Actual data on why the ogryn rework is a BIG buff

Made this its own thread but it’s actual data and belongs here

Light em up Gunlugger change is mostly a buff

You get 4 stacks per shot now. It used to be 2 capping at 32, now you get 4 stacks per shot stacking at 16. Where do these 32 stacks actually matter? Let’s investigate. Tested with a flak+maniac achlys stubber, the weapon that most benefits from fire stacks due to a high firerate and low impact damage per bullet: Elites and regular enemies: Maulers die to 12 stacks. Both Gunners die to 8 stacks. Both Bruisers die to 6 stacks. Poxwalkers, shooters and groaners die before the stacks really mat…

I think people mostly overreact to the light em up rebalance because they liked how achlys twin stubber could melt bosses. We lose a gimmick that prevents every other weapon from ever being good, and instead we gain every other weapon getting better. It’s a good change I think
