pysker actually requires you to play the game like VT2, and use your block bottom and dodge well. So any psyker you run into who can do the heroic intervention and save the team is a grade A certified badass. Ironically, despite people not liking BB this is one situation its very useful, since you can engage at infinite range with no restriction on enemy type.

If you're constantly getting beaten up as a Pskyer, I'm guessing you're not using Smite. With proper peril management you can keep an entire room stunlocked indefinitely. Not to mention it instantly stops dogs in their tracks, stumbles pox bursters, and makes bombers drop their grenades. gently caress those green guys though. IMO Psyker's only glaring weakness in combat is its slow movement speed. Playing Zealot and then swapping to Psyker is torture. I guess there's that upgrade to Scrier's Gaze that you could get, but then you'd have to run Scrier's Gaze.

Uh so in the Archivum Sycorax mission where you are going thru the ventilation corridors, turns out you can Ogryn bullcharge fast enough to get trapped in a room with all the doors closed. Had to leave the mission because the team couldn't proceed with me stuck there and well I wasn't gonna die and mess with my work on 5 no deaths in a row!

I almost exclusively ran smite/dome/warp charges on my psyker for maelstroms, maybe brainburst for some staves. How is gaze and destiny since the patch buffs?

I did some Destiny runs the other day. It's definitely playable now - if you take the node that raises the duration to 10s you can easily keep it at or near the cap all mission long. It still suffers from the fundamental problems that 1) precision damage is kind of crap, and 2) it encourages you to kill random nerds instead of important targets, but ~15% damage all mission long is nothing to sneeze at. All you really have to do is headshot a shooter every 30s, if you think about it. e: Somebody with actual aiming skills could probably take the 25 stacks version, but 4s per stack is too quick for me. megane fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Apr 22, 2024 |

You can alt-f4 so you're replaced with a bot, then when you restart, you'll be given the option to reconnect, and you'll replace the bot that has since teleported to freedom.

Cretin90 posted:Raking fire? Ghost? What perks - crit chance and flak? I'm honestly not sure what to take for second blessing. Play with it and decide for yourself. Crit chance is good, but you don't need extra flak damage, it already destroys flak enemies. Imo maniac or unarmored, especially since that fat tox bomber gently caress is also unarmored and has more health than scab bomber.

Disrupt destiny did seemed bugged for me yesterday, not sure if anyone else noticed. I was watching for the buff on my list of buffs. Some missions the buff was appearing on the buff list as intended. But then other times I wouldn’t get the 10 second cooldown even though I had the talent. One time, after I died and got revived, it just failed to proc completely. Unless it was proccing and just didn’t appear in the buff list.

Discord pretty active? I generally solo queue but as I approach my "10 consecutive aurics with no death" challenge (Im at 7 or 8) I'd like to rely less on pubbies and more on competent teammates. I had a match last night where I had 14 revives/rescues because no matter how bad your teammates are, your odds of survival are still better with them alive.

thanks for all of the psyker advice. I was playing this build, but with a dueling sword and one wound and one +3 stam curio https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a6454b8-4180-4dc7-93ee-e817b21f25cc/auric-maelstrom-bubble-smite-support The extra stam was for saving my dodges for things that can't be blocking like mutants and snipers. I'd use the ranged block on the force sword if THE GAME EVERY DECIDED TO GIVE ME ONE. 60K+ melk bucks and I still can't get poo poo. A large issue I've been having withs mite builds is just the inability to kill stuff, especially weakened monstrosities and crusher hordes in auric maelstrum. I can do decent damage to them, and knock them on their rear end, but I don't have any 3-8 second kill options that I have one the other classes. I'll try getting my meat hooks on the block blessing, and using the block to peril conversion talent. I also have some pretty good trauma staves that I've shelved. Maybe time to break those out and give those a try.

My major gripe about the penances is that it shows how dumb some of them are. I'm bottle necked on ogryn because I need to run over 60 people with a bull rush, and charge like a super long distance within 20 seconds which I'm not sure how I'm going to pull off. Before i was blocked because I didn't destroy a corruptor's eye with a grenade box. Like, why would I waste my grenade on that?

Which blessings does a Kantrael shotgun like? I am coming back into Darktide and tried the shotgun on my zealot bolter build and it feels like it works really well just at a baseline level, but I'm not familiar with its pool of blessings.

It has a few builds, but imo the most effective and unique is the Scattershot/Flechette build. The only reason I can't just recommend it right off is it's gonna require you fishing for a tier 2 only blessing which means keeping a hawk eye on the armory or leveling a new zealot/vet and buying a bunch of shotguns to upgrade for a chance at it. You cannot get a t2 blessing at level 30 on a weapon, trust me I've tried. It's very good though, with the Infested damage talent Zealot can one shot hordes with a single flame shot if you crit thanks to the bleed+burn. Softens up mixed hordes p decently too.

I'm running it on a crit fury build so I'm already leaning towards crits, and the fire shot penetrating hordes has been a big appeal. I've liked keeping a red hot pepper in the pipe so if I need to shoot a special the first one applies the DoT and I really liked how it handled everything I needed a gun to handle as I ran a few missions to switch out of Helldiver brain. Finding a Flechette is gonna be a challenge. Thanks for the heads up!

You also need to add on a 25% Infested damage perk for the true one shot but honestly even just mostly killing an entire horde when it lines up is p drat good.

started playing again with the new update. pretty insignificant changes but enough for me. the new level effect gas is really stupid though. played the map with the shanty town and it very frequently gassed up in areas that were mandatory to go through, like at the elevator where you place the servo skull and have to scan things and on a bridge with no other path to the other side.

Today on aurics I had a psyker with 4 wounds getting downed every few minutes who absolutely refused to use med stations... I would drop the eye and location emotes next to it and type in chat for them to use the med station but off they'd go on 1 wound remaining (but not for long haha)

Deflector sword, but no stamina curio or Kinetic Deflection. I personally also much prefer the reduced peril node over the toughness regen node in the Warp Charges tree for staff builds but it's functional enough to clear missions at the end of the day I suppose. I would offer to try and improve the build for you but Surge builds aren't my forte and it sounds like you might be switching up your staff anyways. With the new penances it's a good time to experiment with different talents regardless.

Well fellas I finally got Rampage IV after probably 12 chainswords and the big boy is complete. In an ideal world I would swap finesse and mobility (I love swinging the chainsword in particular quickly) but I think every single modifier is extremely useful on the 1h chainswords. Im sure +2 stamina is also a technically suboptimal perk but I'm happy as it lets me run 3x toughness curios guilt-free.

I'm bad, or my items are bad, or my builds are bad because I can't do Aurics reliably (it's me, I'm bad). So I'm trying to get some endgame weapons finished on my psyker and the loot roulette is such a loving chore.

I've been rebinding keys since coming back to this and I wanted to share a little innovation I've cooked up. So I used to have dodge on space and crouch on ctrl, and I always had a bit of a hard time hitting dodgeslide consistently, it often felt like I just wouldn't go anywhere, which you don't want out of you evasive actions, you know? So since I'm reacclimating fresh I figure, now's the time to solve this. So what I did was, I looked at where my thumb naturally rested on the spacebar, which is just under the B key, and I put crouch on B. This way when I want a big dodgeslide I overpress space a little bit, I press space to dodge and then B basically the same time and I get the timing really consistent. Jump is on ctrl for easy mantling. W+Space is nothing so tap shift to run and use the same input across space and B for forward slides. It's really opened the movement up for me. Just thought you'd like to hear about this little innovation.
