I walk pass window , and my head exploded in 0.5sec died (psyker)

How can i dodge that as psyker?
wait for shield for every window?
pray to chaos god?

its 0.5 second headshot .( little gunner , Not elite )

Not sure what you died to, so it’s impossible to answer that question.

If it’s snipers, wait for them to shoot if you’re having trouble judging when to dodge.
If it’s gunners, gunner damage reduction on curios, and waiting for them to swap targets.

it was little gunner , not the elite one .

i already have 3 damage reduction on curios gunner.

Definitely sounding like a new player, to that end, I shall say:

  • Gunner resist on at least two curios, three if you’re REALLy feeling it/don’t have as raging of a hate boner for bombers as I do.

  • Take more toughness, lots of builds on Darktide lantern ignore toughness because they are fast twitch gods making the builds. As a 200 toughness psyker andy myself, get that number up, more toughness = less bullet death.

  • Take One with the Warp, among other things, and keep your peril relatively high. I don’t think there’s a single build I have that doesn’t take it, outside of one strange scriers build that uses Endurance so I can take the 5% range damage. But you can’t do damage when you’re dead, so I pretty much always go 5% DR node then One with the Warp.

  • Dodge more. You’re on the ‘dodge and slide’ class, you can quell while dodging/sliding. And while in both of those states, bullets go through you. If this part is too hard, I’d unfortunately suggest probably going something like an Ogryn or Zealot instead, as they don’t really need to care. But Psykers and Vets HAVE to be dodging or they drop to their knees, so get better at such/at least mashing the dodge on toughness hit and you’ll see your survivability climb dramatically.

All good points. I’d also say that if you’re trying to snipe from a distance on psyker that’s probably what’s doing it. You’re likely getting suppressed, getting your toughness broken, and then it doesn’t take long at all to die from ranged attacks.

It’s probably an issue of choosing the wrong strategy for the engagement. Try dropping your shield first before engaging from range, or sliding between cover to get close enough to use your flame or lightning.

From just reading the topic I thought this post was from the heretic’s perspective, head being exploded by a psyker - then they complain on the forums how it’s impossible for them to dodge the brain burst lol.

In fact, the average shooter is more dangerous than the elite ones when there are a lot of them, and in the high difficult Havoc missions, these average shooters are extremely damaging and are not protected by any curios.
If there are a lot of shooters outside the cover, either wait for the shield or solve them one by one, and don’t leave the cover recklessly.

Slide spam. Blaze Bolt Suppression. Assail. This is in Auric?
