psyker-class

[hardy citrus]

are you doing a heavy in there right?

having played with bcob and without, it feels so much better without

with bcob u just blast ur peril away so fucking fast

[zealous wing]

no

i dont use the heavy after l3 often

[frail tapir]

I'll give it a try

[hardy citrus]

u want high peril because over 80 peril maxes out warp rider and i assume it also maxes out ur cleave from that other node

[zealous wing]

not quite but its still +80% cleave

[hearty wolf]

is it too l,ate

[hardy citrus]

interesting that they use different values

[zealous wing]

plus it activates max unstable power

[hexed cape]

just starting psyker but i wanna do assail stuff and this looks like it gets everything that would boost it?

[hearty wolf]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I was taking a POO

[zealous wing]

tbf, warp rider is +20% while splitting is +100%

[hardy citrus]

yeah but that's raw damage vs cleave

idk

[ripe obsidian]

we all died

[zealous wing]

well uh

[plucky flax]

Bruh moment when shivs don't have deflector

[hexed cape]

i know "i wanna assail" isnt a build

[zealous wing]

its a choice

[buoyant maple]

warp rider and peril cleave are both linear scale from 0 to 100 peril

[hardy citrus]

oh are they?

i thought warp rider hit 20% at 80 peril

[zealous wing]

it does

@ripe obsidian NERD

[ripe obsidian]

It doesn't

[zealous wing]

YOU SAID IT DID

[buoyant maple]

no, only at 100%

[ripe obsidian]

A while ago, yeah

[zealous wing]

unstable power i know does cap at 80

[ripe obsidian]

@hearty wolf log in

:(

[hearty wolf]

OK

[buoyant maple]

ur thinking of unstable power

[ripe obsidian]

Ask to play then don't log in

[hearty wolf]

I OTW

[zealous wing]

smh

irresponsible gamer

pings for game, not just asks, PINGS

for SHAME!

[ripe obsidian]

I thought my build was EK LMB

it was

voidblast

this explains much

[zealous wing]

lol

[hearty wolf]

I am a dodge tank btw

[zealous wing]

[hearty wolf]

But you won't see me

[zealous wing]

fuckin GOOBER

not as bad as me bringing the wrong knife

but fuckin funny

[ripe obsidian]

I was like, why is my damage output so low?

What's going on?

[zealous wing]

they should make EK projectiles a different colour than traumas, and VS's different as well tbh

all three are the same

SPEAKING OF

one is trauma, one is voidestrike

fatshark

PLEASE

[hardy citrus]

seems simple enough

[zealous wing]

yeah but which ones which

hmm?

[hardy citrus]

well I've never used either

so

you could show me two entirely distinct pictures and iw ouldnt be able to tell u

[zealous wing]

i just dont

understand their idea here

[hardy citrus]

i mean

whilst yes it's stupid

does it matter?

[zealous wing]

it bothers

[hardy citrus]

take me with u

[white sky]

There's 700 things they should fix before that I'm ngl

[hardy citrus]

pugs make me want to shoot myself

[hardy citrus]

first things first, delete rotten

[zealous wing]

idk rot feels fine

[hardy citrus]

rotten is aids

[zealous wing]

a lil bullshitty

[hardy citrus]

it's incredibly unfun

[zealous wing]

its the same way you deal with a CIVI mael

[hardy citrus]

It also does like 3 things at once

[white sky]

I'm not even talking about subjective stuff I'm ngl

[hardy citrus]

CIVI?

[zealous wing]

meleespam maelstrom

[hardy citrus]

I mean rotten itself could be fine but dont make it apply to fucking everything and be such a huge damage number AND increase armour spawns

oh scab melee only?

[zealous wing]

crushers, maulers, ragers, bulwarks

some ranged scattered about

no ammo drops

[hardy citrus]

yeah but they dont have havoc hp numbers or huge damage reduc

[zealous wing]

meh

[hardy citrus]

scab melee only is fun

[zealous wing]

the DR decreases as they lose hp, and DoT isnt affected

[buoyant maple]

they shud make dot affected and melee unaffected

[hardy citrus]

^

[zealous wing]

this i do agree

let me stab them freely

especially since they made the sound more fun

[hardy citrus]

i like the sound rotten enemies make yep

[zealous wing]

they should probably have made it a mael modifier before trying it in havoc tho

it was already an event so it shouldnt have been too hard to implement that way

[hardy citrus]

i mean in the event it was ranged only rioght

the dr i mean

[zealous wing]

yeah but the DR stopped decreasing at 80%

also it was more iirc?

it was very early in my playtime

[hardy citrus]

bro make them fucking immune to ranged damage for all i care just dont make it also turn melee off 😭

[zealous wing]

that would actually be hilarious

make arby brittle shotgun useless

[frail tapir]

alright yeah I prefer BCoB

you do stay at higher peril without it, but that means you barely get to use psyker powers, which is the entire point. I may joke about making my psyker build just Zealot with FGS, but if I was wanting to basically not engage with the peril system I would actually just go play zealot

[zealous wing]

scriers, warp unbound

[hardy citrus]

yeah scriers

[zealous wing]

11.5s infinite casting

5s or less waiting for cooldown, pop again

[hardy citrus]

even without it you can weave an assail throw or two into your melee clear to keep ur malefic up

[frail tapir]

ok I do not find scriers coming off cooldown that frequently

[thorn geyser]

ok is psyker worth maxing

[zealous wing]

do you have psykinetics aura

[thorn geyser]

im very new

[zealous wing]

yes

[hardy citrus]

scriers only has like a 14 second downtime even before cooldown reduction

[buoyant maple]

op best class

[frail tapir]

I have like all the main things

[thorn geyser]

i got the little needles and their fucking lethal

[buoyant maple]

too op actually

[frail tapir]

not really and who cares is pve game

[buoyant maple]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1075782743285301308/1448329868491100252/supra.gif

[patent jacinth]

Just because its pve doesn't mean balance is irrelevant

its such a dumb take

The game wouldn't be fun if you could w+m1 everything

[ripe obsidian]

okay request to join

we have a free slot

[hardy citrus]

this is such a braindead take

[hardy citrus]

what server are you on

[ripe obsidian]

EU for those two

[hardy citrus]

HUGE

1 sec

[ripe obsidian]

I am NA, so I am lagging

[hardy citrus]

i am not na so i will not be lagging

[frail tapir]

?

tell me, what is point of video game

[hardy citrus]

saying balance doesnt matter in pve

is such a terrible terrible take

[frail tapir]

I'm not saying it doesn't matter, I'm saying psyker is not powerful enough for it to matter

[hardy citrus]

yes they are

lol

[frail tapir]

the point of games is enjoyment. Is your experience genuinely being detracted from because of psyker?

[buoyant maple]

if psyker isn't op, who is

[buoyant maple]

ya

psyker / ranged hvs / rumbler spam og on team makes the game unfun

[frail tapir]

idk skill issue then I guess

[buoyant maple]

on ur part maybe

[frail tapir]

yeah maybe I'm having too much fun with the game

I should be complaining more

man I'm getting too heated srry bout that

people can have opinions

[buoyant maple]

that's ok

[frail tapir]

psyker could defintely be better balanced

[thorn geyser]

the emporer!

i named my psyker MrJohnChaos any opinions?

[buoyant maple]

it's ok to enjoy playing psyker / playing with psyker on team and also understand how broken psyker's kit is

[frail tapir]

perfect

[thorn geyser]

i havent got a solidified build yet def leaning towards peril maxing

if thats a thing

[hardy citrus]

thats every psyker build

[thorn geyser]

shit

[buoyant maple]

psyker build is simple u just "edge to the goon god" 24/7 and mog everything

[thorn geyser]

i havent done much with buildcraft in this game yet but im sure i will the firther i get

[hardy citrus]

LOL

[buoyant maple]

there are many ways u can "edge to the goon god"

but the end goal is the same

[thorn geyser]

what is edging if you dont let it fly every once in awhile. hence why i suicide bomb sometimes

call me socrates

what ranged do yall use

i want to like tje staff but i dont

[buoyant maple]

ur not edging enough if u blow up

[thorn geyser]

sometimes blowing up is fun

thats what im sayin

it gives the edge meaning

[zealous wing]

reconlas, voidblast, ek surge surge

vraks infauto

[buoyant maple]

electrokinetic, inferno, voidblast, vraks mk5 infantry autogun, recon lasgun mk6c / mk12, laspistol mk2

[thorn geyser]

i see i see

this has been very informative

[zealous wing]

there is a guide in the pins

bonanza

[foggy shoal]

revolver good for melee/gunker?

[plucky flax]

I have to go bed gg

[ripe obsidian]

Seeya

[hearty wolf]

Gg was really fun

[plucky flax]

Range scum moment

[hardy citrus]

gg

that was good

yous were moving so fast I kept almost getting left behind

[plucky flax]

Just run to enemies shooters and ee spam

[hearty wolf]

wait

was that you

[hardy citrus]

im not used to teams that can do that

yes

[hearty wolf]

LOL

I didn't know

[ripe obsidian]

I has having some really severe frame hitching

Things kept freezing for like 0.2 seconds, then the map state was different

[hearty wolf]

Idk if you can tell but I just run past (kill everything directly in my way) and then get behind the gunners and bulwarks

makes them a joke

Or I kill the bulwarks by pushing them into you then walking behind them

[hardy citrus]

getting behind the bulwarks is good yeah

i fucking hate bulwarks

[hardy citrus]

yeah that was fast though

[ripe obsidian]

I went down 3 times. Fuck.

[hearty wolf]

35m for consignment yard when we almost had 2 wipes

[hardy citrus]

I only sandbagged a little

[hearty wolf]

I actually made a sound when you went down to a crusher overhead after one of the med stations

the part where you go down the stairs towards the toilets

[ripe obsidian]

I was 100% sure I dodged that

[hardy citrus]

I should've mentioned i was running for a piss first, I would've taken even less damage

[hearty wolf]

I thought you did as well but the solo crusher kill did some mental damage

[hearty wolf]

Yeah ngl I'm pretty sure I can hold you for at least 60 seconds esp with rockets

[hardy citrus]

bluetooth crusher overheads

[hearty wolf]

We did really poor with nades that run

[hardy citrus]

I thought i'd be faster tbh

[ripe obsidian]

I played poorly, compounded by my PC being weird since I updated drivers and 100 higher ping than usual. But it was honestly not great play from me even before those issues

[hearty wolf]

Agent and I both spammed and then went for the same tin (I did call it but I was gonna run back to the further one before I realised Agent was also using rockets)

we wasted about 16 rockets lmao

[hearty wolf]

I'm getting some weird frame hitching thing too but it's on my second mnitor

It's like

idk

[hardy citrus]

I got some weird frame hitching in league today

never had it before

darktide has been ok

[hearty wolf]

PC 2 when?

[hearty wolf]

ooooo

Was in EU?

[hardy citrus]

are u NAE or NAW?

[ripe obsidian]

I am NAE, technically. More central. But that was the EU server

So like 60 ping to 160

[hardy citrus]

I mean I think it's generally not too bad?

I've played on NAW and NAE with ainz a bit

I find it's ok once I get used to it

[ripe obsidian]

Like I said, I was being a doofus even before accounting for ping

[frozen zephyr]

I have wierd bug, I have the right tree crit psyker build and its only going in game with brain burst venting shriek

[hearty wolf]

It does make a really, really big difference for me

[hardy citrus]

have you unlocked assail?

[frozen zephyr]

I'm level 30

[hardy citrus]

if you've not selected anything it'll turn everything in the tree above it off

[frozen zephyr]

I have a video

[hardy citrus]

yes but have you selected it

[frozen zephyr]

yes

[hardy citrus]

not sure then

[hardy citrus]

maybe try restting game or delete the uh

delete the loadout and recreate it

u should swap by crack of bone for maleific momentum too probably

[plucky flax]

Laptop gamer?

[frozen zephyr]

yes

I bought it for my travelling job

[plucky flax]

Me too I play on laptop sometimes its so ass

But i travel a lot

I need a permanent wfh job

[ripe obsidian]

It makes a difference for things like dodging and slow projectiles, mostly

[frozen zephyr]

game restart fixed it

[hardy citrus]

turn it off, turn it on again.

true classic.

[hearty wolf]

I really should record my gameplay but it's constant split second decisions since I get surrounded all the time

Failure to keep track of anything means you just die. The hardest thing is rampage's timer

Oh wait Syllo linked me a mod for that

I was looking at it but didn't install it yet

[ripe obsidian]

It was also the curse of playing with someone new. Every single time I play with someone I haven't before, I play worse.

[ripe obsidian]

H40 with 2 psykers and 2 scum is going to be 100% split second decisions

No defense and pretty limited CC, since it was mostly my Trauma + Shriek, and only on non-red enemies

[hardy citrus]

well

I was playing melee

and I feel like melee ends up pretty tanky

but yeah, not a lot of teamwide utility there

[hardy citrus]

I feel like playing with someone new u always wanna play well so u don't just look like ur sandbagging

[ripe obsidian]

Still a first attempt win

[hardy citrus]

yeah that was a good run

i feel like we pretty much steamrolled it

[ripe obsidian]

I picked Trauma to try to offer us some CC, but I didn't account for everything dying before I could charge RMB, ha

[hardy citrus]

2 psyker 2 scum has an abundance of a single thing

[ripe obsidian]

Sin and Agent are both consistently very good players

[hearty wolf]

I'm usually pretty dogshit but that game was something else

[hardy citrus]

I do alright for myself I think

[hearty wolf]

I think changing to the rpg fixed my problems

i.e I don't give a shit about pathing or where I am

[ripe obsidian]

You did fine.

[ripe obsidian]

RPG is unmatched in resolving immediate problems

[hearty wolf]

Yeah there was a lot of thinking about where you were and what you were doing versus what I should be doing

[hardy citrus]

i was just tryna keep up

[hearty wolf]

I do have movement speed on those stimms fyi xd

[hardy citrus]

I'm used to normal teams being incredibly slow and taking ages to start moving after hordes and events

but you guys were just plowing forward

[hearty wolf]

I can't do this anymore mentally

I legit fail all my games outside premades

[hardy citrus]

it's kinda painful

i mean generally i think pugs have bad winrates

[ripe obsidian]

Isn't it nice for that to be the problem instead of people being too slow?

[hardy citrus]

I wanna hit assignment 40 so I can just absolutely plow through shjit and not give a single fuck if i fail

[hardy citrus]

I mean, in this case I was the person being too slow

regardless it's a good problem to havbe

[hearty wolf]

I mean I did used to literally win all my games but the way to go about it is always some form of CC or support ability

[ripe obsidian]

Your speed was fine

[hearty wolf]

i.e nuncio

[ripe obsidian]

I mean 50+ minute slow

[ripe obsidian]

What are you now?

[hardy citrus]

33

[ripe obsidian]

Not too far

[hardy citrus]

nah

but ive been there for weeks

i get to 35 then drop to 30 and repeat

it'd probably go faster if I stopped qing exclusively for 40's more or less

but not gonna do that

best way to improve

[hearty wolf]

Its draw speed is kinda shit but the only thing i can't save you from is an armour wall

which I now have a solution to

Also the uhh

Weakspot damage I have now

instead of poison melee

[pure plinth]

i have a feeling rotten armor artificially inflates the win/lose rate

[hearty wolf]

it's boosting hypercritial+hyper violence damage a lot

and makes killing crushers possible

[pure plinth]

but its repetitive and attention-grindingly boring to constantly play it

so i might not be right

[hearty wolf]

It's one of those things where you just need to adapt but peeps don't wanna

[hardy citrus]

rotten armour makes me loose more because after a while I get bored and start shutting down

[hearty wolf]

I kinda wish they didn't explode into a cloud

it offers nothing and just worsens visibility

[hardy citrus]

I typically either use flamer zealot or krak vet, but im planning to try frag vet when im next forced to play rotten

[hardy citrus]

yeah this is annoying

idk, this si part of why i hate rotten

it messes my timings up on normal crushers

[pure plinth]

ah more dot spam

[hardy citrus]

only way to handle rotten

only way that doesn't make me want to eat an overhead irl*

[pure plinth]

"Ah you think DOT spam is your ally? You merely adopted the DOT. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the DPS until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but DOT!"

[acoustic jacinth]

are ethereal shards doing much for you when you already have warp splitting?

[hearty wolf]

Goo is really dogshit with the way I play unfortunately

so I have to "adapt" my build or just afk

neither of which I want to do

[hardy citrus]

goo mandates a crate scum or beacon zealot

[hearty wolf]

I don't think beacon zealot would be enough anymore because of how aggro I have been lately

[hardy citrus]

yeah beacon doesnt help if ur sitting in goo

[hearty wolf]

I tried using the stimm clears corruption on kill on scum and that was dogshit xd

[hardy citrus]

it just means u dont need to worry if u touch it

[hearty wolf]

yeye

There's enough shit on the ground to look at

That's my other role in that comp

[ripe obsidian]

Told you!

[hearty wolf]

To kill anything that falls on the floor from voidblast before it fucks people

[acoustic jacinth]

waddya think about this?

[acoustic jacinth]

^

[hearty wolf]

(he meant this)

[acoustic jacinth]

immaculate timing

my weathered fingers took a moment

fighting games AND darktide are unhealthy to my hands

[jovial juniper]

Not really

Base Assail will hit 2 targets

Ethereal Shard makes it 3

Warp Splitting makes it 3 with the slightest amount of peril

[acoustic jacinth]

i was more curious about if it had a scenario where they were uhh.. additive? to each other

but on psykhanium i cant tell

im doing the same with warp splitting and warp splitting + ethereal

[jovial juniper]

There's an EP Warp Splitting Ethereal

It's like

13 targets total

We used to have a table for that

[acoustic jacinth]

hm, oh well this was just out of curiosity really. since i was running a shriek EK build before with an assail variation and i had a free point

but that's better spent in malefic momentum anyways

and well KF BB is superior but funny build so i dont get bored

[ripe obsidian]

Kuli's guide has a chart about Assail cleave

[hexed cape]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f0b973a-8a7e-4694-8b9e-b434a6b1ed5d/bb-endgame

does this setup still work? blaze force greatsword sounds like my dream weapon for the attack combos

[ripe obsidian]

I think the Assail cleave node is fine to pick, but not particularly great

There are both better and worse uses for the point

[ripe obsidian]

I forget how I got to H40 this time. I think support Arby from 30-37 b/c wildfire was crashing on DHs, then Shriek + Inferno for 38-40

[hardy citrus]

i mean if i played exclusively with pres i think it'd be easy

but randoms are a mixed bag

[ripe obsidian]

It was randoms for me

Just good luck I guess

[hardy citrus]

nobody accepts my psyker

idk why tbh

i have no issue on vet or zealot

i guess my builds on both are more mainstream though

[ripe obsidian]

Psyker is too strong when played well, and a lot of people play poorly and just die

[hardy citrus]

yeah

it's a shame because meleeker is really fun

[hexed cape]

bfgs looks fun af

[hardy citrus]

i have no particular attachment to fgs

I honestly probably prefer the regular force swords too

but it's the combination

there's a LOT of melee weapons i prefer over fgs tbh

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah. Reading through it all it is indeed 1 target cleave difference. 4-5 iirc. Anyhow, it's a weird build to begin with xd, i know that assail with shriek EK is worse for snowballing snowblaze cuz no KF

[hexed cape]

im starting a psyker up tonight. mostly like the bfgs cause of it's partitioned combos.

light spam for sweeping hordes, heavy for elites. tingles my brain right

no need to h1 l2 special h3 l4 special or some wacky moveset weaving

[hardy citrus]

most weapons in this game are incredibly easy to use

[acoustic jacinth]

Mk8 is more like that, mk6 fgs does have some tricks but not necessary

Like, qq repeat light 1 is exceptional horde clear

Its push followup is a dead horizontal light which is also really good

[hardy citrus]

pretty sure optimal horde clear is l1 l2 qq l1 l2

lol

i forget which mark it is

the one with the stab

[acoustic jacinth]

I believe it's just l1

But that's also fine

[hardy citrus]

it's probably faster with l1 but

like

you can macro it i guess

[acoustic jacinth]

To put it simply

With traditional l1 l2

The l2 is the one u looking for

Which is achieved via qq l1

But

Yes

Annoying

Which is why idgaf and i just l1 l2 bc l1 l2

[hardy citrus]

i just do like

l1-3 then block and keep swinging

it's not ideal

but fuck qq spam

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeahhh

[steel canopy]

does anybody know how much of a difference kinetic ressonance actually makes?

the 75% charge time reduction seems negligable to me

does anyone have actual numbers to compare?

[ripe obsidian]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3094028505

Numbers are in here

[steel canopy]

ty ty

so am i understanding this right, using brain rupture will give me a ten second buff that increases charge speed by 75% as well as the 50% reduction in peril generation?

[granite stratus]

Activating your ability gives you the buff

Venting shriek, telekine shield, or scrier's gaze

The buff is pretty substantial, as it lets you pick off a lot more enemies in a shorter amount of time

[foggy shoal]

shred vs riposte for force greatsword?

and am i supposed to be spamming assail after i hit 100 peril with scrier's gaze?

[acoustic jacinth]

Shred

Synergyzes with soyker better

[acoustic jacinth]

If the situation then calls for it. Like let's say you reached 100 and in front of you appear 7 shotgunners. But yeah high peril is optimal for casting in general

[ripe obsidian]

Preference. I like Shred.

[foggy shoal]

ok thanks guys

[acoustic jacinth]

Man. I really wish assail shriek EK worked as well as i'd want it to lmao. You think it's worth investing time into or should i just keep to old KF? I don't know if it can keep up once i start havoc runs again

[ripe obsidian]

I think Assail and Shriek kinda overlap in the horde clear and stagger role. One of the reasons I like Shriek is because it means I can use LMB EK and BB and not get overrun by hordes

And Assail just generates peril so quickly

You end up having to choose between EK or Assail for any given engagement

[marble crater]

Shriek my beloved

[acoustic jacinth]

Yes precisely my issue man

It's like

Shriek is already snowballing everything

All i need are a few gunner pops with m2

And killfeed explosion

Meanwhile shriek is just kinda there

And literally does the same thing

Just pierces more and does less damage lol

Well ill put the lid on that then, thanks

My spare point is just going to momentum for more fgs bonks

[mighty shuttle]

How important is the rending talent for inferno staff? I play full melee psyker FGS but I've been thinking about picking up a staff to get some utility in on the side. Since I have assail for ranged pick offs

[ripe obsidian]

Do not pick it for Inferno

[jovial juniper]

Not important

[ripe obsidian]

It's bad

[acoustic jacinth]

Uh oh inferno pots

TANNER HELLO

[mighty shuttle]

wait sorry

I had a severe brain fart there

[ripe obsidian]

I only pick PotS on Trauma

[acoustic jacinth]

🗣️

[mighty shuttle]

I meant voidblast

[acoustic jacinth]

Yess same

Yes

Voidblast pots is great

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, on Voidblast it's good

[mighty shuttle]

pots?

[restive slate]

Where's the femboi?

[ripe obsidian]

Voidblast RMB has 80% ADMs on Flak and Carapace

[acoustic jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-cat-gif-5858640239144030160

[ripe obsidian]

So you get full value from PotS

[mighty shuttle]

Is there ideal blessings for voidblast with melee psyker?

[ripe obsidian]

I think Ainz uses... Flurry and surge? Maybe?

His build is in the guide

[mighty shuttle]

Wait I saw PotS

[ripe obsidian]

Voidblast + SG

[mighty shuttle]

I don't have space for that in my build

I'm asking which staffs is reliant on Pots or not

[ripe obsidian]

Are you asking about PotS or Rending Shockwave?

No staff is reliant on PotS. PotS is good on Voidblast. It is not good on any other staff imo

[acoustic jacinth]

Surge on blast?

[mighty shuttle]

This is my build

I was thinking of picking up staff alongside my FGS

But I'm not sure what is complementary or bad fit depending on talent mix, I have limited insight on staffs overall

Since I kinda play Psyker like mini-zealot

[acoustic jacinth]

There's a bit to dissect here

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah i guessed with crack of bone

Thing is

If youre gonna do that

Go full meleeker

Trying to find weird middle ground always hurts

[ripe obsidian]

It's not a build I have used.

[acoustic jacinth]

Fair

I wouldnt tbh xd

I run what you run on guide

[mighty shuttle]

Fair enough, I just thinking "Huh, my secondary weapon has always been super negligible because I can alternate between melee FGS and assail. So maybe grabbing a staff that has a use case/niche for some utility could be good.

[ripe obsidian]

Ainz is one of those players who is good enough to make anything look OP

[acoustic jacinth]

Ye

I mean

Fatmangus

Is great build

[restive slate]

Even Voidstrike?

[acoustic jacinth]

But not innovation of the century

[acoustic jacinth]

Anything anything

I mean, he recently solod h40 with fatmangus (tank) zealot

Under 2 hours

[restive slate]

Darktide? More like a LightRipple

[acoustic jacinth]

So you must make the distinction of
Is build actually good
Or is ainz just doing his usual work with it

[ripe obsidian]

Ainz has a Voidstrike + flat shield H40 all-psyker run

So yeah

[mighty shuttle]

So something like voidblast might be nice to have on hand, or inferno for utility cases before I just go full meleesyker again

[acoustic jacinth]

[hexed cape]

psyker is rolled up. time to go level to 9 or whatever i need to unlock the weapons i wanna use

[restive slate]

Nerf Ainz to play with only keyboard

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah ur secondary on meleeker will boil down to picking at distant specials/gunners so more often than not it's pistol or surge EK if you wanna make it more fun

[mighty shuttle]

Mhm which I do often do with assail instead because of maelfic momentum

[acoustic jacinth]

Everthing else is actively screwing with your focus as meleeker

Because it's like

[mighty shuttle]

Fair, there's just been situations where I had to stay away from melee or set up a bit and thought "Hrm I wonder if having inferno suppress would be neat here."

But as I said, super niche

[acoustic jacinth]

"Oh i'm having fun with this x other thing" "but uh, my build would be fully working if i were to go back to what i was doing"

Yeah

Assail isnt the best at very long ranges and doesnt posses the quick target execution of say a bistol
Which is why they good choices

For meleeker that is

But at the end of the day the fun of experimental builds is seeing how far you can take them

If you don't start feeling pressured/annoyed and are doing well keep using it

Just know that randoms on havoc will be judgmental af of such builds unfortunately. Psyker nowadays is a roulette of "shield?!??!?!"

[hexed cape]

holy crap psyker is fragile

[steady pecan]

fragile but capable of dealing a shit ton of damage

[radiant frigate]

fragile perhaps, but in the words of the savant?
SUCH POWER
SUCH POWER

[marble crater]

As long as you deal damage and kill things you are immortal, ymmv

[steady pecan]

as long as the damage dealers are dead, who is going to hurt you?

[radiant frigate]

bursters

[marble crater]

My team

[steady pecan]

I mean at a certain point the psyker is really a stealth class

if you kill all the witnesses then who is going to report you

[hexed cape]

i feel like im dieing to a stiff breeze

[steady pecan]

need to take some toughness reduction perks to help with that

[mighty shuttle]

Ngl I feel more durable on psyker vs hivescum for some reason haha

[steady pecan]

fr

hive scum is super weak

[marble crater]

Which level are you?

[mighty shuttle]

They're quite frail in lot of ocntexts but monstrously strong damage blitz class

[hexed cape]

1 but im also on starting difficulty in basicly a level 1 mission. so like idk

[mighty shuttle]

Oh yeah that's absolutely expected

[marble crater]

Well

Leveling psyker is a pain, but there is a build in the pinned guide that makes it less painful, good luck

[hexed cape]

i just want me zshwoop zshwoop greatsword XP

[radiant frigate]

"oh boy this class is so squishy at level 1"

[hexed cape]

sush

[radiant frigate]

you're telling me others are tanky with zero talents?

[hexed cape]

i dont wanna hear it

yes

[marble crater]

Ogryn

[hexed cape]

ogryn and arbite can face tank shit level 1

[radiant frigate]

too late i already said it

[hexed cape]

hivescum is very fast

[marble crater]

smh

[radiant frigate]

ogryn and arbites are imperial propaganda

[hexed cape]

i havent played zealot or vet XP

[hardy citrus]

the difference is going to be minsicule

literally just base stats

[foggy shoal]

i feel like dodges have to be more on point when playing psyker coming from VoC vet

can't just replenish my whole toughness bar whenever i get a booboo

[hardy citrus]

play melee and generate insane toughness

[foggy shoal]

yeah i'm playing scrier's gaze right now

i find it more enjoyable than inferno

[hardy citrus]

i mean yeah

inferno isnt necessarily fun

just strong

i think inferno is ok to play

[foggy shoal]

yeah it's decent

[hardy citrus]

but it's not super interesting really

[foggy shoal]

satisfying, if nothing else

[hardy citrus]

yeah

i prefer flamer

less investment for it, very powerful and i get a big powerful melee to hit things over the head with

[foggy shoal]

im in love with the getsuga tenshou

[hardy citrus]

the big swing is more use than most weapon specials

so i have no complaints

[foggy shoal]

i've done up to auric maelstrom with scrier's gaze, but i've heard it's pretty difficult to execute well in high havoc

[hardy citrus]

ehhh

it's more work than other builds perhaps

but I dont think it's too too bad

[foggy shoal]

more micromanagement than inferno for sure

[acoustic jacinth]

What, force greatsword meleeker?

[foggy shoal]

yeah

[hardy citrus]

@ripe obsidian oh right, little oopsie I nearly had in our run earlier

If u listen closely, u can hear the irreparable damage i must've done to my F key there

[acoustic jacinth]

Fairly up there tbh. Don't underestimate the survivability and damage you achieve with 25 stacks of DD + SG

You've got tons of meleeker examples around if ur curious

[foggy shoal]

nice

i'm just using the intro to meleeker build in the pin

[acoustic jacinth]

Nice

[foggy shoal]

will probably tailor it more to my playstyle soon

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah

Pins guides are best spot for you to be picking stuff up from anyways

Way better than youtube/gameslantern

[foggy shoal]

i figured

was the same with veteran

pinned guide always > youtube

[acoustic jacinth]

Ye hammer of the emperor

Zealot has ainz's compendia

[foggy shoal]

all the class chats have been very helpful as well

everyone is eager to help within a reasonable degree

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah course

[marble crater]

Because it's coop and nobody wants to end up with bad teammates

[foggy shoal]

indeed

i'm mainly trying not to go down a whole bunch

it's been going well

[marble crater]

Not going down is easy, simply don't get hit

[acoustic jacinth]

Most importantly be brave though

Youve literally nothing to lose

[foggy shoal]

oh for sure

[acoustic jacinth]

So if you feel like doing something

Go do it try it

[foggy shoal]

my bloodlust leads me

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeeeeessss

[foggy shoal]

but need to be alive to purge heretics

[mighty shuttle]

Also

[acoustic jacinth]

I start giggling a little too when my seer psyker blows up the killfeed and starts going into maniacal laughter

[mighty shuttle]

Someone told me about empathetic evasion being must have for meleeker, but I don't think I really have any points left for it

Unless I've been mislead, but I've been doing without it for most part

[foggy shoal]

empathic really helps with the ranged spam

[buoyant maple]

It’s also in my guide now

[ripe obsidian]

Ha, I know the feeling

Spam F and pray

[mighty shuttle]

this is my build for the record being run.

Just curious what other meleekers removes to make that work

[hardy citrus]

When i saw 4 seconds on the timer I was just like

"nah I'm fucked"

[ripe obsidian]

I think it can be fun. But most of the fun comes from Shriek

[hardy citrus]

"I'm gonna blow myself up in my first game with these people"

"Can't ever play with them again"

[ripe obsidian]

I also know this feeling

[foggy shoal]

anticipation i guess isn't strictly necessary imo

[mighty shuttle]

It's pretty nice to have though

[foggy shoal]

it is for sure

[mighty shuttle]

4 dodges on FGS instead of 3

[ripe obsidian]

Anticipation is never necessary, but always nice to have.

[hardy citrus]

ive started using it and really like it personally

[foggy shoal]

same

it's the one thing i put on when i feel like im dying a lot

mobility is always nice

i still think empathic evasion would be worth taking something else off for though

it's just so nice when the game throws a horde of gunners your way

darn i can't exactly share images yet

but the guide says it's super free with all the crit we get

[marble crater]

You can share images now

[ripe obsidian]

EE is amazing

[mighty shuttle]

Yeah just that I've been getting by without it generally

So I think I'll stick without it

(Not insuniating that people are using it as crutch, but rather the adjustment in playstyle with musclememory with EE is probably jarring to drop on and off)

[ripe obsidian]

It's not that bad imo

I use EE on EK and Inferno, don't on Trauma

[hearty wolf]

Convert to stabstabstab and never worry again

Also where are the other melee Scum anyway? I'm yet to see a single one

[proper spoke]

I used to use it. A lot of fun being a living blender

[deft stump]

Because pewpew fun.

[hardy citrus]

@hearty wolf this is the clip from our run of me playing melee and still managing to nearly blow myself up anyways

[ripe obsidian]

I've seen a handful.

They usually do very well

[hardy citrus]

I need to redownload scoreboard tbh

Tracking what I’m doing will hopefully let me improve my play

[ripe obsidian]

Mayhaps it will

[deft stump]

Unless is me, then you suffer hard, heh.

[ripe obsidian]

But you like suffering.

Causing it, if nothing else.

[ornate hamlet]

Crowbar bonk

[deft stump]

I'm a sadist, right? You suffer having to carry, right?

[ripe obsidian]

Gonna be honest, I didn't think the details through past the initial joke

[ornate hamlet]

At least he's honest

[ripe obsidian]

Honesty is the best policy, as they say

[deft stump]

But, but, but... ||You know I'm a Slaaneshi with a Tzeentchian streak.||

[ripe obsidian]

I am probably the reverse, if I had to pick

[deft stump]

Oh...

[ripe obsidian]

Depends on the day

Hard to be Slaaneshi when depressed

[deft stump]

True. Sighs. I know the feel.

[ornate hamlet]

I am uhhh the uhhh

Salamander with a blood angel streak?

[knotty saddle]

whats the most fun psyker build

[wooden sand]

Anything

[knotty saddle]

I really like assail and active staffs. not like inferno staff

[frail oar]

Las Pistol Knife Brain burst telekine wall empowered psionics

[wooden sand]

That makes your enemies turn into dust of course

[knotty saddle]

want to use a staff

I have enough guns on the other classes

[frail oar]

Gundalf does not recognize the authority of staffs

[restive slate]

Psyker be getting a new staff by next update

No more buffs to Scryier Gaze pls

[ornate hamlet]

Shotgun staff

Slug alt-fire

[ripe obsidian]

+attack speed and golden toughness overcharge

[ripe obsidian]

Tried to play melee scum. Got overheaded twice. I think my brain is just not having Darktide today

[vagrant sail]

Im an aries with a Capricorn minor

[plucky flax]

Melee scummer moment

[ripe obsidian]

this close to a 0 damage taken run

a random bruiser poked me

@hardy citrus sometimes I am not a doofus when I play

[zealous mango]

Big sword full melee with scrier

Or small sword

[restive roost]

Yeah

Channeling the warp, am I right, siblings?

[zealous mango]

https://tenor.com/view/toystory-switching-channels-tv-remote-gif-3639262606499823125

Gotta keep switching channels until you find the warp

[restive roost]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-40k-psyker-explode-perils-gif-10586129510772702813

[ripe obsidian]

I think half the damage I took this game was from blight

the other half was me being a dummy. I made some very questionable choices with positioning that led to me being separated

And gettin' bullied

[plucky flax]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fallout4-fallout4mod-gif-26189248

[acoustic jacinth]

Blazing voidblast 👌

[ripe obsidian]

Blazing Voidblast is fun. It's just easy to get overwhelmed by scab ragers

which is weird to say on Voidblast

But if like 10 of them rush you from the side or behind, you can't really get an RMB off because they keep bonking

Well, dreg ragers are worse, but still

For some reason I get overrun less often on EK or Inferno. Might just be a me issue

Or my fault for playing when I am very tired

[acoustic jacinth]

I know what you mean. In such cases i just kick my fingers on overdrive and spam the life outta tap quell min cast xd

[ripe obsidian]

oh, I was accidentally using my superiority sword instead of deflector

that doesn't help

Since I don't use EE on that build, and because I don't spam push attack to build uncanny stacks, I don't find superiority useful when using trauma

[zealous wing]

pray harder to the emperor for protection

[ripe obsidian]

those were very polite crushers

[restive roost]

Shriek blast staff?

[zealous wing]

blazing trauma, yes

[restive roost]

Blast staff is M2 spam right?

I have one leveled up but I don't use it often.

I leveled it up using it as a sidearm for melee scryer

[zealous wing]

yeah, pretty much

M1 for ranged enemies you cant reach with m2

and monstrosities and such to get firestacks up

[hoary mauve]

Ive a noob question on poxbursters. Does inferno staff m1 stagger them in a safe way, or should I just push them like I usually do when using other ranged? Had a match where someone said people were shooting poxbursters and exploding him, but IDK if it was me accidentally doing it. I basically started running away / dodging back in case it was me.

[cold ivy]

in a just and fair universe, inferno staff m1 would always stagger poxbursters in a safe way

but our universe is neither so i advise swapping to melee and pushing twice (you can push a poxburster multiple times to get it even further away, iirc an almost point-blink burster in its detonation phase can be avoided with triple or quadruple push + backdodge)

[obtuse dome]

Just shove em

Allways

[cold ivy]

when i use inferno, m1 works like 60% of the time

[obtuse dome]

Unless u can make sure they dont explode on you

[cold ivy]

it's not worth gambling with your life

[obtuse dome]

Not just for you also for your team its just safer to shove.

For example if your teammate allready damaged it m1 might make it blow up in your face.

Especially with brain burst.

[cold ivy]

i think fatshark patched kinetic flayer so that it no longer triggers on bursters

but still

[obtuse dome]

Pretty sire it does

[cold ivy]

swap to melee and push is the most reliable option barring something like vet shout

[obtuse dome]

Not sure why it wouldnt count on burster.

[cold ivy]

i think this is up to date/accurate, at least personally i've never seen it happen post-patch

[zealous wing]

m1 does push bursters away

the only time it will kill them, is if someones already hurt it a ton and that little bit of fire finishes it off

[zealous wing]

also yes, KF does not proc on bursters anymore

[hearty wolf]

That CDR saved you jesus

[hearty wolf]

Interesting. I need to meet my siblings

I crave more knowledge

Like whether it's better to heavy monstrosities with my attack speed or not

[quiet pond]

What should I focus on/level up in the skill tree for this class?

I have no idea what to do, I feel like im a walking tazer

[verbal thistle]

Checking out the guide in pins to look for a starting build. Also now that psyker is the worst class to start off as a newer player. Since it juggles a large mechanic on top of learning how the game works

[quiet pond]

Fu-

[verbal thistle]

For a short answer (that is also found in the pins) is go assail (while leveling it's the fastest) and make sure to keep your peril high ish to maintain buffs like damage increase and damage reduction

The 2nd part only applies if you have the talents at mid to high level (my guess is around 14-30) is when you'll get these buffs

[quiet pond]

I see, because I still don’t get how the peril death thing works

I’ve gotten to 100 and not died so

Im confused

[hardy citrus]

Damn that is pretty intense

[verbal thistle]

If you get to 100% and then use more you die

[deft stump]

It happens if you use a peril increasing thing when at 100%.

[verbal thistle]

100% is fine just dont use anything then

[quiet pond]

So I can keep hitting 100% as long as I don’t go over?

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

[deft stump]

Try to quell when you hit 90%.

It's okay to edge around 60% when new.

More lee way.

[verbal thistle]

A good habit to build is tapping r (quell idk for controller) when high peril, often 90% or higher

[deft stump]

Slowly go up to edging around 80%.

[verbal thistle]

Being around 60-80 peril is the best state for a psyker to be. Benefits from peril buffs and is safe to use any magic

[quiet pond]

Is there a way to reduce the amount of peril generated? I feel like the lightning generates a lot in general

[verbal thistle]

Talents

There are a few

But I notice you are using smite while leveling and seem to be having trouble, no?

[hollow summit]

Smyker in training

Kill it before it lays eggs

[verbal thistle]

I find it quite annoying that new psykers are pulled into smite so early

They get a false idea of the ability, the class, how enemies work, what "support" is, and more

[deft stump]

Too lazy to play, it's brain dead on brain dead.

[verbal thistle]

It's such a bad thing for new players to find

[hollow summit]

I was interested in it because sith lord memes

[verbal thistle]

I was a victim of it too

[hollow summit]

But the ability in practice is just sleep inducing

[deft stump]

I just never liked it. Spammed bees more lul.

[hollow summit]

At least I found out ek is good and fun

[hearty wolf]

@hardy citrus @ripe obsidian @plucky flax is gaming planned for later?

[quiet pond]

Mostly what I know from it is that it’s good for holding people in place but that’s all I know

What do you recommend I swap it for?

[verbal thistle]

Assail

[quiet pond]

Is that the one that pops heads?

[verbal thistle]

Throwing rocks

Is assail

[quiet pond]

Oh that one

[verbal thistle]

This is amazing for leveling

Since lower difficulty rarely has a lot of carapace enemies

And assail destroyes unarmored enemies

Smite is a huge noob trap too

Main things is that it does bad damage and creates bab habits

[verbal thistle]

.

[quiet pond]

I see I see

What about the staffs?

I have no idea what im doing with em

[verbal thistle]

I wouldn't use until you are maxed

[quiet pond]

Ahh alright

[verbal thistle]

Staffs shine when fully maxed weapon and talent tree

And most of them scale with difficulty

The more enemies the better

So 2 major downsides using them while leveling

But try them out for fun if you want

Nothing stops you

[plucky flax]

Hmm maybe tonight ye

[quiet pond]

I see I see

Thanks!

What about ability?

Like there’s a shield and the other things

[verbal thistle]

While learning I think shriek would be the best

Bubble helps too but learning how to respect ranged enemies should be learned early

Knowing line of sights. Sliding. And just how to maintain gunner lines are good to learn early

But if you like bubble go for it

A note for shirek. If you are dying to peril (hands on head about to explode) using shriek saves you

[quiet pond]

I didn’t know that

Pretty cool

[verbal thistle]

Gaze is a little complicated to use early but also has the save from peril like shirek

Gaze can be broken down into. Gain peril, while gaining peril you gain damage.

[acoustic jacinth]

Since we're on this topic
Out of curiosity, have you grown to prefer SG blazing voidblast over shriek for soulblaze maxxing?

[hardy citrus]

I could be around for it if we wanted

[verbal thistle]

I never used shriek outside EK staff focus build

[quiet pond]

So the more peril the more damage, like you said about wanting to keep peril high right?

[verbal thistle]

It's not that engaging for me. Gaze also is the 2nd shortest ability to it's a good combo for bb speed on ability use

[zealous wing]

generally, yes, if you have the talents/blessings for it, and sciers has its own damage boosting it gives

[verbal thistle]

Correct. The talent at center near bottom (Warp rider). Gain up to 20% scaling with peril

Plus a lot of other talents that do similar things

Some are damage reduction too

[zealous wing]

if you want a build to follow that uses assail and scriers to try out, mine in the build guide has proven good for leveling psyker, for myself and a few others

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0bcdc7a-d0f6-4438-825d-fa4fe02e1909/berpsyker
this one, for ease of access

even if you cant grab the entire tree, and just grab as you go, it functions well enough

you can also just swap scriers for shriek or bubble, if you prefer either of those, its versatile

[quiet pond]

Thanks! I’ll make sure to try this when I get home

[zealous wing]

i suggest reading the description of the build as well

it will tell you what you need to know

[quiet pond]

I’ll keep that in mind!

[acoustic jacinth]

Just like me. Well, i use shriek with vb too, but i understand why you use it with EK. Personally, it removes the weight of worrying about stray trash and mixed hordes

I get the engaging part uh, it does get repetetive

I wouldn't want to compare them to begin with, though i think shriek might still have the upper hand with blazing vb, due to how easy it is to stack sb on high density

[hoary mauve]

Okay! Thanks

[frail osprey]

Didn't realize how dangerous that heavy laspistol was on psykers

[hoary mauve]

Thanks. Better to be safe than sorry yeah, especially in a horde. I'll go back to pushing 😅

[quiet pond]

Which aura is best for psyker as someone who is just starting out on em?

[deft stump]

CDR to vent more if you mess up alot.

[quiet pond]

Which one is that one, the middle one?

[jovial juniper]

Yuh

[deft stump]

Middle.

[quiet pond]

Kk, thanks!

[deft stump]

Left is elite damage, right is crits.

[quiet pond]

Gotchu

[frail oar]

The CDR is unique to psyker the others are either equivalent or worse versions of other auras.

Best for you and the team to take that unless there's another psyker running it already.

Speaking of which is anyone interested in doing some 2 psyker maelstroms?

[idle plover]

I forgot force sword had 12 blessings

Kinda ridiculous ammount for it specifically

[quiet pond]

Is the blaze force greatsword better or the normal sword?

[marble crater]

With the greatsword you trade having more damage for being less mobile, it can do horde and single target damage, while the normal ones are either or

If you want to use your melee as your main weapon, pick force greatsword
If you want to use your melee for the few situations where you need it, use normal sword
imo

[hardy coral]

Perfect strike blessing on Heavy sword combined with Charged strike is one of the dumbest yet amusing things to see a Bulwark just melt away when im not even trying to hit them in the hordes.

[pure plinth]

with the right build and blessings you can make the obscurus one shot crushers on auric

[jovial juniper]

It's also the best choice for Charged Strike because Perfect Strike is mass modifier

And less mass = better charged strike

[hardy coral]

this is what ive been running the passed week, its actually such a fun build. Malefic momentum also gets triggered by charged strike if an enemy dies by it so its great for mixed hordes.

[acoustic jacinth]

Pretty solid minus the smite

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-kevin-hart-kevin-real-real-kevin-sybau-gif-132976031297701233

[hardy coral]

i mainly only use the smite for bursters or dogs.

[restive slate]

I use Smite to apply funny Heavy melee lightning

[lean pivot]

Smite is brain dead fun

Zap

[hardy citrus]

just push them like a normal person

and u dont have to waste ur entire blitz on it

[hardy coral]

Not when there's 20 of them coming at me at once, im not taking my chances, plus I'm mainly only using it for charged strike and enfeeble since it's a heavy sword Psyker build.

[hardy citrus]

idk if u should be running maleific momentum either

since idk if ur getting warp kills?

Does the heavy lightning count for that

[deft stump]

Technically, but it does very little damage.

[hardy coral]

It counts on charged strike kill, I've been able to hold 5 stacks of Malefic momentum for a good while hacking away at hordes.

[hardy citrus]

then yeah no point running maleific

oh if that works

then nvm

[zealous mango]

I have done the most long time intense clutch as psyker out of all classes

5mins+ agaisnt nothing more than just scab hordes, mutie and hound waves with my little pocket knife

[zealous wing]

5 stacks of both?

because there is a different buff slot for warp and nonwarp

and when i ran my tests, i got a nice whopping 14 blitz kills in a mission (the only one i remember that i didnt use the blitz at all except for charged strikes)

though the weapon i used, i dont remember, i think it was taxe, since taxe is mostly heavies

[ripe obsidian]

I just wanted to prove I am not actually bad. D:

[zealous wing]

im guessing your match with them went poorly

[ripe obsidian]

Maybe. I work this day

[ripe obsidian]

We won, but I died like 3 times

Agent and Sin carried

[zealous wing]

so, from your POV, poorly

[deft stump]

To be fair, depends on mindset.

[zealous wing]

also, the hivescum in the screenshot above makes me laugh

TL 1051

[hearty wolf]

That's rude

[plucky flax]

I played poorly i got ledges by boss as always

[zealous wing]

you're rude

[hearty wolf]

Wtf no I'm not 😭

[hearty wolf]

I honestly think my rescue speed actually helped a ton that game

Especially when people died on the event

[zealous wing]

res speed underappreciated perk

i have 2x

[hearty wolf]

Ye that's what I'm using too

[ripe obsidian]

I was a garbage man. A man made of garbage.

[hearty wolf]

That being said I think I let Six die once when I could have probably gotten him

[icy breach]

Atleast not dogshit

[zealous wing]

the probably is the keyword there

as in, you did the right thing

[ripe obsidian]

No, I am rude. The rudest. Do not steal my title.

[hearty wolf]

It's one of those where if the Reaper decides to turn around, I'm cooked

[zealous wing]

when in doubt, let die

[hearty wolf]

But sometimes it's worth the gamble if you're gonna die anyway but I never felt particular threatened

[ripe obsidian]

What's your melee scum build now?

[wraith sphinx]

no, you are six

[ripe obsidian]

Also, are you still H38?

[hearty wolf]

I believe so ya, I was 37 when we played yesterday I think since I forgot to update

[icy breach]

No time to climb?

[zealous wing]

:O

[hearty wolf]

I'm not on desktop but it was like the previous one except I'm not taking poison blitz

[zealous wing]

so you LIED :O

[hearty wolf]

And I just moved that to weak spot hits

[hearty wolf]

More like waiting for time to play with friends

I find playing with randoms genuinely miserable

[zealous wing]

this is true

[hearty wolf]

Like I know how to win, I just need to not play like a twat and sit with them for ages

[zealous wing]

randoms right now, especially after the recent SF knife zealot duo, have made pubs in havoc very untrustworthy

[icy breach]

Majority of the time they are dogshit yes
Sometimes tho you find gems & ppl willing to improve

[hearty wolf]

But I'd rather be surrounded by gunners and disablers and constantly on death's door and making an impact that helps my team.

Rather than having to protect them from the average poxwalker

[icy breach]

Once again yet again another reason to dislike ‚single player’ mindset bozos

[zealous wing]

200 people carried through an h40 clear, with no requirement other than a heresy maelstrom,

doesnt sound like a lot, but then you remember how small the game actually is

[icy breach]

I noticed that; i have highly mixed feelings about it

[hearty wolf]

That's the thing. I'm so far ahead of my team, I'm literally playing solo (but in havoc, if your team knows to press W it works.)

I basically make gaps in the horde so if they manage to kill their stuff, they can walk into a clear or at least thinned out new section

[ripe obsidian]

If I see a game where I know at least one random is good, I am happy to join.

[zealous wing]

i heavily feel like they were intentionally drawing as much attention as possible, either to havoc, shroudfield, or the map

[icy breach]

So you do rush ahead; bad idea

[zealous wing]

they had a specific map, i never popped in to see which, i forgot to

[hearty wolf]

Idk, I'm pretty sure I practically carried that game we played yesterday

[zealous wing]

they'll likely do it again when that same map comes up

[icy breach]

Probably all

[zealous wing]

they were speedrunning it, and said it was 10m per mission

[ripe obsidian]

Problem is, I want to experiment with non-Psyker stuff in H40, but my Psyker skill level is so far ahead of everything else. I can win on toxin scum and maybe melee scum, and I can win with Arby, but I am not able to turn around bad situations like I can when playing well on Psyker

[zealous wing]

so, hopefully fatshark paid attention and removes that map from the pool, like they did mercantile

[icy breach]

You use purgatus?

[zealous wing]

but also, i hope they realise how dumb it is to show clear, instead of actual assignment rank

[ripe obsidian]

Mercantile is in the pool

[hearty wolf]

Just keep trying

[ripe obsidian]

Not recently.

[zealous wing]

IS IT!?

WHY

[icy breach]

Good; use trauma

[zealous wing]

that would be the map then

[ripe obsidian]

I've been using EK and Trauma more often of late

[zealous wing]

or, one of them

you can skip mercantile in a way to not get any spawns at all until the end event

[ripe obsidian]

But I do use inferno as well. Only staff I don't use in H40 is Voidstrike

[icy breach]

Forgotten staff

[ripe obsidian]

@humble skiff which map is it that you speedrun?

[zealous wing]

i even know how to do it 😭 its not even that hard to replicate for fatshark

[deft stump]

Meanest and Rudest.

[buoyant maple]

Voidstrike got obliterated by true aim nerf

[ripe obsidian]

:D

[ripe obsidian]

It is true.

[humble skiff]

archivum sycorax, why?

[ripe obsidian]

Curiosity

[zealous wing]

that makes sense

[deft stump]

But some are just lazy and like to just have fun.

[buoyant maple]

Sycorax is the easiest to solo / speedrun

[ripe obsidian]

Voidstrike also got wrecked by the Scab HP increases

[zealous wing]

yeah people suggest sycorax as one of the ones for fleshwound
