Our Warhammer Class Overview series continues this week as MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood speaks with WAR Combat and Careers Strike Team Lead about the High Elf Swordmaster class.

Have you ever wished that you could play a character who was so good with the sword that you could walk toward a curtain of arrows with nothing but the cold steel in his hands to deflect the incoming onslaught? Well, now you can with the High Elf Swordmaster of Hoeth in Warhammer Online.

Late last week, I had a quick opportunity to sit down to talk with Adam Gershowitz, the Combat and Careers Strike Team Load over at EA Mythic about this class in our continuing Class Overview series.

The Swordmaster of Hoeth (name generally shortened just to Swordmaster) is a formidable opponent. Master of the blade, she has the ability to cut her foes down not only with the cold steel in her hands, but also through the mysteries of magic.

Read the whole article here.

Cheers,

Behold! Rash of the Itch King comes in November! Quake in fear!

Those hands in the pics are a little too big and awkward, but sounds like a pretty fun class.

This game has taken just too damn long to come to fruition. I have lost all interest. Now to change my avatar...

"The Swrodmaster's mastery paths are as follows:"

And no, my eyes are not used to reading like a normal person.

 

Cool class, but I bet it will fail like most "elven" dodge based tank classes games have to offer. :O

I bet you'll fail at being an elven swordmaster in RL.
