This is amazing, thank you! You do the community a great service
You're welcome. I do my best
you said that you don't hold smite down 24/7 tho
if so then you are not a smyker
using smite is not the same as a smyker
Doesn't a Smyker kill with smite?
no
Or is a Smyker just a 24/7 person?
What else do they do?
24/7 smite and using it wantonly.
I use it like...16-18/5-6
Like there is a bulwark and a gunner within 20m of one another, "time to smite lol".
Oh no if its that lil hell ill melee them
Like ill smite sometimes when were in a chill moment and ill see just a enemy and im like, im bored dance for me
But thats it
So does that mean im not a Smyker?
Wtf am I then?
hello new to the game lvl 12, are there any valiable assail or magic missle builds for this class? they look cool af but i cant find any up to date builds for it only fucking fire staff so i tough maybe they got nerfed or something
check the pins
tf is the first picture
graphic design of a room
mid event in consignment yard
My ping is reading as 60-70, but everything I am doing is on a half-second delay
Servers, please
Pain
Guess I am not playing Darktide today
I will play for you, I still need to finish the event for my 500 aquilas 
the game is taunting me
Why is mobility red?
Okay. Why does the mod make mobility red?
I think it's highlighting what the mod author thinks are dump stats
Which, uh
Yeah.
Yeah 
Hello friends. For the monstronum penance, do I just need to brain burst the monstrosity a few times and get the killing blow? Is that how it works?
No no no, smyker isn't me as I dont do that...I need something for me...
I don't think you need the killing blow, but I am unsure. You need to do 50% of its total health using only brain burst/brain rupture.
love a laggy game that doesn't let you swap weapons
then the gas never ends so you just die
are you having server issues, too?
Unfortunate.
Ye
I'm glad I played a little before that laggy round. The runs were stable and inputs snappy. Felt really good. I even played well. So at least there's that.
@ripe obsidian Do you know if the aoe stagger from the scum melee ability goes through objects and walls?
I would imagine it does, but I know not
Only if your scum is a trapper, then you can shoot through several crushers, like in this last game 
I will try to remeber to test if it does or not. The stagger has a 4.5m radius. So the enemies that failed to get staggered just have been out of range vs a pile of crap blocking the stagger.
smite should only be used to kill IMO for hordes only
otherwise, you hold it until everything on your screen is targeted, then immediately release
(it can be okay to wait a lil longer for an ally to come over)
Hey what mod do you guys use to see the peril decimal places
I'm using PerilGauge but it freaks out if I use both the Plasma Gun and Power Falchion
namely it adds both bars together, which means if I use the Falchion for a bit and then switch to the Plasmagun I have no idea what my heat is at
I use peril gauge. I don't play vet but I know there are settings to fuss around with.
IDK if they are 2 separate bars. If so, you can use custom HUD to move them to better differentiate them.
IDK tho.
Worst case, you can leave a comment on the mod or ask in the modding discord.
Yeah it overrides the heat % with whichever has a higher heat level
If I turn the mod off, use the plasma gun for a while, then switch to the falchion, the heat starts to go down as normal
but with the mod on it gets "stuck" so I can't see how much my plasma has cooled down
and then conversely, if I use the falchion to slap things, then switch to the plasma gun, my heat % jumps up to whever the falchion's bar was at
which means I have no idea wtf my plasma gun's heat is at
I left a comment on the nexus page but the author hasn't commented there in over a year despite having another comment asking for the fix and him releasing other mods and updates since
You might even ask in vet chat to see if anyone knows a work around.
tried that too 
I know fixes and stuff get updated in the modding discord before nexus.
I loathe the idea of joining yet another discord channel that I won't actually use
So someone might have a fix for it or an idea on what to do.
Then again apparently I'm going to have to join it if I want Scoreboard to work again so fuck me I guess
I miss fileshare sites and forums
I don't have anything to fiddle with or nor do I know code, so I cannot help much.
Make sure DML, DMF, scoreboard, ovenproof, ovenproof's scoreboard plugin are all up to date.
also animation events IIRC
If after all of that and scoreboard still isn't working, here are some older files for ovenproof scoreboard plugin that are working for me. #psyker-class message
I can't remember is those are just Syllo's fix or if they are from nexus's most recent update.
But that are working for me.
Bruh moment
It's very annoying
Well I posted over in the modder's discord to see if anyone knows of a fix
I AM A SPARKER
A spark of hope for smite
The author apparently is active there so hopefully he can fix it
sucks to suck
yuppers, happily
Oh so you wanna be fucked?
lil bit, gotta get in line tho
Wheres the ainz gif
Sorry guys I broke out of Zealot chat
where the line end?
Not a Smyker, theres clearly not enough enemies to smite there
i fucking knew it
A true smyker will smite a lone trash mob while 3 people fight 4 bosses
degenerate
I dont do that
fortunately for you im a lil intoxicated and willing to fight
starting to dance and sing "WHAT CAN I SAY EXPECT IM HORNY!"
And im tired so ill fight back
sounds bout right tbh
zealot be horny, psyker be petty
lets barrel each other off a cliff
You take one side ill take the other?
Is that our stereotype? Being petty?
Ill hit it first you finish it off
Yes
Yes mainly about smykers
as a psyker main
But I found what I am finally...a Sparker
its honestly petty, but im fine with being petty
Some uncle ruckus and stinkmeaner type shit
WHEEZE
there was SOMETHING about this, i dont use SB anymore but i think it was setting related
if i wasnt about to jump in a game, nor intoxicated, i'd hlp more honestly
I want a more interesting stereotype
WELP
We fight more about smaller things and thats it, we ain't horny like Zealot or plain like arby, nor chill like ogryn
And Psykers are all about being petty
Fair enough. I do like being correct about things.
I'll try them later
psykers arent petty
they are pedantic
case in point
well
SOME psykers are petty >.>
Yes we are
“Why did team not protect me I was smitingngngngngngngngngng”
Psykers love having Lex
Smykers act like theres a gun pointed at their head and if they stop for a sec if they’re cornered by fast ragers then they die irl
If they having to smite like that their doing something wrong
This is the creed of the average smyker
We did a 4 smite game except for bosses and crushers it was funny xD I don’t even think the dmg stacked it was just funny tho
OK 4 smiters I will admit is funni af
I did do that once and holy shit was it a dance rave, we looked around for a extra enemy spawn modifier and when we found it we just smited everywhere, nothing could move, we had 3 boss spawns but we still fucked around with it bc why not lol
8 wall psyker prolly the most funny game, and unironically very easy xD
Smyker alone bad, smyker 4 group funny af
I THOUGHT OF A FUNNY ASS MOD, you smite something it starts carmal dancing
It is like night and day how much more enjoyable Psyker is at level 20 compared to level 9
The Darktide equivalent of your friend telling you to get into a MMO that gets good only after the boring 50 hour base game lol
oh god what is this I thought I checked into zealot chat for a second
ok like if you get hurt while smiting that is skill issue
because the point of smiting is to remove the ability to get hurt
It’s really funny how often they scream about it
@ripe obsidian game?
If the servers have fixed themselves. Give me 5-10 minutes
Earlier I was getting crazy delay, even though my ping was nominal
@ripe obsidian lets goo, my game is going to oom in psychanium at this rate 
I am finishing a mission in RDR2
You can run one without me
I finished, so whenever you're done yours, I am ready.
I think I have the energy for one game before my brain boils too much to think clearly
Bed time, it sounds like.
I have slept so much
just finished xD
@balmy dawn
Present.
this is where you can have literally all the info you could ever need for psyker my guy
yoo
theres a build guide in the pins as well for everything you could want, to have function when youre ready for assistance
youre allowed to have fun ofc
but for when youre ready
also please for the love of the emperor PUT UNSTABLE POWER ON THOSE SWORDS YOU TWO dear GOD

Fun is +9 stam god block memes where I just tanked the twins and like half the mobian 6th into a lift.
fun is running FGS and revolver
What even do they have?
im drunk leave me alone
it was on my other one b4 i got my perfct one
what are you looking for?
as low as you fuckin can
What even happened?
Honestly, I wish I knew :D
alcohol
i found fledglings in the wild while drinking
Psyker builds, really.
and this
My child. You are in luck.
@dull scroll
k im usually drunk playin this game
Am I, father?
i just have fun
Check the pins
"Usually". If it's one thing I know about you Kyle is that you're drunk and high 24/7
six made the bonanza
You robbed Vect. 😭
Especially at work.
hehehe
FIFTY?!
So acting like 'mama but not birb' to them?
I don't even know how to count that high.
I have a lot of builds.
Hopefully more in the future as more people submit them to me
im not bad at the game im just drunk
Please don't spit chewed worms into my mouth. I don't kinkshame or anything it's just... well, not my thing.
Drunktide is it's own thing for sure.
this is what i do
it helps he called me father
WHAT THE.
As long as you don't whip out the belt like my other dad @onyx silo I'll call you anything you want.
I'm self appointed grandpa
beans, i agree
I thought you were a potato.
strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government
@tulip kettle
That's old news though?
dom bed
we had drinktide
Guess he lost first.
im leveling out now but i want another drink, but also want to play seriously a little
wdym karien its fucking 4 am
3am for him
he went to bed like, an hjour and a half ago
Yes, the booze got him first.
not at all
he kept clutching auric after auric because i drank WAY too much too fast
its 10pm foor me i can still get drunker
gin is not to be undersestimated
Kyle, if it was possible for you to get drunker Thor would challenge you to a drinking competition.
hehehe
So... you got too drunk and Dom got too tired clutching?
yea pretty much
i got real salty and toxic too which prob didnt help
toxic about myself but still
Isn't that normal?
As in, when drinking. Cos is like shooting reflexes even more and I'm bad enough as is so more self hate for being that much of a failure.
Uhm, fellas.
I'm still on Page 25, there's 131 pages here.
If you don't want to wait, and wish to play the game instead of waiting for a deadbeet. Go on ahead.
It is a lot of builds.
I'll just sit one (or twelve) out
Oh, have you tested it?
well, you like the sword, no?
and you like shriek, HOWEVER, why do you like shriek
is it the wave of fire, or the damage
I will laugh if cos no explody.
I liked Shriek when I started because it vented me and I could continue using Palpatine Hands.
But ever since Kyle told me it's bad and I'm trash for playing it I switched.
I know someone who took it cos he kept popping.
I have not tested your build yet. I played like 2 missions today, and the first one had like half a second of delay
Oh, I guessed it.
ok i gotchu
im gonna find and send you a build,
you copy the best you can
I always play with near half. Precog the game.
How do I decide whether to go Precognition or Reality Anchor?
Can I yell "Unlimited Poweeeerr" every time I use my shock hands though?
Precog if you can juggle quelling and killing at the pace and you can actually hit heads. Reality Anchor makes it slower at start and through, easier to keep in it.
you wont, but yes
10s unlimited casting on scriers
Wait this is rocks.
yes
because smite sucks ass in high difficulties
and teaches horrible habits
among many other problems with it
You go shards or bb. No smite.
makes us all want it deleted
Bb only with kf.
it sucks to limit blitz, honestly, i see how smite is fun
but its just not
viable
if you run heresy or lower its OK ish, (read: tolerable but barely), but in damnation, auric, havoc, its so painful to see
Oh that's okay then, because according to Kyle I'm trash and I'll never be able to go to higher difficulties (:
He should know, he has 1500+ hours in the game.
So, I might as well as have fun in the dumpster.
jfc
What?
nah throw the whole bro away ngl 
literally
throw him away
hes worthless
people who tear "friends" down like that are worth less than nothing
he hasnt tried to help you at all
I drag trash into aurics before. Gotta play to get better. Some take longer than others.
i have 2k hours, does that make my word stronger than his
He has, he's told me that Palpatine hands are bad and he powerleveled me (:
Is there any faster way to chew through the 2000 seconds of cooldown reduction with aura pennance?
Heh, I should know that...
I think he plays everything.
Play with ppl who spam ult.
he has 200 something on his psyker, 112 on his zealot
Besides Veteran, but he has it max'd as well.
That wasn't his Zealot, it was the new character that's like a Borderlands Psycho.
his hive scum is like TL 50 or so
1.5k hours and 200 TL... is that just AFK in the Morning Star?
Hex, are you looking me down with my only 380~ vet lvls now?
yes or psykanium, or uprising only
its a mod to see how much someone actually plays a class
You meanie.
i dont know how psykers play in the beginning without going insane
You're a psyker
i have leveled 13 psykers so far, deleted 9
Is a mod. FS apparently keeps track of xp past 30.
the long time it takes to start the head popping is wow
What does that mean for me? I'm barely level 30 :(
it means you is baby psyker, as i said round one
it means you are to be taught, not torn down
not berated
He wants you to sell your life and main one class 10x over.
karien runs havoc40s so i can look down on her all i want
I'm doomed :(
There is a mod that shows you "true" level based off exp gained by character.
Wait, I'm scrolling and looking at the pictures in this Google Docs file and there's a Palpatine Hands build!
I figured. I would expect only my arby to catch up since is like lazy class to get on.
its a meme
be aware
its there as a trap
not even joking
I don't run it. I get carried, WDYM?
Oh :(
smite is not viable
in havoc, theres CC immune enemies. what then,
god i wish dom was awake
Reposition and use your other tools for those enemies. Also, you'll know the modifiers and can use a different build.
TIL a psycher can kill a space marine
repostion by freezing them, rather than killing them in the same time frame
id prefer slaughter
personally
I get it, I play scriers/demios.
Get ganged up upon and blep.
sløap this in
That's nice, but I run this.
Someone invited me and I thought it was Kyle switching characters so I accidentally left
all good
so yes, it is assail, but assail is really good for a melee build
I did try a full right side build and I just couldn't clear specials.
theres some exceptions and specifics, however, GENERALLY:
BB wants shriek wants staves wants siphon
assail wants scriers/bubble wants disrupt destiny wants melee/gun
It was with Head burst though, never tried rocks.
gun, assail, yup
otherwise, melee should be mainly used about 90% of the time or more
revolver not ideal however it is functional for sure
I have it but rarely switch to it to kill specials/elites far away in a split second.
Because Head Burst takes too long.
Or if I'm overheated.
I added Smite builds because I want to be thorough.
Zap stuff m1 spam can also take out specials if you take surge/warp nexus.
assail, sword, who needs more
Pretty sure bb works with gunker or hybirdker without staff.
it CAN but its usually shit
i run BB on my meme shredder AP
it does literally half the fuckin damage of the build 
60k is not great
just sayin
That one also needs a buff.
Can I blow up with rocks?
Whats a true level anyway
the amound of exp you gained after level 30
the game keeps tract of your exp gained after level cap
but doesnt tell you
This game has mods?
yes
Yup
here is an example of true level
Bonk
big bonk
Best to not think of blowing up.
@balmy dawn FGS mk6
whats the best psyker melee?
FGS, Obscurus, Deimos.
Ds and knoife technically fits but you know.
Well, is why is on another line with that.
The other three is basically standard.
Yeah
Because they are also best psyker melee

When the finesse weapon is good for the finesse class
pretty much
they still fit, no technically about it
but they're definitely far below the others as well
how do you deal with maniacs as great sword in melee? just dont ever be near them in melee?
Be near them in melee
Just kill them
And I assume you mean ragers?
Use your special
It is pretty good group stagger
Even at 0 charge
lol... hit them
dodge
if you have assail, throw some to stagger them if they're ragers, then also hit them
i believe heavy attack staggers them
you could also wait until their attack animation is finished
assail is guarenteed, easy, multitarget
i will say tho
dreg ragers fuckin scary dude, scab ragers easier to handle, and idk why
(armoured easier than armourless) i think they're faster?
diff attack speeds
Way faster.
More likely to hit and chip through.
finally got warp battery
I find the stabby heavy works really well for poking ragers from dodging range, and the special staggers pretty well to also keep a group of them further back.
this showed up on my twitter timeline im crying
ok
ive either been lied to or I'm crazy
but inferno force staff does pathetic damage
i just cant kill anything with it
like throwing farts at them
Scales with density
sshhhh trust...make the build...make the staff...everything dies
and the game becomes easy mode
nothing is dying
the only thing it does is light up the enemies
which make it easier for my teammates to kill them
They will die my friend, give it time it will work
Soon you'll be doing damage like Zealot flamer
And extra
super basic inferno build, try it
Simple but it eases you into it
Baby steps
Finding 3 17% toughness things though is a pain, my Vet managed to get them suprisingly easy thkugh
i didnt include melee because melee is preference, but 99% of psykers use ds
I would not recommend stamina regen curios on Psyker, and I am a staunch disbeliever in Empyric Shock on firestick
for some reason only my psyker managed to find 3 17% toughness
yeah just get more stamina
thats your preference, im just here to give them a super basic inferno build to try
why empyric shock bruh
Wildfire is definitely more basic than Empyric Shock, and also more effective
I want that on my Sparker
m1 stagger from inferno is good and extra damage from it aint bad, i just dont like wild fire all too much
realistically either node works
no
then why not something that synergises with stacks and RMB pumps
i only rlly lmb spam if a melee enemy gets too close for comfort
simply cuz you generate stacks very quickly already via rmb that wildfire doesnt help all too much
ES is a debuff applied to an enemy not a buff to the player.
if ur rmbing into a horde, every enemy is bound to get a ton of stacks from a single fully charged rmbed
i just prefer ES cuz it helps kill enemies a bit faster in the cases u need to lmb spam
You can like it. That's cool.
But it is kinda a waste unless you are specifically trying to LMB spam and that is usually a DPS loss.
But it's fine to take if you like it.
I feel both ES and wild fire are weak nodes in general, they both are kinda niche imo
ES just has too minor of a buff
Wild fire's stack spreads are too small and you most likely are already giving enemies a ton of stacks without wild fire
If you have a lot of SB, wildfire good.
If not much SB, wildfire bad.
Wildfire is for ranged extension, precooking, and snowballing SB (especially with KF and PC).
Factual and based and potato'ed
Wildfire's niche is SB.
Isnt the radius like 4m?
Wildfire spreads farther than Inferno reaches and it insta-stacks some stacks before you burn them.
You don't need to get the kill for WF to spread
This and more
If Wildfire puts 2 stacks on an enemy, that's 2 stacks you don't need to put on manually
Also, when you go up a lift or through an airlock
I just feel that wildfire just makes little difference in my experience
All the enemies run through a door and are stood on top of each other
And things like Souldrinker and In Fire Reborn also proc on enemies that die while affected by soulblaze, regardless of range or who kills them
Enemies die too fast by flames with or without wildfire thats its hard to notice
Wildfire was crashing the game a couple weeks ago. It was very noticeable in horde clear in H40s
Not having it, I mean
Wildfire also enables the KF cycle, and yeah playing without wildfire was noticeably slower to kill trash and less killing random specials off screen etc
Meanwhile empyric shock might give you a bit more DPS into a monster, maybe
Every time Ive ran WF or ES I've noticed little difference in gameplay using either
Still less dps than hitting it with your sword on e maxed SB stacks
I just take ES bc the damage is ok when doing some quick lmb stagger
Sometimes its safer to stagger than trying to melee
but thats just me
Idk what situation you are imagining where it's really doing anything
Either the enemy already has high stacks of SB and will die either way
All I see it do is a bit of extra damage on lmb spam, thanks healthbars mod
Or it doesn't, and the additional damage from lmb spam is a DPS loss compared to stacking more quickly
If it's dire enough that ES is the thing that is a go to tool, you could also just do PAs with a force sword that has uncanny for significantly more damage that is also a self buff vs a debuff applied per enemy.
Lmb spam is sometimes worth the dps loss in some situations, mostly when you need to quickly stagger an enemy off of yourself
Ultimately it's not all that important, but wildfire is definitely noticeable in high difficulty content
You dont even need to lmb spam for that long
Just stagger them a bit, dodge back and then rmb
thats what i do
As someone who uses the LMB stagger, it's not worth ES numbers wise.
I'd rather have a talent that is basically always working than one that is doing something 3% of the game.
Okay, I think ES is only worth on inferno if you are doing sprint cancel macro abuse
Ye
Exactly this
swap or sprint cancel.
All of that said, if you like to run x, that is justification enough.
Meta and numbers be damned.
I still prefer trauma over inferno simply cuz trauma is funny knockin enemies everywhere
also inferno gets pretty...
valid
real
Inferno without Bubble is somewhat more interesting. But yeah, it can get stale.
i hold le rmb and kill le 20 million elites and special and a horde or two
My old man cat is sleeping in such a tight ball, and he's snorking and snoring. 😭
that's what I was following
is it supposed to be weak in lower difficulties?
most builds lose synergy in lower difficulties since most builds rely on killing enemies
less enemies = less cool stuff
Inferno scales with density.
It also is not frontloaded damage.
So 8s to kill an enemy vs just stabbing them once.
Yes, this also applies to most weapons with infinite cleave (explosions or DoTs). The more dense the enemies are the greatest the effects, which is often why people will say zealot flamer/purg staff/trauma staff are weak
I literally just had someone say zealot flamer is weak in zel chat
Probably for same reasons
Speaking of
inferno is basically you kill enemies over a few seconds, but able to do that to many, many enemies
I wonder what's the damage difference between flamer and purg are
the only thing inferno is weak against is crushers
I'd quickly guess flamer is stronger but has ammo downside
Yeah flamer is generally stronger, longer range too but limited by ammo
And flamer pens bulwark shields
Ye. idk the numbers off the top of my head but flamer is more raw damage.
inferno also does that
The DoT decays faster iirc.
you have yummy red fire
or yummy blu fire
Doesn't technically pen shields, but fingies and toes stick out.
So the whole bulwarks burns.
funny
guh
I've heard inferno does more direct damage than flamer though
And I think the left click is just generally better because it's faster to switch to
seer
i think flamer does bigger damage but less effecient
I was talking about the non-dot damage specifically
Flamer does generally more damage yes
Is this only range damage? So it's worthless with needle pistol?
check kuli guide
Where is it?
Replenish +8% Toughness on Ranged Kill. Elites and Specials instead replenish +15% Toughness.
function: recover_percentage_toughness
Killing an elite or special who is within 12.5m to Hive Scum with a ranged attack (including Boom Bringer projectile hit) replenishes 15% of maximum toughness; killing any other enemy within 12.5m with a ranged attack replenishes 8% of maximum toughness instead. Can proc multiple times per shot when cleaving. Procs additionally to weapon blessings like Born in Blood, Gloryhunter, and Inspiring Barrage. The effectiveness of this toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.
in pins
That description looks like no from range toxin.
It doesn't work unless you last hit with the actual impact.
XD
Git gud
no u
NO U
Did flanders turn out to kill people??
ello :)
I feel that playing very durable classes have made me incompetent at judging when to close for melee
The answer is always
And then I get shot to death
If you can record your gameplay, that can be helpful in seeing what you did wrong.
Likewise, you can watch watch other people's videos on how they tackle stuff with a similar kit to yours.
Slide harder
I don't even know where it saves since the gameplay is streamed to my pc
Lol trying
Tried Surge Surge + Obscurus on a low 30s Havoc.
Went pretty well.
I did blow myself up by shooting a silent burster, but
glad it went well and you got to do something different
How did obscurus feel?
Obscurus felt great against bosses
Felt slightly risky against crushers
The H1 was pretty reliable for specials and lesser elites
Still dunno where it goes, will have to find it
ye
I am pretty bad with that sword. Ninja plays it a lot.
84% crit rate on the zapstick is stupid
Makes me want to try again, but I can't get the horde combo because alternating lights and heavies is too hard.
I wonder how assail would have felt vs KF.
I walked at enemies menacingly and was immune to ranged damage
Well, I think KF was worse with Surge Surge before they fixed it
ye
Now it properly goes off at 100% peril
But I also think Assail would be quite good for supplementary horde clear
And you can use the spare point from KF to get, like, Warp Splitting
for sure
Lemme screw with the pathing a little bit
Is not actually particularly viable to get WS, actually
Could maybe drop Immaterial Focus?
Something like this
What kind of soup?
Yum
yum
this is what i have been running, with DS for crushers and mobility
i dont massively like the loss of ES
but i really wanted to find a way to afford MM, warp splitting and ethereal shards
this is also for games without an inferno psyker necessarily
Yeah, Souldrinker becomes a tax to reach ES without some source of fire
I tried picking PC, but it did basically nothing
my experience was also
ES doesnt really do to much
against crushers you just tickle them with the EK either way
and everything else dies in 1 or 2 hits when at high DD stacks
meanwhile i can blep a couple poxers with DS and get MM
If only ES was a buff instead of a debuff.
EK isn't the most fully charge RMB staff too. Not to the degree inferno is, but still.
I might try dropping ES and using Shriek for horde clear. More quelling, but
i think if you were better at clicking on heads than me you would take precog on SG instead of anchor
i think shriek is fine, but then
i wouldnt run assail at all
and would stick with BB KF and probably take drinker
thing is i found that with this build i had solid tools for everything but got to keep a mobility weapon
wheras with the normal build it kinda needed FGS
also, MM is just such a strong buff
and ethereal + splitting is really, really good
MM is very strong. I just forget to re-up it too much
i mean i also think
if youre willing to just spam the EK into hordes you dont necessarily need it
but i got sick of doing that very quickly
You can use MM to buff your melee for when your need it.
A good point
Not the best use of MM, but also it's still doing something.
I am down to 18m dockets from like 23m. Too much gambling
more
I'm up to 20k melks from 0. 
gnight beans :)
quick 17 min auric with the surge surge i posted
it feels a lot like playing weapon specialist but with 3 things to swap between instead of 2
oh i know i was just saying that the dmg output is actually kinda insane
the MM on melee feels great and is always active
and when horde clearing its just a case of remembering to actually hit a few dudes with the sword first before assail spam
MM is a pretty fantastic node.

I do wish Channeled Force were less bad.
Anybody wanna play? I’m leveling my Psyker - lvl 17 atm
how does the Peril of the Warp actually work?
do you just die if you stay at 100 too long or wot?
it seems really unthreatening
just like
hit R???
Yes
bruh
100% is good
101% isn't
Living between 80 and 100 is the sweet spot
yup
however get into intense combat and you might learn why its not always so simple
or even lack thereof
i explode much more when theres too few enemies for my crutch (shriek) to come back 
Almost exploded 5 times yesterday because the game kept eating my input
i had to hit shriek 5 or 6 times at some points to actually get a shriek
make it a 0 - 100% cost and a large single pulse AOE then you might have something
This
Is not a bad idea yeh
I do believe I was a part of it on the old account
perhaps
Played with a smyker yesterday, somehow I still couldn't carry cells without getting hit
They use it for themselves, not you.
They are almost always locked in on the palpatine power fantasy, if they actually use smite tactically to help the team it's either a miracle or you're playing with me
Or a lucky for you accident.
Covering the objective is also helping them
don't care what they do the other 95% of the mission
Not keeping the heretics off themselves though. So unless they are positioned in the way through to the socket, GL.
They were pretty new
at least the other two did well
New and using smite... Sighs.
im just here zapping people with ek
EK is fine. Smite in 99% of hands isn't.
Yeh
I'm going to go play smite psyker right now :3
Why blame newer players for experimenting with the toys fatshark gives them. Better to complain at fatshark that the toy isnt good enough
I don't comment on it during the mission or do anything to punish them for playing it, so it's fine to share here afterwards to "vent" 
It was based. Multiple Thanks emotes have been received
Most people just come here to vent about shitty smykers. No names are named for most part.
I LIKE TO STAY ANNONYMOUS YES

nah; toy is insane; players are dogshit

Papa, have you actually seen pub smykers?
They get backstabbed and die in a corner somehow.
ofc; i am being half serious; you know me bby
Yes, and you know I can't read jokes.
Somehow? It's because the rest of the team ran full speed away as soon as they started smiting.
its smykers fault for not having awareness/ being in a poor position; team has nothing to do with it
This is false. Your smiteker only needs the minimum amount of body guarding and they'll clear the level for u.
Correction; does not need any unless boss focuses them if they are good enough
i know from experience
- not every boss too; some you can to a degree ignore while smiting
Also, if you just keep smiting hordes, that's on you.
People move when there's space to.
its good tho; why melee when i can just delete the stuff & other things together with it
Correction, they don't need any unless nurgles blessing is active
also toll, red stimm & green stimm (unless beaten through); other than that no need to babysit
Smiting hordes is like, the best way to clear a horde in under 6 seconds
which force greatsword mark is best?
Man I just lmb smite when I see someone about to get pounced from the back and stuff
Esp. mixed hordes with ragers and stuff
one with the heavy overhead and then the stab one; forgot the mark
or rmb smite when someone's in a bad position and about to lose health
They do no damage. This is pub smykers. I swear one can dueling sword horde clear faster on a ranged build.
bad smyker build then
just now I managed to perfectly time a smite to prevent a hivescum from losing hp to mutant slams
it was awesome
mk6 i assume?
check it yourself; i really can't remember
Why do you think ppl get angry. Avg pub smykers pause the game, can't even clear, and then die because random flanking poxxer.
Smite users give smite a bad name
Almost as obnoxious as knife zealot or shiv scummer
Is mk6.
Bonus, they don't even pause it when they need to.
See minigames/batteries.
I had a pub the other day where I basically just stood near my smiteker as zealot while they killed the whole map. I only killed the few plebs that somehow didn't get caught in the smite and crushers went down with 1 heavy overhead
The other 2 teammates had to be respawned at least once each because they would run off
What's the Psyker melee meta weapons atm?
both
I don't care about meta but fgs is generally the best for actual melee
Force sword and fgs are both good
Deflector + uncanny deimos force sword is quite safe for carapace ans gunners
Helpful in havoc
Obscurus has better TTK but no knockback
What do you mean by this?
Time to kill, knockback as in deimos mark being able to knock crushers on their ass with its heavy thrust
FGS?
Force greatsword
Takes notes
Deimos is a force sword mk
Dueling sword is no more?
Check pinned guides, six has put a lot of work into those builds and explenations
Didn't even know Deimos could do that
Duelling sword has better mobility but worse than force sword utility wise
Many, many psykers prefer force weapons
I can't not take deflector at this point. Turn your paper tiger into just regular tiger with complete immunity to gunfire and melee and demonhosts
I can't use deflector and haven't used it in over a year
either I forget about it or start treating every other weapon like it has deflector, it messes me up too much
The trick is not to play other weapons
I'm not playing to moonlight greatsword class to not use moonlight greatsword.
Simple as, really.
Moonlight greatsword also has deflector thankfully
Switching up weapons is fun though
esp on gun psyker
I can't just use one thing all the time
Tbh FGS is why I picked up psyker again.
FS/FGS has extra length?
FGS can hit further. Longer reach.
Damn? That's fucking sick lol
sword is long and so is the reach
it's peak
Gonna hop in game and fuck things up then
enjoying bubble knight but feel like im still dependent on my teammates beyond what id like; is there any other psyker setups youd reccomend with more carry potential? I feel like carapace clear is the big issue
Yeah that's universal. Especially for Psyker.
hi I build this build with your helps but I guess I am not that good. In damnation sometimes game feels is easy and sometimes really hard.
when I playing with venting shriek its become a little bit easier but I feel like I become more of a glass cannon
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0a5b21c-0f32-4e73-ae1a-92f63f35013e/akaelos (my one curio have 16 percent toughness other than that everything maxed out)
Most of the time I feel like random players run like mad man and agro everything (daemonhost) I need to play too carefully. also they are not sharing stims, ammo and medical stations
my downside is I am not that good about dodging bombers and daemonhost and I cant use effiecently the blaze sword and deflector.(also The other random players I've seen can't dodge the bomber.)
observe 😌
I recommend pointing at their chest and saying "What's that?" and then when they look down you flick their nose with your index finger. Then again some of their noses have rotted off so maybe lower your expectations.
"Very observant of you to notice. The force push triggers Uncanny Strike blessing from the sword causing carapace enemies like Crushers that normally only take 5% warpfire damage to take massive 100% instead at 5 stacks.
That small tick of damage from the force push hits the entire body so you don't have to specifically aim at an enemy's weakspot in order to trigger Uncanny; so long as the push connects it will do." wow is that true
yes
what build is that?
“Ultimate inferno psyker, so powerful it can even grill itself”
How do you do damage with smite
Step 1: smite
Step 2: keep smiting
Step 3: team kills you with barrels because you’ve caused so much psychic damage
See that middle keystone? See burny shriek?
What, im supposed to use fire with smite? And shriek instead of bubble shield?
as a staunch shield supporter of both flavors, EP-smite is one of the least shield friendly builds bc you give up so much compared to either shriek or SG-WU
A smite build do damage, or smite itself? Empowered psionics is the only way for smite itself, though bubble + smite EP is a de facto at the mercy of your team build because you will be weak
Well thats fine, Im a support main anyway
hard
So I run smite with shield and ws
Fire shriek, yes. You vent and and watch them burn dancing.
And as they die, they pass the burns to those still alive...
So they burn even more.
And more when the elites start dying as well.
Empowered psionics
Do not run fire shriek+smite it's unfortunately a meme
Yeah, is fun. But really, middle keystone is a must. Only smite with a charge or you do nothing.
ok
what am I doing wrong here
why is psycher so frustrating to play
Leveling psyker is pain because staves are bad at low levels
Like Sut said, lvling is horrible. I will just suggest using assail to at least 26~ before you get to really play around.
which mod disables inferno staff's flames
I dunno, I had a pretty good time with staves
Psyker is probably the hardest class to level/learn with since they dont have their good talents until later + their unique weapons scales with those talents so they also suffer. Psyker also neds to learn a class mechanic so for newer players to the game learning 2 mechanics (peril and basic game stuff) its overwhelming and often leads newer players to fail
its the hardest to level up by far
Are you using assail?
Keep looking to learn the game and class. It will be rough since information is spread out and sometimes arent true. But keep playing ans ask questions
some people learn with videos, so if this is you maybe watching some higher skilled playing psyker will help
are there are classess or approaches that arent that
Oggy.
Cornered? Dodge through horde.
Everyone else stuck without strong knockbacks.
Or really REALLY good horde clear.
my problem is just as much the difficulty as it is the class
I think I'd have a better chance at not losing every uprising game if I played with bots
every time
im the one doing everything
while my teammates are dead 75% of the game
and psycher just cant do that
it was fine with the other classes
It's uprising. Expect extreme newbies.
jokes on you, malice is even worse
Psyker is really hard to clutch with if you aren't basically the best.
Oh, I know. It gets even worse on heresy.
damnation is where it gets better really
Cos I can solo malice, but heresy gets spicier.
where players don't suck
Naw.
You still get ppl who clearly got carried out of heresy.
Anyways
I don't think I'll make it past 20 in psycher without rage uninstalling the game.
Best just pace out lvling psyker imo.
It if gets too stressful, play something more chill.
Damnation is 90% either a. Trying to escape heresy or b. Trying to get used to damnation conditions type of players which is why it's not the best. That being said it's perfectly fine (if not boring) to chill on for the experienced player
You'll find better players in hi intens shock troop auric or auric mael
you know
coming from hundreds of hours in vermintide I must say that fatshark really upped the difficulty here.
cause even cataclysm doesn't get as intense as some of the difficulties here
I think part of it is that few new players play vermintide
are we comparing with havoc or aurics
havoc
cause havoc is a little silly but any of the normal difficulties i would have to disagree with
I've only got like 100 hours in vt2, but in those hours i did climb to legend quickly and now i can comfortably solo it with my bots. I could not, however, solo damnation with bots at 100 hours in DT. That being said, DT was my first tide game so take that as you will
One thing thats for sure
DT buildcrafting took me far longer to grasp
the VT2 bots are also more compentent at the game which helps
though I am pretty sure they are the same bots actually
thats why the DT ones are so bad
Just no gear.
poor gear and they don't know how to deal with ranged
I swear if they had scaled gear and proper builds...
VT2 bots didn't have to deal with ranged like at all, and when they did didn't do well
Is just their guns do no damage.
They are using basically your starter greys.
it's more then that but that doesn't help
Local psyker bot gets smite + bubble, darktide player falls asleep soloing auric maels 
i've seen people do modded runs with proper geared bots
see you say that but I actualy liked playing on Legend with 3 bots because they actually dealt with specials more than the average Legend player 
also
4 players of the same class can play here
which in vermintide would be funny
4 ironbreakers would be impossible to kill lol
4 BW siennas would crash the game
i enjoy pskyer gameplay alot, frustrating when bubble knight cant clear enough and teammates ar ebeing dumb. Then some scum games they just somehow clear everything in seconds with no damage taken
I mean, 1 BW sienna with lingerstorm build does that already 
they actually carve through a melee reasonably well with proper gear, but as soon as a boss shows up or a group of shooters appear they folded iirc
You mean like, horde clear or?
just auric maelstroms with bad RNG and the crushers maulers start stacking mix in horde
oh better yet
4 outcast engi
with fire bomb builds
I suspect they are not properly coded to deal with the bosses of this game.
Just copypasta.
yep
Good enough to fill.
While a real player loads in and what not.
They should still get proper gear though, not all servers even have players.
Like, I can bet you if I play rn on the closest server to me, it would just be a solo.
At best, 1 other.
Purgatus is just always good
You're always good! >:(
And then you realise burn dump.
That really doesn't matter while leveling
dumping burn to make the weapon more balanced 
with maybe the exception of not using a damage dumped weapon the stats really do not matter until you reach auric
0% burn.
