Someone convince me that focus target is worth taking

You just wrote down what feels bad about it. It feels unnatural. Swapping weapons to keep up the melee buff feels bad.

When playing psyker, i swap weapons all the time, just to use them regularly.
Swapping weapons on vet, every 10 seconds in order to gain a massive melee buff, seems completely fine to me. You likely will have something to shoot every ~10 seconds anyway, when playing on damnation+. And thanks to the guaranteed crit on first shot, it is quite likely that you can 1-2tap the target (with some of the guns).

@Nish

suddenly losing dodge/attack speed and dodge distance feels extremely jarring.

Well you do have a buff indicator that shows you how long it lasts.

@Nish

If you go equip your ranged weapon with volley fire you don’t get the ranged buff

Well that sucks and is quite clearly a bug.

@Nish

Crit rate boost only applies to the first shot.

I would assume that this is intentional.
Just that many of FS’s descriptions are bad and some are flat out wrong.

I don’t think they take a lot of mental space at all.
They are probably less brain-use intensive, than the psyker keystones.

I disagree. I actually like the psyker one, even the highlight one that points out that 2-3 last shooters that want to sneak up on you.

Ok. You are free to disagree.

Although i do not understand why you would say that (use taking a lot of mental space and busy work) about a keystone that literally only requires you to tag enemies (which you should be doing anyway), to keep a 12% dmg buff active on everyone.

Or about a keystone that applies a buff to the weapon that you just swapped to.

Aside from that, if keystones are to be part of the identity of a build, they are to be somewhat gameplay relevant, no?
So if you have to do slight adjustments to your gameplay, in order to gain full benefit, that woul not be an issue at all to me.
