True. But I think that's just throwing me off even more.
It feels consistent til the end where it just out of nowhere desyncs
I know that's a thing that happens in h40 because this game can't handle mobs attacking as fast as h40 makes them but that was particularly weird.

It allows you to output about four times faster than normal. If you've been around for a while, this exploit was "patched" previously because it was a huge problem. But there're a mod that allows players to basically circumvent the patch and rapid cast bolts again.

What is the best melee weapon for psyker
rigid sky
What is the best melee weapon for psyker
Depends on your ranged and build
Force greatswords (either mark but I think the 6 is much better), force swords (Deimos or Obscurus) and duelling sword 4 are generally the best
Genuinely, fucking hate Illisi in its current presentation lol
marble crater
who's on in oceania
Good joke, a lot of people don't even know what that is
dapper slate
Depends on your ranged and build
Brain burst build
rigid sky
Brain burst build
That's just your blitz - a Psyker is defined by its ranged weapon
marble crater
Brain Burst is ranged ☝️ 🤓
dapper slate
That's just your blitz - a Psyker is defined by its ranged weapon
Void blast force staff
marble crater
Something good for single target damage, FGS, Deimos or Dueling Sword are preferred
dapper slate
Got it
rigid sky
Prefer Obscurus personally
rigid sky
Obscurus better upfront, better DPS than Deimos
Worse stagger and worse single attack (in the sense that Deimos H2 is the strongest attack across both)
rigid sky
But push attack is enough stagger anyway imo
Love GS on other setuos
But voidblast likes the 1H I think
brazen compass
dapper slate

Why is the Deimos good?
marble crater
As Bushman said, you can knock Crushers on their ass with the heavy 2 attack. Light 1 into heavy 2 is fast, good and easy to land single target damage. Useful for Mutants, Crushers, Maulers
dapper slate
Ah
rigid sky
Deimos also has the excellent stagger push attack
It's a fantastic weapon
I just prefer the instant access 1-taps that Obscurus can do
dapper slate
Is the force strike staff any good?
rigid sky
For Obscurus we use HLL loop for single targets and it's more dps and higher first hit damage than Deimos
But if you cook a H2 on Deimos it's stronger, and Deimos has the built in stagger
Voidstrike is really fun, bit left behind though
Definitely play with it, recommend taking disrupt destiny with it
dapper slate
Ah
dapper slate
Voidstrike is really fun, bit left behind though
What are the weapons that are not left behind
rigid sky
For ranged, the best weapons are probably Inferno Staff, Voidblast Staff and any high finesse gun you like (my preference being Vraks 5 IAG)
Idk about other guns
Electro kinetic is pretty good with an LMB focus build apparently, but I never tried it
It is unimpressive on RMB imo
obtuse dome
EK is nice fore carapace and bullwarks
rigid sky
EK is bad on crushers though
obtuse dome
No
rigid sky
And on bosses too
obtuse dome
No
rigid sky
How many shocks do you need to kill a Crusher?
obtuse dome
Thats where the RMB comes in
obtuse dome
Idk
Is have to test at home
But i allways did use it for that
Like it does good dmg
rigid sky
It's slower than a single target focus weapon should be at it
rigid sky
It does stun them while it tickles them down, true
It's a safe weapon to work through crushers slowly but it doesn't deal with the blobs you see on Auric+
rigid sky
I mean, if you're asking basic Psyker questions here, then you're probably playing at the right difficulties to actually get some joy out of the EK and other weaker options
obtuse dome
Cause u dont need bb with it
rigid sky
Yeah, EK is BB on a stick
rigid sky
I can see taking it anyway for Flayer
obtuse dome
Yeah honestly
rigid sky
You can at least kill that first Crusher each wave decently fast then
obtuse dome
Smite is just not good anymore
obtuse dome
No its just not very good beyond auric
rigid sky
Brain rupture and Assail fit what I tend to need better
obtuse dome
Imo
rigid sky
I tend to not play above Auric anyway
obtuse dome
Like in auric smite is still broken af
rigid sky
Havoc party finding is an anxiety source lol
obtuse dome
Truebi do not like havoc
rigid sky
I'm pretty sure I can hang up in the low 30s where I'm at
But i only have so many hours to play and it brings me less joy
obtuse dome
Idk why it resets my shit to 10 every time
Like wtf
I dont wanna do all this again
rigid sky
Because I worry about ruining other people's clearance lol
And being judged for it
And all other kinds of rejection sensitive dysphoric shite
But that's why I'm still in therapy lol
obtuse dome
Because I worry about ruining other people's clearance lol
True they should honestly just remove that
I dont see the benefit of this 3 times only stuff
rigid sky
I mean, kill low Havoc entirely
rigid sky
Make Havoc 25, 30, 35, 40 just progressive unlocks
obtuse dome
I dont see the reason for its existence either
rigid sky
De-granulise the player base
obtuse dome
Like havoc is supposed to be endgame
rigid sky
Since it isn't large enough to have the endgame mode split into 40 distinct strata
obtuse dome
Why do i have to do havoc 0-25 wich is basically auric?
rigid sky
Auric, under pressure
I mean I just want to play with the monsters and other enhanced boss spawns
deft stump
Make Havoc 25, 30, 35, 40 just progressive unlocks
This is already what ppl want. No demotions, just win to unlock next till 40. Your havoc tag is just highest you have cleared. Simple as that.
obtuse dome
Yeah
rigid sky
If I don't want to play Havoc, that means either wait for the right Maelstrom

Throw in a chem 'nade and I'm back to sub 20 fps at best.
Honest truth?

Pox gas can fuck right off for sure
Hate vision modifiers in general

H40 plague ogryn 102k hp
In the gas for 20% damage reduction
And affected by
Orange
At 5 stacks is like 15% damage reduction
What would that be in hp
I don't remember the proper math for it
So imma just say 102 +35%
Which is 137.7
So there
137k HP plague ogryn
rigid sky
@dapper slate I take Uncanny and Riposte for duelling swords, you can replace Riposte with Shred or Precognition if you like. I take uncanny and unstable power for 1H force swords (Obscurus and Deimos). I take Unstable Power and Riposte or Shred for greatswords.
ripe obsidian
You forget, the gawd awful optimisations ruin it for many.
Dis is true. Last night I was getting 120 FPS until blight enemies showed up, then all the particles effects and shit took me down to sub-60
ripe obsidian
Unrelated to that, last night I met the scariest enemy in the game: hyperstacked gunner blob. I thought it was 1 gunner on a ledge and was unconcerned. Then my health evaporated in like 0.2 seconds. I realized thereafter it was like 8 gunners standing on top of each other in the same spot.
jovial juniper
What's the equivalent with 35% damage reduction added
radiant frigate
vaguely 153k
ripe obsidian
But 35% DR is 35 more HP per 100 HP
radiant frigate
nay
ripe obsidian
I am perplexèd.
radiant frigate
let's say you have 100 health and 35% DR and i bonk you for 135 raw damage
do you die in this scenario?
no because you reduce 35% damage
so my 135 damage bonk turns into 87

Anyway, the gaming market is vast. If all you play is the mass market stuff that...
Its even stuff like candy crush. Its the most profitable thing for Activision blizzard. Its making it so every game needs to be a skinner box.
Or rather that's what the developers are looking for.

Inferno left click is really good for getting space from rager packs as it can stagger them.
Shriek is another great tool to buy you some time.
If you are running brain rupture make sure you are using the kinetic flayer and Perilous Combustion talents. Just tapping one of the ragers when that’s ready will kill one and catch the others on fire so you can either kite while blocking till they die or add on to the fire stacks with inferno primary while staying safe.
All blaze swords have a very strong distance push that can knock ragers on their ass. Hold block and then press your primary fire button and hold it until you see your character hold out their hand and force push. It only works on single target, generates a little peril, but you can spam it.
Finally a half charged secondary fire (flamethrower mode) on inferno while using the blessing Blaze Away can stagger ragers as well while also piling on damage

So what’s the play on force greatsword when a bunch of carapace rotten armor ragers are sicced on you? Is it to use to block or push? In general I probably don’t use those as optimally as I can
I think I saw a teammate stagger rotten armor crushers with the push which was interesting

Thanks!

All force swords have a force shove as push attack
It's a single target 9 meters good stagger
It always target weakspot
And it's capable of staggering anything that isn't a boss
(needs testing with shieldless captains/twins)
pale prairie
play slow, stagger what you can with ranged/force push
Doesn’t the special stagger?
verbal thistle
depends on enemy and charge level
not reliable for most dangerous enemies
i think 1 bar might stagger attacking ragers?
unsure

5 in a row?

No, just 5
After 5 weakspot hits, guarantees the next ranged attack to be critical. Generates 1 weakspot stack per weakspot hit with melee, ranged, Assail and Brain Rupture / Brain Burst attacks regardless of how many enemies have been hit per attack. Weakspot stacks last until consumed; shooting air consumes the guaranteed crit; Brain Rupture / Brain Burst and Smite do not consume the guaranteed crit.
Note that Force Greatswords' weapon special (force slash) does not proc this talent.

blazing trauma is what you're looking for, usually we take brain rupture with it for kinetic flayer, but, you can have assail too tbh

not my original build, just put it in GL for sharing purposes

Mettle is for movement speed not the toughness, it provides f all
zealous wing
the reason we dont take assail though is because blazing trauma is horde clear already, and damned good at it
i say this as an assail lover
the full blazing trauma build is strong
tough obsidian
i do really like brain burst but i just want LOTS of crowd clear
the sword i mainly used to kill things that are bigger
zealous wing
for assail, i normally pair it with melee or rending trauma
zealous wing
the only thing a trauma staff struggles to handle really is monsters
which, most melee can help deal with, and as such, melee is a side arm for monsters and mutants in crowd clear staff builds
such as blazing trauma, inferno
zealous wing
uncanny stays, superiority or deflector instead of blazing spirit. unyielding and maniac or unyielding and carapace if you want to melee crushers
maniac isnt really NEEDED for obscurus, but, if you miss the headshot its nice to have if you crit
tough obsidian
zealous wing
definitely look for a warp resist dump one as well, if oyu see one at brunts just snag it
but since its your singletarget weapon it will function
tough obsidian
im assuming the resist is the peril right
zealous wing
yes
tough obsidian
hmm
zealous wing
and with nexus you want high peril
tough obsidian
true
zealous wing
same if you grab warp rider for more damage at high peril
zealous wing
you'll want either full warp resistance dump for long term use
or you can partially dip into mobility, but, not ideal
definitely dont want to lose damage
damage, finesse, and first target are damage stats
