THe Warrior

Available Races

Archai

Dark Myr

Dwarf

Elf

Halfling

Human

Ogre

Skar

Much more than a soldier or mercenary, the Warrior seems to defy limits of physical strength, ability and resilience. However, she is not content with fortitude alone, but refines her mind as well, becoming a master strategist amidst the mayhem of battle.

Group Role: Tank, Utility

Combat Resource: Battle Points, Resilience

Battle Points - Warriors can accumulate up to five Battle Points represented in the UI by a row of five shields, filling one at a time as Battle Points are accumulated during combat. Warriors will then be able to use these Battle Points to perform heroic feats during battle.

Resilience - When all of the Warrior’s armor, natural toughness and magical enhancements have been applied, Resilience is the final layer that sits on top and represents the Warriors skill in leveraging all of these elements in defending themselves. A Warrior with high Resilience who knows how to maintain it in the heat of battle is unrivaled in raw, physical durability. Therefore Resilience is not a resource that Warriors spend; rather, they work to keep it as high as possible during combat, or to build it up again if it breaks down.

Available Armor

All armor including full platemail. Warriors can gain a 20% bonus to their overall Armor Class through the Armor Proficiency skill.

Available Weapons

All weapons, though Warriors are most suited for using shields in their off-hand, with several of their Tanking abilities requiring shields.

Featured Abilities

War Horn

You sound an ominous war horn, either inflicting fear in your enemies or inciting them to face you in battle.

The Will to Live

Your will to live surges forth, increasing your Dodge and Parry chance, granting a bonus to healing effects cast on you and locking your Resilience to full for the duration of the effect. (Uses 1 Battle Point)

Certain shields may have material properties that can reflect magical damage when using Shield Block. (Uses 2 Battle Points)

For the duration of Wall of Shields, enemy damage will be mitigated using both Warrior’s combined Resilience. Both Warriors will take the same damage per hit after mitigation while the effect lasts. (Uses 3 Battle Points)

Angering Blow

Strike your enemy in a provoking manner, making them angry. While angry, your attacks will generate additional Hate. (Grants 1 Battle Point)

Strike of Breaking

A fierce, well-placed strike that lowers your enemy’s Physical Mitigation. (Grants 1 Battle Point)
