Two years of player negative feedback about this undercooked enemy class, bugs, shield hitboxs, stagger issues with overlapping shields, and unresolved hyper-density issues, with enemies walking AND attacking from inside that mass. Most of the concerns and feedback remains unaddressed. There is no …

It’s gimmicky, and based on the worst base enemy in the game. Thanks. Also I’m certain the trigger of said 50 meters doesn’t always work as intended. I had a bulwark wave at the very start of a map, when we were not able to retreat more simply because we had a wall behind us, and we waited the resp…

Healing purple mist is dumb, lazy and cheap. It should have been a new special enemy (scab combat medic/dreg witch, etc), that you need to prioritize and make your life easier. Also V2 bulwarks that were added after DT was released, are better and more nuanced than DT bulwarks. [Basic info…

Will my Heavy Evis Crit Cleave build pay off (it goes through Shields)? weeping.moon: V2 bulwarks These are awesome too. You can just damage the Shields open. Too many Skaven Shielders are still impossible for some builds, like Exe Sword.

Imo DT bulwarks are just bad designed. You can’t have them to be too slow, resilent and deffensive, cause it will promote infinite kite. Your typical juggernaut enemy should have slow recovery and big opportunity windows after powerfull slam attacks and short charges so you can punish it and those …

“No… STOPPING… MEEEE!!!”

weeping.moon: Your typical juggernaut enemy should have slow recovery and big opportunity windows That window is there, and this totally falls apart with multiple overlapping shields thanks to hyper-density nonsense. I won’t even go into the whole “Tide has game mechanics like stagger, so w…
