So with the adding of 4 classes (or atleast as I understand it, 4 have been added), what do y'all think of them?  I'd love to hear about y'all's experiences with them as I'm not currently in the game.

I understood perfectly well what he said and meant...and I think you did as well. But, f you did not understand what he meant, then you need to stop posting when you have no clue what you are talking about. 4 classes have been added since launch and once again, I think you know this. Save being cute for your friends or your mom and dad.

I liked the Choppa, but didn't like the others. Too mayonaisse for my tastes. Fat, half-naked potbellied dwarves don't really do it for me, lol. The Choppas did really good damage and look the best out of all of any. Problem is, everyone plays them right now so its a overglut in most scenarios.

Choppa - greenskin melee dps, a big mean greenskin with some gnarly looking weapons.  similar skills to the Slayer, does tons of damage. can dual wield or wield a great weapon

 

Slayer - dwarf melee dps, a tattoo covered killing machine with a cool looking mowhawk. does tons of damage. can also dual wield or wield a great weapon

 

Black Guard - dark elf tank, a wicked looking tank.  can use sword and shield or a cool looking polearm.  mirror class to the Ironbreaker (i personally like the IB more because I'm an Order guy)

 

Knight of the Blazing Sun - empire tank, mirror class to the Chaos Chosen.  auras to buff yourself and allies, and/or debuff enemies.   some of the coolest looking armor in the game at higher levels (thats just my opinion)  sword and shield or giant great swords for weapons

Apart from the Black Guard, they're all very useful careers in the right circumstances. People like to whine a lot over the Choppa and Slayer, but rest assured they are not anywhere near "Death Knight" level. The Black Guard is currently the weakest tank in the game, while the other classes are somewhere in the mid tier in terms of power.

I think many people like the slayers. Since they are duel wielding and have a little more toughness and survivability than the glass cannon WE or WH.

And the coolness factor is always a plus

The Slayer and Choppa are popular because they are overpowered. They both can infinitely spam Flurry and Lotsa Choppin for tons of damage and it gets worse when you have 2 or more of these classes spamming the skill at the same time in pvp.

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising?

I disagree with 'overpowered' in the same way I disagreed with BW's being 'overpowered'.

I don't think a class is overpowered if it can be taken out in less than 3 secs. Which is what happens everytime my slayer is targeted, usually by destro ranged.

The fun part of a slayer is when the other side is too occupied to focus on them. If no one is targetting us, then yes, our dps goes through the roof.

Often what I see happening is 3 or 4 slayers team up on one target, the target can take out individuals pretty quickly, but the cumulative effect is pretty devastating  - but I have seen a black orc with a healer back up disperse 6 slayers. Hardly overpowered.

I am loving the choppa, but then it was my favorite class back in Beta days so I kinda knew what to look forward to once they rereleased the class. As far as overpowered, I would hardly consider them overpowered. Sure they can hit 3 targets at once but if those three targets hit the choppa back hes gonna be dead in no time flat.
