PERIL BLOCK WORKS WHEN PICKING UP DOWNED ALLIES Tanked a hit from a plague Ogryn (pre talent patch) while picking up an ally which saved a game, dont underestimate
I run something similar, my only comment on this is that passive quelling still counts for your toughness regen talent. Your peril yoyos a lot due to Scryer's Gaze, you don't actually stay at fixed max peril as you seem to imply a couple of times in the video. This means that you are always regenerating toughness if you pick both talents. Also the ratio of toughness regenerated per peril is better on the quelling talent. If you are split from the team (given that you take BB), you can quickly duck into cover, swap to BB to quell manually, and you'll get toughness back on demand. No other class can do this.
@@MrDante2456 Quietitude gives 5% toughness every 10% Peril quelled. Warp expenditure gives you 2.5% toughness every peril generated. Quietitude is better than Warp Expenditure as you can see, and quelling can be done faster by swapping to your blitz. People assume that because they run guns they don't build peril so they don't need to quell it (in which case, why take Warp Expenditure then?) But with Scryer's Gaze you build a lot of peril which you either quell passively by holding a non-force weapon or you quell actively by swapping to your blitz. Either way Quietitude is almost always better if you have to choose one of the two. Or take both if your build allows it, then you will always be regenerating some toughness.
Getting a void strike staff with surge and/or blaze with a build very similar to this has been my butter. I am super weak because you miss a lot of the toughness passives and perks but getting your keystone up and then pop schriers gaze and throw a void strike charge attack almost nothing is surviving and you can reliable 1 tap crushers and damage all around it. As you are shooting double blasts like 50+% of the time. All ragers and lessers don’t eat the blast like crushers so you can clear a hallway with one shot at times. I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s found the joys of the glass cannon melee Psyker. It’s such a crazy fast and fun build and feels more active than any other melee class In my experience. I haven’t tried your exact build. I took some crit perks at the top and run the bottom path of the keystone. Plus I haven’t used a rapier on it. So I’ve got a class to go build. Thank you 🙏
Last week I made similar build... for the same reason... mele weekly misions... But I ended up with almsot evryting diffrent except the ability and it works nice. First I also tried with the most crit chance that I can took, but in the final version I switched to more cooldown and damage reduction. I took both toughness regen perks in the begginig of the three because acctualy you constantly generage and quill perlil. For blitz I took Smite to have some CC just in case, I almost never using it, but it helps in a bad situations. For the aura I go with Seer's Presens it was a hard choise, but cooldown is nice and the damage reduction perk after it is very strong. I still have Kinetic Deflection, but I took Warp Shipon for more cooldown and it also have other nice bonuses. I also was using shredder autopistol and it's great but I recived insane revolver after one mission and swith to it and never look back. I'm also using Mk IV, the main benefit is that the heavy attack is more consistat to headshot (it's basicly the rapire from Vermintide 2). The idea is that with Warp Shipon and Seer's Presens you have 55% cooldown reduction(it's easy to have 6 Warp Shiponcharges all the time) with meens less then 15 sec cooldown plus and the lingering effect is 10 sec, so you'r max 4 sec out of Scrier's Gaze, but in reality Psykinetics Aura triggers all the time and cuts most of them too.
Scrier’s gaze doesn’t work with Warp Siphon unfortunately. The charges are spent but reduce nothing, which is a real bummer. But Seer’s Presence and Psykinetics aura work and are more than enough really
I run this build as I want to get the "Four leaf clover" penance but don't have a clue how to magic Psyker. So I built it to play more like my main which is Zealot. I planned on just levelling up the Psyker to lv 30 and not play it after that as it was a real pain for me to brainburst and use the staffs. But this is Gun-Psyker as a virtual Zeralot and it turned out to be so much fun. I do use the Autopistol as I used to run it on my Zealot and Veteran before maxing them out for higher difficulty games (with Boltgun or Autogun). So even at low level I get to add 4th tier Blessings on the autopistol I already have instead of just staffs with low tier as a lower level Psyker. The sword I use is the Deimos Mk IV Blaze Force sword, so i can charge it up to kill crushers or do extra damage to monstrosities. I kind of like the longer range of the thrust attack too and the swhish sound of it is cool (if that matters).
I've been running a similar build with revolver, dueling mk4, assail and shield. Probably the most fun build I've ever used with psy. Very versitile. Nice vid!
Nice build. Is there a way to save loadouts for easier swapping? Using your Assail setup from 1-30 and running Damnations now with friends, it's great.
Ive been working on something similar with SMG and Smite to retain cc, a force sword with Deflector for when i need extra oomph in melee, the issue is id love Powderburn on my SMG for increased accuracy because trading the brain burst makes it your only long-range option. that being said, Smite helps prevent getting overrun too much with the close-range build too. i take shield for added protection for my team against gunners at range but it does still suck missing 50% of my shots in those few strictly necessary long-range encounters.
Love the gaze builds even though you see the other abilities more. For me it just seems that it helps more with melee builds than with firearms as the talent tree might advertise. Weapons with high finesse make you a head chopping land mower but save some firearm options, like revolver for example or guns with weakness dmg blessings the ability falls off in buffing guns in comparison to melee imo. Running it with psy swords is also interesting if you want to keep up the peril after it ended and you selected the option with extends the ability effect by 10 seconds. Keep the peril high and spec into higher peril for better dmg in talent tree and/or with blessings and it can get crazy quickly. However, I still hope they make the ability more unique in the future as its "only" a dmg buff at the end of the day.
@@JDogth3WiseI was thinking of using a force sword and a different guns and abusing that one ability that gives you toughness after getting rid of peril
That extra talent for disrupt destiny quells peril so i still took the toughness gain from Quelling peril. While in berserk mode helps to regain toughness
I'm using something similar. I dont notmally play "magic" classes. I'm still not treating this as one by playing it melee I guess. I am trying to be a horde crusher and a specials hunter. I started out using the Devil's Claw swords because I like the parry. I found myself rarely using it though so I've since opted for a force sword. I had great luck buying one from Brunt's and got great stats on the first attempt. Then got good blessings too. First one is Deflector, which reduces blocking stamina consumption by 27% and also allows you to block ranged attacks. Like a Jedi and all! The second blessing on mine is also Riposte. I managed to fluke 20% crit for 6 sec on mine. The Specials Hunter side of it comes in the form of the stub revolver. I've used this gun probably more than any other since I started playing. Once you get one with good stats it will one shot almost anything if you hit their weak spot. I took brain burst too, but I have actually been using it on the ogryns and bosses. Once I get a better revolver, I'll likely only use it on bosses. A build I toyed with first was using Smite instead of Brain Burst. The lightning comes in handy for general crowd control. Especially when a teammate is down and the rest are trying to rescue them. Your analogy to a rogue play style in this video makes me curious about how a dagger/combat knife might go.
