It’s not for everyone but trauma is trashed way more than it deserves. I’ve been running a fair bit of Heresy with it and it feels very good there to me. Had to solo clutch with it a few times and it’s served me well. You really need good blast radius and charge rate rolls. Quell speed and damage are both also good to have good rolls on though not quite as important. Warp res is your dump stat, it saves around 5% peril between 0 and 80, it’s a useless stat on trauma even more than usual. Trauma handles dense hordes with scary elites mixed in like an absolute champ, it’s probably the best staff bar none if you ever end up cornered with a tough group bearing down on you (obviously you should try to avoid that situation in the first place but it happens). Not gonna try to argue it’s secretly the best staff or anything but it’s very solid if you give it time to get used to it.
The only changes I really want to see for Psyker are warp charges dropping off one at a time, slightly longer warp charge duration (+5 seconds would be fine), and a rework/buff for the 2 awful soulblaze feats. I’d have no major complaints about the class if those things were changed.
Trauma staff isn’t that bad and I’ve also used it on Heresy, but my problem with it is how much Peril it generates compared to other staves. With that one, I’m constantly holding R to maximize its usage, and also because only fully charged AOEs kills stuff instantly. Otherwise it’s a stagger machine.
The original post explicitly states that i don’t think BB is that bad, it’s ok as a utility tool. But you’re right that a lot of people are trashing it.
I guess thats one way of dealing with gunners, though getting up to 6 stacks for soul blaze is a pretty big effort just to deal with them, the problem is largely that it’s too slow.
I disagree that psyker doesn’t need buffs, i’ve been playing around in damnation with all classes since getting all the class penances, and i can say with certainty that psyker is the least survivable.
No,it doesnt need a buff,but your skill DOES need a buff
Why you cry how bb sucks,when bb can reliable take out snipers/bombers/gunners/shootgunners/trapers in situation veterans have dificulty to deal with for example under heavy fire pressure or/and behind some tricky cover???
Why you cry deflector is bad when it is a utility tactic option not a stand idle and tank shield?It is for you to take ranged while moving to next cover,charge up your purgatus and poke so you can melt enemies in distance!NOT FOR YOUR TO TANK DAEMONHOST!YOU PLAY IT WRONG BRO!
and why you cry flammer has more dmg and range than purgatus when purgatus is flexible,can slide on charge and free,and flammer need ammo and reload and cant just spam because ammo efficiency?ITS A TEAM PLAY GAME and the needless of ammo is a HUGE benefit to your team and make your playstyle more forgiving and versatil.It may doesnt make you kill more enemies in number but,if you concern about personal kills,delete this game pls it is not for you.And people like you are why we dont have scoreboard like VT2
And why you cry voidstrike cant snipe as good as a vet?Can a vet with kantrael MK XII knock bunch of maulers on ground to creat room for your team to breath?Can a vet with kantrael MK XII deal with hordes without resorting to meh power sword?(yes,power sword is op but,it has nothing to do with how psyker is weak).Voidstrike is not a sniper rifle,it is a versatil weapon ready for almost every situation to save your fatass
People being bad,refuse to git gud instead they cry omg why my class so weak
Like everyday in every videogames xd
YOUR psyker is the least survivable xd
And no,being survivable is being familiar with ones class and adopting particular playstyle to prevent you from dying,not omg rough tank capacity which psyker,is not,made for that
In my experience,as I only play damantion dif with my psyker,usually Im the most survivable member of my team,as a fs/deflector and purgatus psyker.I used to die a lot when Im new,when I dont familiared with my class,it is squishy and can take less hit than other class but,your survivability doesnt really on your tankness.
Otherwise,dont play psyker because you dont understand how to play it
Trauma is bad because it throw enemies around without killing them,so in the place that you have only 1 front,now you have being surrounded by 360degree with enemies prone but not dead which is more dangerous than stand up and alive…Also its peril efficiency is just meh
Sure you can make trauma work if you really good,but with a voidstrike you just do everything better
So anyone with a diferent opinion than yours and with a tone which speak with truth without caring about your pathetic emotion is a troll ,well try troll
Mind-in-motion isn’t very useful for me and I don’t run it anymore. I switch to a non-force melee like the knife or rapier so I can attack, block and dodge while my peril recovers. Also so I can sprint really fast to get some room to charge my next attack.
That’s a good point. Something I noticed with the ogryn charge with other players is enemies flung around and not getting cleaned up. Makes sense the same happens with the trauma staff. I haven’t found a good trauma or voidstrike staff yet so I haven’t used them in some time. Good meaning base weapon rank atleast 360 before blessings and perks.
A non force melee notariously a dueling sword,is the natural pair of your surge staff,but with purgatus staff you will want forcesword,because deflector is a must have for push distance,into a closer corner and charge your staff and poke,and fs special synergies perfectly with purgatus because it delete crashers while purgatus secondary is too slow to burn it.Diferent staves have diferent playstyle and need diferent melee weapons to pair with,but most psyker players just too impatient to learn,and instead of git gud they comparing weapons with vet weapons in a vacuum,then proceed to cry omg psyker weak
Mind in motion is useful in my experience,so you will not lack behind.Peril block is overkill with fs/deflector/stamina and block efficience,and is not useful on duelingsword because you rely more on movement than block.Psyker is not a tank but is very survivable if you know what I mean
peril block+block efficiency+dueling sword can make you tank daemonhost very easy though,your peril doesnt goes past 50% in the process,just some good dodge and dont even worry about using F to reset
and people overlooking sprint efficiency too much imo also
I roll 3 stamina,block effi and sprint effi
dmg reduction to certain special is useless because you just should not take dmg from them AT ALL
If you are unable to post without littering your posts with rudeness and personal insults, then yes, you are a troll. Doubly so when you converse only with another completely new account, which oddly enough seems to agree with you.
If you take speaking about facts as personal insults,then its not a game for you,its r18 and I think snowflakes should move to something more friendly to their ego and emotion
And what is wrong with completely new account?You expecting no new comers to the forum and expecting it dies?How kind hearted you are lmao
Besides,talking about personal insults that you were just insulted me,calling me a troll just because I am new to the forum…and you cry for being insulted because I said you play you class wrong???
meh bro
Well its not weapon stats when we talk about Trauma,its the mechanic which made it is bad
Its more a anouyance to me than a help,as I mentioned it throw enemies around but alive
Voidstrike can hard cc maulers even crashers as well and actualy kill trash mobs,it does everything better than Trauma and is more peril efficient
And weapon rank isnt always important because you can always ditch some stat,as certain stat is useless in certain weapon
Oh yeah. I nearly tanked a deamonhost awhile ago but my teammates were scared and I panic clicked a button when trying to hit the mic to say my block is working, help kill it. That miss click let my guard down, got staggered then done over. I was so surprised but haven’t tried it since.
I’ll have to revist the force sword and purgatus staff. I have a low rank with deflector. I saw someone run that on damnation. It was a bad start with the odds completely stacked but they did alright and nearly saved me. Others were bots. Oh, quick start cruelty.
Yeah, when I die a lot on psyker I am gambling being greedy or have a team runing all over and no resemblance of a frontline. Or snipers. They be very quick sometimes and if the team has grimRAWs, yeah, downed or ded.
Snipers somehow can be bugged,they apear without visual or sound effect and insta strike you dead,its a known bug and dont need to be ashame of if being killed in such situation
I have switched from surge staff to purgatus from a while a go,and recording some of my gameplays from a newbie to much better haha

Yeah my account is new, but I have played since private beta and early access. MyuFoxy if you want to check my hours or whatever. Psyker is all I played, she’s awesome. I recently made a vet. Anyways, I joined the forum to find out about how perks actually work because the descriptions don’t work. I just thought this post was interesting because I felt similar in the beginning. Especially because peril was easier to manage in the betas.
I didn’t read the argument you had because I don’t like toxic things and only reason I am around warhammer is because of my boyfriend. Otherwise a lot of the guy are pretty mean. So please don’t chase me away dragging me into whatever problems you had.
I guess the fact that I only played psyker does give me only that view haha. For what it’s worth I am a Souls fan, so player punishment is something I do expect. Regardless, I enjoy the class and find that I do well.
Yes, it is easier to carry new people with my vet, and she an easier class requiring less battle awareness and management. But that doesn’t make my psyker bad or unplayable in my opinion. I still prefer my psyker. Only made my vet to please my boyfriend to be honest.
