Re: A Guide for LW2 Players Moving from 1.2 to 1.3

Just ditch Shinobi if you are going 1.2 -> 1.3. Completely ditch sharpshooters now, too. Pointless. Just... Ignore them completely. Spam gunners instead of them, sharpshooters are even more worthless than before. Valaska, I'm sorry, but you really have no idea what you're talking about. I have a Sh...

Re: A Guide for LW2 Players Moving from 1.2 to 1.3

Erm, you mean sword shinobi's are INFINITELY weaker* As in, pointless now... Completely fricken pointless. Dodge reductions in multiple ways decreases their survivability and the complete crap on Reaper makes them worthless. Just ditch Shinobi if you are going 1.2 -> 1.3. Completely ditch sharpshoot...

Re: Boltcaster sucks a ding dong?

Eh, I've actually given my boltcaster to a Technical and they do very well with it usually. They have good aim which is augmented with the extra aim, and it hits HARD, its basically the marksman rifle people keep crowing on about LW2 needing so I don't get the flak its getting.

Re: Plasma vs Coil weapons

Plasma weapons are plenty appealing; if you want the best damage in the game then plasma is it. Coil is not it. If you want to invest in the best damage in the game vs utility/defensive items is up to you whether it's worth it or not. It's good that plasma isn't so obvious, otherwise what you're pr...

Re: Alternate nerf to Hail of Bullets

I honestly think the cool down is adequate as is, but I'd prefer it not competing with chain shot. I like to treat the gunner as a cooldown fighter, its why I bring Rangers instead of just 3+ gunners.

Re: Gatekeeper sneak attacks

Are gatekeepers supposed to be using area of effects attacks through walls while not being active? Or are they just supposed to raise zombies, and AOE damage is just coincidental? It looks like they are targeting corpses, just like sectoids, even those that can't be raised. In any case it's rather ...

This makes a lot of sense to me for the supply raids etc. They are always out in the open etc.

Re: Ranger builds

A ranger cannot kill 2 aliens per turn unless they stand out in the open for you to kill. In which case many classes can kill two aliens per turn. If they're not standing out in the open for you to kill then you're going to need to move (because you do not have BVR targeting and so cannot set up fl...
