So why are you going on about LSM/CSM only? What you clearly mean is "everyone but me". Not only that but assuming that the choppa is going at correct speed, is in fact getting it's free impact it would be neutral or better nevermind adding a clang mod which a power sword spammer won't run once he gets life-leech. Add ontop of this that it's not the sword ignoring clash mechanics, it's boosting out of stun. Unless you mean sword fast striking out of tactical tier D.bash which is a global issue. So what's actually your problem? JPA which you are openly plying it's just marines or the power sword which everyone but you gets like it matters anyway. You can't hang what you don't like with a noose around everyone's necks.
Just played my first game with the new patch. Fire Dragon is still viable, but now you need 2-3 of them instead of a solo man squad. Fusion Gun damage feels more consistent to players although that is pure speculation in my opinion. As someone who often switches to FD when needed, this really doesn't bother me. We had more people playing the class than usual which resulted in better coordination between the FDs. Overall that's just one game, I will be playing more to do some more analysis.
hmm remember when i was talking about base 6 systems scaling poorly ... its almost like 16% reduced damage wasnt enough but 32% was too much.
You should probably take your own advice man. You act like LSM have been constant victims when they have had their own history of OP stuff as well as currently having OP stuff to. Second many of your facts are wrong. The electro choppa damage never got nerfed the power attack swing SPEED did. Burny choppa WAS nerfed. Before it was getting one shots of a hit that is not the case. FD were nerfed way back shortly after release not just on tye last patch. Also I did say in my original post some of these nerfs were also bug fixes. Sometimes a bug fix is a nerf. Also last I checked the PF doesnt have near the amount of problems the klaw has and they do not have the same speeds or ranges on their hits. A PF is a better weapon than a klaw. Don't believe me? Try playing a game with a klaw. If any faction on these forums has a problem it is the LSM faction. Most of you guys don't play the other factions and understand their issues while at the same time demanding your faction be able to enact the bolter porn fantasy similar to what was seen in the Space Marine campaign. I know it isn't all of them but it is a disproportionaly larger number of the SM faction than any other faction.
