Pretty Nice.
My Ogryn now has a Frag Bomb which can Blow up a whole Horde xD
My Veteran has Krak Grenades and is now much more Focused on Gunning Down Enemies from Range.

I like it.
The New Skill Trees give ALOT more Options to actually Adjust Your Characters Skills to Your Playstyle.
With far less Skills which are just Forced/Wasted onto You because You never use them.

It changed everything. Weapon stats, blessings, and ofc the talents themselves. There's so much I doubt anyone has grasped the full picture yet, but so far all of it seems insanely good and fun and the options are incredible. Also they've put a ton of effort into the overall balance changes fixing broken weapons by nerfing what needed it and buffing what needed that. But the downside of all this is that while over all it seems like players got massively buffed to literally 2-3x more power than before, they forgot to adjust the enemies to match.

So the game is way easier than it used to, and T5 Auric is a joke. This means a massive nerf (or buff to enemies, which is the same difference as a nerf) is bound to happen. But again, too much stuff to say for sure, these are just my impressions based on the first 4 or so matches and builds I tried.

Good
having touched psyker a bit I like the new options a lot, no longer feels like I'm locked into the extreme utility surge staff has now that we can put it on our grenade instead

It's fun. You will need to take the difficulty up a notch from what you were used to though.

You get straight up buffed and can pick pretty much double the effectiveness of the previous skill tree

The abilities are designed to be much fun and awesome to use.
Very cool.

Its great, honestly.. But my Damage and Utility is so extreme now as a Ogryn, that i jumped way beyond in regards to difficulty. Damnation is casual now. I mean, it was easy before too.. but, atleast for me.. only with a good team.

The update is really good. But in my opinion, the balance has been shaken for the worse. The players are too strong now.

This. Crazy strong. And not just strong in terms of raw power though there's certainly that too, but also in terms of options.

For example Voidstrike does like 4x more damage than before, while charging faster, and regenerating twice as much peril back via blessing. So it's now the ultimate "kill everything including heavies through any number of horde and at any range" weapon. At the same time you can fire a near infinite supply of the new homing missile darts to just flat out kill half a dozen random specials without even aiming, including dogs solo, and use your ult to put a massive bubble that completely eliminates the threat of any ranged including gunners and snipers... all at the same time. All while ofc. having more toughness, hp, peril efficiency, crit and everything else than before too.

As I summed up in another thread, and easy way to compare the before and after power difference is looking at the left side of the psyker's talent tree. You can literally make an equivalent of a pre-patch psyker, who has virtuall all of the old feats all at the same time (where before you had to pick 1 per tier), and then tons of other extra buffs on top too. Plus ofc. that staves themselves seem to be 2-5x stronger across the board.

It seems absolutely ridiculous to me.

They proved the haters wrong... for now ^^

The skill trees are good, but they haven't added any new content like maps of unlockables, so its okay to just wait until the next content update.
