Hi,
i was thinking of starting up on warhammer again (played beta) and was wondering;
what server to join
order or dest
and what class is most in need.
oh and is it still buggy and laggy
cheers
Lovin' coming,
If you want a ranged caster atm probably best to stick with sorc.
You've been saying that since launch
Squigs are ace! Dunno about SH's turning the tide but squigs are fun
don't roll a zealot 40 levels of misery await (well, at least 35, not done the last 5 yet )
Roll a shaman, not only do you get to be a better class but you get to be a goblin.
<bitter zealot player>

Healers are always needed. SH's are 'balanced' erring on the side of overpowered.
Zealot lovin' is coming.
Honestly 1 vs 1 you can just maybe fear a well played Sm with WoH and WLs, in group / zerg warfare coupling the fact that Gobbos are difficult to spot per se and the armoury of CC you got, i'd say is borderline OPed
almost as much CC as a BW
(the mind boggles at the amount of CC on that class... they're supposed to be glass cannons but lately they seem to be titanium pocket knives with a cannon attachment...)
That said, if you go melee spec on a SH you can throw away all these advantages and be a poor marauder*
* one big advantage though: you look much cooler...
Do you mean the totally worthless root that doesn't hit the target half the time and breaks the other half?
Or do you mean the PBAOE stun/single target stun morales 2&3that are up once per minute at best (often less due to build-up time on morales)?
The only other CC available is Stop, Drop & Roll which is single target (and top of a spec line nobody goes into beyond the first ability now) or Withering Heat (snare in the line nobody specs in).
You definitely can't count Backdraft in the Conflag line since it's bugged to crap and doesn't hit any model that isn't at the same Z as you most of the time...
If you want to talk truly digusting amounts of CC, talk about a defensive specced IB/Blackguard or a tri-spec SH/SW (KD, KB, Silence, Disarm, Disorient - all on <30s CD...Lets not perpetuate the myth that the BW is OP in terms of CC eh?
PS: Even my AM eats melee spec SH's for breakfast, let alone my SM..
AM's are proper overpowered when they get their Cone Helmet! It splits Black Orcs in half!!
I need to play a SW to higher levels but on paper they really shouldn't be that crap... wardb has them has having 33% base damage more than the equivalent squig herder abilities? is that right or is that just someone with stats using curse client and picking up new values and someone with crap stats being picked up for the SH?
Combine that with your stances giving you stat bonuses as well as the range/armour etc. (and your armour isn't easily killed *grumble*) they should be half decent...
Heh i'll give you that - Roots generally in this game are a waste of a GCD with all the AoE flying around and the fact that they can be avoided by jumping half the time...Sorry should have said utility wtf does a BW get a cure dot spell for
(it's on a 10s countdown and probably not that useful but ffs )
Snare on your focus DD...
You get silence, disarm, knockdown, root (and it's not tied to a stupid pet!)
More CC than the magus/engineer which are supposedly utility rdps...
And BW's roots seem to stick more than my SH's (ain't perspective ace?)

I love my root. It messes up the coordination of the endless horde of Order bomb groups. It doesn't need to last long.
Although I don't know much about specific SW issues, I do know Festering Arrow was doing a very insane amount of damage.
We don't get a disarm, at all. In any line, or baseline, or morale. Not sure what you're thinking of here.
I agree that we probably need our silence and AoE stun morale removed or toned down significantly. Personally i'd remove ALL cc from any burst dps class, as well as all anti-CC as i feel that crossing utility with dps is very powerful (cookie cutter spec Sorc or Cabby in DAoC for example). I think people should make a choice when speccing as to whether they want dps, utillity or healing.
So i actually agree with your point, while disagreeing with the rationale leading to it. Heh
