Don’t know about discord since i don’t really go there. I tend to post/read here since it’s easier for the devs to notice/react given that this is the official forum. Anyhow, here’s a few posts in which either the OP or the replies discuss the shield at one point or another. And while opinions differ, the shield was never considered a weapon to be kicked out of a match for using. And even posts that SPECIFICALLY go against the shield don’t trash it, like it is being done these days.:
Ogryn has only one viable weapon and one viable build to use on heresy/damnation, and if you deviate from that build you’re dead weight. It’s also very antifun in a lot of cases because you just sit behind your shield and don’t participate while everyone else gets to actually play the game.
First, his only interesting melee weapon is the shield. The rest is cool but totally useless since enemies with rifles will destroy you.
You have to play on with it, it’s slow, the heavy attack has terrible…
I think it completely overshadows all other melees (Ogryn’s) just for having a pocket cover.
The shield just really breaks his whole character as a CC class and makes all other options irrelevant.
I can only see this going 3 ways:
Every Ogryn melee gets a shield
All shieldless alternatives get massive mobility/power buffs
EDIT: 3) Take way more stamina damage from ranged when shielding (without special attack)
I’m only lvl17 so i might be wrong about this, but right now I see 0 reason to b…
It feels to me like the class is a mishmash of a support and berserker and not really nailing either. It’s somewhat lite on support abilities and has a harder time surviving at higher difficulties in a berserker role. Given that the current zealot class might be a better fit for a berserker at higher difficulty levels some of the below suggestions could help better distinguish the current Ogryn Class in a role that is unique and canonical or maybe just as a future class suggestion.
Skullbreaker…
Me too!! It’s actually insane. When I play my Zealot there is not a single one to be found, but when I’m in my Ogryn every other game is me and one or two other bros.
Hi,
I’ve read many posts here saying that the Ogryn is only viable at higher diffculty levels with a shield. This is simply NOT true.
I have more than 70 hours playing Ogryn only on the beta, I have done many heresy runs, with AND without friends, I have tried all the weapons and equipments possible, including the shield of course, and let me tell you this : If you don’t enjoy the gameplay with a shield, you DON’T have to play with it.
Actually, I have WAY more success playing the Ogryn witho…
