Warrior (The Basics)

Hey Guys and gals,

it has be suggested due to the amount of new warriors we have in the guild that some (being a warrior) could make a simple guide on what and what not to do....so here goes...

Why a warrior
other than Force shielders we are the next highest defence class, which means we are great tankers and with good gear we can cause havok in the damage department too, making us vital players when it comes to big dungeons and boss hunt.

from my own skill bank i have

Combos - The most dreaded topic
Due to the warriors slow pace high dmg skills we have a fbit of trouble causeing alot of dps (Damage Per Second), but hopefully these combos will give you an idea of what we have managed to do to get around this issue.

PVE
Seismic Wave -> Whirlwind ->Seismic Wave -> Spiral Doom

This is my current combo lined up ready for the new skill.

Siesmic Wave ->Whirlwind->Sword quake-> Rising blade (rising is just a filler while quake cools, also WW and Sq seem to link like one skill and gives constant stream of numbers)

also for ranged reasons such as TG Warriors have a cool damage combo Seismic Wave -> Quake Sword ->Seismic Wave -> Sword Cannon

This is what the Skills will look like once the update has been completed

PVP
my current combo for most classes...
Force Kick(9) ->Charge(20) ->Impact Stab(20) -> Rising shot(20) ->Heavy Slash(20) ->Sword quake(12)->Seismic Wave(18)...Whirlwind(9) if needed at the end

but feel free to play with them as i do when it come to a harder class such as FS.

STR,DEX,INT allocation
Until the auto distribute stops working stick the the guide once that stops working focus all you point to STR as this gives us warriors extra attack adn def (2 attack and 1 Defence per 5 points).

i currently have

STR - 1015 (+3 from Rune)
INT - 57
DEX - 113

this allows me to use Shineguard armour upto +7 and gives me maximum attack and def from the points.

the idea with pvp and pve gear being similar is that we use vamp jewels to absorb as much hp as we can, and we all know the more damage we do the more we leach, as we have high defence it makes sense to keep alot the same rather then loose damage and buy mithril gear.
until the above items can be used i would suggest just a basic will set and get yourself familiar with your skills, when you have the stats to use the gear listed above then slowly purchase them and swap each piece for your old items.

Tricks
One of Warriors best things is the retarget in bm2, this allows you to leach alot of hp back when bossing this allows us to use bloody spirit to deal mega damage...the trick behind using "bloody" is to use it with bm2 + aura + Cats recovery + bloody, this way you get cats hp recovery, max def from bm2 and aura then you wont die as easy.

hope this brief guide helps, if you have any questions pm me in game and i will add the answers to here

regards,

Beat
