This is a test build. You may comment and rate it.

Difficulty:

Easy

Overview

Warriors can provide permanent Quickness (or Alacrity) and strong healing output Staff and Vigorous Shouts. The on-demand revives from Battle Standard make this an ideal build for commanders training new players in strikes and raids. This build is quite flexible, allowing it to bring whatever is needed to each encounter.

Berserker is significantly more capable than Bladesworn in this role, as it is able to use both Staff and Warhorn, and has access to Staff's powerful burst skill healing.

Skillbar

Staff

Mace/Warhorn

Utility

Weapon Variants

The mainhand option on the Warhorn set is a free choice. Mace is taken as default as it offers both CC and some active defence.
- Axe could be a good option on Bladesworn as it can trigger Lush Forest.
For players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure, Warhorn is the only support weapon option.

Skill Variants

Utility skills

Kick (warrior utility) - knockback for mechanics on fights like Samarog and Soulless Horror.
Bull's Charge/Wild Blow - extra CC.

Elite skills

Signet of Rage - if you know you don't need revives.
Head Butt - extra CC when playing Berserker variant.

Specializations

Warrior's Sprint - slightly more DPS and mobility, if you're certain you won't be downed and need to rally yourself.

Roaring Reveille - if extra Concentration and on-demand Resistance is needed, at the cost of some healing and your only source of Protection.
Empower Allies - for encounters with no conditions to cleanse.

Specialization Variants

Worse in general as a healer, this variant allows you to provide Alacrity instead of Quickness.

Equipment Variants

Stats

Giver's pieces can be taken for a tanking. Take as many pieces as you need to have the highest Toughness in your squad and keep the rest Harrier for more DPS.

Weapons

Axe is the highest DPS option, though you won't be dealing much damage. It can proc Lush Forest on Bladesworn and provide two combo finishers for condition removal in Light fields.
Maces can be brought in either slot to provide CC. Mace's burst skill Skull Crack does extremely high breakbar damage when combined with Sigil of Superior Sigil of Paralyzation (and Merciless Hammer if taking Defense).
Longbow can provide a good amount of Might with Combustive Shot dropping a 9-second fire combo field. Arcing Arrow and your Warhorn skills are all blast finishers. Longbow is also a good ranged option for tagging mobs in open world or festival farming.
Hammer can be brought if extra knockbacks and/or CC is needed, thanks to Staggering Blow
Mace (main hand) and/or offhand Shield can provide blocks for tanking.

Sigils

Sigil of Superior Sigil of Renewal - a small on-demand burst heal. Can weapon swap on cooldown even if you only bring one weapon set by placing the main hand in the first set and the offhand in the second set.
Sigil of Superior Sigil of Paralyzation if bringing Mace to focus on CC output.

Relics

Protection is not permanent without Staff, but you could make it so with Relic of the Zephyrite. This will require using an elite with a cooldown of 40s or less.
Relic of Karakosa only offers healing when using Warhorn, and as you only have a single combo field (Banner of Defense) you'll need to try to combo with your allies' fields. However, if you want to swap for Warhorn regularly for Swiftness and Vigor, this helps cover the shortfall in healing when not on Staff.

Usage

To be added.

-'''Spellbreaker''' over '''Defense''' for encounters where boonstripping is helpful.

Vale Guardian, Xera, The Broken King, Slothasor, and Matthias can see limited benefit.

-Use {{skill|Shield Stance}} to survive Mind Crush, then {{skill|Defiant Stance}} to heal off the ticking damage - you can also switch to warhorn for {{skill|Call of Valor}}.
-To ensure you have enough adrenaline that {{skill|Full Counter}} is available, you either need to weapon swap for each set, or run {{trait|Cleansing Ire}} instead. If weapon swapping, it important that you don't end up without a '''Shield''' then Mind Crush occurs. If necessary, you can skip the '''Warhorn''' and run '''Mace''' in one set with '''Shield''' in the other.
