[Suggestion] Nerf the bears

3 votes

So sick and tired of getting ganked by bears… they need a hard nerf. They make it nearly impossible to do anything you run into one even at lvl 20 with iron weapons, a longbow and bone arrows you’re just dead. Not a fun mechanic and is killing the fun and progress.

The problem with bears, is really two fold. They have large health pools and they do a LOT of damage in a single attack. You either have to do more than they do, or dodge them. Learn to stealth when you hear them. Find out where they are, and go somewhere else. You don't have to fight a bear unless you get too close. Bears are easier than polar bears. Their attacks can be avoided, if you are fast. If you have not done so, take a look at youtube. Otherwise, just learn to avoid them when you hear them.

This is what I used to think. Now I kill bears left and right like they are nothing.
First thing is that you should see them first. (You can kill them if they see you first but you have some good buffs/talents/weapons but that should not be needed)
If you play with sound, you will always hear bears roar in the distance when you are in their territory, long before you meet them. That should put you in awareness mode, looking around for them, switching from running to stealth when you think you are at risk.
If you see them first and headshot them from health at least half their hp is gone. Rest should be easy.
I think I killed over 30 bears last mission and I got hit a total of 2 times by them. Both times, when they saw me first and I had to react fast.
