The warrior is the "tank" class of the game. Armed with sword and shield, the warrior can hack apart the other classes easily. However, while the warrior is the ultimate melee fighter, he lacks any kind of ranged attack. Other classes would be wise to attack from a distance when battling a warrior. Still, if a warrior can get close in a fight, the odds shift to the guy with a sword.
If two warriors battle, they engage in an elaborate sword duel where the key to winning is to use combat stances to deliver powerful blows to the enemy. For instance, while you can do a simple sword swing by tapping on the left mouse button, holding down that button and moving the mouse in a certain direction will ready a special type of sword strike. And if you're receiving a flurry of blows, you can tap on the right mouse button to parry, or deflect, a sword strike.
