Ten Ton Hammer has released a new interview with Evan Michaels, System Designer for Funcom. In this interview Evan talks about the Barbarian, and why it is considered a Rogue class instead of a Soldier.
Evan Michaels: The way we have looked at it is that Soldiers are what one would view as more "martial" types of warriors, whereas Rogues are a bit more on the individualistic side. Barbarians, at their core, are far more Roguish-wearing lighter armor, being extremely offensive-minded, and generally not being what may be considered a "disciplined" fighter. We've always felt that there was an important distinction here, which is why we branded the others as "Soldiers" rather than the typical "Warrior" or "Fighter" labels to be a bit clearer.
