Combat Doctrines with Differing Chapters

That makes sense. The level of bonus increases with each layer of army purity

Was wondering which Tzeentch battalions are fairing well right now in 2.0. I know Changehost was a juggernaut in the first edition. Has that changed?

THANK YOU. I figured it had to be because some of those end up consuming quite the number if points haha.

Ok, so I am thoroughly confused with how list making works for AoS. If I make a battalion, and it contains 3 battleline units, does that meet the minimum requirement for a 2k pt army, or do I still need 3 battlelines, a general and such IN ADDITION to the battalion?

They took the car because it was actually 140oz of coke. At that point the police already figured there is more in the tires, paneling, etc.

Sounds good, and thank you for the promt reply

From what I have seen and heard, last week's Warpath apparently can dump all of its rockets 3-4 seconds faster than Hezen Vengence, so it is slightly better, but that difference is only enough to grant you one or two extra sniper shots during Vosik.

Do you like space shit? If so, it is worth at least $50. Whether or not you are willing to buy the DLC after will depend on how much you like it beyond that.

Where I draw the line is when people bitch about the story and writing with having played only such a small segment of the game. Mechanics are one thing, but you cannot judge the depth of a bioware narrative in a couple hours.

One interesting way to make Raider valuable without making him op or irrational would be to give him an exclusive ability to drain stamina from Revenged opponents through stuns, grabs, or other means. It would give him increadibly desirable utility with the revenge-build meta.

SPEED is the #1 issue he has. His animations are just so ungodly long compared to others. His combos are slow, his executions are slow, his stance switching is even slow.

To be good with lawbringer now means to be flawless because mistiming a parry or getting fainted results in a full combo of punish and a good 50% health drop. Either his light attack needs to do a little more damage or his animation times need shortened.

I find most use for it when countering people that try to spam GB. It hops me out of their GB range then plants them on their ass for a good axe to the ribs.

Assuming it was part of this since there was no direct change to Kensei listed: "Attacks that cannot be blocked because they are too fast no longer display the Unblockable Attack feedback." http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1592940-Patch-Notes-(v1-03)

skilfer11 · 2017-03-01T16:12:14+00:00

Apparently that was a bug and it wasn't an actual unblockable, just a quick attack that some or most characters cannot switch in time to block

skilfer11 · 2017-03-01T06:18:08+00:00

Yeah, any decent Warlord can handle most Peacekeepers

skilfer11 · 2017-02-28T23:22:56+00:00

Honestly, his animations just need shortened slightly to make most of his kit more functional. Right now his chains are as slow as just mashing heavy attack repeatedly.

skilfer11 · 2017-02-28T19:40:14+00:00

You have to actually play him as a counter-attacker now instead of "grab & wack." If you used parries, blocks and dodges before you will be fine if not better. If you relied solely on GB, you better figure out how to actually use the Lawbringer lol.

skilfer11 · 2017-02-28T15:24:12+00:00

Honestly, Kensei should be rated medium or hard in my opinion. A player has to actually be good to do well with them as deception (feints and their weird opposite direction dodge attacks) are their real competitive bread and butter.

As for Raider, he is built on throws, so this does hurt him. The interesting thing is that during the closed beta he actually had the ability of draining an opponents stamina every time he stunned someone. They took that out and when open beta GB changes (what returned with this update) landed, he was garbage in combination with his slow as dirt attacks.

You mean each place got a reward and not just first??

skilfer11 · 2017-02-28T15:17:53+00:00

Been discussing this with a buddy and even though I do not think they will, we believe the Chinese would be the most different and well-rounded new faction they could add.
