being a dedicated healer isn't something that would work too well in a game of 'hordes of rats and irate football players are trying to kill you'

Statutory Ape posted:does this game or the sequel have any healer types As Kerillian's class skills preview shows, the Handmaiden gets a skill to recover people's stamina and bring them back from a downed without interruptions. One might suppose other characters might have support skills. You can equip a trinket in 1 that heals people around you when you heal yourself, I guess?

I suppose caving a rat's head in with a hammer does cause a concussion of sorts.

soon we will finally get to experience a brand new, untainted generation of players who silently run off on their own and blame everyone else when they die

As someone who hasn't played Vermintide 1, can someone tell me what 2 will improve, add or change or if there will be any PvP mode like left4dead. I heard mixed things about the first.

There's currently a beta with a non disclosure thing going on so info is sporadic, but so far impressions are very solid. It appears to be an improvement on the first game but I don't really have any more specifics aside from various previews elsewhere can tell you. The VT2 website is a decent thing to look at for information. Mechanically, it looks fairly similar, tho what I've heard is that they've more or less refined what was already working. There's some new abilities that characters can use off cooldown, like shade kerillian being able to go invis and nocollide and walk behind rats and lop their heads off. I think they've also shifted traits off of weapons and into a character building sort of system. Didn't look that complex at a glance, but still looked interesting and hopefully will make things easier to get into since access to certain good perks is no longer dependent on the whim of the rng. Aside from that, uh, there's more standard enemies, the most obvious being the Chaos nurgle boys but there's also new rats including the mythical rats with shields. More boss types foes other than the rat ogre. Promises of mod support, maybe a less hosed back end codewise but who knows. The biggest turnoff for most people afaik in VT1 was the loot system (either that it existed at all, or that it wasn't grindy enough ala payday 2) on but I haven't heard much of anything about how thats changed, other than assuming they revamped it since the devs felt it was a weakness of the first game. They've said no PvP mode, though. Which is bad, but alas.

The only true way to heal in this game is by cranking your ratman murderlust up so high that none of them ever touch you.

Shields are for control. Power attacking with the shield will not damage many rats, but will stagger an infinite number of rats, and your shove becomes a shield bash which knocks enemies on their rear end, and will even stagger Stormvermin. If you get Devastating Blow on your shield your shove becomes a unique tier-4 shove that no other weapon can achieve (all other weapons get a tier-3 shove with devastating blow). Shoving at that level staggers rats for tons of time, clears tons of space, and can even cancel a stormvermin's giant overhead cleave. Basically shields let you keep everyrat locked down while your allies turn them into chunky salsa. Shields can also block gunner bullets which is fun sometimes.
