Mechanic<\/strong><\/p>\n The Choppa mechanic is rage and rage is built over time. For every one second that you are in battle you gain five rage, to the maximum of 100 rage. There are three stages of rage; normal, furious and berserk. Normal (0-24 rage) has no bonuses or penalties. Furious (25-74 rage) has +25% bonus damage and no penalties. Berserk (75-100 rage) has +50% bonus damage but also has the penalty of armor and resistances reduced 50%.<\/p>\n Exhaustive Blows<\/strong><\/p>\n Exhaustive blows (EB) drain your rage while often giving you a benefit. EBs are special attacks that can give +75% bonus damage for that attack if certain conditions are met. Most EBs used while in Berserk mode will not give the bonus damage but will drain rage, while other EBs require you to be in Berserk mode.<\/p>\n Masteries<\/strong><\/p>\n Path of Da\u2019 Savage<\/em> Path of Da\u2019 Hitta<\/em> Path of Da\u2019 Wrecka<\/em> I think Path of Da\u2019 Wrecka will be popular come the Choppa release, but keep in mind that I have been terribly wrong on these guesses before.

\n\u201cA mastery path focused on longer-duration battles.\u201d
\nThere are no weapon requirements for this path, meaning you can dual wield or use a two-hander. This path has two EBs, one that gives you 100 Action points, \u201cKeep on Choppin\u2019,\u201d and another that reduces your target’s crit chance to 0% for ten seconds, \u201cTry and Hurt Me.\u201d There is also a channeled attack, \u201cFurious Choppin\u2019,\u201d for a single target that heals you for what it damages. Finally, the main Choppa attack, \u201cCan\u2019t Stop the Chop,\u201d is in this path, an attack that debuffs armor.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cA mastery path focused on dealing quick, exhaustive blows.\u201d
\nA two-handed weapon is a requirement for this path. Two of the EBs seem more PvP friendly with \u201cTired Already\u201d increasing the cooldowns for your target and \u201cNo More Helpin\u2019,\u201d reducing healing on your target by 50%. \u201cBleed \u2018Em Out\u201d is a ten second DOT where each tick of damage increases over time.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cA mastery path focused on area of effect offensive abilities.\u201d
\nThis is the path for the dual wielding AoE lovers among us. \u201cChop Fasta\u201d is a group buff that reduces cooldowns for the group every time you are hit during its duration. \u201cBring it On\u201d is a channeled self-buff that deals damage every time you are hit. And yes, there is skill called \u201cGit to Da\u2019 Choppa\u201d which not only is a channeled AoE attack but also pulls one random enemy toward you.<\/p>\n
