Brain Rupture base damage could be increased by 20% and it then would be on par to the pre-class rework version. Currently it three shots all ogryns, which I do not think is intended.
Compare to the pre-class rework version, in which we did not have any of those nodes and such, then Brain Burst was able to 2 shot all ogryns.
This 20% damage increase would make it on par to the nerf it got during the class rework.
“Erm, but than there would be no reason to take Empowered Psionics as a keystone!” - 
On a serious note I do believe this is a more serious problem with Empowered Psionics as a keystone. It requires extremely delicate balance to ensure that the base blitzes feel good to use, while the empowered blitzes feel like a meaningful upgrade but are not op. A balance I do not believe Fatshark is capable of implementing. Personally to me it seems like they are going the route of making blitzes on Psyker feel somewhat weak and have EP make them preform in a more fun manner. I would like to see the Psyker Blitzes all get touch ups and have EP replaced with a different, more interesting keystone option.
Honestly it is very very simple to implement a balanced psionics. You can separately affect every part of those, so no bleed over issues between blitzes.
Brain Rupture main issue is the slow casting speed, so psionics can most target that.
Buff Brain Rupture, nerf Psionic Damage buff, then maybe increase casting speed to give it meaningfulness again, or give the psionic brain rupture an AoE, so many options to make the psionic meaningful even if the ability itself gets a buff to make it reasonable.
