Shayalyn

When you think of the classic tank in MMOs, it's likely you think about the Warrior; the mighty meat shield who fronts many a group, soaking up damage and dealing blows. Zinn offers up a comprehensive look at all the available pre-launch information on the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Warrior. Is this powerful class the one for you? Read the preview and decide for yourself.

I just wanna throw out a thanks to Shayalyn for keeping ahead of all this stuff. You make gathering information about this game a lot easier for us. I don't know how many seperate sites I had to go to and jump around on before I joined this forum, and that was only a few days ago.

Aye great work with the furom and class preview and such. As for the Warrior, it sound like a balance class being a good Meat shield or a good dps if they is already a tank in the group.

Shayalyn hit the nail on the head. We want to be able to provide all the available information possible. So people will not need to look elsewhere.

In regards to the Warrior guide. I really was not to excited about it because the information on Warriors was pretty sparce and that will probably be the case with many of the newer guides I work on. There was not a lot of informaton about the Warrior avaiable.

Right now the idea is to revamp all the guides with all current information avialbale. There are 10 left to go. Many of the classes that had lots of information I have already done. The classes left seem to have less information.

But again there is reason to hope that new information will come in. The beta journals have given us new information on Shamans, Bards, Druids and Necromancers. I have redone the Bard and Necromancer guides to add the additional information of the last few weeks. We just need to post them. Hexoynx provided us with some great information on Clerics. So hopefully the next few beta journals will be a bit better than the Warrior one. All the posts everyone has been making have been providing information that I have missed. These posts will make our guides and information a lot better. Thank you all for all the fantastic posts and new information.

I think you are right! The warrior will be the big shield weilding, pain magnet... The other tanks will all be off shoots from the warrior with some additional abilities that will give them a different flavor!

But with paladin's being THE protective fighters, doesn't everyone think they'll play a great deal with damage? I mean paladin's have the protection, dread knights their little fear thing, and from what I understand inquisitors magic... that means to make up the different warriors have to be able to dish a lot more out or they will be unbalanced.

Warrior has to rely on good weapon and armors, traditionally they require a lengthy process to become a really good meat shield and holds the aggro.
It is argubly one of the hardest class to balance (skills vs equipments).

I was a warrior in WoW and I would like to be a warrior in Vanguard as well.
