Frustration with playing Ogryn is growing

Hahah, you are welcome, internet sure was a mistake for the most parts :b
Yeah, shooty men are bonkers, I think it is a mix of them being able to line up and shoot with high precision that really pushes them over the edge. Especially bc their LoS readings are REALLY good, resulting in getting shot thru two cracks at 100m distance. It is simply too oppressive for non-Call of Duty man (Vets).

My playgroup and I have come to the same conclusion, Ogryn is truly the big brian role, which could be seen as a “failure of class fantasy”, but I prefer to have more fun and engaging gameplay over “he is supposed to play simple, bc he is simple”.
And while there is a lot of meta to the Ogryn I do feel the feats and weapons are quite limiting in what is viable, rn I think Stubber, Rumbler, Cleaver and Shield feel like the only real viable options for him and that are the only to bring him up to be able to manage level 4+ difficulty.
Especially bc to my knowledge and understanding of the game, the Gauntlet is bugged and doesn’t deal the right explosion damage. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/ogryn-gauntlet-splash-aoe-not-working-as-intended/68343
Usually, I also feel like I end up lacking some damage in general, not that I’m the main damage dealer, but it does make me ask “why bother with Ogryn, when the best CC is killing enemies” ofc the answer is bc “he is fun”, just wished there were a little more “oomph” to his role.
