Have you found any interesting combinations of weapon and class that weren’t possible before, something that works slightly differently than on other classes?
I assume everyone has gushed over Dueling Swords on non-Psykers by now.
I was aiming to try out Heavy Swords on Psykers with the extra cleave from Warp Splitting, but I expect it’d be way too hard to keep up the peril - and I haven’t found a high enough rating heavy sword so far to even bother attempting to upgrade it to usable levels.
So far, shotguns and chain axes on Psykers don’t seem to offer any meaningful new builds - though maybe the former with crit blessings and SG could do some work? - and I couldn’t even think of anything I really novel on Zealot.
But I’m willing to be surprised.
Has anyone here found something worth trying out?
The dueling swords were balanced around lack of melee damage and finesse nodes so they’re cracked on vet and zealot whereas the other human weapons are a bit lackluster for the psyker. I thought heavy sword would be great on psyker as a horde mulcher paired with EK staff for single target/armored but it did not hold up as well as I hoped. It might have just been my build but I couldn’t 1-shot dreg bruisers without headtaker stacks and peril tends to decay too quickly if you’re not weaving in staff shots or blocking attacks. Granted I haven’t tried using a warp charge or DD build yet, that could make the difference.
Yeh, hence I was also against it in the past(before dropping off for 8 months). The weapon is very obviously very strong and mostly held back by Psyker requiring a lot of conditionals to let it shine. But there’s gotta be something besides the very obvious and ‘probably shouldn’t have been done like this’.
