I can give you a shriek psyker scoreboard like that
something like 2.4m on me and 600k on everyone else
Thing is, Syllo was on Rend Trauma.
Syllogism is not human
and damage only important stat :3
I have no damage.
The one time I did more damage than someone, was cos they were REALLY bad or straight AFKing half the run.
peril
You could say 300 ping and preferences to lower damage light spammy weapons affect it, but still.
Thank you
Which is the best stat to prioritize while leveling?
I went damage on one and it didn't do much
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
Yea I mean should I be prioritizing damage or burn
You want both. 60 to warp resist.
Seriously.
gosh gunners are so scary >.>
Where teaM? 
Lost.
Brain fog real.
Also, hi Chaos.
Oh hai
Nice of you not to finish that map yet
Sounds like you wanna burga.
Thanks.
Already smelling burning things.
I'd rather bonk
It's actually the hardest map I've played.
Too many narrow hallways for big chonky bois.
I should have won this round. Felt a bit scammed by shockmine

need to learn how to properly gunker
Ok. I'm talking about while leveling. When I have to settle for less than max stats
Is random.
You literally only know current and max.
Like my current staff has 52 damage but only 35 burn
Yes, the lvling is pure random.
I can roll more or just look for better stats
Or just keep it since it'll max out anyway.
If you aren't rushing aurics, it really doesn't matter.
im just trying to feel more powerful while leveling. feeling pretty limp right now
You can even basically do malice with the starter gear stats.
I tried one and I did jack shit for damage
Oh, that's just inferno. Is good stagger in lower diffs but just about it.
Died like 10x trying to kill hordes
Why would it do better in higher diffs?
You don't have the horde density to do stuff.
Inferno scales with number of shit on the screen.
@bright summit
More shit, more damage.
It just feels bad to use
So much peril and damage feels mediocre
Can't hit as many things
The hp buff on everything made it worse.
not in malice though really
True. But once you touch heresy, lul.
It just needs to do more to compensate for how expensive perilwise.
Or just lmb I guess.
i been running scriers
Scriers is better on gunker or meleeker.
i need to sleep
o7
kk
it's 12:22am here
Unless you purely take advantage of the 10 sec 100% peril well.
Snooze away
really? would have thought it would be nuking shit with inferno
and if i don't sleep, bad things may happen
I didn't really sleep and yeah bad things did happen
You do not need it to crit like heck as a psyker.
Vent is better for purga.
yeah ek is bad it doesn't do 3+ million damage per game every game
π€
More stacks outright so they burn faster.
EK shriek strong
Pair with an uncanny melee.
ah ok.
staves while leveling bad
This is true btw.
Just run assail vent.
Vent in case of newbie fuck ups.
perhaps. but fun
not really a "newbie". played a year ago. i just forgot so much and they changed a bit since i played.
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.
Can do SG as well, but you need to watch peril better.
like back then i feel like inferno felt better early. may be misremembering
also could have been different stuff happening in the tree. idk
Inferno still busted, but as said, need horde density.
You aren't getting that outside of havoc and aurics.
8 seconds to kill 50 enemies or 1 with inferno.
other classes have more frontloaded damage now
Karien
so less time to cook things
Maybe very unlucky damnation runs.
press buttons mostly
I also died to a chaos spawn.
This, and panic.
PANIC, THROW EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.
It threw me to a ledge and my teammates couldnt save me
This sounds like pro skill things.
How to parry?
Damn. I guess i dont press enough buttons
If you play M&K, you even have more buttons.
Parry peril shouldn't kill you imo. The damage buff should just stop.
Im too unskilled π
I think it should just be, at critical peril, act like DS for other classes.
I should have prayered the chaos spawn off the cliff
So you have that 3% peril safety net.
I'm pretty bad at vet, so that doesn't help
Or whatever it is that true peril shows you.
Ye that's what I mean
Better than me. But i only play vet to meme
I play everything memes.
Vet feels unforgiving to play. One mistake and you're ded.
Have you seen my self builds?
Shout is the safety net.
Your toughness drops below 75%? RIP.
so what r the good gunker guns
Yes
Which is why basic shooters are 90% of my deaths
Vraks inf auto.
alright thanks
I should have gone prayer bot
I either get overheaded or disabled. 300 ping yay.
Same. Makes me want assail on trauma.
I pushed dog 4 times, still got dogged.
How is bolt pistol on gunker?
I dont do much damage as prayer bot so i rely on team being good
Vet feels cool to play until you get touched, then it's desperately hoping Shout is off cooldown
I stabbed a dog in the head 7 times before it died.
This is just auric hp.
2 hits should kill.
I like it on Auric and low havoc. Not sure it holds up on high havoc. No idea of breakpoints
What would be the good one on high havoc? i'm currently just an auric player but i'd like to know expert opinion (but tbh on high havoc i'd just inferno bubble)
Does it matter if you have no damage?
Depends who my teammates are
@icy breach runs it.
So, Shrugs.
I guess.
If theyre really bad then nothing dies
I mean I'm doing like 500k tops so book and auras.
10% crit for all, funni shield of contempt, damage on book, beacon.
Shield of contempt?
Yes. It helped, somewhat.
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
Oh, I know. But when you only have 1 frontliner.
You know where all the procs end up.
This is H40.
It needs a buff, but yeah.
Also what is laspistol dump stat? i see stability/mobility debate
Stability for fast mark, mobility for heavy mark.
Cos heavy mark has actual recoil.
Anyways. Karien has seen my low damage numbers now
HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN MY 150K TO 500K H40???
Recon lasgun or heavy laspistol are the ones I see most
CHAOS PLZ SHOW.
Which MK for laspistol, i'm trying it out
Fast.
You can safely just dump mobility tbh.
This is why i cant clear h40. My damage too low.
It won't matter as much as you think.
Need to do 1.8m
Someone doesn't get it.
Ppl say h40 needs damage though π
Carry is the most important stat, it's either 1 or 0
there are sections on certain maps that are a dps check
the first drop down on oubliette is a classic example
if the map has room to maneuver, don't need that much damage
i said certain sections on certain maps.
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
You mean 2.
nah safest way is to not lose too much ground when pulling backwards and making sure the monstrosity dies fast if you get a monstrosity + twins/captain
the safest way is to deal with it huh
depends what silly smite stuff you are talking about
perma smite?
Healing captain+monstrosity is sadness though
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
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
Highly unlikely, haven't looked at it since it was added but it would have been mentioned on the guide
Ah well. Anecdotal, then.
Mhm. I'm working on getting my bearings with being more conscious about better builds before doing some more personal setups
Figured I copy some clean builds first to just understand what's up these days
this is apperently 1 for 1 with what is in the guide except i cut battlemed
Which guide?
Atheneum?
Or um
The google doc yeah
Atheneum is very out of date, sadly
Nothing has been updated for multiple patches
So weapon changes, talent changes, etc.
I modified it to fit someone else's build, as mine was a few talents different and their reasons made sense. Dropping Battle Meditation is fine imo
i always viewed battle med as a crutch for psykers who cant manage their peril
mandatory with JAD for staff psykers imo other than that you are correct
can be a lot actually.
I stopped using JaD because the peril conversion hurt me more than it helped
remember damage to toughness also gives you peril for jad
i only take it on melee psyker
eh i haven't felt it be a detriment other than when i remove battle med
Try running without it... XD
I ended up in situations where a sudden spike resulted in me blowing myself up or something like pox gas kept my peril constantly rising so I couldn't cast
have.
Someone called me?
Yo holy shit the treasure trove damn
sry was me
@royal totem Needs to see my 150k h40 bookbot damage.
I have put a lot of time into the builds.
Don't have it
I think you did 1.5mil
Thanks a lot actually. Staves are probably the biggest aspect of psyker i don't really understand. Who else authored this? Was it just you?
Aww...
STOP LYING TO PEOPLE!!!
vraks with 38 stability is obliterating my wrist

Damn. Karien is such a badass
80 stability is hell already, wot.
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.
Didn't actually underatand what was going on with EK so this is cool.
Perhaps I pivot again and return to psyker scholarship
π€
Because you lie about the damage I do in runs!
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).
love it and hate it when the director goes crazy
first ten steps twins + ogryn
20s after another chaos spawn
hipfiring and burstfiring are my best friends
The only time it shoots straight is on exe stance.

Or the boss is in my face.
somehow im managing to make a purple vraks with 38 stability shoot straight
might be a miracle tho idk
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.
I either overcompensate or it goes everywhere on controller.
Well each weapon does have its own recoil and if you get used to how it moves you can adjust to it after practice
Karien has mad ping
Oh nvm stick to single fire
Shotgun or spray and prat weapo
Spray and pray
Oh as psyker fire or electric staff
It was me, with some editing help from a few people.
I wrote all of it though
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
300 ping on controller. XD
Recon is likely the only automatic I can legit use.
I know, lul.
Not red?
I like recon laser. I recently switched to that on zealot. Having fun
No perfect timing. 
I know. I still like my bistol.
What red?
electro staff m2 does pretty pitiful dps, m1 spam does pretty good damage on anything not unyielding/carapace
Why would I get that it doesn't improve performance or do any qol
Who needs that? Crits are gambling. Not worth
Oh yes that's right it was vermontide that did that
Well we both know that it is the melee builds that do the most damage anyway. The range part of the game is just for fun
teammates are also gambling
super not worth
actually wait no i love gambling
this is ek in auric
Well the guy died in the first encounter so yeah.
His goofy build didn't carry.
Agreed
also generally you will out dps melee psyker with staffs
honestly my eyes have been opened to gunker i thought i couldn't like it
but vraks is like that one mercy gif
hell you will generally out dps everyone else with staffs
Mark 6 is better than the other one?
Yeah for sure.
I have acquired a second blessing on my vraks
splendid
I mean of course if you are the first to hit it since you are range but if the melee is there first the time it took you to shoot it should be dead
I thought you had ALL the mods.
this is true in heresy maybe
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)

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
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
and only hits one thing at a tim
yup
like this was a h40 win where i played pretty shit
this is current season? what map and mods?
that is not a purple 40
Onl the OP ones
it was 27 min
you will not out-dps an infinite cleave ranged weapon
ie. purg
maybe cranial stimms
i can't remember off the top off my head
this was a 2 million damage game but i dced
damn you scoreboard
Oh.
I will try bubble to see if it helps (probably not)
i played a few bubble games yesterday
scoreboard mod from nexus?
Nicely done
i forgot how painful it is spending half the game quelling
yes
powerdi is better i've heard but it keeps breaking with updates
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.
not a scholar by any means but have played sienna in cata
@austere warren
cursed advice

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
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
big fan of illisi
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%
Guess they're stuff still relevant lucky me.
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
@plucky flax if you still have your map I'd be interested in some attempts
great hammer also work for merc
Does it?
I have yet to have an issue with it breaking on an update that didn't also break everything else
Surprisingly I just won it.
shame
Rumbler ogryn carried 
I know the zealot though so I knew he'd push aggressively with me.
I'm a dinosaur
some staffs
wait, actually, how is voidstrike with infinite cleave event?
Voidstrike's problem wasn't and isn't cleave, so I imagine it's still whelming
Needs better charge time still.
Also, more damage might be nice.
gasps its 76 burn...where is the 80?
76 and 80 burn is the same.
vent if you're bored or want funny numbers
bubble if havoc or you want a secured win
in auric anything goes, in havoc depends on your team
Both work, really just depends on which you like more
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
ok cool so that seems to be my exprince as well
Some maps bubble just better
Vent can save your team from dogs 30m away and through several walls, bubble can not
Dogs are one of the least threatening specials in the game
Unless you are 30m away from your team and behind several walls
I am not, I am the person with vent, keep up
im gonna be real bubble is very mid
it does not have a very long duration if its your teams primary way of stuffing shooters
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
Depends on map and luck. Shrugs. Both have their place
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
if you have a smoke vet you can also afford to drop bubble
don't make me start bitching about how Chorus sucks balls again
I WILL bust out the hot takes
I am keeping up, why is your idiot teammate 30m away?
bubble also just ignores like half the fucking special roster
Because they are a zealot or arby
too far
there is definitely some takes in this discord, I understand why some say bubble isn't that great in that one situation, because if everything is shooting it in high havoc it doesn't last long, but its still a few seconds for vet/arb or whatever to safely peak to actually kill a few ranged things
300 ping?
I do not need your assistance to peak "safely"
7 pushes at the dog, still dogged.
I am playing veteran or SG psyker
If I am peaking the gunners I am killing all of them
Dog takes 10 headstabs with dueling h1s to die.
What
You said why dogs scary. I say 300 ping.
kariens go to yap when it comes to DT
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?
I don't even know what 300 ping feels like
depends
they're not nessesary into normal armour, into rotten they're good and get alot of value
mutator dependent
At best, DELAY. At worst, nothing lands, nothing actually hits and get damaged.
but smokes are better otherwise
ranged is the leading cause of not alive in havoc
GL landing kraks.
smokes turn the brains of ranged off
they track you fucking goober
degree in yappenomics
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
They do, but they only do so if near. The bosses on my screen aren't really there to the server.
Is how I get overheaded by captains over 10m away.
Captain is cara, right?
no
ok hold on you cant talk about game balance of your not playing by the same rules...
300 ping is a problem for you then your playing a completly difrent game then the rest of us with good ping
they say they play on other servers because their server is dead but they're playing on that server at like 1-4am
self forfilling copium
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.
i actually hate dedicated servers so much
this is a ping problem not a problem with a krak
because i genuinely cannot play with people in other continents
20 fucking disconnects
better than p2p would be to those other continents
Vt2 sucks donkey if you try to do the same thing
No diff with P2P. Most ppl don't set up their systems to host.
i play with kuli and pestilence occasionally and everytime we have to roll a d20 for a good eu server for me
i actually prefer vt2 p2p
that just sounds like your internet lol
because i dont get my ass fucked by disconnects
in darktide its actually consistent
Err im in na and when i play EU i dont disconnect much
I know that. Is why I said dogs are scary at 300 ping. Cos it's a gamble to do anything.
I am AU and can play to EU perfectly fine
yeah in vt2 you just straight up can't continue the mission because host dc or crash

Also, you need to predodge.
Catmiral is just too good at game
I mean, I did it there as well.
i want to get true survivor so i can actually get accepted into havoc lobbies
Not with papa.
uh huh
With chaos and syllo right?
And Sut.
true...
Smokes make gunner aggro radius much smaller right?
Nothing. I'm just saying unstable 300 ping is exactly just that.
Or do they do absolutely nothing and just stand there chatting
they'll continue shooting at your last known in the smoke and it can cause them to reposition
sometimes they'll just stand there braindead
this is the intended behavior
ye
has that been said by devs?
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
or 5 reapers
yah
fair
reapers have always done it
I...see
since they've always been able to move+shoot
very nice of them to alert us to their location
dreg/scab gunners only started doing it when they were given the ability to walk and shoot
patrol of like 7 of them all slamming their guns at the same time
do reapers have a like
aim cone?
all ranged enemies have perfect accuracy if unsupressed
or is their tracking just fucked because they don't turn as fast as their rounds being fired at you do
their bullets will come out of the side of the barrel to hit you
Imagine playing havoc without bubble I'd never
yeah, cuz you can be near them, dodging around them and they'll very much hit you while not aiming at your postcode
reaper hate
π£

havoc without bubble? unthinkable
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.
yeah power sword is simply too fun to put down honestly relic blade cant compare
It doesn't chop enough
I also hate uppercuts
It also feels like slapping someone with a loaf of bread
kind of, yes
greatswords are fine but 1 hander weapons are where its at
deimos is crazy favorite wep rn
Aside from its DOGSHIT lights
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
I think they need to tone down support skills and reliance on them maybes.
try the mark 10 instead, I hate the mark 2, dunno how people like it
Idk, havoc is just bring infinite cc/anti gunner
ok enough trolling i hate power sword its awful
But I want high density and
No
What the fuck
I'm going to kill you
Havoc 40 right now melee only
havoc isnt real either
You're not real
hop on sedition
I haven't unlocked it
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
You've got to break your neck to make it aim properly
but hwo am i meant to use funny sword without a cool uppercut
by using it with strikedowns and stabs
and perfectly horizontal sweeps made to cleave through 10 heads at once
I remember hating the mark 10
Think the push attack was yucky
However I use power sword push attack because it's cool
but theres no awesome uppercut.........
I am going to uppercut you
fellow mk2 enjoyer
i assume thunder hammer isn't meant to kill carapace?
it does an okay job
it is. space marine variants can punch through tanks armour
it just needs a leg up
literally quickest way to reset into single target
testing it in the psy, it feels super slow to kill crushers
use crucis, and use an activated heavy attack
ironhelm WAS going to be the one i used
Use knife or ds4
but, its got an unforgivable bug
still takes like 6 attacks to kill an auric crusher
i may have the wrong blessings?
idk
send SS
what is bro build
RIP clad
can't screenshot. comp doesn't let me. but i'm using thunderous and momentum
unless you're looping H3 and H4, you don't need to reset
but yes in that case it's useful
oh so you're looping charged attacks
ds4 has been used since beginning of time
same with knife
riot
and with thrust and headtaker
perhaps shroudfield be preferable to charge with thammer
this is the tree on that build
i want a break on arb. need to learn more funny zealot things
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
so in the meantime i advise nobody play with me so i don't throw their games with my shitty zealot
perhaps other weapons be more interesting to you? like eviscerator and relic blade?
eviscerator's fun
i don't like eviscerator
heresy
HERETICS
why?
No thrust headtaker?
How can one not enjoy the sound of a chainaxe's teeth biting into a mutant?
#FREECLAD
how can one possibly enjoy the sound of metal grating on carapace
what happened to clad?
banned
for what?
yeah i had the wrong blessings
uhm, lets say politically charged arguement with a moderator
Said some highly political stuff I don't know the specifics off.
with clad veering very much into "thats not very good to say out loud"
I think someone is asking to play.
i mean
like worse than my arb
i have psyker 7 ready
SEVEN.
Psyker 6 will be remembered after breing brutally murdered by it's parent.
What are you, learning from Beans?
May god rest it's soul.
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
and, psyker6 was me learning VB, and only using VB as the weapon
this one will be knife
as zealot, should my second weapon be flammer or boltgun
it depends, genuinely
for thammer, bolt pistol
if you went with something singletarget, flamer
Bistol.
Bistol Relic.
Tbh, I use the las pistol on thammer
Why not a build for both
Because Karien is a bistol addict, don't listen to her
Fien use revolver.
better range singletarget damage, floor penetration, aoe, etc
Consider the following on las pistol: ghost
those aren't your only options, las pistol and bolt pistol are damn good options as well
It removes the main issue of thammer zealot of not having a good anti shooter option
Also, mobility.
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
laspistol is juicy on any crit build
Las pistol is just good in general tbh
i'm a silly infiltrate build
Just a silly boi
las pistol with blazing piety hits like a truck
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
recon las is decent too on crit builds
why specifically do you want bolter, and why specifically do you want flamer
i just don't like bistol
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
to be honest the problem might be in general i don't like any of the zealot guns
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
Emergency mag dump pretty much lol
Magdump bosses.
Lul.
thammer
Yeah, so it's redundant
especially on SF
Why lul.
so i guess flamer is the least useless on that build
An infiltrate t hammer build has no need to mag dump
of the two
thammer doesn't do mixed horde clear fast so flamer
Is still terrible. You have 0 mobility.
Play braced autogun and magdump elites
true, but if nemui wants no mobility, then no mobility it is
I guess, might make positioning harder.
it will
i mean, this isn't really for havoc. it's just a dick around build
100%
Wasn't a huge fan when I tried it because it really struggles with snipers
Use throwing knives for snipers
which, is fair, nemui. you are allowed to have fun, we just want to make sure you know the pain youre gonna be in 
crouch for more precision
though i'm slightly considering the combat shotgun now ._. hmmmmmmmmm
combat shotguns are good
take the uh
the slug one is a very good pocket sniper
fuck what one is the special single target slug
agripinaa
yeah
I think
i take the agri
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
I mean you have more than twice the ammo
couldnt remember numbers
that's a pretty big deal
Is decent, agripinna only.
There's nothing more satisfying than a good bonk with a thammer on a boss
ok
agripinaa pairs well with full bore and no respite
Agri has surprisingly high finesse
legit crazy headshot and crit damage for a shotgun
i break out into hives whenever i get close to a burgle (this is a joke)
slug vs slug
may the better slug win π
Greetings

if you do want a buddy, im down to tag along
Is it weird I've exclusively played Psyker since the game came out?
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
Ah. Makes sense tbh
shouldnt take long, just a normal conversation is usually plenty
Yeeee
Also I finally got the malleus monstronum penance not too long ago
Shiny armour
gg
Any recommends as to what's a decent build for havoc 20+ missions?
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
Ah I see
there should also be some other gunker builds there if you want to compare, as well as a couple templates
Much appreciated
SG better damage but less safe for team mates
Generally if you don't bring bubble randoms will cry about it when they die
Saying "skill issue" is probably not the right way to handle this, is it
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
I've seen a few people run that build, seems very strong
SG gun psyker can absolutely compete and exceed it
But it's waaaaaaaay more effort
FGS devours havoc 40 hordes
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
unless your whole team is cracked, then purg won't be that far ahead without healing being in play
how much damage does Charged Strike really do?
from what I hear, you're running a Black Ship all your own
those poor psykers
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
i've only deleted 2-5 so far, i still have psyker6 because idk if im done learning VB basics yet, and psyker1 is my main 
you do understand that you can have multiple loadouts, right?
there's a mod for extending how many you can have, too
yes but i enjoy the levelling process
fair enough
specifically only psykers though
the other classes are way too much of a slog
or, in arby's case, just, too easy
so you just like seeing level number go up
it HAS been getting me used to not using deflector as well
finally took it off my main FGS
not really, if i want number go up i do main psyker
550 or so i think
Arby'sβ’ has a pretty high skill ceiling build with full dog build though
Skill floor is rock bottom but the ceiling very high
yeah but the LEVELING process is easy
theres no actual challenge if you already know the basics
yeah, gonne disagree there
tbh the skill ceiling on all the classes can be considered high
skill floor is literally the floor
and the skill ceiling is normal "I understand the mechanics and can dodge effectively"
you can always be better at a class
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
I redirect my dog constantly
How fun and enjoyable looking
as you should because 99% of dog damage happens the instant the pounce lands
if your dog stays pounced it's losing damage because of it
plus the aoe bleed, if you have it
I only play dogless
okay, Charged Strike is crap
Yeah. Bug got fixed
yes, but spending too much time micromanaging your dog lowers your total dps, because you are a larger source of damage than your dog
My dog is 100% of my dps
I use arby shield and only hold it up while playing dog director
Arbites?
you see those arbites that fall over?
yea
still possible to be ass even with arbites
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

same way people do it in every game
take broken shit because someone said it was broken
do ass

yuppers
its like the people who take h40 inferno meta to like, heresy or damnation, and then come here asking why its so underwhelming
Same
shamless plug
but dog even solo'ed a auric damn
to be fair, dog is literally invulnerable
Yeah, that's what I would've did. That's the technique
scoreboard isnt correct
cause it has trouble keeping tract of dog
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 
Or Lone Wolf tbh
yeah but an arby without the dog is just a vet on steroids
or usually, pocket smykers
the shock mine or the actual "explode on impact" ones
you can do that with dogsplosion, though i imagine arby grenade easier to aim the monstrosities where you want them
Its a little more immediate and its easier to do it with cause you'll have 4-5
and yeah shoving anything off a cliff is just, almost as good as ogryn BFR
So i suppose I would say there's more consistency to the nades
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
you can still use them to stagger for revives assuming you're running revive speed too more immediately than dogsplosion ime
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
Ive been trying things that arent shmaul lately tbh, do love free secondary blitz tho tbh
Yeah, I agree
Its very defensive in nature
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
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
I just like ex shotgun can pretty quickly reload one shell at a time compared to shistol
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
exe shotguns are more for bulk horde deletion rather than single target deletion tbf
true
mk3's mostly just a hordesweeper for auric imo
mk8 is prob more useful in havoc
Arby with more range damage than melee damage 
I dont like having to press special button every time for combat shotgun
and still dont like just irons no target reticle
it becomes muscle memory
you start doing it while sliding to get the animation cancel
If you're up for it, doing a vid of the various cancels, staged reloads, etc might be a great resource.
Oh no. Hexis started playing 2 weeks ago and got too pro at psyker.
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
Nah he got tempted by the βhigh skill ceilingβ dog trainer
Thanks!
nah i wanted to pet the dog
dog is there solely to be pet, and fed
What if I learn to arby?
Hexis is just a hater as I have learned 
Yeah, where is the Arby build bonanza?
I know dog, no dog, outlines keystone, and the abilities exist.
okay, who was telling me about Souldrinker?
if it's any consolation, i still hate arby
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
Which other fast food places do you hate?
looks like it was dom
i think fast food is pretty trash in general
well, I'm willing to say he was right
he tends to be 
WF for the purposes of proc'ing Souldrinker is a noticeable gain
U want my arb builds?
shriek is so powerful that you can slap it on melee psyker and it's still epic
that's what I'm doing
It is, but every once in a while I need it 
because it is, but that's also why people like it
Thank you
fast food is consistent trash
you know what you're going to get
but, at least here in the US, it's starting to get too expensive

would have been better if there actually was a combo meal #5 at Arbys
beautiful
Just pick randomly. Itβs such high skill ceiling that your skills will make up for any talent mismatches /s
thats odd
usually fast foods thrive on previously stated consistency
guess not with menu
Arby's is "different"
I missed the entire ceiling and floor discussion, now I feel like I am not part of the inside joke 
Rude
