I think it’s a common opinion that Psyker’s Blitzes have some issues. I have some suggestions. Brain Burst Is mostly okay. Popping heads is pretty fun, but it’s kind of bland at the same time. I would suggest a minor tweak to make it a little more fun; perhaps show a shrinking ring around the e…

As a Psyker main, I do agree with you that the Blitzes could be a little more fun or varied in their functionality since they are the principal part of the Psyker’s kit. I like the suggestion that they have multiple “fire modes”, but some of your other proposals don’t sound like they would gel well …

The Brain Burst concept came from me thinking that it wasn’t very interesting when I had to pop the heads of multiple enemies at range. I mean, perhaps the timed press wouldn’t be good, but my thought was to keep it okay and give it some sort of buff so you want to engage with it, but don’t have to…

After giving it a bit more thought: I can’t really think of any change I’d want for Brain Burst, aside from the aforementioned ability to release it mid-charge for lower damage. To encourage more conservative use of Smite while retaining its usefulness, I think this would work: Make the primary at…

[image] SpacedudeSal: After playing with Assail for a bit, I think this could work: Assail primary fire now fires 3 shards in a fan, and after traveling ~10m the shards change direction and converge on the target nearest to the crosshair. Damage increases based on the number of shards that hit t…

Fair enough. I mainly play with BB and hardly ever use Assail, so I was going on the assumption that Assail as it is is OP or trivializing in the hands of someone who really knows how to use it, and would need some massive drawback to be brought in line. I thought the unreliability was an issue wit…

The real issue with Assail is that, since each shard does pretty good damage and hits multiple enemies, players can just chuck out a bunch and annihilate a whole group of enemies - pretty much everything except Maulers, Ogryn, and Mutants gets massacred. Even armored Scab Gunners take a ton of dama…

I do think that smite should perhaps slow enemies down with a chance to stun on a crit. That way it at least allows for almost the same style of play but doesnt take away the challenge of the missions. In Auric you almost always want smite just because of situations that can easily get out of cont…

Yeah, it’s really, really common. I had two Smykers at once in a game yesterday, lol. Good ideas, btw. I mean, I assume that’s with some reduction to its duration/jumps or something?

[image] BizarreSalp: 20 seconds in a fully overclocked build on cooldown, but again, I vented all 10 and immediately got overheated, but never mind. The more I study this topic, the more it seems like you want to fix the psyker, making him even more pathetic than he is now. A psyker should not …

[image] BizarreSalp: In 10-15 seconds they can do it again These were the numbers on release and after the first CD nerf to assail. It’s almost as if your take come from a different patch :slight_smile: Not the first time this is being pointed out either.
