Being a bulwark main i agree with most of your points. I can outlast almost everything, as long as they dont include tons of ranged. As a bulwark i tend to dive into the swarm to pull the most agro, allowing my teamates to kill off any ranged enemies first. However, i wish there was an aura or when i put down the flag that makes all nearby enemies focus on me, even for a limited time so the rest of the team can do their jobs.
It could be about balance. Shield upgrades would give the bulwark more active perks than any other class. Currently, bulwark has a pistol and a sword, and that’s it. That means he benefits from any perk in those two weapons all the time. Even though tactical technically has more perks because he has a primary weapon, he doesn’t benefit from them unless he’s currently using it. If bulwark could do the same with his shield, he would be the only class in the game that could benefit from three different weapon perk trees all of the time because he always has them equipped. For PvP specifically, that presents a potential balance issue.
"This game is really fun when you learn the parry and dodge system", then proceeds to miss every single parry opportunity and get continuously knocked back. You know you can parry about every single attack besides the red/orange indicators right?
About intimidating aura from the perspective of a bulwark main: You’re looking at it all wrong. Yes, it makes gun strikes from parries impossible, but you still get gun strikes from dodging and every other source. It’s better to think of the aura as a replacement to gun strike. A gun strike hits only one target, and it is pretty common to get hit immediately after performing one, which can easily remove any armor you got from the gun strike. Aura allows you to do damage from your parries to all the enemies around you, not just one, and it doesn’t interrupt the flow of combat, meaning you can defend yourself and get more parries. You can chain parries to kill entire swarms against melee units because of that perk. So not taking it because you lose one source of gun strike is honestly almost silly to even advise. The only time I’d even consider not taking that perk is against chaos, because you really need to focus on survivability against the currently very unbalanced ranged spam. I personally believe chaos was designed with hard countering bulwark in mind specifically. Only one non-minoris level enemy uses melee primarily.
I've been preaching this perk the while time, most people honestly aren't good at the game or are leveling you can pull top damage half the time. One thing the bulwark though does clearly show us is that melee is bad 90% of your damage is from parrying and dropping shock circles. And no matter how well you play something like a heavy or a tactical even with boltors will out damage you(assuming competent play)
@@thegrindshack You implied it’s not good by saying you don’t recommend taking it because you lose a source of gun strike. When you actively recommend not taking a perk, you are essentially saying it isn’t good. I don’t think it’s a bug, necessarily. I haven’t seen it brought up in any Q&A with the devs, and it honestly seems like a very fair trade. A bunch of aoe damage in exchange for gun strike that the devs said will never get I-frames is a trade I can happily live with as a bulwark main.
@@robertsnead2319 I consistently get most kills and special kills on random teams in tyranid missions, the only thing I don’t usually beat is a vanguard using melta because it’s a melta. Melta is getting nerfed soon, though. So I expect rivers of tears next patch. A tactical has never beat me in either category on a xenos mission. The tactical is usually rolling around, shooting here and there, launching a couple grenades, etc, while I wade into a swarm of minoris and a half dozen majoris and wipe them out almost by myself. Against the thousand sons, it’s a different story. Bulwark needs a buff and/or rearrangement of a few perks. I think if they buffed the damage on armour of contempt, which takes all ranged damage you block and makes your enemies take it instead, it would do so much for bulwark and the ranged spam. I also think if they allowed us to use scrambled targeting at the same time (they share the same column) it would actually reward us for doing our jobs. Blocking ranged fire while drawing the attacks of a swarm so our snipers and vans can move more freely. It also wouldn’t fundamentally change how bulwark is played. I think they really wanted to lean on the shield and defense of the bulwark, but they didn’t do a good job of giving bulwark any counterplay against ranged heavy fights.
@@kolbywilliams7234 Here's the full script about that, and I think I fuck up at the last sentence. lol Aside from shock area damage, the bulwark also has the intimidating aura perk that damages enemies after a perfect parry. If you master the parry mechanics, then this will come in handy against an enemy swarm. But a warning before choosing this perk though. I think the passive is bugged right now as it doesn't say anything about removing the ability to gun strike if this perk is active. I have tried lots of missions, equipped with a fencing power sword that grants the highest perfect parry window and, it seems that equipping this perk right now will remove your ability to do gun strikes after a perfect parry. I don't see anything reason why would the gun strike be removed, as it's not indicated in the description whatsoever. I just hope that if this is a bug, then it will get fixed as soon as possible. The perk is really good as it rewards you when parrying attacks but, I would not use it if it involves losing the gun strike mechanics. The description said nothing about removing gun strike when you have this perk so I assumed that it was just a bug.
Definitely don't sleep on the shield charge, that one 3rd tier perk that does extra stun will open enemies to a gun strike, without that perk it won't. I do quite a few thousand sons missions where it can be critical at times to keep the shield up against the extra ranged fire and if you can get those shield birds hit with the shield charge at the right time you can gun strike them for easy kill.
You don't need the perk upgrade to regain your health with the banner. The perk makes it so even the rest of the squad gets to benefit from it, but if you're playing solo is a wasted point.
@@SarcasticGherkin don't know, but I don't even have the level to unlock the perk he's referring to and I get the white bar and I use the trick to go full health often.

Give it another shot. Melee combat is the best part of this game. Just understand your limitations of having no primary and double down on Bulwark's strengths.
@@cablesalad3168 oh Im rocking it now. Thanks. Just learned on easy, went on missions on normal and now I can start the third hardest mode.Very fun, I like melee fighting.
Honestly, my advice, get used to holding block more instead of mashing parry, it can animation cancel your attacks better than parry and can help u dodge around also shieldbash is faster than any swing and can give u gunstrike on minoris. Also holding block i feel like parry works better on balanced weapons, probably has something to do with double input of the same button. I wish tje devs actually gave an insight into how the animations work exactly and how the AI works, like how many can attack at the same time how they act with elites or no elites, how aggro and threat works, etc.
Melee is the most fun in the game, hands down. Sad the mega versatile Tactical with parry-auspex build puts all dedicated melee classes to shame, though. Also it blows my mind the power weapons are absolutely amazing in the tabletop game and here they hit like a wet noodle.
It's pretty bad actually. Any melee assault always ends with yiu dying. It's a range weapon fest. Unless you're bulwark then you never die and probably have a lot of fun
@@snakedoctor6969 Git gud, seriously. If I can stay in melee combat on the highest difficulties and not die, you should, too. But as I said, this class takes a lot of work and thought and if you can't perfect dodge and parry consistently, melee isn't going to be fun for you regardless of the class. Assault may look like a Leeroy Jenkins class, but it absolutely isn't. Assault requires you to know the game mechanics very well, to know enemy attack patterns very well and to constantly think how to utilize terrain, strategy and your high mobility to your advantage.
@@cablesalad3168just because get gud is an option, doesn’t mean that the assault should be the class to have a much harder time to master. From the way you describe it.

@@dracusdaiarr1788 That's not what I said. You need to git gud with Bulwark and possibly Sniper, too. Basically with all non-melta classes. Assault is very playable on lower difficulties and (for me) tons of fun on the higher ones, only the current strength of the class/state of jetpack, perks etc don't make up for the lack of a primary. You need to git gud because 1. you can't go melta go brrrr with this class and 2. endgame difficulty melee requires you to learn and understand combat mechanics and enemy attack patterns, which is a good thing. It should be like that. The only thing I truly dislike about the class is micropenis jump height in Operations and that perfect parry is mechanically vastly superior to perfect dodge and since so many perks and even the Assault's class ability promotes dodges, it encourages/revolves around inferior/suboptimal play. It kinda blows my mind, since perfect dodge is even more difficult to get right and way more risky than a perfect parry so naturally it should be the bigger reward, yet it's not. Abbrechen Antworten

You know you can parry everything but the red attacks right? This is a great build but even with a fencing weapon you’re getting knocked back a lot. Spam that parry button!
I don't like this class as it isn't very group focused. Most dance around solo somewhere, doing their "awesome" thing and using the banner mostly for themselves as failsafe... I saved more asses with Vanguard or Heavy than any Bulwark I had the "pleasure" to play with.
@@joergbock1976 again that’s not the classes fault that’s a player / skill issue. Bulwark is for keeping close range targets off of rangers focused marines all they have to do is point and click since I’ve learned that I haven’t failed a mission and I rarely go down even solo
@@joergbock1976 i haven’t played on ruthless yet so idk but from the game play I’ve seen , the bulwark is the perfect support class , it’s on odd class that’s aggressively defensive the biggest issue I’ve seen is that bulwarks often go to deep into enemy lines without the mobility of the assault or vanguard you have to stay by your teammates that are good at range .
@@joergbock1976 the class isn’t made for killing , it’s for protecting first . If the bulwark has the most kills at the end of a match , the rest of the team is just bad at their jobs
As a bulwark main, I agree. Everyone else currently playing bulwark needs to start playing as a heavy so I don’t have to always be worried about squad conflict.
Man, I need soo much help with this class!!! Even if I hit my parries and shield bashes, I always end up in a corner just holding block. It gets so congested with mobs I do not have time counterattack or light swing. I use the Fencing Sword and do well in the first portions of the level but always end up pinned with three or four elites all swinging at different times as to keep me just spamming C and not being able to dodge anywhere. 😞
Barely any melee hits at the boss as a melee class.. Dont like that, but i will prolly start with bulwark anyway, but its sad. Does melee og defence needs to be buffed?
Just take intimidating aura and you won’t need tons of melee damage. I’m a bulwark main, I frequently get the most kills and special kills in my squad, and it’s because of that perk. Gun strikes are overrated compared to the ability to rapidly get parries off and kill entire swarms and a dozen majoris enemies by yourself. Plus, every time you parry the boss, you deal damage. This guy is totally wrong about intimidating aura, and that’s why his damage output is bad.
Táctical is the S tier in PvE game you can solo it like easy mode with the Boltgun grenade variante and Melta gun , theres also Sniper and Heavy or Vanguard. Bulwark is high B tier o low A tier, never gonna be an S tier unless Saber rework the melee combat in SM 2.
Oh, is that why I consistently get more kills, special kills, fewer incapacitations, than the tactical almost every game? I guess if it’s S-tier, and bulwark is only B tier, and i’m still consistently doing better, then all the tactical players must really suck.
Bulwark is way overrated. They are extremely slow at killing anything when compared to most other classes. While doing operations on hardest difficulty, i constantly see high level bulwarks fighting one or two elites while others have taken down 10 of them at the same time. Sure, they have good defense, but this game is not that hard that you would need it.
Well bulwark shines more in melee combat and really more as a support class because of the banner. It’s not gonna work up a lot of kills, but it does insane melee damage to everything it touches making it significantly easier to take down everything. On top of that the banner being able to regain shield for everyone in the team and possibly full health if placed right before finishing an execution is a game changer. Although, your Bulwark would need to be capable of working in a team to really do anything, just like any other class.
@@icespicefan4771 Since that would affect all other classes as well, it makes no difference. Nothing changes. Bulwark will still be the slowest even if improved, and others will blow through enemies even faster.
@@GrumpyGrndad but bulwark will still have strong defence, and they are probably gonna buff the enemies in other ways to make up for the health reduction
This breaks multiplayer and sucks the joy out of the game. Poorly balanced 20 year old game design real bummer solid 6 or 7 our of ten. By far the most broken thing in the game
Because they jack up the enemy health in higher difficulties, but mechanically it's still more fun than strictly using guns imo. Rather play helldivers if I wanna use range.
I still dont get why Ppl think bulwark is the best class 😂 its such a useless class he does no dmg has literally no aoe dmg everything he does vanguard and tactician does better 😂😆 its hard to Carry bulwarks such a Heavy class. Whenever u der bulwark just leave the group. All These bulwark Nerds are bias
I’m a bulwark nerd, and I consistently get the most kills, special kills, and fewest incapacitations. I can guarantee it’s you running off, not bulwarks. We don’t have any kind of mobility in our kit, and we benefit the most from it when fighting large groups. Meaning we are stationary tanks. Bulwark does have aoe through intimidating aura, and grindshack is overlooking how good it is because he is overrating gun strikes. When I can single-handedly destroy a swarm and a dozen majoris enemies on the highest difficulty just by parrying a few times, still have full health, and pick up the tactical or vanguard that tried to be the hero because he refused to stay close to me and my banner, it’s safe to say damage and aoe potential is not the problem. That’s why it’s considered a top class by virtually every player that understands the kit.
15:10 Was pure fun to watch, If that was me, I be so dead dead 🙂 I am normal good at dodge, parry, perfect parry games, But for some reason i cant get into this game. I get Wrecked all the time on lower difficulty level.. But sure is fun to watch you youtube doing it. Kindly.

Is this ai voiced
Sheesh
Bulwark is way overrated. They are extremely slow at killing anything when compared to most other classes. While doing operations on hardest difficulty, i constantly see high level bulwarks fighting one or two elites while others have taken down 10 of them at the same time. Sure, they have good defense, but this game is not that hard that you would need it.
They don’t use the melee combo consistently, the power rake combo with light attack is good
Well bulwark shines more in melee combat and really more as a support class because of the banner. It’s not gonna work up a lot of kills, but it does insane melee damage to everything it touches making it significantly easier to take down everything. On top of that the banner being able to regain shield for everyone in the team and possibly full health if placed right before finishing an execution is a game changer. Although, your Bulwark would need to be capable of working in a team to really do anything, just like any other class.
The devs said that they are gonna tone down enemy health in higher difficulties, hopefully that will make the Bulwark better.
@@icespicefan4771 Since that would affect all other classes as well, it makes no difference. Nothing changes. Bulwark will still be the slowest even if improved, and others will blow through enemies even faster.
@@GrumpyGrndad but bulwark will still have strong defence, and they are probably gonna buff the enemies in other ways to make up for the health reduction
This breaks multiplayer and sucks the joy out of the game. Poorly balanced 20 year old game design real bummer solid 6 or 7 our of ten.
By far the most broken thing in the game
Melee is the most fun in this game??? you guys are crazy the melle is stragiht garbage in this game
Because they jack up the enemy health in higher difficulties, but mechanically it's still more fun than strictly using guns imo. Rather play helldivers if I wanna use range.
I still dont get why Ppl think bulwark is the best class 😂 its such a useless class he does no dmg has literally no aoe dmg everything he does vanguard and tactician does better 😂😆 its hard to Carry bulwarks such a Heavy class. Whenever u der bulwark just leave the group. All These bulwark Nerds are bias
Tell me your a melta kid without telling me your a melta kid.
I’m a bulwark nerd, and I consistently get the most kills, special kills, and fewest incapacitations. I can guarantee it’s you running off, not bulwarks. We don’t have any kind of mobility in our kit, and we benefit the most from it when fighting large groups. Meaning we are stationary tanks. Bulwark does have aoe through intimidating aura, and grindshack is overlooking how good it is because he is overrating gun strikes. When I can single-handedly destroy a swarm and a dozen majoris enemies on the highest difficulty just by parrying a few times, still have full health, and pick up the tactical or vanguard that tried to be the hero because he refused to stay close to me and my banner, it’s safe to say damage and aoe potential is not the problem. That’s why it’s considered a top class by virtually every player that understands the kit.
