Knight of the Blazing Sun Gameplay

The Knight of the Blazing Sun is a tank for the Empire race (Humans) in the Order faction in Warhammer Online. The class can issue battlefield commands that bestow power-ups and bonuses to allies or downgrade the skills of enemies. As such, the Knight of the Blazing Sun has been described as more of a "support tank" with a defensive bent than an offensive melee character, though that aspect of the class is still intact.HammerWiki: Knight of the Blazing Sun
Black Guard Gameplay

The Black Guard is a tank class for the Dark Elves race in the Destruction faction. Black Guards wear extremely heavy armor for impenetrable defense and wield large Halberds. As they attack enemies and take damage, they build up Hatred which fuels more attacks and higher offensive capabilities. The Black Guard has offensive and defensive capabilities, and high magic resistance.HammerWiki: Black Guard
