I wrote a bit of an essay on Empyric Resolve here darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d193e5e-a68d-4ae2-b83c-464d91277430/high-warp-inferno-havoc-40-verified

@@MeowBeep_ holy shit man, your build recommendation is nuts. just cleared a maelstrom and almost had more total damage than the other three players combined, and they were high level players too lol. Not sure why people dont take empyric resolve, no issue with survivability and just constant blaze everywhere.

Mod

@@helioselexandros what mod tho

@@yaboyjeff4122 It's a version of Peril Gauge I hacked to do the crosshair thing. I'm currently away on holiday, but there is a sightly older version of the hack on my discord if you want.

It's more for fun rather than perfectly optimized, but it is very fun and fairly effective. darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d9da1cb-d42f-4bba-878e-541a8bbe82f9/special-maxing-gfs-meleeker-w-sb-synergy

@@MeowBeep_ do you have a build that is optimized for the blaze force greatsword?

It's called quell canceling. If you tap quell between each left click the rate of fire is a lot faster. If you value your joint and nerve health, you can use a macro to repeatedly press them for you. Inferno staff is limited to about 2 per second, which is fairly achievable by a human. On the other staves a macro allows you to go much faster than humanly possible though, so using such a macro has a bit of a negative reputation amongst the young and nimble fingered community.

You do realize anyone can do the exact same thing in the game (without mods or macros) just by repeatedly tapping left click then quell (thumb button for me) about two times per second? That isn't particular fast, or complicated, it just puts a lot of strain on your nerves and joints when you do it frequently. If I didn't use a macro to automate repeatedly pressing those two buttons in sequence, I would just do it manually. My gameplay would be identical, the only difference is that I would need to take a month break after each week of gameplay for my hand to recover. I know because that is exactly what I did when I first discovered quell cancel tech. Would you really be more impressed if I were repeatedly pressing those buttons manually?

@@MeowBeep_ prove it then. Let's see you have identical gameplay.

@@Big_Honker I'm not going to do that because I care about my hands. The best you'll get is ua-cam.com/video/oLSLtIZDYiQ/v-deo.htmlsi=3DPK0SIWD-Sah0wS to show I could do it well enough that it wouldn't make a difference, if I didn't care about my hands.

@@MeowBeep_ hahahaha play a different game is you cant handle it, have to change game mechanics that arent broken to be able to do well, ok.

@@Big_Honker Again, I'm not changing the mechanics. I think I'll just continue to have fun playing this game, sorry if that upsets you disgruntled internet stranger.

I'll be sure to test and correct the sound levels properly next time. It was quite disheartening when I played it back and realized my mistake.

Pen Flame isn't "not good, in a vacuum". It is just significantly worse than an easily accessible and executable alternative, making it "not good, in context". If you don't like getting up close and personal with a pack of crushers then you probably will find Pen Flame more useful. Another limit/downside of Pen Flame that I didn't mention in this video is that: If you are quickly sweeping to apply max stacks in a wide arc, then hardly any stacks of brittleness get applied. With Nexus you can fairly reliably apply the full 15-16 staff stacks with a single full secondary to the whole pack as they approach, after which point continuing to using Purgatus is fairly low value. Deimos' 125% rending, 20% power, and spiky melee damage is significantly better than Purgatus' 20% brittleness, 40% power, and slow direct damage. So switch to melee, use special to max peril, then use shriek to interrupt the first crusher overhead (and overstack everything) and instantly follow that by triggering the charged special into a weakspot to safely (because everything is staggered) get four instant(ish) uncanny stacks. After that it is just a matter of using the force push and the H2 followup to maintain uncanny while the overstacks with 125% rending rip through their health Each melee killing blow also reliably triggers PC to push the overstacks on the rest up even higher. If you look closely at that 60 sec clip I recently posted, this is more or less exactly what I do to finish off the 10ish Crushers at the end. For CIVI in particular, you can swap in the Carapace damage perk (in place of Maniac damage) on the Deimos to make this strategy even stronger. Wildfire is probably at the top of the list of talent points I want to substitute out when possible. It is only really necessary when playing next to either; a voidstrike/voidblast with Blazing Spirit, any staff with Shriek, or just anyone using wildfire for some reason. When I do drop Wildfire I'll most often add in one of: Essence Harvest if I want more toughness regen, for when I'm lacking teammate's with yellow toughness. Kinetic Resonance if I want fast BBs, for when my team lacks good long range tools. Prescience (which costs an extra point to path through) if I want max crit%, for when I expect to frequently front line gunners and so need EE to be most reliable, and/or when I have many/most teammate's running crit builds. A second Purgatus is by far my least desired teammate. If either of you are good then the other is mostly dead weight. If I see a Purgatus sibling, and I have time in the pregame lobby, I will swap over to my GFS for fun (WIP) build [ darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d9da1cb-d42f-4bba-878e-541a8bbe82f9/special-maxing-gfs-meleeker-w-sb-synergy ]. Warp Battery is (was?) also on the list of talent points I might substitute out for some reason. It is very much a snowball talent that only gets reliable value when enemy density is high enough. If the enemy density is sparse, or your teammates are just particularly efficient murderers, you often won't get back above four warp charges quickly enough between Shrieking on cooldown, or you just won't need to shriek on cooldown, to get its full value. When the density is sufficiently thick though you often get back the full six warp charges within a few seconds after each shriek, and then WB really shines. Unsurprisingly, I'm finding I always want it in Havoc.

@@Torinatorr Thanks, I'm considering doing a couple more talking videos in an attempt to share everything I know about Purgatus in one place. Do you know if the solo mod perfectly replicates all in-game mechanics? If so I'll use that to get the best of both worlds in future videos.

@MeowBeep_ It doesn't unfortunately because it doesn't have real server MS. It's best to do live duo games for meaningful testing, there are a few maps you can force NPC death and it's fairly effective.

@@Torinatorr Good to know.

Shriek adds 6 stacks when peril is above 83.4. It can go up to the global cap of 31. The staff won't refresh over stacked dots. I explain and demonstrate it here ua-cam.com/video/4Ls2-YjlqO8/v-deo.html&si=f8zQuSmoZrrQxUPr

Maybe you mean the bulwark still gains the soul blaze dots? Because inferno flames definitely don't penetrate bulwark shields. That how you get the tech for shooting slightly over or beside the shield to spread the dots (and directly damage the bulwark sometimes). In the case you are just trying to defend Tanner, I find it pretty funny for you to dismiss the psykhanium lol.

You just aim for the head with bulwarks infront of you and they will die. Sometimes they dont even do the attack animation depending on how much you charge the staff.

@@kk5612 lol you are talking to dotnl, level 3000 psyker... i highly doubt he knows who this tanner dude is

@@nd-xu4en fml this is how i find out it is sarcasm....

Minmaxing is enjoyable, you just don't personally like it.

@@elibeeblebrox1084 Cold take. I enjoy min-maxing. I think arguing about it doesn't do anything to add to either the understanding of the game, or the profile of the creators. You can stick to your assumptions if you wish.

@@medication7857 I talk about and explain this in the video I uploaded today about mechanics. It's fairly near the end if you want to skip to that part.

Excellent. I understand. Do you ever use quell or just quell through shriek?

​@@medication7857occasionally I still quell a tick here or there. It's sort of a judgement call when you want to hold off using shriek because you think you'll get more value using it soon rather than now.

@@kassahi9714 Peril color is through Peril Gauge mod, with custom edited thresholds and colors. I don't use a slide macro or anything fancy. I just have 'hold to sprint' bound to the same key as 'move forward' so I can just hold w and tap shift to chain slides.

@@MeowBeep_I’m on Xbox and using a keyboard and mouse so you use shift for crouch?

@@helioselexandros Yup, Shift to crouch, Space to jump. I rebind caplock to also be shift, because my pinky is quite clumsy. I use esdf instead of wasd for directional movement. Q for stim. A for deployable. W for interact. R for special. T for auspex. G for ult. V for ping/wheel. Lmb and rmb normal. Wheel up for equip secondary. Wheel down for equip primary. Wheel click for equip blitz. Front thumb for auto swing. Back thumb for quell (aka reload). Unfortunately on console you can't augment that with mods or macros to make a few things more smooth. If I press and hold Q, A, or T, it will equip and use them 0.2s later. Wheel button is the same, so I can equip and lmb cast BB just by holding the wheel button down. I feel like most of that functionality should be put as options for the base game, maybe one day.

It should work pretty fine with the greatsword.

The team was fairly stacked with chill af mfers.

I uploaded a video of it being used in Havoc 40 last week, it works extremely well in a chaotic environment too. ua-cam.com/video/wp6CMxzJUtw/v-deo.html

@@tyber_roman313 if u play only random auric damnation u woud know that ppl die constantly and situations like this happens often at least for me.

Yup, it is in my reply to the next comment.

He's using the special action just to generate peril. Lower Warp resistance, more peril generation.

Mr1337Fabulous is right, using the special action on the very low warp resist Deimos is one of the quickest ways to get to high peril.

​@@MeowBeep_so why else u woud use deimos over dueling sword? Only to gain peril fast? Or whats the trick here?

@@U.U-lw4ee The main draw is the significantly faster peril gain than even a 0 resist staff. It's also the fastest to build uncanny stacks with a special attack, and is also able to build or refresh them at considerable range with the force push. It also let's you run the unstable power blessing, so you can still get 20% power boosting all your dots while doing melee things. The 360 degree push is fairly nifty too. Finally, it's damage is nothing to complain about. It hits the mutant one hit kill fairly easily, and will drop a crusher in a couple of hits.

@@MeowBeep_ do u have indepth video about this where u explain it and show how to do it ?

I've seen a recently crafted purg staff with 14 and 80s. So getting one with exactly identical stats to mine is still possible. And as equally possible as getting such a staff. Much like quell speed, you can afford to lose some stat points in mobility on the Deimos too. Afaik there is no mod that changes empowering on for PC, so it should be equally possible on console.

@ i guess I’ll just have to look more but I dont have that many millions of ordo dockets anymore but ill eventually find another one incase I want to play around with it.

@@infrared6973 After a while there is literally nothing else to burn the ordos on, so you might as well be burning them in a 0 warp resist lottery. The question in the end is whether you should play purga lottery or the force sword lottery (or I guess now also the great force sword lottery). The Purga lottery is far more popular due to misinformed content creators and group think, but the force sword lottery has a much better prize. Even in a build without ER, being able to instantly jump 36 peril at the push of a button is build transforming. A very low warp staff feels, at best, less bad. The Great Force Sword option is really interesting, it has even better peril generation than the Deimos. It can hit about 50 peril per charge. Unfortunately, for my play style at least, its lack of the Uncanny blessing rules it out. In general its strengths have more overlap with the strengths of the Purga, while covering less of the weaknesses, especially compared to the Deimos. If you were in love with the GFS though, it could work very well. It would certainly make dipping into that right wing of the tree for Souldrinker fairly tempting. In most situations Soulstealer is just better, but the exception is when you are frequently getting melee killing blows because they don't trigger Soulstealer, but will trigger Souldrinker.

This is Darktide.

Maybe if you upload some of your "meta" gameplay we can finally decide on whose build is better?

I have to agree with tanner here minus the ad hominem attack. Just mentioning that it is good is enough. Sure there is some high level optimization where you gain as much peril as possible by running the deimos or using brain burst or whatever you can for high peril (or even blocking with the talent). And tanner has repeatedly stated that uncanny supercharges the damage.

@@MeowBeep_ yooo thanks fam

@@kk5612It's still always an autopick imo. It just means getting direct dmg kills with melee or blitz will reliably trigger it.

Very low warp resist on the staff is fairly popular, maybe even considered meta currently? Personally I prefer to run very low warp resist on my Deimos. It gains peril considerably faster than a low warp resist staff, as you can see in this little clip. With only 14 warp resist, even with -40 peril from ER, it goes from 0 to 84+ in 4 special charges. It is the quickest way to get 84 peril for max Venting Shriek when need. The real benefit is that I then have enough warp resist on the staff to help sustain between 80-100 peril while shriek is on CD without needing to constantly stop attacking to quell. It is a 'have my cake and eat it too' solution, which is my favorite type.

@ due to the current crafting system you can no longer find a really low warp resist deimos with the ability to make every other stat high. Maybe you can but ive tried and was unsuccessful. My deimos has 34 warp resistance because I never took the time to farm enough deimos before the crafting changes. I dont think its possible to find a low warp resistance deimos without needing to substantially empower your weapon to increase something else to a respectable level. Also I like using the dueling sword because I regularly mess up getting to the heavy 2 of the deimos in a pinch or when killing mutants. I do like the weapon im just not proficient with it. My deimos is decent it just doesnt have warp resist as low as it could but its still serviceable.

Why do you think I don't?

@MeowBeep_ your right haha. It's kind of obvious.

@@amagideon1 It's a personal hack of the peril gauge mod. I'll upload a zip of the latest version on my discord channel in a minute.

It was very frustrating to miss so much of the final event. It was actually the first time I'd run into disconnect issues in Havoc, and of course it was for the final event of Rank 40.

Practice makes perfect. Empyric Resolve is a very greedy pick that mostly comes down to whether you can get away with it without dying. There is plenty of yellow toughness going around in the Havoc meta though, which covers the toughness penalty fairly well. So as long as you're killing enough elites/specials to let them spam VoC/Relic often enough you should be fine. If your teammates struggle without booble then the runs can be pretty rough. If there is already a Brittleness Trauma Booble on the team, then imo Purgatus Shriek adds far more value than a second booble. So if your Psyker teammates ask for loadout suggestions, I'd get them to run Rending Shockwave Trauma with Perilous Combustion + Smite + Booble + Warp Changes + In Fire Reborn (which you will feed), and absolutely not Wildfire or they will gut your dmg.

@ I have a trauma setup with bubble and a purgatus setup with bubble and im using empyric resolve juat to squeeze more out of purgatus and it helps alot. My only struggle right now with havoc is horrible teammates who arent using proper builds for the difficulty but at the end of the day its supposed to be hard. Im at 22 right now and you do get the occasional players coming down from high havoc to play. IM hosting my own lobbies and im just trying to pick havoc levels close to mine.
