No, Not That Bad Kevin Coster Movie...

Ten Ton Hammer's bi-weekly Age of Conan class interview series continues this week as we shift our focus from the Dark Templar to the Guardian, another class in the Soldier archetype. This in-depth, Q&A style interview was delivered to us by Funcom's Product Director, Jørgen Tharaldsen, who has continued to amaze the Ten Ton Hammer staff with his thorough answers and enthusiastic attitude. Being the second interview in the series, Cody "Micajah" Bye delved deep into the previously released information concerning the Guardian, and his questions focuses on the Guardian's reliance on armor, his nature in the Hyborian world, what his best abilities are, and the sort of players that might be attracted to this reinforced warrior. After you finish reading the Guardian interview, check out the Dark Templar Q&A and drop by again to read up on the next AoC class interview!

When it comes to the main difference between the Guardian and the rest of the tanks, I can take the easiest comparison first, which is the fact that the Guardian is the hardiest of the three (most HP), and they also have the most defensive options. The Guardians are also the most adjustable, and their three abilities tactics, maneuvers and stratagems allow them to tweak their playstyle on the fly. At any time they can have one of each of these three groupings running (so they can have a tactic and stratagem but not two tactics).
