Would actually be more accurate to mark of nurgle in lore and TT8ed. The tankier the marked is, the slower they are, but their melee is also more vicious, to the point of almost killing primarchs (Horus in this case being mortally wounded)
Yes and no, in the lore they have what's described as "inhuman reactions", even though they move slow their attacks are blisteringly fast. But I'd argue that if that were to be taken into account for EC it'd have to be specifically only granted via using mark-requiring weapons, otherwise it might be a bit imbalanced if someone has a powerfist that attacks at chainsword speeds hahaha edit; And if you combine a daemon-weapon of a specific god + someone who has the blessing/mark of said god as well, then they get not only primarch-rivaling potency almost, but something that'd be impossible to balance in the hands of players ..unless they were like 500LP weapons
A chainsword speed powerfist hm? I think we've found our next Slaaneshi unique. Now it needs a drawback...I'm stuck between armor drain if you stop moving for too long or breaks easy clanging against anything over knife.
Only works against eldar... zero damage vs any other faction. As slaanesh likes it. jk Please no, I wouldn't want that in EC hahaha, the forum with fill up with nerf-whine, and if there's anything EC has a track-record of, it's nerfing Chaos things rapidly, or more often than not.... not buffing them when they're broken bad. I'd much rather have a "looted" weapon from one of the "slaanesh-approved" races out there like the Sslyth or Laer etc. Laer weapons tho have a anti-eldar element to them, so that's not too desired for a chunk of the playerbase, but they also have weapons that go so clean through things that it'd be the heartpiercer-equivalent of a melee weapon, no impact on things, just swinging (which would mean it wouldn't be possible to clang with for anything less than a power weapon :/ not exactly easy to design).
@jbregg If I gave you a list, a small list of changes. Lets say maybe 6-8, each addressing a single stat on a single item, something you could put on UAT in matter of minutes. Regarding and regarding exclusively assets of the Eldar that are known to be underperforming (not just the Banshee) and will affect our faction positively with minimal impact on inter-faction balance... Would you maybe just do it? If it doesn't work out, no harm done. I feel we could use some good news.
If they are minor things, why not just type it and get input on it from everyone? Or are they changes you know everyone would disagree with and thus never get through without subterfuge?
I am merely applying simple psychology: If I just make a list of suggestions, whatever kind of suggestions, it will get ignored. So I try to get consent first without getting too technical and go into detail (hopefully) later.
@jbregg any plans to continue the LP-rework anytime soon? Currently there's still uniques etc that have old prices and certain weapons that are just not priced such that folks want to use them over a boltgun for instance (as a boltgun with CQB barrel is 250LP for instance, and resulting in much greater dps than a plasmagun that at bare minimum is 300LP)
