    Should just be like a racial ability or even a passive. Calling the WAAAGH! Makes you move faster and deal more damage with the other orks around you. Maybe a passive ability can really be the mob rule. With more orks in your party the more damage you do or something that deals with being fearless.

    I always thought it would be cool if Waaagh was an active ability like in Dawn of War 2. Maybe it would be a small aoe buff with a ripple effect.
    I imagine 2 abilities. One is the basic Waaagh that all Orks get, and the other is what starts a Waaagh, which is an ability held only by certain Orks.
    The basic Waaagh is inactive by default.
    Once one of these "certain Orks" uses their Waaagh, it's a small aoe buff, and all Orks buffed by it are prompted to hit their Waaagh ability key, and it "ripples" throughout the horde from there.

    Orkz should indeed have an ability that is increased by their numbers. This is Da WAAAAAGH! for example. Every ork would increase their speed and resiliance to ranged firepower when this ability is activated. The more orkz, the beter the ability is. However, there's a downside to this. Should the leaders of the charge die (Nobz), all boyz lose their bonuses instantly, or they're greatly reduced.The abilty can only be used while in a group.

  4. I think it should be like an enrage abbility. If you use it when other orks are around you get a small bonus. and when you aktivate it a massive WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! roar is sounded aswell :D

    Чем больше парней, тем мощнее каждый из парней! Большее ВААААААГХ!
    Такая способность однозначно должна быть, тогда будет оправдана огромная масса бесплатных зеленокожих. Они уже не будут просто фаршем. Только стоит ещё учесть, что бы эта способность могла быть активна только при наличии одного или нескольких боссов поблизости.
  6. I can cosign on this. I mentioned the same thing. Waaagh needs to be ingame, and looks like the Devs are lookin into it :)

    I believe (and correct me if im wrong) that the Dev's did an interview a while back and stated that this game is not meant to be balanced. War is not balanced, and this game will show that. Also i belive that they stated they had a ratio in mind for basic "1v1" combat and it was 5 orks to every 1 SM. Combining the mass of F2P players with some of the dedicated ork (Nobs!) players it should still even out fairly well. I dont think there should be a WAAAAGH bonus as it just count be counted on. But one for a Nob or other highend orks could work better. Would make the lower lvl ork players keep their squads closer to the Nobs and Bosses and this is true to ork mentalty in the 40k fluff

    It's a good idea, and it works well with the fluff. Attack and speed get's boosted by 15% + 2x% (where x = number of nearby orks)

    I wouldn't make waaagh a passive ability, I would rather make it an active ability. This ability would increase all orks dmgoutput in a 20m radius by 0,5% for 30sek if other orks activate this ability at the same time it will encrease the dmgoutput of all orks within the radiuses exponentially.

  10. Ya this would be really great & fun for all players as hundreds of Orky throats all roar WAAAGH!!! Almost in unison. ;p Plus liking that idea too of it being triggered by the Nobs to boost themselves & Orkz near by them as well!
