Not that we need to, we are killing Medium Monkey easy enough with Rexes. But AI-controlled direbears dont use secondary attack often enough to beat AI-controlled Rexs' dps.

Equinox713 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I’ve seen and heard of the bear being used in boss fights on rangarock, cause you can pull out weapons on its back. So there are like 10 Rexes for the dragon and bears for the rider after the manticore. Idk maybe these people are mad, but it seems viable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger1 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I suppose if the Dire Bear needed something a little special to differentiate it from a resource gathering point of view a honey collection bonus wouldn't be too far out of line. In fact, I suppose one could go so far as to consider it a bear necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerstuck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I would pay to see a pair of direbears kill a wild giga on an official server without any sheneigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN transport situation - yes, but then a small flock of weight-argies is better, in PVP or specifically base raid - no, because there is no advantage of the speed once you get hit by anything. Get hit by X-Plants and thats one snail direbear that cannot do anything but die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinteryourjaw Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Bears and their DPS, are cool but when compared to the sloths bug boost dps wouldn't the bear's/sloth's use be more situational ...meaning everybody here is right : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick11992 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ever been attacked from behind while riding a Dire Bear? Well... good luck if you're in the forest or a tight place. I abandoned bears after several Terrorbirds and Direwolves stuck in my bear's butt and I wasn't able to hit them or turn around until I went off the bear and let the AI do the job. Megatherium by fare has a better AoE, especially with right-click. The only thing the Direbear is better is faster attacks, as far as I remember.Bears paw swipe attacks behind too... Easily killing terror birds or whatever from all sides.. I take mine to the murder snow on Ragnarok and it easily takes on 8 pack boosted wolves from all sides simultaneously.

You can be kaprosucked from direbear vs Kapros completely ignore Megatherium riders We have a clear winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikstorm9 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Most dinos never get used. So much potential is lost because devs still not make wenough content or bug fixes to use them. Make more caves and boss fights where we can use these dinos in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayne1973 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 No way In my humble opinion the bear is still the best all around tame there is. In other news I am skeptical about 2 bears taking down a giga as the gentleman above stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Does anyone know if Purlovias ignore the Megatherium? I used Theriz and Bears in the snow cave but the Purlovias pull you off. Do they pull you of a Megatherium too? If not it would eventually be a really good way to clean the hard snow cave since it should be small enough to fit trough the middle part.

Thanatos0417 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My bear can do like 4k damage in a single hit, even if they aren't the absolute best for berries, or chitin, and all that, between the speed and just raw damage against any animals, not just bugs, they'll never really lose their role IMO.

I do believe training dummies act like thatch buildings, there's a formula to calculate the actual damage given the tame can actually damage thatch (obviously) but 4k on a dummy does sound like private server numbers..
