psyker-class

[jovial juniper]

It just happens that bon likes to spawn at the worst possible place/situation

[verbal thistle]

yeah

they are easy

just annoying

the only time I died to those 2 were memes

I got ledges at the start to ogryn when I was joking

and burgle ate me when I gave up and a burster hit me inside

[rancid geyser]

unironically I feel like C.Spawn is easier than both of these

delete the flesh bag on the spot no hesi

Plogryn always manages to toss me at least onces and get me in a bad spot

and Beast of Nurgle is just annoying

always and forver annoying

[cold ivy]

does rotten armor infested override (in the upcoming patch) mean soulblaze will use infested ADMs instead of carapace against e.g. rotten crushers? i have no idea what the override actually means

[rancid geyser]

that sounds about right

it will change their armour type to infested -- is the assumption from the post

[cosmic cobalt]

that would be huge

[rancid geyser]

If that's how it works I might even make an extra copy of certain weapons specifically for that.

[cosmic cobalt]

reminder that this only count base armor

they still have carapace part

like how scab rager body is carapace but their base armor is flak

[hidden willow]

its also possible that they dont change the base armor type and just change the chest/head armor to infested

curious to see what exactly they do with it though

[cosmic cobalt]

that would make rotten armor actually piss easy because all weapon have good infested adm

[lethal plover]

Deflector doesn't deflect snipers right?

[deft stump]

You still die, if that's what you are asking.

[cosmic cobalt]

deflector is ass

[deft stump]

I think only oggy slab plant blocks them.

[cosmic cobalt]

oggy slab block everything but explosion and grab

[rancid geyser]

Nah deflector is actually decent when boxing with nonsters

[cosmic cobalt]

monster doesn't have ranged attack

💀

[rancid geyser]

Deflector decreases block cost...

On top of blocking ranged attacks....

[cosmic cobalt]

if you're confused with kinetic deflection then warp ghost is easier to get on staff build and you have 1 more talent point

yeah except you didn't need that since you can just use movement

blocking ranged attack is not that good

[rancid geyser]

Nah, sometimes movement is not enough to avoid damage

[cosmic cobalt]

especially since it mean not taking superiority

but well uncanny nerf soon

so ig you can get deflector

[rancid geyser]

Deflector is more than fine.
Melee weapons only really need 1 damage blessing. Especially the force swords

[deft stump]

Pretty hard to move rescuing people.

Sometimes, you just have one chance.

[rancid geyser]

^

[deft stump]

You miss it, you need to solo to next point which might be after an event.

Soloing events can be really hard if you aren't literally the top 0.01% of players.

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean sure but I'm one of the people who would like to prevent that in the first place

[rancid geyser]

You could try to prevent something all you want. That doesn't ensure that a bad situation like that won't arise

Contingency at a small cost

[cosmic cobalt]

talking about current aka before patch meta deflector is just a massive opportunity cost over uncanny or superiority

[rancid geyser]

There are times where a C.spawn can pack you into a wall and that extra block cost reduction is the difference between you getting blown up by the C.Spawn or ranged enemies

It's different opportunity cost but juxtaposing defense vs offense isn't really a good comparison

Having more damage doesn't mean you'll get to use it when shafted, posted up on a wall like some corner rat in Tertium

🙂

[cosmic cobalt]

I mean 37.5% permanent strength boost is uh

[rancid geyser]

Damage isn't everything

Bad mindset

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah but when its 137.5% of your damage + more + calculated before other modifier it changes thing innit

plus psyker already got tons of defensive talent from the rework + warp ghost

[rancid geyser]

1 only that much of your damage if focused on melee

[rancid geyser]

2 this is the same for damage

[cosmic cobalt]

it's affect dot

[rancid geyser]

Between, MM,CF, SG ,DD, WS, ER, WR, VM and PoTS there is too much damage to be acting like this

Cool that it affects dots but just because things can affect something that is blatantly overpowered, does not mean other things in the game are just "bad"

[kind jay]

they both have their pros and cons. more damage is great in general, but your damage is 0 if youre dead. deflector lets you do some things that can be a run saver (block 40 gunners, bosses, rez in the middle of 40 ragers, reposition, etc)

but you kill a bit slower. neither is good 100% of the time. thats the fun of it

[rancid geyser]

Killing slower is fine if it means you make it through an encounter. It's why builds don't go all out on damage even when they could

[lethal plover]

Dueling sword might be meta
But force greatsword air slash is

[deft stump]

Meta is never DS lul.

You used to go fs for ranged uncanny.

Ranged guaranteed uncanny.

If melee, FGS is meta.

[plucky flax]

Flurry blaze trauma with gaze

[lethal plover]

Speaking of FGS, how about one handed force swords

Seems like mobility is better
Which would be better for a staff psyker

[wind spruce]

Is fun

[deft stump]

Deimos or Obscurus. IDK after next week.

[lethal plover]

Probably deimos for at least coping with crushers

[potent echo]

blog

huh we got like base kit uncanny SB

[earnest furnace]

i see people using the MkVI FGS over the MkVIII FGS, is it personal or is there something im missing? im a fan of the MkVIII

[lethal plover]

Which one has a heavy stab

[earnest furnace]

they both have a heavy stab i think, but on the MkVIII its a shove followup

[lethal plover]

I don't remember the number but I use the one that kills crushers faster

[earnest furnace]

the MkVIII has the really wide swings. the MkVI has smaller swings with stabs

[lethal plover]

Usually the wide swinger sacrifices single target damage

[earnest furnace]

i can still one-two shot crushers with it. granted i need to stack up DD but i figure thats a given

[lethal plover]

Melee build then. I'm mostly doing bubble build since people need bubble a lot

[earnest furnace]

i used to be double build too, but then i picked up a bolter and ive been melee ever since

[lethal plover]

bolter psyker

[earnest furnace]

ok i know it doesnt make sense me finding the bolt pistol made me a melee class but hear me out

the boltpistol has beeg fucking boolets, and it has enough damage to almost guarantee a kill on anything smaller than a weaker than a rager. with DD i can delete any enemy with the bolter instantly and switch back right away, switching between fgs and bolter

ALSO, boltpistol's big bullets makes hitting weakspots really really easy, so even in the heat of melee i can get weakspot hits and get double stacks on DD

[lethal plover]

So it's like a revolver

[earnest furnace]

yhea, but the bolter has better stagger, and the stagger aoe can knock over the specialists while i focus on the mobs with melee

shoot & forget

i guess

[lethal plover]

I mean
Doesn't voidstrike also work

[deft stump]

Mk6 is the DPS king. Heavy spam.

Basically on things that matter.

[plucky flax]

Mk6 has better sustain single target damage

[summer prairie]

uncanny very questionable now. Not because of the lower numbers, but because it's brittleness so you have to apply it one by one on every enemy

first hit it does nothing, second hit 20%, only third hit 40% if all weakspot hits

maybe it's still ok with the weapon adm buffs

obscurus should be better due to the elite combo being 3 hits

[radiant frigate]

new uncanny does look a little silly

[potent echo]

gives more reason to do blaze special melee

instead of do it once to get 120% rending

[kind jay]

time for blazing spirit illisi meta

[wraith sphinx]

I'm down to clown with the uncanny nerf if the carapace enemy nerfs actually go through as advertised

[radiant frigate]

no no
just full power illisi meta

unstable slaughterer

POWER

[radiant frigate]

fatshark realizing that they made the chaos warrior equivalent too polarizing (weapons that suck into carapace barely tickle on headshots too)

[wraith sphinx]

I don't play vermintide, what equivalent is that?

[kind jay]

honestly i would use it. i mained deflector/slaughter illisi back in the olden days and it did well

i thought about it earlier because i dont think i ever actually tried it with sg

[deft stump]

Crusher but actual threat and proper moveset. Actually miniboss.

Can totally still one blep you if you fuck up. Not counting cata.

Cata is nearly anything can if you aren't IB Bardin.

If they made it harder or easier after, IDK. I stopped playing after paid cata.

[rigid sky]

I used to like Illisi with bloodthirsty

Was like a temu power cycler

[kind jay]

i wish fgs had bloodthirsty

[radiant frigate]

crushers

[rigid sky]

Wouldn't suit it nearly as well though

Bloodthirsty needs a spammy special

[kind jay]

fgs has the same special as illisi but yeah its slower

[deft stump]

They aren't spammed like crushers.

[wraith sphinx]

the demonic are without number...

[rancid geyser]

Illisi will probably only be used by me

It's a comfy weapon for chaff killing and tickling monsters

[potent echo]

One day we will have a staff that kills bosses

[fathom adder]

Empyric Shock Surge Surge I guess

I hate it on multiple levels

[potent echo]

I need to aim

[radiant frigate]

thanks i love this

[rancid geyser]

EK...

Start plinking away
Catch a stray
Then pack it up for a day

Clicking is fun though, and EK doesn't do bad damage into bosses

Even less so if you have unyielding on it

[kind jay]

ek is pretty safe and quick enough if you got all the buffs up it chunks

[rancid geyser]

^

Stack stay up as long as you hit monsters anyway

[kind jay]

i always start by stacking es and then do rmb 2x and lmb to keep es up

it aint gonna nuke but itll get the job done

[rancid geyser]

I always run mine with Cara+Unyielding with CF and PotS

Might not be pretty to some, but it gets the job done.

[kind jay]

i have the exact same build rofl

[rancid geyser]

Chunkiest crit damage you will see on the weapon

[kind jay]

yeah when you get that crit and like, kf goes off too

mmmf

[rancid geyser]

Been running it like that for a hot minute. People clowned on PoTS and CF heavy

Both are massive damage increases for the staff on the enemies that matter

It kills literally everything but crushers, bulwark and monsters without help

[kind jay]

i mean it still kills ogryns fast enough if youre keeping buffs up

the keyword i use is "safe". its good damage from a distance.

ek crits are nasty enough that you can chunk crushers just by lmb headshots

pots actually makes that damage significant

and you can stack es on bulwark shields before you rmb

[rancid geyser]

Well when I talk about it, it's more that everything you point at just dies on the spot but those enemies

I think even on full stacks each ogryn take 3-5 seconds of commitment not including KF. I'm not calling it bad because it's about the same for melee

[kind jay]

yeah thats about right, which is why i also throw in the safe argument

[cosmic sigil]

Any idea how to make scryer sfx disappear or less obvious? Turning down sfx volume helps but it's still drowning the rest.

[rancid geyser]

it usually gets drowned out for me

im not sure there actually is a way to do that

if you can find and edit the file that might help

if you know how to get to the note pad

[cosmic sigil]

wait

that may be peril fx mod

Will uncanny strike still be the go-to blessing on force swords after the upcoming patch?

[thorn cedar]

lets say 'one of the' go-to blessings instead, at worst

[kind jay]

holy hell i cant believe i survived this please someone get me some new underwear

[rancid geyser]

EK go BrrrrrrAAap!

I like how you fought the urge to pull out the melee until the end

[radiant frigate]

i could never do that

melee calls to me

[kind jay]

just felt more comfortable handling it with staff out

im not bad with melee but definitely less proficient than i am with ranged

[dapper flame]

There should be an option in settings where there is a peril fx slider. You should have this in vanilla iirc

Just slide it all the way down to turn it off completely. It's super annoying lol

I think it's in the accessibility menu

[cosmic sigil]

That setting is only for the visual afaik

because it was turned to the minimum for me

It is literally the last penance that I need for the psyker. I even managed to get cliffhanger recently with the help of kind stranger, but this one is pretty much impossible because what friends I do have either don't play often or are never playing at the same time as me.

[remote shadow]

Still need help?

Vraks 5 infantry autogun

[young shell]

wats the diff between vraks 5 and the other one

[buoyant maple]

Vraks 5 is higher dps than them both

But has recoil to think about

But it’s not that much recoil tbh

[young shell]

cool i normally adjust for recoil by default in most games and screw up with no recoil half the time

[white sky]

Vraks 5 feels like using the OG MW2 M4 tbh

There's recoil but it's barely there

[young shell]

is there a way i can cast the brain rupture blitz faster?

[white sky]

There's a talent for it that has attacks auto apply it onto elites(with a mild cooldown) that's very good

[young shell]

which talent?

[buoyant maple]

Kinetic flayer

[young shell]

oh i see

[buoyant maple]

Brain rupture has another subnode that allows u charge use it faster after using an ability

And the middle keystone can improve its charging speed & damage

But rly if u use brain rupture u should always have kinetic flayer

[urban meteor]

Super truthful, with the Soulblaze thing, it even helps it proc without switching up

fire usually lasts the whole CD, effectively maximizing the uptime on it, 0 time wasted on full battery

It even works better with Creeping Flames but one whole point just to flame some enemies tops isn't really my thing

[lethal plover]

I love when I am just running away and suddenly I hear a pop saying I killed an elite with kinetic flayer and random viral soulblaze

Sic it on a large enough crowd and it never stops

[royal falcon]

one (1) stack of soulblaze and some poor bomber's skull randomly explodes

[errant karma]

Hey so do we have any explanation on why there's so many damn Psykers being recruited?
Where do they keep finding Psykers strong enough to cast with Deamons actively around them in the Warp?
And more importantly why are these Psykers just random criminals instead of Sanctioned Psykers or maybe Librarians

[royal falcon]

weren't a good amount of them on black ships before being swept up into the Mourningstar

[errant karma]

Crazy how many expert Psykers are in there

[jovial juniper]

The quick and lazy response is that is just for gameplay reasons

[royal falcon]

gideo vame

[jovial juniper]

The lore like one is that the moebian domain do be full of Psykers

[errant karma]

The moment you start saying that it's 'For gameplay reasons' is when you stop having fun
I personally find it much more fun to assume every single decision was made with lengthy consideration of the lore implications and that everything should be taken completely seriously and intended

[jovial juniper]

Nice line of thought

But unfortunately

There's no lore reason as to why ogryn gun sucks

[royal falcon]

hive scum and arbites working together

[jovial juniper]

And well

[royal falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-reaction-gif-speed-confused-look-around-gif-15323274389497386203

[jovial juniper]

Ogryn gun sucks

So while I do appreciate the immersion

[hallow vector]

technically there isnt a lot

but functionally there is

cause the lore cant really work with tons of players

[errant karma]

Ogryns stoopid
Keep smacking gun
And eating funny black stuff in boolet
But now gun weak :(

[hallow vector]

and a limit to how many ppl can play a class would suck

[jovial juniper]

Same character that can overpower a spaez Mareens

Can't 1 shot human

But it's a part of the lore that Ogryns are plentiful on the moebian domain

[errant karma]

No you're wrong they clearly spent 12 weeks thinking over the lore effects of the quantity of Psykers near Atoma and debating what this would do to the rest of the Warhammer as a whole

[jovial juniper]

There's a whole moebian regiment that due to logistics error has too many ogryns

So maybe there's a bunch of Psykers on the domain too

Specially post cursed scar

Age of the witches and all

[errant karma]

Turns out a few dozen black ships took a wrong turn in the Warp and just assumed Terra redecorated, so now there's a few thousand Psykers here
And then they started having kids and they were also Psykers and by now we really can't get them out of the gene pool

[royal falcon]

imagine having kids in the Imperium

[jovial juniper]

And because the psykers ended in Atoma

They didn't meet the quota

So the Arbites had to step in

[errant karma]

Krieg certainly does
At least they probably do
I'm telling you there's still a chance that they're clones

[errant karma]

And the reason Atoma is so fucked by Chaos is the Emperor didn't get enough snacks one day and a bunch of Deamons and Heretics came in while he was hungy

how do you guys feel about electrokinetic staff

I was running it with bubble and it felt... underwhelming? maybe?

shouldve taken venting shriek I think

[fathom adder]

Honestly everything will feel underwhelming with bubble

[lethal plover]

Trauma staff is more fun

[knotty saddle]

yeah but if dont my teams get ripped apart aaaaaaaa

[lethal plover]

Electro is more geared towards anti gunner and special

But sacrificing horde clear

[knotty saddle]

im thinking I would take greatsword with it

electrokinetic is pretty defensive if elites get on top of me, so I dont feel like I need force sword or dueling as much

[lethal plover]

Yeah but clearing a horde with melee is still slower than inferno, but we all should know that. It's just about fun

[jovial juniper]

already did this so i can learn weapons without using it

since no way in hell am i using 40% max brittle

[urban meteor]

What the three psykers called Crunch, E Wizard, and Blue Crystals think at all times:

[urban meteor]

Wait up, I just realized that Scrier's Gaze covers it's own god damn cooldown

It's genuinely so busted

Even for a blitz devoted build

[wind spruce]

What does that even mean

[urban meteor]

It's already cooling down while you're using it

so when it ends, you're either almost there, or already there

Basically 100% uptime

except that you might want to quell a little

[wind spruce]

It's psykinetics aura that does that

Has nothing to do with gaze itself

[urban meteor]

ohhh

So it just doesn't block aura

not as op then, it only seemed like so because the level had one of those modifiers

So basically always proccing it

[wind spruce]

What does that even mean

[urban meteor]

The little yellow level modifiers

there's that hound one

super durable enemy or something

[young shell]

im quoting this to my warhammer friends

[wind spruce]

I want whatever you're smoking

[jovial juniper]

Hunting Grounds with Indomitable?

[crisp ether]

Nah tbf, it didn't work the way it does now before

Psykinetic's Aura would cut cooldown but the actual cooldown timer wouldn't go until after the ability ended.

Now, it just counts down regardless.

[young shell]

neat

[crisp ether]

Which.

Honestly.

[young shell]

holy shit im red now

[crisp ether]

I think it's a little much

[wind spruce]

Wtf since when

[crisp ether]

Happened since the tree rework.

My guess is, they did that to compensate for Psy Aura becoming percentage based?

But yeah you basically can just never blow up from Scrier's even without Warp Unbound because you can basically overlap casts.

That wasn't possible before.

Is it balanced?

Absolutely not.

But it's Psyker and Fatshark loves Psyker so

[wind spruce]

So dumb

Also how did i miss this

[crisp ether]

Because people don't talk about the inner workings of why Gaze is busted

That is a major part of it.

[wind spruce]

Its the sort of thing i talk about all the time

But i havent played much psyker in the last year

[crisp ether]

When I played Gaze after the rework

I saw that it was counting down after cast

And I legit just facepalmed

[deft stump]

I mean, inf gaze buffs.

Two groups of ppl use it, smykers, who usually are a burden to the team and meleekers/gunkers, a tiny portion of psykers.

So former contributes to losses and the lower amount of people using seems to get it buffed in order to get ppl to use it.

And before anyone says, the moment I see two 5 wound smykers, I know the EXTREME weight I need to bear.

[earnest furnace]

so, ive tried out both marks of the FGS, and i simply do not understand how people like the MKVI more? it feels really sluggish to me

also the fact i need to combo into the stab, as opposed to the MKVIII which stabs from shove

[cosmic cobalt]

because stab is mega damage and stab after shove only matter against bulwark

moveset is better as well

mk8 doesn't have a strikedown from running

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1487562396674556036/34AFE11.MP4?ex=6a019fb0&is=6a004e30&hm=aaaab7464acb2592f1cf820939b27d3034fa48a4c04fc354d6c65bc1c69816ad&

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/merry-christmas-mr-lawrence-david-bowie-flower-gif-23125742

[radiant frigate]

better single target
amd perhaps more importantly, can go into a strikedown at any point in any combo

and the mk8 pushattack followup stab is good but unfortunately the single target combo from neutral starts from push and has a move inbetween that does not do damage

as opposed to mk6 just going bonk shank repeat

[summer prairie]

Haven't used mk8 in a while but isn't the running heavy some useless sweeping heavy too

[radiant frigate]

yah

[summer prairie]

that just kills it imo

[radiant frigate]

running attacks are sweep and bigger sweep

yeah same

it's just bothersome

[thorn cedar]

idk i like both quite equally

that the draw attack is also a sweep is nice for my assail spamming in hordes

[summer prairie]

I don't think they buffed forceswords nearly enough to compensate for the uncanny nerf

[thorn cedar]

we shall see

[earnest furnace]

i mean, is psyker particularly reliant on uncanny? i rarely use it

[thorn cedar]

im fine taking something else for a change

not like we arent the strongest fucking class already

[radiant frigate]

sad day for force swords but we have fgs

[summer prairie]

Now you'll always take FGS if you actually want to melee yeah

[thorn cedar]

deimos will still have its H2

[summer prairie]

h2 has like 0.6 adm vs cara

[thorn cedar]

oh i dont mean the damage

i mean the utility of throwing mfers on their face

two taps with the new uncanny gets you right back to max rending anyway

L1 H2 or PA H2, done

[cosmic sigil]

you can do stab after light1

[radiant frigate]

Yes

h2 light light is also solid

[cosmic sigil]

yeah that too

whenever I wanna play zealot I play meleeker

[fathom adder]

Real

[rigid sky]

Or Scum

Scum does the speed freak side best

[cosmic sigil]

well psyker with speed on crit and scryer speed is something else

especially if you're using a shredder or a laspistol

[static sonnet]

Plus dd proc, you absolutely zoom 3 seconds at a time lol

I agree

#buffIllisi

Although that Obscurus buff

Kinda crazy

[thorn cedar]

poor illisi

Just give it ONE strike down

i beg you fatshark

[urban meteor]

Illisi is just in the limbo

Jack of no trades, master of nothing

[spice aurora]

im illiterate whatd they do to obscurussy

[marble crater]

Made it more gooder or something

[spiral fiber]

So i tried how to do flame psyker. And i just arround and spammed light attacks and maybe occasionally the heavier longer flame on ogryns is that pretty much it? I didnt die or take damage. Although i was only on damnation. I must be missing something ? Do i need to build up uncanny strikes on ogryns ?

[granite stratus]

Secondary fire is the flame staff's main way to deal damage

[jovial juniper]

Uncanny only for Crushers

As current Soulblaze adm vs cara is 0.1

Everything else is 1 or 1+

[spiral fiber]

So 5 melee hits and then flame?

[jovial juniper]

Usually the other way around

[spiral fiber]

Ok

[fathom adder]

Don't get used to Uncanny working this way because it's changing soon

[wraith sphinx]

I replaced uncanny with mercy killer on my knife, don't think I ever used that blessing before lol

[radiant frigate]

knife stonks probably going down now

[frail oar]

Knife has great blessing options so it should still be pretty good

[spiral fiber]

So basically run around and stay alivewith the bursts then charge until it grasps and kill specialists and the. Keeping in mind the uncany strike. The problem is im not seeing a lot of kill spam on my screen which makes me think im bad. Im using the knife but i can switch to whatever with best in slot if its advised to switch to something else

I have 3 toughness 16 curious

[fathom adder]

Knife is fine and will continue to be after the Uncanny change, it has high mobility and it still covers the one base that Inferno Staff doesn't (Carapace)

[rigid sky]

Best single target damage 1h force sword now

Less stagger though than deimos

[fathom adder]

What a long strange ride it's had

[radiant frigate]

from being the only, to fading into oblivion, to making an unexpected yet initially overlooked return because it coincided with the dawn of force greatsword

[urban meteor]

Never have I ever played such a dark ass game

I can see better in a no night vision Outlast run

But it's cool ig

[fathom adder]

Was it a lights out mission

[cosmic sigil]

executor should give global power no?

[radiant frigate]

possibly

[rigid sky]

Main thing I love about it is that its strongest hit is H1 instead of the Deimos' H2

Into light follow ups

[urban meteor]

No

but like, if you set the gamma just tight like the game demands, it gets a little darker than ideal

I even keep it slightly above the mark

[fathom adder]

tide is dark ig

[urban meteor]

Kid named Darktide

[steady elk]

What weapon combo do y'all like on psyker?

[kind jay]

fgs/ek is my goto

[dire wharf]

Either BFG and inferno staff or BFG and shredder autopistol

[verbal thistle]

Tactical axe and shredder auto/combat shotgun

[viscid matrix]

Classic revolver ds4

[jovial juniper]

Hands

[fathom adder]

Mk6 FGS + Mk2 Laspistol + Assail

[rancid geyser]

Illisi Force Sword + EK , Mk6 FGS + EK

[cosmic sigil]

shredder is one of the best side arm of the meleeker ngl

[radiant frigate]

fgs and laspistol/reconlas/EK

[cosmic sigil]

taxe revolver, deimos db shotgun, fgs crit shredder / bleedstol / slugshotgun

it's specifically affect rotten armor and change their base armor

their entirely body is still carapace

[summer prairie]

did you see the override snippet above

and their base armor is still definitely cara because SB is doing nothing

[summer prairie]

I guess (penetrating+pots)

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah that require taking penetrating flame

but due to base sb adm change it better now

[summer prairie]

insightful

[cosmic cobalt]

again i still don't think it worth it because you need to take pots and pen flame

[summer prairie]

penetrating also actually does something for your team now that they likely also have issues with their cara adms, though there's also going to be fewer of them

[cosmic cobalt]

it specifically affect weapon with uncanny

since it got nerfed

weapon decent at carapace is still the same and weapon that bad against carapace is also still the same

[cosmic sigil]

but infested pools of hp now!!

they killed uncanny interaction with dots, that's the main thing

[cosmic cobalt]

unless they LIES in the patch node (common occurrence) the infested base armor change only apply to rotten armor

[cosmic sigil]

Ye I know, so it's irrelevant for the majority of the player base

I am not sure people will see a difference outside of Havoc. If they struggled to deal with 6 crushers, reducing that to 4 won't really change anything. Finesse, crit weapons with good ADM will still reign king

[royal falcon]

fastest Swedish game dev update cycle

[urban meteor]

I'm genuinely so disappointed in Venting Shriek

Why would I even use it over Gaze, it also quells 50%

In turn, it does have much cooler lines

"Worship me or die!" VS "The warp flows through me"
Obvious choice

[thorn cedar]

shriek is dummy strong with other soulblaze sources

but i agree gaze is much cooler

[urban meteor]

yeah I'm using it mostly because you can make literally everyone blue instantly

But like, the deciding factor really is the voice lines

If Gaze had it's lines I'd say bye bye

[jovial juniper]

Counterpoint
Seer's overly long maniacal laugh

[thorn cedar]

HAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA

[kind jay]

its cool to kill people just by yelling at them

you manifest the power of a cod lobby, but with less slurs

[urban meteor]

true that, but it depends on personality

each have their own best CA line

[kind jay]

sg is also great cause loner will yell shit like "i am unstoppable" then i immediately get crushered

i was, in fact, stoppable

in morgan freemans voice

[urban meteor]

The goofy "You're all going to die, isn't that fun?"

then get blown off the ledge

[kind jay]

thats because nurgle takes control of one of my teammates and makes them barrel me

slurp

[thorn cedar]

no slurping in the channel, thank you

[icy breach]

Stagger on demand, soulblaze aplication, no tax points (for scriers you get that +10% melee dmg node pathing to go to the middle & left)
Yeah…

[icy breach]

Hes using a straw ok
Let him have fun

[thorn cedar]

-taps sign-

also what 10% melee damage is good

like im a big slut for stamina but the +1 stam is deffo the worst on that row

[icy breach]

When you use your ranged majority of the time it ain’t

[thorn cedar]

if youre going scriers odds are youre gonna be doing some melee

[icy breach]

More sprint, push & block

[thorn cedar]

and even if not

well

its 10% unconditional melee damage

i do wish you could branch out more flexibly there though

[urban meteor]

Scream on a tough guys face and he will most certainly not budge

[thorn cedar]

cause sometimes its the ranged one i dont want but im still taking shriek

type thing

[icy breach]

I guess
But considering overall nature of psyker; 10% melee dmg is the worst

[urban meteor]

But I see it's uses, sometimes you just need some nobody to stumble a little

some nobodies

[icy breach]

Lmao so wrong; shit staggers crushers even

Out of overheads

[potent echo]

does it

[potent echo]

maybe it does

[icy breach]

💯 it does mah boi

[urban meteor]

I know it does, but seemingly not every time

[icy breach]

[potent echo]

maybe im thinking of bosses

you need to be high peril because the stagger scales

[icy breach]

Ye bosses don’t flinch

[icy breach]

Not rly?

[icy breach]

Since its a specific stagger tier if they suffer that tier or above they are immune to that stagger & below for 3s atleast (burgle is immune for longer; put as a curio)

[kind jay]

you need at least 20% for the stagger to work on crushers

at least completely buffless

idk the stagger mechanics outside of that

[icy breach]

Thats piss ez to achieve

• its stagger; saves lives

There is a reason i use venting over scriers on smite for example

[kind jay]

oh for sure i was just pointing out that below 20 it doesnt work

[icy breach]

One of many reasons i might add

[icy breach]

Thx for that info

[urban meteor]

Yeah, I'm finding it a little underwhelming because I'm on EP

Even on a super fight, it's on 0%

Still using it though, "I AM DEATH[maniacal laughter]"

So hecking tuff block

[spark swallow]

I haven't touched this game for a while now. The recent nerf to uncanny strike, did it kill pure melee DS on psyker? I recall doing a SG build with it and can deal decent damage with normal DS hits on regular enemies

Or is it so-so? (Thinking of hopping in and doing old Blaze force sword melee instead again)

[white valley]

No, but FGS has always been better for melee psyker than DS

[spark swallow]

I just had alot of fun moving around with how agile one can be with DS. It's not meta, but it's fun for me to just hack and slash enemies

[white valley]

It's still fine

The weapon took a small hit, it is still very strong

[thorn cedar]

superiority is p. nice on deimos

[icy breach]

I use that too; no issues

[urban meteor]

I've got an issue

I don't ride on Peril enough with it

[icy breach]

You don’t generate peril on vs to have 20%? Wtf

[rigid sky]

Creeping Flames is incredible though - Venting Shriek is not at all about the venting.

that modifier is the vast majority of the power of the ability (the rest is mostly space making and knocking dogs off of people through walls)

[urban meteor]

Yes I'm now using it at flames

But I'm not getting that much peril

[rigid sky]

Yeah you gotta find ways to pump your peril up

if you're running that stupid node that nerfs your peril and your toughness gen for example, I'd drop that for Venting Shriek for sure

[urban meteor]

I'm using Warp Rider just out of preferring it over Vuln Minds

[rigid sky]

I take both lol

[urban meteor]

Nah I'm just not taking at Peril Res

only the mandatory

to get EP

[rigid sky]

Eh, don't like EP with shriek but you do you

shriek is so good I like warp siphon to be able to spam it even more

plus the In Fire Reborn synergy

If I'm running Shriek, then I want to be firing off a full power (or at least 67% peril+) Shriek as frequently and rapidly as possible

[urban meteor]

I took the sneaky battle meditation off, that was there from before

[rigid sky]

ew

yeah, you really don't want unpredictable peril dumps on shriek

[urban meteor]

Took Just a Dream and took off Meditation

that should do it

there's even space for Vuln Minds

[rigid sky]

What ranged are you using if you're not getting much peril?

Only staff that doesn't generate much heat is ironically the flame one

but even that can be manipulated to force your peril up

[urban meteor]

Yeah I'm thinking of either Strike or Flame

I'm just not using one rn because I'm getting a little mastery on some guns

But my final choice would be Strike staff

[rigid sky]

I'm like really dogmatic with Psyker I guess? I like Scrier's on anything with a lot of Finesse

so I would take Scrier's with a gun or with Voidstrike

I can see Shriek working with it though, to be able to fight a crowd better, but normally I just take Assail with a gun to shore up my ammo etc

Hope it works out for you, whatever you end up setting up

[pure mesa]

What’s that

[cosmic sigil]

force great sword + a gun

a gun playing nice with crits and finesse is best

[pure mesa]

What spells do you get though

[woeful cliff]

They buffed soulfire???

Am I missing something, wasn’t the last time I checked Soulfire was dummy broken already?

[weary crane]

Yes

[potent echo]

Yes

[pure mesa]

What talent tree is the meta is it the brain burst

[fathom adder]

That is one of them, yes

[pure mesa]

What do you do for damage

[jovial juniper]

You're not missing anything

[woeful cliff]

They must be smoking soulfire fumes

[pure mesa]

This game sucks

[cosmic sigil]

What talent tree is the meta is it the brain burst > What do you do for damage > This game sucks

you expect to push on button and kill everything?

[lone ravine]

yes, and we play it anyways

[wraith sphinx]

skill issued

[rigid sky]

lmao

There's no such thing as a "meta" blitz, you fill in whatever works best with your other stuff. All can work well.

If you're relying on your Blitz for most of your damage then you suck, not the game.

[zinc phoenix]

fuckin finally

this reads like a massive nerf to uncanny

did they buff burgatus/soulfire even harder against cara? I know the uncanny change probably means you cant use that to evade the ADM on them being kinda trash

[frail oar]

Yea they buffed soulblaze and purg vs cara

[rapid goblet]

is it really -30%? coz as there were 10+ crushers packs and they are still there on damnation/auric

[zinc phoenix]

Well based on the words they wrote I’d say it’s the number they wrote

[rapid goblet]

indeed

[kind jay]

they mentioned it was an average but can be higher/lower based on some stuff

aka who tf knows

[dire wharf]

An average of engagements throughout the entire mission

[pure mesa]

Yes

[rapid goblet]

it's like, we made some changes, but don't really know

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/p5-p5r-persona5-persona5royal-persona-gif-18912414

[cosmic sigil]

meaning the total in a run is lower but you can still get crushers conga lines

[pure mesa]

So I have to shoot guns and swing a sword the games premiere spell caster/witch class. Seems right

[ashen edge]

It's on average among multiple difficulties

[pure mesa]

This is why more ppl are on far far west

[zinc phoenix]

k well play whatever slop that is and go away

[rapid goblet]

after patch does it have any sense to use these with inferno staff?

[jovial juniper]

No but yes but no

These still will only matter for carapace

Just bring Obscurus Deimos Dueling Sword

Knoife

Fgs

[pure mesa]

A better game.

[full storm]

Should I still use these or swap to brittleness

[jovial juniper]

I like when the witch has a gun

Yes you should still use those

[rapid goblet]

I don't really play with inferno, voidblast is my choice, just curious

[jovial juniper]

Soulblaze Adms are pretty high across the board
So if you pick Pots/PenFlam it's pretty much just for carapace

But then you sacrifice Nexus Or Blaze Away or some other talent

[pure mesa]

So no meta psyker builds I can do that don’t require me spamming a gun?

[deft stump]

Inferno and trauma is still meta, WDYM?

[rapid goblet]

I don't get it, why is there something negative about gun psyker?

you spam staff the same way to kill things

you even spam melee to deplete enemies hp

[pure mesa]

Cuz I’m a psyker not a vet. I would choose vet if I want to see a gun on my screen 24/7

[pure mesa]

What do those do again

[frail oar]

There isnt. Some people get pissy about ammo but that's about it.

[rapid goblet]

and as a psyker I don't want to see staff 24/7 on my screen

[pure mesa]

Well you picked a Psyker so go play zealot or veteran

[rapid goblet]

while gameplay is similar to vet, psyker has its own specialties with gun

[verbal thistle]

funny how people still think vet is the gun class

when psyker can do more with it

but to each their own

[rapid goblet]

my vet is full melee by the way

[verbal thistle]

tis where vet strives, being a hybrid with leaning towards melee

they get their biggest damage buffs from melee

being ~45% global damage iirc

[rapid goblet]

melee psyker can be better version of zealot

[jovial juniper]

Anything is better than zealot atp

Except Arbites

#buffZealot

[rapid goblet]

nah, zealot is good in its own way

[jovial juniper]

[plucky flax]

Nein.

[radiant frigate]

i like how it took them this long to realize the chaos warrior equivalent should behave a little more like chaos warriors

[jovial juniper]

My best bet is that bulwarks will get more attacks in which they move the shield out of the way

Instead of just sweep bash swee bash sweep bash sweep bash

[frail oar]

God i hope so

Anything to make them something other than fun police

[ashen edge]

Reading chinese players review bombing this game for uncanny nerf is something

They always a meta slave

if only they were as loud as chaos warriors too

theyre just nurgle stealth zealots now

Nothing I love more than six bulwarks inside one another like some kind of 40k lemon party

[dire wharf]

It puts the lotion on the carapace or it gets the hose again

[knotty saddle]

can someone teach me how to melee psyker with greatsword

im using the base meleeker from the build guide

but idk how to actually play it. do I dump my assail into gaze and spam the alt fire on greatsword?

[radiant frigate]

if running warp unbound you can drop a fully powered assail barrage at the end of sg

[knotty saddle]

omg its Kat

[radiant frigate]

else you use assail to keep up mm

hi

[knotty saddle]

what is mm?

[radiant frigate]

malefic momentum

up to 25% extra damage

all of melee psyker is clicking heads and maintaining buffs

[knotty saddle]

oh interesting. so I need to swap between warp attacks and my laspistol/normal greatsword attacks?

every 10ish seconds?

[radiant frigate]

give or take

the easier way is to just weave it into your melee combos

and/or throw in occasional fgs specials with sufficient charge

[rapid goblet]

the most fun part of it is that their shields block attacks from any direction while they perform this blob movement

[radiant frigate]

lore accurate ogryn testudo

[knotty saddle]

what are the actually important buffs to track? malefic, SG....

I use custom buffs because theres way too fucking many and I dont need to know about them

[radiant frigate]

and high peril buffs: warp rider and warp-splitting

MM you will just develop a feel for

as for the peril buffs - that's mostly going to come down to keeping your peril up inbetween scrier's activations

[thorn cedar]

yea peril buffs are on your screen so that's easy to track (its the big number that makes you explode)

[knotty saddle]

so am I supposed to keep my peril up at all times like im playing unchained

[radiant frigate]

i play it without assail so i have gotten into the habit of just throwing out smaller fgs specials for peril

(and mm)

[radiant frigate]

yeah pretty much

except you don't explode from getting hti

hit*

it's like playing unchained except you need to blend more with your spells

[knotty saddle]

ok I think I kind of get it now? I enter scriers and dont cast much warp until I hit 30 stacks, then dump my fully charged greatsword and assail?

[feral verge]

@thorn cedar funny game

[thorn cedar]

oh which were you

were you the mommy

[verbal thistle]

yes

[thorn cedar]

ainz no

[feral verge]

i was the mommy

our brutes werent awful but they were awfully lost a lot

[feral verge]

[feral verge]

one of them was kinda bad. but it was the cute kind of bad

[thorn cedar]

ye

it was fun

getting barden to take that medicae at the mid event did feel like trying to give your dog medicine without any peanut butter

[feral verge]

yeah, i was internally screaming

they also burstered me

[thorn cedar]

ye i stayed clear

was using my lasp push lol

[feral verge]

beyond based

not enough people abuse that

[wind spruce]

No you cast extra when you hit 100% peril and enter warp unbound, not based on your scriers stacks

[knotty saddle]

oh? but im not letting myself hit 100% until I have 30 stacks

is that incorrect

in the last couple games ive been waiting until 30 stacks then I dump a fully charged greatsword + assail + a few more uncharged greatswords

[wind spruce]

Sure, but you dont start using your "free" peril bc youve hit 30 stacks, you do it bc you've hit 100%

[knotty saddle]

that makes sense, I just had the two tied together so 100% hasnt been happening until 30 unless I messed up

[median furnace]

I find FGS specials are also great for just general use stagger, friend off in the distance with a dog on them, FGS special knocks it off, if I have kinetic flayer too I might get an additional kill via the headpop but even if it doesn't die it's at least off your buddy, same with trappers or flamers, a moment of staggering them and preventing them firing can make the difference.

I'll miss you 🥀 🪦

[thorn cedar]

well so far ive opted for slaughterer on my deimos

results are p. good

[marsh dew]

on electro staff + scriers, do you bother with anything soublaze-related?

[rich spindle]

You can sometimes get perilous combustion snowballs on the highest difficulties but you won’t miss much by skipping it

[marsh dew]

cool, that's what i thought

useful if i go venting shriek but for scriers, nah

[ashen edge]

Do you still use uncanny strike on force sword? What is the blessing combo do you prefer so far?

[pure plinth]

on melee psyker, i dont use uncanny force sword

obscurus mark with slaughterer, superiority or executor

your horde clear is.... pretty lousy with it

[flint pawn]

Hello intelligent residents of the Psyker chat

Haven't played in quite a while how's this new balance patch?

[potent echo]

Does superiority work if you swap to it after firing assail/voidstrike/soulblaze

[deft stump]

Better for coordinated play, worse for 'solos'. Bleed got extra fucked by it since no slight buff to compensate. Like, if you are stuck with 3 bots, brittle is FAR worse than rending.

Mind you, this is personal opinions from playing public games on my server. At times, there's simply no other player to play with.

it still applies even if you have another item out

although the kills need to be with the weapon

or while it is out

[wind spruce]

Not for assail and voidstrike hits im pretty sure

Dots yes

[worthy wasp]

Lmfao, just saw the patch notes.

Just what psyker needed, more damage on the inferno staff

[icy breach]

Tell me the Devs don’t play their own game without saying they don’t play their own game

[serene stream]

As an inferno staff user, I welcome the changes, considering I swapped out dueling blade for forcesword to do warp knockbacks on crushers.

[radiant frigate]

as someone who doesn't use uncanny or inferno, i say nothing has changed for me

[icy breach]

Me neither

[serene stream]

I miss being speedy and having more dodge maneuverability with the dueling blade but at the end, I'd rather be able to avoid crushers than risk getting my face scrunched.

[wraith sphinx]

Inferno is my least fave staff so idgaf

[potent echo]

I used to be inferno's strongest warrior when people said it was unviable in damnation

[wind spruce]

Wait what? You retain your superiority stacks when you switch but the buff is only active with your melee equipped

[pure plinth]

yeah youre right

i was too tired to realize i explained it wrong or misleadingly

[wraith sphinx]

Vile misinformation spreader...

[serene stream]

who let the nurgle heretic into the psyker room?!? /sarcasm

[jovial juniper]

Rip rending blast staff

(it's not dead)

Everyone is applying brittle now

(not really)

So we don't need you anymore

(me when I lie)

[pure plinth]

all of these brittleness appliers stack right

uncanny, penetrating, thunderous

[jovial juniper]

Yes

But

Uncanny and Thunderous are generic brittle

So they cap at 40%

Pen flames is brittleness but it stacks on top of generic

So you can add another 20% to that 40%

Making it 60% brittle

Then you have the Hsword special brittleness

Which is 10%

It can stack on top of generic brittle

So I'll assume it can result in 70% brittleness under all those conditions

[thorn cedar]

If u reach 100% brittle on a target they crumble like a saltine

[cosmic sigil]

there is vet brittleness too

[jovial juniper]

Pretty sure it got reworked into the current Exploit Weakness

[deft stump]

Onslaught still exists?

[pure plinth]

there was like this talent that give brittleness on melee crit

[deft stump]

There were two, one for rapid fire attacks and another with a melee focus.

[pure plinth]

yes

that was the melee focus one

[jovial juniper]

Yeah

Reworked

[pure plinth]

it was only like what, 10% brittleness each crit

[jovial juniper]

Yup
Generic Brittle

[deft stump]

So brittle is worse with multiple sources, check.

[quartz barn]

New meta: flame randoms for stacking brittle

[potent echo]

Debuff indicator for top tier shaming

[rapid goblet]

can arbites add more with special shotgun ammo?

it gives 25% brittleness if I'm not wrong

[jovial juniper]

If it's generic Brittle it'll cap at 40%

[rapid goblet]

but it adds for example to crusher's brittleness,, it doesn't work like that with brittleness of other classes?

[radiant frigate]

what about onslaught

ah nvm

i did not look up

[jovial juniper]

Oh so it's not generic brittle?
interesting

[little hare]

unstable power too?

[jovial juniper]

But yeah most sources of brittleness are generic

So they don't go past 40%

[cosmic cobalt]

ex shotgun + penflame are unique brittleness and can stack

[wraith sphinx]

I like the onslaught

[rapid goblet]

so in theory there could be in certain ocasions 95% brittleness?

[radiant frigate]

with penflame and exterminator and hsword

[rapid goblet]

science!

[radiant frigate]

so with a whole team working together
you can almost match old uncanny strike on a single target
in extremely niche circumstances

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah no it still dogshit

[deft stump]

Requiring everyone to focus... GL in pubs.

[thorn cedar]

you dont really have to focus

i mean it helps

but youre slapping brittleness on almost anything you touch, odds are youll be saturating the same frontline targets

and none of this matters outside of crushers really

which got super nuked population wise in havocs

kinda too hard tbh

[deft stump]

Is more, matching old uncanny in terms of power.

[thorn cedar]

oh yea probably never

which is fine by me lol

[radiant frigate]

uncanny stroke

[wraith sphinx]

New psyker blitz

[jovial juniper]

Thx
Last thing I needed was psyker going "check your balls"

[kind jay]

i cast testicular torsion

and papercut on your eyelid

[icy breach]

Never was
Was known for a long time now
Also lasts 8s

[icy breach]

[jovial juniper]

This says a lot about how I engage with Arbites

They're mid anyways

I also don't use their guns

Dog is their best ranged weapon

[icy breach]

Nah
Dog stands for D & D stands for Dogshit

UNLESS ranged keystone is used & you just forget you have a dog

[jovial juniper]

The dog.... shit?
Yeah they do that

https://tenor.com/view/avatar-meme-avatar-gif-12916672847590935737

My relationship with Arbites is strictly professional

I play it, it complete penances

Nothing more
