hookrat has no collateral

thorn cedar
#

you'd just hear fifteen overlapping special noises 24/7 and have no idea which one is the actual primary threat directed at you

ripe obsidian
#

too many sounds going on at once

thorn cedar
#

its very important that the sound level is lineated per player

radiant frigate
#

you start dodging a trapper not meant for you and then get shanked in the spleen by something else

timber moon
thorn cedar
#

as annoying as it is to be blindsided by a somewhat-quiet mutant the reality is that none of the specials are ever actually silent (outside of a small handful of very fucken annoying areas that are bugged)

radiant frigate
#

spawn doors my beloathed

thorn cedar
#

the gate into dark rituals for some reason????

#

no sound passes that barricade

timber moon
#

I am still shocked I haven't heard any trapper sounds aside from prepared fire before I started to just listen to Metal Hellsinger while playing the game.

thorn cedar
#

before the final event, end of the bridge

#

shit is whack

timber moon
#

How the hell did I miss trapper sounds?!

thorn cedar
#

you didnt know you were trying to hear it

#

its like when i first learned that the barbeque lighter sound was the indication of a flamer spawn

radiant frigate
thorn cedar
#

100hrs, i swear i never heard it

#

suddenly, hear it every fucking time

#

cant miss it

#

and it seems comically obvious

radiant frigate
timber moon
radiant frigate
#

he does not have any max level characters

thorn cedar
#

im a stoner with an unreasonable affinity for audio

hallow vector
#

i hear specials spawn on the other side of th emap

thorn cedar
#

but i never put two and two together for the flamer

radiant frigate
#

OOOHITSABOUTTOGETHOT

#

other than -- yea

and ofc the best one

#

FIRE

#

DEATH

#

RENEWAL

radiant frigate
#

Yes

timber moon
#

At least I have the event done so it's not so frustrating long-term trying to play the game. I genuinely hate this event.

radiant frigate
#

i like this event minus the grenade regen

#

not enough suffering

timber moon
#

Too much suffering for me, especially as a newer player

radiant frigate
#

i want to actually fight them and not just watch them get exploded

#

roket :)

timber moon
#

Trying my best anyways

radiant frigate
#

krak barrage :)

timber moon
#

Trying my best to get better

thorn cedar
#

yea i just back out if there's a hive scum

radiant frigate
#

pineapple of doom :)

thorn cedar
#

other nades are fine imo, deffo strong but not game warpingly so

radiant frigate
#

chem grenade still strong

timber moon
thorn cedar
#

ya thats why i dodge the scums lmao

radiant frigate
#

just not Elitus Deletus on impact

thorn cedar
#

oh no its not 'bad' builds here

timber moon
thorn cedar
#

theyre too fucken good and just demolish this event

#

its incredibly boring

#

im out here wanting to sweat out of my tits with a thunderhammer and stun grenades

timber moon
thorn cedar
#

and some dickhead with a needle in his arm just says hello goodbye to the entire wave

#

before i can even press special

timber moon
radiant frigate
#

personally not a fan of the blitzes that rely on pickups

#

so not sure what i would do with all these

thorn cedar
#

i do think grenade regen should be baked in for everybody at this point

radiant frigate
#

of some description

hallow vector
#

rokcet kinda cray cray

radiant frigate
#

within reason

thorn cedar
#

yea

timber moon
#

It should not be veteran exclusive

thorn cedar
#

obviously this event is not ... a good example

radiant frigate
#

because blitzes seem like an integral part of everyone's toolkit

#

and some of them are just

#

limited

hallow vector
#

the event refills nades on amount of ogryn kills (idk exactly)

#

so you can have infinite nade

radiant frigate
#

yeah and that sucks

thorn cedar
#

you basically cycle back to back rockets

#

not interesting

radiant frigate
#

oh no i wonder what's going to happen this time

#

roket :)

#

oh no another pack of crushers

#

roket :)

thorn cedar
#

that said i otherwise do love the event

#

it just cant have a hive scum in the match

radiant frigate
#

i have no idea how you play thammer

#

is it thrust

#

all i know is the one time i tried it i just suffered

#

but maybe headtaker slaughterer is just not the play here

thorn cedar
#

oh deffo not

#

not against fucken back to back ogryn walls

radiant frigate
#

ah so skull issue then

thorn cedar
#

thrust + your choice

radiant frigate
#

yeah fair fair

thorn cedar
#

i went with slaught for the event

#

anything below h30 i do slaught + head

#

cause i just find it more fun and dynamic since the lights on the hammer dont slouch

#

at least

#

on the crucis

radiant frigate
#

think i will just stick to relic blade

thorn cedar
#

the other one is dogshit

radiant frigate
#

starting to get the hang of the mk2

#

pretty satisfying

thorn cedar
#

yeee that one has great rhythm

radiant frigate
#

just takes some getting used to

#

plus it looks sick

#

(so does the mk10 but different)

thorn cedar
#

no uppercut tho

#

my issue with the mk10 which took me a while to figure out is that two of its attacks have the exact same animation/damage profile but combo off each other differently

#

i really tried to get into it because people swear by it but all those people mash left click almost indefinitely and thats boring as fuck

radiant frigate
#

mk10 is definitely easier to get into

thorn cedar
#

actually trying to swap between the right heavies and lights without doing a full reset was just frustrating as fuck

timber moon
#

Oh my fucking god I have been stupid this whole time

#

TRAPPER CAN BE HEARD

radiant frigate
#

put on martyr and press f and mash

timber moon
#

I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN LISTENING

radiant frigate

they are indeed very spammy

#

the mobility is good fun though

thorn cedar
#

also built in throwing knife

radiant frigate
#

Ye

#

which can be used for decent boss damage too

#
  • then extended by melee crits
timber moon
#

God rocket launcher is so fucking OP

#

It really needs to be limited to one, not four rockets

hallow vector

when it works

radiant frigate

roket :)

vagrant forge
#

I'm trying to learn Psyker. Is the electro staff with greatsword/scryers gaze a good choice?

#

or do I have to take bubble?

verbal thistle
#

you dont have to take anything

#

choose what you enjoy

#

In this case its either anti ranged or toughness/defense/damage buff

radiant frigate
#

one of my current favorites

vagrant forge
#

okay thanks. scryers does does so much damage i love the style lol I just need to figure out how to quit being so damn squishy

radiant frigate
#

gunner resist toughness curios

#

et voila

#

warp knight unlocked

#

okay night i have 3 toughness with revive/ability/something else on all my other classes, ill just stick gunner as the 3rd

safe wolf
#

Hey guys, so I'm leveling up the Psyker for the first time. What defines a "Warp Attack"? Is that like Smite, Brain Rupture, and Assail?

verbal thistle
safe wolf
#

Thank you! πŸ–€

ripe obsidian
dire wharf
#

Does the name blaze force sword mean there are other types of force swords?

verbal thistle
#

yeah

ripe obsidian
#

got a second TS run with the same team. Well, I am counting it as TS. Only death was someone getting barreled into the abyss. :D

verbal thistle
#

of wait, do you mean like frost force sword

swift stag
#

i love psyker squads

#

thank you all siblings

verbal thistle
#

beacause I meant there is force greatsword

dire wharf
verbal thistle
#

idk

#

I dont lore

jovial juniper
#

Well
Considering that the Grey Knights have Nemesis Force Sword

#

Yeah it's possible

#

Does it change anything?
Probably not

#

Uh
What's that one

#

By the blood angels guy

#

Ps vita or whatever the sword

#

It like burns with angee

#

4.1m in 47 minutes

#

Nice

#

I am assuming you got a bunch of big purple hordes to solo damage?

rich spindle
#

yeah it was constant purple armor spam

#

if rot comes back im going to play taunt ogryn for vect to try and get a 5m game πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

ripe obsidian
#

My best is 4.7m in a purple + rot

#

In like 36 minutes, at that

#

No one had armor clear.

#

The best I have gotten lately is like 2m to 2.5m.

rich spindle
#

if your team is too good they'll steal too much damage to get 5m, if theyre too bad you'll be on pace for 5m but probably lose

summer prairie
#

Meanwhile with good people and scum you can struggle to be top damage with scum rocketing all the HP clusters

#

Surge surge better

rich spindle
#

scum of equal skill does like 90% of your non boss damage and 300% of your boss damage

grand wave

radiant frigate

there's this shieldgryn that only plants down his shield or otherwise tanks

plucky flax

Sry was me.

tawny crest
#

Any recommended build for a beginner psyker?
I feel so squishy and get my self killed a lot. Right now I am using the voidblast staff and duling sword.

long saddle
#

maybe a gun psyker using SG and assail

#

should be some in the pinned build guide

#

staves are usually not that good while they're being leveled

#

otherwise you just need to practice dodging, pushing, blocking, and positioning yourself

#

peril management can be tricky in the beginning, especially when all the staves have low warp resistance early on

deft stump
#

Trauma is extra awful below minmaxxed stats and lvl 30.

tawny crest
#

Ok good to know thanks you thumbsup_ogryn

deft stump
#

It's good after, but really don't suggest it till you have at least lvl 27~.

#

I have a build in the big guide, but if you want more specifics, could try.

tawny crest
#

Looking at the big guide now but by the way what is assail?

#

Nvm saw it in the guide now

zinc phoenix
#

@zealous wing what rules do you use for your new psykers to make leveling them interesting? I’m guessing only found weapons, anything else?

hoary mauve

mystic lantern
#

lv1 psyker is so weirdly balanced
your actual warp attack is shit, but your starter weapons are literally dclaw and laspistol. there's never any reason to use brain blast or whatever it's called

deft stump
mystic lantern
deft stump
mystic lantern
#

so it's not just "OP"?

wraith sphinx
#

Yeah it goes beyond being just op

deft stump
# mystic lantern so it's not just "OP"?

It's both OP and trash at the same time. OP cos perma stun but trash cos it does nothing for damage and ruin fun for others. Also stops certain buffs from proccing.

wraith sphinx
#

The main problem is psykers discovering it's good (which it is) and then never switching off off it and never learning how to properly play the game cos they just smite smite smite

mystic lantern
#

i'll try smite in uprising where nothing actually matters, but i like being a team player so probably won't go with it after

deft stump
#

Can you tell me how fun it is if the entire run was vs Psykhanium enemies?

mystic lantern
#

maybe it's good for penance farming idk

deft stump
#

A tauntgryn with slab is better for penances.

#

Pulls them close, increases damage done and then other guy drops a fire 'nade or so.

#

Depends on penances.

#

Also they get funneled into the fire instead of spread out.

mystic lantern
#

i'm not a penance addict just kind of theorizing what the use for it is
but i do have a slab tauntgryn so yeah that makes sense

wraith sphinx
#

so someone else can easily take them down

#

comes in handy with the current ogryn spam event

dire wharf
#

Personally I think smite should be more like a chain lightning spell from DnD or Diablo

deft stump
dire wharf
thorn cedar
tawny crest
#

gotta say the guide did 180 on my experience with the class I enjoy it so much now had to get used to not being zealot/arbites XD. is there a reason to switch assail later on? I see the hate on smite but is the brain pop better later on?

dire wharf
#

I'm a little confused.. I stabbed this ogryn reaper in the head with my deimos and it died and then the reaper behind it also died too? Was that because of cleave

#

Actually it looks like the 2nd reaper dies to kinetic flayer

deft stump
#

Or very lazy gunker/meleeker.

#

KF lul.

tawny crest
#

Oh ok :thumbsup:

frail oar
#

Or you could be a chad and run EP telekine wall BB BRRRRRR

frail oar
#

Yes!

#

With the charge rate buff and the EP buff you can chain very fast BB between elites/specials.

#

And the wall gives you the breathing room to do so

hoary mauve
#

Watching how this fatshark dev does in the event πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

deft stump
#

Are they just smiting?

hoary mauve
#

Arby with dog

#

He's okay, i just left though , we got stomped πŸ˜†

deft stump
hoary mauve
#

I was the idiot in that match lol. I ran meleeker in that High Intensity Brutes and Blasts, and had decided to swap from BB / assail to Smite (just for those crusher packs), but idk how to use Smite.

I should have just stuck with my usual. Now I just look like an idiot who couldn't even use Smite right lmao.

bleak maple
#

Does anyone actually know how Empyric Shock works?

median furnace
jovial juniper
#

You press M1 and the enemy hit takes more Warp damage

#

Simple as

bleak maple
#

But it has stacks?

jovial juniper
#

Yeah up to 30%

bleak maple
#

But there's no visual indictator for how many stacks?

dire wharf
bleak maple

#

Best you can do is download debuff indicator mod

Otherwise

Just feel it

knife or heavy sword? le pass

zealous wing
#

Psyker11 was leveled purely through auric was another

zinc phoenix
#

that sounds fun

zealous wing
#

basically forcing myself to really remember the basics, and learning how every weapon works is something i want to do, even if they suck

scarlet mica
#

Hi i wanna ask about Malleus Monstronum penance. It requires player to BB a monster with 50 damage. Must that be exactly 50 points?

zealous wing
#

50% of its hp bar

median furnace
scarlet mica
#

oh i thought just 50 points dmg, that would be insane to controll lol

median furnace
#

Best way to do it is with an Ogryn doing shield and letting the DH rail against them into a corner or something

scarlet mica
#

ok i see. thx

zealous wing
#

i can help tbh

#

im going to log in very soon

median furnace
#

Ideally with a 3rd player guarding against disablers, but I've done it with just me doing Ogryn helping a Psyker

scarlet mica
#

oh i remember you. last time we played penance together to get skull lol

zealous wing
#

in about 10-15minutes ill be on

scarlet mica
#

thx, take your time

median furnace
#

I'm also available in like 30min

scarlet mica
#

what an amazing community XD

ripe obsidian
#

No, we're awful and rude and cruel. >:(

thorn cedar
#

especially that one guy

#

i think his name is seven or some equally or even dumber numeral

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, especially him

thorn cedar
#

just the worst

ripe obsidian
#

If the Grinch and Scrooge, both pre-revelation, fused, he'd still be worse

inland ice
#

does true aim work on inferno staff

thorn cedar
#

it cant headshot

#

so no

#

i dont believe it consumes the crit either

zealous wing
#

i think the weakspot hits can be melee, but even if it did use the crit, it would be so inefficient

radiant frigate
#

malleus monstronum mentioned

#

i miss clad

zealous wing
#

hit something in melee 5 times with weakspot hits, fire one tiny puff of fire, itd burn out before you finished the next batch

#

i did see him ingame a while ago, he doesnt seem to play much at all anymore but he was alive so theres that

zealous wing
scarlet mica
#

🫑

zealous wing
#

we can wait for the other if you like and just hang out meanwhile

scarlet mica
#

yeah sure

#

@median furnace tell us when you are on

safe wolf
#

Perhaps a stupid question. Do the staffs have weak spot multipliers?

Thank you!

I finally tried voidstrike staff, love the audio effects and how it sounds while charged up

radiant frigate
dire wharf
#

I hate that the relic blade is so satisfying to use

radiant frigate
#

i have now started to play stealth zealot

#

feels pretty good

dire wharf
#

I haven't tried stealth but I was watching Ainz' 4000 hour zealot video..

#

We're both playing the same game but I'm drawing stick figures with crayons while ainz is painting the mona lisa KEKW_ogryn

radiant frigate
#

best not to compare oneself to ainz

marble crater

Compare yourself to Swai

Guys, is someone using a macro to spam the staff of psyker inferno?

radiant frigate
#

what, like the puffs?

spice aurora
#

@plucky flax do you remember like a fat minute ago we played on consignment heal rot and you had like 6.7 mil dmg but we lost and it was basically a duo, do you have a screenshot by chance lol

ripe obsidian
long saddle
#

it's more noticeable on ppl using macros for quick melees with force sword

hallow vector
#

i feel like a lot of psykers who take venting shriek dont realize how good scriers gaze is

#

atleast in terms of not acutally using venting shriek for what it is and just a peril remover

radiant frigate
#

what

ripe obsidian
#

not a good one

#

but quite a take

nimble sundial
#

so genuine questions but which staff do yous think is better stronger,, voidstrike or voidblast

zealous wing
#

blast

#

strike sadly is suffering

nimble sundial
#

been trying strike but my god i cannot even survive a group of crushers

hallow vector
#

strike is fun but it needs to do better AOE

#

its kinda just m1 assail

#

with some aoe

nimble sundial
#

i feel like my class for strike is just trash dmg

long saddle
#

you have to like go all in with SG

nimble sundial
#

like 4-5 blasts to kill 1 crusher or bulwark

hallow vector
#

voidstrike should be like rumbler where it can like aoe dot stuff too

nimble sundial
#

i quit playing ogryn because i felt rumbler became weaker to me

hallow vector
#

or just the aoe soulblaze which is like

#

just use inferno staff

#

scriers gaze is insanely strong

nimble sundial
#

inferno is so fun

hallow vector
#
  • with perks that regen ability faster you almost always have it active
long saddle
#

can't possibly be broken

#

I've come to like both SG and shriek SB trauma

hallow vector
#

honestly idk why shriek is the meta

#

atleast

#

people say its the meta

long saddle
#

SB is the meta

#

so you want more of it

hallow vector
#

what is sb

long saddle
#

soulblaze

hallow vector
#

shield bubble?

#

oh

hallow vector
#

but i mean for the abilities

long saddle
#

shriek spreads SB

hallow vector
#

and yea ik that shriek has the aoe soulblaze but

#

literally just use inferno staff

#

its better

long saddle
#

not always

hallow vector
#

scriers gaze is still way stronger

long saddle
#

trauma is better CC

#

longer range

nimble sundial
#

i havent used vs ability in so long

long saddle
#

handles armor easier without uncanny stacks

hallow vector
#

like u get a little aoe of soulblaze for your entire ability

long saddle
#

and also just another skill entirely from inferno

hallow vector
#

vs scriers gaze which lets you just keep spamming inferno

#

like let me post my loadout

long saddle
#

wait are you talking about SG inferno

#

the worst way to play inferno

hallow vector
nimble sundial
#

scriers gaze with inferno just clears hordes so quick its fun

hallow vector
long saddle
#

ok buddy

hallow vector
#

this shit strong as fuck

#

combine it with warp charges

#

you get like +60 damage

#
  • the 30% from blaze away
#

doing like 200-400 every tick

long saddle
#

that sure is a build

hallow vector
#

its strong af

#

was running auric mael and shit was ez

#

also auric event

long saddle
#

doesn't really prove anything

#

because it folds to shriek

hallow vector
#

how

#

explain how aoe soulblaze is better than just infinite spam and more dps

long saddle
#

pure range

#

stacks higher together than what just inferno can do by itself

#

SB is the dmg part on inferno

#

not the flames coming out of the staff directly

hallow vector
#

inferno has crazy range still

long saddle
#

it does not

#

but you're free to run whatever subpar builds you want, it's not like smite that's hurting others

hallow vector
#

use it and see

long saddle
#

no I will not

#

I'm fine running SG on all the other staves

hallow vector
#

shriek aint got shit on sg

rich spindle
#

I think you need 1 more wound curio though

#

only 3 is not enough tankiness

#

and you need blazing spirit on the illisi to max out fire damage

#

then it would be a perfect build I think

ripe obsidian
#

you're telling on yourself here

rich spindle
#

theyre right

#

staff already does aoe soulblaze

#

you dont need to double dip

buoyant maple
#

One day they’ll make blazing spirit melee good

#

Maybe even before 2030

rich spindle
#

this game is going to be abandoned for the pre-alpha live service launch of vt3 in 2027

hallow vector
#

that is what people have told me

#

i dont use VS

rich spindle
#

dont bother its not good

hallow vector
#

i only did for penance

ripe obsidian
#

SG is good. Use it if you want. But Shriek is insanely strong.

#

It overstacks soulblaze, has 30m of range, sub-10 second cooldown, staggers crushers

verbal thistle
#

infinite cleave

ripe obsidian
#

Yes, infinite cleave in that 30m of range

#

in a 2m damage game with Shriek as my primary source of soulblaze, it'll do like 800k-1m damage

#

That's with non-blazing trauma or EK

zinc phoenix
hallow vector
#

especially with the fact that you can have SG almost active 24/7

verbal thistle
#

its not comparable

ripe obsidian
#

again, Shriek does ridiculous DPS

verbal thistle
#

they do 2 different things

#

shreik does more then gaze

#

if we are talking numbers

ripe obsidian
#

lordy, havoc is a mess today

Rude of them

sharp island
#

Whats the best support psyker stuff

verbal thistle
#

What's your definition of support

spice aurora
#

if u want that classic vibe of "i am supporting" then you prolly are wanting some CC staff like trauma

quiet jacinth
#

Dome*

#

If your talking for this event then use the voidblast staff

verbal thistle
#

support to me is killings faster since if enemy are dead they cant hurt you

spice aurora
#

or if u wana support thru killing a bunch of trash (and pretty much anything else) then purgatus staf

quiet jacinth
sharp island
#

Keep teammates alive

quiet jacinth
#

Dome then

verbal thistle
#

then kill the enemy faster

quiet jacinth
#

Or do that

verbal thistle
#

so whatever ability

#

there isnt a real support subclass in the tide games

spice aurora
#

@sharp island do a couple games with purgatus staff and trauma, then repeat do another couple each and see which u vibe with more

#

u can make most weapons work and i think you play better with weapons u really like to use xD

nimble sundial
#

@zealous wing u werent lying blast is real good

#

very fun

spice aurora
#

how come? are you max level and do you have them upgraded with high tier blessings and stuff

spice aurora
#

what i usually do in games is check out how people use them in the highest difficulties on youtube or something and just skip around and see what i vibe with, that way u can see how something is relatively close to its max potential and see if youd fk with it

#

only takes like a minute per weapon xD

ripe obsidian
#

Weapon Spec + DB Shotgun vet is very funny

radiant frigate
#

ilas vet is decently funny too

glacial field
#

Hey iv been trying to figure out the blessings to use on void strike

#

What’s the best blessings to use on the staff?

jovial juniper
#

Nexus + Surge/Flurry

quiet jacinth
#

Anyone got a venting shriek inferno staff build

#

Nvm

pale matrix
#

how do people do that tech with the purgatus staff where they have multiple light attacks go super fast?

Wondering: I'm looking at the build guide, and I'm working on the Blast + Blaze build. Wondering if there's any guides on play/piloting, like the best melee combos, which abilities/etc to prioritize when?

ripe obsidian
#

Best melee combo for Deimos is L1 > H2

#

The 2nd heavy is the attack you really want

#

It'll knock over crushers on a headshot

#

Also note that push attacks will stagger crushers

#

I don't have any videos, but folks like AgentChaos and Vect have youtube accounts with Voidblast/Trauma builds. Probably

#

With force sword and flame staff how do you actually do ranged damage

verbal thistle
#

brain burst or get closer

#

sliding

spiral fiber
granite stratus
#

Smite is a bit redundant when you have the flame staff

zealous wing
#

"a bit"

#

extremely so

It feels like forever in higher difficulties when you need that one fuck ass sniper dead now lol

that was probably the best clutch I've had in a while

spice aurora
#

big gaming

ripe obsidian
#

mostly because I didn't realize it was a clutch

#

so wasn't panicking

spice aurora
#

mine was better, did you see how i was last alive and i ran into a shotgunner and died immediately

ripe obsidian
#

I was like, "I can die and bruh moment will carry, nbd"

ripe obsidian
#

I don't know if this arby build is actually any good, but it is quite fun

#

Walk menacingly at enemies and shoot them

spice aurora
#

almost 3mil dmg without healing with gun arby was not expected at all

ripe obsidian
#

I didn't expect it either

#

today is my first day using this build

spice aurora
#

almost first game trio with goofy builds, it looks like it worked well xD

ripe obsidian
#

This is what I have built atm

spice aurora
#

oh its not even mid keystone nice

ripe obsidian
#

Might swap to toughness gen on stamina use and tdr instead of toughness next to doggo and +10% ranged damage

spice aurora
#

ngl i think the chained weakspot talent sux, or i sux. when i look at my uptime i have like literally no uptime on it

ripe obsidian
#

I haven't been using uptime because it killed my FPS

#

I can try it again and see how it looks

#

could change it slightly to this. Lose some ranged damage, but get more reliable toughness regen and +10% TDR. Dunno.

spice aurora
#

i think for that shotty id see if the talent gets u close to any breakpoints on like dreg ragers / gunners n shit, or even if it doesnt, if it makes u close then maybe the blessings / other ppls talents on team will idk xD

ripe obsidian
#

yeah, I'll keep poking it to see what feels best. I'm trying not to give up too many melee talents so that I can still do things in melee

spice aurora
#

tahts what i try to do on all classes, like a lil point here n there for the gun or melee if its not the focus xD

ripe obsidian
#

Also not sure I need the doggo bleed node, but it makes the dog that much more reliable about killing elites and specials

spice aurora
#

When I last tried it I feel like it did nothing but I havent rly played diarbetes in a min

ripe obsidian
#

It seems to be about 1/4 of my total doggo damage

#

or more if I micro the dog and get good AOE on pounces

buoyant maple
#

unless u play boltpistol and micro the dog 24/7

#

Trying out the better movement mod, is pretty good

#

Being able to just hold dodge to dodge+slide to the sides and back is cool

hallow vector
#

i just use it for the dodge while sprinting

#

pisses me off that i try to w-d/a and dodge but instead i just jump and get shot

wraith sphinx
#

I don't have an issue w that because I made dodge a bind separate from jump forever ago

zinc phoenix
#

I wish they’d completely remove dodge sliding tbh

#

The game looks and feels dumber and spammier because of it

radiant frigate
#

i never dodge slide

#

sprint slide sure

thorn cedar
#

yea same

#

dodge slide is too expensive imo

dire wharf
#

Howdy fellow two handed sword users, and others I suppose

#

Work sucks today

#

Only 30 more minutes left

pale matrix
#

how dyou do it?

rigid sky
#

Dodge slide mostly only for positioning tricks with a slow heavy weapon or avoiding bursters

#

Or getting out of a fire faster

dire wharf
zealous wing
#

costs less dodges

pale matrix
#

on the flame staff, does the liught attack have less range than the charged attack?

ripe obsidian
#

It has less aoe for sure. Not positive on range

dry blade
#

i feel so weak early game. yes i know, its early, but with other classes i felt much stronger. my staffs 2-3 tap normal dudes

#

is that normal?

ripe obsidian
#

Reddit is so stupid.

"This ability sucks in havoc. BTW I don't play Havoc."

Psyker sucks until you get close to level 30 and can max out staff stats

white sky
#

Or yk

#

Spam assail for 30 levels

dry blade
#

assail?

white sky
#

Nade option, the shards

ripe obsidian
#

This is the recommended path, yes

white sky
#

Right one iirc

ripe obsidian
#

Psyker staves are really weak with low stat rolls

#

Assail is pretty consistently strong from level 5 up through H40

dry blade
#

i really like the explode one

#

the one that can charge up and clear waves

ripe obsidian
#

Voidblast

#

It's quite strong

#

I did 2 true survivor runs with it the other day

dry blade
#

having a blast

ripe obsidian
#

Is that an intentional pun?

ripe obsidian
#

This is what I have been using for ranged-focus. It seems to be working well so far.

#

iffy talents are ammo belt and doggo bleed

#

but I am not sure what I would want instead

zealous wing
#

definitely my favourite staff

rigid sky
#

if you've got resources to get a staff to mastery 19 immediately, then go for it and build as you like tbh

#

assail is really strong on lower levels (and still good later)

#

but the main thing to make staves good is mastery 19 rather than personal level

dry blade
rigid sky
#

mastery 19 = can level it up to 500

dry blade
#

I went down 10 times on level 3

#

Fun

#

And only 1 time it was self destruction

rigid sky
#

psyker is so squishy until you get empathic evasion

#

once you have that you can just hold your inferno down while getting actively barraged by a wall of gunners and just not give a shit

#

having an improved ability is also really important, basic shriek is terrible

#

shriek with venting is crazy, as are bubble and gaze

#

you're sorted for it not feeling like ass once you have that imo

dry blade
#

I never use it

#

All of them seem ass tbh

rigid sky
#

venting shriek is crazy man

dry blade
rigid sky
#

6 stacks of soulblaze in a truly gigantic cone

#

it kills gunners

#

and mostly everything else

#

good synergy with warp siphon

#

also utilities, knocks dogs off people through walls etc

dire wharf
#

I think I skipped all staffs until I hit lvl 30

zealous wing
dry blade
dry blade
ripe obsidian
# dry blade Why so

venting shriek alone, with no other source of soulblaze, does like 800k to 1m damage in a 2m damage game

#

It's so good

#

it's 30m of AOE, infinite cleave, staggers even crushers

#

does crazy damage

#

sub-10 second cooldown

radiant frigate
#

sometimes wish trauma could fit better in melee builds

#

but perhaps it is simply

#

skill issue

white sky
#

I like trauma staff users tbh

#

Good damage, good control

#

Not a metric fuckton of visual pollution

dry blade
ripe obsidian
#

Arbiter dash is like 5 meters

#

and stops on hitting an elite

dry blade
zealous wing
#

that said though

#

trauma without soulblaze is also good

dry blade
#

Every time I get to 100% I have 0.5 seconds to get rid of it or my character does a little animation that locks me out from either attacking or draining

zealous wing
#

skill most likely

#

i have... a few hours of playtime

#

oh the casting

#

scriers gaze

#

warp unbound node

dry blade
#

Thank you

zealous wing
#

and, btw

dry blade
#

Also what's up with the hud

zealous wing
#

the starter shriek, saves you from overload

#

try using it when you start the animation

#

i have mods to make the buffs i want more visible more visible

#

scriers and upgraded shriek do the same

#

(save from overload)

dry blade
#

Thank you a lot

#

Why would you want the highest damage character to be looking where the enemies aren’t πŸ€”

solar nest
#

yea, horde never attack back

ripe obsidian
#

This is why so many Inferno psykers do so little damage. They're not aggressive.

#

The good inferno players are the ones in the front, burning down hordes, dealing with threats

#

And using Shriek instead of bubble

solar nest
#

i feel like the overall gameplay as you reach endgame is just playing alone and do tons of damage, seems like that buble gameplay is not that good on high havoc

dire wharf
rigid sky
#

Bubble is great, but inferno just doesn't need it

#

While you're burning shit, you're immune to bullets

#

And shriek kills gunners

#

Prefer bubble with voidblast

#

More natural combo imo

ripe obsidian
#

Bubble is okay.

#

It's a solid defensive tool

#

But it runs out very quickly under heavy fire and isn't gonna save you from bosses (other than burgle) or maulers/crushers

#

It's never bad to have, but it's not going to kill threats

#

And killing threats is more important than temporarily mitigating them

rigid sky
#

Purpose of it is to let you control the space better to kill the threats

#

But inferno tends to not really be able to take as much advantage of it as Voidblast imo

#

Although my Voidblast runs EP so the brain burst is a lot better too

ripe obsidian
#

I haven't used bubble in months

rigid sky
#

I only take it with voidblast really

#

Voidblast kinda doesn't care how long it takes to kill stuff so you don't need warp siphon so EP makes sense, and bubble enables EP KR brain rupture bullshit really well

ripe obsidian
#

I also have never actually used EP outside of penances

rigid sky
#

Plus the staff attacks itself

rigid sky
#

The other versions either suck (Smite), or are just a worse disrupt destiny (Assail)

ripe obsidian
#

Bubble allows a good team to push forward very hard very safely. But most random teams don't take advantage of it. So you end up tossing three bubbles down in the same place hoping your team will move forward

#

It takes a ton of power away from the Psyker and makes you more reliant on your team

rigid sky
#

This Voidblast build is as close as Psyker gets to a tank tbh

ripe obsidian
#

Like, my rending trauma + Shriek build did something like 800k soulblaze damage from just shriek and perilous combustion in a 2m damage game

rigid sky
#

The EP makes you more independent too

ripe obsidian
#

And DD is absurdly powerful

#

Sorry, I mean SG

rigid sky
#

If you can go DD and fully benefit, you always should

#

Not played much staff SG

ripe obsidian
#

Bubble is just so team reliant. It feels bad.

#

SG works well with LMB EK and blazing trauma

#

Iffy on Inferno. Okay on Voidstrike

#

I get annoyed when teammates complain about not having bubble. But it doesn't happen often in H40.

#

Tbh I mostly pick Warp Siphon for CDR on Shriek

It's reddit. Like turning a desk fan against a hurricane

cedar pine

its just back up

ripe obsidian
#

Yup

#

It's quite strong

cedar pine
#

also whats stronger

#

spamming void strike or void blast secondary with gaze?

#

i liked the strike cuz it felt like lobbing grenades

ripe obsidian
#

Voidblast is stronger

#

Voidstrike takes longer to charge, has limited cleave, and the projectile stops on carapace

#

Voidblast has infinite cleave, better blessings, faster charge time, better stagger

#

With this in mind, Voidstrike is my favorite staff and I use it whenever I play Auric.

dire wharf
#

Voidstrike sound effects are the best

cedar pine
#

i dont have the talent for more damage depending on peril

#

also

#

the electrokinectic

has more points than blessings?

Voidstrike is fun, but Voidblast is practical

pale matrix

are there any mods that make block with force swords less blinding? Any that do the same for the flame staff so I can see stuff?

or split between warp res and quelling

#

quelling doesnt need to be 80

ya mostly

radius gives a bigger cone tho

not entirely neccesarry but helps

chilly viper
#

I'll gamble again

chilly viper
#

How do I sell my unwanted weapons?

#

nvm found it out

long saddle
#

yeah favorite weapons you don't want sold, because you can auto-select everything by rarity on the right side of the selling screen

chilly viper
#

ahh fuck I spent all my money trying to get perfect 80s

#

didn't knew it was not possible

long saddle
#

it also works if you're just clicking things manually, they can't be selected

#

yeah you prob didn't need to go all out that early in the game

#

since you can also get good ones from just mission rewards

#

rolling and upgrading from scratch may be the easiest, but it's very costly in the beginning
