Enemy gains 1-4 Stack(s) of Soulblaze on Critical Hit, to a maximum of 3-12 Stack(s).
5-8% Strength for 4.5s on Kill. Stacks 5 times.
-8.5--5.5% Charge Time on Chained Secondary Attack. Stacks 3 times.
Gain between 3.5-5% and 14-20% Critical Chance based on current level of peril.
Empowered psionics is gone, but I don't like how slow voidstrike charges and I've never liked trauma or purgatus so here we are.
Brain burst is nice for taking out snipers and sometimes gunners, but its damage is too low and more importantly its charge time is too slow for much else.
Basically, this build uses the surge staff for lots of critical hits and anti-elite/specialist duty.
Between perilous combustion and blazing spirit, you should be spreading a fair bit of soulblaze. Wildfire is nice not necessarily for the damage but because you'll be spreading soulblaze to everything now and that gives lots of chances for in fire reborn to proc.
