lol

[buoyant maple]

giving attacks new lines of power_level = 500 (this does nothing because the default value is 500, and this line is usually used to modify an attack's power level to be above or below the norm, without creating a new attack template)

giving an attack with no_cleave (cleave = 0.001) 4 different cleave distributed target profiles

chain weapons in particular have lengthy code that prob can be massively simplified

[unkempt panther]

That strangely reminds me of parts of my company codebase. Very old code. They checked in the generated bison lex (sp) grammar file, and not the inputs, and starting making changes to the checked in generated file. I bet something similar happened here with fat shark b

[buoyant maple]

there's a reason this game is CPU bottlenecked hard

[unkempt panther]

Well if they coded significant portions of the game logic in lua, Im not entirely surprised. I know it’s common practice, so I just wonder aloud how much of the cpu time is spent in lua. I might be able to oprofile that if I really cared to know the answer.

[buoyant maple]

shotguns are also wack

[buoyant maple]

this game follows ork logic

[unkempt panther]

lol

[buoyant maple]

if we all believe it'll run, it will

just don't question how it'll run

[unkempt panther]

Given the 5-6 keywords on each weapon, I do believe that they probably generated all of these details from those 5-6 keywords plus some rules for what those keywords meant. And compiled it to lua - how weird.

[zinc phoenix]

You guys don’t check the generated code in ci to make sure there’s no changes? Whenever i do generated code I have checks on PRs to block if its not a clean gen

[unkempt panther]

Oh, interesting idea. We don't do that elsewhere. Just rely on its correctness and the many tests on top of it. The real evil is checking in the generated grammar file, and then modifying that directly in source control.

I'm trying to reverse engineer these z values out of curiosity, and I'm struggling to replicate them lol,

They must have used some dark magic to generate that table.

this one

[unkempt panther]

Ok, I think my little exercise is almost done. This is some true black magic here.

public static class GamblersHeadsBiasedBooleanDistribution {
    private final Random r = new Random();
    private Integer state;
    public GamblersHeadsBiasedBooleanDistribution() {}
    public boolean flip(final double chance) {
        if (chance >= 1.0)
            return true;
        if (chance <= 0.0)
            return false;
        final double c = table[(int)Math.floor(chance * 100.0)];
        if (r.nextDouble(1.0) < c && r.nextDouble(1.0) < chance)
            return true;
        if (state == null) {
            if (r.nextDouble(1.0) < Math.floor(chance / c) * c)
                return true;
            state = 0;
        } else {
            if (r.nextDouble(1.0) < (double)state * c) {
                state = 1;
                return true;
            }
        }
        ++state;
        return false;
    }
    private static final double[] table = new double[] {

I think I can still run it to see how the output matches the input chance over lots of flips.

[verbal thistle]

the crit chance thing?

[unkempt panther]

Yea

I think that's what it's doing, in Java, slightly cleaned up.

Makes absolutely no sense to me. I do see how the length of the current tails run does bias it towards rolling heads as the length of the tails run gets bigger.

But that 99 row table is complete black magic to me, why they picked those values.

Or how they even picked them.

Or it's something like that, I might have an off by one error or slight difference in initialization,

Let me fix that, not posting here, just sharing what I've been doing.

[ripe obsidian]

The numbers are determined by dark troll magic performed in the distant Swedish north.

Though I think trolls are more Norway and Iceland than Sweden

[ornate hamlet]

It's an international effort

[azure parcel]

we should all paint this game red with the blood of heretics

[cold ivy]

I think the crit chance with pity thing is basically something like https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Random_Distribution, where the devs actually do call it pseudo-random distribution: you start with a proc chance C lower than your intended proc chance, and each time you fail to proc you increase the proc chance by C so you'd be trying 2C next, then 3C and so on. If you choose C correctly with respect to the intended proc chance, you can force the event to happen roughly every 1/C tries with significantly lower variance

[unkempt panther]

Yea, that would make sense. That's what the "state" field is in that object. But what is that table lookup doing there? It looks very much like z-scores for a cumulative normal curve, but it's also not quite exact. I can't reproduce it, and the differences between my expectations and reality get bigger at both ends.

This bit:

        final double c = table[(int)Math.floor(chance * 100.0)];
        if (r.nextDouble(1.0) < c && r.nextDouble(1.0) < chance)
            return true;

That part is black magic f'ery to me.

btw, here's the results from my brief test of my understanding of the method:

output chance 0.0, input chance 0.0, numRolls 1
output chance 0.0481, input chance 0.05, numRolls 1
output chance 0.0914, input chance 0.1, numRolls 1
output chance 0.1432, input chance 0.15, numRolls 1
output chance 0.1902, input chance 0.2, numRolls 1
output chance 0.2888, input chance 0.3, numRolls 1
output chance 0.2796, input chance 0.4, numRolls 1
output chance 0.5799, input chance 0.6, numRolls 1
output chance 0.9085, input chance 0.8, numRolls 1
output chance 1.0, input chance 1.0, numRolls 1
output chance 0.0, input chance 0.0, numRolls 64
output chance 0.05268429487179487, input chance 0.05, numRolls 64
output chance 0.10516826923076923, input chance 0.1, numRolls 64
output chance 0.1599559294871795, input chance 0.15, numRolls 64
output chance 0.21544471153846154, input chance 0.2, numRolls 64
output chance 0.3349358974358974, input chance 0.3, numRolls 64
output chance 0.4519230769230769, input chance 0.4, numRolls 64
output chance 0.7015224358974359, input chance 0.6, numRolls 64
output chance 0.9223758012820513, input chance 0.8, numRolls 64
output chance 1.0, input chance 1.0, numRolls 64

So, the results are at least pretty close to the input chance, which I assume is the crit chance that can be displayed with the mod

With the actual crit chance being pretty close in most cases.

That's the results from like 10,000 test runs for each line.

[cold ivy]

one of the clauses in the && seems redundant - as far as i can tell, c is always roughly 100 times larger than chance. this means that the only thing we care about is if r.nextDouble(1.0)<chance, because r.nextDouble(1.0) < c is guaranteed to be true as long as chance is greater than 0.01 as c will then be greater than 1

[unkempt panther]

I think it's not always true because that table lookup like converts it to a z-score, with exaggerated values at the tails.

I don't know why it's there, lol.

[cold ivy]

oh is the Random() class not an actual random function?

[unkempt panther]

No, java.util.Random.nextDouble(1.0) is a flat distribution from 0.0 to 1.0.

But the table looks like this:

    private static final double[] table = new double[] {
            0.0001560416916765,
            0.0006200876164356,

For the full table, see:
https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/d24ac23d4a2df93c88c0d94554abc11f199453a5/scripts/utilities/pseudo_random_distribution.lua#L4

That table is pretty close to z-scores for a single distribution, but they exaggerated the values near both tails.

[cold ivy]

P2C is basically "what C should I use if I want to use PRD to get P"

if you look at the 25th entry in the table it's 0.084744091852317, which is extremely close to 8.5%

which is the C value dota2 uses for a 25% chance proc

[unkempt panther]

I don't think so. Well, I think partially, yes, but the thing is a normal distribution z table, mostly, with some alterations, especially at the tails. I assume they chose the mean and stddev to give the overall results that they wanted, and then I guess that they modified the tails a little bit to avoid "extreme" outcomes on both sides.

[cold ivy]

the tables are close enough (and both methods are trying to do the same thing) so i'm pretty confident that P2C is just a handy lookup for pseudorandom

[unkempt panther]

It may be that it makes sense to you. This I don't understand offhand.

You mean this biased distribution to avoid long runs of tails? Yes. That is its purpose.

[cold ivy]

this is supposedly the math behind it

[unkempt panther]

I just don't know how they arrived at these numbers. Trial and error? That's why I called them black magic. There's probably some deeper math at play, but I don't see it yet.

Ah, hmm, thanks, that does help.

Let me see if I can derive the valeus with that,

[ripe obsidian]

Ew, math.

[unkempt panther]

I got a major in math and a major in comp sci, I live for this.

[ripe obsidian]

I have a degree in English and IT was my backup plan after I failed to become a librarian

Math is spooky

[unkempt panther]

(tries to suppress his everburning rage at the misuse of the term "pseudo-random')

[cold ivy]

what is the proper use of the term "pseudo random"?

[ripe obsidian]

Computers can't actually do randomness, because reasons, so they have a seed (often the computer's internal clock, I believe) which they use to generate numbers that are approximately random

But actually follow a pattern, albeit an obtuse one

That is my understanding

[plucky flax]

Smarty man

[ripe obsidian]

I'm dumb.

[plucky flax]

Same

[cold ivy]

so technically all these numbers are pseudo-random since they were generated by a computer?

[plucky flax]

Good at video games but not good enougj to go pro at dota2

[unkempt panther]

At least in comp sci circles, pseudo-random number generator is any number generator that uses a method for generating random numbers that is predictable and not truly random, aka many common math libs in many languages will use certain mathematical sequences that do not repeat for a very, very long time, and whose windows appear to be truely random, but if you know the algorithm and the output (and maybe sometimes a little more information), you can compute on another computer what the next outputs of the generator will be.
A truely random number generator has to use some truly random source of randomness. The cliche example is a hardware temperature probe, and code that uses the least significant digits of that temperature probe as its source of randomness. The assumption is that the least significant digits of the temperature readout really are random, or random enough, that they cannot be predicted or computed on another computer,

[ripe obsidian]

You can do it. I believe in you.

I thought I might be able to go pro at League, back when I played it. Not that I was really good enough. Just delusional. I got into the Masters division when it first came out, then immediately lost like 20 games in a row and got hardstuck D4

Or D5

whatever

[unkempt panther]

I think I was hardstuck gold or one level above gold back in the day. I was bad. lol

[ripe obsidian]

But it was all my team's fault. Not me. Totally not me.

[ripe obsidian]

I think the average player when I played was mid-silver, so being gold or platinum was actually in the top, like, 20%

[unkempt panther]

Well, yea, I was probably was like top 10%, but meh, I want to be better than that. But thanks, yes.

Go on reddit and search darktide modding there's a guide

Know the psykanium? The "creature spawner" mod allows you spawn any mobs you want in there, and to turn on their AI so that they chase you and try to kill you. It's very, very useful.

[ripe obsidian]

Very rude of them to attempt murder after you have gifted them sentience.

[zealous wing]

creature spawner mod, and also soloplay if you want to test in a proper map with cover and such

is there a build i can use for the electro staff?

[jovial juniper]

Yes and you can even choose if you want M1 or M2 builds

The pinned doc should have it

[glacial field]

ohh thx

barely used the staff

isnt m2 bad though?

like the electro staff is known for having a bad m2

[zealous wing]

not BAD necessarily but not what it could be

[thorn cedar]

m1 deffo outshines it

[zealous wing]

if they just fixed the code to have the crit damage modifier INSIDE the brackets instead of outside it

[thorn cedar]

also crushers like tripled in health or whatever

i think thats what really killed it

[zealous wing]

ye its not ideal but it still functions if patient. if they gave us the 30% crit damage its missing, that would help

6 full charges with this build i have to kill a crusher, with kinetic flayer on cooldown

still a good stun tool though as well

[radiant frigate]

charged el ectro kinetico is no longer The Way?

curious

[zealous wing]

sadly no, but it still does function

its still a staff, and its not NEARLY as sad as voidstrike

[radiant frigate]

much has changed in the wizarding world

i still like voidstrike

[zealous wing]

i cannot love it. i try occassionally

[radiant frigate]

but i get the feeling i would be better off playing surge surge

[cosmic sigil]

new update when? :/

new event when? :/

[zealous wing]

event in march

[radiant frigate]

can't even onetap crushers with 25 stacks dd and the arcane cannon anymore

sad state of affairs

[cosmic sigil]

the tides of March

[zealous wing]

probably new game mode same time

[radiant frigate]

if i exchange my voidstrike for EK

i would end up with the variant six mentioned recently

fgs ek kf shriek

[zealous wing]

i have an FGS/EK/KF/scriers build i never use, but narhwal uses it

i find myself avoiding shriek/soulblaze unless im going all in

[radiant frigate]

i found myself avoiding soulblaze because it's Dishonest™

lots of soulblaze theft with multiple psykers

[zealous wing]

thats why i avoid it unless im inferno/blazing trauma

[radiant frigate]

muddies the waters and we no longer know who did what

[zealous wing]

i just find it annoying

why waste a talent point for something minimal

[radiant frigate]

does this build shred or did it simply steal soulblaze off of the inferno psyker? who knows

[zealous wing]

depends how much you shriek spam

[glacial field]

damn is void strike bad?

[zealous wing]

its

sad

very very sad

[radiant frigate]

it's epic (fell behind)

[glacial field]

i though it was the better eletrco staff with good secondary

[radiant frigate]

good fun but not most effective

[radiant frigate]

used to be

[glacial field]

[zealous wing]

if you wanna kill 4 h40 pox walkers with a max charge secondary, thats your staff

[rich spindle]

I think pickpocket needle hive scum is fully above psyker

ooof

wow

[buoyant maple]

It’s arguable yea

what does the staff have going for it then?

the fact the secodary peirces?

t0.5

[zealous wing]

and it can cleave bulwark shields

[glacial field]

hahahahaha

[buoyant maple]

Both are far stronger than anywhere they have reason to be

lmaooo

thats funnt asf

but so can EK, and inferno, and trauma doesnt care about shields

[buoyant maple]

Broken kit

[fallow bone]

yes i have had hive scums do more than me in some circumstances and it is always fun and wacky playing with them... even ones with bolt pistols too wowie

[glacial field]

if they nerf pyscher survibal

do you think he would still be played as much

[frail oar]

Yes

[thorn cedar]

they should buff master's retribution on zealot to be a 8s gigantic 360d juiced ogryn push and it always works even when ur down

[rich spindle]

it was played a lot less in havoc back before the latest tree rework

[buoyant maple]

They should nerf psyker’s toughness with all tree nodes from 125 down to 50

[jovial juniper]

12 cleave is pretty good for ranged weapon standards so yeah

[glacial field]

woah woah woah

wait

dont kill my boy that he takes 200 years if one gunner touches him

hold up

how bad was he before he was broken?

[buoyant maple]

I’m half joking

[rich spindle]

it was a lot easier to die. you couldnt really play melee psyker in havoc

[fallow bone]

but i have seen people play him before and succeed... on youtube

[rich spindle]

before the buffs, you could do in in auric, but it was exceptionally hard in havoc

[verbal thistle]

I was a day 1 melee psyker main (since patch 13)

So fun

[fallow bone]

there are a few melee psykers, probably zealot mains who insist that staff trivializes the later difficulties chaff and that it just isn't fun to play with things like that. it is hard ye but he does have some survivability afforded to him nonetheless ...

plus that sword sick tho

[rich spindle]

its very playable now

[unreal yew]

is there a way to add reticle to bolt pistol?

i use dot for blitz things, but small cross for aiming like with staves

small cross is easier for me to spot if im looking at something else on the screen to recenter myself

U don’t need mod to use the dot

[marble crater]

But I don't want the dot

[zealous wing]

reminds me, before i forget, is there a way to save custom hud layouts ingame or would i need to find a file somewhere

[dire wharf]

Will they ever allow mods on console?

[pale prairie]

No wonder I can't hit things with lmb, I can't see the crossdot

[pale prairie]

Just pretend a hot drow lady said you HAVE TO USE IT

[pale prairie]

Tell me you use Elektro without saying you use it

[jovial juniper]

Why a Drow, specifically

[pale prairie]

His kink

[jovial juniper]

Oh ok

[dire wharf]

@marble crater yeah yeah, I know, there are a few games that do allow them though. Skyrim and Baldurs Gate 3

[pale prairie]

Druhkari would probably work too

Ooof the “Creative Assembly Workshop”

[marble crater]

Yes, thankfully there are a few, but for the rest we will have to suffer together

Maybe Witcher 3 also has at this point? I thought I read that

[dire wharf]

Fallout 4

W3 I'm not sure

I don't recall seeing that option last time i played it

[jovial juniper]

Just in time for Witcher 4

[marble crater]

Hey, all this AI nonsense means there won't be new console for quite a while longer

[pale prairie]

Yeah instead you’ll have to pay a subscription to stream play the new Witcher 4

No mods

$10 if you want 4k 30fps, $25 for 4k 60 fps

I accidentally rang up a $800 phone bill playing everquest, back when dial up internet was a thing

[glacial field]

alr lowkey

eletro staff is fun

using the secondary for stuns and utility is fun

[zealous wing]

ye its a fun staff

trauma is more my style but both are multi-use

[glacial field]

trauma?

[zealous wing]

voidblast

[glacial field]

ahh bet

[zealous wing]

im working on a "meme" build thats less meme now and more "my perfect personal blend" build

[glacial field]

yeah

been doing the same

[marble crater]

Look at me, I am Hexis and use old names to confuse new players

[glacial field]

the greatsword is rly good with the eletrco staff

tbh

i swapped out the extra % after dodge for more cleave

the greatsword with cleave is so fun and good for the weakness for eletro which is the amount of chaff

[zealous wing]

fgs shouldnt stuggle with cleave tbh

[glacial field]

maybe the extra crit chance?

on chained hit

[zealous wing]

i cant recall if the build in pins has warp splitting

i use unstable power and shred

[glacial field]

yeah i also use that

riposte is alr but greatsword is so fun swinging into chaff

[zealous wing]

thats what the slash is for

[glacial field]

people say blazing spirit is also maybe decent

[zealous wing]

HAH

no

do not

its a full on meme/troll

[marble crater]

well, guess I can't have reticle when bracing bolt pistol

the reticle vanish

i forget the crosshair mod name, but it should have a function for ads, no?

[unreal yew]

I really needed it

most mods I find is about customizing it

[cosmic sigil]

crosshair_remap

[sullen lynx]

I can;t even get framework to download to be able to use mods 🙁

[unreal yew]

I guess it only customize the crosshair but does it stay when I am ads?

because the bolt pistol crosshair disappear when I do

assail is more reliable for headshots for DD stacks and RMB assail for things like distant snipers

but the vraks eats corridors alive

take it to magistrati oubliette in particular

quick question, the perk called just a dream does the damage it reduce health or toughness?

both

[spice aurora]

3rd is where the drop is right with hole in floor

or is it drop where its more city-like near finale

On the third(?) day of psyker solos, the director gave to Ainz:
19 maulers skating
13 crushers sneaking
12 trappers cackling
6 shooters chipping
5 cspawns chomping
3 mutants roaring
2 perils 'sploding
And a poxwalker chewing on his knee

[verbal thistle]

I had a crazy surge

[ripe obsidian]

But did a poxwalker chew on your knee?

[keen river]

Does voidstrike need a build focused around it to do good?

[rigid sky]

Doesn't everything?

[keen river]

uhm no

[rigid sky]

At least for secondaries on Psyker

[keen river]

I suppose with the staffs then yeah

[rigid sky]

Guns also kinda need at least DD

[keen river]

Its been a bit sense i was on psyker and im only on psyker right now to level weapons via smite build

[rigid sky]

Smite shriek is probably a good way to go

Force greatsword

[keen river]

i wanna level two things at once and doing it normally is a pain

like i kind of hate how you level weapons in this

just let me set two weapons to level while i use a normal build

[rigid sky]

The item system is awkward and clumsy

You kinda can, by converting dockets into grey weapons into green weapons into mastery

[keen river]

weapons are very awful until they are maxed so i have no clue why i'd want to use the weapons at their worst

[rigid sky]

But it's so clunky

[wind spruce]

You effectively can do that. Farm resources then buy weapons to sacrifice for mastery.

If you check the store and buy greens of the right weapon type it's very resource efficient.

[zinc phoenix]

The only nice thing I have to say about the Darktide item system is it’s not the original Darktide item system thank god

[rich spindle]

Not really

that staff is overdue for a buff 😒

@verbal thistle use a different weapon for rotted solo plz use purg staff its btter, dont use the wrong weapon

It’d be nice if the spells were actually fun to cast

[keen river]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-gif-26178840

[zinc phoenix]

Like fireball or coruscation in vt2? Genuinely fun to play because you have to think about where you’re aiming

Burgatus? Boring hold right click gaming

[rich spindle]

You can run the same build as inferno or trauma and it’s fine

[zinc phoenix]

It’s not as good in havoc but it’s still a solid stick

And it can be fun to play so long as you don’t try to full charge it ever

[spice aurora]

can u believe it, the #1 thing kids want to be in China is still astronaut. in teh US, its purgatus psyker

[keen river]

if i want to free myself from inferno ill probably just do melee

[zinc phoenix]

Idk why they don’t buff it, burgatus gets infinite cleave in a huge area with seconds of work but it’s a crime if voidstrike can full charge in less than a century

IG that one crusher had a family

This you?

[spice aurora]

dis me

[zealous wing]

is this from a past event?

[cold ivy]

my winrate in h40 with bubble inferno is way higher than shriek inferno and i think it comes down to the fact that you can herd cats a lot easier with bubble - nobody listens to "let's go here" pings but i put the bubble down and they are immediately inside, no matter where they were previously

[spice aurora]

my win rate in h40 is 5% i am the best

[glacial field]

Hey guys for the void strike staff

Is it better to focus on a secondary attack build?

[zealous wing]

both attacks are the same

only difference is one takes much longer to charge for a slight dps increase

surge works on the secondary though so thats cool

[spice aurora]

i think if you cannot make use of the big cleave on the secondary then use primary, or if you know you wont 1 hit with the secondary but idk i havent used it in a while

[wraith sphinx]

No, your best bet is to mix and combine both

[glacial field]

How?

What blessing do you even use?

[wraith sphinx]

Charged secondary is good for cleaving through trashmob columns, lmb is good vs individual elites that dont have cara armor

[wraith sphinx]

Surge and warp nexus

[glacial field]

Warinexus is the one that reduces secondary charge time?

[wraith sphinx]

No

[zealous wing]

only kinda

[wraith sphinx]

Theres no point in faster rmb charging because you can achieve the same result with a partially charged rmb

The only times I fully charge rmb attacks is against ogryns

[plucky flax]

[low vortex]

hey, whats best psyker build?

[quartz barn]

@deft stump 's 11 stam fgs build

[radiant frigate]

yes very true

[quartz barn]

I dont know the exact setup cause it makes the game too easy so i dont use it

[dull scroll]

what lvl are you, what diff you planning to play at

[low vortex]

plan is havoc

i ve seen a inferno staff or skull crusher build and im unsure

[dull scroll]

skull crusher on psyker lol, that would require you to have the shock stick 😏

if you are beginner and want something easy/safe/powerful, then it's the bubble inferno that 90% of psykers play in havoc

[low vortex]

yes have seen this one

https://youtu.be/tSm7hsh2EM0?t=2913

do you think this is better?

[dull scroll]

for me? yes, but shriek like this is the harder version https://youtu.be/rJ9mtKwbvoc

bubble is more beginner friendly

[low vortex]

ok thanks

[icy breach]

Or Dclaw but thats…

[dull scroll]

yes, or dclaw, which is actually very passable on psyker 😌

[low vortex]

meant this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLxdW-DJjEA&t=231s

[icy breach]

Perfect as a defence option unironically

[dull scroll]

that's a pretty fun meme build, try it out at your own risk 🤷

[cloud folio]

is there a node that allows psyker to not die at 100 peril

[zealous wing]

psykers dont die at 100% peril, they explode if they cast at 100. warp unbound prevents this for +10s (scriers gaze upgrade), and yeah, crystalline will makes you a suipsyker)

[dull scroll]

somebody who I shall not name runs an exploit build as well, apparently if you have 3x wound curio, once you go down to 2 wound, you get free explosions 😏

very funny

[burnt gazelle]

wat

[zealous wing]

well not JUST 3x wounds but

theres more to it than that

but its 100% an exploit

[dull scroll]

okay now you gotta spill the beans, what's the sorcery

[zealous wing]

no lol

[dull scroll]

DO IT

[burnt gazelle]

scriers is probably the most comfortable node for not dying to pow bcuz on top of warp unbound, activating scriers is now -50% peril

[zealous wing]

i know it also prevents you from taking corruption damage if you get downed by other means but im not telling how

[dull scroll]

wtf

[summer prairie]

there have been multiple bug reports about it, not exactly secret knowledge. And it's useless

especially in havoc

[dull scroll]

oh I've seen somebody put it to pretty good use in havoc alright 😏

[rigid sky]

I still think bubble inferno is a waste of emphatic Evasion idk

[dull scroll]

imma figure out this rounding error and see what the secret sauce is about

[summer prairie]

you'd be better off running something else, taking 1 corruption damage ends it

[rigid sky]

Like it so much more with shriek

[dull scroll]

it's just 1x 5% hp, don't need to be so secretive about it 😉

[summer prairie]

depends on the difficulty

[dull scroll]

why, you need a different # of 5% on h40?

[summer prairie]

I think 5% was for non-havoc and it was like 6-8% for havoc but could be wrong about the numbers. Havoc hp changes definitely changes what you need though

[dull scroll]

found it, it's 2x 5% for H40

[summer prairie]

I think it's a range that works, not a specific number

but 2x sounds ideal

[dull scroll]

well I've been going up from 5%, 6%, 7%..etc. only stopped corrupt at 10%

[summer prairie]

anyway, you are still taking 3 wounds to get there and if you are good enough in havoc to never take corruption damage, you can just run whatever

since 1 corruption stops it

[dull scroll]

so that's why he was still blowing up for real 😏

[summer prairie]

You are still going to die/lose a wound if a melee enemy hits you since they all deal corruption in havoc. Infinite wounds isn't useful anyway except for crystalline will

[tawny trench]

This Psyker war is fucked. Some guy clapped and said “decem inferni” and suddenly I no longer had a femur and he was gone

[quartz barn]

[deft stump]

11? Is 15+.

[ripe obsidian]

But is it funny?

[ripe obsidian]

I'm young enough to look at, but far too old to see

There's an episode of the Simpsons where Homer is in court for some reason, and he tries to quote Don’t Fear the Reaper as a defense, to which the judge says, "Yes, Mister Simpson, I am familiar with the BOC," and reveals her medallion.

[icy breach]

1 is enough

If we talk about bursters

[deft stump]

Exploit abuse for inf booms with crystalline will or summthing.

[icy breach]

Exploit mentioned
Not interested

[deft stump]

I don't get it but Crystalline Will so bleah.

[zealous wing]

proper suipsyker is very fun

exploit suipsyker seems extremely boring

[dire wharf]

What is a suipsyker

[marble crater]

A meme.
Psyker with crystalline will to explode without corruption and deal damage

[dire wharf]

soldier boy, lol

For that psyker penance where you have to use brain burst on a monstrosity. Does it just have to hit once or does it need to be the killing blow?

[marble crater]

It's 50% and doesn't need to be the killing blow

[dire wharf]

wait

50%!?

50% in one cast?

[marble crater]

No, you just cast it enough times to deal at least 50% damage

[dire wharf]

I'm almost scared to ask how many casts that takes

[jovial juniper]

It depends

A daemonhost has the lowest health among monstrosities

A Plague Ogryn has the most

[marble crater]

The penance sounds a lot more difficult than it actually is

[dire wharf]

I hit a scab trapper with brainburst three times and it was still standing as I'm prepping a 4th cast..

Then the game crashed and I'm like ahh that's why

[hearty spruce]

for high havoc with inferno, is there any pros cons of pick force sword over dueling or vice versa?

[radiant frigate]

force swords have power blessings alongside uncanny

which can buff up your soulblaze

[marble crater]

Force sword can block bullets
Dueling is more mobile

[radiant frigate]

that too

[hearty spruce]

is it a sort of pick w/e you like best, or is one superior to the other?

[radiant frigate]

what is the purpose

is it mobility, go DS

[hearty spruce]

honestly just survive the average 30+ havoc pug

🙂

havent gotten to 40s yet

[radiant frigate]

is it max damage potential, go force sword with power blessing

is it survival, go force sword with deflector

[hearty spruce]

thanks for the tips!

[rich spindle]

Force: easiest method to abuse uncanny soulblaze with long range push attack, Deimos can knock down crushers, can run deflector to infinitely tank demonhost (I don’t think current psyker needs to ever block ranged with it), can run superiority to boost soulblaze damage
Ds: easier to kite with, easier to use in general, can do more boss damage with parry

[spice aurora]

force sword pushes get you out of a lot of shit too

just the first part of the push

[pine oyster]

This, but with a build with scriers gaze and Warp Rider.

[dire wharf]

What is the purpose of deimos' special attack?

[marble crater]

To stunlock yourself and die

Pretty nice against captain shields though

[dire wharf]

ok, thanks

[jovial juniper]

Also like

You can proc uncanny/executor with it

[pine oyster]

Better off fighting with the Illisi

[marble crater]

I do use it against some big targets, just because I think it looks nice, but I know it's not ideal

Enemy losing a chunk of health on the final tick is nice for my brain

[dire wharf]

60% of all combat efficiency stems from looking cool while you do it

[pine oyster]

Combat axe.

Combat axe eats that 60%

It's too slow to be cool.

[rigid sky]

consider obscurus as well as deimos

obscurus is underrated

[rich spindle]

I don’t think the special is even much faster vs captain shield

Compared to block canceling l1

[dull scroll]

the only real use I've found for the special is on certain build to generate peril

[verbal thistle]

Can be used for passing mutants

Since it sticks

[dull scroll]

hmm might try that with deimos and see

obscurus though you can just one shot muties with H1 lot of time with bb proc

[rich spindle]

You need to h1 with Deimos to get a mutie kill

[dull scroll]

the h1 on deimos is so ass

sooo asssss

can't even one shot dogs iirc

but it might also one shot mutie with bb proc 🤔

[rich spindle]

H1 special that is

L1 doesn’t kill

[dull scroll]

damn, just tested a bit

H1 special doesn't one-shot out of the box unfortunately

even on weakspot

but I got Unstable, so it does at high peril, might start doing it

[dire wharf]

What are the benefits of using a force sword over greatsword. Mobility and uncanny strike?

[rich spindle]

yeah

fast attack after swapping from staff

[rich spindle]

i guess it usually does with all the random buffs in game

[dull scroll]

the L1 also starts to one shot specials in the head if you got enough stack of things in 40

it's a roulette

[ripe obsidian]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1rem76k/i_want_to_reach_h40_with_melee_psyker_fun_is_that/

This thread amuses me.

Particularly the people saying a) bubble is too strong to give up or b) not taking bubble is making your teammates' lives worse

[thorn cedar]

while i agree for the sake of clarity that it's good that people now know what type of shield you're bringing as psyker on the mission start screen ......

...... makes sneaking in my melee and wall shield a lot harder

[crisp ether]

I see this thread

[ripe obsidian]

I genuinely wonder what an H25 meleeker looks like next to someone like bruh moment or s4lmon or ainz

[crisp ether]

And I want to say

[ripe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/rocky-horror-rhps-anticipation-gif-17626906969977658453

[crisp ether]

I do not give a damn what people run in my 40 tbh

Hell I never cared even when I was climbing because bubble purge always comes at the personal survivability of the psyker themselves

[ripe obsidian]

Bubble + Purg is the sad build

Sit in bubble and tick enemies down

Shriek is the brave build. Run at enemies and knock 'em over.

There's some guy named s4lmon in these reddit comments claiming he can get 2m damage on melee psyker. What a goof. What an absolutely sillyhead.

[crisp ether]

High havoc
30 minutes

These people have never touched havoc

Sorry but I had to call that out

I relented to my intrusive thoughts

[ripe obsidian]

No, I know

I think a lot of people in the comments are cosplaying

I just wanted to rib s4lmon

[crisp ether]

I figured.

And took a look

And saw that

Why must people steal valor to get brownie points on the internet

[ripe obsidian]

Because they want to feel special, I dunno.

Or they're in the mindset that they're H40-level and no one is giving them a chance just because their clearance is 19

[crisp ether]

This is now the second time I've seen this pertaining to havoc

Any remotely frequent player would know 30 minutes is either relatively low level havoc where the chances of hitting 2m are extremely low, or that is not only an outlier but an extreme outlier for high havoc

[ripe obsidian]

I just get amusement from roasting bad takes on reddit. I trust you would all roast me if my takes were so bad.

[marble crater]

We do, in the other secret discord

[ripe obsidian]

Good.

I deserve it

[ripe obsidian]

I would need to check my scoreboards, but I think I usually hit 2m between 35 and 40 minutes, depending on the map, seed, and my build.

[crisp ether]

My range is from 35-50

I've never seen a game last only 30

Ever

It may be possible ofc

[ripe obsidian]

I've done some sub-30 H40s

Not many

[crisp ether]

But that is for sure not a typical amount of time for a high havoc

I think my shortest was like

[ripe obsidian]

There was one where @rich spindle and @spice aurora decided halfway through Baross we were speedrunning, and I think that one was like 22 minutes.

[crisp ether]

32m?

In h40

[ripe obsidian]

With me desperately trying to keep up

I think my shortest legitimate H40 was like 27-28 minutes. It might still be in my match history.

Would've been a month or two ago. I think it was Relay Station or whatever the sandy satellite dish mission is

A pretty short map

[thorn cedar]

my shortest was 30s

we shortcut the entire mission via group suicide

[crisp ether]

Yeah relay station is just a very short map

[thorn cedar]

0 damage/30s = infinity

so its the best game of all time

[crisp ether]

But my thing is

That is not an average time

At all

To be using as a template to make a point

[ripe obsidian]

My average game length is probably like.. 38-42 minutes. Maybe 40-45.

It really depends on the team

[crisp ether]

I gotta say

If you can consistently make 30m games

That's one hell of a team you're running with

[rich spindle]

his internet was gonna cut out XD

[ripe obsidian]

When playing seriously with a premade, I'd say consistently getting under 35 on a medium to short map is possible

[ripe obsidian]

It was very funny. I just didn't expect to survive and was shocked I did.

[crisp ether]

For sure. But from a general sense

Ya that's not happening very often

[spice aurora]

@spare ember O yea I cut my internet off so I don’t degen game so when it gets like 10 pm and I have one last run its giga gamer mode time

getting so close
4/85 got to mid event

[marble crater]

All this tells me is that Poxwalkers are more dangerous than Ragers and I should focus Poxwalkers first

[fathom adder]

Speaking of melee psyker, what should I give up for One With The Warp and/or Warp Ghost? Using FGS and Laspistol

[verbal thistle]

imo, BcoB

[ripe obsidian]

There's also Warp Unbound, depending on how much you spam assail. But dropping BCoB is also valid

[ripe obsidian]

This is just more evidence melee psyker is trolling. 0 wins in 85 games? Absolute silliness

[spice aurora]

no one likes 20% msp talent on scriers qq

[ripe obsidian]

I think the movespeed talent is good if you're good. It's kinda a Win More node, in my experience. But I am not an expert on meleeker

[thorn cedar]

the issue with warp speed (which i fucken love btw) is that it ends with the standard scriers buff

if you cant keep that buff going for more than 10 seconds or something then you're not really pulling too much out of it

i, however, with my gigantic enlightened mind, recognize that its the perfect pairing for mind in motion cause i can just zoom around and quell in bursts

(but this also circles back to the first point cause in high havocs active quell is fucken shit and scriers uptime becomes difficult again)

[ripe obsidian]

I think Psyker, whether staffker or meleeker, is blessed with a number of good nodes that you can tweak to preference

nothing in that clip its just the sound of them spawning in

[ripe obsidian]

Your toughness breaks at the end. D:

[verbal thistle]

rodin shot me

[granite stratus]

all that trouble for a pair of striped clown pants

[fathom adder]

I like it, but as seen above I need every talent point for other things

[rich spindle]

is that actually a good spot or did you get lucky

looks like only a few guys can get in melee range

[verbal thistle]

I was trying to get around them

and got into that corner

and abused the slot system to get around

so its 50/50

half accident

[spice aurora]

Oo that’s where it is

[verbal thistle]

its both triggers

you can get the twins spawn closer by going street side

Thoughts on electro staff?

[dire wharf]

I worked on this penance a few days ago, ended a mission at 2498/2500.. lol

Why does malleus monstronum need to be done in a private match?

[zinc phoenix]

Newbie psykers would ask people in missions to let them solo the boss then the team would wipe while they waited forever for that to happen

Much malding

[dire wharf]

I'll save that one for last

[spice aurora]

plz join my group h40 on NA E under temu zealot, or im gonna hurt myself

i have auto click over accept button location

is full nvm, damn every1 join all at once

[glacial field]

Hey guys on voice strike staff

Is blazing spirit rly the best blessing?

[narrow herald]

Because then the penance would be too easy

Literally just get on a mission with a bunch people who have -5 sensitivity and you one shot a boss then leave

[plucky flax]

So tru

Nobody has ever done 2 mils damage in 30 mins.

[knotty saddle]

[glacial field]

yeah

its lowkey so bad

idk

[fathom adder]

Next patch Fatshark will rename Electrokinetic Staff to Voidbolt, Inferno Staff to Voidblaze, and Vraks Infantry Autogun to Voidbullet

And Bolt Pistol also to Voidbolt

[jovial juniper]

And they'll rename this empty feeling in my chest to just "void"

skullcrusher moment lol

[narrow herald]

Do the people on reddit just live in a different universe?

[plucky flax]

[narrow herald]

Like every time I look at reddit it's like I'm peering into another reality

Because it definitely isn't this one

[spice aurora]

i read comments and i wonder if we play the same game

[narrow herald]

I'm not even talking about just Darktide

Literally everything

[potent echo]

You are correct

[narrow herald]

I go on reddit for advice on getting a trimmer and they all give me answers of shit that don't exist

[potent echo]

You should definitely buy Novo Nordisk

[narrow herald]

I go on a mental health sub and ask for advice on my depression and they just straight up say: "sorry for your loss"

[potent echo]

Divorce immediately, hit the lawyer, gym up

[spice aurora]

"hey guys my bf pet my dog too hard wat do i do"

"hire a hitman and execute his family"

130 attempts so far

Idk if I'll get it done this month

It's gonna happen 1st try too like the other solos

[zealous wing]

got a couple days still

[verbal thistle]

But it's honestly the most fun i've had with darktide recently

[spice aurora]

thats wat im sayin

fgs got dat flow xD

[radiant frigate]

is that random-ass advice or random ass-advice

[wraith sphinx]

Both

[radiant frigate]

random-ass ass-advice

[wraith sphinx]

reddit ass-dvisory

[plucky flax]

Am I over reacting?

[summer prairie]

The ogryn explosion event is up I see

[radiant frigate]

yes it certainly caught me off guard

[cosmic sigil]

UWU

i was glad doing my arbites penances

and we were 3

[radiant frigate]

what penance was it

the middle keystone nonsense?

[cosmic sigil]

terminus warrant

YEP

[radiant frigate]

yee

"get 2000 ranged kills with this keystone selected"

not even active or anything

[cosmic sigil]

somehow it worked

[radiant frigate]

just pick keystone and shoot things

so stupid

[radiant frigate]

not a big fan of terminus warrant in general

[cosmic sigil]

well i can understand the critique

[radiant frigate]

it's like weapon spec but more annoying

more ammo-hungry

i do not like spending ammo for the sake of spending ammo

something about that just doesn't sit right with me

but i suppose it is a little less silly than burst limiter override penance

"shoot one gorillion bullets" okay cool

i will bring an ammo box to the end and then start magdumping the air

random bird flying by won't know what hit them

[cosmic sigil]

I THINK IT is valid

[wraith sphinx]

We need plague ogryn poxbursters

they instakill everything in a 100 m radius

[radiant frigate]

that travel in packs

[wraith sphinx]

and are silent

[radiant frigate]

and also full carapace

(like a fragmentation grenade)

[wraith sphinx]

indeed

this really darkens the tide

[radiant frigate]

there can be no hope in this hell

no hope at all

[radiant frigate]

yes but at some point i know my teammates sitting and waiting for me to shoot the air are going to get annoyed

it's a funny bit to do for a while

like celebrating the victory by holding down the trigger

lore accurate ogryn

you get so happy you won and the bullet dispenser makes loud noises that make you even happier

blessed is the mind too small for doubt

[wraith sphinx]

it's ok sibling I will simply be gun psykering in another hard game until darktide's next major update

I've finally managed to beat Underrail after many years of attempting and now I'm gonna replay the game with all the DLCs enabled and a gun/psionics hybrid build

[radiant frigate]

curious

[wraith sphinx]

Be warned, it is harder than your average crpg

I also recommend getting the Expedition DLC, it's widely regarded to be better than the base game

[wind wind]

Made the mistake of playing ogryn right before psyker lmao... From wrecking ball to glass cannon

[icy breach]

I came back to my old save for DD
I liked it
You fiend…
You did this…

[icy breach]

Underrail? Huh?

[plucky flax]

Dos2 combat > bg3 combat for me

Same with the narrator

[dire wharf]

Only 1 psyker penance left

[stone canyon]

Mewgenics combat > dos2/bg3

[cosmic sigil]

so i tried it

what do you use the most? the lmb or rmb?

[tepid crypt]

Wrong channel

Mb

[swift stag]

https://tenor.com/view/sobbing-gif-sobbing-uoooh-gif-24612778

[tepid crypt]

Still never got a response on the staffs

Is electro staff any good?

[dull scroll]

Yes

[cosmic sigil]

yes

[marsh dew]

It's better than people think but I wouldn't call it meta. The trick is to actually use the primary fire like an unlimited ammo warp machine gun. Take the talent that gives +20% damage after using fully charged secondary. Open with a charged attack, then spam lights. Works well with venting shriek to stagger to give you space and reduce peril. You can also go Scriers Gaze with FGS, spam until near critical peril, pop Scriers and get in to melee and once Scriers maxes you have a window of unlimited spam if you take the talent to avoid exploding when Scriers ends

[marsh dew]

I run both options successfully in Auric. I don't play much Havoc, not that I can't hack it, I just find most of the modifiers anti-fun and running non-meta builds often gets you passed over for invites

[cosmic sigil]

daily fuck havoc

[ripe obsidian]

LMB. I use RMB for beeg things, like Crushers or Bulwarks. Or if I really want to stun something, like a special

[cosmic sigil]

do you have a video of you using this build?

[ripe obsidian]

I don't record when I play, but when my PC is working again I can stream or something in Discord

[cosmic sigil]

also, I have not seen a melee build like mine in the google docs :/

[ripe obsidian]

Most of the melee builds are compiled from community members, because I do not meleeker often

[cosmic sigil]

oh!

I have two 😄

[ripe obsidian]

I can add them when I am home if you link them

[cosmic sigil]

do you need a description?

[ripe obsidian]

It helps, but it's not necessary

[summer prairie]

someone join our psyker game

[rigid sky]

I thought the RMB is dogshit into Crushers?

[ripe obsidian]

On EK? It's decent damage, worse than using melee tho, and it's a guaranteed stun unless they're CC immune

So it's not great, but it's better than plinking away with LMB

Ideally you'll poke 'em in the noggin with FGS, but sometimes that's not feasible. For me, at least

[rigid sky]

The stun is valuable at least, definitely

[ripe obsidian]

The damage output of EK RMB is pretty lackluster.

[rigid sky]

It's very breakpointy

Typically fine for anything Mauler sized or smaller from what I remember but it has been a long time

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, joy, another event in place of a real content update

Fatshark pls.

[jovial juniper]

I just stopped to think about it and we keep getting event after event

It's lovely

[dire wharf]

Fatshark: we hear you wanted more crusher trains

[jovial juniper]

Considering the initial years

With nothing

https://tenor.com/view/polly-o-cheese-nothing-nuttin-pizza-gif-5817644302252767462

Hestia with the decapitation event, we salute you

🫡

[ripe obsidian]

This event is also mean to Psykers

It's another event to sell Hive Scum b/c unlimited grenades

[zealous wing]

everyone gets unlimited grenades tho

[ripe obsidian]

No class has grenades as flashy or as impactful as scum

[marble crater]

We already had unlimited grenades, this is just a nerf

[zinc phoenix]

Rending trauma mains rejoice!

Reee at the ogs with rending trauma

[ripe obsidian]

It's an event to sell Scum. That is my conspiracy theory.

Get whatever holdouts are left to give into the Boom Bringer

[zinc phoenix]

It doesn’t have any new mechanics and crusher trains don’t really feel novel so I’m not sure why they did it

[ripe obsidian]

I genuinely do believe it's a sales tactic.

Scum sold less than Arbiter, and management told the devs to come up with an event to make it sell more

[zinc phoenix]

Surely they’d make a cool event

[ripe obsidian]

Not necessarily

They'd just make one where Scum excels more than anyone else
