Worried about Ogryn's shield

[Excidius]

I disagree, I’m not quite 30 with my Ogryn but I’m getting close and the shield feels like a mislead on higher difficulties. The amount of ranged attacks you would want to use it to protect against will cause your stamina to vanish fast. It has great AoE stagger but the attacks are very slow compared to other options. I’ve felt more survivable and useful at controlling the enemy by running up in there with faster swinging weapons.

I don’t disagree with your whole post but I do disagree with shield draining your stamina fast, try using the shield special, it plants the shield in the ground and you do not lose stamina at all and it works against most enemies (not all for example poxwalkers jump through it, dogs jump on you anyway etc). I too hate the feel of the mace/shield and to be honest most of the ogryn’s whole kit feels slow low damage to the point of not enjoyable to me there are a few weapons I don’t mind.

Yeah, I figured it out a few hours after that post. Thanks though! (Still not a fan of shield.)

I think the Mk3 Cleaver is top tier, and the bully club is a really solid balance of crowd control and single target damage.
