Bio lightning is garbage

[丂卩ㄖㄖ几ㄚ 丂卂ㄩㄥ]

Hardly does any damage. Needs buff.

[Haggis]

Saw it solo hordes earlier so I do not think its weak.

[Abyssal Crow]

It doesn't need damage, if you want damage choose Assail or Brain. It's main use is CC and excess stun which it has in spades over the other 2 and that's not even counting the infinite casting bug going on with smite right now.

It's so OP atm. Creates 0 peril on a lot of occasions. And once you hit it with the 0 peril, you can run the whole mission while it's active.

Also even when the bug is fixed, its main purpose is still CC. So now you can basically run "surge staff" and Voidstrike staff at the same time and basically solo games.

You can keep it active without targets.

Those "occasions" are the empowered keystone. Empowered smite for whatever reason is reducing the peril cost to nothing, letting you palpatine lightning whenever you have a empowered stack to spend.

it not strong it a ulitlity it allows you to lock down hordes but you are useless angist Monosters and heavy armoured like ogyrns and crushers. it ment to allow your teams to kill them your job is just to make them easier to handle. on the other hand you really can't move, you can't defend your self and your attack range is only within 45* of your view on the intial spread so you need someone to defend you which on high level is actually quite diffuclt espically when you are running 4 shock troop and high intensity. and 5. it becomes a requirement to surive as a psyker as enemies are more resistant to the Assail and brain burst only works on elitles.

I also thought biolightning was bad and a waste of time at first.

Changed my mind after I saw 5 crushers and 2 mutants throwing a dance party to the jazz hands.

[Kanjejou]

bio lighning could get a little buff vs trash units... right now its purely like lighning staff with less damages and weak vs anything (lighning staff deal bonus damages to flak and carapace)

The free peril bug is nice on paper but doesnt even make it that good at difficulty 4 and 5 because it just doesnt stun enough ennemies/kill the weak one fast enough to stay relevant in hordes...Assail clean better vs hordes has range and can still slap flak units.
brain burst can slap all but is monotarget

the main problem with lightning is that, you loose long range takedowns on snipers but ya know what else is in the psykers tree?
big F off anti range bubble shield
see sniper pop shield. use void staff to kill sniper, easy
if you want a way to deal with crushers, use a mk4 sword with uncanny strike
lightning hands is one of the strongest builds in the game to just simply, keep your team alive. normally when I'm playing the only time people die is when the "leave" the bubble and run out solo into the hoard like a dumbass

[megamisto]

its for co-op with allies, lightning stuns guys rest of team clears them out.

Can we please preserve this quote for future generations.
Using Brain is a good way to enhance DPS overall xD
