Can we please get a Cleric/Tech-Priest Support Class?
i’ve had an idea for an update for darktide i desperately want
-I call it the Moon of Khorne
A warp chaos gate opens up on a moon near Atoma
And it is the influence of Khorne
A new faction of enraged war hungry, blood thirsty enemies arrive
Not nurgle based at all, but khorne based on this snowy forest moon

Blood covering the snow, skulls scattered all around

-Along with the new area and faction enemies is another Class, the Tech-Priest
His main skill is a support pet as well, that comes in the style of a servo Skull
It has 3 forms as options, A supporting aura, Flamethrower CC, and Shocker Dps
The tech priest uses staves and mostly one handed melee weapons like a Psyker
But has some new ranged/Melee weapons
Dual Chainsaw Fists and Dual Returning Throwing Chainsaw Chakrams
A supporting Staff that causes +toughness explosions on its charged up bursts to allies
^+10-25 Toughness overguard on allies
And another Shocking chain lightning staff that slows enemies it damages
^-20% movement/Melee speed on hit enemies

The main idea for the tech-priest is a sort of Paladin Cleric, who can overguard allies toughness and debuff enemies, utilizing his/her floating Servo Skull Companion

its jsut the two things i really wanted in Darktide
The Khorne Faction on a new setting/map, snowy forest
Because blood and gore looks great on snow

And a Paladin/Cleric class with a Customizeable Servo skull Supporting Pet
Using Aura buffs, flamethrower CC, and Shocking DPS slowing Lightning

i was thinking that for the Tech priests 3 options, there would be 3 distinct pet/options

1: is the Servo skull that applies Buffs/Debuffs as an aura
2: is a small Kataphron tank, using the flamethrower stuns
3: is the tech priests mechanical arm, that fires off the electricity that slows

Please no more pet classes in the game.

As much as I would want a Khornate faction to enter the fray, I feel that this would be a very lazy way to do it.

Personally I’d rather see it happen as the Khornate Cult having been present and entering in a partnership (Due to Be’lakor)cause they’ve dealt with their own problems just before.

So having an update/cinematic with Enforcers hailing us on the Mourningstar, announcing them going out of the Penal Hive (iirc has been referenced to before, might have been just some sectors, not sure anymore) to re-instore their orders.

With the new faction being themed around Palanite Enforcer mixed in with Corpse Grinder Gangs, whipping into frenzy civilians or lower ranks Prisoners, those we were meant to join.

Later one seeing some maps/sector where we’re visiting the full Penal system, bringing the fight to them instead.

Arbites being a/the pet class is a good choice, but pigeonholing the potential Admech class into it too would be a quite strange choice.

Not saying that having summons wouldn’t be something that most people want (I think that more than half of the Admech suggestion mention Servitors, Guardian/Servo Skulls or even turrets), but those could be offered inside some specific Blitz (Guardian Skulls), ability (Servitor), and/or even keystone (Gheistskull)

But there are so much more to the Admech that could be used too.

Doesn’t really match with Tech Priest tbh, that is something that would match quite well with the Zealot though.

Don’t think there are precedent for those.

A weapon that is offering support would not be something that would match with the game, or with Tech Priest’s lore

Electro weapons could work, if for example we got Electro Monk staves (forgot the name of the weapon), but Electro staff exist on the Psyker + Smite too.

We already have a snow sector tbf, so they could be introduced to all the sectors, and work on that one too.

being passionate about the game is a good thing, heck i still buy mcfarlane figures to bolster my diorama and i´m already out of space :laughing:

but at the speed we kill enemies right now, what “support” would there be if a full mixed horde melts in less than 10 seconds?

power creep is in full swing/has eclipsed and even new stuff like nuncio aquilla is hardly needed/waited on.
by the time the thing is popped everything in front of me is already dead.

ok, havoc 35+ has a different pacing but all the rest below is an all you can eat buffet and everyone is chewing as fast as they can :rofl:
