Re: Supression teams (Devastators)
I kind of agree that Vengeance Rounds should be more of a generic upgrade than a weapon upgrade that is comparable to something like a Lascannon or an Autocannon. VRounds just don't make enough of an impact to merit them being treated as a separate weapon upgrade. All the upgrade gives is an ability...

Re: Can't stop wondering about catachans
Unlike Scouts, Catachans are SLOW. Catachans are Speed 5, they have no FotM (unlike Shotgun scouts), and they lack a charge (which makes them a crappy melee unit). I don't know if Catas are underpowered or not, personally I think they suck, though I confess that may be personal preference to some ex...

Re: Supression teams (Devastators)
I was thinking that since "Advanced Targeting" still seems somewhat underused, you could make it into a general upgrade that applies to both Heavy Bolter and Lascannon. If the Devastator is armed with the Heavy Bolter, it receives the Vengeance Rounds. If a Lascannon is armed, the Devastat...

Re: Important balance stuff
Doom gives +40% damage in T1. I believe it is too much. If you do too, say it. Otherwise, say you don't. Anyway, please do not bring data that is not only irrelevant but also flirts with absurdity. I would give Doom a +30% damage taken. And the same for Mark Target, with a bigger cast range. For co...

Re: Supression teams (Devastators)
Very well, I suppose the Havoc Lascannon is better. Since this wasn't the case in retail, I suppose this change was made because Chaos struggled with vehicles in Elite. In my experience the Autocannon is seen in specific match-ups like VS IG. The loss of suppression is a pretty big drawback, and ofc...

Re: Supression teams (Devastators)
It is questionable whether or not Havoc Lascannon is better. While Havoc Lascannon doesn't have windup it has longer overall cooldown. Or at least it was that way in retail. I'm not sure if this was changed in Elite. In any case the Lascannons are very close in terms of performance. As to the Autoca...

Re: Important balance stuff
I disagree with nerfing Doom. Or even nerfing Mark Target, for that matter. Yes, the abilities are powerful, but these aren't offensive heroes we're talking about. The Farseer, for example, has the combat effectiveness of an Apothecary without upgrades. Why would anyone choose this hero over the War...

Re: Supression teams (Devastators)
I feel that Devastators are fine. Yes, they may not be the best set-up team in the game, but even that is debatable. If Devs are the worst, then they're the worst by a very slight margin. First off, when comparing them to Shuris, one should keep in mind that eldar rely on their set-ups teams much mo...

Re: IG Balance Assessment
I agree with Riku that IG are in a pretty good position. Now, I confess that I haven't watched that many IG games recently, but I'm not just seeing the IG opness. Spotters are good, but their abilities are the only "combat value" they offer. And the abilities are evadable, and cause mostly...
