Psyker: New Melee Weapons

I feel the mace is poor fit for the psyker, the force swords already do the same thing and do it better. Now what I’d really wish they’d give them is the heavy saber. I’d trade the mace for that any day. Not saying the mace is bad of course (It’s all I use on my guard now) it just seems redundant. I also hope going forward they give more class specific weapons. It’s starting to feel like there’s no specialization and all classes (except, to an extent, ogryn) can fill any role.

That’s the same for a veteran. Best melee weapon is the power sword and by a lot.
Of course, you can use a combat axe or a dagger and be really effective. But never as with the power sword.
Same applies to psyker. Their special melee weapon is the best you can pick.

my guy, the point of what fatshark has done with the classes now is to make it so that they CAN fill any role, but yes, we should get more weapons that are specifically for one class, i do agree with that, they’re starting to feel the exact same.

I agree… but for psyker, and note that I don’t play this class, I think they need more staff.

That’s my point though, every class shouldn’t be able to fill every role. That’s just dumb, why even play anything other than guard if they all do the same exact things with the same tools just with slightly different blitz abilities.

chris, i understand your thought process and i get why you feel that way but what you need to realize is that its fine if every class can fill every role as long as they’re all different in the ways that they do it. vet support picks up players and refills toughness along with staggers enemies in the zone, zealot support staggers enemies and refills toughness, psyker support makes a shield and can control crowds with lightning, ogryn support attracts enemies in a zone to only fight the ogryn. they’re all different in the way that they support but they still support and thats fine because they’re all different in how they do it. if every class was different and fell in just one category, people wouldn’t play those other classes because they can’t do the one thing that they actually wanna do be it support or attack or something else entirely. its a good thing that the classes are diverse and so full of ability and versatility, all they need is more exclusive weapons.

I definitely disagree with your assessment of the best weapons for the classes, which is a good sign of balance. I think the chain swords are more versatile for veteran, and most people would probably say that the dueling swords are better for psyker.

To the point of the topic, I would like to see more of the iconic weapons for each class. At the same time, having more shared gear makes it easier to get blessing pools which reduces the grind. So its a bit of a double edged sword if you have a lot of exclusives.

Nah psyker has been hugely neglected since tools of war. They were the only ones who didn’t get anything unique for traitor’s curse either. Can the freak get new magic or anything?

and that’s a special weapon restricted to psyker…

As I said, you can be effective with a combat axe, a dagger, a chainsword etc.
you won’t be more effective than with the class weapons…
Never seen someone doing 800k damage on melee with a veteran except one situation… with a power sword

here something I did in a damnation game when testing melee PS:


Obviously, if you check this scoreboard, I was not alone with this build. We both did better than the zealot…

Can’t find 2 examples in auric I have seen where 2 vets did more than 800k damages (too many scoreboards recorded).

Force sword n staff is all my psyker needs or wants.

I want Force Axe
