New zealot tree is a mess

I posted the vid for the new player who said zealot is stronger now not because this was peak zealot in fact he was already heavily nerfed at that point.
Don’t wanna sound rude but I played more with every weapon on any class than u have total playtime why do you assume you could talk to OGs in such a respectless tone?

And still, no nerf for Psyker… :rofl:
Fatshark doesn’t even try to balance their game.

Perso, this is not the nerfs that annoy me, but the direction they have given to the zealot.
And you listed all nerfs. We made a thread to discuss about zealot situation. Every player agree that the zealot has not got any attention form the developpers and is weak compared with new classes… and what do they do? they nerf it and make it more defensive :roll_eyes:

Zealot used to be my favorite class in the early days (before DLC classes).

Now, there is one word that comes to my mind if I think of the Zealot: underwhelming.
You have to work harder and still achieve less than other classes.

If the next class is really going to be a Sister of Battle (with focus on melee), they could just delete Zealot and call it a day.

Sorry for the rant. But it’s sad to see this class getting left behind again and again.

Zealot was a bererker that was the best melee warrior… now the class seems so defensive. They have incredibly buffed this part.

Although I appreciate Fatshark paying attention to the Zealot class in this last patch, this was my immediate thought as well when I saw the Sister of Battle stuff: Zealot is screwed.

They literally over buffed the Zealot, Ironhelm is currently perfect against both hordes and bosses. The situation is so bad that Fatshark even had to make the damage taken by the new boss capped to prevent it from being OHK by Thunder Hammer.

Compared to other classes like scum, which has become a joke already, now Zealot needs their own balance and nerfs.

My only request would be some Sprint Efficiency as a Passive for Zealot now (mostly for 2H Weapons). Seems kind of weird, wearing robes and lacking Stamina.

Biggest downside for me was lacking damage before, but now I can hit all DPS Nodes I want, and compete. Also if I want to be more Ranged heavy, I can regen ammo on kills.

With Book your damage is a bit better, but I mostly run damage increase book anyway, and then Eviscerator, so you fill a role.

Friend was shredding Daemonhosts for fun with Dagger and FoTF.

Haven’t tried a Holy Tools Martyr build yet. I don’t like getting stuck on things with Chain Weapons and never liked Martyrdom. Procing cheat death because someone shot a barrel put me off Martyrdom.

The talent you’re thinking of doesn’t regen ammo; it just puts ammo in the magazine out of your ammo total.

Yeah, that’s what I meant.

To me this is still one of the best part of the game.

I love sawing down enemies and see them twitch as they die in a flurry of blood.

But then I don’t play Havoc, nor do I play Martyrdom.

Yes! I too go out of my way to kill all the Daemonhosts.

They’re like a treat given by the Emperor.

Same, but yeah, when the difficulty is that high on Havoc and there’s always a threat, being stuck and unable to turn camera properly makes it horrible.

You can avoid it, but then you never get to use the reason your Weapon is cool.

Whereas other Weapons can do the same job, while spamming Dodges and Heavy Attacks. :person_shrugging:

You are playing the class best suited to be the last one on their feet. Revive speed isn’t a tax, it’s a blessing. Take the node and do your job.

I would like more access to cleave on Zealot though. The position of that node I don’t mind, its actual mechanics though…

Just be ready to dodge out before enemy swings connect with you. You lose some damage (moreso vs armoured targets) but it’s fine.

I’m here to hit things and yell about the Emperor, if I happen to be the last person standing it’s cuz everyone else goofed up.

I’ll pick 'em up when I’m able (which, if they’d put regen on Stumms every 120 or so seconds, I’d happily do more frequently…) :wink:

I also would like more cleave.
