Background: I played DT during the pre-launch period(s). I’ve played it since before launch, during launch, and still to this day. Roughly 1000 hours, about 650 of which were spent as psyker. I only play damnation+ and I used to, with ease, solo damnation HI and STG and barely even take a scratc…

[image] Perilossus: it is not my opinion, as the numbers do not lie I admit, I’m a sucker for numbers from an official source. Please share and I’ll have a look through.

[image] Perilossus: Please, just please, watch this from Tanner. He shows it and describes it better than I ever could. From 12:14 to 17:05. Oh i remember that tanner guy. Someone linked a video a while ago, where the dude rambles on about how rending works, yet he does not actually underst…

I actually went and watched that. And aside from minutes of pointless ranting, he says that Smite is game saving when you need CC or space, but useless against hordes and even harmful when you need to get the enemies into a chokepoint for easy cleaving dmg. I don’t mean to be rude here but… was som…

[image] TakoyakiGremlin: i was never into damage builds this game is literally dealing more damage than you take. youre constantly out dpsing the enemy. if you fail to do that, you stall and slowly lose the match. dealing damage most efficiently is literally the game. support classes are an i…

From most of the replies here, why do I get the feeling people are conflating easy to use and good? Or is it me separating them a tad too much? I come from a E-sport background, and hadn’t played a non-competetive game for almost 9years before Darktide, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Sure, a lot of pe…

[image] Perilossus: Sure, a lot of people use smite to make the run easier, but that does not necessarily mean its the best option, aka meta, right? Off the cuff, I think the top “meta” builds across all classes probably don’t include any psyker builds. Teams taking some combination of plasm…

There’s nothing lacking in psyker damage output, its the total lack of any safeties like huge TDR the other characters get. This is why other characters are preferred in the insane mods, you can make literally dozens more mistakes without dying. This doesn’t really mean anything more than the huge d…

It was obvious they were going to be in a terrible state, they nerfed the Assail, the only staff that was useful, all because of the complaints from veteran mains. But the real issue is that the psyker had few viable builds before the nerf, and they nerfed both of them. It’s the same with the zealot…

[image] DeathLD: they nerfed the Assail, the only staff that was useful Are you implying that Assail and Voidstrike are bad now? lol Idk what’s worst take between this and the ‘smite is garbage’ guy

So...what happened to Psyker...?
