Description
The Daft Punk Psyker Build: because it's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger than Knife Zealot.
Mk:VI Combat Blade: this mark uses heavy attacks for horde clear and single target so it benefits from 100% up-time on Charged Strikes and Enfeeble. The Lacerate blessing can be swapped for Flesh Tearer based on preference.
(Horde combo: heavy>heavy>push. Single Target combo: push-attack>special>heavy)
Mk:X Heavy Laspistol: this is your boss killer. The Crits, the DoTs, and the weapon stats do the work. Flak armour gives you a boost against Captains and Gunners. Unyielding is Boss damage. The Concentrated Fire blessing can be swapped for Desperado based on preference.
- Curios: 3x Revive Speed because quick rescues save games. 3x Stamina because it's mobility and pushes & push-attacks. 3x Ability Regen to increase up-time on Scrier's Gaze. Swap a Toughness for 1 Health or 1 Stamina curio based on preference.
Playstyle: GET. STUCK. IN! This is a No Staff Melee Psyker build for those that LOVE to grab the enemy by the belt and stab! Use your speed to close the gap and your big boosted criticals to murder everything in sight with enough safety to be able take a hit if you make a mistake. This build holds up in Maelstrom and Havoc 25s.
- Perilous Combustion, Souldrinker, and Wildfire combine to add a little more damage, a little more crit-chance, and a little more toughness regeneration. (Wildfire can be swapped for something like Mind in Motion or Anticipation)
- Just a Dream, Immaterial Focus, One With the Warp, and Scier's Gaze together stack up a ton of damage resistance and toughness regeneration.
- Empathic Evasion lets you ignore shooters 1 second at a time as long as you're hitting and crit-ing in melee or ranged.
- Scrier's Gaze and Disrupt Destiny lean heavily into Finesse damage and boost the knife a lot.
- Psyker is the second fastest class in the game using knife with a Sprint Speed of 5.0m/s
