My Level 50 Psyker Build with videos.

[dustin1280]

This build plays all missions on impossible difficulty and the sweetspot (speed/challenge) for me is +300 Power reds. But I have done +400 missions in the past as well, the time/carefullness needed just isn't worth it.

What are they doing to AoE? Haven't really been paying attention.

Get you a good inoculator possibly? i dont know your gear but i have a inoculator that does the following:

Stat's
+25% more supply box charges
+3 capacity
+15% chance to free inoculator use
Medium and elite kills have 15% chance to drop a supply pack
+1% deflect
+1^ movement speed


Mods:
-20 % inoculator cooldown

+20% crit chance 5sec
+80 crit str 5sec

Makes a big difference for me takes me 4 min to do an impossible tarot since i can pop on boss and insta fry

Well it's just that the Optimal Dispersion skill is completely bugged and it makes AOE damage COMPLETELY insane...

Well i will go for that when it eventually drops, right now i can run impossible tarots in 3-4 minutes so the inoculator isn't a necessity. If I tried really hard I could probably get it down to 2ish minutes...

with your perk choice: Retrograde Psychic Dominion: +100% dmg at 0 heat

I think you have too much attack spell that generate Heat. Maybe the perk that +100% dmg at maxmium heat more suitable for you.

Medium and elite kills have 15% chance to drop a supply pack ..,,--this so very nice esp. when running high maps on hardest difficulty.

I am almost always at 0 heat.

So that isn't a big concern for me.

[Nishven]

More health on hit points, more defensive nodes on defense ? dps is already good.

[Singe]

is Retrograde Psychic Dominion (+100% dmg at 0 heat) working currently?
it doesn't seem like I get a damage boost from it

[Fox]

Perk:
Retrograde Psychic Dominion: +100% dps on 0 heat
Close Quarters Gunnery: +25% ranger dps against targets within medium range
Frenzon Dispenser: +10% crit, -10% max hp

ya its godly, have not seen anything else like it.

[dustin1280]

Someone suggested the heal 10% hp when you one shot something perk from single target tree on discord. That seems like a pretty good investment since the beam tends to one shot small mobs.

[TheChiv]

I would not give up on AOE just yet. Single target my firestorm can drop 8k on engines at yellow difficulty and 5k on red. And there is also a great amount of talk that BEAM is gonna get some nerf love too so dont put all your eggs in ones basket.

I have respec tokens saved up for every tree that I invested in, depending on how the nerfs go. I also buy respec tokens whenever they pop in the shop.

This. I just took it off and saw no change in my numbers. Which explains a lot. Gonna try Cull the Weak or a crit buff in the spot.

The best way to optimize a psyker is to:

1. Close your eyes
2. Plant your face on the keyboard
3. Faceroll to victory
