Loving melee psyker

Discussion

Melee psyker feels incredibly fun to play, granted I'm only playing on damnation (new to Darktide and all that). My god this thing puts out some crazy DPS. Force Greatsword VI with high peril and Scryer's hits like a truck, not to mention its moveset is absolutely ridiculous. Only downside is movement speed and dodge range, but that's solved somewhat with Scryer's and Disrupt Destiny.

I was under the impression I'd be extremely squishy, glass cannon and all, but I've found I'm able to survive pretty well. Scryer's Gaze + Just a Dream alone gives you 45% damage reduction... insane. Not to mention you literally block with peril instead of stamina and can block bullets if you get a certain blessing.

I'm sure things change once you reach the higher difficulties, but man so far this class feels insanely powerful, and fun!
