Description
Sick of supporting your team only for you to die once something breaths on you while playing psyker? *Cough Smite Pysker Cough*
Ever wanted to cosplay zealot while playing the squishiest class? Well time to run around doing whatever you want. No more slow clunky gameplay wielding a staff. Time to pick up your sword and start clearing hordes frontlining most of the entire time.
I don't know why this works honestly. This is the most fun i have had on a character for a while. Running around at mach fuck as the "squishy" psyker cosplaying as a gender-bent Charles Xavier makes it all the funnier. Quick drawing the bolt pistol against stronger/ranged specials mostly oneshots anything that isn't carapace armor is incredibly satisfying to me. Along with assail spam it feels like there is nothing this build is weak at.
This is the general pattern I follow to ensure I have the most damage possible. Prioritizing disrupt destiny stacks early game is a must to have a good amount (10) before the first "big" ambush. (not mandatory just helps with dealing a bunch of weakspot damage with bolt pistol) Then once a swarm does come I either Assail Spam for massive damage or run at the horde both with scier's gaze active. Depends on if there is a bunch of special swarm that will be too dangerous to melee all. So assail spam will thin out a lot of specials and trash enemies. If there are enemies that are too far or are in an akward position then i will try to quickdraw to snipe them (mostly hipfire) before they do anything I won't like. Also sniping enemies marked by disrupt destiny during mobbing is essential for the bonus damage, quelling, and most importantly the movespeed. If your buffs are stacked correctly you will mostly get a get-out-of-jail-free card whenever you need to reposition or if you need to close the gap to an oncoming horde. Which the more kills with melee the more peril quelled=massive toughness regen. Once you are in scrier's gaze you mostly can do whatever you want, but once the ability ends is where the most deaths will happen. So resist the urges at running towards enemies and try to snipe with the bolt pistol and assail. When the forms comes back on rinse and repeat.
**Note: Any melees work some better than others I have just been using this to level up all the melees available on psyker.
