Re: Elite Mod 2.6(Test Version) Changelog and Feedback Thread

@Torpid: quick and dirty cause I don't have time right now... The changes I see there just don't match the theory you are discussing. Quick points: ⋅ It's nothing but nerfs. Not intrinsically bad (nids are very strong) but it's a warning. ⋅ HT is pretty close to the only viable c...

Re: Elite Mod 2.6(Test Version) Changelog and Feedback Thread

It is why the RA/LA wargears were left unchanged - they do need chagne but I wasn't able to test them properly so left them, better to do no bad and no good, than to risk doing bad for only a little good, right? Yeah, nids changes read like they were written by someone who wishes nids never existed...

Re: Elite Mod 2.6(Test Version) Changelog and Feedback Thread

Eldar Warlock Oh wow am I excited to play with the cloak. I've always felt WL would be so much more interesting to play with a caster focused wargear option. I like that this is mutually exclusive to the energy shield. Dire Avengers Not enough nerf to vanilla DA. This small health decrease does not...

Re: Some high level OM feedback

Nice post Crew, that makes a lot more sense. I got the impression Relic was talking about an actual firing pattern problem. This is just the simple fact that SS deal 28 damage per hit, while tacs deal 25. This 12% damage boost is pretty strong early game, but as mentioned its impact falls off quickl...

Maybe it's an animation or projectile thing? The weapon profiles are literally the exact same in the codex - 2s burst, 1s CD, occasional reload.

Re: IG tactics

Play 1v1. But seriously, if you opponent is going Rangers instead of 3x DA into 2x Shuri - you lucked out. I'd prolly pressure with double sent, double-tripple GM into a cata? T2 rush to chimera though. Careful sent play is important - they can survive 3 while volleys in fact. 80 damage per shot, ti...

Re: Some high level OM feedback

I'm not sure why you think GK lack any follow-up, SS do amazing dps to focus down Dev models before they can set up again, and they can move in on melee stance. With support of a Power Sword Bro-Cap you should be able to deal with double set ups with SS, double nade IST and Bro-Cap. Same tactics wo...

Gonna try to keep this high level, and avoid getting into too many details.

Storm Troopers and Raptors are fine, as is the TM gun and SM melta dread. Not sure if there are any other mel...

I'll just bring this over. DA Exarch in T1 is a red herring (something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting.)

Any ideas how to fix it? Sentinel stomp. HWT further back (presumably the FC is porting into your GM blob). Split GM after FC teleports. Retreat GM and execute. Send GM inside Chimera. Cata shotgun for the suppression. MOST IMPORTANT: Keep tabs on the FC. If you see him get these upgrades, keep tra...
