Gridlocked posted:My friend suggested a White Lion as an extra class but I pointed it out would be the same as Kruber just basically a re-skin; though you could go for the "reach" melee character with only-two handed weapons with Spears and Halberds. I figure if they added a high elf of any kind it'd be a wizard of some sort, since high magic is pretty much the high elf thing. Speaking of, the current elf is supposed to be a wood elf, isn't she? I'd imagine a high elf would sound less Irish and more posh. poo poo, I wonder if they'll add a Halfling chef? The hats can be different cookware and he can wield a cleaver or a big gently caress-off sausage, and use a crossbow.

If they're going to add a High Elf smart money is on Sea Guard Captain or somesuch, given their dedication to characters who are adept both in melee and at range. I mean that's why we got a Dwarven Ranger instead of the more iconic Slayer.

Yeah, I know all about the wood elves; I remember reading about how they'll gently caress with people and have them wander in their magic forest for years for poo poo and giggles. Then, when they finally let the poor bastard leave, he instantly ages and dies. Really, Warhammer elves are the best elves in general.

Probably some kind of journeyman or apprentice high elf wizard, then; I know high mages need to master all the winds of magic to actually get to practice Saphery. I just know the high elves have the best magic so it'd make some sense to have some sort of magical elf, or a Swordmaster of Hoeth or something. Though I think since it's a videogame them making the High Mage a bit weaker than normal would make some sense, so long as you got to shoot fuckin' rainbow bolts.

Spears/halberds could also be introduced. Make spears the two-hand version of the rapier and I'd be in love, even if it meant playing a Sea Guard. (which is why Kruber should get a halberd that's the same but with better slashing attacks)

Oh, high elves can also be exceedingly assholish, especially to dwarves. Just look at how the war of the beard got started: The high elves, until then steadfast allies with the dwarves, had just fallen into the civil war with the faction that would eventually become the dark elves. Those proto-dark elves send out a few raiders to the mainland to attack some traders and generally start some poo poo. The dwarves then sent out a diplomatic mission the the high elves, basically asking "hey man what the gently caress why are there elves killing our traders?" So, what does the high elven phoenix king do in response? Instead of just telling them there's a civil war on, or maybe making up a simple lie about rogue raiders who'll be prosecuted, he has the ambassador arrested, shaves his beard, and bans him from elf-island forever. Which is basically one of the most severe insults you can level at a dwarf. Unsurprisingly, this killed dwarf/high-elf relations pretty much forever. Elves: not even once.

(which is why Kruber should get a halberd that's the same but with better slashing attacks) Polearm weapons are basically the last frontier of melee weapon types that aren't covered by existing classes, so a seaguard would be a cool addition. I guess dual heavy melee weapons such as dual axes and hammers aren't covered either yet, so that's a pretty natural slayer fit.

Wood elves are massive dicks. High elves are snooty and imperious but actually mostly want to help humanity against chaos rather than gently caress with them. They save all their loving with for the dwarves. I just want a high elf character for the inevitable war of the beard/grudge of drong references. I agree a seaguard, shadow warrior or reaver knight would work well for the mix of ranged and melee weapons. Spear and Shield, Sword and Shield, double handed spear and single hand sword with bow selections. I'd be equally happy with Bretonnian Knight, Dark Elf Corsair, Saurus Warrior (or Skink Blowgunner) or Halfling Cook.

Man, I just saved a near-wipe of a run. Horn of Magnus, group gets to the roofs just before the tower when things go a bit pear shaped. Suddenly I find myself alone against a bunch of rats, just in time for a patrol of 8 Storm Vermin to aggro on me before I can hide. What followed was a flurry of backpedaling while I fire my handgun into the chasing rats. Thanks to the fact my gun has a 90%+ penetration chance, the first shot killed 3 storm vermin. Next shot takes out 2 more. Unfortunately clanrats kept fouling successive shots, and I'm forced to back pedal all the way from that collapsed brick wall room to the room containing the last tome before I finally kill all the patrol and the rest of the clanrats. The run back to revive one of my team mates in the brick wall room was constant  as I expected a pack-rat to pop out of the air and snatch me at any moment.RE: War of the beard. The version I remember is that the Dwarves confront the King and ask for compensation/weregild for the Dwarves killed and trade good stolen. The Phoenix King, being one of the worst assholes among Phoenix Kings, tells them to gently caress off, he's busy. The Dwarves then get (rightfully) pissy and demand double the original amount they were asking for. Phoenix King gets even more pissy and proceeds to shave the envoy and send him back to the Mainland (alive). Queue devestating war that reduces both Elves and Dwarves to a shadow of their former power/majesty. Also, the Book of Grudges is a  , if rather tragic, artifact. Its a book possessed by the Dwarven High-King where they record all major/important wrongs done to the Dwarven Race. Only the High-Kings may write grudges in it, and they use their blood to do so. These grudges will never be forgotten and it is a rare and celebrated event when a grudge is settled and crossed out. As you can imagine, many more grudges are entered into the book than are settled.Some say the use of the blood of the High Kings has turned the Book of Grudges into a magical artifact that influences the future and prosperity of the Dwarves. The more entries are made in it, the more Dwarven power/influence/fortune weakens in the world. Unless the Dwarves learn to let go of their stubbornness (and the Dwarven language supposedly has no word for "Forgive", but many subtle variations for words like Revenge) they are doomed to be buried by their grudges.

 Doin' some work! That took like 20 mins. Including a final stand where I killed half a horde alone, revived the Dwarf then went with him to res the Elf (lol) and Other Human Guy; AND took out 2 Gutter Runners solo in doing so. It was normal and we only ever had like 3 Stormvermin thank gently caress.

BioTech posted:I got a Grudgeraker with 80+% penetration and 30% chance for ammo on a kill. Does the penetration work per pellet or as a whole? Because it sounds like I'll never run out of ammo and hit a ton of Skaven per shot, which is cool. Turned out very disappointing. I figured two shots with extra penetration would go through packs, but it doesn't even kill slaves. A volley does make it possible to wade in with the hammer + shield after and kill them with just one blow, which is pretty great, but not sure if I should give up sniping specials for that.

Being able to OHKO stormvermin, or any other jerk special is by far and above the better choice over being able to kill clan and slaverats faster.

They're going to continue to stick a limited number of fingers into an endless number of leaky holes until they address the root cause of this behavior. If their playerbase perceives running the quickest missions with the easiest exploits as the 'best' way to be rewarded, they will do so. And yes, this type of behavior is loving retarded, but it's also unfortunately extremely widespread.
