psyker-class

[sturdy dagger]

then why are u trying 2 discredit the build u dont know how 2 use or even have properly built?

[glacial garnet]

Beat trash

[limpid lily]

no doubt, but if I was actually better....I'd be saving like 20-30s at best

[glacial garnet]

Bars stolen

[limpid lily]

and that's STILL no staggering

just saying

[tulip kettle]

i think you also dont understand that this scales regardless of enemy count - its equally effective vs 30 crushers as 1

and again, you stagger all you want with the force push

and again, you are literally just a walking arbiter shock mine

gj homie

[limpid lily]

becasue he was discrediting what my build was designed for, disregarding its capabilities over his...I dont have any issues any anything lol, he jsut hates smite, no quarter

[sturdy dagger]

OH MY GOD IT FINALLY LOADED THIS IS AWFUL BRO

[tulip kettle]

yes, smite is dogshit

[sturdy dagger]

ACTUAL SABOTAGE

[tulip kettle]

you are just an arbiter blitz

well done

tfw you offer less value than a grenade pick up

tfw your team is dead and now you do precisely nothing

[zealous wing]

at least a shock mine can be left behind without slowing the team down

im in the psyk testing an attempt at update smite build from the vid that was posted a little bit ago here, and, even trying to play aggressively, its not... good

[tulip kettle]

literally just play arb, throw shock mines and actually hit stuff

[sturdy dagger]

bro i dont even have an issue with smite but this clip is sending me u literally got given a perfect example of how to do it, did it urself, fucked up every part of it and went "see?? this sucks!"

[zealous wing]

was hoping maybe on ragers it'd do something to make a duel easier but, no it just slows you down swapping

[glacial garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/edgerunners-cyberpsychosis-sandevistan-cyberpunk-gif-27165868

[zealous wing]

if anything assail is so much better because yknow, damage

and it interrupts

[glacial garnet]

Me splitting my psyche between 8 channels

[hybrid wigeon]

How do people spawn bosses n shit in the Meat Grinder

[zealous wing]

creature spawner mod

[glacial garnet]

Mod

[limpid lily]

didn't say it suck, I legit jsut said it's not TERRIBLE dmg...and I also said afterwards that if I was a better spyker, I'd probably be saving 20-30s lol. But I still dont see why we're comparing 2 fundamentally different setups lol, for 2 different purposes

[zealous wing]

to get havoc stuff, need true solo as well

[hybrid wigeon]

Sadly I am a console peasant

[tulip kettle]

because one set up does something impactful and one makes you a walking arbiter shock mine

[zealous wing]

ye

[tulip kettle]

and, also

[limpid lily]

also, the build I was using in this video was made for VOIDBLAST, no inferno lol, I just put on whatever inferno staff I got already and called it that

[tulip kettle]

i posted a clip of clearing a literal room full of rot healing enemies in seconds

[hybrid wigeon]

Me doing a few seconds of set up to kill tough enemies but then the Arbites just fucking blasts all of them away with their shot gun

[tulip kettle]

with your build you would be there 2 minutes later, still smiting, still begging your team to hit them and carry you

[sturdy dagger]

then why even send the clip to begin with? what point where u triyng 2 prove?

[limpid lily]

yeah but is it fast and can it save your teammates being cornered by 20 crushers tho?

[rancid jasper]

Smite isn't for damage anyway.

[zealous wing]

also i still dont even know why someone is saying inferno bad carapace killer when a) dom does h40's on the regular, b) dom has been playing a very long time, c) has posted clips of it killing carapace, and most importantly, d) the inferno psyker IDEALLY shouldnt be the one killing all the carapace anyway and yet is still good enough at it that the last one alive on an h40 being the inferno has a fucking chance, we need some agent chaos clips fr

[hybrid wigeon]

Smite is a cry for help integrated into the game by Fat Shark

[zealous wing]

agent was dealing with so much rotten armour waves BS when we were trying to get through his 40 the other week

[rancid jasper]

It's a cc/stunning tool

[limpid lily]

cuz you said a "proper evident" and that was as proper as I cared I guess...plus, it was more about the dmg, not my performance....I was more trying to see how much DoT I could've got out of it, less so about kiting or whatever

[tulip kettle]

yeah, its shock mines, but stops you doing anything else

its just worse arbiter blitz, as your entire character

[jovial juniper]

It's not shock mines

[zealous wing]

if you cared about dmg not kiting then why spawn so many

[jovial juniper]

Because shock mines are worse smite

[rancid jasper]

That's why you don't use it continuously, you use it as you approach an enemy or group to stagger them before attacking.

[jovial juniper]

Comparing shock mine to smite is a crime

[hybrid wigeon]

Every character is just a worse arb

[jovial juniper]

[limpid lily]

I mean I guess? Idk, just felt like standard.

[tulip kettle]

nono, watch sprinkahs clip

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/you-cannot-ragebait-me-heart-twitter-reaction-gif-cat-gif-16396486465647525728

[tulip kettle]

youre supposed to hold smite for minutes at a time contributing nothing

[rancid jasper]

Oh, sry I didn't realise how long have you been being sarcastic

[sturdy dagger]

if it was more about ur dmg then why did u not bother 2 put on the right build

[zealous wing]

cant forget turning off your teams talents and blessings for their weapons

[sturdy dagger]

im starting 2 think this is ragebait

[zealous wing]

no dodging no finesse

[limpid lily]

cuz i dont even know waht build he's using

[zealous wing]

he posted it

[rancid jasper]

That's why it's not meant to be used continuously to be useful

[limpid lily]

where?

[hybrid wigeon]

Arbites on their way to blast everything away with their Shotgun and Revolver/Shield while their dg eats all the non-ogryn enemies

[zealous wing]

here

[jovial juniper]

Literally the 4 base classes 1 shotting crushers and everything below them

[limpid lily]

ah that one, guess I didn't pay attention, but from the look of it...it's more or less 2-3 nodes diferent from mine

[jovial juniper]

On zealots case

1 shotting everything

[zealous wing]

which nodes? because some nodes are life or death

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/you-cannot-ragebait-me-heart-twitter-reaction-gif-cat-gif-16396486465647525728

[zealous wing]

if you take PotS fuckin remove it

[tulip kettle]

and you have pen flames on your inferno, and likely no carapace on your deimos, and failed to max soulblaze stacks, and failed to max and maintain uncanny

[dusk timber]

2-3 nodes can make a massive difference

[tulip kettle]

i will say

pen flames is actually pretty good into rot + heals

for making you do less damage

[hybrid wigeon]

Builds that rely on Specialist/Elite kills when an Arbitrator joins the lobby

[tulip kettle]

but your team do more damage

[glacial garnet]

Arbys job is to give hanburgers

[zealous wing]

nah, when I join the lobby as a DD knife meleeker

[glacial garnet]

No wait

Wrong arby

[sturdy dagger]

arby being so strong and being 3 per lobby legit made me quit for a bit, was just to easy and kinda boring

[tulip kettle]

arbys beef sandwiches

with arbys special sauce

very good actually

very bald

[hybrid wigeon]

Nah

[rancid jasper]

Builds that rely on (insert literally anything here) when an arbitrator joins the lobby:

[hybrid wigeon]

Fuck Arby's

[jovial juniper]

True

[sturdy dagger]

aw fuck zealot got a mini rework aswell didnt he? i hate having to remake all my builds when i comeback to this game man

[tulip kettle]

lol no 20% dmg to ogryns

amazing

perfect troll 10/10

[jovial juniper]

Basically all human sized trees got reset

[dusk timber]

It was a full on rework

[sturdy dagger]

im telling u man i think its ragebait atp

[jovial juniper]

Which is weird

[zealous wing]

HOW DID I FUCKING CALL IT

[jovial juniper]

Because nothing changed on arbys

[hybrid wigeon]

All skill trees got revamped

[zealous wing]

PotS is RIGHT THERE

[dusk timber]

Except ogryn and arb

[sturdy dagger]

[rancid jasper]

Because the goal was to buff other classes and their player expression / variety, not reduce Oggy and Arbie.

[sturdy dagger]

what awesome is how the emote slots on ally my loadouts have the red error mark now

[jovial juniper]

No not like that

[hybrid wigeon]

No Ogryns got revamped before Psyker Zealot and Veterans

[jovial juniper]

Nothing changed places on arbys

So why reset

[sturdy dagger]

im so lazy dawg someone redo my loadouts for me

[jovial juniper]

I know why
Because Fatshark

[limpid lily]

yeah cuz I was using voidblast, wasnt soulblaze stacking, and these past few days on Rotten Armors

[jovial juniper]

That's it

[dusk timber]

I was talking about the last update

[sturdy dagger]

THE VOICES

[hybrid wigeon]

I have a fat shark

[zealous wing]

2 or 3 nodes different
has PotS, no VM, has anticipation, no EE

[jovial juniper]

Only 4 loadouts

[dusk timber]

Ogryn didnt get a revamp in that update because he already got his own a while ago

[jovial juniper]

That's nothing

[sturdy dagger]

I dont really play zealot to be fair

[jovial juniper]

Another player had to redo like 12

Because of more loadouts mod

[hybrid wigeon]

My fat shark :3

[jovial juniper]

[sturdy dagger]

i had like...7? on psyker but with the emote bug i had to just delete all of them i couldnt get the error to clear

[dusk timber]

Blahaj

Pog

[glacial garnet]

Aquariums be like "fatting my shark rn"

[sturdy dagger]

the pattern continues...

[zealous wing]

also 2 or 3 nodes different, when the posted build is a template

[limpid lily]

the fuck is EE, like I said this was a voidblast setup (and even then I played this build like 2 times). I dont play psyker that much

[tulip kettle]

ofc you have a blahaj

[hybrid wigeon]

I got them yesterday night

[glacial garnet]

Sex

[brazen warren]

can soulblaze ticks crit?

[hybrid wigeon]

*lex

[limpid lily]

yeah not sure if you super need that for void blast lol

[tulip kettle]

no

[brazen warren]

or only the direct flame cone damage

neat

[tulip kettle]

the application can crit, which applies 2 stacks

[solid pond]

the cone critting applies 2

that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1373116730322456648/1377055386317754543/attachment.gif

[tulip kettle]

which is why we critmaxx on inferno

[hybrid wigeon]

Oh I'm conning it...

[tulip kettle]

to reach max stacks faster

[glacial garnet]

No, i love ee

[tulip kettle]

to start uncanny stacking faster

[sturdy dagger]

u gotta get locked up for a bit

jail

[glacial garnet]

I would freak it

[tulip kettle]

and also to proc EE more often to keep us safe from gunners

[solid pond]

to kill the planet faster

shrimple inferno gameplay loop

[hybrid wigeon]

I'M GONNA CONE‼️‼️‼️‼️

[rancid jasper]

EE would definitely not want you doing that though, it's very avoidant

[sturdy dagger]

ogryn doesnt feel like he has variety to me so

[glacial garnet]

Ee crit the bed and now doesnt want me ):

[rancid jasper]

Just wait a second

[jovial juniper]

I have only 1 which is Gunlugger 💀

[tulip kettle]

and is this gunlugger... rumbler spam?

[limpid lily]

I mean, at this point your opinion is set, but surely you're considering the fact that Smite has pretty damn good range, Empowere Psionics SMite able to fry through trash + non-ogryn elites pretty damn fast + permanently active with scrier w/ no cooldown...compared to Arbites mine?

Granted, Arbites mine IS great.

[jovial juniper]

Because this is me

[sturdy dagger]

no idea if mines even up2date/meta

[jovial juniper]

https://youtu.be/U_f0UKwCNwg?si=K4NUNZJ_f6wJQRQq

[tulip kettle]

you do nothing. you offer nothing that any other class cant already do, while also turning off your own gameplay and everyone elses

in the clips you posted, you show you offering literally nothing

[zealous wing]

and limiting your teams own damage

[tulip kettle]

and you actively gimp your teams total damage output

[glacial garnet]

smite should just get fucking deleted

[tulip kettle]

so yes, i think its bad.

[glacial garnet]

Total smite death

[jovial juniper]

Remember this grugging thing at sanguinala

🗣️

Ripper Mk2 noises

[tulip kettle]

and to top it off

[glacial garnet]

Kill smite behead smite put smite in an acid container explode smite into a million pieces kill smite infants

[zealous wing]

the game was so much better when there wasnt a permasmyker in every other goddamn lobby

[tulip kettle]

you are playing the class with by far the coolest gameplay loops and damage output potential

and instead choosing to afk and hope your team carries you

[rancid jasper]

The only problem with smite is people using it wrong

[zealous wing]

and it will always be used wrong

people who want to be lazy will always be lazy

they want the easy tags

not the earned ones

[rancid jasper]

Could just limit its uptime somehow

[zealous wing]

its at the point where storm surviver and true survivor mean absolutely nothing

[glacial garnet]

How tf do you even use it right

[jovial juniper]

You hold it

[zealous wing]

and then you let go

if you smite for 12s straight thats already too long

[rancid jasper]

Use it in short bursts/taps to stagger threats or groups as you approach, or to shut down a threatening enemy in that moment. The push at the end is the main asset, not the lightning itself.

[jovial juniper]

Yeah you should be holding for a minute

[glacial garnet]

Zzzzzz

[jovial juniper]

12 seconds is too short

[zealous wing]

if 12s is too short then get better at the game

[rancid jasper]

It's a really fun playstyle actually

[jovial juniper]

You're not playing it right if you don't hold it for a minute straight

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[rancid jasper]

Hah! Only a minute?

Pathetic

[jovial juniper]

On a bad day yes

[glacial garnet]

Sex joke noticed

[rancid jasper]

Everyone knows you need to hold it all game

[rancid jasper]

It wasn't even get out of the gutter

[glacial garnet]

Hwehwehwehwehwe

[zealous wing]

hold it all game, and you HAVE to die to a poxxer backstab right after the game spawns the enemies youre supposed to help fight so your team has more to do while youre dead

[jovial juniper]

getting hit
Playing smite wrong smh

https://tenor.com/view/mus8029-dj-khaled-gif-3555378993500057042

[zealous wing]

played smite
playing smite wrong smh

the only real smite is BB

[tulip kettle]

AHHHH A CHAOS SPAWN

[jovial juniper]

Technically yeah

[glacial garnet]

Playing
Playing smite wrong smh

[tulip kettle]

better keep smiting

[jovial juniper]

💀

Smiting bosses is playing smite wrong

Smh

[deft stump]

I can pick up my team with a shock mine into a crusher horde. Can you do that solo with smite?

[jovial juniper]

Ah yes

Specific scenario

Smh

[zealous wing]

actually was very common in h40

[jovial juniper]

Which just means you have a bad team

A good team wouldn't go down on h40

[tulip kettle]

smite is just "what if we played with 3 people but unlimited shock mines"

[glacial garnet]

Me when an entire build is slightly better than one shock mine

[jovial juniper]

*better shock mines

[zealous wing]

directionally specific shock mines

with an hp bar

a very small one

[jovial juniper]

Shock mines have worse range, worse availability, worse damage
Comparing it to smite is just wrong

Sorry to tell you that

[dusk timber]

Nobody is immune to mistakes

[jovial juniper]

Actually not sorry because Arby's is mid

[cosmic cobalt]

shock mine let you play the game

W

[tulip kettle]

no, it isnt, they are functionally the same thing

[deft stump]

2 talents nodes vs an entire build.

[tulip kettle]

but shock mines dont stop one player from doing anything else

[glacial garnet]

Thats bait

[jovial juniper]

See another shock mine l lol

[glacial garnet]

100%

[jovial juniper]

Nah it's not bait
I'm not the public target for Arbites so I can call them mid

[limpid lily]

I feel like your whole perception of it revolves around you thinking it's a braindead and boring way to play the game. Which even I agree, it is an extremely numbing experiences lol. But I played like 6 games so far with it, 2 on 250ping and I havent seen anyone complain about me perma-stunning clowncars of Rotten Crushers yet, hell got 1-2 praises if anything.

Plus, empowered psionics is the only thing that actually makes Smite do something meaningful. You can AT LEAST agree with that it fries trash hordes + non-ogryn elites pretty decently.

[jovial juniper]

[tulip kettle]

it fries trash, with EP

which is a nothing burger

[jovial juniper]

If I was the public target for Arbites then I'd call it goated

[limpid lily]

I got those vids on youtube, but I doubt you'd want to see them

[jovial juniper]

But I'm not

[tulip kettle]

it does nothing to elites

[jovial juniper]

So mid it is

[tulip kettle]

your own clips show that

[jovial juniper]

Maybe the next class is for me

Or maybe not

[zealous wing]

frying trash really isnt an achievement

[jovial juniper]

Let's aee

[limpid lily]

those are rotten armor crushers and stuff so no crud, but it does well against shotgunners and stuff

[tulip kettle]

no it doesnt

[rancid jasper]

I disagree with the last statement, EP doesn't really help smite because it's a stun utility not a damage tool. Even with the increased damage it sucks for damage dealing

[tulip kettle]

its actively slower than literally anything else

[glacial garnet]

Fgs my beloved

[wraith sphinx]

guys did you know the horus heresy actually happened because of disagreements over smite

[jovial juniper]

It's funny

Because Arby's mine can't even kill poxxers

Lmao

And it stays up for 12 seconds btw

[tulip kettle]

so like, dude, nobody cares. and nobody is complaining to you about smite because of 2 things

[jovial juniper]

And if you're looking for stagger on Arby's
Just use your melee
All 7 of yours melee stagger stuff

[tulip kettle]

either, they are bad and want the safety of you smiting everything, without realising that you could actually just be killing everything instead

or, thyey are like the majority of the player base, and just wont play with you

[cosmic sigil]

thruth be told, it started when they nerfed psword

[tulip kettle]

you wont ever hear me complaining about you smiting in my H40 lobbies

because you wont be in them

[limpid lily]

for what the thing is intended to do, it's pretty good. I dont think we should be expecting it to be as fast as infernon but cmon...that's not that slow.

[tulip kettle]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

aw thats great man, thanks

[limpid lily]

ok

[jovial juniper]

Yeah I think we should just cut our time losses and go our ways
Ain't no one changing mindsets here

[zealous wing]

one sweep

[glacial garnet]

Bruh you could not have used a worse example

[tulip kettle]

(now try it with EP assail)

[zealous wing]

without active buffs like high peril

[tulip kettle]

or a single FGS slice

or literally anything else in the game

hey look guys, my maximum buffed smite takes 10 seconds to kill shotgunners!

[limpid lily]

requires buildup for once yes, EP assail is like what...3 throws?

[zealous wing]

you dont take ep assail

[jovial juniper]

And stops existing at carapace

[tulip kettle]

amazing

[limpid lily]

it's really all relative

simple really

I'm NOT using smite to kill shotgunners

but if it randomly kills them I'm not complaining

[jovial juniper]

You're right, you're using it to kill everything that isn't a boss

[tulip kettle]

the best bit is

its not really even smite killing them, its the soulblaze from PC procs cascading

just, amazing example, 10/10. no notes

[limpid lily]

well yeah?

why does it need to be in a bubble?

[tulip kettle]

you are trying to show smite is good actually

[limpid lily]

it's the same as you wanting to group inferno + uncanny together liek they come together?

[tulip kettle]

while showing it being bad

idk what to tell you dude

im done with this. go play your smyker 🙂

[limpid lily]

then idk man, then maybe dont use uncanny for the inferno argument too xD

kinda double-standards ngl

[zealous wing]

uncanny goes on your sword regardless of if you use it with sb or not

[deft stump]

You are just either trolling or memeing without uncanny on most weapons with it.

[glacial garnet]

He showed clearing a wave with only one sweep of flame staff, you showed killing 7 of the weakest enemies in 10 seconds

[zealous wing]

i got this hang on

[limpid lily]

at no point I said smite is better at killing than inferno, ive literally never said that xD

it's again, all relative

[glacial garnet]

I know

Im raging

[wraith sphinx]

uh oh

siblings! rager!!! kill it!!!!

[glacial garnet]

Rahhhhjh i can scream too!

[deft stump]

Will 3 frags help?

[wraith sphinx]

I need like 4 kraks 🙁

[glacial garnet]

Using auto smite node on flame staff i want to hurt you

[limpid lily]

how many ragers was that? I wanna test out too, obviously it aint gonna be as fast no shit, but how many seconds

[glacial garnet]

Sir those are shotgunners

[deft stump]

I like my frags.

[limpid lily]

again, no one is comparing smite vs inferno in killing power

[limpid lily]

yes I can see that xD

why do you think i didnt see that lmao

[jovial juniper]

Yes beloved, I'll stay away from him

[zealous wing]

idk like 20 shotgunners? i just spam them

[tulip kettle]

i filmed this just for you ❤️

[limpid lily]

I'll go 30

[zealous wing]

assail too satisfying

[wraith sphinx]

Too satisfying you say?

Nerf incoming

[jovial juniper]

Nerf....
On psyker?
Good joke

[glacial garnet]

Thats a lotta buffs there

[limpid lily]

this is 50, 6-7s lol

again, i'm not comparing these in terms of dps lmao

[obtuse dome]

NOOOOO SMITE CANT KILL ITS NOT ALLOWED

[zealous wing]

no better CC than dead

thats what we're trying to say here

[jovial juniper]

Damn, it is as if smite is able to jump to an infinite amount of targets

[limpid lily]

what KIND of CC are we talking, there are 2 types basically, one is Inferno's and one is Smite's

[jovial juniper]

With a huge range as long as the initial tethers are at 15 meters

[tulip kettle]

its no buffs when i start

[obtuse dome]

Inferno is not cc its juat tona of dmg

[zealous wing]

ones dead ones gonna be everyone elses problem when the psyker gets backstabbed

[tulip kettle]

this one just for funsies

[glacial garnet]

Smite psyker, staff psyker, fuck em both run melee like a chad

[limpid lily]

dont look at me, he said it

[obtuse dome]

Dmg is not cc

Thats just silly

[jovial juniper]

Notice how you don't say nothing about gun focused psyker

https://tenor.com/view/galaxypeabrain-gif-11486576679687144877

Brauto psyker incoming

🗣️

[limpid lily]

again dont look at me, I didnt say it lol

[zealous wing]

brauto 🤮

[obtuse dome]

I know sorry thats kust so stupid

[zealous wing]

youre saying the reason you use smite is because of CC

[jovial juniper]

Fuck, I should've played brauto psyker on the previous event

I played like 3 missions

😭

[zealous wing]

we're saying CC with no damage is fuckin useless

[jovial juniper]

Yeah shock mine

[glacial garnet]

Gun psyker is just melee psyker with like, 2 node difference

[tulip kettle]

cc that actively nerfs your dmg and everyone elses

[royal totem]

Oh god. Not this again.

[jovial juniper]

But gun

[zealous wing]

at least an arby mine can be dropped at a doorway or feet for a res and left behind

[obtuse dome]

But smite HAS dmg

So u have no point

[tulip kettle]

im earning so many aquilas

no, it does not

smite has no damage

against anything worthwhile

[royal totem]

You can earn aquilas from this?

[jovial juniper]

So it has damage

[zealous wing]

in order to have smite even hint at damage you have to make smite the only thing you can do

[obtuse dome]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[tulip kettle]

SuT gets aquilas when wildfire mentioned

i get aquilas for smite

[jovial juniper]

"If I had an aquila for every....." Type deal

[royal totem]

Fair fair

[limpid lily]

i mean, cmon now...inferno does more dmg sure with uncanny and all that, but it still takes like 20sish second to kill 1 Rotten Crusher while they're still advancing on your mates.

[zealous wing]

then FGS

[tulip kettle]

my guy if its 1 rotten crusher, just fucking stab it

[obtuse dome]

Inferno does more dmg than anything it still has no cc

[zealous wing]

fuckin BONK the crusher

[glacial garnet]

Literally the only thing that changes between gun and melee is with melee you take block gives peril and with gun you take gun kills lower peril and every 5 weakspot hits you get crit

[zealous wing]

hell, bonk the crushers PLURAL

[limpid lily]

it's never just 1 rotten crusher wym

lol

[tulip kettle]

if its 20, nothing is killing them in the way soulblaze + uncanny stacking is

PRECISELY DIPSHIT

im so fuckin done with you

[deft stump]

I already said that. 1 mine, pick up entire team.

[obtuse dome]

That wont kill crushers

[tulip kettle]

i posted a clip of me deleting entire rooms of rot + healing armour

it will dumbass

i posted clips

i posted scorebaords of 5 mil dmg

plz stop

how bout you also jsut stunlock them and then your 3 other teammates stab them with Pickaxe and shit, idk man. Now if you have a problem with that then fine, but it's not a super unfathomable thing to see.

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/fortnite-troll-trollface-voxxid-pop-lock-gif-22432644

because i could fucking kill them

and not be like "please carry me teeeeeem"

[zealous wing]

why kill slow when you can kill fast

[glacial garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-cat-is-this-bait-cat-is-this-ragebait-gif-10902073105296387701

[limpid lily]

cuz it still takes like 20s or so while they're still shaking off the sb lol

if it's a big ass map then yes, no issue

[tulip kettle]

my man, shut up

you suck

[zealous wing]

i dont think they've played h40

[tulip kettle]

thats all there is to it

you cant actually play game

so you smite everything and hope people carry you

i get it

you posted a clip of you smiting the chaos spawn

[deft stump]

IDK why that shock mine is so noisy.

[tulip kettle]

there is nothing else to be said

[royal totem]

Lul smiting chaos spawn

[zealous wing]

👀

[royal totem]

You know Dom....

[limpid lily]

bro I dont wanna plug, but that aint true. But I'll give you this, I barely play psyker. i dont want to plug but well, here

[tulip kettle]

you do want to plug

thats why you are here

plz gtfo

nobodfy cares about your trash gameplay or smiting

plz stop

[royal totem]

I was playing havoc 18 with a smyker yesterday.

[limpid lily]

I didnt post any video link so far on here lmao

[tulip kettle]

yes, you did

it was one of the first things you posted the other day

please stfu

[limpid lily]

oh yes that one

[tulip kettle]

LMAO

get out homie

[royal totem]

It went "well" till somebody hit a boss trigger and rinda zoomed onto the smyker and annihilated them

[tulip kettle]

😮

shocked

im shocked i say

[limpid lily]

thats when u stop and hit them with deimos

[tulip kettle]

smote

smoted

[deft stump]

No deflector+KD?

[tulip kettle]

LIKE YOU DO IN THAT CLIP LUL

[zealous wing]

smitten by rinda

[limpid lily]

i do feel like ur still making a rather big deal out of 1 video link when ppl posted a lot on other channels, but hey I'll give you that

[tulip kettle]

i block you now and enjoy some peace

[limpid lily]

thanks

[tulip kettle]

keep shilling smyker

[limpid lily]

i mean tbh I had enough of smite for these past 2 days

gonna go back to trauma

[zealous wing]

Which even I agree, it is an extremely numbing experiences lol. But I played like 6 games so far with it

mentions playing it 6 rounds
defends it with his fuckin life

make it make sense

[limpid lily]

never said it was "fun", but it HAS been effective

I can admit something being effective despite them being boring as shit

like Dueling Sword, Plasma gun and Inferno staff lol

[glacial garnet]

This is me rn

[limpid lily]

man shutcho goofy ass up that's like the a good chunk of the general consensus these days xD

[patent steeple]

inferno is not boring. Blaze VB is. Inferno doesn't stagger nearly everything while killing said nearly everything, but blaze VB does.

trust me, I know from experience. (non-havoc experience, but tbh, I think Blaze VB's boringness would carry over to havoc a lot)

and here comes the "non-havoc too ez to matter" argument...

[limpid lily]

the stagger threshold on enemies increase in Havoc 40, you need to charge more to actually knock big bois over.

but the peril management on VB staff generally makes it a lot less monotonous than inferno

not to mention the HP differences

you generally do have to actually mind things more with VB

[patent steeple]

so simply charge more. its not all that difficult to hold down right click for a longer period of time between left clicks.

[limpid lily]

inferno you well...basically just kinda up your mouse dpi, charge then spray like a madman xD, occasionally primary fire to push back certain specials.

it'

[tulip kettle]

man doesnt know how to play inferno

[limpid lily]

holy shit

stop taking everything at face value my dude, there's more to everything no shit

we're simply just talking about the staff themselves

[patent steeple]

question: is inferno usually played in a "sustained shooting towards one spot to (at least somewhat) max out the burn stacks" way? I think this sentence of yours is a bit too vague...

[cosmic sigil]

the only to play it is to not touch it

[limpid lily]

bro meant synergizing with Uncanny on your force sword and shit, stacking rending for soulblaze and...well, according to his build he posted, using venting shriek as well

which MOST ppl dont really bring lol

most of the times ppl bring "THE BUILD" on psyker, bubble, warp siphon and brain burst kinetic flayer

[patent steeple]

yeah, but to do that, you need big burn stacks, and the best way to do that is to not spray everywhere, instead focusing the flame into one conga-line or cluster of enemies and have it max out the stacks (or at least get bigger stacks than by just spraying everywhere).

[limpid lily]

well obviously the spraying everywhere isnt really applicable in context of THAT. But that was generally a bit of an exaggeration on what players use inferno for, spread soulblaze to kill trash

then again, enemies aint going to be in a conga line all the time.

[haughty star]

I hate inferno

Shit feels so boring and slow. Worse than smite gameplay imo

[limpid lily]

careful lol, ur gonna trigger another cataclysm xD

[haughty star]

But I might try scriers inferno now that you can go all wishy washy with the trree without much sacrifice

[glacial garnet]

I dont take issue with the boring part i take issue with you having the fucking NERVE to say SMITE is MORE FUN

[haughty star]

Voidstrike used to be fun not sure if it is anymore. Surge is prolly the only staff I genuinely enjoy if vs is hurting as bad as people say

[limpid lily]

yes hope they buff surge staff at some point

[deft stump]

Well, some ppl just wanna cosplay a shock mine.

[limpid lily]

sth weird about voidstrike idk, maybe they just need to up its charge speed a bit maybe?

[haughty star]

Surge is good as is. Best special killer in the whole game imo

Plus it actually kills crushers and shit decently and ccs them while doing so

[glacial garnet]

Is surge the blast or the balls

[haughty star]

The bolt

Uhhh

[glacial garnet]

Fie

[haughty star]

Ek

[glacial garnet]

Die*

[limpid lily]

FOR WHAT IT IS, it needs to be a bit more tbh

[deft stump]

At that point, I think running off writing yuri smut is a something I rather spend time on.

[jovial juniper]

Doomed Yuri between a smite lover and a inferno lover

💀

[royal totem]

Karien smut writer confirmed

[deft stump]

Unless you are bribing me with BBT, no interest.

[hearty wolf]

Brother

Are you still on about smite

[solar sparrow]

what are my single target/horde clear combos with GS mark 6

[hearty wolf]

You're both cringe playing Psyker, playing a class with infinite ammo and cleave

Get out and play a real class like Vet

[deft stump]

That's really Really REALLY old news.

[limpid lily]

lowkey

[royal totem]

Huh. I guess i somehow missed it. Im bad at reading subtext and such though

[deft stump]

You bribe me enough, I'll write almost anything.

[patent steeple]

you'd rather be doing that than spend time arguing here?

honestly, fair enough, but I personally think you should try finding something a bit more sane than writing smut of all things as a hobby/pastime...

[glacial garnet]

In the grim darkness of darktide discord, theres only smite war

[royal totem]

Writing smut is very sane

[jovial juniper]

I guess you just heavy for single targets and spam lights for hordes, until you fill the bar

[deft stump]

Hey, writing smut pays... kinda. I still prefer the fluffy non-XXX stuff though.

[glacial garnet]

"Hello, smite fetish artist, i would like you for some flame staff commission"

[royal totem]

Its amazing how much ppl are willing to pay for smut writingm genuinely

[deft stump]

Well, some ppl don't appreciate free with mutual writing stuff.

[patent steeple]

to each their own, I suppose. I myself have game dev stuff as a hobby, and idk how less or more sane that is compared to writing smut...

[austere warren]

Needing someone to be mentally ill for erotic writing is pretty silly

[deft stump]

If you count VNs as games... Well, heh.

[glacial garnet]

Theres a reason its called freak

[royal totem]

Fair point. im a non-smut writer

[austere warren]

Freak just scooped up by the internet by ppl too scared of yhe zip codes that even made the term. Plenty of socially well-adjusted and mature ppl in those circles lmao

You literally have to be in order to even gain traction for your brand.

[deft stump]

I can do either. I'm just usually too lazy till I'm not then you question why I go from one two lines to a gawddamned novel.

[patent steeple]

I don't. I myself am making a shooter game currently, but I think my sanity is dwindling, since I came up with the coolest idea ever: a grenade that explodes into flying chainsaws that chase enemies and then explode.

[deft stump]

That sounds like your own fault. Sounds like what I would do the regret it after.

[austere warren]

Do you just need to call yourself crazy for having an imagination? Someone writing a fantasy of nonsense chainsaw swords is far less questionable than a CEO who plans mass layoffs in the winter

Js

[royal totem]

Mood. If i had to explain to this discord what i write though i think id kms

[royal totem]

Facts

[deft stump]

Two-three-four-five lasses sharing the same bed.

Having a mutual shared dance on it, yes.

[patent steeple]

no, the type of imagination I have is a bit too full of dark humour and "disgusting and/or grotesque = cool and funny" stuff for me to safely call myself sane all the way...

[royal totem]

I brainrot hard on certain pairings

[deft stump]

I get to the point, is poly.

I can't explain it anymore other than they are all sharing each other.

[royal totem]

Feel like thats enough of an explanation

[deft stump]

Depends on mood. I do enjoy body horror as well. So what I can write ranges.

I even get weird arse dreams like a WHFantasy x Silent Hill crossover.

[royal totem]

I.....wont explain what i write

[austere warren]

An artist playing with dark themes is fully capable of doing so. What matters more is being responsible with what's bring written, conscious even. Plenty of ppl who just have wild body horror concepts that are completely fine ppl lol.

Unless you know exactly where the problematic shit really is coming from, not every single person cooking up a story needs to be branded as ill. And even then, that isn't some scarlet letter against their character

[royal totem]

The type of things i gravitate towards are wild

[deft stump]

Could just be weird kinks. No shame about it.

[royal totem]

im pretty sure Karien is more sane and stable than me though

[marble crater]

I thought Karien's hobby was carrying noobs in Darktide

[royal totem]

H40 carries

[austere warren]

I'll only have problem when fuckery is afoot. Abuse and kink aren't at all the same. But most ppl in the broader convo aren't really focusing on the fuckery usually.

[deft stump]

They aren't. Consent is always important. There are lines people should never cross without agreement.

[austere warren]

Yeh

[deft stump]

I'm not. You know I have extreme existential dread and crisis and such. The fear of death yet wanting it. It's a mess.

[bright minnow]

so this is what pyskers get up to

[deft stump]

I'm a vet main.

[bright minnow]

im lumping you in with the psykers anyway.

[austere warren]

This is the entire discord when the adults are talking broadly

[royal totem]

Im not a psyker player

[austere warren]

Better than ppl being actual shitheads with keyboards tbh.

Gen chat is just a handful of suspect mods away from being twitter

[royal totem]

Huh. Kinda describes me. Though i have very very many problems

[austere warren]

Class chats got streaks of channer slime still

[deft stump]

Well, it happens. Can be very sane and mature when it's not arguing over blitzes and such though.

[royal totem]

My mood can go from 0 to 100 to 0 within the same day. And sometimes i lie in bed and ask myself if its even worth getting up

[austere warren]

Dogmatic nerds on the internet are dime a dozen. The ones in the class chats can at least sometimes be more eloquent with their crib shaking lol

[deft stump]

Same. I question a lot of stuff that happened. I wonder if the world would be better if I died way back when I was around 12-13. Probably not much changes since a nobody.

[deft stump]

That's normal. I'm usually good at trying to keep it from the extremes. But some people can tell. I usually just hard withdraw from everyone then.

[royal totem]

Mmmm i like withdrawing

[deft stump]

Depends on which mains though, one could say.

[deft stump]

I do, but then I don't. A part of me misses some people. So cycle of mess.

[austere warren]

I'd say it exists in every chat tbh. Some rotate between chats, others stay in roughly one place, etc. Career trolls cycle fluidly between all, partially enabled by the broader community and mods, etc. Actual assholes move about, actions swallowed up by chat history. Whatever is going on on the branches tethered to this chat is wherever the fuck that is lol.

Online 40k fandom is pretty consistent with delivering on ppl that make the rest of fandom a free chud stereotype factory. 🤣

[royal totem]

I sadly understand that.

If anybody here is wondering? ADHD and autism dont cancel out

[austere warren]

They work pretty intensely together, yes.

[royal totem]

Chatting with me is wild. I can jump topics easily

[deft stump]

True. Ah well. Is just people. Anonymity makes things worse.

[deft stump]

They just work together to make things worse.

[deft stump]

I just one track usually, though where mood takes me.

[royal totem]

Being friends with me is unrecomended in my own words.

I prattle a lot about a story im writing

[graceful arch]

Do I count as a troll?

I do occasionally shitpost

[plucky flax]

Smut?

[royal totem]

I said earlier i dont write smut

[royal totem]

Pretty sure no

[graceful arch]

Likely story

[royal totem]

Nah. Smut is too hard to write

I leave that to Karien

[dusk timber]

Karien once again carrying 🗣️

[graceful arch]

Karien about to break their back from carrying too much

[deft stump]

I'm too lazy unless you are the one writing mutually with me.

[marble crater]

Karien x Nemui smut collaboration?

Better crossover than the Avengers

[tulip kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/all-ears-hear-out-im-listening-attentive-hearken-gif-22832705

[deft stump]

What do you mean, hard? Is just boring compared to the fluffy cuddles and kisses before they get to bed or something.

[tulip kettle]

tbh i dont want to read about cbt

[plucky flax]

Not like Karien then.

[royal totem]

Indeed

[deft stump]

What's that when it's yuri only?

[plucky flax]

If you want to be pro like karien you have to do better.

[graceful arch]

Cognitive behavioral therapy?

[tulip kettle]

remind me what yuri is?

is it the one where the women have dicks?

[royal totem]

Sharing umbrellas under the rain....soft kisses on the forehead....handholding...

[graceful arch]

That's futanari. But close enough

[deft stump]

Yeah, those are the best parts. I just write the smut cos others enjoy it.

[graceful arch]

Anyways enjoy your wholesome conversations I'm gonna go read.

[graceful arch]

What I'll be reading I'll leave open to interpretation.

[deft stump]

Clearly smut.

[graceful arch]

Clearly

[royal totem]

I like reading hurt/comfort

[dusk timber]

Same

[deft stump]

I just want comfort. I hurt enough as is so don't wanna see my chars hurting.

[radiant frigate]

i like reading psyker chat

[wraith sphinx]

[brazen warren]

truely a psyker thing to say

[plucky flax]

I don't.

Don't talk politics and real world events in a gaming discord kids

[royal totem]

Some of my charas very traumatized

[plucky flax]

#freeclad

He went to jail for our sin.

[wraith sphinx]

(I miss him too)

[dusk timber]

Why are you giving clads away for free

[marble crater]

Degenerate

[deft stump]

The ones in my teen years are. One is a fountain of youth in sense... ppl abuse her for her blood that de-ages others and for her organs, since she can regenerate them.

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

All my chars are kinda part of me in a snapshot window of time but fantasy.

[marble crater]

In my teen years I went drinking with my friends

[deft stump]

Bullies hurt me yet stop only to get me to do their work for them or to copy my stuff.

[royal totem]

I think thats lots of writers.

[deft stump]

He said too much to a mod even.

[royal totem]

One of my charas got abandoned at an orphanage though

[plucky flax]

Janitor.

[royal totem]

Which i cant personally relate but yea

[marble crater]

Fraud

[plucky flax]

Discord/reddit mods

[deft stump]

I guess. My newer chars tend to be a little less linked, mostly due to RPing too much so at some point, they become distant?

[royal totem]

Fair enough. I dont RP

[deft stump]

A fallen veteran x a disillusioned zealot still best.

[royal totem]

._. Cant relate. I think i only write in fantasy settings

[deft stump]

"Worship me instead of the Emperor who does nothing and likely forsaken most." (In bed, btw.)

[mossy elbow]

is warp battery most easily done in the mortis trials

[deft stump]

The one where you gotta upkeep for like 2 mins or something? Normal high diff mission without lifts.

The wait times are a problem.

[deft stump]

I can do any setting. The Cyberpunk one is coming to an end soon. Next is either Star Wars Legends stuff or Bloodborne.

I get to world build for the former.

[royal totem]

Karien better than me xD

[icy breach]

you are both at the same lv of skill

why?

simple; Karien has 300 ping that holds her skill in check

[deft stump]

No, I'm still bad. Just less so.

[austere warren]

Idk you so idk

[royal totem]

Nah. Karien is excellence

[mossy elbow]

wait times?

cuz in high difficulty missions i feel like i can’t sustain that

[deft stump]

Isn't warp battery the one you gotta be at max stack for the time?

[mossy elbow]

i might jus go into an auric maelstrom when my psyker actually can tbf

[icy breach]

yeah wdym by that?

🤔

[deft stump]

You can't kill in lifts, causing you to not be at max stacks anymore?

Or am I mixing it with the DD one?

[icy breach]

[rare oxide]

How to do with lightning abilitie?

[mossy elbow]

no u got the right one

That’s why i thought mortis might be best

but i think ill jus go auric maelstrom and it’ll just happen naturally

i’m really annoyed bc empowered psionics was like the single coolest thing ever with brain burst and this feels weak in comparison

[deft stump]

Thing is, is it the consecutive time one or not. If it is, the inbetween rounds timer will screw you over.

[mossy elbow]

Later rounds normally have like

an abundance of elites

and are a few minutes

[royal totem]

The real annoyance

[deft stump]

Still limited. Only 3/6/9 is technically inf. They WILL slow down though if not aurics.

[royal totem]

Is having to not use your ability

[mossy elbow]

ig ill jus use auric

[mossy elbow]

i didn’t even realise it did that

😭

What is this hell 😭

[royal totem]

Yeah its bad

[mossy elbow]

i mean i somehow got keep your distance

by accident

I think that’s stolen like years of my luck

[royal totem]

Lmaoooo

[deft stump]

Be me, forget your ult exist because peril juggle so no need to vent.

[mossy elbow]

i mean when i was doing the penance about surviving perals of the warp with psykinetics wrath i was surprised with how long it took me purely bc late keystones are just

insane

warp ghost was very useful for it tho

honestly it took me forever to try maxing my psyker bc early game felt so bad

atm it’s really fun

[deft stump]

I had to do it on purpose lul. I had like 2 of it by the time I started penance hunting.

[royal totem]

To get up today or not to....

[deft stump]

Just do so?

[royal totem]

i did ._. but only cuz i had to go ask somebody questions

hey. getting up is a lot of effort. need to make sure the payoff is worth it

stop staring at me >.>

[deft stump]

Rejected.

[royal totem]

._. why you do this to me Karien

[icy breach]

[deft stump]

Because I understand.

[deft stump]

I force myself out of bed every single day, you know.

[royal totem]

._. damn. sounds a lot like me

[deft stump]

There's a reason I would like to die when my pc does.

[royal totem]

my social interaction is limited to online people

[deft stump]

I have no reason to live at that point.

[plucky flax]

Me too. Waking up for work too hard.

[marble crater]

Karien is a voyeur

[royal totem]

idk. making irl friends too hard

[deft stump]

Thus, no reason to if no net and games.

[royal totem]

fair enough ._.

[austere warren]

Dunno what you gotta put up with directly in your personal life. If there ever is a chance to have more direct human interaction and nurture those bonds as healthily as possible do that over convincing yourself that being a shut-in is the move. It's extremely difficult especially for ppl that have to contend more constantly with something like ableism against an asd diagnosis, but far better than fading into online where shitty things spread faster.

And less dangerous if your community already has serious issues with passive and active bigotry. Getting used to fighting back against how the world wants to mistreat you often comes with humanizing yourself via defiance to people's expectations and aggression towards you for being different in those ways. That can mean actually developing a network friends that care about you and shy away from enabling horseshit from anyone within that friend circle. That can mean getting involved in direct hobbies with like minded people who just want to spend quality time with folks. Many doors

[deft stump]

I'll be honest, I'm bad with ppl IRL. Online is much easier. It might be from the lack of any social skills from someone who spent half her life bullied to hell.

[royal totem]

being honest, i have 0 social skills.

if anybody wants to ask me how dafaq i'm married i'd say i have 0 clue

[marble crater]

Surely people without social skills aren't on discord either

[deft stump]

Low social skills.

[austere warren]

Yeah that trauma is persistent as fuck. If you can, do what you need with people you trust to bring yourself out more, ideally with backup from friends sincere about looking out for one another.

[deft stump]

There's a problem when there are none offline. Everyone I met offline ends up just not being friends anymore.

[royal totem]

this is so relatable

[austere warren]

If you're able to more honestly understand why that could be an angle into changing that

[royal totem]

so on some level i think your advice is sound but also like i'm so off of neurotypical it's also just not very doable for me

[austere warren]

Not a 100% guarantee but friendships are hard like any other positive relationship to maintain. Folks get pulled all over the place with adult life when it comes to jobs, making ends meet, fuckery besieged on people by authorities and public shitheads, etc.

[austere warren]

I wouldn't even say that it's entirely neurotypical but I understand what you mean.

I just don't allow myself to place interaction as something exclusive to neurotypical shit. Gives a lot of false power in some ways imo.

It's extremely difficult to hang out in spaces where difference in how brains can work is...hm, staggered I'll say that. Stifled in worse cases. The masking is too hard and exhausting and pointless so I just rejected it completely over time as I grew older. I didn't want to be forced into seclusion. And at the very least, I'd often face down bullies as often as I had to because it was part of that sort of drive to not let it dominate my life.

[rigid sky]

It helps to find hobbies that attract other empathetic neurodiverse people. Quite hard to find though.

[austere warren]

So I got used to getting people to leave me alone if no wasn't being understood. Eventually others picked up the energy and got more friends. Geography also played a huge role in that transformation socially so that's always extremely relevant. Developing online community with people takes time and effort to sustain, correct whenever harm is present, etc. Worth doing for the sake of the people who need that connection most.

[royal totem]

i'm glad that worked out for you but it didn't work out so well for me cuz i'm in an unforgiving minority that grew up a minority so yeah

things like that just never worked out for me

[austere warren]

Likewise. But many doors is many doors at the end of the day. I'll always say that pushing back is worth it because that's the only thing that has ever worked for me. Granted, there's loads of other things working in tandem that I'm not airing out in a publicord but yeah. It's never easy and honestly, never like "over" ig.

[royal totem]

see i'm not bullied anymore but like i also just have no social skills and live in an isolated area. so really making online friends is the only option for me

[austere warren]

And for folks that got harder challenges than others in day to day, they're the ones that need that backup the most when they can actually safely say that they got it.

[vital kayak]

invest in urself, workout abit, go outside and dont be depressed

[austere warren]

Yeah. Geography is a huge player.

[austere warren]

We don't know what other problems the person has to put up with. Hard for someone with physical disability for example to just work out in the first place. Other factors like publically sustained bigotry just makes going outside a direct hazard.

[hearty wolf]

Monologue

[royal totem]

"don't be depressed" is the equivalent of telling somebody homeless "just go buy a home"

[hearty wolf]

What's the tldr

[austere warren]

Nobody can just wake up and turn off depression.

[vital kayak]

im depressed too, but i just choose to work on myself

[hearty wolf]

Oh being depressed doesn't matter

[royal totem]

also for the record, i'm permanantly injured enough that things are a pain but i can still walk (not run though)

[hearty wolf]

Just play more Darktide

[royal totem]

lift weights? can't do that.

[hearty wolf]

Your duty is more important than your feelings

[vital kayak]

all good, go outside for a walk is enough

get some fresh air sometimes

[austere warren]

Might be useful to get more online friends that might be able to help you with getting resources.

I'm unsure about plenty because we're strangers. Wouldn't recommend airing some of that out in a publicord since some mfkers just see people being people as a chance to be a shithead.

[vital kayak]

i got no real friends since the longest time, i think i just got used to being alone. Shi is hard st when u dont have people to talk to, but really u got to take care of urself also, no one can do beter than u

i chosed to smoked and do lsd, fked my head for awhile, smoke till i cough up blood, but im abit better now

so no worries, just try to take care of urself and feel good about urself

[mossy elbow]

what’s the psykers 3rd ult actually

i keep forgetting it exists

the one that isn’t the warp wuelling one and the one that isn’t the shrink

40 kills right?

[patent jacinth]

Its extremely good

Like

Hilariously

[ripe obsidian]

No you

[royal totem]

No U

Step 1. Don't play darktide yourself
Step 2. Tell other people to play Darktide
Step 3. ?????
Step 4. Profit

[hearty wolf]

I don't want to play darktide, it's awful

[jovial juniper]

Truest true to ever truthed

[hearty wolf]

But it's a good game so other people should

[royal totem]

dunno. I like it less and less these days

[verbal thistle]

new beastman class will change that

[austere warren]

Game still neat for me. I just got other shit that distracts me/takes priority.

[royal totem]

idk the game keeps dcing me or giving me teammates that leave

[mossy elbow]

so 40 kills is p easy especially if i do the more enemies thing right

[peak sundial]

just take Crack of Bone and the greatsword and go nuts

[full storm]

How do u build the ball thrower staff?

[royal totem]

i think i got it using voidblast

the 40 kills

[jovial juniper]

Nexus + Surge/Flurry

Surge for burst
Flurry for the better charging time

(just go Nexus Surge lol)

[full storm]

And with that staff I have to bring something for crushers right?

Nvm yes, this thing is horribl on crushers

[jovial juniper]

Yeah crushers are more melee it until it dies nowadays

But VoidSTRIKE often uses a very similar build of melee psyker

So you won't be struggling at meleeing crushers to death

Speaking of melee it until it dies

All 4 base classes can 1 shot crushers

With melee

Isn't that funny

[rigid sky]

Used to be able to 1-cast Crushers with voidstrike using DD

15 stack even without SG

Might be able to now with 25 stack and SG? IDK

Obviously needs to be a crit but it feels pretty fun just lobbing the slow ball at a Crusher on the other end of the bridge and just fucking ending it

[wraith sphinx]

Voidstrike and voidblast staves desperately need a namechange

[patent steeple]

they already had one.

I doubt FS will change the names again, even if GW would allow it... (I assume the staves need to have lore/tabletop rulebook accurate names because GW says so...)

[nimble burrow]

voidstrike, you are bowling for a strike. voidblast, kaboom! pretty easy to figure out.

[jovial juniper]

Sure
But strike also has kaboom at the end

It's dogshit kaboom

But still

[nimble burrow]

psyker also kaboom.

[patent steeple]

but both have the word "void" at the start of the name, and I think some people don't read the names fully...

I have seen a few Surge + Nexus VB builds with gaze and assail in auric iirc...

[jovial juniper]

Warp blast would sound better

[tulip kettle]

soon we have voidflame and voidshock staves

i cant wait

[weary idol]

yeah like voidstrike can keep its same name

but voidblast should be renamed to something distinct like uh I dunno

Trauma?

Trauma force staff has a good ring to it

[wraith sphinx]

exactly

[polar flower]

I wish I could juice a banana

Like an orange

Id like to drink one

[austere warren]

Banana juice is real. Not idea how people make it.

Well, not sure how much "juice" there really is at that point. But folks find all kinds of ways.

[marble crater]

Banana juice is also really delicious, banana+cherry juice is even better

[sinful violet]

You milk the banana for its juice :3

[austere warren]

Like are people just pressing it and extracting?

That's my first thought

But idk how to milk fruits.

[sinful violet]

It’s just a blended banana

[austere warren]

Time to look it up.

But yeah that works too

[sinful violet]

You add milk or water and blend it

[austere warren]

Liquefied via blenderino I know

[wind spruce]

Psyker chat is right I SHOULD have a banana milkshake for brekky

[austere warren]

I was thinking of something else really.

It's good and nutritious.

[wind spruce]

Key ingredient is vanilla essence btw

[austere warren]

I ignore vanilla extract.

I just throw in fruits I know play very well with each other, maybe something else like plain yogurt for added thickness and go from there.

[wraith sphinx]

I love banana+blueberry milkshakes

[weary idol]

I love banana+strawberry milkshakes

[wraith sphinx]

Whenever both are available to buy I always make myself those once in a ewhile

[weary idol]

this makes us red team and blue team

and thus mortal enemies

Out of spells

Out of bullets

But not out of spelled bullets

(FGS puncture go brrrr)

[wraith sphinx]

YEAHH

[mighty shuttle]

I'm curious

For a psyker focused on greatsword kind of melee durability and crowd clear, do you guys graviate to one keystone or other

Or have you ever ignored/disregarded keystones with psyker builds?

[acoustic jacinth]

Disrupt destiny is a cornerstone of most meleeker builds and rightfully so

[mighty shuttle]

What makes it particularly good relative to say- Warp battery?

I orginally did empowered psionic so I could havej uicy short BB

But I found that even using BB with it, was too long for me in certain situation and that it was more situational on a build that I felt like I had so much talents I'd like to take instead

[acoustic jacinth]

As meleeker you're very likely running SG, something that has nearly no cooldown. Even if you were running bubble knight builds, the cooldown is again so meagre that losing DD is just not worth it

Eh

EP builds are fun but just that

For better results meleeker wise just go SG + DD

[mighty shuttle]

Yeah I'm just trying to equip my melee psyker to be well rounded in picking off threats

[dusk wren]

if you are going melee psyker, you won't be well rounded

otherwise you wouldn't be a melee psyker

[mighty shuttle]

But I realized I kinda never use my voidstrike and I find BB frustrating in trying to kill snipers or ranged units in auric maelstorms due to so much interfering with the lock ons so I figured I'll level up my bolt pistol

Well I don't know if it changes it, but if I rephrased it as "I'd like to have answer or be semi-self sufficient build wise even if I'm not best doing certain jobs."

[dusk wren]

then go gunker/melee psyker hybrid

[mighty shuttle]

I already use SG for the record I kinda figured out few of my builds on my own and just experimenting with talents

[acoustic jacinth]

I mean, snipers/ranged units can be easily dealt with via something like a las pistol/bolt pistol as you mentioned. You can ditch BB for assail which comes in handy for a meleeker

And also frees up a talent point

not having to take Kinetic Flayer

[mighty shuttle]

For sure, I'm just so fond of the warp slice and kinetic flayer combo

[dusk wren]

where is the combo

[mighty shuttle]

Just that warp slice triggers the Kinetic flayer so if there's one elite in a crowd of trash, it gets brainbursted

And also it comes up pretty frequently so being able to graze an elite with light attack then use a heavy to dispatch another is a nice element, but I've considered getting assail instead.

[acoustic jacinth]

There sadly isn't much correlation to that, anything can set off KF. An with the elite density in higher difficulties it'll be nothing

That is not to say that KF is not strong

But not particularly shining in this build

[mighty shuttle]

For sure, it's not a reliable thing with warp slice

But I also just keep eye on my KF and warp slice whenever it comes up to use it as often as I can if I find I am not being mobbed by elites as is

[dusk wren]

you could really just swap to the staff and fire a single shot

[mighty shuttle]

Plus it's surprisingly nice asset with mute rush where if I'm surprised I can graze first mute and insta kill before using heavies to one hit mutes after that. So I admit I'm super used to that, but I plan to try bolt pistol first,

Yeah I just have very high perils

And I've never found that I'm good with using voidstrike staff at all, it could be playstyle/skill issue but I almost do everything with greatsword or BB

[dusk wren]

brain burst is pretty much unusable tho

[mighty shuttle]

Thus why I'm swapping things around to see if new combination is better asset to me.

[dusk wren]

this is the bowling ball stuff right

[acoustic jacinth]

Give this a shot sometime if you like.

[dusk wren]

i always mix up voidblast and voidstrike

[mighty shuttle]

Yup

The cannon ball

[granite stratus]

Voidstrike is the bowling ball one

[mighty shuttle]

Why do you use maelfic momentum?

[acoustic jacinth]

FGS

Your wave slash is warp damage

[dusk wren]

no just a dream?

[mighty shuttle]

Oh interesting

[dusk wren]

i would take just a dream instead of anticipation

[mighty shuttle]

I have take a dream, anticipation and one with warp

[acoustic jacinth]

I personally dislike JaD as a whole, but this change can be made

[mighty shuttle]

I'm greedy about those talents

I'm also admittedly leaning on deflector on my greatsword I am just a sucker for being able to block and eat projectile if I make a misplay

But I'm cautious on leaning on it too much to give me bad habits for it.

[dusk wren]

i would really avoid that

[mighty shuttle]

Yeah I'm just learning my way around psyker fragility

So I might swap that blessing out soon as I'm getting solid pace for things, I play Ogryn and Arbites quite a bit, and wanted to challenge myself playing Psyker and just be better player in optimizing my damage taken.

[acoustic jacinth]

Deflector is not the best for meleeker but on staff builds it works well (still not mandatory or anything like that). Kinetic Deflection + deflector on your force sword is a very easy way to handle hairy situations

I personally don't take it regardless but yeah

[mighty shuttle]

I also feel silly

[zealous wing]

i run deflector on all my force weapons

[mighty shuttle]

I never took the ogryn killing talent

To be fair I'm bit starved for talent points so harder to take it

[zealous wing]

even if youre not blocking bullets, the reduced block cost is lovely

[mighty shuttle]

But I've been really wanting to crunch carapace and ogryns well by myself.

[acoustic jacinth]

Vulnerable minds is really good

Free damage

Psyker isn't lacking in that anyways but ye lol

Like, meleeker with active SG and DD buffs can easily one tap crushers

[mighty shuttle]

I'm also entertained I managed to trial error myself into having like 90% of psyker melee build down

So happy with that haha

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah

[mighty shuttle]

Hrm I wonder if I feel like I hamstrung myself badly for so long once I use DD

Instead of enhanced kinetics

[acoustic jacinth]

DD is quite good tbh

[mighty shuttle]

I need to decide between killing ogryn talent, or maelfic momentum

[zealous wing]

both

[acoustic jacinth]

Very solid toughness gen especially on top of SG

• finesse

Again same with SG

Great synergy

[acoustic jacinth]

Send ur tree

[mighty shuttle]

How do I do that

I can't piecemeal screenshots
