I don't care as much, just don't like wasting hp only for them to go down again 10 secs later.
When you hit 9 deaths in heresy, you really shouldn't be in it.
You always could? Assail is pretty decent even on heresy.
The real gates are getting mastery on FGS/FS/Staff of choice/guns.
Staves only shine maxxed out.
FGS feels awkward before maxxed, then an absolute monster.
yeah but I didnt wanna play guns
theres 5 other gun classes in the game ;.;
and the staffs didnt feel very good while leveling
but now my staff feels fast and I can vent cycle really fast too
Staves are 500 maxxed or bleah.
Strike is always bleah.
my issue with "carreer smykers" is that they also tend to be incredibly entitled. last time I played with a smyker he started shitting and pissing himself in chat after getting flanked and bonked by a crusher on account of being way out front of the team
bro went "well done you morons, now you don't have me to control the enemy horde, you are FUCKED" and we just kept playing as normal lol
fastest block in the west
you lost your Alpha
now youre just omegas
what a fuckin dumbass of a smyker
btw what blessings for Blaze Sword? I have electrokinetic staff, brain burst, warp siphon build
uncanny and something probably
woah its Kat
I havent seen u since v2 discord
whatever will we do if the horde of suspiciously oneshottable poxwalkers comes closer without being locked in place?
hi yeah i still exist ๐๐ป
whyd you get banned lol
Kat exists?1!1?!1?1!1?1!1?
theoretically
an ill-advised remark
most unfortunate
Probably perish to this dark... tide.
there is precious little evidence to support this claim
Which is
which is not enough to verify
exactly

what do we think the next class is going to be
psyker 2?
or zealot 2?
since so far we have smallgryn and vet 2
You mean vetzealot.
I want really full on support oriented class
Jokes on you i dont use reddit
But you and that reddit poster are hell as dumb
sub-standards*
How rude and baseless accusations
I hope fatshark actually goes against the grain and makes the next DLC class be an electro priest or something along those lines.
But i really want sister novitiate and weird ass sisters weapons like stakethrower

And I really wish we'd get a new map every major update
Inb4 we get zotann
That'd be funny
I really want to see admech crowd go bananas again after they gaslight themselves
I'm probably gonna stay tuned out of darktide until the next major update since I'm hooked on helldivers 2 again. New warbond is mad fun
ive played with a psyker almost every game leveling my psyker
and we just had a double force greatsword lobby
man that was fun
its like ogryn lobbies but psyker
Ive had exactly one smyker in havocs and i do not want to see another
oh and I officially can't stand the commodore's vestures horseshit any longer
whoever is responsible for store rotations needs to have their priorities reevaluated
Woe upon you, another rotation with Witches Fingers trinket included
witch fingers? green laspistol skin? krieg? aw fatshark you shouldn't have
Vigilant autogun skins
Vostroyan cosmetics
absolutely fucking not
we've heard player complaints that the store rotations are getting a bit stale, so we're briefly rerunning never-seen-before steel legion sets!
Im not angling for killing floor medics here
But i simply like the skills which buff teammates like chorus or stimm supply
While ogryn's leopard pants were not seen in the entirety of 2024 iirc
I want to get a black psyker blouse but according to reddit it hasn't been in the store since late 2023 or so
pic?
not even the IG regiment recolors are consistent like why does only veteran get that cool forest camo steel legion set
i think the worst part is we cant even try to come up with NEW things a new class would do
both new classes so far have been "can i copy your homework" of the other classes
Yeah
scum has infinite corruption immunity to the whole team, zealot has beacon of purity
scum has infinite ammo, vet has the "las weapons dont consume ammo on crit"
scum has ammo sharing, vet has the aura
scum has ranged attack immunity, psyker has ranged attack immunity
scum has rampage to shove even monstrosities... TWICE! zealot has chorus, vet has shout
i would argue even that arby has more unique stuff.
damage capped at 50? nuncio for revive speed boost and enemy attack speed debuff? the dog itself
like yeah both are WAY overpowered, but arby is the most unique of the two, ironically enough
still, steps on oggys toes a lot
Imo arby is fine as the tank for players who are not comfortable with ogryns sluggishness
Hive scum for most part to me was miss
I only like bonesaw and stimm supply narco playstyle
i would even argue arby is a great support for an ogryn as a less effective tank but also some DPS
ogryn full taunt, arby taking care of the clutter in a safer manner while the crowd controller/slaughterer (psyker, usually) clears the trash itself, then you have a zealot or vet taking out the incoming threats like specials or ranged elites
arby is for if you want a tank/DPS, ogryn is just a tank
New classes mostly comes down to weapons that wouldn't sit with existing characters
Like the maul and shield would be out of place on vet
I don't buy the whole homework copying argument about the DLC classes. Both arby and scum have distinct playstyles
oh yeah i have that one

And hive scums dont fit on psyker or zealot well
Like with sisters weaponry one could argue theyd fit with zealot
But like i can hardly see bag breathing zealot using stakethrower
Or sword and dagger combo
I just save for automatic shotgun and mag dump.
Valid
Ppl rage if you don't want to play medic. I just pick class and save for autoshotty.
same people to rage if a psyker takes shriek instead of bubble on inferno
it made me actually think that very few coop shooters have healer as a role
killing floor is only one i can think of
Blergh, medic in kf2 is just kill zeds but also slightly better at healing
a healer would absolutely not work in this game
yeah not in this gam
the medicae is carefully spaced out, you only get 4 medipacks for a reason
its very RTS
healing is limited from getgo so its more important resource
healing would break the whole gameplay flow
4? 2.
i was told 4 medipacks spawn per map at most
usually the healer role is more loose in coop games. something like drg you could argue the scout as the healer, since they're the best at revives (gunner fits too)
yeah and in most coops you got reviving
in kf you die
so having healing is paramount
sm2 has bulwarks and snipers as revive andys ig
IDK. 2/2 unless uprising, then 2 med, 3 ammo.
having reviving kinda removes requirement of active healers
Classes having some overlap in their play styles, like Ogryn and Arbites, is seemingly intentional to keep player interest up, possibly sell cosmetics for multiple classes, and reduce development time by already having familiar systems in the game.
Train is always 1/1.
ye train also guarentees at least one combat stim, i know this much
Overlap is normal tbh, so much you can do with hit things in melee or shoot things at range.
Doing 32 trains in one night...
i cant
imma keep running that reload aura on arby to piss people off
It was for penances.
the penances will always be there
its the battery retrival section that is always most bothersome on train
The train mission's music never gets boring on the other hand
ill get it eventually through QP but im not grinding this out lmao
That was the only operations then.
i have ingame music off
heresy
i listen to my own music
I like doing train
thats why all of my clips have random ass music in them 
This is a Jesper Kyd house, sonny
dw i have his songs in the playlists too
Train weeds out the noobs very rapidly
okay fair enough
i would play music but darktide is bit intense on my pc so i dont want to keep browser open
but then i have very random music that just makes things funnier or sound more epic than they were
And I dont have to drag their ass around for 15 minutes until we all drop
me popping ramstein zeig dich when last man standing
or the music just flows well
or it makes me get a bad movetech idea that somehow works
own music = more interesting moments
i would be just dropping demon hunter or ramstein every match
welcome to the world
despite there ALSO being 2 electrokenetic staff psykers in the game???
actual lightning spam
if theres a smyker, and you have 4 people, no you have 3 people
also I think my psyker is really starting to take off
im mass killings things, most of which I never aimed at and are not on my screen
wildfire + kf
its like everything in my region of the map in a certain direction just randomly dies
oh yeah I do have wildfire
what is kf?
kinetic flayer
ah
Then you either get funny 7 mins speed games or barely clearing or failing.
Also funny when you run off to loot and things are still dying in the kill feed.
Eh, if half my team drops before second bomb i just accidentally dodge off the carriage
@neon drift
so far all of my psykers downs
are to myself
in every difficulty
too much warp...
gotta just blow up sometimes don't you? It's good for the soul
yeah sometimes you just need to let it all out
otherwise you open a portal for daemons to come through so
yea don't think beloved would like that.. or they would, not sure 
thinkin about making my fem savant fem seer
idk
the pain of liking 4 personalities but not having 4 slots available for mains
a real pain indeed.
I'm happy I just particularly like the flavour of crazy of a seer
yeah they're gold
m loner definitely my most favourite, but seer is good too
fem loner and m savant tho both lackluster to me
squeaky german man is fun too yea. If I ever make an M psyker I'll defo make em a loner lol.
"maybe I ate em"
xD
Brawler asked if a canticle is tasty earlier
damn, Loner calling out everyone huh?
also i just am gonna leave this here for you
lol
i also have this, which is just, everyone when they dont know what a marty zealot is
yeah its rough
pox gas is the most forgiving, itself
medstim spam
its the fucking BOMBERS
yeah idk
it's crazy how the modifier both covers the entire map in pox gas
and then spawns more bombers so u cant even get away from it
Enclavum Baross trauma rising.
current ptsd is consignment yard
in the little rooms after the data interrogator event
1 pox bomber covering the entire room in pox
ASCENSION RISER
see
i dont play asc riser
if it spawns in i just leave
let me find my tierlist
I've had people jab me with heal stimms
Is just the farts cover everything but the riskiest paths to take.
While I was on my last wound
Lul.
I still stand by mine.
what did ascension riser do to you?
exist
I like how they karked all the pics except for No Man's Land.
actually i think its NML thats karked
unless thats what you meant
its crisp instead of having the filter over it
oh and NML is in my S tier as well
its ok
all S tier missions have either trains or (moving) tanks
rolling steel and no man's land also have my favourite map specific soundtracks of the bunch
rolling steel is just, a 7 minute mission with a chance to give you a 56s intro from kayex
i dont like rolling steel
I hate the first part of the smelter mission
Fucking ledge with a probable boss spawn right at the end
And tons of barrels
machine god has spoken apparently
The filter is dog dook!
i see you btw roy this was jsut very very important
1 min unskippable loading screen is like, WTF.
Makes me hate KX tbh.
yea, honestly was just trying to get the right rhytm with surge surge in the psykhanium
when scriers is down, fire like, 4-6 shots then tap quell
Different kind of hate imo.
can tapquell after 2 shots if your peril is too high for your comfort for a decent dump
nah kayex is annoying to listen to, she's annoying to listen to so much so i want her dead
i do noTT careUH for surprises-UH! i uhstrive eveR for certainTY
I just dislike 1 min load screen when I know I loaded in like 40 secs ago.
I literally can finish 2 10 x 10 nonograms before he finally shuts up.
On phone anyway.
I'll try, no guarantee I won't hilariously explode a couple a times though
vect
That's saving vent for energencies.
VECT??? What even?
oh no i actually didn't mean that one
I usually explode on ek lel
vect exploded himself during h40 clutch because he started the bb at 97.1
yeah
Decimal.
97.0
lmao
Kek
thats just unlucky
Is why I edge lower. Or save vent for accidents.
he was dealing with the final flamer ๐ญ
I mean, we got him to clutch on high ping before lul.
otherwise it might be me who exploded but i dont remember
i was the only other psyker
He is probably still unamused by it to this day.
while i was present, ofc
force sword or dueling sword for ek staff build
dueling sword for mobility, if surge surge, FGS if you want hordeclear for RMB
but if you know how to move, FGS is fine for either
force sword with deflect also good just in case vs gunners if not running shield
you need kinetic deflection for it to be really viable
otherwise its just general defensive blessing
that too
why'd it need kinetic deflection for it to be good?
ah I see
Cos even with block effi and 16 stam, a reaper will chew through after awhile.
Wait.
5+9+2.
16
Yeah, that.
You can survive the hail for a decent time though, still more a funni meme thing.
With KD and -peril nodes...
Well, a DH combo is 2.5% peril.
4 attacks, 2.5% peril damage.
For minis?
Yeah
Iโm tryna paint my death company but my white is really old and kinda watery now
The store I frequent is just a ways away
I had this idea (obviously not new or anything) as im struggling getting into havocs with randoms and its really hit&miss with the teams. One rolls over all content and i feel carried, another has members that would go down even in malice probably. So inferno bubble psyker seems to be the most consistent "anchor" for teams like that to help em survive... But what if id also replace brainburst with smite for extreme emergencies? Is there any good synergy in that idea?
Ah. I see.
Yo should i skip this battle of tertium campain?
after i did the last special mission
i mean this wolfer's ritual
Have to do all 3 6x.
I just quickplay so idk
I donโt care for campaigns really
Theyโre basically all low intensity which is giga shit
Imo you lose a lot of generalist power and your only long range attack, plus I wouldnโt run smite simply out of principle
Well i have no such principles so... asking if its viable still ๐

Anything is viable if youโre good enough
Sure, cant take out that 50m+ away sniper, but i have bubble for that
Id have it mostly just for emergencies when it looks like team is about to fold
Ultimately most of these people
If they were going to go down
I think theyโd still go down anyway
Also, does flaming em first so dots are running and smiting afterwards any good?
Or alternating the two
Itโll keep them still whilst they burn I guess but I think youโre probably better continuing to soul flame
Soul blaze right
Last Havoc i did we failed the first one with others dropping quickly unable to deal with rotten armor, so the psyker of the team then just mostly smited the 2nd one and it was fairly easy if bit awkward to slowly take down those crusher packs, so got me thinking of doing it in more aggressive flamey style
What rank are you playing around
I just started em, did my first auric maelstrom so got into 16 and last one i did was 22
Returned to game after 1ยฝ year break
Iโd say that explains the swingy teams but tbh that never stops 
Best way to kill rotten is via dot, since rotten dr doesnโt apply to dot
One with rotten armor was harsh, while next one after it felt too easy
Youโre probably better abusing uncanny with inferno rather than anything else
Yeah i wish i had been on my needler scum instead of vraks iag desperado
30 with rotten is like, 35-40 without unironically
But the psyker with smite carried it so it just got me thinking of having such panic button while mostly doing actually damage and helping team with bubbles
k so
poxwalkers oneshotting in h40 i understand
but riddle me this
how the fuck does it one shot me in damnation
but in damnation
i had full hp one frame, downed the next, "downed by poxwalker with basic melee"
fatshark did something
im not the only one having weird issues like this either
they changed SOMETHING
You sure you werent hit like by plasma gunner in back first you didnt notice, then instantly followed by punch from poxwalker?
i am sure
those fuckers are loud
and, again, it was damnation, there isnt even close to the density needed to start making things silent
150 hp, 117 toughness, maybe some toughness chip because meleeker at lvl 13, but it mattered little
in all my psyker levelings i've not had issues like this
this run is so cursed
they 100% fucked with something
my guess is they tried to fix dodgelinger as well, and did the opposite
i dodge, cleanly, and, "what dodge lol" says the elite
Was there an update today?
no but they dont need that
I guess they couldโve tried to hotfix it
The meta loadout you seek is the loadout in your hands, rejects.
There are MULTIPLE WRONG THINGS in this clip; can you find them all?

- Theyโre playing darktide
- Theyโre playing psyker
People keep telling me that Psyker is a free win, that the class is OP
Then I see a random play Psyker
And I outdamage then by 4x as toxin scum, or double as tanky arby
Yep
Hexis and I have had similar issues with dodges
Pick bubble pick purga it's free win
Yeah u pick it and auto win
Like u load into the game and the heretics just stand aside and let u walk past
I am afraid I don't see it
Its real
Play bubble inferno with randoms and report back. Or, better yet, get a random to play it
I do it plenty actually. It feels like teammates play better cos bubble keep them cosy. 
But my damage suffer so I don't like it. 
Do you? I have never seen it outside of bubble knight
I haven't played bubble in a while. Last time was when I was lagging hard with you and played rending trauma bubble
I feel like bubble just puts me at the mercy of my team. I have so little agency or ability to push situations
I don't play purg bubble on EU
Cos I can counter flame since I can understand them
Unless Ruski 
Last night I had a team that was upset I didn't take bubble
So I swapped off of Psyker and let them do it
They died first and did under 100k damage
Are you two around atm?
That team had one decent person and two quite bad players. Was frustrating
I am only partially awake. Had to get up early because of a tour of my apartment.
And then the realtor was 15 minutes late.
Bruh
I think I am around.
Not sure if serious or joking
We have had issues.
Both of us.
Lots of getting hit by melee mid-dodge
Or hit by specials, mostly dogs and trappers, hitting us when we're very clearly out of the way
I think @hearty wolf did also
ok so you are serious
lemme enlighten you then; LAG happened the moment i charged a trauma at sniper thats why i got hit
Ah
ok
like srsly; watch the clip yet again; after that lag was still persisting (hence sliding enemies & players); not even the sniper shot was audible cause of lag
according to my friends POV; i got shot twice
i am home
despite 1 being visible to me through the entire clip
- another clear indicator of lag is when you dodge/move fast somewhere & you return to the place before (thats what happened to me there; despite being down the small stairs i got back to the original point where i dodged from = lag happened before i put input for dodge = the sniper was able to shoot me & hit me)
yep ok
i am now around
@ripe obsidian u up to play now or do u want some time if ur not awake
Go ahead without me. I would play like I am drunk right now.

well it'd just be me and chaos
im cool with that ig, we could wait for @hearty wolf to be around if he's gonna show up
Playing NR atm
I have never once seen someone call Nightreign "NR"
Maybe the issues we're having with dodging are also lag, just less visible

Yessir
big!
clown
food ate
Okay i can come
anyone else?
tomfoolery going on?
havocing
ye we just dived in. depending how it goes they might let you come have a peek a match
A peek a match?
at a h40
I'm only imagining that can go amazingly
man
they really need to change bons
so if they eat u
u are damage immune whilst in them
from things outside of thyem
supposedly they are supposed to
same as muti grabs
however
fatshark is fatshark
mutant grabs are fine imo
cant even put crit damage curve inside the brackets
u can actually avoid them
you can avoid being eaten too
bon just eats u
dont get barfed on
but you are SUPPOSED to only take damage from the thing incapacitating you like such
Got bsed by a BoN. Died to pogryn free hits cos BoN grabbed.
Worst part, it took the BoN nearly 10 mins to release me
I was long dead by then.
Like, what the fuck was that bs?
Is there no release in a sane time if no other players are alive?
10 mins is just stupid.
also if this does come to pass btw, don't be affraid to tag me here or something. I'm just catching up on some shows so I'm not in game yet
rip
u had two crazy clutches

I ate an overhead
that room is just pretty brutal with rot, getting surrounded by crushers is not conclusive with a long life
you can tag in
wyv wants a new assignment lol so lose or win is good
I'd like to win!
well yeah xD
i don't really care so long as it isn't fucking ROT
well I'll try my best! No promises however. None at all xD
or poorly times dodges; do you use anticipation talent? Does Six use it?
what map? 
warren
its too easy to get pushed around and split with rot
and since i should stick with the tank, and the tank splits off..............
i short circuit
@zealous wing computer fucking crashed. Great start already
i have warren with pox gas with tox bombers + rotten + rampaging

you have no idea how hard that one is
so
wow I just met the example of a horrible smyker
they were smite spamming and at the end when I asked them about it they said they knew it was toxic and didn't care
I didn't think people like that existed
Well I see why everyone hates smykers now
it's also for the simple fact they're using smite in the first place.
well I thought that everyone doing it just wasn't aware of how toxic it was, but it turns out that someone can be completely aware of it and still be a smyker
I'm sad smyker is toxic because like... sith lightning. But alas
it's funny to me because tabletop smite has more strength than a bolter
and about the same arpen
Smite in lore isn't like "haha I'm tickling the enemies in place"
It's "oh fuck that guy just got fried so bad his innards are becoming outers"
If psykers become lore accurate what's the 1st thing to happen in mission
Explode and spawn Cspawn?
wdym by more accurate
Tbh probably, given how prone some of them are to perils
Lore
Like
These are all unsanctioned psykers
Savant has the most training but they're still unsanctioned
They're walking hazards for everyone else
Babies with kitchen knives basically
Fair
isnt that what the exploding collars are for
to kill the psyker before they actually spawn something
Are they actually bomb collars?
It's suggested they are
I figured they were just psychic hoods tbh
I don't think there are direct lines though
i dont think they are
are they?
None of them are sanctioned because none of them are apart of the uhhh
Schola Psykanium?
Is that the name?
Yeah
I thought that was one of the background options
nope it doesn't
And the personalities are defo not sanctioned lol
"pray to your carrion lord they never get in" - loner
Yeah savant has training but they're not like
Has gone through the black ships into Schola trained
loner is sane hes just a dick
Loner is
Sane by our metrics of the outside looking in but insane by the metrics of a 40k character
savant thinks hes better than everyone cus he lacks whimsy
Blessings for voidstrike?
seer is that annoying guy from ur intro to film history class that wont shut up about his clove cigarettes
Also whats a good build for it
gaze destiny
guide in the pins
Wait so the explosion isnโt due to the warp itโs due to your bomb collar going off
Thatโs really funny actually
ye lol
idk its also real funny it procs MM
but sad that it isnt affected by the warp damage boosting talents
it would be so fun
fatshark i have a havoc modifier idea
i wonder if i should run CDR on vet
change psyker explosion to warp damage, but add a 50% chance it spawns a monstrosity
but it should be merged with some other goofy shit
something for each class
make havoc actually entertaining with the bullshit you can pull or have happen on known chance
rather than "woe, stinky sticky floor be upon ye"
for shout, probably
golden toughness protects so fuckin much
burster explosion just do nothing but clean your toughness bar
into rot? lmfao
i just like shout more
I like abilities that uh
do things
Exe is good, but it's just a bunch of stats
It works, believe it or not
which is boring
it works really well because rot is elite spam
it's still just kinda borin
Shout isn't the end all be all anymore with how sauced up ES is now.
but shout is still more fun
Lol
my vet only exists for shout and kraks
If you think so man
and field improv
I wouldn't wish this gameplay upon my worst enemy
if they add another class, im deleting vet ngl, after i finish the penances, so i can have a slot for the new thing if its interesting
I wouldn't wish being a VoC bot on mine tbf
Staff psyker is literally more fun because at least you aren't Sisyphus pushing the fucking boulder up the hill every time you have to turn the sword back on
AND THAT'S STAFF PSYKER 
I'll be deadass
trauma + rot+ orange is really fun
I would rather blow my brains out that play staffker
So
Different strokes for different folks
Agreed.
I do enjoy a good bit of zerging from time to time
I like psword
I respect your gumption
i just wish psword wasnt so annoying to use. they tried to make a middleground with falcion and they made the falcion so shit
I donโt find it that bad
I think after multiple years now of having weapons that didn't require me to be SUPER finicky with the special (even crusher maul doesn't just mindlessly spam special anymore) I can't go back
I like having all its power concentrated into a few swings
Yeah, that's the feeling I get from the illisi
But weirdly enough not the PS. Probably because the Illisi can still kill while it's off
special spam is the only thing that keeps illisi even kind of afloat
very sad
genuinely
sexiest sword, shittiest versatility
I still prefer it to the deimos when paired with either bowling ball staff or a gun
Deimos is just so good though :(((
with gun i use FGS
I try to give the FGS a break when I can
have you tried obscurus at all?
I get a weird duelingsworditis with it where I feel like I gotta use other stuff too rather than just crutching the sexy moonlight gs
I don't think I liked the obscurus moveset
Oop wrong class
Anticipation sometimes. Depends on spare points
use it all the time 
Sounds like all the games I played Arby with you
maybe just your luck? I doubt its map specific
Yeah we didnโt win any tho 
why unstable power blessing shown 5% max strenght but buff shown 4 stack feeling like 20%?
And I mean, getting killed by a rager while actively dodging feels wrong.
Like, still in the animation
because it lies
it IS 20% at 4 stacks
Because Fatshark is poorly managed
vague or incorrect descriptions are just part of our tradition at this point
regeneneration
n ofc the incorrectly translated penances
i miss old psykinetics
Oof. Game too hard.
nuking it was the greatest monkeys paw moment in barktide
"nuking"
it got buffed
its still great
Current PA is way more consistent for the Psyker
all blitz can access it, which means no more "MUST HAVE BB OR SMITE!!!1!" from havocers
that alone is a buff
yea thats the monkeys paw aspect
and the uptime on it is stil real good
and since scriers can have its cooldown shortened even while its active, is very tasty
PA has like a 90% or higher uptime on H40
I wish I knew the design philosophies Fatshark wanted to fulfill for each class.
i bet you they do too
i would say this one is better than the previous one
eh its a mixed bag i guess
remember how the old one gave the whole team cdr ?
and it was a flat reduction rather than a rate increase ?
It wasn't flat
it was busted; glad its gone
oh right
i still have the old archive if you want to see the old tree
Psyker's a win more class
not even
Good ones, maybe.
I've played with a lot of godawful random psykers this week
Psyker has the hardest time getting out of a hole and soloing. Psyker excels when team members are a wall between them and enemies.
Psyker needs space and time to cast his magic when on staff. You can play melee psyker, of course, but then you're a Zealot without any of the mistake forgiveness
uuuuh
This is not accurate with the current tree.
yeah fr
Meleeker is absurdly tanky
i always be in the front on aurics
havent really gone melee in havocs in a while but have a few times
lack the confidence to havoc
i see a wall of elites in auric and i go nuts
I disagree. It's really hard to beat the ability to tank anything once.
Oh, I just remembered a second time I died mid-dodge to a rager during a clutch attempt. Dodging definitely feels really off this weekend. Like they pushed a netcode change to the servers on Friday
Uh.
I SWEAR IM NOT INSANE
simple, psyker does it multiple times
Psyker has 4 or 5 different DR nodes and like 6 toughness regen nodes
You can tank a fucking lot
and then also heals back up, right? 
psyker can facetank a crusher overhead without dying
Not even the right build. Just a halfway decent meleeker setup
So the right build 
???
Let's be real, a halfway decent meleeker setup is a lot further along than most randoms
You're talking about melee psyker. Yes, melee psyker is tanky.
toughness regen on melee hit
incredibly disengenuous argument
first talent i always take when leveling psyker
It's not, the bar for "half way decent" is disingenuous
halfway decent is a really low bar
whats usually lacking is the skill rather than the build
actually to regen the toughness before getting hit again
which, is still easy enough just smack something
Melee Psyker is more forgiving than Ogryn, Scum, and Vet, easily. Only True Grit Arby and Zealot with Death Defied or whatever up are more forgiving
Than Ogryn?
Yes. Ogryn doesn't have dodge linger.
Yeah, but dodge linger isn't the only metric
And aren't we talking about tankiness, not dodging
Immunity to ranged attacks for 0.25 seconds after dodging is tankiness.
to be fair thats more "survivability"
If we're talking the ability to stand still and get hit repeatedly on H40, then you probably shouldn't be playing H40.
Tankiness to me means how much damage you can sustain, not how much you can avoid. Everyone has dodges, and Ogryn may lack linger but he easily makes up for it with how tanky he is.
arby would win tho
Tankiness in Darktide is not the same as tankiness in other games
Tanking here is avoiding and mitigating damage while drawing aggro from threats
Even accepting that, I think you overvalue the dodge linger.
I absolutely do not
well the original claim was pysker is a win more class
ah so immunity to ranged attacks is not tanky?
Dodge linger works even when out of dodges
and then it was they had less bulk than zealot
It's just a bit of positioning and sliding.
but frankly
if you're trying to facetank shit
everything is winmore
because the second u start losing u start floor cleaning
You can do the same with sliding or a wall
i think they DID try to patch it
The death company marine ive been working on for the past 2 days just had his arms drop off.

But non-Oggy classes have a lot more leeway in that sliding.
ono D:
Lmao
I've never had an issue with it on Oggy
I'm planning on replacing all my boltguns with boltpistols
i might need to buy some more arms
but it's fine
since new deathcompany have heavy bolt pistols
I wasn't gonna replace that one since id spent so much time trying to get his arms nice
but if it's happened
fuck it, may as well LMAO
Bad Ogryns die a as much as bad Psykers in H40, and they usually are less useful before they die
speaking of
roy was a fuckin badass today
right, at which point other classes pull out grenades or abilities. Psyker's output is much more constant, but that means far less burst.
I could just stick the arms back on regardless
me when I press inferno into shriek and do "far less burst" than the vet who presses shout and.... knocks things over for a bit
You're doing that constantly
never did a havoc before, we pull him to an h40, and he did surprisingly fuckin well, didnt die right out the gate, stuck with us
i.e. your output isn't increasing
He didn't die that much at all
ok but outside of like
rocket
and chem i guess
most classes are running the cheap regen nade options
because that's what's best atm
their output isnt really going up either
vet has 4 kraks and they'll kill, 5-6 things at best
zealot has knives and they will just kill specials when they're around
Melee Psyker can do like 15k damage on a a single heavy stab
oggy has either a SINGLE frag or rocks
I mean, the power in shout is it gives you time to do unmitigated dps, no care for defense
i think psyker being constant is better, there is no "save this bomb for when shit gets re--oh no im downed trying to throw the grenade"
sure but psyker is doing that constantly
so vet matches psyker ability for a few seconds
Did you boost someone to H40?!?!?!?1?11
nah
we lost
we didnt get the clear
i recon we could do it tho
he can hold his own
and that's all he needs
It is, but the point I'm making is Psyker is a win-more class more than other classes
frankly
they really aren't tho
arby has an "i cant die" ability
They have so many tools
scum has attack immunity
fuck think about smite
ur getting pushed back
start smiting and u have suddenly brought everyone a huge amoutn of time to do whatever
zealot literally has a "i cant die yet" ability
Right.
Defenses tend to be lose less, so... are you agreeing?
if everyone is defensive, then yeah you can win.... after an hour and a half
just take the permasmyker and be done with it
If the situation is real bad in h40, smite ain't doing any better than trauma, and even worse it makes you incredibly vulnerable while using it. It's not a good panic button imo
the best defense is absurd offense, which psyker has'
I agree
but youre also saying psyker NEEDS a wall of teammates to do so
Well, no
I'd say Vet is the most win-more class. Ogryn is probably the worst. Oggy is basically the same regardless of game state. Veteran with a good team can go wild. Scum as well.
so why the fuck is inferno psyker the best clutch tool ive seen
I'm saying psyker does better with a wall
Unless a rager kills you mid-dodge
so does every ranged class
everyone does better with a wall
melee psyker doesnt care about wall, they ARE the wall
or you cast bb at 97.1
poor vect
he didnt deserve that
Melee psyker isn't psyker, #changemymind
blue magic missle bees
-# for legal reasons, this is a joke
Hhhhmmm? Vet has grenades (shredders specifically, though kraks can come in clutch sometimes) and shout, both of which are very good at turning a bad situation around
Shredders are rarely used anymore
Oggy can turn things around with all of his abilities when they're used right
Haven't seen a shredder vet in months
Have seen one shredder vet in months
would ever run them outside of that
That's fair, I do think they aren't great, but they can absolutely turn a bad situation around. They just suck outside that 
okay so question. I got the force greatsword and like it functionally, why would I not run the regular force sword to have quicker animations ?
damage
its for an inferno build so its RARELY used if at all except to block
u wouldnt
u run regular force sword on inferno
oh okay, you wouldn't
u run fgs on melee setups
Unless you really hate muties
Because the greatsword has better damage and better ADMs and a better special attack.
But you don't use FGS with Inferno
That big a diff? what blessings would yall run ?
but like, bring dueling sword instead
Force Swords
Deimos or Obscurus
uncanny and whatever else
Uncanny + Superiority or Uncanny + Deflector
i dont know if you really care about others
Depends on the goal
doies superiority stack on non melee kills
Dueling Sword is unrivaled in its mutie killing speed with the right blessings/perks
and yeah do NOT use dueling sword on inferno
it blatantly shows you dont know what youre doing
Superiority for making Soulblaze shred crushers, Deflector for survivability
not running dueling sword cause im sick of it period. What do i run on great force sword ? I have deflector and unstable power atm deflector to help with my ranged struggle
Obscurus and Deimos can both easily 1-2 shot H40 muties
Donโt run fgs on inferno
that works but on inferno that will just cause pain
but for melee or such thats perfect
Sure, but speed of 1-shots 
Gotta get that mutie hate cranking
What about EK staff
the reason you want a normal force sword (grab deimos for the best safety), is because of what we call uncanny stacking, via push attack on the crushers
Do you also run normal force sword for it
depends
surge surge i use dueling sword, for mobility really, but might go with obscurus sometimes for flavour
oh shit so I want regular force for inferno?
If you want to make use of uncanny soulblaze
same logic with the vet krak build ?
or deflector
idk exactly what you mean, like, bistol making it work better?
no like you hold out the weapon with the blessings you want while a bleed or something ticks away with that buff
so thats how folks are shredding the walls of rotten armor is doing that after ramping the stacks up ?
push attacks on force weapons are always a weakspot hit
Ive been spamming fire non stop hoping lol
watch the clip and you can see how dom does it
they're auric crushers but its the ssame regardless
do you have his build sheet by chance ?
its likely the one in the guide in the pins
mainly for talents
this thing ?
looks like it
I usually pair EK with FGS
Hmm might hop back on for a bit
FGS gives you horde clear that EK lacks
Plus better armor damage
RMB is decent against crushers and such, but FGS poke is better and faster
i am torn between darktide, vintage story, enshrouded, and burgle
