[long saddle]

ye well it's ainz so

[kind jay]

sexual lobster spotted

[ripe obsidian]

it works well. You focus more on unlimited EK LMB during Warp Unbound than you do stacking SG.

[jovial juniper]

I don't do drugs so I just consume a shit ton of energy drinks

[radiant frigate]

[jovial juniper]

Same thing

[radiant frigate]

so do i (one a day at work)

[novel yoke]

sheesh that's crazy

sg always been the one thing I shy away from since it looks so complicated lol

[radiant frigate]

it's really not

press button to enter murdermode

[kind jay]

you turn it on and attack until it's gone

[radiant frigate]

like rampage on scum, or exe stance on vet

[ripe obsidian]

Is less complicated than the description makes it look. It's just a goofy long description

[dire wharf]

Or peanut butter on jelly

[radiant frigate]

the description is indeed rather wordy

[long saddle]

yeah I think a lot of people get hung up on the whole maximizing duration for the power buff

[novel yoke]

idk the funny number in description got me

but that's why im trying it out on malice

[long saddle]

but it's more so free peril while it lasts

[radiant frigate]

but it boils down to spending gradually more peril to become tankier, regenerate toughness, and do more damage

[novel yoke]

and then Ill move up

[novel yoke]

I wonder why SG ends so quickly??

looks at build
warp ghost

I was not cooking with that one

[verbal thistle]

warp ghost doesnt make gaze end faster

[novel yoke]

it doesn't? it felt like it did when I tried it in the psykhaunium

[verbal thistle]

(1) Reduces the rate at which peril is quelled passively by 80%. Applies only to passive quelling above 30% true peril, active quelling is unaffected.

from Kuli guide

and since gaze is always adding peril, passive peril never goes starts

[ripe obsidian]

Ainz. Friend, countryman. What think ye of BCoB on meleeker builds? I see bruh moment and salmon use it, but I do not believe you do.

[verbal thistle]

I dislike it

I only notice it on trash horde where I'd want to keep peril

[dapper flame]

i dont like bcob because when fighting horde it quells me down to 0

[novel yoke]

yeah you're right, I just timed it and they both come out to 14 seconds

[dapper flame]

id much rather yoyo at high peril

[novel yoke]

that's a tough one, managing peril is hard

like its easy when Im not trying to constantly maintain it at a high percentage, but doing that is tough

[dapper flame]

not really, instead of looking at your peril meter, start counting how many left clicks/right clicks before you hit high peril. eventually youll get a feel for where your peril is at when you arent looking at it

[novel yoke]

yeah but then you need to count the seconds to where you use some warp attack again to raise it

and if ur off by like 2 seconds you just raised it too high and now you are human grenade

[dapper flame]

are you talking about a scriers staff build? if you are constantly shooting you just need to know whether or not you pressed scriers

its just a different number

[novel yoke]

oh nah I was continuing from what ainz was talking about of not using crack of bone to keep high peril

[dapper flame]

oh lol on melee nothing generates peril

just tap a quell before a slash

[novel yoke]

yeah exactly

what benefits from high peril on a melee build, its warp splitting and one with the warp only, right?

[dapper flame]

the crit too

warp nexus i think it is

[novel yoke]

I forgot about warp rider, that makes sense

[dapper flame]

w/e its called

warp something

[novel yoke]

warp nexus was a staff only blessing iirc

[dapper flame]

im thinking of unstable power

strength with peril

not crit

[novel yoke]

lowkey I dont think I ever used that one

[ripe obsidian]

Warp Rider, Warp Splitting, One with the Warp for talents.

Warp Nexus, Unstable Power for blessings.

There might be more, but those are the ones I know of offhand. Talents are linear scaling, so they increase per % of peril, while the blessings are stepped, only increasing every 20% peril

[dapper flame]

theres so much stuff on psyker that scales w/ peril so i try to keep my average peril ~85-90%

[novel yoke]

ye warp rider was the important one I was forgetting about

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/pro-move-ted-lasso-nicely-done-compliment-jason-sudeikis-gif-17283104469342346529

[ripe obsidian]

@spice aurora how much more SG uptime do you get with BCoB versus not having it (taking Warp Splitting instead)?

[novel yoke]

damn I guess I gotta start practising maintaining peril then

[dapper flame]

theres a cool mod for tracking your peril. heres what my peril looks like in a usual 40

[pale prairie]

Warp ghost makes it fucking easy

[dapper flame]

but the entire game in my head i have a 4 shot then tap quell loop

[pale prairie]

Damn that’s pretty good. Shriek build?

[dapper flame]

then i shriek and shoot ~10 shots and start the quell loop again

yeah shriek left click ek

[ripe obsidian]

that is a cool mod.

[pale prairie]

Needs more 6s and Frogs

[novel yoke]

its effect seems very pronounced when I tried it just now, I couldn't get to 30 stacks of sg without crack of bone but with it I got to 30 stacks by the time my peril was 25%

just trying it in the psykhaunium

[dapper flame]

you dont need to max it out every time

[thorn cedar]

you should want to keep it active during a fight for as long as you would like

but yes you dont gotta max it

[pale prairie]

If you have BCoB it should be close though. Only reason to have it (outside quietude)

[thorn cedar]

i actually really like BCoB for burst smiting cause i can use the 4s timer on the -20% peril gen to tempo out my CC and then i poke a couple heads and rinse and repeat

[novel yoke]

you don't, but how are you gonna test something that specific? its different between each player and the situation, so smth like stacks is easy to count

[pale prairie]

Uptime Mod

[thorn cedar]

nah he means like

how are you gonna measure whether someone should or shouldnt keep stacks going in a given instance

[pale prairie]

Ooooh

[thorn cedar]

you really would have to occupy their brain while watching their gameplay to know

[pale prairie]

More like “did you win?”

[thorn cedar]

and we just dont have that kind of technology yet

[pale prairie]

If you won then that’s how long/many

[thorn cedar]

that works too

[dapper flame]

yeah, but i think maintaining high peril is more important. you should still get probably at least 15-20 stacks and i think that maintaining the high peril buffs feels a lot better than the extra damage. you get 10 seconds of lingering effect after sg ends anyways which is far more than enough time to loop it again

[pale prairie]

This philosophy is why I don’t get BCoB

[dapper flame]

up to you really, if you like how bcob feels who cares right

play what you want

[spice aurora]

im not gonna lie i dont think i care about BCOB or warp shitting with SG

cause i use FGS, so cleave...i dont really care too much, it kinda helps build up the special a bit faster when NOT running SG, but with SG my peril is all over the place..and then i slash and everything dies anyway. ESPECIALLY if you heavy special into a horde to "refund" a huge chunk of ur bar

then BCOB i forget its been so long but i think i get like 3-4 more SG Stacks

it is nice though watching peril drop hard when ur hitting a horde, if anything it may buy me a bit of quelling power to use FGS special and not hit 100% (i also dont use the 10s free peril thingy for SG)

[dapper flame]

yeah, but you can also just tap a 1 tick quell before a slash every time

[thorn cedar]

not at high hav

[dapper flame]

yes you can

[thorn cedar]

i guess you'd just be holding it down a touch longer

[spice aurora]

whats tha do? i have no idea

[thorn cedar]

but it gets spooky real quick if youve been scryin for too long

[spice aurora]

is it like doing that with a staff so the special uses 0 peril

[thorn cedar]

but also like w/e i just let it go cause you are explode immune for 1.5s at the end of gaze

[dapper flame]

because of the way peril works, if you are below 100% peril no matter how much a peril generating action generates, it will take you to 100 and not blow you up

[thorn cedar]

some do you at 97%

[dapper flame]

so you only have to quell a single tick to throw out a slash

[spice aurora]

oh thats wat ur talkin about

i mostly meant BCOB might let me use the special and not hit 100%, as in it wont actually end SG

[dapper flame]

oh ic

[novel yoke]

the special slash on the FGS is different if you heavy attack? I didn't know that one

[spice aurora]

it may put me close to ending but sometimes i notice BCOB lets me get to like peril 90 and then it drops down to 40 again cause the horde is so thic

[dapper flame]

eh, i can just wait until im in lingering effect before throwing it

thats the exact reason why i dont like it lol

[frail oar]

Bcob with quietude is funny

[dapper flame]

when the horde is thick you can quell yourself down to 0 and lose all of your peril buffs

[spice aurora]

in my head idk what the point of the linger talent is without like assail or doing some funny staff thing

for me when i hit 100 peril, it just flies back down anyways (prolly cuz bcob) so idk

[dapper flame]

warp unbound? scriers lingers without warp unbound

warp unbound just makes it so that you can cast at 100 during the lingering effect

[spice aurora]

but like in a real game for melee psyk for exmple idk when im taking advantage

im sure i can i just cant think of it xD prolly would notice if i actually tried it out

[thorn cedar]

its 10s where i can pump my staff at maximum volume without worrying about prematurely exploding

thats really valuable

shut up be mature

[spice aurora]

i think for my build / playstyle i just dont use my staff much xD

[dapper flame]

its nice for staff builds, on melee i dont think its that useful

i run heavy las for mobility on melee

[spice aurora]

im a whore for the 20% msspeed, i know ppl dont use it much but it lets me do a lot of dumb shit

[thorn cedar]

big agree

love to zoom

[dapper flame]

lol yeah because i dont use bcob i dont use that, i just swap to heavylas if i need to run

it is a lot of fun though

[spice aurora]

https://youtu.be/KzI0TbhufN8?si=ADhlsmKVCPXzRr-6&t=320

at 5:20, example of dumb shit

u can do without msspeed but it just makes it a lot easier and forgiving if you fk something up

[thorn cedar]

now imagine you had mind in motion

and could zoom all the time

[dapper flame]

you can do similar things if you swap to heavy laspistol because its base movement speed is faster as well, it mostly preference i think

[spice aurora]

yea i technically should use laspistol but i suck at dreg ragers so i just spam them with surge surge lmb

[dapper flame]

based

[spice aurora]

pack of 8 blue stim dreg ragers on h40 drops like flies with surge surge xD

i have some clips where i headshot crit like 4 in a row, killing 4 dreg ragers in like one second is so dumb

[ripe obsidian]

I am currently puzzling whether BCoB or Warp Splitting is better. Both are valid picks, imo. It seems like I average ~80% peril with Warp Splitting and ~55% with BCoB, so I am losing Warp Rider, OwtW, and Unstable Power uptime in exchange for more SG uptime.

[spice aurora]

this is why i think my wall build always nets me the same damage as sg every game. warp rider / unstable sit at max cap, SG makes my shit go all over lol

[dapper flame]

i think warp splitting is better imo. you have 100% sg uptime anyways, just determines how many stacks you get with SG

[thorn cedar]

for me warp splitting is almost entirely 100% based on a single previous decision

"am i using assail"

[ripe obsidian]

What is your current SG meleeker build?

[spice aurora]

same thing on guide i didnt change anything xD

i lied i got my 6th 17% tuffness so for just scriers i changed ability cooldown to health

[ripe obsidian]

So, this?

[spice aurora]

yep

[formal dew]

I feel bad for going back to smite Psyker lol

I like giving a horde a quick zap before wading in with a greatsword

[ripe obsidian]

What would you deselect to make room for Kinetic Flayer, if you were going to take it?

[spice aurora]

the 10% dmg resist is big but i just like the other shit i picked more xD

battle meditation or whatever the hell i actually spent like 20 games with, it gave me quite a few more SG stacks but again i wanted point elsewhere

emp evasion, does nothing for me 95% of the time
5% of the time it stops u from dying entirely so its worth imo just 4 that

normally id do like 10 games deselecting maybe 3-4 diff talents and seeing how it goes but probably the movespeed with SG

the +1 dodge i feel like i need when its rot

you can also try just 15 stacks DD and not using the weakspot +3stack, or stay on 25 stak and drop the weakspot

i tried iwth a few games, idk if skill issue but i literally have 1-5 stacks for whole game only without it

i spent i think 20-25 games with flayer and biggest change? i didnt notice much change other than "lol that thing died instantly" when it was gonna die anyway

maybe skill issue but it procs when i dont need it to a lot of the time xD

is there a mod that will tell u kinetic flayer dmg in a game

[ripe obsidian]

Not that I know of, but scoreboard has blitz, so if you never manually use BB, it'll just count KF

[hoary vapor]

bro what the fuck why is this melee so broken

i dont even have a staff or anything

[spice aurora]

if u do few games cnaa u lemme know the flayer dmg xD

I know its good for push attack kiling specials but whenever i used my shit was always on cooldown when i needed it

[radiant frigate]

bonk

[ripe obsidian]

so far it is 35k of my 250k damage. But I also died

[hoary vapor]

theres no way this shit is balanced

[spice aurora]

like anything my staff shoots is gonna die so fast, so sometimes flayer felt like it "steals" the kill
and for melee it was cool for crusher/mauler but then am i using a whole point for just that, idk Q_Q

ideally id want the linger overload and assail but i need more pts lol

[hoary vapor]

oh yeah btw its unupgraded

like WHAT

WHY

[radiant frigate]

fgs just works

[spice aurora]

how much of that do u think is kinda stolen from attacks that wouldve otherwise instantly killed something anyways

[deft stump]

Big bonk sword? Basically the best melee weapon in the game if it were an all class thing.

[hoary vapor]

what the hell man

i just wanted to use a cool looking weapon

this sucks

[spice aurora]

chainsword best melee in game

[deft stump]

It is cool though.

[hoary vapor]

its less cool if itsd broken

[spice aurora]

it has a bit of skill floor in higher difficulties if that makes u feel better about it

[deft stump]

Because of kinda low mobility.

Is like Powersword but more mobile. Though I think Powersword output is higher.

[spice aurora]

fgs just has good attack momentum or w.e its called
u arent slowed down much, and if ur sprint heavy'ing then ur literally faster like its a knife xD

like attacking with eviscerator, u go to snail speed

[deft stump]

Ah, so better mobility does fit.

[dire wharf]

BFG go brrrrt

[spice aurora]

one of those weapons idk how theyd balance it

i never see any1 use in h40 and if i do they just die all the time

and the few ppl that can use it, basically have no weakness

XD

i think the most egregious thing i did with it once was full kill a melee twin, solo on h40, before its shield even came back up, like it does some dumbass damage

[hoary vapor]

how is this enemy alive

[mellow gorge]

higher tax bracket

[dire wharf]

Nurgle has good healthcare

[ripe obsidian]

should be none

KF should apply after other attacks

[deft stump]

I think is why is kinda balanced, karking Med-high skill floor to high skill celling weapon.

[spice aurora]

how about enemies tha wouldve died anyway

like for me, a bomber id normally shoot twice anyways with surge surge, maybe it dies in 1 but i wouldve basically killed stupid fast anyways

[ripe obsidian]

I can't answer that.

but this is the outcome of striking a rager in the psykhanium

Only the remaining 974 HP went to BB

[buoyant maple]

powerDI

[ripe obsidian]

I am having a hell of a time trying to test stuff in game right now. Everything is on like a half-second delay, despite my ping being normal.

[wind spruce]

So instead of sweet fuck all slightly less fuck all?

[cosmic sigil]

Scoreboard with ovenproof

[formal dew]

Force Greatsword has a high skill floor?

[buoyant maple]

the TLDR is that FGS is not really good as a sword (and psyker is not good as a frontliner) but the warp slash is hilariously broken

[deft stump]

Well, there's a difference between the avg joe with it and the top 0.1% with it.

Low skill floor is literally you can brain dead and still win on high diff with it.

You try that with it on h30+, you will be on the floor immediately

It's more med floor with a high celling when you see the best players on it.

[formal dew]

It's cleave is really good though isn't it?

mixed horde is insane especially on Psyker of all classes

[buoyant maple]

no, actually

[formal dew]

Surprising

I can do pretty much anything with it

[dapper flame]

the slash has pretty good cleave

[formal dew]

Haven't really found any weapon better than it

cracking a crushers carapace with a stab to the head is always nice

[buoyant maple]

L sweep is medium cleave so 6.5

H sweep is large cleave so 8

so yea it's not that high

with psyker's peril-scale cleave talent it can reliably gets to 10+

which is generally considered good (10+) but not exceptional (16.2+)

u can reach 16.2+ with unstable power & peril cleave tho
but this is still a weapon that hits no major stagger breakpoints outside SP warp slash (rly op) and PA (hits 1 guy)

and not amazing cleave damage distribution

[hoary vapor]

voidstrike or electrokinetic

[thorn cedar]

cleave stagger is alright

[hoary vapor]

whats ur preference

BUDDY

[thorn cedar]

electro

[hoary vapor]

thanks PAL

i tried it and i got like a million damage

[formal dew]

Oh yeah speaking of electro

what's the whole thing of electro apparently having better primary fire than other staffs?

because I've used them all and they all build up peril at the same rate

[jovial juniper]

It's due to the CRIT bonus stat

It just has more chance and deals more critical damage

It says melee in there but that's not accurate

[patent hatch]

Melee psyker makes zealot blush

[hoary vapor]

its unupgraded btw and like 300

[patent hatch]

Nice

I mean tbf, depending on the difficulty that either means nothing or everything

but yea greatsword is lovely

[thorn cedar]

Electro has a crit modifier, so higher crit chance + crit damage

oh

my internet took a sec

i see that got answered in full

[agile moth]

so I know the meta is mostly toughness curios, but i see some people running stamine, or wounds for marty zealot

my question is, does anyone ever run one stamina +3 curio with psyker? Cause one showed up my shop and I`m wondering if i should grab it just in case

[ripe obsidian]

Rarely. Psyker has the lowest stamina regen delay and gets +3 stamina from talents

There is little reason to take a stamina curio

[thorn cedar]

i does

idk just exceptionally cozy with KD

[pale prairie]

No way you?!? Mr. sonic himself?

https://tenor.com/view/sanic-the-hedgehob-running-gotta-go-fast-fast-gif-4964355

[agile moth]

aight i`ll take just in case

[thorn cedar]

i like to make the speed

(:

[peak sundial]

some people swear by it but i feel like those people are weird

[dapper flame]

If you want more stamina you have the option of taking warp ghost too

You also don't have a lot of push attack heavy combos iirc

[peak sundial]

vet probably has the best argument via the funny Deadshot perk but in most cases for most classes, by my reckoning, stamina should not be that hard to manage without investment

personal taste

[dapper flame]

Yeah stamina is to taste. I grab warp ghost and +2 stam on knife so I have more stamina to res but I never give up a curio for it

Far more than enough stamina to res with no res speed perks even if all 8? slots are filled

[ripe obsidian]

died twice in stupid ways (lost a game of chicken with a sniper, dodged into an overhead), but managed to get a more hybrid version of surge surge SG working. Ranged focus, but swapping to melee wasn't bad.

[wind spruce]

Share talents?

[ripe obsidian]

This is the build from that game. I want PC + Souldrinker to be worth it so I can justify pathing to Empyric Shock, but I don't think it is.

Gonna try this next. Not sure if I want the last point in +10% ranged damage or Anticipation or something else.

this has potential

disappointing.

meanwhile I have these two on my second psyker I never play:

[spiral fiber]

Is assail a good psyker build for auric levels ? And if so what would be a good skill tree. I googled it but seemed many variations

[zealous wing]

theres a guide in the pins

[wind spruce]

Holy shit a 10%

Literally the holy grail of low warp resist

[ripe obsidian]

It is my fanciest weapon that I never get to use

20% is my new lowest Deimos on this character, but it was so close to being 16%

[wind spruce]

18% is a good target to aim for

It'll cost tens of millions but its attainable

[ripe obsidian]

I've spent 10s of millions

[wind spruce]

Aiming any lower is just frustration

I should spend some more now i think of it xD

[ripe obsidian]

My current goal is just sub-20 on both Deimos and FGS

I buy 100 swords whenever I get close to 25m

[wind spruce]

Just spent it allllll

Guys, is there a combo for fgs for horde aside of light spamming?

[long saddle]

l1, l2, block cancel, repeat

for mk6

[jovial juniper]

QQ heavy QQ heavy QQ heavy QQ heavy

[bitter spade]

I tend to do L3 before I block cancel. It is diag with extra finesse. Could do a qq or heavy instead of the block.

[long saddle]

yeah I sometimes do l3 but not always

[patent hatch]

GIVE

[patent hatch]

L1 L2 block cancel. Or L1 L2 L3 block cancel (if its a mixed hoarde sometimes I'll do a l4 onto a armoured weak spot

But normally im switching to chaining heavies executioner style

[zealous wing]

or L1 L2 L3 then a heavy (H3?)

note this is for mark 6

for mark 8 it is just light spam

[wind spruce]

Mk 8 doesnt exist

Its a myth, a delusion

[frail oar]

Mk 8 is heavy light

And mk 8 is fun

[ashen edge]

The animation is cooler imo. Keep chopping instead of chop then stab

[zealous wing]

nah

mk8 requires stamina to do a stab

[frail oar]

Don't need a stab

[ripe obsidian]

I propose a trade. In exchange, you become my throne.

[zealous wing]

then no bossmelt for you

Im aware of the moveset just like you are

[patent hatch]

Id be willing to accept that

That great sword looks tasty as fuck

Mk VI my beloved

[jovial juniper]

Of course mk8 is a myth

Because only the Greatest weapons are worth of legends

[patent hatch]

Im still unsure about the deimos tbh

Using tbay special attack feels dangerous

Hoarde clear combo also feels cranky

Clanky

[ripe obsidian]

They did name the sword after me, after all

[ripe obsidian]

Deimos special is bad and should almost never be used. And it's bad for hordes. It is a single-target weapon.

The H2 knocks crushers over if you get a headshot and can pretty easily 3-shot them without a meleeker build

[jovial juniper]

Sticky attacks are all dangerous that's true

[patent hatch]

Thought as much

[patent hatch]

Feels like the easiest way to get overheated

Headed

[jovial juniper]

And only Evis15 and Chaxe12 are worth using the sticky

[formal harness]

L1 H2 block cancel repeat for armor

[jovial juniper]

Because they bite hard

[patent hatch]

Huh

[formal harness]

never use deimos special unless mutie running past you and you don't have time to chain h2

[zealous wing]

why block cancel

[formal harness]

swap cancel faster

but I got too used to block cancel

so you can throw out l1 again

[patent hatch]

I mean, swap cancel is always gonna be faster

But i dont hate myself enough to do that

[formal harness]

its all about getting better with a weapon, regular loop is fine if you don't care too much

[patent hatch]

L1 into heavy chains should be alr as well?

Can't remember the heavy combo tbh

[ripe obsidian]

Poke

[formal harness]

other heavy is a slower swipe that does mid dmg

queuing into l1 is better dmg (because you access h2 faster)

[patent hatch]

Fair

Its become my go to defensive weapon with deflector on staff builds

[zealous wing]

why bother with looping to l1

[patent hatch]

Does it realistically need rending perks or is that vid without it?

[zealous wing]

just light heavy loop seems faster at a glance here

rather than l1 h2 bc

[patent hatch]

Been tempted to run blazing spirit on it tbh

[zealous wing]

wh

no

blazing melee is pointless

[formal harness]

because l1 is the fastest attack you can pull out so looping back to it to get back to h2 is faster and more dmg than l1 h2 l3 h2

[patent hatch]

I agree, but its called a blaze force sword ya know

[formal harness]

it is one of the reasons why skitarius macro l1 is extremely overpowered

[jovial juniper]

True

[zealous wing]

anyone who uses such macros is simply cheating for no purpose

[patent hatch]

Only macro i ever used was

Dual axes move tech

On slayer

I dont want to loose feeling in my hands

[jovial juniper]

cough if you want to run blazing spirit run illisi because at least you can get 21+ cleave on it cough

[ashen edge]

I use the heavy special to confirm kill mutant that pass me

[zealous wing]

macros in general are fine, soon as they start being used to do something someone cant reasonably do for a whole mission... thats where it falls into cheat territory

[formal harness]

if the check for blazing spirit happened before the enemy died to damage it could be quite interesting

[zealous wing]

ie, bleed FGS

its such a pointless thing to macro

[patent hatch]

Bleed fgs is cool. But its overkill and hard to replicate xD

[zealous wing]

but people do, and have done it for a whole mission, obviously macroing, and lying about macroing

overkill? KEKW

i outdamaged them on normal melee psyker

[patent hatch]

Nice

[ashen edge]

Some people use it to chain h2 on deimos and melt everything. That is just straight up cheating imo

[patent hatch]

I often find myself doing slightly wacky amounts of overkill damage on melee psyker in auric malestrome

[formal harness]

I've tested both l1 spam is way more damage but less safer compared to l1 h2

[patent hatch]

My brain tells me to use the fgs like Krubers executioner blade

So that's probs why

[ashen edge]

What i mean is they did it in the speed that normal human can't do

[jovial juniper]

No such thing as overkill anyways

[ashen edge]

There's a proverb in my language about using a cow killing knife on a chicken 🐔. Way overkill like that

[formal harness]

yeah I understand, what I mean is macroers will prefer l1 spam over l1 h2 spam with macros but I've seen both too
interesting that people still play with that shit

there's a new macro cycling around btw

for surge staff m1 spam

[jovial juniper]

There's a saying that goes
Go hard or go home

[ashen edge]

Yeah, I just don't understand why are they satisfied with that. There's no challenges or self improvement

[formal harness]

it's using the run cancel tech for the macro

[jovial juniper]

If you're not dealing 9999999 damage to a 0.5hp ant
You should go home

[formal harness]

you might notice it in your games

[jovial juniper]

I Lowkey haven't seen Ek psykers lately

I will make extra sure to pay attention if I find one

[formal harness]

I kinda want to play with ek staff now lol

been a while

[patent hatch]

EK?

Trauma

Or go home

[jovial juniper]

Weak Aura

Electrokinetic or bust

[patent hatch]

The only staffs I see are voidstrike and flame

Tbh

Ek and trauma dont get shit

[jovial juniper]

I haven't seen Voidstrike since 2022

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[patent hatch]

I saw one yesterday

[jovial juniper]

Actually when did they nerf True Aim again

[patent hatch]

Uhhh

[jovial juniper]

2023?

Yeah

[patent hatch]

Maybe yea

[jovial juniper]

I haven't seen Voidstrike since 2023

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

No

I think it was 2024?

Sotm gave shotguns to Psyker

So TA got nerfed

[patent hatch]

I never liked it

[jovial juniper]

I haven't seen a Voidstrike since 2024

https://tenor.com/view/im-in-my-prime-funny-ironic-age-old-gif-11480659

[deft stump]

You sure you didn't mix up VoidBLAST and VoidSTRIKE?

[patent hatch]

Trauma and EK are the only ones I play with

[patent hatch]

Its trauma smh

[deft stump]

I see them, but is usually clearly newer players.

[formal harness]

I'm actually working on a build with voidstrike rn

[pure plinth]

how is agri shotgun on gun psyker

[formal harness]

will let you know if it's any good on rotten

[jovial juniper]

Nothing's ever good on rotten

Except dots

[formal harness]

try trauma

[jovial juniper]

If nothing got me I know dots will

Can I get an amen

[formal harness]

explosion damage also completely ignores dr

[patent hatch]

I still want to make a double barrel psyker build work smh

[formal harness]

so you get burn plus explo dmg

[formal harness]

voidblast staff for cool new kids in the block

[patent hatch]

I wish it wasn't just

Completely overshadowed in its so called archtype

[formal harness]

I'd argue trauma is even stronger in rotten than fire staff

it also gives you safety with stagger

[jovial juniper]

Yeah nothing's ever good on rotten

[frail oar]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-happy-dance-praise-break-scoot-around-the-rosey-gif-7077314785910770857

[formal harness]

the problem with voidstrike into rotten

is the fact that the damage of it is frontloaded into the non explosive part

which is a shame really

[jovial juniper]

Good enough

[ripe obsidian]

Uncanny is a necessary blessing, yeah

[ripe obsidian]

Rending Trauma + Shriek has been my go-to Trauma build lately, rather than Blazing.

[formal harness]

not a bad idea, I generally dont stay on trauma long and switch to my sword

I play disrupt with it

deimos with disrupt destiny is bs op

the brittle doesnt matter much when you have %120 rending

so I stick with blazing

[ripe obsidian]

100%*

It caps

The code is something like min(1, rending_amount), so you can't get over 100% bonus

I think Blazing Trauma works best with SG + Warp Unbound for unlimited explosions, but I haven't touched the build much

[frail oar]

Does brittle provide the 0.25 damage bonus conversion for over 100% pen?

[patent hatch]

Tbh I might try normal force sword or maybe chain sword on melee psyker

[deft stump]

Do not chainsword unless you want to cut yourself.

[patent hatch]

It's a fun weapon :3

[deft stump]

I rather use the Illisi over it.

[patent hatch]

o.0

Intresting

[deft stump]

I do wish Illisi get some buffs, yes, but the feel is imo, better.

[patent hatch]

in theory I prefer Illisi over demios

but the numbers aint there

What about the Obscurus I don't see people mentoining that one

[marble crater]

It's too weird, that's why

[patent hatch]

Gonna have to give it a swing

[marble crater]

Moveset is more hassle than the other two

[patent hatch]

weird is fun sometimes

[deft stump]

Strong, but too complex for most.

[jovial juniper]

You could say that

It's obscure

[deft stump]

Can't just braindead it either.

[patent hatch]

Heavy light light for single target and light block cancel for hoarde 🤔

Or Light Heavy Light for hoarde 🤔

and heavy light heavy for single target

strange

[formal harness]

yeah the sum of rending buffs cannot exceed 1 so that's valid.
I was just touching into the absurdness of a single blessing being able to give so much rending it has to discard a %20 lol

[patent hatch]

Ok I kinda like the Obscurus

[formal harness]

funnily enough

I ran through a rotten armor havoc twice

with a voidstrike

and its quite decent

pairing it up with deimos gets rid of its armor weakness

it has quite good hordeclear with fire stacks

[raven wave]

Hey everyone! Just joined, I recently made a Psyker and am roleplaying him as someone who was really inspired by the Grey Knights, so he uses a force greatsword and has armor. What talents/weapons/cosmetics do you think would work well with making him as close to a grey knight as possible?

[hoary mauve]

i like the red and black FGS. it doesnt look lore accurate tho, probably

[patent hatch]

I mean I don't really think there's any grey knights talents

Are grey knights even specific flavours of psychers?

I meeeeaeaaaan

Cause grey knights are basically never corrupted bye chaos

you could just run max corruption resistance lol

and then maybe Crystaline Will

but that really is reaching lol

Charged Strike is kind of grey knighty?

and you can pick up a bolt pistol on psyker as well

[jovial juniper]

Idk

Although there are some grey colored gear

[patent hatch]

I don't realy know if theres any grey/steel gear which is also blueish

I doubt it

[dire wharf]

I didn't like ot ebough to buy it, which is a shame because its my fav weapon by far

[zealous wing]

i would have to be infodumped about grey knights to help

[dire wharf]

Monstrosum(sp) penance armor

[patent hatch]

I know a bit but more cause I hate them xD

[zealous wing]

infodump grey knights to me and i'll see what i can help with, here or DMs is fine, depending how far you wanna explain

i'm running games so DMs might be easier to not get lost

[patent hatch]

They are basically the, ultimate anti deamon space marines

all psykers

all in silver power armour with a blueish tint

and they like force weapons

[zealous wing]

i need to know what they look like, how they behave, what abilities they have, what weaponry they use, things they would never do, etc

the more detail the better tbh

[patent hatch]

Their singature weapons are basically, wrist mounted bolt guns and force melee weapons

force halberds specifically

[jovial juniper]

One of the grey hoods

[dire wharf]

BFG/Shredder autopistol

[patent hatch]

Bolt gun no?

bolt pistol*

[zealous wing]

MM armour is too dark

[patent hatch]

Yeah it defo is

but idk if theres anything better

[zealous wing]

i cant switch to psyker to check atm

[dire wharf]

Give psykers bolter please

[zealous wing]

but ik grey krieg is closer

[patent hatch]

maybe

or this one

[jovial juniper]

The smite pants are a bit more purpleish yeah

[patent hatch]

This one could be decent as well for simlar reasons

Might be a case of mix and match

[zealous wing]

for free cosmetics i think i'd go with this for them

from commissary and one penance

[dire wharf]

Icefall is not free 🙈

[zealous wing]

and FGS would be the closest to a halberd due to range

well no shit

i am not gonna take off my cosmetic

[dire wharf]

You better!

[zealous wing]

theres two free ones in commissary as well, one red one blue

[jovial juniper]

Yeah that's very grey

[dire wharf]

There needs to be more skins. Do they not like money

[jovial juniper]

They do

Is just that this dogshit system they are currently using pays more

(dogshitly)

[wind wind]

Any of here willing to play a quick auric or havoc Game with me?

As in, now?

[ripe obsidian]

Braver man than me. I think I would not have much fun with Voidstrike in Havoc

[cosmic cobalt]

I don't even have fun with voidstrike in auric

genuinely feeling like gimping yourself for using it

it might because im running dd

[formal harness]

it is

try it with left keystone

6 stacks

[cosmic cobalt]

dd is just more fun

[formal harness]

cycle your scriers

[cosmic cobalt]

but yeah I can't make ot work

[ripe obsidian]

Over 100% ADMs, yes, it should.

[formal harness]

@cosmic cobalt we can hop in a 40 game rn

if you are around

you can try the voidstrike

[cosmic cobalt]

we are like half the world away lmao

latency be damned

[formal harness]

damn

fair

@ripe obsidian you want in?

[cosmic cobalt]

i used to play with a friend with like 200 ping in vt2 and that wasn't that bad

but dt isn't p2p and ranged is more important

[ripe obsidian]

I am at work and slacking off, so I cannot right now. Accursed NA timezone.

[raven wave]

Currently using laspistol

Thanks for all the input about the grey knight psyker! I currently use the silver full armor (blue rarity I believe) from the commissary, and I think there was a premium helmet that has a knight-like mouthpiece that I am looking to get, but right now my psyker is helmet less.

[raven wave]

I use this one minus the helmet

[spice aurora]

this is the only white helmet u should use

[ripe obsidian]

The toilet bowl

[frail oar]

The Emperor's Bidet

[jovial juniper]

It's a toilet bowl

Which explains Psykers brain farts

Dangerous too

what about fire?

[ripe obsidian]

Fire spreads itself.

[patent hatch]

Dam right

[fathom adder]

Why not both?
(just not with Blazing Spirit on the sword)

[slim nimbus]

Shame that we have to juice up our blade with warp and suffer the peril, while everyone else has things like big clubs and hammers they just press the fun electric button on without any issue

[patent hatch]

In exchange for that

we get better DPS :3

[verbal thistle]

no peril FGS probably out dps 95% of the weapons in this game

[patent hatch]

no question

its already nuts dps with peril

actually

It might loose some DPS cause of peril interacting with talents and perks

[pale prairie]

then what use are you?

[fresh panther]

cuts to clip of thunder hammer self stunning the user after activated hit and them eating a crusher overhead

[ripe obsidian]

That is the eternal question.

[wind spruce]

Nice burn mitchell

[slim nimbus]

Is that a thing that happens that I haven't noticed

I have been trying a zealot on the side and it's been fun just smashing crushers in the fact over and over

Since I don't do any of the backstab tryhard stuff

[wind spruce]

it used to be a really long "stun" where you couldnt dodge or block

was fucked

[thorn cedar]

well

you used to be able to uh

idk what we called it

you could skip the stun

by equipping the hammer again

[fresh panther]

qq cancel the stun I think

[thorn cedar]

nah

you'd just press the hammer equip button lol

like 1

[wind spruce]

bruh why did people even complain then

fucking zealots man

[fresh panther]

never heard of that, I qq canceled it lol

[thorn cedar]

yea you'd tap one and it'd instantly skip it

[dapper flame]

2 many buttons for normies to press

[slim nimbus]

The thing that upsets me on zealot is the flamer takes a million years to pull out

[dapper flame]

knife

[thorn cedar]

throwing knife

[slim nimbus]

And they have no bespoke ranged weapon other than that

Yeah there is the knife cancel, but I hate the knife

I hate that it comes out instantly instead of equipping it

[dapper flame]

knife is zealots best blitz imo

[slim nimbus]

Feels like shit

[dapper flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slim nimbus]

Yeah it's for sure meta

[dapper flame]

hitting knives is really fun for me

[slim nimbus]

I binded it to middle mouse button which helped

[dapper flame]

i have it on a foot pedal

[loud girder]

i would hate knife if i had to equip it first

[slim nimbus]

Still doesn't feel very zealoty though

[loud girder]

the whole point is quick snipes

[slim nimbus]

Just because most blitzes get equipped

[dapper flame]

so i dont accidentally shift my aim when i press it on the mouse

[white sky]

I prefer blitz that don't get equipped

[loud girder]

its very zealoty, its in the assassin branch alongside stealth

[white sky]

Big fan of knife and blinders on scum cause of that

[slim nimbus]

So slamming g for a pinpoint knife toss when my team mate suck dick at special sniping is annoying

[white sky]

Dog bomb too for arb

[fresh panther]

knife

[loud girder]

i put knife on middle mouse

and then kept all my blitzes there

[slim nimbus]

Hate that branch, never will you see me being cowardly stealth while I am supposed to be a zealous fanatic

[loud girder]

cowardly?

its peak

[dapper flame]

i used to use scroll wheel down to throw blitzes but i would always accidentally throw too many

[loud girder]

going unseen and 1 shotting a big mf is very zealoty

[fresh panther]

I agree with this, I generally dislike stealth

[loud girder]

i used to dislike it until they changed it

its cool

[slim nimbus]

I am sure it's satisfying to get the big damage and one shot things with it in a sense

[fresh panther]

I respect the single target damage burst but still dislike stealth lol

[loud girder]

but i also like stealth as a concept just hated how it used to work

[slim nimbus]

Just doesn't feel right

[fresh panther]

when I use it I'm stealthing for like .25 seconds to stab and that's it

[slim nimbus]

The unfaithful and the monsters will see my face as I destroy them

Look me in the eye and know my righteous fury

Wrath be upon ye

[loud girder]

hey u can larp in different ways

u can shove a book up their faces too

[slim nimbus]

Not elderscrolls sneak archer

[dapper flame]

stealth has some insane util. i dont think that the damage is the best part of it. its really nice to be able to just unga bunga do an obj in the middle of everything

[loud girder]

it aint sneak archer, its corvo from dishonored

[dapper flame]

or pick people up so that they can die again

[slim nimbus]

Always

You can usually use the chorus too and get a revive in at the end

People seem to hate chorus though

Both using it and having it used near them

Like hating smykers

[dapper flame]

my issue with chorus is that it relies on my teammates who are always trustworthy , as we all know

[slim nimbus]

I mean

Yeah

But it can also be used to mitigate their weakness

[dapper flame]

like i could buff my teammates and have them deal more damage, or i can just do it all myself

[slim nimbus]

And save them from getting their shit pushed in

[dapper flame]

if you kill everything you still save them

[slim nimbus]

There might be times where if you don't have it, they will die

[dapper flame]

or just run and pick them up at the respawn beacon later

[slim nimbus]

Sure

But there are risks to either way

You might kill everything and do it perfectly but whoops a disabler ganks you

[dapper flame]

i think that you will see more variance on chorus thanyou will on the other abilities

[slim nimbus]

Chorus let me save someones expedition earlier

Just using it as a time saving window while there were too many snipers and specials as the door timer ticked and other players left out of rage

[dapper flame]

stealth saves 40 runs pretty consistently because you can just pick everyone up by yourself

same idea

[slim nimbus]

Can't pick them up when they are dead far as fuck away

[dapper flame]

different methods

run faster lol

[slim nimbus]

Pretty much

But like I said I don't care for stealth just aesthetically

[fresh panther]

my last 40 I was the only person with clearance below 40 (mine was 33) and ended up clutching with stealth on the fatmangus build

[dapper flame]

u right though in the way that if i have a dogshit zealot on my team 10 times out of 10 i want him on book rather than stealth

[ripe obsidian]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1272804331497979935/1450700850132418651/Kill_All_Smykers.gif

[dapper flame]

just run past all the stuff they are smiting

it will kill them

[slim nimbus]

What is book

Oh the icon is a book, yeah

[dapper flame]

chorus of spiritual fortitude

yeah

[slim nimbus]

The little thing they pull out is some idol they sleep with to be comfy

Angry pious scottish fella is good VA though

[ripe obsidian]

This is the most significant difference I have experienced between newer/less skilled players and more skilled ones. More skilled players are much more comfortable with movement and positioning and such, and in turn value damage more highly. If you kill a threat, it is removed and no longer a threat. Less skilled players rely more on defensive talents/abilities to make up for lacking movement and positioning, but those defensive abilities only mitigate a threat temporarily rather than removing it.

[dapper flame]

its the difference between a 20-30m h40 and a 50m slogfest

[ripe obsidian]

Yes.

[dapper flame]

i think that taking defensive stuff and going for that long makes the game significanly harder because of how much you get bogged down and the game throws more and more dps checks at you

much more time to fail

[ripe obsidian]

With good, aggressive players, my H40s are often sub-30 minutes. Quickest I have had with randoms was like a 22 minute Oubliette. With not so good players who don't move forward? Get ready for 45 minutes of attrition before a frustrating loss.

[dapper flame]

30 i would say is an average clear pace with 1 other person who really knows what they're doing and 2 just whatever guys

maybe 30-40

with 3 good players its 25-30 and on a fully stacked teams we were averaging 20m a few days ago

the faster you move the easier the game gets

[ripe obsidian]

It is true

Never stop moving forward, except to kill bosses, generally.

[dapper flame]

just dont move so fast that the game entity locks because then it just becomes boring lol

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I don't get the appeal of breaking spawning to get 10 minute games. It's just kinda bleh

[pale prairie]

Hard to move forward if you all gather before a drop go down alone and then the rest retreat back 3 rooms and run in circles for 5 min before going “we should go for revive”

[dapper flame]

happens

the woes of party finder

[pale prairie]

I look like a melee doofus charging in alone only to realize everyone is just watching from above

[ripe obsidian]

I don't know that I have done a sub-20m H40 with randoms. I have done, like, an 18m Baross when two people went down in our premade and the remaining people decided to race to the end for fun

[patent hatch]

[dapper flame]

i mainly play w/ a stack and we just run giga damage 2 psyker 2 scum

[patent hatch]

we got 90% of the way through the mission, ahem. 40 Reapers

Death

[dapper flame]

the scoreboards look like auric games at the end lol

[ripe obsidian]

I'm like 50% randoms, 25% very good premades, 25% premades of varying skill

[patent hatch]

Imagine finding randoms consisntely enough

Auric Malestrom is the highest I can play with randoms smh

[ripe obsidian]

I don't have issues finding randoms usually. I just host my own games unless I really hate the modifiers

[dapper flame]

i have two others who are in my stack who are very good, and the last guy is just whoever from either the server or party finder. if we pick up someone insane we get sub 20 games, otherwise its like 25-30

yeah just host your own havoc

[patent hatch]

tru

[ripe obsidian]

Though I don't vet builds 90% of the time, so my randoms are often... questionable

But I don't care enough to check everyone's build

[dapper flame]

lol ill take anyone so long as they have upgraded weapons and curios

[ripe obsidian]

I just wanna play the game

[patent hatch]

See my issue is, I don't really know all the classes

sooo

[dapper flame]

please dont bring your blue 8% toughness curio into my h40

[patent hatch]

watch me

[ripe obsidian]

I take most people with >30 havoc clearance

[dapper flame]

yeah lol

[ripe obsidian]

Is on Nexus, just called Peril Tracker

[patent hatch]

True peril?

ah no I got it

[pale prairie]

No Peril Tracjer

It’s just for nerd talk

[patent hatch]

I should download true peril as well tbh

[ripe obsidian]

True peril has helped my “don’t blow myself up” game tremendously

[dapper flame]

do you have the modified scoreboard one that shows havoc level/modifiers?

[ripe obsidian]

I don't have the scoreboard that shows Havoc, no

[dapper flame]

https://github.com/augentism/darktide-scoreboard-edits

it wont work retroactively, but it will for missions you run further. on beginning a mission and leaving you will get some debug messages but you can just ignore them

it also saves a scoreboard when you leave a game with the menu rather than only when you finish

so if you drop out to save a map it doesnt wipe out the data

[ripe obsidian]

I am pretty novice at software engineering, so most of what I do is heavily assisted by AI

[dapper flame]

ive only ever done layer 1 bc my undergrad was in RF

[dreamy viper]

Is there an actual use for the fire staff's m1?

[dapper flame]

yes

applying empyric shock and staggering mobs

it has insane stagger

[dreamy viper]

Ah

[ripe obsidian]

You probably know more than me about RF. My degree is in English. I pivoted to IT a few years ago to get a job. Speedran the CWNE cert in 3 years and got hired at a big tech company a year ago. My imposter syndrome is sky high.

[dapper flame]

based

you wouldnt be here if you didnt deserve it

[ripe obsidian]

Everyone else at the company who's my age has been in IT for like 15 years. I've been in it for 4.

[patent hatch]

Wait your actively forced to?

[dapper flame]

how else would they justify the millions of dollars the execs decided to spend on tokens?

[ripe obsidian]

Yes

[patent hatch]

Thats

Awful

[dapper flame]

its much more common than you would think

[patent hatch]

Im so sorry xD

[ripe obsidian]

Tbh I don't love my job. It's not what I expected. Way more documentation and administrative work than actual tech work.

[dapper flame]

unfortunately thats just working at a large company

[ripe obsidian]

Title is "Network Engineer" but it's much closer to architect

[ripe obsidian]

I am sadly learning this

[dapper flame]

are you ready for our planning poker session for the next sprint? i think we're gonna combine that meeting with our daily standup so its gonna be a 2 hour "15 minute meeting" rather than a 1 hr one. Make sure to fill out your tickets on jira and update your statuses every time you wipe your ass.

actually i cant make that because of the mandatory lean 6 sigma training we have later that day

[cloud folio]

so psyker force sword just does damage around enemies nearby by just blocking?

[ripe obsidian]

Pls no

[ripe obsidian]

It does not

[cloud folio]

ahh nevermind

[pale prairie]

looks cool though

[dim beacon]

thoughts on paapa essiedu?

[ripe obsidian]

Who or what is that?

[dapper flame]

google tells me that hes snape in the new harry potter tv series?

[pale prairie]

Oh man that whole thing is gonna be problematic

[ripe obsidian]

I don't see how an actor in Harry Potter is particularly relevant to blowing up heretics with our minds for My Beloved.

[ashen edge]

"People" probably mad because now we have black magician in harry potter

[ripe obsidian]

Oh. That's a dumb thing to be mad about.

[dapper flame]

we already had uhh checks notes Kingsley Shacklebolt ... hmmm

[indigo plank]

Hogwarts Legacy had Poppy and a couple others but chronically online people dont play good games

[pale prairie]

Can’t wait for that gang of guys who pants the dark wizard in prep school

[proper spoke]

Don't be distracted by unimportant things. That's what the heretics want

[indigo plank]

On a side note I need to play psyker and get my melkbux for this week...

[wind spruce]

They should cast him as hermione

[wind spruce]

There was already a black magician in harry potter... the swaggily named Kingsley Shacklebolt 💀

[ashen edge]

Yeah, he knew that Dumbledore got style

[wind spruce]

May aswell call him Dwayne SlaveryMmmK or something

[kind jay]

i did software dev professionally for almost 10 years and i ended up hating it because of all the corporate bs. ive been slowly doing gamedev (as a hobby rather than professionally) and its refreshing learning to create stuff without being under someone elses thumb all the time

[patent hatch]

Hmmhmhm

[pale prairie]

Apparently there is no HR in the dark future

[kind jay]

HR is too scary even for 40k

[ripe obsidian]

Human resources? Is that what they call the Imperial Tithe on Atoma?

[kind jay]

no its Bradley from HR sending you a meeting request for friday at 4:30pm to discuss "barrel antics"

[ripe obsidian]

[stray shoal]

have they been giving us an additional character slot with every new class release?

[verbal thistle]

yeah

up to 8 iirc

[stray shoal]

awesome

[main crow]

While there’s that, there’s also the funny side effect of Harry being suspicious of the only black teacher being evil alongside his dad bullying said black teacher as a kid by hanging him from a tree as a prank.

[ripe obsidian]

Harry's dad was a piece of work, even discounting the potential racism element.

[main crow]

I’m sure the show will be fine tho in all honesty

Yea, it’ll just make the dad snape lily triangle even more problematic

That’s assuming the show doesn’t change anything though. Theoretically they could write things better

[ripe obsidian]

Writing better than Rowling is not a high bar.

[dim beacon]

it's because my psyker is a black man

that looks like a cyborg wizard

so the query came up on my mind!

[ashen edge]

I work in the automated test field and the amount of documentation is still too much imo. But partly because my company must comply with pharmaceutical manufacturing law

[cosmic cobalt]

, yeah because the casting is fucking stupid

[zealous wing]

they definitely should have thought the implications through

[cosmic cobalt]

there are better example of changing character race actually ended up make the media better like shawshank but this isn't one of them

💀

[pearl nest]

yall wanna see my psyker's fucked up build so far and hes level 20?

[zealous wing]

sure

[cosmic cobalt]

Damn

I think he should be killed

[pearl nest]

Damn ok

tbf i usually just use the loadout of: "please let this fucking work ;-;"

[zealous wing]

yeah bit too top heavy

you should be able to have a fully upgraded ability by lvl20

[pearl nest]

as i said

my only real hope is to let it work

[zealous wing]

you will be real tanky with toughness regen

and, anything WORKS by technicality

[pearl nest]

tanky? naw.

i may have 4 wounds but i die in .2 seconds.

let alone with toughness and HP

[kind jay]

i see mind in motion

build is perfect

[zealous wing]

smack things in melee, throw some assail, hit things in melee more (assail weaving)

youll get toughness from warp attack kills (assail), hitting things in melee, and toughness from melee kills (base function)

[pearl nest]

i mushed it all together

i honestly just want something balanced out

[zealous wing]

my berpsyker build in the pinned guides new psyker section has not failed me yet for talent placements in the psyker leveling processes

which, i've done a lot of testing with this

various methods vs this build, putting points in as you go, sticking to mainly melee, has served well as a backup when a different test causes undue struggle

[pearl nest]

whenever i look at the pre-builds i just feel wrong whenever i do for some reason.

[zealous wing]

basically, you should pick something, warp (assail), or melee, and follow that kind of pathway until you've got something more solid where you can branch out

[pearl nest]

....

that just makes it harder ;-;

[zealous wing]

you can have both, but when leveling its good to pick something you feel is strong and fun

[pearl nest]

das the problem i struggle to do that. a lot.

[zealous wing]

k, so, with assail, you would want soul stealer, while with melee, you want warp expendature.

soul stealer gives toughness on warp kill, which would be assail, or soulblaze, etc

warp expendature is toughness by smacking things with your sword

then just kinda wander downwards

if you use a slow weapon, like the greatsword, grabbing the attack speed is handy, while if you use a staff, and have perilous combustion, grab the fire talents in that section

if you use both, you can grab both, but prioritise whichever one you think you're using more

[pearl nest]

i use a mixture of melees

but sure okay

i also dont really focus on my staff

i focus more on my G ability

[long saddle]

they're more of a complement, fire and move on with the rest of your kit

[pearl nest]

alright i made a build

ability part first

seconadry bit

there's a skill point in the one that gives me a cleave boost based on peril

[zealous wing]

you dont need mind in motion, so you could grab the warp splitting for that if you like

[pearl nest]

which one was mind in motion?

[zealous wing]

center

[pearl nest]

thx

whats the warp splitting one?

[zealous wing]

center

[pearl nest]

i got warp splitting but i still have a spare skillpoint

i have a lot of focus on melee and my G ability

thats usually how i play psyker
