Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, people, back on topic (Again.)

Cut YM117 some slack, I seem to recall that he only knew of Dawn Of War when he came here, he's still learning (Quite quickly, I might add.). We're not the people who flame one another just for not knowing a unit exists or not, are we?

Anyway, is anyone else rejoicing that Berserkers where made less, er, swarming-capable, through the 1.5 patch?

So, the patch punished chaos players but does nothing about the wraith lord rushes, I am so happy...

That patch did alot that i didnt like, but it did some stuff that i like quite a bit...its a toss up

Eldar run out of power the slowest in my experience. A decent player will buy the power upgrade as SOON as the Soul Shrine is up; along with at least 3 or 4 gens because they can hoarde eco with only a few Reaper squads keeping the neemy in tier 1 massing and on their toes since Reapers with FoF are so fast.
Then as soon as the Support Portal is up you can get the second power which really will boost your economy. You should have enough to spam Wriathlords and webways till' you're blue. I don't specifically think that any unit in the Eldar army is overpowered at all.
I think that it's a fundamental problem in Fleet of Foot. Due to FoF you can take 2 Reaper squads and keep the enemy in their base massing while you tech and eco to hell if you are a skilled palyer. Alltgoether I've always thought that Eldar have been the best race in the game.
You can't nerf the units Eldar have access to early game because then you've got the n00bs who whine. And they can't nerf FoF directly just because it's more or less an impossible thing to balance.
They just need to decrease the bonus FoF gives. Reapers should NOT outrun scouts. Period.

And a scout with 'infiltrate' should not be able to go and sit in the middle of an Eldar unit, when the smell alone would alert the Eldar to their presence. Go figure.

ok first of all still even if it's not much armor it's still armor that is heavy and weighs you down, so it still should be slower. Also i admit that infiltration is a little unreal when the smell and sound of the humans "heavy feet and burdened souls", (fluff descritions).

Also i admit that they are probably the most athletic and graceful species probably but even they have admitted that the astrates are very dangerous enemies.

im not sure if your talking about the table top game or DoW, and i cant remember if reapers get fleet of foot in the first place, but i think they arent that good. While your there, keep on their toes with banshees, not reapers, most units in teir 1 are good at ranged, not many are good at melee, giving the banshee an advantage. Also, alot of AI's and players get heros at the begining because it gives them a huge advantage over starting infantry, a few reapers with not be able to stand up to a hero
