Armoured Protectors
Guardians are defensive juggernaughts, they boast a large selection of heavy defensive equipment as well as allies that assist them in battle. They gain bonuses for defending their allies, using heavy equipment and attacking with hammers or two handed weapons.
Sentinel
Sentinels fight with honor, choosing to put their own lives on the line to protect others. They strike only as a last resort, gaining Honor through taking damage, defending their allies, and slowing their opponents through non-violent means. The more Honor they accumulate, the more deadly they become when they finally unleash their strike.
Shield Breaker
Shield Breakers are guardians who adopt a more aggressive approach to protection. They are both the defensive wall and the battering ram. Armed with hammers and heavy armor, Shield Breakers defend themselves until they find an opening to strike, crippling their opponents and destroying their defenses with devastating hammer blows.
