An hour ago, in preparation for next update, I had a quick match of Havoc 40 on EU server for the sake of testing, and the results were exactly as expected: Ogryn still been the most powerful and brainless class in this game.
If on even simpler and boring Auric difficulty, I’ve even managed to deal more than twice as much damage as all other teammates combined, it’s just pure fun to watch those little guys struggle helplessly.
Anyone who can pressing the F and the left click can easily and overwhelmingly take first place on Scoreboard. As an Ogryn main, I have countless records to prove it.
Right now, the only thing that requires Ogryn players to use even a bit of their braincell is finding the tiny ammo in the tiny boxes across the map. But the new tanlent “Found Some More” perfectly solved that problem. Not to mention that tankiest class just got even more survivability with those extra talent points.
Can’t wait to see what other buffs Ogryn will get next. I’ll happily keep abusing his power, after all, I’m not in charge of balancing the game, I’m just here to enjoy it.
no taunt either
basically nothing that would make me rely or have others rely on what im bringing, just pure self sustainability and everyone minding his business minus the odd net or dog.
so far it works pretty well for havoc 40.
rumbler solely for boss debuffs and a speedy karsolas, bullrush to get in and out where i want to be when i want to be
Maybe for you, but I enjoy watching these pathetic little guys crave my protection, knowing that when I no longer want them to live, I can simply stop using taunt and take complete control over their lives.
And Bullrush makes the game just way too easy, it’s basically just pressing F to escape any challenge. You can charge dozens of meters ahead, gaining damage buff and/or bleeding heretics (btw. you get both of them after update, lmao), restoring all toughness and knocking over anything in your path, even including the boss. Just like Gunlugger, it’s a pure abuse of the game mechanics.
Sometimes I want to take a complete break, I’ll use it.
Hey, I’ve got many actual scoreboard screenshots to back up my point. I’ve even shown on the forum before, in the first few days of every new Havoc season, I get back to Assignment Rank 40 by using Ogryn, while a lot of people on the forum barely manage to reach 40 once in an entire season.
I’m honestly sharing and mocking just how ridiculous the game’s balance is right now, and I’m really enjoying it.
Just enjoy it while you can, people from playtester circles will get this build nerfed, almost guaranteed. My only problem with PBB Ogryn is explosive weapons where they constantly blind teammates with explosions and smoke. Stubber or any other weapon is good in my book.
I know Chinese community wanted to troll western people by asking Fatshark to buff this build, but it’s such a stupid idea. By asking for buffs while giving unsincere/deliberately fake feedback, you just hurt honest people who wanted to enjoy every type of Ogryn build in the end.
I’m surprised you could come to that conclusion from any angle, this is literally the most overpowered and ridiculous ability in the entire game, and, by the f*cking emperor, Fatshark actually even buffed it more in the last patch by reduce the cooldown by 20 seconds, and has now buffed Ogryn’s ammo yet again. Like lmao.
I’ve given up on expecting Fatshark to balance it properly, so I’ve decided to just abuse it and enjoy it. And I’ll bet you that Fatshark won’t be able to fix this problem anytime soon.
I just heard a rumor that Chinese community gave Fatshark wrong feedback willingly so that this PBB build gets buffed, only to mess with western players.
To be completely honest with you, as someone who regularly uses the chinese Darktide community, I’ve never heard of this rumor at all, because PBB is a very unpopular build on the HK server, you can try applying for it yourself.
Let’s assume that if someone actually managed to bait Fatshark to buff PBB, it would further erode my trust in Fatshark, since they clearly don’t conduct any proper testing themselves. Just pick up any explosive weapon, get nto Auric, play for 5 minutes, you’ll realize just how ridiculous it is.
Actually, I don’t even need damn PBB to deal absurd amounts of damage, the Ogryn’s firepower and survivability have long surpassed normal classes. This is what I did with Taunt:
low key right though the damage reduction dodge, gunlugger with anything except maybe the sniper stubber, pulsing taunt and the turbo buffed stagger duration on dash (which will now get bleed and +50% damage for 10 seconds, because sure) are crazy. but its also a game made of powerful characters cooperating and the large man not being a powerhouse should definitely not be the design identity. especially with how freely they give out stagger to everyone else, especially that puny sparkhead. its a bit much though at the minute, all ogryn loadouts are feasting like dingos in a maternity ward. everyone could get nerfs but the ogryn is way too tanky at the minute, you can tank overheads for like 50 damage after dodge…and then run feel no pain. you literally get sloppy now because why not, you can use bursters for move tech with no HP damage.
Well, I’m not the person who complains about the cooperative aspect in a COOP GAME.
I’m just using the kind of laughable boastful tone (that some people have always used) to say: Nah, I like to use taunts to protect my teammates.
The current problem is Ogryn can easily become the strongest damage dealer in either melee or ranged combat without requiring any actually skill. A large part of it comes from his absurdly high tankiness.
For the sake of game balance, not lore, but game balance, he also shouldn’t have both the highest damage and the highest tankiness at the same time.
What I’ve always found funny is that, after a lot of players complained that Ogryn was easily controlled by specialists because of his large size, what did Fatshark decide to do? Give you a 50% damage reduction when you doge! Like, this doesn’t solve anything about specialists, just made the class even more broken.
glad that fs keeps buffing ogryn all the time. one day we will be able to see mighty ogryn clearing all enemies in one shot. what about the other 3 teammates? meh they r nothin but servitors who shine his shoes for him
