Ogryn has weak melee

guide to loadout and talents

finally got an updated version of my guide done (hate talking to the monitor like a doofus :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:)

in essence this here is my ogryn spec that gets me through havoc as well :+1:

I actually made a build I tested where I focus entirely on the shields light attacks for most engagements (obviously switching to heavies/push bonks against armored targets), and it absolutely crushed everything. The light attacks actually do two horizontals into two diagonals, which is fantastic for horde clear. It’s main ā€˜issue’ was always the fact the shield didn’t really have a cleave based talent, but with Heavy Hitter giving Savage Sweep levels of cleave, it actually just demolishes everything now.

Wish I saved the recording of it, might do another game or a few if it’s asked of me to ā€˜show me’, but this is the build in case people wanna try it for themselves:

Went and grabbed a clip, feel it shows it off pretty well. Even got clipped a few times and still took barely any health damage so felt good, my push attacks where being a little annoying and not going off but I got the pushes themselves at least so ā€˜felt nice’ holding off the back half of the wave here while the rest of the team stayed in front. (also dang, steam links don’t embed, whatever can look at it if one wants XD).

Yeah, I deliberately made it a short clip so Steam could host it, but they only host said small videos for two days. Didn’t think anyone would care past that point, but as people seem to/you asked about it I made it an unlisted video.

I edited the original post so that it’s there in all it’s ā€˜I’m still reminding myself how to use the shield but it’s still a good showcase’ glory.

Yes.

And one of them has a shotgun attached, and the other one a grenade launcher.

Yeah I like the increased impact for light attacks making it safer horde clear than the karsolas pickaxe.
