psyker-class

[bright summit]

If everything goes to plan I'll have a video about that build out this week so that may be helpful too

Who knows

[ripe obsidian]

I can link related youtube videos as well

[bright summit]

I have one about shriek ek

[ripe obsidian]

gib links, I add to guide

I will make other people do the work for me. >:)

[bright summit]

https://youtu.be/LUmtHv0M6yY

[ripe obsidian]

And if it gets more visibility for people, all the better

[bright summit]

Ignore the clickbait

Sweet

There's a few things I missed in the video but I did mention them in the description

Kinda just made it bc I felt like it

[ripe obsidian]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9fbb6817-8e7c-4b10-881b-ab932628b321/updated-havoc-40-electrokinetic-braindead-shriekspam

Issat this build?

[bright summit]

Yesh

[ripe obsidian]

Cool, making it a sub-bullet of that

Just to keep things grouped

[bright summit]

Nice

Time for me to sleep then lol

[ripe obsidian]

Cheers. Video added to guide

[strong gulch]

Lot of people, especially before the latest patch, wanted bubble knight for everything.

[plucky flax]

Not bubble knight specifically but just bubble surely.

[strong gulch]

specifically

[plucky flax]

I bought some goofy ahh ceiling projector thing for the meme

Not sure if £30 well spent or not

[strong gulch]

play a big lava lamp on it

[plucky flax]

Might get 1 ye

Oh you mean play. Its like a static image thing with a slow spin

Just some cheap stuff on amazon

[strong gulch]

Oh it's stack. That kind.

But yeah for sure

nostalgic

But def get a lava lamp

big ones are expensive tho

[plucky flax]

Yeee maybe i wait until black Friday

So a 50+ become maybe 30 ish

[strong gulch]

Look up if they are shipped during the cold season tho. The main manufacturer here doesn't ship in the winter. But they do semi custom orders.

[plucky flax]

Hmm im grabbing stuff from amazon

You think the cheap Chinese stuff are not good?

[ripe obsidian]

Because I know people will ask for it, how does this Smite/Shriek build look?

[strong gulch]

I just wanted a specific lamp that was hard to find. Black wax with red liquid.

[plucky flax]

Hmm the 'original' lava lamp is expensive.

90-120

[zealous wing]

looks vaguely fine to me, though i know several people will complain that it isnt a scriers gaze "infinite smite press W and pretend youre good at the game" build

[strong gulch]

Looks fine.

Might be worth writing a note that though smite can't crit, other tools can. So you can get perfect timing stacks before smiting.

I think bio-lodestone was buffed. Still take the garuntee imo.

[ripe obsidian]

The hope is that Shriek makes the build slightly more useful.

[zealous wing]

i too would hope so

last night, for me, discord was just a huge wall of "blocked message" "ignored message x2" "blocked message x2" "blocked message"

smykers throwing tantrums because no one likes them is annoying

[strong gulch]

[zealous wing]

they got mad at me for threatening to block them

INGAME too

but, they play in NA if my suspicious proficiency in discord message hunting is accurate, so im safe, unless they jump into a live game

which, if they do, i have nefarious plans

[strong gulch]

I'm pro blocking.

[zealous wing]

i was gonna type it all out but that ruin the fun

[strong gulch]

If I get blocked, there was a reason for it.

[zealous wing]

i have NEVER had to block more people in a discord server

[strong gulch]

If I block, there is a reason as well.

[wind spruce]

Charged strike and no other melee nodes is questionable

[zealous wing]

TRUE

[ripe obsidian]

I have not used smite in like 2 years

I dunno what's worth picking

[wind spruce]

Charged strike doesn't affect smite

[ripe obsidian]

I know

No idea where else to put it. Maybe Vulnerable Minds.

[wind spruce]

And charged strike mainly does work on hordes

[ripe obsidian]

I'm not making a template for Smite

[strong gulch]

But also, you're already going all in on smite so might as well

[wind spruce]

Possibly, even just melee attack speed is better in context though imo

[calm lagoon]

It got buffed and it's currently bugged making it OP

[strong gulch]

more monster smiting is gonna happen

[calm lagoon]

Unless they fixed it in which case boooo it didn't even last a week

[plucky flax]

Sry was me

[pale prairie]

does anybody know what this message is? I can't see it

[plucky flax]

It was me.

[zealous wing]

was a valiant effort, krieger

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/dio-brando-gif-25280711

[strong gulch]

love you

[calm lagoon]

What

[zealous wing]

but you can see blocked messages

[wind spruce]

I know but the build isn't really utilising it

[rancid jasper]

What do people think of the new placement of Souldrinker in the tree? Seems much easier to get in a soulblaze build

[pale prairie]

Agent is Dio its canon

[ripe obsidian]

10/10

[wind spruce]

And I'd rather bonk faster when I'm meleeing than have the charged strike damage even with the broken EP interaction

[rancid jasper]

was kinda a hassle to get before imo

[ripe obsidian]

It was a 3 point tax before and super not worth it

[rancid jasper]

new placement is nice, right next to wf too

[pale prairie]

on a scale to not able to get it before to able to get it now? yes 10/10

[calm lagoon]

Smykers being what

[ripe obsidian]

The only downside of Souldrinker now is that it makes Soulblaze kinda the default for staff users

[zealous wing]

permasmiters

[ripe obsidian]

Which I don't love

[calm lagoon]

Eh fair

[strong gulch]

smite users smite as much as they can

[rancid jasper]

i can see an argument being made that they made some nodes TOO accessible and strategic pathing became less important

[calm lagoon]

You block people for a play style?- 😭

[pale prairie]

I mean if souldrinker wasn't gonna do that. then the hp buffs would have

[zealous wing]

i block them for being whiney

[calm lagoon]

There's still some tax for shit

[pale prairie]

DoTs are premium currency now

[ripe obsidian]

The big problem, imo, is that Channeled Force and Empyric Shock aren't great. ES is quite good on EK, but otherwise pretty eh.

[calm lagoon]

Gimp activity lol

[zealous wing]

and i block them ingame for pausing the game for me, a bash and wacker

[calm lagoon]

Even bigger gimp activity lol

[wind spruce]

I block anyone who is good (killstealing assholes)

[zealous wing]

if they wanna play it that way, they can. just not around me 😁

[calm lagoon]

I didn't know people valued kill count? 😭

[ripe obsidian]

If they made Channeled Force into something good, without just making it a node to make Inferno better, then there would be a lot more build variety for staves

[pale prairie]

I block people who block

[ripe obsidian]

What about this? The middle EP node so the Smyker is making their team tankier

[wind spruce]

What else is there to value

[calm lagoon]

The bottom one on shriek is the bonus damage one right?

[ripe obsidian]

Bottom one is creeping flames

[rancid jasper]

did they nerf shriek creeping flames or?

[ripe obsidian]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1004447866250613048/1295449409160478781/chiquichico-ezgif.com-instagif.gif

[pale prairie]

nah pick the ogryn and boss damage one

for the boss smiting

[wind spruce]

No

[ripe obsidian]

Creeping Flames is still 1000% better than the other node

[calm lagoon]

Mission completion, your value to the team, objective shit, how fun you are too play with

[rancid jasper]

damn, i really thought they might

[ripe obsidian]

They need to make the other node actually worthwhile.

[calm lagoon]

Who gives a shit about kill count and who blocks people for "kill stealing"? 😭

[pale prairie]

ah yes this is the good shit

[zealous wing]

this i do agree with, and smykers are not fun to play with, ever

they're never helpful in any capacity

[calm lagoon]

100%, I think if they made it like a damage boost solely and buffed it then it'd be valuable

[zealous wing]

but they THINK they are

[ripe obsidian]

I do not care for smite builds, but people ask for builds regularly, so I might as well make one

[strong gulch]

enfeeble the monster

[zealous wing]

i am 99% sure it was a joke

[calm lagoon]

I find them too be, it's free CC and helps ease crushers who cares

[zealous wing]

but i am autistic so who the fuck knows

[ripe obsidian]

My idea is to make the other node cause horde mobs to frenzy for a period of time based on peril, similar to Creeping Flames, and body-block elites and specials.

[strong gulch]

Yeah. might as well

They are gonna do it anyways

[calm lagoon]

IMO your a gimp if you block people for play style

[wind spruce]

You forgot damage and monstrosity damage and damage again

[zealous wing]

if im relying on dodging attacks as a zealot for more damage, or toughness regen, and they pause the horde im actively fighting, it helps neither them nor me

[calm lagoon]

Fair I fw it, leaning into the AOE of it

[ripe obsidian]

tbh I do think the toughness gen one is probably better. It's at least adding value to the team. An additional 20% damage on top of like 11 damage per tick is kinda nothing

[pale prairie]

I just leave if its that bad for smiting

[zealous wing]

and them pausing armour blobs is a fuckin gamble

[strong gulch]

If I have a smyker in my game, I personally prefer a shriek smyker to a SG smyker.

[zealous wing]

you never can tell when they're about to just let them go

[calm lagoon]

They ain't gonna attack you and if there's only one horde it's getting dealt with either way, go attack something else

[pale prairie]

bruh smykers aren't interested in that. they like the pretty lightning

[zealous wing]

go smite something else

[ripe obsidian]

I like leaning into the class identity, which I feel like Psyker doesn't do enough. I want to fuck with enemies' minds

[pale prairie]

agreed the vulnerable minds is just a meme on this build

[calm lagoon]

Letting zealots fight armours is a gamble you can never tell when they just fuck off with stealth

[ripe obsidian]

I just have no idea where to put it, ha

[zealous wing]

im a marty chorus zealot 😁

[calm lagoon]

Same argument for you I just think your a gimp but whatever

[calm lagoon]

Yeah but it's an equally weird statement too make when it's about stealth zealots

[strong gulch]

The they complain that they were left behind.

[calm lagoon]

The point is your argument is dumb

[zealous wing]

dont worry we fucking hate shroudfields too

[strong gulch]

Not all smite users are smykers.

[zealous wing]

and infiltrate vets

you know the kind

[pale prairie]

anticipation for dodges WHILE smiting?

[zealous wing]

aggrodumpers

[wind spruce]

@ripe obsidian puppet master is also based

Underrated talent

[calm lagoon]

I feel like with the way we are discussing it is does just generalise it

[ripe obsidian]

This is my current intro for Smite:

Smite

To quote Potato Today on the Darktide Discord:

“Smite can be a very strong tool. However...
Smite is often misused and has a big impact on other player's experiences. If it's used to perma stun enemies so people don't get to play and those enemies are CCed in a bad position or spread out or if you are slowing the team down by lagging behind just stunning stuff, people will leave the game, barrel you, not res you, etc. The CC also doesn't allow "on dodge" blessings and talents to function for you or your teammates. Parry is also out.
Because of the way Smite ticks and spreads, it's very good at getting the last bit of damage of an enemy's health even if other players did most of the damage. It also is an enabler for the rest of the psyker's kit and snowballs A LOT. So the way it scales in high density with little effort is absurd.
A lot of smite users also don't learn how to dodge or manage CC immune enemies.
A culture of lobby or mission dodging smykers has formed because of this.”

Don’t be the stereotype of a bad Smyker. Use it sparingly. Make use of LMB to quickly stun and push enemies. Don’t stand in one place holding RMB, waiting for a sniper to drop you or a stealthy Crusher to smash your skull. Don’t smite bosses, who are immune to your CC. Use your weapons to do damage and kill priority targets.

Note that Smite cannot crit. As a result, none of the builds below will have a focus on crit-based nodes. If you want to use something like Perfect Timing, you will need to stack it up with a different weapon before you start using Smite.

Smite + Shriek

Using Shriek can boost your damage immensely with Soulblaze and allow you to Smite for longer without needing to quell. Again, I highly recommend you do not stand still and hold RMB. Use Smite as a tool, not as the cornerstone of your build and playstyle.

[zealous wing]

smykers means, people who think smite is their only tool

they think its all powerful and everyone will bow down to them for saving them

[calm lagoon]

I think every blitz and ability has value and in a game like this kill counts don't matter

[zealous wing]

from the 5 poxxers

[strong gulch]

No. We mean specifically smykers. Again. The ones who smite all of the time nonstop.

[zealous wing]

its not about kill count its about fun

[rancid jasper]

i feel like one of the most reliable things to look for in a good smyker is how often they make use of the force push.
a bad smyker tends to ignore it, a good smyker tends to make strategic use of it.

[zealous wing]

pausing the entire mission isnt fun

[calm lagoon]

Some guy said it was about kill counts earlier and I'm like 90% sure they were serious

[ripe obsidian]

Is why I emphasized it in the intro

[cold ivy]

does smite work against blue stimm ragers in tox gas? cuz it feels like those guys have godmode on

[calm lagoon]

Use of smyker as a generalised statement for smite psyker so idk

[zealous wing]

@wind spruce were you joking about blocking people over kill counts?

the autistics in chat myself included would like to know

[wind spruce]

i would never joke about such a thing

[calm lagoon]

I don't think they said block more so that it's what you value in the game

[zealous wing]

lmao

jerk 😂

[wind spruce]

this is a very serious topic

[zealous wing]

so serious

[wind spruce]

[calm lagoon]

Gimp

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

[rancid jasper]

pretty sure they were joking

[zealous wing]

same here

[wind spruce]

(i was joking)

[calm lagoon]

Uhhh using it as immediate stun isn't the best use case IMO just dodge

[strong gulch]

Ye. Irosk is a funny one.

[cold ivy]

sometimes there is no space to dodge

[calm lagoon]

Like, realistically use an immediate CC

[rancid jasper]

is it just me who sometimes pretends to not understand a joke just to annoy people

[calm lagoon]

Smite isn't immediate CC at least it doesn't feel like it

[zealous wing]

it depends on how petty im feeling

[rancid jasper]

same

[calm lagoon]

Nah, I think purposeful malicious miscommunication just kinda sucks dick

[strong gulch]

234 time

[zealous wing]

insults from a child dont hurt, mutt

[calm lagoon]

Like at most the joke lasts a minute and your a dickhead for the other 20 minutes

[cold ivy]

there's one drop in cathedrum after the stairs where it feels like you get twins 75% of the time with no space to back up, and if there's also a rotten armor train in the same place i can see hard CC being very useful there

[wind spruce]

this is the height of humour

[zealous wing]

it really is

[calm lagoon]

Ok fair yet smite isn't reliable stun, if your not bringing shriek then idk

[zealous wing]

sometimes my spouse and i do it to eachother, its glorious

[wind spruce]

also calling things racist or sexist when someone mentions any colour, gender, etc

so funny

[calm lagoon]

What's your point here what

[zealous wing]

we do that too

youre 16, youre a child, and your insults are weak

[cold ivy]

the meta smite build is scrier's gaze isn't it

so you can smite literally forever

[zealous wing]

youre defaulting to dickhead and gimp

[calm lagoon]

I'm not making insults I'm like, saying how I view it

[zealous wing]

get creative

[calm lagoon]

Oh you meant this

[wind spruce]

the meta smite build is picking assail or brain rupture

[calm lagoon]

Idk I think it's a dick move, and gimps just funny

[zealous wing]

gimps are the zealots lets be real

[cold ivy]

i think those are meta assail/brain rupture builds!

[zealous wing]

have you SEEN the shit they wear

[calm lagoon]

I have my opinion that it's a dick move and gimp is a funny thing to call someone

[rancid jasper]

when yall say "dickhead" are you saying people have a dick for a head or they are the physical manifestation of the head of a dick? i've always wondered.

[calm lagoon]

Id imagine it came from like, Roman times or some shit

[rancid jasper]

richardhead

[calm lagoon]

Probably just a cultural reference passed down which lost its cultural connections yet kept the offense intended

[zealous wing]

does happen with english a lot

[rancid jasper]

howd you thonk react me 5 TIMES

[zealous wing]

you guys still have cobweb

but you dont use cobbe anymore

[calm lagoon]

People just say web usually

Cobweb has fallen out of the like, cultural lexicon

[calm lagoon]

5 different emojis with the same image

[wind spruce]

woah thats my actual name buddy

[calm lagoon]

At least that's my guess

[wind spruce]

have some respect

[rancid jasper]

but they all come through at the same time lol

[zealous wing]

speedrun

[calm lagoon]

Could just be some like

[modest perch]

we need an ogryn thonk emoji

[rancid jasper]

macro

[calm lagoon]

Not macro I'm forgetting the other thing

[zealous wing]

the number of thonk and thonk adjacent emoji i have is... unreasonable

[rancid jasper]

bind?

extension?

[zealous wing]

open emoji window, hold shift, and click emoji

[calm lagoon]

extension yeah

[zealous wing]

i use the app

its a base thing

you can also do it in basic messages to spam emoji

hahahaha

f

[calm lagoon]

How essential would y'all say the cleave bonus perk is to any build asides inferno staff builds

[ripe obsidian]

Smite added to the build guide.

Hey, it'll save you from having to come up with a Smite build next time someone asks

You can point them to the build, let them bask in my suffering.

[zealous wing]

thats what the other build you made is for

[ripe obsidian]

I have made so many builds these past couple weeks

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-upset-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith-gif-19823085

[zealous wing]

the trap one

[ripe obsidian]

I am honestly slightly worried that no one will use the guide and my work will be in vain

[ripe obsidian]

Ah. The elite killer.

[pale prairie]

I made my inferno build from yours

I just don’t use it

[zealous wing]

i am pretty sure my inferno build is the one you made like, day 1 or 2,

[calm lagoon]

Reasonably speaking your info on inferno staff helped me make my build

So not directly from your guide yet still the info is helpful

[ripe obsidian]

I am the Inferno King.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1004447866250613048/1295449409160478781/chiquichico-ezgif.com-instagif.gif

But I am glad I am helping people

[strong gulch]

Put it near the bottom so maybe they find something else along the way (but not at the bottom for less convenience).

[plucky flax]

Need 4 psykers team. Bubble knight + purge + rend trauma + gaze surge surge. Literally can't lose.

[calm lagoon]

"Yes king" - famous Christian group loveandlighttv, search them up on your family computer

[ripe obsidian]

It is currently the very last build in the guide

[calm lagoon]

Seers gaze buffs crit damage right or am I misremembering

[strong gulch]

1 person already has. So good work.

Though people will not look in the pins. We will tell them to look.

[calm lagoon]

My contribution to the darktide community is the king von build on veteran which is now outdated and that I'll update instead of doing college work😝

[ripe obsidian]

+10% weakspot damage and up to 30% finesse (crit/weakspot) damage if you take Precognition

[plucky flax]

My contribution is low quality meme.

[calm lagoon]

Alright thanks

[calm lagoon]

So basically I done more for the community than mister E, Tanner and Reginald combined obviously😝 😝

The king von build is the greatest contribution too darktide since the crafting update duh

[strong gulch]

There a subnode to SG called precognition that does increasing finesse damage.

[ripe obsidian]

I have seen some Psyker builds from those three. They sadden me.

[calm lagoon]

Tbf their work is meant too appeal too either like, casual players, sweats or people trying too get into the deep end respectively and for that they are good

My main issue with them personally is I just find Tanner annoying at times and mister E makes too many build videos yet not enough at the same time (and Ive seen maybe 2 Reginald videos so)

Like, mister E probably has a ton of build videos yet if there's anything niche I.e some shit like auto pistol, ranged zealot kr whatever then good luck finding it God knows I haven't

Which I feel like is something you gotta make if your focus is on build videos, you gotta make some fun dumb bullshit

I liked his martydom crusher build for example

[ripe obsidian]

I do like goofy builds

My goofiest build pre-tree rework was Definitely Not Zealot, which was a Psyker build that had basically no peril generation besides Scrier's Gaze, ran as fast as possible, and hit things with a sword

[long saddle]

I think ogryn is the only class I haven't really built for myself, because ogrynomicon was just very helpful

[calm lagoon]

My goofiest is probably just the arbite stacking up damage on reload/ranged with the cowboy revolver and being dogless

[ripe obsidian]

This is about as close as I can easily get to that build in 15 seconds of trying

[strong gulch]

I like goofy as well. Especially is it's framed that way and not as SUPER OP MEGA BROKEN etc.

I just can't with misinformation or something being egregiously wrong but spoken like the person knows what they are talking about.

Then people start talking in here about that thing and we have to spend time and energy correcting it.

[calm lagoon]

Listen listen listen, we all know the highest finesse damage in the game is chainswords special action attack

It's ok to be wrong buddy😝 😝

[ripe obsidian]

Man, I tried Evis for the first time today since the patch, and holy fuck the sawing attack feels so good now

[strong gulch]

Being wrong is one thing. Spreading the wrong to many is another.

[ripe obsidian]

I shall spread the wrong to the world.

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/water-spray-stop-sprinkle-water-gif-11895255

[calm lagoon]

What are you talking about😝 😝 (I feel like the biggest flaw is that a lot of dark tide youtubers have life's)

Like if they wanna post 3 times a day it's either steam clips or barely tested builds

[strong gulch]

This mildly feels like bait.

Time for bed.

[zealous wing]

gn beans

[ripe obsidian]

Debating whether or not to put this at the bottom of the guide with a title like, "Super Secret Elite Killer Melee Psyker"

[rancid jasper]

does smite enfeeble linger at all after you finish smiting or overload?

[ripe obsidian]

"Smite applies a debuff to enemies that increases their damage taken by 10%. The debuff benefits Smite itself and is being applied as long as the enemy is actively affected by Smite; stacks multiplicatively with other damage taken debuffs like Empyric Shock or Ogryn's Soften Them Up, Valuable Distraction or Veteran's Focus Target!, with damage buffs, and with power level buffs from weapon blessings. Does not stack with the same debuff applied by another Psyker."

[rancid jasper]

so, no.

[marsh badger]

you should add a part on to the smite description about stopping channeling it before your peril reaches 100% does a damaging knockback which consumes an EP charge

[viscid matrix]

Isn’t that a movement speed buff at the top right?

I woulda thought you would take all movement buffs as a melee build

[ripe obsidian]

Does that mean it uses 2 EP charges?

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, this build is intentionally bad. Do not use it

Hexis asked me to make a build that looks fine at first glance but actually sucks

[restive slate]

The more I look at it, the more hurt I get

[marsh badger]

it uses 1 when you start channeling and 1 when you let go

[ripe obsidian]

That seems... bad.

[ripe obsidian]

Then I have succeeded

[marsh badger]

its good if you have EP charges and want to be more effective

[gilded hare]

Rat's trauma staff build 🙏

[radiant frigate]

rodent gaming

[viscid matrix]

You repeat yourself in the guide a lot
Because every build is using some of the same nodes for the same reason

Might be better to have a list of all the passives and why they are good/bad

then not repeat it again for the build description

[zealous wing]

joins mission as ogryn at last room in transmission disc hourglass mission
still gets top damage

its uprising of course, because, baby ogryn, but still made me laugh how little there really is in uprising

[quartz barn]

Tbf that only looks at the time you were in the mission

But ye 61 enemies

[zealous wing]

it does? makes sense thinking about it but still funny

i would believe there being only 61 enemies on the map ngl

[viscid matrix]

It tracks damage that you see

As in it sees a invisible version of what we see in the psykanium

Fairly certain that’s why it’s not consistent

[wind spruce]

theres a bug in the original scoreboard mod that sometimes causes it to count overkill damage towards your actual damage done stat

makes trauma look like its doing a chunk more damage than it actually is bc it overkills so often

[viscid matrix]

A lot of things overkill
Kinda glad it has overkill damage as a stat in the mod

[wind spruce]

its always had overkill damage (well, for a long time)

[viscid matrix]

Yeh I haven’t used it since closer to launch

Before passive trees

[wind spruce]

but the bug is particularly aggregious with trauma because youre blue circling dozens of enemies at once for 1k+ that only have <500 health

[summer prairie]

iirc it counts overkill as normal damage if you one-shot and the target hasn't been staggered. It doesn't know unit hp until it takes damage or it is staggered

[wind spruce]

from my testing spawning 20 x 500 health shooters and one shotting them all at once with trauma the outcome was not consistent

[frail osprey]

Anyone got a good melee build for a psyker?

[marble crater]

There is Bubble Knight from AgentChaos in the build collection in the pins

[paper harbor]

Either bubble or Scrier gaze

Defense vs offense

[obtuse dome]

Gaze is insane dmg

[static sonnet]

I think I have mine set up like this if I remember. Probably not the best, just what I thought was fun on patch day. 8k+ damage headshot crits at full bore lol

Every time you max peril mag dump with assail and watch hordes liquify from all the cleave and crit.
Also using fgs of course

[cosmic cobalt]

why so many people use the 25 dd stack one fr

[wind spruce]

because its good

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah if you can maintain it consistently

[wind spruce]

yeah which is now very doable

[gray juniper]

Which depends on a lot of specific factors. If you’re pubbing with randoms like me you can do without but it is attainable

[wind spruce]

falls off a bit in high havoc bc of the crusher spam

[gray juniper]

The count kept disappearing from the stat bar and that really irked me. It may not be the same for others

[wind spruce]

i havent had that issue in a long time

but if ur on pc mods can fix that

[dusk timber]

It takes about 125 seconds to go from full stacks to 0 with 25 stacks

And with 10s duration 15 stacks is 150 seconds

[gray juniper]

Bruh what. You can’t take both perks

Oh never mind i understand what you said

[nocturne dust]

[gray juniper]

[nocturne dust]

Buff the duration node when

Gimme 120 seconds per stack

[gray juniper]

It’s early now and I spent time last night trying to understand if a good multiplayer open world survival mechanics game exists. It appears not to

[nocturne dust]

Well, yeah, multiplayer games suck

[gray juniper]

Darktide only kind of sucks and that’s because it has ~10 maps played ad nauseum

But it’s a suck I like

[nocturne dust]

My issue with survival games is they stop being about survival very quickly and then all the survival mechanics become annoyance mechanics

[gray juniper]

Ngl I got banned from the dayz server after a second mod showed up who was taking the critiques very personally lol

[dusk timber]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-wwe-eyebrows-gif-11854628

[gray juniper]

But it’s true and I’m not wrong. “Wow survival tinkering realism sim game with horror twist” no it’s walking simulator battle royal that takes days

[dusk wren]

survival in these games means you need to eat a chip and drink a cola once in a while

[gray juniper]

Everyone likes a good succ

https://tenor.com/view/lick-licking-lips-tongue-out-gif-22293670

[dusk wren]

food, temperature (if it's even present) and such survival aspects stop mattering 10 minutes in tho

[gray juniper]

Yea then it’s walking simulator

[dusk wren]

yeah, until dudebro ambushes you, kills you and repeat

[dusk timber]

I think grounded had a cool twist to the survival mechanics by making the food/drink items give you different buffs so they would still be relevant in the mid/lategame

Just in a different way

[gray juniper]

Which is like a waste of time in an experience compared to other games actually fit for the genre

Worse that most will sneak attack you even if they have wildly op gear. Whole game kind of unexciting except the cannibals running at you when you spawn

[gray juniper]

Pc players at least have some options. It’s not possible on ecksbawks and fallout type games very much aren’t for me. The “you’re in a sim game in the wilderness with weather, hunger, animals and disease” was very cool for the brief moment before the repetition and dullness of everything else set in

Talking about that one zawmbee gaym still

[dusk timber]

Grounded is on xbox too

[gray juniper]

Ok Ty I may have to try that

[dusk timber]

Its basically "honey i shrunk the kids: the game"

Or whatever is the english name of the movie where the scientist dad shrinks his kids to insect size

[gray juniper]

That’s the name in English. Well said

[velvet kettle]

Babe the kids are smol

[zealous wing]

thats a movie i havent seen in forever, and remember nothing about buit the basics

i do remember enjoying tho

[dusk timber]

I havent seen it either

But the premise is pretty much the same

Youre some teenager who got shrunk to the size of an ant and have to survive in someone's backyard

Also has up to 4 player co-op

[quartz barn]

Grounded 2 should release sometime soon as well

[dusk timber]

I mean

It literally just started early access

If youre talking actual 1.0 release thats still a long time away

[quartz barn]

Huh nvm then

Thought the announcement was for full release + been a long time since ive heard about it

Wouldve looked it up but am at work

[dusk timber]

Its still pretty early in development but it already has a lot of content available

Def much more content than the first game on day 1

[static sonnet]

You just have to take the bottom perk too. As turns the timer between kills from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. As long as you get one weakspot kill every 15 seconds you are maintaining. Im at 25 stacks pretty much every fight f0r the whole fight. Honestly maybe I'll download that buff uptime one I saw some use and see how it averages

[zealous wing]

fuckin memory leak crashes

that is all

[dusk timber]

Just use some flex tape

That should stop the leaks

[gray juniper]

Does anyone play arma reforger or know someone that does? It looks really good but I’m afraid of paying $40 and learning it’s a dead game of dead servers

I need newbies coming along with me too. I don’t want to be the last one

[dusk wren]

you can check the player count

with a 18k players peak in the last 24 hours, i'd say it's very much alive

[plucky flax]

More alive than dt

@summer prairie karien wants to carry us later when im back from work btw

[limpid comet]

Im newbie il join you

[summer prairie]

I'm working late so would have to be quite late

[plucky flax]

Working late in a first World country.

[summer prairie]

well I barely work, but I went work later and leaving later

[gray juniper]

Man I may buy it this month I’m still debating with myself 😂

[pastel bough]

what region? i'm west Aus, i love milsim but yea idk how popular it is

[marble crater]

I just blew up 2 minutes into a mission, because I was using my BG3 controller preset instead of Darktide

[gray juniper]

USA east

Or central

[white valley]

So-called psyker mains' pride when they blow up

[wraith sphinx]

how it feels to overload with inferno staff because you weren't paying attention to JAD racking up peril

[white valley]

Psyker mains who blow up are like veterans who don't block

[zealous wing]

not even close

[wraith sphinx]

I blow up 😔

[zealous wing]

literally everyone blows up

[wraith sphinx]

no no

only me

[white valley]

Psyker mains who blow up are like martyrdom zealots who get all of their wounds corrupted and then die instantly

[zealous wing]

i blew up like 4 times last match i did with psyker with potato

i would agree that thats mroe accurate, yes

[white valley]

Eh I blow up super infrequently these days

[zealous wing]

but YOU ADMIT

you DO

[white valley]

Sometimes it happens yes

Hilariously, easier to happen in easy missions

[zealous wing]

honestly

yeah

easy stuff makes you do far more stupid shit

[white valley]

Yep

[zealous wing]

the number of heresy missions i finished as a psyker with 4hp left is, ridiculous

gotta keep it interesting

[quartz barn]

Imagine fs brought the corrupted health on vent back

[zealous wing]

they did

if you use crystalline will

[quartz barn]

Hmm ok, i never use that so didnt know xd

[zealous wing]

yeah new bug

[quartz barn]

But on launch everyone had it

[zealous wing]

if you vent or SG to save yourself from overload, you get corrupted anyway

[quartz barn]

Mfw you had to flawless heresy+ because youd be at 1 hp by the end anyway

[wind spruce]

I blew up 3 times in a havoc 40 the other day because I hadn't played with a staff in 8 months

[gray juniper]

You could have a lot of class synergy with healthpack vet and purity zealot

[gray juniper]

The more overhwhlemed you are while staffing the more likely it is to happen

Don’t touch me vs 99% peril

[deft stump]

What is block? Dodge best friend cos blocking breaks CaB.

[marble crater]

Blocking makes me blind, force sword gameplay

[wind spruce]

Imagine not using clean force blocking mod

[steel flame]

Y'all would not survive vermintide

[marble crater]

I can't, you bully

[wind spruce]

Wait are you console

[marble crater]

Yes

[wind spruce]

And to think I respected you

[marble crater]

[wind spruce]

🤢

[icy breach]

[steel flame]

"Ooo look at me I'm an elf I don't need to block" dodge dodge dodge, BONK

[candid temple]

cheatmod

[patent mango]

the real strat is taking a mod that makes it harder for every mod that helps you

[wind spruce]

running healthbars mod but only for poxwalkers and groaners

[patent mango]

its peak

[weary crane]

https://youtu.be/qJ9S2tkMd2c?si=kyrRfK3np9c2HY9-&t=46

there was probably 6 layers of tox gas in this spot

[deft stump]

Zealot gameplay.

[steel flame]

"The zealot is horizontal!"

[steel flame]

So I did a whole bunch of testing with staff bonk and charged strikes

Very funny, can insta kill ragers with a bonk -> m1 combo

[graceful arch]

Needs more tox gas tbh

[rancid jasper]

Nuh uh, creeper build
Oh well this was a while ago mb

[royal totem]

When i get home im gonna give vet one more try

[steel flame]

@patent mango Too bad fat shark netcode is goddam ass and staff special attack animations desync

[patent mango]

yeah i reported lag affecting animations all the way since beta

they uh didnt fully fix it..............

[steel flame]

It's gotten worse actually

[patent mango]

fr? it was unplayable back then

[steel flame]

I can be starting a stab animation while 3/4 through a heavy sweep and then get locked into the stab that doesn't exist without being able to do anything

[patent mango]

maybe since no1 uses staff bonk it hasnt been playtested properly

that'd be funny

[steel flame]

Every goddam special attack is like that

It's even worse on the helbore bayonet

[patent mango]

its over........

i only get animation desync at like 150+ ping myself

[steel flame]

At least it's fun dream about how it should work....

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/lfa6pl9N1Ebn1peS8?invite=cr-MSxTdVksMjUyNjQ3MjMw&v=45

Shame this is fucking impossible to do in a match

Game just shuts down

sometimes i forget how busted DD is until im doing random testing again

nutty.

[wraith sphinx]

this really disrupts my destiny

[steel flame]

Still cant figure out why even a single stack of empyric shock increases the tick damage on charged strikes so much

[patent mango]

yeah idk stuff just works sometimes

[thorn cedar]

Yet they keep buffing it lmao

[wind spruce]

its still bad keep buffing please

[thorn cedar]

The first time I one shot headshot a Reaper with my laspis I was like hohoho okay

So this is allowed apparently!

And haven't stopped since.

Now that PT is global damage and Vulnerable Minds exists it's even easier to do actually

[steel flame]

I still miss DD shredder psyker

[wind spruce]

wtf no way

is that seriously possible

[thorn cedar]

yea

[wind spruce]

oh slow mark?

[thorn cedar]

nipe

mk1

[wind spruce]

WHAT

[thorn cedar]

1*

Fuck

MARK TWO

[wind spruce]

FAST MARK

[thorn cedar]

You gotta be pretty juiced up so it isn't just something you can draw and do

But it's achievable.

And it requires a crit ofc

[wind spruce]

699 damage with only unyielding perk

brb adding juice

[thorn cedar]

Scriers Precog + DD + Dumdum and probs MM as well

I never crunched to figure out exactly where the breakpoint is

[wind spruce]

sounds unfun and unhelpful tbh

[thorn cedar]

Yea cause it's like a little treat

I mean two shots to kill + infernus is already ridiculously good

So when they drop in one it's just a little salami for u

Cause it's by no means a sustainable breakpoint

So building for it is just kinda trolling

[wind spruce]

i just hit 2663 with perfect timing 20 something scriers stacks and 24 DD stacks

unyielding perk boss talent ranged damage node

[thorn cedar]

Boss talent?

Oh vuln minds

[wind spruce]

ya

[thorn cedar]

Hmmmmm

Maybe some auras were involved

Still missing Dumdum?

[wind spruce]

i cant remember if dumdum was active but ill report back

also have kinetic presence

[thorn cedar]

Already pretty funny to see it do 4x damage

[wind spruce]

ok i hit 3387

that was 30 stack scriers and high peril and dum dum

[thorn cedar]

Ok so I probs am just crazy

[steel flame]

Laspistols biggest plus is that not only is it's finesse damage and crit chance immense but that fuckin fire rate

[thorn cedar]

And they had taken some damage beforehand just not a lot

[wind spruce]

you'd probably need elite damage on the gun and some auras from other classes

[thorn cedar]

Laspees biggest plus is that it's instant draw and fire with knife mobility

[wind spruce]

but i didnt have MM active bc its hard to juggle all the buffs

[wind spruce]

nah cant even 1 shot reaper, garbage

[thorn cedar]

;_;

[steel flame]

This is why you use dumdum inferno

Still

Dumdum juices the fuck outta that burn

Sad fire ticks no longer stack dumdum

[wind spruce]

GOOD POINT

IM NOT USING RAKING FIRE

we can do this @thorn cedar

[thorn cedar]

I mean u were still missing MM too so

But you'd need targets to Assail in your test

[gray juniper]

Laser pistol is lowkey on par with the recon and I’d argue it’s better because accuracy

[thorn cedar]

Like I said this is not a sustainable breakpoint lmao

[steel flame]

Oh it's way better

[wind spruce]

easier to use charged strike to pump MM

[thorn cedar]

But when you're on fire you're insane.

[wind spruce]

thats besides the point

[thorn cedar]

Also I do not put laspee and recon in the same category at all. Both are super good but one is much more aggro and the other more defensive and forgiving.

You can reload the recon faster than the laspee in fact

[steel flame]

God I wish las pistol got run and gun. Mk 10 would be godlike

[thorn cedar]

And rapid fire rate + big mag means reliable EE procs when you need it

[gray juniper]

No offense intended but this is why I don’t like copying certain trees and my own stuff diverges in it’s direction it does. I like to flow with the fighting as it is and not have to consciously consider every step of what I’m doing

[thorn cedar]

Laspee used to have run n gun baked in ;_;

[wind spruce]

recon is easy king

but las pistol so fun and fluid

[gray juniper]

Hence MM is great imo and I can’t be shaken from that remark

[thorn cedar]

Malefic Momentim or Mind in Motion

Cause nobody questions MM

[gray juniper]

Melodic

[thorn cedar]

But everyone questions MiM

[gray juniper]

Malefic

[thorn cedar]

Because they are fools blinded by distrust

[wind spruce]

do you mean re the reaper breakpointts?

[steel flame]

I've been using laspistol psyker since beta, shits always been lit, it just wasnt cool yet

[gray juniper]

Nah like how I set up my right side play styles etc. I don’t want it to look like somebody else’s meta. It’s for me being comfy

[wind spruce]

first week of scriers existing i was running las pistol scriers and laughing manically at being ranged immune

wait who questions malefic

that shit is busted lol

you dont need a whole lot to proc it

[gray juniper]

Everyone has a habit of aversion to this talent but forget it was because where it was placed in the tree. It’s a damn zero tax node on many potential builds

[wind spruce]

if you cant assail one thing every 8s youre a lost cause

[patent mango]

this is so sad can we delete mind in motion

[thorn cedar]

Some builds don't really bounce between warp and nonwarp

[zealous wing]

MiM is questioned, by me at least, because for most weapons, a slide is enough to get through at least one phase of a reload

same for quelling

[gray juniper]

Request accepted. Your deletion is in the queue

[wind spruce]

why is my writing red 😮

[zealous wing]

it doesnt let you sprint, yet, right? its still just walk instead of slow asf meander?

[deft stump]

You mean, forget to hit things with something that isn't warp.

[wind spruce]

ewwwwwwww

[gray juniper]

What happened to Irosk? Did he get banned?

[zealous wing]

😔

[gray juniper]

His messages are gone all the sudden

[wraith sphinx]

He's still here?

[gray juniper]

Oh well. He was a tool anyway

[thorn cedar]

rip irosk he flew too close to the truth

[wind spruce]

😭

[gray juniper]

[wind spruce]

u had me for a second

almost unalived myself

[zealous wing]

damn

[gray juniper]

I’m sorry fam

But I luled

[wind spruce]

do not apologise

excellent humour words they were

[royal totem]

Anybody want to gimme a vet build?

[wind spruce]

ill cut you

[zealous wing]

i could give ya mine but i guarentee its ass, probably, havent played with vet yet

[royal totem]

i dont visit antwhere besides psyker chat

[wind spruce]

ok understandable

[zealous wing]

i fear going to ogryn chat

so im just going to roll with whatever pain i get

[thorn cedar]

And yes I understand you can slide quell but consider that quelling is not a fixed anim and that simply tapping quell for less than a second gets you your Assail shard available without locking you into a slide or costing you two dodges and I cannot give it up ever

[ripe obsidian]

I repeat myself so people can jump to a section and read it without reading the rest

[zealous wing]

but how does walking slightly faster help? genuine question

[thorn cedar]

More control = more kill

Idk I'll stream later when I get back

[steel flame]

#psyker-class message

[thorn cedar]

Slide quell still has its place even with MiM

[radiant frigate]

#FREECLAD

[steel flame]

[wind spruce]

i dodge in the direction i want to travel if i dont want to lock myself into a slide

[wind spruce]

doing it for you ❤️

[ripe obsidian]

Better to sprint-slide forward and panic-dash backward when a crusher walks around the corner

[zealous wing]

fuckin brunt's servitor, its not giving my oggy any toughness curios >:(

[steel flame]

Eh effective dodging is overrated. I play every mission of blazing spirit trauma with -7 dodges

[zealous wing]

melk gave me an HP curio at least to fill the 3rd slot for now but

[steel flame]

They cant even touch me

[ripe obsidian]

You should see my Zealot dodge talent uptimes. They're abysmal

[zealous wing]

LMAO

fuckin glorious

[royal totem]

Just gamble by buying melks unknown defensive curios

[wind spruce]

i did that the other day and got exactly what i wanted

only had to spend 22000 melk bucks

[royal totem]

Yeesh

Id play with Irosk but i think im not good enough.

[wind spruce]

no one is

[thorn cedar]

Yea what else are you gonna do with them anyway

[radiant frigate]

i wonder if melkbucks was a term before i dreamed it up

[wind spruce]

(bc i need to be carried so bad)

[radiant frigate]

but either way it is official now

[wind spruce]

its been a term for ages

[ripe obsidian]

Melk money, to play on "milk money"

[wind spruce]

well maybe thats just my aussie twist

[radiant frigate]

it has also been ages since i dreamed it up

[proper spoke]

Great minds think alike

[wind spruce]

enfeeble doesnt effect EK, right?

[radiant frigate]

source? it was once revealed to me in a dream

[ripe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-source-i-made-it-up-sauce-take-that-gif-26625795

[radiant frigate]

i believeth nay

[royal totem]

@wind spruce i still blow up sometimes

[marble crater]

It doesn't

[radiant frigate]

because at one point EP affected it because it was a type of smite

oopsie daisy

[wind spruce]

i blew up 3 times in havoc 40 the other day

[quartz barn]

I only really blow up when using blaze trauma

[ripe obsidian]

"Any source that may apply an electrocution effect to enemies but is not Smite or Charged Strike will not proc Enfeeble."

[quartz barn]

Mainly because i always shriek while overloading

[wind spruce]

quoting your own guide, legend?

[quartz barn]

But then my shriek is still on cd

[ripe obsidian]

Quoting Kuli

[wind spruce]

boo

quote six next time pls

[ripe obsidian]

Kuli's guides are more valuable than mine. D:

[quartz barn]

Can you see how much traction your own guides get?

[thorn cedar]

Kuli is an industry giant

[ripe obsidian]

I would need to check if Google Docs has any sort of stats page.

[radiant frigate]

who is kuli

I guess youll only truly know when some yt poser uses it with a "NEW META - INSANE DMG" title and you find pubs running it a few days later

[radiant frigate]

I run a wound curio. A stam curio. And a toughness.

Someone who spends a lot of time digging through the code and translating it for mortal minds.

[radiant frigate]

i kneel before this legend

[wind spruce]

45% crit chance melee weapons are just too based

[radiant frigate]

that's just epic

[wind spruce]

its just too cool not to run two crit blessings

[royal totem]

Im using purgatus and knife so i have no excuse for exploding

[radiant frigate]

critical strikes are fantastic i want to critically strike all the time

[thorn cedar]

woosh woosh get critted get critted

[radiant frigate]

I keep forgetting Kat and I are mortal enemies

[radiant frigate]

we're not, but you are a heretic in the eyes of the FGS cult

there are worse things to be

plus, you can still repent

redemption is not out of reach

[thorn cedar]

Walking into work on my day off to use the printer to print out my resume for a new job lmao

[radiant frigate]

king shit

[royal totem]

Power move

[thorn cedar]

I still really enjoy being a barista but wow I am just so very tired of Starbucks.

I'm pretty lucky really. I live life on the cheap so basically any job will do me just fine. But it still sucks to have to leave a place you worked at for almost five years because of the decisions of people who have never fucking worked the same floor as you and who you'll never meet.

Whom you'll never meet? Whichever

[royal totem]

Fair fair.

I live very expensive life. Thanks to some health issues etc

[thorn cedar]

If I gave up smoking I'd basically be a millionaire lmao

Never smoke kids it is SHIT

Is your health issue expensive or is it being an American

Both lol

Quick feedback: unless you have another Psyker using Soulblaze, there is currently no source thereof to proc In Fire Reborn

You should get that checked out by a doctor

It's totally f

[cosmic cobalt]

holy shit chainsword goes hard with smite

[white sky]

Does special work with heavy electrocution or something?

[cosmic cobalt]

no

charged strike

it still have respectable single target and the horde clear is mega amped up

[white sky]

Elaborate for me for a sec

Like in connection with Charged Strike?

[dusky trail]

Lel, I must have miss clicked. Ty

[cosmic cobalt]

holdon

for some reason steam recording not working bruh

i quit a dev job once by remoting into my office pc while a coworker was looking for a file on it and he called me freaking out cause he just watched me for 5 minutes typing up my resignation in outlook and sending it

[gray juniper]

AND AND

N
D
for some of us the input drop between those 2-3 motions is more risky than simply having increase movement speed at all times from a perk rather than if the game is going to allow me three good rolls on it saying I dodged in time, ran in time, slid in time or the alternative that I get stun locked by a poxwalker backstab and do a micro rubber band

[royal totem]

Im switching to MiM 😏

[gray juniper]

You’ll never be without motion

[cosmic cobalt]

@white sky

[ripe obsidian]

I have heard from at least one playtester that Charged Strikes might not be working as intended.

[cosmic cobalt]

might as well enjoy it while it last

[ripe obsidian]

So brace for potential nerfs/fixes.

[royal totem]

I should be glad nobody has tormented me by throwing me into h40

[cosmic cobalt]

its fun when it work

[scenic quartz]

is there a bug making uncanny strike lvl 1 better than 4 on deimos sword?

[royal totem]

I remember once i got baited. Theu advertised havoc 21-25 then did havoc 16

[scenic quartz]

ive seen it on some psykers in h40 now

[thorn cedar]

Tbh they probably will leave it or if it is 'fixed' it will be as a consequence of something else changing and won't be deliberate.

It's not so broken a combo as to wreck lobbies and it's still a high investment with very limited loadout availability.

Like yeah it's funny to see Charged Strikes doing literally anything useful at all for a change but it's still less than not taking Charged Strikes would do and just taking DD.

[young cliff]

Question: what do you run for EK staffs?now I'm learning of using more the LMB of it and the blessing that shoot 2 bullets per crit and I want to know what styles are for using that weapon.

[bright summit]

Surge is a good blessing

The guide six made has a lot of general pointers to building with different abilities

[white sky]

Id be willing to give that a try tbh, thank you lol

What'd you dump on CS?

[cosmic cobalt]

mobility

[white sky]

Tyty

[cosmic cobalt]

zealot main in shambles

[white sky]

iirc it was mobi or shredder, just wasn't sure which

[cosmic cobalt]

shredder affect your special attack

[white sky]

Ik

You running enfeeble too or nah?

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah

[white sky]

Ty again

Is DT borked enough for this to count as smite kills?

[cosmic cobalt]

yes

it count as warp attack

man i wish crusher push attack have hitbox prioritisation

[white sky]

Oh hell yeah lol

[white sky]

How tall is your character?

You look shorter

Might just be ragers tho

[median furnace]

I've seen the opposite happen where I thought I was joining a Havoc 1-10, thinking I'd help a newbie, but then they tried doing a Havoc 21, I didn't want to try carrying someone that low clearance level through a 21 so I declined, but they kept doing it, even after I told them their lobby description is incorrect.
They even remade the lobby exactly the same as last time with the same error.

Clearly it was a lvl 1 player and their buddy trying to catfish people into carrying the lvl 1 and skipping the Havoc progression.

[royal totem]

Ive never personally seen it but heard of it

[ripe obsidian]

And I am open to feedback to improve anything I messed up on or missed

[thorn cedar]

Q: why are u afraid of Seven

[ripe obsidian]

I have seen horrible things.

[marble crater]

Why are the Gondians in the prison so stupid? I tried to save them all for hours and some of them always path wrong and don't escape

[cosmic cobalt]

ok it still kinda suck shit

[ripe obsidian]

They don't want to be saved

[marble crater]

Yeah, I think I will stop now, saving everyone except for 2 who ran into a wall instead of closer to the ladder is good enough

[pale prairie]

A certain mindflayer is helpful

[ripe obsidian]

You can only help those who will take it

[marble crater]

He can only teleport one

[icy breach]

Or abuse scrolls like that planar door

[pale prairie]

And scrolls

Hasting your own characters helps. I also usually save some haste spore pods for this cause you can leave a cloud that Allie’s can run through.

[marble crater]

Freeing them all in time isn't the problem, the NPCs running into walls instead of to the ladder is

[bright summit]

Imo DDs are worth a def mention for ek, the finesse and crit boosts are incredible scaling

Its like, a lot worse in current havocs because rotten armor and purple but if you don't have those modifiers it's definitely super playable

[ripe obsidian]

I can mention it. Probably better for SG than Shriek, I imagine

One day they might fix EK's crit scaling. One day.

[white valley]

Shriek more like Shrek

[marble crater]

Shriek is love

[ripe obsidian]

Is Shrek a Psyker?

[pale prairie]

No he’s an ogre

[plucky flax]

Green ogre new premium cosmetic.

[pale prairie]

Ogryn can’t be Psykers silly

[plucky flax]

I heard there's a grey ogre.

With psychic power.

[thorn cedar]

"Fix?"

What are DDs?

[thorn cedar]

deez duts

disrupt destiny

[royal totem]

Ahh

[pale prairie]

Six believes he found an error in the code that means the EK critical bonus damage is not being applied to I think RMB

[novel apex]

When using the flame staff if I get some burns stacks up on whatever is in front of me then get my stacks of uncanny up does the rending apply to dots already up or do I need to reapply them? if that question makes sense lol

[royal totem]

Ahhh

[thorn cedar]

The rending will apply.

[ripe obsidian]

Aye

[novel apex]

thanks

[strong gulch]

DoTs, including SB, actively take on buffs. So whatever rending buff you have up will apply to the DoT. It doesn't snapshot.

Its better than inferno and trauma

[icy breach]

Underrated is a better word

[royal totem]

Source-a random on reddit

[strong gulch]

EK is great for maels and auric.

[pale prairie]

Goddamn essay

[royal totem]

Incorrect. Its the best in havoc according to a redditor 😏

[pale prairie]

Reddit is the short bus of Darktide and they must be protected

[icy breach]

Reddit; first and only mistake - i’ve seen soo many L takes on that site i wanna coach these pepegas so they don’t spew out nonsense

[strong gulch]

sry it was me

[royal totem]

Btw. I AM joking

I just think reddit takes are hilarious

[ripe obsidian]

EK didn't lose as hard as Voidstrike did with enemy HP increases

Poor Voidstrike

[pale prairie]

Yes

The bowling ball.

First they came for the true aim change and I said nothing…..

[royal totem]

I agree but i dont think its the BEST regardless

[strong gulch]

Imagine if EK RMB was as slow as VS RMB.

[pale prairie]

Imagine the lightning staff being fucking slow

[pale prairie]

It isn’t but solely because of inferno infinite cleave into high density

[royal totem]

Yeah.....

[ripe obsidian]

Nah, Inferno > Voidblast > EK >>> Voidstrike for Havoc

[royal totem]

Agree

[ripe obsidian]

Imagine pain.

[royal totem]

Imagine if ek rmb did 3x damage to crushers

[strong gulch]

Worse than what makes me walk with a cane.

[ripe obsidian]

I meant the pain of EK taking 1.6 seconds to do anything

[strong gulch]

Yes

[ripe obsidian]

Voidstrike can't even consistently kill elites with a fully charged RMB in Auric since the HP increases. It's so bad.

[strong gulch]

RIP VS enjoyers.

[thorn cedar]

looking at my resume is fucking horrifying

[strong gulch]

EK is at least fast.

[thorn cedar]

how was 'that one summer job' almost ten years ago

feels like it was just two

i fucken hate u temporal reality

-hits joint-

[ripe obsidian]

I'm still using it. Just treating it kinda like I'm a plasma gun veteran. Swapping to Assail and FGS a lot.

[marble crater]

He ran away from the ladder while standing directly in front of it

[strong gulch]

uh oh

[marble crater]

These Gondians, I can't wait for my evil playthrough

[thorn cedar]

speaking of ladders i kept getting a weird bug in cyberpunk where id be minding my own business in an area before i am suddenly teleported onto and climbing a ladder that could be in the same room as me or even hundreds of meters away

it is incredibly disorientating

i did a mega-jump and triggered my air kerenzikov in combat just to suddenly be facing a wall and gripping a ladder that was OUTSIDE the building i was fighting in and it took me a solid 15 seconds to make sense of what the hell just happened

[marble crater]

I can say with absolute confidence, that I never had that happen, sounds annoying

[thorn cedar]

its happening more and more

i can only assume its either because of the newer updates or it relates to the length of my game file

[fading escarp]

Never had this

But my car sinking in the ground after i call it
This was the worst one

Not a big deal anyway
Airdash is fast enough

[thorn cedar]

the car stuff to me is really funny

since like, worst case scenario, your car explodes and costs you maybe 300 eddies to fix lmao

i love when you call it and all you see is it falling out of the sky somewhere in the distance

[marble crater]

Never had that either

I managed to rescue everyone

[ripe obsidian]

How many tries?

[marble crater]

Too many

[strong gulch]

Oh this place.

[marble crater]

A few to figure out who to send where and who to haste and then the rest was dealing with annoying pathing from NPCs, this time I made really sure none of my characters are anywhere close to the path they will take

[marble crater]

Yes, that fucking place

[marble crater]

Maybe I should block the way to the last ladder with one of my characters and then when they are close to freedom I will throw a fireball into them all, sounds like a plan for the evil playthrough

[kind jay]

use them as an improvised weapon on eachother

[marble crater]

[hollow jolt]

oh THAT place

I respec'd and bought scrolls to speedrun that place lol

[wind spruce]

If only true aim was still per hit so you could prime surge consistently with assail

[wraith sphinx]

lmao haven't seen this line before

[royal totem]

What map dat from

[wraith sphinx]

four monkeys go to a circus

[zealous wing]

event ends in 14 hours, anyone need it done?

[ornate hamlet]

[royal totem]

Oh.

I find all the chats about Wolfer being an overcompensator hilarious

[wraith sphinx]

words cannot describe how much he hates us by now and I love it

[ripe obsidian]

Wolfer is bad at his job

[zealous wing]

by the time we get to fight him he gonna be so big mad

and probably half dead from the cult

[ripe obsidian]

Also, why the fuck was his army only 50,000 people to fight for an entire fucking planet

[zealous wing]

was probably just a very specific area to fight, rather than the entirety of the planet at once, or, his whoeverthefuckisincharge pulled a morrows whoeverthefuckincharge

(blood must flow)

[ripe obsidian]

James Workshop doesn't know how numbers work

This isn't unique to Darktide

They've had entire, like, galactic campaigns with fewer soldiers than a single WWII battle

[marble crater]

What will I play after it's done?

[white sky]

That meme always ties back to Vraks fwiw

Which was like, a hive

Which is also what we're fighting over rn iirc

[zealous wing]

the next event in like a week

probably

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean 50k and tons of birmingham citizen

[zealous wing]

they dont seem to have large breaks between events

place your bets tho, what do you think the next event will be, or at least related to

last three are rotten armour, barrels, plasma

[ripe obsidian]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o41ypXAnhtQ&pp=0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD

I think this cutscene is what I am referencing. I will check after my meeting ends

[white sky]

Nah I mean the "less soldiers than ww2" thing

[marble crater]

I need the fire event again please

[white sky]

People always say that in reference to the Siege of Vraks

[ripe obsidian]

Invisible enemies.

[white sky]

Which is a really old out of print tabletop campaign

[zealous wing]

maybe we'll finally get the dreg maulers loner keeps talking about

[marble crater]

Who needs spidey sense anyway

[white sky]

Wdym?

[marble crater]

Loner is confused

[zealous wing]

"dreg mauler, there!"
is a scab mauler

[marble crater]

Huffing too much warp

[white sky]

Oh that, yeah

[lethal swan]

Is dueling sword carapace/unyielding uncanny strike/thrust on the Psyker?

[ripe obsidian]

I do not know enough 40k lore to contribute more

[marble crater]

I thought Vraks is a gun

[white sky]

Pattern of gun

Guns are normally named after the planet that makes them

Vraksian Autoguns are Autoguns made on the manufacturing world of Vraks

[marble crater]

[zealous wing]

same with atrox axes

[white sky]

Agripinaa autoguns are made on the forgeworld of agripinaa

[marble crater]

Where are Voidblast staves made?

[lethal folio]

Equinox

[zealous wing]

the void, duh

[royal totem]

If the scabs were only 50k, should be long woiped out by noe

[zealous wing]

and most of them died

in the ambush

[white sky]

Couldn't tell you, not in the name. Would assume Branx Major makes em in DT tbh

Unless there's a nearby forgeworld

[marble crater]

[white sky]

Does it say that in the name and I'm missing it?

Yeah, it do

So yeah they're made on Equinox

[marble crater]

So if that planet does a Cadia, are there just no voidblast staves anymore?

[royal totem]

We are very good at killing

[white sky]

Empire of millions of worlds

All with tithes

[zealous wing]

it wasnt us i think

[white sky]

That specific make would be rare, but not the staff

[zealous wing]

it was whoever they were fighting before they met nurgle or whoever it was

[royal totem]

Oh. The ambush in cutscene. No not us

[zealous wing]

ye

[lethal folio]

The STC pattern continues

[white sky]

Aye

[royal totem]

Thought you meant we murdered lots in the Dark Communion ambush

[marble crater]

So the Equinox is the Gigabyte of GPUs and there will be Voidblast staves from other planets?

[white sky]

Yes

[zealous wing]

to be honest, if we follow the story line, in the new difficulty progression, we dont canonically kill too many

[white sky]

Same basic architecture, minor tweaks by manufacturom

Kinda like how Atoman Russes Are Good™ cause of the metal

But plenty of worlds out there are making the Leman Russ Battle Tank.

[royal totem]

Womp womp. Need to kill more scabs

[wraith sphinx]

LOL NO WAY

I GOT THIS DOING EVENT MISSIONS ON AURIC

[marble crater]

[wraith sphinx]

it's peak 🥲

[marble crater]

They grow up so fast

[wraith sphinx]

(actually the slowest learner in this entire discord like a boss)

fuck it, gonna grind the remaining 5 on malice for the frame

[marble crater]

Joins game in progress, goes down to DH and Beast of Nurgle who are 1m away, rest of the team is dead or trapped

[wraith sphinx]

true

[zealous wing]

want me to join you as tauntgryn? keep things off you?

[royal totem]

I love when youre called into a game to clutch

[wraith sphinx]

sorry pookie I already got a stronger ogryn than you

[zealous wing]

ah youre playing oggy?

[wraith sphinx]

no
