Today was a sad day.  Both my 'main' toons, a White Lion and a Witch Hunter got parked and will prolly never see light of day.  The Choppah class is so overpowered that both of these types are useless now. 

My WL might get a swing in before he dies, but the WH dies almost immedieatly as soon as he enters battle.  3 Choppahs with thier wide AOE attacks kills both in seconds, sometimes quicker.  In fact, the only classes you can play now in SC are ranged, (which die in an instant when the choppahs reach them), or tanks. 

Maybe when the choppahs are nerfed back to a reasonable level we can bring out the WL, WH and others, but untill then, there is no use playing them.

Excellent news. This should make it slightly easier to farm your capital.

Pfft.. like it wasnt that easy before.  Let's face it, Mythic has a hard on for Chaos, and this just proves it.

That's the Mythic way.

New classes introduced are much better than previous classes.

Hehe

All scenarios I've played today have consisted of like 70% choppas on the destruction side, they are everywhere lol.

They are fairly easy to kill but if a lot of em surround you your DED!

Yeah, I remember that from DAOC, they were always doing this to start then nerfing them later, with little love ever given to existing classes.

(except they reinvented archers, stealthers about 4 times each I think)

I like the fact that Destro is overpowered. To hell with balance. Makes for a better challenge and requires thinking and strategy from the Order, not just charging to battle all out. It's even in the original WH lore. 

Order prevails when it's in the defense, keeping formation and slowly moving forwards. Destros are build to charge, quickly take BOs but lack the ability to hold them.

That's why i play the Order, it's harder, but makes for better teams and demands coordination.

Thing is the new classes arn't new classes. They were left out at launch. Because they have no clue how to balance the classes and apperantly still don't.

I remember them being pulled.

Your full of shit the BW is the most overpowered class in the game right now and that is an order class.

Eng out shine thier counter part as well.

Mythic has a hard on for Order, not chaos.

doesnt prove anything.  Choppa is a greenskin

The only thing I get from all of this is that it is to hard to balance 24 different classes and try to fix a game that was released before it was finished.

You do know that the Choppa and the Slayer are almost ideantical... I don't think there's a bias for Destro going on here.

Just bad design?  A running wall of AoE spikage?

Wasn't mythic gonna tone down the insta-gibs?  They never seem to learn.  I hope this is not rift all over again.  I don't even play anymore and I hope that just because its so sad.

Oh man, 3 melee dps vs 1 melee dps! You should have been able to tank all 3 of them and then kill them all! God! What was I thinking?!

Like when you're surrounded by 3 WEs or WHs or whatever else DPS class you survive that easily.

We're talking about glass cannons here folks and in T1 there's like 10 of them in each scenario.

You honestly think this situation will endure up to T4 ? :P

Wasnt it the same with Kotbs and BG ? Everyone had one...for 3 days 

Heh WH extinct thats a good one. They're a very powerfull class atm and do what they're made to do extremely well, also people do play careers they like the look and playstyle of as well.

Of course the min-maxers will always be chasing the FotM classes or crying nerf to them.

WH's are great right now. WL's will get love in the next patch (Along with marauders and AM's). It's al good.

I will admit it's a bit harder to play the sc's and even orvr with my WH, but not impossible.  If you think the ratio of slayers and choppas is bad now, wait until they release them to everyone.   Give it a month and things will balance out.  I found that my Swordsman can go toe-to-toe with them.
