Return of Reckoning

Idea: "Wild Leap"
Incapacitate (Slayer):
Current Ability: Knocks down a selected enemy.
New AoE Version ("Wild Leap"): The Slayer performs a powerful leap in a furious motion. While airborne, he extends his arms, swinging his weapon in a wide arc and striking all enemies in a designated area around him. Upon landing, the Slayer stuns all captured enemies during the leap.
In this version, the Slayer's ability has been transformed into a "Wild Leap," where he harnesses the force of a jump to draw enemies to a central point, stunning them upon impact for 3 seconds and dealing 216 damage. This jumping mechanic adds a movement dynamic to the Slayer, allowing him to cover distances quickly while effectively controlling the area around him.
Radius: 30 feet included the selected enemy
Must be Furious


Idea: "Cruel Sweep"
Sit Down! (Choppa):
Current Ability: Knocks down a selected enemy.
New AoE Version ("Cruel Sweep"): The Choppa delivers a powerful horizontal strike with his axes, executing a wide sweep. All enemies in a circular area in front of him are hit by the axes, getting knocked down for 3 seconds and dealing 216 damage and and reducing their armor by 900 for a brief moment.
In this version, the Choppa's ability has been transformed into a "Cruel Sweep," where the orc warrior utilizes the width of his two-handed axes to perform a broad and unbalancing strike. This mechanic adds a strategic element to the Choppa, encouraging the player to position themselves appropriately to maximize the impact of the ability.

If a slayer extends his arms that would grab everyone in an 2ft radius- i like it

You have been playing to much vermintide

You forgot the part where every time you use this you automatically write in chat "Delete marauders!"

On a more serious note - its typical OP skill, no ty.

Slayer/Choppa leap long overdue!
You are not the first to propose this, not the last. Leap ftw!

On a serious note - even tho i'd love to see some more proactive, dynamic, chaotic action&movement tools in regards to balance there was never ever a proper discussion around that. I believe that with 10 sec immunity + charge on a classes that have such mechanic, are fearsome and killing stuff its way too OP to just simply add what you propose. Need sacrifices, need balancing and such overhauls cant be done in absolute vacuum of looking into slayer/choppa only. Idea of bringing more movement and tools for them cant be discussed without taking into account: a) all other classes design and balance b) combat mechanic general design c) group compositions and synergies d) pug, roam, 1v1vX, 24v24, SCs, orvr, 6v6 etc metas and how exactly are they being shafted

Adding anything new to the existing Slayer arsenal is kind of crazy. This is how the class requires only NERF.
Besides, I like the idea itself but something similar could get BO and not DD classes.
Since CC and utility are tanks and healers not DD.

Dear Albert, you probably forgot about wls and whs.
