Barbarian

Archetype: Rogue

Here is a class that is going to be fairly popular once Age of Conan launches in May -- simply because Conan himself was a Barbarian. Although that may be reason enough for some players to try this class out initially, there are some other pretty cool reasons to be interested in being a Barbarian. Playing as this class gets you either one giant deadly weapon or two of them -- either way you'll be doing lots of ambushing, followed up by lots of head-bashing. Surprisingly, Funcom considers these guys (and gals) to be a part of the Rogue archetype precisely because of a Barbarians' affinity for surprising enemies with ambushes. Expect to cause plenty of stun and knockback effects if you decided to play as a this class -- also expect to only wear light armors, as you'll need to be able to move around quickly. Only Cimmerians and Aquilonians can become Barbarians.
