This Brain Burster build, focuses and relies on using you brain burst ability. Brain Rupture does immense damage to single target enemies, with added benefits as your get more skills. Brain Rupture should be used as much as possible, as frequently as possible. The more elites/specials you eliminate for you team, the better. This build includes many different ways to reduce your peril. Use your combat ability freely, and frequently. Your role is to eliminate elites/specialists as swiftly as possible. What the Psyker lacks is maneuverability and could have better survivability, but excels at very high burst damage, killing elites/specialist before they become a threat.
One of the strongest melee weapons for the Psyker, the Force Greatsword is versatile and comes with some amazing perk combinations.
For blessing with this build, Shred and Blazing Spirit are 2 great perks to have. Having increased critical hit chance just by hitting enemies with consecutive attacks makes for a pretty devastating weapon. The more critical hits, the faster the enemy dies. Playing into critical hits, Blazing Spirit applies stacks of soulblaze on enemies when you get criticals. Alongsie Shred which increases critical chances on it own, the 2 pair very nicely together.
For perks, Unyielding and Carapace cover the enemy types were you can’t effectively use your staff against, or when your peril is too high.
The Voidstrike staff is easily considered one of the best staffs available for the Psyker. It has great attacks, both charged and uncharged, able to deal with hordes and tougher enemies.
Warp Nexus is a great perk with this brain burst build. Since you’ll be operating a high peril levels, between your ability and your staff, having a scaling increase of critical chance will nearly always be used. Warp Flurry is great to increase the frequency you can use your heavy attack by reducing the charge time. Do keep an eye on your peril levels, as the more you use it, the faster it will climb.
Carapace and Flak cover a wide range of armored targets. When your not brain bursting them, heavy attacks with the void staff will cut through them with relative ease. Its a good second option.

Curios are really flexible, with only a couple perks that really benefit builds. In this case, Toughness can be substituted for Health if required, but toughness is still recommended. You might want at least 1 Curio to have 1 Wounds on it, wounds increase the amount of health bars you have. This is beneficial, especially on higher difficulties, as it allows some leeway if mistakes happen, or you get overwhelmed.
Stamina Regen is really important and should be the only modifier you go for one each Curio you use. Combat Ability Regen is very useful to activate your ability more often, keeping your offense as strong as possible.
