Atlas wrote:The purification rites proposal sounds like a huge buff to it even out of the gate. Going by Codex, the wargear gives 15 piercing damage as it is. Starting at 22 is already a pretty large buff.

It was buffed from 15 to 25 last patch. I don't think anyone noticed

Pretty detailed analysis, well done. This comes from a very average player who's played around a bit with the Apo and SM in general. The apo shines in T1 where the heal on tacs/asm makes a huge difference as the dps levels remain quite low across the board. Once T2 hits the damage spikes quite a lot...

I know about the damage buff, but I'm only talking range here.

Does anyone know what ended up happening to the commander sidearm range buff that was being talked about a while back? Maybe it shouldn't be in effect while moving/charging but a stationary commander should have standard range, kinda like tac/csm sergeants.

WIth the drop pod costing 350 and giving a tac squad, you're almost kinda paying 400 for each squad in the end. I guess it's up to you if 100 red is worth 100 req.

Thanks for uploading these, really fills the maestro shaped hole in my heart. Got plans to keep casting?

Tactical Marines scale better for 2 reasons as far as I can see, plasma weapons give them a potential dps against heavy infantry and super heavy infantry that SS can't deal with as well come t2-t3. All said, I'm not expert. Don't forget the splash damage on the psycannon, as well as the fact that i...

Apart from "gkt3overpowerednerf" cries I'd say that strike squad are kind of alright with their current ranged damage. From the codex: Tac damage: 25 damage per hit / 14.58 damage per second SS damage: 28 damage per hit / 16.33 damage per second I think this is where the difficulty in T1 ...

SM have trouble vs termie variants as they don't have the stuns and control abilities of other factions, like entangling web/chains of torment/pestilent strike/excruciators etc. Solution? Give the Libby some sort of stun/channeled disable/slowdown ability with an upgrade. I'm sure it stays true to t...

I keep clicking Ron Paul but nothing's downloading. What gives?

Everyone can suggest any crazy thing and moderators must keep this discussion as clean as possible. They don't... It is your opinion, even it is not right in the eyes of others you shouldn't be offended in any way because of that. All these "L2P, SM fanboy" lunges are so disgusting. Compl...

Agreed. SM have very little in control abilities when it comes to termies.

Hi all, I recently decided to give GK a go (mostly in 2v2/3v3 games) and found that once you get paladins + GK termies vs SM there's little they can do to win from that point on. The techmarine fares a little better with plasma gun + mark target but vs heroes like the Apo its basically a steamroll. ...

Think we're getting a bit off track here. The bolters are perfectly fine, my issue is with a slow firing, plasma gun, single entity model missing 1/5 of his shots

This is anecdotal on my part, but I swear it happens to me only when a Chaos dread makes an appearance. Do those hull bolters on it still fire silently?

While playing a game earlier today, I noticed my plasma tac model miss a Chaos marine squad (in open cover) 3 times in a row. So I go over to the codex and I notice that plasma pvp damage has a 0.8 accuracy modifier vs small and medium entity sizes. On a tzeench squad, you get 4 weapons which fire i...

Can anyone modify the gate on the map Angel Gate to open once VP's tick down to a certain number? Once that happens, swarms of AI nids attack both teams and make the top VP much harder to cap. Expect to see this at the top of the next patch notes, thanks

The changes are a bit confusing. I don't remember anyone complaining about sternguard being OP before the change. Reminds me of those wtf moments back when Relic released new DOW2 and Company of Heroes patches (ie. tac nerf to 990hp)

I brought this up before the newest patch was released somewhere in the balance thread. Anyway, the justification was that sterns are a generalist unit so they have to do an average job vs every armor type because otherwise they would be too OP.

Centurions are mini-dreadnoughts that don't require you to die before you get to drive one. And no, no centurions because they are actually vehicles. I would also like to repeat my suggestion of the devastator sergeant who increases damage/range. Yeah sorry for the troll post. But I do agree that a...

It seems like the period when they have 3 units and commander you have your commander and scouts and tacs is troubling you. In that time you should not try to push out much and def, and if the ork gets agressive you have to keep falling back and trying to wear down his meele squads with range dps. ...

I'm not sure about the new sternguard dps changes. It seems that the only reason anyone gets them is for the anti light infantry deeps and with the new changes they're only going to be marginally better than standard tacs in that department: Sterns: 65.32 dps (12.83+3.5)x4 Tacs: 59.38 dps (14.58x3 +...

Completely agree

I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading here. The p-dev's damage is considered "balanced" because it misses its target sometimes? In what world does that make any sense? Especially considering this is a competitive RTS game
