I like playing the damage-dealing rogue classes. They seem to have some interesting flexibility. They can sometimes even tank if you set them up right and in the right group. But they can be squishy, frustratingly so.

The Barbarian Class in AoC is no exception to that. He can dual wield or use a two hander. He learns skills and feats that can make him tougher or more damaging or sneakier. I like having to sneak and plan and ambush. It reminds me of the dynamics of real warfare.

And like real combat, one ounce of lag or one surprise add, and my barbarian is looking for yet another tombstone. And in an MMO, where it's all about grinding, this is the frustrating part. The expletives fly when I play my barbarian.
