Latest change to overcome "fun" Scab Plasma Gunner enemies: Valuable Distraction > "Go Again!".

Heavy stubber update: Flak>Maniac

Lost Crusher oneshot with the recent changes, but it will still fold to the two hits.  Rest is up to date.

If you are struggling to hit heads for oneshots or want different adjustment, here is the list of viable for Branx choices:

•  Great Cleaver closing that Branx cleave weakness feels good.
•  Frenzied Blows AS is good, but not very reliable(misses). Really good on other weapons tho.
•  No Stopping Me! is a fun node, but i can do perfectly fine w/o it.
•  Strike Truefor boss damage and bonk consistency.
•  Slam QOL node which boosts stamina regen.
•  Strongman for more defense.
•  Towering Presence for smoother ult CD in combo with Bruiser, but personally i dont like that choice.
•  Dedicated Practice for quick sniping.

Bad nodes for Branx:

• Hard Knocks everything is dead on 2 shots anyway, this node is waste of points.
• Impactful same reasoning.
• Batter you are oneshotting/two-shotting anything, so bleed value is super low.

Probably best and most fun Ogryn build for high havocs, but requires time to get used to Branx timings, so i dont call it noob friendly. Pox Hound Poxburster incidents (when you are "stuck in animation") can be the norm, when you are using to Branx.

If you are struggling, just pick Karsolas and spam heavy attacks, while aiming at enemy heads. But for Scab Rager and Scab Mauler aim for legs, to cleave through multiple enemies at once (Works for Branx too).

Combat:

Solo target: Heavy>Light>loop

On Captain shields: Spam Lights

Cleave: Light>Heavy>loop or PushAttack>Heavy(Really useful when you are in a tight situation, because it will stagger most targets. But watch your stamina, because block break can result in a big damage taken. Use taunt to win time and recover if that happens or try dodging away).

Oneshot Mutant on charged Heavy1 headshot or on full stacks of Heavy Hitter . 

Cancel combo with quick block press and you are in a state of Heavy1 again. Use that for multiple Mutant or to snipe priority targets while kiting back.

Tips for Bulwark:

While using Branx you can just enter into the shield and BONK head with Heavy1. Or try to go around on left side with Heavy2.

While using Karsolas, just keep in mind what direction next Heavy attack will go out from and try to go around Bulwark from that side and hit it with that Heavy, which will leads to an opening and easy kill. 

On bosses just spam heavy attacks or try to land Heavy1 on a head if you got an opening.
