Many eldar thinks than crosius is op. Is it true? I don't think so, cause of one(two) reason(s). First of all, crosius is an mace class of melee. Eldar melee warriors have not a heavier or same class of that wearpon. This is the first hardness to kill wolf priest face to face, when you're eldar. To my mind the main problem is not specifically crosius. It is main problem of the race eldar - you have not heavy melee wearpons to overcome others with it. But you have so fast speed as in melee as in movments. Use it please. Secondly, it is nor secret, that crosius is powerfull stuff, especially fire crosius. Yes melee class have to be strong in melee, especially wolf priestes. Developers, if you read it, please do not fixe crossius and macec stats. It would be wiser to adjust natural damadge like a fire-, poison- and other a little less.
I don't have an issue with the base one but I do have an issue with the fire one. I have an issue with almost every single weapon that applies DoTs in this though. They apply far to quickly in most cases and leaves literally zero escape. If they are going to keep the insanse DoT stacking on weapons like the fire one, the poison scorpion sword, narcethium etc they either need to tone down the DoT stacking or the weapons base damage. It makes zero sense to have both high base damage and high DoT stacking.
Okay, Every race have DoT. And almost all kinds of that wearpons are op. But achieve it some times harder, than use it. DoT have to be fixed, but wisely.
It's not on the same level of BS as the plasma cannon. I believe the crosius counts as a power mace - which is pretty powerful, just below fists and claws in the ranking, but still fine with me. The problem is that adding a very severe DoT to an already very powerful weapon... is too much. TLDR Don't nerf crosius arcanum, nerf rites of fire a little
The poison sword for Scorps doesn't work in the garrison, does it work on enemies in actual games? Turns out it does. It's terrible though, better to use the normal chainsword with the damage upgrade.
The fire one, Rites of Fire, is OP. Who cares who is calling a spade a spade. http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/rites-of-fire-should-we-stop-using-it.58742/
I think it is somewhat OP but the main culprit is the melee system being bugged to hell along with the lag, when a combat knife breaks a banshee powersword in a clash there is something mixed up somewhere, perhaps a slight nerf to the reach of some marine power weapons as it seems I often backflip away and they still hit me at considerable distance. Eldar weapons by comparison only seem to work when almost directly against them at times, perhaps more bugs. But yeah, I'd be happy to see DoT take a hit if nothing else along with plasma weapons which seem to be a good subsitute for actual skill, along with some maps where a setup devestator or equivalent can stand ontop of one objective looking directly into the spawn point of another, the blast of the plasma cannon gives absolutely no chance and such spawn camping I cannot believe was intended from a game balance point of view and so will be fixed, hopefully sooner rather than later. (I am of course referring to pegasus with bravos windows directly overlooking the bridge and spawning point behind alpha.)
As said above. Its all rites of fire. Same goes for the fire choppa. Funny that the sorcerer DoT's are weak as hell. use their damage as a guide to rework the weapon add on.
