Re: Eldar Ideas

I have thought for a long time that warp throw is op. Making its radius of effect smaller so it is actually something you can dodge without retreat would be nice.

Wraithlords are also without a doubt OP atm, the hp regen needs to be quite a bit lower.

Re: Dire Avengers Crazy?

There was talk of changing its damage type to normal melee since it was power melee for most of its life. I don't actually know if that ever happened or not. Don't think it got a simple damage reduction though.

Re: Dire Avengers Crazy?

I would take Elite mod Dire Avengers any day compared to retail. At least they don't cost 300 req to buy, and 30 req to reinforce a single model. Same goes for Banshees. The real buff that Elite gave to Eldar is the economy. But rangers don't 1 shot scouts anymore. The autarch drop doesn't instantl...

Their dps has not been changed in ages. It has always been high, albeit not very bursty. The 5 DA models do roughly the same damage as a tac squad.

If there is a need for a nerf, which I don't think there is, this idea is one I'd be down for.

They can get stuck on nearly every map potentially.

Re: Flesh Hook and Independent Character (Problems)

Annnd in spite of everything everyone still thinks the LA is the weakest nid hero in 3v3. And a lot of people would say he's up there even in 1v1. And even outside of nids, very few people consider the LA top tier anymore... So re-hauling the key feature of the hero, or every single leader's feature...

Re: GK strike squads current state.

I am suspicious of those purported stats on the strike squad special i must admit, but perhaps the extra 25% radius is a bigger deal than it might seem upon first inspection?

And 2 tics should beat nemmy strike squad quite handily I imagine simply because the SS cannot special them.

The specials ARE NOT copy/paste Atlas, they have a larger radius to attack, do more damage and more kb distance. If I recall correctly... Not on my PC to check cope's atm, but it is not a copy/paste.

Re: GK strike squads current state.

I'd target the specials because it is what makes them win fights they shoudn't, for instance against shees or multiple sluggas/hormas. But they should win those fights... They're a melee superiority unit that gets shut down when they charge in blindly and focus fired/suppressed. Without a doubt wit...

Re: (Suggestion) Tzeentch CSM Champion alteration

Agreed with the above. Besides there's a reason plasma tacs are better - they can't be buffed with worship. Still, MoT are clearly lacking and most of that falls on the AC w/ MoT being really really cost ineffective. And that's the case whether plasma tacs existed or not. It was fine in retail becau...

Re: GK strike squads current state.

Are they? 475/15 for a pure melee squad with no movement abilities or ways to counter suppression.

I should hope they do the t1 melee job fairly well at least. Remember banshees are 425/20 with the aspect (right?), but banshees also scale far better.

Mortar teams are more than enough cancer in TT I think... Let's not add that cancer here to. @atlas Looking at the stats it would appear that spotters can out-shoot scouts.

It's a neat idea from the immersion and lore perspective, but there is no need for this balance-wise. TCSM are meant to be an a-moving damage dealer unit and they are worth the price for that alone.

You "face-check" with the unbleedable, very difficult to kill 30hp/s regen sentinels... Then in T2 you swap to a chimera, have the spotter flare for line of sight (as well as servo skull as inquisitor) and can also use infiltrated stormtroopers.
