A dedicated Ogryn button for grabbing/ogryn smashing(?). Zealots got their wound and dodge gimmicks, vets got their ranged and headshot gimmicks, psykers got their… well their voodoo, but ogryn? He’s just big slow and tanky on the lower diff. Weapons are big and hitty I guess? So I propose a dedic…

I had some similar ideas too [image] Ogryn Ideas Gameplay Feedback Skill tree ideas: ‘My Sweet Brute’ would allow a dead player to spawn on Ogryns position if the player died within coherency of the Ogryn. ‘Bonky Kong’ ability to pick up and throw Barrels. Teamates …

[image] junkoito: but ogryn? He’s just big slow and tanky Its probably not as good as the others but the Oggy is mostly uninterruptible while reviving or on consoles and he does a fair amount of dmg when pushing with an auspex when scanning comes up. As cool as the idea of the Ogryn throwing…

[image6] You mean slayer? My play group brought that up during the betas, lol.

[image] junkoito: So I propose a dedicated Ogryn button for grabbing everything that isnt other ogryns/monsters, to use his ogryn strength with. Grab enemies and throw them. Grab enemies and use them to soak up damage from the front. Grab barrels and throw them. Mutant trying to grab you? No! Yo…

Wow, that’d be very in character for a “feel no pain” kinda thing and potentially make high-stagger builds much better where they currently don’t feel nearly as good in DT as they did in VT2.

I don’t think it would be as strong as vet getting infinite grenades since you’re grabbing one guy. You could also put it on a timer so he’s not just picking up everyone one by one to drop over the railings too. I thought about more damage negation, but it would still bring the problem he has now w…

Throwing people about would be too complicated imo, but picking up a non special/elite and using a meat shield for X amount of damage until disintegration, could be quite cool. Throwing barrels would be insane fun though.

I think a good place to start with making Ogryn feel like Ogryn would also be making him actually the most tanky class in the game. Right now he’s among the least tanky in most relevant loss conditions. He’s slow, so he should have the most “buffer”. Right now he has the least buffer, but he does h…

Yep. I have every toughness node/buff going and 2-3 poxwalker slaps deletes my toughness. And then HP is just as flaky.

Ogryn only dies outside of havoc to specialists (flamers + disablers) tbh
