Re: Lack of Power - What Now?

The only time you should float is rushing, and that is a gambit- I can save resources now to get to T3 faster for a win condition. If you're actually losing fights, you have to spend to get back into the game. The only exception is if you have good options to rat amd delay, but that's not really hap...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

But it's not 360 (in response to Cyris). And since it is 360, the odds are actually fairly high that a model that got knocked back hit will hit another model in a different in the same or different squad. That allow the shees to be able to effect two squads with their shout if only one model in a s...

Well yes, I didn't claim that's what you wanted, I specifically quoted the posts I was arguing against. On the other hand 10 dmg is a huge buff, even 5 dmg would be a big buff.

I do think we can work on his melee builds a bit. The bolter is just soooo dominant. it's quite simple - get back the APA on T1. I will forget bolter forever. Sorry to be a spoilsport, but are we seriously suggesting a power weapon with energy drain in T1 on a support hero of all things? Next thing...

Re: Apothecary things

I mean, almost all t1 wargears fall off in some way. The classic example is fc power sword. I always loved that wargear, even when everyone else was using hammer or fist. And i was smacking people around with the sword, because of the immediate value and momentum that it gave me. I think you're look...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

Yeah, shees have a quality special which means that they can dominate squads by knocking down 3 or 4 models with a single special. But at the same time they rely on their specials to be cost efficient in melee. As a rule of thumb they will crush anything that isn't a melee specialist 1v1, but they w...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

I mean are we gonna recode the game so banshee specials behave completely differently?

I'm no modder but that seems like a weird thing to change with regards to animations syncing up.

And if it's not something we can change we should keep the discussion focussed on the other things.

Re: Apothecary things

I mean that would depend on the stats you gave the jump pack. Would it really cost that much energy? If it does, then ofc no one will use it. In the end, it feels like a t2 upgrade, where it is more than possible than apo is already levelled and getting some energy efficiency going. Think about it f...

Re: Apothecary things

Yeah but if jump pack existed, it would crowd out purification rites in terms of role. Potentially it would become the best wargear in slot, hands down, which as we've discussed is problematic. I mean why wouldn't I pick up jump pack? Disruption on demand, escape for the apo, ability to close distan...

Re: Apothecary things

The issue isn't that the wargear would work too well in 3v3, but that it might work too well in 1v1, where mobility is even more important. Yes, focus fire for apo is an issue. I even said so in my first post. But in 1v1 you already have ways to spread the play and lessen the overall ranged firepowe...

Re: Apothecary things

I strongly disagree. Jump pack as a disruptive influence would highly synergise with ASM. ASM jump into Apo jump into merciless strike into Purification Rites is a lot of knockback and very hard to deal with without T2 vehicle units. And Apo would be able to jump out of very bad situations, which mi...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

I appreciate that this a partial necro, but I think it's worth mentioning: Unless they've recoded the game (which I doubt), melee specials are only one-way, i.e. a 71 MS unit cannot be specialed by a 70 MS unit. You gain 1 MS for every level, think level 4 gives +2. (Nope it doesn't, it's 73) Anyway...
