*KENTRO DOESN’T SUCK ANYMORE* it got a 33% hp buff, 25% turn buff, and 20% damage buff. The buffs might not apply to some community servers but they do to officials. I just uploaded this video because I was already halfway done with it when the buffs came out and decided to go on with it because why not. Also, the model is very nice. Every complaint I’ve seen is just people not understanding stegosaur anatomy lol. Can’t wait to see stego’s TLC when it gets one (it better get one) Anyway, please subscribe.

[@Indoraptoad]

[@andrewlevesque3468]

Ok im confused, does it suck or doesn't it?

[@TAGameplay]

The thing that frustrates me in the conca/kent fights in particular is the insane difference in bleed values. Conca is applying a lot of bleed you your kent, averaging between 20-30 seconds. The kent was only applying 10-15 seconds, if that. For a creature with a fully dedicated bleed to damage build, its not doing a lot of bleed (i know thats just regular tail swings, but still, i feel like it should be doing more on those base swings). Conca could make a better use of detonate compared to kent.

[@rylan89]

But Kent has detonate turning bleed into raw damage conc doesn't. Making Kent's bleed more dangerous

[@TAGameplay]

@@rylan89 it can be more dangerous if it can actually stack it well. Since the changes after the patch, I'm not sure if it's bleed values were adjusted to be more but in the state shown in the video, running detonate would only add a very small sliver of damage. It wouldn't really be worth the tail slot.

[@AntiSimpTrooper-175]

​@@TAGameplay I've seen it if the opponent had most of health dark red and the Kent or miragaia used it. It can take all that dark red health away. So the dino can not recover that portion of the health anymore

[@Masterbeta05]

Yea I agree with ya it feels like they reduced kentros overall bleed since the normal tail attack deals about 10 seconds of bleed each hit, ik that the charged tail swing gives 20-25 seconds bleed each hit when it used to do more, and that's with the new max bleed damage build

[@Masterbeta05]

​@rylan89 from what I've tested playing kentro the only time where detonate was good was against things that have absolutely terrible bleed resistance (sarco, pachy, sucho, etc.) It's honestly better just running Tail attack and Tail swing

[@Remhad]

“Reflect damage” my ass. Nothing should be able to face tank a tail full of spikes and win. 💀

[@PlaceriasIF]

The problems I see are, the basic tail attack is absurdly slow, and I don't know why it feels less agile than before.

The tlc for me has definitely been a mixed bag for me, Kent definitely could have done with more unique abilities (compared to mira) and the dino definitely feels awkward to use. I will say that the one thing that kinda makes Kent unique from mira is that its detonate is actually usable solo unlike Mira’s slow af constipation aoe. Also I saw the stat thing you pinned, so imma test how good Kent is now after this roller coaster of an update week.

Anyone else find the directional tail attacks more inconvenient at times?

[@ZestyTime233]

Yup - It really bothers me that camera angle is important in landing attacks now, but Precise Movement forces the camera forward and away from your tail 💀 Some fights go so fast, having to spend that extra second or two to re-adjust your camera angle can be costly/distraction - Kinda wish they'd left tail attacks alone tbh

[@albedo4264]

Some attention-seeking clown told me that it is a "skill issue". But it IS a skill ISSUE: now you need MORE skill with kentro to do the same amount of damage (per time) than before. And you need more skill due to directional attacks as well as awkward camera, especially in confined spaces or when facing a group of enemies around you. Anyway, kentro is just a weird looking spiky dinosaur who is now less fun to play, more difficult to master, while having worse stats than before (slower, less agile). Why would I even want to learn to play this trash dinosaur? Styra will rip it apart, while being faster, more agile, easier to master, with actually "cool" attack like charge, and even looking overall aesthetically pleasing. Miragaia though is absolutely disgusting, I KOS them whenever I can.

[@hunyadacrazy]

Lonely isle best fight zone

[@concamon1364]

The devs really nerfed Kentro 3 times in a row 😭

[@albedo4264]

All the so-called "TLC's" (whatever they even mean) are awful, disgusting even. It speaks of the different direction the developers are taking: from at least maintain a facade of semi-realistic dinosaurs, to straight up fantasy. Fantasy-oriented "roles", as if that should have anything to do with dinosaurs. Absurd fantasy or even modern-themed abilities like detonate. Detonate, really? Miragaia especially looks, behaves and even sounds egregious, artificial and amateur. Now, I have been playing the game for the last 2 years at the most, so perhaps this was always the intended direction. It just sucks for solo players or anyone looking for not-MMORPG type of a dinosaur game. As for Kentro, I haven't played it in quite some time, but half a year ago and before the last nerf it was very strong and capable, a worthy dinosaur for a solo player. After the nerf, when they reduced its turn rate, kentro became much weaker, but perhaps it was warranted considering how strong it was before. As for this "tlc", I'm staying away from it for now since I despise all the new changes and additions. P.s. Rhamph is another hideous dinosaur.

[@arivs6564]

[@skeeeeet5954]

it has the same issue as mira, no point in using any other build that isnt the one that buffs itself only go death rattle, only go regular tail and heavy tail. Never go denoate youre trolling. Only go the blood sense that increases over all damage. Its too squishy, needs a little more speed, low bleed despite being a bleeder, its stam its saving grace same issue as before, gets replaced by some other dino doing the same job. Its the dino that also only benifits from team play. edit : WHY DOESNT KENTRO HAVE AN AOE TAIL SWING TO GUARD ITS FRONT LIKE MIRA, WHO IS USING A 180 TURN?? its not worth to run at all.

[@Indoraptoad]

@@skeeeeet5954 kentro (after the buffs) does fine solo and is by no means a solely group playable. Death rattle is overall better but the spin is better against other 2 slots. Plus, if basic tail did a lot of bleed, Kentro would go back to being cancerous to fight against, so I don’t mind charged tail being the main source of bleed. Also, full bleed detonate 6-7 shots rex, so it’s not really a meme pick like on miragaia

A sentiment a friend of mine shared is that kentro should either be faster or tankier and that's a sentiment I agree with. It needs to be tankier for sure, I'll settle with it being a bit slower if they would buff it's turn speed again. Even with the TLC, kentro just isn't fun to play

[@colony.]

saw you on lost exiles, mid server ngl

[@Indoraptoad]

@@colony. yeah I don’t like it but juniper is broken so oh well

[@SkieShauphen]

So, while I personally don't think the tlc made Kent much bette, ( It's always struggled since the speed nerf. ) I think there is definitely some potential in it now. It's nice to have another herbi bleeder to pair with stego outside of Styra. The main issue I see is players not running away from fights. Like seriously, Kent is not a brawler. You have to apply some bleed and then escape. They outheal the crap out of everything now. 60% bonus healing is INSANE. To win fights you have to make your opponent chase you. Just like Mira, if they don't burst you down immediately you can escape and heal while they still have bleed and a slower heal rate. It's a battle of attrition. Not very exciting but that's just how to play to Kent's strengths.

[@ahumanoidtroodon1074]

It’s hilarious that even with a 1.5x healing hide and a general-resistence-to-literally-every-status-effect-in-the-game hide, Kentro is STILL less op than when it had a 5% speed buff hide 😭😭😭

Kent itself isn’t that bad currently it’s just its performance is dependent on what build your running. Also the part where you put “it’s not a skill issue” doesn’t really work when the conc was purposely biting the tip of your tail like how many do to stego so that conc is actually playing smart

[@bossturner9540]

Raptor was good, Kentro was good, cera was good now the gone

[@MrTickles445]

Kent needs a slight hp buff but mainly damage buff

[@razorian100]

The problem with Alderon is that they are trying to make slow creatures bleeders, where bleeding in this game requires you to be fast if you wanna deal damage with it, mainly. You simply cannot afford to trade hits to apply bleed on targets who deal more raw damage to you, since your bleed is dealing the same damage way slower, causing all bleeders in this game to become endurance fighters that can hit-and-run, kentro cannot be that endurance fighter, it takes 5 attacks from you to deal the same amount of damage to an enemy that can do it in 1 bite, so imagine having to trade hits with that said enemy every time you try to hit them, it's just not working out. And I'm talking about trading hits specifically because their stats suck, they turn wider than a boat, their speed is meh, so everything can tail nibble you till death. Same issue with Miragaia to be honest, I still think miras are way too squishy for their niche it's like trying to turn a spino into a dedicated bleeder, but keeping its speed the same, how well do you think spinos would fair against anything else that's the same size with it?

[@razorian100]

Exceptions always exist aka iggy, they have bleed but their raw damage and DPS is great nonetheless so they don't suffer the same
