Re: Elite Mod 2.6.1 Released

tbh elder more rec heavy then power heavy in t2 this combined with bleed = elder broke, I tend to have the opposite experience, with a constant drain on power thanks to Eldar being very power and upgrade dependent on all their units. Throw in some bleed-heavy infantry and expensive vehicles, and El...

Re: Elite Mod 2.6.1 Released

Their sight range is the most important thing late game, you'll know exactly how your opponent will be positioned and will be able to get the maximum out of Dcannons and FPs, in T3 20 power to do that is basically nothing. It really isn't though for just vision, especially not in a close game while...

Re: Elite Mod 2.6.1 Released

What torpid means is that rangers are so cheap they are always worth getting because they have CC + the best detection and sight range in the game, I don't agree with that because I would prefer them being a combat unit but it's still true. I would really disagree with them being always worth it. E...

Re: Elite Mod 2.6.1 Released

Given that rangers were never used before, no, they weren't nerfed. They were buffed! Because now they are perfectly viable in nearly every single eldar composition and add to it rather than detracting from it. I have a lot of respect for you Torpid, but this really isn't true. Rangers are still re...

Re: Farseer's weapon Suggestion

It's going right over your head that the FS should not be able to compete with the warboss for a direct combat role isn't it. She can't. What's being described above is a Farseer under several different buffs (which are temporary, I might add, whereas the Warboss stats are constant with their warge...

Re: Dire avenger aspect is cheap for what it does

Fleet is incredibly userfull vs set up teams in general, since your unit is focusing fire on 1 target, the other two will use fleet of foot, the affected unit retreats or goes into heavy cover, while you just had to pack up your Set up team or retreat it. Except for the fact that fleet also reduces...

Given that none of these are specifically meant to destroy DA (though all can be used to if done properly) but rat...

Re: Dire avenger aspect is cheap for what it does

... You realize the Battle Equipment wasn't buffed at all, right? DA were nerfed, and some of their stats are returned via purchasing the upgrade. If anything, it was nerfed pretty heavily given that it's now a must-buy, making Eldar T1 much more power expensive, and seriously punishing 3x Dire Ave...

Re: ELITE Mod 2.6 Release Thread

Lots of awesome changes, and it's great to see the patch notes in their final form, though I am a bit saddened by the Ranger modifications. Seems like there's even less reason to buy them now than there was in the last patch.

Re: Potential Shee Change

Shees would automatically have fleet of foot making that first engagement in a 3v3 faster. You usually find that people will wait for their 4th squad in a 3v3 to make them have more damage to lay on. Eldar is no exception. Most people will wait for their 2nd DA to push with first engagement. If She...

And the thing about nerf, I don't believe that the knockback immunity is taken into account for their balance.

Re: Potential Shee Change

While I understand, and somewhat agree with, the reasoning behind the proposed change, wouldn't a similar thing have to be done then for every other leap-oriented melee unit such as Stoms, Hormagaunts, the Warlock, etc. if it was done under the logic of knockback immunity? And, perhaps as a side not...

Maybe I didn't make it clear, but this is a hypothetical argument.

I actually made a point of saying that my proposed loss of AV damage would...

It is true that the rhino has more AV potential, but it also has terrible accuracy against non-vehicle targets. Not as terrible as you might think. As I have said before, a unit must have vehicle armour/high mobility/anti-all weaponry all at once to count as a tank. There is also the matter of high...

Can we just give the recent nerfs a chance to settle in before asking for its weaponry to be crippled?

I don't think I agree that Eldar don't use the falcon for reinforcement because there units are too expensive. The primary unit that is reinforced in the current meta are DAs - 27 req a model. Shootas are 27 req a model to reinforce. I don't think anyone considers Orks too expensive to reinforce. S...
