Re: Tank Comparisons.

well atleast they usually involve some of the best players and you have an isolated battle of one race against the other. I guess the fact that they are 3v3 is a bit of a downside but is elite still being balanced strictly towards 1v1 matchups? because otherwise i wouldnt know a better place to sta...

Rarely, and mostly against IG thanks to Wraithguard being pretty awesome vs them, but Faction Wars are not a great place to assess balance.

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

Synapse buffs may sound great when you look at the % multiplyer but the base values of each units receiving the buffs is also an important factor. ...And? Tyranid units perform on a lower than average level individually, and a higher than average level under synapse. Especially if that synapse is s...

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

VC Fex does horrible vs infantry as it cannon hit infantry. I'm sorry, but this is just plain incorrect. The VC Fex is one of the few dedicated AV weapons that is still able to hurt infantry thanks to doing minor splash damage. In fact, it was nerfed a while back because it was way too good against...

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

Sorry I wasn't exactly clear. Noisy has about 10 more pop than Torpid and there's a huge difference in req income. Also add +30 onto Torpid's income should be able to compare then. 235 vs 185. When you account for the size of his army relative to his population, and the fact that he has quite a few...

Re: Tyranids units cost too high

By this point, it looks like you're choosing not to listen to the opposing arguments, but I will try anyway. Firstly, your comparison between Eldar infantry and Tyranid infantry is a very bad basis. Dire Avengers and Banshees are significantly more expensive to buy and maintain than their Tyranid co...

For starters, because you said they were underused. A unit cannot be spammed on a semi-regular basis and still be underused. As fo...

Re: Plague marine bolter damage

Hi, Is there any reason why bolters on plague marines do so little damage? I suggest this could be buffed, since the unit is very underused and is generally a poor choice in T2. It's underperforming both against vehicles and especially against infantry. It's totally incomparable to tac squad upgrad...

If Rangers (who suffer all the same problem, and are Eldars' only detector unit and don't have the option of going shotguns),aren't getting buffed, it's very unlikely Scout snipers will. Much less that they'll get reverted entirely. That'd be a pretty serious slap to the face for all the Eldar playe...

Re: Anti-building/garrison options

For T1 Anti-Garrison, Eldar have Dire Avenger grenades from their Aspect upgrade. It will usually take two-ish to wipe a squad that is in a building, but a nice trick is to drop the grenade just outside the doorway to the structure. It will only do slightly less damage if they stay inside, and if th...

Re: Rangers are trash why?

I have seen and done very nasty things to heretics with kinetic shot, and once the kinshot goes off, high count - models do start falling. Not a balance comment, but I would like to point out that Kinetic Pulse no longer does damage without the upgrade, and the upgrade makes them pretty expensive.
