Barbarian
Those warriors 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 normal 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 mages down with 1 strike. But barbarians are much more than brute melee 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. Their signature one being "Onslaught", which 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.
