Empowered Psionics and Surge staff interaction should stay

I know it’s bugged right now, but this actually introduced a really nice gameplay loop to psyker: an elite-focused caster, which can be implemented by making Surge actually consume Psionics stacks. a

Allowing Psyker to one/two shot elites(probably should three shot Ogryns) IF player doesnt waste stacks on anything but them. Boss damage will still suck, horde damage is already nerfed.

Psykers might get a nice, permanent playstyle out of this issue.

If the interaction were to stay, would there be any reason for Surge staff users to pick any other keystone? I haven’t seen the interaction in game just yet, but it sounds like it’d be a near-mandatory combination (especially with 100% proc on elite kill).

Surge staff is strong enough without this bug and doesn’t need any more power.

I do find the existence of this bug hilarious, because it means that somewhere in the spaghetti code, surge and smite are the same thing.
