The Beastlord is a hybrid class that mixes elements of the Monk and the Shaman. The result is a melee fighter with some healing ability, ample buffs, and an ever-faithful animal companion known as a warder who will fight tirelessly at the Beastlord's side. This class is as well-suited to soloing as it is to grouping. In the latter case, the role of the Beastlord is twofold; he or she is capable of providing both DPS and utility support.
Upon attaining his or her first spells (level 9), a Beastlord will be called upon by the local guildmaster to decide on which animal companion to form a bond with. This bond is everlasting, and the chosen animal cannot be abandoned later in favor of another; therefore, the fledgling Beastlord would be well-advised to weigh the options available to his or her race. The race/warder options are as follows:
Race | Warden Option #1 | Warden Option #2 | Warden Option #3 |
---|---|---|---|
Barbarian | Polar Bear | Snow Wolf | White Rabbit |
Iksar | Elhasaur | Co`dair | Rockhopper |
Ogre | Elephant | Gorilla | Skunk |
Troll | Alligator | Basilisk | Leech |
Vah | Panther | Sabertooth | Tiger |
Starting Statistics
The Beastlord class receives 20 stat points to distribute at character creation. Important stats to the class are Stamina, Agility, Wisdom, and Charisma. Suggested placement, 20Cha, Charisma is important for spells not being resisted and all Beastlord races have very bad starting Charisma. CHA is also less common on hybrid gear than other needed stats.

Getting the Most Out of Your Beastlord
Beastlords are (currently) the only class who has the ability to easily upgrade their power via a quest. Once you are capable of summoning a warder, you can complete the Advanced Beast Magic quest to build the bond between your warder and yourself. This enables a number of abilities, including /s 8 and /s 9 above, as well as allowing your warder to enter a blood frenzy. As your warder sees your current enemy losing in battle, their attacks become even more savage, causing increased damage until the foe is dispatched. The beastlord also shares a percentage of this increase. This ability strengthens as the beastlord gains in levels.
