Class Guide Series - The Warrior

Hey all the next installment of the class guide is here and today we'll talking about the Warrior better known as the beat stick in Wyvia. Warriors are careful combatants capable of switching stances that give them the killer edge in battle and are masters of knowing when to press the advantage in melee combat.

THE WARRIOR

The warrior is the quintessential melee class in Wyvia, but the warrior is no slouch compared to his spell and projectile slinging compatriots. Outfitted with a series of stances the Warrior is a versatile class that can respond to threats on your own terms. Coupled with heavy weapons and armor it can be a tough nut to crack. Like all classes maxing out a skill lets you cross-skill into another class to let you mix-n-match your skills.

SKILLS

Offensive

The first skill in the Warrior's repertoire is Offensive, this skill is for the daredevils out there who like to live on a razor's edge. When you take this stance, you can deal much more damage in exchange for for taking more damage. This pairs nicely with fast striking weapons like swords where you can reposition quickly or if you enjoy alpha striking. Like all stances only one can be active at a time.

Defensive

Sometimes taking a beating is a necessary part of adventuring, doesn't mean you have to make it easy. The second stance available to Warriors is Defensive, this stance allows you to take much more punishment at the expense of your damage output. This is especially help when you get in tricky situations where you need to make a hasty retreat or weather a crazy attack.

Fensive

The final stance available to Warriors is known as Fensive, this allows you to parry back projectiles to enemies the effective works much better with physical projectiles but it's also possible for high skilled Warriors to turn their weapons into magical projectile deflectors as well. This is hugely useful against enemies that love to pelt you from afar.
