Play Assail Psyker without blowing up

I love assail Psyker but it has an increased Peril rate compared to other Psyker gameplay options so this build finds ways use Peril to your advantage while still being able to Quell it quickly if you need to. 

 

Kill all the things

Because Venting Shriek is up so often you do a massive amount of damage.

 

As an added bonus the 'Blessed by Fate' penance is very easy while using this build.

 

How to use this build

Venting Shriek's cooldown is fast with this build so use it to vent when it is up - get to 100% for max impact (and damage) but use it at lower percentages if you like. This and the increased Quell cooldown will help to stop you from blowing yourself up. You will replenish toughness when you Quell Peril and also on kill.


Stay with your team, use the environment to your advantage - stay behind barriers and corners especially if there are hounds on the loose. You are not a frontliner so stay at the back and spam assail at speacials and gunners. Clear hoards easily using assail and clean up with your duelling sword.

 

You can use Venting Shriek as a handy emergency button if you get surrounded as it is a great AOE stagger and will also apply soulblaze and kill most things.

 

The Illisi Mk V Blaze Force Sword is fantastic with hoards and has a great alt hit for specials/bosses if they're up close. Remember that you can block ranged also because of the Deflector blessing so use that to get into cover if you need to. 

 

Use the staff on Bullwalks, Crushers and to kill Bosses.

 

Other Stuff

  • Venting Shriek applies soulblaze to targets and also reduces your Peril.
  • Your Assail projectiles will pierce and replenish faster.
  • Your Aura makes Venting Shriek refresh at a faster rate.
  • You have a 10% chance to quell peril on kill, your movement speed is not reduced while Quelling Peril and your Quell Speed is increased by 30%.
  • This build also goes through a lot of toughness nodes as well as nodes reduce Peril Generation.
