WAAAGH Scream Buff

    So as you all know, or not, as an Ork if you hold T, our jolly green cucumbers of death and carnage scream Waaagh.

    It would be cool if those would give short buffs to speed or melee strength or whatever to you and your buddies around. The more stacks around and scream the greater the buffs would be. Basically what I mean is - lets just say we got one boy and he want to charge on that marine over there, coz orkz do that kind of thingies. So he charge on him screaming Waaagh giving him small bonus to his speed, maybe to his choopin' skills too, delivering crumpin slightly faster. Than the same situation with 5 boyz wanting to take on a enemy strong point, since somebody told them they are hoarding squigars and fungus beer and it would be cool to loot it for themselfs. Since there are more of them, their Waaagh powahs cumulate and they get greater buff for longer time than a single ork can get on his own (also their scream is louder). And than we got 20 boyz that want to do some searious crumpin', coz thoze gitz in that big 'umie hold are hiding and are sending out mean insults, like gitz or grotz towards the Orkz. So all of those boyz mass them self and they charge screaming Waaagh. First of all it should be loud, so everybody around knows that something big is coming. Second the buff should even greater that with just 1 or 5 boyz. It should be also deadlly enough that the enemies should fear that roar in the future. Like "Hey! Those Orkz are massing for a Big Waaagh push! Intercept them before it is too late!" :)

    Of course to balance it out, the waaagh scream should have a colddown to not let to spam the living crap out of it (so a single boy would have a dilema - to use his Waaagh buff in his 1v1 skirmish or hold it for a squad offensive later on).

    Stuff like that.

    You mentioned a cooldown for the Waaagh button.

    I am sorry, I can not endorse this.

    Just do what Red Orchestra Rising Sun did with their banzai charge and have the buff activate if you have more than 3 orks doing a WAAAAGH in the general proximity.

    I like this idea, remove the global version and let Orks get a speed increase if they all Waagh! near each-other. More Orks that do it, the more powerful the increase and the longer it lasts.
  5. I really like this... But no cooldown on the Waaagh! Shout itself should always be available, but the buff itself of course only with a cooldown.

    The more, the merrier of course.

    And think about it, Wierdboysz (Elite) could have 500 Warpcharge, but only recharge it if nearby Orks shout Waaagh... just like in DoWII, loved that mechanic :D

    Current WAAAGH makes orks worst faction co capture/defend fortes. It needs to be rethink.
