Why exactly? Go full melee-man and you can't take powerfull powers that would be the tradeoff but as we all know there are no good powers so all go melee-man. Making classes unique should have been the way to go not making one class unappealing just because the devs made it role wise too similar to another class. Look at Nosgoth look at overwatch how they handled abilities. q and e for casting so your mouse is free for fighting.
And warlocks/sorcerers are so much range relevant? that's why their weapons are swords and axes. I'd take a dakka slugga + hurty grenades anyday. Specially how range is right now @DrDooManiC yes the Aspiring argument gets old. Aspiring sorcerers/warlocks are more of a character than a "ground assault" is...but who cares. right now they are such characters, that they are the feeblest thing around. They even can't compensate in lethality anymore. They are what i call Glasscannons....but no cannon, and the glass is an old napkin.
The thing is, they always force you to take a healing power (and in my opinion the best healing-power there is as in Foul Regeneration) And even if you go full melee-man, you would be a self-healing GA. Exactly the thing that needs to go, as it makes team-play redundant. 1 Man army doesn't need teammates = More Zerging and less teammates. At least that's what i think the thought behind is... Ey mate, at the moment you got 2 options to play, either you play something that can shoot or damage over range, or you play "Respawnclicker" v 1.2
Forgot wolf priest is limited to the mace... yea... at least he can toss out a healy grenade to support a bit better atm but they need something more to stay alive.... Honestly all supports do though I feel they drop much to fast in comparison to the other classes. It's like they are doing a reverse experiment to what they did during the founders access where the weapons on supports were 20% weaker than everyone else... Except this is fucking trash.
The overall fact...is that Support, is no longer what defines you.... Support is not the class itselft...but what the class needs.... So Support....Needs Support, So while other classes count as 1 player, support will count as 1/2
Last match i played entirely as sorcerer; had a lot of fun! stream of corruption is very satisfying if you have a buddy to work with
Hmm. I think the Wolf Priest could actually make for a "decent" melee unit, as the Power Mace is a mighty fine weapon. - 300 LP Crozius Power Mace - 150 LP Survival Vial - 50 LP Not-Narthecium - 150 LP Plasma Pistol (damn good for a side-arm) - 250 LP Artificer Power Armor (Bronze Armor) - 100 LP +1 Stamina Alternatively you could forego the Plasma Pistol and +1 Stamina to get the +30 HP Wargear instead, but this doesn't seem like a good trade. You can also swap the Survival Vial for the Adrenaline Vial and get 50 more LP to spend. So all in all it shouldn't be to bad of a choice, but the Ground Assault will obviously be better. And stop comparing the Wolf Priest to the Apothecary, they are so damn powerful it isn't even funny.
So less people playing support and ony full time healers are playing it now ? Team needs to protect their healers ? Sounds like a great patch and mission archived
