Top post edit; Strawhat replied below (post#95 or so). [image] Nightmares & Visions - Early Balance Look - Dev Blog Pt. 3 I won’t say it will never happen! We are open to conversations around that one. Fine, lets start (another) conversation. The conversations have been happening for months a…

[image] MunKy: If you dont elaborate good sir, I consider the day mine :face_blowing_a_kiss: Oh no, he’s stealing the day! He’s going to Carpe our Diem! Someone quick, stop him!

Its too late, I feel accomplished. My ego is soaring. I AM UNSTOPPABLE! (in case the sarcasm wasnt coming thru, Im joking, I really just wanted @SudoTronic to explain more betterer)

The need to use DS in Havok is the reason I stick with Auric. I would prefer DS to be around the level of other weapons, preferably other weapons buffed around the level of Relic Blade & DS.

Just registered only because of this conversation. My main character is Psyker (playing other classes too of course). Since I’ve started to play Darktide, I tried more than 50% of available melee weapons before I got DS. I don’t wanna begin a holywars about classes and skills but personally for me …

I wouldn’t worry too much. The main things that would logically get nerfed about the DS is the sprint speed slightly and the carapace damage. Most likely the weapon’s dodging power and damage against non carapace enemies won’t get hit hard, if at all.

[image] dk2mq: DS was a Psyker only class weapon. Then devs shared (?) it across Veteran and Zealot (?) and now you want to nerf (?) it. Ok, but nerf it only for Vets and Zealots please. Not for Psykers. This weapon was designed for Psykers. So take it back to Psykers only. [darktide:…

You’re linking a video which demonstrates just a simulation. In a real game, you won’t have time to run away from the boss to kill specials to get 25 stacks of the buff while simultaneously waiting for the Gaze cooldown, kill all the mobs around, and fight only the Plague Ogryn in an open space. Thi…

From Tanner Lindberg’s videos on YouTube, I guess that for classes the goal is Vermintide 2 balancing. I don’t think that’s achievable or fitting for many things such as the skill tree, because it is fundamentally so much different, but if anything, aim for Vermintide 2 balancing with Darktide weap…

[image] Medwin: The need to use DS in Havok is the reason I stick with Auric. I would prefer DS to be around the level of other weapons, preferably other weapons buffed around the level of Relic Blade & DS. There isn’t a need to use DS in Havoc (I don’t). It’s just a very overtuned weapon in …
