Surge staff is the worst staff in the game and I'm tired of pretending that its not

This sums up the difference in opinions in this thread. For many, hordes are not an issue, it’s the elites and specials.

If hordes are killing you, learn to switch to melee quicker, and work on blocks, pushes, dodges, and everything else besides left-click spam.

Surge staff is good at its role, and saves lives as much as any horde-clear weapon, if not more.

Yeah, it’s almost like there is FS that is extremely good at killing hordes, which balances out all the weakness Surge has against a mass of chaff…

Unfortunately it’s in the jump that it’s failed for me. Hectic situations though, so no way of knowing if some numpty shot it mid-jump, but presumably that shouldn’t matter anymore.

Yeah and even before the Illsi, there was always the Caxe. TBH, no Psyker should ever be just on their staff, with Purge the ones who should melee the least. Funnily enough Surge Psykers tend to stay on the staff too much, while Purge Psykers don’t use the staff as much as they should :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve beaten over 30 Hi Intensity shock troop Damnation games and none of them were with surge staves on the team, only purg. CC is trash in this game; dead targets are permanently CCed. Bolter vet, shredder zealot, kinetic barrage psyker, ripper/stuber ogryn, nothing gets close to the team, so useless surge.

You clearly don’t play on damnation lol

Premade only?
If you are premade, claiming that CC is useless just because your premade group does not have use for it, is just incredibly stupid.

If you are not playing premade only, you must be the luckiest player ever, in regard to the random teammates you get.
Or maybe (and much more likely) you are full of crap.

Either way, what you claim to be your experience, does not reflect reality for pretty much anyone, so your opinion goes straight in the garbage.

Surge is the best stuf for damnation +stg +hi-intense, it make this an easy run.
And one more thing lots of players pick surge staff but to low to use it, they almost whole game move with theyr hands up and then complain that surge dont work…
