Morellatops Attack buff

What do you mean 174 damage at 500% melee???? That's one of the most depressing things I've ever seen c'mon.
Y'all did the herbies dirty

Just don't understand why you would do this. What HP does your 500% morello have more than likely you put next to none in it or you are fighting things way beyond its ability. The point in the game is to make and find tames capable of defending themselves. Seen plenty of brontos kill Rexes.

There is a food chain and Apex predators for a reason. Even a bad Morello is tanky with 4-5k HP and can kill anything other than say a rex or maybe and allo in its level range unless your riding it then it should easily kill those with 500 Melee at 174 damage. A wild level 100 Rex doesn't have that output and usually doesn't even have 5k HP. so with you riding and spamming attack you should easily outpace its damage and with a good saddle you will take little to no damage.

Have thousands of hours in both ASE and ASA as a breeder and know all the animals inside and out. I get you want to play your single player game wanting to run around crushing things on your Morello but there is a order to things for a reason. Not hating on you just making a point. Had a good friend in ASE who was the same Paracerathierum was his favorite ride so he boosted it in single player nothing wrong with that just not the real game play experience.

It took far far too long to kill a level 30 sabertooth, that's the origin of this whole conversation, it didn't take that long in ASE from what I remember, it's been a minute
My morello is 313

How long did it take you to kill the sabertooth?

I didn't have a timer, but it took longer than it should've I know that for sure, I was spam hitting the thing and it just wouldn't die, especially level 30 vs 174 damage per hit
But given ark's (apparently true, according to google) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of herbivores having a 40% damage reduction against carnivores I guess that would do it

Well, if we split 29 level ups between Health, Stam, Food, Oxygen, Weight, Melee, he would on average have 5 points in health, which would equal 250 (base) + 50 (per level) = 500 health.

That is 3 hits to kill a level 30 sabertooth. Mate boost would have increased it to 4 hits.

All I can suggest is to play a little more. You will soon discover there is no issue here that needs fixed.

It unfortunately took a lot more than that, for some odd reason, even with the damage reduction it would've taken 5 hits, but it took more than that as well
I guess this one is always gonna be a bit of a mystery

im just going to throw a wild guess out there that the saber wasn't solo.. as most of the time they are not.. and you killed his friend.. then mid battle he ate his friend getting full HP again.. mystery solved..

Damage reduction takes place before the number is shown, which means the number you see is the number you deal. By the way, the damage reduction you're referring to is applied to WILD herbivores attacking tamed or wild carnivores. So that isn't even a factor here.

What the other guy said is probably accurate, the saber ate corpses while fighting you which massively heals wild carnivores.

That would lend some validity to the story, but you haven't mentioned that. Currently as it stands, the story cannot be true. I think it's grossly exaggerated, maybe to try to justify overtuning a starter dino using your config, but who knows.

Yeah it could be exaggerated, but not intentionally, it was like a week ago and my memory is either great or terrible, and in this case, terrible
What I remember most is sitting there smacking it like "WHY is this taking so long to kill this aint right" and it was enough hits to make me wonder if stats had been changed or if there was something wrong with the server
Your doubts are valid though I get it
