Do you actually believe what you wrote? You mean the same farseers that come ml3 stock with an invuln and free wargear that blocks perils? The same farseers that come with more wounds than nearly every other non-unique psykers in the game, with access to the fastest bikes in the game? Yeah without divination and runes of fate combined, they're total garbage.

QTF!

I had to reread that post myself

Basically what was once reserved for Eldrad at 200+ points is now stock for all seers at 100.

To be fair, mechdar has the capability to demolish a lot of armies and not just bugs. It's not that bugs are weak. It's just that mechdar is too strong for all but the most optimized of armies to face.

I have watched/read a lot of batreps where the new tyranids have gotten quite comfortable wins against other armies. They seem to be quite a good hard counter against many builds. I'd gladly trade what Eldar I have for some Tyranids, much more interesting army than serpent/bike spam.

Bugs definitely are a more engaging army to play nowadays. If you want a challenge, if you want a thinking person's army, if you want to exercise your brain, then bugs may be the army for you.

Yeah, wow. I totally messed that statement up. I had meant that it has less unique abilities than most of the psykers in the game. Runepriests, daemons, inquisitors, nids, etc. all bring more army changing benefits than a farseer. Though truthfully Without prescience + guide the farseer would not be as good as a runepriest or two prescience inquisitors except within the confines of a jetseer council.
