Venting Shriek ability modifier should BRAIN BURST

Suggestion for Psyker’s Venting Shriek ability:

Warp Rapture (Venting Shriek ability modifier dealing 100-200 dmg) is generally considered much worse than the alternative Creeping Flames (Venting Shriek ability modifier applying Soul Flame) - have you considered reworking? Suggestion is to have Warp Rapture instead activate Brain Burst on horde in the AoE, with the number of affected enemies scaling with Peril. This would maintain the instant damage vs DoT trade-offs of the two ability modifiers while bringing Warp Rapture up to par (and being just a generally badass power fantasy).

It is a bit of a strange idea, to combine the Shriek with Brain Rupture.

I would suggest this for the Warp Rupture replacement:
Shriek becomes a radial effect with very strong knockback, and quells 100% peril.

I’m not sure if that would be practical/balanced but I really like the idea of psykers shouting people’s heads off. Very 40k.

Reminds me of when using Block-Push and it procs the BB or Smite effect depending upon your Blitz. Would be neat if there was a random proc on Block-Push that causes 1 or x amount of Assail Shard(s) to Proc hit targets in front of you.

I feel like with some of the new upcoming class reworks they are releasing with the Unlocked and Loaded update (September 26, 2023!) There are alot of things the Psyker is getting, and we are seeing new ways they add things in to expand upon each Archetypes “Class Variations” we get in the Talent Tree.

Hypothetically I am wondering if they are going to add a fourth or more additional branch(es) to the talent trees :thinking:
I know that seems far fetched of a thought since we currently see that the 3 branch talent tree is pretty stable in structuring builds based on varying degrees of ranged<–>all-rounder<–>melee variations (each class has it like so or flipped)
I know my thought is not going to be happening anytime soon, knowing that we are awaiting to see the game stability post-updar2 of Unlocked and Loaded
