From my memory on live (up to 2013) T4 Chosen was the most powerful dps tank. You did however have to run 3 auras continuously, have a very good 2H / armour and about 40% crit to pull it off. I cant remember the exact spec, it was waay to long ago but I do remember Rend = rage and the AP aura was a must.

I remember dueling against the cream of K8P / Norn order. Slayers, Witch Hunters and Warrior Priests were generally easy pickings. Iron breakers were a bit tougher, beatable but a very drawn out affair. (good )Bright wizards were always a pain / close call due to the immense DPS.

Well basically dps sov, mixed with melee LotD cloak+ring set, LotD 2h axe with haxxored uber gems for STR and Melee Power/or Scenario 2h-er with str and mp, rings from LoTD shop with STR+MP... I think you could put one more set bonus for additional STR but not 100% sure bout this one as I think I was sporting Giantslayer Skullhelmet for more Melee power. This way reaching smthg around base 200+ melee power wasnt a big deal (and if you add procs from sov set or was it sc weapon that gave you additional melee power?.. well that just adds some cherry on top of it all).

In case you were playing it slower and you were lucky enough to participate in older version of city siege there were those two items that dropped from Gotrek and Felix encounter in Screaming Cat Tavern (which I REALLY SUGGEST TO BRING BACK in some shape or form... or just bring back those items at very least and tie it to currency to have more interesting options... either way bring em back!) :
Giantslayer helmet and Chest. Both items obtainable with no RR requirement were uber items for low/mid ranked chosens.
Chest gave the omgwtfbbq +6% crit chance on top of STR, WD, (tougness too? dont remember really) and slots
Helmet was a bit weaker version of sovereign dps helmet with more melee power (STR, +40 or so Melee Power... and smthg like +11 Willpower... yeah I know this last part is sort of meh)
Which was a powerful thing to have early on (when combined with Lotd cloak+ring, lotd part of ring sets that were giving more melee power)

In short words BRING BACK LOOT THAT GOTREK AND FELIX WERE DROPPING! (and to be fair mirror it to Order bcs as far as I remember they had some sort of similar thing to do e.g. go to separate location as a party to kill some boss/champion to get them loots - but their version of these items was weaker... AFAIK)

Aura Twister WAS mandatory for every chosen mate (here you can turn on any 3 auras you want). (I think I've got the name of the mod wrong but it had Twister in it -> press bound button to change the aura to another one out of 3 you've chosen. Loldps chosens were going like : STR, TOUGHNESS and RESISTS aura... if you wanted to go full retard you coulve swtich toughness for aoe damge ... but that **** breaks staggers and is only used by those that want to jerk themselves with big numbers at the end of the match... but that aura didnt kill no one ever just annoyed the #$%@# out of every player that was dishing out any ammount of CC)
