Why is the game antithetical to Zealot?

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Gameplay Feedback

Zealot’s my favorite career and yet I am eternally angry at the fact that there are so many mechanics in the game that heal you despite his entire schtick being “low health”. A non-exhaustive list includes:

  • Chaos Wastes junk (Great Maw’s Resurgence, Rhya’s Censer, Lifeshare Potions)
  • Bots with Medical Supplies
  • Rejuvenating Locus (Waystalker)
  • Handmaiden’s revive healing

I just want to play the game at max power. Why am I forced to endure this madness? Just let me vent green health and convert it to temp health, save us all the trouble.

You can solve this problem with bots with the mod. It allows them to not use healing items on Zealot if not wounded.

I want to play on official realm, not modded. That won’t work for me.

zealots running natural bond also is antithetical

Because the game have 20 careers and all those things you described benefits 19/20 of them.

Not to mention your 1 HP hyper mode playstyle is only one approach. He’s a tanky mfer who gains bonuses the less health he has. That doesn’t mean you have to stay at 1hp all the time. It means you gain perks for taking hits.

If you’re not getting your HP reduced consistently you never needed the boost to begin with.

Counterpoint: I think it’s fun to cruise around at max power with insane attack speed, damage, and THP buffs. I may not need it, but I have a lot more fun with it.

I’m that case play in a difficulty that lets you drop your hp

Improved Bots mod does work in vanilla FYI. I have mine set so bots never heal me, and they all have healshare talent so they clear party wounds when they heal themselves. Zealot just pops ult and eats damage to get low again. The class design is pretty bad, incentivizing the opposite of good behavior lol. They should have a way to convert thp to green hp. That’s an oooold request

edit: flipped, yes i meant convert green hp to thp

12

you mean converting green hp to THP? and yes it’s something that has been requested.
in modded realm there is a mod where when ulting it makes all green health to THP which is cool

the halloween skull when inspecting it, after a while it will convert the green hp to THP which was cool. but a bit long and it’s only at halloween.

You can add Grail Knight duties to that list too

i said that :smiling_imp:
but yes

in general zealot only used with certain characters or if people agree to not pick grim which sadly not an advantage for the others.

I think Zealot is the strongest career for Victor. Add things that make him even stronger like something that converts his health to white would not be good for the balance. When the situations became hard you always get his full power and with the right premade team or right bots you can keep it all the time. The best partners for him are Unchained, Merc and Ranger because they all give him white health.

i agree about that, that’s how i duoed fow in cata and did all 160 ranked weaves
it’s a good character

others two very good as well

i’d also add sister of thorn because the double effect for THP farm that she can give to the team, included zealot

It was solved in Tourney balance mod.
You press ultimate and all your HP become white. That simple.
You can make such this as an option in gameplay or separate talent as side effect and keep your 19% HP as green.
