Classes and there roll in game

Sharpshooter - The most versatile one, very good at picking off range that ruins your day.
Ogryn - The tank, the one who will carry the team and grims and defend your ass.
Zelot - Insane damage very useful for taking down bosses and armored enemy.

Pshyker - well this meme sums it up,

Is there a point in me repeating that Psyker needs fixing ?

Sure, I’ll say it again.

Psyker needs to be reworked ot be more engaging, his role more defined, and his abilities more reactive.

Edit : I just played a game as a Zealot.
It is unbelievable how different the game feels, I’m actually having fun. I’m all over the place, running around, suppressing with my little SMG, charging in, killing left and right. This is dynamic, active, engaging.
In contrast, 70% of the Psyker’s gameplay is just standing there being useless, charging a lacklustre spell or venting.

Psyker either needs to have much more impact when he finishes casting something if the casting time is to be this long (so not just 5 enemies with a Palpatine staff) or have his costs (time and peril) dropped a lot if the impact of his spells is to be kept.

One or the other. Psyker atm is getting the worst of all options.

Ahh what?

The list looks more like this.

Sharphshooter - The most over powered class obviously played by the devs.

Ogryn - A worse Sharpshooter, with the sharp shooter having easily over 200 toughness at 30 and wielding the best melee weapon in the game e.g power sword, while also having wall hacks to see elites through walls and a Feats which make them the most powerful ranged class bar none, throw in unlimited grenades and its gg.

Zealot - A worse Sharpshooter, with the sharp shooter having easily over 200 toughness at 30 and wielding the best melee weapon in the game e.g power sword, while also having wall hacks to see elites through walls and a Feats which make them the most powerful ranged class bar none, throw in unlimited grenades and its gg.

Archeon,

You are just upset you play Pshyker arent ya ?

Power sword is not the best weapon in the game rofl you clearly have not try to use the 2H chain sword or even the 1H chain sword for that matter, lets not even compare it to the Ogryn shiedl and mace that makes u a living tank.

As for the shield its obvious why he has 200 based shield since his HP is lowered compare to Ogryn and Zelot and he is made to trade shoots with enemy range, all my sharpshooter trinkets are increase HP and corruption resist, if you care so much for shield just get shield increase trinkets stop finding excuses and blaming other classes.

3 out of 4 classes are fine they need to improve the Psyker and things will be decently balanced.

lol what? I main zealot, and that 2h chain sword is called the eviscerator which is pretty much a wet noodle compared to the potential of the power sword.

you clearly have quite literally no idea what you are talking about at all, try playing any other class other than the over powered one rofl.

Theres a reason why most veterans just go melee instead of range, and it isnt because their ranged is weak… considering they have the strongest range in the game, its because they also have the best weapon and best stats… seriously try another class.

Try stepping outside of your veteran bubble and read the countless posts on this forum:

I i`m playing zelot and he is OP as hell he dose insane damage the “eviscerator” has incredible cleave with the wide sweep and insane single target damage when you rev it up not to mention you are the only class in the game that can self heal if you know how to play your class.

You are the one that should learn to read your talents and play with them properly, i have high level on all 3 out of 4 classes apart from Pshyker witch at around 15 i saw how week he was compared to other classes.

People complain because how bad they are at this game and have no clue how to play there own class properly, i can see why you “main” zealot it fits you mindlessly charging and screaming, with out taking in to consideration the purpose of other classes.

enjoy the nerf veteran.

the darktide playerbase cant wait.

Seems like most of the complaints come from people who haven’t figured out their preferred classes strengths. Helps to change it up by playing a bit of all of them.

I do not agree with anything you write here. I have all classes on lv 30 and played them on D4 and D5. You seem to just whine for whining sake.
Every class has unique strenghts and weaknesses. You are obviously too hang up on toughness.
Ogryn is a support, with traits boosting Toughness regen and radius. He also has great stagger potential on most enemies, with both melee and ranged wpns.
Zealot is a horde clear machine and has Toughness regain mechanic with its ult.
Pick Flamer and Evi or Thunder Hammer and you see how different their focus is.
Psyker is pretty versatile with its staff’s, but excels at CC on higher difficulties as Palpatine and can be better than Veteran at taking out far out annoying range targets or most dangerous close quartrer ones, if you know what you’are doing.
Vets are designed as long range specialist eliminators, they are the first to shoot in the crowd and thus get the attention of ranged enemies, this is also why their toughness is highest. And Vets wallhacks work for your team when you select the trait…

Or from ppl who play only specific class and probably not perticularily well.
Then make wild claims about other classes after watching a YT video.

Saying that a Psyker is better than a Veteran at taking out ranged threats is the most absurd thing I have seen today.

At best a Psyker can lock down more ranged at mid-range with palpatine. Anything else is beyond their reach. Even the smallest railing or any geometry at all will full-block BB and most staves. Not to mention that a Vet can instantly down a sniper in .1 sec, while a Psyker needs 2.5 sec BB, OR a full 1 second voidstrike charge to be sure he gets through the railing ‘cover’ and does enough damage.

I don’t think you’ve seen a good veteran do his job.

What is even more funny is that this game has so many problems and missing feature yet people treat other classes like this is some kind of pvp game that they need to compete against its sad and funny at the same time.

I suggest reading with understanding:
“can be better than Veteran at taking out far out annoying range targets or most dangerous close quartrer ones”
If you see the rest of the post I also wrote that Vets are “specialist” take down experts.
Yet they cannot do that without exposing themselves and sometimes do not have LoS. in such situations Psykers are better, they need just a tag, back to cover and head explode. BB also staggers a target, including dogs and bombers.
If you look at Diff 3 and below, then yeah Vet makes a lot of engagements easy.
Things get a bit more dicey when he cannot 1shot-splode specials with a bolter anymore.
And yeah, I played with good Vets, I am one thank you :slight_smile:
It does not mean all randos we play with are very good.
On the same principle I can ask, have you seen a good psyker play ?

There is also a matter of what is best for you is not the best for other players. Ppl tend ot forget that not everyone is here for ranged combat and role. I somehow see those ppl gravitating more towards Zealot and Ogryn :wink:

Oh, so vets need to press the left mouse button again on diff 3+ ?
That’s tough.
Let’s see what a psyker has to do on diff 3+ on ranged targets:

  • BB once (not going to kill a special)
  • If peril is high - quell first
  • BB again
  • Hope that no-one kills the special before, so you have, at least, a small chance to keep your basic class currency (warp charges) in existence
  • Reroll vet

I mean sure, if you cannot or don’t want to play psyker, play whatever else you like.
Cheers and good luck to you reject !! :slight_smile:

Anything the psyker can do can be done better and faster by someone else. Mainly an Ogryn grenade launcher has more CC, damage, AoE than any Psyker’s staff, has a much higher fire rate and doesn’t need to vent every 3 ammo spent.

Have you played higher diffs with Hordes ? Ogryns wpns are limited by reload and ammo, tickle fingers psyker can stunlock a horde for a very long time. You know the more you play, more staffs with better charge time and quell speed you get.
If that is your take on it, it is fine jsut stick to Vets.
There are ppl though who can make Psykers work well and be a great addition to the killteam.
