Do something about Bestial claws

[DroneSuM]

I’ve never complained about pvp in this game, or any weapons for that matter. Bestial claws need to be nerfed. They take 0 skill with the lock on ability. Pvp is very stale at the moment and has been very stale ever since the claws were put in to the game. Me and my tribe members fight each other, and when I use the claws I can literally play with one hand and almost kill them. The funny part is I kill them some times with one hand. I also find it to be most annoying when, trolls come to my server and we fight back and forth. Then 30 minutes later they all come after me and my tribe with claws and it’s a 4v4 with nothing but claws. Please make a change soon! Claws are meant to catch people or get away. Get rid of the lock on ability while the claws are equipped please. I do not find this style of pvp fun at all. Thanks, and have a fine day!

Bestial Claws are a problem

Ok so I’ve never ever had a problem before now with the claws. In fact, I’ve always thought they were bad. But since the bestial claws were added, literally everyone uses them. And they are dumb OP. Here’s why: You can’t run. You can’t trade. You will always run out of stamina first. This one guy was nonstop spamming these claws on me and I was sprinting away with 30 grit and a stamina potion, but I ran out of stam first every single time. I tried trading with him too, I’d hit him twice and he …

No more nerfs.

always more balancing

If one weapon is OP compared to other weapons and you tone it down (nerf it) to match the other weapons, then you balanced weapons

Again, you’re thinking about garbage claw users in a 1v1 situation. Good claw users won’t just jump at you unless you’re low, and if you’re low, it doesn’t matter if you trade with them because they’re killing you.

Please actually read through the points made im the thread. It’s been said multiple times that in 1v1s they aren’t too much of a problem, but the team fight power and utility they bring is completely broken.

Try catching someone using claws if you don’t have them. Try getting away from someone with claws if you don’t have them. Trading doesn’t help when you’re getting ganked.

The problem is the fact that if you don’t have them you’re either dead, or not securing your kills. Skill hardly matters at all anymore because total noobs can just mash r2 and still be a threat.

And I can agree that most weapons have situational uses now. But the fact remains that if you don’t have claws, then you’re dead. Either that or you’re not killing anyone.

Pvp is healthier now than it has ever been. Once, all you used was silent legion. After that, it was only spear meta. Now?

Claws, daggers, hammers, archery, axes, swords, heavy armor, medium armor, light armor, animal thralls, fighter thralls, archer thralls, bearers… even using bombs to kill players. You see pretty much EVERYTHING in pvp now. Darfari is still the most common, but I see people wearing everything and using every weapon to great effect. Combat meta has never been in a better spot.

Agreed

After reading all this hype about bestial claws and how “everyone” is using them, I decided to get a pair for myself to see just how good or bad they are. I have been assuming Rake/Claw spawn in the amphitheater, and have been camping it, but have yet to see them. Sheesh! With people commenting on mass PvP with bestial claws, it would seem that Rake/Claw are common spawns. Do they spawn somewhere else or are they an occasional spawn?

[Maedhros]

They are chance spawns at the Den

This!
