zealous wing]

though i did just have a funny idea. make another psyker, make them look as much of a zealot as fucking possible

including 3 wound curio

wont be anytime soon but perhaps when im bored and good at the game

[radiant frigate]

happiness is stored in the greatsword

[marble crater]

[novel yoke]

it really is, but I do want to try out every weapon at least once

I like to use build guides to make informed choices rather than sticking with them

[lean cedar]

Has anyone ever raked up all the M Seer voicelines that exist in the game and uploaded them somewhere?

[marble crater]

There is a channel or two on youtube that have a lot of voicelines, not sure about all though

[lean cedar]

🥲

Why do the names gotta be encrypted

and shuffled

[wraith sphinx]

I think Locken has the most comprehensive set of uploads, I recommend checking it out

[lean cedar]

Also trying to figure out an actual definitive answer to whether any of the character background options affect the dialogue in any way, apart from the selected voice.

[wraith sphinx]

I don't believe so, I think those are just... there

you pick them, you can review the paragraphs you get at the end of character creation process, then you never see or hear them again

not having your youtube links look like amazon webshop character barf is honestly already exciting enough

TIL because I don't even use share buttons, feels pointless when I can copy url bar

If the meta shifts to vet smoke instead of bubble I will be so happy

[jovial juniper]

It's going to be hard for that shift to happen

[zinc phoenix]

It’s true, people hate obvious upgrades and love shitty grenades

“Let the psyker do millions more damage with shriek or sg while the vet trades out a garbage nade for smoke? No, must have bleed nade and bubble”

[upper sun]

good

[upper sun]

chainsawman? really why should your mother watch it?

chainsawman has like a couple of plot lines and none of them a mother can relate to

[zinc phoenix]

Parents are watching what you ask them to because they want to be part of your life and understand the things you like, not because they’re super invested in the content.

So they don’t mind if they can’t relate to whatever

[upper sun]

friendship between shenji, power and aki
horney posting with makima
fun fight scenes

[zinc phoenix]

The point is being able to talk to their child about it

true but it would be better if they could find something they can both enjoy

[upper sun]

i like meal prepping with my mom tbh she doesnt mind the repeatitive tasks like chopping tons of veggies and i dont mind the labour intensive ones like scrubbing the hell out of a pan

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah the idea is to hook the kid early with small tasks and then when they’re older they do it with you and like it. Your mom couldn’t prevent your brain rot but she nailed that 😂

[upper sun]

🚬 yeah must be nice having a pre mobile phone brain

[jovial juniper]

[opaque tulip]

I’ve noticed that few people run dedicated melee builds on psyker

I only noticed this after I made a dedicated melee build centered around yo-yo’ing my peril and toughness with the greatsword

[candid temple]

There's limited reward, for extra risk, so it's not going to be super popular.

[zealous wing]

"limited reward"

pft

the only possible reward is winning

[jovial juniper]

The reality is that your average Psyker is ranged pilled

[opaque tulip]

I dunno, feels very rewarding to me. I’ve created a roided out psyker who specializes in crowd clear and can hold a horde off single-handedly. Until ragers or gunners show up XD

[zealous wing]

i can clear a horde even IF

[opaque tulip]

Then it’s all down hill

[zealous wing]

i can deal with bulwarks and crushers also

[candid temple]

[jovial juniper]

Weak Aura
1v15 those ragers

[zealous wing]

468 more reapers killed and all my bestiary stuff is done, on psyker

Hexis started playing last week by the way

it was not last week 😭

then i will have ALL of the free torso drip

[radiant frigate]

verynice

[zealous wing]

protect the fledglings (early havoc)

[royal totem]

how'd you stop the crusher out of overhead animation? sorry probs a dumb question

[zealous wing]

force sword and greatsword have a force push attack instead of the quick attack most weapons have, this staggers anything except monsters

its very handy for this, and opening bulwarks up for attack

i think this is the right bulwark clip?

[royal totem]

ah.......... i haven't been using the force swords

[zealous wing]

yeah its the only way to do so super quick/reliably i think, very handy to know you can do it if you start using them

like theres staves like the EK, or smite(slow), but this can be done really quick

[royal totem]

i've been......only using trauma staff with regrettably the dueling sword

[zealous wing]

oof

not a bad pairing though

at least you arent completely set up to fail

[strong gulch]

Both trauma and DS can stop a crusher overhead.

[zealous wing]

trauma needs the charge up time though, no?

havent used it in a while

[royal totem]

i don't actually have a problem stopping crusher overheads. just haven't seen it stopped using force swords before

[strong gulch]

Yes, but you don't need a full charge. I just woke up and brains are a bit scrambled.

[zealous wing]

i was never able to stop it fast enough with a stave so maybe just a skill issue on my end, to be completely fair

being able to throw ragers back though, is always satisfying. a "fuck you in particular" push is funny to me

also the range on it is glorious

[dusk timber]

replace "ragers" with "it"

[zealous wing]

https://tenor.com/view/paladin-throw-it-back-throw-it-back-paladin-paladin-throw-it-back-paladin-twerk-gif-25315175

Ah yes

The throw it back paladin

[modest perch]

freaktide

[zealous wing]

this is a game where m loner will talk to a fem zealot about a piercing in his member, it was always freaktide

[royal totem]

wait what?

i've never heard that interaction

[zealous wing]

its the scottish(irish? fuck if i know) fem zealot

not fanatic

[royal totem]

huh i see 😮

[zealous wing]

i cannae be certain

that one

let me see if i have it clipped

[royal totem]

i'm......h aving a lot of problems on psyker lately lol

[royal totem]

nod nod i do want to see

[zealous wing]

i do not have it clipped, surprisingly enough

but, i do remember almost all of it word for word

[dusk timber]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-memoji-gif-23490017

how many interactions do we even have that could be considered "flirting"

[zealous wing]

psyker: "Take my advice. If Melk offers you a little snack from under his desk? refuse."
zealot: "rejecting earthly favours? very wise."
psyker: "yes... and then there's the fact i found some kind of body piercing in mine. i intend to keep my veil of ignorance firmly in place."
zealot: "then there be hope for you yet."

something along those lines

[dusk timber]

oh shit

the snack was corpse starch

[zealous wing]

if it was corpse starch i dont think the psyker who later says melk has a business in it would hesitate to say so

idk it sounded way too innuendo for corpse starch to me

after all if it was a veil of ignorance, he wouldnt constantly talk about corpse starch?

[modest perch]

i like when they say "THE OGRRRYN HASH BEEN SHRRRUCK BY HOLY FERRRVORR"

[zealous wing]

i still love mloner calling mfanatic out on his bullshit

[swift eagle]

So I don't think I'm a good psyker, but I'm trying to learn more. Right now I'm thinking maybe I rely on my purgatus too much, and I'm thinking I should balance out more with melee, but I feel like melee is a struggle because of squishiness. I have a bubble build and a venting shriek build that follow meta builds in the pins for havoc. Anyone got extra trips?

[narrow herald]

Have you tried blocking?

[dusk timber]

also dodging

[narrow herald]

Also running

[royal totem]

uhhhhh there's no real such thing as relying on your staff too much unless you're not blocking/dodging etc

[dusk timber]

also evading taxes

[narrow herald]

Also not dying

[royal totem]

^^

[dusk timber]

tax evasion is prob the most important one

[royal totem]

my melee only comes out if i'm stabbing a mutant or hitting a boss.

[narrow herald]

Idk, I get bored of Psyker because like you really need to be trying to get yourself killed to die on that class 😭

[swift eagle]

I am doing a lot of dodging, but sometimes I worry I'm not doing enough if I'm swapping to melee a bunch to do a bunch of blocking and pushing, but I can try to integrate that more

[royal totem]

if you're using flamer then your main damage is from flaming and not melee. as far as i know. i'm not a super good psyker so i may be wrong and if i am plz correct me somebody

[cosmic cobalt]

bro probably watched tanner video and don't take kinetic deflection

also psyker don't pull out melee usually

[narrow herald]

Maybe this is just an issue of execution, because with kinetic deflection you can literally slither your way out of any situation

Purge staff is the king of horde killing

[cosmic cobalt]

unless youre being aggroed by boss

[swift eagle]

Maybe I'm not relying on Kinetic Deflection enough? I have the perk. But I guess I felt so squishy before that I'm not like relying on it enough

I can try that

And I try to just dodge out of situations

[royal totem]

also

your LMB (regular fire) on flame staff has high stagger

[cosmic cobalt]

blocking is for when you get jumped

[royal totem]

good for creating room or knocing back poxbursters

[cosmic cobalt]

purge staff have high stagger on m1

[royal totem]

i don't play flame staff though personally

[narrow herald]

Idk I would need to see how you play because I feel like this is hard to translate into text then

Usually when I play purge I put bubble down, sit inside it and cast right click onto the horde

If I see some ragers or a pox buster I spam click left

If I see something getting thru the horde like a crusher or a mutant I switch to melee and headshot them.

And I go back to blastin

[cosmic cobalt]

just leave crusher to your team

mutant yeah kill them if they're near

single untimely mutant can fuck up the run

cara just let your team handle it by handling horde

[ripe obsidian]

+10 points if you lure a crusher to your team and kill an ally with their overhead

[royal totem]

keep in mind, bubble is good but if you really need to step out of it to stay alive.......just step out.

+50 points if you kill 2 allies with the same overhead

actually now i have a question........are you actually supposed to spam left click for ragers? i thought you just keep releasing the charged fire and burn it all down

[swift eagle]

Aight. Gonna take some of this and try to put some of it into practice. I'm just coming back after like 2 year so have to get good again and all that.

[royal totem]

on the ocassion i do bring out flame staff i just try to burn everything down. even the buildings

[woeful sigil]

this build actually is extremely good with soulflame fgs and db shotgun/ revolver

hitting that true shot and having an enemy explode into flame, then slicing dd targets that are on fire for infinite flame with wildfire its pretty nasty

[cosmic cobalt]

gaze purge staff9

what

oh nvm im stupid

also the other side is better for disrupt destiny

[woeful sigil]

nah i'm at 25 stacks

[cosmic cobalt]

gl with stack when you only have 5s for each stack

[woeful sigil]

I'm pretty sure when a dd target dies while under soul blaze

it gives you the dd kill

cause I was easily at 25

[verbal thistle]

This is interesting, what's the reason for wildfire over PA

[prime elk]

BB gaze

[woeful sigil]

when a dd target is killed it spreads to other dd targets

meaning you get the proc

[ripe obsidian]

LMB if they're close and pressuring your team too much. RMB otherwise.

[royal totem]

ok yeah figured it's something like that

ty

[verbal thistle]

Using blazing on the sword?

[woeful sigil]

yep

[ripe obsidian]

FGS crits that kill the enemy don't proc souldrinker.

[woeful sigil]

you only need 1 soul drinker proc per 5 second

just for that crit buff

[swift eagle]

Thats a good question. What are the better melees on psyker? I think people use dueling sword mostly? Sometimes I've seen force swords or the force great sword.

[ripe obsidian]

If you're picking it solely for crit. But if that's the case, there are other, better nodes.

[woeful sigil]

I took all crit nodes

[verbal thistle]

All the psyker sword, knife, DS, tactical axes

[prime elk]

duelling sword, knife, fs, fgs, rashad

oh yes and taxes

[jovial juniper]

Any of the force swords
Dueling Sword
Knife
Tactical Axe

[ripe obsidian]

I don't just mean for crit. Souldrinker is a good node for some staves, just in a really bad position. It's a meh node for melee, imo, due to how it interacts with crit kills.

[woeful sigil]

some people think getting the 20% damage on shocked enemy with shock maul, and stacking it with smites 10% damage boost on eletrified enemy, and electrified heavy attack is good. But I didn't like it tbh

[prime elk]

that's just a meme

[woeful sigil]

althought my soulblaze fgs is great for disrupt destiny, I honestly think I enjoy just having my empower psionics assail build

despite it being weaker

[ripe obsidian]

DS, FGS, Deimos and Obscurus, sometimes knife

[swift eagle]

Hmm. If I'm using my sword for mostly blocking and killing muties... Would this be something good to run on it?

[verbal thistle]

Precog and deflector, plus stam and maniac

[upper sun]

as it stands its good

unless you want a DEIMOS OF DEFENCE

[swift eagle]

And I'm guessing that would be with precog, deflector, stam, and maniac?

[upper sun]

stamina block efficiency deflector and precog/uncanny

block efficen is very meme i dont recommend it

[swift eagle]

Do people using venting shriek for auric to havoc 40 content or is it just better to use bubble? Or is shriek something I can get good enough to use later?

[zealous wing]

all three are viable depending on playstyle

bubble tends to be favoured by randoms, because getting fucked by a gunner horde is not great

but i am fairly certain you can make anything work if you practice

as far as auric, literally anything can work pretty easy regardless of team construction, havoc 40 though is a bit more... troublesome

[swift eagle]

So starting off probably a good idea to just run bubble since my entire crew is new to havoc

[long saddle]

I wouldn't start getting in to high havoc with shriek ye

[zealous wing]

early havoc is easy

[long saddle]

early you can run whatever really

[swift eagle]

When would you say high havoc starts about? What level?

[zealous wing]

during the grind im doing now havoc 11 went by easy with just me on scriers gaze and someone else who's really new

havoc 31 is definitely high havoc

[long saddle]

20 and 30 are usually the big jump points in difficulty

[zealous wing]

havoc 1-10 are malice, 11-20 are heresy, 21-30 are damnation, 31-40 are auric, just for a difficulty gauge purpose

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean until like 20 something you're on below auric

[zealous wing]

when in doubt, ask ainz. solo h40.

[royal totem]

At one point in havoc there's a modifier called Emperor's fading Light

Then there's II

[radiant frigate]

if you just want the crit buff, just pick a crit blessing instead? idk

[woeful sigil]

why is everyone against stacking crit chance

thats where my soulflame comes from

[verbal thistle]

PC alone probably does 10x what blazing does on the FGS

[radiant frigate]

^

blazing spirit on anything other than trauma staff is a bait blessing

[radiant frigate]

if you look closely you will actually find that what i said is "use shred or riposte instead", both of which are more than 5% crit

[woeful sigil]

I have shred

[radiant frigate]

cool! now add riposte

or unstable power

or deflector

basically literally anything except blazing spirit

[bronze hound]

What melee weapon do you recommend to pair with inferno?

[jovial juniper]

Dueling Sword
Knife
Obscurus
Deimos

[bronze hound]

Will stick yo Obscurus and deimos, anyone in particular?

[jovial juniper]

Obscurus is faster at killing single targets
Deimos is safer, because IF the target survives the heavy stab, it gets sent to the ground

[woeful sigil]

hmm 46.5% strength

from weapons alone

[zealous wing]

well its when the weapon is active

not passive

[woeful sigil]

damn really

[zealous wing]

... yeah?

[woeful sigil]

I know for unstable power it is

but for deathspitter can't you quick swap

or full bore

[bronze hound]

May I ask you another fast question about curios?

x2 toughness and 1 stam is what I'm running.

Perks are gunner resistance as default, but what else should I go for?

[zealous wing]

i run 2x 17t 1x 21hp, with +5hp and +5t on all three, +4% ability CDR on 2, and sniper resist on one for testing purposes, seems to be going well

if your ability is shriek, CDR is great, but not necessary since you should have PA

i personally find gunner resist a losing battle, because of deflector/kinetic deflection, so i cant speak if its wise or not, depends what blessings you go with on your weapon

but, if you stick with it, the extra hp and extra toughness for sure

[bronze hound]

Bubble it is

[zealous wing]

what blitz?

[bronze hound]

burst

[bright summit]

If you're on bubble curios doesn't matter you can just turtle

If not run 1-2 stam curios

[verbal thistle]

why be so reliant on bubble?

[bright summit]

x2 5% toughness x1 gunner resist, x3 stam regen, x3 cdr

That's what I have

[bright summit]

You don't have to but bubble let's you get away with a lot of other curios choices imo

I run the exact same setup with bubble I can't be bothered to switch lol

[verbal thistle]

thats a good point

fair

[bright summit]

And like most people don't play bubble super aggressively they just push up clear everything and then push so it ultimately don't matter that much

I'm still building my psyker

[pale prairie]

I oh I just wanted to spread the gambling despair

[marble crater]

Still weird that they didn't rework curios together with crafting

[verbal thistle]

they forgor

[marble crater]

Why do we have to gamble for 21% instead of just upgrading a 14% one

[strong gulch]

Let us just buy +1 stams.

😭

[rugged cairn]

@zealous wing Once I got pushed out of the regular game map

[zealous wing]

random aside, anyone else like to play chicken with the hounds?

like if its serious i take it seriously but, when everything's going fine i'll just see if i can time the strike before they get me

in this one, i chickened, because i felt i started the heavy too soon

[rugged cairn]

Oh no, just straight through solid wall on the ceiling

[zealous wing]

well if you went straight through it wasnt solid was it

[rugged cairn]

Just a matter of physics :^)

[pale prairie]

yeah i do this whenever they are too far away to walk up and puush then kill. saves time. haven't figured out timing for this as ogryn which has been embarassing a few times

[jovial juniper]

I do with snipers

[pale prairie]

truly a liability

And yet Day was when it was needed most

[pale prairie]

I thought americans have costco

[bitter cape]

i still need to assist havocs. I can run thru w/ u if u want

[zealous wing]

[marble crater]

30€ worth, so not too much

[strong gulch]

smart tbh

[upper sun]

speaking of clips

[zealous wing]

im scrier gunker

[upper sun]

night cap soon?

[marble crater]

Didn't the BL4 devs say that people should restart their game every hour or so to fix the crashing? So do that

[royal totem]

i assume you guys have all 4 now. haven't kept up with chat

[upper sun]

no one has stagger tho 😭

[zealous wing]

we do, but if one swaps out you can absolutely join

[upper sun]

boss stagger?

[zealous wing]

why stagger

[royal totem]

if you need. if not it's no worries 🙂

[upper sun]

just wait until the 23rd fatshark will make shriek stagger bosses

[upper sun]

1-2 silo cluster with 30 seconds left

this is gonna be bad

[marble crater]

You won't make it to the first med station without 2 people going down

[upper sun]

yea

ill be back here begging for backup

[royal totem]

i thought you can't join a mission no longer on the board

[marble crater]

Either he will ask for backup for another mission or people can join because they have him on the friend list I guess

[royal totem]

huh didn't know you can join from friend list

if it's not on board

[upper sun]

failed a jump and died

we wiped

[marble crater]

[strong gulch]

lmao

[pale prairie]

ooooof

yay

congrats

[pale prairie]

just a portent of doom over here

[zealous wing]

thank you 🧡

[marble crater]

It was 1-2 Silo Cluster with randoms

[pale prairie]

Hah you think I have map names memorized?

Your memory

[zealous wing]

idk thats about the same rate of me learning the names

but i DO have iffy memory. sometimes its perfect, but others its terrible (AuDHD) so it really doesnt mean much

you say silo cluster and i dont have a clue

i see the beginning and im lost

[zealous wing]

i see that fucking doorway of numerous deaths... i remember

[marble crater]

Surely you know Hab Dreyko

[fiery stratus]

[royal totem]

it's especially difficult when people won't keep things off you while you're doing it

[fiery stratus]

Hab dreyko isn't bad to put a med pack on the tree for the finale

[strong gulch]

I still think of the old hab dreyko ending. One day I'll remember the tree.

[marble crater]

I sometimes miss old Dreyko, then I remember I play with random and glad it's gone

[modest perch]

oh man old hab dreyko used to suck ass

its a miracle pubs ever managed to complete it

[fiery stratus]

Yeah, its a lot better now. For the most part I like the changes they've to the different maps

Probably more to come i assume

[marble crater]

They will add clowns to the carnival maps

[modest perch]

i encounter clowns on every map

[marble crater]

Your teammates?

[zinc phoenix]

At least they added the tree. Before it was just a big empty space and you had to run around auspexing things 😂

[pale prairie]

I was there. I was trying to forget those days….

[zealous wing]

idk maybe im just weird but, i dont mind the tree minigame

i do wish there was a noticable pattern to it instead of just luck (or mods)

but it is the same even if you get jolted out so its doable (though i like rolling steels more, it saves progress)

[thorn cedar]

tree is good, much prefer it

[zealous wing]

trying to solo normal data interrogations (meaning the team is off doing fuck all else and not covering me) was pretty much impossible, and i think they got mad and came over and did it themselves (i did not cover them but they got lucky with a quick one instead of the bullshit wait the entire line ones)

[thorn cedar]

you could legit get stuck at the end of dreyko for five minutes or more because people wouldnt take their own auspex out to see where the scannables were so you'd be trying to scan them and fighting off an endless horde at the same time

[royal totem]

urgh sounds terrible

[zealous wing]

even now people dont do that at for example the fuckin whats it called in the torrent

[thorn cedar]

tree means everyone knows where they need to be, and while the progress doesnt save, you can still complete it piecemeal since the answer is predetermined

[zealous wing]

not the bridge fight but when you go the other way for the espionage

yeah the normal data interrogations are just the only "cant do this by yourself at ALL if theres enemies around", unless you get both lucky and an opening

well and transporting shit like power cells and whatnot would also be a huge pain

[royal totem]

idk, i always play auspex lol

[zealous wing]

i've gotten really good at it

[royal totem]

i mean.....i don't ever assume other people will do it

[zealous wing]

like i know theres a mod for it, to show you them already highlighted, but i genuinely dont need it at this point

i get competitive with it

[royal totem]

in any given location, there's a finite number of things that could be scannable so as long as you memorize it and look at roughly where the auspex is pinging.... it's nbd

[zealous wing]

i dont care if someones walking towards it already with the auspex out im scanning that bitch first 😂

[royal totem]

sometimes i do play the role of keep the spawns off the people scanning. which i'm fine with doing too

[zealous wing]

i have a really good sense of direction/location memorisation, so this came pretty quickly

[royal totem]

yeah. i've memorized most of them.

i don't do Archivum Sycorax or Hab Dreyko much though

i've only been playing 1.5 months or something so not too long

[zealous wing]

about the same for me

[royal totem]

i'm not counting my first two weeks cuz the game kept crashing

to be clear, that was not the game's fault the first two weeks

[zealous wing]

i played for a week or two sometime before arby, then came back recently (a month)

(by played 2 weeks i mean sedition vet gameplay) so skill-increasing

[royal totem]

i had just gotten my computer built and it turns out i got a bad CPU so it just crashed a lot.

[zealous wing]

oof, glad you got it figured out at least

[royal totem]

i play....every class except veteran

[zealous wing]

i play every class except non-psyker ones

[royal totem]

LMAO

i've been playing psyker the most for the past 2 weeks or so

[zealous wing]

let me grab a truelevel screenshot to show how much i played the other classes

[royal totem]

damn

i don't think my true level would be close to yours added up

[thorn cedar]

rookie numbers

[zealous wing]

legitimately

i've played a month

[thorn cedar]

you havent made it til you go to bed dreaming about the devil claw's moveset

[zealous wing]

i dreamed about inferno staff being replaced with frost and was very stressed

like i woke up genuinely upset

[royal totem]

i'm one of the filthy psykers that doesn't use inferno staff

[zealous wing]

I DONT USE INFERNO MUCH 😭

i've used it for like, 4 matches

[modest perch]

i use trauma but only with scriers

[thorn cedar]

hell yea

[royal totem]

i do trauma+shield >.<

[zealous wing]

my favourite staff is the kind that make chunks of metal rip heretics apart

[marble crater]

a week*

[zealous wing]

sibling

if i did this in a week i need serious analysis

[marble crater]

That's what makes it so impressive

[zealous wing]

😭

im literally like the younger sibling

always the baby until another comes along

[marble crater]

I remember it like it was yesterday, when you played your first auric mission with dom, who is missing now for some reason

[thorn cedar]

i tried to warn him

i told dom that jumping off that cliff into the ocean would be a bad idea

[marble crater]

[thorn cedar]

then again he did flip me off while he swam away so

[pale prairie]

Yeah Sin has been gone too which is weird

[royal totem]

i have ......half the playtime compared to you lmao

[marble crater]

Sin was gone, came back to shittalk and then left again

[zealous wing]

to be fair a lot of it is me being afk in the menu or psykanium probably

sometimes i get up for a break, see the bed, and forget the world

[royal totem]

Bed is the true boss that's too hard to beat

[steady yarrow]

What do you guys think the best blitz is for the empowered psionics penance?

does the proc from brain burst count towards it?

[azure sun]

I have kind of wondered if Smite could be used with Empowered Psionics for competent damage. I used to run it before on lower levels, but not anymore.

Since it's generally just a utility tool

[proper osprey]

It’s more work and less damage than to just build inferno staff

[narrow herald]

Smite focus build is great into heavy poxburster or mutant Maels

[proper osprey]

Or dogs

[jovial juniper]

Smite

[proper osprey]

But that’s like the only use for smite

[narrow herald]

Nah, dogs can be CCed by literally anything

[proper osprey]

And bulwark spam

[proper osprey]

I mean yeah

[narrow herald]

If it's a dog mael

That's free win 😈

[proper osprey]

You’re expecting people to push

That’s too advanced

[narrow herald]

Fuck Tru

[zinc phoenix]

Idk what that is but ep assail is tons of fun

SG with it is great, two thumbs

[proper osprey]

The only time I use EP is with bb

Was my first psyker build

[zinc phoenix]

It’s very fun shredding entire massive blobs of elites with ep assail, I’ve done some solid havocs with it

Just endless shards with sg up

[modest perch]

yea can do silly stuff with ep bb but u have to actually be good

[modest perch]

ep smite was a thing for a while but u dont see it much these days

[zinc phoenix]

The downside of ep assail is your shards get eaten by carapace and there’s a lot of carapace mixed into havoc hordes

[modest perch]

yeaj

[strong gulch]

If you mean the one that you have to kill elites or specials with EP stacks and blitz, then the easiest way is to have smite and EP but never use your blitz. Instead you kill with EK RMB. That doesn't consume your EP stacks but counts towards the penance. So every elite you kill with EK RMB counts because you never use your blitz so EP stacks are always up.

[steady yarrow]

nice, i'll give that a shot. I hate playing EP but it's my last penance.

[modest perch]

just smitebot with shriek for seethe generation purposes

[prime elk]

i'm on board with that

just don't do it in my games 👍

[modest perch]

i had a rly high lvl smitebot in my game the other day

was weird to see cus the guy clearly knew what he was doing. like he wasnt just crutching it yknow ?

i was on bomber vet so i just chucked grenades into the smited (smote ? smitten ?) hordes

🚬 its my fault

i didnt post enough clips of me getting downed

[marble crater]

That's because you don't go down enough

[upper sun]

not tru i died twice yesterday

[mental kayak]

good morning

i have questions again.

[upper sun]

hi ask away

[mental kayak]

umh

i was looking to many different builds / guides to compare

and everyone keeps doing different thing..

i see people do 3 curios

some do 3 hp, some do 3 though

i want to make curios for havoc

is it better to get 3 curios with thoughness and get % ability red + 2 gunner resistance

i also have block efficiency for the sword + peril stacking block

or is it better to run HP?

[upper sun]

gunner resist doesnt do much in havoc with it and without it if you get caught out you die

[patent parcel]

Does anyone know, if Kinetic Flayer and Empowered Psionics work together? I have the suspicion they don't, but I'm not sure

kinetic flayer, no, but the brain burst does

and it does work nicely if you gotta clear a room of gunners (infinite free fast strong head pops) (until the room is clear)

[patent parcel]

Yeah I'm in the process of redoing my build, Combo of Soulblaze and Stunning with the Electrokinetic Staff.

[zealous wing]

you'd probably want warp siphon then instead of EP

if youre using shriek also

ability cooldown on types of kills vs a free head pop or 3 that you'll barely use compared to the EK staff

[patent parcel]

Yeah I'm building in that direction currently, but with the Shield and Bolstered Shield instead

[zinc phoenix]

The pins have our standard builds if you are interested #psyker-class message

[patent parcel]

Yeah, no offense, I'm not the guy who just copies other people's builds, no matter how good they are, I like to experiment myself 🙂

[marble crater]

In that case read the pinned guides, because some of the talents do more than they say or don't work the way you think

[zealous wing]

yeah some outright lie

(thats what got me)

[patent parcel]

What do you mean?

[marble crater]

Fatshark is not the best at accurate descriptions and tool tips

[zealous wing]

the most egregious is a blessing,

(stacks 5 times)

5% per 20 peril

25% * peril gained

[patent parcel]

Huh... and I thought that perk is straight up useless, because 5% on 80-100% peril doesn't sound much

[zealous wing]

EXACTLY what i had thought!

i started out with a very poor build, Dom gave me a couple to try out, and now i know what a awesome build behaves like, i can compare it to my own build that im using now.

basically once you try out a meta build, closer to your playstyle, you'll be able to feel if you're performing well more accurately, whereas before, i felt i was performing well with my build simply because i didnt die, but that wasnt the build helping me perform it was my movement

i wasnt actually doing much

not saying your build will be as bad as mine was, but, just in general

[patent parcel]

Rats are helpers of Nurgle and need to be exterminated

[patent parcel]

Yeah I don't really look at meta builds at all, as said, I just try to come up with builds on my own that give me weapons to deal with as many situation as possible popping up in Auric and Above. My "dreaded" encounters in that sense are Mauler/Crusher Spams and that while you're dealing with a horde surrounding you.

Hence I want to try out a mix of Great Sword, EK Staff with Soulblaze on it.

I'll take this build for a spin now, may the Emperor Protect my comrades as unwilling test partners lol:

[deft stump]

I mean, I still play my nub build and throw shards everywhere.

[marble crater]

You can carry with any build, it's not the same

[patent steeple]

and fatshark claimed their blessing and talent descriptions now pull values straight from the code, while tihs particular talent still gives up to 10% more peril than it says it would...

also, btw, I think Crucian Roulette > Surgical on Zarona revolver, because psyker gets so much crit chance plus the fact Surety of Arms lets me quickly reload 2-3 bullets during SG, and still benefit from Crucian stacks... (the problem with agri revolver is that I need to spam it to get the bonus crit chance from Crucian, which potentially wastes ammo)

[patent parcel]

Only 2 deaths, of which one was mine, but I think due to team misplacement and not necessarily the build itself. And it was satisfying to see the soulblaze wave raging in the end phase, when we were slaughtering mobs left, right and center 😄

Man I hope so much for a Tech Priest Class in the future. I'd savor the dialogues between Hadron and that Tech Priest Character, I like her so much with her dry, condescending descriptions of situations and missions

[zealous wing]

main thing is like, what would a tech priest class even DO

[radiant frigate]

battle servitor herding? idk

(i do not like summoner/pet classes)

[zealous wing]

like, the arby is just a mash between an ogryn and a vet

(roughly)

[marble crater]

Often they are annoying because of micro managing

[radiant frigate]

i think i would recommend changing just about everything here but enjoy your experimentation

[zealous wing]

the main thing we'd want from a class is something that would fill a role people struggle to fill with any other class... arby was not it

[radiant frigate]

buildcraft is always fun

arby was wholly unnecessary

[zealous wing]

it really was

[radiant frigate]

colossal waste of alix wilton regan

[zealous wing]

crowd control? psyker, ogryn, zealot.
specialist targeting? vet, zealot, psyker
boss damage? vet, ogryn, zealot, psyker (gunker specifically)
whats even missing

[radiant frigate]

dog

[zealous wing]

the dog literally does what a psyker bb would do faster

[radiant frigate]

the dog is also insurance vs other dogs

[zealous wing]

that is true

[radiant frigate]

and can solokill a boss with zero further input beyond double tag

[long saddle]

vet was really the only specialist targeting before arby

[zealous wing]

the vet ability to mark them is really nice

[radiant frigate]

really? cause i feel everyone except ogryn was good at that

[long saddle]

but maybe i'm havoc brained

[zealous wing]

i LOVE going after gunners

snipers, as well

snipers let me play "can i kill it before it kills a teammate"

besides, to be honest, ogryn rock is GREAT for specialistr targeting also

i love watching the gunner im going towards get yeeted backwards like 10 meters doing a backflip

funniest shit

[radiant frigate]

while i think making new classes is cool

i also think FS is close to or has run out of design space there

perhaps better received to keep tweaking what you have

but also tweaks don't make money

new dlc class does

[zealous wing]

it really shouldn't have been DLC

especially with it as broken as it is

[radiant frigate]

hello grail knight

hello sister of the thorn

[zealous wing]

i've heard they dont even plan to add more classes

so they made the final class a paid one thats broken as all hell

i REALLY hope they fix arby before they fix vet (sorry vet, but not sorry)

its detrimental to squadmates, and the player, unless you're already good and have good habits

[radiant frigate]

if i had a dollar for every time fatshark added a class that made me stop playing, i would have two dollars

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

and incidentally both times some type of pet class

[zealous wing]

thats another thing... why would they add a class thats main deal is the dog, and then give a skill to not have the dog

[radiant frigate]

so you can play new class even if you do not want to have dog

[zealous wing]

i am fairly sure they KNOW what the fuck they were doing making it overpowered

[radiant frigate]

unfortunate that dog is so bonkers powerful that going without it is just gimping yourself

i LOVE complaining

it's one of my favorite things to do

[zealous wing]

its great isnt it :D

[radiant frigate]

if only everyone else would realize that my vision is the only true vision

[wraith sphinx]

Complaining is a time honored european tradition

The closer to south you live the more venerated it is

[zealous wing]

im still sure their plan was/is:
make overpowered as hell class
sell for profit
wait for sales to slow down enough
sell cosmetics
nerf
sell more cosmetics for other classes (good cosmetics, get people to actually come back)
everything goes back to normal

[wraith sphinx]

Siblings I'll be honest

I don't think fatshark has that dog in them anymore

[zealous wing]

yeah its in the game now

[wraith sphinx]

Last year's update release cycle and its contents makes me feel there is something wrong within the company

[novel yoke]

bros, whats the strat for pick and mix, because I cant remember the last time I saw 4 different specials all within 12 seconds

[zealous wing]

find a room with a rager, shotgunner, gunner, mauler, whatever

[wraith sphinx]

Just keep playing on damnation or auric and you will get the penance

[zealous wing]

i got it on the same heresy i did MM on

[novel yoke]

Ive been spamming damnation stg 😭

[zealous wing]

what region are you?
