AS OF 23-11-14, THIS IS NOW FIXED, SURGE DOESNT BENEFIT FROM KEYSTONE ANYMORE
Currently Empowered Psionics keystone (23-11-07) is bugged, making an interaction with surge staff to do increased damage. If you have 1 stack of Empowered Smite active on your buff bar, Surge staff does 125% increased damage as the talent implies with its charged lightning. The blitz modifier Lightning Storm also increase the jump Surge staff does from 2 to 3. It can easily one tap everything except Crushers, Bulwark and Reaper, which is 2 hits.Also Psychic Leeching on keystone triggers everytime you use the staff, so you have almost infinite amount of toughness going on for you and your allies in coherency making survivability really strong, with the rest of the toughness nodes you are almost invincible as long as you use the surge staff.So you just run around with Surge killing everything, and melee hordes since we crit alot and using Blazing Spirit with Wildfire, we clear hordes effectively. If its really going down the shitter, just use Smite and stagger everything while your team finish them off.Generally you just spam surge staff, then quell down below 50% and repeat. And also use good positioning, be in coherency of your team to support them and stay behind them to maximize dmg since if you are in the front you will have to pull out your sword making you less of a lightning machine gun to support your team.
