As people walked toward the crowded Warhammer Online booth at the New York Comic Con, the only words that could be heard out of their mouths were Slayer and Choppa. The excitement surrounding these two new classes was certainly noticeable at the convention, and with good cause. They both look like fun, simple damage-dealers that can break into the frontlines in battle with incredible force. Associate Art Director Adam Gershowitz showed us the two classes and talked with us about the Call to Arms live expansion and the massive Patch 1.2, and Warhammer fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.

Gershowitz said the Choppa and Slayer are the last two careers to go into the game at this point, but that doesn’t mean they won’t consider adding more in the future. For those of you who would rather just wait for the official launch of the characters, Gershowitz said they will be introduced in the Bitter Rivals live event, which should kick off either at the end of this month or the beginning of March."These are the last two obvious ones players would ever even be expecting out of us," he said. Both are melee DPS and use the Berserk mechanic to operate, although the mechanic’s name may change for each class.Gershowitz started out by explaining the Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer shown at the convention were in-development alpha versions that were literally being worked on by developers at the same time.
