psyker-class

[ripe obsidian]

I did

[tulip kettle]

sorry yeah i just didnt see it at the bottom

i forgo

[ripe obsidian]

I did fix the wounds

[tulip kettle]

but does the extra 2 wounds allow the one tap

[ripe obsidian]

Went from 8200 to 9100

Not a one-shot

[heavy dagger]

that seems better

[tulip kettle]

thats crazy

[ripe obsidian]

9200, sorry

Not a video, but

[tulip kettle]

okay

seems like with the right set up it should be possible

[ripe obsidian]

I didn't stack the damage on-hit thing

So probably

[tulip kettle]

any other talents you could take?

[deft stump]

Nuncio Thundahammah?

[tulip kettle]

do you have the 10% melee on the bottom left?

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

With headtaker stacked, it can one-shot

Also stacked Sustained Assault there

So that's +45% melee damage from hitting those doofuses

[buoyant maple]

It’s not 45%

[ripe obsidian]

Is it not additive?

[buoyant maple]

Headtaker is melee strength

Sustained assault is melee damage

[ripe obsidian]

Well. It's +something%

50% if multiplicative

I don't want to math

[buoyant maple]

Rot armor basically just heavily favors incremental AoE now

[ripe obsidian]

Return of the uncanny soulblaze.

I imagine krak still works fine, since it's explosive

[buoyant maple]

Isn’t rot armor for all damage now

[ripe obsidian]

Melee and ranged

Krak still works fine

DoTs still work fine

[buoyant maple]

Ok

[ripe obsidian]

I imagine scum bazooka if you get a couple damage buffs going

[buoyant maple]

Hive scum doesn’t have many global damage buffs that apply to explosion damage

[cold ivy]

i did some napkin math a while back and ~6 stacks of chem tox is enough to get a h40 rotten armor crusher back down to ~100% ehp vs ranged/melee (assuming you do many small hits instead of one big hit) because you really just need to take out the top 10% of their health, which accounts for 40% ehp out of the roughly 140% ehp rotten provides

but single big hits are still penalized cuz you can't benefit from the bonus damage below half health

[crisp ether]

you can also just literally spam toxin at them and they'll just die honestly

[cold ivy]

yeah

[crisp ether]

toxin is so stupidly strong against rotten armor

[cold ivy]

toxin ignores rotten entirely

probably our best way of dealing with new rotten tbh

[crisp ether]

until they decide to make DoTs also affected by the DR

[cold ivy]

nades also work but you don't get 20% of your nades back with every crusher killed

[ripe obsidian]

Closer to 150%, but toxin is goofy

[ripe obsidian]

4x krak vet meta, go.

[verbal thistle]

or just needle gun scum

[ripe obsidian]

I was responding to "until they decide to make DoTs also affected by the DR"

Which is to say, toxin wouldn't work

[verbal thistle]

ah

yes

[cold ivy]

4 krak vets means demo team restores 20% of a nade (on average) per elite/special killed

that's pretty good

[verbal thistle]

imagine if demo team was additive

sadly

its a full gamble

[cold ivy]

then it would be 80% of a nade per elite, which would be wild (assuming you mean demo team on 4 people stacks)

uncanny frag spam all day

though if it worked like survivalist where the game kept track of nade percentages (which is the other interpretation) it would be more reliable, yeah

[ripe obsidian]

I kinda don't want to do rotten armor H40. I did a couple yesterday and won, but it was a slog.

I ran rending trauma for CC and to help my team do some amount of damage

[strong gulch]

===========================================================================================================================

[plucky flax]

Rot is back?

What got removed?

[jovial juniper]

Idk

[thorn cedar]

our will to live

[strong gulch]

IDK why it's back when ir just left. It's been up for so long.

[patent steeple]

btw, any tips on what perks to run on mk6 FGS for meleeker? I use Unyielding + Carapace, but I'm kinda having trouble with flak enemies sometimes nowadays too, so was just wondering if swapping Unyielding to Flak or more crit chance (I already use Unstable and Shred/Riposte for the blessings, btw) would be better...

[verbal thistle]

what flak enemies give you trouble?

[plucky flax]

Hmm make sure you have dd keystone.

Flak should not be a problem.

[patent steeple]

I do have that, and yet I sometimes take too many swings to kill one of those dreg dudes with flak heads, or the scab dudes with flak torsos...

[plucky flax]

Shouldn't take that many. And also spam your fgs special more. Even 1 bar can clear chaffs.

Very important to get as low wr as possible.

To get unstable buff for the special slice.

[patent steeple]

I have 60% wr, and don't wanna get a brand new FGS with even lower starting value of wr, so 60% will have to do. (I can get close to 80 peril with only 2 special slices, so its fine imo)

[plucky flax]

Hmm it's more about maximising unstable for when you use special.

For example if my peril is like 20% with my sword when I cast special it jumps to 100% so it's maxed out and allows me to easily kill all chaffs with just 1 bar of the special gauge in h40.

So chaff clear is np for me.

Cos I only kill like 5 dudes then special spam with 1 bar.

As in use special every time it reaches 1 bar only when fighting horde.

My 29% wr gives 51% peril per special cast.

So easily get above 80%

Unstable + warp rider too obviously cos they work the same way.

[patent steeple]

I guess part of the problem is I have been running either battle med or the 10% less peril gen node for more assails during SG...

[modest perch]

more like battle mid

[unborn tendon]

is nice ?

[modest perch]

no

[unborn tendon]

more burnn?

[modest perch]

yeaj

needs 80

cloud radius is also range for some reason

[unborn tendon]

?

[plucky flax]

If you really want to keep gaze crack of bones is better.

[modest perch]

also bad

[plucky flax]

But I don't even use it.

[modest perch]

u want lowest warp res

[plucky flax]

I just get warp unbound subnode for gaze. Cos with new psykenetic aura it's back so often don't even need to prolong it.

[unborn tendon]

This is the one I'm using now; I don't know if it's worth changing it for this one.

[plucky flax]

Find a low wr like a normal person

[unborn tendon]

[lucid oriole]

Can someone help me do for the emperor 2 and 3

[leaden wind]

Warp resistance 60, everything else 80

[atomic flicker]

do 2 bubble shield toughness bonus stack

[spice aurora]

Depending on dd stacks you should be able to outright 1 hit them or at the most 2 hit for scab ragers, in havoc 40

Usually try to pick perks, if no specific hits to kill threshold is thought of, that help kill the biggest threats such as ur carapce unyield

I wouldnt worry about flak on it tbh

[plucky flax]

Ye but you dont want 2 bubble guys cos thats low damage. If there are 2 psykers only 1 guy should run bubble. The other go gaze or shriek

[cedar delta]

thoughts on this build? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0a667cd-4d49-4f68-8cf8-2f1ee57eab29/melee-focus-havoc-40-focus?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

[dull scroll]

it's written by the greatest FGS user on this discord 😏

[cedar delta]

i don't remember writing this

[dull scroll]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NY-yBeGuhy8 do you remember doing this then?

[cedar delta]

oh yeah thats me

[somber basalt]

do cleave work on smite ?

or is it only for melee atk

[ripe obsidian]

Cleave works on melee and ranged attacks. It does not work on Smite.

[somber basalt]

oh, svad

sad

[ripe obsidian]

I just added that to the Bonanza like yesterday or today. :O

[spice aurora]

I used walls ironically cause they were shit and we run a lot of crap builds in havoc for fun

Then I was like ayo this kinda nice

And now I literally never use bub. I mostly scriers but if I can tell a team will need it ill use that build for wall

Edit: I can show you in a h40 if you wanna see the impact

[ripe obsidian]

I'll add your SG build too, if you want

Bury me in builds

[spice aurora]

Its pretty similar to ainz’s just slightly different and still using ek staff

I think ainz has like one talent pt different but literally curios, rolls, all the same

[plucky flax]

Bubble knight vs wall knight moment

[spice aurora]

bruh moment

A lot of the guide is in the written part I try to write how to play it so its less about talents and whatnot

[cedar delta]

yeah i haven't played with walls/bubble a lot, gotta learn a bit

[spice aurora]

Bubble is brainless theres no learning component xD

Like a bad bubble is still pretty good

[strong gulch]

I wouldn't say no learning.

Much lower skill floor for sure tho.

[spice aurora]

Yea like putting it up a little more or for pushing but even a bad placement still does a lot

[zealous wing]

bubble is also imo best used for getting dumbasses to move forward when they wont, a wall wont do that

if im taking a shield to a random havoc for some reason, its gonna be bubble, because 9 times out of 10 the front liner will refuse to move forward when its time to move, instead turning a 25-45 minute mission into a 90 minute one if they had their way

never will understand people who linger, spawn more shit, then wonder why theres so much shit

walls would NEVER help in that situation, walls arent reliable enough

[cold ivy]

personally i think i like it best when the vet sets the pace. i can't fully explain why

i think it's probably because the vet tends to be the primary special sniper and unanswered specials make runs really miserable, so moving before they're "ready" tends to end poorly (especially if they're running an overspecialized build like ds plasma krak or whatever is meta these days)

plus you can normally see armor and bosses on the approach so even if your frontliner is lagging behind, the team will back up as the frontliner is coming forward to pick up the threat and it'll work out

[zinc phoenix]

I feel so validated that there is another wall enjoyer, I did the literal same thing 😂

“I’m so sick of mega buggy bursters fuck it wall gaming… wait this is amazing 🤩”

I did a cozy wizard thing instead of replacing the bubble in bubble knight but it makes total sense doing that

[spice aurora]

Ngl bursters walk thru walls every couple games xD always vigilant w those fatties

[zinc phoenix]

Truth, it’s why I like wall + trauma. One stop burster bursting

[spice aurora]

I play p aggressive so I usually run ahead so I use the walls more for myself ngl

[zinc phoenix]

Now that there’s been a patch and a single burster can’t solo the entire map I’m going back to melee 😂

[cedar delta]

down to watch a stream of you in h40 with the build

[zealous wing]

lmfao i cant, someone in LFG asking people to leave a negative steam review because rotten armour too hard i guess, even though its already been "nerfed" (fixed)

like, oh no i cant 2 shot this crusher with my toothpick, havoc too hard, fat shark please bend to my whims of easy h40 clear

[zinc phoenix]

Rotten armor isn’t too hard it’s just too boring

Doubles the length of the mission because they keep the same spawn count

[zinc phoenix]

I’d love to see it changed too

[zealous wing]

it probably wont

they want to push hive scum

[zinc phoenix]

Fewer, tougher crushers would be great

[white sky]

I thought the RA packs were extra enemies?

[zealous wing]

arby gets rebreather and shock mines, rotten armour added
scum releases with 100% corruption immunity, blight comes back
scum gets rocket launcher mega buffed, rotten armour back

[zinc phoenix]

Idk. I just know damage done goes massively up because RA takes forever

It drove me out of havoc because I don’t have 120m at a time for missions 😂

[zealous wing]

six was probably right, this pattern really does make it feel havoc is just DLC pushing

[white sky]

I just find RA+Blight Spreads cancerous tbh

[zealous wing]

just bring a hive scum or two, seems what their plan is

stim supply erases blight

[zinc phoenix]

i bought the dlc, i just dont want to deal with blight or ra

[zealous wing]

rockets are mega strong too, limited supply, but, that plus tox, plus an inferno psyker perhaps, and its easy clear if theres coherency

also considering scum can currently outdamage inferno shriek psyker, its just dumb

which means i call bullshit on the whole playtesting "h40 never doing again 4 scum" thing

4 hive scum is likely to actually slaughter the whole map easily

[zinc phoenix]

Having playtested for several RTS/TBS you don’t always figure out the meta strats even if they seem obvious in retrospect

[zealous wing]

immune to range, immune to melee, insane toughness regen talents, extremely strong DoTs, infinite ammo, its hard to not see its overly strong right out of the gate

its fun but like

for how long is it gonna be fun, when its hard to actually fail

same boat as arby

we brought me as a hive scum to h30 to test, when i had freshly leveled it to 30, and i didnt run any sort of meta build, and i suck at havocs, and i still was the last alive at end event both attempts we ran

idk if dom still has the scoreboard, i dont remember when exactly we did that

but i also know i didnt linger behind others scared to take damage, i was fighting things, mainly melee

ik h30 isnt as severe as h40, but to give frame of reference, i tend to fumble a lot even at h25 as a psyker, which is my main

long winded way to say, it was pretty obvious right out of the box hive scum was absolutely broken strong

[ripe obsidian]

I saw someone on reddit arguing that scum was weak until the talent shuffling.

[zealous wing]

there's been tons of people with severe skill issues saying its weak both before and after

[ripe obsidian]

the stimm cooldown here mildly amuses me

@spice aurora why BB instead of Assail?

Wait, you might have written why in the guide

I should read that

You did, never mind.

Inferno

Check the pinned build guide

Inferno stick merely requires you look in the vague direction of things you dislike

[deft stump]

Same reason I put BB on an idiotproof meleeker build. Less peril management.

Probably.

[atomic flicker]

i'm new from last month's sale so i dont have that many h40 games, but ive noticed

ive had a couple of havoc 40 games where some people get mad in pubs when you dont pick bubble shield as psyker

is this the meta in h40 and psyker is relegated to bubble shield bot or the other 2 blitz are still viable?

one russian ogryn i played with earlier got so mad at the start of the game he just kept talking in vc and refused to play properly lmao

[sturdy reef]

a lot of pub bots in group finder think that psyker either runs bubble or is trolling

[ripe obsidian]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1ptdxmk/omnissiah_is_it_time/

[patent jacinth]

No

Its not

[ripe obsidian]

One month in and already running H40s. My lord. It took me more than a month to be brave enough for Auric Damnation back when that existed.

Anyway, no, Inferno + bubble is not mandatory by any means.

[atomic flicker]

22 days technically, but i have 2k hours in vermintide so im not really a newbie

[ripe obsidian]

I have recently done H40s with (my own build or others'):

Inferno + Shriek
Blazing Trauma + Shriek
Rending Trauma + Bubble
FGS + EK + flat shield
FGS + EK + SG

[atomic flicker]

tbf gunners are really annoying with the current lineup of modifiers

[ripe obsidian]

As in, within the last 48 hours

[nocturne wasp]

I was in the same boat. Now im 300 hours in and have a single havoc run

[jovial juniper]

Realistically
You can play all 3 abilities on havoc

[atomic flicker]

yeah i won my first h40 with jeficus build shriek inferno

but i keep running into pubs that can't clear gunners effectively sadly

[ripe obsidian]

In at least 3 of those games, we had no defensive abilities, no golden toughness, still won

2x scum, 1x arby, 1x psyker

[atomic flicker]

i need a sienna beam staff in this game

[inland ice]

i dont play havocs at all

[nocturne wasp]

Lasgun

[ripe obsidian]

That's not in the bonanza. >:(

[nocturne wasp]

Basically a beam weapon

[atomic flicker]

it's not that fun ngl, it's an unfair challenge

but th diamantine loot is so damn good

[atomic flicker]

but i want staff cause magic

[inland ice]

i have stockpiled so much

Me too, friend

[atomic flicker]

im new so i only have 40k

[atomic flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/tradfi-real-users-meet-crypto-gif-24004753

[inland ice]

but yeah i dont rlly have the time to wait around for havocs esp since i havent climbed the ladder yet

and i have nobody to play wit

so i just play auric pubs and die a lot

800 hrs vt2 and 900 hrs darktide

still ass

[atomic flicker]

i just go pubs but it's not a good experience

ther there's a lot of h40 in hong kong even in weekdays

[inland ice]

i only play vraks iag gunker

nothing else

scriers gaze

[atomic flicker]

but in my experience a lot of people here in my server just tend to go solo and not team play

which causes a lot of lost runs

[inland ice]

which I did not understand scriers for my first like 400 hrs

back when i mained ilas vet

[nocturne wasp]

That is simply the vast majority of Tide players.
Thinking that pressing buttons and killing things means they're so good they don't have to work as a team In a cooperative team game

[atomic flicker]

hard to communicate in SEA server too cause there's so many languages here

so even if we all have vc, we can't understand each other

wish darktide had chaos wastes

mortis trials is fortunes of war with some chaos wastes blessings

need a full roguelite mode in DT

[nocturne wasp]

I'm still a little angry fuckshart doubled the size of my VT2 game file with a non optional game mode nobody asked for.

[atomic flicker]

with the same BS powerful combos

[atomic flicker]

delete weaves

weaves is just havoc but worse

[nocturne wasp]

Not a problem now but on ps4 when 10 extra gigs means you have to delete a game in order to dl an update it was frustrating

[atomic flicker]

delete versus too

[nocturne wasp]

I went from being able to have 3 games dpwnloaded to 2

Can't delete anything on console. I had no fucking choice in the matter

Was furious

But quit D2 shortly after so had plenty of room to spare

Salt washed away with time

[atomic flicker]

lightfall made me check it out again

but bungie did what bungie does

[nocturne wasp]

It's sad. The Sandbox is in such a good state. Best its ever been. Close range/melee/glaives builds are so good and so many other ways to play are balanced out.
But the game they expect you to use these builds in is still garbage and as long as they stay intent to die on the Tiger engine hill, They WILL die on it.

[deft stump]

Is HK, everyone fighting to be number one and only they can run dps 'carry' builds.

[deft stump]

Most part, everyone knows English to some degree. I live there.

[atomic flicker]

some countries are ESL but not all

SEA/APAC is a big place

70%+ of the names in my lobbies are boxes (non EN characters)

[atomic flicker]

hive scum are the worst at this

[deft stump]

Funny thing is, some are actually China/HK ppl playing in SEA.

You can tell from their accent.

[deft stump]

But even then, for most part, they understand it even if they can't speak it well. Especially the teen/young adult generation.

[deft stump]

As for this, yeah. You either play support or rejected.

[potent echo]

HK is like the most populated server

Everyone usually goes there to play

And yea they are very gatekeeping

I took a leaf from unsanctioned's playbook and changed to a Chinese name, got accepted into way more havoc games lmao

[deft stump]

I don't wanna say certain things, but is true.

[potent echo]

It's just how it us

[deft stump]

Gotta be like them or yeah.

[potent echo]

I got called 老外 so many times and they keep blaming me even though they are so ass

[deft stump]

Heh. Cos they best, you suck, even if they are dead.

[potent echo]

Don't pre aggro just drop and they all die and it's my fault for not dropping and dying too

[deft stump]

Honestly, that's not the worst they use either.

[potent echo]

I mean their names are much worse lmao

[deft stump]

You could be a white ghost/demon instead.

[potent echo]

That one is east asian on east asian hate

[deft stump]

XD

[potent echo]

I wanted to have something Japanese in my name but it'll probably be worse given the current climate

[deft stump]

That's sudoku lvl.

And APAC north is dead.

That's JP/Korea servers based on ping.

My suspicions is JP. Since it matches up with DOTA2 JP servers.

[potent echo]

It's the same ping I get to Tokyo, so it should be there

And yea it's very rare to find players let alone havocs there

Does chocoB play on HK servers

[icy isle]

So I've barely played any psyker and when I did peril worked differently because I remember seeing a change to it. So you don't explode anymore? Does it just restrict you from using abilities and such at 100% or how does that work now?

[deft stump]

I suspect if any exist, they just eat the ping and go SEA.

Nobody really knows if you say nothing anyway.

[deft stump]

You do. There was a bug because FS recently that prevented it.

[potent echo]

It was bugged, now they fixed it I think

[nocturne wasp]

Staves still boom immune?

[icy isle]

Oh, I'm guessing it's still not fixed then? Because I was just Palpatine-ing my way through hordes with no explosions. Full infinite power lightning lol

[potent echo]

I saw psykers go boom recently

[deft stump]

Is fixed. Smite just needs to be nerfed to self explode.

That will teach smykers.

[icy isle]

Ah, gotcha.

[icy isle]

lol But..but....UNLIMITED POWERRR! 😂

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

[deft stump]

Learn to manage peril or use SG and manage 10 sec timer.

[icy isle]

Yea, Like I said, haven't played much of him yet. Just buzzing the crap out of hordes is so fun.

[nocturne wasp]

I struggle to not use sg on psyker. Only exception is fire shriek on a flame build

[icy isle]

Fire Shriek? I'm guessing that's Venting Shriek and an Inferno Staff?

[nocturne wasp]

Sure.
If I knew what it was called I would have used the right name

Lol

Just a build centered around setting things on fire any way I can

[deft stump]

It's just it can ruin the game for others if over used.

[icy isle]

All good, I'm just starting psyker anyway so I wouldn't have known the proper name regardless😅.

[deft stump]

Is why everyone wants it changed.

But if just starting, play around, just know it might lead to bad habits.

[nocturne wasp]

Everyone claims to like holding m1 and w, yet they apparently can't do that while a smyker is smyking.

[deft stump]

More, they can't get their buffs.

Too many on dodge buffs.

[nocturne wasp]

Yeah, that is problematic

[deft stump]

Is worse on vet, you wanna dodge 5 in a row lul.

[jovial juniper]

I fell back to h10 due to inactivity+reset

💀

Ain't going to climb back to h25

Don't wanna

[ripe obsidian]

Why 25?

[deft stump]

Some sit there to help ppl get their pants.

I would assume.

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

[deft stump]

Cos the rest can be gotten grinding h1.

[ripe obsidian]

Who needs pants?

[nocturne wasp]

I've only ever done one 24 havoc. How do you get the cosmetics?

[deft stump]

That one specifically requires h25.

[deft stump]

Win 1 H25, win 100 havoc games, help with 100 havoc missions and win.

50 for the latter two is the point for the cosmetics.

100 is just title and that thing next to your frame.

[nocturne wasp]

I only want the green one that comes from opening x chests

But also all the cosmetics for all the classes

[deft stump]

Then you just need to spend half a year winning 1 match of havoc a week.

[ripe obsidian]

Pants are for squares

[nocturne wasp]

Damn I already fucked that up

I'll start in the new year

[deft stump]

I think it's 5~ months, but eh.

Still in the ball park.

[jovial juniper]

Ayo wear some pants

[ripe obsidian]

No. >:(

[jovial juniper]

You got to your underwear out

[nocturne wasp]

I payed a lot of money for my classy comfy shorts. Why wouldn't I show them off?

[deft stump]

Only the base 4, but then you need 1x H25, 49X assists to others (They count to the win 50 havocs as well. Why nobody hosts and everyone wants to join.).

[nocturne wasp]

That's all I have to do to never need to do havoc again?

[deft stump]

Yep.

[nocturne wasp]

[deft stump]

If you don't care for True Survivor and Havoc Exemplar.

[ripe obsidian]

I want False Survivor

[nocturne wasp]

I care only for cosmetics

[deft stump]

Then yes, H25 and then grinding low havocs for 49 assists.

[nocturne wasp]

On each class

[deft stump]

On one. Or any.

It's shared progress.

Just gotta win them.

[nocturne wasp]

That's good to know

[deft stump]

I literally only play Zealot and Arby so...

Well, vet now but that's really low havocs only.

I just don't trust my aim.

[nocturne wasp]

I enjoy variety, have like 3 builds for every class and I'll play any on a whim

[deft stump]

I mean for havocs.

I play whatever hits the mood for below havocs.

[strong gulch]

This single suspender is clearly doing something.

It's totally holding up my pants.

[nocturne wasp]

I'm 3 pens away from pseudo shirtless, then I can go back to my main

Everyone has False Survivor it came free with your Darktide purchase

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, I got scammed

[spice aurora]

I don’t stream anymore unless you meant in discord xD I can load into solo h40 and fug around for 10 min before dying again and upload.

[ripe obsidian]

Just tried meleeker for the first time in Havoc. Went decently. Would have been better if my Arby and Oggy hadn't hidden behind me.

Did blow my head up once when I thought I had SG

was not H40, only H32, I guess I can forgive them for being spooked of enemies

I got pretty frustrated at the 2 downs that weren't from my headsplosion.

One was because someone ignored or missed a burster, so I got caught on the edge of it when it hit them

The other was when the scum ran away from shotgunners and led them to me while I was reviving the oggy

Then he kept running and the arby had to come revive us both

Still, it was a successful enough first run. I'll need to practice more. I do like using KF instead of Assail, and then EK for ranged.

[strong gulch]

Seems solid. KF can really shore up a hit.

Sorry about the scum running away.

Seems odd.

I don't know scum very well, and I've mostly done melee. So if I don't run at ranged enemies, I die.

I had some weird bursters today.

One I could not push at all. Luckily rampage ran out just in time to force a stagger.

[ripe obsidian]

Eh, was H32. I don't expect perfect players. Especially on the new class.

[ripe obsidian]

I've seen that a few times this week. It's not ideal.

[strong gulch]

ye

[ripe obsidian]

I do really like LMB EK as a sidearm with meleeker

[strong gulch]

Ye

I've done that a couple times. Not in havocs.

[ripe obsidian]

This was my first time trying it

[strong gulch]

I've been calling it pocket CC.

[ripe obsidian]

It does have good suppression

And with SG's near-permanent uptime, it's also almost as reliable as a recon lasgun for non-boss enemies

Also quite accurate

[strong gulch]

ye

slower and harder to aim projectile

but you also have RMB for just in case

[ripe obsidian]

I don't think I have used EK RMB for a while

I have fallen into the surge surge pit

It's quite funny to me that the Arby in the last game had more doggo kills than self-kills.

[strong gulch]

dog doing dog things

[ripe obsidian]

424 kills w/ melee and ranged
475 doggo + blitz + bleed kills

[wraith sphinx]

All bark all bite

[strong gulch]

[ripe obsidian]

Can I replace bots with 3 arby dogs?

[wraith sphinx]

I wish.

[strong gulch]

In true solo or creature spawner with the bots mod, you can get arby bots but the dogs are invisible. There's just a dog marker bobbing around. IDK if the dog does anything.

[wraith sphinx]

Do psyker bots still crash the game?

[summer prairie]

they arent invisible

[strong gulch]

I've never had then crash my game.

[ripe obsidian]

Spooky doggo ghost

[strong gulch]

are they just a marker?

[summer prairie]

dogs look like dogs

[strong gulch]

I've not had them render.

I also haven't spawned one in awhile, so maybe there was a change.

could just be my end

[summer prairie]

with tertium 5 you can run multiple arbi bots

with dogs

[strong gulch]

I'll try that instead of bot spawner.

[lucid oriole]

Came someone help me with the for the emperor 2 penance

[ripe obsidian]

oooh, I didn't know this mod exists. Is it any good?

[ripe obsidian]

Wot is the penance?

[lucid oriole]

Warp battery and going out with a bang

[ripe obsidian]

Which part is causing you difficulty?

[summer prairie]

for what, playing solo? I guess, I think it can crash though. Especially with 4 dogs

[lucid oriole]

The warp battery

[ripe obsidian]

Well, you'll need to pick Warp Siphon (left side keystone) and not use your combat ability. Each charge lasts for 25 seconds, so you need to max it out by killing things, then keep it maxed for 120 seconds.

[strong gulch]

avoid missions with airlocks or elevators

[spice aurora]

That’s y I use in my build, I can absolutely feel the loss of 20% free crit with other staves

Its like nothing dies vs everything dies and no inbetween

[ripe obsidian]

I am enjoying breaking out of my Inferno rut. Still like Inferno a lot, but it does get stale. If only the havoc modifiers were better.

But I am gonna be away from my PC for a week or so, so I will lose all my muscle memory and go back to struggling at uprising.

[spice aurora]

Same

Whenever I take a break for a week, its like

“Whoa I can produce 3d images on a 2d screen? Wtf is going on, I can move a character around??”

Ape brain engage

[marble crater]

You don't lose muscle memory that quickly, speaking as someone who took a several month break at some point

[wraith sphinx]

I think the perception is only as such because of the incredible variations to both AI director spawning behavior and the skill level of people you match up with, if quickplaying

[strong gulch]

The game seems SO fast even after a few days away.

[marble crater]

Maybe you just need to take more speed

[spice aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/trippy-lets-party-drunk-gif-13730846

Me when there are like 2 specials out and I take a break for 3 days

[brittle galleon]

my beloved is telling me that Warp Resistance is best dump stat for staves, can anyone confirm?

[marble crater]

Yes

Except VoidSTRIKE dumps radius

[deft stump]

Is gaming in general. Need time to get back into the motions.

[quartz barn]

Lower fov makes the game seem slower

[deft stump]

You mean sicker. Too low and too high, blargh.

[quartz barn]

Can always play ogryn too i guess

[deft stump]

Nope, don't like.

And I mean fov, not height.

[strong gulch]

Yes and no. Nothing does this to me like darktide does.

It's like my guts being gassy with creamer in my coffee vs having a notably bad time if I eat mac n cheese.

I can't do high FOV because it makes me sick.

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/did-i-read-that-right-wait-confused-hold-on-one-second-gif-11900732

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah, I feel that! Darktide is a demanding, challenging game

[deft stump]

I get it.

[night marten]

Took a break for three years, its like riding a bike

[shy mural]

I just tried using a controller to play for the first time, it took me a minute to figure out how to side step lol

it felt so awkward

also can't aim for my life using thumbs

[potent echo]

Anyone ever tried those funky steam controllers

[urban creek]

Yea my dad has one

They are kinda wacky to use like feel wise

@potent echo

[potent echo]

do they help with FPS or nah

[mint siren]

i don't understand inferno staff or why it's good

every time i use it i feel like i get mauled and i don't know when to RMB/LMB

[plucky flax]

Real

[urban creek]

@potent echo tbh a normal Xbox controller feels better and tbh I never really used it all that much.

But I would assume they wouldn’t be bad for fps games

[deft stump]

Till stick drift after a week.

[urban creek]

Pretty much

[deft stump]

Better off with a TMR controller nowadays.

[urban creek]

That’s why I’m using a Hall effects 8bitdo controller kinda nice feeling to use actually

Cause it’s good for both pc and any other system

[deft stump]

Don't like even if evernight one is pretty. Membrane buttons lul.

[urban creek]

Yea the membrane buttons are a bit wacky aye

But apart from those it’s a pretty well built controller for the price

[deft stump]

I know.

[urban creek]

also I was getting annoyed at the price to just replace actual Xbox controllers being stupid expensive cause name brand

[marble crater]

Original Xbox controllers are not worth their price, same for the elite

[deft stump]

Yep, $20-$30 more but lasts like 5% of the time of third party.

[wraith sphinx]

Another entry for Rizztide 😳

[marble crater]

[night marten]

LMB + dodge back to setup, RMB to 30%

[deft stump]

At least you get that instead of ppl getting creepy at my psyker.

[wraith sphinx]

Would my psyker getting called a 'goth mamacita' constitute creepy

[mint siren]

30% peril or 30% charge on the RMB?

[night marten]

The latter

[mint siren]

[marble crater]

No

[wraith sphinx]

Ok understood

[ripe obsidian]

What if I don't know how to ride a bike?!

[marble crater]

Then you can't transport yourself quickly over long distances with just your body as the motor

[atomic flicker]

triple psyker lesgo

[ripe obsidian]

I bike to and from work, for reference. I am just bein' silly

[ripe obsidian]

Vect, bruh moment, and I did a triple psyker H40 the other day. They're both better than me, so I mostly got carried

[marble crater]

[ripe obsidian]

:D

[tardy pumice]

do you guys just take this for bubble?

[wooden sand]

Take the rest because regening toughness for doing nothing is good

[zealous wing]

thats how you troll with bubble

[summer prairie]

the toughness part is almost as good as the ranged immunity

[tardy pumice]

warp nexus vs penetrating flame?

[deft stump]

I have two staves. Former is generally better.

[tardy pumice]

hm ive been using penetrating flames forever, havent tried warp nexus

is it situational?

like both are strong in different scenarios

~20% crit chance does sound rly good lol

maybe penetrating flames is better because your entire team benefits from it?

and i guess especially now with rotten armour

[white valley]

Penetrating is good, nexus isn't as mandatory since the talent rework

Both are fine either way

[zealous wing]

penetrating flames is... meh at best

its functional but doesnt seem to be necessary unless you have no idea how to stack uncanny

[tardy pumice]

could you explain more pls?

what in the talents makes nexus not mandatory anymore?

[white valley]

Free 5% crit chance node + souldrinker means 10% more base crit chance than before

[white valley]

Penetrating is still helpful for the team even if you use uncanny

[tardy pumice]

and you'd stack uncanny with force blade push?

[white valley]

If you're fighting crushers + lots of other enemies, are you going to stop flaming to stack uncanny or are you just going to keep flaming the lighter units? Because I'd do the latter

[tardy pumice]

yea

just flaming basically

[white valley]

That is the easiest way yes, but obviously DS and Combat Blade can stack uncanny too

[tardy pumice]

ok so penetrating flames better then

unless you have some other class to cause brittle

[white willow]

I cant succeed in auric with randoms. Is problem me or them? I am not the best player but every random I encounter cant counter a pox bomber 😭

[tardy pumice]

idk would have to see gameplay footage

or more info

[night marten]

Guess you have no choice but to play ogryn

[white valley]

You can push or explode poxbursters before they get close

Voidblast staff for example always blows them up with the RMB

Inferno can push them from a far distance with LMB

[supple pine]

Absolutely and just to add, you can hear them a mile away

[strong gulch]

busters have been sus

[winged trail]

auric pubbies can be inconsistent and yeah bursters have been sus lately

[potent echo]

they unsused them

unless its the sound

thats always been sus

[winged trail]

nah not the explosion size bug theyre just not exploding a lot despite being well within range

they kiss me on the lips and i shove them and they havent even started exploding

[wraith sphinx]

it's the wheel of fortune but not as much as auric maels specifically

[winged trail]

sound bug is eternal however i hate it

[wraith sphinx]

tho admittedly I like playing normal aurics over maels now

[winged trail]

auric maels give such godawful teammates sometimes

leavers out the ass getting their ASS

[wraith sphinx]

and also toxic tryhard noobs talking up a good fight

I think most of the ppl I blocked were from auric mael matches

[strong gulch]

no sound, not exploding when pushed, running up to you and exploding without jumping, being immune to pushes and the only way the burster got pushed was rampage going on cooldown

thanks forced stagger

[white valley]

They've been fixed now

[strong gulch]

this was all yesterday

totally fatshark fixed

[white valley]

I mean that the explosion radius increase was fixed

The push thing seems aggro related

[strong gulch]

yes the explosion radius fixed

but i was also the only one in range

[white valley]

Just shoot them

Best solution

Shoot all poxbursters before they get close

[strong gulch]

yes when they silently appear next to you

[winged trail]

i would if their audio wasnt fucked half the time

[strong gulch]

shoot them

[white valley]

Yes

[ocean totem]

Why don’t you go and get off your augur… I’m feeling romantical

[tulip kettle]

penetrating flames propaganda?

in MY christian psyker chat?

[strong gulch]

It's a dom

[patent steeple]

btw, I am really starting to like KF FGS meleeker with a staff.

the only problem is that idk whether to use Vstrike and MM or Surge EK and Combustion... (MM doesn't stack all that well with EK RMB spam ime...)

[sturdy reef]

I got all arbites penancrs last night

Im not touching the class again until FS spice them up

Scummer is way more fun

[ripe obsidian]

Oh no. I am worst at Oggy

A wild Balsco appears

[ripe obsidian]

EK is better. VS is more fun.

[ripe obsidian]

Funny how Arby went from being OP to being boring with only a few changes

[sturdy reef]

Still good, just boring

[quiet inlet]

bonk science

[sturdy reef]

I prefer doggo over lone wolf all day

[ripe obsidian]

Doggo is more fun

[ripe obsidian]

I am practicing bonking on Psyker. Trying meleeker in Havoc.

[zealous wing]

its still op, thats why its boring

but its also never been good at anything, just, not dying

[white willow]

I wasnt died to pox bombers they died 🙁

[ripe obsidian]

Eh. I don't think Arby is OP. I think it's middle of the pack with Oggy. A good Psyker, Scum, or Vet have more impact.

Good at surviving and a decent frontliner if built for it. But otherwise just good at most things. Jack of all trades, master of none

[white willow]

how can I be more impactfull I cant pass the total damage to hivescums is that normal

[vast yew]

more soulblaze

Also don't worry about total damage that much

[white willow]

Also @ripe obsidian I am using yours bubble inferno build

[white valley]

I am finding tacaxe + boltgun arby quite fun

[ripe obsidian]

More soulblaze doesn't solve this issue. Scum kills enemies before soulblaze kicks in.

[leaden thunder]

^

scum just kills things so fast

[white willow]

this happened to me

[leaden thunder]

sometimes it is literally not possible to get your damage out becuase a half-decent scum shot the horde with unlimited ammo

[ripe obsidian]

The v2 one? I found it to be pretty good. But your role with it is 100% horde clear and support, so it's not flashy.

[ripe obsidian]

I might try boltgun. I just swapped from bistol to the arby shotgun.

[white willow]

I dont want to be flashy but I want to finish missions. People are dying too fast and I cant carry theirs asses

[ripe obsidian]

What difficulty? Auric?

[white willow]

yes

[ripe obsidian]

Hmmm.

Bubble + revive speed curios does a lot to help keep teammates upright

[white valley]

Dog and tacaxe let you handle everything human sized, boltgun is there just for occasional sniping, crushers and bosses

[ripe obsidian]

What do you notice as being the primary thing that murders teammates?

[white willow]

yea I should change they were gunner defence

[ripe obsidian]

I use CDR/revive/gunner.

[white willow]

pox bombers and people playing not together

[white willow]

mine cdr/toughnes/gunner

also inferno vs voidblast which one do you preffer

voidblast soulblaze one

[marble crater]

Voidblast because it's more fun

[wraith sphinx]

I run two rez speed perks on every psyker build

[wraith sphinx]

Voidblast can opener

[white willow]

I guess I just need friends

[ripe obsidian]

I think I prefer Inferno, but Voidblast is more dynamic. I think blazing Voidblast kinda needs Shriek to be fully effective, though, since the soulblaze is capped at... 8? I think. From the staff

[white willow]

let me send my build

[ripe obsidian]

Only 2?

[wraith sphinx]

Yeah, it's enough

I only run 3 rez speed perks on scum

[ripe obsidian]

Only so much you can do against either of those, I am afraid. A different staff might let you snipe bombers more easily

[ripe obsidian]

Game is hard, people are bad, and Psyker is often one of the worse clutch classes.

[white willow]

I noticed

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=a0aa00ea-26dd-4a27-a746-1910cac508c4

crit on stuff sounds like a good idea.

I dont have health cruio right now I will change it when I got it.

[ripe obsidian]

The only things I changed in v2 of the build is swapping unyielding to crit chance and Warp Ghost to Quietude

I think

[white willow]

I will try that version

[ripe obsidian]

Reason being, bubble build is less able to do boss damage than shriek, so crit chance helps with everything else

And while Warp Ghost is very good, the extra toughness from Quietude helps me stay upright when not in bubble

[vast yew]

Do you run bubble or the double shield

Because I thought it was bubble but that link has the 2x shield

[ripe obsidian]

I use bubble on Inferno and I am trying to learn 2x shield for meleeker

Because bruh moment makes it look fun

[vast yew]

Btw I was trying out some builds and learned the hard way not to take Just a Dream on my EK Scream-spam build

Blew myself up a few times by getting shot when I was at high peril right before letting a secondary fire off

[ripe obsidian]

Yuuuuuup

Same thing happened to me

Now I take JaD only on meleeker builds

JaD killed me that way, and in tox bomber gas by making it impossible for me to cast because my peril kept jumping straight back to 97%

So I died due to impotence

[vast yew]

Yeah it's great on Gunker but still gotta be careful when throwing Assail around

[ripe obsidian]

I was using KF + EK meleeker last night

Was honestly more fun than assail + gun

Felt like a Bladesinger wizard

[vast yew]

The coolest blitz for melee Psyker IMO is the Smite node that makes your heavy attacks electrocute things.

Not super effective, to be honest (though it does let you passively stack MM), but very cool

[ripe obsidian]

It is nifty.

Assail makes it easier to stack MM than EK.

That is a good point

[wraith sphinx]

Mm and ek are like bread n butter

Accept few to no substitutes

[ripe obsidian]

LMB EK feels like a wizardly version of recon

It's just more fun

[vast yew]

with the bonus of having access to the secondary fire to stagger stuff

If/when needed

[acoustic jacinth]

Right? I wish M2 was just as strong. I dream of the day surge procs on M2 and we get double lightning

[vast yew]

The fact that literally doubling the damage of the M2 might make it good speaks volumes to the state of EK methinks

Though honestly I still like using it as a way to rapidly and somewhat safely build Peril

Plus the whole "Unlimited Power" aspect is just cool

Pair with a Force Sword w/ Red skin to complete the Sith look

[acoustic jacinth]

Well, yeah, had this discussion not too long ago actually

M1 EK with precog SG and DD is actually a staff "niche" that is very strong. But other than that EK by itself has nothing exceptional

On the other hand inferno is inferno and voidblast is versatile, it can provide amazing support accross the board

And then voidstrike is

Skeleton on chair beneath the pool

[patent steeple]

idk, I think voidstrike stacks MM more easily than EK would...

[vast yew]

Voidstrike is great... if you don't go to Havoc

[modest perch]

i wouldnt go that far

[vast yew]

okay "great" might be a bit hyperbolic but it's perfectly usable

still very fun to sling double-kamehameha's down a horde

[modest perch]

its potentially usable by a dedicated master up through maelstroms

[acoustic jacinth]

It depends on the player but you can push at least havoc 20-25 with questionable builds ans questionable weapons. Of course a better player wouldn't care at all but assuming that is st00pid

[acoustic jacinth]

1000%

[ripe obsidian]

M2 needs the crit damage fixed.

[acoustic jacinth]

True, first and foremost

[ripe obsidian]

Voidstrike is absolutely viable for Maelstrom. I use it in Auric a lot.

[vast yew]

That feels hyperbolic in the other direction; you can absolutely use it on Maelstroms, don't even need to be a "master" or anything

[modest perch]

you forget how shitty the average pub is

[vast yew]

Oh I just leveled my Scum to 30

[acoustic jacinth]

Like, i don't know the first thing about VS and yet the local auric mael was the same ol' with voidstrike. Nothing different, just staff psyker but with a more interesting staff i seldom use

[vast yew]

I'm well aware

It's why my Voidstrike build typically brings Smite, because it helps give a bit of CC to that build for when the 3 stooges on my team ignore a Crusher pack

[acoustic jacinth]

If you actually want to play with the staff itself, precog SG with DD just like you'd do on m1 ek is actually pretty solid

Otherwise peril stick shriek spam

[ripe obsidian]

I do Shriek + DD + FGS Voidstrike in Auric.

[acoustic jacinth]

Shriek dd is also fair yeah

I just like going 1 route if i do something

It's called being terminally stupid

[vast yew]

I used to enjoy running Bubble with Voidstrike but after the recent hp buffs to everything yeah you really need either SG or Shriek to help you out with damage

[acoustic jacinth]

I personally don't like supportive abilities in this game despite understanding their value. I legit just can't, me playing chorus zealot or bubble psyker is a good way to get narcoleptic and fall alseep on the keyboard

[vast yew]

Bubble at least doesn't animation-lock you when you use it

[acoustic jacinth]

True

[modest perch]

so trv

[vast yew]

Sometimes I feel like all Chorus does is let me admire the pack of Crushers up close for a few seconds before they introduce me to the pavement

[modest perch]

only defensive ult i dont hate using is shout

[acoustic jacinth]

Totally get that

But bath turned me into an exe stance mongrel tbh

The fov and piss on the screen is annoying sure but whatever

[modest perch]

meh

[vast yew]

There's a mod to fix the piss if you want

[modest perch]

just mod it out

[acoustic jacinth]

Fair, i'll look into it. Haven't touched modding much recently bc i know they still working away at it since new update broke a lot

[white willow]

@ripe obsidian what are your thoughts about essence harvet

[marble crater]

Bad

[vast yew]

split it into 10% instantly and 20% over time and it's a good talent

[ripe obsidian]

I am not a huge fan of it. It's a lot of toughness regen, but it feels redundant after Mettle, Souldrinker, Quietude, etc.

[white willow]

also why do you have numbers beside your nicknames

[ripe obsidian]

Friend code

[modest perch]

phone number

Why do you question the numbers beside the name but not that his name is a number?

It's the in-game friend code

You will never guess the names of his siblings

[acoustic jacinth]

Brother five... and sister seven????

[vast yew]

Btw anyone seen Pygex recently? I assume he's still working on updating the Atheneum

Been a few months since he posted here tho

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

[ripe obsidian]

He is not updating it afaik

Is why I made the bonanza

YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH

[vast yew]

oh

[ripe obsidian]

It is a shame, yes.

But such is the way of things

Also Pygex got a lot of shit from people about his builds being... questionable sometimes.

[marble crater]

I also wouldn't update the guide, if people gave me shit for my guide but didn't write their own

[ripe obsidian]

Can't blame him tbh

[vast yew]

Yeeeaaaahhhh

Is a shame though because like 90% of people will just read the guide and move on, a small fraction of people will talk about how useful it is, and then a much, much smaller fraction will be the shitheads, but thanks to how our brains are wired we're doomed to remember the negative feedback more

[strong gulch]

Inventory did the thing where it switches which weapon you're on. So I just empowered the wrong FGS. RIP low resistence. This isn't the first time, and it seems that it won't be the last time.

Time to cry I guess.

[marble crater]

I thought that was fixed

[strong gulch]

propbably mod related

or just the game

either way

is how the game has been

[marble crater]

[atomic flicker]

hello, siblings

[marble crater]

Hi

[wraith sphinx]

frip frop finally uploaded a youtube short featuring fem savant psyker

amazing

[atomic flicker]

why is the female savant french but the male is german

[wraith sphinx]

ur thinking of male loner

psure male savant is carribean

[atomic flicker]

o wait

that's a bigger difference then

actually, nevermind

french west indies exist

french caribbean vs. parisian french

[marble crater]

Female loner is Romanian, so the question remains

[wraith sphinx]

dracula!!!

[atomic flicker]

yea psyker is the only one that has different accents for either gender no?

other classes have the same accents for personalities

[wraith sphinx]

I think so yea

[ripe obsidian]

Male outlaw scum is pretty aggressively Scottish

[atomic flicker]

so is zealot (forgor which name)

[ripe obsidian]

Fanatic

[strong gulch]

Gambling for new FGS is going poorly. Rolled 63 just to get 1 WR dump. Just a regular WR dump; not a mega low one.

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/99-percent-of-gamblers-gif-434871090499708776

Don't stop

[wraith sphinx]

gambling is bad for you

[strong gulch]

angy

can do it on cleave, defences, and damage

Ooop. No mouse now. Can't gamble if I wanted too.

Alt + F4 to the rescue.

[marble crater]

[ripe obsidian]

I got one like that the other day. Would've been like 13% WR

[strong gulch]

Dom got it worse tho.

RIP

[strong gulch]

I know you've been trying for days.

[marble crater]

Should I also try?

[patent steeple]

I guess AgentChaos would say 13% WR is a very good thing...? (I don't see the appeal of having that low WR, 60% is enough for me)

[ripe obsidian]

It depends on the build and the goal

I use special attacks on force swords to build peril

So low WR means more peril

[strong gulch]

====================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

[tulip kettle]

I still have no idea what Potato means when typing these very long lines of = signs...

[ripe obsidian]

Is his push to talk button

[patent steeple]

and he just so happens to have discord type it in every time he holds it?

[ripe obsidian]

would be like 14-16% WR if it were WR

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah

[wraith sphinx]

Oh I legit thought it was a cat taking a seat on the key

[patent steeple]

ok, that gives me at least the question of how that happens... 🤔 (I have never seen anything like that happen on its own...)

[ripe obsidian]

Has cursor in Psyker chat when pushing to talk

Holding foot pedal makes it type =============

[wraith sphinx]

Ooh

Interesting. My discord mic is on toggle and I have it mapped to the dpi switch mouse button

[tulip kettle]

for discord i just open mic

suffer my monologuing

[patent steeple]

he has multiple monitors, I assume? that's the only explanation I can come up with on my own for how he has his cursor on psyker chat and still is tabbed in to the game...

[plucky flax]

Communication with a warp entity confirmed

[marble crater]

How low do we want to have warp res on FGS?

[plucky flax]

Below 30% is good

For 50% peril per cast

[strong gulch]

Using hands for push to talk means I can't use them for the game. It is too much cognitive load for me.

So I have a foot pedal for push to talk.

I don't do open mic because I scream a yell a lot.

I used to delete my PTT lines but that makes me anxious because I have to hold delete every time I wanted to type or something.

So I have made efforts to make peace with ======================= in the chat.

[strong gulch]

ye

[marble crater]

Time to roll for a weapon I will very rarely use

[plucky flax]

Use fgs more then it's best melee weapon in this game tbh

[marble crater]

Ez

[strong gulch]

[ripe obsidian]

I need to get back to 25m dockets, then gamble it all away

Only have like 18m right now

[marble crater]

That's what the emperor would want

[strong gulch]

===============================================

[spice aurora]

I was thinking that too, I think its the only weapon with basically no downside (on crit move speed spam if anyone says mobility)

[ripe obsidian]

In the last week I have had 3-4 swords that would have been 10-15% WR if it were in the correct stat

[ripe obsidian]

On crit mobility and mobility from DD

[spice aurora]

Literally ice skating

[strong gulch]

Even with crit gambling for movement speed boosts and DD I'd still say mobility, but it's still not super bad without them.

Chainaxe is sitting right there.

There's also using movement curves.

====================================================================

[marble crater]

Is that a movement curve?

[plucky flax]

Fgs mobility is better than relic

[spice aurora]

Someone else can explain it better but eviscerator slows you on every attack (like just light attacks basically seems to kill your speed) and then fgs doesn’t seem to have that slowdown, and its heavies actually have like the opposite lmao

[plucky flax]

Relic has more slow down when attacking?

[strong gulch]

Ye if you time heavies right, you can get a movement boost. Feck it up and pay the price tho.

Still. Mobility is the weakest thing about FGS.

[verbal thistle]

movement curves

VT2 has a chart for each weapon's movemsent curves

dt doesnt

[strong gulch]

And as stated, there's ways to mitigate that or other weapons have it worse. So saying FGS's weakness is mobility is saying something.

[spice aurora]

Oh makes sense

[verbal thistle]

each weapon attack has momentum to it

FGS has alot of attacks like that

[spice aurora]

Yea I felt it a lot xD

[verbal thistle]

some attacks slowm you

[spice aurora]

Them heavies are Nyoooooom

[plucky flax]

I bad i use anticipation for 5 dodges movement issue solved

[ripe obsidian]

Anticipation is a nice node

[strong gulch]

====================================

[orchid shadow]

Lol, I look annoyed but too afraid to start something in an enclosed space.

[ripe obsidian]

You are a bit squished

Bruh the new rot modifier is ass for melee

[ripe obsidian]

Did you see my video?

[plucky flax]

Nein

[ripe obsidian]

I did forget 2 wound curios, but it didn't matter

That's the difference

[quaint lark]

Did you tickle it?

Why is it not dead?

[ripe obsidian]

this is the same hit

versus an H40 burgle

[ripe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-nanomachines-son-gif-25954092

[quaint lark]

Damn I guess smite do be helping out with rotten armor now

So seems psyker attacks work on them fine still

[ripe obsidian]

Only Soulblaze.

Or shock DoT, I guess.

But that would take like 5 minutes to kill a single crusher

DoTs and explosions do full damage. Nothing else does.

[plucky flax]

Bruh moment

This shit is so ass it used to be fine you do no range damage but if pro melee you can get by

Now its a slog either way just bring a burga i guess

[mental mulch]

Apparently smite is only boring because people complaining about it are really good. Nobody got time to complain when they're getting their behinds handed to them even with enemies getting stunned

[plucky flax]

Smite is good and boring indeed.

[mental mulch]

We all got rekt so hard in auric maelstrom lol

[ripe obsidian]

If people are dying to smited enemies, both the smyker and the other players are doing something wrong.

[strong gulch]

I can see smite being a cathartic "no thank you" to rot armor.

I generally don't like it tho. Most people I see just hold the smite button down for anything.

When you get one in back to back games... it's not fun.

[plucky flax]

Red and rot seems like the most 'fun' combo this season now?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah.

Your options are:

• Fuck you for being melee, Red Version
• Fuck you for being melee, Rotten version
• Fuck you for being melee, Corruption Version
• Fuck you, bugged rituals version.

[mental mulch]

Well, I got smite and shield so you wont be seeing my smite killing things XD

[jovial juniper]

Wow
All those fuck melee means that we can use our ranged

Right?

RIGHT?

[plucky flax]

Nobody playing games in asia on christmas eve morning.

[mental mulch]

lol

[plucky flax]

Sitting in party finder for an hour now.

[mental mulch]

Maybe try another region then

[jovial juniper]

I wonder why

[plucky flax]

Can't with lag.

[verbal thistle]

try south africa

[plucky flax]

Tru

I speak afrikaan

FUCKIN PRAWNS

[mental mulch]

I can be in europe and play with my friends in america XD

[plucky flax]

I'm already lagging as is.

[weary crane]

The fact they haven't fixed any of the bugged rituals is pretty funny

[strong gulch]

Maybe some people are spending time with family instead of playing darktide. Maybe the servers will be more stable? (idk how many ppl are playing rn)

[weary crane]

The servers seem to get worse off-peak times

Idk why

[strong gulch]

I don't even mean just peak times. The boom of players from free weekend and new class dropping tapering off plus any shifts from holidays.

Idk if more or fewer people will play tbh.

[vagrant cedar]

[zinc phoenix]

Based and Santapilled

[zinc phoenix]

Presumably they start scaling down node group sizes which leads to pods sharing nodes with noisy neighbors

[frank prism]

how do you guys do it

playing psyker feels like im going crayz

[spice aurora]

Branx used to 1 hit maulers and crushers

Then they bumped the hp, 2 hit maulers and 2 hit crushers

Now its even worse 😤

[plucky flax]

Damn chinese tauntgryn is so good compared to eu

Bro is built different

[potent echo]

Does EU have inferno psyker infesting aurics

[loud garnet]

[brazen merlin]

How is empathic evasion?

[verbal thistle]

probably not worth it rn because of the ranged dodge linger

but works extremly well with certain weapons

[brazen merlin]

blaze greatsword?

[verbal thistle]

I can see it being helpful with atleast 1 crit blessing and gaze

but rn in current patch ranged enemies are jokes

[brazen merlin]

Alright, thanks.

Oh, is assail counted as ranged?

[zinc phoenix]

It allows you to evade empathy

This is crucial when using trauma

[verbal thistle]

yes

[ripe obsidian]

The Airbnb where I am staying has a cat

[potent echo]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cam-cat-camera-cat-wide-cat-wide-gif-16729570673879006163

[ripe obsidian]

I had some cat food in my car

And the kitty seemed to be quite hungry

There was no mention of kitties in the listing

But the cat seems to be too clean to be a stray

[strong gulch]

I would not want to leave my cat with strangers.
Also not disclosing that there's an animal is super sus.

[verbal thistle]

https://imgur.com/NwxzGr6

[strong gulch]

I hope something just happened (not a death or something that serious), and that's why the cat is there.

I am pro kitty, but wtf.

[ripe obsidian]

There is a possum.

I am not going to pet the possum.

[verbal thistle]

they are fine

[ripe obsidian]

The cat just wandered onto the porch and started meowing.

[verbal thistle]

we love possums

[ripe obsidian]

Possums are fantastic

[verbal thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/possum-gif-27032080

[ripe obsidian]

But I don't think it would appreciate my attention

[verbal thistle]

psst psst psst it

[strong gulch]

Oh it's just a porch? IDK why I thought that was a balcony or something. Nevermind then.

[ripe obsidian]

Is a porch, yeah. Second story porch, with a staircase up to it

[leaden thunder]

little friend

[ripe obsidian]

This cat is quite hungry

Cat has eaten and wandered off. I will need to refill my stock of car cat food.

[ripe obsidian]

Extremely strong. But as Ainz said, ranged enemies are getting bullied right now because Fatshark made a bad change then went on vacation

[ripe obsidian]

Elaborate.

[brazen merlin]

Mark VI or VIII for the blaze greatsword? I'm hesitant to do something that is less crowd clear.

[plucky flax]

Real

[mental mulch]

wat

[mental mulch]

both got quick cleaves which I think are good enough for crowds? But one got powerful single target heavies

[ripe obsidian]

VI is better in most cases. Easier access to single target damage (the stabbing heavy) and still strong horde clear. VIII has better horde clear, but the stab is hidden behind a push attack, so it's slower and less reliable.

[ripe obsidian]

I asked GPT to translate this and I got... something, certainly

[plucky flax]

Context is the taunt gryn was taunting holding shield special and the vet walked into the ogryn and ate an overhead.

Ogryn went with a ?

[mental mulch]

XD

[ripe obsidian]

The Ogryn's steam name is something about crossdressing?

[plucky flax]

Chinese steam name built different

[mental mulch]

XD

How much damage does an overhead do

[ripe obsidian]

In Havoc?

Ded

[mental mulch]

Outside of havoc probably too XD

[ripe obsidian]

You die. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I could find the exact number

416, it appears.

[mental mulch]

I think once I tried to block one without spec or perfect block and I got bonked for like, 50% stam and went down to like 20% health or smth
