WAR (Warhammer Online)

What is this class and why on earth did Mythic think it would cut the mustard.

Me and my brother were joking a few months ago thinking about the poor sod who got a job at Mythic only to be told his job is to come up with the skills and mechanics for a class called - Hammerer.

Manager: "Welcome to Mythic. I hope you will enjoy your time with us."

New Guy: "Thanks. So what is my first assigment?"

Manager: "Your job is to design the skills and mechanics of a new dwarf class."

New Guy: "Great, I love dwarves. What is the class?"

Manager: "Hammerer."

New Guy: "What?"

Manager: "Hammerer."

New Guy: "Hammerer?"

Manager: "Yes."

New Guy: "What is the class concept?"

Manager: "It's a dwarf with a hammer."

New Guy: "That's it?"

Manager: "Basically, yes. But I am sure you can come up some very interesting skills like Hammer Smash or Hammer Hammering Blow and the likes."

New Guy: "Right.... not to be offensive but are the any other available classes?"

Manager: "Well if you really insist, you can take over Jake's work. He... eh, left us last week."

New Guy: "What class was he working on?"

Manager: "Orc Choppa."

New Guy: "What's is that?"

Manager: "An orc with a big sword. We call it a choppa."

A warhammer wielding hammerer in the Warhammer universe is too hammerish for me.

Coffee break over, got to get back to work :)

hahah, that conversation is enertaining.

Lol, good post. :)

Tho imo Choppa is OK. Hammerer is kinda meh... I'd like it much better if they did Slayers as dwarf DPS class...

The professions in WAR aren't just random, they are taken from the tabletop game which has 25 years of development history.

I'm not sure how a class that focuses on a specific type of weapon is ridiculous.

Its not the class description thats ridiculous, its the name lol.

I mean yea, its correct speech wise, its just really uncreative.

Sworder is also proper english, but i mean come on, it doesnt flow off the tongue.

I've always been annoyed by games that use the word "tinkerer" as a profession name.  There is already a perfectly good name for this job -- from the Middle Ages, even -- and it is "tinker."

"Tinker" is a job; a "tinkerer" is someone who happens to be fiddling with something at the moment.

To this I say, "What's in a name," and Hammerer is exactly the type of name for a career I'd expect to find in the Warhammer universe.
