Overview: style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> Few understand what it
means to give your life in service to Tzeentch, the Raven God. To truly
be one of the favored amongst the bringer of change's army grants you
immense power, at only the cost of your soul. The Chosen lead the Chaos
armies into battle with themselves at the front. With the ability to
take a lot of damage, cause a decent amount of damage, and the myriad
different Auras of power granted to them by Tzeentch, the Chaos Chosen
are truly a force to be reckoned with. The effects of their auras set
the Chosen apart from other fighters. From auras that buff the rest of
the parties damage and resistances to auras that heal the Chosen
himself, there are a host of different effects you can chose from
depending on the situation.

Official Chaos Chosen Description
"My name? Long ago, such worthless details fell from memory. I know
only the lust for glorious battle - for blood, for victory! I seek only
the Eye of Tzeentch - his favour, his grace, his Dark Gifts - that
through them, I may be remade - reborn! Why do we raid your lands? Why
do we burn your homes? Why do we flay your flesh? To serve the Lord of
Change and his magnificent designs."
- An unknown Chosen of Tzeentch
Champion of Tzeentch is a sight to behold - warped by the blessings of
the dark gods, these hulking behemoths have the power and size to match
even the mightiest of mortal creatures. Their thick Chaos armor can
ward off the most punishing of blows, while the fell weapons they wield
can cleave the heaviest of defenses. However, these "blessings" come at
a price - the Chosen is beholden to Tzeentch, and must constantly
strive to earn his favor. For the Chosen of Tzeentch this means more
than mere slaughter and death. In order to earn the grace of the
Changer of Ways, the Chosen must apply guile and trickery as much as
brute force. Only through careful planning and deliberate carnage can a
Chosen of Tzeentch truly find the favor of their god.
Chosen is hard to beat in PvE play. With their high tolerance for
damage and ability to enhance their DPS through their different auras,
they tend to solo quickly and effectively. Their abilities are derived
from their auras, which they can use to either enhance their ability to
resist damage, resist effects, or even afford them self minor heals
While in a group, the Chosen can stand out as a huge asset to the team.
Their ability to buff the team through their auras allows the group a
chance to increase their DPS or their resists. With the power of their
auras generating extra hate to increase the taunts they already have, a
Chosen shouldn't have too much trouble keeping the DPS classes out of
Chosen's chosen mode of combat is up close and personal. The
combination of their ability to soak damage, do a decent amount of
damage, and the effects of a their auras make the Chosen a hard foe to
bring down. However, beware the ranged DPS classes. If they can draw a
bead on you, they'll light you up. If you catch it soon enough however,
you should be able to confront them before you die and that's where you
shine. Let's face it, for a Chosen of Tzeentch, nothing is quite as fun
as beating up on a cloth wearer trying to defend themselves in vain.
Healers are your BFF's (best friends forever) and with a dedicated
healer you go from being a pain to an outright unstoppable machine.

This Path of Mastery focuses on increasing your DPS, which makes it
potentially both sick AND wrong. In order to travel the path of "Chosen
the Destructor" you will need to abandon your shield in favor of a two
handed weapon, so you do sacrifice some protection in order to deal out
more of the hurt.

This Path of Mastery focuses on being able to take the beating and
outlast your foes. This is the path that allows you to be like Marv
from Sin City ("Is that all you've got?!") and take an inhuman beating.
These abilities allow you to define the battle lines because you ARE
the battle lines.
This Path of Mastery focuses on the use of your auras. Tzeentch's gifts
aren't wasted on the foolish and the Chosen who walk this path will be
able to utilize their gifts in ways that other Chosen only dream of.
From enhancing your melee attacks to unleashing blasts of magical
power, this is the Caster Tank's path of choice.
