How is Choppa nowdays?

[dukamamuka]

How does Choppa feels right now and what postion he is having as a damage dealer? I heard that he is very squishy, and only aoe? Is he still viable in scenarios or small scale, small groups? Does he have good damage?

Not in a good spot imho. There have been a significant nerf to Choppa's survivability.

When in yellow, you are -25% armor. Detaunt now removes rage so if you get attacked and de-taunt, you go still go quickly back to yellow and lose 10 seconds of higher armor.

Not great, but not as bad as its order counterpart. The choppa 2h tree rework actually makes more sense. Aoe dual wield still big part of destro blob and groups. Yellow nerf hurts on small scale, but feels irrelevant on wb scale as you hit red almost straight away.

The importance of choppa pull is high, which differentiates it from other melee classes.

Because it's just that, if even. It's good for the braindead blobbers that even at maximum capacity are only capable of pressing 2 or maybe 3 buttons.

And that's it.

It's garbage in solo play. Yes, I know "ThiS iS nOt a SolO GaME"

It's bad in smallscale. The damage you get from it's mechanic is not worth trying to keep it alive. Playing a melee Setup with a WE+Mara is 1000x easier than with a choppa.
