seee?

#

least damage

ripe obsidian
#

I can give you a shriek psyker scoreboard like that

#

something like 2.4m on me and 600k on everyone else

deft stump
ripe obsidian
#

Syllogism is not human

royal totem
#

and damage only important stat :3

deft stump
#

The one time I did more damage than someone, was cos they were REALLY bad or straight AFKing half the run.

restive stag
#

peril

deft stump
#

You could say 300 ping and preferences to lower damage light spammy weapons affect it, but still.

hazy birch
#

Thank you

#

Which is the best stat to prioritize while leveling?

#

I went damage on one and it didn't do much

deft stump
#

It's RNG on lvl.

#

You can only see the current and max stat.

rain wren
#

Yeah all you know is it will all be finished at level 500

#

And what ever stats you decide to dump will be 60 and the rest 80 when done

hazy birch
#

Yea I mean should I be prioritizing damage or burn

deft stump
#

Seriously.

royal totem
#

gosh gunners are so scary >.>

plucky flax
deft stump
#

Brain fog real.

#

Also, hi Chaos.

plucky flax
#

Oh hai

summer prairie
#

Nice of you not to finish that map yet

deft stump
plucky flax
#

Thanks.

deft stump
#

Already smelling burning things.

summer prairie
#

I'd rather bonk

plucky flax
#

It's actually the hardest map I've played.

#

Too many narrow hallways for big chonky bois.

restive stag
#

need to learn how to properly gunker

hazy birch
deft stump
#

You literally only know current and max.

hazy birch
#

Like my current staff has 52 damage but only 35 burn

deft stump
#

Yes, the lvling is pure random.

hazy birch
#

I can roll more or just look for better stats

deft stump
#

Or just keep it since it'll max out anyway.

hazy birch
deft stump
#

If you aren't rushing aurics, it really doesn't matter.

hazy birch
#

im just trying to feel more powerful while leveling. feeling pretty limp right now

deft stump
#

You can even basically do malice with the starter gear stats.

hazy birch
#

I tried one and I did jack shit for damage

deft stump
hazy birch
#

Died like 10x trying to kill hordes

deft stump
#

It shines in auric and havoc.

#

On lower diffs, just Assail or melee.

royal totem
#

EK stafff is better in lower level i feel

#

but that's personal opinion

hazy birch
#

Why would it do better in higher diffs?

deft stump
#

You don't have the horde density to do stuff.

hazy birch
#

Oh

#

Ek is just so.. Shit

deft stump
#

Inferno scales with number of shit on the screen.

royal totem
#

EK is really good

#

what you talking about

ripe obsidian
deft stump
#

More shit, more damage.

hazy birch
#

It just feels bad to use

#

So much peril and damage feels mediocre

#

Can't hit as many things

deft stump
royal totem
#

not in malice though really

deft stump
#

It just needs to do more to compensate for how expensive perilwise.

#

Or just lmb I guess.

royal totem
#

i just lmb

#

and shriek

hazy birch
#

i been running scriers

deft stump
royal totem
#

i need to sleep

zealous wing
#

o7

strong gulch
#

kk

royal totem
#

it's 12:22am here

deft stump
#

Unless you purely take advantage of the 10 sec 100% peril well.

ripe obsidian
#

Snooze away

hazy birch
#

really? would have thought it would be nuking shit with inferno

royal totem
#

and if i don't sleep, bad things may happen

strong gulch
#

I didn't really sleep and yeah bad things did happen

deft stump
#

Vent is better for purga.

bright summit
hazy birch
#

πŸ€”

deft stump
#

More stacks outright so they burn faster.

strong gulch
#

EK shriek strong

deft stump
#

Pair with an uncanny melee.

strong gulch
#

EK SG strong

#

EK bubble bad

hazy birch
#

ah ok.

strong gulch
#

staves while leveling bad

deft stump
#

Just run assail vent.

#

Vent in case of newbie fuck ups.

hazy birch
#

not really a "newbie". played a year ago. i just forgot so much and they changed a bit since i played.

strong gulch
#

If you want to use a staff while leveling, go for it.

BUT staves have pretty hard scaling, so they are shit at lower level / investment; and psyker needs basically all of their talents.

deft stump
#

Can do SG as well, but you need to watch peril better.

hazy birch
#

like back then i feel like inferno felt better early. may be misremembering

#

also could have been different stuff happening in the tree. idk

deft stump
#

Inferno still busted, but as said, need horde density.

#

You aren't getting that outside of havoc and aurics.

strong gulch
#

8 seconds to kill 50 enemies or 1 with inferno.

other classes have more frontloaded damage now

royal totem
#

Karien

strong gulch
#

so less time to cook things

deft stump
#

Maybe very unlucky damnation runs.

royal totem
#

How do i be good at this game

#

I got thrown to death by a chaos spawn πŸ™

ripe obsidian
strong gulch
#

I also died to a chaos spawn.

deft stump
strong gulch
#

well, I also parried it at 100% peril

#

lol

deft stump
#

PANIC, THROW EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.

royal totem
#

It threw me to a ledge and my teammates couldnt save me

deft stump
#

How to parry?

royal totem
deft stump
strong gulch
#

Parry peril shouldn't kill you imo. The damage buff should just stop.

royal totem
#

Im too unskilled πŸ™

deft stump
royal totem
#

I should have prayered the chaos spawn off the cliff

deft stump
#

So you have that 3% peril safety net.

ripe obsidian
deft stump
#

Or whatever it is that true peril shows you.

royal totem
deft stump
ripe obsidian
#

Vet feels unforgiving to play. One mistake and you're ded.

deft stump
#

Have you seen my self builds?

deft stump
#

Your toughness drops below 75%? RIP.

restive stag
#

so what r the good gunker guns

ripe obsidian
royal totem
#

Recon lasgun

#

Las pistol

ripe obsidian
#

Which is why basic shooters are 90% of my deaths

deft stump
restive stag
#

alright thanks

royal totem
#

I should have gone prayer bot

deft stump
strong gulch
deft stump
#

I pushed dog 4 times, still got dogged.

heavy hamlet
#

How is bolt pistol on gunker?

royal totem
#

I dont do much damage as prayer bot so i rely on team being good

ripe obsidian
#

Vet feels cool to play until you get touched, then it's desperately hoping Shout is off cooldown

deft stump
#

I stabbed a dog in the head 7 times before it died.

#

This is just auric hp.

#

2 hits should kill.

ripe obsidian
heavy hamlet
deft stump
royal totem
deft stump
#

So, Shrugs.

deft stump
royal totem
#

If theyre really bad then nothing dies

deft stump
#

I mean I'm doing like 500k tops so book and auras.

#

10% crit for all, funni shield of contempt, damage on book, beacon.

royal totem
#

Shield of contempt?

deft stump
#

Yes. It helped, somewhat.

royal totem
#

I think im just bad at game

#

I dont do enough damage

deft stump
#

60% DR on getting hit.

#

Lasts 6 secs on like a 10 sec CD or so.

wet belfry
#

Shield of contempt is not as good as you would think

#

It triggers when any ally takes any damage, then enters on a 10 sec cd

#

Inconsistent when it gets used

deft stump
#

You know where all the procs end up.

#

This is H40.

#

It needs a buff, but yeah.

heavy hamlet
#

Also what is laspistol dump stat? i see stability/mobility debate

deft stump
#

Cos heavy mark has actual recoil.

royal totem
#

Anyways. Karien has seen my low damage numbers now

deft stump
#

HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN MY 150K TO 500K H40???

ripe obsidian
deft stump
#

CHAOS PLZ SHOW.

heavy hamlet
deft stump
#

You can safely just dump mobility tbh.

royal totem
#

This is why i cant clear h40. My damage too low.

deft stump
#

It won't matter as much as you think.

royal totem
#

Need to do 1.8m

deft stump
#

Someone doesn't get it.

royal totem
#

Ppl say h40 needs damage though πŸ™

summer prairie
#

Carry is the most important stat, it's either 1 or 0

graceful arch
#

the first drop down on oubliette is a classic example

summer prairie
#

if the map has room to maneuver, don't need that much damage

graceful arch
summer prairie
#

the safest way to do that drop may be to have someone drop down and get sacrificed while the others deal with everything above

#

that wasn't a reply to you and I wrote it at the same time

graceful arch
austere warren
#

How exactly are people even doing this silly smite stuff?

#

EP and scrier?

summer prairie
#

the safest way is to deal with it huh

graceful arch
#

perma smite?

royal totem
#

Healing captain+monstrosity is sadness though

graceful arch
# austere warren EP and scrier?

this is probably pretty standard for smite i think there is a version that uses warp siphon instead of psionics but i'm not a smite user

#

some run battle med for more uptime when sg is down but it will be nearly perma up anyways

ripe obsidian
#

There are smite builds in the pinned build guide.

#

@summer prairie do you know if cranial has a lower cost to the director than other Havoc modifiers? I swear I get way more crushers and trickle hordes in cranial + rot than purple + rot

summer prairie
#

Highly unlikely, haven't looked at it since it was added but it would have been mentioned on the guide

ripe obsidian
#

Ah well. Anecdotal, then.

austere warren
#

Figured I copy some clean builds first to just understand what's up these days

graceful arch
austere warren
#

Atheneum?

#

Or um

graceful arch
austere warren
#

The google doc yeah

ripe obsidian
#

Atheneum is very out of date, sadly

austere warren
#

Happens

#

How out of date?

ripe obsidian
#

Nothing has been updated for multiple patches

#

So weapon changes, talent changes, etc.

ripe obsidian
modest perch
#

i always viewed battle med as a crutch for psykers who cant manage their peril

graceful arch
modest perch
#

eh

#

how much dmg are u rly converting to peril when u got the staff out ?

graceful arch
ripe obsidian
#

I stopped using JaD because the peril conversion hurt me more than it helped

graceful arch
#

remember damage to toughness also gives you peril for jad

modest perch
#

i only take it on melee psyker

graceful arch
modest perch
#

where im mostly using trauma as a stagger stick

#

idk if i use it on fire

deft stump
ripe obsidian
graceful arch
deft stump
#

And any form of peril reduction.

#

On a staff.

#

vraks with 38 stability is obliterating my wrist

plucky flax
royal totem
#

Damn. Karien is such a badass

deft stump
austere warren
#

I've spent so much time playing with right tree gun/meleeker that I just don't know what the fuck I'm doing with staves broadly speaking.

plucky flax
#

Why is she so mean

#

Always shouting at me SadgeCry

austere warren
#

Didn't actually underatand what was going on with EK so this is cool.

#

Perhaps I pivot again and return to psyker scholarship

#

πŸ€”

deft stump
austere warren
#

They're honestly an insanely fun class with so much variety it's crazy. Really rewarding to be good with too (right tree is the light).

languid pine
#

love it and hate it when the director goes crazy

#

first ten steps twins + ogryn

#

20s after another chaos spawn

restive stag
deft stump
#

Or the boss is in my face.

restive stag
#

somehow im managing to make a purple vraks with 38 stability shoot straight

#

might be a miracle tho idk

austere warren
#

I just hold the recoil and it works fine.

#

I make up a small β—‹ in my head if I'm magdumping and try to stay within that. Laser logic even if it's hitscan bullets.

deft stump
#

I either overcompensate or it goes everywhere on controller.

rain wren
#

Well each weapon does have its own recoil and if you get used to how it moves you can adjust to it after practice

royal totem
#

Karien has mad ping

rain wren
#

Oh nvm stick to single fire

#

Shotgun or spray and prat weapo

#

Spray and pray

#

Oh as psyker fire or electric staff

ripe obsidian
#

I wrote all of it though

rain wren
#

Electric staff you don't need to aim just point in the general direction and it will hit the nearest enemy to it. It also does a lot of damage for something that doesn't need to charge and is almost instant with a minor delay

deft stump
#

Recon is likely the only automatic I can legit use.

plucky flax
#

This build will carry me

#

With creeping flames shriek.

deft stump
rain wren
#

I like recon laser. I recently switched to that on zealot. Having fun

plucky flax
#

No perfect timing. thinkKMS

deft stump
plucky flax
rain wren
#

Oh it's a mod

#

Makes your weapons look red when fully upgraded like old datktide

graceful arch
plucky flax
#

Why would I get that it doesn't improve performance or do any qol

ripe obsidian
graceful arch
#

but i like my pretty reds like in vt2

#

(i don't use the mod either.)

rain wren
#

Oh yes that's right it was vermontide that did that

rain wren
restive stag
#

actually wait no i love gambling

plucky flax
#

His goofy build didn't carry.

ripe obsidian
graceful arch
restive stag
#

honestly my eyes have been opened to gunker i thought i couldn't like it

#

but vraks is like that one mercy gif

graceful arch
#

hell you will generally out dps everyone else with staffs

primal aurora
plucky flax
restive stag
#

I have acquired a second blessing on my vraks
splendid

rain wren
deft stump
tulip kettle
restive stag
#

i mean, i feel that the thing is that we're comparing (mostly) burst dps to (semi-often) more multi hit dps (but even then not really that often because of how many ranged things are also burst damage)

deft stump
tulip kettle
#

in havoc when theres say, 12 shotguners and 6 bulwarks and a bunch of ragers and maulers, the guy stabbing has hit 3 things by the time you burned/zapped half the room

restive stag
#

I say this as someone who hasn't used a gun once in her life until today btw (i am very experienced)

#

yeah

#

because melee dps is interrupted by movement

#

while ranged only really gets interrupted by thingsl ike reload or peril management

tulip kettle
#

and only hits one thing at a tim

restive stag
#

yup

graceful arch
#

like this was a h40 win where i played pretty shit

tulip kettle
#

this is current season? what map and mods?

graceful arch
#

magistrati oubliette with cranial healing i think

#

i just played like dogshit

tulip kettle
#

that is not a purple 40

plucky flax
graceful arch
#

it was 27 min

languid pine
#

ie. purg

graceful arch
#

i can't remember off the top off my head

#

this was a 2 million damage game but i dced

#

damn you scoreboard

deft stump
plucky flax
#

I will try bubble to see if it helps (probably not)

tulip kettle
#

i played a few bubble games yesterday

primal aurora
austere warren
tulip kettle
#

i forgot how painful it is spending half the game quelling

plucky flax
#

Special bubble staff.

#

76% burn swag

graceful arch
#

powerdi is better i've heard but it keeps breaking with updates

austere warren
#

Anyone here a Sienna scholar? I got back into vt2 after being away for a while. Considering pivoting and actually committing myself to being competent with all her tools.

#

I think I only did like the same three builds with her between bright wizard, pyromancer and necromancer.

graceful arch
#

@austere warren

solid pond
#

make sure to spam your ult on unchained

#

its got really good damage

graceful arch
solid pond
#

I used to play alot of unchained with the occasional BW into Cata but its been fucking ages

#

I don't remember much

#

only misinformation remains

graceful arch
#

this is a pretty standard build for bw

#

actually most would run famished flames instead of lingering but you can get good value out of lingering with certain staffs

#

but more dps is famished you just can't do shenanigans where you kill an entire patrol by ignoring it after putting a dot on everyone

restive stag
#

big fan of illisi

languid pine
#

cheese is always correct

#

famished and lingering are both viable

#

but current meta is flamestorm + lingering since if you fully charge the flamestorm there's this weird interaction where you'll also do more direct damage

#

if lingering, coru/beam/fireball is fine too

#

volcanic is exclusively for bolt

#

kaboom and burnout are also interchangable, but if you want higher dps you go kaboom + famished

#

i would say uc is what people struggle with the most on since you have to tip-toe around the passive but it really isnt that bad

#

once you get good at sienna in vt2 i guarantee you that psyker will feel fucking dumb

#

(honestly given for everything moving from vt2 into dt)

#

idk if cheese made the detailed guide on sienna yet, but you can do damage gating with unchained

#

if you get hit by anything and your overheat is at critical (80+%), you'll only fill to max

#

even if you have 99% overheat and you get hit, it gets set to 100%

austere warren
cosmic cobalt
#

the bot build are kinda iffy ime

#

for ranged weapon and talent it work but melee choice are meh

#

because of how bot doesn't chain heavy, push attack and light together it better to pick one with 1 good horde clear and 1 good st

#

relevant for something like mace on kruber since you have to block cancel, mix in push attack for optimal horde clear

#

so mace and sword or gs is better for bot

#

which is simple for bot to use and does great on both horde clear and st on their heavies

#

spear and shield also work well even in vanilla you don't need bot combat improvement for that

summer prairie
#

@plucky flax if you still have your map I'd be interested in some attempts

cosmic cobalt
#

great hammer also work for merc

weary idol
#

I have yet to have an issue with it breaking on an update that didn't also break everything else

summer prairie
#

shame

plucky flax
#

Rumbler ogryn carried SadgeCry

#

I know the zealot though so I knew he'd push aggressively with me.

hearty wolf
#

I'm a dinosaur

candid temple
#

wait, actually, how is voidstrike with infinite cleave event?

marble crater
#

Voidstrike's problem wasn't and isn't cleave, so I imagine it's still whelming

deft stump
#

Also, more damage might be nice.

quaint lark
plucky flax
#

76 and 80 burn is the same.

warped fable
#

as a flame staff psyker im torn on weather to use bubble or vent

#

thoughts?

languid pine
#

bubble if havoc or you want a secured win

#

in auric anything goes, in havoc depends on your team

marble crater
#

Both work, really just depends on which you like more

languid pine
#

you can still go purg vent, your team just has to be competent

#

in which 99% of the time they're not

#

doesnt matter if they're true survivor or havoc exemplar or 1000+ true levels or whatever, they'll most likely die without bubble in shitty situations

warped fable
#

ok cool so that seems to be my exprince as well

royal totem
#

Some maps bubble just better

marble crater
#

Vent can save your team from dogs 30m away and through several walls, bubble can not

white valley
#

Dogs are one of the least threatening specials in the game

marble crater
#

Unless you are 30m away from your team and behind several walls

white valley
#

why are you?

#

that's the issue itself, not the dog

marble crater
#

I am not, I am the person with vent, keep up

weary idol
#

it does not have a very long duration if its your teams primary way of stuffing shooters

warped fable
#

i fell like vent is the better option for hord clear and ogryn CC but the the party dose not last long if no bubble

royal totem
#

Depends on map and luck. Shrugs. Both have their place

languid pine
#

this is why i say its team dependent

#

map is also a factor

#

if the map has open large sightlines then you'll want a bubble, if its cqc then vent has huge value

languid pine
#

if you have a smoke vet you can also afford to drop bubble

weary idol
#

I WILL bust out the hot takes

white valley
languid pine
#

bubble also just ignores like half the fucking special roster

kariens go to yap when it comes to DT

warped fable
#

im the kinda gamer that prefers things to be optimal... in regards to psyker bubble vs vet smoke... would it not be more optimal for the vet to be using craks?

marble crater
#

I don't even know what 300 ping feels like

solid pond
#

they're not nessesary into normal armour, into rotten they're good and get alot of value

deft stump
solid pond
#

but smokes are better otherwise

languid pine
#

if rotten armor kraks

#

else smoke

solid pond
#

ranged is the leading cause of not alive in havoc

deft stump
#

GL landing kraks.

solid pond
#

smokes turn the brains of ranged off

solid pond
weary idol
#

truly

solid pond
#

degree in yappenomics

weary idol
#

Kraks magnetize onto carapace armor

#

in a very generous radius

#

this does sometimes mean they hit a random scab rager instead of the crusher however

solid pond
#

or you throw them at a boss and they go

#

SHEWOOP to the dude next to it

deft stump
solid pond
#

they track to carapace

#

not to bosses

deft stump
#

Is how I get overheaded by captains over 10m away.

solid pond
#

I really don't care about the copium about ping

#

its optional lol

deft stump
#

Captain is cara, right?

weary idol
#

no

warped fable
#

ok hold on you cant talk about game balance of your not playing by the same rules...

solid pond
#

captain is not

#

twins are cara head

deft stump
#

Or flak.

#

But thing is, I'm not where the server thinks I am.

warped fable
#

300 ping is a problem for you then your playing a completly difrent game then the rest of us with good ping

solid pond
#

self forfilling copium

deft stump
#

So I might be throwing my krak at a crusher infront of me, but it homes to nothing because the server has said crusher elsewhere.

languid pine
#

i actually hate dedicated servers so much

warped fable
#

this is a ping problem not a problem with a krak

languid pine
#

because i genuinely cannot play with people in other continents

#

20 fucking disconnects

solid pond

Vt2 sucks donkey if you try to do the same thing

deft stump

i play with kuli and pestilence occasionally and everytime we have to roll a d20 for a good eu server for me

languid pine

deft stump

#

I am AU and can play to EU perfectly fine

cosmic cobalt
#

yeah in vt2 you just straight up can't continue the mission because host dc or crash

deft stump
#

Also, you need to predodge.

solid pond
#

I did true survivor on EU ping

#

skill issue to everyone else

languid pine
#

its probably my router that i'll have to reset

#

ping really isnt a problem

royal totem

which you've also said carry you

languid pine

should prob get a wired connection

#

going to take a year until i get a new pc

solid pond
#

much faster

true...

royal totem

Smokes make gunner aggro radius much smaller right?

deft stump

Or do they do absolutely nothing and just stand there chatting

#

ye

weary idol
#

them still shooting is a bug with walking while firing

#

happens with Reapers too

solid pond
#

has that been said by devs?

weary idol
#

no, but it's pretty obvious in testing

#

since they'll also shoot walls, and won't let up shooting targets they aren't supposed to

#

youknow the situation

#

you hear a dreg gunner laying into a wall for like 5 seconds straight

solid pond
#

or 5 reapers

weary idol
#

yah

solid pond
#

fair

weary idol
#

reapers have always done it

royal totem
#

I...see

weary idol
#

since they've always been able to move+shoot

solid pond
#

also smokes can make reapers do the gun bonk

#

fuck its funny

zealous wing
#

very nice of them to alert us to their location

weary idol
#

dreg/scab gunners only started doing it when they were given the ability to walk and shoot

solid pond
#

patrol of like 7 of them all slamming their guns at the same time

#

do reapers have a like

#

aim cone?

weary idol
#

all ranged enemies have perfect accuracy if unsupressed

solid pond
#

or is their tracking just fucked because they don't turn as fast as their rounds being fired at you do

weary idol
plucky flax

yeah, cuz you can be near them, dodging around them and they'll very much hit you while not aiming at your postcode

Only play havoc with shout book bubble taunt

hearty wolf
#

I think Zealot is shit

#

I dunno what it is, but like. The melee weapons all fucking blow imo

#

Relic blade just isn't powersword

It's like jerking off, you only need one hand.

patent mango
#

yeah power sword is simply too fun to put down honestly relic blade cant compare

radiant frigate
#

but but

#

big choppa..

hearty wolf
#

It doesn't chop enough

#

I also hate uppercuts

#

It also feels like slapping someone with a loaf of bread

white valley
patent mango
#

greatswords are fine but 1 hander weapons are where its at

hearty wolf
#

It's the same with Deimos right

#

It's a godly weapon

patent mango
#

deimos is crazy favorite wep rn

hearty wolf
#

Aside from its DOGSHIT lights

white valley
#

zealot is stuck in an odd place, they're the big melee class but everyone can melee well

#

But relic blade is frankly quite strong

hearty wolf
#

I think they need to tone down support skills and reliance on them maybes.

white valley
#

try the mark 10 instead, I hate the mark 2, dunno how people like it

hearty wolf
#

Idk, havoc is just bring infinite cc/anti gunner

patent mango
#

ok enough trolling i hate power sword its awful

hearty wolf
#

But I want high density and

#

No

#

What the fuck

#

I'm going to kill you

#

Havoc 40 right now melee only

hearty wolf
#

Bring your melee of choice

#

I'll put you into the grave >;(

patent mango
#

havoc isnt real either

hearty wolf
#

You're not real

patent mango
#

hop on sedition

hearty wolf
#

I haven't unlocked it

white valley
#

I've seen people glaze mk2 relic blade for its infinite strikedown heavy loop but I dunno why anyone would want an uppercut that can't hit heads for shit

hearty wolf
#

You've got to break your neck to make it aim properly

white valley
#

yes so just use mk10

#

H1H2L3 for single-target loop

patent mango
#

but hwo am i meant to use funny sword without a cool uppercut

white valley
#

by using it with strikedowns and stabs

#

and perfectly horizontal sweeps made to cleave through 10 heads at once

hearty wolf
#

I remember hating the mark 10

#

Think the push attack was yucky

#

However I use power sword push attack because it's cool

white valley
#

Push attack is a stab, it's alright

#

but it's not something you use often

patent mango
#

but theres no awesome uppercut.........

white valley
#

I am going to uppercut you

patent mango

i assume thunder hammer isn't meant to kill carapace?

it does an okay job

why does ironhelm exist

zealous wing

ironhelm WAS going to be the one i used

zealous wing

but, its got an unforgivable bug

i may have the wrong blessings?

royal totem
#

can't screenshot. comp doesn't let me. but i'm using thunderous and momentum

white valley

but yes in that case it's useful

white valley
#

you missed the head on the charge I think

#

would've one-shotted if you did

royal totem
#

oh so you're looping charged attacks

hearty wolf
#

same with knife

#

riot

upbeat kestrel
#

perhaps shroudfield be preferable to charge with thammer

zealous wing
royal totem
#

i want a break on arb. need to learn more funny zealot things

zealous wing
#

can swap blitz, and ability, and technically keystone too, since i didnt use its effects

#

i also can sub it into my shroudfield build, but, its not really necessary, nor wanted in higher havocs

royal totem
#

so in the meantime i advise nobody play with me so i don't throw their games with my shitty zealot

upbeat kestrel

eviscerator's fun

i don't like eviscerator

How can one not enjoy the sound of a chainaxe's teeth biting into a mutant?

how can one possibly enjoy the sound of metal grating on carapace

upbeat kestrel

what happened to clad?

zealous wing

banned

upbeat kestrel

for what?

royal totem
zealous wing

uhm, lets say politically charged arguement with a moderator

graceful arch
zealous wing

with clad veering very much into "thats not very good to say out loud"

deft stump
royal totem
#

no actually not

#

my zealot is bad

zealous wing
#

i mean

royal totem
#

like worse than my arb

zealous wing
#

i have psyker 7 ready

deft stump
graceful arch
deft stump
#

What are you, learning from Beans?

graceful arch
#

May god rest it's soul.

zealous wing
#

i have actually found it a good method for learning how to deal with things that arent weighed in my favour

#

i clutched the first mission with a DC and the laspistol, which, for me using DC, was actually an improvement

royal totem
#

alright

#

i need to hear the will of chat

zealous wing
#

and, psyker6 was me learning VB, and only using VB as the weapon

#

this one will be knife

royal totem
#

as zealot, should my second weapon be flammer or boltgun

zealous wing
#

it depends, genuinely

#

for thammer, bolt pistol

#

if you went with something singletarget, flamer

zealous wing
#

otherwise, you CAN use either or

#

but yes, high rec on bistol for thammer

deft stump
#

Bistol Relic.

sullen bobcat
#

Tbh, I use the las pistol on thammer

marble crater
royal totem
#

why bistol? >.<

#

i don't like bistol as a weapon btw

marble crater
#

Because Karien is a bistol addict, don't listen to her

deft stump
zealous wing
#

better range singletarget damage, floor penetration, aoe, etc

sullen bobcat
#

Consider the following on las pistol: ghost

white valley
sullen bobcat
#

It removes the main issue of thammer zealot of not having a good anti shooter option

zealous wing
#

i use bistol as an FGS sub in for when teammates are pinned by a dog on floor above, or if i know i cant aim at the dog perfectly, just to get it off them

#

and yeah if you do use flamer or bolt gun, you can use blades of faith to skip the slow equip process

#

but youre slow

fierce crest
#

laspistol is juicy on any crit build

sullen bobcat
#

Las pistol is just good in general tbh

royal totem
#

i'm a silly infiltrate build

sullen bobcat
#

Just a silly boi

white valley
#

las pistol with blazing piety hits like a truck

royal totem
#

i don't like las pistol

#

have to mouse click too fast

sullen bobcat
#

I have an auto clicker macro on my mouse lol

#

Even then, I'm going for precision typically for anti shooters, so I'm not spamming shots, and I click manually

#

If you want a temu recon las build, use the the MG IV with an auto clicker

royal totem
#

lmao

#

so yeah i guess my choices are limited to bolter or flamer hmmm

zealous wing
#

why bolter

#

serious question

white valley
#

recon las is decent too on crit builds

zealous wing
#

why specifically do you want bolter, and why specifically do you want flamer

royal totem
#

i just don't like bistol

sullen bobcat
#

Your ranged should complement your melee
If your infiltrate build sucks ass at shooters, figure out how to deal with that, and flamer/bolter aren't the best options

royal totem
#

to be honest the problem might be in general i don't like any of the zealot guns

zealous wing
#

if youre using the thammer, you have decent horde clear, and also decent armour cleanup. flamer is for horde clearing, and bolter is.... i dont actually know where bolter is useful on more than just, one or two crushers at a time before slow as fuck reload

sullen bobcat
#

Emergency mag dump pretty much lol

zealous wing
#

thammer

sullen bobcat
#

Yeah, so it's redundant

zealous wing
#

especially on SF

deft stump
#

Why lul.

zealous wing
#

so i guess flamer is the least useless on that build

sullen bobcat
#

An infiltrate t hammer build has no need to mag dump

zealous wing
#

of the two

cosmic cobalt
#

thammer doesn't do mixed horde clear fast so flamer

deft stump
marble crater
#

Play braced autogun and magdump elites

zealous wing
#

true, but if nemui wants no mobility, then no mobility it is

deft stump
zealous wing
#

it will

royal totem
#

i mean, this isn't really for havoc. it's just a dick around build

zealous wing
#

100%

sullen bobcat
marble crater
#

Use throwing knives for snipers

zealous wing
#

which, is fair, nemui. you are allowed to have fun, we just want to make sure you know the pain youre gonna be in kekw

white valley
royal totem
#

though i'm slightly considering the combat shotgun now ._. hmmmmmmmmm

zealous wing
#

honestly

#

tis fun

white valley
#

combat shotguns are good

zealous wing
#

take the uh

white valley
#

the slug one is a very good pocket sniper

zealous wing
#

fuck what one is the special single target slug

white valley
#

agripinaa

zealous wing
#

yeah

white valley
#

I think

royal totem
#

i take the agri

zealous wing
#

its not necessarily better than a revolver because, you have to reload after every single shot of the special slug, but, you WILL have more overall ammo, iirc

#

and, its fast to slip the slug in, tbh

#

just slide and special, its good to go

white valley
#

I mean you have more than twice the ammo

zealous wing
#

couldnt remember numbers

white valley
#

that's a pretty big deal

zealous wing
#

the sound is also nice

#

"thONK"

deft stump
sullen bobcat
#

There's nothing more satisfying than a good bonk with a thammer on a boss

royal totem
#

ok

white valley
#

agripinaa pairs well with full bore and no respite

royal totem
#

i can now shoot agri at burgles 😏

#

i'm allergic to getting close to burgles

white valley
#

Agri has surprisingly high finesse

#

legit crazy headshot and crit damage for a shotgun

royal totem
#

i break out into hives whenever i get close to a burgle (this is a joke)

zealous wing
#

slug vs slug

royal totem

may the better slug win πŸ˜›

ok

infiltrate zealot main time

#

gonna infiltrate and bonk that poxwalker's head!

zealous wing
#

if you do want a buddy, im down to tag along

real warren
#

Is it weird I've exclusively played Psyker since the game came out?

zealous wing
#

not really, imo

#

probably rare, but, not terrible

white valley
#

exclusively? That is kinda weird yes

#

But weird doesn't mean bad per se

real warren
#

Lately I've found myself loving my gun-psyker build with brain burst and scrier's gaze to focus specialists

#

Ope it didn't embed

#

Oh well

zealous wing
#

yeah need to talk a bit, get the red role

#

to prevent bots

real warren
#

Ah. Makes sense tbh

zealous wing
#

shouldnt take long, just a normal conversation is usually plenty

real warren
#

Yeeee

#

Also I finally got the malleus monstronum penance not too long ago

#

Shiny armour

zealous wing
#

gg

real warren
#

Any recommends as to what's a decent build for havoc 20+ missions?

zealous wing
#

depends on team construction sometimes, but, bubbleknight is a common go-to, for the gunker side of things

#

should be in the build bonanza in the pins

real warren
#

Ah I see

zealous wing
#

there should also be some other gunker builds there if you want to compare, as well as a couple templates

real warren
#

Much appreciated

tulip kettle
#

SG better damage but less safe for team mates

#

Generally if you don't bring bubble randoms will cry about it when they die

real warren
#

Saying "skill issue" is probably not the right way to handle this, is it

tulip kettle
#

Works for me

#

If they didn't want to get shot they should have engaged the shooters in melee, shouldn't they.

#

Or brought their own smokes or shield or such

#

But just to go back a bit, in highest havoc's there is no build that can come close to competing with inferno + force sword + shriek for output

real warren
#

I've seen a few people run that build, seems very strong

weary idol
#

But it's waaaaaaaay more effort

#

FGS devours havoc 40 hordes

tulip kettle
#

It can't dude but ok

#

I'm not saying output on other build isn't great but with the current modified there is just nothing with the dps of 22 stacks of soulblaze on 40 elites and stacking uncanny

summer prairie
#

unless your whole team is cracked, then purg won't be that far ahead without healing being in play

zealous wing
#

knife is fun

#

no idea how to use it properly, but, that is what psyker7 is for

long wharf
#

how much damage does Charged Strike really do?

long wharf
#

those poor psykers

zealous wing
#

i know it was bugged to do more than it was supposed to, and now its been fixed, i've heard nothing about charged strikes, dunno numbers

zealous wing
long wharf
#

you do understand that you can have multiple loadouts, right?

#

there's a mod for extending how many you can have, too

zealous wing
#

yes but i enjoy the levelling process

long wharf
#

fair enough

zealous wing
#

specifically only psykers though loregryn the other classes are way too much of a slog

#

or, in arby's case, just, too easy

long wharf
#

so you just like seeing level number go up

zealous wing
#

it HAS been getting me used to not using deflector as well

#

finally took it off my main FGS

zealous wing
long wharf
zealous wing
#

550 or so i think

weary idol
#

Skill floor is rock bottom but the ceiling very high

zealous wing
#

yeah but the LEVELING process is easy

#

theres no actual challenge if you already know the basics

long wharf
#

yeah, gonne disagree there

zealous wing
#

tbh the skill ceiling on all the classes can be considered high

long wharf
#

skill floor is literally the floor

#

and the skill ceiling is normal "I understand the mechanics and can dodge effectively"

zealous wing
#

you can always be better at a class

weary idol
#

do this consistently in combat

#

while doing all the mechanics and dodging effectively

#

because this is consistent

#

you can do this every time if you don't fuck it up

#

to maximize dog damage

long wharf
#

I redirect my dog constantly

raw garnet
#

How fun and enjoyable looking

weary idol
#

if your dog stays pounced it's losing damage because of it

zealous wing
#

plus the aoe bleed, if you have it

royal totem
#

I only play dogless

long wharf
#

okay, Charged Strike is crap

royal totem
#

Yeah. Bug got fixed

long wharf
royal totem
#

My dog is 100% of my dps

long wharf
#

big oof

#

I love my dog, refuse to play Arbeepees without it

royal totem
#

I use arby shield and only hold it up while playing dog director

solid pond
#

you see those arbites that fall over?

#

yea

#

still possible to be ass even with arbites

zealous wing
#

just because its easy to pick up doesnt mean someone can take arby and immediately win h40 without knowing wtf they're doing

#

someone can take the most meta build, and still die in lower difficulties

solid pond
#

same way people do it in every game

#

take broken shit because someone said it was broken

#

do ass

zealous wing
#

yuppers

#

its like the people who take h40 inferno meta to like, heresy or damnation, and then come here asking why its so underwhelming

verbal thistle
#

shamless plug

#

but dog even solo'ed a auric damn

zealous wing
#

to be fair, dog is literally invulnerable

verbal thistle
#

scoreboard isnt correct

#

cause it has trouble keeping tract of dog

zealous wing
#

oh god imagine if they made bons able to eat your dog, or CS's grab them. it would be so mean

#

dogsplosion would become a requirement kek

white sky
#

Or Lone Wolf tbh

zealous wing
#

yeah but an arby without the dog is just a vet on steroids

#

or usually, pocket smykers

white sky
#

Tbh

#

That grenade they get is very nice

zealous wing
#

the shock mine or the actual "explode on impact" ones

white sky
#

Impact Nades

#

I think being able to stagger bosses off ledges is funny

zealous wing
#

you can do that with dogsplosion, though i imagine arby grenade easier to aim the monstrosities where you want them

white sky
#

Its a little more immediate and its easier to do it with cause you'll have 4-5

zealous wing
#

and yeah shoving anything off a cliff is just, almost as good as ogryn BFR

white sky
#

So i suppose I would say there's more consistency to the nades

zealous wing
#

makes sense

#

very specific use case though, but overall the grenades are nice

#

no "throw grenade a little wrong and now the things you wanted dead /staggered are too far away from it" like with other grenades

white sky
#

you can still use them to stagger for revives assuming you're running revive speed too more immediately than dogsplosion ime

zealous wing
#

if im running shield maul i usually flashbang for a revive, but ye i run revive on my arby

#

been practicing with the other maul though

#

i like the overall utility of running both shield weapons, but, theres only so much the shield maul can do

white sky
#

Ive been trying things that arent shmaul lately tbh, do love free secondary blitz tho tbh

#

Yeah, I agree

#

Its very defensive in nature

zealous wing
#

shotpistol is a must for me, though, i dont understand the delight of the other shotgun

#

bulletproof shield, quick snappy reaction for getting the trappers dead, sniping things mega far away, it does it all

#

monster damage isnt horrible either

#

if i NEED it

white sky
#

VIII feels akin to a plasma, other one feels great if you like headshots i think pairs really well with scattershot too, they normally have better range too. Shot pistol feels great with Arby's naturally high crit tho, I agree, and tbh you're very close most of the time anyway.

#

Im ngl tho I've been turned on to combat shotgun arb

#

It kinda just does the same damage as the exaction anyway on a stagger build and it has like 1.8 times the max ammo and a lil over 3x shells in the tube

royal totem
#

I just like ex shotgun can pretty quickly reload one shell at a time compared to shistol

ripe obsidian
#

Even at close range, the ex shotgun feels bad for me. Takes 2+ shots to kill anything in H40. I just use bistol to snipe specials

prime elk
#

exe shotguns are more for bulk horde deletion rather than single target deletion tbf

ripe obsidian
#

I know

#

But I can already delete horde with my bonkstick

prime elk
#

true

#

mk3's mostly just a hordesweeper for auric imo

#

mk8 is prob more useful in havoc

plucky flax
#

Arby with more range damage than melee damage WeirdChamp

royal totem
#

I dont like having to press special button every time for combat shotgun

#

and still dont like just irons no target reticle

strong gulch
#

do you mod at all?

#

i forget if you're on console

verbal thistle
#

it becomes muscle memory

#

you start doing it while sliding to get the animation cancel

pale prairie
#

Damn remember when hexis hated arbites? And now he has joined them Guarded

strong gulch
#

Oh no. Hexis started playing 2 weeks ago and got too pro at psyker.

verbal thistle
#

as soon as the ammo in the clip goes up 1, its loaded and you can qq or just swap

#

visually its when the shell enters fully

#

works for normal and special shells

#

its timing makes it very good to do while sliding

#

so no movement debuff

@ripe obsidian give arby builds

#

idk anything

Yeah, where is the Arby build bonanza?

strong gulch

I know dog, no dog, outlines keystone, and the abilities exist.

#

okay, who was telling me about Souldrinker?

radiant frigate
long wharf
#

I switched my melee/assail to PC, SD, WF, and Venting Shriek

#

found myself with a lot more survivability than trying to stay in melee range with SG

looks like it was dom

radiant frigate
long wharf
#

well, I'm willing to say he was right

zealous wing
#

he tends to be kek

long wharf
#

WF for the purposes of proc'ing Souldrinker is a noticeable gain

do they not have combos?

i thought most fast foods have combos

long wharf

they do

but there isn't a standard numbering

usually fast foods thrive on previously stated consistency
