The Warhammer universe as the healer class for the Dark Elves,the Disciple of Khaine weilds both sword and sorcery in an odd style of blood magic.If you were thinking of playing a healer in WAR, but are a "get in and get dirty" type of player,this might just be the class for you.The Disciple of Khaine fears little in PvE. Since they power their healing abilities though combat,a player who can learn how to play a Disciple early on will be able to solo Champion class foes in single combat. The only thing that can truly stop a Disciple is just sheer numbers.This is makes the Disciple of Khaine popular as a class, since they do have a high probability for survival in most fights.
In a group,the Disciple of Khaine works best as an off tank.They do enough damage to be helpful,and should the need arise,can hold down one or two strong foes long enough for the tank to get back n the fight and start taunting away.However,with their healing abilities healing the tank as they fight side by side,that probably won't happen often.
