|  Protector:
Weapons of choice: Hammers and sometimes, Shields.
Stonemen, created from the ancient stone from which their name derives, have a monolithic fortitude which can withstand nearly any blow. Their bravery and fearlessness are legendary, shielding their allies from vicious attacks by taking it themselves. As the Stonemen became renowned for their exploits, they were referred to as Protectors. This is a fitting name for them, for with the strength of stone, they protect those with lesser armor.
Since the time when the chief of the Stonemen, L'ygch, the Fearless Heart, helped Hossinger Apelio defeat Assaya, the Protector class became known as the foundation for any real group going into battle. Their rock-hard determination and immense fortitude ensures a group shall never fear defeat as long as their Protector stands.
Skills:
Heavy Strike - Basic skill. Deals 100% basic damage with additional bonus damage. Every point of "Rage" increase 1% more bonus damage.

Protector functions as a "tank" in the game not only because of its huge figure but also because of its heavy armor and the abilities to absorb intensive attacks. Except for some of the common characteristics that shared by many MMOs, the "tank" class in Forsaken World has its special features.
Protector only available for the race of Stonemen (it's also the only class for Stonemen). He's nine feet tall, carry hammers the size of people, and are regularly seen carrying dwarves on their shoulders. He keeps the enemies' attention focused entirely on him by using aggro-generating attacks and shouting. One of unique abilities for a Protector is Fury. Fury point gradually accumulates as the Protector keeps on fighting, and it enhances many of the Protector's skills. For example the Protector can consume Fury points to increase the attack of its Heavy Strike by 1%. A good Protector knows how to use his Fury points wisely
What you should know:
* All class skills are acquirable from the skill NPC, paid with in-game currency.
* There is a class specific taunt skill
* One FREE talent reset is available in the level 20 Gift Package
Talents are the main factors that differs one player to another player; as far as I know, talents will not determine how well one tanks but should be decided on what suits one's play style. That said, choosing one talent over another will not weaken or make the player tank less effectively. Talents is best explained as a skill enhancement system (even though all path will grant new skills) and they are to be leveled and each skill has a max level. Beside the beginning two skills, each skill will require you to spend a certain amount of Talent Points into that path before acquiring the new skill. Since all class skills are attainable, talents are used only for the player's play-style benefit, i.e. in a boss room do you want to attack bosses and mobs more effectively without giving up your defense; would you focus on keeping only the most dangerous on you and relying on your group to take care of the rest; or do you prefer controlling all mobs to make sure your team mates attacks are focused in one place?
