Ight so like, fair question, what blessings y'all be using on fgs
And am I an idiot for using unstable power
Run with shred.
unstable power is ideal especially with assail
free power
I like riposte but shred might be better idk
If unstable power is that 5% str per 20% peril 20% max one.

heard it helps on havoc but idk
Now on some real shit, shred or unstable

I'm using a SG build and ion wanna take off blazing spirit
Doing some goofy shit with soulblaze and malefic momentum
More, pointless on lower diffs, and you usually get warp splitting.
Gotcha
I wish it was a thing but every weapon that can apply it generally kills on crits anyway idk
If only it is in inferno just to soulblaze harder, yes? XD
This is my vile creature I cooked up over the span of 30 minutes
Plans to use recon las and fgs with blazing spirit to apply lots of fire for malefic
It worked pretty well in the training area ngl
in a sense, inferno has blazing spirit built in because it adds extra stacks on a crit
ngl I hate it but there's a decent chance you're just cooking something my brain is too smooth to understand
LMFAO
It's ub
Uh
It's something that's for sure
Heresy testing here I come
(also it's like 40 seconds of uptime on SG)
If ur getting kills and shit
Oooooh tell us when you'll test it
I've been wondering for a while if scrier's works with inferno
But add MORE on crits.
It does.
I'm not using inferno 
Really spicy with peril juggling though.
Recon las and fgs, playing melee psyker
Don't ask why I know
Can just lean on warp unbound
Or ehm, I made a meleeker build for someone and forgot to swap back.
I like edging peril š
So I entered a game and was... what is my ult? Where vent???
It's so fun hearing the demons all game ā¤ļø
As a console player, I've installed the anti warp effect mod with my mind
I just physically don't see it anymore
That's just peril fx 0.
In settings.
I suppose I'ma leave it on
Yeah. I forgot which tab.
I like the visual aid and whatknot
I don't have much trouble with the screen effects in this game, I'm used to other games being worse with that but between the screen turning green, the shaking and the fumes idk why HS went live like that
I'll mention I play this game without audio
You can just lower it.
Without... Audio ?
I play on 20%.
So some effects but not flashbang
So every single one?
Same way you play with sound
Bursters have a sound??
I just watch corners for the lil glow
They got a funny orange hue around em
I-I'll go lie down a bit
This is probably why trappers and dogs are the bane of my existence
I'm too old for this
I bet those guys make a lot of noise
My tension is too high
You can just mute music.
Why listen to the screams of heretics when, music
Because the heretics will kill you š
Darktide music is awesome though
I mean sometimes I have a podcast on when I play but I still have sounds on at same time
Maybe this is why I'm hard stuck damnation
It might be yeah
Knowing damn well I don't care to go higher
Well, if you're fine with it, I don't think sound makes much of a difference in damnation so you should be good !
I suppose I'll unmute the game
Is this gonna be like when I discovered how to block push
Yeeeeeessss
It'll also make you like some weapons a lot more
Like bolters, and voidstrike
Voidstrike isn't the best, but the delayed SMACK sound of it hitting a cluster of shotgunner heads is just exquisite
Don't feel bad, I'm constantly listening for them yet they're still getting me
Makes you genuinely believe in the emperor for a moment
Here's the heretic Commissar
You calling for a Heretic Commissar?
Here's the other heretic, they're trying their mind tricks !!!!!
Likely. Then again, you could could be blasting GENOCIDE to heck. The Flowering Night by 5150.
What mind tricks?
"To question is to doubt"
That's only if you are fodder. Rise up.
Ight so
I'm doing my garbage build in the event
And it's kinda cookin

Just need to use a different gun, maybe swap mks on my recon
Nobody has ever been able to answer me properly, does sustained fire and punishing salvo reset after every 4 shots
Only if you stop shooting.
Gotta burst fire.
They are the opposite of blaze away where you wanna just hold trigger.
Blaze away on recon las when
no I ended the recording because my framerate was dead anyway
How do I get good enough to play auric maelsyrom, just keep playing?
new event leaked
yes and also, watch some videos about thechniques and stuff
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'll cook you
Is FS. They don't know how to seperate sound volume and effect strength.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293278399
Kuli has the answers you seek
You need to stop shooting to reset it
Thats it
The biggest things I recommend practicing are target priority and movement. Particularly knowing where to back up so you don't get cornered.
So long as you have space to move, you're significantly more mobile than any enemy. If you end up backing into a wall or a corner, you're taking away your biggest advantage
Sometimes it doesn't work out, and sometimes the director screws you with bombers or a wall of bulwarks
As for sustained fire:
"The blessing is active again only after leaving the active shooting state (i.e. when weapon sway and spread have reset fully after firing)."
@cosmic sigil @ripe obsidian thank you
I've been working on this a lot lately and it helps
Increasing controller sensitivity has been huge too, I can actually check my back fast now
It's also why it's a good idea to have at least one person on your team who can reliably make space. So Trauma Psyker, BtL Arby, Tauntgryn, etc. Because even the best players will make mistakes or be forced into bad corners sometimes
So having someone who can compensate for such mistakes is invaluable
It's another reason why Shriek is better than Bubble
Shriek will stagger things and give you a moment to breathe
Already told them.
With bubble, you get cornered and cry
Karien's carryin'
Unless that's me on trauma. I'm too traumatised to be of help.
Your screaming is trauma-tizing; permanent psychic dmg & debuff
You Banshee

This is why you immediately tell me to go fire stick or electric stick.
Trauma + Shriek is quite good at clearing space. Downside is that Trauma does so little damage without Soulblaze
Like 900-1100 damage on a mostly charged RMB
Takes like 6 RMBs to kill an Auric crusher. 2x that for Havoc
6? It's already taking so long, I get to vent twice.
6 assuming you hit the same Crusher with the center of the blast
Which is often pretty misleading
Oh, yeah. Hard to aim.
I'd love to have a Trauma variant that did way more focused damage
Like, small AoE but double the damage on the center target
It's kinda hard to aim, and if an enemy is like 51% outside of the circle, you do super reduced damage. It's not a smooth falloff
Nah; it does alot - blaze trauma is good but flurry rending trauma is better
Flurry + Rending is better against heavy targets, sure. Because Trauma has 80% ADM on flak and carapace
Extra hard for me. I just end up panicking blasts everywhere and killing wrong things.
But Blazing Trauma has a better time against mixed hordes and ranged enemies
It's a matter of preference and what you want to kill faster
Event probs flurry rend, but I CBA to make another trauma.
Its good for stagger tho cause you can manipulate the weapon so you apply medium stagger then heavy stagger to prolong the inactivity of the enemy; this includes twins especially
Chaf donāt matter; the spd you can spam your RMB offsets blaze on crit (which only stacks to 6 and thats dogshit)
Shriek clears spread out chaf
It's the Blaze + Shriek that matters, and even 6 stacks will burn through chaff quickly enough
So does fast charging blasts
yea, i sometmes wish people would let me explode all the barrels first, but everybody rushes so I don't. then it's almost guranteed that someone gets barrelled off lol
Depending on how confident you are with peril management, I think it's worth swapping Empyric Resolve to PotS on blazing trauma builds.
Yeah but you already have perilous so⦠yeah; and even in havoc 6 blaze is enough considering micro dmg from AoE around the circle
I'm not outside of fire stick tbh.
Mostly cos that is low peril anyway.
Or flat chunks like assail.
Easy to count shots.
I will agree that Shriek is significantly stronger than Blazing in general. I use LMB EK + Shriek a lot in Havoc, and just Shriek + PC will do half my overall damage. It's goofy.
More so at 280 ping since US West.
Trauma is probably the hardest stick to manage peril on
A single RMB is like 20% peril
EK says hi.
EK has an RMB?
Not with ER
Pepperidge farms remembers.
I know. I was talking about without ER
gotta min-cast with r-tap
this rotation and you'll edge forever
ER isn't needed
Ppl undervalue RMB on EK its criminalā¦
I have an ER build and non-ER build for Trauma. I use the ER one more just because without ER I am dangerously edging constantly
I do that on the non-ER build and I do fine. It's just a lot more demanding than using ER
Depends on how much brain I want to use
Usually I do not want to brain
I'm already traumatised on ER+10% peril cost.
it's pretty brainless, unless you want to greed more than min-cast, then all bets are off 
I'm about to go another 10%+WS stacks peril reduction.
Casting more = more dmg & more CC
Also more safe when in a very hectic & stressful situation you overperil yourself
Isn't your trauma build using SG?
But sacrificing KD reeeeeeeeeeee
the blazing one, the shriek one I use rending
It's the hectic situations that get me
https://youtu.be/d-B2SxQ-1Y0 like so
Share builds pls
Oh ye; i got that build uploaded btw as in video
You can carry me, WDYM. Pretty sure you kappa around.
Someone found out when they expected me to solo them. Ah yes, one by one BB.
Here 
Iām still yet to write a guide for it; tba 
https://youtu.be/tVC5CaGOnFY
Trying to get footage for this build has been the most cursed journey I ever experienced so far; disconnects, BS moments every veteran of this game lived through like silent poxbursters or shooters being extra... but its finally here!
Enjoy!
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a12f2e35-6c55-4988-9806-ee24c818eb68/rending-vb-shriek that's what I normally use in 40s, the one in vid I switched to EP or else I get owned by reapers solo
Wait, so ep is legit?
it's always legit lol
I went to it cos BB wasn't one shotting crushers.
On WS without literally hitting max everything.
Want it in the build guide?
Ay; would be sweet!
Here are the weapons & talent tree
Its very⦠WS but between your ranged & blitz usage; melee is purely situational - vid should show it 
I can do that when I get home
I am curious of your Mettle and Perfect Timing uptime without Warp Nexus or Wildfire
I was just thinking about that, I can greed those two points for something else now I think about it
Yeah rending shockwave build doesn't focus crit at all
Crits are bad at base on it too iirc
I found wildfire to be purely an enabler for soulblaze related talent buffs
Not dmg spreading
Oops, I meant Soul Drinker
I mistyped
+5% crit chance
I feel like once you see the nightmare I run on my trauma, you all will gain san damage.
Its good cause its overtime toughness regain
Only that really
Crit is⦠just there
Iāll bully you woman if its horrid
I suspect I need to maybe path it. Edit: I forgot I have it pathed.

On the topic of Wildfire and damage, if an enemy has 1 stack of Soulblaze and you Shriek them, the damage is 33% higher than just shriek.
6 stacks is 24 base damage. 7 is 32
two shots from primary supresses them most of the time 
my new build now, tankiness is going through the roof š
% is good; base value is oof
I forgot is now common pathed.
Or just blast them with RMB⦠theyāll stagger
And use your Brain Rupture
is it really just 2 shots, did you test? regardless I'll check it out later, might be big
Shit has 1.25 adm vs unyielding
its heresy here because its my meme build but
ill load up an h40 psyk and test there to confirm
wont work on CC immune obviously
I had to sacrfice KD in the end.
but before they get tolled or sometrhing it seems to work all the way up through auric and h17, which is the highest i've tested so far
Get anticipation 
I'm out of points.
Take away battle meditation
Done ez
And yeah, that's blaze trauma.
But peril cost reduction.
I think this is more or less identical to my rending + Shriek build. Only I might have ER. Not positive
if you don't greed above min-cast, no peril reduction of any kind is needed for all staffs other than inferno
that rotation is too OP
the 30% solidarity is needed actually, might screw the rotation if greeded
You have ER you donāt need more
i was worried about hp pool increases but it still might be a great support type
As I mentioned, I don't have issues running it without ER. I do it in H40 regularly. It's just a matter of how little I want to use my brain. Without ER I have to be more aware of my peril
rending trauma, with surge
i can reliably suppress non-cc-immune enemies, but also take them out if necessary
More, need to get used to it. But is trauma and it traumatises me.
if i could get myself off of ER, it'd free up 3 points for me to use
but every time i take it off, my muscle memory fucks me over
I ran without it, that run vent got used 5 times more often.
Because I kept hitting perils.
looks like ES is also back on the menu for even the trauma staff for me š
ES?
Oh, that. I can't hit projectiles at 280+ ping. Burny stick is RNG enough like flamer is. XD
:(
š
i run it
not on main builds but on this build im engineering specifically for my playstyle... its doing well
it makes six sad
this is what i have at the moment, and six weeps and that makes me laugh
but everything is being very carefully thought out
every point has a reason to be where it is
if only ER was closer, i dont need solidity or the minor range damage node 
hmm although...
i could test with battlemed and the minor peril generation node, might free up one point for me if i can be just as cozy with -20% generation rather than the -40%
biggest downside might be the quelling on battle med so testing indeed
Just be so unlucky, it doesn't proc at all. Heh.
It was always slept on
- Brain Rupture with EP covers for that reaper weakness you had

lol no, I only had to EP BB, but now with this primary spamming suppression I'm going right back to Siphon
More shriek is 100x more OP
Iāve seen some amalgamations & abominations of a talent tree in my life but this is smth else

Its good
I prefer to be able to kill specials & bosses & tougher elites faster & better
Since Flayer benefits from EP without consuming the stacks + it achieves very important breakpoints
And thats me saying it - iām not into ābreakpoints are everythingā type of a dude

Breakpoints are too much effort
I tend to lean into talents that make the game easier for me to play. Hence Quietude over Empyric Shock on EK LMB, or Empyric Resolve on Trauma. Mathematically optimal, probably not, but they allow me to relax a little more
good evening gentlemen
3 months in the future >.>
i just went to the corner shops for some milk
warp based time fuckery obviously occured
Welcome back 
im glad to be back with yall, even if i dont have much time for discord at the moment :)
So you are saying my builds are sane.
amalgamation, yes, abomination, perhaps, but its working
In regards to BB tho; very important
If you wanna know them i can share
(you definitelly know right?)
main thing im missing is malefic momentum for some extra knife damage for when i need it, or some extra assail damage when im weaving, because if im weaving i need the assistance
so if i can make do with -20% peril gen (i seem to be doing fine), maybe i can make do with -10%, then back down to none, freeing up 2 more points total
for trauma specifically

almost got a run yesterday
its always the 1st trys of the day that gets the furthest
I could probably figure them out if I tried. I just haven't ever bothered
266 attempts holy shit
It's honestly very fun
It's been so long since I actually tried so hard
The only times I get annoyed is bulwarks and BoN
This adds up to 268.
Whoops
very long
taking damage is for nerds
well if i stack every single peril-reducing thing possible on a deflector IV force sword with 80% warp res and scryer's gaze
blockmaxxing means taking stam and block eff on the sword, three stam curios with block eff, take every peril reduction node on the tree + ER and warp charges
and ofc kinetic def on the tree
obviously
you basically cannot be block broken
scryers gaze with the peril reduction subnode?
im subbing that in because i dont have a bunch of baller curios
sadly
my curios are MID
We are all mid except Ainz
and they are mostly toughness and stamina because i am POOR and OF MIDDILING SWAG
deflector on the sword right
oh yea
like, obviously
and if we're blockmaxxing
and by now i mean like two years ago or something lmao
we HAVE to take the block ranged attacks thing
if only because it feels right
like
cmon
looking at a sniper and just being like
"I cast nuh uh"
snipers will still fuck you
yes
its very rude
assail or BB with KF for a knife melee build
nvm blaze greatsword is way better than that sloppy knife
how far did you get
At mid event with twins dead
And it was after ranged seed and event was melee ambiance so it probably switched for the rest of the map
Ay yo why your knife sloppy dawg
??????
Nerd
do psyker even have any synergy with scum? im doing so much less dmg when scum is on my team, or i feel bubbles are too static and rather unnecessary when they're running around like chickens etc.
Because scum can actually go toe to toe with psyker offensively
And scum also has to push out more to get their benefits
Unless it's stimm crate.
I feel like either the game hates me or trolls me. Because this would be nice if it wasn't TRAUMA.
Scum and Psyker are both DPS-focused. But Scum is (usually) burstier. Can't scale up soulblaze if everything is already dead.
Bubble also loses value the better or more aggressive your team is.
they are the ultimate dot slop duo
soulblaze kills everything that isnt a crusher or boss and toxin kills crushers and bosses
You have synergy in the sense that both of you are the most busted classes in the game and slaughter everything on the screen
needle is like inverted purg staff
Needle can also be Temu purge staff 
is anticipation worth it for fgs?
It would be op on melee or fire stick.
Worth it on every build tbh
I just wanted another staff for rend flurry.
Yeah scum can deal damage much faster
I can kill gunners and specialists in like 3 shots of my iag on h40
I would say IF nades are available, scum is more powerful than psyker
It helps but isn't needed, try with and without it
I would agree. Psyker is just not very bursty outside of FGS.
life is good with anticipation
It's good to have something to look forward to.
No fishy crits. Flak + Carapace is a solid choice.
Rending Trauma is about the only non-crit Psyker build
I don't even use EE on Blazing trauma anymore
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a12f2e35-6c55-4988-9806-ee24c818eb68/rending-vb-shriek
This is Vect's build. Very similar to mine, but I don't like Just a Dream
You could use PotS on Rending Trauma, but the value is pretty negligible as compared with Blazing. It will increase the damage of your first hit by up to 25% against flak and carapace, but does very little past that.
B/c that first RMB will get you over 100% ADM on those enemies with brittleness
Not really
Almost a waste of point imo
But like
Anticipation is a nice node to have.
Have it.
I just realised I forgot ER.
Explains why every blast was 25% peril.
ER makes Trauma less stressful
Rending trauma pairs great with another full soulblaze psyker
street smarts on arbi, antic on psyker 
I know.
Antics, you say? I shall engage in antics.
No, only trauma.
Also, I think crit blaze feels safer to play.
Blazing can get away without the toughness nerf talent since you don't need to leverage flurry
So you can weave quells and ride the max warp nexus
Funny thing is, I ran that without ER like a goof.
I hate that talent tbh
Strike. Sadly underpowered.
Takes 3 working days to charge.
damn, that is sad because i love it
Hits too little.
Considering both peril cost AND Charge time.
EK is kinda meh now with the HP increase.
i do agree it takes way too long to charge for the damage
it's kind of strange that all the staves have the same primary fire
Feel like laziness.
the absence of a beam staff is glaring
either a staff that fires a piercing high damage single ray or a continuous one, both would be awesome
So you want Plasma but inf ammo.
i mean hey, by that logic the voidstrike staff's ideal state is also kind of just plasma but inf ammo it's a piercing high damage projectile just bigger and slower :p
which i guess also speaks to the potential redundancy of that concept but i dunno i just wanna fire a psyker hyperbeam what can i say
Plasma but dook, sure.
definitely could use a continuous beam as a primary fire mode on a staff tho
Is there a psyker build for spamming brianblast
no
BB, kinetic resonance, scriers gaze with warp unbound and the peril generation pathway, empowered psionics
Ep and wall is my favorite build
ek popping off
Blessings:
Unstable Power VS Wrath
Unstable Power.
Unless you refuse to press SG ever and is playing ganger with beeg sword but no rockets.
20% strength, or some extra cleave on top of +100% cleave you should already have from warp splitting
strength being damage and impact, impact being stagger
So immaterial focus, what actually stuns you in this game and what's considered a stun??
things that interrupt your attacks or data interrogation
So that perk is used for the 10% dr huh
mostly yes
pogsburster
Rending Trauma + Shriek
Not entirely convinced it's better than blazing trauma + shriek
Probably better for your team tbh
this is a game of comparable length with blazing
Flurry definitely feels nice to use, though
I dont think the amount of soulblaze fire trauma puts out is worth it in havoc
vs rending
and flurry
I have a much easier time managing peril with flurry
gotta stick to min-cast and The Rotationā¢
people tries to greed max-cast is not worth it, even on rending
except maybe when you purposefully try to knock down a crusher down
I am struggling with where I want to put my last point. This is 29/30. I have been using PotS, since it boosts my first hit against anything flak and carapace, but I am not sure it's worth it. I do not want to use JaD. Maybe ES to make killing specials with LMB easier?
I am unsure if PotS gives any meaningful breakpoint before Rending Shockwave makes it pointless
It's enough for chaff clear, I believe, with 6 stacks. Or close. Plus, crit build gives you Perfect Timing for +15% damage. Mettle is nice, too, but less important. Maybe the real meta is Flurry + Nexus for Perfect Timing and RMB spam. =|
Probably not. But it's funny to think about.
well, Perfect Timing is +15% damage on all enemies for you. Whereas Rending fully charged is +10% minimum damage to flak, maniac, unyielding, and carapace for your whole team
B/c even over 100% ADM, you get 1/4 effectiveness as damage
interesting
gun psyker is
especially with vraks
vraks gun psyker is very silly
I don't think I've done vraks a lot, more so recon las or shredder
friendship ended with gun psyker (after the mettle change)
now surge staff is my best friend
What mettle change
toughness over time as opposed to instant 5% on crit
Oh thats been a while
in relation to what though
vraks gunsyker
Is that a mod?
Also does psyker have a boss killing build thatās anything near Zealots? They one shot bosses from full hp in a havoc
no but there is some silly stuff
mainly crit + weakspot building
or brainburst scrier
or shriek
He was at like 200k boss dmg and the rest of the group was at 10-20k xd
also yea power di
I play electro staff with brainrot and shriek and do a little bit of everything but thereās no way I can do anything like zealots and hive scum at least
But I have double everyone elseās kills at least
But isnāt the cast really slow?
yea most builds are more specialized
theres an extra talent with it that increases speed on ability use
which if you have something you can trigger often its not bad
Cause I could run inferno staff for clear or just play greatsword with that right?
yea they technically do similar but
inferno staffs main thing is the long secondary
Then spam brain burst casts on bosses
if you use the damage ramp up blessing + warp flurry its actually p good
or brittlness to soften everything
just depends on build but once you get what you like itll be good
Yeah was thinking brittleness too but Iād use it strictly to compensate for my reduced ability to clear since Iām specced into boss smog right?
The staff
I just donāt own a good boss killing build
just depends on if you want to clear or you want to help your team
I play scrier smite or electro staff shriek
i started using vraks on crit psyker and its pretty good at melting bosses but
its also just really good at everything
killing everything that is
not much team helping
Iām pretty new so I still need to test things out
yea
you could just experiment with different builds
i used loadouts to start doing that

loadouts are great for experimenting with new stuff
Idc for team helping, I take ogryn, veteran or zealot to do the team helping
I wanna be the lawn mower
you can help and kill
ill make my build and then post it one sec
yea
just the build specifically
always help teammates (unless your teammate can get them while you fend off enemies)
unless you're doing high havoc, most classes can just do more than one thing
Currently I have a loadout for inferno staff, melee build, scrier smite, electro shriek, forceblast staff and some meme build with combat knife and assail which I lack the skills to play
Help how? I always stay with team and cover them ad much as possible
what do you call help?
well there's no heal
Revive
Nah but zealots can heal back purple hp and give u full toughness
And cc everything
that's just corruption cleanse
I feel the most helpful when I play smite psyker
and it can't go past a full wound
Actually bubble is really helpful
well, smite is a bit antithetical when it comes to helping
How?
Best is fgs mk6 heavy spam
because a lot of mechanics and classes rely on dodging for survivability and damage
If that is our best boss dmg psyker is bad at killing bosses?
I thought community perception is psyker is best at everything
I wouldn't say bad i routinely get highest boss damage
But i like hitting bosses and random pugs dont
i have posted my build
But u are not doing the majority of the dmg in that clip even
yes they are
Tru it was just how fast we killed the twins. I did get highest boss damage in that round tho
Alright just wanted to check
I can get most boss dmg but if thereās a hive scum or zealot I just feel like thereās no way that should be the case
depends on everyone's build really
Depend on skills xd
well that too ofc
I have none
That looks very much like a fgs build with playing the right side
Anyway I dont think psyker has bad boss damage at least from my own experience. Playstyle difference and all that tho
I have good boss damage
Personally
Yeah I think Iāve only played with stealth boss build zealots past 10 games cause the bosses die in legit 1 hit
I think most of my builds don't, but I have a lot of staff builds
Cool I got red name
just mash heavies into face#
gg
does one gorillion damage on weakspot crit
not like comically large zealot backstabs but we do other things better
TBH Iāve had a much easier time on my ogryn and zealot cause of how much survivability I have
psyker has arguably just as much if not more at times
Idk I feel like I get oneshot so easily

skill issue (you need to be less skilled)
What
but yeah psyker has less innate survivability
realistically only overheads oneshot you
but toughness generation is through the roof
solution? run like a witch every time melee elites show up
I either never die or I get trapped and insta die basically
trapper is certain death for all classes
zealot just lives the longest there because of until death
Make dog tear off net
No but I die legit 0.1 sec after Iām trapped and my guard is down
lone wolf in shambles
that is normal
yeah
lone wolf L
man's best friend W
the lone wolf dies
the pack survives
Havenāt had that happen as zealot yet but only done havoc 17 on it
that just depends on the speed of which you're rescued
We should start carrying scissors
and which is why max revive speed is best
Iām only 75 hours in so my sample size for the other classes isnāt that big yet
I play that on my zealot only
But other classes can ignore everything while they revive
nothing can ignore stuff like fire
but speed helps you stay in the fire for a lot less time
the less time you stay immobilized the better
for all parties involved
Idk met this ogryn gigachad who just kept reviving ppl in the middle of like 20 enemies
yeah, but so can psyker if you run kinetic deflection
other classes can just create short bursts of CC and revive people fast after
arby and ogryn right?
ogryns can throw off dogs sometimes but idk what triggers it, seems really random
^
ogryns is the middle keystone
feel no pain
if you have one of the extra talents to it
oooh
Afaik you need to position better as psyker than anything else since itās so easy to get caught out?
ah pained outburst
I love soulblaze killing stuff while I'm dead
zealot if you're chilling in your own flame grenade
zealot can technically also do it with Master's Retribution but it only stops the pounce
oh that's pretty epic actually
there's no class you don't need to position yourself well with
other classes might have easier outs than psyker
like emergency toughness and such
Ogryn zealot seems really braindead in comparison
ogryn is so much more positioning than zealot
zealot can def be braindead at times
all of zealot's abilities have easy toughness regen or replenishment in some way
ogryn can be caught out in the open easier and just succumb to gunfire
or just left behind because you're playing with randoms who forget ogryn moves slower
Cant stop me speeding
why is there a kobold
Why not?
Kobolds get everywhere and take up space.
Though, admittedly not a lot of space, but it starts to count up the more kobolds there are.
And there's never just one kobold.
Hello chat
Morning
And their loot sucks. Best to just exterminate em
Sometimes 3 of them get in a trenchcoat and pretend to be an adventurer
But but but, Deekin.
insanely funny name btw
Hive scum need a 2h sword
Hive scum does not be having warpshock slash lol
wait fuck he's so accurate actually
"Warpshock slash?"
"We got RPG."
"Purgatus staff?"
"We got 9 billion bullets per second."
"Armor piercing soulblaze?"
"Needle pistol."
I have no idea tbh
Whenever I see a scum in my games I say >:( and lock in to outperform them. Sometimes I even succeed
"Voices from the warp?"
"Mucker we've got meth."
I wish I had your hive scum
Typically I find hive scum to be a similar case with a lot of arby's, where it ends up being "They don't die very quickly, but they don't kill anything or provide team buffs"
that said I can't say mean words about hive scum bc the first 40 I cleared was with the most locked in hive scum in existence & 2 goobers who single handedly contributed to our team's 14 deaths
It was truly crazy work
so we effectively played a havoc 40 with 2 characters for 90% of the mission, was honestly quite incredible
but I was also playing martyrdom hammer zealot rather than my psyker
so we got to just skip the bossfights
as for how tf we survived the hordes, we pretty much just ran back to previous sections and held chokes, was very tedious
I have had some good scum, a couple bad
More good than bad
Oh my lord I had a Martyr + Sneaky Zealot last night who couldn't figure out how to bop bosses
buh
They had like 250k boss damage at the end of the match
How do you get scoreboard to work anyhow?
Dis was the match
You still get voices, right?
:)
I can give you the file when I get home. It's also in the darktide modding discord
To be fair
I did manage to get one of the bosses with a oneshot, I only picked up the relic blade the other day which is why I was in auric rather than havoc :)
Was that you...?
Well then.
I don't know
The username was Scotsman or something
oh no
I am john warhammer
And john psykerphrenia
And johnald-big-rashun
I have a type.
Well
My arby is named Keith Davids.
Switch things up a little.
We still won, but bosses took a long time to die
yea no ok
last night i was having a difficult time oneshotting bosses because we were killing them too fast for me to get in position
and I still did manage to do most the damage to them & get a couple oneshots lol
i am east coast btw
I was holding off hordes and just like, "I hope this Pogryn doesn't come over and headbutt me off a cliff"
lul
I am also NA East. I more or less only play H40 or event missions unless being goofy with friends.
All of my characters are named something like Spoony-Threepus or Joony-Dreepus
Because it amuses me
I think I remember a spoony
What's the thought process behind your build btw?
I keep around 3 builds in pocket on my psyker
@deft stump have you encountered this creature
No. I just see weird names past first and stare.
US East is also near 400 ping
I'm not taking trauma anywhere near 400 ping.
if you could send me an invite I would be most appreciative, would love for my game to not "out of memory" explode when I have cut myself down to like, 10 mods lol
Purga is hard enough with gambling on puffs to hit.
Assail only works because autoaim by server to some degree.
Same with EK.
darn lost consignment yard duo in the finale
the most powerful spell of all
Elitus Deletus
Which one? I have a lot
voidblast/obscurus
i am a purgatus + deimos/mkvi fgs fan for my psyker personally
Melee mostly being what I use to deal with elites moreso than hordes
Ah. I have a few builds there. This one was rending + shriek. There's also blazing + shriek and blazing + scrier's
I don't use bubble often
But in this case, I was trying out rending + shriek. I've not used it much. Several people here feel it's stronger than Blazing + Shriek, though. It has an easier time with heavy enemies and Flurry allows you to RMB more often and with better peril control. Not using crit nodes frees up talent points for more tankiness, which is nice. Even without Blazing I still do 1/3 or so of my total damage as Soulblaze from Shriek. Clears hordes nicely.
Assuming all of your allies have 100% ADMs already, Rending is also a 10% damage boost for your team on flak, maniac, carapace, and unyielding enemies once fully stacked
This is the base build I am using, though I am still debating the last point.
There are four options that seem potentially viable.
- Penetration of the Soul, which is only good on Trauma b/c you have 80% ADMs on flak and carapace. This only has a meaningful benefit on the first blast. Once an enemy has brittleness on them, PotS becomes mostly useless.
- Empyric Shock for potentially faster LMB kills on specials.
- Malefic Momentum for a big melee boost.
- Just a Dream to be tankier. I just hate JaD screwing with my peril
Now you see

The biggest difference I noticed was Flurry making peril management a lot easier
B/c I can release a minimum charge RMB faster
Thats why i never take JaD - bait talent
lightning speed is also an option for faster staff spam at gunner lines 
JaD is my nemesis. Along with basic shooters.
Its also allows for faster responce & better CC cause you cast faster so you do dmg mainly from the blast which is high cause trauma
In the game I screenshotted, I had about 800k ranged damage, 650k soulblaze, and 300k blitz
And like 75k melee, but whatever
Error 2014 is my nemesis
Reasonable
rending shriek is real nice for event
I still haven't finished the event
3 wins thus far. Got frustrated playing with randoms.
run I just did, we competed for soulblaze but most of my dmg was from blast so
How dare they touch your soulblaze
I think they were both bubble so they couldn't compete
im just using the pinned build for shriek rending, it's working well
Is that one of my builds...? I genuinely can't recall if I have one of those in the guide yet.
Just a few specials.
not sure, it's this
If it's in the Bonanza, I made it
I'd probably modify that one a little bit based on experience with the build since initially making it
yeah it's similar to what you posted above
I might try shifting battle meditation to anticipation
Probably worth trying
I reverse drop attacked this burster, it never saw me coming
I wish it were easier to compare builds in action. But the game is just too volatile and inconsistent to get good data. Argh. Argh! I hate that skill is the defining factor, not mathematically optimal builds. Not that I can do the optimal math anyway.
smh scoreboard cope
I'm just bad at the game
I need perfect builds to make up for my poor play
Though this is the true perfect build.
No, not really. I am pretty decent most of the time. Sometimes I have bad games, but my mechanics are solid (not exceptional) and I am rarely dead weight
Though I struggle in high difficulties outside of Psyker and Arby. Probably due to lack of practice with other classes. My biggest struggle is, usually, identifying and killing specials at a distance. When not on my two main classes, I am often the lowest special kill count. Even on, like, plasma vet
I've completed H40 on every non-Vet class at least once. When I did it on Ogryn, my corpse was dragged over the finish line. Psyker and Arby I am confident, Scum I am... okay. Zealot I am not great but I probably won't be the reason we lose. Vet and Oggy, I am a liability
Whatās the best psyker build to do mortis trials below 25 min
Probably Meleeker.
Fastest kill times on bosses.
Try to get the Fire & Blood major blessing. If the game RNG is with you
It absolutely shreds everything
I haven't tried it
If Soulblaze worked with the fire blessings in Mortis, Psyker would be better
But I have found Psyker to be kinda eh in Mortis. No goofy grenade builds, no fire boosts.
Try something with scrier's
Getting fire on ranged attack then shocked enemies take way more damage
Sounds better than it actually plays tbh
And imo, use a gun (but focus melee) I like recon lasgun with scrier's gaze a lot
I dub this the "definitely a vet" build, running this with a recon las is peak gameplay lmfao

The DMG increase and -% peril gen
DD is a bigger damage increase
Yes but no -% peril gen
Helps keep SG up for longer
Purloin Providence
Idk you can use either
Purloin Providence is not a very good node, tbh
I just prefer keeping siphon up, plus the cool down for when gaze ends
Just helps keep gaze constant
Gaze should be constant without CDR
this build is insanely cursed
Mind in motion can be swapped for that
Mm is hard to upkeep without actually using BB
This is so sad.. 100 like
Gotta get krak in the build somehow
+25% da-mahj
assail is a warp attack
Brain Burst with the 10 heads exploding
assail triggers MM
Oh fair ig
MM gives you 25% gun damage

BB fun, plus helps upkeep siphon with the execute
It's definitely cursed
Absolutely nowhere near good
but is fun
Is warp splitting as good as everyone says it is 
Yeah it's good
Is it worth breaking my back trying to get tho
i be skipping it atm
I use fgs
Not needed
Nice
Just saying ts in mortis trials with either the crit path or death dealer is amazing
Just hold the trigger forever
The attack speed node makes your gun fire faster too
Get the attack speed node before or Iāll hurt myself
Ok Iām untying the noose
^
I forgot I had mind in motion on ngl
I don't actually quell so I forgot
but you do reload
Yes
(i am a mind in motion denier)
I don't usually use it
I had it on for funsies
Idk I'm doing heresy mortis trials rn, my ass just fuckin around
š
Wheres the node to make attack speed slower
My hands hate me
hive scum with adrenaline and rampage is like speedrunning carpal tunnel
Just attack less
doesn't lifting weights or performing manual labor reduce carpal tunnel risk?
dunno
I FUCKING LOVE SMITE
FINALLY
THE PUSH ENEMIES OFF CLIFF PENANCE
DONE
back to assail
that would explain why i have never experienced it
Only situation where it is acceptable to use smite
Is it time
it's always time
Sibling
Go forth and wreak true havoc
Almost done with the dream team penance. Figured i'd play a few rounds of malice to make it easier.. twice now someone with an auric storm survivor tag has gone down, in 2 different pug matches
he's starting to believe
(auric storm survivor tag, and most tags for that matter, are utterly meaningless)
Reject is the only real tag
I do not reject any of my siblings*
*smykers are not my siblings
no sibling of mine is going to hold down smite all game
Smite has been nice for the event missions however
I mostly did voidblast heavy for it
