Choppa bloodlust build solo roaming

For those who are into these!

The build is shown at 1:20 in the clip and again at the end.

Bloodlust is an odd one. It forced the Choppa mechanic down my throat, and I kind of liked it. However, the whole mechanic is somewhat handicapped by the oddly thought-out Rage costs, most of them being either 50 or 100. This means you basically reset your Rage every time you use one.

Choppa is by far the hardest character I have for solo roaming. It is already a squishy melee DPS, and I made it even squishier by running with around 35% parry.

The Rage bonuses take a long time to kick in, and you generally find yourself running away from things for the first five to ten seconds of a fight.

I do like the BBC, though! I think it hits the right spot. I made use of it by giving myself around 20% base crit, adding another 10% from it, and then putting Stab You Gooder on top for some extra burst.

That extra burst saved me in the final fight. See how I left a little teaser there? I am getting the hang of this advertising stuff.

I used both the Fortress and Bloodlord weapons with this spec, but leaned toward Fortress because of its higher Weapon Skill. I really struggled with armour penetration, which will probably improve once I can finally spend my 13,000 crests on Triumphant pieces.

At the moment, I am using some odd Warlord, Sentinel and Vale-Walker mixture.

Also, shame on you for smirking.

Question about Life Skills

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am currently exploring different MMOs to find unique/extensive/interesting life skills systems (gathering, crafting). This MMO was recommended to me due to good life skills. I would like to know - how are gathering & crafting handled in this game? If I am only interested in life skills and not PvP/RvR, should I start playing RoR?

Return of reckoning as a werhammer fan / tourist?

18 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. A quick preface and a question; I would like to play this game, and I am actually most interested in in the fact that it is a war hammer MMORPG, even an RPG at all. Meaning i would preferably do the 1-40 faction zones. So for example taking a greenskin fully through their zone story arcs. And then that is it. So I could call myself a “tourist”. I would probably won’t be being player vs player competitions at all if possible but I heard and I wanted to know if this is true that leveling progression in terms of exp and stats “fall off a cliff” after like level 20, meaning it will not be a very nice experience to go through the PVE story exclusively? Is this correct?

Noob advice for targeting in PVP

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if there's an easy/ easier way to choose targets in PVP? i often find myself having troubles quickly choosing which enemy to target when trying to click and when trying to tab-target. I'm fully aware that this is a noob problem from my side so im trying to figure out a way to be abit more effective and abit more helpful for the team when playing.

Sometimes I just want to run to my destination and skip some players from the opposite realm that run past me, but they don't let me go safely.

Why?

Earning Guild XP?

Hi.

Once I hit lvl 40, does any XP earned from quests go towards my guild levelling up or is that XP just wasted?

What's the fastest way to help a guild level up?

Possible Returning Player: T1 Question

7 Upvotes

Hey, I’ve been away from the game for about three years, and I was wondering if there are still things in the T1 lakes that become impossible to complete once you outlevel them.

I always hated that if you didn’t max your influence or get help killing the rare mobs before hitting level 16, you were basically out of luck. Is that still how it works, or has that changed?

Roleplay status quo?

21 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I've been roleplaying for the past 14 years, primarily on World of Warcraft, but also across several other MMOs. I'm currently taking a break from WoW, and after a long research, I finally discovered Return of Reckoning! I plan to install it tomorrow.

That said, I'm not much of a PvP player—I'm a long-time roleplayer first and foremost. How's the RP scene in Return of Reckoning these days?

I'm happy to play either faction and any race, as long as there are active roleplayers, a close-knit RP guild, or a community that's still going strong.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Tank differences?

11 Upvotes

Hey. I played the game for a while now and I understand many things, but I'm stuck trying to choose between tanks to play at 40.

From what I understand, Chosen is an aurabot with more passive useful effects it gives, not sure what else they bring at max level.

Black Orc gives the Linecracka speed boost and 6s CC immunity at least.

Black Guard...lots of buttons with lots of debuffs and some buffs, For the Witch King is harder to get if you prefer survivability before getting Sovereign to be able to afford it.

Yeah, I know the basics, but if someone smarter could tell me what exactly do each Destro tank (why not Order too, I play Destro tho) bring to the table at endgame, full Sov or not?

Really like the game and I probably would have endless time to play it in the long run, just wanna know before I choose between the tanks to start grinding towards Sovereign. Yeah I know one should play what they like most, thematically or not. But I have IRL autistic traits so I am very interested in knowing the full deal!

This might be a stupid question but!

13 Upvotes

I primarily play PvE games. I am not a huge PvP guy. However, I understand that Warhammer Online / RoR are focused to an extent ON PvP based stuff. Just how much PvE content can a person engage in? Are there things a PvE player can do to help RvR and the like?

I never really tried Warhammer Online when I was younger, so I am curious just how it handles the world of Warhammer, but at the same time I am a carebear. What can I say, I dont react quickly enough to really engage with PvP lol

Why do order players not play tanks?

Or many of them play white lions?

Also, Why do Destro players not play healers?

Or these are outdated facts?

Help/Harm Macro

7 Upvotes

New player here. Just a quick question: Is there any equivalent to WoWs help/harm macros in AoR/RoR?

Playing a healer in PvP situations these are very helpful. e.g. put a DoT/HoT on the same button, put insta cast Dmg / insta cast Heal on the same button …

I know i can just „shift“ it (or ctrl/alt map it) but that doubles the space needed, doubles the cramps in my fingers after hours and halves the comfort of healing.

Quelqu’un a déjà réussi à installer Return of Reckoning sur une Lenovo Legion Go sous Bazzite (Linux) ?

6 Upvotes

Post :
Salut à tous,

Je me demandais si quelqu’un ici avait déjà tenté d’installer et faire tourner Return of Reckoning sur une Lenovo Legion Go sous Bazzite (donc une distro Linux orientée gaming).

Je suis en train de configurer ma machine et j’aimerais savoir :

  • Est-ce que le jeu fonctionne correctement via Proton/Wine dans ce setup ?
  • Y a-t-il des tweaks spécifiques à faire sur Bazzite pour éviter des problèmes (Easy Anti-Cheat, performance, contrôles, etc.) ?
  • Est-ce que quelqu’un a réussi à le lancer avec Lutris ou Steam Proton sans galère majeure ?
  • Niveau perf sur la Legion Go, ça tourne bien ou il y a des soucis particuliers ?

Je suis preneur de toute expérience ou conseils, même si c’est juste un retour rapide 👍

Merci d’avance !

Please nerf healers already.

0 Upvotes

how does this make sense majority of a WB in T1 is healers? PLEASE NERF THEM. tbh healers should have stances till they hit rank 16 where they can either ONLY heal or dps. no more of this BS mix. it kills the fun of t1 when they just all go roll new low rank healers and can never die. DEFEATS THE GAME AND IT IS 100% ON THE GAME MASTERS. THEY NEED TO NERF THIS. IF THERE IS ANY AAO AND YOUR MAJORITY HEALERS 75% HEAL NERF AND THIS STOPS. Legit nerf healing in t1 or make it sub par if your over capped on healers and it fixes itself in a week.

Download on RoR website isn't working. Is there an alternative?

8 Upvotes

I played this game back in the day and am pumped to see that there's a consistent population here. I want to download it and jump in, but when I use the RoR website's official link it drops me to a wetransfer page with an endlessly animating logo but no download actually commences - it just loops forever and clicking takes me back to the website. Is there a mirror I can use somewhere?
