    Starfarming Champs

    Weirder than Starfarming Reavers.

    Sadly, legacied sprint + glory makes it fairly easy if you have enough fodder around you or npcs... of course rolling in/around the biggest 'zerg' exclusively helps a bit too. It's still 'slightly' more challenging than camping sprint + Disappear or TnG + HiPS or Burrow + Brand... etc.

    I always played my champ like I play my Reaver. Suicidal. (Well not so suicidal on reaver anymore, no audacity, not OP enough) However my champ is OP enough I can just tumble into a noob group and faceroll to victory. I might die because I'll eventually get rolled by a craid or something, but I coudn't think of ever star farming on my Champ. Meh, to each their own I guess.

    I'll grant you the idea of a 5 star champ is absurd, especially in this game... however, many have tried and failed (Azareth/Jeraf)... I made 1768 during MoM, then quickly went back down to 980 ... it's an exclusive club if anyone on this server can reach it (on champ)... though, utimately it's meaningless, imho... and very boring if you enjoy 'melee DPS.'

    Star farming on champ seems to be the epitome of boring, though it's completely possible as long as you always have a few healers around you and preferably a captain with a bubble.

    Run around with incombat brands, 3 minstrels, 1 cappy, and 1 rk. (Or 2 cappies, or just 5 minstrels) =p.
    IIRC Minis can drop WS at the drop of a hat now right?

    Honestly how many champs do we have that run around in glory all the time? I know it is to many. The only reason to play a glory champ in the moors is because you are afraid to die or lose. To me it just doesn't make sense.

    Let alone all the champs who won't push up in a raid because they are afraid to die. Those are my favorite kind!

    To be quite honest, playing a Glory Champ if you are solo is pretty plausible. Considering your enemies probably won't be solo themselves, having the extra defense helps.

    I also see it as running glory in case you get in a 1v1 then having an easy win.

    IDK although it bugs me it isn't like cheating or anything so people will play how they want to. If they consider running around on dps class in tanking mode fun so be it...

    Well the odds of getting a 1v1(on Brandy atleast) instead of a 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, or 1vwargpack is really rare. Why trait for challenging 1v1s if you're just going out somewhere you know you'll more often be jumped than get that 1v1? I dunno, maybe if I had actually gotten more Mitigations(At 50% at the moment) or 7 Audacity I'd run Fervour more.

    Psh I run fervor with 2 audacity. Sure as hell makes any 1v1 with a r5+ a challenge lol (without cd's that is). I can't even touch R9+ reavers. By the time my slow doesn't miss I'm at 3k morale. Same with high ranked wargs depending on what set up they run.


    Sucky champ+ 2 audacity= FAIL
