choppa

[ZPNX99]

just a few questions

- will the choppa class do good amounts of damage? (kinda hard to know at this point)
- will the choppa be able to tank in groups ( like warriors in other MMO's)
- how will the choppa's abilitys compair to those of other classes
- will the choppa class be a popular class? will it be too popular? ( too many choppas)
- is the choppa geared toward solo fighting or group fighting?
- how will the choppa do in PVP


thx for replies, at this point i understand many answers will be opinions rather than fact.
- also if anyone has some good choppa videos or videos on the class please post them, i havent been able to find many.

I hope to God choppas cant tank.

Choppas are like rogues, they will do similar damage.
Choppas are dps...they will not tank.
Choppas probably have mutation abilities and off hand attacks similar to a rogue.
Choppas will be like rogues, so they will probably be popular.
Choppas will be good either way.
Choppas are good at pvp to an extent(Extent being his game play experience.)

This isn't WoW.

Plus, they're closer to Fury Warriors.

Yet they have a taunt attack. They might night be as good of a tank as a BO but in RvR I am sure choppas will help keep the stunties off of the gobbos.

[edit] Everyone has it in thier heads WoW tanking. Where one warrior takes the damage...even for a raid of 40 people. A choppa fighting two guys at once to protect his gobbo friend is tanking. A choppa won't be as good as a BO in this regard but yeah...he WILL tank.

Choppas can mutate? this is new to me. They can't mutate and the only similarity to rogues in my mind is the dual wielding.

Such thoughtfull replies :rolleyes:

- Choppa is considered the hardest hitting "in your face" melee class at this point? Why? Because all his abilities and gear options are aimed for maximum damage output and little protection. He does not require strong positioning like f.e. witch hunter and has a berserker mode to greatly even increasing this damage.

- The Choppa has a taunt ability and a "tactic" to let his attacks gain agro , if he had the possibility to wear a shield he could probably main tank non boss mobs. I believe that BLORC tanks will only be a "must" on boss mobs and high end pve encounters.

- The Choppa has lower defence and utility ( snares , stuns ) then the BLORC or Chosen ( most likely ) but has awesome DPS ( berserker mode = godmode ) in return. If you're looking for "in your face straight damage" then the Choppa is right for you.

- The Choppa will probably be medium to high as a choice for a character because people will be intrested in these dual wielding slaughter machines BUT many people will not persist in the class because of the one sidedness of it.

- The Choppa really shines in a group where he has a healer behind him to allow him to live while "berserking with many enemies on him". He is also an effective solo'er because of the low to none positional dependancy.

- Depending on how the class is implemented ( and CC is ) he will be either very vulnerable to "slowing" abilities and therefor not effective in melee or WAR creators will work out a balanced system and he becomes a real killer once he closes range and starts bashing.

My 2 coppars :cool:
