Champion?

[old.Darkan]

Starting one of these, what should I chuck my points in to start with?

Going for Celt I think, unless people play successful luri/elf champs?

Any advice welcome.

 

[old.Darkan]

I'd like to be a 2hand spear weilder.

what is my dmg based on, str or dex?

If its dex, I can be an elf and dump all my points in con. That'd do I reckon, no need to worry about the low str...

Celtic Spear = Hero = Firby/Celt = Based on STR

 

[old.Darkan]

So what do I put my 30 start stat points in?

As wuren said, if you want spear you have to be a hero. Champs can't use spears (at least to my knowlege )
Successful... well that depends on what you mean by the word... I can solo all yellows easily and have on occasion soloed an orange clap
If you want variation as a tank be a champ, otherwise be a hero (imho, never played a hero)
Anyways, you'll need str no matter what weapon you use but if you, like me, want to play an elf (or keen for that matter), you can always pick piercing as it calculates dmg from both str and dex instead of only str.

As an elven champion i put 10 into str, con and dex to overcome the weakness of the elf. I seem to evade quite a bit LOL

No spear for you i am afraid but you get Large weapons at level 5. Damage here is based on STR. Dex only affects defensive skills such as parry and evade and peircing weapons.

As a celt with higher starting str and con i would probably do the same points anyway

well i started a Luri LW champ some weeks ago and hes great imo.
if u choose luri or elven u might consider pierce and shield cause of the dex, but for RvR and ur limited spec points i think LW and high Valor fits better for a champ. but thats just my point of view.

if i wanted to be the best tank id rather created a hero than a champ.

I agree with Mr Gnarf. Load out the LW and Valor. Hard 2 beat those nice debuffs and the damage that U do with the weapon will help U to solo and grab that agro off UR healers/Nukes.

Question:

Once the critter is damaged 25% will it stay on the person who hurt it the most until he is either dead or the critter??

Once the critter is damaged 25% will it stay on the person who hurt it the most until he is either dead or the critter??

I can't confirm this by facts but I believe I've taken aggro several times from the one that have damaged the mob over 25%. Considering I was in a team with an eldritch at my lvl from 20 to 29

Lurichamp, sure. Drop the shield and piercer and grab a LWm it's the only way to go for us Champs as we are low hp tanks and not meant to do all that blocking anyway, get some braindead hero to do that(no offense)

Mobs who have lost 25% health can't be mezzed.
Aggro can switch to anyone at all stages of the mobs health from near full health to near death.
This depends entirely upon the damage done, amount of healing by healers, how much someone taunts it or detaunts it, or if the mob is under effect of a Lullaby(?). Some spells aggro more than others. Instant heals are a good way to get aggro as a healer where as a pbaoe doesn't aggro as much as a DD, while doing more damage.
