So viking Predator is mehh

True. But there are a lot of specializations around gaining health rather than increasing damage, too. There is still the problem that a lot of casual players don’t even know that specializations were added. It should automatically select:

  • Fanatic for assault and Dutch 87
  • Overseer for support and Dutch 2025
  • Scavenger for scout
  • Amphibious for recon

That way potatos can get help without even trying.

Well, that’s definitely one way to ensure people know about Specializations. I see that backfiring spectacularly by wiping loadouts or not accepting changes to the loadout, particularly with the Specializations

I saw the video, you could have done that with Hunter even better. I am super ultra sure about that. The Viking is terrible because you have no speed, only one fireteam can melt your hp because your movements are god damn slow. Also you were using the best melee weapon: the elder sword. The Viking Axe is the worst weapon in the game. It’s even worse than the war club. I challenge you 1 vs 1 in private , 3 games with war club and 3 games with Axe and I am sure that you will kill me 3 times out of 3 with war club and maybe 1, if I fucked up, with Axe.

I agree. The axe is way too slow. I had a game where I literally had to retreat to eat hogs or heal after every engagement because they would dodge the heavy attack by simply walking backward. The light attacks need more lunge and the heavy attack needs to be about 30% quicker, maybe more.

The heavy attack should be quicker and also the damage should be higher by 10 . You should kill one dutch with one quick shot of the bow and one heavy attack. The light attack should faster too and with less recovery if you want disengage.
