As i’m writing this, i’ve been queuing for more than half an hour trying to get in a single game without a Surge Staff abuser, to no avail
It was previsible just like with Smite, but this time it needs to be fixed now, not in three weeks

I’m not across this one. What’s the issue with it?
Surge staff is getting the bonuses of empowered psyionics. Presumably the +125% damage smite gets. Not sure about the nitty gritty details but that’s the gist of it.

Except of course, since using the staff does not really count as using your blitz, the staff attack does not consume any of the EP stacks, although it is empowered by EP.
So as a surge user, you deal some pretty nice damage, with the EP bonus staying active unless you actually use your blitz to consume the stacks…

They have PTSD from all the “every player favouring bug gets patched instantly, no fun allowed” people who whinge every time some difficulty breaking exploit gets patched.
Seriously though this game would benefit so much from small, much more frequent hotfixes.

It took them a week to fix the surge staff effects (a combination of screen shake, blurring, mirror images and high contrast strobing lights) actually causing physical reactions to players, so I don’t expect it to come any sooner.
Can we please please please please get rid of the newly added purole mist on the surge staff. U know the purple mist that you would see from smite? Yeah its on the surge staff now. Honestly you coulf nerf it into the ground and id still use it. But after taking a small break from darktide im honestly shocked and upset about this purple stuff on the surge stuff. I hope it’s a bug.
I feel like psyker could use a rework at this point, they literally have no reason to pull out their melee weapon other than to reposition, they get so much value from building/quelling peril and the only “skill” they need is not blowing up and surge is just one of the fire-and-forget basically-auto-aim tools they have to not actually interact with the game.
they made voidstaff completely useless so everyone gotta use whats left…
Voidstrike got a light slap on the wrist what the hell are you on about?

My lord yes.
I’ve been on a build-testing binge lately, and there’s been some talents that various people tout as essential cornerstones of the build - except that the talent is actually broken and does nothing.
For example, Zealot’s Duelist ability is supposed to provide increased weakspot damage after dodging. However no buff icon appears on dodging and testing in the chamber doesn’t cause an increase in headshot damage.
C-E-R-T-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N. Doesn’t affect patch turnaround my rectum.
