Greetings,
I run now an old Chars...a Choppa dual wield,it's fun but I wanna try for a 2H but i can't found any up to date post about it.

I wonder or with 2H Mastery still good enough to try and have some fun,I know it's mor ST oriented with some chance to use AoE but I think with a great weapon looking a real Bada*s :D

Can someone give a Build for exemple with tactics,Stats and RR?
ATM my Choppa is lvl 40 RR53
I'm not in a Guild that's why I ask in forum.
I apprecieted any help and I thanks anyone in advance.

i dont think there is a single build where 2h is better than dual wield currently. just not good :/

One advantage 2h has is innate 10% parry bypass- combined with parry bypass from str (effects of stats got changed in one of last patches) its 20% constant parry bypass, might be able to work something out around that.

Thanks for the reply...
...I know DW is better but I mean...I,m in search for a playable build and have some fun with 2H...ok when it's totally crap it's better forget it but when still a nice build to do some dps then I will give a try.

Well, theoretically.

https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... 3,1778,739

You get a 75% combined heal debuff, so you get really good at killing healers. In addition, the 5 sec cd increase to really disable a lot of classes. And you stay in red and spam Reckless Blow, with the crit chance + crit dmg tactics, so the dmg is very much there. The 20% innate parry bypass is extra bonus.

You will probably want to have a healers with you though lol.

2h choppa:

misses out on choppa strongest damage skill - furious stomping
misses out on both damage channels and damage/heal channel
pays tactic tax to even be able to play its build (Wot rules?)
cant drop enrage with detaunt under (Wot rules?)

i really wish it worked (81 choppa here) but it just doesnt. aoe build has it all: aoe damage, st damage, utility and better survivability

I meant that since you stay in red all the time in this build you need healer.

I won't be surprised if for single target it will be better than dw, so it should be good for scs. For wb however you need aoe dmg, so not much of a choice there.

I love the 2H Choppa build with "Wot Rules?" and play it 99% of the time. Yes, I know it is suboptimal , I'm squish,and I often disappoint folks when entering pug SCs...but, it what I like.

Endless AP, KD on demand, 2k+ AA, outgoing HD, incoming HD, -100% crit, -50% block/parry, +5s CD increaser, splash AoE dmg, AoE inc HD with subj axe, plus I get to carry a big axe...or sometimes a bone!

And yes, I also know some of the above is available to both DW and 2H.
