Warriors are the most physical and direct of professions in Elanthia. They've very little magical skills, normally, relying on heavy armor and big weapons. Warriors are capable of specializing in any weapon type easily, but most tend to prefer the use of Two-Handed Weapons or Polearm Weapons due to the high damage factors of these weapons, or, in the case of the claidhmore, has special properties that make them particularily deadly in combat.

Warriors have access to Combat Maneuvers that no other profession has available such as Weapon Bonding and Berserk. These two Combat Maneuvers (or guild skill, in the case of Berserk) are highly useful to a warrior of nearly any training path and is highly recommended to invest in.

Due to physically oriented training plans that most possess, Warrior are the most likely profession to achieve damage reduction, or redux. This, in tandem with their ease in equiping heavy armors, allows them to take much more punishment than the other professions in the game.
