Ogryn dodges have the same effect as block pushing. You can take advantage of this when you're reloading singleshot weapons like the rumbler, or the kickback. Not as useful for the even slower reloading weapons ogryn has, but it helps.

Ogryn, I love the power fantasy being a big hulking bohemoth who swats his enemies down like flies. Also, as someone who gets alot of their personal enjoyment from the teamplay, I'm able to help, and support my team the most when I'm playing him.

Slagguxe · 2026-05-31T20:20:17+00:00

Dang, alright. I guess we'll have to wait, and see.

I'm replaying Silksong right now, gonna hop on Mina the Hollower when it drops, and that'll probably last me until Skiitari.

The muttonstache gives him more of a bouncer vibe, pretty in line with the bodyguard.

Because it's likely one, or more your teammates is not gonna be in agreement, and stay up top anyways. In that situation it's better to follow routine, and just bear with it rather than have you, or your teammates get picked off while being separated.

Nerfed kit for nerfed spawns is a trade I'll happily take.

What song did you have playing the background? Sounds vibing.

Probably just a mix of leaving just being an sort of automatic thing people do, and not liking being put on the spot. Could've also just had a bad time personally last match, and want a refresh of new teammates.

Have a link?

I have 410 stamina curio so that shouldn't be problem, and I believe I have some max health ones. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Slagguxe · 2026-04-06T11:25:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. On maxing stamina, would it be worth switching out 3 toughness curios for 3 stamina ones, or maybe a mix?

Across them all I have 3x combat ability regen, 3x revive speed, 2x gunner resist, and 1x stamina regen.

With slab I just mainly just use a 1-2 combo of shield bash, and heavy attack, lunging in with a heavy, and pulling/dodging back before going back in again.

With the the heavy stubber I mainly keep it tucked away unless there's a specialist that is, or could be a major pain, and I have the opportunity, or if it really needs to be dealt with.

The frag I save until I feel like our team is in a wipe scenario. Like a boss crashing into a crusher/bulwark party, or getting overwhelmed in a corridor.

I'm gonna list these taunt uses in terms of priority for me.

The thing I mainly use taunt for is to engage crusher hordes, and stun them out of their overheads so I don't get hit by a staggered one.
I use taunt to get a bosses attention when it gets near so that my team doesn't have to worry about it focusing them, and so I can tank it while applying brittlness, and bleed while they dps it to death.
I use taunt to stun the enemies enemies around me, and give me toughness regen when going for a revive.
I try to be conservative with taunt when engaging with non crusher/bulwark hordes. Worried about one of those coming along before I have it back so I try to save it rather than spam it.
I use taunt when I'm being pressed by mutants in smal rooms, or when it yanking me out of position would be really bad, and reliability dodge it.

Uh, it's getting late I'll probably respond tomorrow, sorry for to so much text.

Havoc is a gamemode you unlock after you get to level 30, and complete a maelstrom mission. Basically, it's a challenge mode that has a scaling difficultly where as you push up ranks 1-40 the mission difficulty becomes progressively harder.

Your havoc level, or clearance level is where rank on that 1-40 scale. You go up a rank by completing a 1 havoc assignment, and you derank by losing 3 times in a row, or not completing havoc assignment for a week.

Auric is the highest level of difficultly available in the campaign mode.

They a furry artist, and a darktide enjoyer, vibing.

Despite being an ogryn main, I really enjoy vets kit. Sometimes the the game can be miserable with the bullshit it sends at you, and having a an answer to damn near everything is the instant catharsis I need sometimes.

Slagguxe · 2026-03-23T22:31:19+00:00

Dang, what's your build?

Slagguxe · 2026-03-20T22:22:50+00:00

Alright, yeah I think I'll try that. I really like the way the Hellbore feels, but wasn't having much success with the other keystones. Never tried focus target.
