It seems very good. I just don't know what I would give up on Psyker. Maybe CDR, like R3msky said.
Each 4% CDR is 1.2 seconds off Shriek
with 2 tough curios and only 1 5% tough you should have 120 tough in a 40
I am running 2 corruption res cause I am shit at the game.
2 bomber 2 gunner 3 cd 2 corru.
i run 2 toughness 1 hp major, with 3 x CDR, 1 x gunner res, 1 x corr res, 1 x revive speed
then the other 3 minor can be whatever you want
so could even get 3x revive speed and still 10% toughness from minors
fire res seems generally pointless to me
I like bomber res for tox bombers.
either fire does nothing or youre dying to it
I'd probably do 3x gunner, 3x CDR, 2x revive, and 1x toughness if I'm still gonna have 120 toughness. Gunner resist is quite nice, especially without deflector
i agree i always have at least 1
got declined from a h30 for running trauma shriek, very normal
No bubble, no game
trauma shriek? i'll decline you from an h20! /s
but if i dont have bubble, how can i stand and use all of my ammo before the first event duelling gunners?
my new thing is just
"to quote the arbitrator
DONT FEAR THEIR FIREPOWER
GET IN CLOSE! "
I mean yeah gunners aren't as big of a threat as my randoms seem to think they are.
theyre a massive threat if they are scared to push them and engage em in melee
reapers also genuinely threatening in cranial
Krak out
cranial reapers ignoring supression can be very not nice
Oubliette first event on a gunner seed can be genuinely disgusting if someone aggroes the gunners early.
infiltrate isn't for getting to gunners. it's to kill that solo crusher your teammate is fighting
Infiltrate or shroud field?
shroud field! 😄
Can someone explain wildfire to me?
Infiltrate main use is having an icon you can glance down at to check if it’s off cooldown yet
what do you want to know?
if you are running multiple sources of soulblaze and kinetic flayer its very very good
otherwise its not so good
Why so some people swear by it if most people agree it useless
"ES is just free damage if you left click a crowd. Still better than wildfire which simply takes 4 stacks from a killed enemy and splits it between nearby enemies. Basically just 1 single stack of soulfire applied to nearby enemies. Pretty much the most useless skill in the game."
now with the new trees its very, very good.
I think it’s ok if you’re only soulblazing though pc or blaze trauma. It’s fairly useless on purg imo
Agent is a Wildfire believer
wrong.
This is not true.
Happy to hear more
without wildfire your stacks wont spread to targets you arent blazing
with wildfire, they will
How exactly does it improve your damage? Can it like brake the SB stack cap or something?
Take it out of context
In my experience, it’s trivially easy to put stacks on enemies with the inf cleave aoe
Wildfire boosts everything you do. Souldrinker, In Fire Reborn, makes your Infernoing scale faster, more chance for Kinetic Flayer to go off, and so on
This is literally so wrong, it's backwards xd
just what six said above
wildfire is good if you have lots of soulblaze
if your only soulblaze is PC, its not very good.
Wildfire is very nice with souldrinker
i just had a lvl 9511 vet on my team 
Wildfire on its own is meh. Wildfire in combination with other Soulblaze stuff is great
In my experience it usually just spreads 1 stack to 4 nearby enemies, which is not very helpful
bro picked up grenades, so needless to say he got kicked
Real
that is indeed how it works
now lets imagine a scenario
It does this like 30 times a second tho in dense hordes
Ok
Wildfire is acceleration. Acceleration is damage. Damage means things dead. Dead things don't deal damage.
you shriek into a horde then enter an airlock
the entire horde dies before you leave the airlock. the specials mixed in also get stacks. KF procs. PC procs
And every stack Wildfire puts on an enemy is a stack you don't have to add manually, which means you kill them that much faster due to how Soulblaze scales
and now everything is dead.
Does adding a new stack of SB refresh the duration of all the stacks?
I believe you’re realistically spreading like 2 stacks to them max, which seems like a pretty negligible dps boost for purg
i didnt clip the game i played with some people here the other day, but i got a 22 gunner killfeed without ever seeing any of them
before they exited the spawn door
that doesnt happen without wildfire
I mean the other thing you need to consider
Is opportunity cost
What are you taking that's better than wildfire
2 stacks alone is 3 damage per tick. 4 is 11.5. 6 is 25. 2 additional stacks matters.
So in the shriek scenario the first six stacks kill the groaners and then the wildfire stacks are able to finish off shotgunners and such?
And that's when you're looking at the low end before it scales higher
Applying 2 stacks takes so little time with the infinite cleave aoe staff
You're getting to the higher numbers faster
Wiggle your mouse across the screen done
sort of. It means that any specials/eiltes you didnt shriek will get stacks
which will then proc KF
which will then proc PC
But it's not instant and you're limited to your purg staffs range
Let's say 2 stacks takes 0.75 seconds to apply. You have now killed the horde almost a second faster. That matters.
I don't think you understand how valuable time is
What about if you’re not running kinetic flayer? I use shards
then its worse
but like
what build are you running with multiple sources of soulblaze and shards
I think it takes much shorter than that
*that doesnt suck
I understand that this is pretty much impossible to reason out with words, I’d love to see some test footage
Time is what kills you in havoc. You bleed out to time because you don't have enough and take a death from a thousand cuts or someone makes one mistake.
Or you die because you didn't have enough time to deal damage. Purg solves both of those problems because it buys your melees time to focus on armour while your soulblaze ramps to deal with the clumps
Right now I really don’t think wildfire is much of a dps boost in games
Wildfire is so hilariously broken in the most understated way
Infinite cleave aoe + pc is doing 99% of the work, imo
If you don't understand, you don't understand but try and compare two seemingly dense runs and see the difference
It's not an "imo" thing
This is maffs
The uptime has been considered
in those situations where you are directly flaming a blob, yes wildfire is doing less
still not nothing
but thats not what its all about
I did tests before the tree changed. Wildfire is something like a 5% DPS boost compared with not having it, and like a 3% DPS boost over Warp Battery (which is what I was testing against)
Well I don’t run soulblaze unless I’m using purge but I was curious about the trauma or blazing spirit sword build and if wildfire matters there
Thank you for taking to me normally ❤️
man just said "blazing spirit sword build"
The fact you can take both now probably means you'd deal more methinks. Faster CD on shriek and you just kill things even faster.
Win more talent
wildfire is very important on blazing trauma
I agree with that
blazing swords are not a thing
i want to believe ...
i spend about half the game with my melee out
blazing spirit greatsword + fire trauma can be good bro just trust me bro
granted, im using it to push
Still a ranged bot unit
Only half?
You're like the sentry units in Bloons 😭
be nice to me or i wont carry you to getting 40 after your name again 😠
The number one FGS build on game lantern runs blazing spirit so I thought there might be something to it
nah
yeah no worries dude, game lantern is not the place for builds
but blazing spirit swords are god awful
we all wish it was good and worked but it just doesnt
i can explain why but i really cba
You just invite me to games where no one moves
just take it from us
It's mental torture

it sucks and you shouldnt run it
Well, yes, I pick both now
I really tried to find an excuse with souldrinker
But it still sucks
I usually path through empiric shock instead of wildfire
madness
if youre talking about that silly gandalf or whatever build it can be made good with some adjustments
factual
idk if id say it was great
Or is that souldrinker. Idk what the new tree is. It’s all so OP you don’t have to agonize over it anymore
Yes. But doesn't fix blaze spirit swords.
70% or something uptime
it was ok
Oh, didn't realize we were talking about that
now its godlike
like, the majority of your toughness in a game coming from it levels of godlike
Alg, thought the message I was replying to implied that well enough
It was always one of my favourites
Now that it's so easy to get I take it even more
Enemies don’t need to die from soulblaze to proc everything they just need to have it when they die right?
correct
Syllo do you want to get carried
Yes
Infinite toughness with infinite damage stacking? Yes please
i like getting carried
You should join.
Wait has the KF peril bug always been there?
yes
KF procs when you reach crit peril
But doesn't actually do the BB
Tbh idk why the critical peril limitation is there to begin with
Should be removed
that's annoying
Explains why I was having KF go on CD without doing anything
Thought I was just missing it
Yeah
man
@tulip kettle I'm sitting at 112 toughness w/ 2 large toughness and 1 small. How are you getting to 120?
i really dont like the mk 6 greatsword
i have 2 small i checked
my b
Issue Type (Required): Talents Issue Description (Required): See title. The Kinetic Flayer talent for the Brain Burst blitz ability has a 12sec cooldown, and will not fire when at 97%+ peril. However, if the player hits a valid target while above this peril threshold then the talent will go on cooldown as if it had fired. The appearance of the ...
how hateful
ugh, got to the end event in Silo and lost.
Wait, what??
Cracker of Boner.
this guy gotta be trolling
How can he justify taking blazing spirit instead of something like shred or precog because it helps building soulblaze stacks and not taking perilous combustion
That he can do havoc with it and think it's good is just him not realizing that scryers+dd is carrying him
Time to play with his build 😏
Looks amazing
Because he probably needs more speed with the laspistol.
Bro is dumping mobility on it to get stability to 80 smh
Does assail count as a "ranged attack"?
Yessir
This guy doesn’t really understand psyker from watching some of his vids
i looked at this build too, it's out-performed in every metric by a purga-build
Short story; Fun, but flawed
Mr E (and think tanner too in part) told a bunch people that PC was needed to get get enough SB to do decent damage, but that the caps changed on purg so PC wasn't needed anymore.
edit: Apologies, Mr. E said PC can now (as in a new change) to PC caps. I did a Mr E.
Sooo yeah, I don't trust him for psyker stuff.
I don't watch him, so I idk about other classes. Given how he handles info for psyker, I'm guessing bad.
I find that the best darktide YouTubers don't make build/guide content
They just post challenge runs
Maybe besides the rare Jsat post detailing havoc I think this holds up
Best in terms of knowledge and skill
Not the most popular
Just a funny trend I found out
You get popular making build guides by having a nice voice and production quality
Mr. E does have a nice voice.
Being enjoyable gets views
ye
That's literally what videos are for
Add subway surfers to a corner of your vids
We need to get you that platinum plaque
I still have a 50 min H40 vet shovel video waiting to upload
I'm thinking of a title and thumbnail
health or toughness in H40 nowadays?
3x stamina
health or toughness in H40 nowadays?
3x wounds
go away you overhyped sardine
Toughess will always be better then health, especially on psyker now with the damage reduction they get that is both health and toughness
Havoc does not change curios for any class
with some EE builds you may not need toughness
Common curio combo is 3 tough. 2 tough/1 HP. 2 tough/1 stam
Stamina is also something that isn't needed anymore
With warp ghost you basically get a free stamina curio
Psyker is a dumb class
Waiter waiter
More buffs please

Never played bf1 😔
welp
awesome song first of all
second...devil claw, kinetic deflection build
devil claw with KD and stam to do it forever has been a thing for a while, but,
then you have to use dclaw
Local guardsman ravages heretics with shovel, and you have to make the thumbnail super cancer with red arrows circles and emojis
Thems the rules
What changed with PC? I still use it in my meleeker build and get decent warpfire dmg from it
Kejetok would probably know
Purg - Blaze away or penetrating flame
I already have TS, was just wondering if that run would've counted.
Blaze away
Only death was from a pogryn kicking someone into the abyss
You never drop blaze away
Always Blaze Away

Second can be Warp Nexus or Pen Flames, but imo Warp Nexus is better
with a coordinated team, pen flames could be better
as it is unique brittleness
stacks on top of other sources
Pen flames is more for bubble staff anyways if you go shriek you should always CRIT stack.
Stack the flames
Yes
Sad part about bubble, especially on boss-heavy or rotten armor maps, is that veterans and arbiters can outdamage you
:(
I'm pretty pleased with my last run. Team knew what was up. I bring bubble on Magistrati, and they let me just put down bubbles and clear hordes while they trio'd bosses
There's nothing bad on doing housekeeping work and cleaning the fodder so only plasteel remains
80% uptime on psykinetic's aura, 78% uptime on Souldrinker
Psykinetic downtime shouldn't really exist as long as there's a single elite on screen now a days

So yeah
Yeah, it's just silly
I had like 50-60% uptime pre-patch
Legit can keep building a house with the wall shields with that CDR
Sure you get your shriek up slightly slower but you will have it up more on account of the fact there's no downtime on your cdr.
jeez, I had 44% combat uptime on being in bubbles
that's pretty silly
half the game in bubble
You had nearly 50% uptime on yellow toughness not accounting for overlap
bubble buff lingers slightly
Nothing changed with PC when that video was made.
what's the name of that build inspector mod?
the one that allows u to inspect builds from social menu
inspect from social?
Just did silo cluster with the inferno modifier. Idk if DD targeting itself is different or if the highlights themselves were fecked, but I kept getting sections where there was no highlighted targets despite bruisers and stalker being around (not the mobian dudes). Had more incidents of far away targets getting marked too.
Kinda felt like older DD but worse.
Inspect from social is nice.
There's also one for party finder.
I will not mind when rotten armor drops from the rotation
team mates is screaming at you from vc to help with the data interogattor? smite
your psyker went down again and you need someone to revive them? smite
yuo want to trigger a bunch of ragers to be able to spam parry? smite
other than that? hack and slash
but how can i damage farm with uncanny pushing 😠
nah fr i like that rot armour lets vets compete with psyker for top dmg
It feels fine when you have a coordinated team that knows roles
it feels frustrating otherwise
thoughts on this build? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0376f90-71aa-4cd5-ac32-29b44c48f53c/novellos-meleepsyker
I have meleeker builds in the pinned guide if you want to compare
some I made as well as a number of builds from better meleekers in here
The glass cannon not made of glass
Took 30 seconds to visit the veteran channel. Immediate regret ☠️
Why so?
We're just having a realistic view on the current darktide balance
Psyker is leagues above everyone else while having nearly no downsides
Update after update it's psyker buffs
And it's ruining people's view on difficulty and balance
I just saw fire and brimstone towards psyker lol
IDK that I'd say the class has no down sides
It's arsenal is pretty lacking
everyone talking rn have thousands of hours across all classes
and have been playing since launch
And it doesn't have nearly the immortality capabilities of others
they are talking nonsense though
I started playing a year ago. I'm just not into deep havoc yet
Hell I don't even think that was a thing when I started
soon a year
I do think vet got the shit end of the stick but it's not like he doesn't have some good stuff. But as someone who has played every class into endgame except vet, they are all pretty strong imo
vet is op
vet is giga strong rn
Of the classes I've played i think ogryn the least experienced
Vet has obvious weakness, like how the only source of DR they have is toughness based
IDK about strength I'm just talking about interesting mechanics
and is very finicky
being coherency and if they are above 75% toughness
without that they are wet noodles
but they have strong ranged and melee options, and debatably the strongest melee (Psword)
Sounds difficult to manage
exe stance is fun
shout is fun and relible
being a hybrid grandier class is fun
vet aint lacking
Vet has a lack of weapon variety in havoc mainly.
Wish some outlier weapons would be buffed
that's the case with everyone tho
indeed
Different strokes ig.
u can run whatever in havoc but the mode favors meta if u wanna min max
most people dont want to bring the non op things since they wont get enough wins without them
vet is defo one of the classes in the game warhammer darktide
DS/Psword
Probably why I'll never see Max havoc levels. I don't even run prefab builds much less meta weapons
@hazy birch wanna havoc sometime?
I dunno, i feel like i can get some outlier weapons to work in havoc with zealot.
if pfalchion was better and plasma gun reworok gets through it'd be way nicer
Honestly, that is actually one of vet's strong points rn.
Their arsenal can be pretty varied for havoc
which ones?
Yes the plasma gun is still like
When?
Crusher, eviscerator, thunder hammer
The cream of the crop generally but there are other options that hold up in havoc well
whenever really. my schedule is very free outside my afternoon naps
I'm on currently if you want to run a few
i'm using thunder hammer right now and i'm using eviscerator on another build
Testing psyker shit
down to do so
be forewarned i'm on my zealot though
From what I've seen at these levels I don't think it will be an issue
Running shotgun or helbore on a ranged veteran is pain.
Though, new psyker builds been volatile for me
inv me whenever
Wtb force rod weapons so I can bonk some heretics.
Alr one min
wts force rod weapon 300 aquilas grey

This is high way robbery. I’m alerting the inquisition

Hear me out. Exec stance in Inferno. Everything is yellow. Thank god for mods.
eermmm beloved says 🤓
i assure you i am not offline ._.
Yeah, well anytime i do run that i just want to pull out my melee weapon and just play melee vet instead.
I do not own the rights to this recording. It is intended for promotional purposes only.

unironically love the song
it's a very good song. And very relevant to your melk bucks
its whats next to my name xD
credit card info
You load 500,000 Melk Bucks and what do you get?
Sent
this build is unapologetically bad except bonking bosses
Mines a horde slaying machine
We don't deserve Kuli. These guides are so good.
Revive speed is very good
it got its needed buff
I have changed my curios to 2x toughness/1x health + 3x gunner/3x CDR/1x toughness/2x revive speed
Might even drop the third smol toughness for revive speed
not sure
They're only 4 toughness each, so 120 down to 112 currenty.
I religiously run 3
is this not using JAD bug though?
that's auric?
auric scaling
Jad bug?
like that if you arent at crit peril it gives the full dr for even gaining 0.01% peril
you go down from 97 a split second before it hits you which puts you back at 97 so you get 25% DR from it
When I was testing it, it wasn't proccing JaD at all at 97%
yeah hes at 96.8 when he gets hit
it puts him back to 97
Do the same with a vet
?
Ainz
plenty of classes can survive overheads with the right set up
yes and they have more toughness/hp
im not out here saying psyker isnt really strong or anything but surviving overheads with the perfect set up isnt like, crazy or anything
it would be a normal build
just take bubble, path to syphon, and take the DR talent
and be high peril
so the only DR here is OWtW and JAD?
Not sure why Auric even matters
and JAD is definitely giving you 25% DR here
Immaterial is also working
it works at any peril %
so you have like, 70% effective DR or something for this hit
I have all 3 DR talents, bubble TDR, and the grey node TDR
oh even more then
this is a perfect scenario of hard stacking every bit of DR and TDR possible
every class can do this and the bubble tdr is irrelevant
zel can do this but even better
vet can't. zealot, arby and ogryn can muster up dr like this but ofc, they don't have the damage potential that psyker does
did they buff scriers again; i feel like i have much more uptime recently
yes
Extremely, yes
waiter waiter, more gaze buffs
vet can
and vet rn actually rivals psyker for dmg output in H40 rot
in a way its better because their dmg is immediate and into crusher blobs instead of farming off trash
they have absolutely no pure damage reduction
that's the thing actually keeping vet in check at this point
so
oh i see they changed how psykinetics works to benefit scriers more? LOL
why not, add bots
in psyc?
with the mod
Ainz and Syllogism, what are you running for Psyker curios currently? I am curious
Another gaze buff would be funny.
We might have to write a collective letter or something.
I think they're talking about true solo
I forgot the name, it just spawns bots
i was playing some scriers trauma and it was so stupid, i think i almost never stopped being in warp unbound
Bot Spawner
maybe they should just remove the 50% quell from scriers
Oh it really is just called, Bot Spawner
i don't feel like it needed to be even less likely to headsplode than shriek
3 tough, +3 toughness +3 gunner res, +3 cdr
Getting arby bots in the psyk with the invisible dog is funny.
50% quell on activate for Scrier's is honestly completely unnecessary given how easy it is to overlap with Warp Unbound
idek where they should nerf psykuh
gotcha. 98 health feels spooky to me, hence the big health curio. Still weighing if 3x smol toughness or 3x revive speed or a mix of the two is better
it won't be nearly enough but they should at least remove rending soulblaze
Yes, let's make the ability that's all about taking risk, and completely neuter the risk!
cdr revive speed and whatever on purg/trauma, on surge surge I've been running health and corruption res because toughness feels irrelevant. Could also run that with bubble knight I guess
with the DR you get, iirc you can survive 2 bursters
for me with 1 hp curio and 1 corr res i can survive 1 burster but not 2
with health+corruption res you won't get deleted by a crusher overhead in h40
need to look into this
so if you don't need toughness for gunners, it's fine
yknow
psyker rework isnt actually done yet
what if it gets buffed in the next update
Then it would be broken
Im fine with it
is it possible to survive an H40 overhead without JAD? i dont think it is
I hope for more talents that synergize with non crit playstyles for melee weapons.
Survive as in not go down or not get deleted
i dont think thhats gonna happen honestly
small grey nodes + stealth
the entire right side is crit stuff in some way
ogryn and arbites
the only real way would be to make soulblaze melee functional
since people do quite want that
Inb4 they give psyker vets stealth
oh god please no we shouldnt have 2 of those eto begin with
Shadow caster 
😨
Opening Salvo?
testing build
Oh intentionally bad talent pathing
max DR
You forgot ET
Undeniable proof we should nerf vet
Toughness stacking will never not be funny but not the best idea on Vet
voidstrike really is that bad huh
I think that for psyker to be healthy all the staves need to be somewhere below voidstrike's current power level
then only melee psyker is good, which is fine i guess
hopefully melee psyker also doesn't continue to get a buff every patch
but idk really how you fix psyker so it doesn't feel wildly stronger than all the other classes
Voidstrike is, uh, pretty bad.
psyker has suffered for long enough, don't beg for nerfs already
well obviously
That's like 90% an uncanny strikes issue
change scab rager default armor type to cara
I do
psyker invalidates like the whole base game
Suffered? Payker was ALWAYS the cool guy
Idk ogryn became pretty cool 😎
the build diversity wasn't great, you had to do some annoying stuff often
Ogryn is the coolest guy
Even now psyker has 2 build paths, with some specific minor adjustments
can you use kinetic flayer to complete power up and prioritise targets penances?
This, but well see what new class is
this is also not true
the issue is that multiple psykers running inferno doesnt work
There's not so many Sparkhead players
you can run 2 of any class with no issues
2 DS plasma shout vets? awesome
2 psykers with inferno? bad.
I feel like I see more zealots than psykers
There’s a lot of zealots and vets out there. And Arby’s.
Ogryns are kinda rare I find! And psykers, while rare, always seem to show up in groups of 3 in matches I play
I see mostly vets, arbiters, and psykers. Some zealots, some ogryns.
This i guess but i. That lobby its either 3 vets or 3 zealots usually and I'm the psyker 
Finding a duo of ogryns is a treat tho
3 psykers and a pick orgy is my fav tho
pick orgy 

tbh with the huge scab hp buffs even the pick feels weak in rotten armor
feels bad man

Voidstrike. :<
rot armour + stims i think 2 vets minimum is the way to go to make it easier
krak spam is no joke
yea except when demo team just stops working
I just did one earlier with all classes but arbiter
was super smooth
yeah the OG comp also feels great
Was on Magistrati, so I took bubble
but, dog arbs can be very good vs stims
im wondering if like 2 club ogryns might be the way with one using cs n go again n the other using thunderous n valuable distraction
pinning blue ragers to the floor really solves problems
kinda wanna try a 4 arfbitrator stack
i do think though that in rot specifically vet is really, really good
I'm ngl, SG is feeling way better than i thought it would. And i'm saying this comparatively to shriek even. EK staff + FGS with warp unbound finesse bonus SG was nuts. Took warp siphon for perma uptime. 3000+ dmg per fgs heavy
And of course endless m2 ek spam
shriek doesnt do much outside comboed with EK staff
needs secret team comp names like in Darkest Dungeon.
and max soulblaze stack for purg I guess
Shriek the world
but gaze gives too many buffs to be comparable to the other abiltiies
gaze is like a keystone
Yeah, i use it on my inferno cause im not a bubble psyker but goddamn sg with ek + fgs was holy moly
Brain off, max peril buffs, nonstop ek m2s
Hitting crushers from afar for 2500 damage
no you arent
On crit
Yes
Warp siphon
Is there too
I would take a video but i am in bed
Shriek still does more damage, but a lot of it tends to be "useless" damage on enemies liable to die anyway
Very good for the scoreboard tho 
yes
That was a mess
?
Yea it shouldn't have been that difficult
that arb made pretty questionable choices too though
i died early on cuz i downed and he just let me bleed out
even with full toughness just stood there and kinda watched me and the vet bleed out
I wonder if I should try a warp rupture shriek build that has no SB
maybe rending trauma
shriek without creeping flames is so very, very bad
why no SB though
I was constantly overwhelmed
just to see if it'd do something interesting and not just a straight downgrade
My damage is good but I can't solo the entire screen lol
vintage story???
voidstrike
fellow vintage story enjoyer spotted
im testing it. but i rarely use it anyways
if you just want a weapon to like have range and hit ranged things pretty sure EK LMB would be better.
want a good single target option with versatility. frankly i dont think my ek does much single target
but regardless, i was top damage until we wiped. both games.
i mean.....i'm an infiltrate zealot. i'm not gonna top damage
took a while but the arb did eventually surpass me while i was dead lol
but you didn't have to worry about bosses so i did my job
yea but i need to be able to do it all for pubs.
if i specialize in bosses then im useless the rest of the game which is 95% of the game
i just need to be able to do meaninful damage
i also stealthed a few objectives and such
most my build revolves around melee and assail
so ya know
yea i aint sweatin it
Play gunker
ijs i like to focus on the horde clear while trying to maximize whatever i can for bigger stuff. which is tough
i mean, FGS does respectable damage against hordes and bosses
or well really single target
i mean its boss damage is okayish ig
psyker is usually not a boss killer unless FGS or gunker
never feels amazing
but its a horde nightmare
im using FGS
but i dont have a build designed to giga stack a snapshot to one shot bosses
that's not what psyker does
def aint what mine does lol
but im pumping into the horde like a madman
which im good with
no I mean no psykers are really oneshot stuff
FGS won't one shot bosses
i pump gallons into the horde
infiltrate zealot is really the only 1 shot bosses thing
like FGS is the closest you get to oneshotting stuff, and that still needs a lot of DD stacks
gallons of ozone from my EK
idk what my actual damage is vs bosses but i know its not spectacular
you should really try a gun instead of voidstrike but if you're having fun with it shrugs
to the point i dont even usually hit them unless theres nothing else to hit
it handles hordes around the bosses
i usually just focus on helping keep trash away from the team so they can deal with the boss
yeah that's perf fine
yea aint lyin. i been considering bringing a gun
that's fine and all, like the thing is as long as my team can create an opening for me (and it's not a captain) i can normally 1 shot or nearly 1 shot bosses
it just feels dirty. i mean i have gun classes.
just bring a gun. it's better than VS
im just testing void strike. normally i run ek or flame
BUT i dont like EKs damage
its mediocre at best
yeah because psyker doesn't have a need for such
there's nothing that really compares to a bolt gun on psyker i don't think
bolt pistol just......isn't bolt gun
but i use that on other classes. i want this one to feel unique
no but its still better than most these staves lol
could try laspistol or recon lasgun...
i dont do lasguns
why? lol
talk about limp noodles
you're having a lot of preconceived notion for no real reason
ive used em
combat shotgun is good imo
they felt weak af
^^
las pistol with DD and scriers fucks too
like fine if you wanna roleplay a wizard with all warp weapons or whatever
stacks are alright
might drop the 25 stack boost tho. i get uptime but idk if its worth the point
there are times i make good use of it tho
i just feel like ive got other classes to play rambo on. arbiter and zealot namely
also have an ogryn but thats its own thing
i just want this to feel different
it's not really a rambo thing, gunker is a crit synergy machine
i imagine this is a specific meta build people run
I mean it's just right side of the tree
no
you can go very wide with gunkers
Agri combat shotgun is quite good
only scriers I ever see is people being cringe with smite
but then im not doin much with my blitz
idk where you are playing but I see plenty
my build is pretty heavy melee
Do you not have Psykinetic's Aura?
and both are good
i usually dump assail then dive into the horde and start swingin
im honestly glad I don't
people suck

idk what that is
oh the 60% cd
The cooldown reduction talent. It's not in your chart
no not on this build. but whats that got to do with DD stack uptime?
DD? Nothing. But combat abilities, everything
vent
there's been a lot of takes in this convo
Lordy.
its almost always off cd
has there?
that explains why your perfect timing stacks are low if you're not even running SG
are you using warp siphon?
what would that have to do with those stacks?
those are based off me last hitting marked targets
Hey mr psyker gimme a build
Psykinetic’s Aura takes Shriek, without Siphon, from a 30 second cooldown to like a 19 second cooldown
Is in pins!
perfect timing is +dmg on crits
Thank you mr psyker
no
really only using vent as an oh shit button. im not trying to spam it
Dang you wasnt kidding it has errything
you're just losing out on so much for no reason
yeah crits are lacking, ability spam is lacking
you'd have to be doing ungodly amounts of other things to make up for nuking your ability, and at that point, you'd benefit more from SG anyway which also dumps the same amount of peril no?
bubble knight is fun
Assailker
bubker and flamker are one in the same
doesn't have to be
just flavourtext the shriek in place if running shriek
Oh yeah kinda
does anyone know if warp battery makes the "powered up" penance harder?
ive tested it. my only issue with it is its annoying to use
6 stacks isn't hard to reach really
true
compared to 4
at least vent gives me some cc to work with
there is no gun in psyker's arsenal that will be able to really delete a horde of crushers. no staff either btw
especially with inferno staff and infire reborn no?
i guess rending trauma would probably be the closest to it
or is the psychic vampire talent better?
I put a lot of time into making it. I hope it's helpful
Definately is mr frog
if you have enough SB then IFR is better
IFR better iirc
...do you not have Creeping Flames? I don't see the Shriek buff in your uptime that paths to Creeping Flames.
Also, if it's just an "Oh Shit" button, SG also immediately vents 50% peril...
probably not
he's just using shriek as a vent dump
I see.
lower cooldown too

im just a shitter my opinion doesnt actually matter on whats good or not
you realistically have very little downtime with SG anyway
as stated, SG is annoying to deal with and offers nothing but the damage. ive used it. not averse to using it i just find watching my peril skyrocket for no reason annoying. and in my tests i didnt feel some amazing damage difference
ye lol
I mean. For a melee build, SG is significantly better, especially if not using Shriek for horde clear with flames.
high peril, more damage/crit and TDR
there's so much high peril synergy
this too, warp ghost my beloved
To be a fish or a seagull
like practice being at around 80% peril at all times
I will offer what wisdom I have
a sheep
i try to keep it over 50
whats better, psychic vampire or in flames reborn? considering i am using inferno staff i recokon IFR?
if the tentacles aren't earraping me every 5 seconds im playing wrong
but running at 100 for several seconds is nerve racking
IFR yes
IFR is always better if you have a source of Soulblaze on your team. IFR only needs an enemy to be on fire, not die to it, and does not have a coherency range limit
Psychic Vampire feels bad imo
SG also has a 10 second no overload node lol
I'll tell my kids this primarch lion
if you have warp unbound on SG there's a mod that shows a timer
yea but no warning for when its about to drop off
just...dont...quelling is really fast isnt it?
but yes 10 seconds critical peril save is so nice
Is cleverly named?
even no mod, its a priority buff on the bottom, with a red icon that you can see dropping off
Oh, and IFR works regardless of who put the soulblaze on the enemy. So if you have a 0 soulblaze build and an ally has Inferno, you will still get IFR bonuses
like i said, thats the annoying part. trying to get the most out of being at max like that without overloading. i just dont like the ability.
Nah pop off
i mostly use that to keep blasting for 2 secs and then think "NOPE TIME TO QUELL I DONT WANNA GO BOOM" and use none of the critical peril bonuses
pop off?
Vent
oh...shit
cool
Yeah, it's quite good.
sienna wishes
fair enough
Psychic Vampire, I feel, offers very little. If I am not killing elites/specials, I get like 2 stacks by the time my cooldown is finished
Pretty eh
true...well maybe its better on hordes..?
sigh........ i might start learning how to use FGS
idk
feels like treason
yeah I use WG/ER on my bubble/purga build
warp ghost just sounds horrible
many flaming for many time
💀
why so?
almost zero passive quelling
this
yea
and makes you not...explode?
Eh, I was running it on H40 with a rending trauma build. It wasn't impressive
i guess if u are okay with that. not my playstyle
isnt quelling like the biggest thing on psyker?
I believe so.
the whosnwhat?
tap quelling on staffs my beloved
I'm only skipping warp ghost if I have crit focused SB builds where I want to use all of my peril gauge for like trauma or EK
if im quelling, im not doing damage
also right above ER is 30% quell speed lol
like...the one thing that makes psyker be psyker
i suppose if i was running a gun build or something that didnt require me to keep increasing my peril to actually do damage, such a thing would be better.
well....if you're waiting for passive quelling which is slower its also les damage
I feel like you don't really know when you're doing damage or not
i cant type
when you're running suboptimal meleekers and stuff
its just additive with my other stuff thats quelling for me
kid named warp rider:
like quelling on kill and whatnot
