Melee dps or 2h tank?

Hi all,

I would like to play melee dps class on destro side. Should I play 2h tank (thinking about BO or BG) or I am good with Choppa or Marauder? For solo play and RvR mostly.

I read on the forums that the Choppa is in pretty rough state without healer and 2h tanks can do actually some nice dmg. So please help me decide :) Any tips would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I can't answer for destro but I play as main solo slayer.by far my fav class in game to play. Easy, hell no. You will have to"easier" time with chosen or monstro Mara build for solo play vs choppa. Will it be as "fun" only way to find out is to play them and see for yourself.

Marauder is very solid choice for Solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1UvUaeHESQ

Black Orc 2h is very fun in middle tier sc's but it has been kind of ruined imo:/ If they changed Arm Breaka to Core Skill(Replaced by Waaagh! as 5tps ability) to giving 10% Crit for 10s and Chop Fasta Would Give 50% AA haste + 10% parry buff as well then 2h Blorc could actually perform well. Waaagh?! is not CD reducer anymore so It shouldnt be 13pts it should be 5 or 9.

BG is OP i cant believe they gave Cooldown reduction skill to BG... Why??? Its the only class that just needs to use 2h and KB cooldown is automatically halved. They get soft cap toughness in every build.

Chosen is super good with 2h.

I like this kind of approach. Previously, I was focused on which class was the best for solo roaming. I made that character, but over time, it stopped being fun, so I quit.

I suggest choosing what you enjoy and find the most fun. Also aesthetically.

If it doesn’t perform at the top level, that’s okay because you’re having fun.

I’m out there struggling and being a noob with my Choppa! :mrgreen:

But it’s fine; I like it!

If you want to play dps, you have to play dps classes. Warbands don't need dps healers or dps tanks.
