I realize I haven't answered the question. Honestly I wish I had started on hard rather than normal, but now I'll just finish the game as I don't have the time to restart again. The only issues I have had were trying to do the burrower area in GMS quite early on, and trying to take on death stalkers at level 12 with very low perception.Įverything else, especially biological enemies with pyromaniac, has been a breeze. I also have good CC and single target if needed. I don't have many movement points so I tend to use corners and choke-points to group the enemy then aoe them heavily. Personally as soon as was able to craft a psi riot armor alongside a relatively good psi headband, at the moment focusing on crit damage and electrokinesis damage, I spiked hard in power after already being very powerful at that point in the game.

I have taken points in all crafting skills apart from chemistry up to about 50ish adjusted value, melee to about 50 adjusted just for the early game, TC, PK, and MT are all around 100 adjusted and around 50-60 real, with TM less at around 36 real because I don't use it as much. (Obviously I dumped agility perception, and dexterity) Personally I have been playing a heavy armor psyker with high con, medium str, high will, medium int around 8/9, 7, 12, 7 on my character currently. I think that really depends on your playstyle. There are a few ok armors and weapons out there, if you know exactly what you are looking for.

Higher quality components => better gear => more damage. And you'll likely want mercantile for the same reason. And psi users want their beetle vests and headbands. Since we are talking crit stacking - infused rathound leather is another thing that will likely have to happen. Pretty much anything that doesn't stack crit is not viable for dominating and maybe even for hard, imo. Then said more damage is modified by weapon skill and then you multiply the result on crits. Pure math-wise crafting is pretty much essential. Depends on the difficulty(full disclosure I've never played below hard, so can't 100% say what's below doesn't apply to lower difficulties).
