It’s been barely a week since Outriders launched and the community has already decided that Devastators are second tier citizens incapable of enough DPS. This is A) wrong and B) dumb. But People Can Fly’s idea to nerf the other three classes immediately is not good either.

What's your favorite build right now? Does it rely on special ammo or not? Sub for more Outriders stuff, gonna do builds soon enough here – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1
LMAO having the time of my life punking these techno and trickster hoes in tier 15. In top dps in 60-70% of my games and am permanently at max health because bleed build OP
Suck it losers, you’ve been playing on ez and now your on normal with the rest of us
Ability spam dev is mad strong I’ve almost doubled people in my lobby dps
well i got my build together only accepting my fellow devastators in my lobbies kicking everyone else out
Without my corrosive rounds as a techno getting to tier 15 during the main story would have been a headache. I’ve been soloing the game since day one and not dropping tiers I still haven’t finished the campaign even tho I’m level 30 and highest tier endgame stuff already ruining my guy. Been trying to farm some exotic armor sets only got one piece so far meh
Statue legendary set gives you and your teammates 100% firepower when golem is up. Bolder dash and tremor have skills to double or better armour which can give you up to 40% firepower if your running warden class. Alternating through two skills and you got 140% extra firepower and insane sustainability. Not to mention anomalie veins can get you a direct 30% weapon damage.
Gotta play devastator anyway… Because he will get a buff and still a beast without. But when buffs come because of everyone complaining you will be ahead of the game.
The reason Devastator is being snubbed is because all three of the other classes have an ammo ability, that with the right build, is essentially infinite ammo, with high damage…..and oddly enough my Technomancer DPS (Pestilence) build has better survivability than a Heals/Tank (Elemental Shamen) build. Furthermore, if they switched it from a timed to a point system, with deaths making you lose points & bonus points for staying alive/handing out revies, then more than just Firepower DPS builds would be viable in end game….but nope they went for timed BS.
Devastator main here, as a tank main in other games, im used to be hated for everything that goes wrong. though this is something new, because the tank role is almost obsolete due to the high damagte output of other classes, making taking tamage, or beeing the bulletsponge got obsolete
Titan main and Devastator main, seems I always pick the most undermined and heavily looked down upon classes… more crayons for me then XD
When rounds get nerfed but still needed to stay competitive in endgame… Like bruh, my shots go from 2k to 20k with the rounds and not feel like I'm shooting marbles.
Anomaly bullet builds are for smooth brains
Yup, a devastator joined ours, we did 40 Mill plus dmg, he did 5…. ye no thanks
I'm a dev main and the party I run with, I'm top damage pretty consistently. My damage is followed by barely beating out a Technomancer and blowing away a Pyromancer. I think we're good. Not worried about getting kicked.
Can we stop with the nerfings in PvE games? I got tired of Borderlands 3 after a month and I’m already getting tired of Outriders. I don’t even have lvl40 gear for my twisted rounds build and there’s already a nerf? Hell, lately non-multiplayer games are nerfing things harder than online multiplayer games.
Am a very squishy techno I prefer matching with a dev.
So it’s obnoxious to get kicked for using the least effective build but it’s not obnoxious to the other players that you refuse to use a better character that would be better for the whole team? Hmmmm, seems one sided.
I like a tank devastator in the party. Never at risk of accidentally failing cause they can rez easily.
Why would you do nerfs in PvE only game? Anthem (for all its faults) just let people go nuts on powerful builds (such as they were). I think Anthem did that right. Maybe the Outriders community devs can take a chill-pill and see where it goes?
Great video as always, Paul.
this community is so shit its all the COD kids or what
To be quite honest, no matter what you won’t maximize dev. Sadly , because they need an extreme buff a buff not only they can deal more damage but to actually fill in the role “tank”. There’s Argo skills needed and debuff along side with it the agros. It’s a fun amazing class and as a dev main I have to move on to something better and effective because the creators of the game trying to fix and nerf somethings that are out right stupid.
I have played as a techno and I have ran over 50 ct 15 and never died. And constantly done over 200 million damage total. So as long as you have 1 good techno on your team then it doesn’t matter what anyone else plays
Just don’t be a devastator lol
This is funny he does a video about Devastator's being discriminated against and he's like FYI i haven't played the Devastator its the class im doing last lol
This is crazy to me lol I love getting a random deva in my game they launch straight into the hoard every time and I stand behind my personal meat shield and play my role like hes doing dunno why people don’t really enjoy that. Like they have great ap aoe so drop some vulnerability all over the place and a blight turret for some buffs and put out some team synergy lol
Basically what people are saying is, Because of the chose the developers made to not give the devastator class special rounds that compare to twisted rounds and the rest of the special rounds no one wants to play with them….. That's discrimination lol watch the developers come up with a patch to give devastators some sort of Gravity Rounds that do knock back damage and stagger enemies weakening them for 5 seconds…. long story short Devastator needs special rounds added to there class this would solve the problem of devastators getting kicked from end game content.
My friend said devastater = tank so the tank meta man I am said fuck yeah
Man I just started playing with my brother both as devastators and man is it fucking fun
Thanks everyone for caring me thru the game, now I have my mods( not tier one ammo restock) I’ll take it from here! I do all the tanking and on average my damage out shines most 75 % of time, build is not close to being min maxed yet. But I do enjoy the part when ppl look at me as a living GOD..
Lol it’s not just that class. Most people are r worded and leave their parties open when they want privacy.
I love my devastator build and think it’s the best class in the game
Some gamers are straight douch bags.
Lots of sweaty nerds playing this game
I think if you search MP then it should load 3 seperate characters in and not 3 of this or 3 of that
Bleeding build. That's where it's at. Op as hell with the right skills. Mobility beyond limits. That's what I call OP beyond limits.
I just got the game today (writing this while it downloads).
Of the four classes I was looking at the Devastator as my main character.
I like the idea of being a hulking mass of rock, but it seems everyone says it's the weakest class so if that's the case, what's the best class to play first time?
Been maining devastator since the beta. It's great if you know how to build/use it, even if it's not the highest single target DPS. Bleed everything, fly around smashing stuff and repeat.
When did coop gaming become as competitive as climbing a career ladder ffs???
We rock benders don't need anyone, we will do seismic build and kick ass. Hope they nerf the bullets so bad that we kick them out.
what is dps?
Wish I could see the gear or gear level of those who I join or join me so I know what tier to target expeditions. And joining am ask player gets old. Still loving the game. Just needs some tweeking. As a devastator I'm having a blast, but do get random kicked a bunch.
