- "Fighting an Ironbreaker calls for some tough choices: do you try to wear away the anvil, or do you attack his friends and hope that the anvil doesn't fall on your head? The best approach is probably to remove the Ironbreaker through the application of magical and ranged attacks, eliminating him before he can bring his power to bear. Barring that, a concentrated melee attack on the Ironbreaker may be the only way to avoid creating an indestructible melee monster that knows your name, and who holds a grudge for a very long time."
Overview
The Ironbreaker is the quintessential Dwarf - gruff, quarrelsome, and taciturn. He is also your best friend on the field of battle, as any blow struck against his allies is a Grudge that is guaranteed to be repaid in kind. Equipped with his famed Gromril armor and a mastery over the art of war, he is a steadfast defender. This Dwarf is proof against even the most powerful attacks, standing by his allies and ensuring their safety amidst the swirling chaos of battle. It is said that there are few warriors in the world who can boast they are as tough as an Ironbreaker and none that can prove it.
Nobody holds a grudge like a Dwarf, and no Dwarf holds a grudge quite like the Ironbreaker. Every blow struck against him or his allies serves to fuel his perseverance. This, in turn, influences his every action; the greater the grudge borne against a particular foe, the greater the effect of the Ironbreaker's attacks will be. The means by which the Ironbreaker exacts justice vary according to his choice of attacks, but one thing is constant: The only escape from his vengeance is death!

Strategies
How To Play
A sturdy tank career, the Ironbreaker is designed to be able to absorb damage while protecting his groupmates. When the Ironbreaker or his Oath Friend are attacked, he gains Grudge. Based on this ‘Grudge’, he can utilize powerful attacks and debuffs to help damage and disable his enemies.
Before the fight, place Oath Friend and Guard on another target whom you wish to protect (Runepriests are a good example). Start each fight with a few basic Grudging Blow attacks to generate sufficient hate to keep from attacking anyone else. Follow those up with a Guarded Attack to increase your armor and utilize Binding Grudge to prevent the monster from running away. When sufficient Grudge has built up, use Knock Ye Silly to boost your strength and your Oath Friend's willpower. Also utilize Venegeful Strike for an extremely efficient attack that comes with a little defense boost. Taunt enemies as necessary to keep them focused on you. If your Oath Friend runs out of Action Points, use Watch An’ Learn. Each time you hit someone for the next 15s it will give him more AP!
