Hello everyone,
earlier someone made here a topic asking few questions about the warrior class.
Then I went and checked if there's a guide about it and found that there's not any guide related to the Warrior Class.
So I worked on a basic guide, should be very useful for beginners.
I hope it will help to other people as well.
*This guide will be more useful for players who go level 80+
Skill points
Well there are few builds people play with in PK nowadays,
Passion Build :
83 - Passion
55 - Defense
10 - Master
Attack Build :
80 - Attack
55 - Defense
13 - Master
Attack Build&Shock Stun (I do not recommend on this one) :
80 - Attack
45 - Defense
23 - Master (Shock stun @20)
I personally recommend on the first two builds, I like more passion build but if you're going for this one then you should reskill to it once you're 83.
Until then, you should play with 2nd or 3rd build. I would go for the 2nd.
A short explanation about both builds passion&attack.
Well, there are few negative things in these builds and few positive things.
I'll point them bellow:
Passion Build:
[Positive] There's a skill that increases your attack power (Berserker) in about 350-450 attack power.
[Positive] You have a skill named Battlecry, once you activate this skill it'll give to all your party members
in your area +15 from every stat except for STR(it suppose to give str as well, its just bugged right now)
[Positive] You can also use descent (50 defense), it allows you to teleport on one of your nearby party members. Most of the warriors usually use that for saving theirselves during pk, once they're being targetted they simply use it on one of their party members and by the time their enemies get close enough to attack them again, they're already cured and healed.
[Positive] Frenzy skill (level 55 - passion) is a useful skill as well, I personally recommend on using it once you're being targetted ONLY (During PK, not in a VS), this skill decreases the damage you receive from your enemies as long as you have MP. For example if someone hits you for 1132 damage, you would lose 732 HP and about 400MP instead of loosing 1132hp at once.
[Positive] You have 4 AoE skills (Passion - levels 25, 35, 60, 75) you can use those skills whenever you want.. and it'll inflict physical damage to people in your area based on your attack power.
Since the area you hit isn't that huge most of the warriors uses it to hit priests when their adamants go off (only mages and aoe skills work while the adamant effect goes off) OR to hit a group of people that stands close to each other.
[Positive] You can use HP Booster skill, this skill restores 5% of your total HP and your party member's HP for 20 seconds. (If you have for example 14k hp, you'll receive every 1-2 second a heal of 700HP)
[Negative] Once you use activate berserker skill, you lose 300defense until this skill deactivates.
[Negative] You can't attack with your strongest skill (Cry Echo) while Battlecry skill isn't activated.
[Negative] Priests can debuff with a skill named "confusion", once a priest use this skill on you. If you have battlecry activated, you'll lose it and you won't be able to get this skill until you're cured.
Some warriors uses Echo until they're cured so they can attack, the damage is lower but its better than nothing. (Level 60 skill)
[Negative] Your HP Booster skill can't be activated with priest's heal restore.
[Negative] You'll hit lower than attack build without using your berserker skill(which takes 300defense from your total defense)
Attack Build :
[Positive] Unlike passion build, you don't have to activate any skill so you can use your strongest attack skill.
[Positive] Once a priest use confusion on you, you can still attack.. you'll lose your STR buff but you'll still have the ability to attack normally.
[Positive] You have a skill named 'Blooding', this skill inflicts damage over time (DoT) with no chance of failure.
[Positive] You're pretty tanky compared to a passion warrior because you don't have any skill that decrease your defense like passion warriors does.
[Negative] You don't have any skill that increase your attack power.
[Negative] You don't have any AoE skill, so you can't attack priests once their adamant effect goes off or attack a group of people that stands in the same spot.
Stat Points
Well, its pretty simple actually.
Warriors need to have enough HP for the armors they're going to use (chitins 90 and any better armor 94) and put the rest in STR.
Weapon/Armor/Accesories
It really depends on in which server you're playing in, what's your budget etc.
I hope it helps.
Have fun!
