Please make it so, cause otherwise the class is dead on arrival.

My godā€¦

Maybe they should nerf to death the DS.
As they canā€™t decide the right severity for the nerf. So, letā€™s ask them that they nuke the weaponā€¦

We are at a state where DS is just a problem.

Noooo donā€™t nerf the Duelling Sword, just buff everything that is underperforming. We need all weapons to be Havoc-viable not just the Duelling Sword, Plasma Gun and Infernus Staff.

Also we need more enemies on the screen, especially elites. Right now the game is an absolute breeze and not challenging at all, Iā€™m just casually killing 10+ pack of Maulers like itā€™s no oneā€™s business. Auric shouldnā€™t look like that, there should be at least 30+ elites spawning with each horde.

And again, donā€™t nerf Duelling Sword, just buff other things.

You could have written ā€œdredd on arrival.ā€ But you didnā€™t.
I have ā€¦ very mixed feelings about that.

Edit: Illegal spelling!

Arbities minis have always had maces, power maces and shotguns, lots of shotguns. They have flails and shields as well. I hope the class get 0 swords, but wont mind if they do include them.

Thats a great ask, I dont see why the game cant have unlimited slots.

I suggest you go watch any judge dredd movie, I would recommend the one with Karl Urban, and then look at this class through the lens of Justice. Its going to be a smash hit!

Surely not sir, you must be mistaken. Those are the only good weapons in the game and everything else should be at the same level. If you donā€™t believe me just go read about it on reddit.

But that would mean itā€™s good and awesome, but what I meant is that the class will be absolutely useless without the Duelling Sword (like all human classes are atm).

FTFY

Dueling Sword is a crutch. Donā€™t lean on it.

Doesnā€™t change the fact that you said it yourself.

These weapons are ABOVE others.
The pure definition ofā€¦

OVERPOWERED

Thats not the definition of overpowered. Its the definition of a meta-game in which players take generally balanced weapons but when applied to a specific style are considered strong, thus defining a metagame.

Against hordes and lots of enemies, Infernus and Ogryn are ā€˜metaā€™. Thereā€™s very few Ogryns who just like to play as Ogryn and few very few Psykers that arent running Infernus becauseā€¦ its the efficient way to play.
PG is meta because it doesnt require aim and deletes problems. Thereā€™s very few people taking PG because they want to be a Guardsman Special Weapons playerā€¦

Lasgun does nothing in these players eyes but in the hands of someoen who enjoys running a Lasgun and just. plays. a PG is kinda useless. A boltgun is alright but still meh. A lasgun does everything these weapons do, better, except killing things that require burst damage like Ogryns and Bosses. Everythnig that a Lasgun cant handle instantly can be handled in melee by the teams Ogryn or psyker anyway if the Lasgun is allowed to put shots on the field which requires a screen.
A BG and PG spend ammo (metaphorically not literally) to ignore this, and struggle with range hordes as a tradeoff. As such, since the meta is to DISCOURAGE teamwork, people prefer BGā€™s and PGā€™s so they can focus on playing individually rather than skillfully. Skill is required and defined by teamwork, not solo, in a PVE game where all enemies do the same thing over and over.

in the grim dark future of 2026, havoc 40 becomes the new heresy in which twins die in 2 hits after being slapped with 40 debuffs. All classes get the dueling sword mk4.4 that instantly kills every monstrosity. fatshark, in their infinte wisdom, releases a new game mode called ā€œBavocā€, designed only for the hardest of the hard after those whom think havoc was too easy, gets numerous complaints that itā€™s too hard and things need to be buffed.

this is beautiful bait.

i hope to god it isnā€™t available on Arbites, that would suck because then itā€™s just more of the same.

ā€œbro, why are you playing Arbites on havoc 40 without DS, bro, that isnā€™t a good build, change it, iā€™m kicking youā€

people who use DS like a prostitute sucks [REDACTED] annoy the hell out of me when they talk about it because it is always them trying to convince people that itā€™s the only good thing.

i hope to god that the only swords on the Arbites are the devils claw, the heavy sword, and the assault chainsword.

DS should be nerfed, not into the ground, just so that it isnā€™t better than every other melee in the game.

This class might get the James Workshop treatment and be stuck with blunt weapons like the tabletop. Honestly I find those weapons only marginally appealing (they usually need some meme angle like the club or shock maul for me) so ehhhh. Also $12 USD for this game at this point when no almost no one plays it anymore (speaking personally) is certainly an interesting call.

I hope not.
