Dwarf Ironbreaker Class Guide

If there was ever a tank for the order, the Ironbreaker was it. They can wield axes, hammers and shields and are very useful to take all the hits for your group. I think that when this game hits the shelves, this is the class to play if you want to be the center of attention (with both your groups and the enemy).

Estimated Strengths
  • Able to aggro (or taunt) targets onto itself
  • Able to survive for a long time taking damage
  • Able to block with a shield

Estimated Weaknesses

  • Damage output will be low
  • Moving speed will be slow compared to other classes (no speed buffs)
  • Slow leveling process

PVP (Player vs Player)

This career will get a lot of action in PVP. If EA Mythic plans on putting some sort of talent system onto the classes, then there is a possibility that this class could have some sort of "Damage" Spec for PVP. Although fun in PVP, playing with a healer is strongly suggested.

PVE (Player vs Environment)

This will be a must class for grouping up and taking down big monsters. Every group needs a tank to take all the hits while receiving heals and this career path will lead to that. Equipped with a shield, you should have no problem taking down the heaviest hitting enemies.

Tanking won't be useless in WAR RVR because of collision detection. With your logic, you just ruled out 1/4 of the classes from WAR.

"Tanking will be useless in PVP without a healer backing you up"

Discovery of the century :O

Sounds like a guide written by someone who played too much WoW and not enough WAR... -1

idd, its justwr ong to say that tanks will be useless in pvp (rvr) in WAR, since they will probably be one of the most important factors to insure a victory..

Yep guide isn't most up to date. Wartiki is allowing people to send in their guides to replace these old ones (they were written long ago when most of the classes were theories...)

I found a few movies on youtube about this class, and it looks really funny :)
I might start out at this class.

With any mmorpg any class can participate is pvp and be a bonus
To say a tank would not be any help in pvp is uninformed.
Mosty tanks in pvp are a really good distaction when the battles become less caotic and more stratigic. Most damage dealing classes will avoid even trying to solo damage a good tank when a position is on the line, the tank is free to lead a flanking manuver.
A good strategy will be better at max ranked pvp/rvr then at lower lvls when some classes are always overpowered
