I really wish the free brain rupture proc would only affect elites or specials, too many times i get the proc on a pox walker and then a bulwark comes waddling in
I wish that, too. As it stands, it's a complete waste of a talent point. There is no build that should be running it. It is completely unreliable and contributes almost nothing towards your damage output.
Maybe it changed, it is buged, or the tooltip information is not correct. But currently it works that the 10 second cooldown is separated for every enemy. So only the same enemy cannot be hit multiple times by it. When i am playing that free brain ruputure procs nearly every second, sometimes multiple times at once. So it is more like 10% chance to proc on every enemy, and once proced it doesn't proc for the same enemy again. Usually that anyway only happens for bosses.
I kind of adore the fact you use all classical music so effectively in your build guides. The builds are awesome as well. But yeah the music and your humor earned a sub and the builds earned a like as well.
Ogryn here, great game, great video. I was just checking new video of my favourite darktide youtuber and realised im in it :D good job with all your work, keep it up and see you in future games!
I really love your comprehensive walkthrough of your build and idea behind it. Also your love for the shield, and I really want to try and apply it more than I do (I'm a murder hobo and tend to forget being defensive -_-)
The Catachan sword is handy for this build, as ragers are the only thing that can get up on you quick enough to be any real threat. So the parry makes short work of them.
What I am wondering is: why do you use the bubble shield? For the tgh regen? I find that the square shield saved me and my team so much. When shit get spicy you just close one lane with shield and you have effectively negated trapper, dogs, mutie, flamer, pox burster and all the shooters in that lane. With the 2 charge of the square shield you almost always have a charges even when you don't run warp charges. You just flick your aim and trow a wall in front of a burster and it's dead or in a hord and it give you and your team time to kill the flamer in the back line. It have a learning curve a little. You need to place the shield at the right distance so the flamer still shoot and don't just run tru. Same with the trapper. For bomber you need to space it so it's a little bit farther from you so when the bomb hit the wall the aoe on the ground that pass tru the wall don't reach you.
I'm not sure if all players roll the same items for their respective classes in Sire Melks but there's a 531 Rating Voidstrike Staff with Surge on it right now. I had about 16 staffs in my inventory, all ready to dissapoint as I would have never gotten that roll. Well, thanks Melk!
good build, am gonna try it 100%. Thanks man ps: shield spam literally clutches games, so dont sleep on it people, when gunners spawn like poxwalker packs its must have!!!
Biggest problem being getting Surge blessings. Been rolling almost daily for a while now but no luck. This build being kind of pointless when the main component is so hard to get.
Void Bowler was, is, and forever will be my favorite type of build, but this one is a special breed of spicy. My version runs smite for the "ohshitohshitohshitohshit" moment button.
Also, i've always LOVED the force sword, but lately i've been finding that the catachan knife makes me go ridiculously fast. Nice for catching up, and I run it with Haymaker so its good for killing stuff too.
3:18 that was hilarious, mainly because you’re usually so serious. Some videos they make comments like this every 10-15 seconds and it’s irritating. But this one hit just right 😂
At the same time, I think you’ve gotta try out the perk that makes your blitz charge way faster for 10 seconds after dropping a shield (especially since your taking extra talents to have it off cooldown more often). It works so perfectly because often times you’re dropping a shield anyways when you’d want to pop a head, so it’s nice to be able to cast out a couple super fast head pops when you’re shielding if needed. In your purg build I actually dropped the 10% chance to quell with kill and I feel like it was well worth it. I don’t value that quell skill as much as the amount of quelling time it actually saves doesn’t feel as significant as how long it takes me to cast brain rupture without the speed up
Thanks for addressing the mods. I tried playing with mods once and it just caused the game to crash all the time. I'll have to check out your other video and see a better way to do it.
I have dusted off my deimos recently, and I do still really like it. I like how the illsi doesn't get stuck into targets, which gives you a little bit more freedom of movement. Think I might prefer the Deimos a little more at the moment though
Deimos force sword is WAY better for tough enemies. The warp attack is AMAZING for getting rid of ogryns and specialists. It does 1000-1500 damage depending on build.
I tried the build , and I haven't reach full level 30, still at level 14, but following the path of the build, but I notice something that it seem that my kills and my damages seems to not registered to me, and it was registered to some other of my team mates as I find it odd. Does it supposed to be like that ? I remember busy blasting off the assasination target shield and damages the target after the shield is gone, and killing off the crowds but somehow my damages toward the assasination target and the crowd kills doesn't registered. Unlike when I use other staff during lower levels though.
Venting shriek is good! Helpful for saving yourself if you find yourself about to self pop. I did try disrupt destiny, and i did find it works okay. I just wish it increased your crit chance instead of crit damage.
Sadly you can get mods on console. The health mod is the only I fell is practically a must the time saving knowing a light or something else can kill in x situation can save your life l. Maybe one day fat shark.
I always recommend to run what's best fitted for your playstyle. But for this used a +1 wound and 2 Toughness curios. All with Toughness and combat ability regen perks
Great build but Warp Charges just feel bad IMO. Want that awesome peril reduction and damage? Well to keep it you can't use your shield... Oh you want to use your shield? No increased damage or peril gen for you... I know you can get them back prety easily but still I hate feeling like I'm nerfing myself no matter what I do.
Kinetic Flayer seems like a complete waste of a node. Its 15s cooldown for 1 strike, meaning you can get max 4 strikes per minute. It looks nice when you kill a Crusher, but vast majority of these will trigger on some trash enemies which you already kill with Voidstike right away, thus being 100% useless. I think just about any other node you ca take is more valuable than this one. Dropping it for Empyrean Empowerment seems like a no-brainer move.

All of your guide have brought my game up from Heresy to Auric Damnation. Thanks Briggso
I really wish the free brain rupture proc would only affect elites or specials, too many times i get the proc on a pox walker and then a bulwark comes waddling in
I wish that, too.
As it stands, it's a complete waste of a talent point. There is no build that should be running it. It is completely unreliable and contributes almost nothing towards your damage output.
It can be handy against maulers and bosses, but at the cost of 2 talent points it's expensive.
Maybe it changed, it is buged, or the tooltip information is not correct. But currently it works that the 10 second cooldown is separated for every enemy. So only the same enemy cannot be hit multiple times by it. When i am playing that free brain ruputure procs nearly every second, sometimes multiple times at once.

@@David_Raab +. I noticed that too, with flame stuff.
OMG - making it Elite and Special _only_ would make it actually useful for when you and the boys get jumped by 8 Crushers!
Honestly, your psyker builds are excellent! Love em! Your deff my fav content creator/build creator for Darktide atm my man!
Its funny how seeing more team info, and your score at the end, makes the game feel complete.
Thank you for putting so much effort into these guides! They've certainly helped me improve, especially your Psyker vids.
I kind of adore the fact you use all classical music so effectively in your build guides. The builds are awesome as well. But yeah the music and your humor earned a sub and the builds earned a like as well.
Awesome build. I love that this game has so many options. Here's to more with the December update. Good stuff. Cheers!!!
I have found a ton of use turning off health bars for the mob units, helps you focus on the things that need to die quickly
Ogryn here, great game, great video. I was just checking new video of my favourite darktide youtuber and realised im in it :D good job with all your work, keep it up and see you in future games!
6:40 the mr thornberry smashing gif there killed me
I really love your comprehensive walkthrough of your build and idea behind it. Also your love for the shield, and I really want to try and apply it more than I do (I'm a murder hobo and tend to forget being defensive -_-)
Ayyyyy my comment about asking for the health bars was there much love dude ❤
The Catachan sword is handy for this build, as ragers are the only thing that can get up on you quick enough to be any real threat. So the parry makes short work of them.
Love all your build videos. Now if only I could get a voidstrike to roll with surge. The pain of RNG is real. 🙃
How about Warp Flurry? This staff charges the longest among the 4, the faster you charge the more DPS it puts out there.
What I am wondering is: why do you use the bubble shield? For the tgh regen? I find that the square shield saved me and my team so much. When shit get spicy you just close one lane with shield and you have effectively negated trapper, dogs, mutie, flamer, pox burster and all the shooters in that lane.

A build worthy of the emprah's grace!
I'm not sure if all players roll the same items for their respective classes in Sire Melks but there's a 531 Rating Voidstrike Staff with Surge on it right now. I had about 16 staffs in my inventory, all ready to dissapoint as I would have never gotten that roll. Well, thanks Melk!
Gonna give this build a try, unfortunately I don’t have that particular staff, I’ll have to use a flame staff or the lighting staff for now
Hey brigs could you make a new psyker assail build?
good build, am gonna try it 100%. Thanks man ps: shield spam literally clutches games, so dont sleep on it people, when gunners spawn like poxwalker packs its must have!!!
Biggest problem being getting Surge blessings. Been rolling almost daily for a while now but no luck.
This build being kind of pointless when the main component is so hard to get.
Void Bowler was, is, and forever will be my favorite type of build, but this one is a special breed of spicy. My version runs smite for the "ohshitohshitohshitohshit" moment button.
Also, i've always LOVED the force sword, but lately i've been finding that the catachan knife makes me go ridiculously fast. Nice for catching up, and I run it with Haymaker so its good for killing stuff too.
i'm running a similar build but i use smite instead of burst, the smite ticks can give weakspot stacks. works great for guaranteeing those crits
3:18 that was hilarious, mainly because you’re usually so serious. Some videos they make comments like this every 10-15 seconds and it’s irritating. But this one hit just right 😂

Going to try this tonight! Cheers
I just watched the video with darktide open and got the exact blessings from hadron haha
With a Voistrike + BB build like this how do you choose whether to burst or voidstrike things?
Good question!
This is why Smite or Assail would be better for this build
Does Blast Radius modifier matter on voidstrike? The site of impact doesn't seem as crucial compared to the Trauma force staff.
Which mod did you use that lets you swap the shield ability for venting shriek without having to re-do your entire skill tree again?
Shield is a must on Psyker, your team mates will thank you :p
Have you tried Deimos sward? Not sure why you would pick Illisi.... But maybe I'm missing something.
I have dusted off my deimos recently, and I do still really like it. I like how the illsi doesn't get stuck into targets, which gives you a little bit more freedom of movement. Think I might prefer the Deimos a little more at the moment though
For just blasting through with big dam, would you suggest this build or the flame staff build
Deimos force sword is WAY better for tough enemies. The warp attack is AMAZING for getting rid of ogryns and specialists. It does 1000-1500 damage depending on build.
Great Build!!!!
hot n spicy build men fakkin hell yaaassss
What about the curios’s?
I tried the build , and I haven't reach full level 30, still at level 14, but following the path of the build, but I notice something that it seem that my kills and my damages seems to not registered to me, and it was registered to some other of my team mates as I find it odd.

Unlike when I use other staff during lower levels though.
Hey Briggso, i do similar build, but i do venting shriek and i go stacking Disrupt destiny , what do you think about that over warp siphon?
Venting shriek is good! Helpful for saving yourself if you find yourself about to self pop. I did try disrupt destiny, and i did find it works okay. I just wish it increased your crit chance instead of crit damage.
So. Much. Knowledge! 😂
I gotta ask, is the rarity of the weapons required to be above 500?
Got Surge after upgrading 3 Voidstrikes to orange lmao
I generally run with smite. Total CC and shield is godtier
smite procks true aim brother
Sadly you can get mods on console. The health mod is the only I fell is practically a must the time saving knowing a light or something else can kill in x situation can save your life l. Maybe one day fat shark.
Health mod is a literal cheat.
whats on the Curio's?
I always recommend to run what's best fitted for your playstyle. But for this used a +1 wound and 2 Toughness curios. All with Toughness and combat ability regen perks
Great build but Warp Charges just feel bad IMO. Want that awesome peril reduction and damage? Well to keep it you can't use your shield... Oh you want to use your shield? No increased damage or peril gen for you... I know you can get them back prety easily but still I hate feeling like I'm nerfing myself no matter what I do.
Yeah I hate that it's the one keystone that doesn't want you to use the ability it buffs
i know some games ban you for modding anything online do we run that risk with this game at all

Without surge 4 blessing goodluck.
I've spent over 50k plasteal trying to get surge....
And I still don't have it...
I am sorry for your pain... took me 4 weeks of grinding evescerators to find one with bloodthirsty. The grind is real.
mfw kinetic flayer procs on a poxwalker for the 1000th time in a row 😐
First lol
