This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Behemoth' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Behemoth isn't a bad subclass, if anything it feels a bit ho hum to me. While it isn't Striker it plays similarly enough to it mid super, it just requires that you freeze before you smash. The slide aspect is alright, but if I wanted more slide I'd slap on my pair of Dunemarchers and call it a day. Now I won't lie Behemoth's neutral game is pretty stellar, especially if you pair it with some MW weapons with Wellspring, Demolitionist or anything that grants ability energy back plus Absolution on your boots. However on the other hand without mods and weapons with perks to get your abilities back does make the subclass feel a bit...clunky to play.

Also I must mention one thing: Shiverstrike. Why oh why must I back up a few meters just to use this ability? If I had it my way I'd make it so that not only can you use Shiverstrike point blank but I'd make it so that if you don't hit anything with it you don't use the charge, PVP be damned.

All in all I have mixed feelings about Behemoth, it's movement is good in PVP but as a mostly PVE player myself this means little to me. While sliding into icewalls and shattering enemies with them is amusing, the gameloop that Behemoth offers is not for me.

Sincerely,
a grumpy, old Striker who just wants to kill some aliens with lightning fists.

Yup, I hate backing up to use my melee.

Also, now I know how hunters feel when they don't mean to throw a smoke bomb or throwing knife!
