Jaguars

These have to be nerfed. The damage is insane. I lost two of my best warriors today to being randomly one shot by them. I fight them fine, I have tamed cubs fine, but I will be riding my mount and one I might miss in the brush jumps out and locks onto me, claws the mess out of me and kills me with almost 1k hp and bone armor. They are easy enough to fight, but this locking on thing is out of whack on damage.

Get the skill lets you detect enemies noticing you for the love of god. And then learn to fight them they only scarry the first time you fight them after that its really really easy to predict their attacks and their worst one is a lung that stuns they back up and do an animations to prep I don't have to dodge roll it, I can jsut side step it. I killed with bow, and melee weapons I just keep side stepping and attacking then they swip and miss most the time then do that jumb back and side step stalk you second they stop side steping change directions they are about to pounce on you sigh...

They don't need to be nerfed they some easiest creatures to fight in game in my opinion once you learn how they fight, the stupid dogs are still to this day most annoying like crodile is the worst for me to mellee or the anacanda that wraps you, its why fight those with a bow now, but the jagaur i haven't died to them since my first encounter with one becuase agin their worst attack is the most telegraphed attack in the game and you just use A or D to move out the way lol

They are easy to fight. I am riding on my mount and one I might miss literally clips to me and stunlock and kills me without a chance to fight back. I have that skill unlocked. I've also tamed jaguars, I have also fought and killed jaguars. Those are not my issues. My issue is if I am riding a mount, and they just suddenly lock onto me, do that rapid attack and give me absolutely no chance to fight back with almost 1k hp and bone armor, they need to be nerfed. Get off your high horse, acting so high and mighty like your god. The damage output is bonkers with that attack.

Take heed of the old proverb: "Don't ride a llama into jaguar's den."

[Toana]

Thats why i dont ride mounts in this game, while they sounds good, they are dangerous, i rather run everywhere and then even if i get jumped by jaguar or hawk or wolfs or w/e i always can easly defend myself

Good for you, hasn't been the experience for me. I continue running, it locks onto me, and one shots me

Bone double swords of tier 4 + level 20 + leather armor + take some hp buff food.
That way i kill them rather easy by just spamming F-button of basic double-swords skill.
Another way is to climb rock, remove around 2/3 they hp with arrows, and then slide down and finish them off with melee, you can't kill them fully with bow, as bastards run away and regen.

I personally think it's bug. I also ride month, then jaguar one shoted me though normally they don't, and i had full 1k hp.

When you get to the Jaguar area, you should have upgraded your mask as much as possible beforehand. This can be done by farming the ancient ruins. If you head north along the river, you can also easily reach the top copper mine. Together with the tin from the lower mine, you can then build bronze armor and equipment. So far, however, I'm still using bone armor and weapons. I personally only use the double swords and bluntly press F. This works reasonably well against jaguars. Even if you're traveling around mounted. You just have to avoid panicking and be prepared to take a hit. When I hold it, I'm at about half to a quarter of life after I've defeated a jaguar. After that, a quick bandage or two and I'm on my way.

The way I see it in Stream, you just have to be able to dodge and have the right skills.
With the NPCs you can't expect them to react fast enough. I find it amazing how they can move and fight.
Of course they are tough and you should be equipped accordingly.

[turk0gamer]

they are no problem with bronze tier weapon and armor

[Rogue]

They are fine as it is, since they are the top predators at that level range and you did not die.

There are numerous fake hyperbole threads about getting 1 shot, but it's not true for beast bone gear. It's more like newbie panic due to surprise and death soon follows while he fumbles and jag continues clawing away. Same thing with anacondas...

If truly has serious skill problem then there's always the casual mode difficulty and beyond.

[GhrominIronfist]

They already nerfed them heavily from the beta, average level in the jungle is way down and they dont spam their dodge and leap anymore, also the combat speed is way up and you can dodge at anytime now. You can also still just stick to their side/back amd they cant hit you.

[Raptor]

Mark them on the map, and avoid them. What's the problem here. Play the game gitgud noob. Level up and get stronger
