Description

This is my preferred Psyker build right now. It doesn't feel cheap, has a lot of team utility, and has a lot of synergies which make it feel good. You can run whatever you want but this build helps me sleep at night.

I use this build with any of the staffs. They all work. Dueling swords are an excellent combination of power and mobility with the MK V being my favorite feeling one. I really like the heavy swipes. I've heard the MK 4 is a solid option too bc it can one-shot muties (MK 5 is a two-shot).

Brain Burst is an all around excellent tool. It gives you a long range option to kill specials or elites, is your answer to armor, and it gets nutty with empowered psionics + perilous combustion + wildfire. Smite is a frames killer and makes engagements boring (they're stunned and then we bonk them. What interaction /s) and with Assail you auto-aim kill everything which both doesn't feel skillful and also will annoy your team (because it doesn't feel skillful).

Psykentic's Aura + Seer's Presence are the best aura buffs you can give to your team. Everyone likes having their ult off cooldown. Other psykers can stack this with you too to great effect.

Bubble is the best utility option for your team. The bullet blocking + toughness regen is invaluable and you'll have at least one up every fight with both your auras, sometimes several. Venting Shriek is a really solid option too if you're heavier on peril generation and need some AoE OR if you think Bubble is too strong.

Peril is both an offensive and defensive tool here. You have plenty of ways to quell it or gain it and it all gives you toughness. You also get to use it instead of stamina for blocking, making you an excellent rezzer.

Empowered Psionics makes Brain Burst an elite tool. It's also the only none-conditional, set and forget option. Warp Charges go away when you ult which you'll be doing very often. This creates a juggling act where you have to decide if you want to ult or keep your damage up. Disrupt Destiny stacks cause your focus to be split all over the place instead of helping the team with priority targets AND you drop all your stacks if you miss a target in the allotted windows, which is sometimes out of your control. DD can target something 5 miles away running into a doorway or your team can be hyper efficient and be unintentionally killstealing your targets. With Empowered Psionics, you just have your keystone stored away until you want it and you'll only ever have 3 at a time so you won't have infinite stacks to headpop everything without effort.
