Lol yea viking is ass

😁 I also had pistol as my back up and I might give the Alpha Sickle a shot in his hands and see how it plays out though I am determined to find a way to use that axe effectively! 😂 and I’ll see if maybe Big Red my female zerker can get some use out of it. Although it may be even harder now to play around with builds with the crazy potential damage output FT has now 😳

Good luck with that, me and a few buddies just melted a Viking in less than 3 seconds while he tried to use the axe.

VIKINGS DON’T USE PISTOLS😝 THEY USE AXES, BOWS, BLADES LIKE REAL WARRIORS!!!

I think the idea is to chip away at their health slowly before trying to finish them with the Axe. Use Bear Trap when they’re all bloody, and finish them with the headsplitter heavy attack😈 We will work it out.
Tomorrow I’m going to try running the perk that reduces overload cooldown periods, and test a slam+swing strat. If you leap and hold L2 you do the heavy attack when you land so there’s potential there to leap in undetected and whollop!!

Just tested the melee damage passive on Viking. 1.133333 extra melee damage.

I’ll test and list them all, but right now:
Melee damage modifier:
Viking - 1.13333
Berserker - 1.1
Samurai - 1.6666
Alpha - 1.6666
Elder - 0.95

Just missing scout. Not sure if the others have melee modifiers.

Thanks, thats some useful info.
I’ve noticed about Alpha, dealing lots of melee dmg in a few shots only. I didnt know that Samurai and Alpha share the same dmg modifier.

Does the viking have more health than the Zerker? It says they have the same but I dont think those meters are accurate, given the JH “nerf”.

Haven’t tested anything yet to fully determine that but it feels like it.

#52

Scout is 3.14159

Jesus that’s IT? 1.3? Figured he’d at least be on par with Alpha.
I’m assuming that’s % and not HP?

#53

Lol only when playing a pred i know cuz viking isnt cutting it blew up everytime i used him.

#54

Yea, Viking is slow but it looks really cool 😎

#55

What?

These are the modifiers to melee damage. For example, if each predator does one wrist blades hit, the damage would look like this:
Viking - 34
Berserker - 33
Samurai - 32
Alpha - 32
Hunter - 30
Elder - 28.5

How does this even make sense? A skilled, seasoned veteran of the Hunt does the least damage🙄

Yeah. It’s a little disappointing, but he does have an extremely large energy pool. I also don’t like that he’s slower than Hunter.

I haven’t been using elder since the skin bug anyway, and this patch hasn’t fixed it either.

It’s a joke. That’s the number value for pi

Ha. Okay, I suspected that. I didn’t look it up, because I was quickly posting while I was preoccupied with something else. That’s was a good joke, sorry it’s too early in the morning for me to get it right away.

I have a very up and down relationship with coffee. I try to fast from coffee occasionally, otherwise I’ll eventually be drinking 6 cups a day.
