Well if they bring melee in line to be more balanced and fair to play against it only makes sense that other things being heavily relied on to counter the current system could also be toned down. I actually dont think tue rokkit needs a buff outside a little more damage to vehicles. The fire, reload, and accuracy just dont bother me. Getting killed by a ~1 second charge that has amazing range accuracy and doesnt cause the user to be left with a window of counter play does bother me. If something on orks is OP I'll call it out as well. I see a lot of complaints with elctro choppa but I havent unlocked it yet. Even if I did I'd probably still use base choppa or axe for my slugga boy. I dont like using OP things or cheesing people...unless it is redploying as a JPA finds me on a heavy, then I say screw it because whats the point of wasting my time with a gaurenteed death.
Just run if they are not too close you can do this. Your ranged you want to keep the best range you can on them. If they are too close tho they will melee you and apply a movement cripple. If they are fast attacking do a heavy attack it will hurt them then do a dodge and try to run. If they are doing light attack use Dbash if they clang on the Dbash they will get a slightly longer stun them and then you can roll and run away. Never roll forwards or backwards always roll to the sides the roll is faster and farther. It takes practice but in my experience you should decrease your trouble allot with it as you practice. This will also make you more confident as then you will know what to try best in a situation and what most likely your enemy may do.
Same here too bad the Eldar do not feel the same usally half of there troops are FireDragons... Sometimes I dont even fight or run I just walk right up to them from across the map so they have to reconise there behavior and question if that is really how they want to play. Also I dont melee eldar every eldar melee is stronger and faster then anything I have managed to bring to bear. I can melee vs there blue unit tho and they are nice enough to usally go toe to toe considering there melee damage and attack speed is the same as mine at that point. And there is the Plasma spam coming from the oomies.
Yup they get hard countered by a good dose of dakka. Which the melee heavy marine factions dont seem to wanna do so they end up calling eldar OP instead of just changing to suit a situation and just shooting them.
There are so many Man Childs that play this game that think they play 10 hours and know the game in my experience it takes around 40 hours to have a good grasp on most of the mechanics as well as how to use them.
This does not apply to me I doubt im better then you guys just more experienced Because I rek melee with the basic dakka defgun you get,sometimes the shoota or rokkit too, the sticky nades are also great, as well as using range to support allied melee classes and such. also the melta bombs are great vs groups at points. The melta is also really good is has better range then most use it at.
Hey guys, we were doing it wrong! We just needed to shoot em! Their movement speed combined with their iframe animations actually skipping frames makes it almost impossible to land enough shots to kill one before they end up in melee. Sure, you can catch one during an execute or a dark reaper braced on a ledge, but in the open they are almost untouchable.
Ok I agree not to cap with the Rokkit launch can they just disable cap when you have the gun? I have never capped with my rokkit launcha its for vehicles mostly
I would arque the Rokkit is that standered for OHK weapons cuz if I am lucky I can hit 1 out of every 3 shots.
So I geuss you guys dont have storm bolters anymore? HB got removed? Modded bolter doesn't exist? So all in all yes in fact you are doing it wrong. In mass a bunch of bolters will actually kill eldar pretty damn easy. Problem is you guys keep relying on your super powered melee which they beat you at and then get all huffy about it. If I can use a slugga pistol with no fear against a banshee then I think you guys can manage just fine with bolt weapons. Instead of shooting the idea down before even testing it maybe try it and stay with a group. If anything a cordinated SM group is one of if not the most powerful things in this game but because you guys keep trying to Rambo it up and then not succeed you blame everything else.
