Dire Avengers have this ability in Dawn of War 2,and it's useful. Dont know if this ability is also useful in a third person shooter,but if the Dire Avengers have this ability,maybe it will make this class more tactical?
Given the amount of toys, accessories, equipment, consumables etc. which classes are meant to have access to I don't see this really being a stretch. It may be somewhat overpowered.. but if they behave anything like Halo 3 energy shields i.e. shoot the projector and it's destroyed, it might work very well depending on shape and size.
Ya we should have that But maybe not as a avenger only loadout option I see it as the best item for dark reapers since they are the most stationary class of Eldar and can make the most use of it The shield should have a max dmg it can take which regenerate when taking no dmg And as my above already stated the projector should be destroy able
Eldar are supposed to work as a team. Dire Avengers set up the shield, and Dark Reapers hide behind it. Each class is supposed to have its role, and each role aids the others.
While a nice idea, this doesn't come from anywhere apart from DoW 2, so I'm not sure the devs even can make something like this.
It'll be available to DA Exarchs to give people the option of using the DA in a more defensive role. This is one of those instances where a piece of wargear is restricted to Exarchs only cause it'll change the way a class behaves.
That was what in my mind,and shield only cannot be penetrated in one direction,so if the attacker attack from behind or side it wont be too overpower.
Probably should note I don't think we're getting Dire Avengers in a completely Exarch role (i.e. able to take melee weapons) I'm rather sure the Devs noted they wanted to make DA Exarch an Elite Class and outside that Dire Avengers wouldn't have access to melee weapons (and yet there's a Diresword in the Rogue Trader..) There is probably little standing for an actual deploy-able force field, that much is true, but I think it was DoW's take on the Shimmershield. That said in the Vanilla game Guardians were your main troop, I don't think Dire Avengers were available outside ELITE mod. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what they do about the Shimmershield.
The deployable shields in Dow aren't really a thing in the lore, but I guess you could have mobile shields infront of a waveserpent.
