about 15% more headshot damage would be nice. whatever the threshold is for one shot head shotting dreg gunners, flamers, ragers, and everything if there is pus hardened skin / rampaging havoc mods with a half charge and 15 disrupt destiny stacks. that would mean psykers could use this staff with bubble in havoc. good stuffs
The staff that already has infinite cleave as long as it doesn’t hit Carapace or a Monstrosity needs a damage buff so it can guarantee 1 shot headshots on gunners at half charge?
Why?

It’s already good with gaze. warp unbound and disrupt destiny.

That’s an understatement lol, it’s cracked with Warp Unbound and Disrupt Destiny. Point, charge, delete, repeat. Throw Nexus (or Flurry) and Surge on it, it’s a wrap.

so its more viable in havoc. right now its too unreliable at killing stuff. there are other breakpoints and havoc mods to consider
buffs are intended to make it viable without scriers so it can taken into havoc
No thanks, we don’t need a Plasma gun with infinte ammo.

Oh for god’s sake why? Havoc is meant to be the sweatfest mode, the biggest challenge currently available in the game. You want to balance a game around it, you’ll make it as trivial as Damnation currently is.
Then the sweaters will be asking for another new hard mode since Havoc became too easy and you’ll come crying to the forums to buff Voidstrike again so that’s it’s viable for this mode as well.
We need nerfs, not buffs. Fatshark’s “no nerf” policy brought us where we are right now with Duelling Sword, Voice of Command, Infernus Staff and made Damnation a clown mode. You’re playing Havoc of your own volition, don’t try to ruin the game for others as well.

all staves needs a nerf
and also a revamp to their M1 because some feel copy paste, sharing the same attack animation

A) Balancing breakpoints around Havoc is the perfect way to ruin the rest of the game
B) I guarantee you people succeed on Havoc without bubble. If you want more weapon variety in Havoc learn to play it without the brain-dead safety nets.
C) Void is generally very strong already. Categorical no to giving it any buffs.

its not even close to that, nice try tho.
i don’t want to balance the game around havoc, i’m asking for one buff to one weapon, and all of you ppl are crying that i’m going to ruin the game. calm down.
guarantee you bubble saves runs multiple times in a single match.
void is outclassed by trauma and purg by a long shot, which is why no one uses it.
Once again your statements only apply to havoc. Bubble is defence overkill outside of Havoc for anyone mildly competent. Void build can still easily top damage in Auric Damn, and you don’t need trauma level CC there (though obviously it’s still nice, but so is Void’s vastly better effective range).
So once again we circle back to you attempting to balance around Havoc. Which again, is an awful awful idea.

ouch… +15% to one of the strongest weapon of the game? That’s a no for me…
And Havoc is not the reference to balance weapons.
Don’t know if they need a nerf. I feel that it is more the psyker with warp damages trhat need a nerf and not really the staves.
But about the primary attack… I follow you on this.
Voidstrike is OP as is, don’t balance around Havoc. Extremely powerful staff on Aurics and does not need any help.

It is mostly Psyker Talent Tree. Finesse and Crit modifiers for Surge and Voidstrike through the right side of the Talent Tree are where much of the staff power comes from. Warp Rider is just a buff for spamming staves, with Warp Unbound it gets pretty nutty.
Venting Shriek is also crazy, mostly because stacks applied by Shriek can exceed the max cap for Soulblaze and Soulblaze is able to be buffed by active weapon Blessings like Uncanny or Blaze Away.
Blazebolt for M1 on Staves is actually good. Trauma and Surge it helps with Gunners, Shooters and Snipers significantly that are too far for secondary to reach. Voidstrike yeah it could be changed to something different.

alright since i’ve aggro’d the forums on this one, how about this. nerf trauma and purg. 
Purg needs a nerf, but why Trauma?
Trauma is basically already locked out from Disrupt Destiny and Scrier’s because secondary can’t hit weakspots, so unless a Psyker is spammimg M1 there’s no benefit. If they do spam M1 enough to make use of DD then they’re not using the powerful secondary fire stagger enough. Also secondary fire can barely crit hit with Nexus equipped.
