BAL is the most over powered ability in game.
Are you kidding?
Witchbrew is totally OP... BAL sucks.. We need to buff it more and nerf WE.
Just look at these numbers:
(Single Stack Witchbrew vs Single Stack BAL)
“The Witch Hunter Crisis Escalates: Destruction Frontline Morale in Freefall”
Praag — What began as isolated complaints from frontline Marauders has now spiraled into a full-scale psychological catastrophe across Destruction warbands following the widespread deployment of Witch Hunters utilizing the controversial ability known only as "Burn Away Lies".
Military officials from multiple Chaos-aligned factions are describing the situation as “completely unsustainable.”
Reports first emerged shortly after organized warbands encountered coordinated Witch Hunter detachments operating near keeps and battlefield objectives throughout the realms.
Survivors describe scenes of absolute devastation.
“One second I was winning the duel,” said one shaken Chosen while chain-smoking near a supply wagon outside Chaos Wastes.
“The next second some man in a hat pressed BAL and my health bar entered the Realm of Chaos.”
According to battlefield analysts, the ability’s impact extends far beyond conventional combat mechanics.
“This is no longer physical warfare,” stated one exhausted Magus tactician.
“This is emotional warfare.”
Medical encampments across the Eightpoints have reported a dramatic increase in symptoms among Destruction troops, including:
* Sudden distrust of hats
* Panic-cleansing nonexistent debuffs
* Violent reactions to pistol noises
* Marauders asking tanks for guard “just in case”
* Entire melee trains collapsing after hearing the words: “Repent.”
One Goblin Shaman, visibly trembling after six consecutive city sieges, gave a brief statement before staring silently into a campfire for several minutes.
“I used to fear Bright Wizards.”
“…now every coat has a gun under it.”
The Varanspire Department of Tactical Balance has reportedly launched an emergency investigation into allegations that "Burn Away Lies" may currently include several undocumented secondary effects, including:
* Spiritual armor penetration
* Passive morale annihilation
* Direct damage to player confidence
* Increased healer blood pressure
* The ability to crit directly into voice communications
Several Black Orc commanders have publicly questioned whether the skill was balanced using “real numbers” or “whatever was left in the cauldron after lunch.”
One furious Choppa was reportedly heard screaming during a keep defense: “HOW DOES A MAN WITH A HAT HIT HARDER THAN A BLOODTHIRSTER?”
Destruction guilds have already begun implementing emergency protocols in response to escalating Witch Hunter activity, including:
* Mandatory anti-BAL support groups
* Rotating emotional support DoKs
* Preemptive detaunt drills
* Banning the phrase “just kite him”
* Immediate execution of anyone saying: “It’s mirrored, bro.”
Meanwhile, Order leadership appears entirely unconcerned.
One Witch Hunter interviewed while casually reloading outside a captured fortress offered only a short statement: “Sigmar judges.”
Witnesses report three nearby Marauders disconnected immediately afterward.
As of publication, Destruction representatives are petitioning for urgent battlefield reforms, including:
* Reduced exposure to righteousness
* BAL requiring written consent before activation
* A mandatory 5-second warning before Witch Hunters crit
* Government-funded trauma recovery for melee DPS
The situation remains dire.
Military scholars now warn that if current conditions persist, Destruction warbands may soon abandon organized combat entirely in favor of “hiding behind terrain and pretending Witch Hunters aren’t real.”
At press time, another Choppa was reportedly heard yelling: “WITCHBREW IS FINE, YOU COWARDS.”
