Does the Banshee actually win against a Chainsword?

    That I did not know, that seems pretty vital for when people spam better weapons, all we need now is key rebinds for it and a mod to lower it's cooldown

    Well just got out a game, my Warlock with Embolden and a Withblade was owning. Granted all the CSM were trying to hit me and I was dodging, Embolden, power attack to their backs and then chopping them down (12 kill streak FTW).

    Personally unless the Banshee has some sort of support the melee capabilities pale in comparison to an Embolden Witchblade Warlock. They need either Mirror Blades (with some sort of shielding effect similar but not equal to the Shieldbro) or the Executioner (OMFG yes please - but make it good).

    Hang on a minute are you suggesting they cut the bullets of their foes? come on not all Eldar are katana expert weaboos only most of them or Genji although it would be interesting seeing how a block could be implemented in game without GW shooting it down.
  4. While trying to rank Ork to 5, I see a lot of banshees one shoting me with a strong attack from face.
    At this time, my loadout was 242 HP, 115 Armor and 125 Toughness.

    In this case, being one shot by a SS (from the back) strong attack from stealth, I would have find it normal. Not from a banshee.

    I agree that this needs to be fixed, mostly because SS loses his job otherwise, I think lag is fucking up their damage some how, I've seen so some banshee's 1 shot and some times they strike over and over again and lose to knifes or knuckle duster in a fight.

    Quick remark: the 125 toughness does nothing vs banshee; (AP140)

    vs eldar, the 80AP weapons I know of are:
    -knife
    -chainsword (SS)
    -shuricen weapons
    -lasblaster, sunrifle,..

    Reaper Launcher, Witchblade, Banshee power sword,.. don't care you got 125 toughness.

    Also if you get hit by the Banshee Scream that won't help your situation either...
  8. Yeah I know, it was just for specifying all the defensive stats.
    By the way, even going through toughness, the banshee did at minimum 360 damage with a strong attack from face to kill in one hit. That shouldn't be possible at all.

    The banshee was probably rocking the power sword damage upgrade, I know I roll with both it and the impact upgrade quite regularly simply because it drastically shortens the fights, absolutely needed if I need to punk a devestator with heavy bolter before he can stun and shoot me.

    The problem is weapon mods and weapon bases now.

    If he was using a clashing engine it might not without a force field generator upgrade.
