Warrior Elite Skills

From Runes of Magic Wiki - The Runes of Magic

Warrior / Knight

The Warrior / Knight combination complements the Warrior's tanking abilities, giving them a ranged pulling ability (Whirlwind Shield), a potentially consistent blocking buff (Blocking Stance), a potent PVP-oriented cooldown (Ignore Pain), a potent damage/threat building skill (Shield Bash), and additional rage generation with Surprise Attack (Heroic Surprise Attack).

(Knight/Warrior)

Icon	Skill Name	Lvl	Consume	Cast Time	Cooldown	Range	Skill Effect	Upgradeable
	Whirlwind Shield	15	30 Mana(+3 perupgrade)	Instant	6 seconds	150	Throws your shield at target causing 35 (+7 per upgrade) plus 0.1 times the shield's defense value in damage. (Must have a shield equipped)	+7 damage and +3 mana cost per grade.

Warrior / Mage

The Warrior / Mage combination complements the Warrior's playstyle by taking advantage of a mana pool that often sees little use. It supplies a high-damaging weapon skill that buffs and stacks up to three times of magic damage done (30%) (Electrical Rage), a strong melee-range elemental-damage strike (Lightning's Touch), a Damage reduction ability (Sense of Danger), a ranged nuke (Thunder Sword), and the ability to imbue the Warrior's weapon to cause wind damage with every normal attack (Electric Attack). Overall, the warrior/mage combo provides other useful abilities like Silence and a snare spell (Lighting and augments the warrior's lack of range attacks with Thunder Sword which can be devastating when fully upgraded. Later on at higher levels, this combo begins to rely heavily on the magical aspect of its secondary as most of the later elite skills are based on magic damage, making the Intellect stat more important. While the combination can be seen as a hybrid class, ideally the player should choose between going either melee or magic focused as going balanced with both will only limit the abilities in the end.

Warrior / Priest

The Warrior / Priest combination is fairly eclectic. It features a desperation cooldown (Defender's Roar), an interrupting ability (Interrupting Strike), a buff to the Magic Barrier skill(Magic Barrier Perfection), an ability to convert health directly into rage (Bloodlust), and a high damage attack used when the target is Weakened as per Soft Spot (Opportunity).

Warrior / Rogue

The Warrior / Rogue elite skills, like the Warrior / Priest, don't affect a character's playstyle that much. One skill changes the functionality of Shadowstab's bleed effect (Shadowstab Perfection); another increases the warrior's base movement speed (Speed Up). Blood Dance gives characters another powerful attack that costs HP while Frenzied Attack acts as powerful but risky damage-increasing cooldown. Keen Attack is another combo skill, usable when the target is Vulnerable (as per Probing Attack), striking twice for a large amount of damage.

Warrior / Scout

The Warrior / Scout combination favors two-handed weapons in close range and adds more skills to the Scout's ranged skills. Warrior / Scouts gain a powerful close-range strike (Skull Breaker), a ranged stun (Stun Shot), a buff to the Moon Cleave skill (Moon Cleave Perfection), a ranged strike that complement Warrior rage generation (Aim for the Wound), and a ranged strike that does the same but is based off of weapon DPS (Sword Breath).
