[strong gulch]

I forgor. In bed. It otherwise functions the same iirc. Could be wrong. Am in bed so can't check.

[wind spruce]

does not staack

[loud girder]

Ogryn rework is free and as op, also came before arbi.

[summer prairie]

it doesn't stack but you get 15% vs 5% and the crit can be refreshed, it's better

[still valve]

Yeah wait what thats a massive nerf then

[visual osprey]

I feel it should be self-explanatory at that point, the players are goaded into buying a class because it's blatantly more powerful than the original four and can easily do what they do, potentially better. The class is gated behind a 12 usd payment.

[still valve]

Yeah but the 5% is instant

so killing several enemys gives you way more then right?

[wind spruce]

thats just an incentive. its not at all predatory marketing.

[loud girder]

Also first dlc in 3 years for a game where content is free isn't "whaling"

[plucky flax]

You know arby never did more damage than psyker. Was a lot tankier last patch though.

[summer prairie]

sure, when you kill hordes the old one was a bit better but you gain too much toughness when you do anyway

[visual osprey]

When it directly affects the balance of the game on a fundamental level, it's predatory marketing.

[loud girder]

• vt2 had paid classes. Nothing new.

[visual osprey]

they weren't twelve dollars each

[still valve]

fully generating toughness vs 15% over a few seconds is still a massive nerf

when are you ever killing one guy over 5 seconds

[summer prairie]

arbi did more damage than a psyker if the whole team was good and there wasn't healing

[ornate hamlet]

ayo did they nerf arby

[wind spruce]

no, its not. you could argue that its unethical to do to the current existing playerbase using the other classes, but its not predatory marketing.

[loud girder]

12 bucks for a class that's basically 3 careers from vt2. It's the same thing.

[loud girder]

Minor nerfs

[wind spruce]

is it also predatory marketing if a new cologne smells better than any previous cologne? lol

[ornate hamlet]

mildly based

[visual osprey]

weird comparison that I don't believe makes any sense but i digress

[steel flame]

how dare you sell something new, TECH HERESY

[visual osprey]

you're allowed to disagree, I believe it's predatory marketing and you don't

[summer prairie]

arbi was mostly play tester designed

[wind spruce]

you've failed to say how its predatory. no one is being tricked, deceived, mislead, etc

[loud girder]

Predatory marketing is asking money for content that took a lot of effort to be made and is literally not more op than a free rework yeah alright

[proper osprey]

holy carry

[steel flame]

in other news, god it is silly that soulblaze can trigger kinetic flayer

i can snipe snipers with venting shriek

[strong gulch]

If they were working on buffs or class reworks in tandem with arby (which they were), idk why they would release it weaker than the projected state of the game.

I agree that it's op (on launch was so silly).

[steel flame]

walls cant hide you anymore, MY MIND POWERS TRANSCEND ALL BARRIERS

[subtle temple]

I like this class gimme build recommendations

[summer prairie]

shriek kills snipers anyway

[wind spruce]

select any talents at random

equip good weapon

profit

[steel flame]

yeah but now i can blow their brains out and then burn them to ash

[proper osprey]

im soyking it

ohhhhhh

just a dream melee soyker

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-cat-cat-vro-cat-gif-17161343143756375842

[steel flame]

if you want one of those, i can provide

its glorious 😛

[gray juniper]

It’s good on trauma and flamer stick

[plucky flax]

No I heard it's bad and impossible to play.

Oh wait that was last patch I have not played this patch.

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

[cosmic cobalt]

literally almost the same

[cosmic cobalt]

idk how psyker was unplayable

[subtle temple]

I like this class because it’s fun

[proper osprey]

needs keystones

[steel flame]

ha

[cosmic cobalt]

gun psyker is arguably worse cause mettle nerf but you get pa in return

[steel flame]

no it does not

[proper osprey]

[subtle temple]

I get to do weird shit

[steel flame]

keystones are overrated

i love confusing people

[plucky flax]

Just too squishy died to 1 hit and did no damage

[cosmic cobalt]

fym did no damage

[plucky flax]

[cosmic cobalt]

alao squishy?

[steel flame]

LOL

[plucky flax]

From my observation.

[steel flame]

god that clip is gold

[plucky flax]

Pls no flame

[plucky flax]

I stole it from some unsanctioned noob

[cosmic cobalt]

that just bad situational awareness 😭

[proper osprey]

this is so sad can we buff crushers

[steel flame]

BONK

Desposito, buff crushers please

[summer prairie]

need a bigger font size for cleave!! and maybe make it blink

[plucky flax]

see the mistake was that he bobbed when he should have weaved

[ornate hamlet]

[loud girder]

Dies of death

[steel flame]

MY PEOPLE NEED ME

AWAY

sigh, zazy is stuck in 20s purgatory after letting his rank decay all the way to 2,

at least ive found my funny build for havoc now

[gray juniper]

Welcome to psych club. If it’s your first night, you have to play with an old tree

[steel flame]

you see some wierd shit down there

[steel flame]

i saw a vet with 6 wounds

he burned through every single one of them 3 times

[gray juniper]

If you’re wondering why it’s 22 points, don’t wonder

Jokes aside I tried just a dream and it feels too hectic without ER. It’s not for me

[steel flame]

god i love dream it feels incredible on fire gs

[tiny cove]

Tempted to try out a staff on my melee psyker, going with Kinetic Flayer instead of assail. Whats the Pro/Con for Void Blast vs EK staff for LMB focused builds?

Seems like EK has a bit more utility on its right click compared to VB?

[steel flame]

ek has a better m1

[tiny cove]

Oh Ek gets crit bonus as well, that probably clears

[steel flame]

its the same for both

[tiny cove]

yeah

[steel flame]

but ek gets increased crit damage and chance and it applies to the m1

[tiny cove]

yeye makes sense

[steel flame]

otherwise the m1 is the exact same for trauma, void and electro

[pale prairie]

alright I have gotten used to them somewhat

bet in bigger packs they will be worse though

[tiny cove]

Fuck I'm broke again

[steel flame]

welcome to psyker life

or so im told

[pale prairie]

pfff i am not broke

[steel flame]

some of us come from old money

back in the good ole days before crafting

[pale prairie]

not the crazy 25 million guys but I have a lot of mats

[tiny cove]

Time to put on Ordo Docket curious again

I just shouldn't take them off lol

[bright summit]

Its just 21% extra crit chance the damage is the same iirc

[steel flame]

sorry, yeah just crit chance

we got such lame m1s for our staves compared to sienna

[bright summit]

M1 EK m2s a lot more than you think

[steel flame]

sienna gets shotguns and machineguns and kungfu fists

[pale prairie]

She also doesn’t get a toughness bar

[steel flame]

all we get is BALL

not even big ball

tiny ball

[pale prairie]

Eh the tiny ball is broken as fuck

[steel flame]

not as broken as it once was XP

rip quell cancel

[bright summit]

Nah currently patch ek is very overpowered

[pale prairie]

Swap cancel is faster

[steel flame]

ruined before its time by macro users

[steel flame]

it also causes brain and finger damage, no thanks

[pale prairie]

Agreed. I did some havoc 40s with it before the nerf to quell cancel and then called it good for me as far as animation canceling

[steel flame]

i could make it work but im not willing to do the rebinds required to do it without wanting to kill myself

[patent jacinth]

QQ is cringe

[pale prairie]

True but it exists

[patent jacinth]

Unconditionally

For every application

[pale prairie]

Tell me how you really feel

[steel flame]

i have never trusted q swapping in any fatshark game

that shit is cursed to never work in your time of need

[gray juniper]

I’m an ordo millionaire

[bright summit]

Guarantee weapon swap <3

[gray juniper]

Buts a little plasteel thousandaire

[pale prairie]

Hah peasant

[gray juniper]

Absolute poverty house

I did it tho. I made a non-scriers EK that slaps

[steel flame]

Alright you poors, I'm going to bed, try not stink up the place with your destitution please

[gray juniper]

My unwashed feet already have

[pale prairie]

EXCUSE ME SIR YOU LEFT YOUR DISDAIN BEHIND

[stone totem]

Any brain rupture copers here got the scoop on if it's actually good now

[pale prairie]

PICS?

[quartz barn]

Imagine thinking it was bad before

[stone totem]

Forcing you to pick one keystone out of three for it to be usable is kinda bad

[wind spruce]

its been good for ages... you just dont actually use it outside of kinetic flayer procs

[stone totem]

It worked, but it definitely was restrictive and didn't feel good

[pale prairie]

Brain rupture was good and is better. KF procs more often, doesn’t hit bursters, and the whole thing does multiplicative damage rather than additive

[pale prairie]

You kidding? There’s a Duo havoc 40 run by Ainz with EP BB

[steel flame]

Soul blaze can proc kf now, it's hilarious

[pale prairie]

It was just fine. People just didn’t use it

[pale prairie]

Yes why wildfire was argued over. Could trigger KF into the next room over

[quartz barn]

Even without ep its solid, just not something you avtively use

[gray juniper]

You know you gotta pay up 🤌

[wind spruce]

just bc Ainz shreds with something doesnt make it good

Ainz is Ainz

[pale prairie]

I’ll give you plasteel

[quartz barn]

But lets be honest you never use bb as a main source of dmg, even back on release

[steel flame]

And then kf proc perilous combustion in another room xP

[pale prairie]

That’s more proof of concept. It was still good

[pale prairie]

Dead snipers and bombers you never even saw

[quartz barn]

Its a waste on snipers if this happens

[gray juniper]

I can’t 100% verify it but i believe it did before

[steel flame]

It does

[quartz barn]

Because wildfire kills snipers on its own

[stone totem]

You never should, but IIRC it missed one shots without EP which to me is a waste of time

[gray juniper]

I’m not desperate 💅

[pale prairie]

Sure but it still happened

[stone totem]

Not as bad as missing thammer one shots but still

[pale prairie]

Like I didn’t actively tell my randomly procing KF to go do that bruh

[quartz barn]

Doesnt matter if you mix it with a soulblaze setup

[steel flame]

I can 100% confirm. Even force sword force push can proc it now

[stone totem]

Everything always leads back to soulblaze

God I hate soulblaze, wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so ugly

And obscuring

[cosmic cobalt]

soulglaze

[quartz barn]

It did this before as well

[cosmic cobalt]

also there mod for that

[pale prairie]

It always did which is why people didn’t like KF sometimes proccing bomber pushes and killing people

[gray juniper]

Yea but it’s legit good on its own. It got a damage boost so it works better with EP. It works fairly good without

[tiny cove]

I just fought leonidas

[gray juniper]

It also did that before. I know because it happened a lot especially on rager packs

[tiny cove]

Some Captain just kicked three of us off the map

[steel flame]

That explains alot

Never bothered to check before now

[tiny cove]

Didn't they change KF to not activate on bursters?

Or am I halucinating that change

[pale prairie]

Yes

[tiny cove]

[gray juniper]

I swear o swear I swear it wouldn’t proc on bomber pushes

[pale prairie]

Yeah my last run to finish event I am about to kill captain when he shield bug squishes me. We won but I hate that thing so much

[steel flame]

Only time I researched kf was back when Las pistol gunker was stuck in vt2 skill tree times

[gray juniper]

But a lot of skeptical non-psyker mains were very leery of siblings

[pale prairie]

It does like 1 damage the FORCE PUSH from the sword

[gray juniper]

Wew

[steel flame]

Kf was the only way gun psyker could generate warp charges in ye olde times

Dark days indeed

[pale prairie]

I mean it was before arbites

https://tenor.com/view/not-undecided-cringe-eeeekkkk-oh-nooo-gif-9556280905605722659

So pretty bright honestly

[steel flame]

It was back when obscurus force sword was the best force sword

[pale prairie]

Haha

[patent jacinth]

It still is

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-gif-26722749

[patent jacinth]

Expose your local crusher to the wrath of God (heavy light light)

[steel flame]

Just imagine if we still had the old blazing spirit.....5 entire seconds where every attack set enemies on fire

After every special

I could cry

[radiant frigate]

well, can't exactly say "still"

for a while it was deimos

[tacit stump]

i prefer deimos over obscurus

obscurus just feels weird

[deft stump]

Deimos still easier to use though. Funni quick thrust nuke lul.

[upper sun]

deimos doesnt feel great now tbh

[tacit stump]

i use the ds4 now more often after the shange

[radiant frigate]

funni stab sends ogryns to the floor

obscurus also has this advantage #psyker-class message

[tacit stump]

the plague ogryn got weirded out by you

[deft stump]

I mean lights.

L1 funni vs L3 funni.

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean the main draw of the funny deimos is h2

[upper sun]

yeah but H1 has no cleave and L2 is not great either

it doesnt do much outside of the L1H2 combo

special locks on for still too long

i think it can use some QoL buffs

maybe a looping H2

[tacit stump]

what annoys me most about forceswords are the specials

[deft stump]

I mean, all it really needs to do when you have assail/inferno maybe trauma for horde.

[upper sun]

i still want the other attacks to be good

like after the buffs now H1 doesnt kill enemies anymore 😭

[deft stump]

Illisi has the most useful one imo... actual mark needs a buff.

[tacit stump]

i use h1l2 loop by deimos for medium hordes

[upper sun]

illisi needs to be GIGA buffed

[tacit stump]

and the other specials rework and illisi aswell like relic or power sabre just with peril

[radiant frigate]

illisi needs force cycler baked into it or an overhead or both or a toggle special a la relic blade

[upper sun]

hell yeah

also the cleave fixed

[quartz barn]

Updating its special is the main thing imo

Atm its just fgs but worse

[tacit stump]

and i dislike personally the psychic overload special from obscurus and deimos

[radiant frigate]

fgs but without the heavies

[quartz barn]

And cleave size

And ranged special

[radiant frigate]

it is more mobile however

[upper sun]

mfw L1L2qq is the optimal clear for fgs

[radiant frigate]

and feels nice whenever you have a moment when going from target to target (so you can obliterate the next one) (otherwise known as regular fgs swing)

make illisi great again

[weary idol]

https://imgur.com/a/6CvTxPn real

[radiant frigate]

smh dropping wrath and shred stacks on every swap

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/920016996752564286/1274487631987605674/GVHX15RXoAApby3-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif

(okay not every swap but still)

[tacit stump]

thats why i do 3 slashes with block cancel

[cosmic cobalt]

I find the mkviii better tbh

the st loop is just much faster even if the mkvi h2 does more damage

also better mixed horde clear

[radiant frigate]

but mk6 has immediate access to single target damage from any point in any combo

[tacit stump]

and the stab hits really hard

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean you can start vii i with either l1 into h2 or force push into stab

the stab hit hard sure but it also really slow imo

[radiant frigate]

right and both of these have a Not Murder opener to them

[tacit stump]

dual overhead shain h1->l4->h1

[radiant frigate]

mk6 has overhead from neutral, sprint, stab from special, l4 after light combo

mk8 from sprint has Sweep and Bigger Sweep

[cosmic cobalt]

isn't mk6 sprint heavy is a overhead and cleave light

you might be confused with relic blade lol

[radiant frigate]

no i might not

mk6 sprint heavy is an overhead and it is what i was talking about

[cosmic cobalt]

oh nvm i can't read

[radiant frigate]

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah it good but it isn't for me

[radiant frigate]

mk6 vs mk8 is, at the end of the day, a question of preference

(but you're still wrong if you prefer mk8)

that is all

[long saddle]

yeah im doing 6 atm, even if I hate the cancel for the best horde clear

[zealous wing]

i love it, because its very versatile for "herding" the horde at the same time

i can shorten or lengthen the pattern by one to cull one side a little extra, helps movement also

[cosmic cobalt]

friendly reminder that push doesn't destroy your wrath stack

[zealous wing]

does push attack though?

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah no

as long as you don't miss

[icy breach]

then use assail & voidstrike/blast staffs; EK works too; frozen lightining like from GoW or ER

[icy breach]

aka don't suck

[cosmic cobalt]

another wrath w

[tacit stump]

i don't use smite

[modest perch]

why use wrath ? are you not using warp splitting ?

(if u dont ur wrong)

[snow flint]

So I started playing psyker and now I know what it’s like for a kill to be taken from you when you’re in the middle of popping that kill’s head. It sucks

[modest perch]

just wait til u start using dd

having those kills stolen makes my eye do the twitchy thing

[tacit stump]

prep with rightclick und use first when full with leftclick

[still ingot]

i main ek exclusively with smite or assail

[cosmic cobalt]

I forgor

[tacit stump]

ek is fun witb assail

[cosmic cobalt]

but it apply to all weapon with wrath

also free talent point i guess

[still ingot]

scriers dd synergy makes me happy with it

[cosmic cobalt]

wrath is so strong though

straight up damage blessing in disguise

[tacit stump]

uhm you Take wrath cause with staff you have somtimes lower peril while using prolonged meele

[cosmic cobalt]

warp splitting is for gunpsyker build anyway

[tacit stump]

yeah

[cosmic cobalt]

I still prefer assail weave for soulstealer proc over warp ghost

[bright summit]

+1 except i've been trying out KF recently its funny

[cosmic cobalt]

kf is decent on gunpsyker now yeah

assail still good

[bright summit]

on ek i'm not a believer yet you might need to micro it for it to be worth but idk if the attention is worth it at all

[wind spruce]

Atleast you don't lose your entire stack of warp charges from it like back in the olden days

[wind spruce]

They don't conflict though? Warp ghost just makes those soulstealer procs stronger

[summer prairie]

You want passive quelling for weaving

[wind spruce]

TRUE

[summer prairie]

sometimes by crack of bone is enough but you won't be able to spam assail nearly as much

[potent echo]

With warp ghost I feel the need to 1tic quell alot more, before you might passive quell enough to toss 2-3 assails but with warp ghost you need to sprint slide quell alot more

[spiral storm]

wtf was the changes to dueling sword?

reduced armor damage on heavy attacks
Poke changed to parry that has same damage as old heavy attacks

Psyker gets special hyper push that uses peril?

[long saddle]

they tried to nerf it

[tacit stump]

the annoying thing is special psyker buff as gunker

exploded yesterday cause of it while tanking dh in mortis trials

[proper osprey]

I can take less damage

Only damage I took was from my team

That’s something i need to learn

I’m so used to doing everything

As seen above

[marble crater]

Barrel your team

[proper osprey]

I need to learn how to position where I won’t be fucked by them

Literally i could have taken 0 damage as tac axe melee psyker

[marble crater]

I barreled one of my team by accident yesterday. Game didn't show any outlines or names for a few seconds so I just blew up a barrel in a bunch of enemies, followed by the alert that someone is ledged, oops

[marble crater]

Don't stand near ledges and barrels, easy

[proper osprey]

It’s getting bursters pushed into me when I’m trying to run away from them

Or yeah barrels

[tacit stump]

pushed yesterday accidentally a burster into a teammate cause of bad positioning in trials

[summer prairie]

Was this actually added for Zealot

[patent steeple]

not that I myself am aware of, but I might just be misremembering slightly.

but there is a kinda similar sentence at the end of the "reduced sprint cost and increased sprint speed" talent node iirc...

[summer prairie]

sounds quite odd

[patent steeple]

btw, is dueling sword still worth using? I swapped to Deimos after the update (Deimos has better/more comfortable horde clear in a pinch)

[wraith sphinx]

Yes, definitely

I use mkv now and it feels so smooth

[tribal echo]

anyone have a good new flame staff build for me

i dont remember what my old one was lol

also wtf it just deleted my current build

[thorn cedar]

Update: walked in to quit my job but learned my manager has been fired, lmao

I GUESS I'll wait things out a bit

[tribal echo]

lol damn

good luck

[thorn cedar]

Doubt much will change since most of his shittiness was because of demands from higher up and I can only assume he wasn't being shitty enough.

I should go have myself a nice breakfast somewhere, I'm never up this early on a day off

[upper sun]

@marble crater i hate my stupid chuddlife 😭

[marble crater]

It was your last chance

[upper sun]

i never check that email 😭

[woven sentinel]

Makes no sense that special does not apply SB, my build idea is in shambles 🙁

[wraith sphinx]

GeForce Maybe

[woven sentinel]

Looks like youre not the only one that planned a darktide vacation

[thorn cedar]

I did not hate my boss. He got screwed.

Company broadly is making dumb decisions.

[spice oar]

Parry psyker is hella strong

I’ve got two “tank” builds for psyker, one with greatsword being mainly about actually in the thick of it and taking hits, and one with dueling sword where I am too nimble and they struggle to catch me as I pull aggro

And even if they do, parry womp womp

[patent steeple]

ok, but what about if I use it with a Blaze VB build? (I can't afford KD, because I use shriek and really want EE (and maybe Vulnerable Minds too)

[spice oar]

Mmm well the parry has a unique passive for psykers

We spend 4% peril to deliver a stronger counter, I’m not sure if that overrides the stamina cost however because I use KD with it

Go into meat grinder and check

[gray juniper]

So does everyone feel like gaze comes back soon as you pop it?

Ngl the up time is so quick i can’t tell when it’s on or off

[patent steeple]

don't got the mod for spawning stuff in meat grinder...

[tacit stump]

you can explode through that

[zinc phoenix]

Yes. I have no idea why people would feel they need warp charges for it, the uptime is silly

[tacit stump]

i use the right keystone with gaze

[spice oar]

Literally why 😭

[tacit stump]

because psyker

[gray juniper]

Oh… heh heh… that’s definitely not what I was doing…

[spice oar]

Time to pull it into a mission then

[spice oar]

Means we can’t grab the reduced passive quell talent then because we essentially can’t use parry, rip

[gray juniper]

A whole match of gaze never turned off and no worry of exploding at all

[zinc phoenix]

Psyk aura alone outputs enough CDR for near 100 uptime

[spice oar]

Unless you wanna quell before you do it each time

[spice oar]

Actually fair point nvm gaze is goated

[zinc phoenix]

There are a lot of rough edges to the balancing in this patch

[gray juniper]

Gunker has always been goated for the most part

But yea looking at the numbers oddball is right. Damn I have points to add blaze to this I guess

[zinc phoenix]

Hot take but I honestly think no keystone gaze is totally viable

[gray juniper]

I’ll just confess, I fuckin hate disrupt destiny

[tacit stump]

i like disrupt destiny more crit

[gray juniper]

Yea that’s cool

Then it comes to the rubber meeting the road and I’m chasing specific kills that get snatched by someone else when I could be free range slaughtering

[tacit stump]

i use the quell effect since they make it proc 100%

[zinc phoenix]

Why?

BCOB is the same thing but way better

[tacit stump]

longer shroud uptime

[tall bobcat]

So what perks do I need to take to stop dying from being hit like three times in melee

[zinc phoenix]

The critical perk you are missing is “Don’t be Hit”

It’s tricky to find

[spice oar]

I feel like a gambler getting a new high each time I go on a DD streak

I just like the movement speed tbh

[gray juniper]

Bro. Gaze has the option 😭

[marble crater]

Kinetic Deflection and pressing the block button

Deflector, 3 +3 stamina curios, stamina on the weapon, block efficiency on curios, Warp Ghost

Empyric Resolve too

[spice oar]

I can have both tho and be more speedy

I run sprint efficiency on all my curios

[ornate hamlet]

when using the purge staff, when do i wanna focus on spamming normal shots instead of always charging up my attacks?

[spice oar]

Vermintide 2 has made me addicted to speeding through enemies

[barren dome]

penetration of the soul vs kinetic flayer for the last point on inferno?

also, can kinetic flayer still proc on bursters?

[marble crater]

Normal if you need to stagger something or if you need to reposition, otherwise charged

[gray juniper]

No keystone gaze: all blaze nodes + souls drinker, PT, mettle, malefic, bcob, EE, dream, one with warp, anticipation, warp rider, warp ghost, vulnerable minds
Gaze: warp speed, precog, unbound

[ornate hamlet]

so if i encounter a group of let’s say.. zerkers or such i wanna spam it?

[gray juniper]

Only when you need to stagger something

[marble crater]

If they are right in your face yeah

[spice oar]

Yeah if they are in your face

[marble crater]

If they attack the zealot in front of you, charge

Or... Walk away

[gray juniper]

Otherwise, be a man and use push attack and duel them one at a time

[spice oar]

Leave the blunt to their own

[gray juniper]

Walk away is the best option

[ornate hamlet]

i love the build a lot, and i love the CC but also i’m having some small issues with boss damage, I guess that’s the trade off

[gray juniper]

Yea there is none

[marble crater]

Inferno has decent boss damage, for psyker

Unyielding perk helps

[ornate hamlet]

it’s not horrible yeah

[tall bobcat]

The best boss dps I've been finding for psyker now is trauma staff + Shout

[marble crater]

Can also burn to max stacks then melee or brain burst, then burn again

[ornate hamlet]

i usually just switch to dueling sword with uncanny and thrust and poke weak spots on bosses

usually does more damage anyways

[tall bobcat]

Full brittleness + rending on warp attacks from the tree makes bosses chunk down

[thorn cedar]

Wait til you discover the power of Laspee shooting them in the head with 80% crit

Did Reaper HP get adjusted too? Cause if not then it can still one tap them when you're fully juiced.

[ornate hamlet]

i think only crushers got buffed yeah?

[marble crater]

I don't think so, crushers and lots of scab enemies, right?

[ornate hamlet]

even thought DS can still easily two tap crushers, if not more consistently now

seems like the crusher buff didn’t work well

[thorn cedar]

Oh it worked.

[marble crater]

Basically scab got buffed

[thorn cedar]

Honestly I already didn't lean into building to blow them up but would instead manage with stagger and control. So now there's less of them which makes controlling even easier.

Doesn't matter if a Crusher has 3600 or 18,000HP if it's never on its feet for more than two seconds.

[ornate hamlet]

but if anyone could give any feedback on this build please do so

is this a solid build for purge staff?

[twilit veldt]

question, does stun immunity also affect interruptions? like getting hit while charging XYZ?

[ornate hamlet]

i would imagine so

[thorn cedar]

Yes.

Fantastic talent that only gets better as you do.

[twilit veldt]

perfect

im doing a smiteker with scryiers gaze

so im basically always at 100% peril

words cannot describe how much i love using this thing

my record rn is ~50 sec long smite

tho with AM 20% CD reduction modifier i should be able to keep it up indefinitely

[icy breach]

Scab gunners too

[icy breach]

Yes

[twilit veldt]

yea wonderful

sucks ass to have your nonstop smite be interrupted because somehow a single dude got behind you, dealt 0 damage but somehow staggered you out of smiting the 7 billion crushers and maulers

[gray juniper]

All enemies have health increases except pox walkers

[icy breach]

Thats basically control smite; dmg will be less & you don’t have a safety net from venting shriek
Otherwise great

I prefer venting shriek version; more safe & more dmg

[sacred crane]

Why smite when trauma exists

Ooohhhh trauma staff ooohhh

You shall cast soulblaze thunder oooooohhh

[dusk timber]

Cause smite isnt on your ranged weapon slot

[twilit veldt]

smite cant (normally) peril you since as soon as it reaches 100% (without scryiers active) itll end and chuck your peril to like 90%. and scryiers is fast to recharge and quells 50% as well just like shriek

[twilit veldt]

luv the blast

[sacred crane]

Militarum cerified phonk

[twilit veldt]

Saint Celestine speech is shrimply based

LEND ME YOUR HATE! LEND ME YOUR WRATH! LEND ME YOUR FIRE! PRAISE HIM!

[icy breach]

Ye thats why its more infinite than venting version but less dmg and no safety net from venting; also more suseptibe to ranged attacks cause you don’t regain as much ypur toughnessbinstantly due no lack of soulblaze

[twilit veldt]

it is what it is, scriers has a small 2.5% toughness regen (tho that gets kinda lowered via ER) but most toughness will be gained from killing trash mobs with warp kills

tho i wonder if warp ghost almost negates empyric resolve

empyric is -30, warp ghost is +25

if its all just additive, then thats -5% toughness regen for -40% peril generation, +2 stamina and some passive quelling

not too bad

[upper sun]

is that a metal version of saint Celestine's speech

[twilit veldt]

https://youtu.be/PqXfX8v16Gs?si=1SMcQPuMLp0r-GRY

[upper sun]

emma gregory did such a fantastic job id march into war for that woman

[merry meteor]

I think they overtuned Disrupt Destiny quite a bit lol

sorry to be party pooper here, but it so obviously "feeds" you marked targets now I'm not sure it works as intended

like I see a foe being marked the moment I breath his direction in melee

Also, I always wondered - do my allies see my targets marked by DD? So, like, they could have chance to not kill them voluntarily? And what happens when two psykers with DD meet, will they be "competing" for marked foes, will there be just 2x more marked foes, each only visible to its "intended" psyker?

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

You don't pick smite with trauma

[icy breach]

Its not needed; that -30% is not that big if you do math

[jovial juniper]

Teammates do not see your mark

[marble crater]

Yeah, but Warp Ghost would still be a great pick without the toughness part

[summer prairie]

rotten healing is absolutely ridiculous, how are you supposed to play it without aoe

[icy breach]

Works very well with venting shriek

[marble crater]

That's the fun part, you aren't

[icy breach]

No CC = no win; its been as old as this game

And the ridiculous phrase ‚Best CC is to kill the enemy’ is pepega take

[thorn cedar]

Only you see them.

And yes it's overtuned now but most of the player base is still intimidated by it so, I'll take the free buffs.

[thorn cedar]

are ya winning son

[upper sun]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1420895524285972490/download.png?ex=68d7b853&is=68d666d3&hm=1f577538e6ec7a17104f1c194e087b989f1a9469684a2c6405df92d0767a5557
i still cant believe this shit made it past testing

does fatshark play the same game we do

this completely negates any need for me to learn to keep my peril up

[mental kayak]

i haven't won a game in 2 days

[mental kayak]

what is passive quelling

can you explain

is it easier to keep peril to 60 / 70 range

[upper sun]

when your peril goes down by itself without you having to press reload

[mental kayak]

oh okay

so it doen't slow the actual reloading

[upper sun]

no

[mental kayak]

it just keeps it there longer

yea that's kinda broken

no?

[wraith sphinx]

been a while since I felt like a useless fourth wheel in a match

[mental kayak]

[upper sun]

it just slows down how long it needs to go down by itself

[upper sun]

yeah even without stamina and toughness

first time i play psyker in months with a new build i pullled 700k+ damage in an auric game

[thorn cedar]

I would hardly call it broken.

[wraith sphinx]

@marble crater you will be pleased to know that the crackhead psyker build is even more powerful now

[upper sun]

its giga broken

[wraith sphinx]

I think every class has a dummy strong talent now

or three

pathing to warp ghost, WG included gives you essentially the equivalent of +3 stamina curio

[merry meteor]

I thought it's meant for builds that struggle to keep it up? Like it was a perfect addition to my all-rounder psyker build with BB and GS. Previously I had to constantly spam GS's special attack to keep peril up, which was tedious and interfered with my ability to maintain the sword's charge. With WG it's so much more pleasant to play it now.

I don't use GS for my buble knight build though, to benefit more from (buffed) Quietude and to be able to use Assail more freely, without the need to drop Peril before every its use first

[wraith sphinx]

GS? You mean SG?

oh greatsword nevermind

[merry meteor]

I mean Great Sword lol. What is SG?

[wraith sphinx]

scrier's gaze

[merry meteor]

ah

[wraith sphinx]

I'm maining a brain burst gun psyker build now and I have essentially completely eliminated the need to manually quell unless I run out of ammo and have to kill rangeds

[marble crater]

good
buff psyker more

[wraith sphinx]

It's so fucking great having warp speed again without it feeling like a point better spent elsewhere

[deft stump]

Scab everything.

[lyric burrow]

Warp ghost is great although sometimes i forget i have it and wonder why i can never throw more than 2 assails when i swap to it

[deft stump]

Have you seen this many stam bars? I have 17 now, can go to 19 if I wanna hard meme.

[ornate hamlet]

wtf build is THAT?????

[merry meteor]

But Warp Ghost doesn't help with quelling? It actually makes you quell manually more, as peril goes down much slower no?

[deft stump]

Makes it easier to edge higher and longer for meleekers.

[ornate hamlet]

[wraith sphinx]

No because I quell with bcob

[lyric burrow]

Ye i use it on melee psyker to stay at 80 or 90 constantly

And then dont take crack of bone and whatnot

[ornate hamlet]

i wonder if trauma staff is even more busted now

[deft stump]

Just press and hold X if needed, easy.

[lyric burrow]

Sometimes i gotta Manually quell which is a slight L in havoc

But not a huge deal

[lyric burrow]

Probably

Havent tested new non melee stuff

But i wouldn't be shocked

[merry meteor]

For Warp Ghost, what does "+25% tougness replenishment" mean? Does it add 1/4 to any toughness gains from any sources? Or something more niche?

[summer prairie]

former

[patent steeple]

but how much does 1/4 compensate for the -30% toughness gain from ER?

like, does it actually reduce the -30% to just -5%?

[buoyant maple]

You get 0.95 your original toughness gain

[summer prairie]

Ok, it doesn't apply to coherency toughness

[buoyant maple]

The only toughness gain modifier that’s multiplicative is the new plasma gunner

[thorn cedar]

Additive, so -5%

[summer prairie]

the +25% is additive while -30% is a multiplier. I think it may be (1+0.25)*0.7

toughness_replenish_modifier vs toughness_replenish_multiplier

[thorn cedar]

Yeah it's a bit weird.

And Momentum blessing is unaffected for reasons

Irish Coffee for breakfast. Nice way to start a weekend.

[spiral storm]

Is warpghost good?

seems kinda like a node you would only take if you're gunker

[thorn cedar]

yea kinda

[icy breach]

Its good

[thorn cedar]

great even

[spiral storm]

For general use or gunker

[thorn cedar]

but do agree its somewhat niche

[icy breach]

Cause its keeping your buffs

[spiral storm]

oh okay

helps you edge

[icy breach]

I think considering almost always you manually quell

[spiral storm]

Wait that just makes me think

[icy breach]

The ‚downside’ is actualy a boon

[spiral storm]

like the only time I'm using manual quell is When I'm at like 96% or whatever % depending on staff

when you just finished using an attack, you won't passively quell

so like... does the -passive quell actually do much?

[trail orbit]

If yall made another psyker staff OR made staff marks what would it be?

[spiral storm]

I mean, the extra stamina and toughness gain is still huge

[thorn cedar]

It's atill +2 stam and toughness replen yeah

But if you already have very easy means to generate peril or generating lots of peril is already a default cost of your standard combat loop then the -80% is kinda irrelevant

[summer timber]

is it just me or do the servers feel worse?

[icy breach]

One with the warp
Immaterial focus
Warp rider
Warp splitting
Penetration of the soul
Creeping flames
ALL these wants you to be high peril; take it as you will

[summer timber]

like i feel like im disconnecting a lot more and having rubber banding issues

[spiral storm]

Yeah I think the servers are having issues rn

[summer timber]

I know they've been having problems for a long time now but it feels especially worse since the update

[icy breach]

All of my team crashed twice in havoc & that counted as 2 losses

So ye its bad

[summer timber]

Ok im glad im not the only one then

[spiral storm]

I would like to see a return of the beam staff

[summer timber]

Yeah I didnt wanna seem dramatic but almost every single match I've played I've been disconnected from

Like multiple times throughout the mission usually

[icy breach]

Those were not disconnects; they were crashes to windows

So worse

[deft stump]

Eu? Absolutely. Had 3 games giving up the ghost in like a day.

[summer timber]

Oh ya cuz it counts as abandoning the match

[summer timber]

No US East

[deft stump]

Oh, had one there yesterday.

[summer timber]

Mine have been disconnects, it usually varies in error codes but its always preluded with severe rubber banding and eventually everything just lags out

[deft stump]

Up and ended itself at the finale.

[summer timber]

I don't have this latency issues with other games

[summer timber]

Yeah there's been a few times I've disconnected and then come back and I'm the only person alive

Fumbling my teams..

[deft stump]

Normal. The servers need an upgrade tbh.

[summer timber]

At this point, definitely

Also

One more gripe with this update....

[quartz barn]

Also really depends on where youre from

For whatever reason aus always gets shafted when it comes to servers

[summer timber]

all 1,000 of these voice lines but not a single one for the new plasma gunner

[summer timber]

im US east and this is inconsistent with other multiplayer games i play, so its not my ISP

[loud girder]

bots not taking health charges is fucking huge

mortis duo finally playable

[summer timber]

i think the servers just shitting itself

[upper sun]

i like to listen to fun convos while i die to gunners

[summer timber]

yes i agree, same with targeting poxbursters

[deft stump]

Maybe. Just spice nowadays..

[summer timber]

trust me guys

those two things are literally my only 2 complaints of this update

otherwise its fantastic

basically every class got a massive buff

[quartz barn]

Probably ye, most of the time whenever i play its fine so idk

But i also have a couple mods that improve things in the background so unless its the servers are down error i dont notice anything

[deft stump]

No mods here, so raw. Lag spikes and everything. Is a little BS at times.

[quartz barn]

Yes but you have the asian connection

Unless its scuffed on those servers as well

[radiant frigate]

psyk aura and mm in the same build, we live in the jolliest of times

[zinc phoenix]

goooooooooner

[lyric burrow]

My games run fine mostly although yesterday our havoc match randomly dced everyone

[summer timber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1053823148048527440/1279574218950049814/diggin.gif

[deft stump]

I play US and EU. Servers are dead here when I play. I would be rolling nat 20s to find another player.

Was surprised when I went down to malice to do shroudfield backstab kills, there was someone.

It's not a playstyle I like so just doing lower diffs.

[spiral storm]

what's the meta way to build trauma

nexus blazing?

[zealous wing]

asking for meta so soon after a major rework is wild

we are still hunting bud

[upper sun]

blazing trauma is always meta

ALWAYS

[spiral storm]

major rework is a stretch

they just shuffled around the nodes

[upper sun]

cmon

[zealous wing]

it means shit works better, for cheaper

[spiral storm]

yeah but the meta staffs are unlikely to change

[zealous wing]

i think six was doing some basic template stuff tho for staves

[jovial juniper]

10 months wait for shit staff

It would do nothing

But people will argue

"fun"

And the staff would still be doing nothing

That being said

Give me beam staff

With machine gun m1

[spiral storm]

The duality of man

[patent mango]

when do they make surge staff awesome

[lyric burrow]

Its extremely likely blaze trauma is still top 1 or purge

[lyric burrow]

It was in 2022

(Not really that shit was ass)

[wraith sphinx]

no they didn't lol

[jovial juniper]

When they make m1 auto

[wraith sphinx]

upending the build meta isn't just reshuffling nodes

[spiral storm]

?

upending is an exageration

[wraith sphinx]

did you not read the patch notes or something

don't be dense

[spiral storm]

we're still just building burn with trauma or puge

[trail orbit]

what about another mark for flame staff that is just fireball mortors

[wraith sphinx]

"we"

[spiral storm]

it's the same builds, we just have a few extra points for taste

[wraith sphinx]

you couldn't be more wrong

[trail orbit]

except if you shoot the ball with bolts it breaks into many small globs that spread lots of fire on the ground

[deft stump]

EPC?

[spiral storm]

Perilous combustion, brian rupture, Souldrinker, Wildfire, seer's presence, psykinetic, One with warp, Bubble shield, Warprider, empyric resolve, warpsiphon

[trail orbit]

like the drg secondary for drilla

[spiral storm]

same build before and after

[wraith sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-fresh-mr-fresh-cat-cat-eating-cat-sleep-mr-fresh-eat-gif-15377773890486741194

[deft stump]

That's one of them, EPC. Experimental Plasma Charger.

[trail orbit]

or maybe make it more skill based. For each bolt that hits it before it touches the great, there is greater effect up to 3

[patent mango]

the staves are kinda eepy ngl i wish they had more to them

[trail orbit]

The staff can't shoot ever high but latterally has some distance

[plucky flax]

Just did 1.2mil in 26mins auric game after 2+ weeks no play. No rust I guess.

(Or psyker op now)

[wraith sphinx]

new staves and soon would be very cool

[wraith sphinx]

psyker dummy strong now yes

[spiral storm]

Purge staff?

[patent mango]

i'd be jolly with a more in depth staf yea

[plucky flax]

No surge creeping flames spam.

27:16 according to scoreboard mod.

The other psyker stole my soulblaze.

[spiral storm]

Neat

were you running scriers edging?

wait nvm, creeping flames

[wraith sphinx]

have you seen the build I posted btw

[deft stump]

More, RMB, charge, blast, lmb spam into it. BOOM.

[plucky flax]

Nein.

[trail orbit]

Exactly.

[wraith sphinx]

my favourite psyker gimmic went from being a barely workable meme to shredding it in maelstrom no problem

I even managed to beat havoc 21 so far with it

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ff45845-e1cc-4b1b-9341-33815857c7ca/brainsplosion-gun-psyker-a-new-dawn-csgo-knife-surfer

[spiral storm]

Maelstrom

[upper sun]

says #1 soulblaze stealer

[plucky flax]

The better player has the rights to soulblaze.

[wraith sphinx]

will continue to attempt beating harder havocs when I feel like it again

[trail orbit]

What about a staff that for the left click attack attack was a empowered swipe with the staff but holding right click was like charging a minigun. IT would build staff charge as it shot and when it hit max charge it would generate A LOT OF PERIL

[upper sun]

its tru i learned a lot watching u steal i took 100k from @strong gulch yesterday

[plucky flax]

👏

[upper sun]

run ahead and press F

even if you dont have 86 peril

[quartz barn]

Doesnt matter, your cd is really low anyway

Keep chaining for more sb theft

[plucky flax]

Do I still get +3 havoc rank if I clear a much higher map than my own rank?

[wraith sphinx]

I think so yes

[trail orbit]

U would kinda choose between dumping the empower stat on the staff or the charge stat since it effect the effectiveness of one or the other.

[wraith sphinx]

that part should not have been changed

[plucky flax]

Anyone with h40 inv me please.

@summer prairie

[lyric burrow]

Think so

[plucky flax]

I am rank 30 noob wanting to learn.

[spiral storm]

warp res is dumpstat

[trail orbit]

But what if this start staff didn't have warp res stat?

[strong gulch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1004447866250613048/1350220757657059469/Soulblaze_Yummy.gif

[quartz barn]

I curse you with h27 and lower teammates

[spiral storm]

whichever stat affects damage the least

[trail orbit]

damage, empower, charge, mobility, finnesse?, speed

[upper sun]

warp resist on most staves and blast radius on voidstrike NOT voidblast

[spiral storm]

that's 6 stats

[trail orbit]

what would you remove?

[quartz barn]

Run surge on voidblast for a double explosion

[spiral storm]

removed or use as a dump stat?

[deft stump]

I play heresy, does that count?

[trail orbit]

both at once

[upper sun]

these arent staff stats

[spiral storm]

mobility

[plucky flax]

Dump damage so you can spam staff more.

[trail orbit]

They are in my little hamburger helper world of theory crafting

[upper sun]

[quartz barn]

We both know you would solo carry agent through any H40

[plucky flax]

This guy got all 76 it's peaked.

[spiral storm]

oof, my havoc is dropped to 10

[wraith sphinx]

It's peak

[spiral storm]

haven't touched havoc in like 3 weeks

[pale matrix]

crap T_T

[plucky flax]

Bruh I hate it when I created my havoc party then the people i invited to it just randomly inv others.

My party I choose ppl I play with.

[deft stump]

That's a lie. I nearly had a heart attack clutching 6/9 of a mortis run.

[quartz barn]

Hey thats how i got my friends to h40

[cosmic cobalt]

set it to private bvruh

[plucky flax]

It's the party finder thing.

[deft stump]

Because I had teammates with damage but act like lemmings who dunno objectives.

[quartz barn]

Get invited to h40, then fren invite so the accept doesnt show up lmao

Host rarely knows it even happened

[plucky flax]

Anyone can just accept people on the party finder.

Sneaky bugger.

[quartz barn]

Ye everyone gets to interact with the party finder requests

And if you directly invite people theres no notif either

[plucky flax]

I got a gazer voidstrike psyker on my team.

Pog

[quartz barn]

Mfw i hijack some poor solos lobby

Invite 2 friends

Kick original host

[copper jay]

SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NEW PSYKER ?

[spiral storm]

this is giga broken

[copper jay]

This seems insane ! (Soon nerf ?)

[zealous wing]

probably not tbh

[upper sun]

idk what they were smoking when they made it

[patent mango]

we're lucky if we get like a single nerf nowadays

[spiral storm]

mostly just counteracts empyric

[upper sun]

i dont think theyre gonna nerf it any time soon

[zealous wing]

it still goes down enough you have to maintain if youre traveling a decent ways but, room to room its glorious

[spiral storm]

also +2 stamina

[zealous wing]

ye and above it, the small node, is +1 stam

free stam curio

which means i no longer have to struggle to decide what curio for berpsyker

[spiral storm]

pretty easy to grab since it's below warp rider

[deft stump]

Why?

[copper jay]

The old one had more personnality

[zealous wing]

im loving SG

[patent mango]

needs more text

[spiral storm]

It's very goofy

scriers gaze infinite edging

[deft stump]

[deft stump]

@brave sandal Someone complaining need more personality in avatar.

[brave sandal]

Oh no

[zealous wing]

burn the heretic

( i like your pfp :( )

[brave sandal]

Want a moustache? Really add character to things

[zealous wing]

that is true

it does work

[deft stump]

Do you want a krak to the face?

[zealous wing]

that also works

[deft stump]

Or like 13 bees/shards?

[brave sandal]

A krak for a nose

Sounds like that one Borderland guy

[deft stump]

That's YOUR face.

[zealous wing]

discount psyker

[weary crane]

Anyone know how to make loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder? I thought the night mode audio preset did this but it doesn't seem to make a difference

[deft stump]

WDYM?

[zealous wing]

a krak attached to someones face

ie, headsplosion

not a super funny joke, im still booting up

[spiral storm]

gaze, lmb is certainly.. a thing

[deft stump]

I will throw bees at you.

[zealous wing]

it would be deserved tbh

[copper jay]

What are your favorite weapon with this patch so far ?

[royal totem]

Hexis will carry me one day

[patent steeple]

in terms of psyker, I guess my favourites would be FGS, all the staffs, recon, and Deimos.

I know you asked for the favourite weapon and not weapons, but there's just too many to choose just one...

[zealous wing]

im literally just waiting for us both to be online at the same time 🫡

[copper jay]

Dont worry this is very valid ! Thanks for your answer !

[royal totem]

Im sadly really busy the next few days

[deft stump]

Yep, so, you carry now?

[zealous wing]

i can, but not high difficulities

[deft stump]

You know I mean aurics.

Or well, damnation.

[zealous wing]

yeah if im warmed up i could do at least an ok job

[royal totem]

Dun let hexis trick you. He carries aurics easily

[zealous wing]

but like, heresy i can keep everyone alive

usually

unless they're like

mega dumb

[deft stump]

Heresy is where I go to wrangle lemmings and somehow have to solo.

To the point they forget I need ammo as well...

[zealous wing]

yeah...

[deft stump]

So I lived on 77 bullets and survivalist to carry them.

[zinc phoenix]

i have a great time in the low difficulty modes, its super easy to carry and the newbs are always grateful. also what are you even using bullets for 😂

[royal totem]

Karien can have all my bullets

[deft stump]

Shooting trappers.

Duh.

And snipers.

[zinc phoenix]

take a double barrel, you wont need ammo

[zealous wing]

for me its monsters

[royal totem]

more like i just dont need bullets

[zealous wing]

or reapers, sometimes gunners to proc EE

nothing more fun of a feeling tbh then seeing literally 10 reapers in an alley and i just fucking walk out and start shooting, and i see the others hiding in cover or like, trying to run up to them to melee them or something, probably thinking im insane

[deft stump]

So my beekeeper build but inferno.

[zealous wing]

like, they're all getting ready for a showdown and im just "haha gun go brr"

[royal totem]

I was playing EK last night

[deft stump]

And I still remember a newbie spamming ammo pings at me

[royal totem]

Think hexis was already off to bed though

[zealous wing]

yeah i mightve been, or just irl stuff

[deft stump]

I'm clearly on my 'nade vet lul.

[thorn cedar]

https://www.twitch.tv/exploitstv/clip/AmericanProudPartridgeThisIsSparta-CSK-_fd4soOqZy6X

EE lets you just be a silly lil guy

[zinc phoenix]

every vet should glue smoke nades to their build

[zealous wing]

that walkway is my favourite

[zinc phoenix]

theyre so good

why would anyone use anything else

[zealous wing]

because smoke grenades are annoying imo, the enemies cant see shit but neither can i

[royal totem]

Im in a really awk timezone to play with ppl

[gray juniper]

Probably a “save my own ass” move

[zinc phoenix]

ok, enjoy getting ass blasted by a billion plasma troopers while dodging nets 🙏 meanwhile in the land of smoke vet the plasma troopers all walk up to be stabbed

its so good

[zealous wing]

yeah and i will just shoot them, proc EE, and not get hit

ive not really had issue with them yet

[gray juniper]

This niqqa in mars west

[upper sun]

what is tbn?

[royal totem]

I...am in us west

[deft stump]

Beeg boom! BEEG BOOMIES!

[gray juniper]

You have all USA and Australia to play with

[zealous wing]

hmm so NA East would be our server when we play together

[upper sun]

fate worse than death

[zealous wing]

about 100 ping for me, dunno about yours

[royal totem]

Us east norms off to bed when i play

[gray juniper]

The 50 players in Australia beg to differ

[deft stump]

Oh, I 'train' there. Is like 190-260 ping recently there.

[gray juniper]

This is a grown ups only game problem

[regal pumice]

wtf is a critical attack, a hit?

[zealous wing]

if youre properly in the west coast time zone, youre 9 hours behind me

[jovial juniper]

There's

[deft stump]

This is unplayable. Only better than Russia.

[royal totem]

I am in west coast time

[jovial juniper]

Body hit
Critical body hit
Weakspot hit
Critical Weakspot hit

[deft stump]

12 hours behind me.

[royal totem]

I joke that hexis can tell me the future

[regal pumice]

so it's a weakspot critical hit?

[jovial juniper]

Nope

[gray juniper]

Goodbye karien. I’ll see you when they remove plasma gunners

[jovial juniper]

It's a weakspot hit

[deft stump]

Playing at 300 ping means predictions already.

[jovial juniper]

Criticals are just rolling a dice for a chance of better damage

[deft stump]

Or just don't pick event. I'll survive, somehow.

[gray juniper]

I think they’re in regular matches just less

Idk I quick play everything

[cinder veldt]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f3c4b5a-428e-4467-a66c-5c8e40480f84/arbites-tank

[deft stump]

Just less, yep.

[deft stump]

Wrong class.

[gray juniper]

[zealous wing]

damn bro had the audacity to post an arbititty build in psyker chat

[deft stump]

To be fair, it's not like they were talking beforehand.

[gray juniper]

Arbites is dead bro. No one wants to hear about that PLAYED OUT class

[jovial juniper]

Midbtrator is 2 levels down

[gray juniper]

Git gud

[upper sun]

wasnt perfect timing 5 seconds?

[regal pumice]

Do you guys consider this a mandatory pick?

[gray juniper]

We are dicks btw

[upper sun]

critical hits are random increased damage

[zealous wing]

i can check the video archive of the tree

[upper sun]

i legit dont even understand this talent

[regal pumice]

I think its just perma 10% damage reduction then what it says

[jovial juniper]

Not really

[upper sun]

is the 10% damage forever or on high peril

[jovial juniper]

Forever

[upper sun]

is the 4 second for the activation or what

is the stun immunity forever or at high peril

[jovial juniper]

On critical peril you get 4 seconds

Of stun immunity

[upper sun]

4 seconds of WHAT

ah

[regal pumice]

10% damage reduction is kinda good

[upper sun]

sounds cringe

[zealous wing]

stun immunity

[regal pumice]

what even is a stun

[upper sun]

one with the warp gives you more for longer

[plucky flax]

Okay my damage was low because the other psyker was blazing voidstrike

I got my soulblaze stolen.

Karma I guess.

[upper sun]

when someone hits you can you get staggered and cant attack for half a second

[zealous wing]

wtf even is sb stealing no one explained

[upper sun]

or when someone attacks you and you cancel out of doing something

like healing/puzzle etc

[regal pumice]

I take both

[jovial juniper]

Little correction

[plucky flax]

It doesn't matter dw.

It's just meme.

[jovial juniper]

At critical peril you're stun Immune

[plucky flax]

As long as you win scoreboard damage is meaningless.

[jovial juniper]

After dropping from critical peril you're stun Immune for 4 seconds

[zealous wing]

wait a fucking second

it works on data interro

??

[jovial juniper]

Critical Peril is 97%

[zealous wing]

because if it works on datainterrogation i might actually take it

[jovial juniper]

Stun immunity? Yes

But

Tg breaking interruption might still apply while interrogating

[zealous wing]

yeah but the single pxxer sneaking behind me would be less annoying

[jovial juniper]

Needs more testing

[thorn cedar]

I do at least.

[lyric burrow]

You can steal who owns the stacks if 2 people have SB damage when you apply your stacks

But its mostly a meme

[plucky flax]

I don't use it.

[zealous wing]

also, t breaking affects revives and all so id imagine its still there as a "dont fucking die you moron" mechanic

[upper sun]

whoever applies first owns all the stacks

[zealous wing]

yeah but how is that stealing if its first come first serve situation

or is that the joke

[upper sun]

i shout at 40 peril while another psyker is going to blaze the fuck out of a hoard then leave

[thorn cedar]

It always works while you're at 97%+ and will continue to work for four seconds after you dip below 97%. Passive Quelling takes 3 seconds to kick in and if you have Warp Ghost it's something like 9ish seconds of stun immunity with no additional input from you.

The 10% DR is always active.

[upper sun]

i get all the kills

[sacred crane]

Ok siblings Ive use inferno and trauma builds well enough this rework
Which build should I use next

[zealous wing]

i would need just one more point scrounged from somewhere

[thorn cedar]

pictured: you listening to me simp mind in motion against ur will

[royal totem]

FGS with spearhead boltgun

[sacred crane]

Uhhh not possible

Psyker no boltgun

[zealous wing]

you fine with a bonkers build that somehow works? im curious if its just a me thing

[jovial juniper]

Oh you can revive people on fire now

[zealous wing]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ff65af5-e96e-48a9-b91d-34f8b76124b8/hexis-the-berpsyker

it might be tweaked in the future but this is what i have right now

[royal totem]

sorry sorry. FGS and braced autogun

[sacred crane]

wat is fgs

[zealous wing]

basically, you'd be frontline capable, even prefferably

[sacred crane]

Every frontline psyker I see is a melee psykee

[zealous wing]

this is melee / monsterkiller / kill everything

[thorn cedar]

There's no real frontline staff.

Trauma is like, midline at best.

[royal totem]

Force Great Sword

[sacred crane]

Trauma <3

[spiral storm]

We need more staffs, desperately

[thorn cedar]

We need that shotgun staff from VT2

[spiral storm]

trauma is the only fun staff

[sacred crane]

PSYKER EXCLUSIVE GUN WHEN????

LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN FATSHARK

[regal pumice]

why do people in havoc on psykur run max health adn wounds

[thorn cedar]

wounds huh

[spiral storm]

because they bad

[thorn cedar]

health makes sense though

[regal pumice]

just wanted to make sure

[spiral storm]

health lets you survive a pox burster though

[sacred crane]

Health makes sense
Wounds dont

[zealous wing]

yeah health makes sense, wounds is probably them thinking, "if i go down i can keep playing" not "if i had toughness instead i'd not need the wounds"

[thorn cedar]

sadly we can no longer spec to survive a mauler overhead in H40

[sacred crane]

Only zealots have an excuse to run wounds
