{{DISPLAYTITLE:Warrior (''Final Fantasy XI'')}} [[File:XI Warrior Artwork.jpg|right|250px]] {{Quote|Specializing in the arts of battle, warriors act as shields, protecting their comrades from the enemy attacks.|Official description}} '''Warriors''' appear in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' as one of the base classes available to a player from character creation. Warrior possesses both offensive and defensive abilities. They have no MP but have a good amount of HP. [[Galka]] make a good choice for warrior because of high strength and high HP totals. {{See|Warrior (job)}} ==Becoming a Warrior== Since Warrior is a basic job, players can choose to become a warrior at any time, including when starting the game. A player who chooses to become a warrior when creating his character will be given an onion sword in addition to the adventurer certificate and ring associated with each city for qualifying races. ==Abilities== ''For a more in-depth description, see [[Warrior (Final Fantasy XI)/Abilities|the Warrior abilities page]]''. ===Job abilities=== {|class="full-width FFXI article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !style="width:15%"|Job Ability !style="width:8%"|Level !style="width:8%"|Recast !style="width:8%"|Duration !style="width:61%"|Description |- !{{LA|Mighty Strikes}} |1 |1:00:00 |0:00:45 |''Turns all melee attacks into critical hits.'' |- !{{LA|Provoke (status)|Provoke}} |5 |0:00:30 |β |''Goads an enemy into attacking you.'' |- !{{LA|Berserk (ability)|Berserk}} |15 |0:05:00 |0:03:00 |''Enhances attack but weakens defense'' |- !{{A|Defender}} |25 |0:03:00 |0:03:00 |''Enhances defense but weakens attacks.'' |- !{{LA|Warcry}} |35 |0:05:00 |0:00:30 |''Increases attack power for your party.'' |- !{{A|Aggressor}} |45 |0:05:00 |0:03:00 |''Enhances accuracy but impairs evasion'' |- !{{A|Retaliation}} |60 |0:03:00 |0:03:00 |''Allows you to counterattack but reduces movement speed.'' |- !{{A|Warrior's Charge}} |{{tooltip|75|Only unlocked with Merit Points}} |0:05:00 |0:01:00 |''Will double your next attack.'' |- !{{LA|Tomahawk (ability)|Tomahawk}} |{{tooltip|75|Only unlocked with Merit Points}} |0:03:00 |Varies |''Expends a Throwing Tomahawk to inflict a special defense down effect on an enemy.'' |- !{{A|Restraint}} |77 |0:10:00 |0:05:00 |''Enhances your weapon skill power with each normal attack you land.'' |- !{{A|Blood Rage}} |87 |0:05:00 |0:00:30 |''Enhances critical hit rate for party members within area of effect.'' |- !{{A|Brazen Rush}} |96 |1:00:00 |0:00:30 |''Increases your chance to execute a double attack.'' |- |} ===Job traits=== {|class="full-width FFXI article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !style="width:15%"|Job Trait !style="width:8%"|Tier !style="width:16%"|Levels !style="width:61%"|Description |- !{{LA|Defense Bonus}} |II |10 / 86 |''Improves defense against physical attacks.'' |- !{{A|Resist Virus}} |V |15 / 35 / 55 / 70 / 81 |''Gives you a slight resistance against viruses.'' |- !{{LA|Double Attack}} |III |25 / ?? / 76 |''May double your attacks.'' |- !{{A|Attack Bonus}} |II |30 / 91 |''Improves power of physical attacks.'' |- !{{A|Max HP Boost}} |IV |30 / 50 / 70 / 90 |''Increases your maximum HP.'' |- !{{LA|Fencer (ability)|Fencer}} |V |45 / 58 / 71 / 84 / 97 |''Increases critical hit Rate when wielding with the main hand only.

In the lower levels, Warriors are often expected to [[Tank (Term)|tank]] enemy creatures. Warriors become primarily offensive in nature or become a "First Provoke" class. At any level, a warrior can be a useful ally. They can use most weapons and have a good rating in many of them. They excel with the use of Axes and Great Axes. ===Strengths=== *Very high damage capacity with axes. *Good rating for most weapons, making it easier to learn alternate weapons. *[[#Aggressor|Aggressor]], [[Berserk (ability)|Berserk]], [[Double Attack]], and [[Warcry]] make it a popular subjob for increasing physical attack DPS. *[[Warrior (Final Fantasy XI)#Defender|Defender]] and [[Provoke (status)|Provoke]] also make it an attractive subjob for tanking. ===Weaknesses=== *Very expensive gear selection (due to the vast number of warriors leveled, largely). *Not the most desirable tank. *Un-specialized. It can easily be replaced by [[Samurai (Final Fantasy XI)|Samurai]] or [[Dragoon (Final Fantasy XI)|Dragoon]] for damage, or [[Paladin (Final Fantasy XI)|Paladin]] or [[Ninja (Final Fantasy XI)|Ninja]] for tanking. ==[[Support Job]]s== ===[[Ninja (Final Fantasy XI)|Ninja]]=== Ninja is the most common support job for warriors after level 20. The ability to [[Dual Wield]] is highly valued. Some Warriors wield two axes, allowing them to do great damage and gain TP quickly. [[Utsusemi (status)|Utsusemi]] is helpful to avoid physical attacks when the Warrior gains the greatest [[Enmity (term)|enmity]] after a [[Final Fantasy XI weapon skills|weapon skill]] or in case they need to [[Provoke (status)|Provoke]] to save other party members. ===[[Samurai (Final Fantasy XI)|Samurai]]=== Samurai is a valuable support job for Warriors who want to use great axe, great sword, or polearm at high levels. Samurai both helps the Warrior gain [[TP]] quickly through its [[Store TP]] trait and [[Meditate (ability)|Meditate]], but it also provides the ability [[Hasso]] which gives [[Haste (status)|haste]], [[accuracy]], and a strength boost to users using a two handed weapon. ===[[Monk (Final Fantasy XI)|Monk]]=== Monk probably remains the most popular support job for Warriors under level 20 and will occasionally be seen as a support job for even higher level Warriors. Monk statistics compliment Warriors well and provide a moderate boost in total HP. Also, some Monk abilities are useful for Warriors, like [[Focus (ability)|boost]]. [[Brawler (ability)|Martial Arts]] reduces the delay of hand-to-hand attacks for Warriors wanting to skill up that weapon or who want to actually use this type of weapon, though such use is rare. ===[[Thief (Final Fantasy XI)|Thief]]=== Thief is a great support job upon reaching level 30 and obtaining [[Sneak Attack (ability)|Sneak Attack]]. Sneak Attack gives a free [[critical hit]] with 100% accuracy, which makes it a good choice for combining with a high powered weapon skill. Thief statistics will assist in accuracy, which is very important for Great Axe-wielding Warriors who may get frustrated from missing on such a high-delay weapon. Thief-specific job traits such as [[gil bonus abilities|Gilfinder]] and [[Treasure Hunter (ability)|Treasure Hunter]] are among other important boosts that help any job. ==Other appearances== ===''[[Final Fantasy Trading Card Game]]''=== Warrior appears with fire-elemental cards. <gallery> Warrior XI TCG.png|Trading card. Warrior2 XI TCG.png|Trading card. </gallery> ===''[[Final Fantasy Portal App]]''=== [[File:222a Warrior.png|right|100px]] A galka warrior appears as a [[Triple Triad (Portal App)|Triple Triad]] card. {{clear}} ==Gallery== <gallery> Warrior Concept.jpg|Concept art of a Warrior.
