I think turning off the game is bad, tbh.

All staves should be weak to armour to force psykers to learn melee

i dont think it would do anything good for the staff, aside from extra boss damage for everyone else.
its pretty much a single target staff adding extra damage to a target wont do anything for something thats almost always less than 50% away from death flurry would still be better

No. Staves can be balanced by decreasing quell speed and replacing Psy Aura completely with something else that isnāt CDR to push Psykers toward melee, making them all simultaneously bad against armor is not the answer.
why should they? going from zealot/ogryn back to psyker i noticed how awful psyker melees feel. force greatswords and illisi feel like they have negative attack speed. deimos and now obscurus are the only two that even feel functional. and deimos doesnt even have a real combo aside from spam H2.
not to mention that defensive PAs are counter intuitive with talents like kinetic flayer i got blown up twice trying to force push a burster.
ābUt YoU sHoULdnt Push The BursTErā
so should i have to knowingly kneecap my damage by not picking a good talent just to have a functioning PA?

Iād love to melee more. Unfortunately for me I donāt like most of my melee weapon options and most of the skills that help melee are exclusively on the right side of the tree.
Even then, Iād still be miles behind every other class in melee, so much so that it isnāt funny. Dueling sword was like our one thing that could put us on a level playing field and then they went and gave it to every other class. Now everyone is using dueling sword lol.
skill issue tbh
again, skill issue. just push the burster, dont push attack
kinetic flayer contributes very little damage, build issue
being able to nuke dangerous armoured melee elites from range is bad
Basically before smite came in a ruined everything.
With a weapon and blitz that are stepping on each other toes.
Oh really?
So Og grenade launcher bad
Plasma Gun bad
A colombus autogun on vet with onslaught, will slaughter any enemy within 1/2 charges of a BB or Electrokentic charge, bad
But a piddly little sword can kill in in no time, is great.
pffft
What is this insanity that I am reading.
I think melee should be all but removed from game and only viaable in dire circumstances and make the game about range damage.
Because my feelings and opinions are more important than yours.
Or maybe, you should realise that people should the freedom to build their characters how they want and that all play styles, classes, and weapons are viable, and should be balanced for as best as possible.
As it is impossible to get a perfect balance for all the weapons, but you it should bloody well be aiming for it.
Funniest post ever, as it is so weak.
Just goes to show how poorly balanced the devs have made this game.
The last thing a Psyker should be relying is just a normal bit of metal for melee.
the most OP weapon in the game right now, yes
yes very obviously to anyone who plays the game
yes
dont remember ever saying the dueling sword should be able to destroy armoured enemies instantly either

All of these are bad balance

Being able to get invulnerability every two minutes for doing absolutely nothing is bad. Being able to go invisible on demand with Shroud + Invocation of Death, dump all aggro on teammates is bad. Being able to perma stun ādangerousā elites with Krourk light attacks is bad. Being able to spam nigh infinite cleave Plasma lights without consequence is bad.
Thereās a lot of bad things that need fixing.
Like I said, for staves itās addressing Quell and CDR through Psy Aura. What exactly is it youāre looking for?

yeah including armour penetrating ranged weapons, your point?
Circular arguments are pointless and draining. If youāre not going to offer anything of substance, Iām going to consider this discussion over.
the original discussion was about making staves more effective against armour, you brought up all this other stuff that has nothing to do with the topic as if it changes my point

your initial point is also just wrong all of psykers melee options feel worse than any other class exclusive melee weapon
