Changes: Barbarian

Latest revision as of 06:40, 3 March 2014

Barbarians are one of Regnum Online's offensive subclasses, focusing on hard hitting melee combat. Warriors who choose the path of the barbarian gain access to two-handed weaponry, and two unique disciplines, Two Handed Mastery and Warcries. They are the strongest pure damage dealing class in the game, capable of brutal normal hits, which can make them deadly in close quarters. Along with good damage, barbarians can also be one of the fastest classes in the game.

Barbarians also have a wide number of debuffs, crowd control skills, and can provide supportive shouts for allies. The price to pay for all this is their armor, which at lower levels provides weaker defense when compared to other classes. This makes barbarians as equally vulnerable as the ranged targets they choose to engage. To summarize, barbarians are for those who prefer quick, fast paced combat; kill or get killed.

Barbarians are the only class that have the ability to dual wield weapons. They may choose between equipping a two-handed weapon, or wielding a one-handed main weapon and an offhand weapon. In the dual wielding case, the main weapon determines the skills the Barbarian may use. Thus if wielding a one-handed main axe, and a hammer offhand, the Barbarian may only use the Slashing Discipline tree. Offhands are sold at the Barbarian weapons merchant in the capital cities, as well at the central save merchants in the War Zone.

+'''Barbarians''' are one of Regnum Online's offensive subclasses, focusing on hard hitting melee combat. [[Warriors]] who choose the path of the barbarian gain access to two-handed weaponry, and two unique disciplines, [[#Two Handed Mastery|Two Handed Mastery]] and [[#Warcries|Warcries]]. They are the strongest pure damage dealing class in the game, capable of brutal normal hits, which can make them deadly in close quarters. Along with good damage, barbarians can also be one of the fastest classes in the game.
+Barbarians also have a wide number of debuffs, [[crowd control]] skills, and can provide supportive shouts for allies. The price to pay for all this is their armor, which at lower levels provides weaker defense when compared to other classes. This makes barbarians as equally vulnerable as the ranged targets they choose to engage. To summarize, barbarians are for those who prefer quick, fast paced combat; kill or get killed.
-Those [[warrior]]s who choose the path of the barbarian, become the hearth of their realms and the nightmare of their enemies. They are the strongest damage dealers in the game, capable of brutal notmal hits with their enormous two handed weapons. Along with these, they have the most powerful single target skills, if they are buffed they can even take [[mage]]s down with 1 strike. But barbarians are much more than brute mele soldiers. They have some crowd control abillities, all short ranged and requiring him to be close, but if he can pull them off the enemy is pretty much done for. They also have many area buffs in the form of warcries. One has to admit that seeing those brave warriors wielding their weapons and shouting buffs is quite motivating. Their signature one being "Onslaught", wich increases everyone's run speed for a while and gives aditional blunt damage for the first strike, it's the typical way to start a charge. Barbarians have their disadvantages too. Trying to use too many skills in a row eats up the barbarian's mana pool, wich is one of the smallests ones. They don't have ranged attack, so an experienced [[warlock]] or [[marksman]] can take him down before they even reach him. Barbarians are for those who prefer quick combat, kill or get killed in a matter of seconds. They are made for the fast thinkers, getting close to the enemy and using the right skills can and will break havoc upon armies. They are for those that don't hesitate, beacause if they do they are dead.
+Barbarians are the only class that have the ability to dual wield weapons. They may choose between equipping a two-handed weapon, or wielding a one-handed main weapon and an offhand weapon.
