literally nothing

ripe obsidian
#

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

tulip kettle
#

we can afford to lose toughness now

#

which i assume you have as minors on curios

ripe obsidian
#

Aye.

#

Would have to see how much toughness I lose

tulip kettle
#

with 2 tough curios and only 1 5% tough you should have 120 tough in a 40

graceful arch
#

I am running 2 corruption res cause I am shit at the game.

#

2 bomber 2 gunner 3 cd 2 corru.

tulip kettle
#

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

graceful arch
#

I like bomber res for tox bombers.

tulip kettle
#

either fire does nothing or youre dying to it

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

i agree i always have at least 1

summer prairie
#

got declined from a h30 for running trauma shriek, very normal

ripe obsidian
#

No bubble, no game

royal totem
#

trauma shriek? i'll decline you from an h20! /s

tulip kettle
#

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! "

graceful arch
#

I mean yeah gunners aren't as big of a threat as my randoms seem to think they are.

tulip kettle
#

theyre a massive threat if they are scared to push them and engage em in melee

#

reapers also genuinely threatening in cranial

plucky flax
#

Krak out

tulip kettle
#

cranial reapers ignoring supression can be very not nice

graceful arch
#

Oubliette first event on a gunner seed can be genuinely disgusting if someone aggroes the gunners early.

royal totem
#

infiltrate isn't for getting to gunners. it's to kill that solo crusher your teammate is fighting

young cliff
#

Infiltrate or shroud field?

royal totem
#

shroud field! 😄

daring nexus
#

Can someone explain wildfire to me?

rich spindle
#

Infiltrate main use is having an icon you can glance down at to check if it’s off cooldown yet

tulip kettle
#

if you are running multiple sources of soulblaze and kinetic flayer its very very good

#

otherwise its not so good

daring nexus
tulip kettle
#

nobody agrees its useless

#

only idiots who dont understand the game

hearty wolf
#

Dom gaslighting again

#

How dare you call Agent an idiot wtf

tulip kettle
#

people said it was bad like, a year ago.

#

it wasnt, even then

royal totem
#

"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."

tulip kettle
#

now with the new trees its very, very good.

rich spindle
#

I think it’s ok if you’re only soulblazing though pc or blaze trauma. It’s fairly useless on purg imo

ripe obsidian
rich spindle
#

Happy to hear more

tulip kettle
#

without wildfire your stacks wont spread to targets you arent blazing

#

with wildfire, they will

hearty wolf
daring nexus
#

How exactly does it improve your damage? Can it like brake the SB stack cap or something?

hearty wolf
#

Take it out of context

rich spindle
#

In my experience, it’s trivially easy to put stacks on enemies with the inf cleave aoe

ripe obsidian
#

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

tulip kettle
#

its not about stack cap

#

its about proccing your other talents

hearty wolf
tulip kettle
#

just what six said above

#

wildfire is good if you have lots of soulblaze

#

if your only soulblaze is PC, its not very good.

rancid jasper
#

Wildfire is very nice with souldrinker

quartz barn
#

i just had a lvl 9511 vet on my team loregryn

ripe obsidian
#

Wildfire on its own is meh. Wildfire in combination with other Soulblaze stuff is great

rich spindle
#

In my experience it usually just spreads 1 stack to 4 nearby enemies, which is not very helpful

quartz barn
#

bro picked up grenades, so needless to say he got kicked

plucky flax
tulip kettle
#

now lets imagine a scenario

ripe obsidian
rich spindle
#

Ok

hearty wolf
#

Wildfire is acceleration. Acceleration is damage. Damage means things dead. Dead things don't deal damage.

tulip kettle
#

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

ripe obsidian
#

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

tulip kettle
#

and now everything is dead.

daring nexus
#

Does adding a new stack of SB refresh the duration of all the stacks?

rich spindle
tulip kettle
#

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

hearty wolf
#

Is opportunity cost

#

What are you taking that's better than wildfire

ripe obsidian
daring nexus
#

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?

ripe obsidian
hearty wolf
rich spindle
#

Applying 2 stacks takes so little time with the infinite cleave aoe staff

hearty wolf
#

You're getting to the higher numbers faster

rich spindle
#

Wiggle your mouse across the screen done

tulip kettle
#

which will then proc KF

#

which will then proc PC

hearty wolf
tulip kettle
#

which will then cause more PC procs

#

and now they are all dead

ripe obsidian
hearty wolf
#

I don't think you understand how valuable time is

daring nexus
#

What about if you’re not running kinetic flayer? I use shards

tulip kettle
#

then its worse

#

but like

#

what build are you running with multiple sources of soulblaze and shards

rich spindle
tulip kettle
#

*that doesnt suck

rich spindle
#

I understand that this is pretty much impossible to reason out with words, I’d love to see some test footage

hearty wolf
#

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

rich spindle
#

Right now I really don’t think wildfire is much of a dps boost in games

tulip kettle
#

again, wildfire enables interactions

#

it enables souldrinker

#

it enables IFR

hearty wolf
#

Wildfire is so hilariously broken in the most understated way

tulip kettle
#

it enables KF

#

its not just about flat DPS

rich spindle
#

Infinite cleave aoe + pc is doing 99% of the work, imo

modest perch
hearty wolf
#

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

tulip kettle
#

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

ripe obsidian
daring nexus
rich spindle
tulip kettle
#

man just said "blazing spirit sword build"

hearty wolf
#

Win more talent

tulip kettle
#

wildfire is very important on blazing trauma

rich spindle
#

I agree with that

tulip kettle
#

blazing swords are not a thing

hearty wolf
#

You don't even use melee

#

You don't know

modest perch
tulip kettle
#

i spend about half the game with my melee out

modest perch
#

blazing spirit greatsword + fire trauma can be good bro just trust me bro

tulip kettle
#

granted, im using it to push

hearty wolf
#

Still a ranged bot unit

rancid jasper
hearty wolf
#

You're like the sentry units in Bloons 😭

tulip kettle
#

be nice to me or i wont carry you to getting 40 after your name again 😠

daring nexus
modest perch
#

nah

tulip kettle
#

but blazing spirit swords are god awful

modest perch
#

we all wish it was good and worked but it just doesnt

tulip kettle
#

i can explain why but i really cba

hearty wolf
#

You just invite me to games where no one moves

tulip kettle
#

just take it from us

hearty wolf
#

It's mental torture

modest perch
tulip kettle
#

it sucks and you shouldnt run it

rancid jasper
#

But it still sucks

rich spindle
#

I usually path through empiric shock instead of wildfire

tulip kettle
#

madness

ripe obsidian
#

Souldrinker is great now

#

I mean

modest perch
ripe obsidian
#

It was always great

#

Just not worth pathing to

#

But now it's just there

tulip kettle
#

factual

modest perch
#

idk if id say it was great

rich spindle
#

Or is that souldrinker. Idk what the new tree is. It’s all so OP you don’t have to agonize over it anymore

rancid jasper
ripe obsidian
#

70% or something uptime

modest perch
#

it was ok

ripe obsidian
tulip kettle
#

now its godlike

#

like, the majority of your toughness in a game coming from it levels of godlike

rancid jasper
rancid jasper
#

Now that it's so easy to get I take it even more

daring nexus
#

Enemies don’t need to die from soulblaze to proc everything they just need to have it when they die right?

royal totem
#

correct

summer prairie

It's inconsistent

But doesn't matter

oh

weary crane
#

Wait has the KF peril bug always been there?

summer prairie
#

yes

weary crane
#

They updated it in the last update but ignored the bug

#

Lol

ripe obsidian
#

What is the peril bug?

#

I do not know this

weary crane
#

But doesn't actually do the BB

#

Tbh idk why the critical peril limitation is there to begin with

#

Should be removed

ripe obsidian
#

Explains why I was having KF go on CD without doing anything

#

Thought I was just missing it

weary crane
#

Yeah

pallid stump
#

man

ripe obsidian
#

@tulip kettle I'm sitting at 112 toughness w/ 2 large toughness and 1 small. How are you getting to 120?

pallid stump
#

i really dont like the mk 6 greatsword

hearty wolf
#

What is "infinite"

ripe obsidian
#

Makes sense

#

I doubt 112 versus 120 makes any meaningful difference tbh

weary crane
ripe obsidian

A fucking crusher just overheaded me while a chaos spawn had me

Cracker of Boner.

patent mango
cosmic sigil
#

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

royal totem

Time to play with his build 😏

#

Short story; Fun, but flawed

strong gulch
#

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.

weary crane
#

Omfg my havoc team

#

Just watch a vet stare at a sniper for 2 seconds

verbal thistle
#

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

verbal thistle
#

Not the most popular

#

Just a funny trend I found out

rich spindle
#

You get popular making build guides by having a nice voice and production quality

strong gulch
#

Mr. E does have a nice voice.

verbal thistle

Being enjoyable gets views

rich spindle
#

I was trolling

#

I said sorry

verbal thistle
#

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

summer prairie
#

with some EE builds you may not need toughness

verbal thistle
#

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

second...devil claw, kinetic deflection build

tulip kettle
#

devil claw with KD and stam to do it forever has been a thing for a while, but,

#

then you have to use dclaw

verbal thistle
#

Which has been null and void when DS exists

#

But claw is still fun

ripe obsidian
#

did a magistrati H40 rot + stims first try

#

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

graceful arch
#

Pen flames is more for bubble staff anyways if you go shriek you should always CRIT stack.

ripe obsidian
#

Stack the flames

graceful arch
#

Yes

ripe obsidian
#

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

So yeah

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, it's just silly

#

Nice nerf fs

#

They just made it more consistent

ripe obsidian
#

I had like 50-60% uptime pre-patch

young cliff
#

Legit can keep building a house with the wall shields with that CDR

graceful arch
#

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.

ripe obsidian
#

jeez, I had 44% combat uptime on being in bubbles

#

that's pretty silly

#

half the game in bubble

graceful arch
#

You had nearly 50% uptime on yellow toughness not accounting for overlap

what's the name of that build inspector mod?

#

the one that allows u to inspect builds from social menu

quartz barn
#

inspect from social?

strong gulch
#

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.

hazy birch
#

Took 30 seconds to visit the veteran channel. Immediate regret ☠️

verbal thistle
#

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

hazy birch
#

I just saw fire and brimstone towards psyker lol

#

IDK that I'd say the class has no down sides

verbal thistle
#

compared to others

#

yes

hazy birch
#

It's arsenal is pretty lacking

verbal thistle
#

everyone talking rn have thousands of hours across all classes

#

and have been playing since launch

hazy birch
#

And it doesn't have nearly the immortality capabilities of others

verbal thistle
#

It will take time before you can realize

#

you are still a bit of a new player

summer prairie
#

they are talking nonsense though

hazy birch
#

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

verbal thistle
#

which is all good

#

probably not

#

havoc is new ish

#

I forgot when they added it

summer prairie
#

soon a year

hazy birch
#

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

summer prairie
#

vet is op

loud girder
#

vet is giga strong rn

hazy birch
#

Of the classes I've played i think ogryn the least experienced

verbal thistle
#

Vet has obvious weakness, like how the only source of DR they have is toughness based

hazy birch
#

IDK about strength I'm just talking about interesting mechanics

verbal thistle
#

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)

hazy birch
#

Sounds difficult to manage

loud girder
#

being a hybrid grandier class is fun

#

vet aint lacking

wet belfry
#

Vet has a lack of weapon variety in havoc mainly.

#

Wish some outlier weapons would be buffed

loud girder
#

that's the case with everyone tho

verbal thistle
#

indeed

hazy birch

#

u can run whatever in havoc but the mode favors meta if u wanna min max

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.

crisp ether
#

I religiously run revive speed on my classes now tbh

#

at least one

white sky
#

I religiously run 3

verbal thistle
#

funny

#

I wasnt even full toughness

tulip kettle
#

is this not using JAD bug though?

summer prairie
#

that's auric?

verbal thistle
#

auric scaling

verbal thistle
tulip kettle
#

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

summer prairie
#

When I was testing it, it wasn't proccing JaD at all at 97%

tulip kettle
#

yeah hes at 96.8 when he gets hit

verbal thistle
#

I can do it without JAD

#

to see

#

one sec

tulip kettle
#

it puts him back to 97

summer prairie
#

Do the same with a vet

tulip kettle
#

?

summer prairie
#

Ainz

tulip kettle
#

plenty of classes can survive overheads with the right set up

summer prairie
#

yes and they have more toughness/hp

tulip kettle
#

im not out here saying psyker isnt really strong or anything but surviving overheads with the perfect set up isnt like, crazy or anything

verbal thistle
#

it would be a normal build

#

just take bubble, path to syphon, and take the DR talent

#

and be high peril

tulip kettle
#

so the only DR here is OWtW and JAD?

summer prairie
#

Not sure why Auric even matters

tulip kettle
#

and JAD is definitely giving you 25% DR here

verbal thistle
#

it works at any peril %

tulip kettle
#

so you have like, 70% effective DR or something for this hit

verbal thistle
#

I have all 3 DR talents, bubble TDR, and the grey node TDR

tulip kettle
#

oh even more then

crisp ether
#

Ah yes, I'd like my glass cannon.

#

But hold the glass.

tulip kettle
#

this is a perfect scenario of hard stacking every bit of DR and TDR possible

summer prairie
#

every class can do this and the bubble tdr is irrelevant

tulip kettle
#

zel can do this but even better

verbal thistle
#

bonk, same setup, but no JAD

crisp ether
tulip kettle
#

yeah its JAD being broken

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

crisp ether
#

that's the thing actually keeping vet in check at this point

summer prairie
#

so

verbal thistle
#

testing vet rn

#

1 min

burnt gazelle
#

oh i see they changed how psykinetics works to benefit scriers more? LOL

verbal thistle
#

yes

#

I cant get this in testing

summer prairie
#

why not, add bots

verbal thistle
#

in psyc?

summer prairie
#

with the mod

verbal thistle
#

which one?

#

I might not have

#

never done it before

ripe obsidian
#

Ainz and Syllogism, what are you running for Psyker curios currently? I am curious

strong gulch
#

Another gaze buff would be funny.

We might have to write a collective letter or something.

crisp ether
#

I think they're talking about true solo

summer prairie
#

I forgot the name, it just spawns bots

burnt gazelle
#

i was playing some scriers trauma and it was so stupid, i think i almost never stopped being in warp unbound

crisp ether
#

But not with the QoL

#

I think?

summer prairie
#

Bot Spawner

patent mango
#

maybe they should just remove the 50% quell from scriers

crisp ether
#

Oh it really is just called, Bot Spawner

burnt gazelle
#

i don't feel like it needed to be even less likely to headsplode than shriek

verbal thistle
strong gulch
#

Getting arby bots in the psyk with the invisible dog is funny.

crisp ether
#

50% quell on activate for Scrier's is honestly completely unnecessary given how easy it is to overlap with Warp Unbound

patent mango
#

idek where they should nerf psykuh

ripe obsidian
burnt gazelle
#

it won't be nearly enough but they should at least remove rending soulblaze

crisp ether
#

Yes, let's make the ability that's all about taking risk, and completely neuter the risk!

summer prairie
#

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

verbal thistle
tulip kettle
#

for me with 1 hp curio and 1 corr res i can survive 1 burster but not 2

summer prairie
#

with health+corruption res you won't get deleted by a crusher overhead in h40

tulip kettle
#

need to look into this

summer prairie
#

so if you don't need toughness for gunners, it's fine

patent mango
#

yknow

#

psyker rework isnt actually done yet

#

what if it gets buffed in the next update

swift stag
#

Then it would be broken

swift stag
#

Im fine with it

tulip kettle
#

is it possible to survive an H40 overhead without JAD? i dont think it is

wet belfry
#

I hope for more talents that synergize with non crit playstyles for melee weapons.

summer prairie
#

Survive as in not go down or not get deleted

tulip kettle
#

yeah i just realised you meant not get deleted

#

not "not go down"

verbal thistle
#

no close order drill, and not full toughness

#

but bad talent pathing

patent mango
verbal thistle
#

small grey nodes + stealth

patent mango
#

the entire right side is crit stuff in some way

patent mango
#

the only real way would be to make soulblaze melee functional

#

since people do quite want that

swift stag
#

Inb4 they give psyker vets stealth

patent mango
#

oh god please no we shouldnt have 2 of those eto begin with

swift stag
#

Shadow caster staregryn

patent mango
#

😨

crisp ether
#

dear god

verbal thistle
#

forgot those

weary idol
verbal thistle
#

testing build

weary idol
#

Oh intentionally bad talent pathing

verbal thistle
#

max DR

weary idol
verbal thistle
#

forgot

#

yeah

stark crown
#

Toughness stacking will never not be funny but not the best idea on Vet

pure plinth
#

voidstrike really is that bad huh

long saddle
#

it's not worse than some guns

#

but it's p limited with what you can do

burnt gazelle
#

I think that for psyker to be healthy all the staves need to be somewhere below voidstrike's current power level

summer prairie
#

then only melee psyker is good, which is fine i guess

burnt gazelle
#

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

ripe obsidian
#

Voidstrike is, uh, pretty bad.

long saddle
#

psyker has suffered for long enough, don't beg for nerfs already

summer prairie
#

change SB ADMs so it has more targets that it does nothing against

#

is a start

burnt gazelle
#

make rending stop working on soulblaze

#

won't be sufficient but seems necessary

summer prairie
#

well obviously

ripe obsidian
#

That's like 90% an uncanny strikes issue

summer prairie
#

change scab rager default armor type to cara

long saddle
#

what does that have to do with psyker tho

#

unless you want even more SB immune stuff

summer prairie
#

I do

burnt gazelle
#

psyker invalidates like the whole base game

young cliff
swift stag
#

Idk ogryn became pretty cool 😎

long saddle
#

the build diversity wasn't great, you had to do some annoying stuff often

young cliff
#

Ogryn is the coolest guy

tulip kettle
#

hot take

#

psyker is fine and everyone needs to stop crying about it

young cliff
dull nest
#

can you use kinetic flayer to complete power up and prioritise targets penances?

swift stag
weary crane
#

There are too many psykers for havoc lobbies

#

Need to be given to the golden throne

tulip kettle
#

this is also not true

#

the issue is that multiple psykers running inferno doesnt work

young cliff
#

There's not so many Sparkhead players

tulip kettle
#

you can run 2 of any class with no issues

#

2 DS plasma shout vets? awesome

#

2 psykers with inferno? bad.

swift stag
#

I feel like I see more zealots than psykers

ornate hamlet
ripe obsidian
#

I see mostly vets, arbiters, and psykers. Some zealots, some ogryns.

swift stag
#

Finding a duo of ogryns is a treat tho

modest perch
#

i wanna try smyker with 3 krak vets

#

i feel like it would work

swift stag
#

3 psykers and a pick orgy is my fav tho

modest perch
#

pick orgy staregryn

swift stag
modest perch
#

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

#

feels bad man

tulip kettle
#

rot armour + stims i think 2 vets minimum is the way to go to make it easier

#

krak spam is no joke

modest perch
#

yea except when demo team just stops working

ripe obsidian
#

was super smooth

tulip kettle
#

yeah the OG comp also feels great

ripe obsidian
#

Was on Magistrati, so I took bubble

tulip kettle
#

but, dog arbs can be very good vs stims

modest perch
#

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

tulip kettle
#

pinning blue ragers to the floor really solves problems

modest perch
#

kinda wanna try a 4 arfbitrator stack

tulip kettle
#

i do think though that in rot specifically vet is really, really good

acoustic jacinth
#

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

verbal thistle
#

yes

#

more gaze buff please

acoustic jacinth
#

I had too much bias towards shriek ngl

#

Kinda blinded by it

verbal thistle
#

shriek doesnt do much outside comboed with EK staff

ripe obsidian
verbal thistle
#

and max soulblaze stack for purg I guess

ripe obsidian
#

Shriek the world

verbal thistle
#

but gaze gives too many buffs to be comparable to the other abiltiies

#

gaze is like a keystone

acoustic jacinth
#

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

tulip kettle
#

no you arent

acoustic jacinth
#

On crit

#

Yes

#

Warp siphon

#

Is there too

#

I would take a video but i am in bed

nocturne dust
#

Very good for the scoreboard tho KEKW_ogryn

verbal thistle
#

yes

hazy birch
#

That was a mess

royal totem
#

that vet

#

lmao

hazy birch
#

?

royal totem
#

he just kept dying

#

over and over

hazy birch
#

Yea it shouldn't have been that difficult

royal totem
#

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

long saddle
#

I wonder if I should try a warp rupture shriek build that has no SB

#

maybe rending trauma

tulip kettle
#

shriek without creeping flames is so very, very bad

royal totem
#

why no SB though

hazy birch
#

I was constantly overwhelmed

long saddle
#

just to see if it'd do something interesting and not just a straight downgrade

hazy birch
#

My damage is good but I can't solo the entire screen lol

royal totem
#

VB isn't a good wep. and on top of that your VB isn't maxed either

#

errr

#

VS not vb

#

if you just want a weapon to like have range and hit ranged things pretty sure EK LMB would be better.

hazy birch
#

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.

royal totem
#

i mean.....i'm an infiltrate zealot. i'm not gonna top damage

hazy birch
#

took a while but the arb did eventually surpass me while i was dead lol

royal totem
#

but you didn't have to worry about bosses so i did my job

hazy birch
#

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

royal totem
#

i also stealthed a few objectives and such

hazy birch
#

most my build revolves around melee and assail

royal totem
#

so ya know

hazy birch
#

yea i aint sweatin it

marble crater
hazy birch
#

ijs i like to focus on the horde clear while trying to maximize whatever i can for bigger stuff. which is tough

royal totem
#

i mean, FGS does respectable damage against hordes and bosses

#

or well really single target

hazy birch
#

i mean its boss damage is okayish ig

long saddle
#

psyker is usually not a boss killer unless FGS or gunker

hazy birch
#

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

long saddle
#

that's not what psyker does

hazy birch
#

def aint what mine does lol

#

but im pumping into the horde like a madman

#

which im good with

long saddle
#

no I mean no psykers are really oneshot stuff

royal totem
#

FGS won't one shot bosses

lone burrow
#

i pump gallons into the horde

royal totem
#

infiltrate zealot is really the only 1 shot bosses thing

long saddle
#

like FGS is the closest you get to oneshotting stuff, and that still needs a lot of DD stacks

lone burrow
#

gallons of ozone from my EK

hazy birch
#

idk what my actual damage is vs bosses but i know its not spectacular

long saddle
#

stuff as in ogryns

#

psyker isn't expected to be a boss killer

royal totem
#

you should really try a gun instead of voidstrike but if you're having fun with it shrugs

hazy birch
#

to the point i dont even usually hit them unless theres nothing else to hit

long saddle
#

it handles hordes around the bosses

hazy birch
#

i usually just focus on helping keep trash away from the team so they can deal with the boss

long saddle
#

yeah that's perf fine

hazy birch
#

yea aint lyin. i been considering bringing a gun

royal totem
#

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

hazy birch
#

it just feels dirty. i mean i have gun classes.

royal totem
hazy birch
#

im just testing void strike. normally i run ek or flame

#

BUT i dont like EKs damage

#

its mediocre at best

long saddle
#

it's all relative

#

it's not a boss killer

hazy birch
#

compared to what a bolt gun can do

#

its pretty shit lol

long saddle
#

yeah because psyker doesn't have a need for such

royal totem
#

there's nothing that really compares to a bolt gun on psyker i don't think

hazy birch
#

i mean we got bolt pistol

#

the only gun id even consider using

royal totem
#

bolt pistol just......isn't bolt gun

hazy birch
#

but i use that on other classes. i want this one to feel unique

hazy birch
royal totem
#

could try laspistol or recon lasgun...

hazy birch
#

i dont do lasguns

royal totem
#

why? lol

hazy birch
#

talk about limp noodles

long saddle
#

you're having a lot of preconceived notion for no real reason

hazy birch
#

ive used em

vital kayak
#

combat shotgun is good imo

hazy birch
#

they felt weak af

long saddle
#

because recon lasgun gunker shreds bosses

#

with DD stacks

royal totem
#

^^

solid pond
#

las pistol with DD and scriers fucks too

hazy birch
long saddle
#

like fine if you wanna roleplay a wizard with all warp weapons or whatever

hazy birch
#

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

hazy birch
#

also have an ogryn but thats its own thing

#

i just want this to feel different

long saddle
#

it's not really a rambo thing, gunker is a crit synergy machine

hazy birch
#

i imagine this is a specific meta build people run

long saddle
#

I mean it's just right side of the tree

solid pond
#

no

long saddle
#

you can go very wide with gunkers

ripe obsidian
solid pond
#

only scriers I ever see is people being cringe with smite

hazy birch
#

but then im not doin much with my blitz

solid pond
#

nobody got balls enough to run melee or gunker

#

even though both are giga fucked

long saddle
#

idk where you are playing but I see plenty

hazy birch
#

my build is pretty heavy melee

ripe obsidian
long saddle
#

and both are good

hazy birch
#

i usually dump assail then dive into the horde and start swingin

solid pond
#

people suck

long saddle
#

uh ok

#

I'd take a gunker over a smyker so

hazy birch
solid pond
#

so would I

#

but id take a purga over both

hazy birch
#

oh the 60% cd

ripe obsidian
hazy birch
#

no not on this build. but whats that got to do with DD stack uptime?

solid pond
#

its just very consistent CDR

#

why would you not want it?

ripe obsidian
#

DD? Nothing. But combat abilities, everything

hazy birch
#

should only be affecting my combat ability

#

which i really dont need more CD on

ripe obsidian
#

That's... quite a take

#

Which ability this this?

#

SG?

hazy birch
#

vent

long saddle
#

there's been a lot of takes in this convo

ripe obsidian
#

Lordy.

hazy birch
#

its almost always off cd

solid pond
long saddle
#

that explains why your perfect timing stacks are low if you're not even running SG

solid pond
hazy birch
#

what would that have to do with those stacks?

#

those are based off me last hitting marked targets

rancid wadi
#

Hey mr psyker gimme a build

ripe obsidian
#

Psykinetic’s Aura takes Shriek, without Siphon, from a 30 second cooldown to like a 19 second cooldown

ripe obsidian
long saddle
#

perfect timing is +dmg on crits

rancid wadi
ripe obsidian
#

I have 50+ builds in the pins!

#

You are welcome

hazy birch
solid pond
#

what even in the fuck

hazy birch
rancid wadi
solid pond
#

you're just losing out on so much for no reason

long saddle
#

yeah crits are lacking, ability spam is lacking

solid pond
#

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?

rancid wadi
#

Now what do I even wanna play as psyker

#

Need a bubker, gunker, flamker

#

Uhhh

long saddle
#

bubble knight is fun

rancid wadi
#

Assailker

solid pond
#

bubker and flamker are one in the same

long saddle
#

doesn't have to be

solid pond
#

just flavourtext the shriek in place if running shriek

rancid wadi
pallid stump
#

does anyone know if warp battery makes the "powered up" penance harder?

long saddle
#

bubble purg is super boring

#

yes

#

but not really

hazy birch
long saddle
#

6 stacks isn't hard to reach really

pallid stump
#

true

long saddle
#

compared to 4

hazy birch
#

at least vent gives me some cc to work with

rancid wadi
#

Did the uhhh guy who made the doom guy psyker build update it?

#

Loved running it

royal totem
#

there is no gun in psyker's arsenal that will be able to really delete a horde of crushers. no staff either btw

pallid stump
solid pond
#

how is a steroid annoying to use?

#

press button, hit enemy

royal totem
#

i guess rending trauma would probably be the closest to it

pallid stump
#

or is the psychic vampire talent better?

ripe obsidian
rancid wadi
long saddle
#

if you have enough SB then IFR is better

royal totem
ripe obsidian
#

Also, if it's just an "Oh Shit" button, SG also immediately vents 50% peril...

hazy birch
#

probably not

solid pond
#

he's just using shriek as a vent dump

ripe obsidian
#

I see.

pallid stump
#

im just a shitter my opinion doesnt actually matter on whats good or not

long saddle
#

you realistically have very little downtime with SG anyway

solid pond
#

he'd have the entire downtime for it because he isn't running Psyk aura

#

😭

hazy birch
#

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

long saddle
#

ye lol

ripe obsidian
pallid stump
#

oh yeah fore sure

#

btw six, wanted to hear from you

long saddle
#

peril skyrocketing is a good thing tho

#

warp ghost is great for a reason

solid pond
#

high peril, more damage/crit and TDR

long saddle
#

there's so much high peril synergy

solid pond
rancid wadi
#

To be a fish or a seagull

long saddle
#

like practice being at around 80% peril at all times

ripe obsidian
solid pond
hazy birch
pallid stump
solid pond
hazy birch
#

but running at 100 for several seconds is nerve racking

long saddle
#

IFR yes

hazy birch
#

and if i fuck up and go too far i just die. and feel stupid.

#

rather not

ripe obsidian
#

Psychic Vampire feels bad imo

solid pond
rancid wadi
long saddle
#

if you have warp unbound on SG there's a mod that shows a timer

hazy birch
pallid stump
long saddle
#

but yes 10 seconds critical peril save is so nice

rancid wadi
solid pond
#

even no mod, its a priority buff on the bottom, with a red icon that you can see dropping off

ripe obsidian
#

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

hazy birch
#

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.

rancid wadi
pallid stump
rancid wadi
#

I like pop off

#

Makes me feel like sienna

pallid stump
rancid wadi
ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, it's quite good.

solid pond
pallid stump
#

fair enough

ripe obsidian
#

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

pallid stump
#

i came around on warp ghost and WG + ER

#

ER itself...no

pallid stump
royal totem
#

sigh........ i might start learning how to use FGS

pallid stump
#

idk

royal totem
#

feels like treason

solid pond
#

yeah I use WG/ER on my bubble/purga build

hazy birch
solid pond
#

many flaming for many time

solid pond
pallid stump
hazy birch
#

almost zero passive quelling

solid pond
#

only because you're not running CDR

#

goober

rancid wadi
#

Which class got the eisenhorn getup?

#

Was it vet?

solid pond
#

you can also just

#

quell

#

manually?

pallid stump
#

this

hazy birch
#

yea

solid pond
#

which lets you control the peril you're at?

#

wild

pallid stump
#

and makes you not...explode?

ripe obsidian
hazy birch
#

i guess if u are okay with that. not my playstyle

pallid stump
#

isnt quelling like the biggest thing on psyker?

ripe obsidian
solid pond
solid pond
long saddle
#

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

hazy birch
#

if im quelling, im not doing damage

solid pond
#

also right above ER is 30% quell speed lol

pallid stump
#

like...the one thing that makes psyker be psyker

hazy birch
#

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.

pallid stump
long saddle
#

I feel like you don't really know when you're doing damage or not

pallid stump
#

i cant type

long saddle
#

when you're running suboptimal meleekers and stuff

hazy birch
#

its just additive with my other stuff thats quelling for me

junior linden
hazy birch
#

like quelling on kill and whatnot
