Warrior

A Warrior is the main damage-taker in EverQuest. They are a highly valued member of the group. Although Paladins, Shadowknights, and a few other classes can also tank (take a majority of the damage), no class will match the pure strength of a warrior.

The Warrior is also a great aggro (enemy aggression) taker, having many AA's and procs designed specifically for keeping the damage to yourself.

Picking a race for a Warrior doesn't really matter; initial strengths and weaknesses aside the races tend to even out quickly. Of course, every race has their own advantages. For example, the Iksar has a natural health regen, and the Ogre has high strength. Picking a race is mainly a personal choice. Be aware, however, that some races are evil to some cities, which can make getting tomes and equipment hard.

In-Game Description[]

Warriors are the masters of armed combat and defense, taking the point in battles and going head-to-head with the most dangerous creatures of Norrath. Warriors are a melee class with the ability to wear plate armor and wield all types of weapons.

Warriors build their strength and stamina to unheard of levels, making them far hardier than any other class. When combined with their heavy armor and excellent defensive skills, warriors are unmatched in their ability to survive the most brutal battles. Warriors train themselves in the skills of combat, mastering the use of all weapons and tactics. Warriors also learn to taunt their opponents, making themselves the focus of all their enemies' attacks, allowing the less resilient members of their group to remain safe from harm.

Warriors are often the cornerstone of a good group, providing a strong defense while also dealing heavy damage to their enemies. Warriors fare poorly when adventuring alone, and are an excellent choice for those who enjoy grouping and taking the front line in battle.
