Tips
- Your main stat is Strength: prefer gear with it. Wear Plate armor when you can.
- Abilities are learned automatically at the level shown; the specialisation passives shape how each build plays.
- Mix and match with the other 21 classes - dungeons and raids need tanks, healers and damage of every kind.
