I don't think I ever would have been so hyped to slap rats for Sigmar, but here I am slapping rats for Sigmar- and in a most glorious fashion. Making Saltzpyre into a Warrior Priest was probably the best thing Fatshark could have done for the character. It makes him seem less like a crazy, religious zealot and more like a religious zealot that blinds your eyes with holiness the more you play him since, as it turns out- Sigmar is real.
Genuinely, I don't think there's a bad thing I can say about the Warrior Priest aside from his lack of weapon variety. Which even then, is just hilarious to me. Saltzpyre basically left all his weapons at home, and instead, brings with him- the Empire's entire arsenal of hammers, which include:
hammer
2 hammer
hammer w/ shield
hammer imbued with the Sigmar bible (it makes things explode!)
BIG hammer
and the flail and shield (it's a little op, ngl)
Yes, these are all the weapons he can use.
However, he more than makes up for it otherwise. In fact, I don't think there's a career that can compare to the sheer variety and utility the Warrior Priest can offer to both himself and his team from an ability standpoint. I mean, when you can build to be more of a warrior or a priest, I would say that's excellent career design, so to add more to the list of things a Warrior Priest can do:
1. You hit harder when angry
2. You hit harder against Chaos Warriors and Beastmen flag bearers, because they suck
3. You're too holy to be cursed by anything
4. And you have a holy shield as a career skill that can be used on a dime, for either yourself or your teammates, that grants complete invincibility and then explodes afterwards because why not
I can't understate how decked out this career is, and rightfully so- Sigmar's glory won't claim itself. I very much encourage getting on the Sigmar grindset. Becoming a Warrior Priest of Sigmar (yes, that's the in-game title) and instilling that holy fear into rat society will be the best thing you ever do.
