What blessings and perks do you like for each staff?

Iā€™m just going to ignore CommanderJ from here. I donā€™t believe he has anything more to contribute about psykers. I honestly want to sharpen my game for better damnation runs.

I am using deflector on forcesword(the second blessing is not essential and not optimal,if optimal I would use exorcist or soul blaze on crit one)
On my purgatus I use warp flurry and the concentrated channeling which imo is optimal

well most people have a strict mentality from some other rpgs,about dd/tank/healer etc,so the play style of psyker would surely confuse them besides fatshard doesnt provide much information neither,so they fail on play it,cant understand it,and proceed to blame psyker instead of learn.

I can understand that. I donā€™t play many rpg games like that, so I luckily donā€™t have that expectation. I donā€™t know what classic roles I would call any of them. Each kind of blend in my mind. I more think melee support and range support more than anything.

I have the Focused Channelling and Terrifying Barrage on my Purgatus. 77% dmg and 80% cloud radius. What I like it stops the mob pretty well and I can back away. I have yet to find Warp Fury on any staff.

You will want burn status
It contribute very huge on your true damage output,and it melts boss and melee elites
dmg/cloud radius/burn is priority,warp res/quell speed is less important,it is because as purgatus user you dont really got peril issue,because you kill multiple enemies as aoe and tigger very often your class passive to quell your peril.Warp flurry imo is very important,it makes you more versatil to certain situation,it can reduce to at most 50% charge speed if fully stacked at most,so when you have little room to manueve,lmb small charge dodge small charge medium charge big charge big charge,you burn everything even ragers and maulers,1.5 to 2 full charge also kill crashers irrc.
And lmb is abuseable to stunlock packed rangeds,its very peril efficient suprisely

I fully understand how to play Psycher,

But the difference between playing a Psycher and playing a Zealot and what is survivable and what you can kill is like night and day. On any given board I can, with Zealot survive and onslaught by Specials + Elites + Horde all at once. I cannot do so on Psycher nor can you. There is a clear power difference between those two.

Iā€™ve only played Vet on Heresy a few times and never on Damnation, but even that one was much more survivable and more capable than the Psycher was. I have not tried Ogryn yet, but the ones Iā€™ve seen also have a much easier time than Psycher and do not die nearly as much.

This class is inherently weaker than the others, and does need work.

Because you dont play a psyker like how you play a zelote,they are completely diferent class and requier completely diferent mentality for completely diferent playstyle.If you start comparing facetank capacity between psyker and zelote then proceed to call psyker weak,then it is not psyker but your brain nee a big Buff
If you play an aflictlock for example the same way as combat rogue and complain why you cant hit 3 bottoms and do top dps as aflictlock,you better just dont play it,a perfect example taken from WoW 3.3.5

Lack of dps. This is the problemo. Cant deal with plagye ogryn or beast on damnation solo. Because u faster die from mutant, dog, horde or anything else then kill boss.

As zealot i accomplish damnation hi intence very easy. Flamer+hammer.

As psyker i cant do that because u cant survive multiple threats at once. Not because psyker is weak on tanking, because lack of dps.

I did comparation between psyker purgatus and zelote flammer already in another thread and the conclusion is that purgatus is actualy superior.You are just bad cant handle things and proceed to cry omg Buff.Buff cant save your noobish as high gs back in days in WoWdoesnt really help when you bad because dps is relative.Stop cry and get good monkeigh

You seem to have confused yourself with me.

Purgatus does not have what Flamer has, and no matter how you slice it Flamer is way more damaging. About the only thing that can be said is that thereā€™s no ammo for Purgatus, however, Flamer has much stronger stagger as well.

Things still slip through and get to you while using Purgatus, they dontā€™ on Flamer. Which is part of the reason you tend to die a lot more on Psycher. None of your attacks are really strong enough to hold off the enemies as well as the other classes.

The BEST you have is Brain Burst but it takes so long and requires multiple applications on Elites and Specials past Heresy and definitely in Damnation level play, itā€™s almost pointless.

There are Sooo many things about Psycher that are just flat out far weaker than the other classes that its not even funny. Almost every aspect of it is.

EDIT: PS I canā€™t believe you went through and had all my posts flagged and removed. Even the parts where I brought up 17 damage per tick on Flamer vs 11 dmg per tick on Purgatus. are you that afraid of what youā€™ll find?

Can you please give me some advice on Purgatus/Deflector (perks and curios)?

Iā€™ve been maining Surge since I got the game, but it doesnā€™t feel like it is working as good in Heresy+ as it does on Malice.

Way too often randos in the team believe that they can just leave me by myself because, I can in (their mind) solo the horde, which I just canā€™t in Heresy+ becaue I build Peril fater than I can kill off the horde .

I donā€™t have the supress blessing on my staff either, but just maybe I can do better with a Purgatus??

if the randos team doesnā€™t

if you only care about (damaging),you must have delete this game,or at least stop play psyker thanks
Even it doesnt use ammo along make it a juicy benefit for the team,and you can use it free,against few packs,and with flammer you spam it without think,I will insta votekick you if I am on vet,thanks
If someone only care about comparing how much HIMSELF can kill in a vacuum,ignoring it is a team play game,then thats the exact reason why that guy cant clean damnation dif runs without being hard carried xd.
And talking about flamer weapon in general only considering (omg tick dmg):slight_smile:
Do you know why a purgatus psyker is a decent dps against monstrosities?Clearly not because the dmg per tick per se.L2p,you dont even understand some very basic mechanic and yet cry so loundly

And dont cry bro you guys intentionaly derailed my post about how psyker is not weak to make it locked,and send me threats in messege because I exposed you that you are a bad player,so why even bother being your posts flagged???Mature up.

curios I go for stamina
perks you must have 12% block efficiency
the rest you can go for sprint efficiency/stamina restoration speed/corruption resist.Dont bother with grimoire because it is currently bugged
Idk if they fixed it yet
Surge is very overrated because if your team being good enough the hard cc isnt really needed and if not so you are pretty defenseless when your team failed you,except you are a really good dancer and you can almost get survive against everything with your duelingsword
On purgatus staff you want and you must have warp flurry and concentrated channeling
On fs what matter imo is 20% block efficiency,and the blessing you can go for deflector/exorcist/anihilation or wtever.Its not really important when one of them is deflector

waste 50% peril to blow up things only to find they didnt die and now they are prone,and circling your team instead of stand up and from one front.I personaly dont really fancy with trauma,this is a staff which DOES need a buff
I know you want to say omg cc,you can small charge it etcā€¦then,proceed to use a voidstrike,it does everything literally better.
As long as people dont cry and make fake assumption just because they are bad at skill ,I dont find I have responsability to tell anyone how to play.If you dont ask I dont responde
