i something like Arbities comes into game suppression shield and shock baton are must.
if a crusader zealot comes from one the hoy orders like Cardinal Crimson, the Stormshields are a must.
Whats the point? So they are either released overnerfed to avoid the tryhard screeching or are actually fun to play and get the nerf hammer later because of “MUH POWERCREEP” whines?
Dont get me wrong, im a huge 40k fan, have been for most of my life, and would love more weapons from the setting but seeing the idiotic nerfs and Fatshark bending the knee to sweatlords, i’ve lost all hope.
For example take the Death Cult Assasin which would be an amazing class by itself with Daggers, needle and poison weapons etc
See the amazing two handed Power Katana? You think it will actually function properlly after the braindead Powersword nerfs? Nah, its gonna be yet another hassle weapon that REQUIRES good rolls, traits and most of all certain blessings to function properly.
Death Cult assassin are quite a common cult in the Imperium, with certain being melee only and other being more more lenient on how the bloodshed is supposed to happen.
And iirc they are in the acolyte selection for the Inquisition
yes it definitely would. Most Death Cults already tread a fine line between heresy and zealous loyalty so one ending as a part of an Inquisitorial Warband is par for the course.
Both Death Cult and Crusader houses have different organisations that work differently, with some being melee only and other being more lax, iirc there are twin Death Cult Assassin that appear in the lore that aren’t allowed to use ranged weapon other than throwing knives
What an idiotic thing to say and now they have ruined the game for people like you. Not just the current iteration’s of weapons but all to come what he said is spot on. You cant have anything fun now because the latrine shovel still has to be a viable alternative to it.
Don’t you see your jealousy of vet and its power sword has ruined everything for all of us permanently now. So many cool weapons in 40k and we cant use any of them because you wanted to ruin vet and used viability of garden tool weapons as your argument.
You and people like you created this problem and now your going to live with it.
Go ahead and explain how your going to balance a power fist against a latrine shovel. I’ll wait.
What like him and people like him let vets have a power sword? hmm?
Meanwhile the thunder hammer has been receiving consistent buffs. Things don’t only get nerfed here. Plus as more 40K grade weapons get added some of us, myself included, would enjoy a bit of power creep. Let the mundane weapons occupy the lower end of the spectrum. Why should a mundane axe be competing with a power axe? Let axes be adequate with niche value and let power axes shine.
fun
I expect we will get more and more 40K content as the game evolves over the next two years. Fatshark may be slower than we’d like but they admitedly have a good eye for what the fans want.
I’ve done this like a dozen times and the answer is always the same: the same way they have balanced the bolter against the lasgun
Power Weapons can be more powerful they just need comensurate drawacks. Lower tier weapons an be easier to use with less overall killing power but obvious niche advantages. The shotgun is my example always. It has a quickdraw advantage over the bolter that has made it popular with me and many other zealots despite how powerful the bolter is and how many problems its solves. The shotgun is weaker than the bolter. By a lot. But I hate waiting to draw the thing when I need to dome that trapper through a crowd in the middle of a melee.
The shovel can have similar advantages. More dodges, better crowd stagger, perhaps even better defensive stats. Maybe you can run faster with it. Maybe even it has a faster draw time. Maybe the power sword has to be turned on manually and then retains a modified power profile (as proposed in the megathread I wrote) thus effectively creating a weapon with a slower draw time. There’s a lot of options that let Power Weapons be S Tier while making the shart shovel viable as a niche alternative for roleplayers and weirdos.
