Re: Tau need a lot of Changes
Is it really that difficult to actually log into the game ant test? Why are you arguing balance if you're not playing it? No, fire caste does not start fires or give troop value through manta boardings. As for reducing Tau launchbay count - I can only see it along with a massive point cost drop, and...

Re: Tau need a lot of Changes
tau have more use for detection ability's but that doesnt mean they need more, chaos also doesnt have blindfire skills and kiting needs as much of an eye on what you are kiting as kited needs to spot the kiter, really has no difference more detection would make homing torps just annoying also tau d...

Re: Tau need a lot of Changes
The Manta's don't get an extra hit point despite being heavily armed, armoured and shielded and being twice the size of a thunderhawk. Nerfing the XV-46 upgrade is to stop the ridiculousness of what the Custodian is capable of. If all those Mantas make it through and very likely quite a few will, t...

Re: Opinion on the state of balance and the game.
SM suck mostly b/c of their massive weakness to ordnance imo (Low hp outside of battlebarges and the only defensive fighters are from a rather weak skill). Overall I think Chaos > IN = Tau > Eldar = Orks > SM. Eldar, Orks and SM have pretty serious gaps in their toolset and are more or less one tric...

Re: Tau armor and outflanking
Tau are not strong at long range as their tooltip suggests either though. They're actually doing their best at 6k range. They also can't really kite so "weak at close range" design won't work for them unless they can deal enough damage to blow up ships on approach.

Re: Tau - any weaknesses?
Meh, Chaos is the easiest faction to fight Tau with imo (and the most versatile faction overall cause it can do a bit of everything). Long range lance works, Tzeench is just the icing on the cake. Tau have really crappy dps past 9k range if you shut down their ordnance (with your own). You can also ...

Re: Tau - any weaknesses?
Poor detection, speed (if not air caste), all weapons need LoS (see poor detection), non ordnance weapons only really effective at 6k range with no upgrades to improve this. The two factions I feel Tau are OP against are SM and Eldar, but it feels like the problem is with these two factions either b...

Re: Shield nerf makes the upgrade, and Cruisers, useless now
I don't think energy shields ever affected missiles in the first place. The energy shield nerf just made mantas not benefit from it (which I don't feel was necessary tbh, as it replaces the very powerful cooldown launchbay upgrade. Eldar squadrons are actually more resilient now with their free dodg...

Re: Eldar suggestions
After playing bit of Eldar after the nerfs, pulsar feel like low burst enough tbh, even lower damage and cd would make them impractical and at this point you can probably make them into actual lances with 90 degree arc rather than an aimed ability. Also, please make Slaanesh active not disable the w...
