@@bananobot you get less peril, which in turn makes it harder to get over 50% peril, which in turn makes your shriek weaker (you need to be over 50% to get 6 stacks of soul blaze). So a BIS Stuff would be everything 80 expect for warp resistance
People have no clue how good standing at a door way spamming left trigger with a purg staff is but ive been doing it forever and you genuinely dont have to worry about anything not even bursters cuz everything gets staggered infinitely. I also love when I pop venting shriek and random elites and specialist die that you cant even see at the moment.
Great video, super informative and well explained. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining mechanics and actually showing what you're talking about. Can't wait for the full build video tomorrow!
Awesome. Thank you. All weapons today can be aquired with 80% in everything but 60% in one (empowered to those full numbers). So it would be cool if you were more clear on what you think should be the Dump Stat on every weapon going forward. Keep em coming man, you're killing it 🍻
venting shriek also goes through any LoS blocking Terrain, so can pre sten a room of gunners if you know they are there or knock dogs off people through walls floors and the like it's a super shove on top of all the other little techs you talked about.
With autistic shriek the kinetic resonance uptime is near 100%, I find it very useful against high density gunners. Would you mind doing a part four where you talk about how to alter the build and play for bubble in havok? Thank you for enabling weapon buff icons while showing off weapon buffs.
here is the thing: you don't need bubble in havoc with this build. Shriek has a range of 35m. Most rooms are smaller, so you can becom immune to gunners. You will need to be in front of everyone (thats where you want to be anyway) to protect your team but it is doable with this setup. Additional: i don't think you can do this as effective without shriek. You need to dump your Peril every 10 sec to have the highest dps
4:42 "I'm sensing fear, rage, and emphatic evasion. No, not emphatic evasion, EMPHATIC EVASION. LOOK AT ME NOT THEM!" It's funny because sensing fear and rage is empathic. Cool guide now I gotta go roll a bunch at Brunt's.
The staff even has a surprising amount of passive boss damage just from getting the max stacks on the boss. Consistently end first or second in boss damage in 3Vegs just by mindlessly flaming a boss and throwing in some dueling eye pokes.
With the current build of the game, I've noticed that there's a ton of inconsistency with the Mettle node when it comes to this staff. The only time I'm seeing the buff apply is if the hit immediately following the left-click is a crit; any subsequent crits from a continuous charged attack do not apply the buff. This is completely different behavior when compared to a gun which refreshes the buff for every crit (as you'd expect). And yes, if the buff doesn't apply, you also do not get any toughness back. This could be a bug, or perhaps it could be balancing choice since the flame is impacting many more enemies than most guns can.
This is a bug from a fix that they made due to left click quell cancelling gamers because every target cleaved by the primary gave a stack and toughness back when it crit so instead of getting a full toughness bar from a single left click they made it so it only hits once per left click. This probably nerfed right click with spaghetti code so it can only happen once on the first target hit during a right click which is sad.
I feel so vindicated. I've been a purg staff enthusiast since day one (i even named my psyker Charizard before i ever even used the purg staff because it just looked so cool in the gameplay teaser videos) and have heard so many people say its just a worse version of the trauma staff with the fire on crits blessing and those 2 fire spreading nodes. Plus it just feels good to use, its so satisfying to have an infinite flamethrower.
quick mention about the start, mostly about the "burn above 76% does nothing" bit, just remember that fatshark does change values of items from time to time, and will probably change the values of the purge staff fairly soon, so get whatever stats you want as high as you can, because next update you might need burn at 77% for it to be useful.
Great vid. I think I'll give purgatos a go one more time. The past time I tried it - the problem was it is too slow. Before I can burn that pack of ragers (Aurik Mael), they are totally eviscerated with some crazy zealot bolter. Or plazma. And Crushers are well fed a buncha dueling swords. So I was feeleing kinda lacking, coz everething exept horde was dropping way faster than I can do meaningfull damage to them.
If you use the vent to push it over the soulblaze cap, can you keep flaming them with the staff or will it bring the cap of soul blaze back down to the normal cap before the vent?
So i am wondering if it would be worth to skip couple points (warper expendicure, battle meditation and quitude) in exchange for lighting attack and souldrinker?
Hey Tanner. Please think about the way you use stims and build uncanny. If you put max stacks on the enemy, then use your ult and then use stim or build uncanny, the enemies are overstacked and at the time you are done stacking, the enemies have the same soulblaze count as in your example. So you gain the dmg your soulblaze did overstacked, where in your way you stack soulblaze to max, let it run down as you build uncanny and then stacknit to max or a bit higher again. I hope you can follow my thoughts there 😅
People always tell me that assail can kill snipers when I talk about brain burst but they fail to realize that assail has limited range and doesnt lock onto enemies like bb does. I can jump over a horde, lock on with bb, kill the sniper, and then go right back to killing enemies with purgatus. You are not killing a sniper with assail thats not pinged thats like 70 meters away in some obscure ass place on the map but brain burst doesnt care where they are. You also run into the problem of throwing an assail charge at something and not killing it but the enemy has moved and now you dont have los and in that sense its like baby brain burst without the lock on. People truly have no clue how useful brain burst is and there are many times in games where all im doing is managing snipers or various other threats at range with bb and because it has uimited range nothing can stop you.
HI! I have a question. Warp rider grants a 20% damage increase. So why don't I see the numbers with BR for example? it does 2k to mutant and 2200 on max peril. Why? Smth like this with everybody who can survive it
Brain Burst is a bad blitz because of teammates having 2 braincells. 90% of the time even on highest difficulties, you'll be charging a BB on a special or elite and a teammate will kill it himself, leadind to a loss of time and DPS for you.
Just spent 500k for a god roll, 1% Warp Resi, 54% Quell and the rest on 70-75%, went to equip the staff but couldn't find it in my inventory and freaked out! 😂 Had to delete a few staffs, guess the inventory has a display limit 😅
"Part 3 is coming tomorrow, I'll talk about the actual build for this", bold of you to assume I didn't redo a few things to my own psyker to match your own skill tree (yours and mine weren't very different right from the start) and play with it already when you released part 1 (it's stupidly funny how much I've been sending hordes into oblivion since).
@@ghoulbuster1 Yeah, but vets in pugs are very inconsistent. Most of them struggle even in melee, you can't rely on them to deal with ranged threats. Purge staff seems like an amazing tool in an ideal team composition, but unlike Tanner I don't play DT with a pre-made and I am definitely not dodge sliding 500 times a match to get into effective range of my staff or melee. Not to mention that every DT map seems to have at least one fuck-all unnecessarily big open area where snipers and gunners will just bully you. And when your entire team is dead - which happens way to often lately - and you have to deal with all types of enemies simultaneously you'll wish you brought any other weapon.
I agree, 1 greeneye can kill you in 2 sec from max i am not confident to go without shield. With a full pro team maybe it will work, but then you can play anything with 3 pro...
This is awesome. Just started playing on PS5 release and was not really liking psyker until I found your first video on this staff. Is there a reason to keep warp resistance so low, or is it just a resource management thing? I get how the bars work stat-wise, just unsure of the reason for keeping warp resist low. Edit: Thanks for the replies, all of you helped clear it up! I even managed to craft a single digit warp res with just a few tries!
You keep it low because the staff is takes ages to build peril otherwise. You'll vent, and by the the time you get your next vent back you'll be at 70%, or worse you get it back in like 3 seconds and dump most of your peril and have to actively build it back up
Warp Resistance being low allows you to build Peril very quickly. Psyker recovers toughness from both generating and quelling Peril, plus you are granted various benefits for being at high Peril (up to 20% More Damage from Warp Rider, 33% Toughness Damage Reduction from One with the Warp, Crit from blessing, etc) so it's just generally nice to be able to build that up quickly and maintain it at that high level primarily through Venting Shriek.
Brain Burst is a bad blitz. Definitely. Fatshark dont nerf it- I mean. To a early level psyker it's not too good but im sure it's pretty alright at later levels and such. Just not there yet
Please can you tell me if and why my similar purg build is inferior? Purg: Flak, Crit, Warp Nexus, Blaze Away. Knife: Carapace, Crit, Flesh Tearer, Uncanny. Remove: Soul Stealer, Warp Expenditure, Seer's Presense, Empathic Evasion, Essense Harvest, Warp Battery. Add: TDR, +10 Attack Speed, Souldrinker, Prescience, +5 Crit Chance Boost, +15 Toughness Boost. My overall thinking was that I can reach max stacks quicker with +10 crit (also riposte not required for knife) whilst generating more toughness with Mettle along with Souldrinker so Soul Stealer and Warp Expenditure not necessary. I don't feel warp expenditure does much with purg as you're at 100% peril alot of the time. I also don't rate Warp Bettery that much as it's only 8% extra dmg (but good for inner tranquility), extra crit just seems better? I know I have to take +5 TDR but at least if I take +15 Toughness Boost it scales even better.
You picked just so many awful modes like giving up seers presence makes this worse off the bat and not empathic evasion? That's insane near constant gunner immunity is broken. I'm not even gonna touch the other stuff since just those 2 changes have gimped it
Since when was brain burst ever considered bad? Big stacks brain burst 1-2 shotting crushers and getting the free instant procs was the OG meta build. Anybody who says brain burst is bad either 1. sucks at using it or 2. has no clue what they're talking about
@@alexsitaras6508 you cast it, gets the animation, sounds, visuals, but nothing happens to the enemies, no knockback or soulblaze, so its like u never had an ult to begin with and it can really fuck u over, it happens when u slide, and happens quite often, my friend dotNL uploaded a vid on they're reddit and reported it somewhere between 1-1.5 years ago now
Brain Burst is terrible it takes like 10 seconds of charging to kill a single gunner and God Emperor forbid I actually use the lock on feature, because an Ogryn is just going to kill the gunner by throwing a rock than start screaming "Go brain burst boy go".
@@TannerLindberg the ability is niche it is too slow for killing hordes of anything but is perfectly usable against 1 or two snipers. the biggest reason it is seen as good is that it competes with smite and not assail. if You could chose between assail and brain burst and still pick up psykinetic's aura everyone would pick assail.
@@broomhatter3877 the only time you pull out BB is for snipers or a single gunner very far away, you dont just use it every time, the staff and ult can deal with anything else. You can also dodge and use BB while behind cover without needing line of sight after locking on.
@@Arclbo where are you getting this not as consistent. an aimed assail is capable of killing a sniper in a single shot from any distance and it is a lot faster at killing multiple snipers than brain burst.
Well now that the ranged problem has been solved, i see no reason not to run this. I might need the mod to not have the flames blind me, rip my team mates though
But that's good, don't worry about most kills, if you are killing all the specials, then you are allowing your team to do damage without getting trapped or pounced on etc
@@Arclbo Yeah, but it's still expensive as it is rng if the weapon will be useable. I'm flat broke in darktide atm just because I tried to roll a couple of nice weapons.
After testing this I'm not seeing any great benefit to being over 75% vs being at, say between 50% and 75%. So getting to 75% in one cast vs two doesn't feel like much benefit. The difference in crit rates and toughness damage reduction feel negligible to me and rending at high peril just doesn't factor at all. I'm not personally able to create a scenario in game where I can shriek between every cast and the low peril resist staff just makes me manually quell more often and only slows down my dps whereas a high peril resist staff with empyric resolve keeps me casting much more consistently without needing to vent. The direct damage ticks from the secondary charged attack kill everything but crushers much faster and more efficiently than the dots do. Like, the staff has all the things dead that it is efficient at killing long before the stacked dots can be useful. What am I missing? Maybe it's the crusher thing but I just don't see the dots stacking reliably and by the time you get the stacks of rending placed on a crusher ro make the dot effective you can just have the thing dead. Are the rending stacks you're putting on one crusher getting applied to the dots on the others? EDIT: Don't get me wrong, the staff is great and has largely been slept on for a long time. Just not seeing the low warp resistance benefit.
Why not use one more node from brain burst that triggers brain bursts with 10% chance on hit to elites and monsters? With the amount hits flame staff does, i had many times when it I cleared packs of crushers and maulers extremely fast because they all got brain damage, it's basically guaranteed on them, very often on gunners, shotgunners.

I’ve never considered not leveling a staff fully to be the optimal play. Really great vid
I figured that was the way to go for the force greatsword, but I never thought to apply it to staves. Makes sense though.
Is there a downside when you upgrade to max? Or is it just a waste of resources?
@@bananobot you get less peril, which in turn makes it harder to get over 50% peril, which in turn makes your shriek weaker (you need to be over 50% to get 6 stacks of soul blaze).
So a BIS Stuff would be everything 80 expect for warp resistance
spending MILLIONS of dockets on this to get sub 20% warp res is clinically insane but absolutely worth it to optimize this build. Very informative.

I also love when I pop venting shriek and random elites and specialist die that you cant even see at the moment.
Bursters have a window that they cant get stagger after beeing staggerd. Fucked me over in the beginning.
@ eventually they will blow up from the soul blaze and especially if you venting shriek into the crowd
I agree
Facts, brain burst slander needs to stop
I don’t understand how it ever got any hate. It’s the most useful blitz in the game, arguably.
Great video, super informative and well explained. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining mechanics and actually showing what you're talking about. Can't wait for the full build video tomorrow!
Awesome. Thank you.
All weapons today can be aquired with 80% in everything but 60% in one (empowered to those full numbers). So it would be cool if you were more clear on what you think should be the Dump Stat on every weapon going forward.
Keep em coming man, you're killing it 🍻
Thanks for your advice. Helped me a lot.
Was lucky to roll one with 0/60 Warp resistance today :P
Final stats are 80/14/80/80/80
For getting stacks of uncanny strike, you can push attack with force sword if the crusher ball is too spooky :)
Part 3 waiting room
venting shriek also goes through any LoS blocking Terrain, so can pre sten a room of gunners if you know they are there or knock dogs off people through walls floors and the like it's a super shove on top of all the other little techs you talked about.
well now I can tell people it's the best staff for real reasons instead of just "haha spoopy ghost fire"
With autistic shriek the kinetic resonance uptime is near 100%, I find it very useful against high density gunners.

Been using this build since completing all penances for psyker, works awesome!
My fellow fire staff enjoyers are eating good
Curious what suggestions you'd have to balance the staff as well
The weirdest thing about this is that a weapon below 500 is the meta, that's crazy to me
With the current build of the game, I've noticed that there's a ton of inconsistency with the Mettle node when it comes to this staff. The only time I'm seeing the buff apply is if the hit immediately following the left-click is a crit; any subsequent crits from a continuous charged attack do not apply the buff.

This probably nerfed right click with spaghetti code so it can only happen once on the first target hit during a right click which is sad.
So what's the maximum warp resist you'd accept, because keeping it at or below 20ish seems difficult to achieve easily
I feel so vindicated. I've been a purg staff enthusiast since day one (i even named my psyker Charizard before i ever even used the purg staff because it just looked so cool in the gameplay teaser videos) and have heard so many people say its just a worse version of the trauma staff with the fire on crits blessing and those 2 fire spreading nodes. Plus it just feels good to use, its so satisfying to have an infinite flamethrower.
Yeah it's always been good. As with most weapons, knowing how to best use it is what makes the difference and most people have slept on the staff.
I loved it from the start because it was a good crutch. I didn’t realize how DOT stacks worked in this game.
Very informative. Been using this exact speccd staff on one of my Psyker builds & always feels like easy mode.
I'm here for my daily dose of Tanner
Rolling that staff with those stats is harder than any auric maelstrom mission.

would love to know too
@@spizC lmao the mod is called "i wanna see" its up on nexus
Funny thing is that the L1 macro for staff also works on this, which makes it so u can spam/use Primary attacks alot more and faster
What mod are you using to have invisible flames?
I realise that dueling sword is meta but what are your thoughts on the new force greatsword?
Have you tried if Opportunist on e.g. the shock maul affects the purg staff?

@ You can grab a snipers head with bb 70 meters away and walk behind a wall and kill said sniper, you cannot do that with assail.

@@TannerLindberg the ability is niche it is too slow for killing hordes of anything but is perfectly usable against 1 or two snipers. the biggest reason it is seen as good is that it competes with smite and not assail. if You could chose between assail and brain burst and still pick up psykinetic's aura everyone would pick assail.
@@broomhatter3877assail isn’t as consistent at killing shit like snipers, purgatus staff does everything else.
Why would you pick assail?
@@broomhatter3877 the only time you pull out BB is for snipers or a single gunner very far away, you dont just use it every time, the staff and ult can deal with anything else. You can also dodge and use BB while behind cover without needing line of sight after locking on.
@@Arclbo where are you getting this not as consistent. an aimed assail is capable of killing a sniper in a single shot from any distance and it is a lot faster at killing multiple snipers than brain burst.
Well now that the ranged problem has been solved, i see no reason not to run this. I might need the mod to not have the flames blind me, rip my team mates though
got a most kills build. I wanna fuck up the scoreboard. I'm getting most kills, but if I focus on specials so we win I get second :(
But that's good, don't worry about most kills, if you are killing all the specials, then you are allowing your team to do damage without getting trapped or pounced on etc
YIPPEE
yipie
purge left spam = be gone poxbomber!
next time you might want to put that warp resistance dump stat/dont fully lvl the staff info in the FIRST video....
I mean i do mention it
It costs nothing to max a weapon out lol
@@Arclboit costs much to roll the perfect weapon again.
@@lastnamefirstname850 he didn’t roll a perfect weapon though
@@Arclbo Yeah, but it's still expensive as it is rng if the weapon will be useable. I'm flat broke in darktide atm just because I tried to roll a couple of nice weapons.
How big fov

I didn’t understand how having low level quell speed is helping can you explain this
It just doesn't matter 10% quell speed is like 10 frames of difference you can't notice it
@ ok but having it Upgraded anyway is no a mistake then ?
@@theooprs Upgraded quell speed isnt bad, but you dont want to upgrade more than necessary because you want warp resistance to stay low.

After testing this I'm not seeing any great benefit to being over 75% vs being at, say between 50% and 75%. So getting to 75% in one cast vs two doesn't feel like much benefit.
The difference in crit rates and toughness damage reduction feel negligible to me and rending at high peril just doesn't factor at all.
I'm not personally able to create a scenario in game where I can shriek between every cast and the low peril resist staff just makes me manually quell more often and only slows down my dps whereas a high peril resist staff with empyric resolve keeps me casting much more consistently without needing to vent.
The direct damage ticks from the secondary charged attack kill everything but crushers much faster and more efficiently than the dots do. Like, the staff has all the things dead that it is efficient at killing long before the stacked dots can be useful.
What am I missing?
Maybe it's the crusher thing but I just don't see the dots stacking reliably and by the time you get the stacks of rending placed on a crusher ro make the dot effective you can just have the thing dead.
Are the rending stacks you're putting on one crusher getting applied to the dots on the others?
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, the staff is great and has largely been slept on for a long time. Just not seeing the low warp resistance benefit.
Fuming, I will see so many other Purge staffs.
But they won't be good, sad
@avalokiteshvara113 if I see more than one Psyker in a match I write it off as a just for fun failthrough
guh?
Why not use one more node from brain burst that triggers brain bursts with 10% chance on hit to elites and monsters? With the amount hits flame staff does, i had many times when it I cleared packs of crushers and maulers extremely fast because they all got brain damage, it's basically guaranteed on them, very often on gunners, shotgunners.
15 second cooldown
Only happens every 15s wow huge
I'm so happy to see this build getting deep dive Tanner! ty 🤍
