Kinetic Flayer talent -- Proc is lost when at critical peril

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Type (Required):

Talents

Issue Description (Required):

See title. The Kinetic Flayer talent for the Brain Burst blitz ability has a 12sec cooldown, and will not fire when at 97%+ peril. However, if the player hits a valid target while above this peril threshold then the talent will go on cooldown as if it had fired. The appearance of the cooldown buff confirms this.

This is extremely disruptive for a melee-focused Psyker, who typically wants to stay at critical peril as often as possible. The vast majority of Kinetic Flayer procs will thus be wasted.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play a psyker specced into the Kinetic Flayer talent in any context. The Psykhanium works fine.
  2. Build up to critical peril (97%+).
  3. Strike any Elite or Special. The Kinetic Flayer talent will not fire, as expected.
  4. Unexpectedly, the buff indicating that Kinetic Flayer is on cooldown will appear. The talent will not fire during this time, as expected. The proc has been wasted.
