User:Sigm@/Ulfsark

The Ulfsark is one of the few melee classes available (The Assassin. Warrior and the Dervish are available), and has many skills designed to enhance the use of Polearms Ulfsarks are able to have the most health in the game, allowing them to trade hits with the biggest, meanest foes in the game. They also have the primary attribute Agressiveness, which grants Damage reduction when fighting in melee. Many Ulfsark skills revolve around combining straight-up physical damage with crippling status conditions. They also have access to Stances which modify their abilities, and Shouts to boost the party's performance and impair groups of enemies. The patron gods of the Ulfsark are Balthazar (when playing on the good side) or Menzies (when playing on the bad side).

The Barbarian has a thick hide that, they have extremely high health, but their armor is rather low-leveled. It consists out of a Helmet, a Leather Vest, long - thick - Gloves, Leather Leggings, and fine but solid Leather Boots.

Anyone looking to use a Polearm should take Ulfsark as either their primary or secondary profession. Keep in mind that all characters are restricted to the armor and primary attribute of their primary profession, but even without the Ulfsark's armor and Agressiveness some secondary Ulfsark builds can be quite effective.

Taking Ulfsark as a secondary can be useful even for characters who will never use a melee weapon due to the Ulfsark's protective shouts and stances.

The Primary Ulfsark's base armor provides 65 armor. A starting Primary Ulfsark can expect to have 20 Maximum Energy, 2 Energy Recovery and a basic health of 600.

The Ulfsark is currently one of the two pure melee professions as all other melee professions have at least one attribute that is some form of magic.
