Warrior classes have excellent hitpoints and poor mana. They are practiced with weapons, and have the strongest parry of all classes.

A warrior is basically trained to kill stuff. Almost all warrior skills are oriented towards killing an enemy. If you are a newbie, a warrior with minimal spellcasting ability is a pretty good combination.

Full Skill List

Core stats

Warriors rely on a high constitution and strength, with dexterity thrown in for good measure. Constitution gives them the high hitpoints needed in battle, while strength and dexterity are needed to master various skills.

  • Primary: Strength - Required to wield almost all weapons, increases physical damage done
  • Secondary: Dexterity / Constitution - Constitution determines your HP, Dexterity makes it easier to dodge, parry, and shield block as well as having a small effect on almost all warrior skills

Secondary Stats

Warriors can have two extremely different playstyles: The hitter focuses almost exclusively on damage; The tank, conversely, focuses almost entirely on defense. Solo warriors will generally prefer to use a hitter playstyle rather than a middle ground between the two as there's no better way to take less damage while solo than taking the enemy out of the equation as quickly as possible.

Hitters

Hitroll - Your ability to strike through your target's armor
Warrior abilities, unlike those of Thieves, do not ignore armor and you'll need hitroll to effectively deliver the hurt
Damroll - Directly increases weapon and melee skill damage
Skill level - Increases your effect level when executing skills

Tanks

Armor class or AC - The higher this is the harder you are to hit
A tank's main job is to draw the attention of enemies and stay alive as long as possible while letting your party deal the damage
Parry/Dodge - Skill bonuses to these abilities are extremely useful to tanks
Saving throws - When facing an enemy with elemental or magic attacks having the appropriate defenses is critical
