Love smite, but people need to learn to get with the program and take advantage of the CC stun and revive teammates, focus on high priority targets, or regroup.
I actually think Smite is the best psyker blitz and I don't think it's even close... Except people don't actually utilize the fact that it's a giant AOE stun. If you spec for it you can keep multiple large scale threats stunned for 10+ seconds which should be enough to just clear anything.
But instead they just take assail.
If I have teammates that rez and focus targets it's wonderful, but I'm taking smite just as a pause button. Fire it off when we're getting pushed hard and give the team a few seconds to regroup. Even just for that, smite is absolutely worth bringing to a team.
@@dankevill1010I don’t see assail as much in the higher difficulties anymore. Smite definitely is some OP cc that’s rly nice to have when huge packs of ragers or crushers come knocking. Plus since it doesn’t nuke frame rate anymore it’s worth taking.
Personally I use brain burst so I can chain kill all the gunners bc I hate gunners, and I run trauma staff to still have cc against tough groups.
People just stand there. Can’t figure out how long the stun is up for. Get it together people
@@dankevill1010 Counterpoint: psychic knives are cool. Smite is objectively better from a team point perspective thorough.
I seriously enjoy watching the way you play, and learning from it. Thank you
Been waiting for another psyker build and this is amazing
I have one build very similar to this, but for ages I couldn’t break away from using the power swords. More recently I’ve been using the fencing swords in some builds with success. The added speed and dodges you get is great. I’m now going to try using a dagger for even more dodges and speed efficiency. This just makes so much sense synergistically. Thanks for the inspiration and the many violently poetic combat videos you make. I follow a number of these channels, but none of the videos of Darktide are anywhere near so entertaining and visually compelling to watch as what I’ve seen on this channel. They have taught me a lot about playing on high tier rounds. You deserve more subscribers.
Been running this build with soulfire shriek. Its great to watch all the jolting poxwalkers casually twitch and burn before spreading onto the others.
Was just thinking about running this combo. Now I have an example of excellent play to check out before I do
never thought to use the combat knife on psyker before. always thought the duelling sword was a straight upgrade but i never considered the bleed dmg for bosses. great video too
Try illisi V. It's great for killing horde/small fries, keeps you safe. Surge is good enough to deal with single targets.
the dueling sword really is an upgrade, the knife just has better mobility/sprint speed and better dodge distance, so if you like playing fast like choco does then definitely use the knife, its mainly just for the added mobility though so i don't recommend using it for close range fights, you just do not have enough stamina on psyker to be tanking hits with it in case you get clipped by a horde.
combat knife is thing for psyker for a long time, ppl spam push-Attack with it.
Yeah, well said. You really sacrifice your horde/melee clearing capabilities when playing with the knife when compared to the Illisi. (knife has 12% dodge distance and the maccabian 8% I think?) I personally think the Illisi, with uncanny strike as well (best melee blessing? you get 5 stacks quickly even with just light attack spam) and slaughterer is probably among the strongest add clearing weapons in the game. Even surpassing the ogryn bull butcher in terms of TTK. It slices through everything and you practically never have to block. But the Illisi has -0,8% dodge distance? it's horrendous. + no sprint distance. It chews through the 3 stam bars very quickly. I can't think of anything that is less mobile.
Of course deflector has always been good. And ChocoB really shows a lot of it has to do with preference and playing style, (using smite against hordes instead of melee - but then you're weaker against unyielding with no brain rupture) as I would never use the surge staff without 6 warp charges & inner tranquility. Or play without mettle. (when in extended melee, you barely have any peril unless you picked Scrier, so no toughness regen and a single hit takes down more than half of your toughness on Damnation. Just one crit can regenerate 15/20% toughness against hordes with the Illisi.)
I have yet to try out the Maccabian with Shred & uncanny strike though. The bull butcher is so strong as it regenerates toughness on chained hits (every 2nd hit?) so in theory the shred on the maccabian can add even more crit to it. It's not as good vs hordes as the Illisi, or as quick at dispatching them at least, but you do get more range/crits (compared to knife) and plenty of mobility. Still, the new knife transmog from the shop looks really good.
Only a few weapons can roll uncanny strike though. (+1 for the veteran shovel) but it not only slices through everything, it can also deal with carapace very quickly.
The biggest downside for me so far when using the surge staff and the Illisi are rager packs in short corridors. And here the difference in skill really becomes apparent as I get overwhelmed too quickly. Can't really dodge enough times or run away in time (they just chase me down) the surge can't hold them off for long, especially if you're already half way into max peril. I can't block my way out of it. I struggle against this, whereas Choco always manages to create distance. Just my two cents.
@@NoorAgafia2 cents? More like 2 dollars. Either way good analysis I run Surge staff macabian mkV assail with warp charges and bubble shield. Keeps me covered on everything.
I kind of like the idea of the knife for the extra mobility. But the dueling sword is close enough
29:24: to the Ofryn: We thank you for traveling with heretic airlines! XD
Never knew ogryns could fly xD
29:20
with double triple poxbombers? yes rofl!
It’s art
Thx for this 🤝
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!! CHOCOB!!!!!
It's funny to see i wasn't the only one that got the idea of pairing those new psyker huge ass gloves with smite builds.
chocob senpai greatness!
Excellent, as always! What are your thoughts on the new knife for Psyker and on the Purgatus Staff? :)
quite an interesting combination. I used to think smite was an inferior vision of surge. I will give it a try
Staff is more of a small cc with damage and smite is huge cc with little damage
8:53 omg xD
oh yes. this is the one ive been waiting for. sadge that i cant play like madge lol
I'm pretty new - why heavy attacks w knife while sliding instead of letting heavy attack momentum kick in then slide??
have you tried the left keystone? I find the peril reduction invaluable for channeling smite. really easy to keep stacks up and as psyker you dont tend to use active much so they tend to be up the whole mission.
also done any playing around with the chainsword? knife is pretty great if you already know how to use it (and you are amazing with it) but chainsword kills mutants with a single shred and builds up bleed super fast (with the blessing) now that you can dodge out of the shred animation for better bossing.
Choosing between Warp Siphon (left keystone) and Empowered Psionics (center keystone) somewhat defines how you intend to utilize smite. The peril reduction paired with frequent use of venting shriek ensures you can use smite for significantly longer periods of time, but at higher difficulties an unamped smite (even with extended duration) doesn't deal enough damage to finish off even a groaner. This is not to say that Warp Siphon is useless, just that smite under this keystone becomes strongly weighted towards support rather than offense, and can have questionable value when you're not accompanied by a team that utilizes your crowd control effectively.
As for chainswords, I'd assume that they're being avoided here because chocoB needs a weapon with high sprint speed and chainswords don't fit that bill well. Also if you've trained your technique well enough that you can do a kill a mutant via combo attack in the same time you can rev up and swing a chainsword to one-shot it, it doesn't make for a very appealing alternative.
Honestly wish I was this good with psyker
What's the dump stat for the staff?
Choco I wanted to ask, what are your graphics settings I have a 4060ti but the game still has pretty horrible framedrops just out of no where.
Pro
thanks for this show. Can we see you build plz? which talents did you choose?
builds in the description
@@cirkus9088 , i've missed it, thanks!
you could say that this build is _shockingly_ good 👉😎👉
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I always wondered why you push so far back when you’re in a clutch situation. I think I realized it now- is it because nothing will spawn “behind” you in the level? Meaning any new specialist/horde spawns will always be in the next zone, and never from a previous zone (unless it is “ahead” of you)?
Well you can either push forward, stand your ground, or fall back. Pushing forward is bad cause it will aggro more stuff. Standing your ground is often unwise, cause stuff can overwhelm you. Falling back as you fight gives you space to control the pace of your engagements.
@@hatstealer4638 To connect this to the question:
There are periodic spawns and progression spawns, to which the former happens regularly (hence the name) and the latter happens upon entering each section of a map. When you push forward, you're exposing yourself to both spawn types as well as the existing roamers (frequently an overwhelming volume). Standing your ground can limit the roamers but while chiseling down the existing enemy, you might set off progression spawns somewhere in the area.
Falling back prevents engaging roamers, saves progression spawns for later, and has the added bonus of accessing resources you may have left behind previously because you didn't need them the first time around (medicae stations, ammo, stimms, etc). There's also the matter of the terrain being less than ideal to engage the enemy and a more ideal area being behind you, which would require relocation.
The extensive retreating seen here is a trained habit of prioritizing safety over greed. It's possible to fight more aggressively and thin the enemy so that you don't need to fall back so much, but it comes at the risk of taking even more hits (hits that in these instances would result in a game over). As many 'tides "instructors" would say, it's better to give up ground than risk taking damage.
I'm seeing them pop through the Surge...is this still before the Surge fix (doubt) or does Smite still affect the gibbing despite not being used anymore? (Tox Flamer at 2:10 for example)
Both have gibbing.
Smite has always had gibbing, then it was added to Surge staff later since it was cool.
Hello, probably a dumb question but why venting instead of shield?
Burn hordes and extend smite most likely
I heard the surge staff was dealing less damage than intended. Is it fixed?
Yes, it can no longer hit random limbs as of 1.2.12, ~2 weeks ago
My fav build. Has everything you need
I tried knife...it's not my thing. Maccabian IV just seems better for me.
Is Trauma staff dead?
Smite is the reason why I main Psyker.
Large ass wave of poxhounds, poxbursters or mutants? Smite the crap out of them and let your teammates decimate them all. What are the heretics gonna do? Cry?
Sudden hordes with lots of ragers and crushers? Sprinkle in a bit of smite and let your problems electrify away.
Psykers who only stick with assail because easy damage or kills and then get downed a stray bullet uo their cheeks can suck it
can you do spitfire psyker next XD
Surge is awesome, and smite is awesome. But I find taking them together leaves you with no actual damage especially at range. Those first minutes with the mutant chasing you kind of proved it as it took forever to kill it because you had no tool effective against it. Muty doesnt care about flinches and stuns
I suppose this build has unlimited power
You should try out warp charges with the reduced peril upgrade, makes smite last 20 years
Oooh, good idea! I've been running with an Empowered Psi build on my Smite psyker all this time and peril generation is definitely the biggest struggle the build has.
I never reduce peril gen because it also reduces toughness gen
@@zanetusken well you're technically still generating the same amount of peril and toughness, just at a slower rate. you should be good as long as you're not getting shot at-- and if you are getting shot at, the horde can act as a meat shield.
also, less peril generation means possibly more enemies killed by your smite before you have to quell! which is a lot of toughness to be gained assuming you picked up the soulstealer node. sorry for text wall, i drifted off while typing.
@@MachineWraith Empowered Psi is so bad on Smite to the point of discriminating.
@@zanetusken but Warp Expenditure is perhaps the last you should pick from all 4 touchness reg nobes. Crits, kills, and quell are so much better.
How did that crusher die at 8:27?? Choco just irl brain bursted it I think
I forget if you can get the auto brain burst chance on hit without actually running brain burst
Chip dmg from the staff and bleed from the knife
@@zanetusken nope, u need to have brainburst to get it
I like your videos but it's super suss that all your teammates are always dead
16:09 i dont get why people run so many wounds, its like you expect to die, funny thing is on zealot, I feel like you die the least on that class.
It's because of a zealot build, it's called martyrdom, basically the more missing wounds u have = more damage, swing speed and dmg Reduction so if u know what u r doing ur almost immortal and with so Many wounds if u do go down it doesnt affect u that much
Can psyker solo run doe
ANYTHING can solo in Choco's hands
Smite doesn't look very impressive, still depends on other weapons to deal the dps.
