    I said leave guidance in. Its preferable as it makes the gun interesting.

    "the reaper launcher it's already bad as it is"
    I was talking about reaper launcher not eldar in general thanks as usual for reading the post.
    And Eldar easy mode ? damn LSM
    Only one of the 2 reapers launcher shot is viable and you still want to nerf it .. How removing guidance will affect attacking vehicles ? Dear ... if a vehicle is not moving we send fire dragons and if the vehicle is manned we send reapers ... we cannot accept missing shots ... OUR ANTI VEHICLE IS NOT AN HITSCAN WEAPON , we dont have multimelta ... muh firespike ... we dont have lascanon ... muh shadow spectres and falcon...

    I am ok if you want to get rid of the splash damage but dont touch the guidance .. thanks

    Yes sorry about that.
    Though I think it should loose the guidance if nothing is done to the damage otherwise I kinda like your idea of fixing the mini things and then doing something about the single shot.

    Remove all the AoE first. Then see how it fairs.

    Balance should be taken slowly and lightly. We aren't Blizzard, no need for nerfhammers.

    Still maintaining that the launcher doesn't need a nerf. The gun is good as long-ranged AV and generally decent as mid-range AI.

    That being said; the starswarm is pretty ungainly to use a lot of the time, and a worse team-killer than the old plasma cannon.
  6. Krayt Krayt Preacher

    Yes but people compare it to the plasma canon when they do not fit the same role because of starswarm beign garbage, now it's more like a AV gun/sniper (Kanon?) so because it is superior to plasma canon they want to nerf it

    hmmm just gonna chime in, ive died plenty of times to the repaer launcher, but i sincerely doubt it needs a nerf

    I think 'garbage is too strong. For being an AV gun having an AI fire mode at all is pretty potent. What's strange to me is that we've seen reaper launchers in other games(DoW) and they fired more like LMG's. Then we get this goofy burst grenade-thing in this.
  9. Krayt Krayt Preacher

    Lore wise it's more like an autocanon fire but wathever they want to give to eldar a weapon as accurate as an ork rocket ..

    Edit: it is potent but the AV shot is still better than the AI one so it is useless
  10. Why shouldnt we have a splash damage?
    Let LSM gtfo with their bolterporn and kiss our ass
