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 - Makes it easier to dodge, parry, and shield block as well as having a small effect on almost all warrior skills
Constitution - Determines your overall health and movement

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.

All types of warriors want Movement regen since nearly all of their abilities use movement as the resource.
