Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Sister of the Thorn Review (Roter Mann)
Edit, original review below:
They did it! They nerfed her. Sister of the Thorn is no longer a brain dead career that eliminates most challenge from the game. She is now more in-line with existing classes - AND she provides what she was originally advertised as providing, support! Bleeds, crowd control, and weakening the enemies for her teammates.
My review will remain negative however. The weapons are still vastly over tuned, specifically the Briar javelin. With the nerfs to the other overpowered elf weapon from the Forgotten Relics pack, the Moonfire bow, expect every elf you encounter to be running the javelin. You don't even have to see it in her hands to know - you'll know it's being used when the elf throws it through your back and chunks you for a sixth of your HP trying to snipe elites you already have control of.
I'm not salty, I swear.
Original review:
Pros:
• Super fun to play
• A few different fun build setups
• Very powerful skills - can carry you through hard content
• Very powerful weapons - can carry you through hard content
Cons:
• Sucks the fun away from other players in lobby as you just delete potential threats
• Despite the fun of multiple builds - most of them boil down to purposely gimping yourself for flavour skills
• The shear damage your skills allow you to crap out trivialises a lot of content in the game
• The new weapons (specifically the javelin) are so powerful they invalidate every base game Kerillian ranged weapon.
• No disadvantage whatsoever for all this power (at least the first paid career, Grail Knight, can't use ranged)
If you don't care about other's enjoyment (or if the people you play with don't mind) or maintaining the balance of the game, I recommend this wholeheartedly. However, know that you will not experience the game the way it was meant to be.
Should this career ever get a balance pass to bring it inline with other careers, I will change my review to be positive.
