I read through this chat, and only know like half the things being said. Haha

I try but my brain stares and then my brain stops processing. But some of them I’m getting the idea.

[ripe obsidian]

why so much meow kersplosion. D:

[ripe obsidian]

We actually make up most of what we say just to confuse you

[verbal thistle]

@ripe obsidian

[ripe obsidian]

Hi

[verbal thistle]

the guy who used the invis RB build was probably using this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82EpvAqXth0

its a goofy build only the extreme dorktide players would think of

[lusty compass]

Hmmm >.> suuure??

[ripe obsidian]

Exactly.

[thorn cedar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1h1d0ps/everything_i_know_about_smite_the_damage_sucks_or/

[ripe obsidian]

It is possible!

[verbal thistle]

a.a is east iirc

[sterile steppe]

So... for inferno, which do you guys like more for perks?

Flak + Unyeilding?
Or
Flak + Crit?

[modest perch]

i take unyielding cus i hate bulwarks

[sterile steppe]

..... good point!

[strong gulch]

The simpler choice is unyielding imo. I am assuming unyielding and uncanny on melee as well. That way you don't have to think about which weapon is buffing DoTs monsters and non cara oggys.

The more nuanced answer is do you want faster app and better EE fishing or more damage vs a particular enemy type. Note that crits apply 2 SB stacks instead of 1.

That answer may change depending on setup: like bubble vs shriek.

But either is good and as you play more you might develop a preference.

[modest perch]

i would pay for a dlc that takes rolling steel out of qp

[ornate hamlet]

Based take

[modest perch]

such a garbage map

bombers throwing shit over the train cars from behind locked doors

who tf designed this

just absolutely abysmal

[ripe obsidian]

I was playing the new map in VT2, the one with the boats, and it feels like a better version of rolling steel in basically every way

The boats actually feel somewhat dynamic

Whereas the train is just kinda pointless

[west spire]

hiding back in here, gen chat has turned to nonsense again.

[ripe obsidian]

Regale me with the nonsense!

Be my proxy to the dark ways of gen chat

[west spire]

I mean, not much different about gen chat. minor talk about the game, if any, but all talk about political trash and other nonsense. Like, i get it. Go off about what you want but i just want to read and talk about the game man...

Ima just go kill pox walkers and be trash at the game.

[modest perch]

nah the real trash meta is dying to poxwalkers

[ripe obsidian]

I try to keep realworld politics out of Dorktide.

Is just a path to madness

[west spire]

you can ask @deft stump how well that works for me with the basic psyker.

[sour oriole]

New to Psyker

[strong gulch]

This place is not really setup for political discussions. An escape is meant to be an escape.

[west spire]

She had to walk me though a good melee psyker build and still holds my hand through heresy.

[sour oriole]

With your buildup of psionic energy, is there any weapon taht lets you discharge that energy offensively

Or any way to use the buildup to to do damage

Like a weapon

[patent jacinth]

You mean like

Discharging accumulated peril?

Venting Shriek

[sour oriole]

Ye

[patent jacinth]

Thats it

[west spire]

exactly, i dont want politics right now... or at all, just wanna vibe and kill heretics.

[sour oriole]

Venting Shriek, okay

That's a Perk?

[patent jacinth]

Its the left side active ability

[strong gulch]

It's a talent.

Choose creeping flames.

[patent jacinth]

Also Gaze has 50% vent but I wouldn't call it a weapon

[sour oriole]

Gotcha, ty all

[ripe obsidian]

Velkom, sibling

[sour oriole]

Is that another active, or where is that?

[ripe obsidian]

Creepin' flames is a talent that branches off of venting shriek.

It makes you scream so loud that people catch on fire.

[west spire]

let them burn.

[strong gulch]

It's one of the ability mod nodes attched to venting shriek. If someone says shriek, it's assumed that creeping flames is chosen.

[sour oriole]

Gotcha, ty, just loaded into game, I will look for the fire scream 🫡

[strong gulch]

Note that there's a bunch of build in the build bonanza.

They assume that you are level 30.

Except for the first build that is meant for newer players. Choose talents as you go.

Assail is you friend while leveling.

[mighty shuttle]

I’m curious, this is extremely clumsy I assume

But has anyone had a soul blaze great sword build of some kind

[ripe obsidian]

Unlikely.

Blazing Spirit melee is quite bad

I do have some Shriek melee builds in the Bonanza, tho

And I am not sure if it's in there, but I have been playing with an FGS + EK + Shriek melee build

[fallow dawn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1272804331497979935/1454963231624925336/Warhammer_40-000-_Darktide_-_2025-12-28_23-23-53.mp4?ex=6952ff9a&is=6951ae1a&hm=558833eb1547711b24700d29ba141b449db7192d9c53e52682bf2b778d87235c&

[strong gulch]

@steel flame Has one. Blazing spirit sucks on melee, but if you want to do it for the lols do it. Zazy and I enjoy a no keystone fire sword. Mine is / was illisi tho.

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00aa358-26ff-4d52-91ba-559682ebd0e9/zazys-melee-only-blazing-spirit-greatsword?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

[mighty shuttle]

Thank you!

[dull scroll]

If you think about it and compare Blazing Spirit melee to scum tox on melee crit there is blantant fatshark bias
Why is it psykers' dot stack on melee crit can only stack to 12 while scums' can maintain a 30 max stack

[steel flame]

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

[marble crater]

Blazing melee and no keystone

I have seen enough

[strong gulch]

Zazy summon.

[steel flame]

Capstones are overrated

All that juicy stuff in the middle is where it's at baby

[steel flame]

I think it's in my build notes but you need at least 40 or below on warp resist. <25 is optimal but <40 gets you to critical peril in 2 activations from 0

[steel flame]

@strong gulch ew I must have written up the description while I was drunk. My proofreading brain nearly had an aneurysm reading it again

[strong gulch]

Your incredible mind.

[mental mulch]

I like disrupt destiny for melee lol

[steel flame]

It's great for melee, just not for THIS build

Fuck I ranted again

[marble crater]

Smh

[unreal bridge]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00ce228-e146-49e1-bcbc-046497f28b32/melee-scriers

Is this a good build?

[night marten]

I love it with the fgs

[ripe obsidian]

Not particularly, but neither is it terrible.

I have seen worse.

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0297051-3f07-4cd6-aec5-b998a279c771/glass-cannon-without-the-glass

This is Ainz's build

[unreal bridge]

Wouldn’t warp speed be better than warp unbound?

I’m new to psyker so feel free on correcting me 🫡

[thorn cedar]

ahhhh, this gives me the perfect opportunity to offer my favourite response

[verbal thistle]

depends on what you use it for

[thorn cedar]

clears throat

NO AINZ WHY

[unreal bridge]

[verbal thistle]

I stopped taking warp unbound for 25 stacks of DD

[unreal bridge]

ok ok I’m listening

[verbal thistle]

the builds I post are just 1 to 1 what I use in my videos

[verbal thistle]

warp unbound only really helps for mainting peril for peril buffs when gaze ends

i.e

if you want to use a full charge warp slice from FGS but are at max peril

[unreal bridge]

Ahh ok

[verbal thistle]

so want to use BB or assail

speed can be helpful but I dont often use it

since I use las pistol

and its already fast

[unreal bridge]

next question then

for the great sword I just light spam for hordes and then H2 for crushers?

H1 for meaty hordes

or is this wrong information

[verbal thistle]

which mark?

[unreal bridge]

I use 8 cause I heard its better

But if it’s not I’ll just swap

[verbal thistle]

I am unsure then

I only use mk6

it has an easier time getting to single target

[unreal bridge]

Hmm alright

Fair then I suppose

I hadn’t seen anyone use it yet

Oof I spent all of my coins on infantry autoguns just to hear everybody uses the laz pistol

[tulip kettle]

There's really no reason to use mk8 over mk6

[unreal bridge]

I see

Okay

[verbal thistle]

try all weapons

see what you like

it took me 1500 hours to find my fav melee

and I'm still using it 2500 hours later

[unreal bridge]

How do I use mk6 then sir

[tulip kettle]

Mk6 has higher single target dmg on H2

You chain heaviest for elites

[verbal thistle]

lights horde. light light heavy into poke for fast single target. Heavy spam for sustained single target

[tulip kettle]

And chain lights for unarmoured hordes

[unreal bridge]

All the guns look pretty zz besides recon Laz tbh

[verbal thistle]

if thats what you like go for it

I do recommend trying everything

[tulip kettle]

There is more nuanced combos but that will do it for ya

You can also push then light (not push attack) to get a horizontal sweeping attack instead of diagonal

[unreal bridge]

Okay bet

I’ll peep it out in the psykhanium

[tulip kettle]

Ultimately the real horde clear on FGS comes from the special. The special bar is filled by killing enemies, juicer enemies = more fill. So don't be afraid of throwing a couple heavies even when horde clearing to get that bar filled quickly to be able to throw the special and kill everything else

[unreal bridge]

Bet bet

thanks

And for bosses I just whip the gun out and go for heads yeah?

[verbal thistle]

Poke doesn't insane boss damage

[deft stump]

You just go boom without need for poxxers.

[tulip kettle]

Yes gun is great on bosses but so is chaining heavies on FGS. The H2 can hit 15k dmg on a boss

[unreal bridge]

What’s better for monstrosities?

[tulip kettle]

Depends how close you are

[verbal thistle]

Havoc 40 btw

[unreal bridge]

…You solo havoc 40?

[tulip kettle]

BONK

Ainz is cracked yes

[verbal thistle]

yeah

[unreal bridge]

wtf bro

There’s levels to this game man 😭

I’m out here struggling on H30 w my ogryn and this guy is soloing 40s

[tulip kettle]

also has amazing mspaint skills

Truly a multi talented individual

[deft stump]

Wait, Ainz draws in MSPaint?

[tulip kettle]

I don't think he uses crayons, could be wrong though

[verbal thistle]

yeah

I use paint for my thumbnails

[ripe obsidian]

Ainz is not a metric to compare oneself against

Ainz is too powerful

And when someone is that good at the game, they often make choices about their build that are considered off-meta because they better fit with their specific playstyle

[thorn cedar]

taxe gang taxe gang

[ripe obsidian]

Taxe is a good example, yes.

[deft stump]

Actually good.

[ripe obsidian]

Too powerful.

[deft stump]

I meant the little drawings unless those aren't?

[verbal thistle]

I use PNGs and my drawings

i mean to be fair it IS your build

but i did get things lining up properly

:D

do game? im helping a new player get heresy access in team 6 if you wanna, otherwise i can bail

[deft stump]

Team 6 is the best team.

Fake H40 where's the 50bajillion ragers and 3 bulwarks

[hearty wolf]

You went real quiet since Ainz stole your thunder 😭

[thorn cedar]

yea i just wanted a chill night between work shifts but alas, my new upstairs neighbour is a problem of the legal variety and now ive been making phone calls between cops, my landlord, two lawyers, some friends, and a hotel

[verbal thistle]

can I join too

the more the merrier

I'll bring cookies

[thorn cedar]

i just wanna vomit, or eat, not sure

my body's a bit cooked right now

[hearty wolf]

Is there any progress?

[thorn cedar]

with them? no. with an exit strategy for myself? yes

[hearty wolf]

Cringe landlord

[thorn cedar]

nah thats the law

more like cringe cops

[hearty wolf]

This is US bs I take it?

[thorn cedar]

canada

[hearty wolf]

Ah I see

[thorn cedar]

if this was america he would already be a stain at the foot of the driveway

[hearty wolf]

😭

[thorn cedar]

in minecraft, or whatever

we're expediting the eviction process, we already have three case numbers on him from some other neighbours as well

[hearty wolf]

I hope the exit strategy works out. I really hate that for you. I've been in a similar situation.

[thorn cedar]

if it were realy up to me id just flip off all the breakers to his unit since they're here in my unit and then leave for a week

but ive got a fairly incompetent and useless roommate to consider, and more importantly my cat

honestly the landlord is doing all he can rn

we'll be meeting tomorrow

[hearty wolf]

Something something malicious nuisance not always the best idea but yea

Poor cat

I've been travelling for like

20 hours now and I still have like another 7 in front of me

I would quite like to sleep

But perhaps I come back to play Darktide when I land

Probably going to drop fun weapons for a bit too and figure meself out some solo havoc 40s

[steel flame]

Welp I'll be in team 10 for anyone who wants to have an aneurysm over my capstoneless builds

[zinc zephyr]

Soo... CliffHanger penance... worst Penance in the game>?

[white sky]

You can use the back end force push on smite to throw things off ledges

[steel flame]

More like worst coded penance

You only need to kill things that are falling when they die, includes but is not limited to, enemies being pushed off cliffs, being meleed to death while falling, being killed while falling over boxes, etc

[dense flume]

different brittleness sources can stack sometimes right? Does penetrating flames (inferno) brittleness stack with rending shockwave (trauma)?

[zealous wing]

you'd be better served stacking uncanny with it, other than that idk

penetrating flames on inferno is a bit unnecessary

[hearty wolf]

This stacks yes but it depends on the source.

My math ain't mathing. I was under the impression brittle is up to 40% and PF added up to 55 (which would only be 15%, thought it was a bit more)

It's funny for dots though

The 40% brittles don't stack with the other 40% brittles. It's only the weird exceptions. Iirc exec shotgun is another one

[quasi cargo]

Made him happy asf

[buoyant maple]

Rending shockwave is regular brittleness, up to 16 stacks, each stack 2.5% (max 40%)

Penetrating flames is fire brittleness, up to 20 stacks, each stack 1% (max 20%)

They can stack additively up to 60% but do keep in mind the 1/4 damage conversion after reaching 100% ADM

[noble pebble]

OH SHIT

[quasi cargo]

NO DONT HES GOING TO EXPLODE

SAVE HIM

[noble pebble]

Oh he just needed a kiss

[quasi cargo]

Romance is blooming

[steel flame]

The dark gods have smote my power with their dark winds, no more dt for me

[dense flume]

Yup this is what we saw just now, 60% brittleness between the two. It seemed to work well, but will have to compare it to without penetrating flames to really tell*. As much as uncanny can be great, I find having to keep the melee out loses out on other buffs, and sometimes you just need to pull the staff out again anyways. Just felt like trying some stuff heh

20% probably isn't worth it tbh

[ripe obsidian]

I fink the Arby shotgun special is also a unique stack.

[buoyant maple]

yes, shotgun brittleness, 1 stack only, 25%

stacks onto these as well

there used to be another type (crit brittleness) for veteran's exploit weakness but that talent has been reworked to not be brittleness

[ripe obsidian]

Huzzah, I know things.

[thorn cedar]

prove it. name four things

[marsh current]

probably not a good place for this but im looking for help for the cliffhanger penance/achievement. Maybe tomorrow someone could help me?

[zealous wing]

I can do 1 more if you're still around.

Or I just get up and get coffee.

[plucky flax]

Aye

[deft stump]

Eepy Chaos H40. See what I mean when UnsanctionedPsyker is back? The hard carry is back!

[plucky flax]

Playing with low ping and pc is so nice

Laptop + lag + 1 channel Bluetooth speaker

[deft stump]

That speaker... 1 channel... how?

Do they even make those... Wish/Temu, right.

[plucky flax]

Its jbl

Small hand for comparison

[deft stump]

Yeah, but i expect better quality from them.

[plucky flax]

The quality is good but its only 1 channel

I mean you can't make it 2 channel if its just 1 speaker

[deft stump]

Not a one channel thing.

You technically could. One on each end like old timey radios.

[plucky flax]

Yeah

[deft stump]

Or actually, boomboxes.

[plucky flax]

But i only have 1 speaker

[deft stump]

Do kids these days even know what a boombox is?

[potent echo]

That's the scum blitz isn't it

[deft stump]

Oh well. Feels weird for them to only sell one.

[potent echo]

[deft stump]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[plucky flax]

Some do but most just 1 single speaker. Its miles better than phone or laptop speaker

And convenient enough for me to bring in my backpack cos I travel a lot

[deft stump]

True. And then spicy net.

[plucky flax]

Spicy net?

[deft stump]

You travelling.

[twilit badger]

Rotten armor is brutal

On H40

Soooo many maulers and crushers

Even more than the usual H40 huh

[deft stump]

Is like the devs didn't playtest it.

[zealous wing]

rotten armour is easier now

[twilit badger]

They probably did but only on up to Auric

I bet they didn't even test it on H40

[potent echo]

Or like how daemonhost modifier sometimes gives you impossible ones

I don't think they even playtest on auric

[deft stump]

Oh, the borked ones.

[plucky flax]

No it's harder? Cos reduce melee damage too

[zealous wing]

well yeah but overall, they take more damage as they get lower health

[summer prairie]

overall they've way more ehp

only a buff for specific ranged builds like surge surge

[cedar delta]

[hollow summit]

How do I stop hitting barrels with fgs

[ripe obsidian]

148% EHP

[summer prairie]

if you hit the thresholds perfectly

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

[potent echo]

Can you even oneshot rotten crushers with Thammer

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

Not easily

Need to do like 44k damage

[verbal thistle]

Headtaker, distain, SS. Marty, invis

Duelist too probably

[ripe obsidian]

Headtaker makes it enough

Still, a crusher taking more effort than a boss

Is sumfin

[verbal thistle]

I love it

[ripe obsidian]

Oh?

[verbal thistle]

Makes it feel like modded vt

[zealous wing]

its a challenge to deal with too, no?

[ripe obsidian]

Lunatic

[verbal thistle]

Enemies actually being dangerous

And needing forethought

Pre mission thinking

Do I stagger, can I single target, can I kite?

[ripe obsidian]

You are a tic of luna

[verbal thistle]

Funny enough

Apparently only combine and I have said they liked rot armor

[summer prairie]

it's the best modifier but the dr is a bit excessive now

[verbal thistle]

I just did a rot armor H40 this morning

Took 2 hours

I loved it

[ripe obsidian]

It is not a modifier I enjoy with randoms

[verbal thistle]

My best mission in the past like 2 weeks

[ripe obsidian]

Just frustrating

[verbal thistle]

I played with a psyker that hasn't played since beta

Like 1st game on they load into my h40 with purple weapons

[ripe obsidian]

I am not good enough to solo kite/carry in H40 rot. And it often ends up with me alone trying to figure out what to do

Is not fun for me

[verbal thistle]

Which is fine

Uuhh

Wording

Yeah people wont like this modifier

It's modded difficulty in a game without a modded realm

Most people won't enjoy

[ripe obsidian]

It's fine if I have a reliable team

[verbal thistle]

I feel like fatshark lost their goal with havoc

[ripe obsidian]

But I mostly play with randoms

[summer prairie]

it's not even that, you can just bypass the dr with a lot of builds, it's just limiting

[verbal thistle]

An end game game mode that is accessible?

The best part of rot is not taking a scum or psyker

[ripe obsidian]

Derank makes people feel forced to play H40

Unlike VT2 modded

[verbal thistle]

It just feels like fatshark is scrambling

Havoc is a jumble of a mess

Deranks, random swaps of maps and modifiers

The bottom 30 ranks even existing is weird

[ripe obsidian]

I like havoc difficulty. I dislike everything else about the system.

Fatshark seems to have no management with an idea of how to steer the game

Their production cycle is painfully slow and disjointed

[verbal thistle]

This all could be out of the developers hands

That's not off the table

[ripe obsidian]

Hence management issues

[verbal thistle]

But if it's not, it's kinda disappointing

[ripe obsidian]

FS's developers seem to be passionate and skilled.

But without management, you have dozens of passionate and skilled people running in different directions

[verbal thistle]

Their creativity with their engine utilizing it for a tide game is so unique

Just breaking down the slot system is insane

[ripe obsidian]

It's sad to see a game with such depth and potential so mismanaged

In 3 years they've added what, five maps?

[verbal thistle]

Took VT 6 years to become what it is now

DT is 3 years in?

[ripe obsidian]

I think so.

[verbal thistle]

Half way boys

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, November 2022

[verbal thistle]

Then we might have a game that can compete with how VT works

Funny how nearly every system in dt is better in vt

[ripe obsidian]

I genuinely believe all of FS's competent folks refuse to work on DT

Which is why VT2 gets more content even now

[verbal thistle]

Sounds about right

I mean

Even the combat director left at patch 13 iirc

The guy who made the tide combat

[ripe obsidian]

Oof

I did not know that

[verbal thistle]

I very well could be wrong

But it's a pattern with dt

Patch 13 was the turning point for most things we see in current dt

Talents, crafting, enemy density

[ripe obsidian]

Is that when crafting became viable?

And enemy density dropped hard?

[verbal thistle]

Patch 13 was talent tree change, made it non VT style

Then after that it was crafting update

Then auric

Something like that order

[ripe obsidian]

I do like the talent trees in theory. But I also think it has broken whoever is in charge of balance

Overcomplicated things

[verbal thistle]

Variety is nice, but over complications messes with features and difficulties

I made a comparison

To VT to dt

How many talents would just be "bloat"

I.e

All toughness gen would count as 1 talent as per VT only having 1 row for temp

[ripe obsidian]

Build choices are interesting in theory. Different playstyles, different approaches. But it means there's 1000x more work to be done to make sure it all works and nothing is useless or OP.

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

[ripe obsidian]

I wonder how big something like Path of Exile's balance team is

But they also probably have a bigger playerbase, more playtesting and telemetry

[verbal thistle]

They also balance in a different way

They release new league

Let people figure stuff out

Look at the top performing things

Then change them

Spark mage in league 1 for Poe 2 was game breaking

Now it's okay

[ripe obsidian]

I have never played PoE, so I know nuffin'

[verbal thistle]

I have a few hundred hours

Barely touched the surface

[weary idol]

I have about a thousand hours in it

I have also barely touched the surface

It be like that

[summer prairie]

vt talent balance is trash

[verbal thistle]

Tide game balance was never a notable thing...

Looks at every dlc class for vt2

And DT

[plucky flax]

Too big.

Imagine coming up with a build by yourself in poe2

[verbal thistle]

Actually pretty easy

[ripe obsidian]

Surely WP Saltz healing the whole team on kill is balanced.

[verbal thistle]

Just probably won't get you to mid to late mapping

[plucky flax]

Like last season with a lich crossbow build. It didnt come out until half way through season

I haven't played poe2 this season cos was travelling. Probably gonna skip

[ripe obsidian]

But will you hop and jump?

[potent echo]

I think talent trees are fun 🥹

Being able to pick which toughness Regen you want, or all of them

[radiant frigate]

in The Before Times we also only had one toughness option

[radiant frigate]

not as big a deal as one might think

like waystalker/grail regen

it just recolors thp for the most part

and now that every class has good thp i think it does not matter much

[potent echo]

Bounty hunter THP

[patent jacinth]

From Fury, Fortitude also isn't very fast

Its like 1 full bar over the course of a run

[verbal thistle]

With the temp change from versus

He's fine now

[patent jacinth]

Yeah they gave him carve or smth

So he's chilling

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

[patent jacinth]

Yeah execute sting and carve

[verbal thistle]

HM getting stagger temp

Lol

[patent jacinth]

Finally ridding us of that gods awful healing kit talent every single career had but nobody used

[verbal thistle]

Only SotT could really use it

[potent echo]

What did they change

[patent jacinth]

And thats if your team didn't suck

[potent echo]

Haven't touched vt2 since dt came out 🧓

[patent jacinth]

Standardized all thp to 5 talents

[potent echo]

Mmmm

[verbal thistle]

Changed stagger temp to have a hit limit

So no 100% hp from 1 H1

Kill temp got updated

No

Crit did

[patent jacinth]

Carve (cleave)
Execute (enemy hp)
Sting (headshots/crits)
Second wind (stagger)

[verbal thistle]

It's crit hits and weakspot give temp

[patent jacinth]

Oh its 4 nvm

[verbal thistle]

And they changed horde HP too iirc so kill temp is better into skaven

[radiant frigate]

bounty hunter also got some more melee synergy

can now play gs and not feel so silly

[patent jacinth]

I will always feel silly with GS its just swing wide or swing wider

[radiant frigate]

wonder if zealot got stagger thp because god that would be so fucking funny

[radiant frigate]

it got really killy the last time it got updated, just sucks into armor
which doesn't matter on a class with gorillion damage autocrits on ranged with infinite ammo

plus it's just illisi but less mobile

[patent jacinth]

If I'm play bh I'm playing griffonfoots

Need that weapon spec coke

[radiant frigate]

oh god

griffonfoot bh is such a war crime

it doesn't even have funny meme value like assault rifle zealot

[patent jacinth]

Yeah I play it when I want to fucking dunk on shit for fun

Same appeal as the once in a month trauma psyker run

[potent echo]

Didn't BH had discount weapon spec

That was some fun time with BH foot (legend)

[radiant frigate]

one gorillion trash damage

like bringing a flamer but instant

[patent jacinth]

It also ashes unarmored elites

[potent echo]

And then you get shield stormvermin

Solution, type help with 10 "a"

[patent jacinth]

Or push twice

Or just melee all over them with one of your busted ass single target picks

[weary crane]

uhhhh... hello big guy...?

[lusty compass]

I adore ogryns. I am trying to find one in the wild that will be my pet xD I was told there is a personality type that likes psykers. Im determined to find one.

[hollow summit]

All of them like psykers

Relatively, when compared to the rest of the characters

[lusty compass]

What! Well now it’s just a goal to make one like me!! I keep crouching and walking up to them slowly

Unsuccessful so far tho.

I keep becoming more convinced I’m being told things to see how gullible I am. Dom has told me to read the breach charge cause it said something and dumbly enough…it is not English is all I know. Also the edge is kind of close xD

[hollow summit]

are you an ogryn

[lusty compass]

No! Im a Psyker. lol

[buoyant maple]

DT is so much better than VT2 in this regard tho
anything is better than crit chance + block cost + swift slaying lol

[marble crater]

Sounds like something Dom the troll would do

[lusty compass]

Yeaaa he is a menace.

[zealous wing]

lil bit

but, one way or another, you WILL learn the basics

[lusty compass]

Lmao! Between the two of you I’m like 100% sure I know all the barrels now.

[zealous wing]

we shall see

[lusty compass]

<.< villain arc

[wraith sphinx]

oh hey I just played with that guy

[weary crane]

a sight to behold

He was born in the darkness...

God bane is so annoying

[mighty shuttle]

Is there the most common/popular form of las pistol blade for melee psyker build? Leveling las pistol up for mastery

And curious what blessings I should keep eye out for or refinements and if one mark is better over other

[north spoke]

guys rate my new build
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0187bf9-f729-40be-afec-832b87a46eaa/the-most-dogshit-build-possible-v1

[nocturne wasp]

Not playing HVV or Ewok hunt.
Why bother?

[white sky]

HvV my goat

[nocturne wasp]

When I got BF2, I told myself, I'll just quickly level every heroe and villain so I can use them in the regular mode.
Today I have them all card maxed, and have about 3 hours total in the regular modes

[white sky]

I like big battles sometimes, they're still fun

But they're wildly long normally

HvV is fast and there's a lot of skill expression in it most of the time time

[nocturne wasp]

Ewol hunt is by far my favorite mode.
They should have added more maps

[zinc timber]

Hi, where can I ask for help with completing the penance Malleus Monstronum that requires a private game?

[deft stump]

EU, I can get on. I can't do NA atm, straight DCs. APAC regions, HK also okay.

[zinc timber]

Thank you, Shall we wait for others or duo is fine? i'm lvl 25 right now

[deft stump]

Just make a KR double wall build or whatever. I'll get on. Worst case is we just try again.

[deft stump]

Pick a strike team.

[zinc timber]

How do you do that, Sorry quite new here

[deft stump]

Vox channels.

[deft stump]

Just join team 8.

[cinder hemlock]

does anyone have the electro staff ball psyker build

[wispy bay]

Check pin

It is one of the popular build

[zinc timber]

@deft stump Thank You !

[timid grove]

so is psyker being easier to play because of the class rework in september?

i wasnt playing during that time

[spice oar]

I mean I'd say so

[timid grove]

ive seen people lately talk about how psyker is "super tanky" now or something

that was NOT my experience when playing psyker back in the summer

[spice oar]

yeah our survivability is much better

[timid grove]

interesting

[spice oar]

and melee psyker is very viable

[timid grove]

really?

damn

back when i was going for penances i would go DOWN in like 3 fodder hits on heresy, i swear

[spice oar]

honestly id say all forms of weapons and what not are viable in auric maelstrom and havoc 1-20

[timid grove]

i was so soured from the class after getting the penances done

[spice oar]

i cant get past havoc 21 so lol

[timid grove]

havoc can blow me

i got the armor so im never touching it again unless my friends need help

[spice oar]

well there are loads more interesting way to play the class now, you can even play a suicide bomber

[timid grove]

dang yo

thanks

... so it wasnt just me then, right?

psyker used to be really squishy in the past?

i am a veteran of tide games but i never thought myself to be super good, but i went down on psyker more than any other class (again, prior to september update)

[spice oar]

oh absolutely

[shell ivy]

isn't he still squishy?

[spice oar]

we were a glass cannon, thoi some disagree on the cannon part

[spice oar]

hes still the squishiest just not to the ridiculous extreme that it used to be

[shell ivy]

ah gotchu

[spice oar]

some tidetubers even say hes the strongest class rn

[shell ivy]

today i have only seen 1 other psyker in all my auric games

[spice oar]

tho id still say arb and vet are more powerful in terms of carrying power

[timid grove]

that's vindicating to hear

i remember even getting into arguments / getting called shit for some of my rambling about psykers squishiness before

[shell ivy]

do you guys have the mallous monstronum penance?

[spice oar]

nah lol

[shell ivy]

it's literally the only penance left for me atm.

[spice oar]

most played class and I just cba getting it cause i don't like the cosmetics and i finished the penance pass

[shell ivy]

i have not reached the end yet. but i'm a little bit a completionist

also i will probably never get the no down penances

[night marten]

I was in a group with two other melee psykers yesterday, it was great

[shell ivy]

those are the dream games

[spice oar]

at 69/100 I am

never getting it

been playing since the beta too 😭

[deft stump]

Heh. NP. Just went ahead into an auric game basically. 4 more to finish that off.

[deft stump]

If you need it, I can swap over. Only EU, Any APAC or HK though.

[deft stump]

Naw, ganger is equally squishy.

[ornate abyss]

What's the ideal way to learn psyker

I see myself as a zealot/arby main but I want to main psyker too

[weary crane]

Anyone got a 430 toughness before?

I've got 3 420s

[ornate abyss]

I think I have 1 430

[shell ivy]

i am at 4600

we talking about the penance pass right 😛

[spice oar]

Ah yeah i forgot

Ganger is the real squishiest class given they are wearing literally nothing

[shell ivy]

i don't own that DLC yet. monies be tight and have to prioritize

ganger seems like a fun class

[quartz barn]

imagine only being at 4600 smh

gotta up that to 7200

[light solstice]

Hey there, do we have an updated voidblast build somewhere? I havent played psyker since the talent tree rework

[verbal thistle]

In pins

[ripe obsidian]

My child, I have made builds for thee. They are in the pins.

[ripe obsidian]

I have a few.

[light solstice]

Thanks guys

[thorn cedar]

Well. Had to pack up my shit and leave.

[verbal thistle]

You had to move because of your neighbor?

[thorn cedar]

My poor cat isn't acclimating to the new space too well so far lmao

Yea I said fuck that. Staying at a friendd

I've seen this before. It only ends with a body.

If we're lucky he'll only kill himself

[verbal thistle]

Good luck and stay safe. Hopefully they can get the help they need

[weary crane]

I hate a fucking broken hounds still are

And how they give 1/4 health of corruption from touching you for 0.0000001 seconds

Silent unpushable boomers say hi.

[burnt hull]

quetsion for meleekers: how the hell are you supposed to handle trappers/hounds/bursters when your screen and sound is constantly spammed and cluttered by peril effect ?

[summer prairie]

Disable the effects

It's a base game setting now even, I think

[burnt hull]

really ? I can disable perfil sound effect ? wow

thanks I'll try that

yes there is the setting in "accessibility". That feel really better

when turned down to 0

[zealous wing]

ive got it around 20 myself but yeah its a lovely setting

[zealous wing]

mission board mael currently

[west spire]

Good for weeklies

[ripe obsidian]

Reject staff, embrace battle psyker. Go toe-to-toe.

[west spire]

Agreed melee psyker is best. Cause its all i can play on that class

[ocean cipher]

inferno staff wants min warp res right

[granite stratus]

Yes

[modest perch]

[ocean cipher]

sick thats what I have

[dapper river]

What is a good smite psyker build?

[modest perch]

as low as youre comfortable using

[granite stratus]

Build up peril faster, quell peril faster

[modest perch]

i have a 1% warp res n it feels rly juicy

[patent jacinth]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1272804331497979935/1450700850132418651/Kill_All_Smykers.gif

[west spire]

Visual definition of "fuck you and your smite"

[ocean cipher]

what curios does psyker want

[modest perch]

you VVILL use assail and you VVILL be happy

[ocean cipher]

what about brainburst

[languid fable]

Step 1) Make any build you like and choose smite
Step 2) Delete your psyker

[granite stratus]

I use brainburst instead

[dapper river]

Well I am aware smite is not liked, just wanted to try it out

[west spire]

https://tenor.com/view/pacha-perfection-perfect-emperor's-new-groove-peak-gif-3134211215846993256

Brainburst on melee psyker.

[ocean cipher]

what curios do psyker want?

[quaint lark]

https://tenor.com/view/nyoom-neil-tyson-degrasse-speech-gif-14708516663242203281

[modest perch]

i dont use it

i just have it for kf

[ocean cipher]

exactly

like im not actively brainbursting im using it for purgatus

[modest perch]

jk i use it fairly frequently cus pubs are idiots that ignore snipers

[ocean cipher]

also what makes dueling sword so good?

[modest perch]

i just hate using it cus its slow

[languid fable]

I think you can get away with using any build with smite as an emergency button. If you want to use smite as your main weapons I don’t think it’s very good, and I don’t think sciers gaze with EP smite works anymore.

[verbal thistle]

Easy moveset, high unyield/cara damage, and extreme mobility

[modest perch]

mobility and effectiveness against armor

it also looks pretty cool

[ocean cipher]

the Psyker Guide reccomends Dueling or Deimos with purgatus staff, and whenever I see someone using it they like 1 shot crushers and shit

but I can never get it to work

[verbal thistle]

precog/uncanny/thrust/riposte

[modest perch]

u need uncanny/precog

although idk if a true crusher one shot is possible on psyker these days

[dapper river]

So in essence smite is the worst out of the three and primarily as emergency?

[ocean cipher]

what perks does dueling want

flak / cara?

[modest perch]

cara unyielding

[steel flame]

It's extremely powerful in actuality but it's used wrong that most so it's got a stigma about it.

[ocean cipher]

mk4 is best right

[dapper river]

Hmm that makes sense,

[modest perch]

yeaj

[kindred edge]

It's a taser shotgun but people just hold the damn button down

Doesn't do shit

[steel flame]

The strongest urge is to smite all match, which is an actual viable build, toss in fire shout and it becomes very unfair for the enemy but it can kinda ruin the fun for everyone else

But used wrong and you either don't end up doing anything, get shot to death or miss read what you have stunned and eat dirt

[modest perch]

anyone else remember a while back when ep got a huge buff and for a few weeks every match had at least 1 permasmyker

[ocean cipher]

EP?

[steel flame]

You can only have so many targets stunned at once and smite is very visually polluting so stuff can slip through

[humble thicket]

Which stat would you dump on Inferno staff?

[zealous wing]

auric now be like

[ocean cipher]

warp res

[humble thicket]

Thanks

[modest perch]

yea i have noticed a resurgence of them in the past couple weeks. wonder what thats about

[dapper river]

Then what about EP? I dont see that used very often and when it is used, only on smite.
Are there any viable builds for Brainburt or Assail with it?

[jovial juniper]

BB sure

Assail yeah it exists but uh

Not worth

[dapper river]

Hmm I see, thanks guys

[jovial juniper]

Double Wall EP Kinetic Resonance Brain Burst my beloved

"Hands Gameplay"

[verbal thistle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWvFtyNtlNc

[ripe obsidian]

Smite very stronk. Smite also very boring. Most Smykers hold RMB and turn off the game, which sucks.

[dapper river]

Fair enough, explains the opinions on it

[spice oar]

guys im trying to make a kamikaze build

this is what ive got so far

nvm darktide crashed

[jovial juniper]

💀

It kamikazed itself

That's crazy

[spice oar]

when your build so bad the game dont even let you open it

[ocean cipher]

what curios do I want for psyker

[modest perch]

toughness

[spice oar]

3x toughness

stamina is useless cause we have peril to manage blocking instead if you are going for a up-close build, Health doesent mean much to somebody already frail, and wounds is wounds

[tulip kettle]

1 hp 2 tough with at least 1 corruption resist minor

Let's you not be instantly deleted by bursters and crushers

[spice oar]

Unfortunately Kamikaze is weird with how it scales and no one even knows if it properly gets buffed by warp damage bonuses

so idk how to buff it. I thought about removing Warp Ghost however as it feels sluggish

[dapper river]

Damn what is the playstyle of it?

[spice oar]

I voidblast, I get to high peril, and then if I see a crusher or group of gunners/elites. I blow up

[tulip kettle]

It's nonsense build that won't work

[spice oar]

yes which is why im adamant on making it work

[tulip kettle]

Peril explosion dmg doesn't scale

[spice oar]

for some dumbahh reason

[weary crane]

It has no synergy with anything so you can literally play it with any build

[spice oar]

I have a full electric psyker build with EP smite, shock maul and EK staff. Pretty fun and surviviable

[weary crane]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-shocked-shocking-gif-14682087

[spice oar]

I am pretty sure Enfeeble works on shock maul hits, and if you grab charged strike for the cosmetic touch it does buff your melee well

plus it feels cool

[dapper river]

Nice, can i see it somewhere? might wanna try it myself

[spice oar]

yeah ill make it in Games Lantern hol on

really good website for builds btw, just avoid the cheesy ones with Ai art with four fingered hands

[zealous wing]

i would not say its a reliable source of functional builds

[dapper river]

I did try to search for builds online, that is the website that came up the most

[dapper river]

Any alternatives you recommend?

[spice oar]

I beg to differ

[zealous wing]

thats the website we do use, but since anyone can post builds i would not trust any random build on there

[spice oar]

its deffo helpful for a new player

[zealous wing]

we have a guide in the pins

otherwise, others here are a far better source usually

[strong gulch]

Games lantern has a lot of terrible builds, but it's agreat tool to share your build or show something specific.

Not great at finding good builds.

[spice oar]

(thats why there are the most popular ones that are good)

[zealous wing]

the gandalf one for example, is not good

[spice oar]

damm why is it the most rated one then?

[zealous wing]

because its funny

[spice oar]

i concede

[strong gulch]

The popular ones are usually not good.

[modest perch]

does he still take blazing spirit on the sword ?

[radiant frigate]

imagine copying builds from others instead of doing your own unhinged buildcraft

[modest perch]

so trv

[dapper river]

Eh, math is sometimes hard, just ask the ogryn

[spice oar]

Ive done it so much I tend to now check for inspiration from other folk

mostly for ogryn builds cause I dont play em much

[modest perch]

i have one sorta unhinged homebrew up there called bogerynheimer. its funny. ran it in havoc a handful of times back in the day

[radiant frigate]

my old unhinged homebrew is not a good build anymore (sort of)

I'm sure i could do a new take of it

(it would certainly be improved by fgs)

[spice oar]

whats that one about?

[modest perch]

lucky bullet rumbler spam without sacrificing melee survivability

weird hybrid build cus fuck that stupid suppression aura and not taking bleeds

https://tenor.com/view/i-would-like-to-see-it-gif-27124621

[lusty compass]

truuuly

[spice oar]

well thats just a bit rude

[tulip kettle]

ooo im on blast boys

[spice oar]

Im not gonna argue I just thought it was rude

[zealous wing]

i do agree, if you are inexperienced you shouldnt be giving build advice

[tulip kettle]

i am a notorious asshole

i thought it was more polite to dm you and ask you politely to stop

[zealous wing]

oh so this is DMs even, being shared publicly without consent?

[tulip kettle]

instead of saying "trash takes also L also you suck also git gud scrub + skissue + smyker"

[zealous wing]

i love that they obviously expect us to hate you i guess

[tulip kettle]

im a very hateable person

[zealous wing]

nah

[gloomy brook]

Can Smite crit?

[tulip kettle]

no.

[zealous wing]

no

[gloomy brook]

ty

What about rending from Pen of the Soul?

[spice oar]

I am not inexperienced just because I dont play high havocs, so what i should just not engage in buildcraft at all?

[zealous wing]

you definitely shouldnt say that all builds on gameslantern are viable

or, imply it

[spice oar]

thats not what i said

i said its a good place to look for good/interesting builds, not that every one was viable

[zealous wing]

usually when people ask for a viable build, they mean good for auric, or h40

[spice oar]

especially if the person is new, thats a good place to start

[tulip kettle]

no, it isnt

[tulip kettle]

yes it works

[spice oar]

the person was new

[tulip kettle]

but its not good

and recommending new players terrible builds

is not good

[zealous wing]

the thing is the new person wont know which builds are shit, which means they might pick something that looks good, but makes them struggle, then they quit psyker because its "weak". what then

[spice oar]

Yeah I didnt realise that the popular builds arent actually good, so thats one mistake and all of a sudden i get dm'd to not give out advice?

[strong gulch]

Games lantern is not the place to start if you're inexperienced.

It is accessible tho.

Unfortunately many of the top builds are either bad or the inexperienced person doesn't understand the context in which the build was made.

[spice oar]

thats why I also gave him a build from myself thats good for aurics

[lusty compass]

[tulip kettle]

you started posting like 24 hours ago and everything you said has been nonsense and self admission that you dont know much and arent very experienced, i was politely asking you to read a bit more and defer to our resident build collator, six, and the very experienced and talented players we have in the chat. Can we also STOP with this nonsense drama now

i dmd you for a reason

[spice oar]

no? 😭

[tulip kettle]

you have an issue with me, take it to DM

[spice oar]

ive been on this discord for like months

I just play the game on and off

[strong gulch]

But inexperienced to inexperienced player exchanges on what's been working for them because they can't do what the people who have been playing for awhile are able to do has value imo.

[gloomy brook]

Thank you~

[tulip kettle]

issue is that smite has such poor dmg vs carapace that PoTS is still bad

[restive slate]

Is it just me or did I just discover for myself how stronk Scrier Revolver is??

[tulip kettle]

well, you made it for yourself, so yes its just you? i dont think "scriers is good, actually" is a particularly esoteric piece of knowledge

[ripe obsidian]

Depression

[strong gulch]

Revolver is less popular but it does well with SG. The fan one.

I know Matt plays the crap out of that.

[steel flame]

TFW you get killed because you thought you reloaded the damn revolver but random bullshit canceled it for no reason

[gloomy brook]

Ah damn 🙁

[steel flame]

That one makes me cry fr fr

[restive slate]

My childlike enthusiasm hast been crushed once more

[strong gulch]

It's not super popluar for a reason, BUT if you like it a do well with it go forth and do it.

[restive slate]

What's the reason?

[strong gulch]

Constant reload, not as easy with more pressure, doesn't have the output for EE uptime, doesn't have the monster damage of either vraks 5 or laspistol, etc.

BUT it's not bad.

[hollow summit]

Which one is vraks 5

[restive slate]

All fair points

Hard to top those two

[strong gulch]

IAG Vraks 5

[hollow summit]

Infantry hmmm

Ok

[west spire]

Zealot question, cause they wont answer. What's a good dump for thammer?

[spice oar]

people either go for defences or mobility, I'd say mobility

[strong gulch]

There is a pinned guide in zealot chat. Idk if build context matters but I would trust Ainz.

[steel flame]

If a weapon has defences, dump defences, if it doesn't, dump mobility, and if it's a force weapon dump warp resist instead

Some weapons are exceptions but for the most part you can do it for almost everything

[potent echo]

Revolver gaze got much better once they buffed gaze to have suppression immunity

But gaze is more like an assail/melee kinda deal for me, like when I run it with VB or VS

[verbal thistle]

true besides FGS, Crusher, and arby shield

[west spire]

sweet, ty all

[white sky]

You don't dump defenses on arb shield?

[verbal thistle]

its like crusher

power only effects the special

[white sky]

I like the extra range on special power gives you tbh

Its like 3m longer, a little wider

[steel flame]

Fgs? I mean it's another force weapon so byebye warp res like the rest of em

[peak sundial]

WHAT YOU CAN ROTATE THE ENERVATING SHIELD.

i never even thought to look

[steel flame]

Yessir. It has its uses, the hitbox for stopping specials and shocking enemies extends out a bit from both faces of the wall shield so you can catch more stuff for longer by turning rather than having it flat face forward

[peak sundial]

on that note i only just found out a few days ago that left click only on brainburst is like a full second faster to charge (i always just targeted with right click then charged)

[umbral sonnet]

Anyone got any tips for melee pskyer? Iv always played flame and shriek and kicked arse but fuck me this melee shit its like flailing around with a wet cardboard sword on auric, it doesn't kill anything that actually needs killing quickly?

[peak sundial]

what melee are you trying with it

[umbral sonnet]

Blaze great

[peak sundial]

keystone?

[unreal bridge]

Am I doing something terribly wrong with ainz melee psyker?

I can’t keep it up for more then like 15 seconds without my peril jumping fast af to 100

[steel flame]

The typical build would be slapping FGS on a scriers build with DD

[umbral sonnet]

Empowered psionics

[umbral sonnet]

Pretty much what iv done?

[peak sundial]

ah
i believe the common pick for melee is Disrupt Destiny with Scrier's, it

[steel flame]

I prefer using fgs in my shriek blazing spirit melee build but I know that freaks this chat out

[peak sundial]

gives lots of nice advantages that synergize with running around meleeing like a lunatic

[steel flame]

Which mark are you using?

[umbral sonnet]

I actually copied this build Straight from Mr E, his 3rd melee spyker build and it looks to go hard but I cant seem to get the bloody thing to slap harder then a wet fuckin noodle ?

[keen river]

I'm level 24 on this class and its been a really horrible experience. I heard Psykers have good dps but most games I play I'm doing less dps than every other class and the survivability is pretty low. Is this just a class thats gonna need everything 100% maxed and perfect to become good?

[umbral sonnet]

Mk vI

MK VI

[unreal bridge]

Psyker survivability is only bad if you don’t know how to play the class well (imo)

But also it’s waaaay better at max

[keen river]

Well i don't really have the dps to make up for that right now lol

[umbral sonnet]

I normally just a flame staff venting psyker and the thing melts everything besides crushers and 2 brain bursts normally sorts that out but if the vet is doing his fucking job then kraks should be sorting them out for ya

[steel flame]

I'm sure you already know but on mk6, l1, l2, block cancel repeat is your horde clear and your big damage attacks are coming out of your heavy 2. If you didn't know your heavy stab also chains straight out of warp slash which is excellent for staggering enemies for an easy followup stab headshot

But your heavy chain is gonna be your bread and butter for armor. You got very high finesse so if you are hitting those heavys into heads stuff will evaporate but feel really bad on body shots for big stuff

[keen river]

In randoms there is often a lack of gunners being dealt with which results in a lot of me barely able to do things. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the inferno staff struggles to kill things. Usually everyone just kills things before me cause of the lack of dps

[umbral sonnet]

Don't get me fuckin started on that mate, im running a flame staff you blokes all have guns...... SHOOT THE FUCKIN GUNNERS!!!! Fuck its so infuriating

[peak sundial]

double shield and brainburst spam goes brrr

[steel flame]

Have you considered empathic evasion?

[umbral sonnet]

Na inferno melts shit mate, wait till your full strength and then you will see the true power!!

[steel flame]

Just say no to bullets

[keen river]

we do a little sliding

[keen river]

Yeah but my main concern is dps cause its like really bad right now

[steel flame]

And for my own amusement, here is my unga bunga melee great sword build. https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00aa358-26ff-4d52-91ba-559682ebd0e9/zazys-blazing-spirit-greatsword-unga-bunga-experience?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

[umbral sonnet]

Lol yea but I shouldn't have too, people forget that its actually a team based game and people need to take on a job and stick to it

[keen river]

I just don't know what i should do right now with early game psyker cause it just does not feel great and perhaps i just need a different build for now

[umbral sonnet]

I'll have a crack at it cheers mate

[peak sundial]

it's a team game, but with psyker, specialization seems more optional than usual

[umbral sonnet]

Brother we all know your pain as we had to drag our arses through the same tournament but once you hit dirty 30 you will see the difference

Made me think of you

[verbal thistle]

denied?

[keen river]

I see ill just try to stick to it. Kind of unlucky on shop gear and stuff too but i do see things improving

[verbal thistle]

thats an instant accept right there

[ripe obsidian]

I know

[verbal thistle]

man knows how to play

speaking of

[ripe obsidian]

Is why I thought of you

the build is so dumb

fatmangus is too op

[ripe obsidian]

I have a newbie Psyker build in the pinned build guide

[tulip kettle]

how is every thumbnail better than the last

[verbal thistle]

I love the mini michael wave

[verbal thistle]

that psyker drew

her with swrod

[peak sundial]

looks funny
asking as a casual, but how weapon agnostic do you suppose it is, skipping crit talents

[ripe obsidian]

Thou art a sneaky stabber with that build

[steel flame]

@verbal thistle I'm actually kinda curious, Thoughts on my abomination? Always looking for ways to trim fat

[verbal thistle]

this?

[steel flame]

Ye

[verbal thistle]

curio perks are something

[steel flame]

Been working shopping it through different patches for over a year now but it's hard to ever get actual feedback

[steel flame]

Yeah I just picked shit at random and forgot to update it

[verbal thistle]

I dont see how you gain peril outside warp slice so maybe not quietude

maybe soulstealer

[spice oar]

just to echo what others said FGS with scriers is good

[steel flame]

Warp slice at 25% peril resistance is 50% peril per activation and then just a dream tops it up from there in a melee brawl

[spice oar]

(the link in the comments is to the build editor fyi)

[verbal thistle]

Thank you

fixing

fixed

[steel flame]

It's actually a huge reason why illi sword straight up can't function in the build

[spice oar]

my poor boy illisi

[steel flame]

Rip sword stroking for peril

[spice oar]

i am devestated

almost as bad as the EP charged strike nerf

[viscid matrix]

Can’t you get a much lower resist for more peril?

[umbral sonnet]

Yep thats what im running, and it works grate on the squishy stuff but come up against any armour and ya mite as well be using a rolling pin, it does kill them eventually but not fast enough, better off to run away and let the zelly nuke it with his hammer

[peak sundial]

fuck how did this happen
im suddenly addicted to stupid shield spam brainburst build and dont want to play anything else

hah brain go brr

its so hilarious

[umbral sonnet]

Got a build for it?

[viscid matrix]

Still wish we had an actual psyker attack Crush instead of brain pop

[peak sundial]

after BSing my way through one, i checked the pinned document on a lark and realized there was already something 99% similar

toward the bottom i think

ill screenshot what im currently using in a moment tho

[spice oar]

The speed is addicting

You using EP for it too?

[steel flame]

What would you recommend for curios anyway. If I remember I currently use corruption resist, res speed and I think I'm experimenting with ability Regen again. I can never settle on anything tbh

[peak sundial]

ye EP

[verbal thistle]

Toughness always imo. Gunner res is nearly always useful, 3rd slot I've messed around with, I switch between cdr, revive, hp

[spice oar]

Now did you know, not sure if this was patched people can correct me

If you have EP brain burst and kinetic flayer, if you have a stack of EP when kinetic flayer is on, you’ll deal the damage of an empowered brain burst and it won’t consume a stack

So pretty fire against maulers and crushers

[peak sundial]

oh neat

[steel flame]

See I had gunner resist for awhile but the only time gunners get to actually shoot me is when I do a monumental fuck up. Empathic and Regen over time kinda make them a non issue, and if that's not enough running at them screaming with a 50% crit laspistol usually is

[spice oar]

Would you switch stamina regen for revive?

[verbal thistle]

I dont see that much use for stam regen on psyker

they have a small pool and their delay is super short

[spice oar]

I’ve found it useful for sprinting and Mister E recommended it off of their curios vid

[verbal thistle]

plus they have options that make stam irrelevant (KD and warp ghost)

[spice oar]

True true

[viscid matrix]

I just go corruption resist for easier tome and monstrosity fighting

[spice oar]

Damm I got told that was stupid to use

[verbal thistle]

it has uses but rare

its on the lower end of useful perks

[spice oar]

What about against the corruption goop in havoc? Any noticeable difference?
