Feels like I’ve been hearing about that famous DPS patch for as long as the “imminent” release of Camelot Unchained!

Slayer was OP for a long while and now it is in bad condition.
Wl is OP for a long while atm but i hope it wont share same fate with slayer.
Killing classes wont bring balance to this game.

I am not saying rampage nerf wasn't justified or that slayer is bad now. I simply used example of how these threads will turn out eventually.Alubert wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 12:07 pmYou're giving the wrong example.Stinksuit wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 7:49 am
I feel like either provide useful comments what should be done to WL and give suggestions or stop making these posts, they won't lead into anything other than the usual back and forth of people saying "wl op" -> "destro players just cry so it gets nerfed like they did with rampage"..
Requests to change Rampage actually worked, and now we finally have a very well-balanced skill and class.

All I know is that if WL gets nerfed in next dps patch and godmode tank self heal disengage-if-not-interested WE escapes intact the popular ingame emote: "swears at the unfairness of it all" will be a joke compared to the real feeling of many players, and probably the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Melee (main DPS archetype) Order:
- White Lion
- Slayer
- Witch Hunter (no 24 target, zero cooldown, AOE base ability. Only 1 big AOE spender with high cooldown)
- melee SW (single target focus)
Melee able non DPS archtype Order:
- Warrior Priest
- Tanks with 2 hand (mediocre aoe dmg)
Melee (main DPS archetype) Destro:
- Choppa
- Marauder
- Melee Squigherder (aoe target focused)
- Witch Elf (no 24 target, zero cooldown, AOE base ability. Only 1 big AOE spender with high cooldown)
Melee able non DPS archtype Destro:
- Disciple of Khaine
- Tanks with 2 hand (mediocre aoe dmg)
Order has Slayer and WL as AoE heavy melee classes. Slayer was top tier and got nerfed. Melee dps players adapted and leveled up Lions.
Now Lion is top tier, not by WL buff but by Slayer nerf.
You complain about WL being top out of 2 options of Orders possible main AOE focused MELEE classes. WHAT IS YOUR POINT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
You Think they should turn SW Assault stance into the same AOE heavy monster Bruiser the SH is right now? Guess we had that already and it was reverted because it was viewed as to OP.
You can not force order to not play WL and stick to SL when WL is obviusly the last unclipped melee aoe option.
You hate to see so much WLs around? Then say thanks to the main destro player from the ballance team that wanted to get rid of Slayers having access to their natural AA dmg and the possibility to drop flurry 24 target taktic in favor of another taktic to slot.
Lucky for them that it affected Slayer more then Choppa, so you would not see a shift on destro side.

Totally disagree. The argument is false and dishonest. Seriously, drawing a parallel between the WL buff and the Slayer nerf… anyway, these kinds of discussions are pointless; I’ll leave them to others.Gunlinger wrote: Sat Nov 08, 2025 8:58 pmMelee (main DPS archetype) Order:

Its cyclic. At one time Squig Herders dominated Scenarios and most warbands. Things were everywhere, typically in numbers equal or greater then in the image you posted. Choppas were also king at one time, as were Slayers. This was interspaced with the great Shadow Warrior flux followed by the Multiple Magus Scourge. White Lions will have their day and then some other class will rise to power. So it goes.
