one thing that would also improve the QoL while playing psyker would be giving us the option to turn off the peril sounds and visuals, it’s so damn annoying and completely takes you out of the experience. Constant screaming really hurts the audio design, you can still hear specials and elites but watching pskyer gameplay videos just makes the game look awful
For anyone who might look here and did not read the patchnotes of Update 1.0.25 on Feb 07th, consider that the following changes were made:
- Fixed an issue where ‘Warp Charge’ cost would incorrectly increase when using ‘Brain Burst’.
- Fixed issue where Psykinetic abilities sometimes would get interrupted by being stunned.
Psykinetic tweaks:
- Increased the damage bonus gained from ‘Warp Siphon’ by 3% → 4% per Warp Charge
- ‘Warp Siphon’ charges will now fall off gradually
- Increased the damage and stagger of ‘Brain Burst’ by 10%.
- Increased the damage taken by the target from 15% → 25% when using ‘Cerebral Lacerations
- Fixed issue where ‘Kinetic Overload’ could target dead enemies.
The Buff to BB damage and bonus dmg from Warp Charges, now allows to
- 2 shot Bulwarks at Damnation difficulty with 4 WC
- 3 shot mutants at Damnation difficulty with 6 WC
We are still a few % short of 1 shotting Flamers and Ragers on Damnation, even with 6 Warp Charges, but they will be left with such low amounts of health, that basically any follow up attack will kill them.
However, due to the WC now decaying one by one instead of disappearing all at once, not getting a guaranteed kill on those enemies seems completely fine.
Also, intended or not:
This bonus damage effect also applies to Brain Burst and to Soulblaze (would expect those to be warp damage, no?).
The staff attacks seem to count as warp attacks and are not boosted.
Yeah the 1.0.25 changes are fantastic, I couldn’t realisticly expect more for Psyker. Most changes are very meaningful, I should test new BB breakpoints if there are any. Let’s celebrate this day!
Ok and now re-read the message you responded to. 
didnt test anything below damnation though.
Does the bonus from Psykinetics Wrath (+5-15% damage with warp attacks depending on peril) also apply to BB? Cannot test today.
Nope. Psykinetic’s Wrath buffs „force weapon attacks“ and does not affect BB (tested).
You couldnt realistically expect more for Psyker? Their talent tree is still a mess.
Removing half of the guns from the psyker ranged weapon pool would go a long way to make them feel like they aren’t cursed by FatShark. They are there to grief me every time I check the weapon shop or Melk. I’d love to hear excuses for this, but what would it matter?
Yes, I’d love to see a rework but I honestly don’t expect the devs to do it before 2025.
Fair.
