Choppas heavier armor than the other mdps classes?

[Gratefulking]

From all the other mdps classes the choppa has seemed to have the most in the way of armor. I have looked at all the other mdps classes screenshots and concept art, but the choppa has the most armor.

From some old thread on a dude who went to one of those fancy conventions, he stated that playing the Choppa, it did indeed last considerably longer then the other Melee Damage careers, and that durability dropped in Berserk, in exchange for the massive damage.

It definitely makes sense, and orcs are known for their toughness, though everything is subject to change until launch date.

They wear the same type of armor with all the other melee dps classes. They just might look cooler in them :-P.

The damned highly outdated and incredibly basic descriptions you find on the Armies of WAR page don't mean anything by this point. We clearly know Ironbreakers are the hardest tanks, despite each tank description saying "heavy armor".

With everything going into making each class unique, armor counts, and I can't see why the Hammerer/Choppa counterpart wouldn't be the most enduring Melee damage classes.

That makes sense do to the fact that to reach their highest dps they must remain in the fight long.

So where is your proof that they do? You basing your ideas from a video of what someone said. When in reality the Choppah could be wearing the same type of armor as the other melee classes but have more stats such in toughness that allows them to take more hits.

So as of now according to the site they all wear teh same armor. I could be wrong but so can you.

Yeah, sorry. I'm just giving an example. The topic is open to discussion.

I expect them to have more armor than that of the Witch Elves or Witch Hunters, who are hardly armored at all. However, when it comes to the Marauder, Hammerer, (and White Lion), it's all speculation. Personally, I see the Choppa as being the most durable MDPS class for destruction, but as I said, just speculation. Also, most durable doesn't have to mean most armor, they could have the light to medium armor mentioned in the official description while still being the toughest through skills. I mean, they are Orcs after all.

I believe the Choppa would be able to soak up more dmg compared to the WE or WH.

Also IIRC , the reason WE & WH might be getting Stealth is due to their low armor.

So im guessing the it would be something like these:

Choppa without Berserk = Lasting MDPS
Choppa With Berserk = Similar to WE & WH (High Dmg but Low Armor)

They do have more armor than Witch Elves and Witch Hunters, there is only speculation on who has more survivability among the other mdps classes because we don't know their specific abilities yet, we do know that they can all wear medium armor. Its on the main website in the class descriptions(well actually Choppas get "moderate" armor... whatever that is).
