T1, Armor Talismans, and You

When Choppas and Slayers were first released, I had a thought. I wondered what would happen if I stacked T4 armor talismans on my gear knowing that the opposing teams would be full of melee damage Slayers.

The result was quite humerous. Stacking the armor talismans and using an armor pot got me over 95% damage physical damage mitigation at times. Now, the way the Choppa mechanic works is that when you have gone red you do 50% more damage, but your resistances and armor are cut in half. However, cutting 95% physical damage mitigation in half leaves you sitting comfortably at just under 50% physical damage mitigation.

This movie had nothing to do with how strong or weak the Choppa is. It was just to demonstrate what armor stacking can do for you in T1.

Enjoy.

Oozo the Choppa

Oozo is back.

The career that I was looking forward to playing the most in WAR was the Choppa. Needless to say I was greatly disappointed when the announcement was made that they would not be in the original release. I reserved the name Oozo and bided my time, and that time has come.

The Choppa is a fun career. But, as usual I am going against the grain. While the vast majority of Choppas are spamming AoEs in the Scenarios I am out doing solo and duo (with Melkeor as a DoK) open RvR. As soon as I hit 28 I went to T4 and things were painful until 30. At 30 you get Sit Down! which changes the way you play the Choppa completely. Getting the third tactic slot didn't hurt either.

Over the next few days I'll be transitioning this blog from it's current WoW flavor to a WAR flavor.

A T4 Choppa movie will be INC soon.
