    You mean Tainted Claw? 'cause the WE one requires a at least 8 points up our DoT tree.

    Monstro becomes much better once you get concussive jolt, since it's one of the best knockdowns in the entire game. Also, the other two trees are rather sub-par for levelling since one relies on debuffing and the other on backstabs. The other two are much better for most PVP though.

    I've been having a much better time in scenarios since I switched from Monst + survival stats to Brut + Strength Strength Strength! With terrible embrace I felt as though I can actually make a good difference on the field. And stacking noting but strength has made my marauder FINALLY put out the damage needed to kill healers solo, which is all I really wanted to do.

    I run with Subvert Strength, piercing bite, corrupted Edge and Feeding on fear. Have about 780ish strength in my rvr gear and highest Gullotine crit has been 1370 ish on a Warrior Priest. It finally feels like i'm playing a DPS class agian. Sure Monster is fun but when you really want to just kill someone really really quickly, I don't think anything compares to Brut.

    You just have to suffer horirbly from 32-40 to get Terrible embrace.. it's worth it though.. god is it worth it.

    You know what I wish? That they hadn't screwed up with the stats on the Blighted Slayer. As much as I love having the 52 strength on my marauder, it just seems unfair. Plus, I'm real tired of the graphic.

    T4 questing has been insanely fast. I have probably gone 32-39 in the time it took me to go from 20-28. I highly recommend trying to go through the chapters and grab all the quests you can.

    I hate it when there are no healers (1=0) in scenarios. There's just no point to it all. On the other hand, two sides with a handful of healers, ending with the losers in the high 400s? Fantastic fun.

    Full Carnage with Kiss of Doom. When I hit 40 I'm probably going to switch to the On Your Knees/Black Lotus Blade build, although I will miss Pierce Armor and Sharpened Edge. Those abilities utterly screw over tanks.

    see I wouldn't get SE but instead maybe CoIP. But my build would basically be, if i don't have another WE wingman, OYK/BLB/KOD

    I do wanna try out pierce armor though

    I just enjoy how SE works with Ruthless Assault and OYK. Lowering six people's armor for 3 seconds while knocking them down makes it incredibly easy for your teammates to come in and clean them up.

    One of the cut MDPS classes is not coming back. My guess is that it'll be the Choppa replaced by Savage Orcs.

    The Hammerer's concept art seemed pretty dull and not much different from the Ironbreaker. I'm hoping they were the ones that were cut.

    I'm not sure how good of an argument that is. The White Lion / Swordmaster are very difficult to distinguish at a glance.

    Seeing as tons of artwork and even the intro cinematic had slayers and slayers are awesome and mythic has spoken about slayers and crap...

    yeah, i think hammerers are getting cut for slayers. just a look at the dwarf forums on warhammer alliance shows what a frothing demand there is for them.

    What's the best for leveling Witch Hunter?

    I've a got a CR 18 one right now. You don't even get the bullets for Inquisition until 35, so I figure that's probably not such a great route.

    I was going to try Judgment as I use Absolution a lot and Torment too. I like to poke stuff in the back.
    Is this a good spec to use?

    Are the healing effects in Confession really profound at all? I know that combined with Dragon Gun they can be great against groups (and the heal from every hit), but what about in general, before you get those abilities?

    I can't say about the the WH one but the healing equiv ability for WE sucks unless you both crit and use the R3 moral for semi aoe.

    I've gone for Inquisition while levelling because once you get to about 21 or so Torment does pretty decent damage from the front anyway if you've got a good amount of strength. Makes any back attacks you do get in on anything that much better and has really improved my healer hunting in scenarios and around the lakes. Plus having absolution crit nearly always is a big plus.
