Balance the game

[Zoralink]

Welcome to power creep and why you don’t just buff things.

It applies even in PvE, despite what some people say. (Barring them just wanting to turn the game into a power fantasy)

But try playing off-meta things and you’ll quickly realize that the power creep wasn’t that fast. Drop the Voice of Command, throw Combat Blade and Dueling Sword into the dumpster. Don’t even look at Plasma Gun, Zarona Revolver or the Psyker’s Staves. And now suddenly you’re gonna realize you’re dying much faster than you used to in the earlier patches. A group of Dreg Ragers mow you down like a shredder mows the lawn, Reapers locking onto you make getting to them a distant dream. A mixed horde of Bulwarks and Dreg Ragers could just as well be the fan from Relay Station as far as melee is concerned.

I run a shovel plus bolt pistol on veteran with infiltrate instead of VoC on auric. (And bull butcher plus rumbler on ogryn, tactical axe plus revolver on zealot, and force sword plus trauma staff on psyker)

Even hordes of ragers and maulers and whatnot still aren’t that bad. The problem is generally players not knowing how to play in general. The people fall apart because people can’t handle a single rager, ultimately the game requires people to know what they’re doing to some extent, that doesn’t suddenly negate player power level. The talent tree rework alone buffed player power levels a ton when people were already doing HI5SG prior.
