It's worked out pretty good so far. I do wish they'd fix the bug with transports and other vehicles suiciding you as I typically have to smack dat ass like 3 times at full charge and then do light taps so they catch on fire then explode instead of outright exploding and murdering me. I have a large fist capable of carving holes in tanks, at least let me survive the blast to enjoy it.
1) Number of capping classes have no impact on balance. 2) You're NOT getting another capping class, deal with it already, we do it once a week for past year now, nothing changed and nothing will.
I'll keep this broken record going and you're going to sit there and take it like a man, elf. And where's the fucker who said an additional class that can cap won't affect balance? Because I need to cave his skull in. I'll let you know as soon as the Loyalist psykers come in.
Eldar have 1 out of 7 classes who can cap and are strongest. Orks have 2 out of 5 and are 2nd worst. I'll let you draw the conclusion by yourself.
In the right hands it is a great weapon yes but It takes quite a bit of skill to use them more so than many of the other weapons imo as you have to time your shots to perfection while firing from the hip 99% of time. Also you have to know the best areas to get the most use out of them but the biggest nightmare is having to avoid team mates which is not easy sometimes especially when people are not aware that running in front of someone charging a PC is going to end messily. It is so bastard frustrating when you're standing at a door way lining up a shot to take out 10 people and then a team mate runs into you right at the last second, blowing you both up.
I'd be more willing to give Shieldbros a special dashing shield slam attack before letting them cap. Someone needs a special perk like Banshees Howl.
If they were making decisions purely based around profitability they would not have been trying to make a MMO(well not anymore) shooter and would instead be turning their programming prowess towards mobile applications. And balancing around the lowest levels of play kills games just as fast as pushing to far towards the high end. Realistically you balance around higher level of play, because you can at least be partially assured that any single component is having its capabilities pushed to the maximum it can attain, meaning you can gather more meaningful data around somethings impact and ultimately make a more correct balance change. BE will do what ever they want, good or bad. I mean, the current version is what they pushed out as their release so I honestly don't have much faith in them.
