Allosaurus vs. Rex
It seems to me that the Allosaurus has the potential for far higher DPS (not including the bleed which doesn't work, I know) on bosses than the Rex, why aren't they considered a viable alternative?

allos have a lower health pool compared to what rexes can get to.

Dps wont matter because they wont burst the bosses so they'll die.

Adds more quality information to good point.

Essentially just reworded the first good reply poorly by implying a low health pool rather than stating it outright.

I get slightly annoyed by people who apparently don't read replies (it's different had their been 20+responses)
Okay my rant is done.

Now for my reply I think they could be used, but to effectively utilize them you would have to have something else to tank for them because of the low health pool stated above. That being said it is my belief that properly executed they could make boss fights "easier" by dealing damage faster. The problem it's it would take some great deal of positioning and skill to keep them above versus a Rex that can track for themselves. Now I could be totally wrong as I'm using logic, and not experience as I've never attempted to use them in a boss fight.

Actually what Ive said is not exaclty the same as others did.

If they could burst the bosses which is not possible, becuase bosses have an insane amount of hp.

If bosses didnt have that hp pool wont matter how much hp Allos have, you would loose a few but you would win very quickly.

So your rant is just nonsense.
