They're fairly balanced as is but theyre Damage over time weapons are idiculously effective. -Aoe Poison trap/grenade -Burny Choppa (Just as bad as the pre nerf Wolf Priest stick) -Sicky shoota -Painboy melee Just got out of a game as chaos where i spent a good third of it under high levels of ailment. Mostly poison but the melta damage from the burney choppa spikes so fast.
Sure, nerf the pain boy, if you remove the ranged heal of warlocks and Sorcerers, as well as lower their force weapons to knive-levels. That way, every support class of every faction can feel adequately inferior to everyone else!
Honestly two of the other are fine, you can shoot the poison grenades, and the sicky shoota doesn't kill fast at all. The burning choppa is broken however since it applies affliction on jpa slam. The painboy melee is the same as the apothecary though so that's something to keep in mind.
You do realize that poisons are main damage source of painboy? Can't deal with that? Bring a support.
It fills the entire bar with 2 fast attacks just like any other melee weapons with dot effects (the exact same reason why people complained about rites of fire). The rest of the poison stuff is fine though.
All DoT weapons are too good. Apoth and Painboy build very quick, but the poison damage is tame compared to the burning weapons. I got smacked with one light attack last night and lost half my health as a space marine with the master-crafted armor (rank 3 armor). I think those additional effects warrant either a significant LP cost or need a serious reduction in the build-up.
1) superior apo and corgi priest do exactly the same 2) its a KNIFE durability weapon, he would be a free kill without that. 3) Rites of fire OHK everyone left and right on singular FAST ATTACK while being a T3 weapon-overpowered was bursting from it in all forms.
1) Why are you repeating what I just said? 2) Durability? This is your argument as to why it's okay for it to kill people with 2 fast attacks? really? Do you really think you're going to clang a lot with a weapon that kills with 2 fast attacks? 3) Nah it also required 2 fast attacks
Burny Choppa is already on the chopping block, it's getting nerfed to the same amount of burn as Rites of Fire in the next patch.
I don't know, as a LSM player I personally don't have much issue with Ork's DoT. I DO however have a problem with RoF being the ONLY DoT weapon nerfed. I also have a problem with orks instant p-charge attack. DoT however..not so much.
