Champion's, Uber or Gimped

[Tired_Goat_BW]

Hello. I'm thinking of making a Champions as my first DAoC character but there is a few questions bothering me, could a kind soul be kind enough to answer them for me! Thanks

Q1- Can champions kill alot of things without getting killed, as i heard they've got Rogue HitPoints
Q2- Champions have great debuffs, but are they worth using as they could suck out Endurance, needed for battly
Q3- What is the best specilization line for a champion, Large Weapons, Sheild and Sword?
Q4- Are we welcome in groups as we have Direct Damage, Debuffs, and a weapon
Q5- What is the best race for a champion

Thankyou if you could answer them question's. Will really help, maybe even put me off making a champion!

From my limited knowledge of hib.
1) all classes int he game should be able to solo a blue con mob, most can do yellow, some orange but the harder the mob the more downtime. Its not realy a matter of can a Champ kill things - the answer is yes, but the harder the mob the more time resting between combats.
2) When i played a champ the debuffs used mana and you pretty much had enough juice to keep you going - dont worry about this, I had no problems
3) suffering from most duels in Hib by far the best champ was a 2 handed one
4) yes, your a tank... people like tanks, you're nearly always going to be welcome in groups
5) I think only luri and celt can become champs - speaking from a healer side of things the Luri are just to much of a pain to heal, lower hit points more healing arghh.... try a celt

On the other hand, why not consider a paladin in alb, there amazingly good at solo and in groups. They have healing chants, and endurance regeneration so can pretty much kill yellows non stop with no downtime at all. On the downside they are not the most usefull class in RvR and just seam to be a rezzer in plate armour.

1). Yes, and their hp are fine (celt please)
2). Yes, champs pwn via their use of debuffs, use em.
3). LW 50 a must.
4). Yes, not as much as a Hero, but pretty close. No one will ever turn you away cause they are looking for a Hero.
5). Celt. Elphs are gimped, and imo cute though they are, luris lack best starting stats for a tank.

I know a guy who has leveld 2 Champions to 50, and ive never really heard a champion moan about much.

1) Champs rock
2) Str/con debuff everything you see for quicker take down
Only use dex/qui debuff on rogue/caster classes to slow down evade/cast rates. Using it on tanks = them doing more frontload damage on you -_-. Don't waste mana on attack speed debuff either imho
3) Lw all the way!
4) Yes
5) Lurikeen!! Midget Annihilation pwns j00 all.
