psyker-class

[wind spruce]

It's irrelevant when you're a God like telo was

[dull scroll]

In another word you care if you can spam for all horizon horde clear or vertical single target and not have to switch around all the time to get consistent moves

[zealous wing]

those are my three melee's if i want something i havent used, skipping all dumbass chain weapons because i dont care for the noises they make

well no i do care and i hate them

beyond hate, but thats a rant for not again

[wise nymph]

Talking about builds.

@zealous wing
What should I switch out Empowered Psionics for? It gives me 2-3 extra points to spend, so it may be worth it.

[wind spruce]

I asked him about certain choices once and he basically said he hadn't cared enough to look at his talents for about 4 months

[wraith sphinx]

PREACH

[zealous wing]

if you are on scriers, and stick with surge surge / void strike, disrupt destiny

[wraith sphinx]

'Uweeh what are these talent picks' WHO CARES IF YOU KILL EM ALL

[wise nymph]

I am fine using a suboptimal moveset for horde clear or single target damage if it feels good to use.

That is what I am saying.

Don't use the axe on Psyker. Use the shock maul and do a cool lightning build.

[zealous wing]

it also does depend on what difficulty you mainly run. if aurics HI, or havocs, then warp siphon also good for surge surge

[weary idol]

because dumb talent choices carried by mechanical skill is why people worship Tanner and Mr. E

who then spread their dumb talent choices as gospel

[zealous wing]

nah that sounds like it involves smite so uh no thanks, fuck that

[dull scroll]

then you are a for fun game player, which is fine
but at that stage there's no point saying anything lol

[wise nymph]

What is surge surge again?

[weary idol]

surge staff with surge blessing clearly

[zealous wing]

electro kinetic LMB spam build

[weary idol]

it hasn't been called that in a very long time

[wise nymph]

I am going to experiment with switching out the Voidstrike for another staff.

[wraith sphinx]

It's only gospel if you treat it as such

[wind spruce]

Was tanner even ever that off base with psyker

[wraith sphinx]

Like yes I understand players can't think for themselves and parrot whatever their fave youtuber says but that's frankly not my problem

[wind spruce]

Oh wait the whole rending thing

[wise nymph]

This is why I really don't put too much worth into Mr. E builds or videos in general. The build I currently have is largely stolen from him, though he stole it from a different creator first. I certainly play it differently than he does and have a few changes. A lot of the choices there were... confusing.

[dull scroll]

holdup, I haven't watched their gameplays, do those two actually have top tier mechanical skills?

[weary idol]

no not really

[dull scroll]

lol

[weary idol]

but enough to make their shit builds work

which is more than any of the people watching them will have

[wind spruce]

Mr E's psyker takes in particular are so goddamn awful it's breathtaking

[zealous wing]

surge surge really works if you take the full build, so genuinely, this is what i run on surge surge with a staff like this, if you feel like doing so give it a try, i use a knife for mobility but you can take FGS for some extra horde clear, tho knife and assail is good enough when theres a flame psyker around

you can technically swap ethereal shards and warp speed for something else, but, no warp splitting so assail dont go far on their own

[wise nymph]

To reiterate the purpose of my current build/playstyle:

I want to stay at high Peril, using mostly my Force Greatsword and Assail to fight. I want to lean as far into that playstyle as possible, so I want to stack buffs to high Peril and mostly focus on melee damage.

[zealous wing]

this works surprisingly well in h40 btw

[wraith sphinx]

Calls gun psyker questionable and underwhelming despite recent buffs
Looks inside
Just a bubble build with a gun

[wise nymph]

I have those exact blessings on my Voidstrike. Very fun blessings all around.

[zealous wing]

psyker is all about high peril you could also vibe with a meleeker build, i dont have one tho i run gunker, which is almost the same thing but a few different nodes from meleeker

[wind spruce]

This build should 100% have pots

[wraith sphinx]

What was that again, was he a rending hater?

[wise nymph]

He also made a video on Vermintide 2 recently, talking about how Darktide isn't properly challenging and the melee isn't as much of a priority.

I'm not going to lie.

Trying to find normal gameplay of Vermintide 2 is borderline impossible.

[zealous wing]

no

pots belongs on rending VB and thats really it

[wise nymph]

I see people twisting their wrists and licking their elbows so that they can continually spam the same two attacks over and over again and never have to use any other kind of hit.

It looks miserable.

[wind spruce]

What are you killing crushers with? It's not your melee, obviously, or you'd have melee attack speed

[zealous wing]

LMAO what melee not a priority... has bro played past malice?

hell i see people trying to get through malice with only their gun and they still suffer

[zealous wing]

knife, or teammates can take them. knife works fine tho

and surge surge does kill, not fast, but not super slow either

[wise nymph]

Melee combat in Darktide feels awesome. The buildcrafting is majestic and allows for a lot of diversity in playstyle. The weapon blessings and buffs are really creative and amplify that diversity.

[zealous wing]

why waste 2 points for something thats meh at best instead of putting them on 2 things that work

[wind spruce]

You're two points from it with a bunch of unnecessary filler

It's a no brainer

[wise nymph]

This game is super fucking sick and I will not stand for slander from people who play like they have integrated their mouse into their prefrontal cortex.

[zealous wing]

"unnecessary filler"

[wind spruce]

That or pick up perilous like every single build should without exception

[zealous wing]

exception, inferno on another psyker

soul blaze ownership is very important, ESPECIALLY if youre going through a rot havoc

[wind spruce]

You're not meleeing anything, you don't need warp speed AND mettle. You have quick shards and IF.

[wind spruce]

Only if they are applying brittleness

[zealous wing]

IF because always at 100%, quick shards because i like it, mettle because i like the speed, warp speed because i like the speed. if i didnt like the speed, i wouldnt be running a knife

it works in h40 so why are you whining to me about my own fun

[wind spruce]

Whining? Tf. It's just a discussion

[zealous wing]

youre telling me what i should and should not have, for a talent thats shit, felt like whining to me

[wind spruce]

And yeah he used to talk about uncanny being bad

[zealous wing]

pots is good on rending builds, otherwise its pretty lost

[wind spruce]

Yes, my opinion is that you should. That's how opinions work.

[oak echo]

Is Mr. E literally the only content creator with early access to the class?

[zealous wing]

thats fucking rough to hear if so

[wind spruce]

It's a build overly committed into LMB and is only two points away, might aswell take the damage upgrade that pots gives to 90% of your targets

[wise nymph]

Nope.

[wind spruce]

Definitely not

[wise nymph]

Ripthejack3r got early access too, but I have never seen that man until his takes on the class popped up in my recommended.

I have to say that the build discussion here is a lot more civil than it was for Veteran.

More "this is a bit of a meme, try this instead" and less "that's literal dogshit".

[zealous wing]

smite is literal dogshit btw we do get rabid over permasmyker defenders

just fair warning

if you're here when they come in do be prepared to see a lil carnage

[wind spruce]

We tend to like debating the nuances of builds and justifying choices

Something about the brains of those drawn to psyker as their main

[zealous wing]

i just like being faster than the zealot

[wind spruce]

Fast is fun

Can't deny

[oak echo]

I don't think I've seen any other hive scum previews other than Mister E

[zealous wing]

i think a psyker on mettle, DD, SG WS, knife, (bonus if celerity too), is the fastest thing in the game besides rinda

[oak echo]

Please tell me there's an alternative to his slop

[wind spruce]

Not as fast as me when hadron booty calls

[weary idol]

literally just him talking over the twitter stuff fatshark has posted

[wraith sphinx]

mechadendrite call

[wise nymph]

All Veteran players are secretly the Cadian at heart.

[zealous wing]

"yes beloved, i do think all cadians want is a big hug"
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME WITCH"
"yes, and they're in denial as well. poor things"

[wind spruce]

Vets are clever but unintelligent

[wise nymph]

Perhaps. I just like switching between a more "dextrous" melee weapon and rapid fire magic.

That is actually the reason that I want to move away from Voidstrike. It needs to be charged up and doesn't work for the playstyle.

I should realistically be grabbing a gun, but I like that staffs can build up Peril.

[wind spruce]

It's just astrology for gamers bro dw

[zealous wing]

i mean, if all you want is rapid fire surge surge is genuinely the way to go the more i hear

[wraith sphinx]

I just play space wizard because awesome french girl personality

We are not the same

[wise nymph]

Though I don't use the alternate attack of the Force Greatsword, which also builds Peril...

I need to actually try using that. The variant without the wave.

[zealous wing]

at high peril youre constantly gonna be proccing the 2nd primary

[zealous wing]

wdym variant without the wave

the smaller force swords? no Fucking Giant Sword?

if so as much as illisi is good for spamming the special, its not very good otherwise, so take obscurus if you want a mix of single target hits and crowd clearing

[wise nymph]

This is my boy.

[wind spruce]

[wind spruce]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00fe689-1e95-4083-a45c-94431d3ffdea/greased-lightning

[wise nymph]

I mean using the alternate attack without waiting for it to fill up to one or two bars.

[wind spruce]

Swap any melee out, go hard

[wraith sphinx]

nice facemask

[wise nymph]

This is extremely similar to the build I'm already running

Well.

[zealous wing]

ah just firing it, ye that works, you can also switch to the sword, charge it, switch to staff, immediately swap back to sword, charge again, (i think default swap is Q ?) on pc

[wise nymph]

In parts of the talents, anyways.

[wise nymph]

What does that swapping accomplish?

[zealous wing]

the lower you can get the warp resistance, the better, for using it as a peril primer

[zealous wing]

cancels the next attack being a warp slash

faster

[wise nymph]

What are the pros and cons of the Voidsurge and Electrokinetic staffs?

[zealous wing]

voidsurge?

[wise nymph]

Uhhhhhhh

[wraith sphinx]

vs is a bit better at horde cleaing depending on your positioning

but this requires you to lead the horde into a straight column to really be effective

[wise nymph]

Blast. Voidblast.

[wraith sphinx]

oh lol goddamnit

this is just a request but can you please call voidblast trauma

for everyone's sanity

[zealous wing]

voidblast (trauma) has a good hordeclear/barrel igniting option, EK has a stun function, on RMB for both. EK also has better inherent crit built in iirc? rusty on specifics of why EK goated it just is

[wind spruce]

Become truly heretical and do something like this w/transfer peril instead of warp nexus

Infinite scriers

[zealous wing]

infinite scriers is surprisingly easy to hit

[wise nymph]

I already basically get infinite Gaze with my current build.

[wraith sphinx]

I have not dared to try out transfer peril

something deeply faustian about that blessing

[wind spruce]

I mean like infinite 30 stack scriers though

[zealous wing]

ran this rending VB and i was cracking scriers again with 6s still on WU

and that was only h22, didnt have time to do h40 after, since dom went to bed

[wise nymph]

Compelling, but having my Peril drop below 80% scares me.

[zealous wing]

oh important note

[wind spruce]

You don't need warp charges to do that

[wraith sphinx]

it ain't that bad tbh

[wise nymph]

Quieting is so majestic on Gaze.

[zealous wing]

if youre regularly/mainly above 97% peril in combat, dont bother with kinetic flayer unless theres fire involved

[wind spruce]

Scriers has 20s cooldown with seers

[wraith sphinx]

if you can't keep it above 50% then I'd start having concerns

[wind spruce]

Minimum 15s duration unless you're periling and not killing

That's 9s from PA

10s left.

6.66 with PA

So unless you're knuckle dragging scriers can ALWAYS be popped halfway through WU

[wise nymph]

?

I am still missing one point because I am Level 29.

[livid field]

Hello , could I ask for a solid havoc 40 variation of talents utilizing the Telekine shield? ... I made something in a hurry before the actual mission, it worked well but I am sure that some talent points could be swaped

[wise nymph]

I am clinging to Assail because I am a noob and because it is the most fun to hotswap to in the middle of a melee engagement.

[wraith sphinx]

that's more than fair

[zealous wing]

anything specific or just, must have bubble?

[wind spruce]

Build guide is in the pins..has plenty of havoc 40 ready shield builds

[wraith sphinx]

assail is great because of how flexible it is with the exception of engaging crushers

[zealous wing]

bubbleknight is always a safe bet

[livid field]

Bubble specifically

[wind spruce]

I've been saying it's broken since we had to give up PA for it but we're unbelievably still in the KF meta sigh

[zealous wing]

ye check the guide, bubble knight if it doesnt have its own tab in the index would be with gun builds you can also check for a staff you like probably

[wraith sphinx]

You have to understand, aiming is hard 😔

[zealous wing]

aiming assail isnt hard, you can aim after you throw even if you need to correct

[wraith sphinx]

woosh

[candid temple]

you guys aim assail?

[wind spruce]

Legit if KF didn't have an audio queue it wouldn't be at this level of popularity

It just sounds good

[candid temple]

looks cool too, to just touch an enemy and their brain explodes

[zealous wing]

the sound but also the very random "sniper killed" death feed always funny ngl

[livid field]

Alright thank you. On the side note, I saw some "forcing" the blaze sword (Deimos) thrust attack 100% of the time resulting in you hitting the weakspot at all times... is this some kind of a macro command or do you just have to cancel the animation at the right time, I am not really sure?

[wraith sphinx]

jokes aside I think the reasoning is that people just get scared of crushers the most so they deem assail as the 'bad blitz' because it can't do anything to crushers

but that's just a theory

[wind spruce]

I do like warp slicing into the blackness and hearing the pop-pop of barrels + one elite/specials head

[candid temple]

how are people afraid as crusher, just 2 shot them with your big ass fuck off sword.

[zealous wing]

if its happening 100% of the time, its probably a macro for a weapon swap

[dull scroll]

now that KF guarantees proc on any damage one shotting mutants is absolutely blessed 😌

[livid field]

Hmmm, I see... that explains it. Thank you

[candid temple]

I'd prefer KF, but I don't like the extra point cost.

[wind spruce]

Yeah pretty much this.

[wraith sphinx]

brother I can count the amount of randoms I've seen with a fast crusher killer loadout on the fingers of my one hand

[wind spruce]

Doesn't counter ogryns so bad

As if rager packs and specials don't exist

[wise nymph]

Which one is KF again?

[zealous wing]

Kinetic flayer

brain burst node

[wind spruce]

Brain burst sub talent

[wraith sphinx]

which is honestly why the crusher hp buffs surprised me because of how so many ppl I played with consistently struggled with crushers the most

[wise nymph]

Does anyone have a clip?

[wind spruce]

What other choice does fatshark have though

[zealous wing]

i fucking love when im meleeing a horde and suddenly trapper, then suddenly, no more trapper and a little more peril, and a little more horde assist.

[wraith sphinx]

ok hear me out

mega rager enemy that's 2x the size of a normal rager and has 4 hands

[zealous wing]

if you say more ragers or some shit im out

[wise nymph]

I really like fighting Ragers.

[wind spruce]

Especially if your buffs are in crescendo

Just lights them the fuck up

[wise nymph]

I wish I had to deal with more of them.

[wind spruce]

YOU FOOL

That would require introducing new content!

[zealous wing]

careful what you wish for or you may end up like this

[wraith sphinx]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[wise nymph]

I got this.

[zealous wing]

do you do havoc?

[wind spruce]

This better be a rager clown car when it loads

[wraith sphinx]

no its a rager sandwich

that instakills him

[wise nymph]

No, I am mid at best at the game. I absolutely do not got this.

[wind spruce]

Skill issue

[zealous wing]

pink heals their allies at like 1k per second

[wind spruce]

(At game design)

[wise nymph]

I prefer the Scab Ragers.

[wraith sphinx]

JESUS THEYARE ALL PURPLE

[wind spruce]

I like them too they're so cute

[wraith sphinx]

OR PINK WHATEVER

[wind spruce]

And so slow

[livid field]

Does the Penetrating Flames blessing applies to the secondary attack of the staff ( Inferno) ?

[zealous wing]

they're also poxxed

🙃

[wise nymph]

Stabbing Ragers in the face as a Psyker is a very beautiful experience.

[wraith sphinx]

like nurgle blessed?

[dull scroll]

looks like a disco rave 😏

[zealous wing]

tox bombers

pox gas

[wraith sphinx]

oh inhaled the pungent aroma

[wise nymph]

I remember another reason why I love Assail.

I hate Gunners.

I can just throw a dart that autoaims at their heads and then duck back behind cover.

[wraith sphinx]

assail is the best damn anti ranged blitz it's not even close

[zealous wing]

gunners are fine as long as i have ammo or surge surge

[wraith sphinx]

it's a run saver when you qp with the majority of players who think they can just ignore shooters

[zealous wing]

honestly tho nothings made me go "oh shit" more than realising i need to reload soon and im out in the open because i got carried away

genuinely skill checked in those moments

[wind spruce]

As long as I don't get staggerlocked nothing else matters

[zealous wing]

thats where IF comes into play

[wise nymph]

I want them to add cosmetics that let me be a Landsknecht.

I need a Zweihänder skin for the Force Greatsword.

[zealous wing]

no more being locked so you cant dodge

[zealous wing]

ill take almost anything for FGS at this point that isnt the same shitty future mark that the current free ones have

saw they added FGS to commissary finally and was SO disappointed 😭

[wise nymph]

Next update, sibling. Trust the plan.

[zealous wing]

next update ill probably be hivescumming but if they have an FGS thats at least halfway decent im getting it

[wise nymph]

With how much the Greatsword has been seeing play, I would be surprised if they didn't make cooler skins for it at some point.

[zealous wing]

far as ive heard theyve only ever had 2 for FGS so one can only hope

[wise nymph]

I will also realistically be hivecumming because I read "dual wield" and immediately decided I had to become a glazer.

[candid temple]

it was a hp buff, but density nerf?

[zealous wing]

"density nerf"

[candid temple]

like 12 crushers with high hp better than 4 with slightly higher hp

[candid temple]

[wise nymph]

Using the correct Psyker voice, I see.

[candid temple]

stop aggroing the whole map with inferno

[zealous wing]

i have 2 actually, one loner one seer, and whatever i go with for my blackship offering

[wise nymph]

I think I would enjoy using the parry on the Duelling Sword.

[zealous wing]

it can explode you so be cautious

[wind spruce]

If I get staggerlocked by a reaper and die I instantly whip out the tankmaxxing build (and then get trapped or something rip)

[wise nymph]

Chadly. I plan on making a seer once I'm done levelling this one.

[wraith sphinx]

no density nerf happened, crusher spawn sizes appear to be the exact same as they were

[wise nymph]

Huh?

[wraith sphinx]

I'm still regularly getting crusher clown cars just as before

[zealous wing]

the parry on psyker currently doesnt disable the damage boost if youre at critical and just makes you go boom

[candid temple]

Note: while increasing the amount of health the Crusher have we’ve slightly lowered the amount they are allowed to spawn
so instead of 8 you get 6?

or 9 instead of 10

[zealous wing]

feels more accurate yeah

[wraith sphinx]

if that even happens lol

it's not noticeable

[zealous wing]

the difference is negligible

[candid temple]

I just play classes and weapons that don't have crusher issues

[wise nymph]

Voidstrike can one-shot Crushers. All I'm saying.

[zealous wing]

not higher up

[wise nymph]

Probably still on many difficulties if you give it some more buffs.

Since my build is very much a melee build.

[zealous wing]

vet helbore can also oneshot crushers if you build right, 2 shot if you build kinda ok

[wise nymph]

Helbore was pretty fun.

[zealous wing]

i enjoy it more than plasma thats for sure

[wise nymph]

I fucking hate Plasma.

[candid temple]

hate helbore, chargeup stuff is not my taste

[wise nymph]

I look down on everyone who uses it.

Helbore has variants. There is one with minimal charge up. It is still very fun.

[zealous wing]

i dont mind it, but im also fine using BB and i level psykers for fun, so, i am aware im an outlier

[wise nymph]

I wish we had more Lasguns.

I really dislike the standard one being semi auto.

Should I just cave and use a Revolver?

[zealous wing]

almost perfect brunt-servitor why do you hurt me so

[wise nymph]

It doesn't generate Peril, but sitting there and charging up Peril with a staff is not going to be the greatest thing ever.

[zealous wing]

if you really wanna, run a gunker

[wise nymph]

This is almost good.

[zealous wing]

get a reconlasgun or a vraks mark infauto and slap that on a gunkerbuild

[wise nymph]

I like the mental image of switching between a Zweihänder and a pistol.

I am not quite here to be a gun Psyker.

[zealous wing]

revolver not ideal, if anything grab a laspistol or a bistol probably if you go full meleeker

[wise nymph]

The build should still remain the ultimate ADHD build where I maximise APM and The Voices™.

[zealous wing]

it will work for a bit, but, revolver reload not ideal in a spicy situation

[wise nymph]

True.

Bolt Pistol it is.

[zealous wing]

bistol can be reloaded in three slides

[wise nymph]

This is mostly to give me a bit more options into heavier enemies if I don't currently want to spam heavies at their head.

[zealous wing]

am curious, what region are you?

[wise nymph]

I am in Germany, so whatever Region that would be.

[zealous wing]

EU probably

[marble crater]

"probably"

[zealous wing]

probably

my brain is also probably fried sut

[marble crater]

Why

[wise nymph]

I didn't know if "EU" was a singular region or not.

[wise nymph]

His name is "Samsa". It's a German literature reference to a book I never read.

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/kafka-kafka-my-beloved-franz-kafka-canniballs-gif-27374248

[zealous wing]

if you want, we could squad and i bring a build, and you tell me if it has you curious or not? if not, i bring the other one, and if both are a no go, perhaps we can narrow down why to help figure out what you do like saves you from testing stuff until you see something that makes you go "oooh maybe"

[marble crater]

How about smite?

[zealous wing]

blocked

[wise nymph]

I do not have a shit ton of time right now, but I would be down for that in the near future.

Friend request?

[zealous wing]

sure, ingame or discord

[wise nymph]

Discord is preferable.

[plucky flax]

Bubble smite op

[wise nymph]

What do the different variants of Bolt Pistol do again?

[wraith sphinx]

yeah it's op at making me press the block button

[zealous wing]

ones more explosion radius for less damage

[wise nymph]

So probably just genuinely worse in every way for what I would want.

[zealous wing]

basically its only good if you mainly use it for staggering a crowd or using the penetration to get a dog off someone a floor above, but main mark (more damage) is better

[wise nymph]

I am doing a round to try out the build and get to max level.

[dusk timber]

Pretty much

[wise nymph]

I will definitely stick with Disrupt Destiny.

[deft stump]

New mark has no penetration. You mean boom radius.

I know because I keep forgetting to switch Bistols.

[wise nymph]

This is the full build at Level 30.

Very fun.

I do not think there are other ways I could realistically Perilmaxx without sacrificing other parts of the build.

Can I please roll a single FGS with Warp Resistance completely dumped

[zealous wing]

honestly i find it better to just use whatever you have until brunt sells you one or you get rich

the good news tho

is if you roll a bunch, you can upgrade your mastery with the scraps

[wise nymph]

I ended up not really liking the bolt pistol.

[zealous wing]

its a bit clunky but it does do the job a sidearm does, but, valid

i didnt like it at first either, then i got used to vraks and bistol isnt so bad anymore

[wise nymph]

It is just a bit too clunky and blocky to really fit the vibe and fit in the flow of the build.

Laspistol works, but it means I have to actually whip my pistol out and use it for a decent period for it to mean anything.

[weary idol]

actually just barely doesn't into most enemies

thing is obnoxious to use

[zealous wing]

bleed ftw

[weary idol]

because it's like 40 damage short of killing anything

[zealous wing]

when i do run it tho tbh its on my zealot, if i run a gun on psyker its 99% the time reconlas or vraks

except rn, psyker 12 is definitely very cowgirl. got a 76er knife and a 76er revolver so im just like, eh fuck it, give it a go

made the outfit match

[wise nymph]

Nice.

[zealous wing]

revolver is still fine for special/elite sniping, but definitely struggles on plague ogryns, luckily could kite it around while the others recovered

also not enough ammo reserve to take out a gunner wall, but assail is enough to get me to them if needed so its technically fine, for now

[dusk timber]

Shame

[zealous wing]

definitely would rather run a reconlas or vraks still

but i havent been given one, alas alas

[dusk timber]

I wish bistol was better as a sniping sidearm but it would probably overlap with zarona revolver

[zealous wing]

i could swear the bleed does put it over the breakpoint

especially mixed with surgical

[dusk timber]

Which is unfortunate cause its the closest thing we have to a deagle

[zealous wing]

i do wonder how strong hivescums ranged will be

will they all be multishot kills or perhaps we'll get a weapon that can one shot at least ranged elites

excluding the rocket launcher))

[weary idol]

they are almost guaranteed to have the revolver so

[dusk timber]

I could see needler doing that maybe

Also that

They'll prob get at least one shared weapon that lets them snipe

[zealous wing]

if they get revolver, you think it'll also be duel wield or is it more likely that theres a specific weapon batch "duel wield Xweapon"

lmao imagine if duel wielding but you can pick a revolver in one hand and a shredder in the other

big damage, finish with tiny damage

[dusk timber]

Only the stub pistol and autopistol are dual wield

Theyre their own weapon category

[zealous wing]

makes sense tbh

fire seperately, or do they alternate and it just LOOKS like duel wielding?

[dusk timber]

Trying to implement a modular dual wield system sounds like a fucking nightmare

[dusk timber]

The clip shows them alternating between each shot but we dont know any more than that

It could be like a 2 shot burst fire thing, it could be just alternating, or maybe ads is replaced with firing the one on your offhand

Most likely just alternating tbh

[zealous wing]

you probably right

i hope they give the weapon swap a little more love

biggest fear isnt that its under or over performing strength-wise, honestly, its if it looks and feels like shit to play

i also fear for the reload animations

[dusk timber]

I think it looks good from what the clip shows

[zealous wing]

felt jank to me

we'll find out in 5 days i suppose

i'll be dragged to auric and we'll see if its overly strong immediately at least

[dusk timber]

Lol

I wonder what will be its starting weapons

[zealous wing]

probably the shivs as melee

[dusk timber]

Prob the shanks+pistols i imagine

Or maybe crowbar

[zealous wing]

i hope not but thats also possible

ill be lvl 1 so i wont get to pick a different one

[dusk timber]

Cleaver def wont be the starting one

Same for needler pistol

[zealous wing]

honestly it probably will be the crowbar, my only evidence is the arby reveal trailer featured the shotgun and thats the starter ranged

[dusk timber]

Autopistols maybe but i think regular pistols will be much more likely

[zealous wing]

whatever one we think could be havoc friendly but only if actually leveled, if laspistol on psyker is any evidence

[dusk timber]

Lol

[zealous wing]

speaking of, psyker getting devils claw starting out is cruel torture

im sure it was fine early on but like, now you're lucky to survive if youre the last alive in mission one, and there were a few times i couldnt even save the poor souls run

just, too much trash, and dclaw could not keep up

it was probably also fine when sedition was first

[dusk timber]

Mission one as in the train

[zealous wing]

the assassination

[dusk timber]

Ye

[zealous wing]

it handles fine leading up to the fight

i was able to do damnation on it (havent done specifically that mission lvl1 psyker auric yet), and we only struggled in that fight, so i know if theres less its ok

but that fight is fuckin ROUGH if youre basically alone

which, its mission one, everyones always split up in that room

[dusk timber]

I havent really experienced that but thats prob because i actually did that mission on the lowest difficulty

[zealous wing]

sedition, ye

i do miss it purely for curiosity at this point, because i cant remember how drastic the difference was

if i think uprising is empty, how tf would sedition feel

[dusk timber]

Isnt it uprising?

[zealous wing]

depends how recent i guess

[dusk timber]

Or is that second difficulty

[dusk timber]

Post arbites

[zealous wing]

ah then uprising yeah

thats what i have to go through if i do campaign, and sometimes even skip it i land on that mission anyway

[dusk timber]

Uprising, malice, heresy, damnation, auric right?

[zealous wing]

yeah sedition was below that

which, makes far more sense for devils claw to maybe be ok

specifically starter dclaw

[dusk timber]

Idk it felt fine for the mission

[zealous wing]

specifically the last room, teams not together or fighting the boss, stuff keeps spawning, people start dropping, nothing you can really do

[dusk timber]

Idk ig SA players are just built different

[zealous wing]

or you got lucky and never touched it again

there have been times it goes ok, but when it doesnt, it really doesnt

[dusk timber]

Well it certainly didnt help against the BoN that showed up right at the start of my first ever mission with my psyker

[zealous wing]

lmao rip

[dusk timber]

You wanna know whats the worst part

[zealous wing]

you were left to fight it alone?

[dusk timber]

Well not exactly

[zealous wing]

they all died didnt they

[dusk timber]

There wasnt actually anyone else

Jsut bots

[zealous wing]

ah bots

[dusk timber]

And me

But no that wasnt the worst part

The worst part is that it wasnt even the reason i failed the mission

I killed it through BB spam

NON UPGRADED BB mind you

Meanwhile i was being swarmed by a bunch of bombers and bursters because it was back when that explosives event was still going

And i fucking survived

Only to later on get flung out of the map by either a burster or a barrel

Cant remember exactly

[zealous wing]

i imagine slightly traumatised by the whole thing

[dusk timber]

And because i only had bots for teammates it was instant game over

[dusk timber]

Uprising should not be that fucking intense on god

Keep in mind this was also my first time playing psyker

[wise nymph]

Why, Brunt, why?

[dusk timber]

Lol

Lmao

[zealous wing]

huh, this pose actually WORKS with this cosmetic instead of clipping horribly with it like all the others.... cool

[wise nymph]

I'm just going to log off and not worry about it.

I'll be away from home for a few days anyways.

When I come back, it will almost be Hive Scum time.

Maybe I'll get the chance to play a match or two at some point. Play some more Maelstrom missions. Get a bunch of money. Wait around in the shop until I actually see something good.

I can stop anytime I want.

[zealous wing]

definitely no rush for the perfect roll, it only gives you something to aim for to make higher level stuff a bit easier on you and your team, but anything does actually work

[weary idol]

no even on the release of the game it was commonly considered the worst melee in the game

between it and the chainsword iirc

[wraith sphinx]

@wind spruce I'm revisiting that WS gunker idea we talked about but making it more cursed this time

[weary idol]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1184664326712332342/1389322809037160448/attachment-3-1.gif

[wraith sphinx]

I haven't used tranq thru slaughter in over half a year now this is gonna be so bad

[dull scroll]

there was an argument for going siphon in the past because you need it to achieve infinite warp unbound uptime

nowadays though..

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah lol, no point to it since the psy aura can achieve almost the same thing now

ws just doesn't work well w guns too

[zealous wing]

lmao i got the reverse grip bug

[deft stump]

Sedation is, OMG! A LONE MAULER AHHHHHHHH!

Cos I did it mostly to get the platforming skulls.

If you get an actual boss, it's usually a forced one.

[zealous wing]

almost got to use a taxe

definitely get a lot of 76ers / 76-almosts early on

[flat pendant]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PSYKERS

[icy breach]

This looks fire

[tall temple]

whats the easiest way to do this

[deft stump]

Smite flick on some maps.

You can throw a horde off in a well aimed flick.

[tall temple]

what is a smite flick

i only used it for the achievement ngl

[deft stump]

Take smite, go into psykhanium.

Rmb, lmb the group of poxxers, turn your cam in the direction you want to flick, let go of lmb.

They will be flung to some degree.

Now do the same near an edge of a map or certain spots in an actual game for it.

[tall temple]

wtf

i never noticed ts

thanks!

[deft stump]

Is actually the best way to use smite. Holding just pisses ppl off tbh.

[royal totem]

Vs oblibium. Chasm terminus. Train maybe. Few others good for it

Ez to do in a private party

[marble crater]

Best way to use smite is holding for as long as possible, because more smite = more better

[strong gulch]

Tips in 5th pin

Maybe I run smite today.

Block me now sut.

[warped fable]

in the current state of the game... does enfeeble work on the electrokinetic staff? the lst time i used that staff it did but im not sure it dose now?

[wraith sphinx]

Have no fear, sut switched sides

He BETRAYED the god-emperor of smite-haters and sided with Smiteorus

[warped fable]

i have a perma smite build that people seem to enjoy when i bring

[royal totem]

Omg plz bring it into final toll with me

[dull scroll]

advanced tips and bunch of top google result says it doesn't

[warped fable]

thx for that

[dull scroll]

I tested it myself few weeks ago over a debate on this as well, don't see any signifcant diff

[warped fable]

i was playing with it in the psycarn and i did not seem to see much of a difrance but wanted to ask if yall knew of some unseen math in the code like yall tend to do

[deft stump]

Not working. Why the reaction.

[deft stump]

Went to the smite side. Sighs.

[marble crater]

I already blocked you after our games with Dom the other day

[strong gulch]

😭

[marble crater]

And blocked Dom for flaming me, too

[plucky flax]

Did you block the stare girl?

[weary idol]

flicking will also piss me off because it's harder to headshot enemies on the floor, and poxwalkers still have collision down there

[marble crater]

Not yet

[deft stump]

Not if they are flying off the map though.

[long wharf]

so, Hive Scum gameplay teaser on reddit this morning

I want to see more rocket launching

[royal totem]

SuT likes to block ppl

[icy breach]

No karien; it pisses off rushers & former knife zealots with a mentality of ‚but mah buffs on dodge’ type shit

[deft stump]

But my buffs on dodge. Doesn't do damage anyway and gambles on not getting hit anyway.

I am still pissed at getting overheaded twice by a single boss in less than 3 secs.

When said boss is over 10m away on my screen.

True grit to 30 hp. Thanks game.

[royal totem]

blame the ping

[deft stump]

To be fair, I don't care as long people just play their best.

The very least one can do.

[icy breach]

Double dunk

[icy breach]

Atleast you were not dead immediately; another W for TG

[marble crater]

Blocked

[long wharf]

Blocked

[marble crater]

Blocked

[plucky flax]

Have you tries just not getting hit?

[long wharf]

Unblocked and then reblocked

[deft stump]

I was 10m away.

[plucky flax]

Be even further away then.

[torpid void]

Is the meta bubble knight build the tankiest build possible or is there another build that even more tanky approaching meme territory?

[deft stump]

Ask @plucky flax directly.

[zinc phoenix]

anyone know if this is true fax?

i am way too divorced from gaming hardware to validate what mr computer is telling me

[plucky flax]

9800x3d is very good get it

[zinc phoenix]

ok, i will trust you

[plucky flax]

I have it myself

[torpid void]

AgentChaos. How are you? Is the meta bubble knight build the tankiest build possible or is there another build that even more tanky approaching meme territory?

[plucky flax]

Hmm maybe gaze instead of bubble and pick owtw for more tdr

But bubble also provides tdr

[summer prairie]

bubble is way better for tanking

[plucky flax]

You're still not that tanky though

True grit limits hp per hit to 50hp

[summer prairie]

and you wouldn't want a fgs for a "tanky" build

[torpid void]

Yeah, I played test between Arbitrator and Psyker, and the survability is like night and day between them

[plucky flax]

You can play a back line staff like surge or trauma

And never stand too close to the front

[torpid void]

Thanks. I wasnot sure if you could make the deflect perk work as a shield in the game, or stun lock using surge.

[deft stump]

The true tankiest build is a meme cos you can do nothing but block.

But you can block a DH for like 4 mins holding block and venting when needed.

And I mean semiAFK.

[torpid void]

That sounds interesting, where can I find that build?

[deft stump]

I haven't updated it lmao. It's slot 1 on my actual psyker. I'll show you the talents when I get back on PC. Think I posted it before.

It's stacking everything to reduce peril generation and KD.

Deflector on fs or fgs. Fgs can block for longer.

Block efficiency and stam gen (can replace it with some other stuff.), CDR.

I run +9stam.

From what I see, more stam lowers peril taken.

Not sure how the maths is like.

But it is a stupid meme.

Works for MM tanking.

Poke DH and let other psyker bb.

Just note that you will die to overheads still so don't try to block those.

Do note this is stupid enough when I forgot KD, I could still block a reaper barrage.

At least on heresy and damnation.

[royal totem]

I have 9950x3d

Im gonna try meme things tonight

[marble crater]

Drinking water is the best thing ever

[deft stump]

Last time you said sparkling water was.

Or whatever you call carbonated water.

[marble crater]

Yeah, it's both water

[weary idol]

carbonated water somehow managing to make clean water taste bad

[marble crater]

There are some that do taste bad, but just like with everything else including regular tab water, there are different flavors

[long wharf]

I dislike carbonated water intensely

I'll drink ice cold water all day

until it gets warm, then I won't touch it

[buoyant lake]

What do you all think of my psyker

[long wharf]

needs to learn about color matching

[buoyant lake]

What

[long wharf]

you asked

[buoyant lake]

What do you mean "needs to learn about color matching"

[long wharf]

your hood doesn't match your top doesn't match your bottom

[buoyant lake]

Oh

[long wharf]

the top tends to be the "busiest" of the cosmetics

I like to make sure the colors and materials fit

[marble crater]

You can drink ice cold carbonated water

[long wharf]

yuck, still carbonated

I don't know what it is, maybe I taste the bitterness of the CO2 when there isn't any flavorings

I drink soda regularly

but you can't pay me to drink carbonated water

[plucky flax]

German moment

[marble crater]

Can pay me though, if I like it though, I also don't like every brand, some do taste vile

[long wharf]

... I have yet to taste carbonated water that I liked

[deft stump]

Some taste earthy and salty.

[marble crater]

Water shouldn't taste salty

[deft stump]

Basically, you need to learn to dress up.

[long wharf]

"earthy"? you mix dirt into your water?

why?

[deft stump]

It is natural mineral water.

[deft stump]

No. Is from bottle.

[long wharf]

so, straight from the dirty pond out back?

[deft stump]

No, is German spring water or something.

The packaging is in German, all I know is that.

[long wharf]

so, straight from a dirty German pond, got it.

super efficient, not having to worry about filtering the water prior to bottling

[upbeat kestrel]

Not german pond but underground spring

And its still filtered

[buoyant lake]

But i like looking like that

[long wharf]

that's fine

you asked for opinions, you got them

feel free to ignore them

and when you're ready to dress like an adult, let us know

[deft stump]

There are some mismatch that are okayish though. Personally, the chest and legs look okay.

The hood though... OFF.

[long wharf]

it's fine to mix different colors, as long as they don't clash

but you don't mix three different whole-piece colors like that

especially when the busiest piece already presents three different materials as an ensemble

i.e. black cloth, brass metal, and red cloth (belt)

[buoyant lake]

How about now?

[worn heron]

Hawk tuah

[long wharf]

better, but the gray hood doesn't match the gray of the pants

[deft stump]

To a kinda shadeblind person, is okay.

[long wharf]

if either hood or pants matched the black of the top, it'd be fine

[upbeat kestrel]

Looks good to.me

[long wharf]

having multiple shades together works if they're combined into a pattern

or a clear "set"

[deft stump]

Like, not atrociously off.

[long wharf]

it's not atrocious like before

but definitely noticeable, and therefore I would consider not good enough

[deft stump]

But really, dressing up in this sucks unless you are made of money.

[buoyant lake]

What pants do you recommend

[deft stump]

So I would leeway it a little.

[long wharf]

with that top, I try to match the black of the cloth

[deft stump]

There's the black hood.

[long wharf]

but the brass of the top also restricts any metal on the bottoms

using a bottom that has silver highlights won't match the top at all

[upbeat kestrel]

If i was on my pc i would send in my sets

[long wharf]

and the more different materials you have on the bottom or hood, the more you want the materials to match the top

[upbeat kestrel]

Right now on psyker i usually use the cowboy hat vostroyan body and havoc pants

[long wharf]

I don't mind the cowboy hat with the cloth face covering, but the covering clips with basically every top

instead of being a physics cloth that drapes over the top

[upbeat kestrel]

Psyker is the most samey looking class in my roster

[deft stump]

Likely to save on processing maybe? Or sheer laziness.

[long wharf]

weird, psyker has a nice range of different styles

[upbeat kestrel]

Well alternatively vet

[long wharf]

laziness, psyker has head pieces with cloth physics

[buoyant lake]

What about the mind witch's service raiment

[long wharf]

I don't have all names memorized

gonna need a pic, champ

[deft stump]

Annoying considering how expensive the cosmetics are.

1 hat costs as much as a DRG DLC cosmetic bundle.

[long wharf]

oh absolutely, I hate how expensive cosmetics are in Darktide

[upbeat kestrel]

Eh

[long wharf]

second in price-per-what-you-get to only Diablo4, in my experience

[upbeat kestrel]

Iwhen i will have more spendable income

I will buy more cosmetics id theyblook nice

[long wharf]

... that said, I have almost all psyker cosmetics

[marble crater]

Do you know the name

[deft stump]

I can go look for the bottle.

[verbal thistle]

but assail sounds so satisfying

an old clip

[long wharf]

I love assail's sound design

[static sonnet]

fftfftfftfftfftfftfftfftfftfft

[long wharf]

sound design is one of the things FatShark does consistently well

[verbal thistle]

really the only good sounding thing, compared to VT2 which had so many good sounding things

like shade backstabs

[long wharf]

what are you talking about?

Bolter? Flamethrower?

Lasgun?

[tulip kettle]

Ritualist pops

[long wharf]

charged hammer strike?

[tulip kettle]

Are so good

[verbal thistle]

its my opionion, but I dont find most of the sounds that good in DT

[deft stump]

Harz Quell or so. There's another, but that's just AIDA cruise branded thing.

[long wharf]

tons of well-designed sounds in Darktide

I haven't played either VT game, so I can't compare

[tulip kettle]

But there's more to sound design than the sound itself

[buoyant lake]

These

[marble crater]

Never had that, but I'm also not near the Harz

[long wharf]

strike 1 - using your phone to take a photo and posting to discord

[marble crater]

Like sounds not being bugged and actually playing?

[tulip kettle]

Yup

[deft stump]

Till it hits cara. Then sad faec.

[long wharf]

especially since you've already taken screenshots on your PC for Discord

[tulip kettle]

Or sounds being legible over each other

Os distinct

[buoyant lake]

My Xbox is old

[tulip kettle]

Or evocative

[deft stump]

Oh. Ah well.

[marble crater]

Best I can do is provocative

[tulip kettle]

I really like the ritualist pops. I also really like the sounds of FGS reaching charge level 2.

[buoyant lake]

It takes it forever to upload it to xbox network

[upbeat kestrel]

New assail upgrade/sidegrade you are now able to charge up a big lance that kill cara good

[long wharf]

this wasn't from your phone

[upbeat kestrel]

However that should be bbs specialty

[long wharf]

regardless, taking a photo with your phone doesn't result in a clear enough picture to pass judgement

[buoyant lake]

Don't you play darktide

[long wharf]

do you think I put outfits together by their name?

or how things look in-game with the proper lighting?

[deft stump]

Just find a pic on the wiki and link.

[tulip kettle]

Ooof he's got you there bro

He knows you don't actually play the game

[long wharf]

DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE PHONES

[upbeat kestrel]

No

We take pictures with sticks

[deft stump]

Don't make me use my phone to screenie that and post it.

[buoyant lake]

[deft stump]

You mean mobile Diablo?

[long wharf]

that was the original reference, yes?

but no, I'd never tell someone to play Diablo on their phone

[buoyant lake]

Diablo?

[long wharf]

you didn't catch the reference earlier, that's okay

Battle wizard is really funneh. You get a teleport + outrageous damage + actually quite solid melee and you can stack a charm that makes you super tough if you only get hit once in a while.

[merry meteor]

Does Soulblaze do a fixed amount of damage per stack, same for everybody - or is it based on particular character's base (warp) damage?

[marble crater]

Damage scales exponentially with stacks and also interacts with your damage buffs

[merry meteor]

without all those though, does one stack deal the same amount of damage for everybody, per tick?

[marble crater]

Without any buffs? Sure

Same stacks, no buffs or same buffs, damage would be the same

[merry meteor]

or in other words, will increasing my base damage also increase damage my SB does?

Like, a Perfect Timing talent - it gives you +15% base damage. Will it also add +15% damage to SB per tick?

[marble crater]

If you increase damage that buffs soulblaze, like all damage or warp damage then your soulblaze deals more damage

[ripe obsidian]

No, that would be 10000

[marble crater]

I thought we are counting up

[ripe obsidian]

I was converting 1111 from binary

[marble crater]

Should, yea

[marble crater]

Okay, Servitor

eh, it's not bad

but not great

metallic highlights are different on each piece

[royal totem]

I should play more with Karien

[deft stump]

Well, I have the set pants.

[royal totem]

When i play with Karien i can chill out and not get dragged into hard things

[long wharf]

the top already has two different blacks on different materials

which I don't think pair well

the black of the hat doesn't match either

[marble crater]

And not use a staff?

[lapis violet]

i've noticed i can't hit shit unless enemies are highlighter, at which point i get aimbot

my momma kinda homeless

[buoyant lake]

Is there a normal laspistol

[lapis violet]

like not a heavy laspistol?

[buoyant lake]

Yeah

[lapis violet]

nah

in lore yeah, in game nah

[buoyant lake]

Darn

Wait in lore?

[marble crater]

40k lore

[buoyant lake]

Fat shark will have to add it now

[lapis violet]

[marble crater]

Fatshark will only add what Games workshop is okay with and they are... well

[buoyant lake]

Damn

[lapis violet]

canonically, plasma guns are many different colors

there's red and orange ones, which the traitors use

green ones are used by blood angels

we'll never get a green plasma, though

[marble crater]

Main thing the vets care about are different flavors of plasma though

[lapis violet]

what blessings for gunker laspistol?

[marble crater]

To huff or drink/eat

[lapis violet]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-truth-true-soyjak-wojak-gif-14828627546768133163

we needed both of these here

[marble crater]

If you are lucky it's in one of the pinned builds

[lapis violet]

it's not, sadly

[marble crater]

Unlucky

[lapis violet]

infernus, ghost

let it be

what about greatsword though

[royal totem]

unstable power+ deflector or wrath

[solid pond]

wrath

or even shred

[lapis violet]

i get so much peril cleansing on scrier's though

[solid pond]

shreds great

[lapis violet]

like as long as i'm sitting in a horde, i'm at 0-ish peril

[solid pond]

thats not scriers

thats by crack of bone

[lapis violet]

yeah not scriers but that does damage

making crack of bone proc on every swing multiple times

[solid pond]

the weapon will just do that anyway

not hard to kill a groaner

[lapis violet]

fair

how's about perks

flakiac?

[royal totem]

carapace unyeild i think?

[lapis violet]

yeah sounds about right

[marble crater]

Caralding

[lapis violet]

that's a new one

[solid pond]

p much

if you want flak change unyield for it but

don't really need

[royal totem]

i'm known for running suboptimal things by accident though :3

[solid pond]

plus its funny doing like 14k per heavy on a monstrosity

that's high DD stacks but still, worth it

highest ive hit without putting effort into it was 18k on a captain

[royal totem]

danb'

[solid pond]

goofy ah toothpick

granted, its a big toothpick

[royal totem]

despite hanging out here i barely play psyker

[sullen bobcat]

I did double my damage is just overkill damage on melee psyker
Havoc 19

Also, does the force great sword alt count as melee or ranged?

[ripe obsidian]

Ranged, I believe.

[pure plinth]

i dont personally like the design of smite and how it plays in the game but one really can get some of the pettiest manchildren online who will go out of their way to harass over it

[solid pond]

ye is def ranged

puncture works on the slash lol

bleed spam

[jovial juniper]

But Blazing Spirit doesn't because bs is only melee on the swords

[solid pond]

BS with the forced crit slash is such a missed opportunity by the rotund shark

[deft stump]

@tulip kettle I still do not carry damnit.

[marble crater]

Melee SB is a missed opportunity, period

[solid pond]

debatable

you can melee things and make SB exist

is it melee SB then

or is it just perilous combustion being perilous combustion

my favourite melee psyker is the one where I have to attack the least types of enemies

[marble crater]

I want melee SB to be viable without any extra talents

[ripe obsidian]

Just make it 2 stacks on a regular hit and 4 on a crit or something.

And it would work better

[solid pond]

[marble crater]

and make it a short cleaving area so it burns enemies behind what you are hitting

[ripe obsidian]

That was... unimpressive

[marble crater]

I'm whelmed

[ripe obsidian]

What map is that?

[marble crater]

Train or new operation I guess?

[acoustic jacinth]

rolling steel's first objective, no?

i don't remember seeing the green shit though

this might just be new

[marble crater]

Guess it's the new map, would make sense

[royal totem]

pretty sure green shit is there but shrugs

actually no i guess might be new

[solid pond]

yea definitely has green shit in it

[royal totem]

idk

[solid pond]

this is a plot to get me to play rolling steel and im not falling for it

[ripe obsidian]

I just don't remember the green stuff

Otherwise it looks like the train map

[marble crater]

I also don't remember this

Is this Darktide's Mandela Effect?

[verbal thistle]

the green tubes have always been in the 1st cart

[royal totem]

ah ok so i'm not imagining things

good to know i still have a bit of sanity left

[white sky]

im like 90 percent sure rolling steel always looked like that

[ripe obsidian]

Fascinating

[wind spruce]

It's funny how it seems to shoot before the draw animation is finished

[white sky]

i like that the video cuts off right before they get poxburstered

[fierce crest]

What a terrible video

[white sky]

the gameplay is tbh better than the last one

they dodged some stuff

[royal totem]

the last one was funy

but we can't expect too much from devs

[fierce crest]

The cleave on the crowbar PA looks decent tho

Fighting 12 poxwalkers slowly

Thrilling

[lone ravine]

They hit two enemies with the push attack

[fierce crest]

I'd say at least 4, and it didn't get stopped

[lone ravine]

I mean I definitely hope that the cleave doesn’t stop at 6

[lapis violet]

i can already sense being called "smartest greatsword psyker" here

[lone ravine]

I hope they don’t make heavy evis levels of cleave into the crowbar

[lapis violet]

my ego is simply too big because of the weapon 🥀

[long saddle]

anyone remember the brain rupture autotarget mod? was it taken down?

[royal totem]

i don't hope for anything.

i'll just play whatever Fatshark gives

no sense doing otherwise

hope is what leads to disappointment

[long saddle]

never mind, found it

[zealous wing]

i just hope its fun to play, honestly
