SG's description will be novel length by 2028
They need to add a manual just for SG.
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
I want an attack speed buff thrown in there
We deserve it
And the guide is just hidden in the files somewhere random.
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
Am I the only person here who still uses surge staff secondary?
Cowards!
Come at me
Assail weave largely solves over-quelling with bcob
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
Friggin Starry Sky Motif level shit
Render a star streaming sky over a magicked landscape, increasing damage dealt by self and nearby party members by 5%.
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Grants Subtractive Spectrum
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: Grants Inspiration and 5 stacks of Hyperphantasia
Stacks of Hyperphantasia are consumed upon casting certain spells while under the effect of Inspiration.
Duration: 30s
Inspiration Effect: Reduces cast time and recast time of Star Prism and Aetherhue spells by 25% while standing within the bounds of the magicked landscape
Effect expires when all stacks of Hyperphantasia are consumed.
Additional Effect: Grants Rainbow Bright upon consuming all 5 stacks of Hyperphantasia
Rainbow Bright Effect: Rainbow Drip can be cast immediately and has a reduced recast timer
Additional Effect: Grants Starstruck
Duration: 20s
Can only be executed while a starry sky is painted on the Landscape Canvas.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
※Scenic Muse changes to Starry Muse when requirements for execution are met.
And then more needed to explain the other stuff?
It's actually really easy in practice but the yugioh-ass description makes me laugh
That was a somewhat recent change. Scriers gaze IIRC didn't originally reduce peril.
Cos what even is Hyperphantasia?
Fast cast speed on damage spells that aren't Hammer attacks iirc
Oh
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
Also sounds like some weird translated chinese MMO.
Oh.
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
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.
Their class balancing has been downhill for a while now, steadily removing all differentiation between classes, which made me sad.
FFXIV ❤️
Sounds boring.
Encounter design makes up for it imo
Thing is, I played shitty mobile Chinese MMOs that uses it as well.
mm
Game is mostly past its peak in a lot of ways
But the encounter design has been awesome this expansion
The FFXIV story is maybe my favorite video game story ever, especially Shadowbringers. ❤️ Emet-Selch.
During bouts of I need more casual games but out of funds for them.
Emet-Selch also has the drip.
Also every picross app on mobile without a price tag is finished.
all of Arcadia? I linked above "Everything Burns" which is one of the raid songs, because we like fire here in psyker central.
Complete with commentary
All 12 fights of it
Most fiction writers wish they could write a villain half as compelling as Emet-Selch.
One of the bad guys knocks the referee out to avoid getting disqualified for illegal doping midfight
It's an entire mechanic
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.
I have no doubt. ❤️ FFXIV.
Besides maybe the endwanker patches
Like worse than the slow parts of Stormwind? That's brutal.
Just my opinion
heh
But I loved stormblood tbh
stormblood*
When I was bored, I would just queue into a bunch of fun primal fights like Titan Ex, Shiva Ex, first Omega,
You'd probably like Unreals
#ffxiv #omega #monsterhunter #mhwilds
Classic raid bosses tuned up to max level with a strict item level sync
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.
Awful design, especially with pre-HW euro latency lmao
lmfao
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.
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
He gave me a +3 stam.
On a class with 7 +3 stams.

I need more 21% hp damnit.
I have yet to see a +21% hp
So I have at least 3.
My current HP curio is 20%
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.
wat be the difference between mk 8 fgs and the skin in store
ok how does blessed by fate work cause ive used psykinetics wrath at 100% peril and havent got one bit of progress
That 1% HP is make or break. I'd never be caught dead with a 20% HP peasant.
I would rather cut my belly than bestow upon my family the deep shame of equipping a less-than-21% health curio in DarkTide(TM)
roy also was confused, so you might be too. you might mean:
its not FGS, its illisi
You gotta be mid exploding animation
oohhhhh thanks
Oh shi thanks I thought it was fgs lol
You need to use it when your char puts their hands to their face.
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
two FGS skins in such a short time? nah you'd hear me screaming
id fuckin LOVE mk8 as a skin on mk6 ngl
What’s the verdict on Wildfire as a talent for Purg staff builds? Does it go as crazy as Perilous Combustion?
Does it overcap stacks like perilous combustion?
@ripe obsidian
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
Wildfire is a combination talent that requires other talents to work well, but if you have them, it's wild
Which others?
And absolutely drop Empyric Shock and Malefic Momentum.
PC+Running Inferno staff or Blazing Trauma.
Okay yeah that’s what im running
Yes, what Karien said
You also want creeping flames vent.
Should I drop both Shock & Momentum? Only other talent I think I’d grab is Mettle
grab mettle
This is for a bubble build
you should already have mettle
Going for ASS & Havoc
and perfect timing
Then yeah, only those two staves. With Vent, you can maybe use EK as well.
drop battle med, grab KF, grab mettle
I’m trying to be extra safe bc again im bad at the game
kinetic flayer
JaD on non-SG builds makes me sad.
^
Quick question: which BFS is best for Havoc, Illisi or Deimos?
of the two, deimos
What’s SG?
scriers
Scrier's Gaze
Ohhh
JaD kills me so much when I use it
Yeah JaD goes crazy on that
Because it's stronger?
No, easier.
because illisi is sad
lol
L1 H2 spam.
Illisi wishes it were FGS. Deimos pokes crushers and makes them fall on their butts.
Why are we down on Empyric Shock?
damn
Especially if running a horde clear staff.
Obscurus
Obscurus
Mobile moment
Ok yeah that makes sense.
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
Who in tarnation is saying mixed things about KF
It's a free 100% uptime 2k damage every 12 sec
or more
That kills all specials bar 2
Not even accounting for the chain reaction elements of KF+PC, it's easily a 10% total damage boost
Just take it, always funny to run off and somehow still be killing things.
People in the past, I wonder if new players sometimes stumble across old posts from before the rework(s) and then think it's bad, because the new players don't know it was changed
im coming back after being away for a lil while
It's literally just free BB every 12 secs on anything that isn't chaff or a boomer.
Yeah im going to add it after your guys’ input
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
Another question: is Malefic Momentum worth it for Havoc?
My havoc build is a soulblaze one, PC+Souldrinker+Wildfire+Purg staff
Pretty low value more often than not
On Assail Meleeker, great. On non-Assail FGS meleeker, quite good. On anything else... iffy.
If youre weaving assail in it can get value
Even on non-assail meleeker id only take it wih FGS
I don't let my peril sit high, I tend to yoyo peril.
I kinda conflate meleeker with FGS at this point
Soulblaze and KF alone doesnt keep the non-warp damage up
So its really only juice for PC procs, KF and FGS special
Wrap Rider or Vulnerable Minds?
Also for Havoc, which one:
-Anticipation
-Just A Dream
-One With the Warp
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
ok thx
And some take it cos 300 ping ??? extra dodge might save me thing. Also the same reason for the nodes on arby and ganger.
Very true
1 more chance at gambling, lul.
What’s the thoughts on PotS for Purg staff builds??
No
PotS is not good on Inferno.
The 6 is ugly and the icefall is cool but I like shiny blades
Auric Storm Survivors?
You guys are telling me I need to use that title, isn't it?
I am inside the box
Tertium soapbox races are next week
It's fixed
what some weapons i can use to level my psyker if im level 5?
Whatever you like it
if you want some build advice for leveling psyker I'd suggest looking in the (pretty massive) google doc and going to the 'for new psykers' section. It has some nice builds (and thus weapons) to use for leveling
thank you
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
i am midmission atm but i can answer questions soon
Just take assail and use it as primary alongside a melee you are comfortable with. Maybe a gun if you started as vet first. Staves are awful till you max them out for most part.
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.
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
do yall prefer the brittleness on the inferno staff
It’s a good pick for rotten armor
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)
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
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.
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 
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.
Hi Sparkheads
did I do something wrong?
I know I like it when I get my name on the "- killed xyz" so I figure other people do as well...
Played with a arbites today
Who didn't have dog and didn't attack any boss and killed feed 100% of the lobby said they killed the bosses
its mainly the smite part, but as long as youre not freezing the entire map all the time, letting them learn how to fight things, its likely not an issue
on another note, i go nyoom
No just when it’s big issues like bulwarks and crushers.
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.
was it event
Yes.
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!
So 6 red stimmed ragers on uprising.
Bonus, they were somehow silent.
And actually butt molestingback uhhh chopping you.
actually smite wouldnt work there
you HAVE to fight those
Thus, actually molested with no way of stopping.
Very funni to watch.
coming back to the game after a while, are the two-handed force swords any good even though they only have 2 dodges now?
Still 3. FS dodge counter terrible.
-1 shown on it.
I swear it used to be 4
Anticipation?
Which of the staves is the worst
Only 2? Seen 3 in one before, very loud and traumatising.
the legs were perfectly in sync like zero indication there are two, so weird xD
I only found out because penetrating shot killed all three at once. 
Thought the sound system was karked again, nope, just 3x trappers and 3x nets shot at the exact same time at me.
Only 3? I've seen 4 at once
It was uprising train.
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.
Cos speeding through trains for 8 mission weeklies and the... no player deaths for 6 missions.
Bots die less than pubs.
I only play sedition. 
Quick question: does Soulstealer trigger when enemies are killed by heavies juiced up by Charged Strike?
relic blade also kills faster
you can poke a captain with mark 2 stealth zealot
and kill em in one hit
in havoc 40 to
fgs should get a momentum hit, no reason i should literally be flying with a large sward
plus, warp
A rapier one handed is more unwieldy than a greatsword two-handed lol
psyker greatswords are also developed to be lighter for psykers
Can I plz get an answer?
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.
wait wouldnt it only proc on the elec dot
not the heavy
Electrocution isn't a warp attack
If the heavy was a warp attack then it would
Ie a force sword special
this is so sad
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
Nah, keep the FGS slice power,
make the one-handed swords a tad stronger.
If anything gets changed at all, that is.
Illisi but with a strike heavy
Well
Weapon wise
2 1 handed weapons
Compete for prime 1 shot mutie deletion
Deimos and heavy sword
which curios should psyker be using?
I use 1 health and 2 toughness with 3 toughness, 3 health and gunner/flamer/bomber perks
is voidstrike good for power cell assistance
Full hp on all or full toughness on all
From there is preference
Gunner
Sniper
Ability
Revive speed
Corruption resist
If not doing havoks, throw curio reward on, so you can try and get the 21% hp or 17% toughness base
I mean you just kill things, so doesnt matter what you use
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
apparently everyone says psyker is the strongest class atm, how does the psycho community feel about this news
try meeleker or gunker, or burn everything down with the inferno staff
then you know why
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.
the council of wizards acknowledges the power they wield
psyker became my favorite at release because i got to skip shooter engagements so i can get back to the fun part faster
first class was zealot
Because it is better single target damage then both
We have so much toughness recovery, the only way we die is when we do something stupid or get 1 shot
Obscurus is better
Probably I forget which is which between obscurus and Deimos
As I never use them
Illisi/ ds4/ knife for life
hope the mk6 knife
has there been any major buff to psyker damage? or is the change just survivability. i always felt super vulnerable in 2025 and earlier
or 24 i guess, did not play psyker in 25
What's the interaction between warp ghost and empryic resolve?
Do the toughness gain modifiers get multiplied with each other, or added/subtracted?
Since we got the full tree we have had great damage
Survivability was lacking, when they reworked the tree, they gave us so many defensive layers and recovery
when did you get the full tree?
Like 2024
Before that is was 3 choices at each level bracket like Vermintide
The tree rework was a massive upgrade to survivability while keeping the damage
was it like that for all classes, or just psyker?
No idea, I only play psyker
quick question, could it be that kinetic flayer brainbursts do not count towards any penance?
i think it counts, it does count toward the 1-shot achivment, but test it in 1 game not using manual burst at all
will do
i use flak and unyielding
Crit + flak
Crits apply an extra sb stack
And ye cara on inferno is a waste because sb has a 0.1 modifier against cara 
You can put stamina and sprint efficiency and still do 2m damage
Does the blessing only take effect when they are put on a weapon ?
Yes
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?
Yes.
In a way, is better than straight up needing to gamble.
I see, makes sense now xD I hope i will be able to max out the blessing i need now then
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
Triple toughness or 1x health 2x toughness is pretty standard. Stamina is somewhat wasted because Warp Ghost is taken by a lot of builds and is a very strong talent which provides stamina.
ohhh i see i may as well just use one +wound to make it more forgiving lmao
I'll say this, Stamina is better than wound and there's a reason you don't run stamina.
Unless you are doing stupid crystalline will suisyker things.
Wound is worse in general
But then again, that's a meme build.
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
martyrdom ogryn 
guess you can't run anything in havoc that isn't bubble because people just assume psyker = bubble
better yet martyrdom gunlugger.

only if it's 0.1% drop chance 430 rating
You can but easier to host your own games
So ppl can't complain about your build as much
I genuinely have never had someone complain about my build
but I always run bubble 
so, after some extensive testing: "Kinetic Flayer" does NOT count for any penances involving Brainburst
I need to make a brainburst only build
yeah ... quite a few penances required
and that makes the poxhoudn one sound like it will be luck based
its great at killing elites
Tru
Lowkey bubble is just the solo queue experience
It lets you play exactly how you’re not supposed to
mfw no balloon 
How do you get sainted weapons
Mod
Install the mod that makes that purely cosmetic change 
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
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
possible. i thought the tracking coudl be tied to the trigger of the brainburst from kinetic flayer. but i am no programmer ^^'
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
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
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
i think my current melee build is essail ep
You made me think of a new build idea
Illisi force sword with EP BB to make up for its lack of single target
glad to help ^^
i am currently doing psyker penances so i am looking for easy ways xD
Good luck, have fun
ty
I stopped using assail on my melee build and I do not miss it. KF + db shotgun is tons of fun
For sure! I've been running KF + Greatsword + Laspistol and it's great
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
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
I mean that's very similar to what I run myself 
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?
It's a warp attack so it should
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
I like quietude because with gaze it's a constant stream of tg but maybe I should put that point elsewhere
It's a great perk! I just feel it's kinda redundant
Kf proces mm too
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
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.
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
I should probably not take it and try another talent.
Yeah immaterial focus is probably what I would take
I dropped EE
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
Yeah, I'll drop quietude.
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
There's an argument for that with the fgs but I'd rather take anticipation
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
Well i actually I just realized something
With deimos and and kf I don't need warp unbound
I will warn you it takes some getting used to 
A number of deaths have occured from forgetting about warp unbound no longer being there
Well, I don't use special and brain rupture actively
Being able to force push after sciers or warp slash is nice
So the only moment I risk exploding is by blocking at high peril
Yeah but that's with the fgs
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
-# I say while running FGS without warp unbound
I have another build to test. I drop pc and uncanny and go slaughterer superiority
I use KD
don't worry about it that thing doesn't blow you up
Yeah, with that build i totally do not need unbound
no
yes, if it kills
is there anything worse then a full team of psykers
wym worse? That's a fucking great time
a full team of inferno psykers
Actually
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
everyone dies so fast and half the time it takes ages to kill a single crusher
(in my opinon)
That's a player/build problem
psyker is fuckin GREAT at killing crusher
Meleeker fucking nukes crushers.
yeah but you need someone built for it on the team lol
what did you get stuck with
Im a weird hybrid with smiker and melee, one person was flame, and another person was lightning staff
ah
and there was one vet bot
EK doesnt have terrible TTK on crushers
not great
but inferno can fuckin SHRED armour blobs
smite, well
it exists
sadly
FGS wrecks crushers
smite is just really nice for the crusher waves I keep getting
its a good reposition tool
usually though, people spam it the entire match and think they're helping
plus being able to hold off maulers while the rest of the team focuses a boss is nice
flashbacks to the smyker who was smiting the boss, and didnt even have enfeeble 
bro HAD weapons, but decided nah the 15dmg per tick was good
Lol
is enfeeble even worth it over a power sword?
lol
for a single boss at least
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 
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?
wait someone somehow only got 40k damage with smite??
i mean, when you have a couple competent players, things dont live long anyway
I think ive got up to like 700k in auric lol
i cant recall if i was on meleeker or blazing trauma
I would like to do havoc but dont like the party system
as one of my favourite psyker lines tells me to do
kill!... kill kill KILL KILL KILL kill kill
they also did die, a lot
havoc quickplay when
couldn't be me
the lone pox walker that spawned in 3ft behind me:
the truest words
if i go on malice, i HAVE to be on a crackhead build now or i just, cant function
should I take 20% ogryn damage or 10% damage resist
that single stalker will throw me off and still stab me, somehow
Somehow 4 hp left?
I wonder if I could somehow make a dumb thing where its just about keeping peril as much as I can
i just need to figure out if i want to keep using knife on my fidget build 
ER + WG :3
i am having fun with knife+assail, but knife is only good boss DPS on burgles
You mean, slowly thrust their guns into you for 90% of your hp
you mean, like, normal psyker gameplay?
you keep your peril high?
stab me with their bayonet, yes
.... yes?
thats a key part of psyker
high peril, high damage
I might just still be scarred from when I was a young psyker
my FGS gives me over 50 peril per stroke
even though I literally cant overload
edge, do it, you can
Just 60-80%.
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
although I do guess I got an garenteed 10s of smite
Smite. 
psyker weak pls buff
takes 1000x as long as a zealot smh
(with a hammer, full momentum, and stealth)
psyker is just squishy
ye thats what I ment
I havent done zealot in a while
also I still hold firm that arb is just short orgyn
arb is really good at clutches
plus higher damage output
its a lower skill floor for it, yeah
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 
just gotta know how things work
blazing trauma is definitely my favourite staff build
I like inferno slightly more but only cause I'm lazy and like the flamethrower
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
Rip
So for warp ghost, does the +25% toughness replenishment apply to all ways to regain toughness or only coherency regen?
every toughness source but coherency
ah neat
Sorry to reply to a message from hours ago but good god trying to go for true survivor with randoms basically requires this. I feel shriek is better in nearly all situations but I do not trust any of these people 
buff psyker
It's like you have to always use bubble to babysit people or they will always die if you run anything else
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
Oh ok appreciate it
Trauma staff builds for CC, check the psyker build list in the pins for good suggestions. The one with warp flurry will allow you to knock crushers over ad infinitum and strip armor. Bubble knight/melee psyker builds fuck bosses up hard.
So fellas im trying to expand my horizons from just vet bc I really love that class but i dont enjoy psyker any tips
grab melee weapon and kill
Oh wow ill just play vet
Why do you think you arent enjoying it?
I will look into that
Dying often? Not doing enough damage? Dont like the staffs?
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
kinda all of that but the dying i know is a skill issue
@spice aurora
lmfao
God losing is so much more fun when you got a good group of people
Me and some randoms kept getting out asses handed to us by getting like 4 bosses at once (only havoc like 17 btw) and their not leaving and being willing to joke about it made it still a fun bunch of rounds!
I’ve never lost a game in my life
honestly yeah
its so much less frustrating than constantly needing to fill the slot with someone else who also refuses to even figure out what went wrong, and how to try again
and, humour about it helps tremendously with it
Same karien always carry
Not ever.
Fun is more important than difficulty level.
I don't carry, you all do.
But all I do is panic or panic harder.
Panikarien
Zealot chat needs to be euthanized
tbf its also annoying when it's someone picking as many straws as they can to excuse and rationalize how something went wrong when it simply is that the game will just kick you in the balls sometimes
And blaming stuff uselessly.
i just won my 90000000000th h40 game in a row
lmao
calculated
i wanna try the suicide whatever crystalline will, any1 tried it yet in havoc can it kill anything
my favorite bible verse
Because a congaline of silent trappers from behind is fair and balanced.
@verbal thistle i dint know u could dodge like this ngl
prolly dont matter cuz u can just jump the window but it looks cool ngl
best i can offer is auric, it works there, hit a rager there with 2 or 3 assail and its killable there as well, so if youre fine chipping them with a bit of damage first its workable
shotgunners in auric get oneshot
havent tested it further
i havent played non havoc in like a year ngl xD
i only do h40s with friends, and dont tend to meme there
i just, dont enjoy havoc much
I'm talking specifically towards teammates.
Not the game.
where is this shooter going
The game just wants to fuck you all over bit though.
So uh... Warp Ghost
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
Gods. I have no clue how to properly Psyker.
It's a meleeker thing.
i see
so if I wanted to Ticklefingers most effectively
is there a preferred setup?
to accompany that?
LIke... Have it up and effective when we get those massive hordes and trappers are hiding in them
there might be a smite build in the guide
but I personally don't recommend smite to anyone
but play what you find fun
if you are using it to horde clear there is an issue
not clear
but to stagger a armor horde to reposition is a whole other thing
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
ye give me a moment
i have two versions of it, one more serious and one more for the memes
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
the two modes 
thank you
hm. ty
i'ma have to study this haha
if you have questions lmk
me, vs dom and barrels

not in that order
more like, dom, then me and barrels
i can thonk real good i promise
So who won the Barrelmancy war?
Oh.
its rare to see dom on anymore so i dont get many chances, and thusly neither does he
Oh well.
Guess they didn't read his thing?
no reply at least
What mod are you using for your buff stacks, the one next to your peril gauge?
Looks like Better Buff Management
yea, Better Buff Management alongside Custom Hud to reposition the bar
My psyker, Larz, has a hotkey now
whenever he is forced into melee with more than 4, or with an elite, I press it...
'HELP! HELP! I’M STABBING!
I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STABBING!'
is that eepy assail?
thanks!
oo okay, thanks! I didn't know about Custom HUD, will look into it
afraid of melee combat in the melee combat game?
can't wait for a new "psykers are bad at melee" reddit post a few weeks from now
I just reset my talent tree but for some reason it’s giving me my old skills from my old talent tree how do I fix it
Make sure your tree is valid. You can make invalid trees now but it won't save.
every tree is valid ❤️
ye
does Penetration of the soul buff smite damage?
What's the point though? You want to do +1 damage to crushers and basically everything else?
oh it only does a little bit more?
first time leveling psyker so idk how the upgrades interact
Smite does basically no damage outside of chaff on low diffs.
PotS is a junk underpowered node as well.
would smite be viable to put into high havoc?
If it's 10% rending above 75% peril.
think its 20% at max
No 
No. You are just gonna be lulled and then get stagger/stun immune stuff and be completely useless and worthless.
im using the builds from this cause ive never played psyker before
Mostly because those ACTUALLY damage ontop of their CC.
got it ill keep that in mind
There are also a lot of up to date builds in the pins here, including one for leveling as psyker (because it's a pain)
Assail is your best friend.
and assail will never leave you
the google doc file is the right one right
ye
It's great on like uprising and malice, decent still after.
okay ill check it out thanks
assail is fuckin great everywhere
which one is the one where im throwing crystals
assail
Damage wise, does fall off, but still staggers and helps with peril juggling.
and still kills
in h40 it hurts a little more, but auric and below its just fine
if it didnt, it wouldnt be run
this clip was empowered psionics yes, but still in auric
assail is just throwing rocks like playing cards lmao
they also follow your crosshair, even after you switch weapons, so you can get real technical with it
and, fidgety
Was more, went from wholesale slaughter to shearing off the edge, if you get what I mean?
DDSG Assail is still nuts
which mod makes it so my status effects are right under my crosshair
Is the lightning hands ability good at both elites and chaff like a middle ground ability, or is it solely good at chaff?
It's bad at killing in general, it's a CC tool mostly
Damn. I was really looking forward to a palpatine build
I take it there’s no psychic ability that’s mediocre at elites and crowds
I mean, try it out see if you find it fun
Well I’m still just a level 1 psyker, just inquiring
Dipping my toe in all the classes as it were
Electrostaves are what you're looking for if you wanna play like palps
And they're the killing version of smite
Quite good! Lots of people run them
Better buff management + Custom Hud
thanks
You can use smite as a set-up for a venting shriek at least
And EP smite... Exists
I mean maybe use it a few games just for fun lol
But the best zappy boi is lone wolf Arbitrator with special cattle prod and shock mines
Man
How the fuck are you not perilling
Also dipping my toe in the other classes just makes me wanna play more vet I’ll be honest 
I miss me lasgun volley
Scrier’s Gaze
this is fair. playing other classes makes me miss psyker
is fun tho
No no no I’m referring to volleying with veterans adrenaline rush ability
The focus fire one
I see
How're you charging up your m2 so fast? is it that one staff blessing?
sg flurry blaze trauma does sound kind of funky
rending trauma, so, rending shockwave and warp flurry
the fire is from the other psyker who died
no no no that blessing setup makes too much sense
we need anti-synergy
we need to make it more scuffed
warp flurry blaze trauma with true aim
with empyric shock and channeled force
sigh roleplay guys, roleplay
i want it to make sense because i want to run it in aurics effectively lol
i still feel like that would get old by the third time
by the second
first time is already annoying
2nd is, ok they've got problems
heaven forbid a 3rd, they're getting voted
indeed, I usually only use it once a mission
but still
"whenever" and "once a mission" sounds Not The Same
yes, I wait until I hit that point to use it
Pardon me for poor wording
i find your terms more agreeable upon clarification
In terms of Gunkyr are most of the weapon stat allocations the same sort of thing that Vet would use? Blessings and Perk wise?
does anybody here have a build for the brainbrust penances? they are a drag and a pain :/
Yeah.
You get to skip ghost though unless you fucked up and didn't take EE.
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.
Honestly, ppl mostly hate them cos they are useless and need babysitting or downed sound effect constantly.
Was trying to be gentle, lol
I'm just being blunt.
inferno my beloathed
not issues perhaps
i am simply not a fan of inferno
i think the niche it fills is unnecessary
When you say niche..?
role?
I do agree that "kill everything with infinite cleave" is a role that probably should have very few or zero things in it.
i'm more talking about "kills irrelevant trash at short range and nothing else" but uncanny throws a wrench into that
Ragers are irrelevant trash?
Because inferno chews them up in the same gulp as the trash
And with Max burn I just need a tick on a dog or trapper and they run back into the walls and die
Plus the ranged stagger potential on LMB which is now finally a safe option vs poxbursters again, after the flayer buffs
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.
The stagger alone
i would leave it as is
i do not consider it a problem
i just think it overlaps heavily with melee and don't like that
Try it without a greatsword lmao
even before fgs, illisi
It pairs so well with Obscurus or whatever single target killer you favour
Yeah, again, Illisi isn't a pair for it
I love it with ilisi deflector
In those cases it's redundant
:)
Why though, Illisi is also a horde killer
yeah why
The other two force swords actually kill Crushers and other large dudes
illisi fell off
That’s what bb is for?
Imo it's straight up better than Deimos
then what is illisi for in that setup
If you wanna do it the super slow way sure
To make snipers and shotgunners redundant
BB is anti ranged elite and anti special mostly
That depends on build imo
if your build's only answer to crushers is bb
Ok you can do EP and KR shenanigans true
it's probably not good
But idk going inferno without warp charges feels wrong
In fire reborn is totally free for you
But idk I take EP brain rupture with soulblaze voidblast
Normally knock them out back to back before my team kills one. .-.
that says more about your team than anything else
EP does make it work on Crushers, my inferno build has The Saddest Slow Brain Rupture so it's a poor option for me lmao
it do be a little agonizing to use
But idk Obscurus just eats them alive
It's actually pleasant
Eats mutants and ragers roo
Too
Ruh roh
I honestly prefer the duelling sword - mainly due to speed. and it eats crushers and maulers.
Was my go to for a long time
I like Unstable power for a caster build
shoutout to penances for making you use the super slow headsplosion
And the push with force sword is so good
But DS4 is probably the best still yeah
Goes without saying for single target lmao
I mainly play havoc and final toll is a thing :/ the parry still lets me survive overhead chains when i run out of dodges.
Crazily that is the one thing that always ends up killing me
Team mates. :D
barrel-based pvp?
Leeroying intro a room of ragers or something and then kiting them into me while I’m killing something else
It’s like you’re cleaning the house and you hear your kid tipping over the Lego bin on the floor
But people like empowered psionics? Weird. I always feel better / stronger with warp siphon.
i do not
since the entire keystone only affects blitzes
I enjoy it but it's hard to shake off the reality that the entire rest of my kit is nerfed.
understandable
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.
Or disrupt destiny, obvi.
its not the best keystone, but its really fun for specific meme builds
that's what i figured
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.
