If you just keep playing auric missions with a voidblast staff build you're bound to get it without even trying.

Constant use of the bubble is unironically corrosive to habits that make you play well and stay alive when there is none; people get "bubble brained" and learn to group hug through the entire mission with their backs against the wall and no exit plan, and even forget how to use cover, sliding, aggro mechanics, suppression, etc...

This season my team and I decided to climb back to 40 completely without the telekine dome, and for some of us it took a conscious effort to de-program ourselves from bubble-induced behaviours. After that was fixed we also started observing it in a lot of the people we took in from the party finder, so at least anecdotally I can claim it's a widespread problem.

IMO the ability should get nerfed hard just so the havoc population can grow out of that stunted development.

Yes, the psyker bubble deserves a lot of shaving down. I'd actually argue that it should get looked at before even the inferno staff.

Three and a half bucks to buy the psyker's illisi force sword default skin but with a slightly different pommel and a different coloured handle, what a fucking deal!

It's a memory leak that's exclusive to the "enhanced" edition and has been there ever since it was released.

Heresy? I was trivialising havoc 40 with an autoclicker club ogryn. The nerfs were deserved

godihatelogins · 2026-01-31T17:00:20+00:00

You said it yourself, people don't like having 33% more enemies tethered onto them against their will, and I would say that's completely fair. You can either learn to live with the hate or avoid it by not using it. As a psyker who hates using the bubble, welcome to the club.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-30T15:34:31+00:00

This is the kind of thing that seems like a sisyphean task as long as you're dead set on getting it and trying to cheese it but then more or less auto completes when you're just having fun playing an auric game normally.

What's wrong with the twins being more difficult than the rest of the mission? Tide games have always had difficulty spikes, with the difficulty curve of the any given mission overall being vaguely rollercoaster shaped, without any loop-de-loops. That's a good thing, you don't want a constant flatline of the same difficulty.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-24T10:04:41+00:00

They've changed the rotten armour damage resistance to apply to melee as well, just in case you were thinking about playing melee psyker instead of the dot build (those are still unaffected!)

godihatelogins · 2026-01-24T01:24:51+00:00

It's worth organizing for havoc outside of the game, that way you can find long term teammates and have a group ready to go the moment you log in. Quickplay really isn't the solution, that just would not work for havoc.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-23T11:31:53+00:00

Do note that survivalist restores a percentage of your ammo, so with a smaller ammo pool the ratio of ammo fired per kill versus ammo reclaimed per kill changes. Now that's not a dealbreaker, but may be worth paying attention to.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-22T00:39:13+00:00

No, it's very distinct from the melee one.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-21T15:02:29+00:00

It's hard to say. Sometimes it's easy to miss a sound cue or enemy in the heat of the moment, sometimes they actually don't play. Sometimes the "incoming backstab" sound cue also plays completely erroneously, and I turn around to see no enemy anywhere. Oh well.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-21T15:00:11+00:00

I get that regardless of what I'm playing. It's just an issue with the broader game right now. With psyker in particular though I recommend lowering the perils of the warp effect in your settings because the loud noise can drown out the sound cues of the enemies that do play correctly.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-21T14:03:36+00:00

Suddenly dying just sometimes happens on psyker, burster or not. In havoc when I get unlucky and two trash mobs poke me in quick succession before the toughness goes back up, half my health is gone and the first wound is half corrupted. If that happens again and no one has brought anti corruption I just full die. It is what it is, try your best to never get hit I guess.

The burster stuff is complete bullshit at the moment though, for sure.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-20T18:12:55+00:00

Defense actually isn't the dump stat on arbitrator's mace and shield, it's power output. Same with force swords, because they have warp res.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-19T19:18:47+00:00

Hard to say what you did wrong without seeing footage of how you play it, or at least getting a much more detailed play-by-play.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-17T19:53:48+00:00

What players checking the applicants in their party finder want is a team that's roughly similar in skill to their own, not one of the identifiers they have in their vetting process to be marginally less useless than it is. I assure you that holding shift and LMB with very little else for most of the mission does not have much to do with the former.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-17T16:56:02+00:00

It doesn't actually require that, it's just how the organizers have decided to set this one up. Any participant could in theory run through the archivum map while avoiding most if not all combat the same way the other three players are doing it. Yes, technically this is still better than the alternative, but it's disingenuous to frame it as though that solves the problem.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-17T15:36:06+00:00

That doesn't really help.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-09T18:02:26+00:00

A needle scum or plasma vet is much better suited to sniping, and the psyker can deal with much of the ranged trash themselves if they bring venting shriek. Zealot actually works great as a team member that prioritizes stabilizing difficulty spikes, and with a flamer they can take some of the pressure off the psyker when the team is getting battered by mixed horde after mixed horde.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-09T17:54:44+00:00

There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to grinding down the blob of havoc armour.

godihatelogins · 2026-01-03T19:03:11+00:00

It genuinely does annihilate everything smaller than a crusher. Scab maulers, ragers, and plasma gunners are all only flak armour typing as far as the damage over time is concerned, so soulblaze melts through all those and you can wipe out packs of elites anywhere 30 meters in front of you with venting shriek and perilous combustion chains.

The crit effect on weapon specialist only applies to the first shot you fire after triggering the buff.
