Arbites is the most busted thing fatshark has ever come up with

and its going to get nerfed in 3 months

with dogless Castigator and shock mines you can casually duo Auric Malestorm at level 19, a friend of mine hosted for me with his normal class, you won’t even get downed, and you haven’t even got to the keystone yet

those shock mines are better than smite, without all the inconveniences that comes with having a psyker on your team

and castigator is like activating cheat mode, its like having untill end invulnerability BEFORE you take the damage

Sister of the Thorn at release or Vet at release pale in comparison to what they just released

and i’m enjoing it so much that it makes me already sad if i think to what they will do to it in a cuple months

not to mention the central keystone, Weapon specialist on steroids

That’s not by accident. Look at FS’ track record when it comes to releasing DLC weapons or classes.

You could just walk around with a Sister bot and watch her kill almost every specialist with her ult mid air before they even came close. I saw a bot take down a chaos parrol with inherit radiance’s 50% power/20% crit chance/50% crit power/20% attack speed buffs it had when it first launched…the comparison is not actually there if you played both games.

This is more like WP if it was even harder to lose with them on the team, and the WP was capable of more damage and could use ranged.

I remember Sister murdering the team with FF because they could carry regardless.

as i posted before in another thread, i just want my guy at 30 asap. if that helps, so be it.

didn’t like the concept of another thing that freezes enemies in place like smite though, and 15 seconds is stupidly long.

SoTT was the most busted OP DLC thing I think I’ve ever seen in video game, it was disgusting.
I only bought it after the nerf, not trying to brag, but that’s just how broken she was. Also Elgi.

I thought so too, but i watched some more vids and asked one of them directly about that, so no, it is not better, it kinda worse, because of how stacks spent.

the biggest bonus weapon specialist give you is 15 attack speed for your melee…

this one give 15% damage ranged/melee, 50% more ranged cleave which is insane, you still get the 15% attack speed and 15% fire rate like WS, +25% crit damage and +25% weakspot damage for your ranged

and that 20% reload speed which is huge for your bolgun build making Arbites the best gun class

and the activations requirements doesn’t require you to play any stupid minigame, you just play the game normally

normally you would have more melee gained stacks for your ranged attacks which is perfect, so that you make every shot count 50% more than any vet could do with his

Tell me, old man, what SotT release was like.

You could kill monsters and 2-3 lords on cataclysm with only 3 javelin throws

she had a replacement for the wall that was an eruption of thorns that did yuge damage and DoT. it was so conceptually broken and actually broken with Sister’s abilities (carrying multiple charges of ult) and skill tree. the razor thicket was so broken it was totally removed and now we have the tangly weed instead for the enemy affecting one. you could also bank like a million guaranteed crits.

The game would crash somewhere around 3000 if I remember correctly. And yea sister could oneshot an entire patrol with almost no effort and without sacrificing resources.

Maybe you right, when i level up to 30, i’ll do middle keystone build to test how it works myself. I am most curious about this one.

She was advertised as Vermintide’s first support oriented class. Tree flavored artillery support.

and also you don’t just lose your stacks by just existing, every stack you get you are going to use, unless you miss the target which is an uncommon occurance

also you don’t lose anything when you swap your weapons. if you get a buff ‘‘when you swap weapons with X stacks’’ you can just get that 1 or two stacks back and swap it back and gain the same stacks

i personally think the development of his talents are somewhat influenced by SM2 activation methods, noone of them suck and punish you for playing the game like with veteran, which is something that for me is quite the treat

Hate to tell you this but this but Weapon Specialist is the exact same

F no, doesn’t feel like it, not one bit, you can play it exactly like you want, without thinking to get your ranged out to buff your melee, it all comes as a bonus
