No, that's not playing it from the other side. I'll spell it out: play as a non-LSM faction and fight a yiff priest using RoF. Hardly going "bonkas" at you, you seem to be incredibly over-sensitive. Not sure why, but that's your problem, not mine. In a thread about this one specific problem and not "the big picture", pointing to other problems is indeed trying to distract the issue and making a false equivalence argument.
The fact every faction has overpowered stuff doesn't mean they don't need to balance it. Of course, trying a warlock with lifesteal and embolden makes RoF wolf priest seem tame by comparison, but the weapon is still obviously overtuned
Just so you guys know, the burny choppa is a choppa BLADE not a Choppa Axe. Which means short of knives it loses all impact trades and does less base damage overall. The RoF is a Power Maul from what you guys have said, meaning it wins all trades except for Klaw/Fist, so really there's no comparison. The only reason the burny choppa is even close at all is because TTK on melee is so stupidly fast that 2 attacks kills almost anyone with any weapon anyway. I don't know the exact numbers but I've seen the RoF do upwards of about 375 total damage after the fire dot as it almost killed my 400hp ork in 1 hit with about 5% of my health remaining.
Frankly if I had a flaming powersword available, I'd drop the RoF as if it was on fire (heh), I just dislike slow melee weapons. Is the flaming choppa moddable?
So this will show me what? That the DoT is applied trough clang? And the reason is? Lag... right... 'cause on my side I experience the same thing against other DoT weapons or any other weaponary... it is lag... even if my score board latency is 45 ms... it's quite easy to tell that there are huge lag spikes and constant lagging... but hey... must be thr RoFs only problem... maybe it feels like being the RoFs problem because you encounter them more frequently... or you are more focused on them, because they bring you down so easily (due to lag, DoT and stuff). But hey... I definitly need to go eldar/csm/ork to state that there is a problem mit lag/netcode which causes alot of problems... Oh boy... just a quick question: are you even reading my post as whole or are you just taking small pieces out of them to state anything? Yes, it is one thread about one specific problem and pointing to the other stuff is just saying that there are also other things we/devs need to look at... obviously the problem is the DoT... and why does the RoF stand out? because a lot of people are playing as WP... but I'm repeating myself... so have a nice day
Makes sense, RoF needs to lose them as well. Back to the topic: So, orks get flaming choppa, eldar have scorpion sword, chaos get a poison sword, and LSM get shafted once more having their only DoT melee weapon tied to a support class only available to 1 subfaction out of 5?
Pretty much. Still, it is OP as hell and just as stupid as Abbadons Grace, Burny Choppa and whatever panzies have. I don't have a problem with a DoT concept, but with the current low TTK it's just too much. Lower the DoT effects on all of them, give everyone a flat boost to health and then they'll be fine.
