Back in Chaos

Hello out there.

Long time since I made a tanking post but here is one again. The reason for that is I have started playing Warhammer online (yes I know i jump around alot) and rolled a Chaos warrior class called Chosen. Incredibly cool class to play. From the experinece I presume it will be a bit similar to Death Knights in WoW.

Basically the Chosen is an evil human in fat armour wielding sword 'n board and having auras. The reason for the auras is the corruption from the evil Raven god the Chaos armies worship.

Aside from auras and ordinariy spanking abilities the Chosen have acess to some semi-magical abilities aswell. Like Ravage which is a attack making spirit damage and therefore negating armor.

One of the best things about the Chosen tank class is the viability in PvP (called RvR in WAR). Aside from taking damage we can really dish some out. And we can be annoying enough for the other team so they need to take us out. This is mostly by snare abilitys etc, but also due to the fair damage output we do.

In WoW's Warsong gulch the tanks was mostly flag carriers and in Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley we could be mostly ignored. Not so in Warhammer.

PvE?
But how is the tanks in PvE. On sologrinding we are good. Better than good I would say, downtime is about zero. But I havent doneany dungeons yet. I'm just lvl 15 (of 40) and about right level for the first available instance. Looking forward to it though.

Will fill you in when I know more.
