is this a joke?

Grenade replenishment too much a vet gimmick to give it to all ogryn blitz

Stagger aura could be better used for tank tree but wouldn’t combine.

Like the lucky bullet def needs some rework, proc would need to dump stacks maybe reacquired on hit not kill.

heavy hitter could just use a loss of 5stack prerequisites.

Hard to find the line between fun improvements and power creeps but for ogryn left tree seems only viable atm.

Won’t even comment. I remember very well one motion, the tax node and the discussion asking Fatshark to JUST not do that.
You ask changes? they have already written the changes and don’t care of what you think.

It may sound harsh, but that’s what will happen. They won’t even consider the changes.
And sincerely I would love to be wrong.

I tried playing Ogryn recently, one of the greatest issues is the melee.
Attack speed is low, and damage output is low.
The stagger is high, but knocking enemies to the ground isn’t actually that helpful and becomes quite boring.
I tried maxing out the cleaver, but even then it felt like I was using a blunt club instead of a sharp, precise weapon. I understand that’s the lore of the Ogryn, but it’s not necessarily the best gameplay.
There’s also no potential for a crit build or attack speed build like the zealot.

you may play ogryn VERY different then.

The crazy amount of new damage talents… hes gonna be OP for sure.

I do play differently yeah. I know the Ogryn is built around slow heavy attacks, but that playstyle is boing to me.
