This is regarding the psyker greatswords “ranged” force attack - warpshock slash.
The main issue is that it does not cound as a “ranged attack” in regards to talents.
If it did it could have some interesting synergies with certain blessings and talents.
I would say it is a bug as i would wager that most people would intuitively consider it a ranged attack. Therefore i would argue that it should also work with ranged talents.
However i am aware of fatsharks sometimes unexpected and unconventional balancing decisions so i would not be surprised if this was in fact intentional and not a bug.
Example: When the veterans executioner stance did not mark scab stalkers.
Id like this to work because i think there could be some fun synergies with the talent “True aim” and the blessing “Blazing spirit”.
the psyker has a talent that allows them to block ranged attacks.
sort of side issue but can anyone confirm if that’s possible with the new psyker sword? i swear i tried it and the npcs projectiles were going straight thru to my toughness and not being blocked or consuming any peril or stamina. maybe i misunderstood how the perk works but i swear it seems ineffective?
True Aim was adjusted, it only counts one weakspot hit per attack, so you would need to activate 5 seperate Warpshock Slash attacks before a guaranteed crit IF Fatshark made the change you’re suggesting (count Warpshock Slash as a ranged attack).
