OUGINAK REWORK GUIDE (1.77)
By Barinade#8773 - MEMBER - October 04, 2022, 21:21:31The Ouginak rework just came out and I've made a guide from my experience on the beta and from my general game knowledge. Hopefully it'll be helpful.
GENERAL
This new Ouginak has new mechanics built around Prey and Were-Ouginak, so you will need to learn them in order to properly play the class.
FURY: You will now generate FURY from several different methods
TRACKER: You will now generate TRACKER from a couple of methods
WERE-OUGINAK: This state has multiple uses:
BOW WOW: This little guy follows you around and helps you out.
There are 5 builds that I believe are viable with this new rework:
BRUTALITY
This build uses area+melee and no poisons. It will use the BRUTALITY rune and focus on hitting multiple enemies as much as possible.
ANATOMY
This build uses full rear mastery and no poisons. It will use the ANATOMY rune and focus on taking down enemies one at a time from high backstab turns.
HYBRID
This build uses melee/st mastery with direct damage, and can also use poisons. It will use the STEADFAST rune and focus on alternating between poisons and direct damage.
POISON
This build uses elemental mastery to deal high poison damage. It will use the ELEMENTAL CONCENTRATION or INFLEXIBLE II rune to focus its air mastery.
TANK
This build uses defensive stats and force of will to remove MP from enemies.

...
Relentless
Brutality: ☆☆☆
Anatomy: ☆☆☆
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ★★★
Tank: ★★★
A passive which trades damage for extra Force of Will and the ability to gain FURY when removing MP from a target. This also applies when applying poisons with the WISE STRENGTH passive, however, the Force of Will is useless in that case as the WISE STRENGTH passive no-longer allows you to remove MP.
...
Open Season
Brutality: ★★★
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ★★☆
Tank: ★☆☆
A passive which trades maximum FURY for the ability to gain FURY and TRACKER immediately when attacking the PREY. It's good for any build which desires to deal damage as soon as possible.

Tank: ★☆☆
A passive which trades 20% DI while transformed for 3 MAX WP. Feels useless for most builds as the core purpose of the class is to deal damage, you're much better off wearing equipment that grants WP instead and using the passive slot on something else.
...
Ardor
Brutality: ★★★
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★★★
Poison: ★☆☆
Tank: ★★★
A passive which trades 1 MAX MP for 30% melee DI when ending your turn next to the PREY. It's generally easy to trigger, but for the poison build, the melee DI will only trigger if they are within 2 cells of you regardless of mastery type.

Hybrid: ★☆☆
Poison: ★☆☆
Tank: ★★★
A passive which trades some damage for defensive stats including: 30% armor received, 400% of level as max HP, and the ability to gain 12% of your MAX HP as armor if you start your turn next to your PREY. Not super useful unless you find yourself in desperate need of extra survivability.

...
Tailing
Brutality: ★☆☆
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★☆☆
Poison: ☆☆☆
Tank: ☆☆☆
A passive which gives you +20% rear DI and +1 MP but restricts PREY to be cast only behind the target. This makes it harder to get the rear of the target since you wont be able to cast PREY and SURGE to switch with the target. Also hard to hit multiple targets from behind with AOE and generally not useful for a poison build either, as it can't use REAR DI on poisons.
...
Sniff
Brutality: ☆☆☆
Anatomy: ★☆☆
Hybrid: ★★★
Poison: ★★★
Tank: ★★★
A passive which doubles the cost of PREY to 2 WP but causes it to deal poison damage immediately and at the start of each turn of the PREY. It's a significant increase in base damage per turn if you can afford the extra WP cost.
...
Canine Art
Brutality: ☆☆☆
Anatomy: ☆☆☆
Hybrid: ★★★
Poison: ★★★
Tank: ★★★

...
Carnage
Brutality: ★★★
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★★★
Poison: ★★★
Tank: ☆☆☆
A good passive for anybody trying to deal damage, but also a good spell to replace if you need more sustain. The -healing will not affect any of your self healing or lifesteal.
...
Burrow
Brutality: ★★★
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ☆☆☆
Tank: ★☆☆
A passive which forces you and the BOW WOW to switch places at the start of each of your turns. This passive will open up your BOW WOW to better positioning during fights, and yourself to repositioning during the end of your BOW WOW's turn. However, the passive will do nothing if either you or the BOW WOW are stabilized.
...
Cunning Fang
Brutality: ★★☆
Anatomy: ★★☆
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ★★☆
Tank: ★★☆
An incredibly strong passive which gives you +20% block, and the ability to trade all your block into crit (the block is lost) while transformed. This can be useful as long as you build specifically for it (for example, 10 crit and 90 block while using STEADFAST epic rune).
...
Canine Tracker
Brutality: ★★★
Anatomy: ★★★
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ★☆☆
Tank: ★★★
A passive which allows you to generate TRACKER faster by ending your turn next to the PREY, and also trades all of the DI from TRACKER into 2 resistance per TRACKER level. It's a massive loss in DI, although, you can choose not to end next to the PREY to get your DI back for the next turn. However, if you combine this passive with OPEN SEASON, your TRACKER stacks will be converted back to DI when you hit your PREY. You could then simply end next to the PREY again to get resistance. That combo makes this passive worth taking in some scenarios, however, you would lose out on DI for poisons outside of your turn.
...
Wise Strength
Brutality: ☆☆☆
Anatomy: ☆☆☆
Hybrid: ★★☆
Poison: ★★★
Tank: ★☆☆
A passive which causes your MP reduction spells to apply a poison of 10% of your level each time you attempt to remove MP. However, your spells will no-longer remove MP anymore.
...
Dog Handler
Brutality: ★★☆
Anatomy: ☆☆☆
Hybrid: ☆☆☆
Poison: ☆☆☆
Tank: ★☆☆
A passive which causes your BOW WOW to copy each of your spell casts on the same target, so long as he can reach and has line-of-sight on it. It's potentially very strong if you have the team to help you set it up, but otherwise it will be a burden. Poison spells will not stack with themselves, and the BOW WOW will no longer be able to cast any spells whatsoever. He also doesn't get any of your DI, meaning his damage output will be very low.
...
GENERAL
This new Ouginak has new mechanics built around Prey and Were-Ouginak, so you will need to learn them in order to properly play the class.
FURY: You will now generate FURY from several different methods
- At the end of your turn, you will gain +15 FURY if you've hit the PREY.
- Alternatively, the OPEN SEASON passive will grant it instantly on hit.
- ASSIMILATION (passive) grants +4 FURY per poison trigger
- RELENTLESS (passive) grants +4 FURY per MP reduction
- PURSUIT grants +10 FURY when successfully jumping
- SNIFFING (Bow Wow) grants +5 FURY when cast on an ally
TRACKER: You will now generate TRACKER from a couple of methods
- Each 1 Level grants +1% Damage Inflicted (max +60%)
- At the end of your turn, +15 TRACKER if you have struck the PREY.
- Alternatively, the OPEN SEASON passive will grant it instantly on hit.
- CANINE TRACKING (passive) grants +10 TRACKER if you end next to the PREY.
- It also changes the effect to +2 Resist per level if you do this.
WERE-OUGINAK: This state has multiple uses:
- You will gain +50% Damage Inflicted while this state persists
- You will consume 1 FURY per AP/WP you spend on elemental spells
- When returning to normal, you will get all of your WP back.
- You can cast it while at 0 FURY to instantly get all your WP back.
- It has a 3 turn cooldown.
- Some passives will give extra effects while in this state.
BOW WOW: This little guy follows you around and helps you out.
- You control him
- He gets 6 AP, 4 MP
- He gets 30% of your MAX HP, your resistance, your dodge, your WP, and your mastery.
- He does NOT get your DI or passives.
- He can cast all elemental, WP cost spells you have in your deck.
- FLAIL (HP stolen goes to the OUGINAK instead)
- BRAWL (the state is applied until the end of his next turn)
- PUGNACITY (the poison is applied by the OUGINAK)
There are 5 builds that I believe are viable with this new rework:
BRUTALITY
This build uses area+melee and no poisons. It will use the BRUTALITY rune and focus on hitting multiple enemies as much as possible.

A passive which causes your BOW WOW to copy each of your spell casts on the same target, so long as he can reach and has line-of-sight on it. It's potentially very strong if you have the team to help you set it up, but otherwise it will be a burden. Poison spells will not stack with themselves, and the BOW WOW will no longer be able to cast any spells whatsoever. He also doesn't get any of your DI, meaning his damage output will be very low.

and so on...(Too many IFs to follow)
but even if you collect all the dmg inf. buffs, turns out damage you do is not much higher than what you did pre-revamp. And at this point player questions himself: - "why struggle with ouginak if i can chose iop/sram/enu/etc. and possibly deal more dmg for less effort".
I'm playing brutality ougi and i didn't see much improvements in gameplay and damage output.
(maybe someday i will buy melee/st gear to test out poison build)
