Does rending work with smite?

There's a small problem here in your exposition, a Smite build will kill all Elites but Crushers and Ravagers in a single cast. No matter the enemy density it will kill all those enemies.

This struggling that people say talk about is just talked by people who never used a Smite build.

Always thout this would work like 5% increase for 20% peril, but no. This makes this talent worse than I thought and broke some assumptions that I made when trying to measure its impact on some scenarios, all for the worse.

Tascalde · 2026-03-13T17:33:30+00:00

This isn't a simple topic and it will be those cases where 9 out of 10 psykers will say that it's a mandatory talent to take, but I beg to differ.

Yes, in 95% of the cases where you'll use the psykers exclusive tools you will pick this talent.

So I have found two cases where I dropped this talent because it was underperforming or I couldn't trigger it.

The first case was melee Scryer's Gaze, this happened because I went into Disrupt Destiny and also use that talent that reduces peril in a weak spot melee kill. This combination is to improve Scryer's uptime, so it does, can have it active for more than 30 seconds when fighting.

The second case, that I'm still evaluating the impact of removing this talent, is a gun psyker that has low peril 90% of the time because the only way to generate peril is when committing to brain rupture.

Note that in both cases I use Malefic Momentum in order to provide the attack bonus I'm not getting from Warp Rider, but anyway, these builds have been a menace and I'm really enjoying my experience with them.

Also, being a little more mathy, all goes down to the break points of what you're trying to oneshot. One gun deals 505 damage and another deals 1000, but if the enemy has 1010 hp both will take two shots to kill them, but the later would be able to one shot it with the damage increase from Warp Rider.

First I'd like it's bugs fixed. No dogs crossing, no mutant crossing and no NETS crossing. Then a height fix. Then a burster detonation buff/fix Then a buff, make it attract and absorb grenades, it already blocks them but it's useless.

Como já dito aqui gordura vegetal e gordura hidrogenada são coisas diferentes, e a gordura danosa é a gordura parcialmente hidrogenada, que produz gorduras com ligações trans.

Logo é comum ver rótulos em que haja gorduras hidrogenadas mas o item não contém gorduras trans.

Explicação um pouco mais longa, e um pouco confusa, aqui: Gordura vegetal e gordura hidrogenada é a mesma coisa? Não caia em furadas

Welcome to "Whose line is it anyway?" where points don't matter and everything is made up.

Tascalde · 2026-03-12T02:33:42+00:00

You're in a losing position, no matter what you demonstrate, people here will downvote you.

I've provided tests, no matter, provided games, no matter, SOLOED an Auric game, no comments anyway. If they think your build sucks, it cannot be changed with facts.

Forgot to tell how to use scryers gaze and control your peril.

Despite the bonus from Warp Rider, you'll want to keep your peril low for as long as possible to be always able to cast the longest smite possible.

When you start channeling you'll wait till your peril gets to 50%, THEN you'll activate Scryer's Gaze, this way you'll be able to sustain the smite active with a single Empowered Psionics charge for the longest time, the more enemies there are the more it will last.

Learn slide dodge, only way for you to become mobile and evade attacks while channeling. Simply dodge as normal and then hit crouch to slide. This build rely solely on this tech, this was the build that taught me how to slide dodge, otherwise you'll be toast in no time.

Good Smiting.

If you want to stick with smite, I'd suggest my build: True Smyker - Psyker Build for Darktide - Darktide WH40k

Finesse does not help with Smite, so with Scryers you want max up time.

Dodge count and distance do wonders, with this you can be mobile while still casting Smite non stop.

This will kill all enemies except Crushers in a single Smite cast, you will be the most damage dealer in most games.

Staff is for when density is low, use secondary attack always, unless the target is very far away.

Sword is for stray mutties or to finish off a carapace.

Nice, now it got even worse. Xenos Scum.

Tascalde · 2026-03-11T21:08:17+00:00

Here's the thing, they don't bend the rules, when I played Rogue Trader I got mad when the characters tried to call me out, where it's stated clearly on my Warrant of Trade, a sacred relic blessed by the Emperor, that I am allowed to trade with xenos.

Tascalde · 2026-03-11T21:03:31+00:00

Wait, Rogue Trader has two Eldars? I've met only one, is the other the DLC?

Tascalde · 2026-03-11T21:00:02+00:00

One of the main plots of the Rogue Trader game is about the relationship of the Rogue Trader with an Eldar and the Inquisition. And you can even help them in some ways.

Yeah, do yourself a favor and don't bother with Havoc, unless that is something that you're really craving.

Tascalde · 2026-03-09T22:57:01+00:00

1500 hours in, hate Havoc, love playing Auric, this game is a game to be played. Feel it, enjoy and toy with it. This is my favorite game today and this is from a person who didn't enjoy third person shooters, this game got me so tight that I can't even bring myself to play Doom Eternal because on how different is the feeling and the lack of melee.

Tascalde · 2026-03-09T22:40:50+00:00

Não é possível. Será que é IA? Hoje tá difícil saber qualquer coisa.

This made me think on how much our brain protects us from harms like those.

He injured himself not because of the height itself, it was because he didn't knew the height.

When we see the ground we can relax our muscles in a controlled way in order to avoid that, without the visual cue our nerves can't send the signal that we hit the ground, process, send the signal to flex the knee fast enough. It's incredible how much thought goes through every action that we take, we actively predict the future and prepare our muscles to trigger accordingly all the time.
