Chapter 121 - Leveraged Strength
While all of the classes sounded powerful, there were two that were lesser compared to the rest. Both Blizzard of the Frost Giant and Chilling Death of Helheim came with downsides that I wasn't comfortable with.
That wasn't to say I would never be comfortable with them, only that wasn't the direction I wanted to go right now. That may change down the line as I experienced new things and my worldview expanded, but right now, it wasn't something I wanted.
That left the decision between the other two. Captain of the Boreads and Hammer of the Jotnar. Both were warrior classes that gave good stats.
A heavy focus on Strength with a secondary emphasis on Fortitude and Endurance. Captain of the Boreadshad a focus on Intelligence that the other didn't have. Probably to give the commanding skills some strength if I had to guess.
Where Hammer of the Jotun was a pure warrior stat spread,Captain of the Boreads diversified a little bit in other stats. One had commanding and magic skills while the other focused wholly on weapon and armor skills.
I needed to decide the direction I wanted to go.
Usually, I had ignored the leader-type classes before but I wouldn't be able to keep doing that forever. When I built my city, there would be guards and warriors who would fight for the city that would need a leader.
My fighting style didn't really account for other people though. I was more of a solo fighter than a leader during battle and that wasn't a small change to make. It would be a fundamental change to the way I fought, but it seemed like the sensible option when one owned a city.
Unless I appointed someone else as Guard Captain. Like a certain Earthen warrior I knew who would be perfect for it.
The question boiled down to what kind of skills did I need to fight on a higher level right now, there were more evolutions to course correct later. The class I chose now would give me the next 6 skills I would receive and I needed those to be able to boost my power set further than the other options would.
For being a supposed warrior I didn't have a lot of weapon and armor skills. I had a lot of skills that affected the environment, but not many that were typically associated with melee fighters.
The only big ones I got back from my first class. When I first chose Warrior and got [Power Strike(C)], [Penetrating Strike(C)], and [Fortified Body(C)] which have since turned into [Mighty Blow(R)], [Pervading Cold(R)], and [Reinforced Body(Un)].
