velonasaurs are awesome

[jacob99]

so i tamed a velonsaur.
it seems to mow down even rexes very quickly even with out being breed and imprint
me thinking "wow its turret mode drains barely any stamina and appears to have a range of 15 foundations( untested but seems like it) and mows down things so quick! what could that close range aoe attack that uses tons one stamina possibly do!.............."

hits for 896 twice in an instant(dont know if it hits more, the dino i attacked died from just the 2)
my fully leveled (37 into melee) max imprinted MUTATED tek rex that was breed from a high melee tek rex that was 180 wild and has 1.4k melee(off the top of my head) hits for 1052, this velonsaur thats not fully level (30 melee) was 130 wild, and not breed or imprinted, hit for 892 twice in an instant..... WOW. they are ascininely strong, still hope they DONT get nerfed thou, i like strong dinos. dont want it to become useless

Edit: a high level turtle was able to be hit 4 times to the shell in an instant by using the attack once (it could only survive the 4 hits, dont know how many times tthe attack hits becaus eevrything dies before its over lol) 4x 892 is 3200 total, my imprint giga only hits for 2.5k so ya there that.

except the fact that you cant spam it unlike the rex (rex being consistent dps)

well you can it, just uses alot of stamina, although considering that it does 3k in a quarter of a second and can be used continously for around 7 seconds (3k stamian,pump mainly stamina and melee), it would most likely kill most things but a wild giga before it ran out of stamina, doesnt take to long to regn stamina any, its general dps is insanely high.

One mowed Botany's argent down in a heartbeat, then shot her out of the air as she plummited to the ground. Then shot at me. If I hadn't been scraping the deck at the time, it would have vaped my ptera and me on it.

Let's compare it to the tek and bullet turrets? Those go bang... bang... bang...

This thing goes Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack

And they do it forever. or it seems like it when you're the target.

that's how I know they'll be nerfed. They're too much better than the high level solutions we already have.

Haha I watched a video today about these guys and the dude was hilarious about the sounds it makes: Brrrrra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!!!!!! :D You just reminded me of that :D

I have 7 of them and my 2 friends ride one as I do as well. They are seriously OP and I know the nerf bat is coming so I'll enjoy it while I can. Can't wait to see what these babies can do vs a Titan with a bit of Rex Meatshield Support.

Pros of Vels
Rapid fire armor bypass bullets (does considerably more damage when ridden I've got one level 226 all damage that hits for 446 while ridden compared to 20 when in turret mode)
Decent health
Decent stamina
Has a 360° AOE attack that seems to do more damage when HP is lower? Can't confirm just yet but the numbers seem inconsistent

Cons
Very slow Dino
Burns stamina really fast
Kind of a Glass Cannon but a damn good one.
It's gonna be nerfed as its basically an unsoakable turret.

used it on brontos, also found and tamed a level 145 male, goign to try to breed them.

well it can be sniped out of range so as a turret , it is easily killed. also seems to be between a low and medium turret, be good as an inside turret thou

I never read information on these DLC's and prefer to explore and find out stuff by myself which usually means flying around on a ptera and saying hello to the new creatures, I mean what can go wrong, I am in the air............owned hard hehehe.

[Kromster]

i dont mean to make fun of people or mean anything by this but i have a chuckle everytime i see peoples screen shots of them enjoying ark and its so blurry/pixelated i feel sorry for you bros ><

Just came to my mind looking at old mates screen shot above <3

[NotDylan7055]

Anyone think using the OP bug of picking up Velonasaurs with a ptera would be a great strategy against titans? Like the forest titan, just drop some on turret mode into little nooks on cliffs, the forest titan can't hit them and they can machine gun it. Anyone else think that would be the most op way to kill it? I haven't tried killing it yet, so half joking half asking if this is a good strategy.

Velonas can't shoot while in the air. Neither jump nor grab works, at least for me. Like Chalis'.

Sadly their use as turrets is very limited. To low range, and damage. Fixed 20 damage as it seems.

I'm trying to figure out why Wildcard thought these would be appropriate as is, in a private PVE server we're having a blast with them...but I cannot see the reasoning to suggest they're even remotely balanced for PVP.

Well, they are only good when controlled by a rider. but yeah, then they are amazing.
But as turrets they are entirely useless. Especially after the last patch... fixed 20 dmg and now 1 volley and they are out of stamina, not matter what... add in the low range... and they are turd-tier as turrets or even guardians because they are so slow.

They're quite fun, and OP
