Description
The build for my psyker Iris, updated for the 2026 DotD update.
Notes:
- This is a flame psyker build, making use of the Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff and the soulblaze nodes in the skill tree for maximum DoT.
- This is a DoT (Damage over time) focused build. You will not be killing ogryns and bosses with this.
- This build synergizes very well with a teammate who builds around anti-boss damage like a zealot, arbitrator, or a hive scum.
- Venting Shriek has massive uptime if you're on a killing spree. Use it as a panic button if you're about to peril overload or get pinned by a horde. It will likely not save you from a group of elites or a boss though.
- Warp Siphon in my experience is the best keystone. The ability uptime, especially with the soulblaze you get from In Fire Reborn, is massive. And the extra damage is nice too.
- Wildfire is not optional. If you are building a flame psyker and don't take it, you are hindering yourself and your teammates.
- You can probably swap out Smite with Brain Rupture with no problem, but I find that even with brain burst I struggle with boss damage. Plus, this build is very much a glass cannon so ideally, you will have teammates who will kill bosses for you. Assail is superfluous as you can wipe hordes of trash mobs and basic adds with absolutely no problem using the fire staff.
- Other than bosses as mentioned multiple times before, this build is practically anti-everything.
- This build completely invalidates any need for a tank. Expect Ogryn and Arbities players to salt when they can’t regen their toughness or whatever. Team etiquette is massive with this build but some people don’t understand that soulblaze is the only viable meta for Psyker. Have thick skin if you play public matches.
BURN THE HERETIC!
