-------------------------I. General Information---------------------------
The Warrior, as most of us know, is the traditional tank, and most commonly used for one. They have the ability to wear heavy plate, and have certain attributes to help him soak up damage and protect his allies. The Warrior has no Magic based attacks, so he is above all others in pure melee combat. When he is not tanking, you can see the Warrior doing heavy DPS to help out in a group. The tank in a group is often referred to as the "foundation," and if he fails to do his job, it will often lead to disaster.
---------------II. The Warrior's Tactical Abilites/Maneuvers-------------
The Warrior has many unique abilites which usually don't much damage, if any at all, but have other strategic uses in combat. Some of these abilities are:
Taunt- Adds a small amount of hate, or threat, but can be only used on something every 15 seconds. This ability adds a larger amount of hate when used in defensive stance.
Power Attack- This is a toggled ability. It adds a significant power cost per swing but adds damage to your attacks. This power increases every 10 levels.
Enrage- Toggled ability. Only usable when you are below 50% health, it drives you into a rage. At 50% health, and each 10% after, you can 10 strength, and lose 5% mitigation. Though at higher levels, these benefits and costs increase, and below 20% health, you may enter and intense rage wich cannot be calmed for 30 seconds giving 200 strength, at a cost of 60% reduced mitigation.
Roar of Anger- The Warrior roars, dazing all enemies with 10 meters for 18 seconds. This also has a 5% chance to stun your enemy, but if the enemy is hit, the stun will break.
Primal Rage- This ability causes you to enter a state of rage for a short time giving the Warrior increased speed, as well as immunity to fear effects and stuns. This rage takes a great toll on your body leaving you weakend for upwards a minute.
Barrier of Steel- This abilites forces your enemy to focus upon you and attack no other for 15 seconds. During this time both you and your target will be unable to run.
-----------------------III. The Warrior's Stances-------------------------
Offensive Stance- -mitigation; + accuracy; - aggro.
The offensive stance is most commonly used when trying to dish out some DPS, or when they're just no tanking. The Warrior is granted bonuses to combat, and have a variety of attacks avaliable. These abilities have specific uses, which then grow when combined into chains.
Defensive Stance- +Mitigation; +aggro; + Block Chance; - Damage.
