Choppa?

[ostrogoth182]

I haven't decided on a main yet and I've been playing around with all the classes atm i'm using a choppa they're ok but die too easily should I stick it out for a few more levels or shouldn't I bother, just asking for opinions

[Coryphaus]

Ok mate I'll give it to you straight:

Choppa has the highest damage POTENTIAL of any destro class but it will ALWAYS be like this choppa will always need a dedicated tank guard and healer to really excel it's true that chopps's die a lot right now I can say with some confidence that my choppa has some of the beast gear you can get for the class atm but if you look at my stats I have only 510 armor and 88 tough and engineer penetrating round removes 297 armor so that like half my armor gone, I can't tell if that is correct or if it's removing too much armor cause engine is really bugged and op atm as for if it gets better I can't really tell you, the class does get more survive ability down the line with toughness self buffs and self heal with furious choppin but this is kinda how it's gonna be.

We're no where near as survivable as Mara's or have as much utility (but that's because maras are an utterly bullshit class with so much cheese)

Furthermore were no where near as good as our mirror class slayers because first and formost mythic compleatly neutered the aoe choppa tree to the extent that no choppa skills in it and further more slayers have the compleatly bs rampage ability that can lead them tear through tanks and deal great damage in zergs while chopps's are forced to be single target which in retrospect is kinda pointless when you already have good single target in witch elves.

Thank fully our favorite dev azareal has mentioned before that they are looking into reworking rampage down the line

So what you get is a class who is squishy requiring a dedicated guard and healer who can deal strong single target damage and is more survivable that we even if you don't have the initial burst (I can consistently deal 100+ and 300-400 if I'm bezerk provided my melee abilities work), choppa also has the best dam looking medium armor in the game and represents what it means to be an orc in the purest essence

If you want a fun class that looks swag and can bring the hurt to make ordo; to make them feel da pain yet all the while give 0 **** about how many times you will die? Then this is the class four you

Was thinking if trying slayer but I just don't like dwarfs

[Coryphaus]

Ask your self do you want to be an emo, depressed dwarf whose only desire is to die or do you want to be something that fights because fighting is fun and it's fun to fight?

Tbt dude if your looking for something that can deal nice damage but is still pretty survivable I suggest a dps specced SnB blackguard

Black guards are offensively focused tanks who can deal great damage through their various debuffs and self buffs and also has one of the longest knockdowns in the game (5 seconds with 100 hate) and are extremely survivable later in game with feeding on weakness and some nice heals

The only problem with the class right now is that the item drop table is bugged so black guard gear is very hard to find

Too much Orkishim ;P

The main diff is that a dwarf is little, and easy to hide. Seems not important, but later, when t2 starts, it will be.

The classes are nearly complete mirrors, also in the trouble to get equiptment. Took me 2 days of constant NPC killing to get a helm and a shoulder piece. Got like over 40 or so items more, and i was actually lucky, cuase the only 2 for slayer were the 2 i wanted.

[ostrogoth182]

Might give slayer a go just to test it I'm not a fan of dwarves but ill try everything

[amputationsaw]

double post is a ***

[amputationsaw]

as slayer, if you don't specc wounds or toughness u will die faster than any other. even with guard and healer u will get instant focused down. not really fun right now

I met once a choppa with 3k life but slayers are not able to reach that number

[Tesq]

One of the most fun classes to play but...

As choppa didn't expet ppl understand your value .
Only after you start to 4-5 hit kill ppl they will stick around ya (t3 will be your gold gold era) ç_ç

For not die so easily in pugs group/sc:
-Ask alwasy for a guard / and always give a look at that tank
-learn how de-taunt and drop rage
-then slot the + 25% crit damage tactic when the times came

enjoy.

This is the one and ONLY build that a vast majority of choppa players used when they didnt roll with a dedicated guard or healer, focused on DW, dont use 2h as you miss out on that parry bonus : http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=chp ... :4676:4686:

if you have a trusted grp with trusted guard and healer then this is the build for you: http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=chp ... :4676:4686:

full glass cannon, (even more so than now) but you hit like a freight train
