I'm bashing this back to life. Never letting it die. @BrentEllison , can you give a nudge to @Orobas , be nice to hear him on the forum's again. Thanks!
Lulz. But seriously, from a tactical stand-point, it makes far more sense to swing with your melee weapon instead of perform a shoulder charge as your arm+weapon provides greater range than your short shoulder and by attacking with your weapon can make use of stats like Armor Penetration in order to deal damage through the enemy's Armor to their HP directly. Then, due to greater weapon reach/offensive potential the stagger can be reduced/adjusted. For example, Combat Knife Sprint Attack Stun 0.2-sec, vs current minimum of 1-sec staggers? Reduction/removal of Stun-Lock, ahoy!
Flying Knee for the Eldar is in. We'll see if Orks get their dropkick. Taking a quote from the Q&A thread: 3. @Orobas , You made no promises, but I'm curious to know your findings about a better sprint attack / shoulder bash like that of the game Space Marine. How's it comming along? BRENT: We’ve looked at it but right now we’re deep into getting the Eldar and Orks functional so improving the animations for Space Marines is currently on hold. Once the other factions are in we’ll start fixing those sorts of issues again. Not exactly what I meant, I'm hoping the mechanics get changed to be more in line with SM's!
