Add a special action to Brain Burst that instantly pops heads but generates x% more peril and has a cooldown of y seconds

I am fine with how Brain Brust works on a mechanics level. I just wish it would kill enemies even on Damnation with one hit. I don’t think it needs an Instant option for more Peril, that is what you can precharge it for. It does exactly that. It should stop generating peril when fully charged tho, just like the Staffs.

RMB Brain Burst is pretty much useless though so, something could be done about it On the subject of Damnation i find it hilarious that maximum damage BB (6 warp stacks + Cerebral Lacerations) still leaves Crushers at 60HP after 2 hits I don’t know what basis they used for their change but that’s silly

Rather than instant I think better would be group brain bursting [like 3-4 targets closest to the main target] but it would build to 95% peril on use = meaning that second one without full venting would be instant “Kaaaabo00om” for psyker :wink: I would personally rather rework his talent tree & got rid of agony/soulblaze. Like maybe lv30 talent that discharges charges & give soul-burn to enemies… is just useless perk IMO. Changing it to be instant action but builds 45% peril per use. …or scrap maybe lv25 “Kinetic Overload” for another like faster brain bursting on low peril… but longer time the higher the peril goes. BTW. The whole Agony/Soulblaze on psyker also neads rework or buff to the dmg[it should work like the old bleeds without dmg reduction…were talking about melting brain not stabbing on armor & there should be beter DoT dmg from that to any enemy maybe except “zombies”/poxwalkers] is IMO trash talents that work but are not worth even considering…those can be easily thrown to garbage bin & probably no one would even notice it… & exchanged for something that is usable. something like that.

One of lv. 30 feats that increases bb cast speed is basically doing exactly what are u asking for. As for BB rmb action i can recommend chaotic torment. Special action that will deal continuous raising dmg and generate perils as long as u hold a button, which obviously will be more effective vs the most tough enemies in the game such as crushers and monstrosities. Maybe even add some kind of confusion effect to the spell that will CC that one enemy u are tormenting. Basically it would do the same dps as BB but instead of casting 3rd bb into 60 hp crusher the spell will kill it within next 0.5sec automatically. P.s. i also think that warp resist from both psyker weapons should affect the amount of perils that are generated by BB. Maybe partially but it should.

[image] DiLust: One of lv. 30 feats that increases bb cast speed is basically doing exactly what are u asking for. It really doesn’t tho. Sharpshooters and Zealots with Boltguns still kill most things that arent Elite or above before i get a chance to charge a brainburst. I saw a sharpshooter kill 4 ogryns in a single magdump before i managed to pop off a single brainburst

I mentioned this a while ago. [image] Defining the Psyker Gameplay Feedback Make a level perks that you can pick one of that give brain burst extra abilities. Interesting ones would ones that give you utility. BB goes off as well as the utility effect My ideas are fire lightings that stun in a AOE Warp fire explosion that’s like a fire nade but smaller and shorter than the fire nade the bomber throws. Small aoe explosion that throws the enemy to the ground rag dolling them. Works on ogryns. When you BB a second BB channelled on the same target channels 3 times as…

I shoved more than you & that is because you dont have anything to show except empty trash comment. I got around 600 hours where most time goes to psyker & sharpshooter [like 30% each],25% goes to ogryn & my last liked was zealot… & I bet I got a lot more to say about each class than you will have to say about even one. Dunno maybe your playing style is coming from games on low difficulties or you just dont look on numbers. This ability almost dont have any decent impact except maybe on shielded ogryns that still take a ton of dot dmg from any source. Maybe if it would make enemy unable to attack & caused a stagger run motion for him for the duration of the burn… then maybe it would be somewhat usable as a low key CC move but as it is now not worth wasting slot for it. I even had a fun “book run’s only” build with power sword with lvl IV apply soulblaze on crit & lvl IV stacking crit & it was more like a “toy” compared to what it is doing now after reblesing it. & yeah i used then also those agony talents… but it was for fun & escaping the routine. Don’t even tell me your main is psyker. Yes you can play psyker… whatever you like to but if you want to say that something is good or bad write at least why you think like that & as for now your your comment is just spam.

Well… if you think that the feat is trash, feel free to keep thinking that. The feat enables your ult to kill every single non tagable enemy that it hits (on damnation). That is quite useful Clearing an entire wave of a horde at the press of a button is pretty useful. Clearing an entire corridor of shooters at the press of a button is pretty useful. So how are you going to respond? Are you going to say that these things are not useful at all? Are you going to deny that the ult can do what i said it can? Are you going to change your mind? So yeah, i disagree with you and think that you do not know what you are talking about. You are free to have an uneducated opinion that disagrees with reality. I would just prefer if you kept it to yourself, instead of asking for a feat to be replaced on the basis of your own ignorance.

[image] Flawless: Well… if you think that the feat enabling you to kill every single fodder enemy that you hit with your ult, is useless… Keep thinking that. I disagree. Exactly what I expected… you just dont know what your main objective is as psyker. your main objective is taking enemies that are hard to get because they hunker down or killing fast moving specials with extension to CC. Psyker is also one of the best delaters of elites/specials where only a really good Sharpshooter can over-perform him just because chosen talents , weapon choice & awareness… not to mention volley fire it’s only a “cherry on the top”. Killing trash leave for close combatants… & help whenever you feel like you nead to do so[ I unusually use dueling sword with crit stacking & power stacking for hitting at least 3 enemies in one attack… it’s melts hordes & trash really effective & only flak armor pen even with 80 on bar is lacking for the weapon & thats why i use crit on it. If you want to kill gunners hiding behind covers… leave it for a decent sharpshooter or use brain-bursts… or just use staff secondaries on those. Whatever… I feel like you play “your game” & I play “my game” & if you have fun with it playing with “your toys” then I dont care anymore & don’t want to waste more time meaninglessly. I wrote what I think in those 2 posts above.
