Im sure most of the ark community knows at this point just how stupid manas are... and if not, here are some of the reasons why

1. fastest land mount

2. one of the highest dps in game

3. ranged beam that spans about 40 foundations+

4. the beam freezes targets extremely quickly and continues to to damage while you are frozen

5. Manas are the fastest air tame as well, the only creature even close would be a wyvern (and wyvs actually have weaknesses unlike the manas...) .

6. Can dash side to side up and down in the air. This is commonly used to spam jump up and down on people to kill them easily.

7. are EXTREMELY fast underwater

8. Can be dismounted in water to regain full bar of stam

9. Most breeding lines will well surpass 10k health

10. Can have SADDLES (many alphas deck em out with 100+ armor saddles)

11. This saddle can hold 2 people...

12. Can be Bred, imprinted, and mutated

13. and the list keeps going

 

So here we have a tame that dominates all fields of play except for tanking turrets. In which case why would you even tank when you could block entire tames by exploiting platform saddles (but that is a whole other rant). This Creature literally completely ruined any type of pvp in ark. And i dont see why the devs think this is ok.  One of the beautiful things about this game is that every dino has a purpose and you could tell the devs liked that with their TLC passes etc. But all of that work into TLC's is down the drain now because all of Mid to end game on any ark server is legit Manas and more manas. Stupidest thing thats ever been added to ark by a long shot. Titans.. meh whatevs. ez to defend if you have a mana or two that can pump out thousands upon thousands of damage onto anything it wants.... Something really needs to get done about these things. Nerf them into the ground if you need to. Sorry for rant but from a players perspective, its just stupid that developers of a game this large, add something this broken, and continue to let it stay broken to most likely get more money off of extinction...

 

Edit: I made an account just to post this because thats how much it sucks

They r not super op this is extinction they r meant to be op for titans and osd’s and element veins what did you mean expect

Manas aren't OP for any of those things though, Kod! 

For OSD above yellow, you'd need to go ALL HP (because of the amount of time you spend attacking in melee), which means you would do hardly any damage.  You can't use the breath close to the actual OSD, so the breath is effectively useless because you can't reliably nuke things quickly from range before more things mob all over the drop, and start trashing it.  This makes Manas on OSDs essentially Thylacoleos with a slightly lower base damage (M - 35 VS T - 40) and a bit more base HP (M - 825 VS T - 700).

For Element Veins, again you are hamstringed by the breath-attack damage falloff paired with the core of the Vein blocking the actual effect of the breath unless you are right on top of an enemy.  Once again, you are on basically a Thylacoleo with slightly lower base damage and a bit more HP.

For Titan killing you could say that they are OP I guess, but other methods that are more dependable at long range are better now because of, once again, that darn breath-attack damage falloff.  So to do real damage you have to get pretty close to the Titan and risk getting chomped or tailslapped, or else face killing it taking forever.

I think ice beam needs an adjustment. Not a nerf - just the damage comes from being on a target for longer (good for pve, easier for pvp)

So like a stacking debuff or something on the target that only serves to make it take increased damage from the breath attack as it stacks higher?  That doesn't sound too bad.

Exactly. I think it would fix most of the problems, while not nerfing it down for PvE content aswell. Its meant to be an agile mount so a skilled rider could still use it well.
