Seal Clubber

Description

Seal Clubbers hail from the frigid Northlands, because one character class always hails from the frigid Northlands. They rely on their Muscle to survive.

Skills

Most Seal Clubber skills are learned from The Brotherhood of the Smackdown. All Seal Clubbers begin with the free skills Seal Clubbing Frenzy and Clobber. Completing the Spookyraven Manor Quest grants you the Snarl of the Timberwolf skill.
