Asuryan's Flames

So when I started playing War in beta, I thought that I would be rolling a tank to start. So I tried out the black orc, chosen, sword master, and iron breaker; I was not very impressed largely because it was a huge shift from what I normally played. I personally like ranged classes, but the allure of getting into the thick of it can’t be forgotten so I thought that I would go with the chosen at launch.

Well as you can tell from most of my posts that is not the case, and even until recently I had not rolled a tank until the black guard had been released. So when I played the chosen in beta I felt that it was lacking a lot for me as a player so I passed it over. Well this weekend I took my first trip back to playing one. I am leveling up a chosen and a knight of the blazing sun, kind of side by side so I can see what the strengths and weaknesses are to each of them.

I have been very impressed with the advances that have been made for these classes. They not only seem more fluid, but overall more enjoyable to play. I even felt at level 1 that I had a ton of survivability in otherwise tough scenarios.

Both of these classes I would personally consider the heavy tanks of the game. Sure you can argue that but nothing beats their AOE debufs, group buffs, and their outstanding damage and tanking abilities.

Overall I am glad I revisited them and I plan on leveling them up so you might hear more about them. It was nice to get to run morkain temple again and the even run Nordenwatch.
