psyker-class

[zealous wing]

(and no voc but meh)

[deft stump]

No free ammo though.

[weary idol]

better melee is pushing it in a world where psword exists

[deft stump]

And has dog.

[zealous wing]

not until hive scum

[weary crane]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f33120d-cce0-44fb-ac64-b2fa87a6a7a7/shock-spammer

This is my arby build for havoc

[zealous wing]

personally, psword feels like absolute ass to use, therefore fails the vibe check

[royal totem]

I can only play arb if i have shield

[weary crane]

Power sword has like the worst movement in the game

[royal totem]

@deft stump do u like psword?

[weary crane]

Bruh with the damage resistance on my build you don't need shield

[deft stump]

I'm a knoife spammer.

[zealous wing]

using psword is just like spamming illisi specials, kinda doesnt make it worth bringing a still pretyt bad weapon otherwise

[deft stump]

Mk6.

If I wanna brain deader, just DS4.

[royal totem]

Its to push into gunners cuz god forbid my team does anything.

[royal totem]

Fair. I just use silly shovel

Randoms no push in havoc 20s

[deft stump]

Mk3 memes or bust then.

[deft stump]

Arby push l1 l2 is funny.

[royal totem]

Srry mine is nonfolding

[deft stump]

Just keep spamming into hordes.

[royal totem]

Havoc with randoms is a game of chicken

Who will push first

[zealous wing]

its the secret 5th modifier

the trick is to be a bubble psyker

its 100% a mind game

[royal totem]

Modifier too hard. Plz remove

[deft stump]

Nobody. I end up trying but we die since a bubble is good for cover but most psykers never actually use it.

[zealous wing]

people think they need bubble to save them from bullets, in reality we have it to make players feel ok moving forward

[royal totem]

And im back to pfing havocs

[weary idol]

me!

[deft stump]

Since I'm running alone to the next spot while the others run out headless.

[weary idol]

the uh....exe stance veteran

apparently I'm the front of the team now

[zealous wing]

sure bubbles great for sniper saves/ gunner walls /burgle muzzling /reaper capping, but it gets the most use being placed as often as possible where you need to go

[royal totem]

Exactly!

[zealous wing]

doms reaction when the oggy wouldnt move forward and i the bubbleknight was like, FUCK IT WE MOVE! bubble

[deft stump]

Depends on map tbh, some more open ones, bubble helps cross without taking chip.

[zealous wing]

(it worked as it always does)

[zealous wing]

true, but thats the small part of bubble use imo

[royal totem]

But yeah im back to playing havocs with randoms

[deft stump]

You know when an arby is using nuncio like a budget bubble... the team is really sus.

[analog verge]

bubble is a great tool because it makes teammates go where you want them to like an rts

[zealous wing]

he was a bit confused but i think he was also proud of me for not taking that shit for long, "oh ok hex is pushing, that works"

[royal totem]

So i always have 5th modifier

[deft stump]

Is just nice and visible in the chaos.

[plucky flax]

Same I push alone and die because Karien like to watch me go in and die so she can claim she ress me and save the run (which is true)

[zealous wing]

its a beacon :D

[weary crane]

Lol not really

Randoms ignore bubble and nuncio

[analog verge]

okay well if you have really bad/really good teammates it doesnt work

but i find most randoms will fly towards the bubble like moths

[zealous wing]

nuncio i 100% understand ignoring, i still dont 100% know wtf it does

[deft stump]

Because I'm slow, but avg pub is slower.

[weary crane]

It's hard to tell but it helps a lot

[summer prairie]

tbh Agent does the opposite when I get pushed by armor, he runs back first with the knife

[analog verge]

base, it provides slightly less toughness regen than bubble, +30% suppression dealt, +30% impact, immunity to slowdown/suppression, lower recoil and extra damage to an ything inside

[zealous wing]

ye i know its like, debuffs on enemies buffs on teammates kind of deal, with a visible ring, but a shield has that actual FEEL of safety

[plucky flax]

Armour guys scary I only melee them on arby.

[zealous wing]

i see a nuncio i feel meh about it, i see bubble and i know, thats where at least one teammate be

[analog verge]

it has a shitton of benefits but yknow, actual ranged immunity is hard to beat

[royal totem]

Safety is a feeling

[deft stump]

But the psyker refuses to drop one.

[mighty cipher]

Doesn’t bubble also have a TDR node?

[analog verge]

it provides less TDR than bubble but it lasts the entire duration instead of only popping when it disappears

[zealous wing]

thats the struggle, people know to take bubble but not WHY

[deft stump]

So nobody moves.

So wipe to inf armoured.

[analog verge]

goddamnit, i saw hive scum in gameslantern and i got excited to see its tree for a moment

[analog verge]

yeah, 30% for nuncio vs 50% for bubble

difference is it takes an extra point to reach it, and it only triggers when the shield ends rather than for the entire duration of nuncio

[zealous wing]

its NOT an extra point

[analog verge]

but since shield dropping is when you'll actually need to survive

[zealous wing]

its a core point

[royal totem]

Havoc anybody?

[analog verge]

yes, yes, its a must-take, but its still technically three points vs two

[zealous wing]

if you dont take toughness regen for bubble... you fail bubble of safety/arena

[royal totem]

I just want to play more silly vet

[zealous wing]

the bubble is meant to be the "be here. fight here" marker

[zealous wing]

what level? might be havoced out, dunno

[deft stump]

Technically, for most, only the buff side matters for nuncio. I just take both cos I do no damage anyway.

[royal totem]

Take wall with no modifiers so ppl think safe behind but uts not

[plucky flax]

I can do 1 or 2.

Before food then kcd2 after.

[zealous wing]

taking wall is taking no ability at all

[analog verge]

yeah i wasnt considering the weird other node since you don't have to take it

im not sure if its good, it just feels odd

[deft stump]

Is okay in mixed hordes since it slows all attacks down and reduces damage done if something actually hits.

[zealous wing]

you can also throw it so if youre in cover planning to take out a crowd thats good too

[deft stump]

Including boss damage.

[royal totem]

@zealous wing whats your havoc? should be ok if chaos is playing

[zealous wing]

let me check

[royal totem]

just don't wanna do poop gas

[zealous wing]

h23

if we get a 4th i'd be down to try something higher, if we need a random tho i dont wanna bother imma be completely honest

[deft stump]

Not when someone is as bad as a random lul.

[zealous wing]

it depends

[royal totem]

@plucky flax want to do Hexis's or too ez?

mine is pretty bad right now cuz it's rot/toll

[zealous wing]

if we get a 4th im down for 33 or 40 100%

[royal totem]

i honestly just like playing havoc lol

[plucky flax]

Hmm 23 is a bit low what's yours?

[royal totem]

32 rot toll

[plucky flax]

Yeah can do that.

[royal totem]

*stares at @zealous wing *

up to you

[zealous wing]

any takers for a 4th

i have no friends online so none on my side

[royal totem]

guess if there's nobody i just won't play though.

my friend isn't around at the moment either 😭

[mighty cipher]

Hang on

Let me boot my game up

[royal totem]

this sounds like a 4th

[zealous wing]

we are in eu, and will be playing eu because agents rule, long as its not an issue

[mighty cipher]

Fine by me

[zealous wing]

i saw ninja typing also, if you wanna play some auric after, ninja, im down

[royal totem]

to be honest playing in EU affects me the most personaly

but since i don't care there's th at

i don't really play in NA

[quiet inlet]

ninja was typing in the wrong window. I'll do havocs in 6 hours or so

[royal totem]

ok sounds like we have 4

[zealous wing]

lmao

[royal totem]

probs need invites then

[zealous wing]

so was just perfect timing then

ye i can collect

[royal totem]

@plucky flax

[quiet inlet]

I should quit my job and move to france, then I can play havocs on EU servers ALL.THE.TIME

[plucky flax]

Making the most heretical shotgun for my arby.

[analog verge]

hideous, its perfect

[upbeat kestrel]

I forgot that weapon custom mod exists

[deft stump]

You'll get used to it. Play feast or famine defensively.

[royal totem]

it's not too bad as long as it's a stable like 150-200 ping

[deft stump]

There's stable 300 and unstable 300.

[royal totem]

i'm already used to it cuz most of my havoc is in EU

stable 300 better than unstable

[deft stump]

I know.

And then there is, we are in RU servers cos I'm teleporting and DCing.

[quartz barn]

Karien spreading her legend to unknown servers

[summer prairie]

Are there even russian servers

[deft stump]

No clue, but it happens like that in other games with servers near or in RU.

[royal totem]

@zealous wing want to stick in a strike team so you can tell me to fall back?

[deft stump]

My net is not amused.

The connection is at least 46% packet loss.

[quartz barn]

Tbf if you somehow are on russian servers theres a chance your connection is scuffed cause sanctions

[deft stump]

Other than, I click, nearly a sec later, my char moves.

[deft stump]

True, so might be servers next to RU.

Cos when I play with EU ppl that are from places next to RU, same happens.

But when I play with more Germans/Brits and like, my connection is far more stable.

[quartz barn]

Im guessing those use servers in frankfurt, prob one of the best in europe

[deft stump]

And mind you is still crazy ping, but easier to gauge than straight up D&D.

[tulip kettle]

then you would have to deal with the french

not better

[deft stump]

They'll hon hon hon you out of France?

[tulip kettle]

fuckin based karien

[zealous wing]

hi dom

[tulip kettle]

allo

[zealous wing]

im faling at purg psyker o7 but im trying

[tulip kettle]

i am in a meeting rn else i would join for havocs

[deft stump]

I mean, it just means nasally laughter.

[tulip kettle]

au contraire

[deft stump]

Is not?

[tulip kettle]

i mean yes but its also just talking trash about the french being stuck up and arrogant. Which makes you an honorary european

[zealous wing]

dead again already

[deft stump]

I mean, some are normal for sure. But like the black sheep thing, doesn't mean everyone is like that.

[zealous wing]

:p

trapper, flamers, bomber right after res a la spawncamp crusher

[deft stump]

Sounds like no shockmines

[zealous wing]

no

[deft stump]

There is a reason why dog vs shockmines hit me hard.

[marble crater]

And that's how you lost your honorary European status

[deft stump]

I don't get it.

[long saddle]

you read fr*nch and you tell them bad

shrimple

[deft stump]

I just try not to judge people who actually got closer to me friend wise.

Over things like race and religion.

[marble crater]

Dom gave you honorary European status for mocking the Fr*nch and I took it away again because you sympathized with the them

[long saddle]

french is not a marginalized group so

[marble crater]

They aren't even people

[quiet inlet]

France was just because it's somewhat central and a language I understand. The only german I know are rammstein lyrics

and the word for manager, bearbiter, which just makes me giggle because it looks like "bear biter"

[deft stump]

I heard one was just a cookie recipie or so.

[quiet inlet]

and if somebody bites a fekkin bear, I'd consider them manager material

[quiet inlet]

Sounds right. I don't even know what the lyrics mean, just how the words sound 😂

[deft stump]

Is just German. Sounds aggressive to a non-native to the language.

[marble crater]

Are you thinking of "Bearbeiter"? It doesn't really mean manager, more like a person who does stuff, editor, processor, agent

[quiet inlet]

ICH LIEBE DICH!!!!!

[deft stump]

Like some Metal growls that are hilariously tame or wholesome but... lul.

[quiet inlet]

Yep, that's the one. Whatever it means, it does not mean person who bites bears.

[deft stump]

Most can't understand Metal Growls.

[dull scroll]

had to take French class here in Canada, that language

why write 70% of the characters if you are not going to pronouce them smh

[marble crater]

Indeed it does not a person who bites bears would be a Bärbeißer I guess

[deft stump]

Heh.

[quiet inlet]

Danke! Guess who just found their next character name 😁😁😁

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

When they drop actual Catachans?

Same energy.

Running at giant death monsters with a big knoife.

[quiet inlet]

I won't remember that long. maybe a dog name

[marble crater]

Better yet Bärenbeißer, plural and sounds a bit better as well

If ä is not possible you can use ae

[deft stump]

That makes me think Barren Bieber.

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

The girls when I was in school liked Bieber. I clearly did not.

It got annoying fast.

[marble crater]

I also don't like him, because I am not a girl

[tulip kettle]

with their umlauts and essets

[marble crater]

[deft stump]

You don't wanna know or uhh, ask in DMs.

It's a Eszett, show some respect

[deft stump]

Oh gawd, looking it up made me think of worse things.

The sanest being genderbent Horus with generous assets.

[marble crater]

Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to have internet access

[deft stump]

I think I need a cold shower.

[hidden current]

Which melee weapon is best for clearing hordes? I'm gonna try LMB electrokinetic build so i need melee with good horde clear

[deft stump]

FGS. But you will be slow. Illisi might do, but it only horde clears and nothing else.

[hidden current]

I would not mind something that can stagger some elites too if i had to choose between option to do this and having weapon ONLY for horde clearing

[deft stump]

Unless you are up for learning combos, then go for Obscurus.

[marble crater]

Illisi can certainly stagger elites, including knocking crushers on their ass while they overhead your friends

[deft stump]

Just does no damage to them unless you full meme on it.

As in, crushers.

[marble crater]

Yeah, but it's okay horde clear

Buff Illisi

[hidden current]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Av6T7DJRkm78M3csiZec6p7-cHXOWiKyjpOJ-FWV3g/edit?tab=t.0 why does surge surge build have Souldrinker if this build does not even have perilous combustion?

How am i supposed to inflict soulblaze then?

[marble crater]

Because it doesn't have to be your Soulblaze, so with another Psyker in the team you still get the benefits

[deft stump]

They usually run it with inferno vent on the other.

The Syllo Chaos stack.

[hidden current]

Oh right, i'm stupid, there's alternative version without talents focusing on soulblaze

[deft stump]

When they feel bubble isn't needed.

Usually cos the fourth is a book zealot.

[hidden current]

I'm surprised that version without soublaze does not have disrupt destiny, but instead it uses warp siphon

[hidden current]

what's illisi?

[deft stump]

Oh, this reminds me. I should make JaD an optional choice for newbies. See if they like it or not. Will mess with it after shower.

[marble crater]

Name for one of the normal force sword marks

[coral jungle]

I saw a psyker with the beta tester helmet

[zinc phoenix]

People wear those? They look terrible

I wear the mob 21 but I won’t put on the beta hat

[coral jungle]

Agreed, but i still saw one

[coral jungle]

He also had the 21 backpack on

[royal totem]

make life harder for newbies :3

[deft stump]

Nu.

[royal totem]

i'm making Hexis's life hard at the moment 😛

[ripe obsidian]

I think I have a note in the EK section about that, no?

[deft stump]

I know JaD is a taste thing. People should try it but drop if they can't juggle their peril even with vent.

[royal totem]

ah ok i conclude 7am is too early for havoc. people start showing up later. noted

[tulip kettle]

JaD is great, i just personally dont like it

its not about managing peril, its just that it can cause you to gain peril when you arent expecting to = boom

its also the strongest DR talent in the game

[ripe obsidian]

Or gaining peril due to pox gas...

So you can't use your staff

Death by frantically trying to quell rather than headsploding

[ripe obsidian]

I should make a note of that.

[deft stump]

Why I'm thinking of making it an optional pick up in the guide and figuring out some good alts to pick.

Like, do try it to see if it clicks, but drop for alts if not.

[ripe obsidian]

I've noted that I should clarify why Souldrinker is picked when you don't have PC or Shriek.

I'll do that when I get home

Thanks for pointing that out @hidden current

[deft stump]

Like, I would even go so far as to reccomend the 30% quell speed over it if it really screws you over.

[ripe obsidian]

I'll quell you. >:(

[deft stump]

Throw to 90%, quell down to 75%~ throw 2 more, rinse and repeat.

[deft stump]

What. Is like, if JaD is killing them horribly.

[royal totem]

@tulip kettle hopping in VC?

[deft stump]

There are likely better nodes.

But am like, preparing to shower now so herp.

[ripe obsidian]

JaD is a strong node. But I don't feel it's worth it. At least for me.

It's killed me more than it's saved me

Usually if I am dying, the game is already lost and I am just being stubborn

Usually.

Sometimes I am being a doofus

[deft stump]

Why I want it reccomended, but optional if it doesn't click.

It's very strongly a, if it works for you, it can be good, but otherwise... herp only meleeker builds.

So planning on like, retooling it and uh, maybe I need to open photoshop and draw squiggles.

I still have CS2, right?

[long saddle]

I don't run JaD on staff builds

[deft stump]

I also think I'm typing too much and need to put down the phone.

[deft stump]

It's newbie full assail build.

I know it works up to heresy fine.

Even at 300 ping.

I sometimes drag it into damnation but loses stopping power to a degree lul.

Do note, I drag it with 3x stamina curios with weirder subnodes.

The stuff I suggest for curios on the actual build is a million times saner.

Because 14 stam psyker is funny. I also have KD. XD

[tulip kettle]

take phone in shower

[deft stump]

It already is in it.

That's the problem.

I'm too busy typing to actually do anything. Lul.

[zinc phoenix]

The alpha stuff is the real deal tho

[wraith sphinx]

I use it only on my gunker builds and inferno

Tho I could comfortably remove it from the latter since any decent inferno staff build is already unstoppable

[strong gulch]

Saw syllo using JaD as budget warp unbound.

[deft stump]

I mean, it works cos bugged to put you at 97% if you get hit at 100% without entering kamikaze mode.

[strong gulch]

Yip

I was grabbed by a cspawn in gas. 97 100 97 100 97... Lol

[coral jungle]

It is cool, i like the zealots hood a lot

oh wait that picture its the gun thats glowing green, not zealots mask

[ripe obsidian]

It is more useful on gunker and meleeker, yes

[ripe obsidian]

I believe I have it as yellow in most builds

[mystic sphinx]

anyone ever do shock mace sciers with the electrify on heavy node from smite?

[jovial juniper]

Bring a Vraks5 for monstrosities and you'll be set

Oh and don't forget Enfeeble

[zealous wing]

ah yes, enfeeble, surely smite will be helpful then

surely not still hated with a violent passion

[pale prairie]

Well he hasn’t said “ MY” builds so imminent tyranny is delayed

[pale prairie]

I love it on melee but yeah I am still on the fence for its usefulness on staff

[pale prairie]

I thought 17 stamina was better

[pale prairie]

This is the way

[strong gulch]

#psyker-class message

[pale prairie]

Damn gutsy to use it on staff. I just use it to get a warp slice off

[strong gulch]

I edge too hard to use JaD.

[pale prairie]

It is still insane the amount of tankiness psyker can have now haha

[strong gulch]

Ye.

It's quite silly. No longer the glass cannon.

(unless I play because what is dodge)

[pale prairie]

Remember that mutie grab? If only there was a way to dodge

[zinc phoenix]

Players before the game is started “I will never stop dodge sliding so I can win the race”
Players after the game starts: “I never dodge slide”

More VT2 fun 📠 : the crafting system is so ass it is unreal

It’s legit like the og Darktide crafting system

[jovial juniper]

Yes I will still Madge about the time I got 3 red bows in a row for huntsman

[white sky]

Its preferable to the OG crafting but it isn't much better

At least you can reroll both perks on a weapon lol

Even if it's forced and you'll roll the same trinket 600 times trying to get 20% health and 30% BCR

[zinc phoenix]

Christ the weapon locks 😂

[white sky]

Yeah like

At least you don't have to roll the entire weapon again cause of a lock

Tbh the most fucked up part of vt2 crafting for me is the time waster animations

[zinc phoenix]

“Proceeds to open crates for 80 hours”

[pale prairie]

How about that weapon drop system with no rotating store?

[white sky]

Even the animations for rerolling traits and perks, they have to have a whole ass animation for it where the skull icon locks in on your weapon

[zinc phoenix]

Basically everything about vt2’s item system is terrible

I like the melee tho

[pale prairie]

I have never been more frustrated by chest rolling than VT2

[white sky]

I just make the weapons i want in crafting tbh

I do not bother with the chests until I need shit to destroy for resources

[radiant frigate]

vt2 gear is not so bad when you got reds

and if you don't have reds you don't need perfection anyway

[white sky]

I still have to reroll shit on reds decent often iirc

[radiant frigate]

yeah but when your red is done it's done

perfect weapon gg

[strong gulch]

Rolling for gear in genshin said, "Hold my beer."

I would even play something like Genshin or whatever while I am waiting somewhere or on a train, but I really can't be bothered with the open world stuff, I just want a turn based gacha game that's f2p friendly and doesn't make me run around on a huge map

it is just a chainsaw

I shall try it and see, right now

[strong gulch]

It could be another name.

[pale prairie]

that’s….what an evisc is……

[late yew]

no, it is 2-handed chainsword

[strong gulch]

It think it was a hoyoverse title that came out within the last couple years.

[pale prairie]

Chain saw

[radiant frigate]

yes and it is two handed

[late yew]

Chainsword and chainsaws are different things

[marble crater]

I'm taking the train tomorrow and probably need to wait in the doctor's office too, perfect time to start a gacha game

[radiant frigate]

which i guess is why it is not a secondary

since those need to be usable 1h

[pale prairie]

Nah it needs to be a secondary. Only way to justify meme melee

Force Greatsword and now also Voidstrike Staff.

[pine nova]

is it just me or has the quality of randoms gone way the fuck down

im playing smite psyker
we play hi int auric
wipe
the marty evis zealot says cc < dmg
he has 400 less kills and 300k less damage than me and fully died twice

and he was by far the second best performing player

[patent jacinth]

You see the problem started before you even queued

You're playing smyker

[wise nymph]

I cannot partake in this conversation, as I am relatively shite.

I have yet to touch Auric.

I get some games in where I pop off and hard carry, but I should get the shake of QoL mods so that I can actually gauge my performance match by match.

[dull scroll]

I should make a video playing smyker one of these days touting its virtues 😏

[wise nymph]

I just find Assail to be very very fun.

[pine nova]

it's brainless if you can position yourself and have any teammates to kill the big boys

literally easy mode for the game

[patent jacinth]

Thats why its lame as hell

I like to play my action games

[wise nymph]

I have a Voidstrike Staff. I can one-shot Crushers.

[dull scroll]

only up to a certain point, that thing is literally the darkside of the force - giving newbies more power than they could overwise muster while crippling experienced players

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[pine nova]

okay up til havoc it's easy mode

including auric, where I was

[wise nymph]

I quickswap between my Force Greatsword and my Assail so that I constantly build up Peril and get Warp Attacks in so that they buff melee.

I barely use it at super long range unless my entire team is so bloodthirsty that I don't really get to do much in melee.

It is a very fun playstyle. Very fast paced.

[pine nova]

yeah it's fun

[wise nymph]

I do not really see this playstyle being viable with a different Blitz.

I try to find a playstyle I enjoy and then optimise it to the extent that I can be as useful to my team as possible without sacrificing my own style.

[pine nova]

being able to sit at 100% peril for so long feels great

[wise nymph]

Myes.

Stacking a bunch of ability regen means I can basically be at 100% Peril for entire fights.

[pine nova]

no I mean with gaze

[wise nymph]

Yes.

Scrier's Gaze is the ability.

So you get extra duration towards the end where 100% Peril doesn't blow you up and then you get enough ability regen to pop it again as soon as that wears off.

[pine nova]

oh, yeah we're talking bout the same thing

if there's enough elites you can chain it infinitely

which there is in hi int auric and up

[wise nymph]

I did some Maelstrom missions with a bunch of modifiers.

That was very very fun.

The randoms were competent and friendly and I was able to fight enough elites.

[wind spruce]

Mission taking place outside the hive wooh!

[cosmic spruce]

question for shredderauto pistol what blessing and perks should i use on psyker

[wind spruce]

Pinning fire, blaze away and (as a runner up) the crit blessing are the best. Then flak and unyielding for perks (maniac is unnecessary imo)

[spice oar]

FYI if you stack psykers movement talents and sprint efficiency you get a very fun playstyle

since you can fire it while sprinting

[cosmic spruce]

in lore do psykers even carry guns?

[quiet inlet]

there are diffrent levels to psykers. Many inquisitors are psychically active, as an example. They would almost certainly carry a gun

[strong gulch]

I love him.

[deft stump]

Bistol legit for some psykers.

[quiet inlet]

in the 41st millenium, pretty sure bistol is legit universally!

[deft stump]

Stole from ded commissars?

[royal totem]

Karien no like comissars

[quiet inlet]

and the reeeally big ones too

[strong gulch]

@tulip kettle It's your brother.

[deft stump]

If you know my vet lore, her cap is stolen off her old squad's useless commissar when he was suspected of heresy, think Nurgle's plague. Outfit was fucking an inquisitor asking to disappear. In the nemo way.

As in, become a nameless nobody.

[royal totem]

I...see 😮

[deft stump]

What? I told you I RP.

That's the summarised version of it.

[royal totem]

Ive never thought of giving rehects lore

[deft stump]

She just pretends to be a Commissar as a joke, though likely better than a real one if you are easily motivated by fresh food.

[royal totem]

Fair enough

Im sure there isnt too much fresh food on Atoma

[deft stump]

Naw, joke is she "smuggles" them from a Slaaneshi "pleasure" ship, the joke being it's a bunch of obsessed farmers trying to grow the best crops and she gets all the rejected ones to hand out or sell.

Which is most of it. All they chase is the perfect crop.

[royal totem]

Interesting 😮

Is ur vet a loose canon?

[deft stump]

Yes.

I'm a literal loose cannon if you heard me call out specials.

[austere warren]

Head canons are fun and the game makes plenty of room for it tbh.

[deft stump]

Bitch, farter, boomer, dog, (green)flamey thing, bad fire, I hear an unholy thing!

She wants to steal Dukane's hat.

How else do I write my smut, hrm?

[royal totem]

undeniable proof

[royal totem]

dunno. writing smut is def a skill

[quaint lark]

Where is the proof?~

I do write also

[deft stump]

I mostly RP nowadays.

[quaint lark]

For here is a sample of it

[deft stump]

I'm too lazy. How much I write depends on mood as well.

[quaint lark]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-handshake-meme-my-man-warhammer-gif-1789335409913780266

[deft stump]

And is usually figure out a concept, then flesh it out as I world build.

[quaint lark]

Samish but I perfer writing as it clears my mind and I allow someone else to take over

Yea its like theres needs to be a block to be built on

[deft stump]

Next idea will just be Vileblood x Beastborn.

[quaint lark]

Hmm intresting

[deft stump]

By that, I mean a child somehow born from a beast.

[quaint lark]

I wanna write something about him, smut wise but dont know what yet

[deft stump]

I only write yuri though.

Unless bribed enough, I guess.

And you like CBT.

Or at least, hard femdom.

Omg people would joke about it all the time in SCP/SL...now most of us are into it lol

Pretty sure there's no Zealot mains here.

[quaint lark]

Explain war crimes? And there has been worse posted there

[tawdry heath]

It absolutely is boss

[ripe obsidian]

Zealot mains in spirit, if nothing else.

[quaint lark]

Also I mained Zealot some for a while

Now I Main psyker

[deft stump]

I'm the weird vet main who plays arby to no think.

[quaint lark]

I first mained vet then was like Zealot is horny and FOR THE GOD EMPEROR

[deft stump]

It's funny when you play arby like a vet.

[quaint lark]

Now I like psyker

Ogryn is nice but not my thing

[deft stump]

And people question how you take like 2 damage.

[quaint lark]

Yea yea, im a squishy mofo

I get looked at to hard and im downed

[autumn smelt]

psyker isnt squishy

[deft stump]

I mean, I can auric zealot at 300 ping and take 2-14 damage.

[distant roost]

Ain’t no way BDSM chat in psyker chat

[deft stump]

The 2 damage was teammate hitting me with a barrel.

I think.

[quaint lark]

Aruic is nice and chill with my psyker, when theres not alot of xenos around I just shoot and melee but if theres a horde covering the entire screen its Smyker time lol

Cos feeling jealousy at what my char has and can do.

[royal totem]

some day words flow like water

[deft stump]

If you know who I RP with, they'll say I'm like that.

1 word to like... I have Nitro is the only reason I can post it in one go.

[frosty relic]

Which force greatsword mark do you all prefer?

[patent jacinth]

The good looking one

[frosty relic]

I’ve been using the mk8 because I like the animations better but the 6’s heavies seem to do significantly more damage

I use a skin for it lol

[patent jacinth]

mk6

There we go

[deft stump]

Mk6 is better slightly.

[frosty relic]

The lights on the 6 feel funky for cleaving, and the second heavy that stabs has some funky delay

Like the animation begins and the attack doesn’t go out for a second. I’m sure its just a matter of familiarity

[autumn smelt]

mk6

better moveset overall

has a nicer rhythm to it in addition to allowing for combo switches much better

@worn heron you fucked it up

[frosty relic]

I’m sure after playing with it for a bit i’ll get used to it, when I began using the mk8 the slightly off-horizontal slashes fucked me up but I began to appreciate it lol

[deft stump]

Is this some Zealot mains thing?

[frosty relic]

First time playing melee psyker since bound by duty, having tons of fun

[autumn smelt]

no cica just hates me

after a push (not push attack) comes a unique light which is perfect for resetting horde combo, esp since what follows it is the diagonal heavy

and after the force slash is the heavy stab

[worn heron]

Our tags r enemies 2 lovers

[patent jacinth]

The stab is also in the heavy loop

[patent jacinth]

and not PA exclusive

[autumn smelt]

what

[deft stump]

Oh. Okay. Was just wondering.

[autumn smelt]

yup

the only difference is that it does a little less damage than the push attack stab
but it results in higher overall damage cuz of how easy it is to reach and how fast it is to reach

and dont need to spend stam and potentially peril

[strong gulch]

@quiet inlet

[autumn smelt]

what is that scoreboard lmfao

[strong gulch]

yes

[zealous wing]

only the most important things

except

[deft stump]

[strong gulch]

that's shots blovked

Scoreboard is 4 gloatin and stylin on ur enemiez

[strong gulch]

[deft stump]

You mean, companion damage, so you know how much good puppo did.

[worn heron]

Uh i mean

Teammatez

[autumn smelt]

which is also an important stat

which should be as high as possible

[zealous wing]

how many more treats to give my puppers

[deft stump]

I think that means I guessed right?

[deft stump]

I can tell.

[solemn atlas]

Is there a reason to take VS over SG while using crystalline will and DD?

[royal totem]

scoreboard is to compare how good you are at exploding barrels vs your enemies

[zealous wing]

are you a staff user or a gun/meleeker

[royal totem]

i used FGS again today

[solemn atlas]

Melee gs 25% warp res

[quiet inlet]

I'm starting the term "fyker"

[deft stump]

Yep. Exactly. Only puppo damage matters, they all good.

[zealous wing]

.. whats your OTHER weapon?

[strong gulch]

https://discord.gg/kyjyGcgC

[solemn atlas]

I haven't yet figured it out however im thinking of soul blaze so probably purg

[deft stump]

You will be slow though.

[autumn smelt]

you should probably know what playstyle youre going for before you start going this far in buildcrafting

like are you going to use staves a lot?

are you gonna melee a lot? shoot a lot?

[frosty relic]

I’ve been running bistol and force gs with assail and disrupt destiny

[autumn smelt]

purgatus might not be the best to pair with DD

[royal totem]

there's no psyker weapon with a lot of stabs that i can infinitely just loop stabs right?

[autumn smelt]

it cant even take advantage of 2/3rds of its damage bonuses

[frosty relic]

dueling sword

[solemn atlas]

This is fun build for auric
Just thinking if this idea im having is worth it

[autumn smelt]

a for fun build in auric would be anything but purg then imo lmao

like thats the furthest option

[white sky]

Drink the cool psyker juice, run FGS

[deft stump]

Deimos or ds4. Former needs to l1 h2 some kind of cancel l1 h2.

[solemn atlas]

Im also using warp rupture instead of creeping flames because I wanna try something different

[royal totem]

lots of people enjoy purg

[royal totem]

what type of cancel though

[autumn smelt]

lots of people enjoy watching paint dry too

[cold ivy]

i think deimos l1 h2 can be looped infinitely without cancelling, but could be wrong

[royal totem]

i mean i like setting things on fire

so purgatus is fun for me

[autumn smelt]

any kind of cancel
swap cancel
block cancel

[royal totem]

i get to play a maniac that flames everythinggggg

[solemn atlas]

Melee more with bfsg

[autumn smelt]

you could do laspistol for the mobility, reaper damage, boss damage, and basically get out of ranged jail free card with EE

thats what i use with it

you could also do a trauma staff as a backup "OH FUCK" stagger to make some space

[royal totem]

could do electro staff

[autumn smelt]

theres a decent couple of people who use shredder autopistol here for the suppression, crit chance for EE, rager damage, and on command toughness

[solemn atlas]

Now for my fgs im trying to get soul blaze working to have warp rupture work more so is it still worth having my fgs keep unstable power or replace it for crit to have more soulblazd stacks?

[autumn smelt]

im trying to get soul blaze working to have warp rupture work more
what?

[deft stump]

The next light or heavy isn't a poke from memory.

[solemn atlas]

Im not getting enough soul blaze out with kills special and wildfire and im trying to squeeze out as much as I can without using creeping flames because I remember a bit ago people were saying perilous combustion actually overstacks

[cold ivy]

oh you're right i think it's l1 h2 then l3 h2 forever, and l3 might be a slash

[royal totem]

how do i block cancel?

[autumn smelt]

you block

congrats, your combo has reset

[deft stump]

Tap left trigger.

Tap lmb hold lmb tap rmb tap lmb hold lmb.

I think that's the mouse thing, right?

[solemn atlas]

Im also using souldrinker for the bit of crit

[autumn smelt]

perilous combustion doesnt have a cap on soulblaze up to the hard cap yeah, same with creeping flames
wildfire honestly is less about getting high stacks of soulblaze, and more about proccing talents that need it, like the toughness one and warp charge one, because it has a hard cap of 4 which is very low
and blazing spirit has a hard cap of 6, but most things you crit with melee are either dead or about to die anyway, so the only value you get out of that is wildfire, which again, isnt doing much in the damage or stack department

almost all of your heavy lifting is perilous combustion against elite multikills

[royal totem]

@deft stump i'm having a problem where if i don't hold block for a sec it doesn't seem to cancel?

[deft stump]

You just need to have it move and go to neutral from what I know.

[royal totem]

huh.........

move and go to neutral?

srry i don't quite follow >.>

[livid steppe]

Fellow Psykers does anyone know if the crystalline will explosion makes synergy with the penetration of the soul?

[solemn atlas]

I dont think so because if I am correct it doesnt use warp riders damage

[livid steppe]

ah kk ty

[solemn atlas]

Should absolutely have free synergies with those 2 talents

I wanna drive people crazy with a build like that

I technically already have 1 but its a neat wasted havoc 40 build but I want it to be more usable

Without using extra wound

[ripe obsidian]

You turn your back on the holy flames

You sicken me.

[ripe obsidian]

"Psyker's self-explosion can stagger all enemies except for Crusher, Mutants, monstrosities, Twins (Captains only without void shield) and deals the same base damage against all armor types; explosion damage decreases from epicenter to max radius and can be increased by 'brittleness' on the target, by Combat Stimm, by the weapon blessing Skullcrusher (while staggered), by damage buffs from Psyker's Disrupt Destiny, Malefic Momentum (regular damage buff), Perfect Timing, Scrier's Gaze, Vulnerable Minds (against ogryns and monstrosities), Warp Rider, Warp Siphon, and by damage taken debuffs from Arbitrator's Nuncio-Aquila, Ogryn's Soften Them Up, Valuable Destruction, Pickaxes (weapon special), from Psyker's Enfeeble (if applied by another Psyker), Warp Rupture, and from Veteran's Focus Target."

[verbal thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-to-be-gif-25791802

[ripe obsidian]

And for PotS:

"'Warp attack' refers to a list of attacks that have their damage types denoted as warp_damage_types: Force Swords' activated attacks, Force Greatswords' activated attacks, Force Staves' LMB, Force Staves' RMB, electrocution (Smite, Electrokinetic Staff RMB, Shock Maul special action), Soulblaze, Brain Rupture / Brain Burst, and Assail."

[livid steppe]

Phew lots I didn't know, so will it be a good idea to use flame staff to put brittleness then explode?

[verbal thistle]

good is stretching it, but it'd be funny

[ripe obsidian]

I don't typically prefer brittleness on the fire stick, but it would technically boost damage

[strong gulch]

@verbal thistle Which bell for hard mode?

[verbal thistle]

right

damn or auric will have both bells

I can't remember barrel event. Was it just extra boom cylinders?

Imagine how Fetty Wap felt when Cardi B dropped WAP

[strong gulch]

I think it was extra barrels, bursters, and shotgunners dropped mines and all of the booms were bigger.

[wind spruce]

Hot damn

I need that

[strong gulch]

was chaotic and fun

[zealous wing]

it got me curious about burster physics so, i mean, provided you aim correctly, and would survive, you could probably get some interesting places if given enough testing time, probably in solo, figure out what has collision and what doesnt, and it'd take far fewer bursters to get decent velocity

(you cant get back down easy btw because not everywhere has collision. its weird)

theres also invisible walls around the main area that you have to get over if you wanna get anywhere interesting in here

[strong gulch]

yeee lmao

[zealous wing]

(theres also no kill box)

have to leave psykanium to unvoid

[wise nymph]

I posted some things in the build thread recently.

I would appreciate it if somebody could give me some thoughts or feedback.

[zealous wing]

didnt even know there was a thread people used

we usually just exist here lol

empowered psionics on any tree is mostly just for the memes

mind in motion is also a bit of a dud node, since you can slide quell and slide reload most weaponry for better mobility anyway

im a strong enjoyer of warp speed though, and if you line up mettle, SG warp speed, and Disrupt Destiny, you can be unreasonably fast

i wonder if i have an example clip saved i could edit and show

[strong gulch]

Apparently laspistol has a speed buff when you hipfire it. It doesn't last long, but you could take that for more shpeed.

I have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2. The NPCs are absurdly hostile all the time.

In this case, a man sassed me in a saloon. I turned around and pressed the sass button right back. Sarcastically called him a tough guy or something. He immediately draws his gun in a crowded saloon and starts shooting. I didn't want to get a bounty, so I just tackled him and tied him up. At this point, the entire town came rushing into the building with their own pistols drawn. I figured I was about to shoot my way out, but they ran past me, surrounded the guy on the floor, and just unloaded.

The sheriff got the final shot off while shouting, "A reward for the man who brings me his head!"

[zealous wing]

@wise nymph just to make sure you see this, because we dont really use the thread, ever

and i did respond just, not in the thread

[strong gulch]

WAT lmao

[zealous wing]

couldnt find a saved clip of ludicrous speed but i did find this kill feed

[strong gulch]

Yeah. No one really goes there. On paper seems like a good idea, but discussing mechanics and other things often go hand in hand with builds.

[hollow crescent]

finally getting the hang of the inferno staff even if im not perfect

thank you chat

y'all highkey goated i fw it heavy

[ripe obsidian]

Burn the world

[ripe obsidian]

I did laugh aloud.

[long saddle]

spotted

[wise nymph]

That does sound very cool, though I'm not sure if something else would be better.

Being fast obviously helps me engage in melee faster and helps me get the fuck out if I need to.

[wise nymph]

I almost never use the main fire on my staff due to having Assail as a crutch.

The charge up is devious on Ogryns and Bosses, but it does require me to not be their main target.

Common for Ogryn. Rare for Bosses.

Nurgle has it out for me. Me personally.

[wind spruce]

Love chilling with my statue bois

[wise nymph]

Assail is very fun to me, so I like getting free Assail when I needle an enemy elite. Otherwise, Empowered Psyonics does absolutely nothing.

[zealous wing]

you can either have a stave, or do good boss damage (gun), not really both

inferno is a weird sometimes exception because inferno things

[wise nymph]

Since the thread goes unused, here is the build with two points to spare.

[wise nymph]

I one-shot Crushers

I think my stave does reasonably good boss damage.

[wise nymph]

I know Crushers aren't bosses, but you (hopefully) get what I'm saying.

[zealous wing]

crushers are also best left to inferno, or melee, for better TTK

voidblast too i suppose if rending

[wise nymph]

I mainly have the stave so I can build up Peril when Assail runs out, as a tool to hit bosses, and sometimes as a ranged flex pick for bashing through clumps of tougher enemies.

[zealous wing]

what melee do you have

[wise nymph]

Force Greatsword.

[zealous wing]

just use the special then

its a GREAT crusher killer, and it can do good boss dmg too

[wise nymph]

I have been using that extremely sparingly, only really using it to hit hordes when those bars fill up.

Should I just use it like a more conventional force sword / power sword?

[zealous wing]

what staff again

[wise nymph]

Voidstrike.

Crit at high peril and double blast on crit.

[zealous wing]

oh you poor soul use your FGS

[wise nymph]

[zealous wing]

if you like the LMB part of voidstrike genuinely try the surge surge build out for experimental purposes when you can

thats the build im using in the clip i posted a little short bit ago

as much as it sucks, voidstrike is crazy fun to use but really not great functionally past certain threshholds, and is 100% the worst stave of the 4

you can of course have your fun just, be aware is all

electrokinetic will be there waiting with open arms for higher difficulties

[wise nymph]

I am willing to use any staff with this build that isn't Inferno.

Since I explicitly don't really want fire in general or soulblaze.

[zealous wing]

valid, makes you a good pairing with an inferno psyker to be 100% clear

like, perfection

[wise nymph]

This is the build of always having a migraine and swinging a big sword at the enemy.

I love the Force Greatsword moveset so much.

It's unreal. It's magical.

[zealous wing]

oh right

heres the REAL question

which mark

[wise nymph]

The one where the heavy is a downward cut and then a thrust.

[zealous wing]

beautiful

[wise nymph]

I think it's the Mark III, but I'm horrible with the names.

[zealous wing]

that would be 6

[wise nymph]

Swords that can't stab are distasteful to me.

I can read the numbers, I just can't remember them

[zealous wing]

the other mark CAN stab but it really sucks to access

[wise nymph]

I see.

[zealous wing]

6 has gold base 8 has silver base

[wise nymph]

I also prefer the aesthetics of not having a tube in the front.

[zealous wing]

FGS my beloved

[wise nymph]

I see you blocking in the beginning and then not blocking at all once the attacks start going.

[wise nymph]

This validates my "playstyle" (I don't know how to block).

[zealous wing]

i was block cancelling

[wise nymph]

Myes.

[zealous wing]

thats a tutorial clip^

[wise nymph]

I rarely see a reason to block when I can dodge, but I also do not understand how blocking actually works or what I can and can't block.

[wise nymph]

What does block cancelling do here, specifically?

[zealous wing]

you can block anything but bullets or crusher overheads, and if you have deflector, you can block bullets, and if you have kinetic deflection you can block for a REALLy long time

[zealous wing]

resets the attack pattern

[wise nymph]

I am not quite good enough to really work with combos in a particular technical manner, which is why I gravitate towards weapons that feel instinctive to me.

[zealous wing]

so i skip the singletarget strike for horde clearing

[wise nymph]

I see.

[zealous wing]

and, i run deflector, so blocking sometimes will also just catch a shotgun blast at the perfect timing, feelsgood

[wise nymph]

I wouldn't remember that the light chain has a single target strike, but I do recall now that you mention it.

[zealous wing]

theres a flowchart somewhere

found it

this is definitely less technical than it looks

but if you hold block for a mere moment between any light attack 1 2 3, it will reset to 1 on your next swing

light attack one then heavy attack will always give you the stab as that heavy attack

thats basically all you need to then begin learning the other patterns naturally

i find it lets me move around a horde easier than if i were to only swing lights with no block, or only do L1 L2 block repeat

plus the heavy will absolutely deal with crushers

[wise nymph]

Myes. I really should make use of that.

[wise nymph]

I pray that the shark people give me a Rapier or a Spear for Psyker.

[dull scroll]

there is a rapier, it's called the ds4 😏

[zealous wing]

i was gonna say isnt that just a dueling sword

[wind spruce]

I know every single attack chain on the mk 6 instinctively but this still absolutely cooks my brain to look at

[zealous wing]

spear would be sick tho

or glaive

[wise nymph]

I want the elf spear from Vermintide 2 on Psyker.

[zealous wing]

FGS is such a weird weapon for me

but not a bad weird

most other weapons i have to fight to get back in the flow, FGS genuinely is instinct at this point

[dull scroll]

honestly the attack patterns, especially on mk6, is whatever, because thing is at best mid at clearing
it's the warp slice that is the real juicer at cutting down hordes

[zealous wing]

same with assail, instinct

[wise nymph]

I have not gotten my Zealot high enough to get the Relic Blade, so I can't quite say for certain whether the Force Greatsword is my true favourite melee weapon.

Currently, it is undisputed.

[wise nymph]

It became instinct very fast.

[wind spruce]

It's beautifully designed

[wise nymph]

The swing pattern feels intuitive and the heavies have a good rhythm.

I also just love the animations as a massive sword nerd.

[zealous wing]

and they dont feel shitty like mk8 does

[wind spruce]

The heavy stab is gated just the right amount

[zealous wing]

i accidentally brought mk8 to a match and it sucked. i can work with it but theres no great gameplay from me happening because, mk8 is just so painfully gross to see

distractingly so

[wind spruce]

It's hot garbage

It throws me off so much when I make that mistake

[wise nymph]

The Psyker uses it like an actual longsword. You even have bits where it is held somewhat loose and then gripped when momentum is generated.

[zealous wing]

FGS mk6 is like Deimos. was CLEARLY shown serious animation love

[wise nymph]

It's a very flowy and realistic fighting style for a weapon that looks so heavy.

[wind spruce]

Knowing the attack patterns isn't about hordes

[wise nymph]

Deimos?

[zealous wing]

a force sword mark

[wise nymph]

There is one force sword mark I remember having insanely beautiful animations, but I don't have my force sword leveled up enough to actually know the animations for each of them.

[dull scroll]

then what is it about

[zealous wing]

was it very very stabby?

[zealous wing]

utility, availability

[wind spruce]

People think they want to know when the single target light is coming to avoid it but true endgame is utilising it

[zealous wing]

can it clear hordes? yes. can it take out crushers? yes. can it kill bosses? yes. can it bring you happiness? yes

[wise nymph]

I really hope we get a sword with some of the master cuts.

[wise nymph]

I think so.

[dull scroll]

see, these are vague ass words

[long saddle]

one mission later, still standing

[zealous wing]

oh LMAO hi

[dull scroll]

people care about move sets for 1 reason, if it's good for horde or good for single target

[zealous wing]

ye im here yapping and deciding how badly i want to learn HS

[dull scroll]

and not using the one for the wrong target

[wraith sphinx]

He is pondering only the finest wares

[zealous wing]

not very so its a "convincing myself"

[wraith sphinx]

Heavy sword?

[zealous wing]

yeah

[weary idol]

suuuper not worth it on psyker

[wind spruce]

People are basic

[long saddle]

I just ran it with vet

[wraith sphinx]

Pretty underwhelming if you ask me

[zealous wing]

one of the few weapons psyker can use i havent learned at all

[long saddle]

was fun, tho I had kraks

[weary idol]

zealot and veteran bot hhave ways to deal with its terrible carapace damage

psyker doesn't

[zealous wing]

oh i dont doubt that, i know HS sucks ass

[weary idol]

it doesn't

it sucks ass on psyker

[zealous wing]

it does

[wraith sphinx]

It's just heavy attack spam but even that is subpar without gaze

[long saddle]

I've run it on zealot before and it's v fun

[dull scroll]

"utilising it", for what, like elaborate in detail

[long saddle]

vet has no stun immunity sadly

[weary idol]

Executioner's Stance

[long saddle]

or at least reliable

[zealous wing]

elite or specialist in the horde, duh

[long saddle]

true

[dull scroll]

so single target, gotcha

[zealous wing]

...

yeah thats the light he's talking about, no?

[wise nymph]

I also kind of want to use it.

Not sure whether on Psyker or elsewhere.

[zealous wing]

the single target one most people avoid most of the time, but it too has its use

[wise nymph]

It is not very useful, but it's kinda cool.

[wind spruce]

It's actually really fun to use. Use the mark IX with thrust and enjoy the lawnmowing. Just dont forgot KR BR lmao

[zealous wing]

this psyker is lvl 9 sir

[weary idol]

thrust is kinda bad on heavy sword

just opportunity cost wise

because you either lose deathblow

or Heavy Sword's randomly better headtaker

that gives twice as much strength as it does on other weapons for some reason

[wise nymph]

I care about movesets if they feel fun or intuitive.

[wind spruce]

Fair I just copied telopots and this was before buffs

https://youtu.be/2z40nwBW8_U?si=mT-GyGGcw--BrSDL

[zealous wing]

my options on weapons to mess with on this psyker that i havent used are very limited

[weary idol]

man this build's the kinda shit I expect to see on games lantern

[zealous wing]

its heavy sword, caxe, shock maul

[weary idol]

what the fuck are any of the decisions being made here
