psyker-class

[wispy bay]

To that gun/melee build*

[sage pulsar]

I see, thanks for the info then! For now, I shall play a different game for a bit. But I'll probably be around later with more questions.

[acoustic jacinth]

Good luck

[sullen mango]

So the bubble takes some time to make projectiles disappear i think

just got trapped inside a bubble because I got shot at point-blank

[wispy bay]

It takes a few server ticks to do so sometimes you still get hit.

[deft stump]

Yeah. Always dodge back a little.

[modest perch]

2 tickrate servers

[knotty saddle]

im having a lot of fun with blaze sword voidblast staff assail

are these good weapons or meme weapons

level 15 btw

[wispy bay]

That's the best you can get at that level.

[knotty saddle]

I tried greatsword too, but it felt really bad

but I also didnt really get how to use it

[dull scroll]

they are all good weapons, but your homebrew mixture is peak meme

[knotty saddle]

hmm. well I like assail the most out of them

[dull scroll]

as well you should

[knotty saddle]

blaze sword is kind of cool but really only for the special

they're staring at us...

[dull scroll]

weapons at lvl15 are jokes 😏 assail you got is the same assail people use to clear h40s

KAIREN STOP LURKING

[deft stump]

THEY STROKE THE FORCE SWORD WHYYYYYYYYYY

[knotty saddle]

she stroke my force sword until I... oneshot the mauler

c:

[knotty saddle]

idc about the melee really, but I would like to end up with a staff + assail combo

I play guns enough on other classes, really only want staffs

voidstrike was also interesting

[dull scroll]

staff + assail is peak meme, the only combo that even close to making sense later is voidstrike/assail, don't hold your hopes on that combo

assail is by design made for melee/gun psyker

[deft stump]

@dull scroll They stroke it... wehhhhhhh

[knotty saddle]

can you go back to staring lol

too much stroking here

[dull scroll]

KARIEN IS MAKING IT WEIRD I'M OUT

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-running-gif-5218444295714452030

[acoustic jacinth]

With SG EK or VS it ain't bad tbh, but i get your point

[modest perch]

I LOVE MY STAFF ASSAIL SCRIERS BUILD

[knotty saddle]

what do these funny letters mean

[acoustic jacinth]

Scrier's gaze, electrokinetic staff, voidstrike

Unlike inferno and voidblast, they are staffs incapable of inherently generating soulblaze, so using shriek with them is really just a means to boost your dps output much as you can, but that of course is more playing shriek than staff

[deft stump]

Thanks for reminding of that one time I made someone a build using the remnants of my lost build so I ended up with Illisi, assail, purga on a sg/dd build.

We went into a game and I was like, WTF is my melee and SG lul.

[wraith sphinx]

complete glossary in da pins homie

[deft stump]

It was fine, just blazed a path through.

[knotty saddle]

I main ogryn

I cant read

[boreal steppe]

would anyone have a recommendation for getting rid of the on hit blood splatter?
I tried the "Blood Splatter" in disable screen effects, but it did nothing for me

[marble crater]

There is probably a mod

[boreal steppe]

well, yah
thats what disable screen effects is

[marble crater]

Ah

[boreal steppe]

im more just trying to figurte out which setting it is

[knotty saddle]

I just tried this scriers gaze electrokinetic combo and it feels kinda hard

alot to manage

idk if my brain is big enough

[marble crater]

I thought that was an ingame setting

[acoustic jacinth]

Its not trust

Ek most stuff

Melee carapace

Assail the dense packs of shotgunners/gunners... you get the point

[knotty saddle]

actually I just talented reality anchor

and it got way easier

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah. Though... you don't have to bother actively worrying about staying in sg much

When the situation allows sure

But dont overdo it

[knotty saddle]

ive been trying it in the meat grinder and its easy to maintain up to like 25 stacks

am I supposed to reset it then or something

[deft stump]

You just upkeep as long as you can while murdering.

[zealous wing]

you use the warp unbound time to keep casting, its less about maintaining but the little damage boost is good

[acoustic jacinth]

You dont have to worry about the stacks tho

Yeah

The main purpose of reality anchor is uh

Sadly mostly a tax to warp unbound

[deft stump]

Also helps with staying in it for longer.

[zealous wing]

precog is usually whats gone with even then for some extra dmg

[acoustic jacinth]

Tho of course when the situation allows you can stay in sg for a bit longer

[deft stump]

A little more leeway before you hit 100.

Since slower. Also probably a must if you goofed up with a staff with SG.

[knotty saddle]

excellent. my meme build comes together

mauahahahaha

[zealous wing]

i think its this one?

i dont have many disabled but i dont get the "bleeding" overlay anymore so i presume this is what i'd done, i just dont remember

could also be the critical health one

[boreal steppe]

I'll try it

nope, I still get blood when I hit things

[zealous wing]

let me go into psyk

can you send me a screenshot of what specifically you mean just so theres no confusion?

[deft stump]

Maybe just show them all your settings and easier to nick one off at the time till right one.

[zealous wing]

i thought they meant the pouring blood overlay, so i just want clarification

my brain isnt working so, direct is better

[acoustic jacinth]

For m1 EK or VS yeah, m2 EK sadly gets nothing from it

[deft stump]

I suspect is the blood splatters.

The thing that covers the screen.

Think is default settings to remove.

One of them at the bottom.

[boreal steppe]

the effect on the side of the screen here

[zealous wing]

i dont get those

let me look at everything i've got

[deft stump]

Check visual or interface.

I think at the bottom.

Is a gore thing.

[zealous wing]

can confirm its not these

[deft stump]

Hrm, then might be a mod.

[marble crater]

You might be a mod

[boreal steppe]

yah, I tried em all

[zealous wing]

ive tested all of mine i had on, by turning them off, its not back for me, so its likely something else, will keep testing

it could also just be something where we have to load out then back in

[boreal steppe]

my original guess was it would be the blood splatter one

[boreal steppe]

yah, i've been doing that
still no luck

[zealous wing]

very odd

i cant actually remember when the change happened, because i didnt even know what you'd originally meant

[deft stump]

I used to be on other stuff.

[marble crater]

What if you turn your graphic settings low enough that you don't see them anymore

[marble crater]

Yeah, I bet you are addicted to water

[deft stump]

I still have them. I'm on below min.

[deft stump]

What happens if you uhh, turn off splatters in interface and that slider bar relating to how long blood splatters last?

I think default is 30 or 40 secs.

Or 30 - 40 something.

[marble crater]

Last option is moving to Japan or playing a Japanese version of the game, because they are censored even more than the German one

[boreal steppe]

guess im moving to japan now /j

[marble crater]

/j for Japan

[zealous wing]

im mostly confused now because i kinda want the splatters back

but i have no idea how the fuck

i turned them off

[marble crater]

Maybe you can just trade PCs?

[zealous wing]

it could be a mod just, doing it on its own without my knowledge

hell no

[boreal steppe]

hell no

I like my pc

[zealous wing]

same

[boreal steppe]

and I got why too much yuri on this thing, im keeping my yuri

[marble crater]

Don't let Karien know this, she will come and steal your PC

[deft stump]

Different taste in yuri maybe.

[zealous wing]

only one way to find out, karien.

anyway, no im still lost

i am now very sure the blood splatter being off is not something i went out of my way to do

[deft stump]

So, I need an address. Or just access to the drive with the yuri stash.

[zealous wing]

so it has to just be either a bug with me, or something else going a little weird with a mod

[deft stump]

Maybe another mod?

[marble crater]

Yeah I guess there would be different tastes, wouldn't there

[knotty saddle]

I love signalis

[deft stump]

Yeah. Also characters if fanworks.

[knotty saddle]

wait am I reading warp unbound correctly? is this the same thing as v2 pyro rictus?

[zealous wing]

ive got Disable Screen Effects, and Clean Force Blocking... nothing else seems on the surface like it would affect

[marble crater]

11,5 even, because there is a grace period

[knotty saddle]

wowie

[deft stump]

YOU ARE THE SUS ONE!

[knotty saddle]

you have no evidence

c:

[zealous wing]

HUH

OH i see what happened

[marble crater]

Denied

[zealous wing]

you deleted the message and discord freaked out

[deft stump]

Maybe is some jank between two mods. I know I karked stuff up with my uhh... WAY TOO MANY mods on L4D2 before.

[zealous wing]

but i do

[zealous wing]

anyway, what i WAS going to send,

[deft stump]

Oh?

That guy keeps trying to stroke his/their sword in public.

[zealous wing]

also, i am fairly sure the moderators are competent enough to have an archive/log channel set up for them to see every deleted message, plus there are discord plugins to see deleted messages / messages pre-edit

and, yknow, those of us with instant replay active

[deft stump]

Is not serious. It's relating to the blaze force sword.

[zealous wing]

ye i figured, im just saying

nothing is ever gone forever

[boreal steppe]

yoo, signalis is fun

[marble crater]

"iirc" you can tell the clip is a bit older, because this is from before Hexis became an elitist

[deft stump]

Oh?

[zealous wing]

"a bit older"

just a lil bit older

still pretty recent though

[marble crater]

Called it

[marble crater]

In your case everything is recent, your psyker level is already higher than mine now I am pretty sure

[zealous wing]

dom put on 3x experience nodes on his curios to stay above me

[marble crater]

Good

[zealous wing]

its working, because am sick, not playing much

[marble crater]

Not so good, get better

[zealous wing]

the fear in his words though was palpable, when he realised i was 10 levels below him, from 30, overnight

when i lock in, its so over

[deft stump]

That's hilarious.

[zealous wing]

the race to 1k will be glorious indeed

i think i'll hold off until he reaches about 960

[deft stump]

Why though?

[zealous wing]

but, if i wanna play ill play

funnier if he thinks he's got this won, and bam, im in the lead, out of nowhere

hes about 918 now i think, didnt really pay attention after our last game

[marble crater]

Because he wants to make Dom sad

[zealous wing]

why would he be sad

with friends like these...

[deft stump]

Don't you two be the two you should stay far away from if not in serious havoc?

[zealous wing]

if you mean other people should stay away from us, yeah probably

[marble crater]

All looks deserved

[deft stump]

"BARREL OVERLOADING!" X 99999999

[zealous wing]

look at that lil hexis

dom created a monster that day

damn you had to stare at me twice huh

i saw that removal and re-add

[deft stump]

So you are saying we should stare at him as well?

[zealous wing]

at dom? yes, 100%, when he can come back

[deft stump]

Yes. Innocent lil kid... then...

All barrels are a danger.

[zealous wing]

from not even TL 200, to TL 902, its been a weird journey tbh

[deft stump]

As long as one had fun, does it matter?

[zealous wing]

it does, because i had fun

[knotty saddle]

I shoot every barrel

how could I not?

[deft stump]

I guess. Heh.

Maybe I need to see if I can afford to ask Licht to sketch my Vet judging ppl with her bistol for emote.

[zealous wing]

maybe you could have it as a sticker too, when you're feeling like you REALLY want someone to know they're being judged

like, HEAVILY judged

[deft stump]

True. There is no Eula Stare as sticker sadly.

The Lynette one stopped being usable...

I guess there's this one.

[knotty saddle]

thats hot

I mean

no stop staring

[deft stump]

You sus.

[distant lark]

Getting back on playing psyker, hadnt played since before the tree got changed, I cant find solid info online but does the side talent to the smite blitz called enfeeble effect other sources than smite like the surge staff?

[zealous wing]

no, because you cant use smite while using actual weapons

[ripe obsidian]

Kuli's guide in the pins are the best source for that sort of info. Pinned build guide for updated builds

[zealous wing]

idk why but i am extremely disappointed...

||that blazing spirit on my trauma staff does not work with the melee attack on it||

and yes, it crits

[boreal steppe]

which of the blitzs would yall recommend with an infernus staff?
im stuck between brain burst and assail

but it doesnt feel like I use brain burst much beyond the 12 second free one

[marble crater]

Whichever you enjoy more

[deft stump]

BB for KF.

Usually.

[zealous wing]

yes, BB with KF

[boreal steppe]

okay, I remember what kf is
but not what it does

[deft stump]

12 sec free bb on things important.

[boreal steppe]

oh wait, thats whats the free burst is called again

I just call it free head

[deft stump]

Kinetic Flayer lul.

[deft stump]

Sus.

[ripe obsidian]

Most people don't. KF is like 10-15% of your total damage in a standard H40, tho

[zealous wing]

so, to help in the future, when choosing a blitz, "what is my current kit missing?"

[marble crater]

Skill

[boreal steppe]

yuri

[zealous wing]

true

[marble crater]

Maybe this is a Karien alt

[boreal steppe]

damn, the one time I want to do an espionage mission
none

[zealous wing]

campaign is always there, albiet more boring because less spawns

[marble crater]

Campaign

[boreal steppe]

oh yah

I dont mind dealing with less spawns for a bit

[boreal steppe]

and nope

im just gay

[low merlin]

I use this with my sniper build, it's absolutely evil. Even if I body shot they explode under "mysterious circumstances."

Also good at dealing with the carapace armored morons.

[zealous wing]

for gunker / meleeker its usually best to have assail, but i do see the appeal of KF

[low merlin]

I use the Headhunter Autogun.

[zealous wing]

when i ran shredder autopistol as a meme with KF, KF did like half my damage

[low merlin]

With the Dueling Sword for crowd control.

[zealous wing]

odd choice

[marble crater]

[zealous wing]

i prefer my kind of crowd control

[low merlin]

How so?

[marble crater]

Dueling Sword is missing the crowd part

[low merlin]

My first Psyker runs that melee build, but with the Bolt Pistol instead of the lasgun.

My second Psyker is the assassin.

[zealous wing]

lasgun/vraks is for boss damage and EE procs, otherwise anything works long as it can snipe specials tbh

especially if you lack assail

[low merlin]

Bolt Pistol works good for elites.

[zealous wing]

its ok for them, yeah

easy to run out of ammo on bistol, but, it does work

[low merlin]

I just like it.

[zealous wing]

i run bistol on my zealot, its 90% for specials, 10% "oh shit a boss, let me get bleed stacks on it and go bonk it"

[low merlin]

It has a nice satisfying clunk every time it fires.

[zealous wing]

its ok

very clunky

but, more ammo than a revolver, and better reload, so, therefore a good sidearm

[low merlin]

But sniper build is also fun.

[zealous wing]

i imagine it could be, i personally just prefer frontlining most of the time, though trauma has me in its grasp, quite firmly

trying to frontline and use trauma is a fun challenge

[low merlin]

I rewatched the Bad Batch recently and I got a wonderful idea.

That's how I made my build.

[deft stump]

No, I wouldn't tell ppl to play Katawa Shoujo. That's het. Maybe find the yuri fanworks though.

[low merlin]

Is that not what it's for?

[zealous wing]

well

what difficulty do you run?

[low merlin]

I'm just trying to max out my stuff, so I'm on Damnation.

[deft stump]

It's only horde clear on like malice tops.

Maybe heresy if on zealot.

[zealous wing]

you can kinda make it work, if you''re really on top of warp splitting, but yeah

its barely functional horde clear, to the point cleave is the dump stat for it

[low merlin]

Do I just run the Greatsword like a normal Psyker?

[deft stump]

Which mark do you use?

Cos mk4 absolutely isn't horde clear.

2 can work-ish.

5 is funni dodge.

[low merlin]

I run Mk II.

[deft stump]

OH.

Well, that explains everything.

[sullen mango]

Wait the DS has other marks?

[low merlin]

Did I do something incorrectly?

[zealous wing]

most weapons have other marks

[deft stump]

Yes.

[deft stump]

No. We just assumed everyone uses 4 cos that's the best mark.

[sullen mango]

I don't think I have seen one that's not IV

[low merlin]

I already have the sniper to deal with elites, the sword is just for hordes. And I'm rarely on the front lines, I'm usually in the back.

[zealous wing]

which, is funny, because last match i stabbed 11 things with it the whole game

but i had it

best DS mark, still seldom used

use it far more on rending trauma tho

have to

[deft stump]

I see.

[deft stump]

But still funny we both thought he used the mk 4 and wot.

[zealous wing]

sounds like @quiet inlet 's playstyle, the never-warp

[low merlin]

Elaborate.

Send a link.

[deft stump]

Only peril taken is KD and JaD lmao.

Is free damage reduction, RIGHT?

[zealous wing]

well, i dont have his build, i just know him lmao

pistol of some sort (he changes it out on a whim), heavy sword, BB with KF, somehow still explodes but tries to not generate peril

its just funny to me is all

pistol, tiny sword, bb

[low merlin]

I run the Mk. II Headhunter Autogun.

[zealous wing]

who mentioned bistol earlier then

ah you but diff build

[low merlin]

That was for my melee build.

[zealous wing]

im tired, apologies

also

headhunter

thats... a vigilant, yes?

[neon laurel]

I'm catching up on the bubble knight v scriers gaze discussion here, and... which keystone do you prefer with those?

[low merlin]

It's all good, but my melee build uses Greatsword+Bolt Pistol, and my sniper/assassin build runs Headhunter Autogun and dueling sword

[low merlin]

Yes.

[zealous wing]

DD for both

well

[neon laurel]

Good! That's what I've been using. 😎

[zealous wing]

if melee/voidstrike/gun/surge surge style, its DD

theres a rending trauma build using SG and warp siphon, but

its an exception not the rule

[low merlin]

Should I use DD with my sniper build?

[zealous wing]

actually yes

its the only one that would probably benefit you

[low merlin]

Yeah, because I could just snipe the highlighted enemies at range.

[boreal steppe]

I've been having a lot of fun with tactical axe, infenus staff, and venting shriek

[zealous wing]

tis indeed a mix

[low merlin]

Interesting.

What level do I need to be to post images?

[boreal steppe]

once you have said enough
you become

[zealous wing]

keep chatting, itll trigger eventually

[boreal steppe]

red

[low merlin]

Okay

I will keep talking until I become red.

[zealous wing]

i dont know the actual number/time frame in which the chats have to happen, but its not super long

[boreal steppe]

yah, it isnt

[zealous wing]

so uh

hmm

what region are you

how long have you been playing?
coming up with topics is hard

[low merlin]

NA. And I've played over 120 hours.

[zealous wing]

nice

east or west?

[boreal steppe]

uhyhh
whats your prefered body part to explode with your mind?

[zealous wing]

i like the look on the heretics faces when i pop their arm off

[low merlin]

East.

And I enjoy head popping.

[deft stump]

Usually around 100~ messages I think.

[boreal steppe]

I personally go for the toes

really throws them off

[zealous wing]

i shall use steve as science fodder

[zealous wing]

i bet they cant stand it

[low merlin]

[deft stump]

For convict role?

[zealous wing]

yes

[boreal steppe]

also I cant remember, what are the blessings for inferno force staff?

[zealous wing]

data is data

[low merlin]

I guess I'll keep talking until I become red.

[zealous wing]

blaze away, warp nexus

[boreal steppe]

I mean perks

[zealous wing]

flak, then crit or unyielding

[boreal steppe]

not blessing, I actually know those
i forgot the perks and cant type

[boreal steppe]

crit chance I assume?

[zealous wing]

yes

[boreal steppe]

ty

[zealous wing]

you should also look into uncanny stacking if you ever start looking at upper havocs

[boreal steppe]

I just like to make 1 maxed copy of any class specific weapon once it reaches 20

[low merlin]

While y'all like charging in recklessly, I enjoy assessing and advancing.

[zealous wing]

why not both? >:D

[boreal steppe]

I will charge in recklessly, with much thought and assement on my hatred of the enemy

[low merlin]

I've got two stamina and one toughness curio.

[zealous wing]

general awareness is good to have tho

[boreal steppe]

average soldier on upward

[low merlin]

Oh no way, you like TF2 as well?

Who do you main?

[boreal steppe]

medic technicaly, but somehow I only play battle engi in comp

[low merlin]

I main medic too!

Loadout?

[boreal steppe]

depends on the team
but most commonly, quick fix, overdose, and vita saw

since well

pub players cant be trusted

[low merlin]

I run Vaccinator, Ubersaw, and Crusader's Crossbow.

[boreal steppe]

but if the team is good
stock medi gun, crossbow, and ubersaw

[boreal steppe]

a good choice

I do wish chaos wastes existed in this game

[low merlin]

I don't know how they'd manifest that.

[boreal steppe]

I get why it isnt

still wish it was

[zealous wing]

sadly mortis is the closest we have atm

[low merlin]

We got trench warfare.

Why are there never any No Man's Land missions available?

[zealous wing]

ive seen them a lot

its in regular rotation

[low merlin]

I haven't seen one in a while.

[zealous wing]

they did have it on the board permanently for a little while there, theres also always campaing playlist if you just want to learn the map, but it does come up

[boreal steppe]

bad luck I guess

[low merlin]

Fair enough

Sometimes I'll get in a situation where me and a sniper enemy will just keep firing at each other and missing.

[marble crater]

Skissue

[low merlin]

I'M RED NOW YAHOO.

[marble crater]

[neon laurel]

When you turn red, do you unlock the ability to use emojis as reactions?

[low merlin]

Yes, and you can post images.

[sage pulsar]

hey, already back with some more questions. When is the right time to actually use scrier's gaze? Like, while inside a fight or before it? As honestly I'm not sure I feel it much when activating it. Might also just be a massive skill issue on my part though I'm still new to psyker, or much of darktide

[marble crater]

The cooldown is not that long, just use it whenever you fight

Depending on your talents that reduce peril you can have it up for the entire fight and long afterwards

[zealous wing]

83 messages

[low merlin]

Very well then.

[zealous wing]

its gotta be related to messages sent within a certain time frame, like an hour or something

[sage pulsar]

Well I'm actually attempting to make Hexis' berpsyker build since it was listed in the doc as decently beginner friendly.

I am noticing I'm using melee less then my gun though so I might wanna swap builds

[low merlin]

Whatever that Hive Scum gave me has me tweaking.

[zealous wing]

it is a melee build, with the gun as your mobility stick, boss DPS, empathic evasion proc tool, so if you're using it too much, try to not use it at all until you fight a boss / find yourself at a gunner wall. otherwise, yeah, a different build is probably for you

[low merlin]

Perilous Combustion is mandatory for all builds.

[zealous wing]

incorrect

[low merlin]

Most*

[zealous wing]

personally, incorrect

[low merlin]

Meant to say most.

[zealous wing]

it goes on fire builds

not melee/gun especially

[low merlin]

It works better for my sniper build rather than my melee build.

[sage pulsar]

Yea. I do enjoy a good cleave through enemies but I'm noticing i might just be slightly too much of a gun nut with that recon las rifle. And assail is pretty fun too.

If i want more of a gun build, do you have suggestions? Or are you more of a melee person in general?

[zealous wing]

vraks infauto

can elaborate after mission

[sage pulsar]

Take your time. I'm making dinner anyway

[zealous wing]

sorry i misread

this gun could help you not go gunhappy on the horde tho

if you want more gun happy tho technically my build works for that already too

but reconlas being the most ammo efficient gun possible, while still having good boss DPS, is why its there

(i am sick and havent slept in a good chunk of time, so again i apologise for miscommunications)

i can see if theres tweaks i'd do, im chatting between runs with a buddy

[sage pulsar]

It's fine. Can't fault someone for being sick lol

[sage pulsar]

And if you have some I'd love to learn em! As i said I'm quite new so buildcrafting is like wizardry to me right now.

But yea, so your build still works fine if i end up going more gunhappy then sword happy?

[cunning delta]

why do ppl take perilous combustion but not wildfire

is it the limit

[opaque tulip]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm

Fuck it, I’m turning my psyker into a tank :3

[steel flame]

people see small number but forget they can add

trust me ive been having this headache for years now

[cunning delta]

oh dear

[verbal thistle]

If it's just those 2 talents it's often not worthwhile

But if you build more into synergies

It gets massive value

Like kinetic flayer and a staff with soulblaze

[zealous wing]

a bit, however, it IS still melee heavy. and, yeah theres not much to do, just take true aim if youre going reconlas, as long as youre using assail in there somewhere to get malefic momentum going, it'll function

like, actually looking at it with the few braincells i have anyway

the sword in the case of gun heavy would still be your big damage

that wont change

sword for armoured, and bosses if you're fine being close, gun if youre not ok being close, that kind of thing

[sage pulsar]

I see, well i definitely use assail yea. I tend to fire them off then swap to my reconlas and go back and forth between em.

[zealous wing]

beans' very helpful scoreboard

that 11.8k, is from the FGS stab on a captain at the end of rolling steel

[sage pulsar]

Also will i have to swap true aim for any other perk?

in a single stab

[sage pulsar]

A single stab? Damn

[zealous wing]

no, my tree is 29/30 in that guide, with suggestions for where to put the point based on playstyle

[sage pulsar]

Ah, i see. Well thank you so much! And as for scrier's gaze? Just activate it based on feeling when you need it?

[zealous wing]

or activate it whenever theres anything around to kill

i use warp speed on mine, so i use it pretty much all the time

in some nice situations i get it back before warp unbound is even over

[cunning delta]

does blaze greatsword special attack count as a warp based kill or nah

[zealous wing]

warp attack, yes

OH speaking of

the warp slash only needs 1 charge and 80+ peril to kill trash, even in auric

it doesnt cut them all in half but it does kill them

[sage pulsar]

Good to know. So generally i won't have to charge it up fully?

[zealous wing]

generally no, but its still fun

[sage pulsar]

Oh yea! About the sword! Any particular reason for which mark you chose to use?

[zealous wing]

and itll kill more if its full

ie, gunners, shotgunners, various other nasties

[zealous wing]

6, because its more versatile

8 has horizontal light attacks, very brain off, just light spam for hordes, but stab is only accessed via push attack heavy, which uses peril and stamina, which you might not always be able to do

6 heavy stab is accessed as heavy 2, or light attack 1 then a heavy attack

i do have a notepad here with what i was drafting together for the guide for my build, it hasnt been edited/cut down yet, but

[sage pulsar]

I see. And for the wider sweeps, what'd the combo be on 6? Or still brain off light spam?

[zealous wing]

oh god i forgot how shit discord is at this

[sage pulsar]

Yea. Discord's really shit at that. Double cause I'm on my phone rn

[zealous wing]

sec

You will mainly be using the FGS (melee) for this build. you will use light attacks for horde clear, and heavy attacks for single target. if you want a more technical approach, light attacks 1, 2, and 3 are sweeping attacks, and after any of these attacks, perform a block cancel by holding block for just a moment before continuing your attacks to loop this pattern. this will allow you to bypass light attack 4, which is a strikedown single target attack. heavy attack 1 is a strikedown, and heavy attack 2 is a very strong stab attack, perfect for dealing with crushers in a swift manner, as well as maulers, ragers, and other bothersome heretics. to access heavy 2 in a quick manner, perform light attack 1 then initiate the heavy attack, which will be this stab attack. an alternate horde clear pattern is to loop the following pattern: light, light, light, heavy.

if you are using a recon lasgun, will mainly be used to get crits to then proc empathic evasion, which will make you immune to ranged attacks during its 1s duration. reconlas' fast firerate and high ammo capacity allows for reliable safety when dealing with gunner lines and reaper clusters.

if you are using a vraks, this is less reliable, as aiming is harder and the firerate is slower, as well as the ammo capacity being lower, however it does pack more punch per bullet, so it will do the following job very well.

your gun will also be used to take out monstrosities, ranged enemies, and specials. otherwise, you will be focusing on hitting the closest things with your sword. the sword is also a viable option for fighting monstrosities, though this depends on how well you know their attack patterns, when to dodge, etc.

assail will be used to also deal with specials, elites, and to assist with horde clear, mainly to proc Malefic Momentum, which will greatly increase your damage with both the assail, and your melee/ranged weapon. you will try to weave assail with your sword attacks, i generally throw two then go back to melee. assail will also stagger ragers, so if a swarm of them comes after you, throw a few to let yourself reposition and get some attacks in while they recover.

ideally you will maintain around 80-90% peril, to get the most out of all the peril-reliant talents, while still allowing you to throw an assail or FGS special attack.

[still merlin]

Hey guys, sorry im really new to the game and leveling my 1st character psyker right now and almost level 30. Ive been enjoying using the blaze sword 1h and inferno staff with smite as the ability. Does anyone have a build recommendation for the rest of the talents / masteries.

[zealous wing]

well

a force sword and inferno is a good match (with the right build), but smite is generally not focused on here, so i dont think we have something ready to go for that, especially that mix

smite teaches real bad habits, and causes numerous issues later on

[still merlin]

Hmm dang, what would you recommend in that case

[zealous wing]

for inferno, brain burst with kinetic flayer node

pure passive damage

[still merlin]

I also use the bubble is that a okay idea?

[zealous wing]

you can use bubble with inferno, though it'll make you struggle more to maintain the high peril psyker craves while also not exploding

but it can indeed work

there are bubble inferno builds in the guide

as far as smite, the main thing i suggest is to try it on a melee build, but only really after you get used to how the game works, how to not position poorly, etc, the number of smite psykers i've seen tell me "i know how to dodge dont worry" and then die horrible deaths repeatedly, is absurdly high

[still merlin]

Fair enough

Where can I find the guide, is it the ones in the pinned messages?

[sage pulsar]

thank you, really. I'm gonna go purge some heretics now

[zealous wing]

yes

its very comprehensive, and explains a lot of what you'll need

any other questions though, of course, we are here

[still merlin]

Sweet, much appreciated

[steel flame]

still prefer laspistol over recon tbh, better ammo consumption for same results

and better swap time for panic empathic evasion needs

[stiff cosmos]

recon spares your clicker finger though

[steel flame]

eh, its not nearly as bad as some stuff

[stiff cosmos]

interesting way to make assail work with melee. i still use smite just for the passives mainly, the ability itself is pure "oh shit". light attacks hardly need the help to kill chaff with FGS and the passive damage taken on big stuff with heavies helps everyone. does it clear any important breakpoints having momentum stacked?

i just don't like building around assail because you don't have much control over the shards.

if it bonks a mauler in the head then the value falls to nil instantly

[flint plover]

does damage matter on the inferno staff now?

[verbal thistle]

always did

more value then warp res

[summer prairie]

not really when short charging but wr still a better dump

[flint plover]

huh. alright, thanks

[cunning delta]

is this with unarmored or any specific perk/blessings?

[zealous wing]

nothing special, just normal FGS stuff. cara unyield, unstable power, shred

[zealous wing]

you have a lot of control, actually, they follow your crosshair

they go to the target you look at, more specifically

[stiff cosmos]

you're shitting me

how'd i never notice

still though

that actually... kinda makes it a bit worse to me

[zealous wing]

this means you can throw a few, and keep attacking the horde while looking at that approaching trapper

[stiff cosmos]

because i only see them as fire and forget tools

[cunning delta]

just dont fire them at maulers prob solved :^)

[stiff cosmos]

i'm more focused on the crusher in my face taking up my entire view than whatever trash is behind them

[zealous wing]

assail and BB are also havoc viable, smite falls off severely

smite offers no actual benefits other than an emergency stun that works sometimes

(enfeeble doesnt apply to charged strikes either)

[cunning delta]

😭

[stiff cosmos]

i'm not going to say smite's amazing but that did create a pretty huge rez window that just wasn't taken

until too late

[zealous wing]

it was taken, they were still being smited

the issue, is it recalibrates after anything dies

[stiff cosmos]

you're saying enfeeble doesn't work against targets electrocuted by the heavy melee?

[zealous wing]

correct

and, since smite turns off everyones "on dodge" talents and blessings, the 10% doesnt really make up for it

[stiff cosmos]

leave it to fatshark to fuck up an almost obviously intended interaction, i suppose

alright, different question for FGS: is warp splitting actually worth the point for it

cleave is always in a weird spot where it's either great or useless

i'm also running scriers with my melee build and so my perils have a tendency to either be really low or near instantly capped

as effective as the setup has been for me it doesn't lend itself well to high peril buffs

[zealous wing]

always, especially if you also use assail

[stiff cosmos]

true, it does help those shards a lot

[zealous wing]

youll find your peril is high when you need it to be

[stiff cosmos]

you mentioned using unstable power, i run shred and precog on my FGS, is it just a preference thing?

[zealous wing]

no, unstable power is core

it stacks 4x

shred and precog are fine as supplements to that

[stiff cosmos]

but my mauler oneshots 🙁

[zealous wing]

20% stength at 80 peril or more

you dont neeeeed 2 crit blessings

[stiff cosmos]

it's a weakspot blessing!!

not as consistent i'll grant

but stabbing carapace in the face with it tends to just kill them instantly

also it buffing the damage of the higher crit rate from shred is more synergistic than not

[zealous wing]

old clip, i should remake it

but the idea is there

if you want to oneshot a crusher, unstable is a key part of that

[stiff cosmos]

that looks like it takes so much longer than what i've been pulling off

with precog up they go down in 2 facestabs

[spice aurora]

Ngl when I play h40 I don’t think I notice a difference between warp splitting with a non scrier 90%+ peril average in mission, and a scrier’s build without it (cause I use the weakspot thing instead)

The sword special half charge can kill almost every trash and ur not rly cleaving thru anything but trash 🤷

especially if you special heavy into a horde, youll basically get a free half charge from that

[stiff cosmos]

i kinda figured, but it is true that assail benefits a lot more from the cleave

and i don't see how you'd reliably stack momentum without assail on a melee build

[spice aurora]

Assail its real goodwith

[zealous wing]

it definitely can go that fast, it depends on active buffs youll get in a live game too, of which i have none in that clip besides scriers

ill have DD active, scriers will likely have more stacks, i might even have some MM stacks ready

[zealous wing]

you wouldnt be able to

if you have a staff maybe you could, but thats a lot of switching for no reason

[stiff cosmos]

yeah like the most I can think of is voidstrike to pop a few heads in the horde or something but you lose so much melee time

for not much impact

[zealous wing]

assail works while you melee, making it the best thing for MM to work off of

[spice aurora]

Is this with or without scriers? Cuz without you are likely 90%+ peril most of the time and then have ti spend time quelling just to assail

[zealous wing]

free damage for the assail and your melee, at the same time

[plucky flax]

Bubble knight vs wall knight

[zealous wing]

both

i use it on bubble, and on SG

[stiff cosmos]

i've been p much exclusively running scriers with melee but i could see how bubble would work

[spice aurora]

You can always check your uptime on the melee buff with assail vs without

[plucky flax]

It works if you want to meme

[zealous wing]

if you dont have it active much, imma be honest, its more a skill issue than a build issue

its fine to have such a skill issue

but dont blame the build for that

[stiff cosmos]

w/o scriers the only way i could see high perils getting in the way of assail is if you're running warp ghost alongside

otherwise functionally assail is the reason you stay at high perils at all

[zealous wing]

its just the usual peril management skills tbh

[quiet inlet]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a01fb169-72b1-4262-86c9-4c51aa6c9204/fyker-short-king

[spice aurora]

What are you using assail for in general

Wat game mode too

[steel flame]

i forgot how fun maelstrom can be

[zealous wing]

auric, havoc when i feel like doing it with friends

[stiff cosmos]

friends that can play havoc? inconceivable

(god i hate the party finder)

[steel flame]

the bosses were dying faster than the crushers

[ripe obsidian]

I assume the DMs open person is just a spam bot

[steel flame]

i gotta figure out that cops boss damage

very nice

[zealous wing]

peril gen, ranged enemies, DD targets, horde clear assist, lone poxxers, rager stagger, trapper interrupts, specials hidden in mixed hordes, snipers,

[stiff cosmos]

also is the extra pierce talent for assail actually worth anything or

the description is... nondescriptive

[ripe obsidian]

It is not very good.

[steel flame]

peril cleave makes it redundant

waste of a talent the extra pierce is

[zealous wing]

its good if you do NOT have warp splitting, for example on rending trauma SG assail, but warp splitting is better

[spice aurora]

Is kulis guide on assail cleave much different for havoc, maybe it helpsmore or less there idk

[zealous wing]

also thank FUCK a nerd with working brain cells is here

please explain why unstable power on FGS instead of both precog+shred

my 2 braincells have lost the fight for 3rd place

[steel flame]

why the fuck would you put shred on fgs

[zealous wing]

because crit chance

[steel flame]

the best pattern makes shred useless.....

[ripe obsidian]

?

[stiff cosmos]

i have not had much issue maintaining shred on mk vi

[zealous wing]

11k damage in a single stab doesnt be useless

[stiff cosmos]

fgs finesse damage be wildin yo

[ripe obsidian]

Psyker lives and dies by crit chance

Like half your talents proc on crit

Shred is good.

[zealous wing]

literally, ee

and toughness

[steel flame]

i guess yall are using it on heavy chains

[zealous wing]

movespeed

[zealous wing]

and lights

[stiff cosmos]

works for both

[zealous wing]

are you also admitting skissues?

[spice aurora]

Unstable is basically 1.2x dmg at all times without scrier*

Riposte has crazy uptime when you actually need it vs shred

Precog is up when you need it, but compare a precog heavy stab vs unstable heavy stab and I don’t think they’re super far off

[ornate hamlet]

I'm an empath, this means I become Neo from The Matrix when I crit

[ripe obsidian]

I find X on dodge talents and blessings to be unreliable. Is why I don't use them often

[steel flame]

i dunno man i much prefer l1 l2 block cancel over going through the light cycle just to make shred work

[zealous wing]

i tried precog and it felt worse than shred

[ripe obsidian]

?????

[zealous wing]

i find shred far more reliable

[ripe obsidian]

Block doesn't kill shred

Wtf

[steel flame]

it doesnt?

[zealous wing]

i was right

[ripe obsidian]

No.

[ornate hamlet]

I started going for riposte after I got miffed that I would kill stuff and still swing my weapon because I didn't immediately react to the ragdoll

[steel flame]

since when

[spice aurora]

My shred uptime is 30% average max stack, riposte uptime 50% average and in solo is like 80% avg xD

[zealous wing]

skissue detected

[ornate hamlet]

They made chain blessings a bit more generous a while ago

[stiff cosmos]

but really between quietude and shred i don't even need the toughness regen on weakspot hits because crits do the heavy lifting

[ornate hamlet]

But yeah, that was one of the reasons not to use shred in the past

[steel flame]

the fuck, since when did block cancel make shred keep chaining

[zealous wing]

definitely longer than 4 months

[steel flame]

well shit, fuck you precog, you outta here

[zealous wing]

[steel flame]

i blame it on my hibernation from dt for a few months

[ornate hamlet]

I wonder how my FGS would go with riposte and shred now, since part of me using blazing spirit was to proc souldrinker

[zealous wing]

also, shred means i can attack things without NEEDING to dodge something first, ie, something attacking someone else, like a monster, a captain, crusher pack, etc

[ornate hamlet]

And because psyker didn't have silly damage reduction before the recent rework

[spice aurora]

If you have to solo clutch a lot then precog is cool cuz you can have 50%+ uptime even tho it only lasts 2 sec but otherwise ur uptime will suck even when you need it imo in a full team xD

[ornate hamlet]

Now that apparently I can just eat overheads, uhhh

Might as well try double crit blessings

[steel flame]

yeah i was still using riposte for crit but if block cancel lets shred keep going

fuck me i guess

[zealous wing]

blazing spirit on melee is 100% a noob trap, never do it unless you're intentionally memeing

[ornate hamlet]

It was for souldrinker's regen

[zealous wing]

not worth it

[ornate hamlet]

Didn't ask

[spice aurora]

Do 5-10 games each and check ur uptime with shred vs riposte, or better yet you can record the gameplay and scroll to where shit gets bad and check manually your buff uptime (to exclude times where its up / down but dont need it)

[zealous wing]

besides, just go play with an inferno psyker while you run souldrinker, get procs off their fire

[ornate hamlet]

I remember this one game I just kept killing and pushing the hordes and I wasn't proccing the damn riposte

[stiff cosmos]

[zealous wing]

take off bcob, grab warp unbound

switch quietude to warp expendature if melee heavy build

[steel flame]

here have a build https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00aa358-26ff-4d52-91ba-559682ebd0e9/zazys-blazing-spirit-greatsword-unga-bunga-experience

[ornate hamlet]

I don't remember if I had wildfire when using the blazing greatsword, but I remember my toughness regen being arbiter-tier on hordes

I'd just, as the wise men say, unga bunga the horde

[plucky flax]

I use shred cos bad and can't dodge

[wraith sphinx]

le shred

[stiff cosmos]

wait you're so right my scrier's is only on cd for 10 seconds anyway

[steel flame]

all the 4 heads are too scared of the no capstone to actually try it so i gotta spread it around

[spice aurora]

Or shred and riposte 😈

[zinc phoenix]

Simply select wall + wall upgrades and you are done with the build

[ornate hamlet]

Ah damn, this reminds me I had taken a screenshot of an elite pack on a ramp and my screen was basically crusher armor and green shit

[stiff cosmos]

although bcob + quietude is a massive part of my toughness regen and my scrier uptime

[ornate hamlet]

I was just swinging and hoping something died

[zealous wing]

because you are actively denying damage, but, you can suffer on your own over there

[stiff cosmos]

how do you even keep scriers up for the full finesse bonus without bcob as melee?

[zealous wing]

dont worry about keeping it active, literally just kill shit. thats how

[steel flame]

you keep saying that but the numbers keep saying youre full of shit

[zealous wing]

free damage, sitting right there

[steel flame]

when you bother to actually try the build, let me know

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-magic-spell-gif-2056698596529947774

brain burst

even gets the cast time right

[zealous wing]

do you run scoreboard?

[steel flame]

uh huh

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-nuh-no-cat-shake-head-gif-17947965065247170515

[zealous wing]

do you run the ovenproof patch, or the out of date one

[steel flame]

the new one

[stiff cosmos]

so like you don't even run the DD quell talent i'm guessing

[zealous wing]

no

[stiff cosmos]

where should I even put these two points

warp ghost?

[steel flame]

warp ghost good

[stiff cosmos]

i'm feeling warp ghost and just a dream

or anticipation, one of the two

[zealous wing]

also no, i think ill keep my blazing trauma and bosskilling builds separated and strong, rather than half ass merging them

too many variables to test anyway, it'd have to be a true solo run

[steel flame]

seems to work just fine for me

step outta the box once in awhile

[zealous wing]

for what difficulty? and, thats a loss, so im presuming the other 3 died first, allowing you to get more kills

as in, more than you would normally run

1k kills on melee main when everyone else is 500 or less just implies clutch (or failed in this case, which, happens)

[steel flame]

auric and auric maelstrom, its fine for certain havoc 40 modifiers but rotten armor hurts it pretty bad

[zealous wing]

its just not a reliable marker

[stiff cosmos]

the build itself does mention "not recommended for havoc" but i can see how this would rip some aurics in half

[zealous wing]

as i said, it would HAVE to be run in true solo to properly be tested

FGS alone rips aurics in half

[stiff cosmos]

this is true

[zealous wing]

i get my level 10 psyker an FGS and suddenly i kick ass, the sword just is that way

[stiff cosmos]

the main selling point seems to just be the ability to tank literally anything that isn't a oneshot, so, overheads

[steel flame]

you would think, but none of those matches were clutch games, just normal numbers. it tends to smother most of the map before anyone else gets to kill anything

[stiff cosmos]

which is funny but

[zealous wing]

everyone died here

no one got a rescue

[steel flame]

so what do you want then for a true solo?

not my version of fun but whatever

also fuck you discord, stop glitching out

[stiff cosmos]

say what's the curio breakpoint for full uptime on scriers, do i need cdr on all 3?

[zealous wing]

you can, i dont

[spice aurora]

How does dmg resist work (not TDR, just normal DR)

Like for 25% DR

is it 50 dmg / 1.25, or is it 50 dmg x 0.75

[zealous wing]

it depends how much you kill/ your teammates kill

i believe i have 2 CDR

[stiff cosmos]

swap one for revive speed then

i forgot how fucking slow the base revive speed is

[zealous wing]

i run 3x revive as well, but yeah

my curios are very tuned for my playstyle

[ripe obsidian]

wtf are you on about

[steel flame]

ugh, guess i need a mod for true solo, god i hate fatshark

[zealous wing]

zazy wants people to think blazing spirit on FGS is good, while also running shriek PC wildfire

so theres no isolated data

so he should run a solo with blazing spirit

and without

[steel flame]

oh normal blazing spirit gs sucks ass, reason i had to make an entire build just to facilitate the fucking thing

[zealous wing]

if he wants to use his build and keep it the same otherwise

[spice aurora]

Doesn’t rly matter what you run if you have PC on when soloing tho, everything gon die xD

[zealous wing]

then its not facilitated

[ripe obsidian]

Run melee blazing spirit if you want. I don't really care. But it's not a good blessing. Most enemies just die rather than ignite, and the fire check comes after they're already dead in the code, so no wildfire either.

[zealous wing]

its a really shit blessing, you can say it six

[ripe obsidian]

But psyker keystones are insanely strong. Not picking them is not a good choice.

[zealous wing]

if only we could do blazing spirit on a force knife instead of bleed. that would be fun for a suipsyker build ngl

[stiff cosmos]

zealots hogging all the knife builds

[zealous wing]

well no

knife is still fun vibe when running suipsyker

[stiff cosmos]

actually i guess hive scum has two knife build now

that's twice the crackhead energy

[zealous wing]

but it doesnt gen peril, a good mobility tool to gen peril besides laspistol would be great

[steel flame]

At least today wasn't all a lost cause, didn't realize shred finally became useful on fgs. Will have to test that out in the build tonight

[ripe obsidian]

apropos of nothing

[stiff cosmos]

join auric mael to try new build
spawn in dead, switch pov to an ogryn slapping a dog to death
ogryn dies 2 seconds later to a trapper+crusher behind him

it's so peak

[plucky flax]

RPG vs frag bomb moment

[spice aurora]

Ogryn in shambles

[still merlin]

So Im following the build guides now but dont see any masteries/blessings especially for blaze force 1h? Any recommendations there for my inferno bubble build?

[jagged phoenix]

Ngl I think the trauma staff is mid

[zinc rain]

[ripe obsidian]

if I didn't put that in yet, then Uncanny always

And then Superiority for more offense or Deflector for more defense.

Typically maniac + carapace for perks

[still merlin]

Awesome appreciate it 🙂

Those perks for both Melee + Staff?

[steel flame]

It's still weird seeing superiority in recommendations after years of it gathering dust in a corner

[ripe obsidian]

Staff should be flak + crit or flak + unyielding. That should be in there.

At the top of the firestick section

[thorn cedar]

It did get quite the glow up for buffs tbf

Didn't used to drop stacks one at a time and I think the stacks were weaker too.

[still merlin]

I got a staff with 66% WR and 74% on Cloud Radius safe to consecrate and empower or keep going for only WR

[ripe obsidian]

It's particularly useful for Rotten Armor.

Otherwise I barely use it.

[ripe obsidian]

Better to get only WR dumped. If you're new to the class or short on materials, just keep the one you have

[still merlin]

Gotcha, I only have one with QS similar

Any preference on keeping the QS one vs the CR one?

I am new and short on materials so Ill only be able to just go for one I guess

[ripe obsidian]

In my experience, 60% quell speed is approximately equivalent to low 40% warp resist in overall time spent casting versus quelling

[plucky flax]

Bruh moment

[low merlin]

This build is actual peak.

I'm using it with my own improvements of course.

[stiff cosmos]

what psyker build is this

[low merlin]

Not one I've ever seen before.

Did they update Psyker to give them a needle pistol?

[plucky flax]

Needle guns are actually decently rare in the 40K universe. I wonder where the Hive Scum got theirs?

I've psychically cleaned No Man's Land.

Bistol is lowk underrated on Psyker.

[steel flame]

What changes did you make? My curiosity is piqued

[low merlin]

I swapped out the Laspistol for Bistol, and for the Curios they're still all toughness boosting, but the perks are +4% combat ability regeneration, +12 stamina regeneration, and +20% gunner damage resistance.

The talent tree is still identical, though.

[steel flame]

How's it feeling. Went all in on unga bunga and tankiness

[low merlin]

I love it.

[steel flame]

I might be swapping riposte out for shred, Didnt realise block cancel doesn't break stacks anymore

[ornate hamlet]

car

[low merlin]

Indeed.

[steel flame]

@low merlin What wr do you have on your fgs, I'm still working out how much wr you can have before it doesn't quite work anymore. I'm still hovering on 40 being the ceiling

[low merlin]

Idk

[distant lark]

does the electricution for the force wall proc smite's enfeeble, as its also a source of that staus effect?

Damn smite really lacks synergy it should have, enfeeble just mentions electrocution which would on the surface make sense if other sources did the effect

[steel flame]

Sorry, what warp resist stat on the Great sword

I defaulted to acronyms

[low merlin]

I know what you were talking about, I just don't know.

I was in a mission.

What do y'all recommend to put on the Dueling Sword?

[deft stump]

Uncanny.

The other is what you want.

That thing is busted enough that all you really need is uncanny.

[low merlin]

Very well then.

[steel flame]

Mb

[deft stump]

Thrust if you VT2, Riposte if you like to dodge for crits, agile if you wanna braindead to no ends on the braindeadiest weapon.

[low merlin]

Very well then

[deft stump]

Also the best for on overwatch because inf dodge is hilarious.

[low merlin]

How good is Dueling Sword for CC?

[verbal thistle]

one of the worst

[low merlin]

What options do you suggest for CC without the Greatsword?

[verbal thistle]

Tactical axes and 1 hand force swords

[ripe obsidian]

@verbal thistle do you have any particular suggestions for playing Arby into rotten armor? I feel so weak against them. Just bonking away at waves of crushers and hoping my team helps me

[low merlin]

Which mark of FS?

[verbal thistle]

obscurus for single target, deimos for single and horde

[verbal thistle]

I hit them until they die

idk

do you have shock mines?

if so then dont

I run dog and it destroys rot

[ripe obsidian]

I also hit them until they die. And I do have shock mines.

In that last game, I had both twins and a billion rot enemies on me. I survived backtracking for like 3 full minutes until one of the hyperstacked crushers managed to land an overhead on me

Almost killed the melee twin.

[low merlin]

What of Illisi?

[ripe obsidian]

It's a worse FGS

[low merlin]

Ahh

[ripe obsidian]

Share build pls.

[low merlin]

I was moreso referring to its single handed variant.

[ripe obsidian]

I am not sure how I feel about Suppression Protocols over Suppression Force

I spend so much time focusing elites that I end up with like 30% uptime

[nocturne wasp]

WILL YOU HELP ME CREATE THE COUNCIL OF STEVES?!?!

[low merlin]

Sure

[nocturne wasp]

🎉

[low merlin]

[nocturne wasp]

I've never made a discord server before so it's literally just general, I have no clue what I'm doing

[low merlin]

It's all good

[steel flame]

Very based of darktide server to add caiphus cain emoji

[nocturne wasp]

Anywho wanna play some darktide?

[low merlin]

Hell yeah

[steel flame]

If only I wasnt at work

[spice aurora]

@ripe obsidian can you update my build on the psyker thing I changed the name and added my scrier’s variant cuz ppl asked me to (all on the same link / write up) xD

[ripe obsidian]

I can do this thing

[ripe obsidian]

I have done this thing.

[steel flame]

@low merlin lemme know if you find any good tweaks for the build. Decent feedback is in rare supply

[ripe obsidian]

:(

[desert tapir]

Are these builds still up to date?

[steel flame]

Other than stick a capstone on it xP

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

If you scroll to the very bottom of the guide, I have a changelog

So you can see when I have made modifications

[steel flame]

Turned into a glass cannon build every time I experimented dropping points to reach down to cap stones, already have enough glass cannon builds

[ripe obsidian]

If you give me a build, I can test it and give honest feedback. Later today, at least.

And I can add things to the bonanza if you want.

I try to incorporate everyone's builds. I am not the arbiter of what is and isn't viable.

[desert tapir]

Thanks

[low merlin]

Aight then.

[steel flame]

It wasn't aimed at you btw, hexis and co were heckling me over it earlier

I might be swapping riposte out for shred, didn't notice it got buffed so block cancel doesnt drop stacked anymore

I'm also fully aware that blazing spirit is suboptimal, which is half the fun of making a build using it that works

[ripe obsidian]

I can add it when I get home.

Add it to the melee section or?

[steel flame]

Well it's meant to be a melee only build with pistol for ranged boss damage or triggering empathic to close in wide open spaces, But I also made it as a melee build that does more ranged/soulblaze damage than melee damage so I dunno

Ends up being a hybrid

[graceful blade]

I'm learning fgs mk6 rn, I get the lmb lmb block cancel but are you supposed to spam the stab heavy on single target? if yes, what's the actual combo? light-heavy block cancel or is there something better?

[steel flame]

FYI, warp slice also combos directly into heavy stab which is nice setup.

I'm gonna be real though I don't actually know the optimal heavy combo in words, i mostly go off feel for it

[graceful blade]

yeah I tend to spam heavies but I don't feel like it's the optimal combo

[steel flame]

Ill let the math wizards answer that one

[ripe obsidian]

Afaik spam heavies is the best for single target. Smiter damage profile into heavy stab damage profile. Both have 0.7 carapace ADMs, which is fantastic.

[graceful blade]

oh okay that's good to know thanks!

[tiny tartan]

Just did a game where my disrupt destiny just

Didn't work?

Didn't highlight anything

[wooden sand]

What are yall insane folks opinions on a electrical aggressive high peril build

Actually I should call a insane person right now

@deft stump

[spice aurora]

Thx xD

[ripe obsidian]

Elaborate

[marble crater]

Obviously talking about Smite

It's electrical and it makes me aggressive and want to peril

[wooden sand]

I made a build focused on keeping your peril at dangerous levels to get plus damage and damage resistance from tree perks

Also uses the shock maul with a blessing that deals more damage to electrified enemies because smite has a skill that makes your heavy attacks apply electric damage

And so far it kills things

Very quick

[spice aurora]

Looking for input from psykers who put degenerate amounts of hrs in game like me to read my essay at bottom of build and just lemme know ur thoughts (agree, disagree, etc)

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0a667cd-4d49-4f68-8cf8-2f1ee57eab29/melee-with-walls-or-scriers-havoc-40-focus

[ripe obsidian]

Most Psyker builds at higher difficulties assume you will be at 60% or higher peril all the time

[stiff cosmos]

turning down the peril SFX was a major quality of life to that end

albeit at the loss of my deep immersion as an average unsanctioned psyker

[wooden sand]

I didn't said that the high peril part was entirely original

[ripe obsidian]

Not arguing that. Just saying.

It's actually one of my big issues with Psyker as a class.

[heavy dagger]

all my curios are like this, what should i change?

its a inferno shriek build

[patent jacinth]

I'd drop cdr for stam regen or gunners resistance

[heavy dagger]

thx

[quaint lark]

why is 16% Toughtness?

[marble crater]

Because unlucky I guess

[stiff cosmos]

440 hours in this game and I think I have like 2 or 3 17% toughness curios across all my slots

they just suck to find

[marble crater]

You find them by gambling at Melks

[steel flame]

We were so close to getting rid of gamba

[steel flame]

I only have 6 after 1.7k

Not that I really hunted for more but yeah they suck to find

[hardy coral]

Does Empowered Psionics not effect Charged Strike? It seems too inconsistent to really be worth it if it does.

[viscid matrix]

If not doing havocs, swap in curio reward, so you have more rolls at 17% tough

[deft stump]

WDYM?

[wooden sand]

You are awalys talking in pysker chat

[deft stump]

I'm a Loose Cannon, not Insane.

[wooden sand]

And oh yeah, you run 3 stamina curios

[burnt frigate]

Did they ghetto-nerf the inferno staff server side?

[deft stump]

On 3 classes, Psyker, Oggy and Ganger.

[wooden sand]

Pain

[deft stump]

Oi, Ganger is legit.

[wooden sand]

Ogryn doesn't need that amount of stamina

Ganger doesn't need 3 stamina

Just 2 or 1

[deft stump]

I know, is funni bonk though.

[deft stump]

All in into hedchoppa fast.

[wooden sand]

This is literally like running 3 wound curios

You are just hurting yourself

[deft stump]

I'm still never first to die in heresy.

[wooden sand]

Thank the lord that you don't die on Heresy

Imagine if you did

[deft stump]

I run +9 stam on psyker, WDYM?

Also, KD.

And Deflector.

[wooden sand]

That's what I just said

Dumb dumb

[deft stump]

You said oggy.

[wooden sand]

I meant in general

I bet you once miscliked have reacted to yourself

I bet

[spice oar]

It used to but they patched it out

Sad times

[zealous wing]

it was a bug that it did

and again, charged strike does not apply enfeeble

[steel flame]

When?

[zealous wing]

#psyker-class message

[plucky flax]

Always carry

[boreal steppe]

New idea
To improve psykers balance
Lets slow them down
Make em a bit tankier
Larger too
And the psychic shenanigans are a bit much so lets remove them
And since they’re bigger, they’ll need new guns only for big boys

This idea is completely original and has no inspirations at all

[tardy tiger]

Quick question for just a dream, if i take an overhead from a mauler at 96 peril, will that damage be reduce by 25% or just 1 peril worth of damage?

[deft stump]

I do not. Also, tomorrow?

[plucky flax]

Yeah back at work so around 5pm my time. Well try to get it done fast cos I want to go gym after

[deft stump]

Ah. UnsanctionedPsyker hard carry?

[plucky flax]

Who else?

Burga shriek spam and call it a day

Laptop gaming too

[deft stump]

What happened?

[plucky flax]

Im at work away from home

So on laptop its normal

[deft stump]

Oh.

I thought you wanna wait for home.

[craggy pebble]

Electrokinetic Staff

[zealous wing]

what about it

[craggy pebble]

Just like the way it looks typed out

lol

[zealous wing]

fair enough
