Maybe give the psyker a shotgun, auto, and sniper staff?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

i’m not gonna lie and say that the psyker is bad or that the psyker isn’t able to use any shotguns or long range or anything like that, i’m just going to say it how it is. psyker having a shotgun staff would make them seem better for straight CC and horde clear along with a sniper staff would make staves better for long range combat like the hellbor and the plazma gun. as for a staff that is full auto, i’m thinking that it should just be sienas beam staff from VT2 but actually kinda good.

i’ll explain how i think the staves should work if added.

the shotgun staff would summon warp rocks like the ones from assail but just a big chunk and uncontrollable, the secondary attack just charging the rock for more damage at the cost of giving you 50% to your boom meter.

the auto staff should just send out a beam of warp energy channeled by the user, the staff pushes the energy out in a concentrated beam that has less range than a normal staff but deals more overall damage at mid range. alt fire for the staff could just charge up a but of fire or a grenade or something, idk.

now for the sniper staff, i think it should summon a spear of warp rock and send it forward, dealing massive single target damage and staggering anything it doesn’t kill as it isn’t meant to kill a ton of guys, it’s just meant to deal a ton of single target damage. the alt fire however would deal much less damage but would be able to go through other enemies.

yes, i know that autoguns, revolvers, and the double barrel all exist, but i just really think that the psyker staves, being as good as they are, could use something to contrast the kenetic and laz weapons so that we have move variety and ability as psykers. and before anybody says anything, the staves are fine as they are, shut up.

you are describing Vermintide staves, we already have Trauma and Voidstrike that are rebrands of Conflagration and Fireball staves, you just asking them to add Bolt (sniper staff) and Beam staves, they won’t do it for the sake of their ‘‘this is not Vermintide’’ policy

Where have they said this policy ? And what about the 2nd Evicerator? Which is basically the Executioner Sword move set ?

Beam staff might reapear but maybe not like how it worked in Vt2.

Here having the beam attack work as the charged/channeled attack instead of the light.

it used to be an old advertisement for the game, but you are right, now are slowly integrating old ideas back

The only thing they’ve sais was that it wasn’t simply Vt2 in space. Doesn’t mean that they can’t reuse good bots from it
