Smite has better damage than you might think, with EP. You can combine it with shriek for soulburn, but the smite meta is scrier's.
A good smite psyker I'm not trying to start an autistic argument about smite psykers not being able to be good, but relatively speaking, smiggers that don't go down every 3 seconds do exist tends to deal competitive damage on the scoreboard and usually has the most trash kills.
It's still obnoxious, but it is effective, and definitely not useless, just slow.
