I mean you also give up on all the ranged threat with it. flamethrower is nice but not absurdly powerful and I think we should push for buffs first and see about nerf once every weapon feel interesting to play.
Interesting to play? You mean “holding LMB” into a horde?
Like common… powersword was on top and needed a clear nerf. Now it´s up to the 2nd in line too strong weapons to get slightly nerfed. Flamethrower is one of them.
yeah but people tends to make more sound about nerfing anything above as they simply stop to use the bad weapons. At this point I think class need to feel more powerfull.
And I disagree on feeling powerful, if you want that - play on lower difficulties, if you want challenge, play on 4/5. Gear should be balanced around being competent, not overwhelming.
OP just made this post becasue they nerfed his Power Sword a bit
Let us just remeber that PS issue is that is good/great against everything in melee and had no major drawbacks, like other melee weapons.
Of course balance should be struck somewhere.
If anyone believes flamethrower is OP then I guess Purgatus staff is as well.
These are horde clearing weapons and are good at that, they don’t do anything against armor and have range limitation, slow reload and so on.
In Damnnation difficulty and high-Intensity special conditions, I can melt hordes, elites and bosses effortlessly with flamethrower.
Flamethrower is a broken weapon.
Anyways Zealots flamer probably has little bit too much range for my liking but other than that, you are sacrificing a lot to be able to delete hordes.
Good for you, I am glad someone out there can actually use it properly, knows when to use primary fart and when to dose.
Unfortunataley, judging be my random games expereince in Heresy and Damnation, not everyone is as proficient and I have seen many Zeals not being able to stagger/pushback dangerous enemies or die in the middle of a horde while fumbling with reload.
Yes it is a strong weapon, so it Bolter, MkXII, Accatran or Braced Autogun.
All have their weaknesses though, which serves as balancing factor good enough.
Just my opinion, everyone can have theirs.
How weird, i feel like the threat in t5 is not actually horde or elite. Well, as a Vermintide veteran player horde is a meh. But what actually makes me cry is the scab and dreg shooters that seemingly come from anywhere and melt toughness like dafuq. Those guys are really crazy.
You missed the point, I was not comparing the Bolter to Flamer.
Marely mentioning other strong weapons, to highlight that just like Flamer they have their strong suits as well as weaknesses.
Of course it is weaker than flamer against hordes, it is not it’s primary function, it is however better than other weapons in sniping tagets, even heavier, taking down groups of tanky enemies and can deal with many threats in game.
Flamer is none of these, it is horde clear with added utility of stagger on pouncing/close quarter specials.
“The rest are mediocre assault rifles”
Bruh, sniper is a special. These scab and dreg shooters is just a normal mob. Even just one of dregs shooter that uses autogun or burst fire can melt your toughness to 0. And this is what makes revive downed teammates impossible coz we got suppressed by this guys a lot. And they is just smart like fuk to take cover. These guys feels illegal xD
If you think the MG XII is a mediocre assault rifle, you just outed yourself as a trash veteran or someone who doesn’t know how weapons in this game work.
Nah, you are wrong on both ends.
Recon rifle is far superior.
If you think the MG XII is a not mediocre assault rifle, you just outed yourself as a trash veteran or someone who doesn’t know how weapons in this game work.
