Hi! I have confirmation. This is intended, but we must specify that it only affects Projectiles in the description, as this is causing understandable confusion. This Blessing only affects the Primary attack of the Force Staff, as well as the Secondary attack of the Voidstrike Staff.

It shouldnât be intended. Why have a blessing that no one sane would ever want to use? Can you imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to buff only the M1 attack of the Trauma staff?
The Trauma staff is incredibly and sorely lacking in worthwhile blessings. It has almost no crit modifier, and so the crit blessings exists only to enable the blazing spirit blessing.
Rending/brittle similarly has almost no effect on Trauma, so that blessing is also nearly worthless, but it at least helps allies do damage in theory.
Terrifying barrage? Trauma already staggers everything it could possibly stagger.
Sustained fire? Yet another blessing that only effects M1, and that no sane person would ever pick.
Whatever the Devs intended at some point, it should be obvious to the devs that nearly all of the blessings for Trauma should be reworked or replaced, and there are other staves with similarly worthless blessings.

I feel like those blessings(and other bad ones) are more like the devs doing the famous âRandom BSâ move because they ran out of ideas lol

Honestly speakingâŚthis decision doesnât make sense at all. So Surge is decent with the Voidstrike but pretty useless for all the other staves?
Can the devs consider making this talent apply uniformly to all primary and secondary attacks?

This is nonsensical balance and gameplay-versatility wise.
It is arbitrary to select this way, giving the fun double damage blessing only to the actual main-attack of the staff which is already best at pure damage, leaving the other staves without the fun double-damage blessing due to an âoriginal intentionâ of it being projectile based.
I hope the developers would re-examine if their reasoning is valid from a gameplay-enrichment point of view. Currently as is, there is a glaring lack of easily implementable enrichment.
Also it is quite awkward that it âbeing intendedâ is a downgrade from a bug to poor game design.

Could you help to raise this to the Devs please? We want more useful perks for the electrokinetic staff. Kindly review this perk again and make it work on secondary fire.
I personally donât think surge proccing on the best crit staff in the game is healthy, but I would like to see more specialized blessings across the board
The best crit staff has nothing to do with it.
Voidstrike is far worse when Surge procs than what Electrokinetic could ever do.
And be reminded that True Aim exists, and that Surge cannot headshot, unlike Voidstrike.
If Surge working as it should on Electrokinetic is not healthy, then the same grievance ought to be levied with more furor against Voidstrikeâs Surge.
If that is the intention it needs to be clearer imo.
