psyker-class

[long saddle]

30 imo

but you can always view how much it'll go up from one level so

or wait that was not fgs

it was regular fs

[boreal jetty]

Yea, it's the regular sword.

Though I do have a Greatsword of, max stats + 22 Warp.

[long saddle]

you're not gonna special with it so it's whatever

unless you want to do peril special spam

[boreal jetty]

Is 30 the general Warp threshold? Not, 20? Or 10s range the far ideal?

[long saddle]

im just basing the 30 off of a build I just got linked to

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a00aa358-26ff-4d52-91ba-559682ebd0e9/zazys-blazing-spirit-greatsword-unga-bunga-experience

which is what you want as max for that

two specials and you're at max peril

and mine just happened to be exactly 30 so I see the 50% peril increase all the time

tested with a 20 warp res now and it gave me just slightly more than 50% so it's not really worth that much more optimizing

[boreal jetty]

Noted.

[long saddle]

testing with a 20 warp res fs now

gives me 37

[olive oar]

Ragers have no brain, harder to kill.

[long saddle]

so whatever number lets you hit 33% peril on special is "ideal" ig

since you're prob not gonna get close to 50% on it

the one low warp res I have built is at 38 warp res which gives me 30% peril

so around 30 warp res is prob what you want

[olive oar]

Yes, few adjustments and you can use everything in your kit and not be pigeonholed into infinite smiting.

[boreal jetty]

For all psyker weapons then, that want low warp.

[olive oar]

https://youtu.be/p4455DhoR6c?si=baiud7eIZoR4KQ5b

[long saddle]

no prob just for the force swords

[steel flame]

It's specifically for great sword to hit 2 activation max peril

[boreal jetty]

So Great Sword, 30 Warp.

Regular Sword, different low Warp threshold?

[steel flame]

Though I did also need to hunt a 30 warp resist trauma staff for my blazing trauma build. The forced peril quell on r tap change quells so much peril I had to remove all warp resist from build along with dripping staff to 30 just to stay peril positive while casting

[boreal jetty]

Trauma staff?

Dripping staff?

[steel flame]

I refuse to call it voidblast

Too easy to confuse with bowling ball stick

[fathom adder]

'member that time fatshark changed a bunch of weapon names for no reason at all

[thorn cedar]

Yes because my brain still has never recovered

[steel flame]

Regular force swords you want low as possible but none of them are reliable sources of peril. Their animation are too long and the special can't be spammed because without a target you can't get rid of the charge without waiting a few seconds.

[boreal jetty]

What's the Warp threshold for Warp swords then?

[steel flame]

Illi use to be reliable for peril gen when you could continuously activate your special (sword stroking) but they nerfed that so it's unreliable too

[steel flame]

Even with 25 you are looking at 3-4 activations that take 4x as long as the great sword

They lock you in a long ass animation that can't be canceled and is not viable to spam in combat when you need peril

[dire wharf]

Psyker's battle forged weapon bundle and not a single force sword skin included

[thorn cedar]

Still the best one, it's easier to anim cancel and repeat

[steel flame]

Oh it is for sure

But you can't dry fire it either

Very sadge

Gotta have something to hit

But at least I have my fgs to spam out as many full stack shrieks as I want

[fresh reef]

Does anyone know if Warp Ghost affects the amount of toughness you give to allies when using the EP node that gives toughness?

[thorn cedar]

Just yourself.

They would need their own toughness gen talents.

[rich spindle]

Nah you can just stroke it

Stroke that shi

[next hill]

I am new to psyker does anyone have a game lantern website on what build to do? I have no idea what route I want to go through

[marble crater]

Check the pins for dozens of builds

[next hill]

What pins?

[marble crater]

Here in this channel

[short wing]

i’m happy to give you my build which is quite fun to use and can do havoc 40

[next hill]

oh

[short wing]

if you’d like ofc

[long wharf]

holy fuck, Skitarii is real

[rigid sky]

Skitarii femboys let's karking go

[long wharf]

ew

no.

[plucky flax]

Skitarii have big femboy community?

[jovial juniper]

Considering that the skits will be genderless

[cosmic cobalt]

skitarii use linux

probably

[kind jay]

the 3 skitarii personalities: windows, linux, mac

[white sky]

It's one of their biggest memes tbh

[steel flame]

I hate the internet

[cosmic cobalt]

freebsd

[wraith sphinx]

I actually doubted but am thankful it is real lol

[olive oar]

What's this AI heresy here? (Remembering that all silicon based computing is considered "AI", that's why biocomputers and the skulls that contain the processing brain are so prevalent in Warhammer.)

[kind jay]

i don't make the rules

[long wharf]

no, there was a particular artist that started the whole "femboy skitarii" thing in r/grimdank

he was also known for some far more... extreme stuff

some of it genuinely concerning, but some random online hater got in contact with the artist's mother and "outed" his proclivities

a truly dick move

[cosmic sigil]

A dick move indeed

[swift stag]

Skatari Yesterday

Leave my bubble shield alone fatshark thx

[kind jay]

skittles will just have everything soiker has but bigger

bigger sword bigger gun bigger bubble

force greatersword

incomparablerer mind

[jovial juniper]

Ok but

We know psyker is Fatshark's favorite child

So

Ek staff buff

Because arc rifle will be a thing

[kind jay]

if patch notes come out and there is a single line for psyker that says "ek buff" i will consider the entire patch a massive success

[thorn cedar]

ive heard enough, buff scriers gaze

[sour frost]

Omg you’re so right, they SHOULD make smite do exponentially more damage the longer it’s in use

[olive oar]

I'm divided on this one, EK don't need a buff, it needs blessings that increases the secondary attack relevance. It has no specific blessing that improves it's usability. It has one strong build that relies heavily on it, Primary Spam, and that's boring.

[jovial juniper]

Adding anything to make it better is a buff dawg

[kind jay]

every hit should cause an ogryn frag explosion

that'll fix it

I'd give it a chain lightning blessing where every rmb gives a stack up to 3-5. each stack gives some % damage and +1 target hit

[olive oar]

EK Openheimer edition!

My idea is to give its secondary 3 charge levels, both in the charge and in the attack part, in the charge it increases primarily the number of targets, during the attack charging it further improves the damage. Something that makes it a little Smite that deals a lot of damage according to charge time.

[kind jay]

should be a blessing though so you have to make some kind of choice

i think the base staff is fine but every build is just surge/nexus for lmb or flurry/nexus for rmb

it needs a couple interesting blessings

[thorn cedar]

Maybe I'm the odd one out but I think EK is fine in its goofy niche of being the left click staff.

The reality is that Smite took the place of its right click two years ago and that was its entire original identity.

[jovial juniper]

Reduce its M2 peril gen
Make the second target unarmored/infested cap at 400

Alternatively
Reduce the rng on M2 instead of lowering the peril gen

[kind jay]

prefer they buff ek and rework smite instead

[jovial juniper]

True

My Psyker is still called ReworkSmite

[wraith sphinx]

Voidstrike damage buff waiting room

[fluid skiff]

Is quell speed or warp resist the better dump stat for inferno staff?

[thorn cedar]

People will make arguments for either or.

[kind jay]

personally i don't really care if they coexist. from an auric perspective, ek is a great staff even with a basic rmb build. i just think a few interesting blessings would be cool

[olive oar]

This is the reason why people hate Smite, playing the event now, just me and another because the rest was in another place, we get to a totem and I start to smite, totem heals, I spend more than a minute locking the horde and the other guy did not attack the totem!

[jovial juniper]

Warp Res

It usually comes down to it scaling poorly

And psyker liking high peril

[thorn cedar]

Oh actually yeah for inferno especially

It is an absurdly inexpensive staff to fire

[rich spindle]

This is why I stopped playing with Ainz. He never attacks when I stun everything with smite

[kind jay]

so rude

[rich spindle]

Guy needs to work on his fundamentals and teamwork

[rigid sky]

To the point of struggling sometimes to make full use of CDR for shriek

[thorn cedar]

Somewhat problematic with Battle Meditation

[steel flame]

God I hate having to pay the battle meditation tax for some builds

[kind jay]

can't you go around it?

[thorn cedar]

I think Battle Meditation fucken rocks tbh

I don't mind taking it at all when I want it, I am also not hyperfixated on the idea of ultra minmaxing my perils bar at every waking moment lol

However I am not a pleb who sits around with a fire staff.

[rich spindle]

All psyker players are plebs unfortunately 😔

[thorn cedar]

this is true

i run mind in motion so i can always outrun the insults

[kind jay]

i was more wondering about what zazy said.

[rich spindle]

I ain’t never take it

Personally

[thorn cedar]

i was very pleased to see it get a 10% peril res tacked onto it

[rich spindle]

I just overload and die like a man

[thorn cedar]

i also overload, just 10% less

thats quikmaffs

i pushed myself to do 100 squats this morning and ngl i dropped my phone at the counter while going to pay for my burger

and trying to pick it up

time started dilating and i spent an hour in that 10s period considering leaving my phone there on the floor for good

[kind jay]

bro tryna become one punch man

[thorn cedar]

oh yeah that was his gimmick number wasnt it

honestly 100 pushups/situps/whatever

is so much less impressive

than a 10k run every day

that is crazy shit

[rich spindle]

Nice, let’s get those buns plump and juicy

[kind jay]

the only thing i run is my mouth

and then put food in it

[thorn cedar]

god i love these burgers so fucking much

[kind jay]

where we getting burgers from

[thorn cedar]

cant say cause its very local

just the best goddamn smash burgers ive ever had

[marble crater]

Come on, dox yourself, you coward

[thorn cedar]

oh yeah? come over here and kiss me then

[kind jay]

burger kiss?

[marble crater]

I'm not brave enough to try and visit the US

[thorn cedar]

america excuse me

-spits-

this is canada eh

now get ur hoser ass over here so we can lady & the tramp this burger

[marble crater]

Well Canada I could visit with no issues

But they speak French there, so I would rather not

[thorn cedar]

only in a couple places really

one just happens to be a fairly large region

and idk i hazard to call it french at this point

[kind jay]

it's not thaaaaaat bad here

come visit we got gators

and tons of swampland you definitely won't get murdered in

[dire wharf]

Sounds like the south

[kind jay]

its florida

[rich spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/islandboi-islandboy-gif-23570827

[kind jay]

the schlong of America

[dire wharf]

Are those the kissing brothers

[thorn cedar]

i have no fucken idea what creature this is

[jovial juniper]

Island boys

[thorn cedar]

all i know is that florida is severely overdue WRT its revisiting the bottom of the ocean floor

[kind jay]

true and based

Florida makes tertium look like paradise

[thorn cedar]

i'd rather be dick deep in groaner guts while sucking down pox gas than visit orlando

[kind jay]

i mean we got both of those here

[thorn cedar]

my parents did visit florida two years ago, first time they ever did that, which i guess is some sort of mandatory right of all french canadians over 45 for some reason (snowbirds)

they only mentioned two things

1. gaters are like deer out there, they're just around, everywhere, it is not a rare thing

2. it sucks tremendously unless you like driving or sitting at a beach, there is no inbetween

disney has a monopoly on all the walkable infrastructure on the entire peninsula

[kind jay]

1 is true. 2 not quite. there's very nice places here but our drivers are some of the worst

though to be fair our nice walking areas are usually in the richer people areas

[thorn cedar]

yeah i didnt go but they mentioned sidewalks being surprisingly rare and shaded sidewalks being even rarer

[kind jay]

yeah mostly true

gators are pretty cool though. they used to just chill behind my dad's house

no fencing or anything lmao

[dire wharf]

Until they eat you

Then they are.not so cool

[kind jay]

nah its fiiiine

[tacit kettle]

How viable is soulblaze for a crit build?

[kind jay]

most animals can kill you or eat you. we still a bunch of them are cool

soulblaze is viable in general. depends on your loadout and talents

[tacit kettle]

Planning on running the 1 handed force sword with the quickdraw revolver

[dire wharf]

Why 1h?

[tacit kettle]

Because I like it

Its cool lol

[thorn cedar]

deimos supremacy

[kind jay]

if you're planning to use blazing spirit you can do that but you'll want to stack it with other sources like perilous combustion and vent shriek

works fine

[rich spindle]

Doesnt really do much with the setup you mentioned but it looks cool

You might get one decent perilous combustion snowball per game

Depends on difficulty and team

[spice aurora]

when she do it just right and u perilously combust

[jovial juniper]

Perilous Combustion is always good

Wildfire performance depends on how much sources of Soulblaze you have

So let's say you won't pick it rn

Souldrinker is alright

[spice aurora]

im cursed psyker ive never actually clicked on perilous combustion node yet

[olive oar]

Blazing Spirit is in a strange position, because it allows you to do a lot of damage but it depends on two points to become useful. They require cleave as the value is proportinal to how many targets can get lit by each critical, and they also require critical hits.
Force Greatsword has good inate cleave and can use a secondary blessing to increase either crit or cleave according to your build.
The Forcesword that it shines most is the Illisi, it's kind weak as a sword, but with that 100% crit chance it can put some work for you, it will be worse than the Greatsword in almost every way.

[kind jay]

ive made builds without pc its totally fine

[olive oar]

https://youtu.be/PH_ey5l-GTk
It works like this, least possible buffs to not skew the test too much.

[olive oar]

Don't use it on my Smite build as well, it adds nothing there.

[rich spindle]

You might get away with this in live games but when it comes to the real deal in the psykanium you will suffer

[olive oar]

Perilous simply scales too well with the game's current power creep, by itself, with no support it can deal about 8% of your total damage.

[kind jay]

psykanium is cursed. i think possibly because of creature spawner, but whenever i exit, it turns off invis and everything starts attacking. so i just hear the sounds of terror as the screen blacks out to load back to lobby

[spice aurora]

i need to be like my fav utubers and fight the psykhanium enemies to beat the gaem

[fathom adder]

Been that way for a while now, mods or not

[kind jay]

ohh ok

[rich spindle]

Happened a patch or two ago

None

(mk7)

power rangers or tele tubbies?

Gotcha

Thx everyone

me trying to find the sedition game difficulty

i just peril'd 3x in one run

i periled all over the place

i was like a 90s emo kid

[spice aurora]

@olive oar can i use chain axe in havoc 40

[olive oar]

As a Hivescum or Zealot I guess you could.

[olive oar]

I guess you can as a Psyker as well, just go for the Inferno build or Hellblaze build then you won't even need to switch to melee.

[kind jay]

chat cant stop me because i cant read

[tacit kettle]

Would y’all recommend the revolver or auto pistol for a scrier’s gaze build

[potent echo]

Skiitari toilet

[rich spindle]

auto pistol is a little easier to use

theyre about the same performance though

[tacit kettle]

Ty!

[spice aurora]

safest revive ever

[verbal thistle]

he got airpods in

imagine how loud that would be

holy

[rich spindle]

The toilet bowl protects

[naive crescent]

Coming from zealot relatively new to the game

Still leveling my Psyker, but it's rough man haha. What build would be good for a beginner?

[hoary mauve]

The pins has a build with assail for leveling 🙂

It's good, I leveled my 2nd psyker using it

[normal matrix]

how does use lightning staff

[static vessel]

How many of you use inferno staff mainly or very often on psyker? I want to ask you a question

[quaint thunder]

wuts a good build rn ?

[rich spindle]

I played a billion hours of it in my dark past

[static vessel]

Why don't you spam m1

I see so many inferno staff psykers not spamming m1 when they should

Like you should do it all the time

[rich spindle]

most inferno staff psykers are bad

some spam m1 too much some never use it

[deft stump]

Because it's more for stagger than damage.

Is funny in the current event at max aspd buff though but still eh.

[static vessel]

They melt the same dough

[rich spindle]

rmb is a lot faster

you only m1 if the stagger is gonna save your team from immediate chip damage

[static vessel]

Or m1 to never have a problem in the first place

:)

[rich spindle]

you can but a lot of the time there shouldnt be a problem

like trash horde

[deft stump]

Could just kill everything as well.

[static vessel]

I counter trash horde with m1

No trash horde w m1

:)

[rich spindle]

thats fine

staff is so op you can just do m1

[static vessel]

So logically

All inferno staff users should be m1ing things to death

So that nothing beats them

[rich spindle]

in real game its typically better to just kill stuff faster

than stunlock it

[static vessel]

Can't lose if they're all dying and stand still

[deft stump]

Unless it's an absolute mess, but at that point you simply need a shockmine or durp.

[rich spindle]

good point

[static vessel]

Its just like

I killed nearly a hundred ragers attacking me in meat grinder

[rich spindle]

yeah mass ragers is a m1 only moment

mass gunners though, not really a point to m1

[static vessel]

Which makes me feel inferno psykers are SEVERELY underperforming

[static vessel]

Stagger

They shut up when you fire upon them

[deft stump]

Unless the ragers are on the tauntgryn so just speedburning is safer.

[rich spindle]

thats the supression

[static vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-jerma985-breached-containment-scp-scp-985-gif-8018209454671089224

[static vessel]

This is how every inferno staff user should be playing

And yet

[rich spindle]

yeah you can be insanely aggro with it

[potent echo]

Sprint slide while channeling solves everything

[static vessel]

Insneed

But the funnier part is

No channeling needed

M1

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-pyro-team-fortress-burn-in-flame-fire-gif-15811879

[spring venture]

I'm dumb, what's m1?

[static vessel]

Left mouse button

[spring venture]

The prob with M1 is that it builds up peril way too fast

[potent echo]

Corridors fear us

[static vessel]

Easily dealt with by just quelling. Or using shriek. Or sciers gaze lmao

Sciers gaze is the better choice I think

[potent echo]

Peril doesn't matter until you are surrounded and getting shot in 20 directions, but that's actually just a positioning issue

[static vessel]

Put your back to the wall so you're not surrounded

Or well encircled

[static vessel]

2 m1s and they're well staggered for you to make space

[spring venture]

I've been playing with inferno staff and venting shriek, and it feels so nice to use the right button. I only use the left button when they get too close. I almost never need to manually quell (with the exception of shriek). And everything just dies so freaking fast 🔥

[static vessel]

Try using m1 more.

It makes m2 look stupid

[spring venture]

M1 doesn't kill as fast for me, but I'll give it a try next time

[potent echo]

What does "when they get too close" mean

I'm the one getting too close to them

[static vessel]

Yeah spamming just m1 is really magical (and mind numbingly boring)

[spring venture]

Inferno staff in general is just mind numbingly boring. Melee is the way to go!

[rich spindle]

well said minions

[rigid sky]

M1 is a movement and stagger tool, m2 is the killer

[icy breach]

You mean Zealot flamer; i doubt its gonna be soulblaze

[potent echo]

Same difference if it's gonna have infinite ammo

Maybe it's based on grenade charges and not a CD

[icy breach]

Not rly;
Burn DoT ADMs;

[potent echo]

Mm flak

[icy breach]

Not to mention stacks durration, dmg & tick dmg rate

Basically; fire is better

And it will most likely be fire

[potent echo]

And they aren't psyking

[icy breach]

Ofc not

Its gonna be fire

Not soulblaze

Which will make it stronger

[potent echo]

Yea

Maybe they will finally implement limited cleave to balance it

🥹

[icy breach]

Nah
But atleast if the flaming time will be long/stacks will be plenty - zealot flamer will be hit by that

[potent echo]

Nerf zealot charge again

[grave finch]

if you use scriers gaze with the talent that prevents you from blowing up from it and then start using smite, can you continue to hold the smite or will you eventually still blow up?

[rigid sky]

That sounds like a terrible use of the Gaze damage buff ngl

[wraith sphinx]

I try to avoid using it it feels very limiting and inflexible to use

[marble crater]

Never tried, I imagine you will hold smite until the timer runs out and then it gets canceled like normal, if you are at 100% peril at the end of it.
But yeah, that's also the worst use of Scrier’s I can think of

[grave finch]

ah alright, i was just doing some thinking and thought it might make it work indefinately

[dusk timber]

It would also make your whole team hate you

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

[potent echo]

I subjected 6 players recently to that

[icy breach]

Smite will not overload you ever unless you start casting it at 100%

[icy breach]

Scriers smite build has been around for quite some time already
Venting smite still better

[rigid sky]

Yeah, one thing that Smite is good for is setting up a perfect venting shriek every time

[dire wharf]

Ramen soup and nacho doritos for breakfast

[olive oar]

Try to overcome this one test. It's there in the creature spawner options. Melee pressure normal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGmjfwm041U

[potent echo]

This is so exciting

[olive oar]

@rich spindle found his match, and he thought that me was his nemesis.

[olive oar]

It's not, it will make small encounters go faster but you will do much less damage overal.

[olive oar]

You won't explode, when the timer ends you have a 1.5 seconds grace period then you can activate another SG if enough elites died or it will quell some peril automatically. Try this build, so you won't have to stay smiting all the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4455DhoR6c

[icy breach]

Its not about the dmg mah guy
Its about many other factors that shriek provides and scriers do not

Also rly? Less dmg? 6 soulblaze stacks and then perilous procs & stacks and wildfire spreads it around so your souldrinker keeps pumping you toughness so even when you get chipped you survive AND kills due to it faster so your smite gets new targets and does not make that 1 bozo approach you & try to slap your bottom

Not to mention stagger on demand, 30m range so you can soulblaze shooters beyond your smites reach in order to kill them

Scriers does not give you any of that

I had numerous games where if i had scriers instead i would have died/lost the game/unable to revive a teammate

[rigid sky]

Plus warp Siphon synergies

[icy breach]

EP mah man

Its better

[rigid sky]

I like EP but only for brain rupture tbh

I have a Voidblast EP brain rupture build that is a lot more effective than it sounds

[icy breach]

For smite its great
For assail its silly
For brain rupture its godly

[icy breach]

Ah so you’re using my build

[rigid sky]

I feel like shriek and Siphon are made for each other

Are you using bubble with it?

[icy breach]

They are
EP smite is just better; shriek on its own is already great & does not require any help

[icy breach]

Ofc not; shriek is better

Despite double wall shenaningans

With KR

[rigid sky]

Normally I agree, but it seems to help me more on the voidblast

It's effectively a tank build

Somehow

[icy breach]

I would be using double wall if it weren’t dogshit vs melee units

[rigid sky]

I'm taking the bubble for the toughness regen

I am very toughness brained on psyker

[icy breach]

Like… random chance to do minimal dmg & no stagger? Dogshit

[rigid sky]

Hence rejecting That One Talent that cuts your toughness gain

[icy breach]

Thats what EP brain rupture is for together with shriek & staff; don’t need bubble

[icy breach]

A mistake

[rigid sky]

So I've been told

Mostly by you I think lol

[icy breach]

Someones gonna preach to the masses after all

I take that mantle gladly

[icy breach]

So about the build…

[jovial juniper]

Oooh tank build
Sienna has a tank build
Which means that psyker will get a big mace soon

[icy breach]

Can Psykers canonically use maces & such?

(We do not talk about the shock maul)

[jovial juniper]

Closest thing to a mace psykers can use is the force rod iirc

Then the hammers

But swords and staves are the more common thing used

[rigid sky]

TBF I haven't played this one in ages

[wraith sphinx]

Why not? It's a fun option for a challenge run

[rigid sky]

I can try to recreate it though

[icy breach]

I would unironically run it as a crusher/bulwark stopper cause special is underrated

[icy breach]

Ok force rod sounds fking cool

[wraith sphinx]

I do the same, I like spamming it against boss shields too, very risky but that's the fun of it

[icy breach]

Its a potent stun & ok dmg with status effect that arbies (and maybe skitarii) can benefit from

[wraith sphinx]

I did it with that in mind when arbites first launched to decent results

[icy breach]

Weird that our psykers can use chain weapons
A chainaxe notherless

[wraith sphinx]

I cannot use chain weapons anymore. Gives me memories of how sore my wrist would get from spamming the chainsword on my gun psyker when I was still new to the game

[rigid sky]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=a1d71bfd-00ee-4de9-af36-f7827a282cea

Haven't figured out what to replace Uncanny with

Probably Riposte though

[icy breach]

Could be better
Was wondering if you used blaze version

[icy breach]

Shred, deflector, precog, superiority, slaughterer
All good

[deft stump]

Stop reminding me of the trauma... Still has a maxed out chainsword on psyker from that trauma.

[icy breach]

This is what i use
Melee is unironically Dclaw with;
Stamina + Unyielding
Shred + Skullcrusher
Its for bosses

[wraith sphinx]

I hate how I instantly became better at the game by just not using the chain weapons anymore

[deft stump]

Auric mael, Chainsword EK, Basically BB Bubble DD.

[icy breach]

And here is the gameplay (i’m yet to write the guide…)
https://youtu.be/tVC5CaGOnFY

[deft stump]

TRAUMA. Curls up.

Had to win 1 auric mael with it.

[icy breach]

So Chainaxe & Trauma Stick are Kariens kryptonite
NICE

[deft stump]

And EK with basically no peril cost reduction...

[deft stump]

Chainsword.

It's RNG build.

Ask @strong gulch on it if he still has it somewhere.

Call it challenge runs.

[deft stump]

Also, I have been forcing myself to play trauma. Don't like trying to clutch with it though.

[olive oar]

Yeah, if you build for smite, using EP, by going for Shriek instead of SG you will do much less damage overall.
It will, as I stated before, end a small encounter faster and the Shriek do have a huge value on its own, but if smite is active it will be a self limited fire as enemies won't be able to get closer to each other in order to kindle the perilous combustion chain reaction.
This is because Smite does a lot of damage by its own means when paired with EP, so being able to sustain the Smite will give far better results to an Smite build.

[rigid sky]

Chain axe 4 is fun as fuck on Zealot, idk about the other classes

[jovial juniper]

Vet likes mk12 more

[rigid sky]

I mean it does a lot more than normal smite

Not a lot though

[icy breach]

What are you talking about bruv? Perilous will link when it matters cause they all come in groups; you can always let them bunch up together for maximum effect
EP has freaking 3 charges; 100% chance on Elites together with 10% chance on ANY kill - you ain’t gonna ever run out of EP for dmg

[olive oar]

The damage you will be losing is for quelling and having to restart the smite chain as in the first two seconds it will deal way less damage. This is a very complicated interaction in the game that requires a chain of events that happens in the chaos of matches, so I can't categorically proof my claim nor do you can yours. So I'll have to use a fallacy here and make an appeal to authority on this particular matter as I am a dirty Smyker for most of my Psyker playtime and I can only give my experience on the matter.
My main experience with psyker is Smite, Blazing Spirit and Zarona Combat Shotgun.

[mental rock]

As a zealot main, all smykers are the same effectiveness. Because I barrel them

[steel flame]

ive seen him in here before but yall know who runs the psyker named dorfan

never playin havoc with him again thats for sure, glad that he is good at the game but hes a shit ass team mate

him and his scum buddy just fuckin left us, dumped every boss on us as they speed ran, and l got fuckin overheads lead into me 3 times in the same fuckin room

You wanna dump your team and run the map do it in a duos match please

[icy breach]

I invented venting shriek smite build myself; ran it numerous times with success in H40s (and so many other ppl too)
The dmg loss is non-existentant and as i already said; venting shriek provides many boons & covers many weaknesses that scriers can’t provide/fix

I have a guide detailing how & why aswell as a vid showcasing it in action; gameplay is proof enough why shriek > scriers
Wanna see them?

Not to mention; saw numerous scriers smikers losing due to what i described shriek provides (broken english but it is what it is); many were too stubborn until those things happened (they always stayed silent )

[dire wharf]

Damn, wonder if thats the duo I had an issue with. At the start of the map they just sprinted by literally everything and went for the elevator

[icy breach]

Many such bozos out there
Only solution; block & report & spread the word

[dire wharf]

I'm gonna go check, I'm pretty sure I blocked both of them afterwards

[deft stump]

I guess they didn't even mention speedrunning?

[steel flame]

Nope

Didn't say anything in chat, probably just gathering suckers to distract shit

I have speed builds, I would have happily swapped to one and sped around too but nah I was just bait

[deft stump]

Ah. I tried it, not good at 300 ping though.

[dire wharf]

@steel flame hey I got a question about your build you posted, how important is blazing spirit for the build? I don't have data but it feels like I do better with shred/unstable power vs shred/blazing spirit

[deft stump]

Best I could do I bait kite so someone can get things done then try to catch up or die.

[dire wharf]

Can you do anything about your ping?

[steel flame]

Bs leads to much faster soulblaze snowballing. Starting with 12 stacks from bs before shouting is more than 2x more damage than just shouting for 6

[deft stump]

Nope. Unless you count moving.

But then no budget.

[steel flame]

Plus it keeps your crit chance and Regen going when you don't have shriek up

[icy breach]

Note that this blessing cannot be procced by Force Greatsword's weapon special because it is technically not a melee attack.
Its about blazing spirit blessing
For Your information

[steel flame]

Yeah I know. If bs could be triggered by warp slash it would be one of the most broken things in the game. No I'm very much using it in melee

[dire wharf]

@icy breach thanks for answering the question I was just about to ask

[verbal thistle]

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

[cloud folio]

all zealot speedrunners are like this, there ar emore cheesers

[steel flame]

It was a psyker

[deft stump]

I mean, if they asked on it and everyone is okay is one thing.

But the point is they didn't to use others as bait.

[deft stump]

Oh, there is one way. But it means others play with high ping.

[dire wharf]

I hit my 20th auric match and came so close to having a.no hit run on the hab drayko mission. Fixing a machine on the phage tree and got hit by a sniper

[dire wharf]

By you hosting?

[deft stump]

Yeah, lul.

Most people don't like dealing with lag so terrible idea.

To be fair, GF and I are kinda used to bs lag.

Coming from a time were you don't even see SEA servers for big games.

[dire wharf]

You play asia & pacific south?

[cloud folio]

it's straight up not fun for anyone else

you should get out

if there are more than one

[dire wharf]

It's certainly not ideal, playing with high ping, but it can still be fun

I had a gazillion hours of counter strike on dial up internet

56k

[deft stump]

No, APAC central, is kinda dead when we do play lul.

[deft stump]

Depends on if you are doing 4 idiots running around. I just have 300 ping so I just usually bait instead.

[deft stump]

It absolutely can be if with friends. But pubs is bleah.

[knotty saddle]

when are we 4 smyking

:3

@fresh panther no you dont understand its actually public service

we can bait other smykers into our lobby, out of your public game

[fresh panther]

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

As long as you're doing this

[deft stump]

I rather play trauma at 300 ping.

And that's saying alot since trauma at high ping is god awful.

[quartz barn]

Dont you just shoot your feet the whole run?

[deft stump]

And not hit anything at all? Possibly.

[quartz barn]

Maybe, atleast you dont get hit

[deft stump]

I just die to a random gunner instead.

By the time I see I'm getting shot, I'm on the floor already.

Warning sounds come too late as well.

[kind jay]

the only fix is to have a lan party. pack up your pj's yall we're all moving in with karien

[empty granite]

does psyker have pirate outfit?

[thorn cedar]

Any outfit can be a pirate outfit

[jovial juniper]

Psyker does have peg leg

[empty granite]

even thi?

[dire wharf]

Yes

Psyirate

[hollow stirrup]

I love this more than words can describe

[steel flame]

The made reskin of the hood that matches the leather coat

Looks even better

They also made a psyker peg leg way way back

Havent seen that one come back in a while

[fathom adder]

Wear what you want cause a pirate is free

[olive oar]

As I said, game's too complex to have definitive answers and we are entering a competition to measure the biggest stick.

[dark pagoda]

really like the move speed node for scriers gaze

[olive oar]

Really nice, shame that the game hungers for our talent points otherwise would always have it.

[dark pagoda]

i think it has some value for getting ahead of everyone to max out your stacks by doming the basic enemies that get marked by the keystone

[jovial juniper]

Speedhead

🫵

Another victim of speed I'm afraid

https://tenor.com/view/they-got-him-ted-ted-show-gif-4342699035732514153

[wraith sphinx]

Not their fault being speedy is goated

[kind jay]

then there's me, with two slow weapons no speed boosts and barely sprint

just hold dubya and whatever happens happens

[rich spindle]

he uses a macro to qq cancel deimos m1

and inferno sprint cancel macro

[steel flame]

Saw that too

[rich spindle]

not a good player xD

[strong gulch]

The talent tree. #psyker-class message

Surge/ EK, chainsword, assail, crit aura, shield, DD

[fathom adder]

I played around a bit with macros in VT2 but they never worked well enough for me to bother with, do they require pristine framerate and connection to not fuck up?

Like the game eats my inputs regularly and I don't press buttons at macro speed

[rich spindle]

that happens

[kind jay]

latency and framerate are definitely factors but mostly a macro is just there to automate something you either don't want to constantly repeat regardless or do something you normally couldn't do for a prolonged period

[empty granite]

is there outfit that goes with this ?

[patent jacinth]

Low tier penance cosemtics

Dumpster wizard with a very nice stolen hat

[kind jay]

i wish there was a version without the mask

[empty granite]

https://youtube.com/shorts/HbFsE901qoI?si=C9G4YxcP5xH8kDun

[steel flame]

You have to tweak macros a lot. Darktide and vermintide have input buffers. setting the input loop speed to fast will just lead to eaten inputs and large gaps

[patent jacinth]

Holy shit this twink needs a sandwich

[deft stump]

Trauma returning...

[plucky flax]

The bubble will carry

[rich spindle]

inferno cannot be escaped...

[dire wharf]

@plucky flax do you know what skin that is on the bfg?

[jovial juniper]

Inferno got buffed 3 times in 1 patch

[formal dew]

Reject inferno, return to electro staff

[fathom adder]

Maybe someday it will even be good at electro'ing, instead of just shooting generic_proj at things

[plucky flax]

Bubble was there I guess

[plucky flax]

Modded skin

Meant to be Arthas from warcraft's skin I think.

200k soulblaze thief

[dire wharf]

Ahh

[naive crescent]

Which outfit is this?

[long wharf]

FartShack needs to bring back the OG surge staff

[tacit kettle]

Does scrier’s gaze work well with assail?

[verbal thistle]

yes

assail can crit

so the finesse is double effective + warp unbound

[tacit kettle]

Ty!

[empty granite]

Uhh i forget i bought it like 2 year ago

[empty granite]

This one maybe

[thorn cedar]

holy shit im gonna miss all this move speed when its gone

[fresh panther]

Is there something temporarily granting movespeed?

I did a couple matches yesterday and I did seem much faster than normal but I wasn't sure why

[thorn cedar]

yea the event

you get boosted while in coherency with somebody

[kind jay]

attack speed too

i wish these events got rotated in as mutators

just put em all in

[hushed vault]

@wooden sand

Oui 🇫🇷

[hushed vault]

Skaven Face reveal

[naive crescent]

sick! I need this

[restive slate]

I heard that Skitarii arc Rifle is gonna be like Surge Staff?

[static vessel]

Spamming m1 on flame staff today

I feel like im trolling

[serene stream]

• repeatedly waves imaginary fan at ragers/maulers- no hitting allies! now melt! 😄

[static vessel]

Yeah

I can just wak to them and they just die

[serene stream]

I love the inferno staff for that.

only thing it cant cc are crushers and bulwarks [reapers can be supressed, somewhat]

and monstrocities

[static vessel]

yeah

I'm using ONLY m1

and sometimes m2 by accident

it feels so wrong

[serene stream]

M2 is good for hordes of poxwalkers

It's okay to like M1, I recommend picking up the talent that applies stacking debuff that gives bonus dmg to your primary, on hit.

[static vessel]

Like I haven't already

lmao

I think Im gonna put flak on it instead

[serene stream]

flak is better, yeah.

[spice aurora]

how can i possibly be declined from every havoc group smh

[rich spindle]

Skibidi toile

[kind jay]

yeah it's definitely the helmet. you should be using the βruh helmet

[naive crescent]

Finally built my Psyker, this event is sick too gave me like 15k in mats

Also this class is so fun to play compared to when I played zealot, it was kinda tiring playing full melee actually

[dusty monolith]

ive got a 25% warp res inferno staff how much of a difference will it make to farm out the single digit one

[crisp ether]

And yet somehow I'm getting accepted being the only psyker mad enough to run heavy sword

Idgi

[dire wharf]

Probably not too much of a difference but it can be nice if you're min maxing

[olive oar]

Using it with Charged strike?

[crisp ether]

Ya

Zarona revolver too

[olive oar]

I see, for carapace... yeah, the bad thing of going for such weapons, and smite, is that we will have to have a dedicated anti carapace weapon.

[crisp ether]

Tbh with Scriers and all of the sauced up finesse

Heavy sword is not terrible at it

And there aren't as many carapace targets so

But yeah I'm still running revolver for that purpose.

[olive oar]

I tried the revolve for that, but my aim isn't that great, so I went back to the Eletrokinetic.

[crisp ether]

I will give a suggestion the

Toggle ADS

[olive oar]

what, so the button is held automatically? Didn't even see this option

[crisp ether]

It should be in settings for sure

Forgot exactly where

But yeah toggling is such a massive difference. All you have to worry about is tracking while your hand can relax.

[olive oar]

I guess I found, will take some dozen games to get used to, but this is great.

[naive crescent]

How often do cosmetics for sale rotate?

[white sky]

Every 2 weeks

[naive crescent]

Sweet ty not feeling the current ones

[olive oar]

Shame it does not hold smite, it's were I would need it most.

[crisp ether]

I mean I think it'd be kinda weird with smite.

Would definitely throw me off

[dusty monolith]

like 5-10% damage increase nice or less would you say

if its less than 5 prob not worth it to farm millions of gold

[dire wharf]

I would say its prob worth it

I'm having a lot of fum with my low warp resist bfg

[steel flame]

noice

[brazen warren]

hope we get more electric interactions after skitarii

would be cool

[earnest sand]

Remove smite 👀

[naive crescent]

Just unlocked auric, what to expect?

[deft stump]

Infinite bombers.

Kill 1 trapper, instantly hear another spawn.

To be fair, this already happens in Heresy to some degree.

[kind jay]

expect people to ragequit more

[naive crescent]

Dang lol there's already hella ragequitters in damnation

[kind jay]

the higher you go the less patience ppl seem to have. i exclusively qp auric and i get a quitter nearly every game. some of these guys will alt f4 if they're disabled for more than 3 seconds

[potent maple]

is gunspyker still a thing? just came back to the game

[kind jay]

it is

[potent maple]

have a build link? my talents were reset 🙁

[kind jay]

check the build bonanza in the pins it will have all the builds

[dire wharf]

Kill 1 and 2 appear

[naive crescent]

Yolo auric quickplay

[dire wharf]

This is the way

Get in the quickplay Shinji

[hallow karma]

Hi, I wanted to know what the best class for a Psychic build is

[rich spindle]

I'd go with zealot or arbites

[naive crescent]

Yay cleared!

[naive crescent]

hahaha get in the damn auric!

[plucky flax]

Pro

[naive crescent]

I died twice at the beginning though lol and got downed once near the end

[plucky flax]

Noob

[potent echo]

[naive crescent]

How much worse is Auric Maelstrom

[buoyant maple]

It’s chill

[naive crescent]

Yolo it is then

[dire wharf]

Just don't die

Then it's easy

[kind jay]

imagine getting hit

[naive crescent]

welp deadge

[plucky flax]

Every death you improve

[kind jay]

not the double whammy

[obtuse swan]

they should add rending to maleific momentum that scales like uncanny strikes used to

😼

[kind jay]

they should add it to mind in motion instead

[naive crescent]

3rd time got it! Idk I keep getting 1 shot by poxbursters gotta be faster at reacting

[marble crater]

Have you tried pushing them into your team?

[deft stump]

Oi! Stop teaching newbies bad things.

[marble crater]

What's bad about it?

[deft stump]

Pushing bursters into the team?

Unless it's 3 smykers.

[kind jay]

3 smykers + 1 arby dog that pushes it back into all 3 of them

awoo

[kind jay]

lmao just had a dude take off like a rocket, die, and alt f4, all in the first 45seconds

was like 4 rooms away

checked the vid, he got crushered

[radiant frigate]

wdym "take off like a rocket"

[kind jay]

you know like

speed, go fast, zoom, hotel? trivago

[thorn cedar]

shoulda checked trivago

[deft stump]

Too many ppl just speed off with the new buff to stay ahead for some reason.

[paper harbor]

Hey where the orc girl?

With curly hair

[paper harbor]

Kedregrien lefted

[dire wharf]

Sonic the darktide

[deft stump]

Very normal. I bring knoife on my psyker to not get left behind by scum.

[thorn cedar]

i just let scum run off

[deft stump]

Even if it's 3 scum?

[thorn cedar]

yes

well actually no, if it was three scum i wouldve left at the loading screen lol

total waste of time

[dire wharf]

3 scum in a trenchcoat

[paper harbor]

Scum are zealot in disguise

[deft stump]

Worse than zealots tbh.

Generally faster.

[paper harbor]

Yes, they much faster

Than zealot

So they speedrunning it

My friend i played with him told me leave him to die if he run ahead

And told me don't help him up

He do hate tryhard player

My instincts playing dt always make me help people who downed

It built in me for long time solo queuing

[urban meteor]

Worst class in the game

I don't even care if they're good or something

Every class has personality in such a good way

then scum is basically Overwatch Junkrat

Unsightly and uncool

[radiant frigate]

also faster at dying (no seatbelts)

[radiant frigate]

clearly you haven't met the outlaws

[polar pagoda]

I just got my pskyer to 30. What curios are recommended? I have +1 wound and 2 max healths

[lone ravine]

1 hp 2 toughness / 1 hp 1 tough 1 stamina generally for any class

[deft stump]

True. Is why rather suffer duos than pub at time, lul.

[deft stump]

Not really worst, but they attract that sort of player...

[paper harbor]

2 max health psyker like i play psylot

Meleeker

Having 1 wound curious would be safety net.

[deft stump]

No need, Just go 2 toughness and 1 HP.

[paper harbor]

Yeah if they are good staying alive even drop in game half of segment being corrupted

[deft stump]

+3 stam is more for knoife builds.

[deft stump]

That's why you get HP. Unless you go down, that 1 HP curio is enough to prevent instadeath.

[paper harbor]

I would say unlucky being down in a moment at sticky situation when dropped in game mid horde as team being downfall

A case like you see flammer flaming as you dropped, horde aggroed on the other guy, 1 dead 1 downed team

10% health gone, one bar corrupted

[deft stump]

Doesn't matter. Better to build not to go down.

[paper harbor]

Is mostly be skillfully not go down

Build is secondary

[deft stump]

Because going down doesn't mean team can pick you up.

[paper harbor]

Some player can go random build outskill the builds

[deft stump]

I know. They do no curios even.

The idea is wound is trash because you aren't a zealot.

You don't have access to Martyrdom.

[paper harbor]

Yeah yeah i know

I may state some thought wound are safety net

[deft stump]

1 wound when first starting is one thing.

Never go full stupid with 3 wound curios.

[paper harbor]

Except psyker

The crystalline will

[deft stump]

That's meme builds.

[paper harbor]

Yes a jihad psyker

[deft stump]

Even then, most people with that suck at doing it.

And they go down like normally anyway.

[paper harbor]

Is not for someone know how to play jihad psyker keeping peril edging to detonated the horde or elites

Is mostly for me

Im adhd enough to have reflexes dodge but if my fps doesn't get lag a slight twitch dropping frame

Even my instinct carried over space marine 2 game i never parry but dodge

[deft stump]

I mean, I play with bad FPS and what people consider as extremely high ping. It just happens. Doesn't mean it's worth taking another wound over more toughness or even stamina depending on your melee.

Since you should always be running 1 HP if newer. If you are pro or risk taker a +5% is enough... But...

[paper harbor]

I use wound incase im being zoned out and being overpressured carrying team on high horde with elites, incase i made a stuoid move "save your buddy" and down one hit from ogryn.

[deft stump]

If you are clutching, HP is far better than wound.

[paper harbor]

I could fumble when zoning out lock in

[deft stump]

I know. I had to clutch on Psyker. Ate so much chip that I just HP stimmed to gas to the next rescue.

Wound does nothing for a overhead if you are last alive anyway.

You are simply dead if you get hit by it since nobody to pick you up.

[paper harbor]

Well im not soloist im prone more teamplay

I do make lot mistakes rescuing people in trouble get myself down

Due to my instinct going foward revive someone

Just to met the horde of armor guy gang up

My brain sometime trouble slapping myself awake to reality instead being glued to the screen like im in the game chances I would die from zoning out.

At least i can vc talk to my friend giving lesser chance being zoning out

I feel playing high diff dt is really require hyperfocus

But teammate tend to move out cohesion a lot

[obtuse swan]

can we please have some blood psyker powers? i want to be able to use a staff that fires blood, and maybe a blitz that affects bleeding enemies stronger the more bleeds they have (brainburst would be nice)
a psyker that can inflict bleed, fire and soulblaze would make up for the loss of rending uncanny gave the dots

maybe it'd be a new class

a staff that does bleed stacks to damage would be nice, ontop of flat warp dmg / blaze

[urban meteor]

I know this isn't DT, but I just can't not share this

That's why I avoid these bots like the plague

And just the other day it said Assail and Smite are a good build

Genuinely stupid

[dire wharf]

@deft stump what curios do you use on psyker?

[paper harbor]

Hp, 2 tough saint would like use

Did mentioning 1 stam for knife

[dire wharf]

Combat knife?

[paper harbor]

Y3s

[dire wharf]

I wish that was an option for secondary weapon slot

Ooo

Plz bigshark

Force dagger

[void quarry]

Good god Pick n' mix is about to make me crash out

Brain burst feels like it takes too long to charge and one of three things happen.

1: the target dies.
2: they survive it.
3: they die to it.

[deft stump]

2 toughness, 1 hp or 1 stam, 1 toughness, 1 HP. Depends on my melee tbh.

Knoife is with stam for personal reasons.

THough you can just run 2 toughness 1 HP and be fine.

Mk6 knoife.

[quartz barn]

Main advice i can give is try vent purge missions

High chance of sniper waves, those guys instadie to bb and since people cant see they wont shoot them as much

[dire wharf]

I've been using 3 toughness, with force greatsword

[quartz barn]

Meanwhile you can just charge and have it lock onto them on its own

[deft stump]

I mean, you can. Just have at least 1 5% hp sub thing.

[dire wharf]

Is revive speed worth taking

[deft stump]

Some say yes, some say no. IDK. I run my usual CDR, Stam regen and Toughness.

[thorn cedar]

revive speed is for havocs

[paper harbor]

Rev speed incase someone down too often for me

I maybe get them back up quick when near some crusher or dreg rager

Sniper too

[dire wharf]

I'll probably just stick to auric for now

[silver wing]

ever since revive speed started affecting all help actions i put it on all my builds now

[thorn cedar]

yea thats what makes it really good nowadays

it's not only revive speed, it's for ledges and nets too

[paper harbor]

So is fs misdescription the curios speed thing?

Or they said applied all revive speed desc to have feature affecting action speed?

[olive oar]

I use these three as a shotgun enjoyer.

[olive oar]

I'm in favor of less experienced players to use a wound curio in Auric. It wouldn't do much difference the extra toughness/hp.
While they are downed they attract the horde attention as well. They won't stay most of the game dead because they still lack enough skill to dodge everything.
Of course that when you get at a certain level of gameplay you will produce much more value out of +toughness/hp trinkets, but there's a place in the learning curve of the game to use those extra wounds, otherwise they will just expectate most of their matches and will cause more team wipes for their teams due to their absence.

It helps to lift people of edges, nets... every interaction you have to help another player, they can make a huge difference in case everything goes wrong, of course for you to notice things had to go wrong at first place. I see that some comments here has a "get gud" bias.

i got 5 aquilas

what a waste lmfao

[jovial juniper]

Have you ever played Darktide with 5 aquilas on the line

[dire wharf]

5 aquilas, that's half a packet of corpse starch paste

[olive oar]

"Paste"? Get here your corpse starch packet, now with 50% more real water.

[thorn cedar]

it used to only be revives

[dire wharf]

Real water* *real water(tm) does not include H2O

[kind jay]

congrats on surviving the horrors of atoma so far here's a ketchup packet

[thorn cedar]

wow! an entire packet!

[clear sundial]

what level psyker becomes decent?

[jovial juniper]

At least 1 keystone

So

21

22

18

Something like that

Alternatively

As soon as you get assail

[dire wharf]

As soon as you get BFG

[dire wharf]

Maybe 2077 is the reason why I like melee BFG psyker so much, I mained a cyber psychosis katana ussr in 2077 religiously

[clear sundial]

I explode

[jovial juniper]

Rex sploded

[clear sundial]

whats BFG psyker

[marble crater]

Greatsword I guess

[dire wharf]

Blaze force greatsword

[kind jay]

FLAMMEN-MACHTGROßSCHWERT😡

[dire wharf]

JAVOL

[marble crater]

Jawohl

[dire wharf]

Danke

[spice aurora]

big fking gun psyker

[dire wharf]

I had 2 years of german in high school but I'm a slow learner

[marble crater]

2 years is not enough to learn German, I'm surrounded by native speakers who still don't know the language

[lone ravine]

i need to stop huffing warp on psyker, the movespeed buffs make me literally stutter around everywhere

[jovial juniper]

Speedhead

🫵

[paper harbor]

I considering if someone too good playing the combat in high difficult able to handle pressure, sure they don't need wound curio without making mistakes playing almost flawlessly.

Have 3 lives i considering just incase i made mistake fumbling gameplay from 'zoning out' 'loss focus' 'disconnected reality brain' and me playing hyperfocusly until i got hit myself downed

[swift eagle]

What are people running for melee psyker? I feel like my damage output has been kinda low with my current build and not sure if its my build or my play.

Or is melee psyker not the main goto nowadays?

[paper harbor]

My friend use force greatsword

He calling anti armor melee

[jovial juniper]

Melee psyker still cracked out of the wazoo

[spice aurora]

melee psyker builds run 90% the same talents, literally 27 of the 30 are basically the same

[swift eagle]

thats what im running

is what i have on my greatsword

am i supposed to primarily do melee heavys with it or light? maybe i just need to change up my playstyle to get better results

[spice aurora]

taking off warp dream or whatever and the shit on the right of it is tough

anticipation i think, both are goat'd

only use the no-overload at 100% scrier thing if u make use of it, if u just let it get to 100% and play normally then idk if its worth it

[swift eagle]

Warp unbound helps you do more damage overall doesnt it?

[spice aurora]

only if u make use of it

[paper harbor]

Warp unbound keep uptime of full peril without pop yeah

[spice aurora]

to be worth it, it has to be an attack that:

1. generates peril (otherwise why would anyone use it)
2. generate enough offensive output that it is greater output than swinging the sword itself

this could be like spamming assail at 100%

otherwise once u hit 100 u could normally just swing ur shit anyways and sit at high peril regardless

[swift eagle]

I'm guessing the rest of my build is pretty standard?

[spice aurora]

a lot of ppl like quietude

honestly dw about the builds too much, except take just a dream or whatever that dream thing is and anticipation, and play like a neanderthal and die a lot and learn how much u can push the playstyle

[swift eagle]

for the sword is it better to primarily use heavy or light attacks? out of curiosity

[spice aurora]

both

and push light. not push attack, but push light

[swift eagle]

push light?

[paper harbor]

Flow through attack after push

[spice aurora]

the first light after a push is a perfect horizontal, nothing else on the mk 6 does that except the actual special

[paper harbor]

Push attack is different than flow through attack

[swift eagle]

A push attack is when you're holding block and then attack?

also how do you block cancel out of curiosity?

[jovial juniper]

You tap block

That's it
It pretty much resets the combo back to L1 or H1

[swift eagle]

okay awesome gonna start practicing all of this.

[swift eagle]

you mean just a dream and anticipation? would i drop one with the warp then?

and then unbound to take those two?

[rich spindle]

one with the warp is probably the best defensive talent, I think 100% of builds take it

I would take off the small node you have on the bottom left instead

[swift eagle]

for the ranged damage but that either gives me dream, quietude, or anticipation

[rich spindle]

I personally skip empathic evasion

[swift eagle]

how do you handle ranged enemies then?

[rich spindle]

slide at them and rely on huge toughness regen and tdr

youre pretty much there anyways

you can play with this and experiment with the extra nodes

see what you like

[swift eagle]

so drop empathetic for like what quietude to make up for the toughness? and yeah im gonna

for sure

[paper harbor]

Will you able to slide dodge?

[rich spindle]

personally I do that yeah

[swift eagle]

I can certainly try and learn

[paper harbor]

Good luck

I unable to and being a contrarian

[dire wharf]

Currently mk6 BFG and heavy laspistol

[spice aurora]

empath evasion for me helps like 2% of the time but that 2% stops a game from ending when ur last alive in h40 so its like, very situational for me

its the first to be dropped tho if i wanna use smthin else

[paper harbor]

I think uptime critting melee killing melee foe for while being shot by gunner no one deal with it (they busy most time) did really bullet blocking me

[rich spindle]

agreed

[paper harbor]

But no enemy nearby you don't have bullet blocking benefit

Yeah is a sigh if attachments being khrone picking EE

Thirst for blood give power armor blocking

PbJ sandwich time

[spice aurora]

@verbal thistle https://youtu.be/L22NpczACws?si=IXxWJaEVciVSt5ov found 2nd time we played

i think it was my first skulllcrusherp poke

[rich spindle]

boink

[kind jay]

i like ee cause it lets me gamble. how long can i stand still in the middle of a gunner room before i don't get a crit for 1sec and get blasted

[spice aurora]

u can also drop the move speed on scriers, i always use it but a lot of ppl dont and when u get good at sliding u dont reaaaaaaally need it but it feels cool

[thorn cedar]

it is mandatory for the ultra high level mind in motion tech

[paper harbor]

Is more resources eating (by killing enemies that is near you) before you get eaten

My metaphor

[kind jay]

my thought process is: either they die or i do

[fathom adder]

Psyker with every movement speed boost and the current event is legitimately too fast

[dire wharf]

The event gives a speed boost?

[lone ravine]

like 40% buff at max skulls

[thorn cedar]

It's an insane amount, and very addicting.

[dire wharf]

Oh wow

How the fudge did I not notice

[lone ravine]

i thought my zealot was just really good, but no its just the crack khorne gave us to deal triple damage

[cosmic cobalt]

triple damage really save zealot from being shit

[lone ravine]

i did like 80% of a chaos spawns hp with one mk3 evis special and thought i was just goated

[kind jay]

you are goated

[little hare]

pls explain

[thorn cedar]

it cannot be explained

it must be felt

guided to you by the will of the emperor

(im mostly just memeing but the extra base movespeed + no movement loss on quelling just means you can hold/tap quell whenever you want while in scriers with no downside)

(pair up with Disrupt Destiny and Mettle's movespeed bonuses and you can walk around quelling faster than some characters can sprint)

[spice aurora]

its also an entire talent point u can use elsewhere, i always use it tho cuz its fun xD

[thorn cedar]

unless im using a staff anyway

as a gunker i find it kinda mandatory tbh

[dire wharf]

@thorn cedar what gun?

[thorn cedar]

laspee 2

[dire wharf]

Noice

[thorn cedar]

i have also opted for the shredder more and more

just for the sprint while firing

but it's utter dogshit against reapers and its ESPECIALLY awful against cranial reapers

[dire wharf]

Shredder is king when you feel the need for zoomies

It's also easier on the hands, with las being semi auto fire only, on consoles at least

[thorn cedar]

i mean

this is true on PC as well

its just those digusting, genetically weak and inferior modders who feel the need to make it automatic
