We can't just let Conan
have all the fun!



If there's one class in Funcom's Age of Conan that will be played more
than any other, it will be the Barbarian. Derived from the namesake of
the universe (Conan the Barbarian), this class has been described as a
savage, brutal, and undisciplined brute. To find out a few more details
about the blood-thirsty class, Ten Ton Hammer's managing editor, Cody
"Micajah" Bye, sat down with Funcom's Evan Michaels and really got to
the core of what drives this enraged berserker. Cover the eyes of your
women and children because the Barbarian is going to be one hell of a
nasty combatant!

Evan Michaels: The way we have looked at it is that
Soldiers are what
one would view as more "martial" types of warriors, whereas Rogues are
a bit more on the individualistic side. Barbarians, at their core, are
far more Roguish—wearing lighter armor, being extremely
offensive-minded, and generally not being what may be considered a
"disciplined" fighter. We've always felt that there was an important
distinction here, which is why we branded the others as "Soldiers"
rather than the typical "Warrior" or "Fighter" labels to be a bit
clearer.
