The Pack Master looks cool, but he’s a complete pushover in Auric.
His armored dogs don’t really do anything, and he seem to have very poor stagger/knockdown resist and low health because he is instantly bullied by everyone when he shows up, even while surrounded by other chaff and bosses.
I’m also not a fan of him being able to spawn back-to-back since it’s a little stupid to kill him for the third time like that meme; “How many times must we teach you this lesson, old man?”
Have still not seen him actually attack once, unfortunately. He really is disgustingly undertuned and easy to staggerlock and kill. He’ll do his extremely aggressive ballsy charge then just get chucked into a corner and curbstomped
Reminds me a bit of Bödvarr Cheekspreader on release
first few times he popped up we either had a scum or zealot insta deleting the poor guy, I genuinely mistook him for a different clad crusher for a moment 
besides his “debuffs” don’t seem to affect fightin him much, so ne needs a buff in various regards.
He clocked my Veteran once yesterday, and I got an electric corner screen effect that made me feel nauseous and stayed for a while, but it did not do any real damage.
Yea, he is complete pushover, not a single time he presented any threat.
Usually I sit down to learn how to kite bosses but everything he does is so anemic. You just back dodge or knock him on his ass. The worst part is that I haven’t heard him speak once.
First time I saw one… well, I didn’t even see it, actually, not even his health bar on top of the screen, I just saw the achievement pop up. I asked about it in the chat, someone basically just answered ”yeah it got one-shot lol”
When I actually see one in Expeditions, he usually barely has time to attack. He gets bullrushed, falls on his ass, and gets bullied to death.
Yeah, he’s a bit underwhelming once you figure him out. My first, like, two or three fights with Ogryn Packmaster whilst he was still “unfamiliar” were REALLY fun, though.
When he stacks up with a captain and some hordes he can be a problem. That charge constantly pushing you back in to plasma to the face territory is rough. He’s pretty manageable in a 1 v 1 tho.
If the Pack Master can appear together with other bosses, such as the company commander who uses the power sword, it will be extremely terrifying.
had a packmaster&captain spawn simultaneously and prioritizing the former made the encounter an easy one.
first one down in under 15 seconds leaves little attack possibilities for the captain, after that he’s just taking time due to his shield.
IMO he should take only 10% damage from DOTs, then see what happens.
he’s a cool idea, just too weak to getting bullied and seemingly has no stagger grace period where its harder to bully him. the debuff is pretty intense though, definitely potential to be problematic if this boss were to appear in modes with stagger resistance and tons of adds to fight alongside…but in the modes where you get to bully him, these do not ever take place. also dogs that can be shot in the butt is kinda funny, but they really don’t mix up anything so boo on the devs. or maybe I’m just too used to thwacking every dog I see, so aiming at their ass for a one shot instead doesn’t feel tremendously game changing.
Imagine if his charged sweep attack gave everyone the old Rampage debuff if hit or blocked - must dodge backwards to avoid it.
No more stamina and lose a lot of Stam regen for a period of time. Now he’s very dangerous in a mixed horde scenario with potentially hounds running around that need Stamina for pushing them away.
Armored Dogs: +100% faster recovery after missed pounce and stagger immune. Must be killed if on a pounced player and pounce must be dodged.
well he got a huge meathook for a left hand, time to impale someone with it and instantly give one wound.
that chaos spawn nibble and tossing around outwore its welcome as an incapacity method, time to get some real instant damage from not dodging an attack
Bullcharge ending in an impale attack, targets players dealing ranged damage to him. Goodbye Plasma Vet and Purgatus Psyker.
I’d say we should wait until he’s dropped in the normal missions first, because I’m sure the debuff he applies is stronger when surrounded by 5000 enemies
Also the monstrosity that really needs help rn is Plague ogryn
isn’t he already?
I’d see that as win 
Just throw 3 of the RPG grenande you can buy from the safe zones at the packmaster and he istant dies … not really boss like >.>
Besides that,
i would love to see the Packmaster in other modes too, like aurics or havocs. 
Never saw him in Havoc yet so no
The armoured dogs can spawn in normal missions however
