This looks to have been patched with this morning's update. Fixed issue where the Nomanus Mk VI Surge Force Staff received the ‘Smite’ Bonuses from ‘Empowered Psionics’.
I like to run this build with the push ability, cause it gives you the ability to disperse 50% peril when you overload by mistake, which happens to me a bit too much on psyker 😅
On a side note should also be mentioned that both of smites abilities effect your surge staff chain lightning gives you an extra target and enfeeble lets friendlys do more damage but thats really not that usefull considering the opportunity window and your gonna be one shooting most stuff
If I may ask, what is the point of taking those last 2 keystone talent points? The one that guarantees a stack on elite kill and the one giving you a max of 3 stacks? We will never spend those stacks anyway, right? Also what about the other keystone talent? Replenish 15% toughness to your team when using blitz while empowered, would that work with surge staff?
Thats a great point, it was my understanding that having 3 stacks produced more damage. I will take a look and update the games lantern guide with my findings
5:46 What is this new YT UI sorcery?! The like/dislike GLEAMS at 5:45! Had to rewind just to make sure the voices weren't trying to fool me into doing things my beloved doesn't want again.
Hopefully they don't remove it, I see it as a fair trade off vs how smite works. The staff hits fewer people but does more damage to each while smite hits many but does far less damage.
There are a few people screaming bloody murder on the FS forums because they think that Pskyers are doing "30k" more damage in Auric Maelstrom games or running ahead and killing everything. The sad part is that I think they believe that this bug is causing Pskyers to solo the hardest content and not die.. But they are forum Chads and need to be the loudest so they can feel important.
Great info and build! I don't get the whole socks with sandals thing either. It's like, you have time and energy to put on socks, but then are too lazy to put on shoes? Pick one bro. I also have an aversion to people who wear jeans and sandals. Same concept. You could do without the modifier for rupture, would another node be more useful?
Definitely strong strong because of the bug. The builds on Lantern sometimes mention a description to give the gist of the Play style. But no one really stating the bug that's applied to this build. I feel bad for using it only because some night think I'm doing it on purpose. I just used the build to power level my psyker and haven't stopped 😂
Check out the Games Lantern build guide here: darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a9876db-6cdc-4eab-891f-f3915669e0ba/briggsos-literally-broken-psyker-build?
Nice video - little tip for you if you want to engage poeple more... A Games lantern build link is mandatory :) Liked the way you presented the build with the descriptors in the left column.
I can see why you pick Brain Rupture but im my exprience just having smite available is worth way more than extra single target damage. you are not going to just murder 10+ crushers and maulers running at you and you kinda don't want to melee a whole horde with mixed elites/specialists (i'm talking strictly Auric here) Still looks like a nice build. Btw what is that mod you got which tells you when grims and scriptures are nearby?
Also the smite modifier talents work for surge too. 1 more jump for surge is negligible damage but very nice for CC, not 100% sure if the 10% damage buff applies too but what little we know about the bug I see no reason why it shouldn’t.
I don't understand brain rupture on any build. 1k damage for that charge time on a single enemy? The hell? A revolver headshot does about 700, penetrates, and has five shots. I guess ammo would be the issue on Auric missions yet still. I always feel like I am missing something to things like Brain Burst. It is like using a shotgun over a revolver on the Zealot. No matter what I try the Revolver does more damage, can snipe, and is faster in drawing and dodging. Just a few less bullets, but you need less bullets to kill so it works out. I guess staggering groups of things the shotguns are good at or piercing shields with special rounds. Anyway taking smite for the +1 chain makes the surge staff even more OP. Or assail for hordes since the surge staff works on single targets well enough.
@@dianapennepacker6854 BR can 2-3 (1 shot if the passive thing procs aswell so basicly 2 BR in 1 cast) Crushers. It's not good enough I agree. it's good for sniping high prio targets and more safe than revolver since you only need LOS to start casting. Is it as good as Assail or Smite? no. is it so bad it's useless? no. has some neach moments but that's about it. Still fun and satisfying (sounds hehe) when you 1 tab something with the proc.
Waste of 2 points grabbing Overpowering Souls and Charged Up, can just use chance to proc Empowered Psionics and be done with it, once it's on, it's on and the other skills after so pretty much nothing
I don't know how much of a difference it makes, but you're not using all of the bugs. Both of the Smite passives also work on the surge staff, so you can attack three enemies instead of two.
@@cyan8237What is a +10 damage? it has two nods, +1 extra enemy that smite can jump to and faster lightning spread. The +1 enemy works on surge staff as surge is only +2 enemies by default, with this it becomes +3 enemies.
THE BUG IN THIS BUILD HAS NOW BEEN PATCHED... PLEASE STAND BY WHILE I COOK UP SOMETHING NEW Well... Just stop playing - all working! More dmg with buff.
@@BriggsoYT Wdym offence 😂I'm not made of sugar. A german stereotype for germans is the fact, that we always wear shorts, a T-shirt and sandals with socks. I thought it was a global stereotype for german tourists taking their holidays, but I guys it's more of an inside joke than I thought.
I believe what happened here is that when the patched rolled out with Empowered Psionics doing 125% more damage with SMITE. IT also affected the attacks from the Surge staff since both are electric attacks. If you use the surge staff without smite it just acted normaly.
Psykers are powerful enough but the Emp Psionics/Surge bug needs to be addressed. At the same time, perhaps reduce the power of the Kickback and maybe even cleave on the Plasma Gun. They're fun to use but my lord, they are so broken......as you say.
When I get matched with a Psyker with a surge staff and smite, I leave, assuming they're exploiting this bug. In my experience when I do play a match with one of them, it trivializes the match. I look forward to when this bug gets fixed, and while they're at it, nerf Assail too
Playing with psykers abusing this bug is an absolute CHORE. THANKS for spreading the word and contributiong in creating an entire wave of entitled players thinking they go on T5 at level 27 to one shot everything without learning the basics of the game first. If you're considering running this : PLEASE DON'T. You'll ruin your mates' fun and your own by making tha game too easy. Fatshark needs to fix this urgently, the consequence for new and learning players are honestly catastrophic for the community.

Wait. THATS A BUG? I've been running this non-stop because I thought that was intentional. Lighting from your hands is...lightning from you hands.
I discovered this FEATURE, not bug, last night. And it’s BOMB. LIGHTNING IS LIGHTNING. FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS LIBERALS
Just wanted to say great video - I appreciate how you organized and broke down the skill tree during your explanation of the build
Glad it was helpful!
This looks to have been patched with this morning's update.
Fixed issue where the Nomanus Mk VI Surge Force Staff received the ‘Smite’ Bonuses from ‘Empowered Psionics’.
Even without the bug, the build looks extremely fun, well done video!
Thanks! Stay tuned for more!

I was doing that then switched to this build...I was so used to overloading then using my push that i now blow up all the time lol.
shockingly good build. may the algorithm bless you brother
The algorithm has blessed me kindly so far. I can't believe the amount of views this videos has already. Extremely grateful! More to come soon too!
On a side note should also be mentioned that both of smites abilities effect your surge staff chain lightning gives you an extra target and enfeeble lets friendlys do more damage but thats really not that usefull considering the opportunity window and your gonna be one shooting most stuff
Is it confirmed Enfeeble works? Some say it doesn't while the extra chain skill does work
@@prich0382 funny enough, enfeeble doesn't even work on regular charged smite, so yeah, it doesn't work on the staff either.
can i just say that i like your content not just because of the quality, but because you don't speak so slowly that i need to put you on double speed

I'm surprised that FS hasn't patched it to ONLY work if you get an Elite kill with your Blitz attack, or put some timer on it like the left side.
And now this bug is fixed. Thank god.
This is really good content, Nice Job!
Glad you liked it. More on the way!
With what bolters and plasma guns can do, this “bug” should be a feature
Agreed

The bug was fixed in todays patch
If you're taking full advantage of the bugs, consider taking smite so you can get the +1 chains modifier.
The + 1 extra chain provides roughly 20-30 damage and no stun
Just tried this (only diff is I took the 12.5 % for orb) and it works just like you said. Pretty damn effective

Does lightning storm on smite cause your surge staff to hit an additional target? If so that might be the way to go.
Yes it does you go from 2 targets to 3

What difficulty did you test this in?
Damnation! That's where I do all my testing
now i can't two shot crusher on auric damnation=(
It is broken because its a glitch. Empowered psionic is buffing surge staff's damage unintendedly
build is good but you needn`t 3 stack it`s doesnt scale dmg =)

This was patched today! Will not work anymore.

no longer viable in Maelstorm runs :(
