I have been playing more the the trauma staff because it is by far my least used staff. And it's been a pretty good time. Been using the soul blaze with the warp nexus for the awesome fire DMG plus CC. Super fun. Should have used it more earlier on. Runs a little hotter than I would like.
I like the idea of the trauma staff but the gameplay is crap. Always looking at the ground, especially when things are up close. Not sure how they would change that. There must be some jank with the push and the dogs. There are times I'm alone with the dog and I do the push animation and it does nothing. It's not common but it's happened more than once for me. Maybe it was the update. Could be the weapons having different push lengths and me not being fully aware if I switch weapons/operatives. When there are other enemies in front of the dog, I'm pretty sure you'll push that enemy and not the dog so they can jump through and get you.
If the server just feels like screwing you over, then there's nothing you can do about it. I've seen my stamina getting consumed indicating I pushed but I still get pounced anyway. But other than that helpless situation, here's some tips: Dogs can be pushed from an insane distance away once they've started their leap. If you have a weapon that has only a short delay between pushes, you can just spam push and never get pounced on. You can even push a dog through a Bulwark's shield. If it's a green dog, then you can only push them while they're in their leap. If they are close to you, you have to RUN. The servers are janky so you can time your push perfectly and green dogs will still get you at close range, so you need some distance between the 2 of you to survive.
@@xstreamdray i play mostly purgatus but ive always been that way. I can play with trauma but something about purgatus i always come back to. Lots of people love surge for those pesky shooters but i love how many different things you can do with purgatus before you need to quell. Definitely not the safest at times but I have a ton of control and I think alot of people devalue how much horde clear and stagger you can dish out with it and its incredibly easy to use as well. I really dislike how much peril you build up with surge and trauma and just how quickly you do it and im so used to the horde clear of purgatus that i feel outta place when im not using it. I like to think the way I play purg i give my vet ahooters alot of breathing room to work and I’m always weaving in and out of brain burst and horde clear and I like that style of play. I also dont really like smite or assail and prefer BB which is also why i always lean so hard on purg. Lots of players like trauma or surge for melee only but purg setup does work as well. All comes down to how you use the staffs even though they are very one dimensional in a sense we still have our own styles of play.
I think I understand why you like the Purgatus so much. It is one of the strongest weapons in the game if your team plays around it. Just because if your team protects you, you completely turn off hordes so it's barely even a tide game at that point lol.
I also run MkIII Trauma staff with Ilisi sword... but I use assail and venting streak... can I see your skill tree , curio you used? I tried warp nexus on my staff but couldn't get blazing spirit...I earn blessing but it didn't show when I tried to put on my other staff.

If only stairs didn't exist, i would use trauma staff much more often.
yeah that is a notable irritant for sure.
All Trauma Staff users become Claptrap from Borderlands when they encounter stairs.

Oh it is literal fire!
Why are you moving fast ? Can i see your skill tree? Curios?

Just a general question what’s your best tips for gameplay
Learn the melee basics and then you'll figure out how to avoid damage. Everything else will come naturally!

It blows my mind trauma is the best staff in the game and you never ever see anyone using it.
Probably because the Voidstrike and Surge staffs look way flashier with higher burst damage.

@@infrared6973 That's my preferred style of play with the psyker as well. And yeah, the other staffs do run hot so that's a thing for me.
