[Black Orc] 2h class?

Post#1 » Wed Mar 04, 2020 8:49 am

Hello,

Me and a friend is getting back into RoR and we will be playing together most of the time.
He is playing a shaman while i wanna find a 2h melee class but atm i am not sure what too roll.

I wanna be viable in atleast some areas but almost every post i have read it goes as follows

Choppa 2h: meme spec
Black Guard: a worse Black Orc(?)
Black Orc: your better off with SnB
Chosen: NO

Anyone here that has experience with playing any of these classes as 2h and can give me some info on what to expect from each class.
Any info is appriciated so i can make up my mind before tonights gaming session :)

Ps: not sure what forum this post would be best too post on as i am not only asking about Greenskins but i figured i dont wanna double or tripple post.

Sounds like people have been talking out their arse's. (Apart from 2h choppa being a meme, that much is true currently)

BO is only 'better' as a SnB in zergier fights, if you do sc's/small scale, 2h is incredibly strong as you can pump out really good assist damage without becoming squishy if you spec right.

As for BG, it's not a worse BO at all, it fills a different role. It won't match the damage BO brings but it offers far more utility in the form of super punt, an ungimped aoe snare, wounds debuffs, increasing enemies chance to be crit, different debuffs/buffs etc. You're actually still useful in a warband as a 2h BG because of this utility while other tanks should be respeccing to SnB (although in ideal setups, warbands won't be wanting more than 1 BG, while they want multiple BO's.)

So basically what would be best for you depends on what you prefer doing. If you prefer sc's/small scale, both BG and BO are really strong picks. If you want to play in warbands, BO is more desired (but not as 2h), BG faces more competition for its warband spot (although this isn't so much an issue, as tanks in general are in shorter supply)
