I tried it and i exploded 4 times then i respec into something useful.
Can someone enlighten me why or how to use this?
Melee duelling sword
Key is that, more you kill enemies, less peril you get
So find any weapon that can mass kill.
Personally, i really love the duelling sword cause with scier gaze and it, you can move too fast.
However, you are a little weak.
I have read to use scier gaze with revolver, by the past.
I have one, however I use the ability only with a melee weapon
This is a clearly an ability that take place in a critic template (like both human class has one)
And yes, avoid any weapon that generates peril or you will explode. Anyways, this ability is clearly something for non warp weapons (or without using actions that generates peril)

Basically it auto genrates peril when you proc it, so you (usually) don’t want to use peril generating abilities while using. Its best on Gun or melee psyker. Illissi and Deimos force sword are great while using it but you probably dont want to use the special action while in Gaze.

And i thought it was to buff Asail. Thanks for the info makes total sense.
Also not sure if you know this or not, but the ability will bring you up to 100 peril but won’t kill you, so when you see your peril massively spiking don’t panic. When you activate Gaze sooner or later you will hate 100 peril, it is impossible to stop it. So just use “mundane” weapons, and when you reach 100 peril you can either continue to use mundane weapons or try to quell peril and switch to a staff or something.
Scrier’s Gaze is for trading peril to damage.
It works perfectly fine with all things that don’t ramp up your peril too much. This generally covers everything but smite and assail.
You can totally use gaze with staves, with force swords, etc. Just be mindful of the counter. You can use it with Empowered Psionics to get a couple 0-cost blitzes out (I’m not saying it’s a great build, but you can).
Scryer’s seems so shine with a force sword where you can just press R to quickly clear peril, especially the illsi (but deimos is also very good)
if you run empowered psyonics and assail you can turn yourself into a zealot lite that is constantly generating toughness (from the perks that grant toughness on peril generation/clear) and gains a whopping 40% power, 10% crit and 30% finesse that means you can just mash through waves, block ranged fire (if you have deflector ofc) and if you take exorcist you can go a while without having to purge when hitting a horde or if you take blazing spirit you can have spreading flames as you mash your way through hordes
if i am making scryer sound good it still isn’t. some times if you shove while at max peril you just explode (i do not know why but the full shove generates like 1% peril which is lethal when at max close to the end of the buff) also do not use a staff at all, you should have either brain burst or assail with empowered psyonics and you should be using the empowered attacks as a “safe” range attack so you can’t blow yourself up, essentially any other warp attack will end scryer’s gaze prematurely if not outright kill you.
tldr use melee and remember you can still actively clear peril while the debuff is active
Laspistol / Revolver wielding Gun Psykers
(And basically any melee weapon for burst damage and lots of synergies with crit based talents)
A weapon that doesn’t generate Peril.
