Now that's a cool tank ability!

[SwaY]

:O:O:O i cannot wait! this class is made for me :D and Right in Da jibblies is gonna be the ultimate finisher!

[NoneSuch]

I really love how ALL the abilities actually require some thinking , Half of them can only be used after certain actions - This class could take awhile to master, which I truely can't wait to do.

It's going to be a ton of fun.

[Detheras]

Man I can't wait for warhammer, I see SO much potential for actual strategy and tactics. Rather than spamming everything until you or they die.

Can you see my excitement!?!

[Krulltak]

Awesomeness.

Excellent post.

[heavyhebrew]

Got to hand it to Mythic, the Black Orc class looks damn sexy. Combination abilities, roots, snares, DoT's, looks like a really great PvP tank.

Congratulations greenskins.

[Arathan]

I knew I shouldn't have read this post >_> Now I want to play a Black Orc even more >_<

"Can't stop da Waaagh!"

[Makron]

kick. . thank you!

[Bhazrak]

Yeah, I can't wait 'till I can knock goblins around. Who cares if it helps them.

:P

[Gemini]

Oh. My. God. BRILLIANT! I love "outta my way" and "rock 'ard". Two very cool tanking moves, very inovative. A detaunt that is used on an ally instead of being used by that ally, and a new way to do stances(or last, from my limited experience.)

Will someone kindly update hammerwiki.org? I'm far too lazy for that

Oh, and, of course, danke!

Arm breaka, shut you're face, and then down ya go. Is it just me, or will that be an awesome cc combo?

Given the case that you were lucky enough to parry an attack and then block the next 1-2 swings- yes.

But honestly- no. That just wouldn't make sense as your foe actually would have to perform an action (in this case attack you with a melee attack which you can parry/block) to be able to perform the next steps+ you don't have a finisher in that combo.

[Saerol]

Looks great. Nice to see a 'tanking' style class with PvP-viable abilities.

From what we know from Games Day Atlanta the tank classes will CONSTANTLY block and parry attacks, so these moves WILL be effective.:)

[Nethunz]

I don't see how blocking and parrying will be so effective when the other two classes will be using magic and ranged attacks on you. Honestly I don't see much to balance out against magical and missile attacks.

[NoneSuch]

Is it that hard to imagine someone blocking a magic attack? Just raise your shield.

[Krulltak]

Pretty much.

[someguysteve]

The dark elf in the movie did pretty well for herself with a pair of swords. If the items are magical in any way then its the more likely.

[NoneSuch]

I wanted to go two-hander but more and more I'm suspecting characters with the ability to block more effectivly will have alot more abilities open up to them. Let's just hope there's some decent special abilities for us two-handers.

[Gemini]

I expect the extra damage is a the tradeoff for extra defense and a couple more abilities.

[Vrugar]

Damm the Black Orc is starting to look very attractive to play, not enough Chopper info =(.
Still can't get the image out of my mind of some huge Black Orc backhanding some grot out of the way when they get the aggro.

[XShrike]

"Outta My Way!" I kind of hope there is some way to determine which direction you throw the guy. As you could throw him deeper among the hostiles, ruining the save aspect of the ability.

"Where You Goin'?" sounds like a good retreat skill and CC.

This link (http://only-war.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11556) has a lot of abilities, including the Choppa.

[Uglek]

Looking foward to this game more and more.

I expect that it will throw the character behind you, kinda switching places with them. Either that, or you will have to make sure you're facing the correct way before using it.

[Auku]

Thanks for the abilities.

[StabbyMcGee]

Good post and yeah, about the magic. Lots of the magic wielders (besides the squishy bright wizards) have some melee moves like the Dwarf Runemaster. I'd imagine you can block that, and I should think that the extra armor that comes from a shield helps negate some of that.

[Tabasco]

Wow, this move list makes the Black Orc sound REALLY awesome. If all the move lists are this good, I'm going to have a hard time picking a class. :D

[Rofllove]

I am loving these race specific classes. It is so much nicer than the 1 class fits all races we see now. This game is going to be "the" mmo for the next few years.

[sisonpyh]

Absolutely ludicrious and blasphemy to develop the Warhammer Orc race without any focus whatsoever on a 2handed weapon. Looks like they are going to pigeon hole use into using 1h/shield.

WHERE THE HELL ARE MY GREAT CHOPPA ABILITIES? If you want make them into a freaking tank fine. But atleast give me options where I can spec for damage and actually use abilities that requires a big ole choppa.

Are you an idiot?

If you want to Tank/do decent damage...go Black Orc
If you want to do EXTREME damage but have low survivability...go Choppa
If you want to Tank/Use 2H to do CRAZY damage...go back to WoW!

From what i have garnered, a choppa is any sort of bladed weapon, so i figure that it will be a weapon more useful for a Choppa (at least for the Greenskins).

Im all for Black Orcs getting to use 2H weapons, but not better than the Choppa, cause if they do....then what is the point in the Choppa? All that brings you is a WoW state of constant Nerfing and 'Fixing".

If you just READ the class descriptions given to you on the WAR website, you should have a pretty good idea of what your getting into when you pick your class. If you decide to pick a Black OrC and are coming back a couple months later crying about why you cant strap on a 2H and wreck faces...then you have no-one to blame but yourself.

What? What the hell gave you the idea they would be pigeon-holed into sword n' board?

No class will be pigeon-holed, and they have already shown us Blocs with two-handers, or at least stated they will have two-handers, and will be hitting heavy with them.

But that is no reason to make sword n' board style weak. Shields in WAR will be more than just extra defence.

First of all, chill out, no need to go crazy over an assumption. Second of all, those aren't every single ability that will be in the game, just the stuff in the demo. I present to you http://war.gamewikis.org/wiki/Now_DAT%27s_a_Choppa . Just because their are shield skills dosn't mean that you have to use one.

Nope, but looks like you are. Get out with this tripe.

Dual weilding. Thats what they excell at.

I don't want Black Orcs to out DPS choppas, but they should be able swing a freaking 2h weapongand actually have builds/abilities for it. Everything I've seen has them pigeon holed into sword/board.

So, by saying that Choppas are for Duel-wielding, and thats what they excel at...you are pigeon holing them, maybe they want to throw on a 2H and wreck face...just be careful when you use the phrase Pigeon-hole.
