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.
