pleaseomgyesplease Seriously, just for a day or something, let it happen. Or put aside a seperate server where we can try it. Have a day or something where you buff shields by 20% then next day only buff health by 20% then next day buff both by 10-12%. Basically see where the sweet spot is cuz right now its garbage. ESPECIALLY with how delayed the Alpha servers are.
I'd not mind a buff to the shields, as I've been recently testing the ground assault for SM's. The shield is not as good as the Nurgle's sheer health buff. 1) the shield stuns you when the protection is gone. 2) the nurgle can just slash while taking hits, where the shield has to stop slashing in order to defend. Something to put it on balance would be reasonably nice. PS: Why can nurgle ground assault units capture points, but marine ground assault cannot? Whats up with that?
Well that's a bit silly. Especially when Mark of Nurgle is considerably more powerful when attacking points in general.
Mark of Nurgle will probably end up costing more points to take once the loadout system is complete. I think it currently replaces their consumable item, so it has that as a limitation and I wouldn't be surprised if the devs add something else as a penalty to balance it.
