I think it's amazing that the incredibly annoying turrets are still in Phoenix Gate. If they didn't aoe stun for 5 seconds and randomly black out your skill bars even after the stun breaks, it would be perfect. I'm sure the level 20 shadow warriors will still use it too.

That's a display bug as far as I can tell. It tells you you're stunned (was in them earlier today) but your ability still goes off after a graphical hitch. At least, my heals were working.
I am still waiting for the next 6 month plan announcement for Warhammer.
With Aion coming out soon, it will be interesting to see WAR's subscripber number.

On that note, Mor, it pisses me off that some shithead took my name. If badlands gets merged, I'll probably lose my Order character's name too. And then I'd have to choke a bitch.
Destination servers get to keep their names, it's the people who are transferring into Badlands that will be forced to change, so you're good on that 8-)
On the one hand, I love my Choppa (Bludblade) because with his chompin teef he looks really badass and some of the playstyle is really fun.
On the other hand, looking at Sorc DoT tree, I could really have fun with my sorc (level 4 now , name is Misogynist) because holy shit there's just not a lot of fun to be had in keep defense as melee, it seems.

Yeah, it's just a display bug, but it's still really annoying. It's hard to tell when you're actually silenced or stunned afterwards.
Also, did Black Orcs get really nerfed or something over the last patch or two? I haven't played a game with one that has been able to break 15k damage in T2.

Nerfed into the ground. Ran into an AFK ironbreaker I took him to 30% before he came back to keyboard, he took me to 30%, blew though a pot, and my 3500 absorb trinket before he died. Im in a combination of invader, and sentinel had over 900 toughness, 10k health, 600 str. I was sword and board, he was two hander. Had we both started equal he would have had me. Did he play better? No. He just had more CC, more damage, and mitigation currently does not do anywhere near as much as it should. When your whacking someone for <50, and hes hitting you for 100-200 on every swing, and negating your block with knockdowns there is not much you can do.
Our bellows are crap. 560 max spec every 10 seconds is nothing. Thats less than half a BW crit. Da greenest does not stack with our existing armor buffs. A 25% chance to proc if we get hit with spell means you are likely dead before you get much benefit from it. Da biggest is decent, but it is a crapshoot. Str, tough, init are nice to steal. Int, willpower, and ballistic not so much.
At least the WAAAGH bug is FINALLY in the tracker to be fixed. Perhaps our damage will go up a bit. Currently as sword and board if it top 30k damage in a scenario im doing well. Aoe outputs a bit more, but it tends to be offset by groupheals negating most of it.
I will be playing the next couple of days as lvl 8-9. If anyone wants to join me I would love the company. Teafs is my name. Im on IR and im a Shaman. I am also looking for people to do some T1 Lairs with.

We may be able to play tomorrow. I just finished for the night. Ill PM you what time I'll be on and we can work from there. In 40 minutes I finished 50% of Greenskin CH5 influence solo and only made 40% of my lvl in xp at lvl 8. So with another it should go faster.

Tomorrow definitely won't work, since my Choppa is currently only level 1, I just made him earlier when I thought of the name. :P
Okay so I resub'd and I'm wondering how Chosen are doing? Are we still twisting? Still just as good to use a 1h and Shield as opposed to a 2h?
Just started last week and I'm a 23 Chosen. Yes and Yes, in my experience. Having a lot of fun, it basically takes 5-6 people focus-firing me to take me down.

Da Biggest is sick with AoEs, since it ends up boosting all of your stats. But yeah, I just started playing my Blorc for the first time since launch, and he's weedy as hell in tank spec. Other tanks seem to be harder to kill and do more damage.
Choppas are so goddamn overpowered. Oh hai level 11 order, I'm just a level 5. Whoops, I seem to have killed all of you before I finished saying hi. I'm loving this guy.
Gonna log on now to catch up a bit.

Slayers are similarly disgusting. In the last round of Khaine's before I hit 12 I got 23 kills, 40,000 damage. Next guy down had 8 kills and 30,000. There was a RP that totally had my back, so I'd just run into the middle of five or six guys: AoE, AoE, AoE, rage AoE slash slash slash, all dead.
Of course, now I'm level 12. Being at the bottom of the level bracket suuuuucks, and I hate PvE.

Best thing to do in this case is stick by your healers in the back and attack anything that attaks them. Lower risk to you as the healers are their target and you make good healer friends for later levels.

I wish people stayed near me when I'm on my shaman.
When we're sucking in a scenario is usually when I have a single WH continually raping me because my entire team does not understand the concept of looking behind them (and until I get Gork Sez Stop I can't solo kill a WH of equal level without luck).

That's excellent advice. It also means I won't have to deal with the demoralization of some crappy healer completely outhealing my noob DPS while I'm whacking away at a clothy.
I thought it was going to be difficult climbing stuff and exploring after I first experienced the new jump system. Turns out I can get used to it pretty well.
That was taken on the mountain peak between Ork chapters 3 and 4, where you normally have to go via an underground tunnel full of mobs.
The chosen knockback was buffed, right? I haven't been on....well, it's been awhile anyways. How does the 10 day thing work - that's for people who already have accounts and just aren't active atm?

We get a tactic that buffs our knockback range from what I understand. It's still only one knockback.
And yea, the 10 day thing works if you've been inactive I think for 60 days or more.

If you are persistent enough you can get to some really neat places. WAR's not really anal about placing invisible walls everywhere and with some creativity you can find places you weren't really intended to go. For instance, the western half of Cinderfall and see abandoned ruins that were just left there even though there's nothing in them and you aren't normally supposed to get there.
Da Biggest is sick with AoEs, since it ends up boosting all of your stats. But yeah, I just started playing my Blorc for the first time since launch, and he's weedy as hell in tank spec. Other tanks seem to be harder to kill and do more damage.
Pretty much, the plan mechanic is rather crippling at times. My snare/knockback both require me to hit something first. If I run up, root you, smack you to get where i can snare you half the time kiting classes are already out of range.
Da biggest is great for both you, and your party. Nothing like giving everyone in the party an extra 114 to all their stats.

Do Swordmasters blow just as much as the Black Orc? Last time I played, SMs were considered pretty good and BOs were considered overpowered. Was it just the nerfs that screwed the BO, or has the current environment hit both of them?
Anyone have any idea how to fix this problem I'm having? Posted it on the official forums but I'm not holding my breath there.
I play with two rows of action bars, the top row bound to the number keys, the bottom row bound to Shift + the number keys.
Certain skills that I use often I also have bound to mouse3 and mouse4 (I set autorun to mouse5), as well as two more skills bound to shift+m3 and shift+m4.
This set up used to work. I have no idea what has changed, but now all of a sudden when I hold shift and hit a mouse button, it tries to fire off both the skill bound to m4 and the skill bound to shift+m4. Shift + number keys still work fine.
I've tried reloading my ui, relogging, playing around with the keybindings, everything. I can't get it to work like it did an hour ago.

To be specific, I think the hullabaloo is that it increases the height of the arc and the range.
There's a bad and good thing about this. The good thing is that they took it out of the mastery tree so any chosen can have it. The bad bit is that they took it out of the mastery tree so you can only get it at 35 and not at 28 if you really really want it as badly as I do.
I find the current knockback to be hella useful if you snare the guy on your priest and then knock him thataway. Not only is he gone, but he takes a while to get back again. I do this to enemy priests as well. If they are at the edge of their group and my group is useless, ie wont be able to kill them even if i knocked them into my group, what I will do is snare them then punt them in the opposite direction of the front lines or as far away from their own group as they can. Bonus points if I break their line of sight.
You only need a littttle bit of tactics to make a good group crumble. That tactic doesn't have to be kill.
This is what I want the big punt for.
My dream is to have a fellow tank with champions challenge in our own zerg, and I will run in and punt priests and things to him so he can champions challenge them in the middle of the destro army.

Morninglord on
(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
So I made a Choppa and got to level 7 over the course of a few hours. I cannot seeing myself going down any other spec than the aoe spec. That'd be too much fun.
I might remake a Chosen and go with the Disruption line but I'm not sure yet. Do Choppas stay frosty throughout the tiers?
