Knob is only OP if the enemy faction has poor detection. Its the reason Knob has been historicaly very strong vs Eldar for example. I would say that some of the Ork stuff is over performing though. Burnas + Nob turn sluggas into monsters and coupled with the very cheap truck it becomes kind of silly...

I am not sure wheter the IG problems are based within the IG rooster or within other races. Elite gives out much more options for IG to counter setup teams, given how Catachans are cheaper and you got spotters.

@Crew:
I disagree mate. From my experience banshees are the least effective vs GK of any heavy infantry races.

Drop pod is broken. It is a major counter to the biggest goal for the opponent, bleeding models, to delay the tier 3 tech.

Have you maybe considered that WSs are not that good in this mod? I mean, they are not that worse then in retail, but a lot of the things around them are stronger and/or cheaper while their upkeep and reinforcement cost remains huge. They do not explode retreating stuff anymore either. THey also hav...

I have found that banshees are pretty much worthless vs OM/GK. Reapers on the other hand are great.

The same reason Drop pods are super strong and cheap. Overcompensation for SM sort of sucking in retail.

Count me in, its been ages since I have played in a tourny.

@Crew: I find banshees great in Eldar mirrors, vs Orks, vs Nids and solid vs Chaos. They are, however, bad in match ups where their shelf life is limited and the enemy has excelent scaling units or very strong tier 3. Vs IG, I find guardians and shurikens into falcon and WG a dependable strat and th...

Archon as a Dark Eldar sub faction for the ELdar.

I have tried reapers. But that means giving GKs the initiative in tier 2. But perhaps in the new patch..

I have, however, found that banshees are absolutely worthless in this matchup.

How do WG + falcon fare vs GKs?

I know exacticly how much HP each and every setup team has. And I also know that later on in the game AV setup teams can get gibbed by pretty much anything. Core squads are the two req only squads a race can purchase in the game at the beginning. And in many races one of the two is combat oriented a...

Oh my mistake then. Sry

I will try to give feedback on a race per race basis, but first I want to take a look at some of the general stuff: - squad leaders need to be the last to die for all races or - squad leaders need to be reinforced for 50% of the cost after their first death - Terminators of all varieties need to be ...

As far as I am concerned, Kommando drop needs a an energy cost. It provides a tier 3 squad in tier 2. It is also one of the reasons Knob is great against Eldar, due to not slowing down tech at all, while providing orks with a strong squad for map presence that is power free. Even the WS drop needs t...

Question:

Noise marine artillery fire KDs through shimmer orb. Intended?

WS might be great, but they are also one of the heaviest squads to sustain in a game. They are also very fragile so more often then not one blast will send them home. Not saying that they are bad or anything, but they cost an arm and a leg and are made of tissue paper.

I am having trouble figuring out EvGK. Can anyone give me a basic rundown of the strats, BOs and Cap orders one would use to fight them?

I do pretty solidly in tier 1 but come tier 2 I do not know what to build. And going hyper tier 1 seems to be map dependant.

All and all, pre TioW was hardly a game.

So reapers are normalized in cost and upkeep with WSs? makes sense.

Stikk bombas also 1 shot killed generators.

I have this feeling that some of the more extreme tier 3 stuff is a bit to easy to get or is too good now that tier 1 and 2 have been normalized. I feel as if that Nobs, Seers and other purchasable units were always tier 3 and terminators were tier 4 due to how bad SM tier 1 used to be. I feel as if...

Why just not remove the AoE of the venom cannon all together?

Perhaps solving the Ork issue would be by simply upping energy costs a tad instead of nerfing?
- increase burna cost by 5 power
- increase slugga Nob cost to 100/30, He is damn well worth it
- increase truck and Kan power cost by 5-10

I do not think that adding a small passive energy regen buff to the shield purchase would hurt.

I am not talking about a straight up shee buff, and I agree that banshee leader dying is not an eldar specific problem. Someone mentioned leaders rebuying for reduced cost after the first purchase, and I sort of like the idea. What I am suggesting is a premium late game upgrade that would scale up b...

Eldar: - banshee exarch dying too often and/or banshees scaling poorly into the late game (could use a tier 2.5 or 3 expensive upgrade to trainsition them into the late game) - Autarch shield ability conflicting heavily with other high energy cost abilities - detection, even though the guardian warl...

heretics one shotting sluggas with ToN. Around the 6:25 mark.

The German tournament thingy was common knowledge for anyone who knew anyone about DoW2, even during the tournament. It was hilarious. It had nothing to do with money, nor did I get any, nor did we expected to get any. It was a prank that got out of hand. So there is no reputation to be gain nor los...
