Lemme preface this by saying: I’m a terrible Psyker and it’s the only class I really have a hard time wrapping my smooth Zealot brain around… But, why does this staff feel HORRIBLE to use? [20231229014214_1] Original perk was either t3 sprint or stamina and the original blessing was t3 Terrifyin…

[image] NihilistZealot: Guessing my build could use some work, too Check out the bottom right branch in the talent tree. The one that ends in the bottom right keystone. One of the first talents of that branch makes your next ranged attack a guaranteed crit, after hitting 5 headshots (with a…

I’ve been using similar staff myself (60% warp resistance 379 rating). You can use charged attacks, but unless you make yourself a real glass canon or are good at headshots, it will be hard to rely on critical hits constantly. Here is my build where try to make almost every shot a crit: [i…

There are 2 ways to play with it: Spam low-charged attacks for high suppression and okayish damage. Do ~full charge to one/two shot most targets. I am finding it more fun when doing both, otherwise it gets pretty stale and boring. Overall, your staff is good, just aim for the head.

[image] zaygr: I don’t really charge with it, just spam quick secondaries. Yeah, this is basically the approach I see most people adopting with far more efficacy (different rolls I’m guessing). [image] Flawless: Check out the bottom right branch in the talent tree. Yeah, aware of that…

[image] NihilistZealot: Psykhanium is next to useless to me since it doesn’t give me feedback about how an ACTUAL run in Damnation goes. In theory, everything should be the same, but in practice that data isn’t useful since the game functions/performs entirely differently (between latency and gh…

Be sure to aim the bolts at head level, other than that i really don’t see any reason why it should feel horrible. Staff with those stats can also easily be slapped into basically any psyker build so unless you are running something absolute troll, it should be slapping pretty hard.

[image] NihilistZealot: why does this staff feel HORRIBLE to use? the only or first thing i can think of is Warp Flurry for shorter charge times. Surge 4 is nice, i also want to try that, but my favorite is the Surge Staff with Flurry and Terrifying Barrage.

There’s a mod for manually changing height, very helpful for maximizing damage with this weapon. But everything has mostly been said. I like warp flurry more on void though, you get the crits guaranteed from the node. So that could definitely be improved slightly with a new staff (joy).

I’ve been finding the fire damage on crit to be a bit more effective than the double shot (even though you’d think 2x damage is better) simply cause a full charged hit already one shots weaker units, a crit hit will kill (almost) everything and then start a fire that sets everything in the blast ra…

I’ve been maining 2 psykers since release and it’s by far my favorite class! Since Oct 3:rd’s class overhaul & other changes, that same Void you have has become by far my favorite weapon. Trauma is still better overall, but after a year of nothing but Trauma it’s just too boring now. Void meanwhile …
