Description
Herr Werner believes that the mind is the sharpest weapon, therefore, he considers his weapon blessings and feat choices more important than any particular perk and curio.
On Feats
Level 5 - Essence Harvest - Herr Werner strives to generate at least one warp charge every 15 seconds (see level 15 and 25) and, therefore, finds the most synergy with Essence Harvest and Kinetic Flayer.
Level 10 - Inner Tranquility - Being able to freely use his incomparable mind is key to Herr Werner's success and this feat will help with that.
Level 15 - Psychic Communion - His incomparable mind relishes the demise of his enemies and doesn't care for who struck the final blow.
Level 20 - Kinetic Deflection - Since Herr Werner is mainly keeping a cool head, he uses this feat to improve his staying power and free up stamina to shove enemies around.
Level 25 - Kinetic Flayer - Another way to rapidly build up warp charge.
Level 30 - Quicken - Recently, Herr Werner found that this feat helped him to quickly quell peril and improve his ability to manage crowds. His warp charges will build rapidly with this feat and Herr Werner considers to either change Kinetic Flayer to Warp Battery or Psychic Communion to Psykinetic's Aura. On the other hand, the rapid recovery time for Unleash the Warp allows him to also use it offensively to create space to employ his beloved Voidstrike staff. Ascending Blaze would be his second choice.
On Weapons
The Voidstrike staff, if aimed properly, allows Herr Werner to fire almost with impunity when Transfer Peril is combined with Inner Tranquility. In combination with Kinetic Flayer and Quicken, a well placed shot amongst a murder of heretics will usually generate Warp Charge immediately.
The Obscurus Force Sword is not mandatory, but the ability to pair Deflector with Kinetic Deflection will help to manage crowds when there is no space to employ the Voidstrike staff, and to get back into cover when caught in the open by heretic combatants eomploying ranged armaments. Furthermore, the special attack will make short work of many specialists and elite enemies. Since Herr Werner regenerates stamina akin to a professional athlete way younger than him he can use the push of his force sword to help other team mates with revives in packed crowds. He likes to support this with the use of Unleash the Warp at his discretion. The Exorcist blessing could be replaced with Slaughterer.
On Curios
Herr Werner has found Brunt's and Melk's offerings to be lacklustre as of recently. Hence, he chose to employ “chance to receive curio as mission reward”. Herr Werner also has a “whatever floats your boat” attitude in this regard.
On the use of Brain Burst
Employing one's mind to slay all who oppose him, fills Herr Werner with joy. Brain Burst is just another tool that allows him to do just that. He uses it to either generate Warp Charge or to put a high amount of damage on a particular target, when needed. He prefers to break line of sight while using this power in order to stay safe. Nevertheless, Herr Werner does not consider Brain Burst to be his “main trick”.
