[@chrisallum9044]

The thing you missed about the bronto is that its dead body blocks turrets. So you go up, die and then you can walk through it to the turrets only getting hit on the other side. You can block an entire wall. just don't harvest it lol

[@nikron4400]

then you can also say that a giga is a good soaker lol

[@VitoVaram]

Doesnt count as a good soaker if...its not even gonna be used for soaking

[@Beanpolr]

@@VitoVaram It is though? Soaking doesn't necessarily imply it has to be alive. It just has to soak up bullets.

[@berserker9501]

​@@Beanpolri believe soaking is drying the turrets of their bullets so in that regard bronto=useless... They nerfed him so badly to oblivion like what were they thinking

[@xXBMWVXx]

I rewatched the dodic pooping a few times over, idk why it was so funny to me but it had me rolling 😂😂 thanks for the helpful tips teach! Started breeding diplos last week because of your other video! Can’t wait to get a sick soaker!

[@1986trinder]

Diplos are good if used correctly, 2 diplo and 4 turtles whistled at a wall will give you plenty of time to run in with a stego and take out turrets, using diplos in this manner can protect the steggo rider from player only tek turrets giving them the opportunity to take them out in no time

[@dannyzius777]

[@matthewvandusen1943]

Megatherium w/ bug buff is pretty great - early game soaker especially since you can get high armor premade saddles super easy

[@bobbobbyson1]

something you dont measure tho, not all bases are built on flat land. trikes with skiffs an gasbags are notorious raid powerhouses. trikes fit into tinier crevices, important if you intend to raid cave bases (the current pvp building meta) or ratholes. a gasbags in the lunar biome on genesis becomes incredibly potent too, but they have the ability to get places most tames cant without a skiff and this is an INVALUABLE thing when raiding high up bases.

racers are s tier as well for sure, gachas probably could be added to C tier as well because they can be good for online raids in specific situations against people with flyers mainly

When I first started I didn't realize how good the stego was or how pvp it was. I made alot people uneasy cause I was always going out taming stegos cause I like the dino lol

I love stegos there super good On the boosted i play atleast

[@alshee356]

A few weeks ago I'd just started on an official server and only had a steggo and 2 argies, logged on to find my base destroyed and all dinos missing. Found my argies first started searching for steggo, eventually found him being slowly killed by someone on a 260 wyvern, flew over and the moment I got there my steggo just grabbed it and drained it's energy, ended up killing the wyvern and surviving the attack from the much stronger player all because of my steggo

[@jayburn100]

You made no one uneasy.

[@Sid3M4n]

Trike and Pachyrhinosaurus ( you forget this one) are easy to tame and fast and easy to breed. If you bring them in pair, mate boosted, imprinted, and you bring also a yuty to roar at them all the time, they take a very low dmg from front . so dont forget, imprint, mate boosted and buffed by yuty.

I just raided a base today with some number i had a 150 trike saddle imprinted tek did 4 and heavy 5 dmg with yuti buff it because 3 tek and 4 heavy without inprint it because 12 and 13 with yuti buf and 14 and 16 without buff

Personally I'd say the achatina is ATLEAST B teir, since they became breedable they've been a saving grace against rat holes, a few you've missed tho, megachelon, paracer, pachyrhino, stryder, astrocetus, and magmasaur (probably a few I've missed too ngl 😂 I've just listed dinos I've soaked with)

[@ninja19705]

I mean I soaked a base with a snow owl one time 😂 but cant believe he forgot paracers

[@boomerbray7443]

I was playing a very boosted server on rag doing a raid with my friends and we didn't have many soakers left so I sent in a Diplo without a saddle and there were so many bullets flying at that thing the sever crashed and when we got back on there were no bullets in any turret

[@OpinionatedZoomer69]

[@thegunnednoob]

Carbonemys can be riden with a saddle that increases the dmg reduction along with you being able to ride them

[@spicychicken9009]

If you get lucky with reaper king, it can have 150 max hp with official settings (except imprint - 2x when I tested that) and full imprint

[@cedrickmichaud6933]

Are you drunk?

[@-NB7979-]

Actually Reaper's tank ability is not that good compared to other well-breed and high-saddled dino, because Reaper's natural damage resistant is just equal to 100 armour saddle when facing against turrets (both regular and tek). I would put Reaper on B or C tier.

[@patrickflo8048]

i would prob but up carbo 1 and rock golem, and reaper and titan 1down, dont get me wrong titan can soak, but who actually tames it

[@sampiew]

[@GerrerGerrerson]

Idk why, but when the doedicurus he is in his shell, the damage turrets deal against him will increase. So doedi is one of the worst soaker ever.

[@viktorreznov5685]

Any tips on raiding ice cave on island? These guys are major griefers and most of the server is together against em, but we keep dying. Too small for stegos to walk in, maybe we just cryo in stegos, but even then they die pretty quick. Should I just keep popping stegos to run them out of ammo?

[@yukikuran911]

Now it would be funny to see someone rush a base with a bright yellow diplo and have it named the magic school bus

[@kylewilson5892]

So happy to see the diplo appreciation here 👍🏻 watched a video trying to say its the worst tame 😂😂

[@viktorreznov5685]

My Tek rexes have 120k health, I like soaking while ripping enemy tames apart, also dang op for bosses

[@dynamiteskye9007]

I have on average a dozen wild stegos around my base at all times and have tamed 20 max levels and 13 over max tek stegos. Ever since I saw them unintentionally protect my base from arthros and rexes, I keep their population high and am working on breeding super stegos. Thanks for the video, I can use it to convince my basemate I'm being smart instead of suffering from a stego addiction.

[@zacharyneedham6044]

This has nothing to do with tier list but I was wondering if you could test out an idea I got for fighting pvp flyers. Tame a Gigantopithecus and a micro raptor and you can ride the Gigantopithecus and use it to pick up the micro raptor and throw it way up in the air and make it knock off/stun the rider and finish them on foot?

[@LameAssScreamoSinger]

I'm gunna try this now if you haven't yet

[@blackoutgaming6394]

At least on gen2 with the wild reaper kings, they can enrage an unimprinted giga with just about 10 hits or so.

[@Coo-tk5kn]

tek rex could honestly be A or S tier because of how good it is against tek walls with a tek saddle with racers or stego riders ahead of it just to clear tek turrets, doorframes, and even break into the gen boxes and break those too

[@OpinionatedZoomer69]

Damage output dino tier list? (There would probably need to be multiple parts because there's different ways to categorize damage output)

[@TeachersGameToo]

I can work on it

[@tommallmann6480]

At which tier you would put Paracer?

[@LordRazer3]

5 mouths later and think's to the Desmodus craft sanguine elixir adding 30% imprinting to creature's that can't be breed yet like the basilisk making them just that much better

How u gonna leave out the racer and put diplo with stego

[@warlord5295]

Paracers are s tier plus if you build on the platform saddle right you can use it to blow up walls.

[@sethwesley6268]

you forgot the gods of water raiding, basil, and megachelon, automatic s tier, the megachelon allowing you to place 6 stegos on its back and another 10 or so below and just infinitely tank turrets from all directions, and the basil for getiting into those under water pesky ratholes

[@GrandORdEr40]

Does the Tek Stego have any weird interactions with Tek turrets or is the Tek level buff a pure positive

[@NoobMaster-vl7vd]

Pure positive

[@Gordonizon]

You remind me of Shaun from speed cube review he’s also a teacher

[@Spinosaur101]

Wow, I'm relatively new to Ark, but I would've expected the Bronto to be slightly better than useless, lol I've been playing Ark for a couple years, but there's still so much to learn, and I personally haven't ever tamed a Bronto, just because I haven't really needed to and Sauropods take up so much space. I know they're definitely not a good utility dino, but what makes them a worse damage sponge than, say, a Paraceratherium? Is it the hit box size, lack of mobility, no reduced damage, or-?? I'm assuming it's a combination of reasons, but I do want to know

[@unitard9701]

theres a lot of ways paracer can be built into a box to soak or basically take no damage at all, but yes , breeding requires a lot of space so kinda pain

[@CrimsonCr0wn]

Racers should move into this Tier list. When they have their heads up and a Box, they are pretty good. I am missing Megachelons too. Like you mentioned multiple times, it depends on the situation. You always have to keep in mind, that turrets shoot you off the mount. Or Bloodstalkers reel you in. So a Diplo is only good without Riders. Reaper Kings are more like a B Tier Dino. You can counter them with Light and you sit up very high on them. Also worth a mention, but not high Tier are pachyrhinos. As long as they havent been nerfed. And I am a bit confused that you made a Video about the Amargasaurs being a good soaker but now they are missing. They are similair to Diplos. What about Quetzals? Or Basilos for underwater Action? I think tactics are better to blow up towers/bases than purely soaking every bullet. I would simply say that the Video needs an upgrade combined with some testing :)
