IDK, but FS seems to like buffing right side.

Just for a file with 600 pages dedicated to it and explaining it.

talent description ingame: "read the guide" with no link to said guide

We deserve it

#

I think it still needs work. I don't think it's quite as good as people think it is, depends on the build of course

#

if you have to keep your peril low to get the stacks up, you are sacrificing damage from e.g. warp rider and unstable power until that

#

the bonuses you get until your stacks are up are pretty weak

narrow herald
#

Am I the only person here who still uses surge staff secondary?

#

Cowards!

#

Come at me

wind spruce
#

Scrier's provides the only actually high skill ceiling peril management

#

You don't have to and shouldn't be keeping it low and impacting warp rider/unstable power

#

The answer has always been bcob + BM + assail weaving during scrier's, not taking KF like a faceroller

※Scenic Muse changes to Starry Muse when requirements for execution are met.

deft stump
#

And then more needed to explain the other stuff?

rigid sky
#

It's actually really easy in practice but the yugioh-ass description makes me laugh

unkempt panther
#

That was a somewhat recent change. Scriers gaze IIRC didn't originally reduce peril.

deft stump
#

Cos what even is Hyperphantasia?

rigid sky
#

Fast cast speed on damage spells that aren't Hammer attacks iirc

deft stump
#

Oh

rigid sky
#

Oh wait that's Inspiration lmao

#

Hyperphantasia is something which determines if you have Inspiration, and if you spend all of them you get Rainbow Bright

#

Easy :D

deft stump
#

Also sounds like some weird translated chinese MMO.

#

It's final fantasy 14

#

New pictomancer class

deft stump
#

Oh.

rigid sky
#

They ran out of ideas and gave most classes an "All Systems Engage" button that activates all of their shit on a 2 minute cooldown

unkempt panther
# rigid sky It's final fantasy 14

Yea, I think this part was the giveaway for anyone who played it:

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
※Scenic Muse changes to Starry Muse when requirements for execution are met.

They do love that symbol.

FFXIV ❤️

rigid sky
#

Encounter design makes up for it imo

deft stump
unkempt panther
#

mm

rigid sky
#

Game is mostly past its peak in a lot of ways

#

But the encounter design has been awesome this expansion

unkempt panther
#

The FFXIV story is maybe my favorite video game story ever, especially Shadowbringers. ❤️ Emet-Selch.

rigid sky
#

Endwanker is excellent too, at least the .0 story

#

Goes downhill fast in the patches

deft stump
#

During bouts of I need more casual games but out of funds for them.

unkempt panther
#

Emet-Selch also has the drip.

deft stump
#

Also every picross app on mobile without a price tag is finished.

rigid sky
#

The latest raid is effectively a pro wrestling homage

#

It's amazing

unkempt panther
rigid sky
#

Complete with commentary

unkempt panther
#

Most fiction writers wish they could write a villain half as compelling as Emet-Selch.

rigid sky
#

One of the bad guys knocks the referee out to avoid getting disqualified for illegal doping midfight

#

It's an entire mechanic

unkempt panther
#

lols

#

And then they like transferred all of the good writers to other projects for the next expansion, Dawntrail. The reviews have made me not yet willing to dish out the money to play it.

rigid sky
#

Gameplay is solid

#

Plot has its moments

#

But it's the weakest FF14 plot by far

unkempt panther
rigid sky
#

Besides maybe the endwanker patches

unkempt panther

#

Just my opinion

unkempt panther
#

heh

rigid sky
#

But I loved stormblood tbh

unkempt panther
#

#

It's the fuck-the-empire story

#

Very FF6 world-of-balance codes

unkempt panther
#

When I was bored, I would just queue into a bunch of fun primal fights like Titan Ex, Shiva Ex, first Omega,

rigid sky
#

You'd probably like Unreals

unkempt panther
rigid sky
#

Classic raid bosses tuned up to max level with a strict item level sync

unkempt panther
#

Back when men were men, and women were equally awesome, and clearing Titan Ex meant something. The first gate for new players of the game, where you learned to gid good or go home. Dodge or die.

rigid sky
#

Awful design, especially with pre-HW euro latency lmao

unkempt panther
#

lmfao

rigid sky
#

But still hype as fuck

#

I liked Sephirot as a similar concept

unkempt panther
#

But genestealers for this game when? And when chaos space marine miniboss?

#

I know the answer is probably never for the nids, but chaos space marine boss could happen.

still spindle
#

For the very first time ever, melk has actually given me a good item

#

-# This is only the second +17% toughness curio I've ever seen

deft stump
#

On a class with 7 +3 stams.

still spindle
deft stump
#

I need more 21% hp damnit.

still spindle
#

I have yet to see a +21% hp

deft stump
#

So I have at least 3.

still spindle
#

My current HP curio is 20%

deft stump
#

That class specifically only has 1 21%.

#

3x 17%, 1 21%, 7+3 stam (410+).

#

And I nuked over 100k melkbux to gamble.

#

Good thing you can totally run 3x toughness or 1 stam 2 toughness.

So you need to technically go over 100%.

and no xp cause i keep getting dced right as a mission ends

#

but yeah one game 29/50 for that

#

id fuckin LOVE mk8 as a skin on mk6 ngl

fierce frost
#

What’s the verdict on Wildfire as a talent for Purg staff builds? Does it go as crazy as Perilous Combustion?

zealous wing
#

basically a requirement

#

if you want fire go brr on fire build

fierce frost
#

Does it overcap stacks like perilous combustion?

zealous wing
#

@ripe obsidian

ripe obsidian
#

eek

#

Wildfire has never been bad.

fierce frost
#

Would you drop Malefic Momentum, Empyric Shock, or Vulnerable Minds for it? I have Just a Dream too but I like that because im bad at the game

ripe obsidian
#

Wildfire is a combination talent that requires other talents to work well, but if you have them, it's wild

ripe obsidian
#

And absolutely drop Empyric Shock and Malefic Momentum.

deft stump
fierce frost
#

Okay yeah that’s what im running

ripe obsidian
#

Yes, what Karien said

deft stump
#

You also want creeping flames vent.

fierce frost
#

Should I drop both Shock & Momentum? Only other talent I think I’d grab is Mettle

zealous wing
#

grab mettle

fierce frost
zealous wing
#

you should already have mettle

fierce frost
#

Going for ASS & Havoc

zealous wing
#

and perfect timing

deft stump
fierce frost
#

This is the build so far

#

I have 1 point left

zealous wing
#

drop battle med, grab KF, grab mettle

fierce frost
#

I’m trying to be extra safe bc again im bad at the game

zealous wing
#

kinetic flayer

#

JaD on non-SG builds makes me sad.

sage plaza
#

zealous wing
#

also true

#

oh god

#

drop JAD grab SANCTUARY

sage plaza
#

Quick question: which BFS is best for Havoc, Illisi or Deimos?

zealous wing
#

of the two, deimos

fierce frost
zealous wing
#

scriers

fierce frost
#

Ohhh

ripe obsidian
#

JaD kills me so much when I use it

Yeah JaD goes crazy on that

sage plaza

#

because illisi is sad

sage plaza
#

lol

deft stump
#

L1 H2 spam.

ripe obsidian
deft stump
#

Than Obscurus.

#

Which are both better than illisi.

fierce frost
#

Why are we down on Empyric Shock?

sage plaza
#

damn

deft stump
#

Especially if running a horde clear staff.

verbal thistle
#

Obscurus

#

Mobile moment

sage plaza
fierce frost
#

I also hear mixed things on KF. I love it when it procs on Crushers, everything else I feel like doesn’t need it with Purg

ripe obsidian
#

Who in tarnation is saying mixed things about KF

verbal thistle
#

It's a free 100% uptime 2k damage every 12 sec

zealous wing
#

or more

verbal thistle
#

That kills all specials bar 2

ripe obsidian
#

Not even accounting for the chain reaction elements of KF+PC, it's easily a 10% total damage boost

deft stump
marble crater
fierce frost
#

im coming back after being away for a lil while

deft stump
fierce frost
#

I think the last real talent decision I have then is Mettle vs Empyric Shock. ES feels like easy to proc damage buff. Mettle gives lots of move speed. The toughness feels way weaker than before since it’s ~3% per second now, when I also have Soul Drinker giving the same but with Crit Chance

sage plaza
#

Another question: is Malefic Momentum worth it for Havoc?

#

My havoc build is a soulblaze one, PC+Souldrinker+Wildfire+Purg staff

wind spruce
ripe obsidian
wind spruce
#

If youre weaving assail in it can get value

sage plaza
#

Ohhhh ok, I can see that.

#

Ok good.

wind spruce
sage plaza
#

I don't let my peril sit high, I tend to yoyo peril.

ripe obsidian
#

I kinda conflate meleeker with FGS at this point

wind spruce
#

Soulblaze and KF alone doesnt keep the non-warp damage up

#

So its really only juice for PC procs, KF and FGS special

sage plaza
#

Wrap Rider or Vulnerable Minds?

wind spruce
#

Warp rided

#

Rider*

sage plaza
#

Also for Havoc, which one:
-Anticipation
-Just A Dream
-One With the Warp

wind spruce
#

One with the warp

#

Anticipation is hard to judge, its very dependant on personal preference and skill

#

Great node but some dont feel they need it, others find it comfy because dodges are goated, and others are so goated at utilising dodges, slides etc that they take for extra utility

sage plaza
#

ok thx

#

What’s the thoughts on PotS for Purg staff builds??

verbal thistle
#

Not worth

#

If you want rending use uncanny

fierce frost
#

I have uncanny on the Bfs

#

Just wondering if PotS is worth stacking.

verbal thistle
#

No

ripe obsidian
#

PotS is not good on Inferno.

Nope

what some weapons i can use to level my psyker if im level 5?

Whatever you like it

sage pulsar
sage pulsar
#

no trouble. like I said that build bonanza document is pretty damn huge, so if you got questions don't be afraid to ask. People'll generally be happy to help

#

personally when I leveled psyker I went with Hexis's Auric Gunker as it's called in the doc (or berpsyker as it's called elsewhere). It's a real fun build if you like the melee aspect of this game

zealous wing
deft stump
#

That, and I wouldn't suggest them till you can access like 3/4th the talent tree anyway.

#

Some key nodes make playing them easier or more comfortable imo.

#

At lvl 16~, you can switch to a meleeker if so wished, investing into an FGS if you roll a good one by some stroke of luck plus a ton of tanky nodes in the center lets you do silly things even as a newbie. This is more of if you understand how to do melee combat as a squishy tbh, cos you are still kinda paper.

#

I'm also assuming you are playing in malice maybe heresy at that point.

zealous wing
# loud olive what some weapons i can use to level my psyker if im level 5?

as karien said, assail will do a lot of heavy lifting for you, good for horde clearing assist. the blaze force sword deimos will be good for protecting you against armour, i do suggest the force greatsword once you hit lvl 10. as for ranged, laspistol, reconlas, or infantry autogun are good guns to learn and begin leveling the mastery of if you dont have it maxed yet. i suggest against staves until about lvl 25 so you have a decent spread of talents, but feel free to experiment with them, be warned they are peril hungry though

#

and, unleveled staves will perform underwhelmingly, but learning to aim/control them or just see how they work might interest you, up to you

foggy adder
#

do yall prefer the brittleness on the inferno staff

zealous wing
#

no

#

blaze away and nexus

rich spindle
#

It’s a good pick for rotten armor

bleak frost
#

so I'm assisting a few friends in leveling up, they're new players. I would like to submit this as "fun as heck" - build. everything is on fire and I will not be stopped. (not optimized I know, just fun to light enemies on fire)

zealous wing
#

actually almost perfect reconlas

#

few small things but it definitely will function

#

dumdum infernus is indeed what goes on it

#

and 12 is the right mark

bleak frost
#

Oh I know. I just tweaked it around a bit to light everything on fire. Normally I have maniac and flak but swapped crit chance for more fire.

zealous wing
#

ye it works, even tho its crit rate is already really good, its fine lol

#

more ammo efficient

#

but, i suspect the magdumping will be real kek

bleak frost
#

I'm playing uprisings and malice missions. so i can goof off a bit.

#

mainly I use smite to lock enemies in place so they can get the kills.

Or like particularly butt-molestery hoards.

#

Y’all ever play a friggin uprising mission and get a plague ogryn DURING the boss fight?! Because I just did.

zealous wing
#

was it event

bleak frost
#

Yes.

zealous wing
#

thats why

#

its a little bit of havoc in normal missions

#

Neat. My buddy was freaked out 😂 I was playing my hive scum and we had a rando ogryn in our party.

Shout out rando ogryn for being a survivor!

Bonus, they were somehow silent.

And actually butt molestingback uhhh chopping you.

you HAVE to fight those

Very funni to watch.

I only found out because penetrating shot killed all three at once. Eula_Stare

Thought the sound system was karked again, nope, just 3x trappers and 3x nets shot at the exact same time at me.

plucky flax

Only 3? I've seen 4 at once

sharp shoal
#

ive seen 4 at once

#

xD

deft stump
#

Yes, the game said fuck you.

#

Is why I keep saying they broke the specials on lower diffs.

#

I don't think 3 trappers nor 4 dogs on uprising seem correct, and there were other spawns as well.

#

Seen up to 3 muties at once as well.

you can poke a captain with mark 2 stealth zealot

well the thing

#

greatswords dont weigh as much as people think

zealous wing
#

plus, warp

crisp ether
#

A rapier one handed is more unwieldy than a greatsword two-handed lol

zealous wing
#

psyker greatswords are also developed to be lighter for psykers

verbal thistle
#

it would seem so, but if the electrocution dot kills then no

sage plaza
#

TYSM!

#

That's unfortunate, but still, Charged Strike on the Illisi FS is actually surprisingly useful.

#

Not Havoc useful, but enough to make it a reliable backup melee weapon.

#

Context: running it on my Smite + electrostaff casual build.

rich spindle
#

not the heavy

verbal thistle
#

Electrocution isn't a warp attack

#

If the heavy was a warp attack then it would

#

Ie a force sword special

rich spindle
#

i see

#

I wonder if the melee part of the fgs slash counts as warp

verbal thistle
#

No it's not

#

Only the special

rich spindle
#

this is so sad

verbal thistle
#

Comboes too well with MM

#

It's so strong

rich spindle
#

yeah just constant one feeding the other

#

they gotta nerf the slice to make the 1h swords a little closer in power

#

would be cool if it was a single target nuke

sage plaza
#

Nah, keep the FGS slice power,

#

make the one-handed swords a tad stronger.

#

If anything gets changed at all, that is.

The 1 handed are already too strong

which curios should psyker be using?

ornate hamlet

I use 1 health and 2 toughness with 3 toughness, 3 health and gunner/flamer/bomber perks

jade karma
#

is voidstrike good for power cell assistance

viscid matrix
#

If not doing havoks, throw curio reward on, so you can try and get the 21% hp or 17% toughness base

quartz barn
#

But if you want crowd control just use voidblast or smite

my fav forcesword is deimos don't know why i use it more then obscurus ord illisi

tranquil sluice
#

apparently everyone says psyker is the strongest class atm, how does the psycho community feel about this news

tacit stump
#

try meeleker or gunker, or burn everything down with the inferno staff

#

then you know why

tranquil sluice
#

psyker was my first class, but it quickly became a class i never played, it was so vulnerable, also fell in love with the veteran weapons, plasma and bolter.

#

then i mained ogryn for the whole patch after it got a big buff.

psyker became my favorite at release because i got to skip shooter engagements so i can get back to the fun part faster

#

unarmored and flak?

Does the blessing only take effect when they are put on a weapon ?

marble crater

Yes

sly raft
#

So when i level up the blessings in masteries it's just to be able to put on the tier and higher tiers of that blessing?

deft stump
#

In a way, is better than straight up needing to gamble.

sly raft

I see, makes sense now xD I hope i will be able to max out the blessing i need now then

You get all at 20.

Nice. Good to know

guys any idea what curio i should use on psyker like i got two rn one with + toughness and one with + wound just dont know what i should get for the third one , any suggestion

sinful olive
calm gazelle
#

ohhh i see i may as well just use one +wound to make it more forgiving lmao

#

No

#

Wound could be replaced by something that makes you tougher

deft stump
#

Unless you are doing stupid crystalline will suisyker things.

wooden sand
#

Wound is worse in general

deft stump
#

But then again, that's a meme build.

wooden sand
#

It's only good for one specially zealot type of build

#

Which is having low health and being a god

And mind you, I run +9 stam when doing dumb things.

wound curios are for martyr zealot

So ppl can't complain about your build as much

strange igloo
#

but I always run bubble kek

manic bluff
#

so, after some extensive testing: "Kinetic Flayer" does NOT count for any penances involving Brainburst

strange igloo
#

I need to make a brainburst only build

manic bluff
#

yeah ... quite a few penances required

#

and that makes the poxhoudn one sound like it will be luck based

strange igloo
#

its great at killing elites

ruby bloom
#

Lowkey bubble is just the solo queue experience

#

It lets you play exactly how you’re not supposed to

#

How do you get sainted weapons

jovial juniper
#

Mod

marble crater
#

Install the mod that makes that purely cosmetic change KEKW_ogryn

manic bluff
#

honestly it is dumb that the brainburst penances do not work with the automatic one.... feels super clunky to play without it

#

kinda like pre skilltree psyker

still spindle
#

I imagine the auto brain burst probably has some tracking issues, it might very well be that kills from kinetic flayer go to the weapon that triggered the kinetic flayer

#

And trying to fix that is a level of hassle that's not worth it

manic bluff
#

possible. i thought the tracking coudl be tied to the trigger of the brainburst from kinetic flayer. but i am no programmer ^^'

still spindle
#

Probably helps a lot when kinetic flayer triggers in a case when the target would have died anyway. I've noticed that it's actually fairly good at not triggering like that but sometimes it does

#

Also, I just imagined a fun world where kinetic flayer actually interacts with empowered psionics, giving melee builds an actual reason to consider picking it over disrupt destiny

#

-# I feel like I never see anyone running empowered psionics

verbal thistle
#

It does

#

EP buffs KF but doesn't take a stack away when used

#

People don't use EP because they don't know how to use it/what's the best case for it

#

I used EP BB for my Havoc 40 duo

manic bluff
#

good to know ^^

#

so EP KF-BB Great Sword does work?

verbal thistle
#

Depends on how you are going to use it

#

Destiny does alot for great sword

#

But if you are more inclined to a passive role EP would help BB more since great sword wouldn't be used as much

#

Or if you aren't comfortable with keeping up destiny stacks

#

With my playstyle it wouldn't help as much

#

Since I am hyper agro and always in front of my enemy and keeping up my destiny stacks

#

For a melee focus build, assail EP would be a better job then EP BB

#

With its good synergy with a few talents

manic bluff
#

i think my current melee build is essail ep

verbal thistle
#

You made me think of a new build idea

#

Illisi force sword with EP BB to make up for its lack of single target

manic bluff
#

How do you have the shotgun built? I generally prefer my laspistol for the longer range but I do like my unga bunga shotgun ape builds

cosmic sigil
#

I use kf + fgs + shredder/laspistol... But more shredder atm, laspistol is a bit unhinged.

#

For db I use man stopper + fléchette / or the crit blessing with a deimos and perilous combustion

#

Basically you point in one direction, you shout, you proce KF, you start stacking sb and you pump them with uncanny and slaughterer

#

The spread is so large that you can just counter snipe snipers... I have done that at the end of consignment yard without even aiming

#

I don't use pc with the fgs tho. I need the peril cleave talent

still spindle
#

I mean that's very similar to what I run myself Foxy_Hehe

I swap Quietude, Perilous Combustion, and Malefic Momentum for Immaterial Focus, Just a Dream, and Emphatic Evasion

#

Does Malefic Momentum work with the FGS's cleave?

cosmic sigil
#

It's a warp attack so it should

still spindle
#

I never actually considered it

#

Not sure I would want it, the uncharged cleave is for stuns not damage, and the fully charged one is usually the last thing I do

cosmic sigil
#

I like quietude because with gaze it's a constant stream of tg but maybe I should put that point elsewhere

still spindle
#

It's a great perk! I just feel it's kinda redundant

cosmic sigil
#

Kf proces mm too

still spindle
#

Warp Expenditure, Mettle, Sciers, and DD are already giving toughness regen (with warp expenditure having instant toughness, which is really nice)

#

I have my hud configered to have a bar for toughness that's blue when full and red when anything but full so I know when I can get hit in melee without health loss

#

And from just those 4 it's usually just fine

cosmic sigil
#

Yeah quietude is probably overkill tbh

#

As long as you kill

#

But you can use it in between fights. And it's nice to have in gas.

still spindle
#

I mean if you're not killing you have sciers, and if that isn't enough I'm not sure quietude would help

#

Fair

#

I refuse to play without Emphatic Evasion (Yes, it is a skissue), just a dream is just always nice to have, and Immaterial Focus's stun immunity is fucking clutch

cosmic sigil
#

I should probably not take it and try another talent.

#

Yeah immaterial focus is probably what I would take

#

I dropped EE

still spindle
#

When blocking turns into peril, being at crit peril is usually a sign that now would be a really bad time to get stunned

#

And damage resist will never not be nice

cosmic sigil
#

Yeah, I'll drop quietude.

still spindle
#

Oh and I take warp speed instead of warp unbound because I'm a speed addict who cannot run slower than 10m/s

#

-# Warp unbound is absolutely the correct choice, I just love my speed

cosmic sigil
#

There's an argument for that with the fgs but I'd rather take anticipation

still spindle
#

I wish I had the extra point for anticipation on my build, but honestly I'm not sure what to drop and I've gotten used to it

#

This is what I'm kicking around with

cosmic sigil
#

Well i actually I just realized something

#

With deimos and and kf I don't need warp unbound

still spindle
#

I will warn you it takes some getting used to Foxy_Hehe

#

A number of deaths have occured from forgetting about warp unbound no longer being there

cosmic sigil
#

Well, I don't use special and brain rupture actively

still spindle
#

Being able to force push after sciers or warp slash is nice

cosmic sigil
#

So the only moment I risk exploding is by blocking at high peril

#

Yeah but that's with the fgs

still spindle
#

True

#

I play too much FGS Foxy_Hehe

cosmic sigil
#

So with the fgs, ok totally valid to take it

#

But with the deimos I can sometimes keep 100% uptime on gaze..

#

And so I can put that point in warp speed now hin hin

still spindle
#

-# I say while running FGS without warp unbound

cosmic sigil
#

I have another build to test. I drop pc and uncanny and go slaughterer superiority

dull scroll
#

you can't blow up by blocking

#

you can if you force push 😒

cosmic sigil
#

I use KD

dull scroll
#

don't worry about it that thing doesn't blow you up

cosmic sigil
#

Ahhhh

#

Fuck it's because i push out of habit

dull scroll
#

you can still first stage push with no prob

#

but if you greed to second stage

cosmic sigil
#

Yeah, with that build i totally do not need unbound

A full team of smykers

#

Without EP

#

nah a full team of smykers would somehow have fun staring at things frozen in place for 2 hours

(in my opinon)

zealous wing
#

then its not a psyker problem

#

its a player problem

crisp ether
#

That's a player/build problem

zealous wing
#

psyker is fuckin GREAT at killing crusher

crisp ether
#

Meleeker fucking nukes crushers.

zealous wing
#

and inferno, if they're good

#

at the very least if they have deimos

vague musk
#

yeah but you need someone built for it on the team lol

zealous wing
#

what did you get stuck with

vague musk
#

Im a weird hybrid with smiker and melee, one person was flame, and another person was lightning staff

zealous wing
#

ah

vague musk
#

and there was one vet bot

zealous wing
#

EK doesnt have terrible TTK on crushers

#

not great

#

but inferno can fuckin SHRED armour blobs

#

smite, well

#

it exists

#

sadly

#

FGS wrecks crushers

vague musk
#

smite is just really nice for the crusher waves I keep getting

zealous wing
#

its a good reposition tool

#

usually though, people spam it the entire match and think they're helping

vague musk
#

plus being able to hold off maulers while the rest of the team focuses a boss is nice

zealous wing
#

flashbacks to the smyker who was smiting the boss, and didnt even have enfeeble kek

#

bro HAD weapons, but decided nah the 15dmg per tick was good

sharp shoal
#

Lol

vague musk
zealous wing
#

lol

vague musk
#

for a single boss at least

zealous wing
#

no its a joke about smykers

#

they just, use smite, and pretty much only smite, thats what smykers mean

#

if they have it, its being used

#

40k damage in an auric HISTG is impressive, but not in the way they think kek

#

but, usually they have enfeeble for the "support" role they think they're filling

#

this one didnt, and still thought smiting the boss would work? i guess?

vague musk
#

wait someone somehow only got 40k damage with smite??

zealous wing
#

i mean, when you have a couple competent players, things dont live long anyway

vague musk
#

I think ive got up to like 700k in auric lol

zealous wing
#

i cant recall if i was on meleeker or blazing trauma

vague musk
#

I would like to do havoc but dont like the party system

sage pulsar
#

as one of my favourite psyker lines tells me to do

kill!... kill kill KILL KILL KILL kill kill

zealous wing
#

they also did die, a lot

zealous wing
#

the truest words

#

if i go on malice, i HAVE to be on a crackhead build now or i just, cant function

vague musk
#

should I take 20% ogryn damage or 10% damage resist

zealous wing
#

that single stalker will throw me off and still stab me, somehow

deft stump
vague musk
#

I wonder if I could somehow make a dumb thing where its just about keeping peril as much as I can

zealous wing
#

i just need to figure out if i want to keep using knife on my fidget build loregryn

i am having fun with knife+assail, but knife is only good boss DPS on burgles

thats a key part of psyker

high peril, high damage

I might just still be scarred from when I was a young psyker

vague musk
#

even though I literally cant overload

zealous wing
deft stump
#

You can't mess it up.

#

Slowly go higher.

I just usually like it low for if I need to smite a hoard or something

psyker is just squishy

#

kinda

#

but some of the best toughness regen

vague musk
#

I havent done zealot in a while

#

also I still hold firm that arb is just short orgyn

zealous wing
#

minus the taunt

#

pulling aggro is much harder as arby

vague musk
#

arb is really good at clutches

zealous wing
#

plus higher damage output

zealous wing
#

arby can just ignore things that should have killed them

#

ie, the game flat out trying to kill them because they're going where they shouldn't

#

but psyker also gets away with a LOT of bullshit kek

#

just gotta know how things work

sage pulsar
#

I like inferno slightly more but only cause I'm lazy and like the flamethrower

zealous wing
#

i liked it for a while, then i learned how to aim VB

#

its over

#

though rending trauma on my fidget build has also proven useful enough, i wish i could make it blazing without sacrificing the ability to go full trauma psyker if needed

#

just too many point sacrifices i'd have to make to grab PC and wildfire

sage pulsar

So for warp ghost, does the +25% toughness replenishment apply to all ways to regain toughness or only coherency regen?

Anyone have any good Psyker builds for crowd control?

#

Or boss killer?

still spindle
#

Depends on the direction you would wanna go

Generally murder is a fairly effective form of crowd control, so something like Inferno or electro staves would be a good start

If you were thinking more classic CC, Smite is probably the go to, but you just need to be careful to remember that smite is a tool, not a weapon

#

Melee with FGS or Illisi would be your melee crowd clearers

levelling as psyker can be a pain in the ass because non-maxed staves feel kinda rough to use

if your fundamentals are already solid you can just crutch on assail to carry you through auric and below because it kills everything except carapace, then after you hit lv30 you can get some good staves and use them

am I reading this right, that it lowers passive Quell by 80%?

this isn't some weird "-80% is actually good because of math" situation?

its passive quelling decrease, so its easier to stay higher

#

favors non staff focus builds

tropic bobcat

i see

#

so if I wanted to Ticklefingers most effectively

#

is there a preferred setup?

#

to accompany that?

verbal thistle
#

effective in what way?

#

smite is really only good for stagger to reposition

tropic bobcat
#

LIke... Have it up and effective when we get those massive hordes and trappers are hiding in them

verbal thistle
#

then not using smite

#

assail would do that way better

#

or 2 of the 4 staffs

tropic bobcat
#

but... Ticklefingers!

#

maybe I should just stick to Dogman

verbal thistle
#

there might be a smite build in the guide

#

but I personally don't recommend smite to anyone

#

but play what you find fun

tropic bobcat
#

Hm. Maybe that's why I never made it work

#

cus it's... not good haha

verbal thistle
#

if you are using it to horde clear there is an issue

tropic bobcat
#

not clear

verbal thistle
#

but to stagger a armor horde to reposition is a whole other thing

tropic bobcat
#

just disrupt

#

I don't expect it to kill

#

I just want to nullify all the ragers and dogs and trappers

#

trappers can go kick sand

i want to train my Dog to pull nets off me

do you potentially have the build for this? I need to do that assail penance

zealous wing
#

i have two versions of it, one more serious and one more for the memes

uncut heron
#

id like the serious one so I can grind quickly

#

thanks

zealous wing
#

kk

#

alternatively, swap keystones for slightly more usable (last image), though both function decently in auric, depends on skill but its crazy fun

#

i call it my fidget build

#

the rending trauma is mainly the "oh shit" stick, for carapace, armour, and a bit too much of a horde/out of assail for the horde, or shooting in a straight line, knife is mainly mobility but light spam on a horde with assail weaving also works nicely

uncut heron

unkempt panther
# elfin dirge Is the lightning hands ability good at both elites and chaff like a middle groun...

Electric hands aka smite, by itself aka without empowered psionics keystone, is sometimes (rarely) useful as an emergency CC. It does very poor damage.

With empowered psionics, it does moderate damage, enough that you can clear the horde, but there are probably quicker ways to clear the horde.

Many / most teammates will hate you for running smite especially if you frequently use RMB to stun the whole screen because 1- it will slow down the run compared to other builds, and 2- it makes the game too easy in some ways. Most people dont just want to slap a stunned mob like they’re in the psykanium.

Also, relying on RMB smite to stun (and slowly kill) thr whole screen will make you a bad player. You won’t learn to block, dodge, slide, etc, aka engage with the core mechanics of the game, so on any other builds, you’ll be at a great disadvantage because you haven’t learned the game.

Plus the ranged stagger potential on LMB which is now finally a safe option vs poxbursters again, after the flayer buffs

unkempt panther

I honestly don't know what I would do with inferno staff if I was in charge, I'd probably first listen to a bunch of havoc 40 players, as well as players stuck in damnation, for their opinions, as well as look at gameplay.

Even when I spam assail, I feel like I do that better on warp siphon.

although BB EP spam on crushers is oddly enticing, but that’s probably not worth the investment, and I wonder if you can even one shot them to make it remotely worth it.

I guess I wish EP was a little stronger for assail, is all, dunno. Personal wish. Not very important in terms of pressing issues in the game. I suspect EP for BB should be a little better too, but I have a lot less experience with that.
Whenever I try to make a simple malefic momentum (sp) build for melee + assail, it just never feels good with EP, IMHO. Always feels better with disrupt destiny or warp siphon.
