I haven’t tried auric yet cause it forces me to play several games in damnation to unlock but after a few damnation games I’m sure the class can solo so I tested it.
After about 10% of the map, I let the bots die and never revive them again.
What are yall experience with the class?
Some difficulty levels may not be functioning properly, but even so, the current difficulty is completely outdated and the overall balance has collapsed. I’ve only tried the left-side tree for Arbites so far, but even with that, they’re already quite strong. They might be slightly below Ogryn in power, but it’s almost certain they’re among the top-tier classes.
In the current environment, the player side is simply too strong for four-player co-op (or the enemies are too weak), so either the players need to be nerfed or the enemies need to be buffed. Gold Toughness is another issue, it makes such a significant difference that it’s like playing two difficulty levels lower. Personally, I think Gold Toughness has too much impact on the difficulty and should be removed.
Fatshark has said they’re preparing a new Auric difficulty, but it’s still unclear how that will turn out.
One month from now, once players have gotten used to Arbites, the overall difficulty will likely feel even lower.
