WAR (Warhammer Online)

Alright, so I was able to play preview weekend a few days ago and really got a little impression from each class. I kno i definitely want to play Order, but after play the majority of the classes Order has to offer, I decided on the Warrior Priest and the Ironbreaker. Now i kno that these two are pretty different but i like both styles of play and don't mind either, just have to pick one, u know.

So I was hoping that anybody who has played either of these 2 classes and has reached higher levels with them wouldnt mind sharing some  of ur thoughts towards the class (if one of these 2) u played?

Thanks so much for the help! 

play IB..words can't express how good these tanks are, especially at higher lvls. with the right tactics and mastery path these guys are unstoppable making them a valuable asset in endgame.

ya i agree with that. i also agree that IB''s are really fun to play. i really enjoyed the warrior priest though. haha idk its just hard to pick one. Niether of the 2 classes have had something jump out at me that would make me go with one over the other, if that makes sense. i guess i will have to keep thinking. thanks for the reply and info!

You've chosen 2 classes that are about equal DPS wise.  However, there are some differences:

The WP has to stop meleeing to heal himself and others at one point or another, or die.  He doesn't have the wounds an ironbreaker does - nor will he have the damage absorption, armor, or resists.

The Ironbreaker doesn't have to stop dpsing to heal, because he can't.  He takes less damage, but has a fixed amount of it he can take before getting killed - relying on his ability to take much less damage than others, or outside healing from friends to continue going.

Both are great classes with good surviveability, you'll - if anything - have a chance to learn the game wielding either of these two choices, and possibly find a 3rd class you'll love even more.

Save yourself some trouble and don't play this POS...

Thanks Elmoren forthe reply and info. I see what ur saying and it was nice to hear some solid info about each class. both have benefits and also negatives, so i guess i will have to try a little more at OB!

/yawn

weak effort kiddy.. you can do better then that.

Is it safe to assume that the Warrior Priest is the equivalent of the Paladin in WoW? Cause I'd like to try such a class in WAR...

And I read that they can deal out some decent damage too (I suppose even more if they go up in the Wrath path).

PS: Can they use shields? Can they dual-wield hammers? (seen some concept art with d/w priests)

Idk,, i don't like to compare WAR classes to WOW ones, but i guess u can say that. And yes, i can say to taht they do deal out some pretty decent damage. I would say they do well in 1v1 situations too. I don't know though about the dual wield or sheild though? Someone else here might be able to help!

I used the comparison because it helps me understand better the concept and role of the class.

I don't mean to insinuate that there is a comparison between the two games, because I've not looked much into WAR yet...
