The Warrior Class

If you like the pride that comes from dealing damage with impressive, deadly feats of swordplay while weaving in and out of your enemies' attacks, then the warrior may be right for you.

A warrior deals damage with impressive, deadly feats of swordplay while weaving in and out of enemies' attacks. It's the warrior's way to dive into the middle of the fray and mow down the opposition. Invulnerability while using the Evasive Roll skill means the warrior can do enough damage to hold aggro, and still dodge and roll out of harm's way. Coming up from behind an opponent after a roll enables the warrior to strike from behind, before his opponent can turn and counterattack.

The warrior's deft moves and quick dodges make it easy to hold aggro while avoiding damage. Quick to make decisions and quicker to draw swords, the warrior will not fall back on the battlefield. If you've misplaced your warrior, always look ahead—never behind.

[edit] Traits

Weapon: Twin Swords: A warrior carries a deadly blade in each hand. Perfect tools for the trademark warrior speed and grace, they slice, stab, and stun enemies into submission from all sides.
Armor: Leather: Warriors fight in light armor, which makes a good combination with their lightning-fast weapons. A risky strategy, but warriors prefer speed and avoidance to head-on slugging.
Close Assault: Unlike the slower melee classes, the warrior dishes damage through speedy attacks, moving in a blur and misdirecting opponents with dodges.
Diversionary Tactics: Though not a standard tank, a warrior can hold an opponent's aggro. By stinging and pricking the target, whirling between its legs and then backstabbing, the skillful warrior can quite effectively occupy an opponent.

Warrior skills focus on swordplay and the ability to move quickly and easily through any battle. The warrior's leaping dodge lands them behind their opponent and provides temporary invincibility, making them a force to be feared. Their attacks are effective for their distracting impressiveness as much as for their overt power—unless you blink.

From cries that stop enemies in their tracks to whirling sword dances of death, warriors possess an impressive range of skills including foe-stunning blows, dazzling blade skills, and aggro-drawing stances to round out an impressive set of fighting abilities.

Warrior Overview

Warriors hold aggro and dish damage while wearing light armor, for a variation on the traditional tank role. Although light armor makes warriors more vulnerable to attack and more in need of attention from priests, they more than make up for it with their speed and damage capabilities.
