Playing as Bulwark sucks now

[Legionnaire Descendance]

Is it me or is he useless after the update, The Shield isn't blocking any of the attacks even ranged attacks..

[BuBBleMaN95]

bro its you ive never had more fun with bulwark ... attacks are more powerful you swing harder after a sprint so you knock back smaller enemy's and the shield works fine for me

[Mister Cebion]

agreed bullwark is fine as it is. More plasma Muni would be nice tho lol Or let throw my shield at this pesky lil flying units ....

Only thing Bulwark is useless agains

they changed fencing. You have a smaller parry window now, and you can't parry from behind, (you need to turn first). He is still good, but not god-tier.

in every game your gonna have enemys you cant fight and enemys you can bulwark is melee focust so you need to let other squad mates fight the ones you cant ..... teamwork makes the dream work brothers

U dont. I parry perfectly fine attacks outside my fov

several key rebinds just AREN'T working at the moment, especially anything rebound to Q, even if they were already working on that key before the patch, so if you've rebound your block/parry, that might explain it.

Parrying is not the Issue, how easily stunned you get after blocking too many attacks and how ranged attacks, even, sometimes get through your shield with their shots even if you block in their direction.

Now you have to aim at them in order to block them, before you just had to block at their direction..

And the damage from the sword only does dirt if I have two team-players ganging on Chaos Marines and it doesn't kill them with ease regardless of that.

i like bulwark. issues i have are
1) bulwark is there only for healing banner
2) melee feels weak compared to ranged (lethal, relic weapons: 3 hits to kill minoris, 15 hits to kill Warrior, no melee flinch/striking limbs off meaning half of your attack combos get interrupted by enemy attacks and you just parry parry parry)
3) shield is NOT for allies, just for you, which is kinda annoying. no taunt -> enemies are on your allies and you cant really help it, and allies cant fire effectively behind the shield either -> shots hit the shield, and enemies fire projectiles that auto aim allies and arc over you despite you being shield up there, hitting your allies behind you.

You can kinda taunt by shooting majoris/minoris.

Nah. I get everyone is trying to be positive about this. But call a thing a thing. It sucks after the updates. They just need to stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with parry windows and let us play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. And shame on you ALL for trying to gaslight/bully someone out of genuine criticism for an otherwise great game. Don’t ♥♥♥♥ ride. Help to improve EVERYONES experience, stop trying to put everybody into a git gud scenario and help us improve the game trough feed back. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Clowns

parry is working correctly. people simply have crutched on fencing weapon parry window spam for so long that the devs correcting it in an update 2 months ago shook peoples confidence.

people should be learning the correct parry timings instead of spamming the button hoping for it to land.
