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.

Beast Gauge in PvE

This symbol indicates the defensive stance Defiance is in effect. Defiance increases maximum HP while reducing damage dealt.

Advancing the Beast Gauge while under the effect of Defiance improves parry rate.

The Beast Gauge displays a warrior's current amount of wrath. Wrath is accumulated by using certain weaponskills, allowing for the execution of devastating actions.

This symbol indicates the offensive stance Deliverance is in effect, increasing damage dealt.

Beast Gauge in PvP

When a warrior uses the PvP ability Defiance, a symbol denoting a defensive stance will be displayed. When not employing Defiance, an offensive stance symbol will otherwise be displayed. In addition to these symbols, warriors also have a Beast Gauge which represents the current strength of their inner beast. The Beast Gauge is used to fuel various PvP abilities, and can be refilled by using combo actions.
