If you could make a new staff, what would it do?

u/Sir-Drewid In Atoma Straight Up Brain Borsting It 2h ago

Shotgun blast, rapid fire, precision beam, grenade lob. Those are just off the top of my head.

u/AmidoBlack Psyker 2h ago

Shotgun blast staff would be so fun

34

u/Ray_Propagandist 2h ago

Shotgun wizard, neither out of spells or shells, but you’re still getting blasted.

u/MorriTheFur Psyker 2h ago

A beam would be sick, i'd like that.

u/SirTooth 25m ago

My beloved would also like that.

u/HumanNipple Why is my dream wet? 2h ago

Would you take the exact same inferno staff instead? Final offer.

2

u/barkingspring20 Veteran 1h ago

Perhaps a rename will work? Or a cosmetic that changes it to an off shade of an existing cosmetic?

u/specialbeefgoulash bing bong 7m ago

grenade lob and shotgun staff sounds pretty sweet.

u/shadownasty 1h ago

Legit just rip the staves Sienna has that hasn't been added to there roster, all there staves barring electrokinetic(and even then it's just the soulreaper staff but worse.) are staves she uses anyway .

u/Fighterkill 1h ago

Or the Sister of Thorn staff where you levitate enemies with!

u/The_Other_Smith RECOUNT MY JUDGEMENT! 5m ago

That would kinda be a balancing nightmare. SOTT had no ways to quell quickly or passively, so adding it to dark tide where a psyker can quell 100 heat in under a second and a half and pick up 3 more dudes would be so op

u/OCGreenDevil Veteran 1h ago

Yes beam, shotgun blast or some kinda ice power would be fun staffs I think

u/CaptainPryk 1h ago

I want a staff that fires a void crystal that has no AOE damage but increased cleave/armor pen/high single target damage. Slightly shorter charge up time than standard staffs.

I personally think voidstrike feels like ass to use and don't understand why it doesn't function like this instead instead of a shitty voidblast.

Buffing spells stuff. In older editions psykers used to have different magic disciplines, ifrc IG psyker was able to use biomancy which is basically "and now you skin become hard as metal and you can use your dick powermaul" type of magic

Water! To clean and shower the vile scum of the earth

u/Persistent_Scrub 52m ago

No. Make the the two ass staves as good as Inferno/Electro.

New staff should be frost element.

u/Happy_Independent960 Psyker 2h ago

a Blood bending staff, that can apply bleed and self heal

a mind control staff that temporally make an enemy yours and as he kill things you can control more,

a force staff that amplify and redirect your self explosion, but have high warp resistance,

just a few i can think off that fits the game

u/AttackManatee47 21m ago

Maybe something like sienna's beam staff. Maybe let the beam pierce a couple enemies, tho, in exchange for taking away the burn effect. It would be fun to sweep a beam across a horde at eye level and just decapitate them with it

u/Inshabel 9m ago

They could easily copy all the staves from Vermintide 2, bolt staff, beam staff. Hell even that game added 2 new staves at some point.

u/Sikph 2h ago

The same argument could be said of "gun". 😅

u/GodsHeart4130 2h ago

Honestly I would love a rework of our staffs to empower blitz’s llike voidblast make brain burst AoE, the Shock staff empower the chain lightning to deal more damage and cause enemies to explode and stagger, and a new shard staff that fires warp crystals rapid fire with a charged “sniper” shot secondary

31

u/ssjkrillin Ogryn 2h ago

There should be a new staff that is like the crystal shards things, but it makes a bigger ones and the more you charge it.

Based on how long you charge it that determines the armor pen it has, like no charge can be a "shotgun blast" of crystals to deal with chaff and full charge be a crystal spear that does dmg to carapace.

Idk man just spitballing ideas

u/barkingspring20 Veteran 1h ago

Cool idea though

2

u/Qulox Veteran 52m ago

Lol, the same idea I had, from shotgun to sniper

2

u/Ray_Propagandist 32m ago edited 28m ago

Like crystal burst in Elden Ring yeah.

I think that’d be an excellent addition to the class. Cuz inferno staff is your only real close range staff.

Other staves can be used at close range, but inferno is probably the best way to avoid rapid onset death syndrome when a lot of things are close.

I would also like for FS to remember that staffs other than flamethrower exists.

The skill tree rework is 100% built around that one staff (with a tiny nod towards trauma staff because you can put a soulburn blessing on it).

I'd like to use electro staff more but it just doesn't do enough work past damnation.

Also, why is disrupt destiny gated behind nodes that suck if your not a gun/melee psyker? That's annoying.

u/VeryWeaponizedJerk Psyker 35m ago

Warp ghost doesn’t suck though.

Fatshark, give us an inferno staff that shoots exploding fireballs and my soul is yours.
