Juggernaut
Back to Character Classes
The Lugian Juggernaut is one of the six main tank classes. Since the Juggernaut is a Lugian, it is a direct-conflict, melee-oriented avatar with high hit points and enough endurance to take a beating. The textbook definition sums the character up rather well - the Juggernaut is an overwhelming advancing force that crushes everything in its path. On Dereth, the juggernaut holds the defensive side of the Lugian melee spectrum.
Juggernauts are melee characters that have comparable defense while keeping good damage. Their strength lies mostly in their ability to deal %health damage to high health monsters. Their shield bonus on their blade staff and high health make them good for solo play and able to live through misplace aggro. While you might have bouts where your extra damage just doesn't proc, don't give up! A juggernaut is an excellent addition to any group.
SOLO PLAY: With their high health, shield bonus, damage reducing abilities and high damage output, juggernauts make for comparable soloists. Use your AOE skills to reduce enemy damage for maximum survivability.
GROUP PLAY: Juggernauts are excellent additions to group with their over the top damage on high health monsters and their ability to reduce the damage of enemies, assisting tanks. Their high health and shield bonus are great assets when a fight goes awry, allowing them to save the group by grabbing aggro in a pinch. They are best when played as Damage Dealers.
