![Beginner's Guide - [Warrior]](https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/iconimages/sro-guides-templates/beginners-guide-warrior_ltr.gif){kind=small}
NOTE: This is a basic guide (It varies on all levels and all skill masteries - just giving you the basics so that you can adapt with any Cap or level! )
The warrior is a class in Silkroad Online that can use 3 type of weapons (1-hand sword & shield, 2-handed sword and Dual Axe). It combines defensive and offensive strength with good buffs for the PT members and many skills to interrupt the opponents.
Stat points should be distributed completely into Str as your attacks are physical type. I recommend wearing Light Armor.
Advantages:
• very high defense power
• 2-hand-sword has some strong attacks with high attack power
• essential skills to support PT members
• ability to interrupt and stop opponent's movements with knockback and knockdown
Disadvantages:
• during a PT, the HP can fluctuate a lot depending on the given buffs that share the damage among the PT members and yourself
• 3 types of weapons can make it challenging to switch between them
• without a cleric or healing the chance of dieing is rather high
• attack range is among the lowest of all classes
Important Skills:
Vital Increase → Increases HP but reduces the attack power by 35%.
Sprint Assault → Rushing at opponent with chance to knockback and/or stun him.
Iron Skin → Increases your physical defense power.
Mana Skin → Increases your magical defense power.
Pain Quota → shares the damage taken by up to 2 PT members among all the other PT members.
Physical Fence → transfers a certain amount of % physical damage from the buffed player to you
Magical Fence → transfers a certain amount of % magical damage from the buffed player to you
Protect → Aggro absorption; can be buffed to 2 players.
Screens → Greatly increases target's defense for 1 minute (physical, magical and both types of defense).
Shield Trash → can be used with a shield to knock back with a high probability
Dare Devil → Warrior's strongest attack
Turn Rising → fast skill with chance to knock down opponent
Triple Swing → has increased damage when opponent is knocked down
Sudden Twist → useful skill to stun your opponent or adding bleed status
Skill bar example:
Role in PT hunting:
The warrior is a buffer and tanker in the PT.
He is responsible for protecting the Wizards and Bards from the mobs. It's important to always use 1h/Shield. If you understand how "mob aggro" works, then this class is easy and relaxing to play. The most important task is to keep the buffs on the PT members.
He mainly will stay near the cleric (don't run around!) and use skills like
• Taunting Target → to increase your aggro on the mobs (3 targets)
• Howling Shout → to increase your aggro on the mobs (5 targets)
• Vital Increase → to increase your HP and Aggro
In rare cases when you need to catch a mob use these skills:
• Sprint Assault → to get the mobs which are close at the Wizards or Bards
• Shield Trash → knocking back mobs into the killing center at the cleric
Let's come to the most important part of a Warrior - the buffing:
• Pain Quota (PQ) → give it to both Clerics. It is the most important buff for the PT and must be rebuffed before it runs out (5 minutes buff duration)!
• Physical/Magical Fence (PG/MG) → give it to the Lurer and to the lowest WIZ
• Protect → give it to the two WIZ with highest damage
From Alexandria PTs it is common to use 1 Cleric and 2 Lurers. Then the buff distribution looks like this: Pain Quota to Cleric and 壁WIZ (highest Lv Wizard using Ground Rave), Fences to both Lurers and Protect goes to the Wizards with ranged attacks.
Role in PVP:
In a 1v1 match you should make use of the numerous interrupting skills (Sprint Assault, Shield Trash, Turn Rising and Sudden Twist) to avoid getting damage from your opponent and try to attack when you see chance for dealing some damage with the strongest attack "Dare Devil".
During PTPVP the warrior in most cases is the tanker and buffer, not primarily the attacker. He is essential for the survivability of the PT and should use Vital Increase most the time. It's most important to keep your PT members buffed, especially "Pain Quota" that expires rather quickly. For "Physical/Magical Fence" it can be interesting to not max these two skills out as the damage you receive then might be too high. You furthermore can increase the defense of your PT members by using the "screens". It is helpful to not use all 3 screen on the same player or at the same time. Same for using skins to increase your defense. Use them on specific situations when it is required to survive.
Watch out for dangerous opponents and try to interrupt them primarily with "Sprint Assault"(very important to interrupt strong or ranged attacks like cleric's offering) or "Shield Trash"(it is faster than the advanced version "Shield Crush"). You should mostly wear 1-handed-sword and shield during the battle. When you are used to switching your weapons, you also can try to interrupt with 2-handed-sword (Turn Rising → knockdown) or Dual Axe (Sudden Twist → Stun). If you see a chance to deal damage, you can try to deal some with the 2-handed-sword-skill "Dare Devil". Cancelling "Vital Increase" will help you to deal some more damage.
Be careful when switching weapons as you need to equip to 1-h-sword before using the shield. Otherwise all your buffs on the Pt members will be canceled and chance that PT will be defeated is high. Even to myself it happens sometimes.
Mastery combination:
Adding a second mastery besides warrior will make your character more flexible during PT and stronger in general.
Rogue:
• gives you more access to strong physical attacks and it is one of the best 1v1 PVP builds, but you have access to 5 weapon types which makes it even more challenging to switch between them
Wizard:
• Teleport Skill will make your movement much quicker and more surprisingly
Warlock:
• gives you more options to stun and interrupt your opponents; beyond Lv124 it is one of the strongest masteries and most popular builds.
Bard:
• it is a great support char for both PT hunting (very relaxing) and for PTPVP but not that comfortable for solo activities
Cleric:
• one of the most popular mastery combinations as it gives your great defense, survivability and chance for heals
