Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Sister of the Thorn Review (Tres)
Was the class originally too strong when compared to some other classes in the game?
Yes.
Where changes needed?
Absolutely.
Are the changes that have been made good?
Fuck no!
The career skill of "building a wall" that blocks your own teams attacks is still as stupid as it was before. The "support" aspect doesnt reflect much in the actual skills and is mainly to be found on the staff weapon (and arguably in the "increased damage taken" debuff she can now apply).
The biggest issue now is that the class is simply not fun to play!
Nobody asked for a mage option for Kerillian. Nobody wanted a "support focused" class in a game where everyone is DPS.
It could have been a Wardancer, maybe melee only since Fatshark seems to love those, and could have gotten a unique set of weapons like Warrior Priest. But I guess releasing a broken class for the character that the community already hates for no proper reason, then leaving it in this state for way too long and changing it to simply be unfun... Yeah that works too.
I am not mad that SoT is no longer dominating everything by simply existing, that wasnt healthy for the game at all.
I am just disappointed that what we ended up with is bad and unfun... And you have to pay for it.
