Supports losing backstab bonus

  1. For someone i consider to be an idiot, you bring quite good points forth sir.
    I have to say, sometimes you can be decieved in someone... :D

    I mean, with all the new +Damage Warger, or the buffing of stongattack wargear +Backstab damage, instakills are pretty common right now. And nothing is more booring than instakills im afraid.

    Taking the Backstab from behind multiplier should hit all classes i think...

    Maybe if the mace was universal like the Force Sword, instead of exclusive to a 5th of the LSM base
  3. How so? Supports are fully capable melee units.

    The ones in question get a power sword equivalent, sorcs can even get an axe. They get damage mods and pen mods like melee units.

    In a game with an average of 2 hit kills in melee the supports are more than capable and then heal on top.

    I'm not 100% saying this change should happen but it's something to think about because honestly there are a lot of them in games and like I said, they're not being played just for heals heh.

    I'm all for cutting out more one shot mechanics.

    Take out one stam leaving them only with one (desable ugrade here too) make their weapon use the warp charge. And when they are out of warp charge they lose the pen bonus.

    That equals to them being free kills for just about anyone.
    Hardly idea worth considering, take the dunce hat and go into the corner.

    Not really if it's done nicely, they should be able to 1v1 but not to charge like creazy mad berserker.

    Apoth & Painboys are as deadly in melee with their poison as sorc & warlocks.

    It's worst since they don't use a melee dedicate weapon to do so.:p

    If they stack Melee mods they lose a lot of stuff. The 1000 cap means if you even get some melee mods you are restricted to the basic heal. Making them basically a Melee class with a inferior weapon, a worse pistol, and no grenade likely... how that is OP I don't know.

    Not to mention the poisons the other supports have (orcs) but no one brings that nasty DoT up,
