Dawn of War Codex

Had a game against Ruthless and my Razerback outdps'd his Meltagun Autarch. It was like as if his gun was doing nothing. I put my Scout in the transport so not sure if that bug affected it.

Can Scout Sarge be made untargetable? LA players go straight for the squad wipe every time and it's annoying considering how badly it affects you.

Probably still the transport bug. :/

I wouldn't go that far. Proper micro management is part of DoW2. Being able to "snipe" certain squad leaders is part of the game I feel like. The issue here though is that shared damage on certain squad leaders are in place to balance out certain sniping abilities.The issue here isn't the damage and that they can target squad leaders. It's rather the the pull effect that makes it extremely easy to instawipe a whole squad without much effort. My suggestion would be, if it is possible code wise: (shared damage) squad leaders do not get pulled as long as there are other models in the squad. Maybe something to ponder on and discuss? This would also apply to any similar ability then, flesh hook, GUO hook, brother captain lash, ...

I think Dark Riku has the idea. What about making it so that if a leader is targetted the ability snares that individual model instead of pulling. While still be able to pull individual non- leader models. Would it be possible for the mod team to differentiate this mechanic, when it comes to abilities targetting unique models in squads?

You could also reduce the range of Flesh Hook so there can be actual counterplay. It's outside of detection range right now so maybe half it and then reduce energy cost to compensate.

Can the flesh hook knockback range be made to scale with its level? So it has a very small knockback at lvl 1, and around T3 Lictor knockback range at lvl 10. Would make it less punishing in the early game where it's easier to wipe scouts but would also reward good LA usage. The LA tends to fall off pretty hard if the game goes long, so it'd be nice if it gets a boost if the game goes that far.

Probably easier to move some of its range to a wargear though. How about reducing flesh hook range and having feeder tendrils increase its range (and gives the LA a bit of a heal when it's used)? That's the preferred weapon for the LA anyway.

Put this up already in the new patch thread but the PC is capable of using his plague fist ability whilst caught in an Orbital Bombardment. Bug?

I used kaboom next to a shielded TG and I sent it flying...

It was very orky
