BerserkEdit

Berserk lasts for three minutes and may be used once every 5 minutes. This ability significantly increases the attack ability of a warrior, but it comes at a reduction in a player's defensive value. The amount of change is a 25% attack boost and 25% defense penalty. This ability is the polar opposite of Defender, another Warrior ability.

This is one of the most significant abilities for increasing a player's damage over time and one of the chief reasons that players choose to use warrior as a Support Job.

DefenderEdit

Contrasting with Berserk, Defender will lower the player's attack stat by 25%, while providing a 25% defense bonus. The ability has a 3 minute timer and will last for 3 minutes.

WarcryEdit

Main article: Warcry

AggressorEdit

When used, Aggressor will increase accuracy by about 25, but it will drop evasion significantly. It is generally accepted that this is about 25 to 35 points. The ability lasts 3 minutes and Aggressor can be used once every 5 minutes. Aggressor becomes available to Warriors at level 45. As such, it is not available to anyone using warrior as a subjob.

RetaliationEdit

When under Retaliation, the Warrior loses movement speed but gains a small chance to Counter. The ability is affected by the player's Accuracy stat, and the Warrior will still take damage. It is gained at level 60.

Warrior's ChargeEdit

Warrior's Charge is one of two Merit abilities available to Warriors. As such, it is only available to players at level 75. When used, the player will automatically attack twice as if affected by Double Attack and does add some damage to Weapon Skills. It may be recast every 15 minutes, with further merit upgrades decreasing the recast time.

TomahawkEdit

RestraintEdit

Restraint is a job ability that increases the warrior's weapon skill power with each attack, but prevents the warrior from scoring critical hits. It is worth noting that with Mighty Strikes in effect, a warrior may still land critical hits while under the effect of Restraint.
