if its underpowered, or overpowered, honestly either can be fun, long as it technically functions
ok new scum clip, gives a lil hope back
at LEAST they've got a special target weapon
so, not too weak to do anything helpful
granted theres a high chance thats a lower difficulty but, still
the dual-wielding-magnums into a horde and not visibly thinning it wasn't impressive
but I'm all for pulling out rocket launchers
The trailers aren’t usually impressive since they’re certified sedition games
I'm not someone that specifically cares about dual wielding
I don't play Darktide to click my mouse buttons as fast as I can
it looked auto so maybe its a hold to fire
I hope so
surge surge with knife gameplay 
my joints hurt just thinking about that
either way, this'll be the first Darktide content I don't pay for the premium package
im still debating it, but i do suppose it depends how happy i am with the base cosmetics, the deluxe doesnt have much that interests me
frankly, I don't like the look of "crazy hive gangers" at all
the mask i do like, and maybe the coat, but im iffy on it
it's really not my thing
and the devs probably have shit aim so like
even if you're shooting a horde if your aim is shit
the stats on the gun are completely wrong or such
it's not really an "accurate" reflection
Prolly gonna pick up the deluxe because I know without any good hats or hoods I’ll be annoyed if my Scum has to wear the same fucking bob cut every fem character has had since launch lol
who knows if itll be any good. the bfg slash looked super underwhelming in the previews or whatever but wound up being awesome
i think its really just a wait and see
Crowbar looks fun
i'm just gonna pick up the standard
Joked with a friend that it’ll be a different flavor of shovel and I think I might be onto something
Now that this dropped
that looks like a lot of cleave
I care most about the talent tree, which we haven't seen yet
NDA breaks tomorrow right
Cant imagine we'll be waiting too long to see it then
i think that only representing necromunda-esque hive gangers as marketing was a mistake
Although the PA overhead makes the Mk1 so I’m a lil worried it’ll be weak into Cara but we’ll see
Maybe it gets Uncanny 
lots of things in game are good against carapace though.
The MK1 is relatively weak into cara but like crusher maul, it just has a weirdly powerful PA to help offset that
i know that fatshark can and will make it work but i hope for more than just that in terms of aesthetics
It helps against most beefier enemies, not just armor
uncanny would be cool on it though
I like to PA overhead mutants with the shovel because it does so much damage that if my pugs shoot the thing, I’ll prolly just get the killing blow
I do wish less randos would magdump mutants and just take a step to the left 
But I’m happy with this too
lmao first roll on psyker12
Niiice
I predict that striketeams are going to be severely ammo starved when running two or more Scummers
generally, yeah.
I got my plasmoid godroll the other day just on a “I wonder”
considering they have ammo aura maybe not
Laughed to my buddy like “yeah some people spend millions of ordos on this”
Rolled a reverse godroll at first with 71 thermal res but then within like six more rolls I got the real one
especially so close to NDA lift
i feel sorry for anyone paired with a scum that mag dumps, an ogryn with a twink, and a new arby with hordelear shotgun
LMAO
they'll be at eachothers throats possibly
however
having a hive scum and a vet both replacing ammo would be very good
laughs in melee psyker
i was running with a vet the other day and god they were the worst.
laughs in surge surge
i feel like that one inf ammo scum talent is gonna pull every single recon vet to the class
ability? ykwim
does depend if they get something that hits the oneshot breakpoints in auric+
nah im going straight to auric
its gonna be pain
I could have a buddy drag me in but he’s also going to buy scum so
We’re gonna have to do it the old fashioned way
Can’t wait for the online posts about “can’t stand all these people playing scum just rushing ahead”
I dont think that matters to the accatran gamers who shoot all game
perhaps you could just switch, take a turn each seeing how it performs in auric for you at lvl 1, then level up together after that
Literally people trying to get out of malice as fast as possible
thats kind of what nem and i are gonna do, except we have someone who can take us both to auric at once
I love my friend to death but realistically it would be me leveling my scum and corpse dragging his at that level lmao
Tbh I'm probably not buying scum on release
trial by fire genuinely works in this game
He’s put himself through a couple of gauntlets and just got his lunch money taken by poxwalkers
i was pulled from malice (having heresy issues) to auric mael and im now as good of a tox flamer as dom is
He’s come a long way tho. I’m genuinely proud of how proficient he’s gotten relative to time played
He really enjoys melee psyker but doesnt yet know how to control the power so he often finds himself backdashing into a pickle getting butt tickled
“Oh shit that’s a ton of guys behind us”
“Behind you big dawg! I’m back here”
final stats
He’s the only friend I’ve brought into Darktide that actually played long enough to regularly queue Damnation/Auric
ah so map awareness
They all quit in malice
not bad for a throw away character
He’s developing gamesense slowly. There’s a lot of things that can’t be taught as much as they just gotta be experienced and fine tuned
a friend brought me into darktide
“Always dodge when you hear a trapper net, even if you don’t think it’s aiming at you”
"always turn to push a burster, even if you think its not near enough to you"
yeah. nothing wrong with that. i'm only 770hours in and i've only cleared havoc 29 🙁 i'm an unskilled player
don't have the map awareness of somebody a few thousand hours in
i hear the lunge i turn and push
I’ve also felt dogs jump faster since Arbites update
then whats the 40 by your name, HUH!?
Like they don’t spend as much time going “arrooo” before they actually jump
So they’ll round a corner and just TACKLE your ass
i think that's the ThoughtsAndPrayers person
not me
😏
it's like hard to describe to new people EXACTLY when to push
it's just like something you learn from experience
it's of course not about never getting dogged or netted or bursted
good players much more experienced than me still do. it's just about as little as possible
It’s dodging for me. I told him “Try not to dodge just for the sake of doing something with your fingers, or if you use it for movement don’t overextend. Your dashes lose effectiveness the more you spam them without waiting like a half second”
Always spam push 20+ times when you hear one.
yeah there is that. but i think it's learning. i do sometimes just dodge when in melee but i guess it's also weird instinct for me
I’ve started double pushing bursters
double pushing bursters better
Normally I just single push and dash back but I found you can squeeze the second one and holy fuck it feels so much better
i have slower reflexes than most of you here so
It also broke my habit of ALWAYS doing a PA because I don’t let off the LMB
Double? 20+ times panicking.
if i preempt dodge it generally works better for me
Do you know how many times I’ve detonated a burster by clipping it with a PA from longer weapons?
It’s a sad number
Low, but sad
i need to play more heresy
heresy is the right amount of you get punished for your mistakes but also a you aren't so brutally punished you can't recover
for me personally
Punish me harder, daddy Emps UwU
Thank you for sharing
I downloaded the relauncher mod, so that the game would relaunch on crash
problem is that quitting the game is actually a crash
so is alt f4
I was in a loop lol
I will just do it manually instead of this
the days of bursters being kinetically flayed by a psykers force weapon push attack are over so at least theres that
now we just gotta hope no one shot it earlier and it only has a couple HP left
Seems like they added a new HK server for darktide
It has much more people playing than central Pacific asia

apparently after i blocked him he kept spewing trash so, glad i blocked him, and i hope he dies often
this was like, 5m later
I don’t get people who don’t take a singular piece of advice
"you should watch it giving unsolicited advice" tell me youre a moron without saying youre a moron
like as long as it’s not an entire game long I don’t care if someone gives a helpful remark
was literally the only advice i gave, and it was after he died to it
not after he shot it and killed me with it, after he shot another one and killed HIMSELF with it
it's funny
when they only kill themselves
it's not as funny when their willful ignorance punishes the rest of the team
or even one other teammate
he really missed the opportunity to make it even funnier
should have just said "Emperor protects"
ye i accidentally pushed a burster into the zealot earlier that game, and it killed him. i took a medicae, and absolutely dumbassed myself to the res point to get him back up
had like 20hp left by the time i got him up
I've had my arbites dog push poxbursters into people
he doesnt seem like the kind to enjoy anything in life
let alone jokes
yeah
i will accidentlly ping a burster sometimes, and frantically look for ANYTHING to ping
i would like a cancel dog button
how about just not auto-sending your dog on first ping? 🙂
or use my mod that lets you hold down the ping button to send your dog
because 2nd ping is location
i still thing bursters are the most buggy special
Hounds are probably buggier but both are awful
hounds are buggy?
No charge up pounce, complete 180 pounces
I'd chalk that up to lag
no sound is less the bursters fault and more the engines fault tbh
sound is something that's not tied to a specific enemy (usually)
Darktide has so much audio going on that it easily runs out of audio channels
Sound is just because bajillion audio cues on at once therefore can’t do new ones
and sometimes it's because the enemy literally spawned next to you
I want a mod that allows you to remove unnecessary audio
all they need to do is make certain enemies have audio priority, namely bombers(and tox), bursters, hounds, and trappers
if they give priority to specialists it would be a smoother experience
bombers are on that list because they dont need LoS
so the only way to find them most the time is audio
Me watching the pox bomber hit 37 ricochet’s to dome me with a severed gas head
i do suppose sniper shots should also have priority
Can anyone hear the sniper sound cue? I think they added one a few patches ago..
Like the laser's sound
I can hear the charge up noise
I've had hounds bunny hop across the map, make 0 sound, land right next to me, ignore stagger, then immediately pounce from 180
Idk if thr laser makes a sound
oh it does make an ambient noise
I’ve never heard it
Ngl im never gonna hear that
I think sometimes sniper shoots before the laser sight even appears
Mostly because I need a new headset 
i tend to hear it unless its helldensityhavoc
in which case i usually try to face the sniper to see the flash
Yea sometimes I get shot without the seeing the laser, maybe it has to do with character height 
could be the aggro was on someone else, sometimes that happens if youre collateral damage
nice for you to never have bursters be buggy but most of us have unfortunately. and i think if the majority have there is probably some change due to make them just less buggy. i don't mind their damage or anything. just buggy.
True but I tend to notice this more on my max height zealot and not my average height psyker
i want explosion event velocity back ngl
Might just be a coincidence though
the amount of explosives on a burster should fling me farther
Training room with creature spawner is some fun times
Spawn 30 bursters and detonate them 
Aw you didn't hit the ceiling 
i have a slowly increasing project of "psykanium shenanigans" of me trying to hit the ceiling, playing with the lamps, etc
welcome
rip
i think pox gas is so obnoxious cuz you can't see incoming specials
i took 0 damage till a poxburster killed me in one go by exploding me off a bridge
ok which of my siblings named themselves this
i don't think he's a sibling...
If book isn't warp magic what is it
ah fack i just realized he is a zealot
zealots are untrustworthy
the ego on some people 
I assume people know it was a mistake 
they dont have book 

Forgor book at home
That's why I chain it to my back
hello can someone confim that the mark VI blaze force greatsword is real?
because i CANT FIND ONE
not even the stupid robot sells it
Anyone down to help with a penance? It's the malleus monstonum
bruh. you just switch marks after getting a weapon
like if it's mk 8 you can switch to 6
i can help u
after i bio
ok i can help u now
Unsure what bio is but thank you my friend code is 6017341542
bio is just biological needs
snacks/water/bathroom etc
hop in strike team 2
i'll quickly explain fastest way to do it etc
don't have to talk. just listen
sent you an invite i think
and......another MM done :3
yeah what nems said, its a mark, you switch can marks of weapons when you unlock them through mastery levels
you can do it with any weapon that has marks
including lasguns, reconlas guns, melee weapons, etc
i got told to take bubble
now i just keep blowing up
lul
my conclusion is never take bubble if you're not used to it lul
lmao who has the skissue where they require bubble?
the arbs
hey @royal totem , will you have some time to help me with malleus monstonum? 🙂 Last penance for my psyker 🙂 as I understood you an expert in this)
oof nemui trying to dethrone me? the audacity
I can use your help as well, so you will keep your throne xD
eu
I think it blocks overheads as well in auric.
I also blow up all the time with shield 
You can just leave when done tbh.
The penance doesn't require completion.
I helped enough ppl to know that.
well no but never hurts to finish the mission
don't get to 5mil dockets by quitting missions
Is heresy, wouldn't going damn or auric get you more dockets, hrm?
Assuming you are up for it anyway.
But yeah, is more ppl wanna just get it done and leave.
does anyone have any suggestions for the Malleus Monstronum penance?
use lfg to do that penaces, as private group
Just bb a boss while a slab oggy tanks it.
Do not take any soublaze things.
brain burst a boss with blue stimm faster or red make more dmg.
kk :D
Best boss is pogryn or DH.
i tried to do it on the slug bc its slow but the health was way too high :/
srry was in havoc
Let the oggy with slab pull DH aggro and drop shield.
betttt
need help?
yeahh\
i trust hexis already helped you
numbers next to my name here are my friend code
1237612970
Honestly, I would help if I'm not in bed and on phone. Been awhile since I did it.
nothing is showing up for you either 🤔
hmmmm weird
oml im so dumb i thought you meant steam friend code lmao
I got on to check. Just send code and I'll do a quick one.
ok i sent the inv
Or invite.
okok im in one of the VCs if you wanna join
strike team 3
also brb bio sec before we start
I do west usually.
yep 🙂
I feel like it's not needed in regular play because inferno already suppresses like crazy
you know what's better than a bubble? killing the enemies lmao
Also shriek let's you stop one entire direction
So you can purge the other direction
shriek lets you also ez save people from dogs etc
Assuming you have friends they can help you mop up either direction too
That is called a rock or a kickback to it/
mostly me and hexis :3
Yeah, is what I mean. Next gen. Some joked about doing their time.
First person I tried helping, we played an entire afternoon. I couldn't try to solo heresy and we didn't get early bosses.
Ended up with a mid run DH that I just provoked as the final try of the day.
i always go for maps with guarenteed spawns
if theres none on the board we do a map thats alright and just see how it goes
We didn't have guaranteed spawn maps then.
consignment wasnt around?
Didn't roll them.
So we just went random missions praying for DH.
Missions used to be random based on difficulty. So you only had 3 actual missions on heresy.
And I had to do the heavy lifting from memory since that person doesn't play higher diffs.
i just campaign dark comunion
No campaign back then.
campaigns dont have DHs if we want a chance for more backup plans if i have to take over
depends how confident i am the other person can avoid and kill the monster tbh
ah
DH is safe bet.
it is if youre a psyker or oggy
Just focus on disablers.
some cute seer/bully dialogue
And chip into the DH.
i like dark comunion cuz normally on heresy i find it's 2-3 chances
Corruption damage from DH aura stops at around 40% hp left.
This is tested on my psyker mostly. Cos I used to do it with that funni build.
this makes zero sense
even account for rounding crit damage gives a worse % damage than weakspot does
and why do you only get ~24 bonus damage from the crit damage perk when its a ~282 damage increase from non-crit
10% of 282?
yeah so i'd be expecting like 4 more damage
Maybe some weird rounding error.
even with rounding it doesnt add up
the third row i have the base rounded down and the perk modified damage rounded up
I wonder if there's variational damage. No talent vet baseline or so?
on psyker with zero talents
I assume jank FS coding.
yeah unsurprising result tbh
Can not beat this fucking twins mission
Heresy. Just doing the campaign.
i can help you if you need help
not guaranteed win but i'll be better than most randoms
Sure, happy to take any help I can get. I’m new, but I feel like I’m mostly pulling my weight.
I even grabbed bubble to try to help the team a bit more but no luck so far.
1 person can rarely carry a mission
inv me
i'll help
my friend code is next to my name
i can't read strike team chat but yea xD put is in mission when ready
I’m not typing anyway. On PS5.
fair
want another?
Appreciate the help.
Heck yea
i can just join if theres room
all good, sorry xD
hexis can just join from me
Inviting
hmmmm not sure
it split us up then nems left
rescued the two others and left, least i apologised xD
Yea, uhh.
not sure what happened there
its been a bug a couple times, game freaks out and doesnt know what to do when someone joins right as another group, and just says "fuck it, split em"
I can try again
ye
lol
gg on the keep your distance penance as well
No idea what that is haha
dont get hit in melee by an elite on heresy +
Well, thanks for the carry that was so easy compared to my other runs
not a problem :D
the twins fight is actually hard for new people
ye tell me about it
cuz if you don't know how they work/how to handle it
when it was just my spouse and i playing in private games, it was a fucking struggle
it's very punishing
i failed through it cuz at some point i got lucky and got qued with good players
also cuz like most players going through it first time are still using low power weapons that are gray
without their whole tree either
its the only reason my other characters were as leveled as they were, because my spouse and i just stopped at that mission until we figured it out
having a book zealot makes a lot of room in that mission though
Not sure if I left the strike group but it was unintentional. Got an invite, accepted, total strangers. Also, heard my dog whine and had to sprint to let him out.
no worries, had to relaunch
i left cuz i'm in the "relax and sleep soon" phase
It feels like the game is shortening the amount of reaction time players can have in order to react on time. More noticeable in havocs. I don't mean lag or bad ping.
was having weird menu lag, but im down to hang out if you like
i like to think i have decent reaction time but i still dunno how to "perfect block" or what that threshhold even is
it's cuz game hides too much info from players imo
Cool, well, I appreciate it. I’m gonna head out too, but didnt want to be rude and just leave the group and vanish. Dog has been super sick so the moment he twitches I’m running across the house
valid
🙁 hope dog gets better
like if you don 't have a mod you can't even see how much hp any boss beyond 2 has
i dont have that mod, makes havoc a bit more spicy when suddenly, no theres TWO CS and twins,
which would be fine if the game never gives you more than 2 bosses at once
but it does
think Healthbars does it but unsure.
I have notoriously slow reaction time. It gets worse with health issues. Like 400 ms (with good internet but is still online, so take it with a grain of salt. It's not usually that bad) but it still happens.
my reaction time is pretty slow too
i guess it's not very relevant to most people cuz most people will never get 2+ bosses at once
50% of the people who've played this game have never beaten an uprising mission, so i think that do be accurate
i mean auric and below is unlikely to get more than two
even like havoc 20s is unlikely to get more than two unless boss+twins
it happens but like in 20s i can count on one hand the number of times i've had more than 3 (twins+1 boss)
heya dom
i jsut go "wow this is a very bad day"
it can always be worse
poor soul who had rot stims lights out hounds on h5
tells me early havoc does indeed get spicy sometimes 
it does
i did rot garden havoc 22 i think it was earlier
and i think a few of my teammates weren't having it
imagine getting rot toll or rot garden 5
stimms sucks balls fuck stimms
rot is not that bad
stimms and pox gas are
Pretty sure that is true. Things are feeling more spicy even at the usual ping. Like dodges that used to count not counting and such.
Mine slowed as I aged. I miss being able to dodge 0.12 warning till instagib.
what do Psykers have that kills bosses fast? i've never seen a psyker take down a boss fast
gunker stuff
Skitarius cheating to spam certain hits.
hmm, none of our staves/spells then?
Watched a chaos spawn die in less than 2 secs before.
And while you can 1-2 shot on zealot thunderhammer, this is on psyker.
None of the direct warp stuff is good for bosses
Its mostly specific guns and melee
Force Greatsword, Infantry Autoguns, Laspistol, and Combat Shotguns all work
hmm i'll try that out
sucks that i have to rely on team if i'm not using a build with that
gun
Sword
i've been using the force greatsword on a lot of builds so i'm trying out other stuff
the chain axe seems okay
Knife, force greatsword, the good marks of normal force sword, dueling sword (gross), devil's claw (one trick)
All of these are quite good for bosses
If you really want to use staves, EK and inferno are the options for boss killing.
It's not the worst but it's not the best.
electrokinetic
the one with lightening secondary
alright, i'll try that. i have the speed blessing + blazeaway atm
Inferno for bosses is just a complicated way of saying just use soulblaze
what blessings for EK?
IF you really want to push the damage, using melee to buff the SB DoT is the way to go. That isn't using the staff directly tho, but warp stuff is doing the main damage for you.
Blaze away and penetrating can work if you sleep with a God/Goddess of Luck.
It's in the build bonanza in the pins.
Ek is flak + maniac / unyielding and nexus + flurry
RMB assumed
left
EK can do well with right side but will need assail to help with hordes if doing right side.
FGS
Cos a lucky leprechaun will crit all the time even at a 1% crit rate
TRUE
penetrating flames on inferno
is only worth taking into rot armour, and only if you dont mind losing your own damage to boost your team mates damage
better to just run normal BA./WN with a uncanny melee
i agree
but, pen flames is actually better overall damage if your team are competent
if
Or you sleep with a god or goddess of luck.
nah they can be competent and not be running stuff great at taking advantage of pen flames
when you could just kill the enemy
And crit non-stop anyway.
it stacks with other sources of brittle
60% brittle makes ogryns and arbies go brr honestly
like dont get me wrong, you can just run normal and stack uncanny and do it all yourself
but if your team are otherwise good with competent builds you will get faster overall TTK on crusher blobs with pen flames
i would still take blaze away and drop nexus for it
its especially useful if you are running bubble and so cant overcap inferno stacks easily
and dont rely so much on EE
but yes, usually into rot i would just say take shriek and nexus and do it all yourself
Big if.
don't even need shriek to melt cara hordes, sure it does it faster but uncanny/superiority does wonders anyway
if i'm using Nexus, should i also build into Empathic Evasion?
JaD is GREAT for melee heavy builds (like gunker/meleeker), but as a caster JaD does cause issues ye
EE is one of the best nodes in the tree.
ranged attack evasion is just really good
with Prescience or is Seer's Presence fine?
Seer's Presence is my preference
yeah, don't need to critmax that hard
I usually sit around 40% overall crit rate on my inferno staff w/ Seer's Presence
And with inferno, that's more than enough
Ye
this is inferno meta build
its 28 points
spend the last 2 getting some of the red ones you want
i usually take shield to get people to move in
if you take bubble instead of shriek, get the blue ones
bubble good too yea
i drop it ahead of where we're going so people feel confident to move in
this one knows whats up with bubble

it catches a bit less cope than smite but people still cope about it here
but a tool is a tool
bubble is the ultimate mindgame tool
its really good as a "simpletons stand here" sign
i'm a returning player, i know Ogryns have Ogrynomicon, did the Psyker, Anathema? one ever take off or is it gone now?
check pinned
it was good for a while, but now its outdated
we now have bonanza
The Athenaeum is out of date.
Bubble's greatest weakness is grated flooring.
six's build guide is great
My pinned build guide is the most up to date thing afaik
TRUE 😭
alright, i'll check i tout
and then any questions about specific talents etc just ask here
that one torrent mission where we go down the stairs or get nurgled, i missed, and the shield went all the way to the bottom
i've just been messing around with stuff. i like the high peril Sword+bubble builds
silo
i think the main mechanic you may not be fully appreciating is stacking uncanny with soulblaze

glad people are abusing it now
to the demonstration folder it goes

why is inferno staff is so much stronger than any other, even combined
cleave
ive been playng with voidblast for my whole life
its uncanny that makes it good
now ive equipped inferno just test it and it does gorillion damage
its good without uncanny, maybe not against crushers but it still dominates everything else because of infinite cleave
with brain rupture + passive
even through bulwark shields
inferno is still really good for trash clearing on its own, but ye the absolute power house of it comes from interactions that weren't really planned
if they nerf uncanny interacting with DoTs it wont be meta anymore
so you swap to the Deimos with Uncanny and it works for your dots from Inferno?
i thought they fixed that
you just spam your fire and random balls explode because of your passive
you can also see that the push attack gives you uncanny stacks
and staggers crushers
and keeps your peril up
and yet, people would rather have an inferno bubble psyker than an inferno shriek psyker 😔
quick brb btw dom
what is Shriek doing there aside from CC?
overcapping soulblaze
inferno can only stack up to 15 (16) stacks
shriek goes up to 31
i see
Love to see another Uncanny Smack Bang In The Middle Enjoyer
at 85% peril shriek will apply 6 stacks of extra soulblaze on top of infernos capped
83.5%
incredible
uncanny strike and what? mine has Slaughterer, which i assume is right
deflector or superiority
what i use for bubble ferno slave
However I prefer to stack my uncanny using special and then getting domed by a crusher 
Ye. 83.5% peril but due rounding shriek at 85% with default UI.
you will notice this is one of the variations of what i posted
I will not
the build is always the same 28 points then the last 2 vary
What two points is it
so much shoot
catmiral has spent the 2 on warp ghost and ER
Ty
with bubble you take ER, without bubble you dont
Penetration of the Soul sounds like a good talent on paper, but i assume it's garbage on use?
Most things don't benefit from it
it is indeed
I think I have some notes about it in the guide
Its not even that good on paper
more like skin deep
Rending is pretty cracked on the melee jobs
you just dont need it with uncanny
but on just warp, that doesn't sound useful

Look at the ADM part of the bonanza
and due to the ADMs on the various warp stuff you have access to, it just does nothing
Anything that's 100%+ gets 1/4 benefit
it does like six just said
Do you know if this is base damage
Or additive with most sources like pretty much everything but strength is
oh then it's just not enough to matter and on not enough things
Have you tried usingvtrauma staff for a change?
What do you mean?
yucky cheater mods
but uncanny makes it do over 100% by itself
so, just stack uncanny and fuck off POTS
makes sense
Uncanny needs a significant nerf.
well increasing your armour pen increases your base damage, which scales better with damage multipliers like perfect timing, right? so does the extra damage something like uncanny gives when you're over 100% also count as base damage
HERESY
i don't like nerfing things, they should make other blessings not suck
they have to have a pick rate statistic on their end
I believe it counts as a % damage increase additively, but I can confirm.
though to be fair they should FIX it
there is nothing to be fixed
this same mechanic applies to so much stuff, its a core mechanic of the game
Rending shockwave does it better tho
both 🙂
i have been experimenting with a rending + SG + POTS charges build in havoc
is pretty good honestly
soon ™
Do you know how much adm voidblast has vs carapace?
I do.
Remember the days before the big uncanny buff and DS buff. When they were still psyker exclusives and hit kinda like wet noodles?
what is adm?
Armor damage modifier
i see
speaking of damage calcs and fatshark's immaculate coding, this was annoying me earlier. like why doesnt the 10% crit damage perk give as much as i'd expect
I forgot 
green is psykhanium values and the red(ish) colour is trying to account for rounding
There's code to make crits function strangely. Like, to force crits to happen or not happen
Or prevent crit strings
id expect (385-97)*0.1+385= 413.8 to be the value with the crit damage perk but its missing ~7 damage
Okay, going by Kuli's writings, anything above 100% ADM is an additive damage modifier.
what curios are you guys using? i'm using 3x17% toughness...but i do have 21% healths, and 3 stams
(assuming I interpreted correctly, and I am slightly drunk, so that's not guaranteed)
btw six
all stam, all stam regen, all sprint efficiency, all block efficiency

ill have a look
If thats the case then PotS is pointless
always has been
it was just a tax node
"The rending surplus of 1.25-1=0.25 is then converted into a generic damage buff at a quarter of its value. So the attack now deals 320+320x(0.25x0.25)=340 damage total to the Carapace-armored hit zone."
What if we all run variations of this.
No one would hear anything.
is what i suggest for rending + flurry voidblast with FGS
PotS is a maximum 25% damage increase to flak and carapace on Voidblast.
Unless you dont use rending shockwave then fair enough but tgen why would you not use of the best brittle aplication sources in the game
you can also drop battle med for POTS to get +5% dmg on the trauma
Brittle does that
What is this build?
yall are gaslightning people
rending + flurry blast with duelling sword / knife
I know. I believe I put in the guide that I would only recommend using PotS on blazing spirit Voidblast, and even then it's iffy.
that doesnt tell us if its additive with other damage buffs (I think - I'm also 4 beers deep rn)
proof?
and, again, you can take pots
i never saw psyker with any other scepter
It looks like additive to me.
on havoc 40
it gives about 5% more dmg on the trauma
I use both rending & blazing 
You disgust me.
i was just maining arbi with vet and now decided to try psyker
surge surge works fine on h40, so does blazing trauma, or rending trauma with an inferno psyker teammate
its not inferno thats broken, its the interaction of soulblaze with uncanny
so does the game timer.
Inferno has infinite cleave, and Uncanny is broken.
Ideally, Inferno would just clear trash mobs and be useless against armored enemies.
which, IT IS
If you aren't using uncanny.
but the CORE MECHANIC in the game of blessings applying to current sources of damage makes it work
"The rending surplus of 1.25-1=0.25 is then converted into a generic damage buff at a quarter of its value."
"Generic damage buff" implies additive but he doesnt explicitly say
" So the attack now deals 320+320x(0.25x0.25)=340 damage total to the Carapace-armored hit zone."
in testing i get about 5% damage increase using POTS with rending trauma.
That's the important part

Correction; kill everything relatively fast exept bulwarks & crushers
If team has good frontloaded damage then inferno should be useless vs armor. Otherwise...
i wish there was a talent that would make overperil explode the zealot, or another team mate ins tead of you
Yeah that 5% dmg could be something better imo
sadly the explosion collars are on us not them
Inferno is just too good at killing most things. It's a one-size-fits-all firestick
Question.
Does the 10% ranged damage node apply to VB RMB?
The previous +5% ranged damage node did not.
i have never played without it, but i could test
though, not now
i need to go be adult
awww
I should have been in bed hours ago. 
559 kills away
and he bails
thats additive with base. it doesnt tell you what happens with other buffs. what im wondering is if another buff, eg perfect timing, would be (1.15+0.25x.025)x320 or (0.25x0.25x320)x1.15x320
You mean sweet summer grandpa.
Just no stagger so if you end up in a position you cannot escape from you lose; uncanny semi prevents that cause it nullifies negative adm basically
Thats why imo trauma > inferno
but you have your force sword pushing for uncanny stacks
Oh thats me 
which is strong stagger
or, more simply, (1.15+0.0625)x320 or 1.15x340
I mean grandpas are too

Here you go
i cant read code 🙁
ask chatgpt.
thats why i annoy you lot do ingame testing
Some of them have that crazy old man strength.
its just if/then statements, its not that bad
Worth checking
Going by the code, it appears to be separate from other damage multipliers
if you guys havent got there before me i will test later this eve
It's a unique variable of overdamage_rending_multiplier
which is applied at the same time as rending
the grandpa flavors
can easily chuck 80lb bags around
or
yells up a lung getting out of the chair
So it does seem to modify the base damage before other modifiers are applied
local rending_damage = damage * (rended_armor_damage_multiplier - armor_damage_modifier)
hell yeah
rended_armor_damage_multiplier = armor_damage_modifier + rending_multiplier * overdamage_rending_multiplier
So its worse vs carapace?
suspicions confirmed
It would mean, assuming I am interpreting correctly, that if you have, say, 30% rending on a Voidblast staff, your damage would count as 102.5% damage before other multipliers instead of 80%
damage = damage * rended_armor_damage_multiplier
yep so if you did 102 damage instead of 100, that 2 damage is multiplied by your other damage talents, instead of it just counting as +2% to your total additive damage, eg, 10% melee node would give you 112.2 instead of 112
gamechanger 
gamechanger (ive spend an hour and figured how to get 5% more dmg with trauma scepter instead of using inferno)

It does seem to be the case, yes
mafs
Because voidblast is explosion damage, no? 
Damn I'm so smart 
how do you handle crushers as gun psyker?
sword
i see
You use your melee or cry
do people use the Obscurus at all?
i've been using it recently over the deimos and have been liking it
usually there is a split between obscuras and deimos
both are very good
1 substantial difference;
Deimos can stunlock enemies with special spam, obscurus will not
is one curio enough to counter the Empyric Resolve -30% Toughness Replenished?
the +30% toughness regen thing
Never use toughness regen speed
its dogshit
i thought it was good? i always used it on Ogryn
Old news
No longer relevant in any way
what should i replace it with? -gunner?
Pretty sure Deimos push attack has more stagger too
I recommend, in no particular order, +cooldown, -gunner damage, +toughness, +revive speed
Always 2x gunner rez
Always 3x cdr
Always 2 -3x toughness
Always 1 - 2x revive speed
revive speed?
Depending on your health and priorities, +HP is not bad to break 100hp too
it works on unnets and cliffhangers now to, and rescues
Its good, also counts as assist speed now
i see
so its actually handy now
Only on psyker
Cause passive dr
Well I use it on vet so..
i haven't played seriously in a really long time
Vet needs hp curio
And I don't use
Finally someone else recommending rez speed
Lol
officially 3/4 to poxbreaker
Rather have stamina curio over hp
Damn 😨 I've got like 82k kills left
I'm sub 50k to PB iirc, finish it off with the British femboy
Good for deadshot builds & less micromanaging of it
I'm also not using deadshot xd
Never goon shirt but it says never deadshot instead
Not gonna tank a second pox burster if I take HP curio so no point
But atleast you won’t get 1 shot; psyker does not need hp curio due to lower toughness max than vet & 10% dr talent
vintage 50(1) staff
imagine using right click on EK 
it wasn't bad back when i got this lol, Warp Flurry would cover it
that right there is a good surge surge stave
CRINGE AND UNBASED
What are you on about
It might not be enough
If only there was a boi who would test h40 poxburster dmg on vet with just 5% hp
nvm im stupid
It is enough
good jk
i noticed there's still no -20% burster damage curio
it's cool, we have pox hound and mutant
psykers have EE for those last two
I prefer to have more hp; if you have 120 toughness you don’t need more tbh; its a sweetspot for h40 and vet can get 150+ so getting more hp will be better potentially due to chip dmg & lack of dr; all he has is tdr
Make every class a psyker
Gold prevent chip

It does but many things may happen
You're saying this like I haven't run this goofy ah shit for months
I'd let you know glaring weaknesses
And you won’t always have it since TA nerf & golden timer being nerfed too
Like, it really doesn't appreciate dog modifier
It was just my opinion (like that one dude in borderlands 2)
Too many dog
Or shooters… we need those…
In my experience the things you die to generally aren't chip very often
Unless you count gunner as chip
Lol
Chips you down at mach 1
Sandblaster
So I prefer stamina, both for moving and making up for the bad stamina of PS
Yeah and I usually die to a crusher walking an overhead, a friendly shooting a barrel or someone not dealing with a burster
Mix in the occasional skill issue with ragers for flavour
ah ragers
Assuming psyker doesn't just lmb
Which is skill issue not on my part
But his
Lmao
Crushers walking overheads is probably my favourite
This a nice meme
Tiny bit of stamina
all meme no damage
it may aswell actually be a hose bc it does nothing
this better?
That you can use to whip ppl atleast
WHOMST doesnt want to restore 20% toughness on crit kill?
how could that not be OP?!?
It says 16
Tbh its a good blessing
as if im not running ghost with this rubbish kekw
Oh yeah that's a thing
Weapon does alot of dmg on crit & weakspots, is a crit weapon too
I used it on zel with piety
I love it on my meleeker
Im a newb to Inferno Psyker - does my soulblaze stacks gain bonus from Uncanny Strike on my dueling sword?
Yes
Dang thats crazy, nice
Best part is; the dmg of the shots is very small until you crit which usually kills the enemy & gives you the bonus
Its rending applied to you, the person rather than the weapon
Uncanny is just a silly little guy
dumb question, does it matter if I aim my flames at enemies head?
