Description
This is probably the highest DPS melee build that I've put together for Ogryn. The whole purpose of the build is to take advantage of the synergy between Trample and the special attack on the Achlys Mk I Power Maul.
The build revolves around activating the special attack on the Power Maul, doing an Indomitable charge through a horde of enemies to get your stacks of Trample up (while also putting bleeds on everything with Pulverise and triggering Hard Knocks on everything you run over) which will raise your base damage by 50% if you get full stacks, and then popping the nearest armored enemy over the head (for Power Surge double explosion) with a massive (Big Boom makes the explosion radius larger) Power Maul Special. Anything that happens to survive will be knocked to the ground, left with trample boosted bleeds, Hard Knocks debuff on them, and Skullcrusher stacks making cleaning up of even the largest hordes a breeze for your team.
You typically alternate between a trample boosted Power Maul explosion and a raw explosion while you wait for the cd on Indomitable to finish. The amount of damage that this combo puts out is absolutely massive. I've been able to hit 3 million damage in a single havoc 40 game so the damage is definitely there.
Additionally, since we are already taking Big Boom we are going to double dip and take the rumbler for larger explosions there too. Its a really great weapon to open up an engagment with or for dealing good boss damage from a distance. It is also very good at taking out Reapers in a single shot even in Havoc 40.
The Blitz is your choice although I typically take rock to help with specialists that need to be killed quickly but you can also take the frag if you're doing a rituals modifier.
Attack Patterns:
Horde: H1 (triggers Beat Them Back ) -> Light spam (for about 5s before needing to heavy again for the trigger)
Or
H1->H2
SIngle target: Light > Light > Heavy (vertical weapon swing combo)
Or
Push -> H1
