Honestly, I didn’t expect ‘you shouldn’t be able to rely on your blitz to handle 80-90% of all enemies for entire maps’ would be such a hot take or deserving of such aggro. That’s what assail does right now, what smykers actively try to do, and is also _exactly_ the sort of thing that got brain burst nerfed. Let me just quote Aqshy herself from [last year](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/community-update-1-pre-order-beta-hotfix-1-0-6/56182). (Emphasis mine.)

There is also a 10% change built into class to quell 10% peril on kill, allowing for additional casts. Faster active quelling, in general, with extra speed on staves, allow for more player control of peril levels.

I certainly didn’t expect being accused of lying and malevolently scheming to nerf the class. Well, at least not by you @Flawless . I just find current psyker to be really bloody boring due to the lack of build variety and I want to see it increased. Something that extends beyond assail, smyker, warpfire spam, voidstrike, utility shield boy, and laspistol/IAG gunker.
