• Black Orcs literally don't know the meaning of the word "ow." They have a large amount of hit points to work through before they die.
• Black Orcs can wear plate armor, which only enhances their already huge resistance to physical damage.
• Some of the early Black Orc attacks include debuffs to their enemies damage and armor, and buffs for the Black Orcs in the form of enhanced mitigation. Did we mention these guys were tough?
  

• Black Orcs seem to be slow runners, so closing distance on a Ranged DPS class can be harder than usual.
  
• Lack of effective ranged attacks make it difficult to fend off a Ranged attacker, especially if you have to run around to get to them.
  
• Black Orcs attacks follow a line of progression to get to "Da Best Plan" which delivers the most damage. Due to the amount of time in between each attack, the Black Orcs sometimes seem slower than other classes in their attacks or DPS. Also, if you hit the wrong attack in the sequence, it starts you over at the first attack so you need to be careful when button mashing.

“Now den, some times what da boyz need is a lad what can take a beating, and beat back! Dey need a lad wif a serious pair of tusks! Dem needs a Black Orc!”
- Grumlok, Orc Warboss on Strategy

"Da bigger da Orc, da stronger da Orc. Da stronger da Orc, da more dat's Orc's da boss. No wonder da Black Orcs is always da bosses!"
- Splinta, a Goblin in the Bloody Sun Boyz tribe

Armed and armored to fight in the thick of melee as a warrior and tanker, the Black Orc matches physical hardiness with a down and dirty brawler’s fighting style that makes him the heart of any war band. With choppa and shield in hand, he can face down any foe unshaken. However, it is his unique approach to fighting that makes him as deadly with his fists as with either of those tools. He’ll knock you down so you can’t fight back, and then kick you while you’re down. There’s no honor among Greenskins, and there’s no such thing as a fair fight – and that’s the way he likes it!
