Interview and Conquer!

The wait is over! The long weeks have finally passed by and your patience has been rewarded with another Age of Conan class interview. This class interview focuses on the last of the Soldier archetype classes, the Conqueror. With his ability to dual wield and call up Auras to buff himself and his allies, the Conqueror is a formidable opponent on the battle field. In the exclusive article, Funcom's Jørgen Tharaldsen talks about the lore of the class, the Auras, the differences between the Soldier archetypes, and much more!

Jørgen: When it comes to the concept behind the class I asked system designer Andrew Griffin on the reasoning he had when he first started to flesh out the class several years ago, and he said "The concept behind the Conqueror class was for a non-shield using offensive type tank. They were envisioned to be the warlord type of character, who led from the front by virtue of their martial might and inspiring leadership, a more rugged and raw fighter than the Guardian. Hence they focus on either dual-wielding or using two-handed weapons, forgoing the defense of a shield in favor of rending their opponents apart.
