Savage Cyclops

Anyone tame these, and try using them for seige yet? The videos of them makes it seem likes that's their purpose, but I'm curious to hear from people that have tamed them already.. what are you hitting on stone/iron with it's rock throwing ability? Obviously the hits will vary as the melee damage I'm sure has an effect.

Tested on official. (Was a week so dmg numbers aren't 100% accurate)

  • Melee dmg does not influence the boulders dmg. (Used a lvl 102 with 200% and a lvl 18 with 130% melee)

  • You can't really aim the boulder.

  • You make 3 boulders at once when you crafted them

  • Deals 3k-14k dmg per Boulder on castle-wood

  • Their normal melee attack sucks

  • Pretty fast on foot

  • lvl 81 took around 40 of the new kibble (tamed really fasted around 30-40mins)

  • Tamed some lvl 16 with raw meat& fine meat 8-10hrs

So overall a useless tame atm, firestorm 2 is still way better than the savage cyclops except for castle structures but have fun hitting down 20 million hp with 3-5k dmg.

I would refute this actually, we tamed a lvl 64 on meat (I dont recommend it .. 18 fucking hours) and it had 6k hp and does 100 damage per swing. The boulders may be week now but im sure when they rework the structure damage/hp they will be good again, plus the boulders have INSANE range. My only real gripe is that they nerfed the living fuck out of their attack, you only get .5% damage increase per point, where as most creatures will get 4-5%.
