One of Warhammer's cut classes won't be coming back

hmmm... if it's the Hammerer, I'll be really dissappointed. Order really needs a striaght up melee DPS to match the Witch Elves damage.

Choppa, honestly, could be dropped, considering how powerful the Black Orc already is. Then again, the Ironbreaker is pretty powerful too.

Bah... dissappointed.

I am glad they recognized that Dark Elves and Empire *really* needed a tank first. I would take my Black Orc to "elfland" and be immediately asked to group for PQs and Hero mobs because they had no effective tank.

Melee DPS for Greenskins and Dwarves is important too, of course, but Black Orcs and Ironbreakers can spec and equip themselves to be a reasonable substitute; obviously not as good as the Witch Elf or Shadow Warrior but still quite effective.

I know it was not in the cards but I was really hoping for the Slayer (Dwarf Melee DPS) class. There are Slayer NPCs in the game so I never really understood why not PCs? I guess the fact that a long-surviving Slayer is actually a failure has something to do with it. . .

Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that it's going to be the Slayer. And rightly so, Order gets a nasty cool looking class to contrast the snoot.

On the Order Side the White Lion and Witch Hunters really don't cut it, while marauders on the Destruction side are insanely popular. Order needs a good MDPS class that is as fun to play as the Marauder (I played them a lot in beta).

If Order doesn't get something "fun" to play for a healer class and MDPS class, we're going to be hurt even moreso in population imbalances.

I don't see why they would put in one and not the other considering that they're mirror classes and basically re-skins with minor retooling. I agree with the above reader that it would be the slayer since it doesn't have a clear cut mirror unlike the hammerer and chopper.

Dwarf slayer. That make me roll a stunty!

I'm going to have to agree here and say Hammerer will be removed and Slayer will take his place.

NO! I want them both to be replaced!

Slayer Vs Savage Orc!

gogogogogo

It's quite evident that's the slayer replacing the hammerer.
So much for the "it may frustrate orc or dwarfs fans", most of the community has been asking for it since the announcement of the classes.

Oh hell ya!

A dual-weapon Orc will be making an appearance, since the Black Orc in DPS spec is the 2Hander champion.
So the Choppa will be back.

But they are ditching the dumb Hammerer for the Slayer probably, which will boost Order's numbers HUGELY.

What's interesting about WAR is that Dwarves actually are very popular in this game and have the best classes in all their categories, other than Magic DPS, which goes to Bright Wizard.

Definitely seems like the Slayer will be introduced.

Maybe they will just rename him to a Thane (He looks like one anyway), and this was all a ruse.

I think they would be stupid not to give Slayers. It's the one Warhammer class on the side of order that would have people sign up in droves. I for one have avoided Warhammer as I am waiting for Wrath but if they gave players the chance to play a Slayer then I would definitely sign up.
