As someone who has over 600 hours as a Psyker. You want as much chance to proc your BB. That is a good STARTING build. If your wanting to feel out a Psyker. A proper build is as such. Quietitude>Warp Unleahshed>Psychic Communion>Mind in Motion>Kinetic Flayer>Ascendant Blaze> Couple this with a CC Purgatus staff or the Elite/Specialist killing Surge staff and you got yourself quite the killing machine. The reason for this build? IT plays into EXACTLY what this mans videos tells you about. Brain burst=Dmg=Kills=chance to BB=more DMG=More kills
Feb 8th 2023: As of Patch Update 1.0.25, Psyker Psykinetics have received a pretty significant change to their warp charge management and some buffs! Check out the update video here: th-cam.com/video/yzd-mIDJHI0/w-d-xo.html CORRECTION: Psykinetic's Aura (The Coherency Feat for 15% cooldown on Elite kills) does in fact apply to your teammates when you make the kill! Thanks Senji for this correction - video proof on his channel!)
Glad you enjoyed it, but that guide is pretty old already! A new one will be coming out along with the update to the class system! Make sure to stay tuned for that!
Essence Harvest: You get it activated with Brain Burst(Kill) , Psychic Communion , Kinetic Flayer(Kill) aswell as Ascending Blaze (all can get you Warp Charges "passivly"). Psykinetics Aura: If the Psyker kills an Elite all Allies in Coherency get the Cooldown including yourself (evidence in my Video towards the end). Universal Build: I would only suggest going for Kinetic Flayer because it does activate on any hit (melee,brainburst,force etc.). Also gives Warp Charge every 15s and Warp Charges hold for 25s. Warp Battery doesn't give you much extra with the 2 more Warp Charges if you do not play it for releasing more Soulblaze into the enemy (6 Warp Charges+Ascending Blaze do kill an entire Infested Hord for example). Kinetic Overload as mentioned above does have the profit to kill elites within a mixed hords with ease . Applying Soulblaze stacks within no time. Thougness Choices are personal playstyle preference and weapon based. I personaly stay with Warp Absorption when playing Purg , Quiti with Surge+Natural Weapon Other than that. Really nice and easily understandable quick guide. == Example of how some Feats can be combined effectivly. Purgatus most Effective Dps Example: Collect 4 Warp Charges -> Fully Charge -> Release -> press F (using Feats: Kinetic Overload and Ascending Blaze) -> Releasing 4 Stacks of Soulblaze + additional over time by the Staff + gaining Warp Charges within that time will kill Elites within a Hord insanely fast.
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! For Psykinetic Aura: Looks like I'll make a correction on that - I had the feeling it worked, but didn't have solid evidence of it, though I'll admit that you can't trust the Darktide subreddit information all the time! Thanks for sharing the proof on your end! As for the Universal Build, at Malice and below, a 4 stack Ascendant Blaze will wipe a horde, but its effectiveness doesn't scale up very effectively unless you build into it specifically (that will be coming soon!) I don't know about you, but I play on Damnation pretty much most of the time now, and threats at that difficulty (or as you move from Malice into Heresy+) don't tend to be hordes - its' the chain bombers, gunners, and reapers that really get you. A 4 stack Ascendant Blaze isn't going to help you with any of them - Ascendant Blaze at that stage is really only useful if you have 5 - 6 Stacks of Warp Charge so you can take out both types of shooters and shot-gunners asap (something I'm going to go into more depth in my next upload). Also the idea of a Universal build is to be able to take any weapon you'd like into a mission while still being able to carry your weight - in my experience, Ascendant Blaze without the Purgatus is a chore to maintain whereas Kinetic Barrage is always good to go when you need it (flexibility is key to being universal after all), Warp Battery is just there to give you more offensive sustain if you need it after (whether you're using a staff or not). Staff specific builds will be coming soon - hence why I did not mention anything about them in this video. This video is meant to help anyone watching get acquainted with their skills and feats, and have a build they can lean on should RNGesus decide not to bless them with the weapons they desire. Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated!
@@rykenxiv Only playing damnation (high intense if possible - in a static grp mostly) Yep for damnation 4 Soulblaze stacks doesnt do enough esp for unarmoureds. Tested in Psykanium aswell. We always have a lasgun vet with us. No need to make the game unneccessary difficult. Ascending just helps you get the extra Blaze Stacks into the hord and for me personally efficiency is everything on higher difficulties (dmg+time). You also feel the difference for clearing mixed hords. Playing solo or with ppl i dont know the skill lvl I also prefer kinetic barrage and having more impact to carry/clutch.
@@owa1985 I didn't even understand what that line meant exactly until I tried it in game. At first I thought each stack would keep its individual cooldown and you'd lose them "gradually" in order and CD they came. I was relieved to find thats not the case :P It is indeed a huge buff.
Good video sibling, instead of forcing your meta you describe how it works and what it can do for your psyker, much more useful then just a build guide like others do.
Honestly feels like inner tranquility should've been an iconic feat. The same with mind in motion, though I think for mind in motion it should only apply when you have a force weapon equipped. I haven't played Darktide much, only have a 16 vet and 25 psyker. But so far, it feels as if a lot of the feats feel either are too situational or useless and only a few are viable, fun, or synergize well. I hope they change feats so they feel more like a big upgrade and make a bigger impact rather than feeling like a +1 damage, or something the class should've had passively in the first place (like vet's bio-optics feat)
I agree with a lot of the feats being... not very interesting. Its come to the point where I made up my own selections that would be reasonable enough for Fatshark to implement but also make Psyker gameplay much more interesting with actual choice involved.
Quietitude>Warp Unleahshed>Psychic Communion>Mind in Motion>Kinetic Flayer>Ascendant Blaze> Couple this with a CC Purgatus staff or the Elite/Specialist killing Surge staff and you got yourself quite the killing machine. This comes in over almost hundreds of hours as a Psyker.

Great info! Can’t wait to see the success of your channel!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
The psyched charges just changed today. It was a HUGE change
I'm pushing the idea that this patch should be called the "Warp Charge patch". The notes really undersold how huge the change really is.

Hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment very much :D
Did you know that Kinetic Flayer's brain burst can be forced out with an Autopistol? Really pushes the autopistol's DPS to the point of absurdity.

i started with this class and it was ok, but it’s horrible playing with a controller lol
