[edit] Overview

Warriors are a purely melee-based, plate-wearing tank class. They are found at the frontlines of battle, going toe-to-doe with their enemies. Warriors have a wealth of hit points, and an unrivaled ability to mitigate damage.

A warrior's role is to take a beating from various monsters, while holding their attention off of the more lightly-armored, higher damaging group members. While they perform these roles very well, their limited ability to dole out damage and their high health make them very group-dependent, especially so with groups hosting priest-class member. A good warrior is a welcome addition to any hunting party, and the cornerstone of any raid.

Although both paladins and shadow knights are also tanks that wear plate armor and can tank most content throughout the game, no other class can match the tanking ability of the warrior in regards to sheer damage mitigation.
