When they come out with perks like these I don't think people should take them super seriously, it's mainly for the sake of fun to switch things up. Like the peasant perk.
Ye I always thought the peasant perk was kind of left in the dark when compared to the other perks, it is nice to have access to more "Fucket, I'm bored" playstyles
theres a squad that ive seen on the oceanic servers that infects a game to make a naked dwarf rock throwing nightmare and they all use high pitch foppish of course it is true pain to fight a dozen rock throwing boiz
And here I am playing a dwarf-tank Which is hilariously bad. You can tank 1 extra shot in full tier 3 armor. You move like a glacier, but you do get a slight damage boost from the tank perk off-setting the dwarf so you can 2 shot through medium armor with a war axe.
To me it feels like Dwarf should be the first "anti-perk", instead of taking away 3 points it would give you 3 more, so there's incentive past RP reasons to use it.
I have recently begun using the tank perk, and I have found it very useful. I am a mediocre player, and the little bit of extra staying power is very useful. Also, in public games for a less than amazing player, the downsides are not too bad. The low speed helps prevent me from overextending, and has helped me develop habits of sticking with team mates. I don't notice the turncap all that much, as I'm not amazing at drags and accelerations anyway. And I havent really had too many times were someone running away in light armor was a problem, as in pubs they usually re engage you, or you shouldn't chase them anyway because you would get isolated. Also tenacious helps with the health regen for less cost than blood lust. Again if you stick with team mates you can take a few hits, pull back, heal, and then get back into the fight. It may not be the best for pros or those who only like the most optimal load out, but for average schmucks like me it can be very useful.
What I kind of wished from the Dwarf perk, is that if the Dwarf is wearing full T3, the damage reduction is reduced dramatically. If you wear a 3-3-2 setup, you still get the full 50% damage reduction etc. One dwarf weakness, is literally you cannot catch up to people running away from a swing-
Related I tried veteran without realising it was a tank and basically made a custom character that is a different looking veteran, then realised they were both tank. I keep coming back to tank because it makes you feel POWERFUL even if I'm really bad at mordhau Unrelated Found a dude with peasant perk who had 2 rakes and a shovel, went around to two people, gave them each a rake me included and then the three of us charged off to 1v3 people with gardening equipment it was amazing
Something that you missed with the tank perk is the chase mechanic speed. Im pretty sure its a glitch but at the moment the when you have tank equipped the chase mechanic makes you faster than literally anything else in the game. You catch up almost instantly so it makes it very surprising for players that think they can do the cheese tactic turning and running from all attacks.
I've had a surprising amount of success with Tank in duels as of late. It's probably because people dont expect you to take an extra hit or two, but I've managed to have surprising success with axe + round shield on Tank. The amazing speed of the axe, great defense of the shield and the natural damage reduction of the Tank (and it's slight range increase) has made the one handed axe one of my favorite weapons.
IMO I think they should just make dwarf cost 6 points like tank and take normal damage. I mean your head gets hit so often, being short is not really an advantage. Also dwarf archer is even more of a death sentence. The extra damage from dwarf AND the huntsman perk is instant death lol
I currently alternate from dwarf to tank every other round in pvp as I enjoy how much it contrasts the height difference. As a dwarf I run firebomb with fire resistance perk and pick up a weapon like my tank does as I noticed fire protects dwarfs more then any armor can. @KingLouie111 Could you perchance do some dodge testing with tank/dwarf perks for us? I find shrug does incredibly well as dwarf and as tank my only viable dodge is to backpeddle 360. If you would like some help I'd be happy to oblige.
I tried dwarf/dodge and don't like it. If the opponent facehugs, you can't dodge far enough and if you manage to dodge you have troubles closing the gap again because you are slow. I'm not an expert dodge player though by any means.
I like dwarf when I want to be sneaky, sneaking into enemy bases, sneaking up on people, basically feel like chucky when I use dwarf. I like tank because it's cool to make a big ogre type of guy, had times when i was a tank with level 2 armor and I was walking around with 3 or 4 arrows I got shot by lol. Then if I need speed to play seriously and get to cap points I play normal
Maybe against a bad player but anyone who is even remotely competent can just stay out of your attack range because of how slow you are from combining the two.
How do you think the future of mordhau perks will be? Are they going to go full fantasy mode and add different perks with more weird features? Maybe a Elf perk that lets you change your skin color and makes you extremely thin and tall.
I actually thought about that exact question a few days ago. In my opinion they should stay somewhat true to the medieval theme and let the community go ham with fantasy mods once the official SDK is out.
* Guy talking to a dev * Ok so short legs make you slower --Yep! So then long legs must make you --slower too, thats right! ..... We pride ourselves on realism Ok....
Tank shines on horse back. What use to one hit you will no longer one hit on horse back so you can do heavy builds on horse back and it's pretty much the same feeling of being in full heavy armor in Rust on an Armoured horse.
Could you do a full comparison on movement speed between tank vs normal with every armor set? I was wondering if a 321 tank has a similar movement speed as a normal 333 - 332, difference on htk with zweihander is 1htk more to kill the tank with that armor (3htk on head and torso vs 2htk on head and torso).
Interesting. I tried 3 or 4 different weapons and different armor and it was always exactly 29 %. With what weapon/ against what armor did you get 40 %?
They should add a 5m or 4m pike with low damage and no ability to cut or block and make it to block in alternative grip, and it's good side to be an ability to push back whoever it hits even if it got blocked, so ppl with good organisation can make a pike wall and be effective at a good range. Maybe should add it as a weapon you can only find on the map, like lance
You forgot to mention that as a dwarf you do not need leg Armor cause it is very unlikely to get hit in the legs so that are some extra Points to spend
I have a dwarf loadout called CHICKEN and I think you can guess what it looks like anyways I run it with the new curved blade, jav, firebomb and I actually do a lot of harm during invasion maps with it lol
I love the tank perk, I'm not much of a foot dancer so speed dosen't matter to much to me, bu you can sometimes sneak out a win because you take longer to go down, and being slow means you're commited to the fight retreat is not an option lol.
Both tank and dwarf are great for team modes, as they are great for supporting regular sized teammates. Also on horse they are both different. I'd rather use a bandage and a heavy weapon as a tank by the way, its just way smarter if you ask me especially on the big team modes.
While I haven’t been running tank much myself, it seems decent to run no armor with a strong weapon and bloodlust. Tank prevents you from being one shot by standard melee or ranged attacks (horse can change this) so you can run that instead of light armor. I like my drags too much tho :P
I would like to see more fantasy accurate dwarves. (Warhammer, Lotr, witcher etc.) - Wider and more muscular - 30% slower than normal humans with tier 3 armor, but no speed reduction for armor tiers. (So they are always slower than any human wearing any armor tier, but armor worn does not affect their own speed. - more restricted turncaps - damage recieved decreases when more armor is equiped while increasing it when less armor is equiped. (Amor is more effectieve) - damage dealt decreases when more armor is equiped while increasing it when less armor is equiped. (Do more damage when not wearing armor) ((not sure about this one)) - The Smith perk is free when the dwarf perk is active. -Dwarf perk and tank perk are no longer possible to combine. - Dwarf perk cannot be combined with bloodlust. (Because of the armor buff) - Dwarf perk cannot be combined with dodge.
I made myself a skinny dwarf with falchion in Targe (he is more like A Goblin tho) and for me he is usefull in a frontlines cause in the chaos of battle i can easly flank and backstab some enemies
I feel like they need to scale armor better, Tier 3 armor should be able to just get blitzed passed with a sword (No matter how big). And increase the price of it such that it makes the weapons you can carry more restrictive. Right now when I see full armor it's not that big a threat, but in reality it should be more like they are an insane tank. Also the TANK powerup should be buffed imo, when it's being used I feel almost like a sitting duck.
dwarf actually seems to work fairly decently with an engineer build, just make a barrier so no one can get to you and put up a ballista and voila, no need to worry about dmg and you stay out of the fray
You missed the best benefit of the tank, trading potential, by using a riposte you can easily trade with every weapon, that’s why I run 3-3-2 with maul and tank, so no matter what the other person has, I can afford to trade, but they can’t
You missed a very big pro to dwarves, they're small and easier to hide with. As an Archer getting chased down, you can easily hide behind things or in bushes/grass.
Honestly, they should've stuck with *either* the move speed penalty *or* the speed penalty for the dwarf. Both combined are just way too much for a "perk", especially since you are using points to make yourself worse. Either that or add another hard stat upside, like having more stamina, or a faster build rate. Also, +50% damage is absurd either way. Make it somewhere in the ballpark of 25-30 and it might be more than just a complete meme (also, don't they know that dwarfs are natural sprinters?)
I'd like to ask since i always get a bad answer during games. But isnt it kinda cheating to use a "Scavenger build" i mean you basically get 20+ extra points for free.
@@KingLouie111 I'd argue against you dont always get a good weapon, you can always find a longsword at the very least somewhere and as for 3 enemies running at you, 9/10 you would die anyway unless you are very good at the game. I cant shake my mind that 'scavenger builds' are just an unfair advantage for the 'smart' player.

Either that or add another hard stat upside, like having more stamina, or a faster build rate. Also, +50% damage is absurd either way. Make it somewhere in the ballpark of 25-30 and it might be more than just a complete meme (also, don't they know that dwarfs are natural sprinters?)
I'd like to ask since i always get a bad answer during games. But isnt it kinda cheating to use a "Scavenger build" i mean you basically get 20+ extra points for free.
Nah, it's not cheating. You don't always get a weapon you want and sometimes you can't even pick up a decent weapon before 3 enemies run at you.
@@KingLouie111 I'd argue against you dont always get a good weapon, you can always find a longsword at the very least somewhere and as for 3 enemies running at you, 9/10 you would die anyway unless you are very good at the game.
I cant shake my mind that 'scavenger builds' are just an unfair advantage for the 'smart' player.
