Warrior

Introduction

“

On the northernmost edge of Abalathia's Spine exists a mountain tribe renowned for producing fearsome mercenaries. Wielding greataxes and known as warriors, these men and women learn to harness their inner-beasts and translate that power to unbridled savagery on the battlefield. In former times which saw war waged ceaselessly in Eorzea, the warriors featured prominently on the frontlines of battle. With the arrival of peacetime, however, their art has descended into the shadows of obscurity, where it remains to this day.

Warriors are savage mercenaries born from beastmastery. Wielding greataxes they can unleash magnificent damage to block enemies from reaching their brothers-in-arms, while excelling in the art of causing pain.
