psyker-class

[ripe obsidian]

I think I have some shriek melee builds

[hearty saffron]

hello nerds. i have a friend that is trying to come back to darktide and pick up psyker again. anyone got a learner friendly force greatsword / flame staff build i could show them?

theres the big book but

ah ok book has one

thanks nerd chat

[ripe obsidian]

I tried to put every build I could think of in there

[royal totem]

what a sus name lmao

(it's not mine btw)

[quiet inlet]

that'sa good one!

[royal totem]

@deft stump brb bio

[long wharf]

not as good as "Lexual Assault"

[royal totem]

Lexual Assault is kinda cringe ngl

[strong gulch]

@autumn smelt Do you know when the heavy sword attack pattern changed?

[nocturne wasp]

Puns are funny but dark humor is not for public

[quiet inlet]

type 2 diarbetes is one I wish I came up with

[autumn smelt]

did it??

thats news to me

[strong gulch]

Well heck.

@quiet inlet says it's different. He has played a lot of HS but hasn't been using it as much recently. He said it could have been patches ago that it was changed.

I was hoping you'd know something.

Also should note that this is about the mk7 HS.

More info.

Used to PA into L4 and is now PA into L2.

[strong gulch]

Game was laggy enough that FGS bars filled up on nothing. lmao

[ripe obsidian]

Oof

I hate that

[strong gulch]

Things were dead but "alive". lol

[ripe obsidian]

How the hell does the Enhanced penance work?

I have regained more than 96% toughness while stimmed

[quiet inlet]

you have to use the bottom left tree

[ripe obsidian]

:(

[quiet inlet]

top left,, sorry

[ripe obsidian]

I say >:( to that

[quiet inlet]

I just ground it out by putting 50% into the top left, then getting thrashed, then using stim

[royal totem]

i finished all the others for stims except that one

that one is taking me forever

[quiet inlet]

yeah, it was a bit of a pain. I was working it just now for the chianmail

[strong gulch]

Thanks again fatshark for confusing language.

[quiet inlet]

werf it

[nocturne wasp]

Everything gets translated from Finnish. Some things get lost.

[strong gulch]

Sure, but that have the words. They just don't attach them to anything.

[royal totem]

they basically cook up a random word stew

[strong gulch]

Cartel Special for example. apparently that's the stimm lab

[ripe obsidian]

It is not referred to as Cartel Special anywhere in-game

Ha

[strong gulch]

Also many penances use the old names for stuff that they themselves changed.

[nocturne wasp]

Oh just no housekeeping, I get it

[white sky]

Its being under the effect of your stimm

Confused the fuck outta me for 12 hours

[royal totem]

i just assumed it was that cuz i think i'm getting used to fatshark's verbal garbage

[strong gulch]

If it just said stimm lab, that'd be fine.

Or somewhere on the stimm lab screen saying in obvious lettering Cartel Special.

[white sky]

I think "when sliding gain melee attack immunity" is wildly funny cause that is absolutely not what that perk does

[thick venture]

Is the fire psyker still good?

[strong gulch]

always

[thick venture]

Is there a pinned build for it?

[ripe obsidian]

"Sliding puts Hive Scum into is_dodging state against enemy melee attacks. This effect lasts for the duration of the sliding action and since it allows for automatically dodging enemy melee attacks, it is able to trigger weapon blessings and talents that proc on_successful_dodge like Float Like a Butterfly, Quick and Deadly, Regained Posture, and Untouchable."

[strong gulch]

Unless there is another fire psyker.

Look in the pins

[thick venture]

I want something that makes enemies purify in flames

[white sky]

Sure, you're not immune to melee damage tho

[royal totem]

yeah it's not as broken as i originally thought lmao

[thick venture]

What am I looking for

[royal totem]

build bonanza. there is fire build. and it's still really really good

[strong gulch]

the pin that says builds

build bonanza

[nocturne wasp]

If not immunity what do

I am very invested

[thick venture]

I used to use a quell fire build which one is that?

[royal totem]

couldn't tell you. idk what a quell fire build even is.

[thick venture]

You used to get shield from quelling your warp sickness while getting a damage boost from getting warp sickness

While burning things

[nocturne wasp]

[thick venture]

Is there a way to do that again I just wanna do that

All of this looks different

[strong gulch]

Does shield mean toughness or the ability telekine shield?

[thick venture]

Toughness

[nocturne wasp]

Trees were altered semi recently, but youll probably be able to it better this time round

[thick venture]

😭

[nocturne wasp]

Just, you know, read the nodes

[strong gulch]

Then you are likely asking for is an inferno shriek build with quietude.

It's in the pins / build bonanza.

Quietude is often left out, but you can just choose it.

[thick venture]

Is that this one?

I'm trying to find that specific build but I'm in a rush and my friends are waiting in a lobby to play and I cannot becuase my build is deleted

[strong gulch]

Yes, but is that what you're looking for?

[thick venture]

Is that the one you mentioned?

[strong gulch]

again yes

[thick venture]

Ok tysm!!!!!!

[quiet inlet]

six doesn't need to be level 30 to pull off mega clutches

[ripe obsidian]

I have the power of crab walk

hey what the hell

I have points in the roughness regen tree of the stimm

Still no progress

[royal totem]

ok i'm blacklisting any vet that refuses to take field improv -_-

[ripe obsidian]

?????

[quiet inlet]

dafuq

that penance is either bugged or cursed

[fierce crest]

god i love field improv

[royal totem]

it's VERY cursed

[royal totem]

ME FUCKING TOO

[fierce crest]

this post made by 20 nukes gang

[royal totem]

it's so good especially in blight spreads. you can just nuke a field of green enemies before they can come drop their poop

and in blight spreads the corruption healing on medicrate is also so good

"but Nemui, i can take a damage node instead and do more damage"

yeah STFU you ain't even good at killing the specials -_-

3 big reasons to bring a vet and they can't even fulfill one. smh

[fierce crest]

krak grenades

[royal totem]

they weren't using krak

[fierce crest]

:(

[royal totem]

they weren't using smokes either

[fierce crest]

shredders are good

theyre just the least cool

[royal totem]

i'm not even sure i saw them throw a grenade at all actually

like i guess they probs did but i can't confirm it

but if they had kraks......

they probably wouldn't have died to the chaos spawn 😏

or gotten swallowed by the burgle

oh wait no. i remember now. they had frags but they kinda only panic throw which was "i'm gonna toss these at bosses"

[nocturne wasp]

[royal totem]

if you're going to be bad at being a vet, at least gimme field improv please. my mind is having trouble coping with the influx of vets that refuse to give me improv

[plucky flax]

Sry was me

[royal totem]

time to flame Agent lmao

[quiet inlet]

gotta shepherd the scum, for they are weak

[nocturne wasp]

Hello my shephard for I am your flock

[quiet inlet]

helping new scum through heresy and damnation has been a pretty good time

[royal totem]

i can't believe i got double burstered

didn't see them coming

[quiet inlet]

bursters have been as fucking cracked out as the gangers

[royal totem]

i think one of them started the event before we were actually ready

i was trying to get the bomber -_-

[vestal trench]

i fucking hate bursters this patch

[quiet inlet]

that would make too much sense

it's more fun (for them) when I have to fight the captain whilst standing in fire

[strong gulch]

dogs too

[royal totem]

they somehow feel more glitchy

[strong gulch]

trappers shooting through more walls too

[vestal trench]

hive scum's generally been a good time outside of poxbursters having way more range and push slide being unreliable

[royal totem]

why do they need to worry? big strong ogryn will carry them

[vestal trench]

but it's to the point i'm already bouncing off of the game again

what good is getting good when poxburster counterplay is praying

[strong gulch]

bombers more silent

[royal totem]

actually i think multiple of my downs could be attributed to the scum

lel

[vestal trench]

sin was a prophet (quitting)

jk lmao

i cant be too hard on scum

[strong gulch]

So it's not just me.

[vestal trench]

theyre the new psykers after the tree rework gave them the arbites treatment

the original psykers rather

gone are the days of get caught lacking into death true combo

[strong gulch]

Should be big dodges and yet even with shivs it's like gambling.

[vestal trench]

no fr!

sometimes they pounce from way farther than what im used to too

worst part being im not even sure if these changes have been confirmed to be inteded or not 🥴

[royal totem]

probably not intended

a lot more people have been shooting bursters too

my job as a vet is to just give the hive scum field improv 🙂

[nocturne wasp]

I just want friendly tox bursts not to ledge me

[vestal trench]

im also wondering how they're gonna nerf the chem bomb

[royal totem]

i played scum in havoc today btw

[nocturne wasp]

How was it

[royal totem]

most likely duration

it would still be strong but just wouldn't be as broken if duration was less. imo

[gusty furnace]

been so long since I've played psyker I call this shit trauma staff

what was the point in renaming it fatshark

[royal totem]

tthough i don't really mind the strength of chem bomb personally

[gusty furnace]

Makes rocket launcher feel like a stupid pick

At least blinders are infinite

[royal totem]

yeah rocket launcher is kinda weak

[nocturne wasp]

I will pick rocket on my crowbar melee build for vibes

[royal totem]

i won. except for me and the psyker the rest of the team was useless

[gusty furnace]

ah, the Half-Life 2 special

[royal totem]

THE VET DIDNT EVEN BRING FIELD IMPROV

and neither was he good at shooting specials

what a baddie

[gusty furnace]

what's the cleave on plasma gun these days again?

50

right?

[royal totem]

yeah

[nocturne wasp]

All the cleave

[gusty furnace]

Shouldn't be hard to hit specials with THAT going for you

[royal totem]

you........

[gusty furnace]

Though vet is also something I haven't played in years

[nocturne wasp]

I use Hellbore

[royal totem]

still have to aim correctly

[gusty furnace]

so maybe people hate plasma gun

[royal totem]

i'm just saying

[nocturne wasp]

Hellbore is a vibe AND one of the best picks

[royal totem]

like if you aim at a special it'll punch through a few walkers to hit it probs

but that's IF you aim correctly

[gusty furnace]

I mean I don't really trust anyone in this game to be fair

Everyone's garbage until proven otherwise

I just expect my teammates to be sandbags

[royal totem]

yeah. i'm a bottom 10% player so idk

[strong gulch]

sandbags rise up

[royal totem]

hellbore doesn't fit my playstyle

i remember back when havoc 24 was so hard for me i had to get Six AND potato to come carry me to victory

[nocturne wasp]

My favorite is when ypu can just tell from the get go theyre gonna be a pain. Like they spawn in already holding W and hit the ground running, so I just afk to see how long it takes for them to notice.
Always takes them until they get downed to even check where their other 3 teammates are

If there wasn't a cap on the block list I'd block every one of em

[royal totem]

so many hive scum nyoom ahead at mach 10

i blocked the vet that didn't take field improv

[nocturne wasp]

This has been my constant experience even before Scum dropped

[royal totem]

and this is on the blight spreads

where corruption cleanse is really fucking nice

[gusty furnace]

return of the knife zealot

[royal totem]

and then you see a martyrdom zealot with full corruption lmao

[royal totem]

yeah plenty of idiots play like that.

but honestly, i just let them die

i've had 3 scum decide to run ahead of me and just all die before

and i just let them while i calmly kill things

and then pick them up at the respawn point

[nocturne wasp]

I would, but 90% of the time the rest of the team just tries to keep up instead of doing so. Which leaves me alone to fend off the hordes of punishment specials by myself

[royal totem]

in damnation i just don't care

[nocturne wasp]

Yes low tiers are whatever

[royal totem]

auric since i'm normally with at least 1 person i know that person norms sticks with me

with 2 people it's whatevs

in havoc well....... it's a loss but i just block them

i've been playing havocs in the 20s so i can't actually derank

I dont play auric with 3 randoms. At most two

[nocturne wasp]

You make it sound like you can choose to que into havic without a party

[royal totem]

Ive qped it before

So sure i guess

[nocturne wasp]

How

The big thing keeping me from playing havoc is the party requirment

[gusty furnace]

not me only playing with randoms

[nocturne wasp]

I meant havoc oop

[gusty furnace]

While you can't QP into havoc

you do get a party finder

which is just randoms with an extra step

[nocturne wasp]

In game lfg has always been a Shitshow in any online game

Those closest I've seen to functional lfg is lfg text channels

[royal totem]

Oh havoc. I just apply to parties in party finder

[nocturne wasp]

Before we played I hadnt done one yet so nobody would accept me

[royal totem]

Ah yeah that happens. Can always host ur own

[nocturne wasp]

True, but If I host and I get a douchebag random I'm just folding the mission

[gusty furnace]

I don't think I've really met any truly awful people in havocs

mostly just people in above their skill level

Which can be frustrating in the moment, but ultimately whatever

[royal totem]

I have.

Many in fact

[nocturne wasp]

Low skill means nothing to me. Being high skill but thinking it means you can ignore the team = worse than simply being bad at the game in my eyes

[gusty furnace]

The amount of 3 dead clutches I've had to do

in the last uh, 2 days

it almost seems worth it to ignore the team

[nocturne wasp]

Good teamwork will avoid the need to clutch more times than not

[royal totem]

I cant solo carry so i stick with team

[nocturne wasp]

Even if you can clutch. Better to avoid having to do it in the first place

[royal totem]

Theres a certain lvl of bad that statement dorsnt apply

[gusty furnace]

I sorta can. Depends on the map

Like the assassination maps? Yeah probably not

Layouts are too fucked etc

[royal totem]

There are people that refuse to push bursters or other things

[gusty furnace]

But hab dreyko isn't an issue

[royal totem]

So i dont stick with them

[nocturne wasp]

That is an exceptionally rare degree of ineptitude.
Like " my SO who only plays the Sims wants to try my game" bad

[royal totem]

Last event kinda is

Depending on seed

[royal totem]

Ive run into truly dogshit players even in havoc

Like martyrdom ogryn

[quiet inlet]

I want a martyrdom ogryn

[royal totem]

No you dont

Any ogryn that runs 3 wound curios in havoc fcking needs them

There was a vet that used inf auto

And used true survivor and shout as bait

Point is, people in this game are untrustworthy

Its why i can hardly be assed to climb havoc

[nocturne wasp]

True. There is a reason I almost exclusively play VT solo private

[wispy bay]

I did many h35+ with IAR.

[nocturne wasp]

And the lack of it being an option in DT plays a big part in why I don't.

[royal totem]

Err sorry most vets already suck with plasma gun

Saying you did h35+ with it doesnt magically make 90% of vets magically good

Or mean they should do it

Kinda a pet peeve when you say something is bad and a good player says they play with it successfully. It only basically says youre the exception and not the norm and doesnt change the fact most will suck at it anyways.

[nocturne wasp]

[strong gulch]

165
165

[wispy bay]

I'm also suck, just in different ways.

[ripe obsidian]

We are all suck on this blessed day

[strong gulch]

IT ME

CAPS

it me

practicing bonesaw on crushers rn

I'm gonna die in a real mission. 🫡

[nocturne wasp]

That's the fun of it

[wispy bay]

I passed H35+ with many dumb things before, mostly in pub, it is just down to cautiousness.

[strong gulch]

Turns out there's a H3 after a push cancel on bonesaw. Can two 2 of those ripping attacks back to back. I didn't find it. I saw it in a vid.

[strong gulch]

Got H35 today?

[wispy bay]

Before, I haven't restarted havoc yet.

[strong gulch]

oh gotcha

[wispy bay]

Considering my performance from not playing for a while.

Not great

[strong gulch]

previous season(s)

[wispy bay]

Btw, Havoc is now 1 year old.

[strong gulch]

wtf

[jovial juniper]

Good enough
Let's kill it

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-why-i-said-that-beavis-mike-judge's-beavis-and-butt-head-s2-e3-i-have-no-idea-why-i-uttered-that-gif-12241195367287297129

[dull scroll]

it really has been one year 🤔

[nocturne wasp]

I still need that for the pretty green icon thing

[plucky flax]

Did you not miss any week?

[ripe obsidian]

Atoma Prim

[icy breach]

cause it is worse; 36% gunner rez is enough for any class - 3 is redundant
better grab revive spd

[ripe obsidian]

No.

[wraith sphinx]

Nothing is redundant in the unknowable horror of auric quickplay

[patent jacinth]

Don't care, I'm running 60% anyway

More is better than less

[icy breach]

even in havoc 2 gun rez is perfect - no need to have 3

[patent jacinth]

There is a need

I want it

[icy breach]

ahh see there is the caveat;
needing & wanting are 2 different things

[patent jacinth]

Nope

The want creates the need

[plucky flax]

3x sniper resistance

Tank sniper shots

[patent jacinth]

I am running 60% gunner res and you will not stop me

[icy breach]

you might need smth but you dont want it
example; fruits & vegetables as a kid

[wraith sphinx]

Randoms close their eyes and pretend gunners do not exist

I need it

[patent jacinth]

A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square

Something I want is something I need but something I need is not something I want

[icy breach]

and
you want smth even tho you don't need it
example; excess food despite having a full fridge at home

[icy breach]

stubborness is a brother of foolishness
no offence

[patent jacinth]

Are you actually taking me seriously

[icy breach]

nah

[wraith sphinx]

This is a super serious chat

[icy breach]

i'm like... half serious now

[wraith sphinx]

No jokes allowed

[icy breach]

tbh tho... i think there is a breakpoint in havoc that allows you to tank a shot as human characters (ogryn not human)

[wraith sphinx]

Personally I run 3x gunner resist because I already have 3x cdr and one rez speed perks, can't fathom what else could I possibly need, and is nice to have when I'm clutching

[icy breach]

5% toughness x3

never enough the most important stat in the game

[patent jacinth]

3 gunner res lets me play stupid

[plucky flax]

I run 1x sniper resist in havoc and I can tank 1 sniper shot with full toughness

Maybe 2 as arby

[wraith sphinx]

Unnecessary on auric with current psyker balance

[plucky flax]

Boi is tanky

[rare plank]

Can anyone help me lvl my psyker

[wraith sphinx]

I have so much tg and tdr already

[patent jacinth]

I can do all sorts of silly things i couldn't if I didn't take half damage

[rare plank]

I don't have auric yet 😭

[icy breach]

you can tank them regadless of sniper rez cause TG

[icy breach]

does pain give you clarity my child?

[summer prairie]

Looks like the ovenproof plugin guy finally added the blitz as a separate category so you can use that instead

[plucky flax]

Is it better than yours?

[summer prairie]

Well he took the blitz damage templates from my latest version and made the row a toggle and cleaned the code (of the whole mod), so it's better to use currently.

[plucky flax]

Based and real

[languid furnace]

Sure, you still need help?

[burnt hull]

What are you best primary Fire staff builds ? I’m experimenting right now but not sure about some choices

[ripe obsidian]

Builds in the pins.

[acoustic jacinth]

Check pins for EK. If you mean the M1 warp ball you shoot, EK staff with surge + SG with precog + DD. There's a section at the end for this specific case (iirc agent chaos showcased this)

[stoic solar]

Doesnt x3 gunner resist get diminishing returns? I used to load them up on my Ogryn but barely saw a difference between 1x and 2x or 2x vs 3x

Appreciate thats an Ogryn though. Didn't then try it on my Psyk.

[acoustic jacinth]

I personally run 3x 5% toughness, 3x cdr, 2x gunner res and 1x health on pretty much everything

[weary crane]

I love how tox gas still takes your health even when immune to corruption from stim box

[tardy pumice]

how does flamer psyker deal with ranged?

for example sniper

[marble crater]

With Brain Burst

[tardy pumice]

but that takes so long to charge

or do i get some talent later on that decreases the time?

[marble crater]

Or shriek, or dodge sliding to get in range or from cover to cover

Sniper I would use Brain Burst, for gunners I would try to get closer and then use Shriek, or if you can't get close kill one or two with Brain Burst and then the rest will die from soulblaze because of Perilous Combustion

[wraith sphinx]

Assail

[tardy pumice]

ok another question, what is the benefit of force sword?

ive been using duelling sword up until now

[marble crater]

You can block bullets with deflector, you can knock crushers on their ass with the push attack, you can do funny uncanny tech to deal more damage to crushers with your flame staff

[deft stump]

And you can emergency press x to quell without swapping.

And illisi lets you do things in lifts.

[tardy pumice]

how? push attack?

oh nvm

just ive tried and doesnt work

[marble crater]

How to which part?

[tardy pumice]

yea sry nvm that message

and how does it block bullets?

[marble crater]

With the deflector blessing

[tardy pumice]

ah

[summer prairie]

2 scum and 2 psykers is kind of fun

2 needlers, 2 chem grenades, purg, bubble knight

trauma probably amusing with chem grenades too though

[tardy pumice]

how to solo daemonhost?

i just get stunlocked

[summer prairie]

Depends on what you are running, but with FS + peril block, quell while dodging or when you get distance. Damage is hard but with purg you can lmb every now and then to reapply stacks. You can also run around specific geometry or e.g. go through windows to force her to take a different path

[tardy pumice]

whats peril block? im running flamer staff

[summer prairie]

kinetic deflection

[tardy pumice]

whats that?

also im using force sword

[summer prairie]

a node

[tardy pumice]

ah ok

[acoustic jacinth]

Daemonhost is best to be learnt naturally via moveset pattern recognition (it cannot do the swipe flurry nonstop, there exists a cooldown) but as syllogism said psyker can make this fight far more forgiving via kinetic deflection

You can essentially block everything you need to in case you panic

Though later on with better teams you won't see much of dh

It's just, pugs.

[tardy pumice]

ok ty

btw why is flamer staff more meta than for example void staff? it seems really good too and it has better ranged with normal attacks

and the blasts are really good aoe

[acoustic jacinth]

Inferno staff is the best due to it having practically infinite cleave through hordes, stagger on demand, nonstop soulblaze uptime, crit applying to sb ticks (infinite empathic evasion) plus lots of other synergies. And its only weakness, carapace? Just take uncanny on your melee and you're solid (hell, more than that, you can melt carapace safely)

Voidstrike is unfortunately meh at best

Voidblast is great

A good alternative if inferno is boring you

[tardy pumice]

damn so much to learn

idk what soulblaze is

[acoustic jacinth]

Soulblaze is the blue fire

[plucky flax]

Its the op dot

[acoustic jacinth]

And that's my bad, i am not good at simplifying things

[plucky flax]

Take all soulblaze talents put blaze away warp nexus on purg and call it a day

[tardy pumice]

its ok i understood mostly

[plucky flax]

Mfw wildfire was bugged and my damage tanked

[acoustic jacinth]

Lmao

[tardy pumice]

btw is there a way to see a hp bar above mobs? or is that modded

[acoustic jacinth]

Mfw it was causing dh to go nuts on me

[tardy pumice]

i see tanner lindberg has that

[acoustic jacinth]

Healthbar mod

Mods are very prevelant in darktide community

[haughty star]

I like electrokinetic. personally while effective purg just puts me to sleep

[acoustic jacinth]

But they are so-so right now since we just had a major patch

It's not easy for the modders to catch up so quick

It's a lot of work

[haughty star]

Do darktide mods still need to be manually loaded?

[tardy pumice]

can i have mods in vanilla version of the game? or will i be booted to a sandbox version

[acoustic jacinth]

No, you can, it's fine

Not like VT

[tardy pumice]

nice ty

[acoustic jacinth]

Brb, gotta go eat

[tardy pumice]

bon appetit

[mighty cipher]

EE doesn’t apply on SB tick?

It also doesn’t apply on Dry-fire crit

That one sent me on a build reevaluation bender last night which was not fun.

[mighty cipher]

None of Psyker’s talents do except technically true strike if you want to be pedantic.

[dull scroll]

I don't think so 😌

[mighty cipher]

Also I’m not crazy when I say that old Kinetic Flayer didn’t proc on SB tick right?

It had to be a direct impact from a player?

[marble crater]

Not crazy about that at least

[mighty cipher]

Okay because the same guy that said this about EE said that about KF and I nearly went off the deep end.

[summer prairie]

you should disregard everything that person said

[mighty cipher]

Yeah I am now

[marble crater]

Kinetic Flayer and Perilous Combustion working with soulblaze ticks now is one of the best changes they have made in the past months

[mighty cipher]

I KNOW RIGHT?

Also nice E33 reference in your profile.

[marble crater]

Going to watch the Game Awards just to see how many that game wins

[mighty cipher]

Clean sweep or it’s rigged

Entirely deserved as well

[marble crater]

Okay nevermind, the awards are in the middle of the night, guess I will watch it the next day and avoid gaming content until I am back home

[mighty cipher]

How long does it take to max stack SB to a target directly in the stream of an inferno staff?

[summer prairie]

5s or so

[marble crater]

Few seconds, it's not long

[summer prairie]

you can see the application rate if you inspect the weapon

[mighty cipher]

I’ve been messing around with dropping Nexus and EE for something else. If you aren’t at least a little lucky the uptime isn’t infinite on horde even with Nexus and all the applicable crit buffs.

I would know because my luck is so shit I thought it couldn’t refresh mid activation until recently.

[plucky flax]

Nerd

[acoustic jacinth]

Oh yeah

https://tenor.com/view/paddock-gif-26187701

[patent mango]

lmao melee psyker makes melee scum feel less liek a glass cannon and more like a glass pistol or smth

[acoustic jacinth]

Meleeker is nuts

[patent mango]

yea

[acoustic jacinth]

Bubble knight's sanctuary + DD makes chip damage a challenge for the heretics

[mighty cipher]

I’d say that’s just FGS being overtuned as fuck

[acoustic jacinth]

It's everything imo

So much toughness gen

Just for breathing

[patent mango]

i mean scums melee isnt as good as its ranged build either

its just kinda eh

[acoustic jacinth]

I can't say about scum sadly not my kinda class

But i will wait for people's opinions

I think it's too early to be very biased

[patent mango]

i mean its fun but it doesnt feel like it do enough damig

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah i dunno

People keep talking in extremes

[zealous wing]

desperado + uzis, you could outdamage the inferno psyker

[acoustic jacinth]

See

[patent mango]

yea i dont think ranged scum needs buffs

[wraith sphinx]

more f savant f anarchist

[zealous wing]

not at all

[patent mango]

melee scum is like ehhh though

[acoustic jacinth]

The sheer difference in players opinions rn makes me wanna wait a little till people can agree on concensus pretty much

[zealous wing]

meleescum is fine honestly. no severe horde clear option but i can go melee a plogryn to death so

[acoustic jacinth]

Savant beef? Amazing

[patent mango]

yeah its just like decent

[acoustic jacinth]

I gotta play more

Curious to see what my judge zealot has to say

About hs

I expect a fight

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah Savants don't like anarchist scum

[dull scroll]

Rich coming from the guy that pumped out over 200+ vids nonstop for this game 😏

[plucky flax]

Probably mistook me for some guy with same character name.

I get carried by karien.

[mighty cipher]

Savant HATES these people and they hate him and it’s awesome

[graceful slate]

Idk about you guys but

I have a feeling that damnation is harder than aurics

When.. The latter should be harder, idk, just a weird feeling I hope

[mighty cipher]

It’s cause your teammates are shit*(Respectfully)*

[zealous wing]

ye i was gonna say, the seceret modifier

randoms

[mighty cipher]

That’s not even like a cope response

They genuinely are going to be worse on average

[graceful slate]

M'yeah. In aurics I meet top notch people, but in damnation, to which I suppose is the filter of good killers (not being elitist but this is it basically) they're still in trial to get to the end game

But still I succeeded to loose on the train level on damnation lol

Team badly managed the space between them, did not really care about objective

[zealous wing]

thats why

you need at LEAST one competent teammate

[acoustic jacinth]

Damnation is 90% people being stuck in that middle ground between heresy-damnation, and new players trying difficulties without knowing what it really means. Most who play actively are just spamming auric maels if not in havoc or if they dont enjoy havoc

[graceful slate]

I do aurics on daily basis I'm just stuck on damnation with my psyker until I can play in aurics

[mighty cipher]

Need assistance?

[graceful slate]

That's basically it

[zealous wing]

im about to log in, what region are you

[acoustic jacinth]

Oh my god, he's logging it

[graceful slate]

Nah thank ye I just need one win, I'll just spam the train level for the new campaign It'll be done fast

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah beat to tough it out anyways

You die you learn

[plucky flax]

I'm Karien's region now.

[graceful slate]

Which is funny btw because, before the update of the new UI system for the mission selection, I did aurics plenty (and maelstroms) with my psyker

Right now I must grind (?!) damnation to go back again to aurics 💀

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/pain-suffering-death-star-wars-gif-25111888

[zealous wing]

im still mad they removed the thunder from thunderhammer

literally, genuinely, unplayable

[marble crater]

They what

[zealous wing]

there no big sound

no thunder

[marble crater]

Intended or bugged?

[zealous wing]

probably bugged i have to hope its a bug

[mighty cipher]

It’s a bug

[acoustic jacinth]

There's no shot they intended to cuck the THUNDERhammer

[mighty cipher]

No power weapons have their sounds

[acoustic jacinth]

I heard about psword heavies too yeah

https://tenor.com/view/bleak-it's-bleak-shaking-head-its-bleak-black-and-white-gif-9592734580409210082

[zealous wing]

dom was running SF bonk build for event boss deletion and it was the most unsatisfying oneshots ever

[lone ravine]

[peak sundial]

average teammate quality aside, sometimes the director goes nuts, e.g. seemingly random spikes in special spawns and etc.
even if auric will still throw more at you on average

[zealous wing]

theres also this weird situation where, less enemies means less for talents to work off of

[graceful slate]

RNG can be of a colossal difference between two missions yeah

[zealous wing]

psyker t regen in a horde for meleeker is glorious, but the lower you go the less you get to regen

[graceful slate]

Also, just got damnation train done in 7 minutes

Ez pz

[zealous wing]

nice

now you can play the game

[graceful slate]

No, one more. Because I lost the other when needed one victory, went back to two victories needed

Another train level it is

[zealous wing]

f

[graceful slate]

Oh, I can go aurics

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-dance-gif-7696992058419881037

[burnt hull]

I’m actively playing and still do around half damnation games half aurics. Damnation I still like because that’s the last difficulty where I can play without being too much focused, just chilling and testing builds and weapons. Aurics if I’m not focused I Die too much

[acoustic jacinth]

That's fair

I personally just run normal aurics if i'm snoozing off whilst gaming

Usually auric males

Havoc if my friend is on

[burnt hull]

But yeah overall there is a big gap between Auric and Damnation pug mates on this matter I completely agree

[gray juniper]

I don’t know who makes these but they’re pretty funny

[royal totem]

damn

damnation and auric 😮

i play sedition if my friend isn't on

[marble crater]

[royal totem]

Dont stare.

[graceful slate]

Fan creations can be both the best and the worst

[marble crater]

I won't stop

[gray juniper]

This is my experience in play differences on normal modes:
in private groups from here everyone is fairly competent but may have unexpectedly differing tactic approaches
In pubs you have damnation- players who more or less are out for themselves, will die randomly alone or clutch the whole map, comically won’t res people.
Auric- 50/50 will coordinate fully and carry no matter who goes down or gets in a bad spot OR dies immediately and leaves
Maelstrom-dies in the opening fight after they pushed really hard and quits or is a jack of all trades player, cautious approach, immediately assists the weaker players/provides healing or cover effects. Will likely lead through the map

[gray juniper]

I like them

Rogue trader makes me want to play Darktide but also want to keep progressing rogue trader

[zinc phoenix]

did they do something to bursters?

[dull scroll]

@summer prairie you know anyway to get rid of these things?

[mighty cipher]

My friend hates me for this because I’m in the same boat but Darktide usually wins

[summer prairie]

get the latest ovenproof, not sure what you are using

[mighty cipher]

It’s actually the reason I started enjoying vet because RT gave me the hampering to shoot a lasgun.

[royal totem]

I res everybody. Penance req

[dull scroll]

your last patch with that blitz damage 😏

[summer prairie]

I think you missed one file then or something

but the official plugin patch now has blitz too

[dull scroll]

sweet

[royal totem]

Have i ever let somebody die from down for my penance? cough cough looks away shiftily

[gray juniper]

This is why auric survivor on pubs was hard

[zealous wing]

i havent gotten it, i simply do not have as much fun on auric if i dont have one friend there

[gray juniper]

That’s sensible

[zealous wing]

if i suddenly start having a bad time, its nice to know at least someone is gonna look after me

[gray juniper]

If you have poxbreaker it’s swaggy enough

[zealous wing]

i was having such a bad day a couple days ago that i went down at least 15 times in the auric event

[gray juniper]

Ngl I always liked pubs because it’s not very predictable what others will do, it’s funny when someone cocky rushes ahead and goes down, it’s great practice for holding your own

[zealous wing]

ye last night i had a similar experience

a friend and 2 of his friends

clearly not ready for auric

[gray juniper]

You’re talking about our matches like I’m not here 😂

[zealous wing]

soon as i stopped thinking i could rely on them, and pretended i was clutching the whole thing, went so much smoother

we still lost

right at the end

[gray juniper]

Yea it’s helpful when people aren’t cohesive

Ofc. Teamwork makes the dream work as they always said in the army

[zealous wing]

i now know to absolutely ALWAYS save at least TWO chem bombs on hive scum, instead of just one

to give arthur credit though he did try his best but he was also still relying on them

he was booking when he should, he just tried too hard to keep getting to them

[wraith sphinx]

man

I've been scumming nonstop since the class came out and now I've completely forgot how to play meleeker

[zealous wing]

mood

[gray juniper]

Yea when someone is playing rogue, you jus have to let them pay for it

[zealous wing]

hog celerity stims for the fgs

[royal totem]

hmmm

maybe i'm not a team player in auric

🤔

[gray juniper]

Mayhaps

[wraith sphinx]

I guess I'll have to

[royal totem]

i think i'm best off playing alone yeah.

so sadge loner aura doesn't exist anymore

[zealous wing]

its gone because its a team game

[mighty cipher]

It also just kinda sucked

[marble crater]

Tell that to my team yesterday, they didn't even praise me when I clutched, smh

[royal totem]

what an ungrateful lot

i dunno. i think i'm better off just in party finder than with anybody i know

[zinc phoenix]

doing the event missions is exposing me to some totally regarded people

[marble crater]

Was an epic clutch too, I killed two shotgunners with kinetic flayer, hitting and shriek and then those two killed 8 more and then those killed all the bulwarks. Thank you Perilous Combustion and block button

[zinc phoenix]

like we're in the middle of a horde all spaced out just after an event and some guy kicks off the altar

two bosses spawn along with a wall of bulwarks and ragers on top of me 😂

[zealous wing]

i still dunno where the auric clutch came from that i pulled off

dom was watching me (ofc), and he said his only advice was to inferno more, but that i did everything else very very well. (using sword to build peril, shrieking, kiting, not giving up and keep kiting), but he also saw i was shaking 😭

[royal totem]

i dunno. i play clutches the same way i play everything else

[marble crater]

Embarrassing

[zealous wing]

there were so many bulwarks, and i had no idea where the captain was

[royal totem]

there are only two possible results when i clutch

[zealous wing]

just glad it was in an area i knew very very well

[royal totem]

i win or i lose

[zealous wing]

theres only two results in any clutch, win or lose

[royal totem]

most of the time, winning is preferabble but i don't have a high attachment to it. it either happens or it doesn't

[gray juniper]

Yea kind of right attitude

[summer prairie]

anyone want to do h40 weekly?

[zealous wing]

i tend to really want to succeed, its easier to calm the adrenaline down if i win, and its then easier to reflect on what could have gone better rather than if i fail, and think about every possible thing that lead to me failing

[zinc phoenix]

i love the new tank mission

[zealous wing]

if i win, i know i did something right

[zinc phoenix]

people get murdered on it so bad and its hilarious

[zealous wing]

ye new map new troubles

so much open area people arent used to

its glorious

[zinc phoenix]

yeah theres two bad parts: boss spawn on the tower where people get yeeted and the cratered ground bullet hell

[zealous wing]

end event seems to also cause troubles

i imagine itll get easier as people learn the map, but for now its just a whole lot of "the fuck do i do now"

[royal totem]

trying and attaching too much just leads to disappointment

and i hate being disappointed

[royal totem]

it's only epic if they steal all the ammo and medicae after

[tardy pumice]

are there any vids of good players playing flamer staff? i wanna improve my gameplay

flamer staff + force sword / duelling sword

[royal totem]

can watch AgentChaos or watch Vect

@dull scroll can probs link you

[royal totem]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAQo0fNhCws for example

[marble crater]

As a psyker I couldn't care less about ammo

[royal totem]

medicae though

[marble crater]

I'm too good to need that

[royal totem]

i stopped trying as hard though when i realized outside of havoc, people aren't grateful for clutches. you can clutch for them and then they'll immeadiately steall all the ammo and medicae as soon as they're up

the bitches

[tardy pumice]

ty

oh wow he uses staff a lot more than i do

i basically just dot stuff up a bit with staff and then mainly use sword

[royal totem]

Dats not my way of inferno 🙁

Staff can even push buraters

[tardy pumice]

and his playstyle is a lot more at range

his/her

[marble crater]

Staff pushes everything except crushers

[royal totem]

It depends. Chaos will be just ahead of group a lot

Ive played with chaos b4

[tardy pumice]

btw what is dump stat for flamer staff?

[royal totem]

Warp res

[tardy pumice]

ok

[open iris]

You want peril high

[royal totem]

Same with all good psyker weps

[tardy pumice]

ok sick got one with 60 warp

[open iris]

So less warp res = higher peril = more damage from a few nodes

Gotta edge it

[tardy pumice]

makes sense

[open iris]

Got my staff at 42% cause of that

[tardy pumice]

oh so you roll for high starting value % on the other mods

mine is 18/60 now

damage 41/80

[royal totem]

60 is good

Do 60 till you feel its ez

Then roll for lower

[open iris]

Yeah early game it's a non-issue lol

[royal totem]

You can even run 60 in h40 and do well

[open iris]

I go for 60 in havoc as opposed to lower because of the amount of enemies I need to spam on

[royal totem]

Like you see ppl min maxing going for less but youll be fineee

[gray juniper]

Next time I hop on I’m not available for play. I need to adjust aim settings a lot. Something is off that keeps me from hitting at long range. Those games with hex is showed me that

[tardy pumice]

im at heresy level now

i meant as response to taco cat

about early game

[gray juniper]

Empyrean resolve combined with flame staff can be both good and bad. As long as you’re not absolutely surrounded it helps you just hold down attack. On the other hand if you get swarmed by chaff any hits they land will hurt a lot more

It causes the initial ramp up of peril to be longer too

[zinc phoenix]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=a0899f68-5bd3-43df-80e6-01e7b60d4b01

i been having good results taking people thru auric/auric mael with this

the big team killers are specials, crushers, and rager waves. this has hard counters to all three that dont rely on other people having a brain.

sucks to lose the boss dmg of meleeker but this is easier on the hands 😂

ive also used it a few times in havocs and its been fine there but im not really doin havoc nemore

mm is because the ds5 actually gets used pretty regular incl dueling out ragers

the parry is nice

[reef crow]

hi i ask this question here because i wonder one thing for the psyker are they any cosmetic that have a good looking wizard necromancer style ? since i have 4 700 aquilla i was wonder if in the commodore vesture shop are they any cosmetic under the style i looking for

[zinc phoenix]

i had to ditch warp ghost for more dmg vs og 😢 ive tried doing burn it all gaming w/ trad trauma shriek and while its vv good as always the issue is the need to cover myself against all the specials because the game is haunting me with pox bursters that seem less inclined to not dmg me after a push

legit i have counted the number thrown at my back in a single encounter and its been 10 plus regularly

in a single encounter, not a mission

[bold cape]

for the drip allows you to make whatever you want with whatever pieces are in the game
as far as actually paying for cosmetics goes you can use a mod to see all cosmetics in the store not j ones in current rotation
character cosmetics view improved iirc

[zinc phoenix]

also, like, its just way easier to clutch revive if i throw a couple walls down

[reef crow]

ah you meant the drip mod that make you see all the game cosmetic ? i may check that out

[bold cape]

for the drip allows you to use literally every outfit model in the game across all chars enemies npcs etc
pretty good as long as you don’t give a shit about what other ppl see like me

[royal totem]

Flame staff shriek no Emp re is pog

[wraith sphinx]

activates the final altar on clandestium gloriana

[mild light]

Made my first flame staff build last night with pols help from the server. It’s SLAPPPS

[wispy bay]

The DH from the altar is usually a game ender.

[dull scroll]

the true final boss of Havoc

[wispy bay]

Who the heck came up with the idea of it giving the ritual DH and not the sleeper DH.

[zinc phoenix]

its really fragile, if a scum needles it a few times its dead in seconds

[wispy bay]

In auric, they spawn 2 bosses and a bunch of mobs.

[zinc phoenix]

as long as the team is together its usually pretty trivial

im running crystalline will now

[wispy bay]

Big pain to even track it.

im fuckin doin it

I was hoping to chit chat a bi tto

Feel free to ask questions

I just want people to use my builds

To further cement me as the unelected king of psykers

[scarlet barn]

Can i throw the rocks at people?
Are they good yet?

[ripe obsidian]

Assail?

[scarlet barn]

Yes

[ripe obsidian]

Assail has never been bad afaik

[scarlet barn]

Then I have been lied to

I was told only ever use Lightning

[ripe obsidian]

That is opposite advice

[austere warren]

Consider thinking and acting for oneself mayhaps.

[ripe obsidian]

Smite makes people say >:(

[ripe obsidian]

This is why I put templates in the bonanza, so people can make their own choices

[scarlet barn]

But if i do that then im still doing what somebody tell sme to do

[austere warren]

Also ignore people that salt over smite. Do whatever. :V

[ripe obsidian]

No you. >:(

[austere warren]

But I don't salt over smite. 🧠

[ripe obsidian]

Smite is just kinda boring to play and boring to be in a game with imo. I don't actually get mad about it, I just wish I wasn't in a shooting gallery

[scarlet barn]

Isnt stunlocking whole rooms good tho?

[mighty cipher]

It’s typically better to let enemies funnel into the meat grinder

[austere warren]

Some people don't like that it has that potential. Understandable.

[plucky flax]

Its good but just using burga is better and kill stuff faster

[ripe obsidian]

Strong, yes. Boring, also yes.

[scarlet barn]

Burga?

[plucky flax]

🍔

[ripe obsidian]

I have several paragraphs in the guide about the general opinion on Smite.

[long wharf]

🍔

[plucky flax]

Eat some burgatus fren

[long wharf]

the problem with smite isn't that it can lock down an entire room for a bit

[ripe obsidian]

@plucky flax Did you hit H40 again yet? Also, do you have Scum builds I can steal? I've had to think for myself and it sucks.

[long wharf]

but that you very rarely actually want to make a room full of enemies dance in place

instead of letting them funnel through a kill zone

most often, the team is better off when smite is used to prevent people from getting jumped by unexpected groups of enemies

[plucky flax]

I've been on holiday i did make a scum build but it's hard. No cleave

[austere warren]

I like it to just play with things as I please if I have the capacity to do so. If I smite, I smite purposefully. Usually not for the sake of it.

It's only as intentional as a player can make it.

[long wharf]

instead of making a crowd of horde stand still

[scarlet barn]

I dont see an assail build on your post

[plucky flax]

Just rampage and the middle keystone

[dull scroll]

if people want an absolute braindead OP scum build on par with inferno, I might..have one

😏

[plucky flax]

Oh and get unlimited ammo talent on the left

Its op for havoc

[ripe obsidian]

Most Scrier's Gaze builds use Assail

I can make a specific Assail build.

[plucky flax]

I played 1 havoc yesterday in Asian server i think the plasma smoke vet did like 300k damage

[scarlet barn]

I want to throw rocks and never stop

[zealous wing]

theres a lot of builds with assail in that document

[scarlet barn]

I legit might be blind IDK

[plucky flax]

Pick assails pick dd there you go that's assails build

Swing big sword

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, I can set up an Assail + SG + EP build if all you want to do is throw Assail. DD is better for damage, though, and boosts things besides Assail

[scarlet barn]

dd?

[long wharf]

honestly, assail+FGS is the most fun I have with psyker

[ripe obsidian]

The rightside keystone

[long wharf]

big stabs, lots of throwing shards

[austere warren]

Disrupt destiny.

[scarlet barn]

Be warned im dumb and dont know allot about this game

[ripe obsidian]

I definitely have a few FGS + Assail builds

Vulture?

I would still not take more than 1 scummer atp

Partly because all the ones Ive seen get folded up

Quicker than pre rework psyker

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's hard to play.

I think a melee rampage build or vulture desperado build are both good for havoc.

[gray juniper]

So hive scum is glass?

[sturdy reef]

The dual stubbers so nice

Imagine if they had a good cleave boost in tree

Theyd be insane

[plucky flax]

Don't you want dual mac 10?

[sturdy reef]

Ya thats what I meant

Also the spin shot fkn sucks

[plucky flax]

Oh I thought stubber is the pistol lol

[sturdy reef]

Just shoot them again

Revolver Ocelot wannabe

[mighty cipher]

Are the rolls you get better as you level up?

[ripe obsidian]

@scarlet barn If all you want to do is throw Assail and nothing else, this build will probably work. But it isn't how I would recommend doing things. I usually use Assail as a sidearm, something to weave between attacks with my melee or ranged weapon or to help clear loosely packed enemies.

To that end, I would recommend one of the melee builds that uses Assail.

Oh, actually, lemme rework this a bit.

I didn't put in Warp Splitting.

[scarlet barn]

lol i had almos tthe same setup just now

[mighty cipher]

That would’ve been nice to know before I burnt millions trying to get Arby weapon godrolls for cheap

[ripe obsidian]

Here. This is 29 points. Toss the last one in one of the circled nodes. Probably the +10% ranged small node, I think, or Warp Ghost.

[scarlet barn]

staff recomendation?

[mighty cipher]

I went through 100 weapons TWICE

[ripe obsidian]

What difficulty are you playing?

[scarlet barn]

Damnation?

[ripe obsidian]

Okay, then I particularly like Voidstrike for Auric and below. Electrokinetic is also decent, but I feel like LMB Electro and Assail fill somewhat similar roles.

Voidblast would also be good for crowd control

[scarlet barn]

not inferno?

[ripe obsidian]

I don't love pairing the two

Other people do

It's not bad, mostly because Inferno is OP

But if you have Inferno, you're gonna be using Inferno to burn everything as opposed to Assail. And you'll just use Assail RMB to hit distant specials

I think it's a matter of finding what your weaknesses are and picking a weapon that shores them up. For example, I use Assail to kill loosely packed hordes, so I need something for denser hordes and for armored targets. Inferno could work for denser hordes, but I use the force greatsword, then I use Voidstrike for long range and for (hopefully) killing big targets that are too far away to stab.

[scarlet barn]

tyvm

[ripe obsidian]

Voidstrike falls off hard after Damnation/Auric, though

[strong gulch]

sigh

[ripe obsidian]

Wot're the combos for bonesaw? LH and HL? Or PA HH for hordes?

[strong gulch]

Also burster exploding with no sound but also doing the some of the pushed animation then just standing there is messed up looking.

[strong gulch]

You can do PA then L or H or LH.

Single is H1 BC or PC H3 H1

[strong gulch]

PC = push cancel

wtf

[gray juniper]

How much is hive scum?

I’m guessing arby combo price

Yep $20

Or $13 apparently

[strong gulch]

hmm

[gray juniper]

$20 is if you want to supersize it

[strong gulch]

I know there are sales for other things. IDK about combo. I saw $11.99 USD for just scum

[wispy bay]

Bone saw attack pattern sucks.

[wraith sphinx]

Deluxe cosmetics are whatever. I skipped that

[gray juniper]

Yea $20 is the “deluxe” I’m second looking

[wraith sphinx]

Same with arby

[gray juniper]

13 is pretty reasonable

[quiet inlet]

I like the weapon cosmetics, but they aren't game changing

[wispy bay]

Ganger deluxe items are better than arby.

[ripe obsidian]

Bonesaw has terrible flak adms, holy moly

[ripe obsidian]

Disagree

[wispy bay]

Though, just wait until discount.

[wraith sphinx]

Highly subjective considering they occupy different sides of the drip spectrum

[gray juniper]

I knew I wanted to try arbitrator because the lore is dope but idk about this one. I always cringe at hiver as an option on warhammer roleplays

[quiet inlet]

lore aside, the gameplay is fun

[gray juniper]

Yea it’s probably not too bad. I’ll have to hear the voices in game to know if I can stand it in longevity 😂

[wraith sphinx]

I was dissapointed the class wasn't mechanicus but the gameplay is straight fire, deadass my new main class

[gray juniper]

Yea pirate esque roleplays are always my last choice

Cyber enforcer was a need

[zealous wing]

[gray juniper]

Yea mechanicus would be a must buy

[scarlet barn]

not that im using it but this build is broken
You have 31 points I think

[gray juniper]

Do automats get decent body augments?

[gray juniper]

I’m not too versed in warhammer martians below tech priests

Tech priest would be too OP for Darktide

[wraith sphinx]

I like the personalities a lot, they're all my cup of tea

[ripe obsidian]

Which build?

oh, you posted it

one moment

[zealous wing]

@marble lagoon

[gray juniper]

This is what heresy looks like

[wraith sphinx]

I was concerned that the drip would be some unaesthetic slop with a barely discernible nod to mad max but turns out it's surprisingly drippy pants mixed with a great roman gladiator vibe

[gray juniper]

Heresy and 1 frame a minute

[gray juniper]

Thank god

Sound better than expected tbh

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, weird. I don't know how I did that. I'll fix it, thanks

[wraith sphinx]

Absolutely

I was heavily inclined not to buy it because I was thinking

• the reveal trailer was bad and boring
• the class makes sense lorewise but I was just not interested in it
• I thought I would be terrible at playing it cos I don't generally play glass cannons

Then when playtesters uploaded their gameplay vids of the class I was instantly sold lmao

So yeah! Definitely better than expected

[scarlet barn]

glad to help

[gray juniper]

I only like glass cannons I guess

I read the psyker class explanation when first starting the game and was like “yea that’s the one”

[wraith sphinx]

I also forgot darktide is like my sole exception too

[ripe obsidian]

Normally I prefer tanks and support characters. In Darktide, go fast and kill mans

[wraith sphinx]

The facetank classes are all my least played because I get bored so fast

[gray juniper]

I’m never a fan of “tank” class on any game whatsoever

[scarlet barn]

I like ogryn cuz i can throw rocks

[gray juniper]

Even on war type games it’s far more fun to be a specialized class

Sneaking is a huge bonus for me

[fair crag]

do you still get the bottom partof the tree even though there not connecting?

[wraith sphinx]

Tanking in ffxiv was the only fun part of dungeon crawling for me

[gray juniper]

Ngl I never played final fantasy

[scarlet barn]

This isnt my build

[wraith sphinx]

You aren't missing out on much

[gray juniper]

I watched my friend beat his game on PlayStation 1 back in the day and that’s it

FF looks really cool to watch. I’m just not interested in learning it

[wraith sphinx]

It's just your regular japanese produced quirky noblebright setting with a side of slightly unhinged

[gray juniper]

Warhammer games can be different but all use the same table top type of moves and powers so it’s easy to jump into

[wraith sphinx]

Doesn't gel with me at all

I ended up dropping xiv at like level 60 or so cos it was getting too damn boring

[gray juniper]

We need a game from Aeldar/Tau perspective as a story, possibly fps, pretty bad

[gray juniper]

I can understand that. One and only classical dungeon crawler like that I finished was Wild arms

It’s Japanese too obviously, but it was super niche. You had to finish to know how it ended
