Motivations for this build:
Probably the only other viable scrier build I have found was the Columnbus + Catachan Sword builds. However, catachan swords are extremely bad at dealing with Elite squadrons, so I made this build to fix that. Pskyer's talent tree is largely centered on glass cannon horde clear or single dps to Elites. So this build was created to supplement horde clear with soulflame.
Playstyle: Extremely aggro
Whereas most pskyer builds are quitre immobile and require you to stay your distance, this one wants you to charge right in. You have high amounts of dodge with Deimos sword, so you should almost never get hit barring bad environments. This seems like a risky crit build, but keep in mind that 1/5 weakspot hits are guaranteed to be crit due to True Aim perk. Because of this, you really want melee weapons with Flurry (fast attack speed) and range weapons like lasguns and autogun family.
Your main goal is to keep swinging/shooting and keep the momentum building, as each crit gives you movespeed and increases the damage of your soulflame wildfires.
You almost never whip out brain rupture (blitz) and have it occur naturally. Baring very rare circumstances.
Once you get into the horde or in the squadron, you open with scrier's gaze and start blasting. Each crit powers your soulflame stack as well as gives you survivability and speed. Only deviation to this, would be to take out laspistol to proc ghost and get into gun squadron to activate scrier. against Elite squadrons you could solo the entire mauler squad by yourself easily without Scrier. Only reason to do so, is for Peril generation to activate toughness regen. When you kill squadrons, its likely that you can cast two Scrier's gaze because of how high your dps is and the CD reduction talent.
On Melee Weapon: Deimos
Deimos does have weak horde clearing capabilities, however when horde appears, you can activate Scrier's Gaze to Crit Wildfire stacks. The talents spent in soulflame and mandatory blessing in blazing spirit makes this a must have. Uncanny strike is mandatory to use the Light Heavy stabs to kill crushers. Deimos is one of the strongest weapnos to kill crushers because of this deadly single target combo. Try to dodge and weave in the open as much as possible, you have to be careful on using force push due to Scrier leaving you at 100% Peril. Note Perfect timing talent is taken because it will buff your wildfyre to help clear hordes.
Alternative melee: illsi with the same blessings
I jsut think deimos able to better solo mauler squadrons make it more superior over arguably better horde clear.
On Range Weapon: Accatran Laspistol
Has fast change animation, inherent crit chance. The only mandatory blessing is Ghost, as you are using the pistol to headshot and approach the enemy. The crit is useful to proc Mettle to get more movespeed and get in the gunner squads faces. Once in the gunner squad, go crazy with Scrier. You can also push with laspistol secondary because you won't be able to push at times with 100% Peril.
alt blessing: Between the Eyes (Supression immunity on weakspot proc) vs infernus
If you don't feel that confident, you can go for Between the Eyes over Infernus. Its just that you don't need to ADS with this gun and will have mostly pinpoint accuracy. Infernus can help to add additional DPS.
alt weapons: columbus, Recon lasgun.
You basically jsut want Ghost available, I jsut find that accatran laspistol supplements crit/True aim procs better than katrael laspistol and faster to take out than the columbus as the autoguns require ADS.
On talent selection:
These are quite limited, As the blitz, aura are required to get the next set of talent points. To enhance survivability and soul flame
The only two free talent points are in the extra toughness. My opinion is that Warp Rider sounds good on paper, if you are able to keep Disrupt Destiny stacks , in tends to be overkill, not to mention only useful when scrier is active.
I have dodged getting any form of peril mitigation. Because Scrier is largely used against hordes and squadrons. Realistically their aren't many targets that can make use of the full 25 seconds without kills to slow progress.
Perfectionism or Lingering influence. Personally I beleve more than 15 stacks is overkill, as you don't have any cleave. Having stacks of disrupt destiny is better than having the potentional to hold more but carry none.
