This is why I love playing a Guardian, the polearm action consistently makes me smile. I can swipe through crowds of mobs like these.

Bello vs 10 Angry Shadows:

Any class could handle these mobs really. Note that while they're appropriate for my level they're all labelled "Minion", which is Funcom's indicator of easier mobs. I really like that mechanic, because it allows for the occasional swarm like this. Previously I would have found swarms annoying, but most every attack in Age of Conan would be considered AoE (area of effect) in other games.

Age of Conan's "damage what your weapon hits" melee combat is perfect for this stuff. Casters would probably manage with their splash damage cone-shaped casts too.

In hindsight watching this, I could have done it a lot better, repositioned myself for maximum polearm reach, etc. but I think the video demonstrates the craziness of the situation really well.

The two fatalities are nice too. =)
