Staff psykers sucks, try melee and guns
Just my thoughts. Fatshark hates psykers and they nerfed their staffs to be crap.
Try playing with melee weapons and guns. Not as good as zealot, but it actually makes psyker viable and not a burden on the team.

Psyker is great. I especially love the trauma staff with blazing spirit. I'd take a staff psyker on my team over a dozen stealth stealth veterans or stealth zealots.

Obvious bait is obvious.

You still need to be carried by zealots or ogryms who can solo success, while psyker is dead if left alone with no babysitting.
And who cares about staff pathetic damage. Just use a weapon which kills stuff instead of prolongs time for someone else to kill stuff for you.

Tell me you havent tried melee or guns without telling me.
I can kill stuff x5 faster with a gun compared to your pathetic void staff damage.

I can kill stuff x3 faster with a gun compared to your pathetic void staff damage.

Tell me you play low int sedition where you get carried without telling me.

I more often than not have the most damage in the lobby. Psyker has no trouble out damaging either of them.

Skill issue, obivously. I handle elites and specials on my own and stop entire hordes in their tracks if needed.

Smite is the only good blitz psyker has. But you're just a team "plaything" who spams it throughout the entire game. Very "fun".

You are a cannon capable of dishing out damage and horde-clear for free that no other class could possible reach. If your team in this TEAM ORIENTED SHOOTER protects you then you'll have the freedom to fully exert this.

While I dislike playing Psyker because you are reliant on others, that's not a fault of the classes game design, it's the fault of most pug players having all thumbs and no brains.

I talking about staffs which is crap. Why would you bother with voidstaff for example when you can remove heretic ogrym in less than a second with a gun? How much time does it take for a staff? How many charges? With slow azz projectile traveling speed, you also can miss pretty easy. You do 1-1.8k damage with a slow azz staff while my single bullet does 500 with magazine size of 55.

How many slow azz bubbles you need to cast to remove a mutant? My single power strike with a sword does 3k.

Psyker with relover one shoots elite and sword for the horde GG.

Got a REALLY good Ia drop so I thought 'what the hell' and built a gunpsycker around it.

Didn't like it. Went back to void staff.

Don't know why you call out melee. Everybody has to melee and psyker gets a nice workable selection of melee weapons.

Gun Psykers are just Veterans in denial.
