Guide to Warriors.

I plan to have a warrior write a tretise for me on the secrets to being a warrior, but I will give a guide to warriors from a mage and poets point of view, plus what I know of fighting from my warrior friends. 

First, warriors do get spells that make their fighting stronger, I know only a few like beserk and whirlwind, both of which do massive damage in a single hit.  A warriors greatest needs are a poet to heal and ASV him and a mage to paralyze the monsters, vex them, venom them, and basically keep them from killing him off.  When a warrior walks into a room full of monsters, he is already dead, because for every hit he gets, they get to hit back.  So, a warrior's greatest asset is his vita, any massive damage spells, and his handy, dandy friends, the mage and poet.

The thing most warriors do wrong in battle, is to assume that the mage/poet is there to protect them.  This is incorrect, it is NOT the duty of the mage or poet to protect the warrior, but vice versa.  If the warrior isn't keeping the monsters away from the poet or mage, the poet or mage cannot do their jobs, healing, or dealing with monsters.  Also, warriors often tell the mage to paralyze the room, then get angry when monsters are still moving.  They should be telling the mage to blind the room, and paralyze the particular monster they are about to attack.  The reason is twofold.  Paralyze fails to take effect about 33% of the time, leaving 1/3 of the monsters still moving in the first paralyze round.  Second, paralyze lasts for like 30 seconds (less on some monsters), which means the mage has to go around the room constantly reparalyzing, which usually results in a dead party.  Blind on the other hand lasts for up to 3 minutes, giving the mage a chance to paralyze just the creatures the warrior is about to face, and to use his other spells like vex, venom, sleep, etc. to  make the monsters easier for the fighter to kill.  So remember warriors, protect your poets and mages, and make sure they have both blind AND paralyze! Also, since beserk and whirlwind take almost all your vita, warn us before using these spells!
