Ravagers. Sometimes Venoms.

Edit: Doesn't Prescience let you re-roll all hits? If so, sometimes assault units

Yes. Presience on a beastpack full of Razorwing flocks is awesome.

Depends very much on the situation. I use prescience mostly on my Wright knight and guide on ravager due to cc element of the WK. Guided venom is a fun when trying to down flying monstrous creature.

Not exactly a new idea as DE players have been fielding Farseer allies since the start of 6e and using Prescience to do exactly that.

Twin linking reapers is pretty fun!  

Re-roll hits on 2x of your Venoms and target their Quad-gun. Now you can safely bring in your Crimson Hunter Exarch

The farseer with Guide and Prescience does help in increasing the consistency of the Dark Eldar list, especially when one would like to Alpha strike. Taking out that certain unit before it rampages through the army is a godsend. If the Farseer manages to roll Doom, alongside Guide and Prescience I consider the game as already within my hands.

My Farseer tends to be a sapper in that regards to my Dark Eldar army.

Some of the others are pretty good too. Fortune is great. Doom and guide combined is still super! What's best is that a farseer brings three powers standard. Love it. Be sure to bring grisly trophies to deal with failed psi tests. The farseer likes a little bit of S&M too!

It varies turn by turn and you'll want to Guide the unit which puts out the most shots. For this reason, I find that Guiding Eldar units is often better. War Walkers perform similarly to Ravagers point for point but the War Walkers put out more shots. I'd Guide Warp Spiders > War Walkers > large Warrior squads > Venoms (depending on squad size that turn or target) with a special shoutout to use Prescience on Hellions because they put out a lot of shooting and melee attacks.

I love guiding my dissie ravager. 9 ap2 shots re-rolling.

Guiding a tantalus is also fun!

That's not a bad shout at all. I've never tried them, never liked the look of them on paper, but twin-linking really would make them nasty.

Would also be very useful for a Reaver unit intent on assault. Including shooting before hand, each Reaver will be rolling 4 or 5 dice to hit each. Re-rolling to hit could make a big difference there. Similarly Hellions, if anyone ever uses them...

Every time I ally my Farseer into my list he makes the things in my army that cause carnage cause even more carnage   He just sits at the back between a pair of shooty units, totally out of sight of the enemy so they can't shut him up easily. I think I've been very lucky and ended up with Doom as my third power alongside Guide and Prescience for three games in a row. Last game, however, whilst fielding him as part of my pure Biel-Tan army, I rolled on the Divination table, already saying "Oh look, prescience," before stopping myself when I saw it was a four. Perfect Timing - the Farseer and his unit ignore cover? And I have Dark Reapers? And these powers are rolled for before deployment so I can put him with whoever I like? Tasty... Suffice to say, the Dark Reapers had a lot of fun that game! Guiding the Fire Prism behind him whilst Dooming the swooping Daemon Prince that was just in range was also as good as ever.

yeah i finally added a farseer to my list TWL ravager's and venoms is just fun gives you a better chance to take out those interceptor weapons before the voidraven and crimson hunter appear
