¶ Warrior — Class Overview
¶ Introduction
The Warrior class on The Heroes' Journey (THJ) has been customized significantly from Live servers. With shortened cooldowns, out-of-era AAs, and enhanced combat disciplines, Warriors play an even stronger role as tanks and melee damage dealers. This guide covers key differences, auto-granted AAs, skill progression, and combat disciplines.
¶ Key Differences from Live
- Reduced Discipline Timers: Most disciplines have cooldowns under 15 minutes.
- Expanded AAs: Many out-of-era AAs are available in every expansion but balanced for THJ.
- Custom Warrior Epic 1.0 becomes available upon Kunark’s release.
¶ Warrior Level 1 Auto-Granted AAs
| AA | Cooldown / Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brutal Discipline | Passive | Boosts damage output but reduces healing received. |
| Rampage | Passive | Enables hits on all nearby enemies in melee range. |
| Roar of Challenge | Passive | Periodically infuses foes with intense hatred. |
| Battle Frenzy | Passive | 10 % chance / rank on kill to restore endurance and boost offense for 30 s. |
| Pinpoint Taunt | Passive | Chance to make an enemy stay engaged instead of fleeing. |
| Bazaar & Back Gate | 10 min | Teleports to Bazaar while out of combat. |

| Mystical Attuning V | Passive | Raises simultaneous mystical-effect limit. |
| Consume Item | Passive | Converts select items into mana or endurance. |
¶ Warrior Skills
Warriors receive all class skills automatically at level 1, increasing them through use. Some skills (e.g., Bash or Mend) may appear due to the server’s multiclassing system, but they cannot be used unless assigned at least one skill point.
