psyker-class

[fossil bridge]

I did have the feeling that 1-20 was just the tutorial and even in the 20’s I’m fighting for my life and it’s not even close to as difficult as it gets.

[cursive shell]

getting good with off meta builds?

[thorn cedar]

Making Reddit posts about the devs failing to cater their product correctly to me after 4,000hrs and how FatShark clearly sucks?

I already do off-meta.

[fossil bridge]

Penance hunting like me?

[thorn cedar]

meh, penances

[cursive shell]

actually my goal is to host my own 40s where I accept only people who aren't ready for it, just so they can see what it's like to die in 30 seconds

[thorn cedar]

I'll play H40 but exhaustively playing H40's just sounds like a great way to burn right out.

If I could casually host and matchmake H30's whenever I wanted to I'd be doing that.

[fossil bridge]

Engaging with penances is what got me really in to the game. Previously I’d been playing on and off since launch. Just a match or two on heresy or malice or sedition (when that still existed) and then just come back a few weeks later to do it again.

I’m a goal oriented type of player, playing just for playing and getting good wasn’t enough. Penances were the solution! And now I’ve got most of them done. Probably more than most.

[thorn cedar]

Ah yeah I am very much the opposite.

I'll do some cause they look fun or because they push me to try a different keystone/ability but I probably would've done that anyway without the Penance's suggestion.

I've been here since launch, clvl 1100 psyker, still haven't done the brain burst a monster penance.

[deft stump]

You mean, -0.3 sec.

[rich spindle]

Playing 40s with the lowest rank teammates you can find

[cursive shell]

I just want to invite those "why I never get accepted into havoc???" posters to a game so they can see what they're missing

rub their noses in it a little

[low merlin]

I LOVE HYPER-OFFENSE FLAME PSYKER!

[long saddle]

https://www.howtogeek.com/747755/how-to-right-click/

[low merlin]

I know how to do this.

[fossil bridge]

Which is strange to say. I’ve seen so many people happy to join low level havoc games. Easy penance progression!

[thorn cedar]

yea you THINK

[low merlin]

I really only use it when I'm not as pressured by the enemies.

Like my team is in front of me or near me so they can support me.

Or the enemies are staggered by VS.

[main crow]

You can use short bursts after you stagger them with the light attack, kills them faster while still keeping you safe

[zealous wing]

LMB is only slight stagger, RMb will stagger trash too while doing damage

LMB is for like, rager packs

or gunners, trappers, etc, things bigger than poxxers/groaners

THIS is aggressive inferno

[thorn cedar]

which one has the suppression again

left or right

[zealous wing]

just to give an ingame example

[zealous wing]

both, i think LMB is higher to make up for low dmg

[low merlin]

I haven't played this game in months.

That clip was from yesterday.

[thorn cedar]

right click might just be faster cause output

[cursive shell]

can't be bothered by enemies that are dead

[low merlin]

Still tryna get back into the flow.

[thorn cedar]

idk i dont use fire staff shit's boring

but yeah both buttons do have a purpose

[spiral minnow]

what is the basic cleave of force greatsword mk6? and what blessings and perks would u recommend?

[dire wharf]

@ripe obsidian @radiant frigate

[zealous wing]

special attack on both FGS marks has infinite cleave, not sure on the cleave base, i'd have to check

as for perks and blessings, unstable power is core, then go with shred, riposte, or deflector based on preference, generally. perks are carapace / unyielding

[spiral minnow]

trying meleeker, kinda fun so far, played flame staff so far spamming light attacks, when i last played psyker, but the GS buils seems much more intense and fun .)

[thorn cedar]

shred/riposte+wrath/unstable really

[zealous wing]

wrath isnt needed 99.9% of the time

[thorn cedar]

deflector if you reeeaaaally want it but you're a psyker with access to empathic evasion so just swing instead

or shoot, or whatever

[thorn cedar]

it's needed whenever it's needed

im running a build with BCoB so no warp splitter and no unstable because i cant reliably maintain high perils to use it

[dire wharf]

Melee psyker is addicting

[thorn cedar]

therefore wrath

[spiral minnow]

was thinking about wrath, could get some great number if it got good base, which i suppose it has, just cant find how much .)

[thorn cedar]

yea i dont recall the numbers

wrath is indeed plenty tho

hell warp splitter is plenty if you can keep your peril high

[dire wharf]

Unstable power/shred is my favorite

[thorn cedar]

same

[radiant frigate]

i like unstable riposte

[thorn cedar]

disgusting

[radiant frigate]

i know

[thorn cedar]

you just admit something like that publicly?

[radiant frigate]

i'm into way freakier shit (i also like relic blade)

[thorn cedar]

man, i gotta use relic blade again

[radiant frigate]

fr

[thorn cedar]

or really just play zealot, its been a while

[radiant frigate]

it's peak

[thorn cedar]

watched a dude clutch a couple games ago with it and god what a dope weapon

[spiral minnow]

and how much crit would u take to ideally utilize Emphatic evasion?

got base + shred + aura + node so far

[thorn cedar]

thats plenty

37.5% iirc right there

its not quite about crit chance but crit chance in a one second window

so factor in attack speed and the weapon itself

[spiral minnow]

right, jsut need to cleave a little to get more chances .)

gs is not fastest AS

[thorn cedar]

crit is rolled on the swing so cleave doesnt factor in

[spiral minnow]

crap xD

living in a lie .)

[thorn cedar]

if you're doing meleeker you can take Scrier's Gaze, that's another 20% on top

at least in the active duration

[dire wharf]

Relic blade, IMO, is the best sounding weapon in darktide

[fathom adder]

Nothing will top old eviscerator for sound

[thorn cedar]

idk relic blade is uh, pretty fucken cool

i am a big fan of chaxe as well

[spiral minnow]

btw i used some build from the word document, that fine? or i could do better? .)

[thorn cedar]

I would not use By Crack of Bone. It's somewhat anti-synergistic.

Neither Assail nor the Warp Slice have a high peril floor, you can cast and use them at 99.999% peril and not explode. So there isn't a big need to keep your Peril super low.

It does help with Sciers Gaze uptime but it also means Warp Splitter and Warp Rider will do less.

Alternatively you can keep BCoB and drop Warp Splitter and Warp Rider I suppose.

[fossil bridge]

Yes.

All of the crit.

[spiral minnow]

it felt antisynergeting, true, but it helps scriers, so should i rather use something different then SG and this talent?

i will try it without it tho, had the feel it could help more to keep my peril high for melee bonuses

[thorn cedar]

Scrier's Gaze has a built in function where if you are killing then the ramp up is slowed.

So if you are killing A LOT you can almost pause it.

[spiral minnow]

true, but with this, u can even remove the % buildup xDD

[thorn cedar]

I'm a big fan of either Immaterial Focus or Just a Dream.

As far as where to put that one extra point.

yea its just like, too much quelling.

I still wish BCoB was reworked to do even less active quelling on kill and instead did more peril cost reduction

I'm happy they nerfed it down from 20% though, it was literally too fucken much

[ripe obsidian]

Spamming LMB on firestick is the actual weakest way to play the weapon.

[thorn cedar]

If its so weak then why is there a macro mod to do it?
check mate

[spiral minnow]

it carried my noob ass pretty far .) stagger powa

[ripe obsidian]

Weakest way to play the weapon. I phrased it intentionally.

If you just want stagger, use Trauma.

LMB spam Inferno gives up AoE and damage for a mediocre stagger

[ripe obsidian]

Because spamming LMB and relying on stagger is easier than positioning well and burninating things properly

[pale prairie]

It’s cool but it IS FUNNY to see a relic blade zealot into bulwark packs

TING TING TING CLANG TING

[thorn cedar]

lmao

took zero damage til i hit the ascension riser

warp slice hits a barrel, i dont notice it

i sprint up

fucken send my own ass flying off the map

well, just before it anyway

"how did u do so much more damage smiting less than me"

truly a mystery

[zealous wing]

smykers everywhere baffled

bamboozled even

[cursive shell]

when I see a smyker I immediately treat the mission like a speedrun, trigger as many bosses as I can before running back to the group

smoke check!

[thorn cedar]

i dont like

speed run necessarily

but i think it is okay to assume that whatever it is youre smyking, you have handled

if you dont then i gotta wonder why you arent mixing it up to save your own ass yknow?

cause dont get me wrong, when a blob of ragers, bulwarks, crushers, and maulers that live inbetween the legs of crushers just to come out and overhead you show up, and the smyker is smyking all of them, im ok with that

i am gonna help u out with that one

[cursive shell]

the other day I was warming up with my bully club ogryn on an auric maelstrom with enhanced monstrosities when I noticed one of the dudes was a smyker. proceeded to hit mach fuck and pull the whole house down on us lol

[ripe obsidian]

I feel the same with FGS into bulwarks. I'll open one with EK RMB or a push attack, but then another walks forward and blocks me from hitting the open I opened

[rich spindle]

Can you hit them fast enough with fgs

I never can

[long saddle]

I find it easier to just time the strikedown with them swinging at me, I'll force push if there's a ton at me tho

[radiant frigate]

i usually just snipe their shoulders from the side

[pale prairie]

Yeah when you open one shield but another shield clips through to protect them…..MMMMMM THIS IS EXCELLENT FATSHARK

[ripe obsidian]

If I open them with a push attack? Sometimes. Not reliably. I often end up just kiting and using EK RMBs to slowly whittle them down

[rich spindle]

I keep forgetting push attack can open them

I lowkey do t want to

Trying to sneak in a stab is more fun

[cosmic sigil]

playink relic blade zealot makes me sad after playing fgs meleeker

[dire wharf]

How come

[cosmic sigil]

It feels like everything requires the double amount of hits to die

[royal falcon]

double the hitting

[pale prairie]

No DD

[rich spindle]

What mk r u using

[little coyote]

Finally finished the stupid af penance.

Imagine having to bother a friend so you can brain burst a boss. This penance can easily happen naturally in-game but they decided it needed to be gate kept?

[zealous wing]

because it used to be 100% its hp, in public games, and people kept losing their shit over people dmging the monstrosities

[little coyote]

100%, jfc. That would be almost impossible, you'd have to either have 3 friends or kill off the bots and hope a boss appears.

[zealous wing]

yup

[little coyote]

Also hope that NOTHING else accidentally damages it, not a barrel, not a pox burster, nothing.

[zealous wing]

now its technically doable in pubs ... but, if you have the time to bb a monstrosity in pubs, either the pubs are being nice, or are all dead /quit, if it werent private game

[little coyote]

With the 50% change they could easily put it back in. Hersey pubs are often braindead and you'd surprised how often I've had to solo something. Also expeditions it's not uncommon to split up.

[zealous wing]

have you seen how fast tox shreds monsters, or a psyker who knows even kinda what theyre doing with an FGS or uncanny stacking, or an arbys dog alone, etc

ive had my dog just passively do enough dmg it fucked someones penance over, by accident

(we did run again with me on tauntgryn to make up for it)

wasnt even tagged

[little coyote]

Thing is, if they're worried about people malding over penances. It already happens. I often blow myself up when entering a sancuary in expeditions so someone can pick up my tech and I've legit watched people rage in chat over who picked it up first.

[zealous wing]

thing is theyre not really worried

if people whine enough, they do something to attempt to shut people up

thats really it.

and its often monkeys paw

[pale prairie]

No u

[manic halo]

whats the purg staff build everyones running?

[ripe obsidian]

I have some builds in the pinned guide

Purg + Shriek is the better option as compared with bubble

[wary vessel]

Hello lovelies is corruption resistance good or just a flex stat on curios

[ripe obsidian]

It's fine.

It's not my first choice, but it's not a troll pick

[wary vessel]

Ok so it's kinda a flex slot

Also

Should I level up this sword or this one

[ripe obsidian]

the one with 61% WR is better

[wary vessel]

Asking before i dump a bunch of resources

[wary vessel]

Oh is it cause the resistance is low?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, warp resist is the dump stat for force swords

Ideally 60% or lower Warp Resist and 80% in everything else

[wary vessel]

Oh i see so i rolled a near perfect roll?

[ripe obsidian]

Aye, pretty close

[wary vessel]

Cause 80 on everything except finesse cause warp resistance took 1 from it lol

[neon laurel]

Oh I feel naked without my bubble!

[thorn cedar]

you get used to it

[ripe obsidian]

I need to share this psyker build I see in an H40 group.

aaaand discord ate the images

aggravating.

anyway, here are the weapons

also 2 wound curios, so I assume they're using the endless headsplosion build? But with melee?

[wary vessel]

It's so hard to live😭

Can i be enlightened on what i should have done instead? 😭

[crisp ether]

Should have went down the stairs and let the melee units funnel to you.

You stood in front of the door for too long and let the fodder guns chip you which made you take more health damage than needed.

Positioning is one of the most important skills in this game. And that right there is a prime example of why.

[frail oar]

Running directly at a gunner targeting you generally isnt advisable

[crisp ether]

Possible with sliding. But standing still in front of the doorway I think is what really messed this clip up

They wouldn't have been downed by the bruiser if they didn't take chip from the gunners beyond the doorway.

[wary vessel]

I thought sliding would have made ne not take as much damage 😭

Ok so make the melee units come to me, got it

Thanks everyone

And if you're wondering why my dumbass just ran at the enemy it's because i played zealot before psyker 😭

[buoyant maple]

assail, gun, sword warp slash, slide, sprint in a different angle

so many things u could have done differently

[wary vessel]

Idk what assail is lol

[buoyant maple]

ur 10 sharpened warp rocks

[fiery stratus]

Whats best on curios in havoc these days?

[wary vessel]

Ohhhh i see, i barley use them lol

[buoyant maple]

u should, assail is op (like most of psyker's kit)

[fiery stratus]

assail is really good for picking things off, but its also good for just spamming at gunner and rager groups. generally with the right build itll kill everything in a few shards

[pale prairie]

How do you guys deal with crushers or monstrosities with Venting Shriek EK?

[verbal thistle]

melee

[jovial juniper]

EK

[wind spruce]

Lots of things went wrong at once but one really important one is you completely ignored the whooshing sound of an enemy swinging at you from behind

You have to learn to almost subconsciously dodge or parry (or both) in reaction to this sound

[main crow]

What’s the good stuff for an EK staff anyways?

[cosmic sigil]

Mk2

And I know the combos..

[little coyote]

Quell speed or warp resist as a dump stat for a inferno staff? I tend to go with warp resistance since I often run more peril=more damage combined with gaze.

[long saddle]

warp res

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/dump-it-gif-26704933

[ripe obsidian]

I'll res your warp

[long saddle]

:O

[little coyote]

I love when I die because I am brain bursting a crusher or reaper or something and a random pox walker runs between him and me and the game is like. "OOOOOOH! I GOT YOU FAM! THAT'S THE TARGET RIGHT!? SWAPPING FOR YA!"*

[marble crater]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-urge-resist-cat-gif-25536160

[little coyote]

[long saddle]

this is why I have the targeting mod

so I don't target trash or bursters

the few times I do bring up manual BB

[hidden willow]

Does deflector allow you to block ranged attacks automatically while reviving an ally?

[cosmic sigil]

counter argument: he didn't take bubble smite

[cosmic sigil]

turns out I vastly prefer mk10

[crisp ether]

But have you ever ask how is bubble btw?

All the time

[wraith sphinx]

IT'S GAZE OR NOTHING

[cosmic sigil]

turns out doing this is a most fun I had in a while

with a cavalcade shredder

you can reach some stupid af speed

[zealous wing]

yes

warp speed goated

[cosmic sigil]

who needs to dodge when you can push and zoom away sonic style

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-3d-blast-3d-blast-3d-gif-2483163906317407726

[wind spruce]

No

[hoary mauve]

Sounds fun. I've seen a few psykers use that, but had no idea how/why.

[hoary mauve]

Snipers behind a trash horde is my pain point

[cosmic sigil]

as long as you crit (which is easy), kill some dd target (not difficult if you can reach them fast enough)

[zealous wing]

like so, nyooom

[hoary mauve]

So far usually for me, DD targets seem very far off

[wary vessel]

I don't use them much is cause the build im running lol my thingy goes down slowly, and I blew my mind using them lol

[cosmic sigil]

it's inconsistent and apparently broken since a few updates at least

so you're better off having a longer time before they decay

[summer prairie]

The main problem is that the next marked target is the one closest to the previous target. So if the first target is far away, it will keep marking far away targets even though there are valid targets next to you. You can look away from the far away target for a bit and force it to reselect a target closer to you.

but it's very consistent behavior

[hoary mauve]

Ahh okay

[summer prairie]

It kind of makes sense for it to work like that since in theory pure gunner/ranged builds prioritize far away targets, so you would want those to get marked

[hoary mauve]

I think my mistake is definitely also my positioning & remembering map spawn locations, my BB tends to lock on a trash mob, and I just panic blast with my recon lasgun towards the laser lol

[hoary mauve]

True

[thorn cedar]

At worst if you look away for a bit to have the mark reset you'll lose maybe one stack at 10s and two or three at 5s

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

so with higher fov, more targets possible?

[thorn cedar]

Oh shit

New meta dropped, horse blinders

[zealous wing]

[thorn cedar]

Pinhole Aperture Mod

[cosmic sigil]

I am going to test this

[rich spindle]

Haha wtf

@spice aurora

[cosmic sigil]

Is this in the code? Because this behavior is not referenced in Kuli's guide

Even though, reading you, it explains a lot of what is happening

[summer prairie]

I haven't bothered trying to parse the code for it since all the changes, but the behavior tracks

[patent hatch]

Thats why i love the revolver

Cleaves through half a hoarde

[patent hatch]

Thats why I dont lock on till its fully charged tbh

[zealous wing]

just be taller

[patent hatch]

If i ever use BB im using the pre charge thing

[patent hatch]

Become ogryn

[zealous wing]

specials are taller than trash mobs, and thusly, easier to hit if you can see over the trash mobs

and, if the sniper is crouching, most the time its elevated anyway

or, yknow, maybe the sniper is on your side

[hoary mauve]

Never knew that 😆

[summer prairie]

distance_check_position = last_unit_pos or player_position

[rigid sky]

Honestly I still think BB is like the best designed part of the Psyker kit, but that's probably just because I'm stupid

there's times to use both fire modes on it

[zealous wing]

BB is definitely the most user friendly, easiest to control, etc

assail is more complex but pretending its random gets enough people through the day

never understood people needing a mod to help them aim for specials with it tho

only time i grab a trash mob instead is if someone killed the target before i could and it recalibrates where im looking

[patent hatch]

Assail is lovely

I often find myself needing to get into a rhythm with it

But once I've got it im shredding hoarded

[kind jay]

yea he just doesnt chat much lol

not since the accident

[deft stump]

To be fair, the game looks good on minimum settings unlike some other games. Seems like it mostly affects minute detailing and likely distance stuff. But then again, all enemies are blobs of colour if too far.

Oh and lighting.

But if you have shadows off and such, lul.

[rich spindle]

Potato graphics are good for visual clarity

how does assail work with right click

does that like, charge it and do more damage

Do we think it's worth taking warp splitting with assail 🤔

Sure

It helps other things too

all these marked kill keystones need to function on anyone in the squad killing targets

Warpsplitting is nice on it and in my opinion means you don’t need the cleave subnode to get a lot of use out of each shard

[patent hatch]

Ok yes I do agree with it

tbh

[rich spindle]

Doesn’t proc much on fgs

[patent hatch]

it's really good if you build into the fgs with lots of crit a little more

but this is more of a

flame staff build

but I happen to have a fgs

[rich spindle]

Yeah

[patent hatch]

or thats what i looks like anyway

[rich spindle]

It’s a flame staff build

[patent hatch]

^^

[rich spindle]

No attack speed is brutal

[main crow]

Eh it’s just 10%

[patent hatch]

With the fgs that makes quite a diffrence

[main crow]

Yea, it’s more mainly using the FGS and just using the flame staff for problematic things like rager packs and shotgunner packs. Mainly because there’s no need for pure flame staff in like Auric and whatnot

[patent hatch]

espically when your chaining heavies

[patent hatch]

your build is pure flame staff tho 🤔

If you want to use fgs odd talent choice

[main crow]

I’ve noticed it just kinda works because vent gets you lots of warp kills and you’re riding high peril anyways for the bonus damage peril blessing anyways

Plus brain burst with kinetic flayer is always convenient

Not taking it into Havoc so

[pale prairie]

If you use staffmore than sword then get rid of warp expenditure. If you use sword more than staff than either warp ghost or Vulnerable minds.

Point of order if you are going hybrid I think wildfire is better because it will spread more fire to get more IFR procs and Souldrinker procs. You should be switching to FGS in every situation that you would spam LMB (besides you can still spam LMB for stagger without Empyric shock)

[rich spindle]

It works cus it’s auric and everything explodes in 0.001 sec 😂

[patent hatch]

Oh if it's just auri

Idk remove all your talents

might as well

but yes I would defo be dropping empathetic evasion

you don't really have enough crit to relibally proc it

malefic momentum is very tasty damage as well so

[main crow]

I’ll try dropping evasion then

Means I can pick up the cleave talent as well since I can drop empiric shock

[patent hatch]

I don't think you want the cleave

Cause you know

Flame staff

i mean it's still good

But flame staff just obliterates hoardes

[main crow]

Only breaking the staff out for specific things tbf tho

I’m slicing up hordes with funny sword and shriek mostly

[patent hatch]

oh

[pale prairie]

The horde staff with the horde sword?

[patent hatch]

🤔

yea xD

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

[main crow]

It’s fun

[patent hatch]

I normally run fgs with a revolver

[pale prairie]

So uh what do you do into packs of gunners and reapers? When can I see that clip?

[patent hatch]

xD

Die

[pale prairie]

Well with no EE

[main crow]

You can stagger lock gunners with the fgs special until you get close

Then slap them all

Or just shriek and fight things while in cover while they burn to death

[pale prairie]

Are you just spamming warp slice to generate peril?

[main crow]

[patent hatch]

But

[main crow]

Warp Ghost lets me stay at critical peril while I slice things

[patent hatch]

I don't really think you should ever be in a situation where you actually just want to spam it uncharged

[pale prairie]

Hey you know I am all for auric shenangans

[main crow]

You only need to spam 3 to get up to critical

[patent hatch]

Espically with a staff secondary

Ig

[pale prairie]

It’s the LMB Empyric inferno spam in havoc 40 that is breaking my will to live

[patent hatch]

im just used to FGS with

Scriers gaze

[pale prairie]

Cause it’s this thing called synergy

But fun exists too

[patent hatch]

just hopped into a auric malestrom on assail kiting

[main crow]

Shriek is pretty fun with fgs

[patent hatch]

Had 2 flame staff psykers

😭

[pale prairie]

Shriek is fun with everything

[patent hatch]

shriek is always fun, I just find its over kill

[rich spindle]

I haven’t seen a non inferno psyker in havoc in decades

[patent hatch]

cause your pairing the hoarde sword with the hoarde ability

with the hoarde st aff

[main crow]

Also great sword slash triggers kinetic flayer so sometimes I use uncharged ones to whack specials

[patent hatch]

yea same

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chapelle-speech-stfu-shut-the-fuck-off-gif-8955281

[patent hatch]

xD

I SAID ITS FUN

[main crow]

Fgs handles crushers just fine though

[pale prairie]

You can’t over burninate right @ripe obsidian ?

[rich spindle]

Flame staff has diminishing returns

[patent hatch]

why flame staff when can trauma

;-;

[main crow]

I should try trauma spam

[pale prairie]

Damn grandpa what was Darktide like on the old floppy disk Macintosh?

[patent hatch]

Imo it's basically just flame staff but more engaging

and safer

[main crow]

I’d be happy just flame staffing, but I know it can suck the fun out for other peeps below Havoc

[patent hatch]

but less overall raw DPS

[pale prairie]

Can LMB gunners

[rich spindle]

I miss when trauma was the meta before havoc

[patent hatch]

agreed

:(

You know what I havent seen in ages

EK

[main crow]

I guess I could slap Electro staff on instead if it’s decent enough into ragers/bulwarks/shotguns

[rich spindle]

It’s exceptional into those

better than inferno

[patent hatch]

yeah that's kind of what its made for

Inferno is just "nice pox walkers you have there"

goodbye

[pale prairie]

Red ragers

[rich spindle]

What is this red you speak of

[main crow]

Handles ragers nicely too tbf

[rich spindle]

Is that a type of rotten armor

[patent hatch]

It's not bad

against ragers

at all

but EK is just better

[main crow]

I’ll give it a shot

[rich spindle]

Put surge on it and use left click mainly

That’s the trick

[pale prairie]

Inferno is good against everything. You just need to kite and make sure to time shriek so that you OVERSTACK

[main crow]

Aww no zappy?

[patent hatch]

Oh you can still zappy

[rich spindle]

You can zappy if you want

[patent hatch]

Just the pew is quite good on EK

[rich spindle]

Left click is just like if revolver had infinite clip size tho

[patent hatch]

yep

It reminds me of

Fuck ass battle wizard

in VT

[main crow]

I’m more of a brrrrt guy and less of a revolver guy

[patent hatch]

same shit diffrent game

[patent hatch]

Go tazer then

The neat thing is you can just use both xD

[rich spindle]

Left click used to be pretty brrt b4 the recent attack speed fix

[pale prairie]

Lightningspeed my beloved

[patent hatch]

yeah it did

[pale prairie]

https://giphy.com/gifs/movie-godfather-the-l4FGGafcOHmrlQxG0

[patent hatch]

EK also just has an inherntly higher crit chance than the over staffs as well which just makes its pew da best

[rich spindle]

It’s pretty ridiculous

[patent hatch]

shit slaps

[rich spindle]

It can kill as many specials as plasma gun but no one uses it

Cus delete everything on screen fire staff exists

[patent hatch]

EK is the ultimate

secondary staff in my mind

cause it gives good special snipping

goode elite/armour damage

and clutch

IE stun an entire hoarde to res someone

if needed

[rich spindle]

The suppression is stupid too

[patent hatch]

yep

[autumn scarab]

what's the dump stat for voidstrike again

[wind spruce]

Blast radius

[rich spindle]

Typically ppl dump blast radius

[wind spruce]

Ek has bad armour damage

[rich spindle]

Flak seems ok

[patent hatch]

it's decent enough

like its not amazing

but it can work

i always see EK as jack of all trades

[wind spruce]

Is there any weapon that has bad flak damage?

Tons of weapons do more against flak

Doesnt really count as armoured enemies

[rich spindle]

Armor can be bad

[wind spruce]

Yeah but my point is that when we say armoured enemies or armour packs in darktide we're specifically talking about those enemies that are totally or partly armoured in carapace

Flak has nothing to do with it even if it is technically a type of armour

[fiery stratus]

whats good for curios in havoc these days?

[patent hatch]

3x toughness curio, 3x +5% tougness 3% gunner resist, +5% max health, x2 +4% ability regenetration

is what I personally run on like

90% of buiilds

[dusk timber]

ilas

[patent hatch]

🥺

true

[patent hatch]

smh wdym I have to use kinetic presence for a penance

ffs

fine

every build is temporarily swapping to that

[frozen spruce]

is Lclick spam electrokinetic staff still a viable build and if so anyone have good examples of one?

[patent hatch]

Im litterally just testing a build rn lol

[frozen spruce]

lmao

what blessings?

[patent hatch]

surge and warp nexus

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a1982392-f70b-4275-b654-63b6e9ddabc4/pew-pew-12

thats litterally what I threw together

10 minutes ago?

wether is very good or not, not quiet sure yet

But defo fun

Decided to spek into fire + venting combo for hoarde clear then forcesword for amrour

and then EK for anything else

[frozen spruce]

have you considered scriers and disrupt? since youll be going for weakspots anyways

[patent hatch]

yea I have, I just personally use it a lot on over builds so wanted to mix it up a little

feels like this could use a little bit of hoarde clear as well

[frozen spruce]

lmao its the opposite for me, my default is something like this normally but with electrokinetic rmb

[patent hatch]

my deafult is melee

or assail psyker

bitches love melee psyker, and bye bitches I mean me

[main crow]

What’s funny is I ran into another EK user on my first run using EK staff

[pale prairie]

very good. @ripe obsidian has a few pictures in here of getting like 2 million damage with it in havoc

[patent hatch]

Shit does indeed

go hard

Just checked it up against the pinned builds

basically nailed it first try lets go B)

[main crow]

Still getting good with the EK, manage to blow myself up once a round

[patent hatch]

Honeslty I find the EK is by far the easiest staff to blow yourself up with

the RMB is very

weird

then again

you shouldnt be using it much

Gonna try asail with my great sword build

[potent echo]

All roads lead towards FGS

[patent hatch]

Dam right they do

[frozen spruce]

laughs in my ek rmb spam build

[main crow]

Zaps are fun

[slim nimbus]

You do realize that fun is illegal

[wispy bay]

You know that being sadness is also illegal?

[main crow]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sheev-palpatine-unlimited-power-power-force-gif-5073064

[ripe obsidian]

Never enough fire.

[ripe obsidian]

Ye, is good. I use Scrier’s Gaze or Shriek depending on my mood. I think Shriek is better if you have good peril management. The SG version is more reliant on melee

[patent hatch]

How do we feel about bye crack of bone for melee psyker

Trying out some asail builds instead of KF, instantly noticed a little more peril issues and with the point to spare... why not?

is it just me or is warp ghost like

10000% upside and 0 downside at this point 🤔

Like im starting to have to make excuses to not take it instead of the vice versa

[wraith sphinx]

Great but only for meleeker, it's a nice counterbalance to just a dream

[patent hatch]

Not sure how I feel about it tbh

just a high intesity shock troop auric

By Crack of Bone felt really weird tbh, I would have times where I couldn't tell I have it. Then get one massive crit cleave and drop to 50% peril in a flash

Cause of like a massive cleave of pox walkers

im wandering if battle medetation might be better

well not better, but more comfy

on a better note, jesus christ I now love the shredder pistol

[long saddle]

I never run by crack of bone

[patent hatch]

.it was very jarring

to put it lightly

peril bar g oing like a roller coaster

[long saddle]

I would not run battle meditation or tranquility through slaughter either

peril = power

and defense

[sage pulsar]

I mean, personally I never really use stuff like by crack of bone or battle meditation, since some of Psyker's strongest perks rely on you having high peril. Plus, peril control is quite a vital skill to learn.

[long saddle]

yeah

which is what makes warp ghost so good

like some ppl might view peril as a magazine you need to reload, when it's more like a fluid container that you top off for best performance

[patent hatch]

Yeaaa

way to incosistent

almost like my team mates

[frozen spruce]

why does everyone seem to bring warp siphon instead of disrupt destiny on lmb EK spam builds?

[mental rock]

Idk they probably want to use their ability more

[icy breach]

Cause EK lmb spam build is a meme/macro shitter build & ability is stronger than that

[dire wharf]

Yes, yes!

https://tenor.com/view/sickos-sicko-haha-yes-creeper-gif-25057805

[cosmic sigil]

If I had one or two more point I would put it in quietude, just to benefit more that flux of peril

I'd rather go high peril fast and stay in it longer and refresh SG from time to time than trying to make that ult goes on forever

[pale prairie]

If I had an extra point I would get warpspeed for zoomies

[kind jay]

if i had an extra point i would get mind in motion

[thorn cedar]

based

but what if .... you did have that extra point inside u all along

[kind jay]

kinda hot tbh

definitely makes my peril rise.

[patent hatch]

cause more ability is more good, if your using venting shriek your probally rellaying in that for your main source of hoarde clear

so you want it up constantly

[ripe obsidian]

Shrieking more often, you say

[cosmic sigil]

Already took it 😄

[patent hatch]

ofc

me when we fail a havoc someone goes "Ok we need smite and shield otherwise I leave"

;-;

ok then

[cosmic cobalt]

who the fuck use smite in havoc

[radiant frigate]

bullied psykers

[patent hatch]

not me lol

Im not using that shit

[fallen pier]

Hiya do we have an updated Psyker compendium? just reinstalled

[radiant frigate]

consult the pins

[patent hatch]

should be a big list of builds pinned

But you could also

buy a greatsword

and call it a day

:3

[radiant frigate]

true but also

[fallen pier]

is it just the first pin?

the build bonanza

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[fallen pier]

thanks

[ripe obsidian]

Tbh yeah. I had someone the other day complain about no shield when they went down to... a mauler.

[ripe obsidian]

It is bonanzful

[fallen pier]

thaaanks

[deft stump]

I don't complain no shield when 300 ping gunners are scarier.

You die before you even know you are being shot at.

[patent hatch]

yes but its boring as fuck

got a EK right button spamming/smite shield psyker making my havoc game become really dulll

how can I melee the enemies if you keep freeezing them in the middle of now where

[ripe obsidian]

Like this

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

Step 1

[patent hatch]

Ok then

not sure how to feel about that one

[royal falcon]

is walking up to them not an option

[patent hatch]

20 billion gunners

[royal falcon]

just live

[patent hatch]

true my bad

[royal falcon]

wait a minute this is psyker class just block the bullets

[main crow]

My favorite is when they freeze all the enemies out in the open, so everyone runs out to kill them only to get gunned down by gunners

[royal falcon]

hadn't considered that actually

[patent hatch]

that's what I was trying to avoid xD

[royal falcon]

not playing havoc

[main crow]

Eh, even in Auric and Damnation that can happen. Just needs reapers or whatnot

[royal falcon]

I don't really have that issue in those diffs
then again I play counterfire exec stance recon lasgun veteran so killing them is like
my whole job

[main crow]

Fatshark should just delete smite 🙏

[royal falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

replace smite with big ball of warp

spirit bomb of warp

voidstrike staff shot dead in the streets of tertium

[frail oar]

Lightning grenade plz

[patent hatch]

don't even replace iot

just delete it smh

[pale prairie]

Ah yes why knife is not my favorite melee weapon. (I do use it on inferno though)

[patent hatch]

its not my fav either just funny watching the mutie throw me into a sniper shot

xD

[pale prairie]

This is a Darktide classic

Next on the bucket list is being caught by another mutie before you can even land

[pulsar cedar]

@bleak locust psykaa

mmm yummy bullets

[bleak locust]

https://tenor.com/view/adams-basketball-shooting-shot-gif-16857071

The gunner

[pale prairie]

Nah the gunner was hitting every shot

[pulsar cedar]

this one trick makes u fuckign inbincibel

[pale prairie]

False that one trick….with the 4 other sources of damage reduction…..oh also the toughness over time

[pulsar cedar]

i don't think i have all of those selected, i need to check

i love melee psyker

[pale prairie]

Immaterial focus, one with the warp, white 10% TDR node, warp expenditure, Scriers gaze giving 20% TDR and more toughness per second

[deft stump]

This is what I give to ppl who wanna start meleeker. Just take all the tankiness and beeg sword.

[pale prairie]

Yep it’s easy as fuck

[deft stump]

Beeg sword on like malice/heresy just mulch anyway.

[pale prairie]

Mulch horde but learn how not to die to trapper and dog

[deft stump]

That's fine.

I see 3 trappers at the same time on malice nowadays.

They'll learn FAST.

[pale prairie]

Exactly

[deft stump]

Dunno what Fatshark did...

But 3 trappers, 4 dogs, 2 muties all running at the same time on malice.

Was like, WTF. And that's on top of 3 reapers, 4 crushers and some maulers and ragers.

I think Fatshark's expedition code is leaking everywhere.

[pale prairie]

They got rid of sedition

[long saddle]

but sedition will continue to live... in your heart

[pale prairie]

In the skill levels I see along the way

[ripe obsidian]

What difficulty is this?

[pulsar cedar]

just damnation lol, i like sending her clips because she hates psyker!!

[fresh panther]

Sedition

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, a single gunner shooting me for that long in Havoc, even with every damage reduction node, would absolutely shred me before I got close.

It would be a slaughter

[pulsar cedar]

i wasn't trying to make a claim that i was playing on like h40 or whatever, it was just a dumb clip

i'll make sure to exclusively post auric maelstrom footage at least from now on! i swear!!

[ripe obsidian]

Havoc 50 or get banned.

[pale prairie]

Not even gunner try the regular fucking shooters that ignore the resistance curio

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, the basic shooters are a menace. What killed me most this past week was shotgunners blasting me from spawning doors.

Like, 2-3 overlapping, shooting me at the same time.

[pale prairie]

Yeah I was testing out Paul Ogryn builds and a pack of shotgunners ruined my day

Was with a nice group but they just could not be bothered to pick up anybody

I think they maybe revived 1 time in 25 min

Just ignored psyker and my one down to attack dregs

[ripe obsidian]

Ugh, I feel that

Then sometimes they greed for the revive and you all die anyway

[dire wharf]

How could you hate psyker

[low lynx]

Because it's hard to learn and get good at

[pale prairie]

Oh man they were so unselfish for revives I basically spent more time watching them wait till every last specialist was dead before rescuing

[main crow]

As long as you’re killing and have high peril, you’re pretty tanky

[ripe obsidian]

@rocky stream

https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1srsz4v/footage_of_psyker_with_the_fastest_melee_ive_ever/

You're famous again.

[ripe obsidian]

Potentially the right choice. Nothing feels worse than watching a game over screen because you or your team botched the revive.

[royal falcon]

immaculate gaming chair

[pale prairie]

It ended in a loss anyway. Turns out the game is harder with half the team down

[ripe obsidian]

Usually, yeah.

It's honestly amazing the difference one player can make. Had a group earlier this week where one person was... struggling a lot. We couldn't even get past the mid event. He left, got someone else, and we won first try with relatively little difficulty.

[pale prairie]

Hahahaha yeah it’s insane how the runs can completely change

[frail oar]

Knowing when its ok to pick someone up in the middle of chaos is one of my markers for a high skill player.

So many people will let a netted person die in fire rather than take the 30 damage to pick them up.

And then the snowball of failure starts

[royal falcon]

knowing when it's ok? boring
we let that shit ride on my stamina meter

[fossil bridge]

I get more annoyed when they waste time killing the trapper who is slowly standing there reloading rather than immediately free the person.

[frail oar]

Thats basic action priority tbh. Rez first kill later 90% of the time. Like unless you know enough time has passed and she reloaded you pick them up.

[royal falcon]

I mean the trapper is right there

[icy breach]

She won’t do shit
Get the man up first then kill her

[deft stump]

Is just most games teach you to kill first then pick up in most games. You get punished for not doing so harder. Most are likely just carrying that over.

[icy breach]

You have no idea how many times i got my blood boiled cause bozo goes for killing her and i’m still vurnerable

[fossil bridge]

Yes.

[ripe obsidian]

Unless the trapper bugs and has an instant reload.

I have seen it happen. I think it might have to do with a light stagger causing a reset or summat.

[icy breach]

Ye its due to stagger

[ripe obsidian]

I always love the gamble of, "Trapper is shooting. If I kill her, will the net despawn before it hits me?"

It's my second favorite game behind, "Will my flat shield block the net?"

[fathom adder]

"How will my current lag affect the time between the sound cue and the net firing?"

[royal falcon]

shooting the trapper before she gets a chance to do anything:

[frail oar]

Will the fact that I am around the corner prevent me from being netted? Nahhh

[ripe obsidian]

I got dogged through a wall in a game the other night. It was sad.

[frail oar]

Dogs have overtaken trappers and bursters as my least favorite jank. Getting a hit marker meleeing/pushing them and they are still humping me. S E E T H I N G.

[royal falcon]

seriously how the hell do you guys be having these problems

[frail oar]

When you play enough you come to understand how interactions should play out. When they don't that creates frustration.

[icy breach]

You haven’t played enough then to see some proper jank yet

[fathom adder]

For me it's still bursters, their behavior (especially around doors) will never be consistent, which is extra annoying considering how hard they punish if you (or potentially a teammate) does something wrong

Dogs are spasmodic and horseshit if the connection is poor, but so is basically everything

[icy breach]

Dogs are not a problem… the problem is long standing up animation after being freed

That gets you killed

Not the dog

[long saddle]

yeah it's like chargers slamming you in fire

[icy breach]

So… its poor animation and not the special that is bad

[icy breach]

Thats cause they managed to travel 5m without any obstructions after grabbing you

[long saddle]

I know how they work

[icy breach]

If they can’t they always throw you immediately

[long saddle]

just that they're usually not the danger, it's where you end up

[fathom adder]

tfw mutants/spawn aren't supposed to be able to throw you outside the map but occasionally do it anyway

[long saddle]

rarely gotten it to clear railings at least

[frail oar]

Silo cluster has some weird spots by the stairs you can get stuck in

[long saddle]

start of power matrix has some spots where you can just walk off to your death, no ledge grabbing

[fathom adder]

In the jail cell portion of Magistratum Oubliette you can be thrown to the central building where players can't access but enemy shooters can spawn

[long saddle]

yeah out of bounds throws are always interesting

the brick mortis trials map has a lot of places where you can get thrown to where the only out is death below

[pale prairie]

In Ogryn game I got netted through a flat shield

[royal falcon]

how long is long enough

[long saddle]

how about 3+ ones?

[ripe obsidian]

Flat shields are proof that the Seer's Beloved is a Tzeentchian demon. It enjoys trolling us.

[pale prairie]

When I don’t feel like gatekeeping apparently

[pale prairie]

I despair at how many of these bugs seem to be uuuuh part of the game at this point

[ripe obsidian]

We are the masochists crawling back for more abuse.

Fatshark won't fix things, and we know it, but we put thousands of hours in anyway.

[low lynx]

Problem is I blow myself up

[long saddle]

something to works towards

but even the best players blow up every now and then

[icy breach]

Tbh; hard to tell but high density usualy gets you the results so havoc… endgame havoc
I have like +3,7k hours & keep seeing jank even now cause game engine can’t keep up

[ripe obsidian]

Maybe Dorktide 2 will have a better engine. Though I have heard, secondhand, that Fatshark is sick of making -tide games and want to move to different projects.

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

[royal falcon]

fatsharktide

[frail oar]

Bug? You mean feature.

[main crow]

Fatshark: “let’s try making some new stuff, we’ll just add it as game modes to Darktide”

proceeds to not know how to make basic game formulas good.

[ripe obsidian]

"Our players are asking for new maps and weapons that take advantage of the pacing and melee/close-quarters combat mechanics our game does well. How about we make a game mode that encourages long-range engagements, punishes melee users, and has no reasonable pacing to speak of?"

[long saddle]

"oh and we'll make bombers insanely OP by not requiring a modicum of line of sight against any and all places of interest"

[radiant frigate]

realistically i think this mode discourages any and all engagements

[long saddle]

ye idt roaming was the hype they thought it was

they did make enemies less accurate when you were in a dust vortex at least

[fathom adder]

As much as I hate bombers, it still feels wrong to require enemies have line of sight to use grenades

[long saddle]

yeah but they're at least limited in majority of maps

[rich spindle]

They’re broken rn right

The only do close range underhand

[fathom adder]

No idea

[ripe obsidian]

I was honestly hoping for an extraction shooter game mode, but... I wanted it to be in a hive or in a space hulk or something. Not wide-open spaces.

[long saddle]

half-destroyed ship with a timer that blows you the fuck up

or creates a wall of fire from one side of the map to the other

[fathom adder]

Lots of things Fatshark does makes me think the management is part of a cargo cult, copying things from successful games without knowing why they work

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, something like that. It would have been cool. But more than anything, I just want more regular maps.

[long saddle]

yeah I think they need to get back in to just normal additions

maps and weapons

[fathom adder]

"What's the big thing now? Helldivers?"

"Add an open world game mode!"

[long saddle]

realistically we'll get one more expeditions tile so they can give us that red expeditions armor

[ripe obsidian]

Just like they gave us the red Arby armor?

[dusky crag]

Probably in September

[long saddle]

story together with dlc class in june?

[dusky crag]

No clue for that

they can't do a campaign again ll

[deft stump]

They still throw from half the map away from what I can see.

[fossil bridge]

They’re even worse in expeditions. Missed their chance to be in the NFL because they throw absolute dimes like Brady in his prime.

[long saddle]

ye that was what we were talking about

[ripe obsidian]

We can dream.

[long saddle]

don't tell me it's Just a Dream™

[ripe obsidian]

It is, and we'll overload on peril from disappointment

[dusky crag]

I could see htem dropping a map in June

No music leaks though

no wuh.mp3

this was no mans land

[frail oar]

when I get trapped and the bomb lands right under me as I lose momentum.

When they described Dorktide as a live service game, I naïvely hoped for new maps like once a quarter.

[dusky crag]

they said it was "like a live service" which I think just meant quartly updates

they never said it was a live service tbf

semantics etc

[frail oar]

Live service means were actively working to finish the game you purchased

[ripe obsidian]

They also said they'd never allow weapon customization because this isn't Call of Duty, which was always a strange take in a game where Tech Priests exist as the primary crafting system.

In reality, I just think Fatshark struggles with direction and management.

[dusky crag]

The whole "this isn't cod" thing was unfortunately a classic case of hedge feeding the trolls

which he tended to do

[ripe obsidian]

Yes, he did.

I just wish the game got regular updates of maps and weapons instead of new game modes and classes.

[dusky crag]

I'll take the classes but new maps 100%

maybe we'll get some new weapons in June that'd be nice

we'll see!

skulls has exactly 1 leak

[frail oar]

Its like they know what works but choose to pivot to bullshit

[ripe obsidian]

Wowzers, a portrait frame?!

[dusky crag]

Well that's for the event

Probably 500 aquilas too

[ripe obsidian]

I do not think I have ever enjoyed a game so much while feeling such frustration with the creators as I do with Dorktide.

[dusky crag]

A long time ago I realised the time will pass but darktide will remain

No point getting upset or angry. I'll always criticise FS when needed of course but I'm here to have fun at the end of the day

You'll also like darktide more (or any PvE game) when you have a pvp one too

Now deadlock.

[long saddle]

I'm too old for pvp

[ripe obsidian]

I quit playing PvP games in my mid-20s. I got toxic.

[long saddle]

last pvp game I played was battlefield 1

so 10 years ago p much

[ripe obsidian]

I used to play stuff like League and TF2, but I would get so frustrated at the games. It was an addiction, and I was miserable.

[long saddle]

I was never that, I just didn't have many friends at uni that played

which is when I transitioned from xbox to pc

got in to warframe instead which I was stuck on until I started playing darktide

now I have no real desire to play warframe

and haven't played in over a year

[ripe obsidian]

I started on PC in late middle school, I think. Not counting Runescape. My first real PC game was... Morrowind? I think.

[long saddle]

I've had computers to play on since I was uh

4?

[frail oar]

How old are you two if you don't mind my asking

[long saddle]

33

[ripe obsidian]

I was 99% handhelds for most of my childhood

I am 32, but I feel a lot older.

My first game ever was either Pokémon Red or LoZ: Link's Awakening

[long saddle]

my hairline feels older

I was also mostly gameboy with pokemon until ps2

[ripe obsidian]

Same. Got a PS2 for my 9th or 10th birthday. Came with Kingdom Hearts.

Other kids in elementary school teased me for playing a game with "heart" in the title, because that obviously means it's for girls.

[zealous wing]

kek

[ripe obsidian]

I started graying around when I turned 30. I don't get carded anymore.

[zealous wing]

kids are such assholes

[ripe obsidian]

And I have a bad knee. I'm ancient.

[ripe obsidian]

Kids are assholes, yes. But joke's on them, I was the kid in the after-school program with the Gameboy link cable. I controlled the flow of Pokémon trades.

[long saddle]

my hairline started to recede 10 years ago

but I have good beard game at least

[ripe obsidian]

I was 99% handhelds for most of my childhood

Facial hair is not a thing I am blessed with

Rude of Discord to double-send that message.

[frail oar]

Oh man I am still the elder at 37 🙁

[ripe obsidian]

But yeah, I grow a scruffy scraggle that looks worse than some kids had in my high school.

When I was in my early 20s, I didn't shave because the "beard" made people not treat me like I was 12. Had a baby face through most of my 20s

[ripe obsidian]

Fwiw, this discord tends to trend older than most gaming spaces. Not sure if it's a 40k thing or something else.

[royal falcon]

I don't think the young'uns are really getting into warhammer like that

[frail oar]

Yea i got that vibe wasn't sure just how old

[long saddle]

exactly the same lol

[ripe obsidian]

Good job. You made Our Beloved proud.

[royal falcon]

[main crow]

I named my Arbites dog Sixseven

[royal falcon]

its scum...

[pale prairie]

For every clip of flight there is a clip of disappearing off the map

[ripe obsidian]

Everything looks unbalanced at the hands of Ainz.

[rich spindle]

lol were you trying to make it to the ledge

[verbal thistle]
