by the emperor what is going on?
HI! I love the new class. I have Tech-priest with constructs as main. And found that class fun to play, but was missing some more involvement on my part. I liked very much how you could focus on beeing a Construct specialist, and that you could make construct focus on what they are best at (range, meele or a mix). And you could finetune from the construct items.
Hearing about Hierophant with RM "team" mechanic had me sold.
Now that I am playing it and gotten to endgame I see some problems however. From all the passive tree options, perks and attributes the only build that really works are a true meele build. I tried lot of stuff to go for a ranged or preferable a hybrid (Battle Sister and Crusader as meele, assasin as sniper and Psyker as ranged mage/debuffer or any other combo). But only meele build works. This needs changes. It would be much bertter it all the perks did not not focus on only melee or ranged, but rather leave that choice up to what gear you use on them. Added damage should be just that to the RM's, not for meele or ranged. It is not that you canæt go for ranged, but you have to choose between meele or ranged and then end up forced to focusing. And overall meele is best. That removes a huge part of the fun with RM's and the ability to change them up to make it more fun and interesting.
Also, since meele is overall best and you must focus that, you also have to pick the Paty efficiency perk to add the much needed damage/gp and dam reduction. And then you sacrifize the psyker who had least as a meele RM. That makes Psyker irrelevant for endgame (would say 80+.). This is a weird and bad choice for a perk.
Maybe someone else has found some way to make this work, but I have really tried to analyze all the options for a hybrid RM playstyle, and can't see how it can work.
Please look into this! Love the work you put in. Just some tweaking and and balancing now and will be so much better.
Someone on our Discord mentioned something similar, and they were able to force the update from their game manager. Maybe you could give that a go as well if it still didn't show for you?
