The verticality is really similar, I'll have a vid of it soon, but it could hit a DH below you for sure, but not behind. Another thing that could possible do that is Trauma-Blaze
IMO shriek has always been good, especially if you're a shock build. the ability to just get some extra damage out, dump your sanity while ALSO making space is pretty powerful
@@derschwarzebalken The front section is like a big semicircle sphere, then the cone, I think to make the initial push more effective, otherwise, if you shout, enemies that the cone would pass by that are right in front of you could still make contact since the cone would cut out the ones to the left and right area, so they do a bubble (think force sword shield but bigger) and then the cone on top of that. In the Darktide discord, we have some drawings from testing different scenarios last night (psyker section)
I kinda always thought that shriek is just AOE around THAT makes way more sense, i wonder how well it hits stuff on different elevation/half cover/cover in general
It does not, we did just about every test possible with it, it makes a hemisphere in front of you and then a cone shape width and a sausage shaped height, and does not change verticality based on where you are looking, it always has soulblaze up and down
I never use Venting Shriek for the Shriek, only for the Venting. It's so worthless as an offensive tool and the pushback on it is so minimal it may as well not even exist.
Darktide: venting shriek *produces 100-200 damage* Also Darktide: **PoxWalkers have 300 HP** Darktide: Venting Shriek *produces 6 stacks Soulblaze* Also Darktide: **6 Stacks of soulblaze equate to 204 damage** Sheild support will always be preferred by your teammates
Now i need someone to yell CLEAR BACKBLAST everytime they vent
And yet it somehow always manages to hit the Daemonhost directly behind you on another floor.

Wow, i always thought it was more akin to Siennas counterpart from Vermintide 2.
Fuck the shield, im going shriek.

this video gave me a half chub
thanks
I'm both flattered and impressed, no problem XD
@@skudie also, any clue as to why the shriek is hourglass shaped instead of a cone?

@@derschwarzebalkenthink the energy is being concentrated and blasted out a megaphone in front of the psycher.

it also goes through walls, so if a teammate gets hit by a dog you can just look in their direction and vent
Oh man I went through a whole analysis of this on Discord 😂
HOW. you have to not play the game to not know how it works
@@jUppers shriek does minimal damage, and if you don't run fire on it, you literally will never notice how it works
Cool I thought this was just a screenshot you posted on Discord, I didn't know you had a whole video of it 😮
Hope you enjoyed it!
Smite + venting shriek + Perilous combustion = 600-700k damage an Auric dam run.
I swear that shriek is inconsistent af, sometimes its a long ass range sniper scream sometimes it just doesn't work
can you make one with psyker in the middle? i'm pretty sure the immediate area of effect extends to the back and sides in an orb. no?
It does not, we did just about every test possible with it, it makes a hemisphere in front of you and then a cone shape width and a sausage shaped height, and does not change verticality based on where you are looking, it always has soulblaze up and down
Curious..how do you get that camera angle in the Psykhanium? Didnt know that was possible.

I encourage aggressive use of high cooldown warp rupture to compliment an impact based build.
Psyker has so much weird tech.
