Warhammer Classes

So you plan to play Warhammer Online . . . Now you must rule What to play. Classes in Warhammer Online are unique based on race and realm. First rule on Order or Destruction - good or bad? You will be restricted to one realm per server so you can't make Destruction and Order characters on the same server.

Order consists of three races: Empire Humans, Dwarves and High Elves. Destruction has Chaos Humans, Greenskins (Orcs and goblins) and Dark Elves. The story line pits Empire vs. Chaos, Dwarves vs. Greenskins, and High Elves vs. Dark Elves. The racial struggles fast dissolve in to one realm against the other, so don't roll a dark elf just because you like to kill high elves, humans and goblins can have a go at them too.

Warhammer

The Classes of Warhammer online are divided in to four basic categories: tank, healer, melee dps and ranged dps. I am assuming you are well-known with Mmos here and know what that stuff is. The empire and dark elf tank and the dwarf and greenskin melee dps classes have been removed for release, but will probably be back at some point down the road.

So we have Warhammer Online classes and races so lets have a break down altogether.

Empire Humans: Warrior priest (healer), witch hunter (melee dps), keen wizard (ranged dps)

Dwarves: Ironbreaker (tank), rune priest (healer), engineer (ranged dps)

High Elves: Swordmaster (tank), archmage (healer), white lion (melee dps), shadow warrior (ranged dps)

Chaos Humans: Chosen (tank, males only), zealot (healer), marauder (melee dps, males only), magus (ranged dps)

Greenskins (no sexual choices here): Black Ors (tank), Shaman (healer), squig herder (ranged dps)

Dark Elves: Disciple of Khaine (healer), Witch Elf (melee dps, females only), Sorcerer (ranged dps)

Some Warhammer classes have some sure similarities across realm lines. The Empire warrior priest is very similar to the dark elf disciple, keen wizard and the sorcerer, witch hunter and witch elf. I think this highlight adds a bit of equilibrium and I'm sure Mythic will tweak the principles if it doesn't equilibrium out in the end.

Basically, if you are well-known with Mmo's and know your own play style, you should have no question finding a class you like to play in Warhammer Online. The character creator gives you some descriptions of each class and I would suggest you to find one that sounds fun and try it out. Chances are in fact good you will enjoy it.
