The new Enemy - Opinion

[Brother Bastian]

In my Opinion is the new Chaoswarrior with Shield kinda weak, i hoped for it like he would be an Miniboss or is more Durable, whats your Opinion ?

They're not horribly aggravating like darktide's bulwarks are (were?), so they're fine enough to me.

Yes, I also found them weak even though I didn't focus on the weak point, with a few hits they went down, same for the necromancer, she had no problems, on characters without heavy weapons it's harder to knock them down, essentially they are a penalty only for a few. I don't know how they behave in cataclysm because I haven't tried there yet. In my opinion, they are good when they are in number to annoy and slow down the group, maybe they should increase their hit points.

Terraria paladin vibes.

The Rotshields are only there to mess with Footknights. They won't fall over if you charge them.

They're a nice solution to the DPS powercreep the game has been drip feeding us. We need more effective "roadblock" type enemies, honestly.

New enemy is welcomed addition even if it's somewhat clunky. New map is always nice to have as well, yet, it's not a good one nor well made imo. Sure, it's free and all, but it just has overall rushed and unfinished touch in it. I'd rather pay for good, well thought and finished content.

What I fear is that if they keep changing balance of the game with the same touch we'll end up with worse version of Vermintide 2. Wouldn't be the first time in game development, if that happens. End of the cycle ruined by few devs without love for the original idea of the game.

Overall it seems that we're getting lack of quality with the latest updates & content.

They actually have more hp and mass than chaos warriors. They also give 35 thp on kill (compared to chaos warrior's 30).

Good to know this, that they have actual more hp as the usual ones. I felt in my first encointer with them as an ironbreaker they had the Same hp.

Dwarven Great Hammer and Warrior Priest Reckoner leaves Rot Shield Ragdoll-breakdancing after a few hits.

Does seem to have less HP than vanilla Chaos Warriors, but the shield knock-back is a nice touch, had one wipe the Waystalker and Pyro because they were too close to a cliff edge.

Bots/players are easily pushed over edges by shielded warriors, forcing positioning awareness. I don't encounter them very often though, and they don't seem to be affected by/apply Chamon buff in Weaves.

lmao they nerfed footknight. lmao just lmao. the class wasnt bad but it was hardly the best when compared to merc and gk

They take less hit with the greathammer to kill than a regular CW once the shield is out of the way. Like, 3 vs 5-6 hits.

On a side note, cant trollhammer then head-on when the shield is up so it's a cool change.
