Zoanthropes. Why?

[Sister of Battle]

Why is Sabre incapable of even making this enemy reasonable.

Why are they so unbelievably tanky even without their bio-shield?

The more i play this game the more i realize the lore inaccuracies going beyond the bounds over and over. Thropes are glasscannons, they're not supposed to tanky and high damage at the same time, they're supposed to buff gaunts and warriors around them, deal high af dmg but die quick.

atm they're not glasscannons, they're simply just CANNONS.

Braindead decision to make them this tanky, on lethal I find myself doing fine but occasionally i go down to substantial with a bulwark to help out the new guys and i literally cannot kill them with my ranged weapon in time at SUBSTANTIAL. I spent all 120 of my shots with a plasma pistol and neither of them died to it. I reloaded at resupply location and repeated, 120 shots again and they just wouldn't die lol.

What was the design decision behind thropes? Do not get me started with the Neurothrope btw, i am only talking about Zoanthropes.

[Soji]

they are not unbelievably tanky what? Are you sure you're shooting them in the head? There will be 2 sets of hitmarkers showing you're scoring a headshot, make sure you do, those things get put into execution range with 3 stalker bolter shots.

Eh, Neuro isn't so bad. At least the hitboxes (mostly) match the attack. And its a boss, so the increased BS makes sense. It also doesn't leave melee classes completely helpless.

Its that beam they have that really needs looking into. There's no way in hell the hitbox matches the animation in the slightest.

[Somber Chan]

They can be 1-2 shoted with las-fusil or crack-grenades. And pistol if you did not notice is a secondary weapon. So yea. Plus Im sure you just firing plasma and not charging it.

Zoanthropes. Why?

Sabre. Beams!

[AonGreyFox]

Yeah, the fun way of dev decide too add beefy HP to enemy that should not have. And a laser that hurt more than boss attack with broken hitbox :v

[Epathos]

They are very easy to deal with actually. "insert beating the dead horse meme".

[Foxplay]

The only problem I see with Zoanthrope's is that it seems like the dev team thinks 2 Zoanthropes is equivalent to 1 Lictor or 1 Ravaner. When other extremis enemies can be parried, stunned and quickly killed Zoan can only be quickly killed depending on your class composition/weapons (Tact/Sniper/Heavy) and also provided the zoan's dont't do some cheese like having a sheild up while the un-shielded one is around a corner shooting beam's thru the wall

The other extremis can be parried and killed super quick, staggered with melee attacks etc. Zoan is a just a far stronger extremis enemy that heavily favors ranged weapons with low TTK

From my opinion they need to now spawn at the same time as the one that is a boss, the combo is annoying as all Hell and make their shot NOT go trough obstacles. That would be enough. If you can loss them its fine but right now, you can't really do that, boss is the worst, having those waves come trough walls and you can't even see to dodge them.

why there are so many soyboys who suck even at videogames and create a lot of topics about it. play at easy mode if you cant handle higher difficulties, game is already easy.

I think somehow plasma pistol can't deal any damage to Zoanthrope, it maybe I bug but I am not sure.

Use those grenades that stick to the enemies, the piercing ones i think they are called, if you managed to put them in those pesky psyker bugs you should bring them down even in angel of death difficulty, that was what i did when soloing the story campaign. If you cant use those grenades for whatever reason you can bring them down with enough shoots to the head but keep in mind that they can tank most shots because of their psyker habilities, i dont know but i think they have like a force shield that gets depleted with every shot, thats why sticky grenades work better on them because they ignore the shield completely

Because, compared to your job, you don't need to be good at a game, you need to have FUN.

as i just said - play at easy mode if you cant handle it because of any of reasons. but if you know what youre bad at gaming - dont need to tell devs to make game even easier because you want it.

People can tell the devs whatever they want, even if its think you don't like.

if they are dumb idiots who cant even understand stupidity and nonsense of their thoughts - yea sure, they can. instead of thinking and understanding what they are just weak players(and it is nothing wrong in it) and for them game has easy difficulty to let them have fun they want.
