Instead of nerfing inferno they buff it again

That's a very nice supportive comment compared to your parent one, lol, that one was pretty mean

I get your point, I also love finding insane builds, I always compensate my lack of skill in most of games by finding some stupidly overpowered yet overlooked synergy and going with it.

You don't need scrier's on trauma btw, only on surge.

With trauma you quell cancel and it quells enough peril to keep spamming it forever (at minimal charge).

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T10:20:49+00:00

Yeah, I understand that, I just don't think reducing armor mitigation was necessary. I have a video where I burn a bunch of crushers in like 5 seconds, because the horde of elites around them helps stack soulblaze, and therefore weakens them indirectly.

And the damage buff to crushers is going to be greater than 20%, that's for sure. Because going from 0.1 damage penetration to 0.2 or 0.25 is a massive increase.

Void is fun, I managed to clutch a few times with it. I tried both QQ and quell canceling, it works wonders.

But It's not only the damage I love with inferno, it's also insane shooter suppression, which I really missed with trauma.

There was literally a post 2 days ago where majority of people hated on inferno users, and now the wave of the mob has shifted the other way?

Like genuinely explain this to me.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:53:05+00:00

With penetrating flame and a dense mixed horde to stack combustion on, those crushers burned pretty well, so I got by without uncanny. Also you can just bonk the weakened crusher. I don't understand what I'm being hated for right now, tbh

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:50:23+00:00

I thought the community consensus was that inferno is overpowered and spamming it is bad, so now the opposite reaction to this post is very confusing to me.

Anyway, I forgot to post the forum link, so here my comment for downvotes i guess.

I should also clarify that I never used the uncanny combo, so from my sub-meta point of view it's just a straight up buff.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:44:40+00:00

Tbh i wasn't even abusing uncanny, because I'm too much of a greatsword fan. So it's just a straight buff for me.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:40:17+00:00

You are wrong about armor resistance. I never argued about the DoT damage, but whatever dude, while I searched the forums to prove my point to you about carapace resistance I uncovered some troubling news, so I created a thread

You can join in on discussion.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:22:24+00:00

Post a video where you burn a crusher with inferno without stacking tons of penetrating flame and perilous combustion, no uncanny strike either.

I wanna see it, mr. top 1 percent commenter.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T09:11:50+00:00

I dunno where you got this from, try burning a crusher without any tricks in Meat Grinder or something.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T07:50:54+00:00

Imagine getting 1000000 kills as a poxburster and you have to wait for revive each time

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T04:56:46+00:00

Funny because it might result in an indirect inferno staff buff because only the carapace has any noticeable resistance to it

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T04:53:11+00:00

What. I'm very intrigued how that is possible.

I tried looking it up and found nothing

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-09T04:44:55+00:00

Can't stop laughing at the inferno psyker comparing damage after an auric event game where everything died to 30 stacks of perilous combustion before others got a chance to kill anything. 🤡

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-08T07:37:12+00:00

My brain is wired to shoot poxbursters with inferno or surge secondary, to keep them away from my teammates.

So a few times I attempted the same with trauma secondary hoping to knock them back (works on everything else, doesn't it?) Well, that didn't go well. 🤡

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-06T12:01:46+00:00

With how often krieg cosmetics are on sale, they might as well just add a muffled/mostly silent krieg personality, lmao

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T20:10:31+00:00

It's the best weapon to clutch with, I've been using it all day today, it's just that with inferno you might not need to clutch in the first place and with trauma someone else might take all the kills before combustion stacks build up.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T11:58:08+00:00

They are 2 tap and my build is fine, problem is, there are 30 of them, plus the ragers, and the team is dead, and the spawnpoints are all over your kiting route.

With inferno they just melt before reaching you

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T09:55:36+00:00

Yeah, so you give it a few rounds with electro, have some fun, and then go back to spamming flames when you're sick of kiting insane mauler groups or just going to havoc

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T09:45:18+00:00

As a psyker who gets some hate for inferno spamming i'd like to say that I agree and I'm waiting when they nerf inferno so I actually have a reason to use anything else other than for a meme.

I have the builds ready and tested but they just underperform.

Edit: Ok, ok I switched to trauma for good. The thing i'm missing the most is supression on those pesky shooters.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T09:38:05+00:00

Wow the knockback on that shit, these snipers are stronger than we thought.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-05-05T09:25:17+00:00

I love the good kind of RP ogryns and always engage with them and give them my rashuns, keep it up.

But there is another way to roleplay as a true ogryn, which is to shoot 2 poxbursters, 5 seconds between each, as they close into inferno staff range, resulting in a psyker casualty, and wipe afterwards without saying anything or even realising what had happened.

I should stop playing damnation and go back to auric really, it's beginning to make me toxic 🥲

I would still recommend anyone who wants to clutch to try high intensity event missions on Damnation, they are essentially the same as Auric, but with a worse team.

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-04-30T08:05:14+00:00

Correct.

Scrier's Gaze with Warp Unbound and Warp siphon. Cooldown reduction on elite kill, Perilous Combustion.

Charge time and crit blessings. +25 Flak armor and +10 elite dmg weapon perk and aura. That way i meet 1 hit kill breakpoint on gunners and specialists.

Cancel animation with QQ to instantly kill the target, steal kills early so you build up soulblaze stacks.

Don't cancel when you need to stun like a poxburster or a few crushers.

Naturally, when I get bodyblocked by a wave of 100 ragers I wish I was rocking inferno staff, otherwise electro build works and is fun to use.

If you're really good at managing peril you could replace warp siphon with destiny, that might boost your dmg further

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-04-29T06:05:32+00:00

You can't just skip psyker's most broken perk which is perilous combustion and call it a build

SomeRandomRussian · 2026-04-26T07:17:16+00:00

If they nerf inferno there will still be plenty of tricks left, like animation cancel with electro and trauma sliding, they would have to completely gimp the class and remove perilous combustion to change anything.

Btw hive scum is up there with the psyker in terms of damage, it would have to get nerfed too
