I see your point but apart from Divination none of the Primaris are really decent enough to make a difference. And if you're not taking Prescience why roll on Divination?

Anyway, I see your point but to me I wouldn't have a problem if it means I can play the game quicker.

It is not just divination, Telepathy is definitely worth swapping for pychic shriek is very good. Telekenesis is also not bad and you might swap if you knew all your other powers, even biomancy (I would swap Haemorage for smite if I did not want to keep it to increase odds on getting better powers.

In general you don't because when you roll on these trees you are trying to get better powers, but you might take the primaris more if you knew what else you were rolling.

As for reasons you are not taking prescience...I play screamer star Daemons so the order of powers I am looking for before I swap for prescience

Forewarning (4++ save)
Misfortune
Scriers Gaze
Precognition (on fate weaver, or in an FMC list on the Lord of Change)
Anything Else I would swap for prescience.

So going your way, I always end up with as advantageous set up as possible. Instead of rolling Foreboding (overwatch at BS) as my first roll, but keeping it to increase the chance I get Forewarning, because that is the power I want most.

There I guess is a slight disadvantage as well for rolling all at once, that if I get the power early on (say my first roll) I might then swap power trees.

Other power trees where rolling all at once helps

Any Tree with 3 options and a primaris, you always guarantee getting all the powers you want.
Eldar power trees (want fortune, don't want some others, might not swap)

LMAO at that video. Sad thing is, it's so true.

People rolling for all psy powers at once, rather than one at a time.

The only time I do this is when rolling for my Warlock Council as every model has the exact same load-out. The Warlocks who split off to lead Guardians (if any) each get their own separate roll, and any Warlocks with Spears are rolled as a separate group.
