- Today i wanted to share a really cool trick i was able to discover with friends in #darktide this layout of feats will give the psyker a really awesome boost to its defense and it basically makes the class into a tank that i don't think people really knew about! It's awesome to be able to have this up your sleeve so let me know what you all think in the comments

PSA: This playstyle is currently out of date as of 2/5/2023. Fat shark has nerfed the constant dropoff of peril. You can see in the video that while blocking using the talent, his peril was constantly lowering since he wasn't using his BB or force weapon. Apparently this was a bug and was corrected in the latest patch so now it will not go down and will instead reset the timer for it to auto-quell when you gain peril.
I've always been the advocate to buff things instead of nerfing things. Being strong is a tell that other options need to be better
Yes, but overpowered features become boring in the long run. If you win everytime without much problems, it's going to feel repetitive.
Force sword with deflector plus this feat for higher difficulties.
Also watch out for crushers, scav maulers and bosses overhead attacks, they tend to ignore your block, you have to dodge these attacks
This is very important information! Overhead attacks from bosses killed me so often, that I thought fatshark nerfed this feature.
@@Tundrikzlob you really have to watch for crushers and plague ogryns, especially plague ogryn since that attack comes out very fast.
Scav Maulers i'm not sure if that bypass your block, or i just messed up that time, so i will test it more when i get the chance.
I've always used the lightning staff in a support role to temporarily stun the larger enemies in the hordes to buy time for my teammates. However this is an awesome way to play a more hybrid, tank role on a team lacking a shield Ogyrn! I do hope if there is a nerf it isn't too extreme. Physkers need a break xD
Disagreed completley, this is not ludicrous, overpowered nor anything like it, you need to sacrifice the use of a forcesword weapon and invest at least 1 talent into this for it to work and even then you can see that while fighting the deamonhost you still needed to dodge or your peril would become critical and you wouldn't be able to block it anymore. This game is insane in lvl 4's and 5's so we need strong synergies and this one honestly is not even that strong. And let us not forget that as a Psyker you want to bring damage, crowd control and brain burst for the team, things you cannot do while permablocking. All the same the Ogryn can do the same much better with the press of one button and whithout the need to sacrifice any of the rest of his kit or utility. Oh and as you mentioned, you cant deal with ranged targets, the Ogryn can and you also could, by using a force weapon, but then you wouldn't have an efficient melee block, so you really need to always chose and sacrifice something, it's pretty well thought up and it's a good utility, nothig crazy or overpowered.
All very fair points - you do have to make sacrifices as the psyker to be able to do some things in this game. But the preacher and the veteran are not able to have this kind of defensive power which is I think is a good thing. The class as a whole needs a bit of a rework because in later levels you just don't have the same elite killing ability (which is bad considering that is one its its main descriptors). I love this setup personally (you're not sacrificing much to do it) but i believe that fatshark will nerf it in the future when they start trying to balance the class. Hopefully it stays though :)
@@ItsKivKiv thank you for the reply. Although I need to disagree again hehe. The Veteran has 200 base toughness, a resonable amount of stamina and some of the best perks to regenerate it really fast. Plus we all know is one of the strongest classes right not, having amazing ranged and melee options plus a busted ability for any level of play. And for the Zealot..well the Zealot is nearly immortal being a better tank than the Ogryn so I'd say he fares well defensive wise 😆. Cheers mate.
@@gabzsy4924 haha yeah the zealots near immortal with the right setup but the veteran I found to be a bit of a struggle on hard difficulties because my playstyle is more upclose rather than most of the feats which are based on ranged combat
@@ItsKivKiv You choose your class based on your play style. There isn't much point in choosing what is advertised as a range based class when you prefer to fight up close. I prefer range so I chose Psyker and Veteran. If I preferred close combat, I'd go Preacher or Ogryn. I'll eventually try them to do something different, but I know I'd probably hamper any team I'm on in the higher difficulties playing as one.
I still believe that the force sword with block blessing so you can block ranged attacks. Paired with at least 15% block cost reduction and the skill you used that increases peril when you're not critical.
Is still better.
The main thing that kills people (i've noticed in pug games) is ranged attacks.
The ability to shield yourself from all those attacks, even snipers, is a tremendously powerful defensive action.
Also, the peril increase is actually in synch with the skill that reduces peril gained by 6% per warp charge stacked.
So, if for instance one uses the flame staff, with 6 warp charge max stacks together with this build.
You gain 24% less peril when doing anything that increases ones peril.
I've used this build for a while in heresy+ difficulty and have to found it is a gamebreaker for me at least.
The force sword ability to stun / throw a horde on it's back is very very good paired with this ability. As you can then easier help fallen allies.
I wouldn't trade the force sword with that blocking ability on an open map at least.
But this build you've shown is something i definitely will try on maps that aren't as open.
Damn- I am now the sad cuz this was my favorite build and now with the new update they updated Feats to Talents- Yea, it's cool and more possibilities, but, as for now, rip my tanky boi.
I think the ability to play a Psyker as a tank is a really cool option that adds an essential bit of flavor to the class. I don't see it as overpowered at all. The example where you took down the Daemonhost was not necessarily reflective of how the game usually works. Encounters with big baddies rarely happen in a vacuum. You'll usually be inundated with trash mobs at the same time, and having your Psyker focusing exclusively on blocking attacks while ignoring the usual duties of controlling hordes and picking off elites... It's not going to be great in every situation. This added defense in melee is very powerful indeed, but a Psyker is still going to need to switch gears quite often.
Yes very true. The demonhost is a bit of a different story because it stays on one player at a time and has crazy damage output but in a normal bossfight you would definitely have a few more opportunities to do other things.
it is a good dueling sword, 15% increased dodge distance, one dodge and u can cast a charged up spell from far away.
have you been able to get the 900 dmg blocked penance to work with this ?
I've done it that way
So for the Powersword there is a perk that can make you block ranged attacks aswell. Does somebody know if that perk only exists on Powerweapons, or could you also have it on the Saber aswell?
Only on powersword, so you have to make a tradeoff on the auto-quell
@@Bluflash08 Having tried it for a while its well worth the tradeoff, you lose the ability to tank a daemonhost for days like here but you gain the ability to push ranged packs like an ogryn which can be a huge benefit if your team is lacking melee attackers which I find is more likely than a game where you actually attack the host.
Would be nice if they made Parker brain brust available on half charge like on stuffs with less dmg cause some times you don’t want the whole thing to kill someone
Or if a feat in row 6 could let you target multiple ennemies at the same time.
2 or 3 with the same damage sounds fun; if they allow more targets, damage should be toned down.
Sooo, does this still work or has it been patched?
Psyker is the worst class by a large margin. Nerfing it would be a HUGE slap in the face, Ogryns can tank Daemonhosts anyway simply having a shield, without sacrificing a feat - and mind in motion makes pplaying a psyker MUCH better (to the point it should just be baseline).
@@DanielFerreira-mh2hd I frankly feel the class was built around BB - and that crap was so nerfed you can't use it much. That means you basically have no CHOICE but use Psychic communion. You are forced into staffs for quell speed, making gearing a lot less diverse. This class deserves a look, because they either must dissociate BB from warp charges OR buff BB considerably, even if not the DPS. I.E. Wrack and Ruin shouldn't require the target to die (or, alternativelly, shouldn't require it to be a specialist), etc.
@@DanielFerreira-mh2hd Indeed, it should be MUCH faster and a perk column should give secondary effects, like Cerebral Lacerations - just THEN one of this perks could augment cast time but also give a huge bonus to damage, for a VERY specific build.
Ogryn feats are just pure bullshit, gives really nothing. Slab shield is meta which is also bullshit but atleast Ogryns can do one thing properly. Be stationary and tank. So, if you want Ogryn do something more then just boringly be stationary, then you should atleast try to play Ogryn and you would see how shit he really is, damage wise aswell as defense wise. Ogryn is all around the worst character of them all.
@@urdnotwrex6969 I have my ogryn at lv 30 and got bored of my psyker at 25, the only class I'm still not 30. So I do know Ogryns are amazing to carry up to T3 and not bad at all at in higher dificulties. Did you actually try both classes? With a bleed build Ogryn "useless" feats make you take 50% less damage almost all the time BTW.
I think both of you are playing a different class than I am. I bet yall are following youtube tutorial metas that tell you to use the lightning staff. It's meta because it stuns and cc on the go for your team but it's honesly boring, low dps and requires good peril quenching skills and timing. Try a Force Trauma or a Purgatus build and tell me it has worst crowd control than a Zealot, or that the damage is low....also, how in the world are you using the Psyker if you think it dosn't bring much for a team?! Psykers are carrying teams left and right, if used correctly are borderline OP doing multiple roles at the same time and doing them all well. I fell yall just need to stop whining and get good.
Oh yeah Nerf it more, make it so nobody plays the class, pick it apart.. Attack everything that is Psyker for the click bait and views... Honestly wtf.
Play anything else and realize just how bad this class needs buffs and reworks.
I like my Psyker. Im afraid to pick another class only to find out they are stronger, and dont like my Psyker anymore
Respectfully i don't get where you are coming from mate? I didn't attack the class at all. I'm simply saying this is a cool and strong aspect that many people may not know about. I think fatshark will nerf it later down the track but I'm not saying thats what i want....
@@ItsKivKiv quote "is it extremely over-powered in a disgusting way, ah.. yeeahh kinda is"
My understanding of over-powered; something that is to strong, hence the word OVER before the word POWERED meaning its beyond the strength that it should be. This statement is implying quite literally that it should be less "powerful" than what it is.
I see why you don't understand.
@@deviousbutton9211 I see where you're coming from now but that's not attacking the class. This is just one aspect I felt was a little too strong. I enjoy playing the psyker alot and some of the abilities are really cool
It's not overpowered at all, it's just a reasonable build. A kinda mediocre build at that. Nothing worth nerfing anything over.
This was just a simple trait that i think many people under valued. Fair enough though :)
So tired of this inane sensationalism. There is absolutely nothing overpowered about this. Please stop clickbaiting.
From my experience with the game very few players know about this setup for the psyker. I'm not trying to clickbait excessively (part of it is a necessity of youtube) but I feel that the title and thumbnail are reasonable. Just so i can improve what would you have titled the video?
