Description
The Depths of the Damned update frees up a ton of talent points for Ogryn, so there's a lot of bullshit you can slap on when you're optimizing for Auric instead of Havoc. The pickaxes getting the shield_breaker tag (helpful against Vanguards) is also nice.
Talents I consider to be "nice-to-haves" rather than auto-picks:
- Slam : You should be stagger-sufficient already, especially with the Karsolas's special.
- Brutish Strength & Dominate : Boosts your bleed dmg against armor. Might kill an errant Crusher in mixed horde situations.
- Crunch! : Headtaker+Slaughterer is the generalist blessing combo. You won't be charging heavies a lot.
- Implacable & Don't Feel a Thing : Taking damage at all is a skill issue.
- No Stopping Me! : You should be sliding to cover ground with heavies, but this is fun.
Mk 5 Ripper is Ogryn's best gun for its sniping capability and burst damage in a pinch. Always hipfire and learn to QQ cancel to reset its recoil. If you were taking the Kickback or Thugshot I'd consider taking Keep Shooting and maybe even Spray and Slay .
Not stated anywhere in-game last I checked, but hooked enemies take 10% extra damage from all players for 5 seconds before effects like Soften Them Up . The hook special also sets up an overhead follow-up.
