[verbal thistle]

Havoc unique and are elites

[summer prairie]

Depends if you mean special only

[verbal thistle]

Their situation is that they were spammed with waves of Brusters

So it sounds like the surge that spawns 1-2 types of specials repeatedly

A special strike?

Forgot the name

[summer prairie]

Coordinated strike? That's just surge iirc

[verbal thistle]

Forgot the difference

Hence why I linked the reddit guy

Does a better job explaining

Supposedly they are working on explaining all enemy spawns

[cosmic sigil]

that was not havoc, but auric hisg and mael

but yeah it was bursters and bombers mostly

[zealous wing]

kill team?

[ripe obsidian]

This is a good statement. I've had people complain about being unable to handle specials because I don't run bubble. Like, if I can avoid them, so can you! I believe in you!

[sinful olive]

I normally counter by saying you don't have to deal with them if they're dead.

I only feel bad for the ogryns dealing with trappers behind a wall of bulwarks and crushers

[ripe obsidian]

I haven't had too many complaints lately, but I think it's mostly because I have been playing in premade groups or with names I know

[azure parcel]

Any tips to get Malleus Monstronum?

[zealous wing]

queue dark communion, grab kinetic resonance, scriers gaze with warp unbound for more damage and 11.5s of free casting. if you dont get the monster before mid event, theres a guarenteed one at mid event, and a few boss triggers than can occur after if that fails

[azure parcel]

Awesome, ty

Hopefully that can also help me get the 40 kills in SG

[hidden coral]

just posting appreciation for my fav voice line and delivery in the game

[thorn cedar]

im much pettier, i just say if they wanted a bubble they can bring their own

often this is met with silence or an actual rebuttal to the tune of 'I dont want to'. if the latter i then say "WELL WHAT A COINCIDENCE"

[radiant frigate]

I have recently started using Wall instead of bubble and find it much more versatile

[thorn cedar]

wall is so fun

[full river]

Should I take soulblaze talents if they do not synergize with any of my weapon's perks?

[jovial juniper]

Perilous Combustion is a must

[full river]

I took that and souldrinker but I am wondering if beefing up my final node would not be a better idea

[warm thorn]

Chat would you rather collect 16 grimoires or scriptures OR crush your balls in a vice grip

[full river]

I am sorry my future children you were not meant to be

LOL

[jovial juniper]

Souldrinker is a bit eh ngl

But Perilous Combustion is the goat
You should always have it

[full river]

It does not do great damage does it?

[radiant frigate]

it's epic

[full river]

At least it tickles enemies in psykanium

[radiant frigate]

it snowballs hard with enough special/elite density

ends up killing things for free

[full river]

Okay I will leave it then

[radiant frigate]

imagine a shotgunner pack

imagine you kill 3 and the rest just burn to death

along with any accompanying trash

[dull scroll]

it really depends on how many other sources of SB you have in your build

if it's say inferno/shriek, PC is godlike

if it's a gaze melee psyker PC is a skip

[jovial juniper]

It's never a skip

[dull scroll]

Does any1 knoiw how to get the Sala Mandsala cosmetic bundle????

[radiant frigate]

what if it's shriek melee psyker

[dull scroll]

then PC all the way!

and add bleed in there for good measure 😏

[radiant frigate]

what if it's bubble knight but with voidstrike and headsplosion

[dull scroll]

like so 😤

[dull scroll]

no PC, that's yikey then

[radiant frigate]

yes i figured
although it was funny to throw out fgs waves and they just headsplode an elite

could be funnier if it set things on fire in the process

perhaps i make a return to shriekin'

shrieconlas..

[dull scroll]

try the bleed tech with the bolt pistol

makes your slices bleed

very funny

[merry meteor]

Does anybody run electro-kinetic or voidstrike staves seriously, not for fun/meme builds? I thought about may be giving them a second chance, last time they didn't impress me at all

what is a typical build?

[sinful olive]

Very rarely in h40. Electro is pretty common in auric. Void isn't used much because everything else outshines it.

[full river]

Duelling and inferno

[radiant frigate]

i use voidstrike

[dull scroll]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xivvPSCUYqk I myself am a knife's person 😌

[radiant frigate]

i likes it lots

[robust jacinth]

smite rework when?

[patent jacinth]

Never apparently, woe unto us all

[zealous wing]

lmao what

[unkempt panther]

I often run electro staff in auric, but it's mostly for a backup weapon when I don't feel safe engaging the crusher train in melee because of all of the other stuff also going on.

I personally enjoy that it's the psyker channel that is maybe the strongest voice for getting one of psyker's abilities nerfed / reworked (smite).

[ornate hamlet]

If you wanna know how bad hell is, just ask the devil

https://tenor.com/view/goog-goog-cat-googcat-gif-15010541579753907209

[unkempt panther]

Yea. It's pretty bad.

[teal ivy]

How do ya’ll feel about soulblaze voidblast build over inferno staff?

I find inferno just kills more, period, but I like the disruption voidblast causes.

Kinda curious to hear from some experienced psykers!

[crisp ether]

I personally like voidblast more.

It can snowball just like inferno can. Just slower but you're CCing most of the roster in this game so that's okay.

[teal ivy]

Yeah, that’s kinda how I feel. I run it with BB and bubble and it feels good. I feel I’ll kill more with inferno, but I honestly just love the mass hysteria it causes. That and watching bodies explode all around me

[sinful olive]

Bullying bosses with surge procs on voidblast is peak

If it even still does that

Can't remember if the boss stagger ever got removed

[sinful olive]

The main advantage to me is having a ranged answer to crushers.

That being said, inferno does everything else but that better essentially.

[teal ivy]

Yeah, that’s another reason I I’ve leaned towards void blast. Being able to stagger bulwarks, maulers and crushers with ease is a great support for the group

[sinful olive]

Keep in mind that bulwarks get fucked up pretty fast by inferno. But yes, it is straight up better at dealing with crushers.

Wait sorry

I am

Thinking of voidstrike

Apologies

Work got me loopy

Yeah they're both great

[wraith sphinx]

just lost a quickplay game because of a poxbreaker zealot leaving netted teammates behind and then not even dodge sliding to avoid incoming lasfire. titles really ain't shit anymore man

[dull scroll]

out of the box, inferno doesn't do much vs crushers

but there are..forbidden techs 😏

[sinful olive]

Inferno on average is going to outdamage

[dull scroll]

https://youtu.be/rJ9mtKwbvoc

[sinful olive]

But blast is comfy/safer

[sinful olive]

Are we talking brittleness blessing + armor pierce talent or do we just mean using our goddamn melee weapon like we should

[dull scroll]

not the brittle aka Penetrating Flame blessing

it's the Uncanny blessing on your melee, specifically on forcewords

force swords' ranged force push procs it so long as you hit enemy, not even weakspot

[sinful olive]

Ahh I see

[dull scroll]

once you have a shit load of warpfire on crushers, which normally do like 10% dmg, you spam force push on them, now the warpfire starts to do 100%+

[sinful olive]

Had no idea but that's fucking funny

[zealous wing]

another one down

[teal ivy]

Forbidden lore indeed

[ornate hamlet]

that looks like mine, except ogryn is way lower because I never touch it

you wanna see me not use a character, just make them too tall or too short

[vague musk]

they removed muh planet viewing platform :(

[merry meteor]

"You say I am too tall but may be that is you who are too short sparkhead! It's called per-spek-tiv! May be you are too short-SIZED to see AHAHAHA!11"

[radiant frigate]

looks like mine except i have 60/61 on ogryn and 0 on scum

and idk how much on arby (done everything except 50 more missions)

[teal ivy]

Also, for this, you need uncanny strike on force sword, and will this work just as fine with trauma staff? Just build up soul blaze then spam push?

[radiant frigate]

trauma caps out at 6 stacks

[dull scroll]

yes, but blaze VB can only build up to like 6 stacks, you better have something else to build stacks higher or the damage will be paltry on carapce uncanny or no

[teal ivy]

Ahhh I see. So best with inferno

[frigid charm]

haha yes

Happened to me and I swore on my mother I will always run bubble

Then I didnt run it the next match

[candid temple]

Next meta build preview.

[rare ridge]

im trying out psyker with recon las rifle, its far more fun than i expected

just with the melee weapon, i like the one handed force sword (its cool to block shots) for cooler astethics over the 2 handed force sword

[plucky flax]

I heard some bubble knight build use recon las and fgs

[radiant frigate]

i would still recommend fgs (it loses less from only having one damage blessing)

besides, bigsword propaganda

[maiden lynx]

https://files.catbox.moe/3h56l0.png

what do y'all think of my prospective psyker build? fairly new to the game

realistically i'd swap out smite for assail probably on more difficult missions but when i'm confident i think smite is fun for the electrify on heavies

some swaps i'm thinking about: mettle -> one with the warp or lightning speed? could also drop the 10% melee node after the ability in favor of one of those but big damage...

[long saddle]

what weapons?

left keystone is not really that good without soulfire and scrier's gaze usually pairs better with disrupt destiny instead

smite, and its heavy attack talent (the talent is p useless), are not really the best to get used to early in the game

teaches you bad habits and doesn't interact with many core mechanics of the game well

I'd suggest looking at the build bonanza in the pinned messages, it covers basically all of psyker's playstyles and weapon choices

so just pick something that interests you there to start with

[dull scroll]

don't need to go Siphon for Gaze nowadays, the new PA pretty much make Gaze 100% uptime without Siphon, go DD

[maiden lynx]

greatsword and blast mainly so far, still only level 26 and learning psyker -- for a bit of context very very familiar with fatshark combat i'm a vermintide vet, just new to darktide specifically, and yeah honestly that makes sense i'll probably swap smite for assail, and yeah you're right disrupt is probably better! ty!

https://files.catbox.moe/y1wwf3.png revised it, trying to intuit my own build but i did take a glance through and i'll probably switch to electrokinetic staff for this purpose, still figuring out which weapons are good for what circumstances

[runic canyon]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a118e98b-66a9-4d33-96d5-dc33887b72b3/soyker

Ainz does it again

Literally cannot stop cooking

[restive light]

"enemies have a chance of being marked" how does this keystone actually work?

and how many can be marked at once?

[rigid sky]

1 at a time

Can be anything that's not a zombie or an Ogryn+, iirc

There's almost always 1 enemy highlighted with a blue aura, and the game favours enemies that you are looking at Vs ones behind you

It's actually crazy strong, especially with high finesse weapons (like any Force weapon, duelling swords, combat blade, tactical axes, Vraks IAG, laspistol, voidstrike staff, Assail)

On Auric level difficulties you can get away with the 25-stack talent to really pop off

Below that you probably want lingering influence

It doesn't work in the meat grinder, you have to try it in live missions

[restive light]

do we know how high the chance is? like are you consistently getting 1 marked enemy a second?

[rigid sky]

I wouldn't know, it rarely feels like you are starved for targets though

Assail and IAGs are so flexible at quickly blasting bluebois away as soon as you see them

So you don't really lose too much target prioritisation from it

[maiden lynx]

i was using it a bit ago and i would say pretty consistent, i rarely worried about it with the extended duration but i did think the extended duration helped a lot for lulls in the fight

[rigid sky]

25 stack is more supportable now

If you take 25 stack you need the 3-stacks-on-headshot talent too

With lingering you can save that extra talent point

It's rare that you won't find another blueboi to RMB an Assail at within 12 seconds, which is the threshold for 25 stacks + headshots constellation to be sustainable

[restive light]

that should tell the most, thankies

[merry meteor]

If I put +25% damage to flak perk on my trauma staff, and blow up a mauler - will the perk proc? As maulers have partly flak partly carapace armor I mean, and aoe attacks can't really hit a specific part

overall, how it's decided which kind of armor will be used in calculations when aoe effect is applied to a mob that has different types of armors on it?

highest/lowest armor rating? largest surface? composite damage, proportionally to size of surfaces each amor type takes lol?

[wind spruce]

Enemies have a base armour type, a centre mass armour type AND armour types tied to different parts of their bodies

Dots hit the base armour type

Explosions hit the centre mass armour type

Trauma staff is an explosion

[merry meteor]

and base armor type won't always be equal to center mass armor type? that's convoluted lol

[wind spruce]

Yep. Its confusing hey

[merry meteor]

okay, thanks

[summer prairie]

I forgot that purple enemies are nearly impossible to stagger with normal attacks, never paid attention I guess due to playing purg e: oh only added in No Man's land patch

[merry meteor]

And electrokinetic staff's secondary attack - is it considered DoT? Cause you can't aim it at specific parts either, but it's not an explosion.

[ashen edge]

No. I think it's a 3 separate warp attack

[summer prairie]

h40 ready

but he is running smite so he has probably forgotten that weapons exist

[wind spruce]

@summer prairie any idea why a weapon like chain axe gets 3 dodges at 50% mobility (Range - [2.00|3.00]) but dclaw gets its 4th dodge at 50% aswell (Range - [3.00|5.00]?

am i stupid or is the rounding not consistent

maybe im tired

[marble crater]

Maybe because of 80% fuckery and dclaw only has 5 dodges above that?

[dusky crag]

You denied him his promised havoc 40 run. Be prepared to be put on reddit you Savage!!!

[wind spruce]

its just so weird. why is the threshold to round up 0.5 on one weapon and then the other one doesnt seem to round up at all

[marble crater]

Because fatshark, I don't know

[wind spruce]

maybe they purposefully made it so 60% mobility weapons always have the same amount of dodges as 80% mobility

[marble crater]

Is there not a single one that has more dodges at 80?

That would be something

[gilded radish]

Still hate that they changed the names of the staffs. Sounded so much more menacing before but now it sounds pathetic

[wind spruce]

not that ive found

Is it ever legit to dump collateral on bistol

i just got a free drop with 60 collat

[wind spruce]

Thats what path recommends iirc

[runic canyon]

who is path btw cos I never figured that out

[wind spruce]

He made the huge veteran guide (and is now expanding it)

[runic canyon]

Path = Guide WIP

?

[wind spruce]

Ya

[buoyant maple]

It’s legit to dump collateral on every weapon that has it

[runic canyon]

well that makes more sense now

[runic canyon]

Yeh I got a free orange bistol with 60 collat

I'll just keep it then

[buoyant maple]

I don’t think there’s a single atk I checked where collat is meaningfully affecting ur stagger breakpoints

The only case where it’s arguable is like

[runic canyon]

On my Psyker tho XD

[buoyant maple]

Take 1 less shot to open bulwark from hitting their shield with boltgun hipfire (u go from 6 shots to 5)

Which is such a minute & largely irrelevant niche that it’s rly whatever

Across everything else it basically doesn’t matter

Even for weapons that are good at stagger like shredder autopistol

[runic canyon]

Maybe I should drop Collat on my FatMangus Zealot then

for Spearhead Bolt

[buoyant maple]

Because autopistol’s main stagger is from braced firing (does 2x stagger) and it uses the killshot stagger type instead of ranged where most enemies don’t have reduction against

[rich spindle]

What the hell is kill shot stagger

[buoyant maple]

Stagger type killshot

There’re a bunch of stagger types

Melee
Ranged
Uppercut
Hatchet
Killshot
Explosive
Sticky

Etc etc

Most enemies’ stagger reduction are for melee and ranged

(This is not “whether the attack is melee or ranged”, just the stagger type assigned to the attack)

[rich spindle]

What the

Crazy game

[wraith sphinx]

yeah

welcome to Darktide, hope you enjoy oblique game mechanics

there's really no Quell % they can attach to that talent that wouldnt immediately make it way too fucken strong meaning it will always suck instead

I copied almost all of the dump stats on melee and ranged weapons in the build bonanza from Path's guide. Because I don't use those weapons, so I dunno what's goin' on there. Did link to his guide though

If it's any consolation, I have also been wanting items from this bundle and by my predictions it should see a return within the next two to three store rotations.

Fingers crossed it does. Really want to have another grab at those cosmetics.

whats the best full auto primary (gun)?

[zealous wing]

reconlas

secondary, though

as its ranged

[zealous wing]

i could fill this chat enough to get banned for spam if i sent all my psyker outfits

[solar sand]

dump stat?

[tropic bobcat]

recon lasgun is amazing.

[zealous wing]

collateral

these are the current build outfits on my main psyker

[tropic bobcat]

psyker has nice drip

[zealous wing]

i have spent too much money on psyker

and i will spend more next week

most likely, anyway

[tropic bobcat]

i'm not good enough at psyker to spend on it

[zealous wing]

i've put... a little bit.... of time into psyker

just... just a little

[tropic bobcat]

i spent 240 hours on the game

before i even did Damnation

[azure parcel]

I'm at 700+ regularly keeling over in maelstroms

[tropic bobcat]

i only did damnation yesterday

[zealous wing]

dw im nearing 3k and i still die in maels sometimes, i just dont do them a lot

[tropic bobcat]

unlocked auric

did 2 auric

[zealous wing]

i think damnation is my "relatively chill but still requiring brainpower of some sort to live"

[tropic bobcat]

I think I let some early failed attempts at quickplaying into failed damnation make me think it was harder than it is

[zealous wing]

its possible

bad teammates are really an extra modifier

[tropic bobcat]

and when u get dumped into quickplay usually u replacing a crap bot or somebody who bailed

[azure parcel]

I have at least reached the point where I mostly only die to an extremely stupid no-margin-for-error mistake

[zealous wing]

long as someones trying, its not as bad as someone running off on their own and dying, then being mad at us. those people usually make the game easier on us by quitting and giving us a bot

[azure parcel]

e.g. thinking I had but actually hadn't dodged overhead / sniper / net

[tropic bobcat]

mm. snipers sometimes firing super fast

or trappers not making noise

my two fav

[zealous wing]

i've yet to have this issue happen to me personally, it sounds rough

[azure parcel]

idk I think it's my ping causing me to mistime but it shouldn't be the case because I live in NA East and play in NA East

but dunno, maybe it's just fucking Bell

[tropic bobcat]

i am generally the person on my team who is listening

so it sucks to still get surprise netted

i think sometimes it's cus 2 trappers

[zealous wing]

ye the recent doubled up trappers is EVIL

[tropic bobcat]

yeh

think ur good and BAM 2nd net

[zealous wing]

i shoot one and SUPRISE there was a 2nd

[tropic bobcat]

good talkin'... i gotta run. see you all in there

[zealous wing]

o7

[spice aurora]

i havent uploaded a video in years and i have really long clips do yall think ppl would watch this kinda shit (few weeks old clutch)

https://youtu.be/KzI0TbhufN8?si=6U6U67KIqTlbsrAS

[zealous wing]

idk, i upload clips too long for discord or whatever i feel was cool

if people watch it, cool, if not, no harm done imo

it makes it a) easier to share, and b) its more shit on youtube about darktide, which, seems like a win

[uncut heron]

that's what happens when youre an unsanctioned psyker

[maiden lynx]

trying to think of what would be a 'stun' for the purpose of immaterial focus and not totally sure, just hit slowdown?

https://files.catbox.moe/jgaq0g.png the psyker build i'm thinking about

[hollow summit]

losing all toughness stuns you

getting hit while doing objectives stuns you

[maiden lynx]

ahhhh ha ok that's actually quite useful

i always forget about the toughness loss stun

[dull scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/cant-unsee-how-to-unsee-blind-homer-simpson-simpsons-gif-17613101

[maiden lynx]

can't be THAAAAT bad

[dull scroll]

I just have to now that I've seen it

[autumn smelt]

first time playing psyker in literal ages and i use a goofy build and it actually works well in h40

[maiden lynx]

aww i kind of wanted to run a high peril melee build using scrier's gaze but in my newness i think i didn't consider the negative interaction with warp ghost

does warp ghost have a negative interaction with scrier's? my assumption was that 'passive quelling' essentially only meant the quelling that occurs when you don't use any abilities and i figured that would not apply while in scrier's anyway

[autumn smelt]

passive quelling is just the natural decay

it doesnt affect any other forms of peril quelling like manual or via talents

in fact it makes it easier to ride high on peril on a scriers build

[dull scroll]

the main point of warp ghost is to prevent peril decay, if you are running gaze it's going to be up almost 100% time your peril will be maxed out easy

having those 2 together means your gaze will be insta over a lot of times the moment you pop it

[zealous wing]

for the random from mortis)

noice

"impossible to get anymore" my ass, we got it by accident lol

[hollow star]

I am that random lol

[zealous wing]

hallo

[hollow star]

Hi there.

[hollow star]

Holy shit, imagine if Vet's plasma gun was like this.

[zealous wing]

right?

god, what were they thinking

it was funny, but DAMN

[hollow star]

Game design is super hard but god, it's honestly suprizing they thought this was good. Maybe it was a bug instead?

[zealous wing]

didnt seem to be, took them a while to fix it

they did extent the event by a week tho which was oddly nice of them

after the fix

[hollow star]

Oh, that's nice.

[hollow star]

How long?

[zealous wing]

event was almost over

so like, 2 weeks

[hollow star]

lol

I see.

[zealous mango]

plasma gunner launch was funny

the changes were much faster than expected

[solar nest]

Oh that psyker with rifle looks cool, is that build decent for havoc??

[zealous wing]

it works, yeah

its heavily based on bubbleknight, with a few talents switched around to my preference

its in the build guide, in the new psyker section, below kariens

[solar nest]

Thanks i will definetly take a look on that, it’s hard to find a rifle psyker build, is that the gun suggested by the guide?

[zealous wing]

reconlas works, or vraks infauto

both interchangable by preference

[hollow summit]

i just recommend las pistol

[wind spruce]

Gaze lasts for ~13s without quelling or any major peril reduction talents. Peril gain from gaze scales up as the duration continues. That means you will always get a minimum uptime of around 8s (id have to check that number, its been a long time) assuming you don't cast

Warp ghost can be iffy with scriers if you dont have bm or bcob but it's far from instant

[dull scroll]

if you use warp ghost to stay at high peril all the time
and you have gaze
the moment you pop gaze you hit crit peril and gaze is over right then and there

[wind spruce]

Gaze quells 50% bro

Has done for ages

This aint 2024

[dull scroll]

doesn't matter, taking warp ghost with gaze is troll

[wind spruce]

Doesnt matter? You goofed hard af. Have a little humility yikes

[dull scroll]

LOL? nobody cares about the 50% in actual gameplay, that's why it's barely noticable, the main hitter is the fact it saves you from blowing up like vent

[wind spruce]

You forgot scriers quelled, its not a big deal, no need to defensively dig your heels in

[dull scroll]

relax, that's not even the point, the point is you arguing taking warp ghost with gaze

[marble crater]

Can you just kiss?

[long saddle]

I never take SG to maximize its duration, it's for the free peril spending

[autumn smelt]

I take warp ghost with sg because all other sources of peril quelling are significantly more relevant and the buffs are overwhelmingly worth the tradeoff

Like peril isnt even a problem anymore because it has been powercrept so ungodly hard

especially on scriers

50% on activate, 10s of peril being irrelevant on end, and a talent for melee/gun playstyles that massively quell peril, to the point where sometimes its harder to keep it high than low

[dull scroll]

if you don't spec crack of bone and have weapons and use things that generate peril like FGS slice or assail, you go from 0 to 100 in seconds

if you don't have weapons that generate peril, you enjoy the gaze charge up bonus

there is no point in -1 talent to warp ghost when said point can be put into much better things

[rigid sky]

2 stamina and bonus toughness generation is pretty busted for a single pointer

[wraith sphinx]

I like taking warp ghost on my sg staffker builds because the the extra stamina and tough replenishment is cool 🙂

I've completely stopped using bottom right talents for my sg staffker builds, running psy vampire WS is much more fun

[dull scroll]

that's relative to what else you are missing out

[wraith sphinx]

also wtf does this red exclamation mark mean
it's preventing me from saving changes to my talent tree

oh nvm I figured it out I'm dumb

[cosmic sigil]

what is the build?

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/wojak-loading-dumb-soyjak-brainlet-gif-5905960021355918533

[zealous wing]

brainburst, elite damage aura, scriers, empowered psionics it looks like

[patent steeple]

my staff meleeker build doesn't use warp ghost, because I like to use Warp Speed (it compensates for the lack of a high mobility ranged weapon I could have active to reach my melee target)

[zealous wing]

so, lots of kinetic flayer

theres no blitz damage row, so BB / KF procs are thrown into ranged damage

[cosmic sigil]

i should fix that on my sb

[zealous wing]

make sure you have ovenproof and disable og scoreboard stuffs as well

[cosmic sigil]

yeah i have it

[solar nest]

anyone knows why sometimes the 1 hand energy sword does weird things like flickering when you try to spam the block and push attack?

seems like an issue but i'm not sure

like the animation gets broken due the spam

[marble crater]

Darktide does like eating inputs from time to time

[solar nest]

oh, i was wondering if this could be maybe because of the stamina wasn't sure

[marble crater]

Could also be, if you don't have enough to block

[barren arrow]

"Did you see the moonwalking bear?"
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1460773832318259391/1469729994313040036/My_Baals_Hurt.mp4?ex=6997e178&is=69968ff8&hm=8792db5df310c9a1d55a7dfc676cea535338e688976054f50f4f1e8e0c67c2dd&

unrelated

it seems like force sword pushblock doesn't cause peril gain anymore, but it will still cause perils of the warp if you're at max peril, is weird

[rotund dagger]

I blew myself up with the block push yesterday

[thorn cedar]

It only generates peril if it hits a target.

[barren arrow]

oh

Is that a new change?

[marble crater]

No

[barren arrow]

wack

[long saddle]

thanks for the soyker build @verbal thistle, it's very fun

I'm getting better at controlling my urge to slash at 100%, since I'm so used to warp unbound

now I just do a quick quell first

[unreal yew]

who said the combat knife is the best melee weapon ?

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/beetlejuice-meme-gif-13835284389809173430

[long wharf]

and I'm back on my original account

[frail oar]

https://youtu.be/nApi7BmK5x4?si=vuzgsIMzGlFWH6Fz

[marble crater]

Congrats, be more careful about clicking funny links now

[long wharf]

yeah yeah

[rigid sky]

I still think it's overrated

It's good but it's not on the same league as a duelling sword, FGS, shivs

[frail oar]

False knife best weapon.

[rich spindle]

It used to be before all class DS and explode everything on screen weapons like fgs

[jovial juniper]

Still Psyker top 3

Or top 4

[thorn cedar]

top 12 for sure

[barren arrow]

thevoicesthevoicesthevoicesthevoices

IT WOULD BE SUCH A WARPSHOCK IF I COULD SLASH RN

Typically I use warp unbound if I'm using a staff a ton, otherwise why am i worried about peril lol

[long saddle]

I'm just very used to having it, like assail on a gun psyker build

but if the only two dangerous peril sources are warpslash and the force push then it's easier to manage

[coarse river]

Whats a good elite/boss killer build?

Im always high on boss damage but zealots make me look bad in that regard

[verbal thistle]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a118e98b-66a9-4d33-96d5-dc33887b72b3/soyker

[marble crater]

Outside of a few builds, psyker boss damage is pretty modest compared to the other classes. Pins has lots of builds though

[wraith sphinx]

SOYKAH

I've decided to stop caring and started terrorizing quickplay matches with my smite build

It's nice to clutch save noobs who should've been playing Heresy but are on auric instead from getting pancaked by crusher trains so I don't feel like I've wasted the past 15 minutes fighting alongside them

I should actually get the Uptime mod and see how that specific build fares

[barren arrow]

i don't really get that

wym your psyker needs assail

SHOOT
THEM

if horde

warpshock slash

[azure parcel]

is there a specific reason for BB over Assail?

[autumn smelt]

https://youtu.be/QcljYqL-kSE?si=_7Q4kZY2YXEurbD8

[verbal thistle]

Ranged option plus flayer, assail overlapped with what fgs already does

[white sky]

BB with Flayer Just Works™ ime

Its very nice

[autumn smelt]

bb itself proccing flayer is so kino

[long saddle]

it does that?

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

[long saddle]

like if you don't kill a crusher with one

[autumn smelt]

on this EP build if i have everything stacked up i can one shot bulwarks with it in havoc 40

[verbal thistle]

If something lives flayer will proc off cooldown

So it's a good assurance that something dies

[autumn smelt]

flayer also uses the damage of an EP brain burst without consuming a stack

i didnt expect to like this build as much as i did or also be kinda okay at it esp after being out of commission for a month and only playing fatmangus for another

[long saddle]

I should prob get back in to havoc, I stopped the update before scum at the reset

[crisp ether]

Flayer is fun on gunker

[long saddle]

when rotting armor was introduced

[rich spindle]

Chicking nugget

[crisp ether]

I run explodey bistol on my bubble gunker

It's very funny shooting the floor and nuking a trapper because the aoe procs flayer

[verbal thistle]

It's interesting to control flayer

When not using dots you know when you proc it

Plus knowing it's valid targets and 1 shots

Using force push when I have it off cooldown to kill a trapper 8 meters away

Or when a captain is standing on a bomber

[long saddle]

force push is always the funniest way to proc it to me

[verbal thistle]

Force slash since captains aren't valid targets

[azure parcel]

I have been trying to get the 40 kills in one SG penance

but I'm too new to the playstyle

highest I got at a time was 34 I think

[crisp ether]

FGS is good for it

Just need one good Warp slash

[azure parcel]

yeah maybe I just need some luck to time a headshot slash against an incoming horde

[crisp ether]

Don't try to angle it for the head

[azure parcel]

oh, why?

[long saddle]

the talent to reduce peril on weakspot kills is good for that

or is it hits? idk, I never use it

[verbal thistle]

There is no weakspot damage from slash iirc plus it might miss some enemies

[azure parcel]

yeah I have that, and the peril reduction on ranged crits

[azure parcel]

ohhhh

damn I didn't know that ty

[crisp ether]

It does nothing but throw off the trajectory tbh

[verbal thistle]

Chest level is best

[crisp ether]

I like how discord is delaying my messages so hard rn

[verbal thistle]

Since some enemies take reduced damages to limbs

[long saddle]

I meant that one but ye

or you said both nvm

[azure parcel]

it's definitely the best playstyle ever, even though I suck at it currently

too much fun

[long saddle]

you can always manually quell inbetween as well

[verbal thistle]

FGS is really fun

Getting some good attempts on my H40 solo with it

Could probably finish it within this month

[azure parcel]

if I want to generally improve my mechanics, is practicing solo a good idea?

like, heresy solo even

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

[white sky]

https://tenor.com/view/bloodborne-ludwig-gif-26860481

How it feels to FGS

[verbal thistle]

I started on auric damn no modifiers

Then I moved to shock troop gauntlet

[long saddle]

the dodge back, activate, and crouch is always funny steps before a good warpslash

[verbal thistle]

Then yo maelstroms

Then to havoc 30

Then to havoc 40

[azure parcel]

how do you even manage to do the interrogation puzzles solo

[verbal thistle]

I don't

[azure parcel]

since any attack can knock you out of it

oh

[verbal thistle]

I play maps that don't have stand still events

[rich spindle]

You either use auto solve mod or play maps without them

[verbal thistle]

Or you get the mod that finishes it for you

Or play with stun immunity/stealth

Best map to solo is baross

[azure parcel]

right

[verbal thistle]

High spawn rates, good kiting room, no standing still events

[azure parcel]

maybe I will start doing some solos soon. I am tired of sucking.

should I stick to solo attempts on a single class and keep pushing, or just play whatever I wanna

(ideally, I mean)

[verbal thistle]

Zealot is best to solo with

[azure parcel]

I don't like playing Zealot at all lol

[verbal thistle]

Ah

Uh

[azure parcel]

haven't touched it in months haha

I play everything else though

[verbal thistle]

Do whatever honestly but a class that forces you to interact with the most game mechanics

[azure parcel]

hmmm.. WS Vet? Melee Psyker? Ogryn? Arbi?

melee scum?

[verbal thistle]

Melee psyker or vet probably

Arby could be a good start with dog

[rich spindle]

I learned the most by playing fury knife zealot

And using knife for everything

[azure parcel]

Yeah I always play dog, even though Douglas is strong

But it feels like a shame to not use the best companion AI I've ever seen in gaming

[cosmic sigil]

Can you explain how you got it back? And congratulations.

[long wharf]

I went to Discord's support page

it helped that the account was disabled by Discord for suspicious activity

[long saddle]

just noticed this is in launcher now, it leads to games lantern builds lol

[verbal thistle]

I think it's a good idea

Show newer players the website to look at full talent trees and user builds

I still find people with all talent points spent on the top

[azure parcel]

"daring loadouts, unique playstyles" is certainly one way to put it

[dull scroll]

knife is a drug

once you get addicted to that mobility

it's over

[cosmic sigil]

Or you can use a laspistol / combat shotgun for mobility

[rich spindle]

Yep.I use laspistol for mobility on my ek staff build

[dull scroll]

what a pro hacker

I went back to laspis again from EK spamming on FGS builds

can't live without quickswap mobility

[cosmic sigil]

Shredder + kf is also very nice

[dull scroll]

funny aside

things like las complements slow melee builds

you need knife for slow staff builds if you want to zoom

those guns aren't a sub for everything

[long saddle]

just did my first havoc in ages

at the elevator in archivum syxorax

server error

can't rejoin because it's over

[jovial juniper]

Get Fatshark'd lol

[crude cape]

i still have never seen this in-game, its really not a meme and something people do? lmao whyyyyy

i cant even imagine thinking that seemed good when you see how the keystones etc are designed

[autumn smelt]

I have

20k dmg in an auric game

[spice aurora]

i like seeing the blue grade weapons in havoc 40 and running default abilities like volley fire

Alpha male energy

[dull scroll]

this game is just such you can get away with a lot of things once your skill lvl reaches certain threshold

playing meme builds is a time honored tradition to show off to the newbies 😌

[leaden geode]

Talent points are a crutch. Using weapons is a crutch.

Time to win by sheer charisma!

[marble crater]

Bard, Paladin, Sorcerer and Warlock moment

[timber moon]

Don't even get me started...

Twice over I try playing havoc with some randos, first time playing zealot, and then second time locking in as psyker. We are actually cracked for Havoc... Able to handle the shit the game throws at us when it comes to every enemy type.

But the same things keep happening which keeps ruining games.

1. Fourth player keeps disconnecting due to some server issues, they can't reconnect because Havoc.
2. Monstrosity keeps appearing in the game which bricks progress during the final mission bit of the game where a Monstrosity is supposed to appear, only appears after we move along enough to get to the elevator and we can't take it up to the surface. Why? Havoc can't hold back enough to realize progress needs to be made. We get cornered. Die because Havoc.
3. Gunners keep also appearing in the last section bit, fucked over because Havoc.
4. Demoted. Can't even get my assignment done so I can get my rewards so I can be able to make builds in the game and get some cosmetics. Can't even progress because Havoc.
5. Bot we are left with for the fourth player keeps dying. Can't even hold itself so we have to keep leaving the bot behind so we won't get dragged behind, because Havoc.
6. My Brain Burst psyker can't even kill elites even at max stacks of damage due to the health pool being overbuffed, because Havoc.
7. Bugs, mentioned before with the elevator and many more kept happening, because Darktide can't stay stable during this very important gamemode where every microsecond counts, because... Havoc.

I am begging and praying for Havoc to get reworked. I don't care if it loses it's "competitive" edge I want to play insaneo mass horde simulator where it takes hours to beat a mission, not demotion simulator.

Like Havoc is actual hell and it gives no grace on any mistakes you make, which is fine if the gamemode was actually stable, or allowed you to rejoin if a connection issue props up

[zinc phoenix]

Buddy just play auric

It’s a game not a cock and ball torture machine

[timber moon]

~~But the rewards 😭 ~~

[zinc phoenix]

There aren’t any

[timber moon]

COSMETICS

[zinc phoenix]

You get more resources doing auric

[timber moon]

God

[zinc phoenix]

The cosmetics are mid

[timber moon]

Pain

[zinc phoenix]

Everyone wears them like twice

[timber moon]

I'd still prefer if this gamemode was improved, even if it's minor shit and bug fixes

[zinc phoenix]

And if you aren’t having fun

What’s the point

[timber moon]

The thing was I was having fun up until the issues propped up

Some of the minor ones didn't effect me up until we got to the player disconnection (with them being unable to rejoin because havoc), and that monstrosity bug during that one specific mission

[ornate hamlet]

The cosmetics look cool, but

Nah, play auric

[timber moon]

That's when I started to get pissed off because we kept getting screwed over by some bullshit we had no control over

Like I don't mind cock and ball torture but they removed my lower half

[ornate hamlet]

I had one havoc match before I decided it was less about challenge and more about making the game straight up painful to play

[zinc phoenix]

I have all the dumb cheevos and the cosmetics for havoc and I went back to auric because it’s just a fun game mode 😂

[timber moon]

Almost like it should be reworked

[timber moon]

Auric: A blast, fun with even randoms but better with friends, actually goated, some grace periods, not too long but not too short

Havoc:

[zinc phoenix]

The mode you want already exists

Havoc these days is designed for you to play with an organized group

[timber moon]

Again I don't mind some torture if the buggytide bullshit didn't fucking happen

[zinc phoenix]

If you play with randoms the mid 20s are total suffering and also pointless

[zinc phoenix]

Well bad news it’s been happening for years and will continue to happen

[timber moon]

The randoms I was with actually were goated players. The connection issues kept fucking over the fourth one every time and every other issue was outside of the team we had

[azure parcel]

it has gotten worse though tbf

[deft stump]

1. Likely requires you to be friends to reconnect to private games. Or they need you to invite them, and only them, back.

[timber moon]

☝️

[timber moon]

I wish they fixed it to where you can reconnect to Havoc but no bot is left behind and you are put in a tied up state so you can't abuse it

That way you can actually reconnect but you can't abuse it like you can Auric

There, easy fix, shocked they haven't tried this

[azure parcel]

uhh I think you CAN reconnect to havoc games?

[deft stump]

They just made it private AND party locked.

[timber moon]

Tried before, didn't work

[azure parcel]

it's not different from reconnecting to any other mission if your game crashes

[azure parcel]

dunno, probably just bugtide then

[timber moon]

Tried before, didn't work

[verbal thistle]

you can

[timber moon]

Nope, happens every fucking time even if it's a crash or a leave

[verbal thistle]

if you cant the team died

[deft stump]

Nope. Private and party lock. If they didn't get the reconnect and not on friends with anyone else, you need to reinvite them.

[timber moon]

Team always fine, still can't return back to that game unless I have invite

[verbal thistle]

even through recent players menu?

[azure parcel]

[timber moon]

Even if that method worked who the fuck would remember that was an option?

Automatic reinvite should be a thing unless the player got kicked-kicked

[azure parcel]

I distinctly recall crashing in a havoc and getting the reconnect option when the game relaunched

but tbf this was a while back

[deft stump]

Yeah, you can't join private games with that, last I checked. Unless that person is a friend.

[timber moon]

They changed it

I don't know why they did

[deft stump]

If you get it, is fine. Sometimes you don't.

[timber moon]

But they did

[deft stump]

Because spaghetti coded game.

[rich spindle]

i died to no backstab sound poxwalkers earlier

[timber moon]

This is why I have spidey sense as a mod installed...

[verbal thistle]

@dull scroll

stop

[spice aurora]

giga chad ENERGY DETECTED

[verbal thistle]

I hate darktide social system

[timber moon]

fucking close one my mans

[marble crater]

How many have accepted an invite while in a mission because the timing was just that perfectly shitty?

✋

[deft stump]

That's like guy going to BDSM club with no clue and being asked if he knows the hardcore stuff. And then just agreeing to try it anyway with no knowledge.

[deft stump]

Oh, normal. Annoying to leave and rejoin.

[zealous wing]

this is unusual, i've not heard of this issue

disconnects, yes
being unable to reconnect, no

only cant reconnect if you choose to abandon

[deft stump]

Unable to reconnect is normal. Ask Chaos about that time it took me over 30 retries to get back.

[deft stump]

I have hard left and rejoined h40s in games I have at least 1 friend in though.

[spice aurora]

update: he died 3x and left

[deft stump]

You need to have at least one friend in case that happened.

[deft stump]

LMAO.

Sounds about right when they are crushing your uhhh...

Head. Yes.

[spice aurora]

the 2nd farthest i got in psyker solo was bc i got invited and died

[dull scroll]

LOL

[spice aurora]

consignment start, 6 bosses twins, 8 bosses total

xdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[verbal thistle]

so this wall doesn't exist I guess

[verbal thistle]

taking my rot armor horde on a walk

[zealous wing]

gotta give them enrichment

[rich spindle]

how

[rich spindle]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SWAP SPEED

[verbal thistle]

gaming

playing at 0 server lag makes it smoother

[rich spindle]

are you using pc

[verbal thistle]

no

[rich spindle]

not worth on rot?

[verbal thistle]

2 point investment that might be a bit too strong

FGS carries too much

[rich spindle]

oh you dont want to crutch on pc snowballs

[verbal thistle]

yeah

no dots on tshi build

[rich spindle]

what u using on laspistol then

ghost?

[verbal thistle]

dum dum despo

[rich spindle]

im not a dum dum

[spice aurora]

thats y i not using either, 2 pts way too much, maybe if 1 but at hte same time wats it ognna do, help me kill some shotgunners? XD

[azure parcel]

@autumn smelt ok the BB bonanza is fun

(yes I know my damage taken sucks ass, I'm working on it)

blowing up heads is so silly

hmm I feel like maybe Perilous Combustion isn't worth it on this build

given that it was only 10% of the BB damage

[ruby bloom]

Someone finally says it

[verbal thistle]

poor dog

[autumn smelt]

it isnt really

[azure parcel]

yeah seems like

will try without too

[autumn smelt]

idk what youre taking but i take MM because

yknow

25% more BB damage

idk if youre taking that

[azure parcel]

yeah I will take that now

[dull scroll]

PC has the least value when it's the only dot in the build and you have no other SB sources

but the thing is godlike on inferno/shriek 😌

[azure parcel]

I assume BB is terrible vs captains?

man I am seeing a LOT more SG psykers these days

[zealous wing]

have you SEEN scriers gaze's multi-paragraph entry?

[azure parcel]

Got my SG penance tonight, somehow

Just need to get Malleus Monstronum tomorrow

[patent steeple]

that is the only psyker one I am missing as well...

[zealous wing]

i can assist you both if youd like, just lmk when

[zealous wing]

my buddy might be losing it as time goes on

[cosmic sigil]

truth

wow

cole made an essay about it

[zealous wing]

i think

the best thing in there

is i have learned something new

[rigid sky]

Get staggered idiot

Tac axe is absolutely awesome, yeah. It's just unflashy on the face of it

But a crit weapon that does bromentum shenanigans and is actually really strong and fast is crazy

Knife 6 tends to attract the same kind of goal-seeker too though, and it's flashier/uncanny

But I fucking hate the knife so tac axe all the way lmao

Works so well on a piety chorus zealot

[deft stump]

It feels like an inbetweener with less mobility between Knoife and DS in a way to me.

[rigid sky]

Better horde clear than both unless you have really good control with the knife

And probably even then better

Lopping off multiple rager heads in one swing feels magic

[cosmic sigil]

like the shovel, it's a very good side arm weapon for any ranged oriented vet

[rigid sky]

Tac axe can be more of a main weapon but yeah

Especially on Zealot and scum

[deft stump]

I used knoife on funny 'nade build.

[valid void]

I'm tryna get back into Psyker after a long time away from it... (Like pre-pre-arbites) Trying to use the voidblast staff since I see a lot of discussion about how good it is. I'm not feeling that power it's supposed to hold. Any tips for me? Anything I should know?

[marble crater]

Look up build from the pins, aim staff at big targets, burn everything.
Other than that, are you lvl 30 with maxed out staff and what exactly do you not feel?

[valid void]

Lvl 30 indeed, staff isn't maxed out yet but I'm also playing on Heresy so I figured the 70/80% dmg would be mostly good. I'll keep on pumpin it up

I just hear about how it's a fuckin machine and the best utility staff rn. The stagger seems lackluster to me unless I fully charge the secondary (but obviously that takes an eon)

I probably just need to put some time and resources in to the class again tbh. It was my first class, so I used guns a lot on it. My staffs prob need some TLC

[marble crater]

Voidblast does take some getting used to for sure and you should fully or at least almost fully charge it, for damage and stagger

[valid void]

In I dive then 🫡 Feels weird being a noob again but I'm kinda into it

[zealous wing]

charge rate and blast radius are the biggest oofs on VB to have missing

quell speed and warp res can still also be oofs, but are able to be worked around

as a trauma enjoyer, i hope you find it packs the punch youre looking for, im about to head to bed so cant offer much advice RN otherwise

[marble crater]

Good afternoon

[zealous wing]

its evening now

[marble crater]

Hmmm no

17 is not evening

[zealous wing]

i consider this time to be evening

early evening, but evening

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[zealous wing]

the sun is nearly down

[marble crater]

The sun is always nearly down in Norway

[zealous wing]

then what do you say evening is

[marble crater]

An hour from now

[zealous wing]

was worried you were gonna say like, 20:00

[marble crater]

Nah that's unhinged

[zealous wing]

ive met unhinged

but no 1700 for me is always felt very "evening"

its nearly dinner time classically

[marble crater]

Late afternoon

[zealous wing]

feel like meals mark the switch

its not morning til its time for breakfast, its not afternoon until its lunchtime, and its not evening until its dinnertime

specifcally if you follow a common sleep schedule, that is

[marble crater]

In that case evening starts in 2 hours

[zealous wing]

well in my case, most days never get an afternoon

or, a morning

anyway

im rambling, that means, i must exile myself

[marble crater]

bye

[zealous wing]

(also i woke up at around 0100 so i feel sleeping now is valid and fair)

[patent steeple]

ok, so I tried Psychic Vamp WS gaze staff meleeker because someone here once said it was more fun than DD meleeker and my experience with WS meleeker was very bad because idk whether to build WS for the damage or the cdr...

cdr part of WS is kinda pointless on meleeker because of PsyAura, and the damage buff is hard to make useful because I keep needing to reactivate gaze, which obviously removes the stacks...

[rigid sky]

Some people find chasing blue bois fun, and other people are incorrect.

[hoary mauve]

I like DD, but not the FGS 😅

[ripe obsidian]

Psychic Vampire is one of the nodes in the tree that I actively dislike.

I still pick it if using WS without fire, but I am mad about it

[rigid sky]

warp charges feel kinda eh in general to me outside of soulblaze shenanigans

DD is the fun

[ripe obsidian]

Warp Siphon is very good for Shriek and Shield, if you use shield + staff.

45% cooldown reduction is amazing

Everything besides cooldown reduction is just a bonus

[wraith sphinx]

Why? It's fine

[patent steeple]

because 4% chance no matter what is, compared to 10% if the target is burning, quite a bit worse for getting WS stacks with horde clear...

[ripe obsidian]

4% on kill in coherency is significantly worse than 10% on enemies who die on fire at any range

[patent steeple]

especially considering how easy it is to get a fire-application effect as Psyker

[ripe obsidian]

Given how quickly you're likely to be spamming your abilities, it's not likely to give you more than maybe 2 stacks per ability cast. Which is still something, it's just bad.

[wraith sphinx]

I always get the majority of my ws stacks from elite kills regardless

Psy vampire is just what I run when not using inferno

[summer prairie]

someone should make a mod to track that, should be possible

[barren arrow]

it's so sloooooow

[ripe obsidian]

I will often end up at 6 stacks seconds after shrieking with IFR

Which is nice, because elite kills are far from guaranteed with the burst damage everyone can put out now

And if I am shrieking every 8ish seconds at my lowest CD, I want all the stacks

[barren arrow]

the difference between 4 & 10% is quite substantial, it helps a ton with consistency when there's not a bunch of elites about

& I'm p sure they don't have to die from the fire, it just needs to be an enemy that dies while on fire

idek if the kill needs to be attributed to you

probably

prossibly

[ripe obsidian]

Korrekt.

"Grants a 10% chance to gain a warp charge when an enemy who is affected by Psyker's Soulblaze dies to anything. This effect has no range limit and benefits all Psykers who have this talent selected."

[hasty silo]

thank you @autumn smelt

too bad the average pubby isnt good enough to use it and will using the dueling word instead

so this is entirely moot

[cosmic sigil]

Thank you @autumn smelt indeed. Still doing taxker?

[hasty silo]

what do you mean i have to use push attacks? pushing exists in this game

i'm not supposed to face tank groaners with shout??? what????

[cosmic sigil]

[cosmic sigil]

I'm in EU and I see less and less DS tbh.

[ripe obsidian]

I barely see DS in NA anymore

Every Zealot is running Relic and every Vet is power sword.

[cosmic sigil]

Yeah same

[ripe obsidian]

It's gotten to the point where the only Zealots I see using it are book bots who aren't confident or skilled enough to do much else. I am leery of DS zealots.

[jovial juniper]

Look at his ahh having to push
When the best weapons are just light attack spam

[thorn cedar]

i shall continue to eviscerate with my zealot

[ripe obsidian]

Best attack is heavy poke on Deimos.

I will accept no argument.

https://tenor.com/view/tag2-gif-25229282

L1 and H2 both are pretty great.

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know enough about Ogryn weapons to comment

I'm too bad at the game to play anything but Psyker or Arby

[jovial juniper]

It's just a really solid whack

Meaty sounding

And it hurts

[ripe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-pow-chosen-one-dead-horse-beating-doll-gif-15388021356827517637

Whack.

[swift osprey]

huh, I got a staff with 1/60 damage, didn't think that'd happen

[tepid crypt]

Is that good?

[quaint sequoia]

yo can someone link a psyker build that mostly involves spamming left click on a staff and pretty much nothing else

[tepid crypt]

Like having a 1/80 damage or whatever

[swift osprey]

I think that's literally the minimum possible damage value so... Maybe not.

[swift osprey]

Check pins, the megadoc has one for Electro kinetic staff iirc

[tepid crypt]

Would just like to shout you out for having a MaoMao pfp, love Apothecary Diaries

[swift osprey]

Yeee, Apothecary Diaries turned into my identity for a while, but I've stuck with the pfp

[crisp ether]

EK Staff

warp nexus + surge

[tepid crypt]

What's the best staff?

[frail oar]

Medivh's

[marble crater]

Depends on your playstyle, but not voidstrike

[tepid crypt]

Damn, I like voidstrike

wait is that the one that shoots darker beams?

[marble crater]

It's the one that shoots an exploding ball in a line

Inferno - short range, but kills everything in it's radius except for crushers. Boring to play but the strongest when it comes to dealing damage
Elektro - normal range, for hunting elites and specials, combine with venting shriek to kill hordes and spam it more, also stuns 2 targets. Fun if you like being mobile and more aggressive
Voidblast - normal range, a lot of stagger, good elite and special damage, horde clear with aoe and blazing spirit blessing. Probably the most versatile staff, but aiming is difficult at first and takes getting used to.
Voidstrike - long range, very good horde clear as long as the horde is in a straight line and not all around you, good damage, just not great to play, because it excels in corridors

My biased opinions

[teal ivy]

A great summary!

Personally, I go voidblast staff. Its powerful if you’re going soulblaze build, will delete just about any thing in a mixed horde. and it staggers crushers and bulwarks with ease!

Plus, just staggering elites, especially rager patrols rushing in, or even crusher patrols, buys your group some valuable time to do some extra damage/thin the patrol out

[patent steeple]

I use Nexus + Surge EK on my meleeker build, because in that situation its just Voidstrike but with more crits.

[spice aurora]

to add, electrokinetic staff has technically better primary attacks bc it has innate crit chance and crit damage chance as a bonus stat. combined with the surge blessing (global 2x dmg multiplier on crits, so a crit will do like 6x dmg vs one normal shot) makes it good if you can aim and treat it like a revolver

[crisp ether]

Scrier's Surge EK

One of the goofiest builds in the entire game

[jovial juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/it-just-works-tod-todd-howard-тоддговард-fallout-skyrim-gif-14803660

[dull scroll]

apparently you can also swap cancel the lightning, making it even more goofy

[crisp ether]

Oh here we go again...

[verbal thistle]

Yeah

Qq after attack and it resets a little faster

It feels faster but I haven't actually tested

[crisp ether]

I'm going to put a hex on the person who decides to macro that

[dull scroll]

pffft that's too easy no need to macro

[crisp ether]

You underestimate the desire for gamers to make things easier for themselves.

[dull scroll]

this is the hard thing that some people might macro 😏
