WAR: The Good, The Bad, and The Greenish - Black Orcs
With just over a month to release, everyone's wondering what the different classes of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning are like. Ten Ton Hammer's Brock "Brokain" Ferguson was lucky enough to get a shot at playing the Greenskins in beta and of course he went with the Black Orc! This tough as nails and twice as ugly tank class is one of the favorites of soon to be WAR players everywhere and for good reason! The ability to take damage, the accent, and of course WAAAGH!!! make for an awesome tank class, but don't take our word for it. Check it out for yourself!
Must resist urge to go Greenskin... heart set on Order... mind, body... SOUL aching to be an Orc.
There that's over.
Good stuff, Brok.

The Path of 'Da Brawler is all about upping your DPS and enhancing your ability to dish it out. You do more damage, fights end quicker, you get on to more killing. Stacked with tidbits that increase the damage on some of your current abilities and tactics that increase your crit chances, etc, you'll quickly grow to love being a killing force.
I'm assuming this path is being fleshed out to be more DPS oriented especially now, thanks to the Choppa being, er, chopped. Out of all the Destruction classes, I think this lug will be my first alt.
Been wanting to play a Black Orc ever since the very first cinematic arrived. Don't know what it was about it, but I knew that I wanted to play Destruction from that point on, and I knew I connected best with a character resembling a large soccer hooligan who beats the crap out of short people.
Ah, maself is goin ta beh teh chosen, however I has decided ta
type like da boyz wuld..due to da fact dat them greenskins are
da bom! Ah might even beh goin Black Ork Mahself.

nice, been waiting for a more specific description of the different paths of the blackorc since the WAR homepage does not have this yet ... its kinda like the warrior class in wow which i like, having the choice to skill as a tank and as a dps meelee as well ...
hmm, that article makes my decision even harder which class to choose
btw: my tank in wow was named "brokk"

I do like the sound of these, perfect tanks and look very close visually !! Makes me want to go and paint Black Orcs :P i think this will be my class come launch.
I was going for the Choppa initially but since it was removed I've been leaning towards a dps spec. on a Black Orc. After reading this I have to say that I'll start my Open Beta with a BO and see how it works. For Gork and Mork!!
