And as a class with 180ish base ini and 0 ini from Conq gear stacking ini to 300 is done how? 6 x 20/22 ini talismans.
So that's zero armour/toughness/wounds talis in a meta where they offer far and away the best value for an effective defense, and no str/ini/bs talis so your dps will be laughable.
Oh and only applies to one side in a 2 sided game. Excellent!
All this to counter one over performing tactic on one single class. If only there were a more sensible way of balancing this...
Yeah, that was pretty much the point I was trying to make.

Ponder, can multiple WS stack (from multiple SW)? (Not sure myself)[/spoiler]
Yes it can (the more SWs with WS the lower you can get someones Ini - at least last time i checked which was a while ago ; if someone has the time they can re-check)

should I use Str or Bal talismans on my SW?

definitely ballistic as it affects two stats (asw str and ballistic) simultaneously while in assault.

If you’re honestly going the assault path, I would think you’d want BS talis to 800-900 BS-str then armor to a predetermined point, then dump rest into WS, no? That was how I ran my SW back in the day...

Haven't really tested; others might know better. I have full WS with maybe 2-3 armor talis but I could see the benefit in going bal tali instead to increase bal/str.

Means while he hasn't any active role currently, he is still treated as staff for the purpose of personal attack and such. Contributions are not forgotten by the team.
if memory serves.
