Does Terrifying Barrage actually work in meaningful way, like can i blast nearby targets and have enemies sneaking on my back be suppressed by it?
Because then it might be better for survivability than weak 5% to 16% reload buff?

Yes, it works as advertised. It's just less effective than most may think. I recommend giving it a test for yourself.
You'll find it doesn't save you vs some of the more threatening targets, like maulers, ragers, crushers, etc.

having high everything and low warp resist is actually amazing if your a high warp using build
cold ivy
low warp resist on a sword is actually pretty good if you run venting shriek + soulblaze, because you want to shriek at 85+% for 6 stacks
and the fastest way to get there is spamming the force sword special -> the lower your force sword's warp resist the fewer times you gotta do it

Damage
Crit bonus
then what?
All stats on Surge are somewhat important
Damage is the most important one, certainly

Then it’s whatever, as long as it’s not super low
terse sonnet
This was so close
What about this, which one is better
Or should i keep buying for a better one
vestal fulcrum
Trying to figure what im looking for
Warp Resist and Quell Speed are largely up to preference. If they’re high, you will have good uptime on the staff in between casts/quelling
terse sonnet
Hmmm
terse sonnet
the diff in crit bonus isn't that big?
vestal fulcrum
I don’t know, check what the number summaries say
I’d say the front loaded Crit chance is good enough
And the critical damage bonus is mostly redundant
terse sonnet
1% diff
rare arrow
What's the priority stats on this staff for a smite build
Crit bonus is actually the worst stat iirc
Crit bonus is crit damage, because of how crit damage is calculated it’s actually really bad

As a vet main who just has the reflexs to emotionlessly shoot things in the head...
Ehh sometimes I might care, it depends on how well you do with it

It’s just a leftover from other weapons that might have used this modifier initially

Doesn’t that staff have a honk?

It does. It probably can also benefit from that.

Honestly, go with what you want imo, long as you can stay relatively alive
rare arrow
I don’t believe the crit chance does apply to the Secondary action.
latent hill
Which crit chance Lucian?
rare arrow
On crit bonus for the surge staff
latent hill
Oh, the yellow damage thing?
vestal fulcrum
I don’t believe the crit chance does apply to the Secondary action.
Well, then don’t, but from what a trusted source relayed to me, it does. If it does work for revolver, I don’t see why would it not work on Surge.
rare arrow
Reset your talent tree, walk into the psyk with a Grey surge staff and test it. I found multiple people with data testing it and the crit chance from crit bonus didn’t apply to crit bonus for any of them
latent hill
Say… does anyone have a good surge staff build?
rare arrow
I’ll test again when I’m home too
rocky raven
nexus & flurry
rare arrow
Say… does anyone have a good surge staff build?
Warp flurry, warp nexus, crit damage and flak
Unfortunately the surge staff doesn’t have 1 shot breakpoints without crits, so damage perks aren’t as relevant as other weapons
latent hill
Flak? Why that specifically?
rocky raven
Unfortunately the surge staff doesn’t have 1 shot breakpoints without crits, so ...
it can with 78-80 in the dmg stats + flak + elites / add either 5%dmg node or elite aura as req
rare arrow
There are some specials it hits 2 shot kills on with flak
latent hill
Ok… what about skill tree?
rocky raven
yea very roll dependent
rare arrow
Skill tree is whatever you want
latent hill
Oh.
rare arrow
When you build a psyker you’re not doing so around 1 weapon
latent hill
Well, rn I have the venting thing and warp charges
rare arrow
You’re building a Swiss Army knife
rocky raven
must take top2 crit nodes / crit% node / recommend elite aura and5% dmg node
rare arrow
So surge handles 3 enemies very well. A#id pair it with a weapon or blitz that can handle groups of enemies
rocky raven
warp batt can help bypass the breakpoint consistently if you have a clean dmg roll
rare arrow
So I like smite or assail with surge staff
And sure, Deimos gives you some single target I think that’s a start to a kit
Now do you want bubble or venting. Both are good
latent hill
I’m using venting for this one
rare arrow
Seems fine, it’s more horde clear and anything that stays standing from venting gets turned off by surge
Assail I always run the middle keystone, EP
latent hill
The dome or the wall?
latent hill
I’d have to find good hallways for that…
rare arrow
I thought you said you were using venting?
latent hill
I am.
rare arrow
As for additional talents I’d grab, as aegis mentioned the two crit talents at the top, and the bottom right “blocking gives peril”
rocky raven
^kinetic always.
rare arrow
Since you’re assail you can also grab the crit aura
rare arrow
^kinetic always.
For a talent I ALWAYS grab, I never know it’s name lol
Kinetic deflection?
latent hill
Presence
rare arrow
Whatever it is, that talent is insane lol
rocky raven
elite > crit in this case; nexus will do the rest
rare arrow
Oh, they’re going venting anyways. They can’t get crit
latent hill
Nexus?
rare arrow
Has to be CDR or damage
rare arrow
Good, that’s up to 20% crit chance
Warp flurry is for spamming which is also good since surge will almost always be doing multiple casts
rare arrow
Flurry is less important I think 3 is 7.5% and 4 is 8.5%, but it’s super nice to have at max anyways
But that’s at least a good baseline for a build. From there you can tweak anything you’d like
latent hill
Will say the quell speed is speedy as heck
latent hill
It’s like at least a second to quell from 100 to 0
plucky flax
Kinetic deflection?
Yes. One of the best talent.

Surge, smite, assail.

Besides that you should use what Emperor gives you to see how you like em. Ended up now at 30 going Maccabian Mk IV Duelling Sword and Voidstrike Staff for now
near wyvern
Guys, which staff / weapon is most easy to use for newbie?
Purgatus staff is the most straight forward. RMB for damage, LMB for control, works against anything else than Mutants (the charging one) and Crushers (big big armoured guy) and for those you use a Duelling Sword or Deimos Force sword or Brain Rupture / Brain Burst
It is also the least roll dependant of them all

rare arrow
i think it's dead. thoughts?
Still seems fine to me
I’d drop maniacs for carapace to 2 special crushers and the. Drop shred for blood letter
Yea, seems absolutely fine
Actually, you probably don’t even need carapace, but it doesn’t hurt
So even without carapace it 2 shots crushers with 1 stack of rampage.
It one shots muties without rampage and without maniac perk.
I’d actually change maniac to unyielding and shred to bloodletter
halcyon agate
Does warp resistance of staff also affects assail?
digital narwhal
No
You ideally don't want Peril Generation reductions with Assail anyway, since you need that 10% per shard for maintaining Warp Rider (and One with the Warp if you go that route)

Emmm, I see

Warp resist on weapons only effects what you do while wielding the weapons, when they are stowed, the modifiers are deactivated

YOu'll want to block with Ragers, and dodge backwards and shoot them to death. You can stunlock them with a Maccabian Rapier Mk IV (?) with the special attack and heavy stab, but I'd recommend just staying away from them until you feel more confident.

Always feels like for Gun Psyker you'd want to go Smite instead of Assail, for the value it provides against armored targets (since none of the psyker guns are going to be good against those targets)
hearty dagger
I mean, if you want to damage carapace you don't go smite you go BR
Smite damage on a crusher is about as effective as pissing against a hurricane.
lilac sigil
That's why I said "value", not damage.
queen fog
A crusher looking stupid is pretty valuable 
hearty dagger
Yeah, but you still don't have any way to deal with them beyond the good old bonking strat.
lilac sigil
It shuts down the Crusher pack, since you know you won't individually be contributing -- except now you ARE contributing because you stunlocked them all (and you're likely to have full Peril to dump on it too, because you're Gun Pysker) -- with the obvious implication being that your teammates end up doing a lot of the damage to them
hearty dagger
True.
Though teammates seeing smited crushers has the same effect as if you just smited them yourself.
Half the time they just freeze in place.
And by time they get to damaging you need to quell.
lilac sigil
Well the alternative is you're assail and you're definitely not better off with the same slow-witted teammate, right?
shy prairie
so generous mr emperor

I prefer the alternative of fuck it we ball
Aka knock them on their ass with force sword's push attack (only knocks down one though) and go wacko with uncanny.

Do i value teammates while running smite? Hell no.
There's a reason why my blood pressure is always high.

i took warp expenditure mainly because this build only uses surge staff and shriek

If you’re quelling you likely don’t need to be healing toughness as wel
dapper shadow
one is in combat and one is usually while backing off 🤔
rare arrow
Since you’re safe enough to quell
dapper shadow
right
rare arrow
WE allows you to heal while counter attacking
shadow wigeon
one is in combat and one is usually while backing off 🤔
You quell when you shriek, as well as passively if you're using melee.
prime elk
either could work tbf
rare arrow
So they’re just different in how you want to play them
prime elk
yeah quietude works well with shriek
rare arrow
They’re both very pickable talents
lilac sigil
Presumably you get Quietude toughness from Transfer Peril (quell on weakspot on staff) too, right?
plucky flax
I have quietude and mettle to generate toughness.

Don't forget to use L1 (bolt attack) on your Surge staff as well, it's very strong.

the idea for putting unyielding on the catachan dagger is to hit the bleed stacks on bosses, yea?
cold ivy
i think, but am not 100% sure, that it's just for the damage because the dagger does a looot of damage on hit without bleed
iirc most of the "meta builds" for the dagger don't run bleed blessings because by the time bleed would stack up to appreciable levels, the thing you're stabbing should have already died

I'm not as good as you lucian.

I think oven doesn't calculate trauma properly.
How does it compare to the other staves? Oven seem to be close
lunar quail
ye true aim can proc multiple times per attack
so is that a guarantee on the next attack i fire being a crit or does the same projectile just crit when it hits the 6th dude
spice veldt
crits are rolled when you attack, so the same projectile will stay the same, and your next attack is guaranteed to crit if you got 5 stacks from the previous attack
lunar quail
ok. thank you
plucky flax
This scoreboard here is super screwed with trauma. 1.3k enemies killed and I had 500k damage with oven.

Roll a void strike into a crowd of heads and just chain crit

Wait wrong one.
rare arrow
Take surge and throw two bowling balls at a time
summer prairie
I went through my history and didn't have anything like that, I think it's more likely some kind of server issue than the scoreboard only sometimes being wrong
plucky flax
This one is weird scoreboard. Really low damage imo for the kills for me.
rare arrow
I need to test surge on voidstrike again.
summer prairie
or logging issue
plucky flax
I've never gotten that low damage with over 1.2k kills.
The vet with 461 kills has 100k damage less than me.
summer prairie
default scoreboard damage is low too anyway
and we know that definitely calculates things wrong
plucky flax
You reckon? It seems true to me.
summer prairie
well it can't be true
plucky flax
Oven is sorta low across the board.
plucky flax
But I notice with trauma in particular oven is quite wonky.

Yea Oven seems scuffed lol
plucky flax
Maybe my blaze trauma playstyle is weird.
summer prairie
I did some testing in the grinder and oven was always accurate there, default wasn't
things are a bit different on a server but
if it's not having issue it shouldn't matter

the default is always wrong with a weapon that tends to overkill one-shot everything

i do think i'd be interested in knowing the percentage of time I spend dodging/sliding/sprinting throughout a match
sly comet
I need help.
I've never been able to gain more than 3 warp charges, and not a single tutorial I find explains how to gain them.
I know I simply need to not use brain burst to save those warp charges, but otherwise, I don't know how to get them.
It just seems to happen randomly during gameplay.
spice veldt
warp charges are from the Warp Siphon keystone (leftmost keystone)
You get them from elite/special kills by default
You can use your blitz (brain burst) without losing warp charges. It's your ult (shriek/shield/gaze) that consumes warp charges
cold ivy
if brain burst consumes your "charges" then those are probably enhanced psionics (center keystone) instead of warp siphon (left keystone)
spice veldt
damn i didn't make that connection
sly comet
are you running enhanced psionics instead?
I am, yes.
summer prairie
also you should give up on it for a while and just play more
cold ivy
cold ivy
So basically, kill elites and specialists at least once every 25s so your warp charges don't decay, and don't use your combat ability ever (because it'll consume the charges)
or use psychic vampire/the other soulblaze one so you can also generate charges from trash kills
sly comet
Thank you. I'll rearrange my talent treee.
summer prairie
It's going to be easier to achieve when you can play harder content
sly comet
Heresy with hightened elite spawns, yes?
summer prairie
at least auric yes
cold ivy
auric damnation is prolly your safest bet, hi intensity shock troop spawns a bajillion specials/elites
but pretty sure it's doable on heresy as long as it has spawn modifiers for specials
sly comet
I'm not quite at that level yet. I've gotten through one Auric Damnation mission, and that was with Ogryn. I'm still learning Psyker.
But thank y'all for the help. I'll practice.
If I take the talent that stacks 6 Warp Charges, will I have to maintain 6, or only 4?
sly comet
also you should give up on it for a while and just play more
I can't give up on it. I need it so I can get the red hood with the green border. It looks awesome.
It will be mine.

Correct
lethal lagoon
Are you sure your peril increased?
I mean like the jump of peril from using BB
Not the charging
lethal lagoon
No it didn't.
It would set off your BB early, give you a burst of peril, and give you the proc
fluid aspen
And it doesn't do that anymore either
lethal lagoon
I remember because the mechanic would fuck up the 100% peril glitch
fluid aspen
What's your point here?
lethal lagoon
You just said that though?
Which is just untrue? So I'm just confused
Of course maybe you are right, and I'm a dummy, so I'm just asking.
Hoping someone smarter jumps in 🤷♂️
fluid aspen
You got a warp charge if the target you were charging was killed. Before the rework. There is no interaction with the charged target dying after the rework. You just gained peril and someone else got the kill
lethal lagoon
So you still gain peril, but you won't get an EP charge or something if it's an elite? That does blow.
My poor BB.... what have they done to him...
shadow wigeon
AFAIK You don't lose the EP charge unless your BB goes off, so EP smoothes that problem over a bit.
But without EP, BB is back the the old days. I want to sayt he blue halo isn't as bright a it used to be at least? Just make sure you dont tag your target....

There's something going on, I had it happen a few times. YOu get the temporary buff, but no stack is gained.
It almost felt like it was happening in batches, so i wracked it up to server side issue / bug.
But other folks have suggested it refreshes your CD, as a leniency mechanic.
spice veldt
my prior knowledge says that interaction should refresh stacks and the leniency kill credit should give stacks, but that knowledge is all very vague now
