Black Ork Damage?

Yo, i've recently made a Black Ork, but from what I can tell (level 8), his attacks seem to be pretty weak. I know he is a tank (all my characters are tanks lmao), but the Black Ork just does not seem to deal that much damage. Is this just an issue with low level, or does the Black Ork just deal a lot less damage than the Chosen (my main)? What i'm asking is: When I get my Black Ork to a higher level/2handed, will his damage be viable?

Anyway, if you couldn't tell, I want an Ork who can deal a good amount of damage. You're probably already saying "just play Choppa"... I tried the Choppa months ago, and from what I found, the Choppa dies INCREDIBLY fast. Another issue I have with the Choppa, is the fact that he grows and shrinks in the middle of combat. Absolute deal breaker. Horrible idea in my opinion. If there was a way to make the Choppa remain at his height, and not constantly grow/shrink, i'd play Choppa without a doubt.

I want to be able to deal ok damage, but I love the visuals of the Black Ork.

Low level chosen beats other tanks in damage, high level destro tanks Black orc takes the lead by a landslide.

on my BO i can easily land 3-4k dmg with a single T'ree Hit Combo on non-tanks.

You can build tankier and still deal a lot of damage and at the same time be a decent offtank

its a low lvl problem, you need tree hit combo, greatweapon mastery ,the crit chance tactic depending on plan, and the kd in mid tree(normaly), in additon to that you need stats, stats and stats again.
and you have to master your class mechanic

It's one of the classes that does not need NB whatsoever for good DPS, given that the rotation is incredibly straightforward.

OP: It's the best DPS tank on destro, and highest burst DPS tank of all.

While I concur with the others about 2H damage being quite good for a tank, please be advised that with You Wot?!, IMHO a must-have if you want to use guard at all and take some punishment, you will change in size as well. Not constantly, but whenever ability is active (20s on a 30s CD).

As already said, bo is one of the hardest hitting tanks, with huge burst potential if you learn the rotation and time it right. Get the planB addon, it will help you massively. But what I would recommend, is to stick with snb until you hit 40. Why? Well because 2h lowbie tanks are almost useless in rvr (where you will get the most xp/rp). You are squishy without block and hold the line, which makes you an easy target for the order rdps blob.

I know it looks cool and feels cool, but trust me you will just get frustrated too soon without ever seeing how it actually is to play a geared 40 dps bo. It is definitely fun, it just takes some time to lvl and get used to it. Being snb helps you learn the class and rotations as you won't have to worry too much about order rdps.

BO have hardest mechanik in game. U cant use skils like U want. Too use one skill U must use other skill first. U have atlest 3 skills they buff U and more too debuff enemy. U have skill strict dps. U must change guard to needed ppl. And RLY no need of NB ?. So what class need more ?
