warrior class...its the worst

[Sgt. Giggle Mittens]

This is just my opinion and I am sure someone out there will disagree with me, but I find warrior to be the bar none worst class in the game.

1. Slow, sluggish, lock in animations makes fighting airborne enemies nearly impossible.

2. Complete ass, unable to dodge attacks, unable to react to incoming attacks, and not very useful in the team dynamic.

3. Yes, huge damage if you hit, but largely you wont be hitting anything except your controller in frustration.

I find fighter to be the superior class and its one of the starting classes. Its got utility in that it can block damage, it can deal out moderate damage, and most importantly you can react to situations as they unfold.

it's overrated for sure, and not as fun I hoped it would be, but I didn't run with that big dragon-punch attack (Skyward Sunder), which I'm sure is spammed a lot usually.

Goring Lunge is a must for me for trash mobs because why not.

I tried Tidal Fury as a counter, because that's what it's sopposed to be but it's complete garbage and I never get the counter lol.

Laughing as I Tidal Fury through a Drakes body slam.

After using the Dullahan Modular Vocation Overhaul mod, I've been having a lot more fun with the class. Makes the counter actually usable, and ark of might actually usable as well. Give that a try if you're on PC.

1. Know to work with it. Get used to the timing.

2. Again, learn to work with it.

3. Only if you won't learn to work with it.

Think of him as a heavy tank. You're slow, can't move fast. Once you start a swing it's hard to stop cos weight and momentum. You need patience/timing (skill) for your big shot.
But once you time your attacks right and learn when to hit you'll rule your battles and save the day taking down monsters easy with that upper cut and sweeping whole creatures aside in a wide arc like Conan.

But mayhaps the warrior is not for you, make your Pawn the warrior and be a thief, they're fast.

I love being the warrior.

Can't stand slow ass weapons. I'm the same in MH games. I avoid the GS like the plague. While it's not as bad as that it's still too slow for my liking. More often than not by the time I have swung my weapon the enemies have moved, or I whiff by a mm, or they are already dead. Much prefer faster weapons.

Warrior gets better the larger the opponent gets. The charge moves do a ton of knockdown while also keeping you safe from most attacks thanks to Repulse. Like most bosses just auto-lose to Heavenward Sunder. Postgame you even get Dragon's Flight to make Drakes even more of a joke.

With small enemies it can feel bad though. Warrior's slow and clumsy, and their signature charge attacks are overkill for goblin #468. They have some of the worst finishers - they're so slow you actually risk getting stunned before you can do any real damage, the tracking is too aggressive and you often fly over the opponent's head, Warrior's normals are slow in general so getting into position is a little rough. And they've failed against zombies multiple times. They also don't have a cheat skill against harpies like Cloudward Slash and Implicate.

Still, once you get everything in range of your basic attacks Warrior does a surprisingly good job of slaughtering packs of enemies. And I did do the Knacker hellwalk to Battahl as a Warrior, so it can't be all that bad. Hammers make Rattlers easy kills.

I still don't know what to think about Warrior pawns. I often see them charging up moves despite the only enemies being across the field. And as long as you treat burns, I imagine Fighter pawns last longer in Postgame.

the fighter vocation is my number one, S tier vocation. However, I really enjoyed the warrior as well. you just need to learn how to play it. It is risk vs rewards. it is slow as F but it also hits like a truck.

They had to make it slow or it would be OP. But I feel like Im being tortured when trying to attack things. Its just too slow and cumbersome. They dropped the ball on this occupation IMO . They got magic, super speed, blocking of dragon attacks by shields.....but this guy cant swing the sword a little bit faster.
I guess what Im trying to say is, yes its strong and still viable... but its NOT enjoyable for most people.

I love the Warrior. Easily my favourite class in both games.

Meister skill is utter trash however.
I run Gale Slash / Savage Lash / Skyward Sunder / Rending Sweep or Inspirit

[toasty frosting]

I just wish that a lot of Warrior's skills didn't feel like Core skills, but maybe a little better? Especially now that you have a basic charge move in your Core set.

As Warfarer with True Warfarer I tend to run Heavenward Sunder, Ravening Lunge, and waffle between all the other options because they're either so bad, outclassed by Heavenward, or are just kinda forgettable and I haven't really put too much time in them.
