W/Ch viability?

So, I'm currently looking to get rid of the third class on my W/Wl (mage) since I don't plan on playing warlock primary, and I am kind of stuck between W/Ch and W/R. I love W/Wl, so it's going to remain my main combo, but I do think I will need a higher damage combination to switch to every now and then; it's really lacking in single-target attacks.

I was definitely going to reroll my third as /Ch, but then I found a thread on the german forums about it..
https://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=476356

Google translate did a terrible job at translating that, and I don't speak german, so the only part I actually understood is that the skill that's supposed to increase attack speed by 10% only increases physical defense, or something to that effect. It also seems that with Wild Slash, perhaps the damage that's supposed to be added is off? (If anyone can read german, feel free to correct me...again, translator fail ._.) I couldn't understand through the jumbled translation what the bug is with Fearless Rune. This thread's quite old, though, so maybe some of the bugs have been fixed.

Has anyone on this side tried Warrior/Champion yet and can say whether it's still buggy or not? It's really looking more interesting to me than W/R, but if 3 of its elites are broken and/or aren't meant to do what their tooltip says, I'm not sure if it's actually viable or not. I'm not worried about being "top DPS" once I'm geared, just want to know how broken it is and if, for example, it could still out-dps my poor W/Wl on single targets.

Ummm we had a w/ch in guild that was semi geared. It seemed alright but not really sure seeing as it wasn't fully geared. They quit quite a few months back now but they still get on TS to play LoL, so i'll ask him when i see him next.

I tried W/Ch for a while when dwarves first came out (up to lvl 35). What I remember was that some attacks used rage and some you paid for with HP instead. Paying with HP might allow you to do ok DPS, but in any fight with an AE or in PvP that's a bad idea.

It seemed OK DPS. Without a doubt it did way more damage than when I switched it and played Ch/W. But I didn't like the idea of paying HP.

Sorry can't help you with how the specific abilities work (or don't work).

If it's elites aren't broken and are working properly, I'd say this is a good combo. Wild Slash causes Slash to use HP instead of rage, damage is increased, and increase P.Att speed sounds good. Blood Rune Weapon and Unbridled Rage are 2 more CDs you get as W/Ch during burst phase. More P.Att, Str and Crit is always welcome. Bloody Slash, Stifling Attack and Vendetta Blow are all skills you can use as fillers that cost HP only as well. Fearless Rune combined with Candy is immunity to both Magical and Physical damage, great to be used in conjunction with Fearless in Siege War. It looks promising if the elites are working as intended. Probably a small step below W/R and W/Wdn only.

I've played some with w/ch, it's quite fun. The hp loss is like 1 or 2%. Think there's one skill where it's a fixed amount but I'd have to check. Nice not having rage dependent spammable skills. Currently I have a 2h hammer on him but if I ever start end game gearing him, I'd switch to axe for the bleed. Funniest thing is using Surprise Attack, midget bowling. :P

That's my favorite part about dwarf warriors. xD

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Maybe I'll give it a try when I reroll my third, and hope that the elites that were supposedly bugged aren't broken by now. I love W/Wl, and I won't be giving it up as my main combo, but I'm under no illusions about its viability for heavy DPS in boss fights, so having a third to give me more DPS for harder things will be nice. :)
