No, it only applies to the ranged weapon and only when you actively have the range weapon equipped. It was a bug awhile back and they fixed it because the crit rate was applying to everything

Remove bug and buff surge damage by like 50%, seems fitting.

What I really want is for them to tone down the VFX on the FS block. That shits going to give someone a seizure someday.
olive ember
Hence taking both smite nodes buffs surge staff target cap to 3 and 10% more damage once hit
taking empowered psionics lets surge staff deal +125% damage
Surge without bug is kinda… mid
lethal lagoon
Overpowering souls also seems bugged. I don't get empowered charges from elite kills.
I wonder if that's related to surge getting affected by the talent

I don't

So you just want it for crushers etc. Void is better for me because more theoretical damage no ammo but revolver is faster.
olive ember
You want to use assail for everything besides crushers
Just throw the shit out of it basically
lethal lagoon
Uh lemme try it out again when I get home
It worked in the pysch, I'll watch in the game agan, I swear it wasn't working. Maybe the talent tree was wonky, I've been having issues with it today.
dense bramble
I hate new assail. They made it feel slow and shitty but do basically just as much damage
olive ember
What?
dense bramble
I wish theyd just give you 5 shots with old performance
lethal lagoon
Yeah, it's exactly the same, I don't understand.
olive ember
Are you rmb spamming?
dense bramble
No

They didn’t change rate of fire

I’ll try it out when I get back home but if they did nerf RoF then it’s a hidden change and fucking stupid

@spice veldt you run assail a lot ye? Does it feel different

you only really feel the difference on ragers and gunners
but the secondary is much stronger now
spice veldt
<@297182781346152448> you run assail a lot ye? Does it feel different
haven't been playing yet 😔
if anyone want to compare, it was ~0.2s to shoot the first shard after pressing LMB and then ~0.33s for the 2nd shard
nimble adder
olive ember
Smite is undertuned but using it with empowered psionics buffs surge staff for like double damage
General consensus is that Assail feels the exact same except it’s rmb is stronger now but someone felt the RoF is slower and I haven’t tested it yet
pale pilot
eh, assail now sometimes needs to twoshot a trashmob or melee mob now
largely the same but i've had more than a few situations where it didn't do quite enough compared to previous
spice veldt
i'll have to be more mindful of my malefic momentum stacks 😔

I suppose for backstab builds
Yeah it's extremely good for that. One shot crushers, massive boss damage
Mercy kill is excellent for bosses
olive ember
Ik the reasoning is that max uncanny strike also gives 120% but the buff falls off before you can get behind the enemy or wte
echo turtle
For psyker you want uncanny to deal with fighting ragers, maulers and crushers since you can't rely on getting behind them

Alright so you want perilous combustion because 3 burn stacks per elite/special kill is rly strong especially with something like surge… 6 fire stacks will kill all horde enemies, even more will just melt everything short of crushers
Get rid of mind in motion ngl that’s 2 points elsewhere
Replace 5% damage aura for CDR. The 5% damage is kinda not that good anymore
Personally I’d take AB for shriek for more fire and horde clear

In fire reborn only cares if the enemy dies while on fire.

not enough points to go into Warp Siphon, and I don't feel like spamming assail with EP

which force sword is the one that DOESN'T get stuck in a single target on powrred attack, but just goes through multiple enemies, kinda like the power sword on vet. I could swear one works that way ive used before, but now i cant figure out which one for the life of me
olive ember
It’s disgusting 🤮
spice veldt
yeah let me go take banger options like +50% dodge duration (doesn't work properly) or mind in motion (press spacebar)

I run blazing spirit trauma yeah, but that's because I don't care about my ranged weapon at all
I just run blitz + melee all the time, like I did pre-patch 13
i am just completely uninterested in the staff options that we have
they're all just mechanically dogshit to me
unique mist
it doesnt
acoustic osprey
i can see that
spice veldt
you're confusing it with another force sword then
acoustic osprey
still i think blazing spirit trauma is fun
unique mist
obscurus and deimos share the same single target warp attack

Illisi will still get stopped by carapace or enough mass.
olive ember
i think he was the one i saw fire trauma build
That’s what I run
Idk wtf Arco is running ngl
unique mist
man i tried blaze trauma staff last week and hated how it played
olive ember
It probably works cuz it’s Arco but
spice veldt
cuz i'm basically running assail + melee build
unique mist
stop trying to gaslight me into running it again

I think my skill tree is fairly rational if you just ignore your ranged weapon

Actually no you use disrupt destiny like you fucking chase down the stacks?
spice veldt
no, because they don't glow lamayo
I can't chase them because marked targets just don't glow
olive ember
Arco is just weird
unique mist

spice veldt
i would neverrrr
