The Knight, the Witch Hunter and Warhammer |
Ó
Let's get acquainted with Warhammer Online's two of the first professions from the human Empire faction: the knights of the blazing sun, and the witch hunter. Taking care of the information debut on these two professions are EA Mythic's content design lead Doug Woolsey, designer Brian Wheeler, and senior designer Steve Marvin in an interview with GameSpot.
Now, getting down to business, the Knights of the blazing sun are the "classic" knights, so to speak. They are tasked with the defense and protection of the Empire for its greater glory. In battle, they show their loyalty to the ranks by protecting his comrades as well, and basically, just keep a close watch on each others' backs.
As for their capabilities, it is interesting to note that these guys sure can absorb massive amounts of damage "while dealing out lumps of their own." What drives them are glory and honor. Yeah, call them square if you must. But one thing's for sure. These guys mean business. And they sure are bent on getting what they came for.
Let's then take a look at the other profession, the Witch Hunters. Before you start imagining of some old character, armed with a pitchfork and a blazing torch, screaming "Kill the Witch! Kill the Witch!", allow us to snap you out of your misplaced reverie. These guys are pretty cool, actually. Steve Marvin describes them as "somewhere between Van Helsing and a grand inquisitor."
Replacing the pitchforks would be weaponry that fits modern, like pistols, along with swords and flaming brands. Okay, so maybe they do like to keep the torches. Anyhow, they are "all-out attackers who disdain defense." As to what that exactly means, we can only guess. But it most certainly doesn't sound pretty.
Anyways, to get to know these guys more, just click on the Read link below for the full interview. You can also find there some additional info as to gameplay (ie. PVP system) and whatnot.
Enjoy!
