As a [[Carnifex (class)|Carnifex]], the most common weapons one wields are the warhammer and the polearm, and it is with '''Savagery''' that they assail their opponents. With the warhammer, brute force and devastating blows rain destruction down upon the unworthy, pulverizing those who stand in your way to a bloody pulp.  Alternatively the polearm can also be used to deadly effect, slicing open your enemy and hacking off their limbs in mighty cleaving strikes. Savagery also leaves the option of attacking a foe with what nature has given, beating them into submission with your own two fists.
