Nerf Pugio ! | Forums

[mad_hyena]

I think personally, this feat needs a huge nerf. This discussion has nothing to do with Cent being underpowered, believe me I'm well aware of how bad he is, this is specifically about Pugio. The reason I say this feat needs to be toned down is if we look at it in comparison to all of the other third feat projectiles, this one blows all of them out of the water, the absolute highest damage from one that isn't Pugio is 60 and that's on an explosive, for a more normal projectile the highest is 50 on javelin, Neptune's wrath, and long bow. The Pugio deals an initial 25 damage but also guarantees an entire cutscene combo to land which without haymaker deals 60 damage and 70 with it, generally since this is a feat only useable in 4s and any Cent with a minimum of 5 brain cells is running haymaker I'm going to go with the 70 damage amount. Add that to the 25 and you get a 100% balanced 95 damage off of one Pugio and that's only if the Cent is alone, if he's got a teammate this thing is practically a 1 shot , its so frustrating fighting cent's in 4's
especially if there is more than one cent in the enemy team

yes they should slow the animation a bit maybe similar to long bow , the amount of damage it guarantees is ridiculous

[Qoissant]

No, they should do nothing about it until he gets a rework

[Knight_Raime]

No point in nerfing it at the moment as Centurion no longer gets his cutscene in the rework. This follows over to pugio as well. So it's essentially already taken care of.

it is dodgeable. Have you tried dodging it yet? it can be dodged and rather telegraphed. But in a gank.... good luck
The feat doesn't need to be nerfed. I'd prefer the dev spends their time reworking heroes that need to be reworked rather than using that time nerfing inconvenient things.

its so fast to be dodged on reaction should be slowed down for the damage it guarantees and in a gank its impossible to evade
one shot kill feat

When your close to a cent with pugio it feels instant however from afar it can be pretty slow
but don't forget it also triggers jorges nut slam which is 50 combine that with cent+pugio
it will not be good time especially when their is two cents and jorges you and
anyonelse in the vicinity are pretty much screwed not saying that jorge and cent are op
but the synergy of the two is.
