"Stop hitting armor!" - they say as we fight a Crusher

Vet does need a new ranged weapon, but unlikely the DS gets removed from Vet without big backlash.

But how big, that’s the question. I guess since FatShark has the numbers they can estimate it. But you want to know a fun fact? Power Sword is a genuine contestant for the Vet’s meta melee. Its damage can be even more outrageous than the DS with the right talents.

So many people who regularly use the meta wouldn’t really suffer if you think about it. Of course logic thwarts when emotions come into play…

excuse to review bomb

there’s never an “excuse” for petty-review in the first place.

the “they took my favorite toy” crowd should be mass refunded and barred from access if I had a say in it

neither should there be weapons of such attributes in the first place.

but instead of worsening the game for all participants, show em bombers the door and continue in one streamlined balanced fashion.

don’t like it? here’s your one time money back option.

Unfortunately there’s enough of them that FatShark always takes them into account when making any changes and also no amount of logic will change it because

But can it buff bleed DoTs like Uncanny DS currently can? Also there’s the mobility difference, DS is top tier in mobility stats.

Hard to say how big the backlash would be if they just yoinked DS from Vet.

Only FatShark can estimate it. I just hope that one day, the enemy spawn rates can finally be reduced and balance brought to a stable point…

I think Dueling makes more sense on Veteran than the freaking excommunicated fanatic. Vet would probably be fine with just a cooldown on demo stockpile (make it proc more reliably but as a supplement to the gain of demo team) and reigning in the overbuffed shout. I think making the monstrosity stagger/ogryn knockdown/extra shout range or gold toughness exclusive modifier nodes that can’t be ran together would be a good fix.

There still seems to be a Weakspot modifier for the head, and it is a carry over from VT2 suggesting you hit the weakspot & use your heavy attacks, as light get significantly diminished by armor types.

Almost certainly, because the heavy stab of my Deimos Force Sword only sends Crushers to the floor if it hits the head.

Better yet, make it so Gold Toughness can’t be regenerated.
