Flamer vs Purgatus staff, is it fair?

[T-Rex]

The flamer has 7 extra meters range on the staff.
The flamer has a higher dot cap than the staff (quite considerably) so does more damage.

The staff you can swap to straight away. Flamer takes time to flick a switch.
The staff has endless ammo.

Personally I think the staff needs a bit of a buff. At the very least it should be the same range.

psyker needs a plethora of buffs but the thing about the staffs is they do not have to use ammo and with psyker passive killing a horde always lowers your peril by alot

[Am I Not Charlie?]

Flamer is better because zealot is much tankier than psyker.

[Starbarian]

Flamer needs a nerf range.

I use revolver, sabre and husar dress. Staff for noobs!

[Frostbeast]

Its fine. Zealot has to pay for it with no range attacks against targets far away.
Psyker can deal with that.
The ammo problem is there as well. I always grin, when i see a Zealot stop shooting because he is out of ammo or does not want to waste it.

[Bastila Shan]

Flamer is better since you get a longer burn out of a clip of ammo than psyker and you can reload quicker than having to mess around with peril

[Credne]

Flame staff has infinite ammo and doesn't have a long ass switch animation.

[EastCLiff]

Purgatus staff need a buff? NO
This opinion is very ridiculous because it is one of very few well balanced weapon.

I bet you are just playing as a mage psyker, standing behind all days and spamming magics. That's not really good way to use psyker.

If you wanted to buff the purge, you'd be better off asking for RMB to be a simple hold to fire, rather than the current charge then LMB to use.
Or lmb to work like the other staffs and fire the ranged orb.

Those would buff the Purge's utility rather than just giving the flames a bit of extra range.

Its fine. Psyker have a 10% chance on kill to lose 10% Peryl. When you burh dozens of enemies it can procc often.
