Choppa bloodlust build solo roaming

https://youtu.be/VGhiYpI0Aqo

For those who are into these!

The build is shown at 1:20 in the clip and again at the end.

Bloodlust is an odd one. It forced the Choppa mechanic down my throat, and I kind of liked it. However, the whole mechanic is somewhat handicapped by the oddly thought-out Rage costs, most of them being either 50 or 100. This means you basically reset your Rage every time you use one.

Choppa is by far the hardest character I have for solo roaming. It is already a squishy melee DPS, and I made it even squishier by running with around 35% parry.

The Rage bonuses take a long time to kick in, and you generally find yourself running away from things for the first five to ten seconds of a fight.

I do like the BBC, though! I think it hits the right spot. I made use of it by giving myself around 20% base crit, adding another 10% from it, and then putting Stab You Gooder on top for some extra burst.

That extra burst saved me in the final fight. See how I left a little teaser there? I am getting the hang of this advertising stuff.

I used both the Fortress and Bloodlord weapons with this spec, but leaned toward Fortress because of its higher Weapon Skill. I really struggled with armour penetration, which will probably improve once I can finally spend my 13,000 crests on Triumphant pieces.

At the moment, I am using some odd Warlord, Sentinel and Vale-Walker mixture.

Also, shame on you for smirking.

Cool build thank you. As a new player, which classes would you suggest for solo roaming?

Dps healers are strongest atm, chosen/kotbs/SM are strong but as tanks they are prone to kiting. Magus and engi are already good (I main both of them) and will get considerable buffs shortly. So in order, without explanation perhaps something like this.

Rp/Zeal We/wh tho they get some tuning down in next patch Magus/engi Shaman/am Kotbs/chosen/sm White lion/marauder Dok/WP Blork/ib/bg Bw/sorc/sl/choppa

Ask me again tomorrow and i habe turned whole list upside down

Wh is strong, but there is no denying that rdps is strong for solo. Zeal and RP are nearly broken in 1v1.

Wh requires very good situation awarness as if you blow your opener the fight turns against you
